The doves cooed and left layers of guano on the log towers. But Lin Fei didn't mind this, he liked to climb up the tower alone to feed his pigeons with millet, and look out over the bay and the whole city of Jinxi from the tower. Perhaps, by the standards of the Central Plains, "Jinxi City" can only be regarded as a stockade at best. But as far as Liaodong is concerned, there are city walls, arrow towers, ports, markets, and yamen, no matter from any point of view, it is a city, a city with small sparrows but all kinds of organs. With the arrival of the first batch of immigrants from the Central Plains, Jinxi City also thrived like a sapling that absorbed sufficient nutrients.

One day, the saplings I planted will grow into a big tree in the sky - Lin Fei swore in his heart as he looked around at the crowded streets. Yes, every wharf, every street, and every house here is from Lin Fei's hands. It was he who persuaded Bunton to build Jinxi City on the south bank of the mouth of the Little White Wolf River; It was he who commanded the slaves recruited by Wang Lie to set up the first wharf at the mouth of the Little White Wolf River; It was he who exchanged the cloth and wine brought by the caravan with the Wuhuan people for grain, cattle and sheep, so that the first batch could start to settle the land as soon as they arrived. In fact, in terms of the geographical division of future generations, this place should not be "Jinxi", but "Jinzhou", because the Little White Wolf River is the future Xiaoling River. But it doesn't matter. Cai Ji asked for a city, and Lin Fei gave her a city, and the location was even better than what she originally chose.

"Lin Langjun is really here."

A loud voice interrupted Lin Fei's thoughts. Following this familiar voice, Lin Fei saw at a glance that Yu Ji, dressed in a gossip white robe, was comfortably sitting on a sedan chair decorated with Shu brocade and fur, and was carried steadily by eight strong slaves. Yu Ji was followed by dozens of male and female believers, including the Taiping Taoist members of the Central Plains, the Wuhuan people, the Buyeo people, and some unnamed savages. It is said that these newly joined barbarians are all mages and wizards in the vicinity, and they were subdued by Yu Ji because of their failure in the fight. Of course, the so-called "fighting method" is just a bluffing trick in Lin Fei's eyes, and some of the bridges were designed by Lin Fei before.

Whatever. Anyway, if you can bluff the barbarians, it's done. After all, immigrants and Wang Lie's men alone could not keep Jinxi City at all. The reason why Lin Fei was able to establish a city belonging to the Han people in this unfamiliar northern Xinjiang was because of the support of Lord Wuhuan. And Badun is not a good man and a woman, the reason why he will help Lin Fei is because he needs the iron tools of the Central Plains, the cloth of the Central Plains, and the utensils of the Central Plains. The Wuhuan people are excellent warriors, but they are by no means good craftsmen. Their craft water products are not even as good as those of the Samhans. The Samhan people can at least shoot good swords, but if the Wuhuan people don't have the craftsmen of the Han and Samhan people, they don't even have someone to repair their armor. Therefore, Badun needs Jinxi Port, just as Jinxi needs the protection of the Wuhuan people. It's just that who can guarantee that the barbarian who lives in Changli City will not be hot-headed one day and suddenly rush into the city to loot. Therefore, at least before Jinxi can accumulate the power to belong, they need such a figure with "divine power" to suppress the capricious barbarians.

With this in mind, Lin Fei walked downstairs quickly with a formulaic smile on his face, and greeted Yu Ji with his hand, "The Great Master has come to visit, and he has never been far away. Disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Lin Langjun was polite. It's uninvited. Yu Ji politely returned the salute, but he didn't mean to let the slave put down the sedan chair, so he still maintained the posture of looking down on Lin Fei, and said to him, "Lin Langjun, this seat wants to build an astrology pavilion and a shrine on the mountain north of the house for divination and fortune-telling." ”

Astrology Pavilion? Temple? Does this old man really regard himself as a god? Or when he was the emperor here? Lin Fei obviously didn't like Yu Ji's high-minded attitude. Especially in the case of their own details, Yu Ji's various pretenses were very ridiculous in Lin Fei's eyes. But he had to put on a pious appearance and responded, "Guru Mingjian, hasn't he already built a retreat for his Guru in the west of the city?" ”

"Feng Shui in the west of the city is not good. Moreover, the ashram was so small that it needed a shrine to be able to meet with the believers who came to study and seek medical treatment. Yu Ji shook his head repeatedly.

