Chapter One Hundred and One: New Town
At the same time as Han Yi explained, these cavalrymen had already packed up their armor and put it into the box that the pack horse was carrying. Liu He, www.biquge.info of the pen, was surprised to find that although these armors looked bulky, they actually used a principle similar to chain mail, so they were easily packed into the box.
At this time, these hundreds of cavalry looked no different from ordinary cavalry, and they could be armed immediately if necessary.
In this way, Liu He can not only secretly keep this cavalry with amazing combat power, but also choose whether they appear in the form of heavy armored cavalry or light cavalry according to the changes on the battlefield, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Liu He finally put his mind at ease now, and his face finally showed a relaxed expression that had been rare for many days. It's just that although they put away their armor, the cavalry in front of them is still a little eye-catching, because the ink knife in their hands is too unique.
Han Yi saw Liu He's thoughts, and after briefly explaining the functions of the ink knife to Liu He, he expressed his attitude.
The armor can be removed, and the ink knife will not be abandoned.
Although Liu He was amazed by the ingenious design of the ink knife, he was a little puzzled by Han Yi's persistence.
But this little thing is harmless, seeing that Xinye City has appeared in sight, Liu He suddenly showed excitement.
Xinye City, the place of Zhuge Liang's first battle, burned Bowangpo, and it was also his work out of the mountain.
And Master, I want to fire the first shot of my life here!
As soon as he entered Xinye City, Liu He, who was still full of ambition just now, instantly felt half cold.
Is this dilapidated place embarrassingly called a city?
Liu He looked at the city wall, which was not much taller than himself, and lost interest for a moment.
According to the height of this city wall, Mo Cao Cao's 100,000 army is probably difficult to resist even if ordinary bandits come.
Looking at the city again, it is even more dilapidated, the common people are yellow and thin, and their houses are not much better than those small wooden houses that are ghostly.
Just when Liu He was a little discouraged, someone suddenly shouted: "Here, here, Mr. Tianji is here!" ”
The town, which looked lifeless just now, suddenly changed its appearance because of Liu He's arrival.
The people walked out of their homes one after another and stood on both sides of the road, and their jubilant appearance made Liu He a little flattered.
"Sir, we have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, and as soon as you come, this new wild city will be saved." A middle-aged man who looked very honest and honest said excitedly.
Only then did Liu He understand that in order to appease the people, Liu Bei had already told the people the news that he had gone to conscription.
From this point of view, the situation is probably not optimistic, otherwise Liu Bei would not have taken the risk of taking this step, because once Liu He did not bring troops to come, the blow to the people's hearts would be devastating.
Coming to the barracks, Liu Bei, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and grabbed Liu He's hand, and after hearing that Liu He had brought thousands of troops, tears of excitement almost didn't fall.
Although a few thousand troops did not seem like much, for Liu Bei, it almost doubled the strength of his troops.
Liu He struck while the iron was hot, and put forward a timely request to Liu Bei to put Han Yi's hundreds of cavalry into the Tianji Battalion, of course Liu Bei didn't know what kind of terrifying combat power this was a cavalry, so he happily agreed.
At this time, Liu He was completely relieved, and there was only one goal at hand, to defend this new wild city.
It's easy to defend the city, but it's not so simple to do.
In front of Liu He's eyes, the first thing is how to settle those people who are worried.
Originally, Liu He thought that even if Xinye was not a rich place, since it could be called a city, it would not be bad, but now it seems that this city may not be able to accommodate so many people.
Even if it can be pretended, how the people get along with each other is also a problem. For these people who are almost no different from the homeless people, Liu He is not sure if the people of Xinye can welcome them as they welcome themselves, after all, a group of outsiders suddenly come, and everyone will be involuntary in their hearts.
After repeatedly studying the city map of Xinye Castle for a long time, Liu He suddenly made a decision that stunned everyone, re-erecting the four city walls and turning the original Xinye Castle into a city within a city.
This kind of behavior, which can almost be said to be a waste of money and labor, was immediately opposed by everyone, including Zhuge Liang, but Liu He's words made them speechless in an instant.
Is there any other way to do it?
The truth is this truth, but Liu Bei always hesitated and refused to give an order, because once this order was given, his reputation as a son who loved the people like a son would be ruined.
Unexpectedly, Liu He said that there was no need to give any orders, and within three days, the people would take the initiative to participate in the construction of the city.
Liu Bei didn't understand what trick Liu He was going to use at first, but when he looked at Mr. Tianji, who had never just used his mouth, and was half tired to death every day because of moving city bricks, he knew that Liu He didn't want to use any tricks at all this time, but wanted to come to the real thing.
Mr. Tianji practiced it, and this news naturally spread among the people. When they learned that this Mr. Tianji wanted to rebuild the city, they were all shocked, could it be that with just these hundreds of soldiers, they wanted to rebuild a new city in a short time?
What makes these people even more unbelievable is that such a large-scale project as the construction of a city has not recruited a single strong man.
This was the first time they had seen only the officials and soldiers building the city, but they should have been secretly glad that they couldn't sit still this time.
Especially when they saw with their own eyes that Mr. Tianji, who was bleeding from his fingers and still refused to stop, almost fell down several times, several ordinary people finally couldn't help but rush forward.
One, two, three......
More and more people joined the team to build the city, including the original residents of Shinno Castle, and the people who migrated from the ghosts, after how many times they looked at each other and laughed when sweating, the two parties who had been smuggling unconsciously let go of the estrangement between each other.
And Mr. Tianji, who is usually very good at words, did not say a word of grandeur this time, but kept working hard until he fainted from exhaustion and was carried off the city wall.
When he woke up, he saw Zhuge Liang sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Awake?" Zhuge Liang asked softly.
Liu He nodded slightly, got up and was about to walk outside the house.
Zhuge Liang grabbed him, "Where are you going to go when you just woke up?" ”
Liu He turned his head and was a little reserved, "Don't worry, I still want to take a look." ”
"The sun is about to set, and the people are about to disperse, let's go again tomorrow," Zhuge Liang took out two wine jars from the side, "I brought you good wine, we haven't drunk it for a long time, this time Cao Cao's army is attacking, and I don't know if there is a chance to drink it again." ”
