Of course, Liu Bei knew that he was a little unreasonable, but there was no way, Yuan Shao actually died at this juncture, who could stop Cao Cao in the north?

If Cao Cao unifies the north and goes south to Jingzhou, how can he resist?

Of course, Liu Bei was unwilling to be a dog and a guard dog for Liu Biao. But now there is no choice but to live in Xinye, if Cao Cao goes south to Jingzhou, Xinye will bear the brunt.

If there is no tall and sturdy city wall, how can the army and civilians who are united in their hearts resist Cao Cao?

A sense of urgency, a sense of urgency.

makes Liu Bei a little uneasy, of course, it is a higher city wall and more granaries to make him feel at ease.

This is very normal, Liu Bei is also a human being. Although being able to stand up quickly after defeat, this is Liu Bei's advantage.

But there are many battles to lose, and there is also a weak heart.

"Understood." Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei, who was a little restless, understood the mood of the lord, let out a rare sigh, and replied.

Liu Bei nodded, then remembered something, and asked, "That's right." This new wild terrain won't be flooded, right? I remember that when I was in Xuzhou, Cao Mengde flooded Picheng, and then captured Lu Bu. ”

"Rest assured, Xinye is very high, although it is not far from the water, but even if the water is dug up, it is difficult to fill it into the city. If Cao Cao wanted to deal with the lord in the same way as Lu Bu, it would be impossible. ”

Really taking into account Liu Bei's mood, Jian Yong was very patient and relieved.

"I'm relieved." Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.

This is the sense of security that comes from a tall and sturdy city, and a city that will not be flooded.

When Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, when Lu Bu was so miserable, Cao Cao did not defeat Xiapi, because of the role of the Xiapi city wall.

In the end, Cao Cao still used a strategy to dig up the river and irrigate Xiapi, so that the city wall of Xiapi collapsed, which was successful.

If Liu Bei gathered two or three hundred thousand people, two or three hundred thousand elite soldiers, and gathered more equipment, money, and food to garrison Xinye Xiongcheng before Cao Cao came, Cao Cao's 100,000 army would fight for it, and Liu Bei would also be confident that it could support it for one or two years, or even two or three years.

As for Mi Zhu, he only stayed by the side and didn't say a word, in fact, he couldn't interject, he didn't know how to build the city wall, and he couldn't come up with any plans.

It's July, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Guan Ping finally couldn't stay still, and secretly took Ding Feng and Ding Feng brothers, and sneaked out of the barracks on horseback, planning to lurk back to Xinye to live for a while.

Before he got home, he was first targeted by Zhang Laosan, a thief, and was caught.

"Ping'er, what are you doing when you come back to Xinye?" Zhang Laosan grabbed Guan Ping's back collar as if he was carrying a little chicken.

Guan Ping was very depressed, this weight of more than 100 catties was the same as a chick for Zhang Laosan.

Guan Ping turned his head, gave Zhang Laosan a smile, and said: "Third uncle, everything is in order in the barracks, the soldiers are diligent in their training, and they have nothing to do. ”

Zhang Laosan is not a stupid fork, he knows Guan Ping's scenery and deeds, and in front of everyone's eyes, he claims to be the second ancestor.

The eldest brother, the second brother grasped it tightly, and then he went to the barracks.

At this time, he must be back to be lazy, not some bullshit and a little filial piety.

"It's good to be filial." Zhang Laosan smiled, and then said, "Is the third uncle an uncle?" ”

"Of course." Guan Ping nodded in a hurry.

"Let's move the soil like the third uncle, it's also filial piety." Zhang Laosan put down Guan Ping, took off the bamboo basket behind him, and handed it to Guan Pingdao.

Guan Ping wanted to cry without tears, this was just out of the wolf's den and into the bandit cave again. Zhang Laosan, who killed a thousand knives, didn't I just tease you, is it necessary to remember such a big hatred?

Besides, I'm doing it for you, too.

So Guan Ping, Ding Feng, and Ding Feng, who had just left the barracks and planned to go back to Xinye for leisure, were arrested by Zhang Laosan as child laborers, moving soil, ramming earth, and building city walls.

As the name suggests, the so-called rammed earth is to constantly use stone tools to beat the soil and tamp the soil.

The new Xinye city wall is three zhang high, one zhang thick, first with carpentry with wooden planks to build a mold, the interior is made of wood as a wall bone, with good soil, plus brown sugar, rice milk, mixed in a certain proportion, and then rammed earth.

Layer by layer, section by section.

A good earthen wall is stronger than a brick wall. In the Han and Tang dynasties, whether it was a city wall or a house, the court was this kind of structure.

For example, the Zuo General's Mansion in Xinye City and the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion are all such structures.

But building a city wall is not the same as building a house, at present, Liu Bei has mobilized all the soldiers, recruited men and women in the city, a total of tens of thousands of people, repaired the Xinye city wall, and it will take three or five months to build the city wall at the earliest.

In addition to the walls, the roads in the city were to be tamped and drained, and the houses were to be built by the people themselves.

