Chapter 11: Qi Ren Wins 1
Xiang Yu thought to himself: Two thousand years later, people still have experience, and consider the problem more comprehensively, although Hualong does not reflect the wisdom of others, but some details are dealt with, very in place, but he is very happy, and feels that Hualong will definitely bring him a lot of help. Although this war is a way of stealing chickens and touching dogs, the effect is extremely high, and he will fight openly and destroy the Soviet Union, but the soldiers will have greater casualties, so I don't feel ashamed. Liu Bang's hooligans often do this, and the methods are even worse.
Hua Long suddenly thought of another thing: "Brother Xiang, arrange a little more people to take over the Su State, which has been robbed by us, or someone else to manage public security, appease the people, and halve the local taxes, we can't not collect nothing, we need money and food now." For the local people, those who can be absorbed to do work should also be absorbed as much as possible, and do a good job of reconnaissance, as soon as there is a movement of the Qi army, immediately come to report, and withdraw the people, do not make senseless sacrifices, we can only defend one place. ”
Xiang Yu thinks that the arrangement is proper, he has fought in the past, and he has never thought about appeasing the people, and everywhere he goes, there is a river of blood.
Hua Long thought: Not long after he came, he was robbed by others, and now in a blink of an eye, he went to rob others again, well, only through war can peace be brought about, what he can do is to try his best to kill as few people.
The next day, Xiang Yu, Chen Sheng, and Li Tingting moved into the barracks, Hua Long ran to show goodwill to King Zhou, and said to King Zhou: Now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he and Xiang Yu are building defenses outside, so that Xiang Yu does not contact King Zhou.
King Zhou had no choice, and thought: You should still be a threat, you are a naked threat, but he is used to being threatened by the vassal states, and he doesn't feel too ashamed.
In the afternoon, Hua Long went to Xiang Yu's military camp to have a look, and then went home, and his heart had already flown home.
During the meal, Hua Long asked Xia Xueqin, "How old are you?" ”
"Brother Hua, I'm 17 years old, didn't you ask before." Xia Xueqin said.
Did I ask, Hua Long felt that he was a little second, so he said, "Xueqin, do you also want to take care of Brother Xiang today?" ”
Xia Xueqin said: "No. ”
"Impossible, I see that those girls in your village adore Brother Xiang, and they can't wait to marry him." Hua Long said.
"I worship Brother Xiang, but I don't have this idea." Xia Xueqin said.
"Then what are you doing all the way with us?" Hua Long was puzzled.
"I have a very good relationship with Li Tingting, she has to bring me along, he likes Brother Xiang very much, and said that he will follow him for the rest of his life, so I also came, I know that I will not suffer with you." Xia Xueqin explained.
"Don't you want to live a stable life?" Hua Long asked again.
"Before, I was ready to marry someone right away, but since I met you, I have no idea of getting married." Xia Xueqin replied.
"It's a pity not to marry, such a beautiful girl." Hua Long said.
"Am I pretty? Brother Hua. Xia Xueqin asked.
"It must be beautiful, I've been looking for a chance to get close to you these days, but Brother Xiang and they are here, I'm embarrassed." Hua Long said tentatively.
Xia Xueqin blushed a little and said, "You are a good person, I will clean up the dishes and chopsticks, wash the dishes, and put away the dishes and chopsticks and leave." ”
Hua Long was puzzled, saying that I was a good person, did he really think I was good, or put a high hat on me and told me not to harass her.
Hua Long now went to see King Zhou every two or three days to talk to him, making him feel that he was always under his nose, so that he was not too worried.
Then he went to the barracks and construction sites every day to work as an overseer to see if there were any abuses of prisoners and oppression of workers.
More than ten days after the start of construction, Chen Sheng found Hualong and said that the place where we chose the site was too loose, and it took a lot of effort to dig deep and go down to the foot of the city wall.
Hua Long said: "You and Brother Xiang didn't report it. ”
"I told him, and he asked me to come and ask you." Chen Shengdao.
Then let's go and have a look, after Hua Long arrived, he looked at the terrain and said: "Move the site of the city back 2 miles, the city gate is facing this place, and the earthwork used for construction is taken from here, and then you ask people to collect wood from the surrounding area, and the diameter should be more than 2 feet, and at least 6,000 trees will be received within three months." 1,500 trees were left, and the rest were sawn into planks. At that time, the two feet were 46.2 centimeters.
The construction period was delayed for more than ten days, and he had to be in a hurry, so Hua Long simply supervised the construction site, because Xiang Yu disdained to take care of this matter, and devoted himself to cultivating generals and controlling the army. A month after the start of construction, Hua Long was pleased that there were about 5,000 people from outside who came to work, so that with the addition of prisoners, nearly 10,000 people were doing things, plus his own 2,000 people, and the speed of building the city was very fast.
In less than 4 months, the city walls were built, although it was not very majestic, but it could also play a certain defensive role, the barracks of the garrison in the city were almost completed, and the timber was also made according to the requirements, Hualong gathered everyone together, and said to everyone, now that the city has been built, everyone will not use the money when they are completed, and those who surrender can also go home after receiving the money, and those who are willing to stay and fight with us to kill the enemy, we welcome.
Then many people said, "I want to join you."
The next day, the number of people was cleared, there were 5,000 people left, and more than 3,500 soldiers who surrendered remained, in fact, these surrendered soldiers were almost also Zhou Dynasty people, but they were ceded out, and 1,500 people joined in. So that the entire army has 7000 people, and 5500 people are experienced soldiers.
Hua Long discussed with Xiang Yu and Chen Sheng, and Hua Long said: "Big brother, you train these 1,500 recruits, and Chen Sheng is responsible for doing the school." ”
During this time, the first 2,000 soldiers had already been rectified, and Xiang Yu actually had nothing to do, but often came to see Hualong and them.
Hua Long also said: "You make a school field 200 meters wide and 500 meters long, facing the city gate, dig 10 meters deep below, and then put up columns, cover with wooden boards, and cover the wooden planks with 3 feet of deep soil to make the school field." ”
After Xiang Yu left, Hua Long found Chen Sheng alone and arranged the school field.
Finally able to relax, at dinner in the evening, Xia Xueqin said to Hua Long: "Brother Xiang, you can't go back once in a few days during this time, and you will sleep when you go home, and you haven't finished your busy work yet?" ”
Hua Long said: "Yes, King Zhou's side often has to deal with it, and the construction site has to be managed, but now he is almost busy." ”
"Oh, I thought you hated me and didn't want to pay attention to me." Xia Xueqin said leisurely.
"How is it possible, you are so beautiful, how I hate you." Hua Long said.
"And you haven't talked to me much in months?" Xia Xueqin asked after her.
"I'm afraid that you like Brother Xiang as much as Li Tingting, and I'm going to tease you when I'm old, you're not happy." Hua Long said again.
"No, I don't like Brother Xiang." Xia Xueqin said with a blushing face.
So do you like me? Hualong was a little surprised.
Xia Xueqin nodded a little embarrassed.
Hua Long was overjoyed: "Why do you like me?" Brother Xiang is a big hero. ”