Believers who come to study? Do you mean those brutes? Enough is enough, just enough. Even runic water is not a panacea. There will always be times when the treatment is unsuccessful, and then you have to explain to these barbarians? Is it because of disbelief that it cannot be saved, as it was in the Central Plains? I hope these brutes will listen to you. Lin Fei slandered Yu Ji on the one hand, and responded with a wry smile on the other hand, "Master, as you can see, the people have just landed on the shore, they need to be resettled, they need to rest. Moreover, the summer in Liaodong is very short, and the winter is very long, before the cold winter comes, Jinxi City needs to store enough grain for the winter. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to spare enough people in the city to build the temple for a while. ”

"Donglai will bring enough grain and grass for the people in the city to survive the winter. Lin Langjun doesn't have to bother about this. Yu Ji sneered.

"Master Mingjian, Cai Yuanjun did promise to provide grain and grass to Jinxi City, but Master Don't forget that the sea route is very dangerous. This time, one of the migrant ships got lost at sea and was never seen again. Not to be outdone, Lin Fei warned.

Hearing Lin Fei mention the turbulent sea, Yu Ji's face couldn't help but change slightly. It seems that the last trip to the sea made an extremely impressive impression on this lama. But Yu Ji still stubbornly said, "Then build it in winter." Idle is idle anyway. ”

Winter? Winter here can directly freeze people's ears off. Of course, those newly attached barbarians may be happy to build a temple in a winter for the "living immortals". Lin Fei leaned over to Yu Ji happily with a mocking mentality, "Willing to serve you." ”

Yu Ji saw that Lin Fei was no longer pushing, and his originally stiff face immediately eased. He even asked Lin Fei in a friendly tone, "Then there is Lao Lin Langjun." However, the grain storage in the city also needs Lin Langjun to worry a lot. ”

Sure enough, even the "living immortals" can't conjure food out of thin air. After Lin Fei secretly sneered, he replied confidently, "Master don't worry. Lin has gone out to sea to fish and salted the fish. This winter in Jinxi City will not be too bad. ”

When Lin Fei said this, he had to thank Cai Ji in his heart for providing him with the method of drying salt, which saved him a lot of manpower. The Little White Wolf Estuary is a natural salt farm, and as long as he is given enough management, he can make Jinxi a well-known salt capital. When the time comes, whether it is Dongyi between the white mountains and black waters, or the Huns from the desert steppe, they will buy salt from here, use their cattle and sheep, use their horses, and even them. In addition, he was able to transport tea by sea in Guò. For the meat-eating barbarians, there is no more magical drink than tea. They will definitely pay a lot of money for it. In an instant, Lin Fei fell in love with this feeling. Stay away from the conspiracy of the Central Plains, stay away from the ancient oath, and just run a city that belongs to him wholeheartedly.

However, Yu Ji's next sentence broke Lin Fei's beautiful imagination. I saw the white-bearded old man stroking his long beard and laughing loudly, "Thanks to Lin Langjun, Jinxi in this seat can rest easy." ”

Your Jinxi? You didn't do it, just sit back and enjoy it. Lin Fei couldn't stop roaring in his heart. But from the respectful attitude of the surrounding people and barbarians to Yu Ji, even if Lin Fei didn't do it, he was still the founder of Jinxi in the eyes of most people, and he was a "living immortal". And the man who built them a city, and brought them food and a stable life, was in their eyes just a strange man who could keep pigeons. In fact, the children of Momen have been repeating the same scene since a long time ago. They traveled around the world, offering their knowledge and skills to their monarchs. Then the kings of the nations discarded them as if they were tools. And now, even if he cooperates with a lost dog like Taiping Dao, he is still thrown aside.

It's hopelessly stupid.

Lin Fei's face and heart showed a self-deprecating smile at the same time. But it occurred to him that there was another collaborator, who was equally ambitious, but at least the girl knew how to respect ancient knowledge. In this troubled world without faith, there are not many such princes.

Liu Ye rode his horse to stand in front of the formation, watching a car rushing through the flames and reaching the gate of Runan, but was smashed by the stone smash from the city head. Liu Ye seemed indifferent to this, he was just thinking that if there was a device that could throw the boulder, wouldn't it be able to smash more siege equipment, maybe he could use wooden balls instead, maybe he could call it a "thunderbolt......

Of course, Liu Ye will not share his thoughts with others, because this will make him regarded as a monster by others. When Liu Ye was very young, he liked to study the ancient books of his family, including a set of Mozi. Many of the siege machines he made were inspired by these ancient texts. An elder once warned him to touch those books less, because those books were not the right way. But soon troubled times came, and what was written in those books proved to be very useful. They brought him glory and wealth. However, Liu Ye did not intend to tell Yuan Shu about the idea of the thunderbolt car, and he was not even willing to continue to build any siege equipment for Yuan Shu. Because those books of the hundred schools of thought not only taught Liu Ye how to make siege equipment, but also made him understand what is the master of the Ming and what is the lord of the wolf.