All in all, it's a big project.

Guan Ping first carried the soil, but because he was lazy, he was rammed by Zhang Laosan, holding the round stone, and kept smashing the ground.

At the end of the day, my back hurts, and I want to cry without tears.

After getting off work in the evening, Zhang Fei brought the three of them into the tent to eat together. The food is very good, there are enough meat pipes, and seasonal vegetables.

Guan Ping, Ding Feng, and Ding Feng's three bellies had already screamed, swallowing and chewing, and eating three bowls of rice and a lot of meat.

After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Guan Ping immediately clasped his fists and said, "Third uncle, I still have to rush to see my mother, so I'll leave." ”

Zhang Laosan didn't speak, just opened his eyes and sneered. Guan Ping was immediately stunned, knowing that he was afraid that he would have to work as a child laborer for Zhang Laosan for a period of time, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of going home again.

Otherwise, fried pork slices with bamboo shoots are not bragging.

"By the way, I'll show you something good." Zhang Laosan saw that Guan Ping was honest, showed a satisfied look, then patted his knee, bent down and groped around the case, took out a piece of silk, and beckoned Guan Ping to take it himself. Guan Ping could only get up and take the silk and look at it, raising his eyebrows, "This is the structural diagram of the new city wall." ”

"Ten miles from east to west, eight miles from north to south, there is Weng City, moat, this is a male city." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

"At present, the eldest brother Ling I, the second brother, Xingba, and Wenchang each lead 2,000 people, plus tens of thousands of men and women in the city to build city walls, roads, and dig moats."

Zhang Fei said with a smile, the sense of satisfaction was super strong.

Thinking about this difficult brother, the three of them fled from place to place, but they didn't have their own kennels. This Xinye City is so well cast, so tall, Zhang Laosan should be his own home.

When my eldest brother's strength grew, I instigated my eldest brother to attack Fancheng in the south, enter Xiangyang, and occupy Liu Biao's territory.

Zhang Laosan, Zhang Mengwu is very enterprising about grabbing land, but it coincides with Guan Ping's thoughts.

Guan Ping nodded, once this Xinye New Town is repaired, it can stop Cao's army from going south here. Before Liu Biao died of illness and Cao Cao went south, he prepared to break through Fancheng and enter Xiangyang, and then organized generals to block Cao's army in Xinye and Fancheng.

Beibei relied on the help of prestige, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others to quickly stabilize Jingzhou. This is all Jingzhou's strategy.

In the future, I will prepare to enter Bashu, my father will sit in Jingzhou, and I will be the prince of Jingzhou.

Ha ha.

Guan Ping was very satisfied with his plan, but then Guan Ping noticed a problem, put down the design drawing, and asked, "Gan Xingba and Uncle Wei have 2,000 soldiers and horses?" ”

Wei Wenchang was promoted to lieutenant and left Uncle Chen to stand on his own. The eldest brother also made up 2,000 soldiers and horses for Gan Xingba. Now we, the leading generals, each have 2,000 soldiers and horses, except for Zilong. Combined with the 1,200 men you have led, the total number of soldiers and horses is now about 12,000. ”

Zhang Fei nodded, quite excited.

At present, there are 100,000 people inside and outside Xinye City, and it turns out that Liu Bei's 3,000 soldiers and horses were brought back from Runan, according to the ratio of 1 out of ten.

It is also normal to expand the army to twelve thousand people.

In the troubled times, there is a gun to be the king of grass, and I am afraid that Liu Bei pays more attention to this than Guan Ping, and it is more profound.

Guan Ping said some words to Zhang Fei, and then hurriedly went down to wash up and sleep. After a day of child labor, I couldn't stand it.

Zhang Laosan, a bastard, detained Guan Ping for half a month. Half a month later, Guan Ping got out of the sea of suffering and returned to his mansion.

Father Guan Yu is the same as Zhang Laosan, eating and living in the camp, and repairing the city wall all day long, so in the Hanshou Pavilion Hou Mansion, it is still the same, only Liu and Guan Xing.

Guan Ping is in the barracks, but he rarely basks in the sun, even if he practices martial arts, he asks people to pull up the tarpaulin and hide in the shadows to practice martial arts.

So Guan Ping had been very white before this, and after being dragged by Zhang Laosan to work as a child laborer, he was as tanned as a monkey, pitch black, but he was much more capable.

After Guan Ping returned home, Liu was really shocked when he saw it, and thought that Guan Ping was very distressed by the hard work of leading the troops, so he asked the kitchen to make more delicious food for Guan Ping.

So after Guan Ping lived at home for a month, he had a lot of fat on his body. When he was in the barracks, Guan Ping's life was very monotonous.

It's just to practice martial arts and learn Sun Tzu's Art of War.

When you're at home, it's a lot of fun. Martial arts training is to practice martial arts, and Sun Tzu doesn't need to learn the art of war, because Sun Qian is not there, no one will supervise him.

