Chapter 27: High Suspicion
Thousands of Han soldiers are busy here, busy poking stones, carrying wooden planks, building brackets and other work, and have been busy here for more than half a month.
On this day, Deng Yulong appeared here, as a general, he came to work in person, on the surface to encourage the soldiers, cheer up the soldiers, and let the soldiers see the general with them through joys and sorrows; At the same time, it is for the outside world to see, so that the spies lurking in the Han can know and report to the master behind it.
Deng Yulong had never done this kind of work on a construction site in his previous life, and since he had to do it like a little bit, he had to be a construction worker again, he personally carried wooden planks, pushed wooden carts, and participated in labor.
"Brothers, repairing the plank road is the top priority of our Han army, and if it is completed one day earlier, we can fight back one day earlier and reunite with our relatives. By then, you will all be heroes. ”
The soldiers of the Han army applauded.
Fan Hao and Lu Juan always looked at Deng Yulong coldly, as long as Deng Yulong didn't ask them, they would never take the initiative to speak, in private, the two often chattered and said something to complain about Deng Yulong.
In ancient times, the technical conditions were poor, and it was very dangerous to dig holes in the cliffs and drive piles and build plank roads for people to walk. Deng Yulong asked for as much safety as possible, but occasionally people accidentally fell off the cliff. In ancient times, plank roads were built, and these things could not be completely avoided.
Deng Yulong worked here for three days before going back.

In the blink of an eye, it's July.
During this month, two major events took place in the world.
The first is that Tian Rong rebelled and established himself as king; The second thing is that Xiang Yu killed Han Cheng, who was named the king of Han by him, in Pengcheng.
On this day in late July, Xiang Yu gathered his generals and prepared to go to Qidi to defeat Tian Rong.
Fan Zeng said: "King Xiang, even if Tian Rong is in turmoil, it will not be able to become a climate after all, and it can be pacified by sending a general to conquer." Liu Bang is a confidant, and he also wants to build a plank road to send troops to Guanzhong, and compete with you for the world, as a king, you should sit in Pengcheng, so as to understand the situation in the world at any time, and send troops to Guanzhong at any time. ”
Xiang Yu said viciously: "Tian Rong, this bastard, dares to challenge my authority, I must break him into pieces." Even if Liu Bang dares to oppose me, how can the plank road be repaired so quickly, I will lead the troops to clean up Tian Rong first, and then go back to settle accounts with Liu Bang. ”
No matter how Fan Zeng advised, Xiang Yu just didn't listen, he ordered to go down, let the army get ready, and set off in three days.
At night, in the bedroom, Yu Ji was accompanying Xiang Yu.
Yu Ji said: "Xiang Lang, you haven't been back to Pengcheng for a few months, and you're going to go on an expedition again." Listening to Yafu, in fact, you only need to send one general, such as Long Ji, Ji Bu, and Yingbu, to clean up Tian Rong. ”
In fact, after the meeting, Fan Zeng came to Yu Ji and asked Yu Ji to do some ideological work on Xiang Yu.
As soon as Tian Rong was mentioned, Xiang Yu showed anger again and said, "Hmph! Your man is the overlord of the world, and all the princes must be divided by me, and I will slaughter anyone who disobeys me. Tian Rong was the first to jump out and set himself up as the king, I want to catch him with my own hands, divide his five horses, and let others see, this is the fate of those who disobey me. ”
It was a very emotional decision, and no one could stop him. Xiang Yu has been very emotional since he was a child, and this time it was the same.
Xiang Yu's big hand stroked Yu Ji's face, and said gently: "Miao Yi, I will go out to conquer Qidi, and I will soon be able to clean up Tian Rong and come back to accompany you." ”
Yu Ji's surname is Yu, and Miao Yi is her name.
Yu Ji looked at the tall and mighty man, his eyes were full of affection, and said, "Xiang Lang, I wish you a triumphant return as soon as possible." ”

Chencang Road, an ancient road connecting Hanzhong and Guanzhong, was named during the Warring States Period because the road was thorny and difficult, and it had never been valued as an important passage before this time and space. Since the construction of plank roads on the slope and meridian road, this road has almost no one has used it anymore, and it has been inaccessible for decades.
In the south of Chencang Road, there is a team of men and horses lurking here, this is a Han army team sent by Deng Yulong a month ago, he highly suspects that the spies lurking in Hanzhong passed the news through the customs of Chencang Road, and specially sent a team to lurk here to see if there is any gain.
Here, it is a barren mountain range, uninhabited, full of bushes, bushes, in the original Chencang Road, the road has been overgrown with weeds and trees, covered with thorns.
On this day in late September, the team continued to hide in the jungle for a month, and some of the soldiers were impatient.
A soldier said, "Wait, what are the generals doing when we let us stay here?" ”
Another soldier said: "I'm bored here every day, so I might as well go back to training." ”
Jun Hou said: "The general sent us, naturally he has his reasons. ”
For a month, the soldiers could only pass the time by chatting.
"Look, someone's coming!"
The soldier and a few soldiers looked to the southeast, and saw a pockmarked man leading a horse walking towards this side, because it was full of thorns, so he had to lead the horse on foot.
It didn't seem like this was the first time the man had been here, he had found signs of his previous journey, and walked through the thorn bushes.
Suddenly, in the bushes on the side, a group of people in Han military uniforms rushed out, ran towards him as fast as they could, and quickly surrounded him. The pock-faced man was suddenly shocked.
The military hou shouted: "You sneakily came to the barren mountains and mountains alone, and you are definitely not a good bird. ”
The pock-faced man quickly calmed down from his surprise and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Han Law didn't allow the people to enter the mountain, right?" ”
The soldier shouted: "The general has an order, and all those who come here will be arrested." Come on, tie him up for me! ”
Four soldiers rushed forward, one of them holding a rope and tying it tightly.
This pockmarked man is one of the spies sent by Zhang Han to Hanzhong, who wants to go out of Guanzhong from Chen Cangdao to pass information to Zhang Han.
As an intelligence officer, he has good psychological quality, is good at observing words and feelings, and is good at dealing with all kinds of personnel.
He didn't show a flustered look, and said in a questioning tone: "I said military master, I didn't violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, why did you arrest me?" ”
Xiucai met the soldiers, and he couldn't explain it clearly, these soldiers only knew how to obey military orders, and they were too lazy to talk nonsense with him, no matter how the pock-faced man shouted, they ignored it and escorted him directly to Deng Yulong's side.
After Deng Yulong learned that it had an effect, he was very excited and immediately interrogated him alone, the pock-faced man refused to admit it at first, but who Deng Yulong was, it didn't take long for him to confess obediently.
Deng Yulong immediately sent people to Nanzheng and invited Liu Bang and Xiao He to visit the military training tomorrow to test the results of the military training in the past few months.