Yuan Shu is not a master from any point of view, he is not even a wolf master, he is just a single husband. So Liu Ye didn't want to stay by Yuan Shu's side. But his family is in Yangzhou and is under the control of Yuan Shu, which makes Liu Ye have to work for Yuan Shu. In fact, there are many people in Yuan Shu's camp who have similar experiences. The family gave them a good education and living environment, but they had to be burdened by the family, and they could not choose the lord they wanted like those humble Han scholars.

"Ziyang, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the failure of the Divine Weapons Battalion to repair the well in time." Yang Hong, who appeared at some point, interrupted Liu Ye's train of thought. But his tone was not as harsh as what he said.

Therefore, Liu Ye only responded truthfully, "It takes a lot of wood to make a well. The lord was in a hurry to attack the city, and he could only build a chariot. ”

The well is a siege weapon that is more than 10 meters tall and is used to attack the defenders of the city walls and protect your own soldiers as they climb the walls. This is a moving arrow tower, which can bring a devastating blow to the defenders at the head of the city. Liu Ye once asked his subordinates to build three wells, but they were all burned into a pile of charcoal by Cao Cao's soldiers and horses on a dark and windy night. It was extremely common for the two armies to have a night attack against each other, but Yuan Shu, who had an army of 100,000, still caused thousands of Cao cavalry to burn important siege equipment as if they were in a no-man's land. But Yuan Shu was already about to attack the city as originally planned. This made Liu Ye have to hastily build three rushing cars and four temporary vehicles overnight to cooperate with the army to attack the city. Naturally, its effect is not comparable to those siege engines that were previously built.

Yang Hong listened to Liu Ye's answer, sighed and said, "Lord, I want to do my best to capture Runan City." ”

"But Cao Jun is very tenacious." Liu Ye shook his head with a twisted brow. Whether it is in the book or in reality, it tells Liu Ye that the siege is a cruel and long process, especially in the face of a difficult opponent like Cao Jun. Yuan Shu's wish was obviously a bit taken for granted.

"Everybody knows that. It's just that time doesn't wait for me. Yang Hong grinned bitterly. The latest battle reports show that Cai Ji of Donglai has led his troops south, and in less than a month, he has occupied Langya County in Xuzhou. After hearing the news, Lu Bu directly withdrew his troops from Xiaopei to the south of Peiguo, I don't know if he wanted to regroup? Or go back to Xuzhou to deal with Cai Anzhen? If it is the latter, this means that Liu Bei of Pei County will free up his hand to threaten Yuan Shu's right side. In addition, Sun Ce also defeated Yan Baihu and others in Wu County at the same time, and could continue to threaten Guangling County under Yuan Shu at any time. The surrounding situation is not good for Yuan Shu, but as long as he can take Runan City, he can easily solve every problem. Sun Ce will withdraw from the army, and Cai Ji will also weigh the pros and cons and stay still. But even if there is only one condition, it is not easy to achieve it at the moment. Thinking of this, Yang Hong once again asked Liu Ye expectantly, "Ziyang, do you think there is still a Mo family siege technique that you haven't used?" ”

"Don't hide it from Master Yang, everything I learned in Mozi has been used. After all, the siege of the city can only be achieved by the soldiers sacrificing their lives. Just like Cao Jun did not have large equipment, he had been holding on for months with manpower alone. Liu Ye turned around and said earnestly.

But what our army lacks now is the courage to sacrifice one's life. Looking at the soldiers who were driven away by Cao Jun on the opposite side, Yang Hong's mood was melancholy. Those newly joined rogues only wanted to follow Wang Shi to take advantage. And His Majesty doesn't plan to let his descendants attack the city, so it's not a good thing to be so anxious. And just when Yang Hong was worried, he suddenly saw a scout galloping not far away, turned over and dismounted and offered him a leather cylinder, "Military Master Shouchun 800 miles urgent"

Shouchun 800 miles expedited? Yang Hong took the leather cylinder from the scout's hand in confusion, and quickly poured out the hemp paper from it and took a look at it. The next moment, his catfish-like face suddenly turned white. Seeing this posture, Liu Ye next to him couldn't help but ask him with concern Yang Junshi, what happened? ”

Seeing Yang Hong open his mouth, he spit out the words with difficulty, "Shou...... Shouchun is in a hurry"
