Tang Ming's envoy to Jiaohe City would naturally see the situation of the Sogdians clearly, and this kind of armed seizure of power was not worth making a fuss about, but what shocked him was that Alidayi, the "god of war" of the new Sogdian king, turned out to be the middle-aged envoy who beat gongs and drums to meet Kong Xiaoxian that day.

What a lot of guts.

No wonder the first envoy was stunned when he saw him, but Agilhan was worthy of being the messenger, and when he saw Alidayi, he was stunned and didn't say a word.

Go and go back quickly, Tang Ming reported the news to Kong Xiaoxian, and Kong Xiaoxian sent someone to send a letter to Wuwei quickly.

He was not worried about the scouts being killed when he ran to Wuwei this time, because the Liang army scouts ran with the Sogdian messengers, changing horses all the way, and they were all changing Sogdian horses, and at the same time, the Sogdian soldiers outside Zhangye City withdrew to Jiayu Pass, and at this time, the new Sogdian king Alidayi was also anxious when he learned that the Donghu people had participated in the war.

In the face of the Sogdians who ran back from the direction of Wuwei, the defenders of Zhangye and Jiuquan opened the door of convenience and quickly let them go.

At this time, General Kong Xiaoxian became a "contractor foreman", commanding the reconstruction of Jiuquan City, and made him disgraced all day long. While rebuilding, he cursed himself for being reckless, the fire burned "cleanly" at the beginning, and now he has too much work to do.

Zhonglang turned the adult into a "general contractor foreman", personally commanding the construction, not to mention the generals below, Chen Mu, the "small contractor foreman", led a temporary brigade of 200 soldiers to transport wood all day long.

The animal power was not enough, so he went to Jiayuguan to borrow it, and Alidayi was really interesting enough to lend Chen Mu 200 horses.

There's a ridiculous thing.

Dian Xiaozhong said that he used to work as a bricklayer, and now the four gates of Jiuquan are seriously damaged, and he has a lot of money to say that he wants to rebuild the arches.

Kong Xiaoxian praised.

Not to mention, the allegiance really has two hits, and he really succeeded.

Kong Xiaoxian was overjoyed and led people to applaud and celebrate under the city gate.

Unfortunately, on the third day, the arch collapsed, bringing down the city gate tower, and with a bang, the storm rose, and the dust raised high drifted out with the wind for three miles......

Fortunately, there were few soldiers in Liang at that time, and they all went to work elsewhere, otherwise I don't know how many people would have died in this stone.

Chen Mu suggested that the north and south gates should be sealed altogether.

Kong Xiaoxian disagreed.

Later, Chen Mu suggested that Weng Cheng be added.

Kong Xiaoxian said that there are too few people to be busy.

Chen Mu went to Jiayuguan again to seek help from Alidayi.

Strange to say, Ali Dayi gave Chen Mu a lot of face and sent 2,000 laborers to help build Jiuquan.

Seeing Chen Mu leading two thousand people over, Kong Xiaoxian was startled. Ask Chen Mu, how did you do it?

Chen Mu said, now Alidayi is doing his best to show goodwill to the Liang Dynasty, he will agree to any request I make, but what, you must pay attention to integrity, the horse I borrowed from him must be returned one by one, and the person who borrowed from him must also be treated well. And what...... Don't tell my eldest brother that I borrowed it in your name.

Kong Xiaoxian was speechless.

Jiuquan City is engaged in civil engineering.

Among the Sogdian laborers, a young woman who could speak Chinese was always by the side of the "Chen Baogong", who was responsible for passing the word and running errands.

After getting along for a long time, one night, the girl shyly replied to come to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was very embarrassed.

It's not that Chen Mu doesn't like women, it's just that it's inappropriate to do so. As a general, you must always consider the big picture.

So that night, Chen Mu taught the girl to read and write, and also told her "The Legend of the Martyr" (in fact, in Chen Mu's opinion, this is a dross), and talked about it until dawn. Since then, the girl never came to Chen Mu at night. - Who doesn't want to be embarrassed. Longlong

"Alas, Xiao Chen, I see that the wood is almost enough, so don't use so many people, borrow me a few." The "bricklayer" who was responsible for the reconstruction of the city gate came to Chen Mu to borrow someone.