When I was in good spirits, I took Ding Feng and Ding Feng brothers to hunt, fish, or go out shopping, and occasionally saw a beautiful little daughter-in-law, and the girl took a few more looks, nourished her eyes, and lived a more leisurely life.

Because Guan Ping showed his face in Xinye a lot, everyone knew that this product didn't go to work again, so he went home to steal.

But no one said anything, because Guan Ping is a group pet. Even if Liu Bei didn't say anything, Liu Bei had a way.

I know this way of civil and martial arts, one by one, otherwise it will collapse too tightly, and I am afraid that the string will break.

This eldest nephew wants to be a second ancestor, relying on the thin face of the elders, forcing him to take office is already the limit, if he is forced too tightly, I am afraid it will backfire.

Moreover, this eldest nephew has a good way of governing the army, and his majesty is not good, even if he is not in the barracks, he will not be in the military discipline, and the soldiers will be slack.

It doesn't hurt to let him wander around Xinye for a few months.

This is the same reason that if you want a horse to run, you need to give it grass to eat.

Since Guan Ping has shown his head, he needs to be caught by Liu Bei, unless Liu Bei dies, it will be the life of a part-time worker.

After Guan Ping came back, Mrs. Zhang's Xiahou sent someone to invite him to dinner, and asked Zhang Bao how he was by the way.

Zhang Bao, a stinky boy, didn't dare to learn Guan Ping, so he skipped work and came back to steal. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be beaten by my father Zhang Fei, and I am currently working hard to train soldiers.

Guan Ping picked up some daily life and told Xiahou about it.

Today, Mi Zhu sent someone to invite Guan Ping over for lunch. Of course, Guan Ping happily went, Mi's house was nearby, and he didn't have to take someone to ride a horse, just a few steps away.

Mi Zhu is engaged in General Zuo and is the best-treated civilian official in Xinye. At this moment, he went out to greet him, and said to Guan Ping with a smile: "Guan Sima." ”

Mi Zhu is different from Jian Yong and Sun Qian, the latter two are Guan Ping's teachers, and the teacher treats students a lot more casually.

Call Guan Ping.

Mi Zhu is different, the relationship between Mi Zhu and Guan Yu is average, in fact, the relationship between most civil officials and Guan Yu is average.

Mi Zhu is not Guan Ping's teacher, and his son is still a Dubo under Guan Ping, so he naturally has to use his official title to call Guan Sima.

"Sir is polite, call me Guan Ping." This is Mi Zhu is very polite, but Guan Ping will not kick his nose in the face, and he also bows down and says politely.

After shirking one or two, Mi Zhu called Guan Ping again.

After that, Mi Zhu invited Guan Ping to enter the small hall of the house for dinner, the dishes were good, chicken, duck and fish, and the wine was Mi's wine. Mi Zhu sat on the main seat and placed Guan flat in the guest seat.

Beside the two, there are two beautiful maids serving.

Guan Ping was eating wine while talking to Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu is a good talker and has a good character, so it is naturally very comfortable to talk to him.

Said from all over the world.

Guan Ping quickly noticed a problem, he looked at the beautiful maid beside him and said, "This woman doesn't seem to be Han?" ”

This beautiful woman is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is very delicate and beautiful. In Guan Ping's previous life, he was only at the age of junior high school, but in the Han Dynasty, he was a slave and maid.

The people are very delicate, but their complexion is dark, their hands are a little rough, and their appearance is slightly different from that of the Han people.

"Guan Ping, your eyes are good, this is a Shanyue girl." Mi Zhu said with a smile.

The beautiful maid was a little timid and lowered her head.

"Where did the Yamagoe girl come from?" Guan Ping was surprised by this.

"During this time, the lord bought many servants, slaves and maids, which caused the price to rise a lot. There are still merchants in Bashu and Jiangdong who carry slaves and maids, but Jingzhou can't buy much anymore. Some merchants brought the Shanyue people, the Qiang people, and the barbarians. Among them, the strong ones are all filled into the army. The old and weak remained in the city and were treated as ordinary people. I also bought some teenage girls and raised them at home. Mi Zhu explained, and then said: "This woman is gentle, and it is good to be a beautiful maid." ”

"Qingluo, don't you want to see Gongzi?" Immediately, Mi Zhu said to the Shanyue girl.

"Childe." Qingluo, a girl from Shanyue, copied a very unfluent sinicization and kowtowed to Guan Ping.

Guan Ping was excited in his heart, do I finally have a maidservant? If the second ancestor does not have a maidservant, then what kind of second ancestor is it? But after the excitement, Guan Ping was deflated.

If you bring this girl back, I'm afraid she will be beaten by the board.

Guan Ping then said: "Mr. misunderstood, I just asked casually." ”

Mi Zhu smiled when he heard this, and he didn't say anything. Naturally, no one cares about her.

"Father." At this moment, a little girl poked her little head out from behind the door, looked at Mi Zhu and called.

This girl is about eight or nine years old, with a delicate appearance, white skin and beautiful appearance with a little baby fat, and the clothes and skirts on her body are made of Shu brocade, beautiful and atmospheric.
