Chapter 167: I went to Beijing to find the emperor

……………………………………

The cement bricks used by Liu Zi for experiments are all made in the house, and he feels that this thing is taught by Liu Hanshao, which is extremely expensive, as if he is afraid of falling ashes, and covers it with something, which inadvertently prolongs the cement hardening time, so the quality is guaranteed. But when building roads, there was no such set at all, and Cao Ang was proud that the road he built was fast and could step on it as soon as possible. I have to say that if you have to find someone to take responsibility, these can only be blamed on Liu Hanshao.

Thinking about the road construction strategy again, Cao Ang also raised some questions based on his own experience. Now this Bali main road is in Luoyang City, which can be said to be the center of the entire Han Dynasty, with sufficient materials and more personnel. If it is really as Liu Hanshao described, it is really difficult for the entire Han Dynasty to slowly build such a road. If nothing else, the mobilization of materials is unbearable, and stones, sand, cement, and the food and drink of personnel are all huge problems. For example, in which water-scarce area to build a road, how to solve the water problem, is it a truckload to the construction site to transport water?

Liu Hanshao also thinks about it himself, especially the packaging, transportation, and storage of cement, as if none of them are easy to solve. In later generations, cement could be packed in kraft paper bags or plastic woven bags, but where should it be now? Crock...... Cao Ang is afraid that there will be no water, but when transporting, what should he do if it really rains?

Liu Hanshao had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly said with a smile: "Brothers, what if we change the cement road to a cement brick road?" ”

The cement bricks made by Liu Zi are one foot thick, two feet wide, and three feet long, and such a large piece of stone lumps can only be lifted by at least two people. If you use it to pave the road, just tamp the pavement, repair it flat, and then put the cement bricks on it. Maybe there will be brick joints on the road, which are not as smooth as the whole cement pavement, so what does it matter? Anyway, there is no high-speed transportation like a car now, and horse-drawn carriages run on it, which is not a little better than potholed dirt roads.

Cao Ang also remembered whether he ate or not, and he didn't care about the pain all over his body, so he immediately asked for his life and said: "Xiaochen is going to planing Jinshi South Road and preparing to lay cement bricks." ”

Liu Hanshao hurriedly stopped and said: "Forget it, that section of the road is not unusable, go back and ask people to pour some cement slurry into the cracks and make up for it, when it is really bad and it can't be used, it's not too late to rebuild it." Let's first build a sand and gravel factory next to the cement factory, and as soon as the cement comes out, it will be made into cement bricks immediately. You lead someone to smooth the road from Yongmen to Shanglin Yuan first, and then let's lay cement bricks to see if we can succeed this time. ”

"Yes! Xiao Chen will go. ”

"What's the hurry, look at your mud and sweat, go home and rest first, and let your old man invite you to a big drink. Just say I said it, I have to please! ”

…………

It is said that Wen Ping waited until Zhang Xiu and Song Guo came to Hanoi to join him, and then led the army to Jizhou along the line of Xiuwu and Huojia.

When the front army came to report that someone had robbed the road and blocked the way, Wen Ping was stunned. The world is indeed unstable, but my army is tens of thousands, and some people dare to rob the Tao?

At this time, Zhang Xiu's brigade was divided into three armies: front, left, and right, with each regiment guarding one side, and Song Guo's regiment being the rear army. Zhang Xiu personally opened the way in the former army, and he can also send people to the Chinese army to report to Wenpin, what does it mean?

It shows that it is not how well-behaved Zhang Xiu is, but that he has encountered hard stubble!

Wen Ping still has some understanding of Zhang Xiu's methods, and the person who can make the second brother look at it is definitely not a coward. Therefore, Major General Liu Han assigned Zhang Xiu to the Fourth Division, and Wen Ping was full of joy, just like when he was a child, he fought with Zhao Yun for the king, and felt that this was the eldest brother favoring him and taking advantage of the second brother.

Immediately ordered the Chinese army to be on alert, ordered the left and right armies to outflank forward from both flanks, and then Wen Ping patted his horse and rushed to the front army with the guard battalion. But when I arrived at the front army, I found that there was no war here, or that there was no scuffle yet, but Zhang Xiu was fighting with people.

There were only a few hundred people on the other side, some of them still had clothes to wear, and some were even shirtless. If it is because of the hot weather, they are shirtless, but what does it mean that the pants are also torn and leaky, and the crotch is open?

Seeing this, Wen Ping relaxed a little and turned his attention to the situation in the formation. The man with Zhang Xiudou was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, armed with a three-pronged iron spear, and it was difficult to determine his size on a horse, but judging from his upper body alone, he looked burly and powerful enough. The guns were forked and crossed, the horses were circling, and the man's mouth was full of shouting, but Zhang Xiu was silent.

Don't look at the only a few hundred people on the other side, because the main general is brave, they are also in high spirits, and they can't stop shouting and cheering for the main general. On the other hand, the brothers of the former army, one by one, looked grim, and when they saw Wen Ping coming, they immediately looked at him with fiery eyes, and waited for him to give an order, so that they could let their people rush up and slaughter the guys who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the opposite.

Wen Ping looked at it for a while, and he already understood the reason, not because Zhang Xiu's skills were low, but because of the weapon. The one who makes the fork on the opposite side has wide and long teeth, no matter how Zhang Xiu stabs, picks, teases, and sweeps, he can easily block it, but when he attacks, it is wide open, and the three-pronged iron spear in his hand can be used as a spear when it is pierced, and it can be used as a long knife when it is chopped, and it can be used as an axe when it is smashed.