Chen Mu said: "You can lend them to you, but you can't treat them as slaves. Be friends. Can you do it? ”

"Why not, I'm not stupid."

"That's good."

Although the official position of Dian Xiaozhong is not as high as Chen Mu, they are of the same rank, and Dian Xiaozhong is Kong Xiaoxian's confidant, and he was once Chen Mu's boss. Therefore, now the allegiance is not called Chen Mu's official position, but "Xiao Chen". Chen Mu didn't take him seriously, otherwise he would be too unsympathetic.

Dian Xiaozhong collapsed the city gate tower last time, and Kong Xiaoxian didn't reprimand him harshly, but just told him to be careful in the future and not to be frizzy.

After the last lesson, the allegiance of the pawn is to increase the stone. He said that the reason why it collapsed last time was because the old stone was rotten, otherwise with his craftsmanship, it would never have collapsed.

No matter what Dian Xiaozhong said, Chen Mu was not very relieved, when he walked through the city gate, he always felt that there was danger above his head, and he couldn't wait to go in and out of the city in a hanging basket.

Dian Xiaozhong left with a thousand people, but in the afternoon, the "leader" of this thousand people, Agilhan, came to Chen Mu, saying that Dian's loyalty did not treat us as human beings, and we decided to leave.

As soon as he heard this, Chen Mu became angry and took Agilhan to find the theory of allegiance to Dian.

The pawn is not convinced.

Chen Mu reprimanded the allegiance of the canon.

Later, Dian's allegiance to pick a son quit, and told Chen Mu, you have the ability to do it, if you can repair the city gate, I will call you Dad, if you can't repair it, you call me Dad!

Chen Mu sneered and said in his heart: Building an arch is not too high-tech for me.

Chen Mu first used wood to build an arch, and then laid an arch stone on the wood, and through the extrusion between the stones, an arch was perfectly made. Chen Mu ran up, jumped up, stepped on it, and felt very strong. Seeing Chen Mu jumping, the Sogdian girl with a high nose and deep eyes also jumped and laughed.

I thought this would be a success, and walked down the arch with the girl, when the lame man ran over: "Boy, you may have to call your father for allegiance." Look at that kid, sitting by the wall, grinning, saying that you can't do it. ”

Chen Mu looked up at his masterpiece and felt that it should not collapse.

At this time, the Sogdian girl whispered: "In our Sogdia, there are masters of building arches everywhere, haven't you seen our *** temple?" Each one is vaulted, much more complex than yours. Why don't you ask them. ”

Chen Mu was overjoyed, and went to ask the Sogdian craftsman, and the girl was the translator.

The Sogdian craftsman said: "We don't know what you're going to do, and we think you're like the general, trying to bring down the gate tower and rebuild it, otherwise we wouldn't have done it." ”

Obviously, the Sogdian craftsmen had emotions about their allegiance to the Dian, and Chen Muxin said: It's so dangerous, it almost affects himself.

If it was just to build an arched bridge, Chen Mu was right. But if so many stones have to be placed on it, and finally a gatehouse has to be built, then the arch will not be able to bear it, and it will inevitably collapse.

It's not that the stones can't be carried, but the foundations on both sides can't be carried. The reason why the last time the allegiance was able to collapse the gate tower was that too much stone was used, but not much wood and earth.

Chen Mu laughed ashamedly and gave the task to the Sogdian craftsmen.

A thousand men worked day and night, and the north gate was completed eight days later. - The stone used in the previous one is still used, otherwise it would not have been completed in this time.

Chen Mu stood below and watched, feeling that this city gate hole was simply too strong, and he was very relieved to walk below.

"Where's the allegiance? Why haven't I seen him in a day? ”

Chen Mu looked for allegiance everywhere.

At this time, Li Xiu came over with a smile: "Brother Chen Muxian, don't make trouble, you are loyal to you." He said, you can't let him call you dad in front of everyone at such an age, it's really hard to get by on face. No, let me be a peacemaker and invite you to drink. Brothers, drink freely, and the unpleasantness of the past will be written off. ”

Chen Mu smiled and agreed.
