"Get out!" Seeing that the knight who had rushed to deliver the order still fell to his knees. Zhongshan Prime Minister Zhang Chun shouted angrily.

"Whoa!" The knight was neither humble nor arrogant, and turned away.

"The anger of the minister of the country is relieved." When the messenger was gone, a man stepped out from behind the screen. This person is a fairy and has a dusty appearance. It must be a demon in the Taiping Qing Collar Road.

"Ugh." Zhang Chun sighed: "Sangqiu is just an old city, low-lying, and on the border, the people have fled, and it has long been abandoned. However, after all, it is the land of the ancestors, and there is a way to fight for every inch of land. How easy it is to slaughter and sell to others now! ”

As the minister of a country with great power, the reason why Zhang Chun was helpless was because of the separation of sovereignty and governance in the vassal states of the Han Dynasty.

The prime minister only has the power to govern, and the sovereignty remains with the monarch. Thereupon. Assign a frontier wasteland that no one cares about to another prince, and the king of Zhongshan can decide himself.

"Since it is a ruined city, why should the prime minister be angry." The Taoist persuaded.

"Immortal Master, look." Zhang Chun pointed to the topographic map of the mountains and rivers of Zhongshan Country on the screen: "Sangqiu City is located in the south of Nanyi Water, backed by the Great Wall of Guyan. It penetrates deep into our borders and forms a strong defense line with several surrounding cities. Once we make an incident, the northern expedition to the country of Ji must break through Sangqiu City, the enemy city, Santai City, and several cities to blockade. Liu Bei, the king of thistles, is good at building, or within three months, the cities will be solid. Our army has no siege weapons, and the roads are muddy, how can we capture it in a hurry? ”

"March ......" the Taoist smiled: "We will rush before he will build the border of the country, and wave the army north." Cooperate with the three counties of Wuhuan, attack up and down, and destroy the country in a war! ”

"That's good." Zhang Chun was overjoyed.

"But I don't know how many soldiers and horses the prime minister has?" The Taoist couldn't help but ask.

"There are 3,000 soldiers in the county and 5,000 private soldiers. From the younger brother Zhang Ju is Yuyang Haoqiang, now Taishan Taishou. I made an agreement with him to do things together. (Zhang) Ju has secretly recruited thousands of Taishan thieves and hid them in the valley. With just one order, they will bravely go north and join forces with us. ”

"Oh?" The Taoist is also happy: "Taishan hero, I have also heard of it." How many people have been recruited so far? ”

"About three thousand." Zhang Chun said with a smile: "Thanks to the great help of the sect master, we were able to raise thousands of strong soldiers. ”

"Who is in charge?" The Taoist asked again.

"Langya thief Yan Lang, leading Wu Dun, Yin Li, Changba, Sun Kang, Sun Guan Taishan Wukou."

"Three thousand is still too little." The Taoist thought for a while and said, "The Youzhou Holy Sect has suffered repeated disasters, and there is no foundation. The three counties Wuhuan sent 30,000 troops. We also need to make up 10,000 of them. ”

Zhang Chun replied: "Taishan County, the land is connected to the mountains and seas, and the people are flowing. There are often people who make trouble according to the danger, and the mountain is the coward. It's for the Tarzan thieves. Since his younger brother Zhang Ju arrived as Taishan Taishou, he has secretly formed a good alliance with the thieves and chieftains. If you take it for your own use now, it will cost you a lot of gold and silver. ”

"It's easy to hear." The Taoist smiled profoundly: "There will be brave men under the heavy reward." The prime minister only cares about fundraising, and he doesn't bother with money. ”

"So I sent a message to my brother and asked him to recruit them all." The move is imminent, and the tigers and wolves under his command should be as many as possible.

The reason why Liu Bei chose the ancient city to rebuild. The main thing is to save valuable time.

The so-called high-rise buildings rise from the ground.

"Flat land" is the key to building tall buildings. The so-called flat ground refers to a solid foundation.

Before building a city, the foundations need to be rammed. Before building the foundation, it is necessary to carry out a "soil test". There are different names such as "soil identification method" and "soil weighing method".

The so-called soil identification is to excavate the exploratory well to test the soil after the foundation site is selected. It is better to "fine but not loose soil, oily but not dry, bright but not dark".

