However, it was said that Liu Renyu and his subordinates stopped arguing with the officials, so they put on their armor and marched solemnly.

When the army walked 5 miles, he saw a large military camp in front of him, located on the side of a city with only the foundation of the wall, at this time, someone in the military camp saw that a large army was coming, and an officer dressed as a military general walked out of the camp, looked at Liu Renyu who was the head and asked: "But the western army is coming?" ”

"Exactly, Liu Renyu was a guerrilla in Xiayan Suijun Town, and he came here to build Dalinghe Fort on the order of the Ministry of War." Liu Renyu replied.

"It turned out to be General Liu, fortunately, fortunately. Dare to ask General Liu, why do you only see soldiers and not city builders, where are the city builders? The military attache looked at Liu Renyu's team and wondered.

"The soldiers of our army are not only soldiers, but also craftsmen who build cities." Liu Renyu replied with a smile.

"Oh," the military attache suddenly realized, and then said to Liu Renyu: "Marshal Zu said, if the Western Army arrives, please ask the commander of the army to come and see him, and General Liu will enter the camp to see Marshal Zu." ”

"Okay, okay, this big brother, the last general wants to set up another camp and use it as horns with my camp, so my army will not enter the camp first." Liu Renyu said.

"I can't do anything about this, and I have to ask the quasi-marshal." The military attache replied with a smile.

"The last general will go and ask for his life." Liu Renyu replied with a smile, and then said to He Yaozong beside him: "Go and inform all the Qianzong, let them set up a camp near the left of the camp, and I will come when I go." ”

"Yes, General." He Yaozong got the order, so he went to pass the order.

Liu Renyu thought that this was the camp of the Chinese army, and he had never had a holiday with Zu Dashou, and there was no danger, so he went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army under the leadership of the military attaché.

Along the way, Liu Renyu looked east and west, and found that in the big camp, in addition to the soldiers, there were also many people, and even some merchants sold utensils, and there were many transactions with the soldiers and civilians in the big tent, which was quite lively.

"General Liu, this is the big tent of the Chinese army, Marshal Zu and Deputy Marshal He are all in it." The military attache walked with Liu Renyu for a while, then stopped and pointed to the largest tent in the barracks.

"I'm sorry for you." Liu Renyu thanked the military attache who led the way, then took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance of the big tent.

Outside the big tent, the personal soldiers who had their own ancestor Dashou stopped Liu Renyu and asked for his name, origin, and what was the matter here.

Liu Renyu answered one by one, and when the soldiers got the message, they went in to report the news, and saw if Zu Dashou saw it.

Not long after the pro-soldier entered, he turned around and came out, and said to Liu Renyu: "General Liu, the marshal is invited." ”

"Hey, I see." Liu Renyu agreed, then lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.

When he entered the tent, he saw a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body, a somewhat kind face, dressed as a military general, sitting on the chair of the Taishi who was facing him.

In front of the middle-aged man's right, there is also a Taishi chair, on which sits a middle-aged man with thin cheeks and a somewhat majestic face, who is also dressed as a military general.

On both sides of the camp, there were more than a dozen men dressed as military generals sitting on small horses.

At this time, everyone in this big tent focused on Liu Renyu, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they found out that the general of the Western Army sent by the imperial court was so young.

And Liu Renyu looked at the situation in front of him, and roughly guessed that the kind-looking, slightly chubby middle-aged man was Zu Dashou, and the one sitting next to Zu Dashou should be He Kegang, and the rest naturally didn't know any of them.

After he stopped thinking in his heart, he clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down to Zu Dashou and He Kegang and said: "The last general, Yan Suijun, attacked Liu Renyu in Jingbian Fort and met Zu Dashuai and Deputy Marshal He. ”

"No need to be polite." Zu Dashou waved his hand, not caring at all.

"No need to be polite." He Kegang waited for Zu Dashou to reply first, and then followed back the previous sentence.

"Thank you, Vice-Marshal." Liu Renyu thanked.

"This town thought that this time the Western Army would send a heavy army to the future, but I didn't expect it to be a young hero like General Liu, General Liu was so young, he got such a heavy responsibility, it's not simple, it's not simple." Zu Dashou bit the words of the young hero very hard.

