Pengcheng was once designated as the capital by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, won the world, and this ancient city, which was once full of the dreams of the children of Jiangdong, was gradually forgotten.

After hundreds of years of wind and frost, the thick city wall still vaguely retains the grandeur of the past, but it has long been dilapidated.

When Cao Cao slaughtered the city, Pengcheng had a population of only tens of thousands.

Lu Bu migrated three or four hundred thousand people from Qingzhou and Mount Tai to come here, and the city that had been empty for a long time suddenly seemed crowded.

The army entered the city, and the streets were full of onlookers.

The Eastern Han Dynasty also knelt down and saluted from time to time, and the people did not kneel to greet Lu Bu, but just stretched their necks one by one, wanting to see what this world-famous Lu Wenhou looked like.

The young Lu Bu is burly and handsome, and his body is full of heroic hair.

The girls and young women on the side of the road saw him from afar, and their faces were flushed.

Women always say that they like beautiful men just out of appreciation.

However, seeing a heroic and elegant young general like Lu Bu, what woman didn't want to be pressed under him and arbitrarily dominate?

Since returning to the youth, Lu Bu has long been accustomed to this kind of look.

Not to mention the civilian women on the street, among the several peerless beauties in his back house, which one of them did not fall for him?

"Can the Pengcheng military camp garrison garrison 30,000 troops?" Walking along the street, Lu Bu asked Chen Gong.

"Since the establishment of the Gaozu Dynasty, there has been no military camp in Pengcheng." Chen Gong replied: "It is said that the overlord of Western Chu built a military camp here, which could garrison 100,000 troops. ”

"The Overlord of Western Chu is nearly four hundred years ago, and the military camp at that time is afraid that there are no traces of it." Lu Bu shook his head.

"Really." Chen Gong's answer surprised Lu Bu a lot.

The Western Chu military camp four hundred years ago still exists?

You must know that even after more than 2,000 years, many people are clamoring for the protection of cultural relics, and there are still many monuments that have been maliciously vandalized.

Some people even deliberately tamper with the contents of monuments in order to make profits, so that many ordinary people who do not know much about history mistakenly believe that everything after tampering is history that has happened.

In the era of advanced civilization, the Eastern Han Dynasty could still retain the military camp of the overlord of Western Chu for 400 years......

Lu Bu was really surprised.

"Wen Hou, do you want to go over and have a look?" Chen Gong asked.

"It's good to take a look." Lu Bu nodded.

30,000 Qingzhou troops and 2,000 soldiers of Zang Ba's department followed behind Lu Bu and others.

The site of the Western Chu military camp is in the northwest corner of Pengcheng.

Chen Gong personally led the way and came to a desolate ruin, he pointed to the ruins: "This is the military camp. ”

In front of me is a ruin that has long been impossible to discern what style of building it once was, and the only thing that can prove that it was once a military camp is the dilapidated Dianjiangtai.

Surrounded by ruins, Dianjiangtai looks so desolate, like an old man in his last years, telling people the stories he has experienced.

"It's all in ruins, and the people of Pengcheng in the past don't know how to clean it up." Lu Bu looked at the messy scene in front of him.

"Pengcheng people have inseparable feelings for Xiang Yu." Chen Gong said: "After 400 years, although no one dares to repair it, no one has cleaned it up. ”

Lu Bu said: "Order the soldiers, clean up this place and build a military camp in place. ”

"Wen Hou really wants to build a military camp here?" Chen Gong asked.

"I don't know how many unwilling souls linger in the former Western Chu military camp." Lu Bu said: "The fighting spirit they left behind is just right to inspire my soldiers. ”

"Wen Hou still believes this?" Chen Gong said with a smile: "For hundreds of years, even if there was anything left, it has long since disappeared." ”

"I'm past middle age, but I can go back to youth overnight." Lu Bu asked, "What else in this world can't happen?" ”

Chen Gong was speechless when asked, and smiled awkwardly.

"Please Xuan Gao to pass the order on his behalf." Lu Bu looked at Zang Ba next to him.

Zang Ba immediately shouted: "Wen Hou has an order, the soldiers will clean up the ruins and build a military camp on the spot." ”

Everything had to start over, and Lü Bu didn't have much money to transfer to Pengcheng, so the soldiers had to go out of the city to cut firewood and bring back stones.

Before the soldiers became soldiers, they were either farmers or craftsmen who ate by their craft.

Many of them were carpenters and stonemasons.

The construction of the barracks happened to use the skills of these people.

The people who came to Xuzhou were all the families of the soldiers in the army.

Among them, the family members of the Qingzhou Army accounted for more than half.

The soldiers were busy, and many of the people came to help.

Lu Bu did not pay the people who helped, but only invited them to eat with the soldiers for two meals a day.

If you help, you can have food, and the people who came to Pengcheng, along with adults and children, came to help build the military camp.

The so-called many people are easy to do.

The barracks, which originally took many days to see its first scale, quickly took shape with the cooperation of the whole city.

The construction of barracks requires the excavation of foundations.

Lu Bu took Chen Gong and Zang Ba to walk around the construction site, watching people build barracks.

"How is the dirt here?" A milky voice came into Lu Bu's ears.

He looked back and saw a child playing at the scene crawling out of a pit that was much taller than him with dirt on his little face and black mud on his hands.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Let's take a look!" He greeted Chen Gong and Zang Ba.

Walking quickly to the foundation, seeing the dark soil below, Lu Bu was immediately happy.

Pointing to the black dirt in the foundation, he laughed: "If God is really helping me, I have long heard that Pengcheng has this thing, but I didn't expect to dig it out after a few digs." ”

So he was so happy because Lu Bu knew what the black dirt was.

Coal!

It has long been recorded in the history books, but it was not until many years later that the Jin merchants discovered the resources that were exploited for exploitation.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, firewood was still used for fire, and there was no record of coal development.

No one knows what this black dirt is for.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in astonishment: "It's just black soil, how can Wen Hou look like he has seen a baby?" ”

"I don't know what this is?" Lu Bu asked without concealing his joy.

Chen Gong shook his head.

No one knows exactly what coal is for, and he certainly doesn't know what it is.

"It's called coal." Lu Bu said: "Putting it in the furnace will last longer than firewood, and the flame will be hotter. With it, we can forge tougher steel, and even many things that were once unexpected. ”

Black dirt can be burned?

Not only Chen Gong, but even Zang Ba didn't believe it.

Seeing that the expressions of the two were wrong, Lu Bu instructed to the side: "Get some coal, and I'll prove it to them." ”