Nowadays, this "hole well exploration method" is very similar to the pit exploration method in later exploration.

Specifically: "Take a piece of soil, one inch on all sides is called, weigh more than nine taels for auspicious land, five and seven taels for the middle auspicious, three and four two fierce land." Or use a bucket to measure the soil, the soil is broken and the amount is flat, and it is called, each bucket is ten catties for the superior, eight or nine catties are medium, and seven or eight catties are inferior. ”

The essence of the concept of good luck and evil actually refers to the compactness and solidity of the soil. And to infer the advantages and disadvantages of the air permeability and water permeability of the foundation, and the size of the bearing capacity. This is not superstition.

If it is a 'fierce land' and it is not suitable to build a city, it is necessary to change the site of the city and continue to distinguish the soil until you find a 'good place'.

But if the location is strong, it must build a city on the 'fierce land'. There are also methods.

There are roughly two ways to deal with the foundation soil of the 'fierce land': the soil replacement method and the dense reinforcement method.

Soil exchange method: that is, to dig up all the "fierce land" and "inferior" soil within a certain depth under the foundation. Replace the 'auspicious land' and 'high-quality' soil, and then tamp it in layers as a holding layer. In order to increase the stability and load-bearing capacity, it is even switched to 'crushed brick clay', or the more powerful 'triple clay'.

Dense reinforcement method: In a word, it is piling. Reinforcement of the soil layer with piles. Similar to dry-slab buildings, the soil layer is not soft enough to support it, so piles are placed to assist in load-bearing. According to the different bearing capacity, the number, density and thickness of the piles are different. When Liu Bei was a teenager, he used a gloomy wooden nail into the mud to build a righteous hospital and borrowed this method.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Liu Bei's Ji Kingdom was located in Han Zhaoyan, at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. In order to guard the border, the three families spared no expense when building the city.

Take Santai City as an example. Liu Bei has ordered people to see it, and the foundation is rammed like an iron plate. From the excavation of the edge of the foundation, it is known that the total thickness of the existing rammed earth is 2 (3.1m), and the thickness of each layer of rammed earth is more than 2 inches (4 ~ 5 cm). Like a hundred steels, layers of ramming, thousands of hammers and even accumulation of two thick! Even the bottom of the rammed earth is paved with three layers of pebbles for reinforcement. Stone slag, broken bricks, tiles, etc. are also added to the rammed earth to further improve the strength.

It is conceivable that at the beginning of the construction of this city, it spared no expense.

Whenever he saw these remnants of the monuments, Liu Bei's awe awe. What kind of civilization is the pre-Qin period in ancient times? How many catastrophes have the land of China experienced, I am afraid that this long river of history will not be recorded by the historians of all dynasties throughout their lives.

Again, that's the same sentence. How can we know these fragments of civilization that have been forgotten by most people in later generations without being in this era?

The reconstruction of the original site saves a lot of cumbersome labor and directly rises from the ground, which is the most convenient.

Sangqiu City was once the capital of the Hou Kingdom, and when it was built, it was far better than ordinary cities.

This is another important reason why Guan Ning tried his best to choose this city.

Liu Bei understood. So he used tens of millions of gold in exchange for a piece of barren land.

Just when Liu Bei was building a city and preparing for punctuality. His Majesty, who is far away in Luoyang, is not idle.

At the end of August, His Majesty took He Jin as the general, and led the five schools of Yulin and Beiying to Tunluoyang Duting, and took the Zhenjing Division. And set up around Luoyang, Kyoto: Hangu, Yique, Guangcheng, Otani, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin Eight Passes, and Place Eight Pass Duwei. To oversee the military and political affairs of the eight customs and guard the safety of Kyoto.

So far, Luoyang City is full of sanitation, there are many strong passes, and the situation is dangerous. Collectively known as "Baguan Duyi".

Just as before leaving, when he met Liu Bei for the last time, His Majesty said. As long as you hold Luoyang and let Taiping Road wreak havoc in the eastern part of the country, I can also sit firmly on Yutai. Seeing the cranes and mussels fighting, they reaped the benefits of the fishermen.

Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Your Majesty is really a master.