Liu Renyu smiled slightly, and replied: "Huo Qubing was twenty-two years old when he was a wolf, and the last general is already twenty-five years old this year, and he has been fighting for many years, so he can be regarded as a veteran." ”

"Kid is funny, calling himself a veteran in front of the town, haha." Zu Dashou saw that Liu Renyu said politely and politely, and secretly praised it in his heart, and then said again: "General Liu is a guest from afar, and many of the generals in our army don't recognize it, this town introduces you to it, this is the deputy general Zhang Cunren........." ”

Zu Dashou pointed to the generals in the field and introduced them to Liu Renyu one by one.

Liu Renyu greeted them one by one.

After everyone exchanged names, Zu Dashou went straight to the point and said: "General Liu, we came here to Dalinghe Fort, all for the purpose of building the city, and the cabinet subordinates have an order, saying that the construction of the city is completely handled by you, and the town will ask you, how do you plan to build this city?" ”

"Dare to ask the marshal, can the court send a people's husband?" Liu Renyu asked.

"Naturally, there are, the imperial court sent 14,000 people to come here, and they are currently in the camp." Zu Dashou replied.

Then it will be easy to do, and I would like to ask them to dig a trench one zhang deep and one foot five feet wide outside the foundation of the old city as the foundation, and when the foundation is dug, the steel bars will be tied at the end, and the cement will be prepared, and the steel bars will be tied and poured into the cement. At present, the weather here is good, the temperature is high, and the final general thinks that it will only take 15 to 20 days for the Dalinghe Fort to be built. Liu Renyu talked eloquently, while the generals of the Liaodong Army were in an uproar.

"Reinforced concrete!? What came from? Does it work? ”

"How can you build a city without burning bricks and stones, or boiling rice milk?"

"It can be built in 15 to 20 days, let's laugh!"

"Huangkou child, I can't handle things well."

A group of Liaodong generals were all talking about each other.

"Silence." Zu Dashou whispered in a deep and deep baritone.

The whole tent was suddenly noticeable, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

"Reinforced concrete! It's fresh, but is it useful? You must know that building a city to defend against slaves is a military matter, not a child's play! Zu Dashou said to Liu Renyu expressionlessly.

"Dashuai has never seen cement, and he doesn't know the magic of cement. Previously, the imperial court sent the director of the Ministry of Industry and the director of the battalion department to inspect the territory of the last general, and saw with his own eyes that the city wall made of reinforced concrete was hit dozens of times by the projectiles of the Hongyi cannon and was still unharmed. Liu Renyu explained.

"Hehe, just based on your words, how do you know the truth or falsehood, think that the big turbans of the Ministry of Industry are afraid of the Liaodong Jedi, and refuse to come, dare not come, so they are talking nonsense, tricking you to come to Liaodong, as for the ministers, if they are bought, there is always a price, how do you know that your muddy city is unusable. When the time comes, you will run away after repairing the city, leaving us to defend here, if the city is not helpful, Jiannu will collapse as soon as it is slightly attacked, and it is not us who suffer. ”

A Liaodong military attache heard Liu Renyu mention the word cement, and said that Liu Renyu wanted to use mud to repair the city, so he raised a questioning opinion.

As soon as the military attache finished saying this, all the Liaodong generals nodded their heads.

When Zu Dashou saw his subordinates say such things, he didn't say anything special, he just stared at Liu Renyu without saying a word, and watched how Liu Renyu replied.

Liu Renyu was not annoyed when he heard these words, after all, these generals had not seen the wonderful use of reinforced concrete, and some doubts were inevitable, so he patiently explained: "The generals don't believe the words of the last general, the last general can understand, and when the city is completed, you can use the Hongyi cannon to try it, and the generals can know whether what the last general said is true or false?" And after the city is repaired, the last general will not bring people back to Shaanxi, and the last general is willing to lead troops to defend the city with all the generals, live and die together, advance and retreat together. ”

"Haha, who doesn't know that your Western Army is good at escaping, in the Battle of the Hunhe River, it was your Western Army that ran first. I can't say, at that time, as soon as Jiannu came, you ran away, leaving us to fight alone. A Liao army general sneered.

"Hehe, your western army can't even beat the thieves, forcing the imperial court to transfer troops from our Liaodong, if you meet Jiannu, won't you run faster than rabbits." Another Liaodong general chimed in.