It's not that the three-pronged iron spear is amazing, if the two of them have a disparity in strength, the fork can't restrain the gun at all, but the force of this person in front of him is obviously not inferior to Zhang Xiu, and even faintly higher, so Zhang Xiu is restrained everywhere.

The brothers of the front army did not wait for the order to charge, but when they saw Wen Ping knocking on the belly of the horse, they also urged the horse to rush to the middle of the formation. When he got closer, Wen Ping shouted: "Stop! Then he shot and picked the two apart.

The man turned his horse back, stood far away, stretched out a three-pronged iron spear and pointed at Wen Ping and Zhang Xiu and scolded: "Good thief, do you want to bully more and less?" ”

The gang behind him immediately followed suit and shouted and cursed.

"Phew, phew, shameless!"

"More bullying less is not a hero's doing!"

"Have the ability to do one-on-one, see if grandpa doesn't kill you!"

Zhang Xiu didn't mention the fire in his heart, he used to be considered to be in the west, and he had never encountered something that he couldn't clean up. Although he met Zhao Yun later, he was his brother, he didn't care if he won or lost, and he didn't have to fight for his life. After joining the Han Zhengjun, he wanted to make meritorious contributions, because His Majesty said that Hu Che'er could be the division commander, and if he fell behind him, he would lose face. Therefore, Zhang Xiu was very eager to send troops to Jizhou, and personally led the front army, who would have thought that he would meet such a stunned man with a dung fork as soon as he came up.

"Phew! You're the thief, your whole family is a thief! ”

A brigade commander was actually scolded by people in front of the battle...... Wen Ping glared at Zhang Xiu, clasped his fists and said, "I don't know what is the matter with your noble surname and blocking our army?" ”

"This, this ......"

The man raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said, "My surname is Wen, and if you beat my father, you will call me a ugly." We are going to Beijing to find the emperor, and we have run out of food halfway through, so we don't meet you and want to borrow some food. Not only did the boy not give it, but he didn't say that we were thieves. ”

Zhang Xiu still said angrily: "Blocking the road and robbing the road, what is it that is not a thief?" Your father is honest and honest, and he didn't give you the wrong name! ”

As a general, will you only quarrel with children? This guy has a point, they're going to find the Emperor!

"Shut up!"

Wen Ping stopped Zhang Xiu, glared at Wen Chou again, and asked coldly: "Why do you want to go to His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Wen Chou said impatiently: "Oh, didn't the emperor issue a recruitment order, saying that regardless of the noble and the low, the old and the young, recruit the world's talents and serve the country, so we want to try." ”

Zhang Xiu muttered in a low voice: "What kind of virtuous man are you?" ”

was heard by Wen Chou, and immediately replied: "I know how to fight, what's the matter, try again if you don't accept it!" ”

Zhang Xiugang wanted to be angry, but suddenly felt Wen Ping's cold gaze, and immediately wilted and swallowed his anger.

At this time, Wen Ping has already given birth to the heart of recruiting Wen Chou, and his own division is not yet satisfied with the editor, if he can have a good hand like Wen Chou to help, Jizhou's affairs will be more certain. However, Wen Chou is obviously a rough man, he only recognizes the size of his fist, not the level of his official position, if he can't be subdued, he is rashly placed in the army, but he is afraid that he will not be able to help, but will add chaos.

"That's it, let's fight too, if Brother Wenchou can win against me, I will send you food and money, and let you go to Jingshi. If I win, you and your brothers will have to listen to me, how about it? ”

Stared at Wen Ping, it's not as big as the one just now, dare to fight me? Wen Chou asked suspiciously: "Can you count when you speak?" Seeing Wen Ping nodded, he said again: "Well, your little brother is quite listening." Don't worry, I won't beat you to death, I will borrow your money and food, and when I become a big official in the future, I will definitely pay you back. ”

Dare to love this thing didn't take himself seriously at all. Wen Ping smiled dumbly and said, "In this way, I will thank Brother Wen Chou first, and my subordinates will be merciful." ”

Wen Chouchao didn't care and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, let's start fighting quickly." ”

Wen Ping stopped talking nonsense, first ordered Zhang Xiu to return to the formation, flashed the iron gun, and said to Wen Chou: "Please!" ”

"I'm here, be careful!"

After speaking, Wen Chou urged the horse and rushed to Wen Ping to kill.

Didn't you say that Wenpin was calm, how could he go into battle in person as the head of a division?

First, Wen Ping was happy to see the talent, and wanted to subdue Wen Chou with his own hands, thinking that he was using it for his own use, and secondly, Wen Chou and Zhang Xiu had already fought a big battle, even if Wen Chou himself was not tired, the little donkey he rode did not have much strength. The most important thing is that Wen Ping just used kind words to remove a lot of Wen Chou's hostile fighting spirit, and this competition has changed from "fighting" to "fighting". In this way, if you still want to lose to him, it can only show that you have no ability, so it is better to simply give him money and food, and let him go to Jingshi to find his eldest brother to be trained well. Maybe Lu Shi and Gao Shun will let him understand what a real soldier is.

Don't think that people who don't talk much are honest pimples, this is not called a chicken thief, it is called resourcefulness.

Seeing Wen Chou coming on horseback, swinging his spear and stabbing it, it seems that he has no merciless meaning. Wen Ping picked up the iron spear, and a dazzling silver light swept through the sunlight, and the last hair came first, just in the middle of the three-pronged iron spear......