"General, it is the border army on the Shanxi side that can't win the thieves, and General Cao Wenzhao Cao is the thieves on the Shanxi side. The thieves on the Shanxi side were surrendered by the Hongjun Gate and the last general, and they did not dare to rebel again until the last general left Shaanxi. When the last general returns, he can destroy them as well.

And, hehe, the last general is still a bit famous in the Western Army, when the last general was a small soldier in the past, he killed more than a dozen northern captives, and later when King Qin, he killed 9 elite members of Jiannu Bayala, and later 700 elite soldiers defeated the main force of 30,000 thieves, and then later killed more than 400 northern captives, and the combat power is still okay. Liu Renyu felt the need to show off his military exploits and let the generals of the Liaodong Army not underestimate him.

How do you know that a Liaodong army general immediately answered: "Hmph, Wen Zhao is in Shanxi, with 1,000 Guanning troops and 2,000 local soldiers, fighting more than 100,000 thieves alone, fighting even victories, and killing the giant thief King Jiayin, what is your little credit?"

In addition, you fought with hundreds of soldiers and 10 Jiannu formations, and more than half of your own casualties were killed, only 9 people were killed, and you also asked Jiannu to flee to one, what kind of ability is this, our Liao army, not to mention anything else, when recovering the four cities in Guannei, nearly 1,000 Jiannu people were killed, what is your comparison?

Also, the Mongols are not a powerful character for a long time, they are not enough in our eyes, four hundred northern captives, right, my army can be killed by going to the steppe. ”

"It's ........" Liu Renyu was refuted by this general, and was immediately speechless, speechless, he felt that what the other party said was so reasonable, and he was speechless, so he had to say: "If you can't fight, you have to start a war to know." However, now that Jiannu has not arrived, the last general cannot fight with Jiannu to prove that our army can fight, but the combat strength of the army is stronger than not, because the equipment is excellent and the training is good. The last general is bold, please all the generals, as well as the marshal and the deputy marshal, take a look outside the barracks, and see how our army is doing? ”

Zu Dashou didn't believe that Liu Renyu's said that the reinforced concrete city construction method was a reliable method, so he sat and watched his subordinates fight with Liu Renyu. ”

So, Zu Dashou led his generals and walked outside the barracks with Liu Renyu.

At this time, the Jingbian Fort Army was besieging the chariots around the city as a walled wall and forming a military camp, and then the soldiers and soldiers worked together to set up tents, dig trenches, and arrange horses to resist horses, meticulously.

Zu Dashou came out of the camp, and when he saw the camp set up by the Jingbianbao army, he couldn't help but be very surprised: "This is a chariot, your Western Army can actually equip a chariot?" ”

"It's true, this is really a chariot, but this chariot is very different from the Qi family's army! This is a four-wheeled vehicle, which is much larger than Qi Jiajun's side van. "A group of Liaodong generals all commented on Liu Renyu's chariot.

Liu Renyu saw the situation of the generals of the Liaodong Army, and with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he confessed to Zu Dashou and He Kegang, and then ran into his own camp, walked straight into his own military camp, and asked Li Jiye to quickly take a group of his subordinates to the open space in front of the camp to gather, and Zu Dashuai wanted to review the Jingbian Fort Army.

Then, he took a few glass mirrors for soldiers and a few pieces of soap, ran outside the camp, handed them over to a group of Liaodong generals, and let these people see the scenery of Jingbian Fort.

A group of Liaodong generals got the glass mirror, and when they saw it, they were all amazed, and felt that this thing was really rare and tight, and it was many times better than the bronze mirror of the Ming Dynasty.

After Liu Renyu explained the use of soap to them, a general called a guard on the spot, and asked the guard to take the dirty clothes, and washed the clothes with the river water slurry in the Daling River, and actually washed a gray dress into a white one.

It is said that the dress itself was a white dress, but after wearing it for a long time, it turned into a gray dress.

At this time, the generals of Liaodong became more and more surprised, and even asked where the glass mirror and soap came from, and they had such an effect?

Liu Renyu replied arrogantly: "These two things are all from the last general Jingbian Fort, both of which were learned by the last general in the past years when he was in Taixi, and even the cement is also the method that the last general learned in Taixi. ”

Zu Dashou and other Liaodong generals looked at the magical glass mirror and soap provided by Liu Renyu, and couldn't help but be a little convinced that the Laoshizi cement could indeed be used to build a city.
