The right side of Wuguan is also surrounded by mountains, and behind several steep peaks, there is the sound of flowing water hitting stones, Liu Yuan knows that it is the movement of Danshui going south. With a deep gaze, looking at the barrier of the peaks, it seems that you can see a small city of Danshui hundreds of miles away, with the Chu character military flag fluttering, thousands of Chu troops, sharpening their knives.

Wen Ping, an "acquaintance", General Jing Chu, Liu Yuan felt a strange emotion in his heart. However, Liu Biao, the guardian dog, became more and more bold after becoming the king, and it seemed that Sun Ce did not put enough pressure on him in the east.

Under the guidance of Zhang Xiu, he patrolled the defense of Wuguan. In addition to the main city, Zhang Xiu was also in the mountain passes outside the pass, full of stronghold scouts, closely monitored. The city wall, by Zhang Xiu as a whole raised about a zhang of height, from the bottom to look up at it, daunting, this is a big project, exhausting three years of strength to complete.

Within the city gate, the original urn city, after the urn city, Zhang Xiu built another small city, used to garrison soldiers. Wuguan has been a simple military fortress, in the city to build four granaries of four large buildings, another three reservoirs, the water of the Dan River into the pool. Looking at Zhang Xiu's preparations, he is obviously ready to deal with a protracted battle.

"Looking at the general's arrangement, I can rest assured about Wuguan!" Liu Yuan's praise for Zhang Xiuzhi this time came from the heart.

"But don't let go!"

Hearing Liu Yuan's words, a little smile appeared on his face, a little proud, and when he heard Liu Yuan's warning, he quickly restrained his expression. Solemnly replied: "No! ”

......

ran inside and out, and Liu Yuan, who was already full of flesh, also had some soreness in his thighs. Go back to the city, bathe and change clothes, and wash away the dust.

Zhang Xiu prepared a dinner party, received Liu Yuan, and the lieutenants and lieutenants of the guards were all summoned to the general's mansion. His Majesty personally went to the inspection, and while feeling the pressure, it also made the upper and lower spirits a little uplifted.

"You say goodbye to your parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters, and have worked hard to defend the city for many years, I respect you all the lords, please!" Liu Yuan raised his glass and invited.

"Your Majesty, please!" Zhang Xiu took the lead, Ying and Liu Yuan.

"Your Majesty will wait for our small family, moved to Wuguan Road, Shangshang County, Shangluo two places, in our spare time, we can take turns to visit relatives, in order to enjoy the family. Your Majesty is merciful! "There is a scribe at the bottom who flattered Liu Yuan and said, he is Zhang Xiu's staff, born in a poor family, but in front of the Great Xia Emperor, he wants to show it.

"In this way, you are not just guarding the city for me, behind this city pass, you are protecting your relatives and your homeland!" Liu Yuan said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will defend the city to the death!" A cadre of people promised in unison.

"Take out some of the grain and minced meat in the warehouse, so that the soldiers of the city can enjoy themselves with all the kings!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Under the audience, there is a rough man, drinking and eating meat, with the style of a warrior. Liu Yuan glanced at it a few times, and Zhang Xiu immediately pointed at him: "This is a junior colonel in the army, Hu Che'er, quite brave, and fierce in battle!" ”

Another "acquaintance".

Even if the guests and hosts are happy, drinking will naturally not be enjoyable, and getting drunk is unacceptable.

Dressed in regular clothes, accompanied by Zhang Xiu, he strolled in the back garden of the General's Mansion. Wuguan is not short of mountain stones, the bluestone in the garden is placed in a different shape, there is a piece of green bamboo swaying slightly in the breeze, and there are some unknown flowers and plants, exuding fragrance.

"Your backyard decoration is quite elegant!" Wandering in the gentle breeze, Liu Yuan, whose face was slightly red, said casually.

Zhang Xiu opened his mouth to speak, as if he wanted to explain something, but Liu Yuan had already revealed the matter, and said in a deep voice: "On the way to patrol the pass, I encountered a gang of bandits assassination!" ”

"Where did the rebels come from, they dared to assassinate Your Majesty!" Zhang Xiu was a little surprised, he didn't know about it.

"It should be some enemy secrets, I will send someone to deal with it!" Liu Yuan's expression was a little cold, and he looked at Zhang Xiu: "When I mention this matter, I only hope that you will pay attention to it, except for the enemies outside the gate, you must not relax your vigilance behind you." Maybe, in this vast mountain range, a 'mountain bandit' will suddenly burst out! ”

"The minister understands!" Raised by Liu Yuan, Zhang Xiu's expression also sank.

The moon is so round, and the bright and clear light is sprinkled, draped in moonlight, and a few shadows are pulled. At this time, a melodious sound of the piano came, which aroused Liu Yuan's curiosity. When he was in the imperial palace, there was Cai Yan, a master of piano skills, and when he was bored, he asked him to play to relieve fatigue. has been influenced by this all year round, although he can't play, Liu Yuan still has a certain experience in listening to the piano.

The sound of the piano came from a side courtyard, and when I heard the sound, I looked through the window, looking in, a wonderful man in plain clothes, accompanied by a light smoke, and the jade fingers were plucked, playing attentively. Looking at his jade cheeks, his face is ruddy, with a graceful temperament, and there seems to be a trace of loneliness between his eyebrows.

"I never thought that there are such wonderful people hidden in the general's mansion, and the blessings are not shallow!" As soon as the interest came up, Liu Yuan smiled and made an expression for Zhang Xiu that all men understand.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, her face turned red, and she quickly explained: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, this is the widow of the last general's uncle!" After the death of his uncle, Uncle Si was lonely and helpless, so he came to serve! ”

As soon as his head was clear, Liu Yuan stroked his forehead with his hand, his expression was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "It's me Menglang!" Liu Yuan knew that this was the Zou family.

Hearing the movement outside, the sound of the piano inside stopped, Zou raised his eyes and saw that Congzi Zhang Xiubi respectfully led a middle-aged man in noble clothes to the entrance. The middle-aged man's face was a little red, and he didn't get angry and arrogant in every move.

In Wuguan, the only person who can make Zhang Xiu wait so carefully is His Majesty the Emperor.

got up in front of Liu Yuan, Zou bowed down, and said softly: "Concubine Zou, meet Your Majesty!" ”

This woman is smart, Liu Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, and smiled faintly: "Madame, no courtesy!" ”

Quietly looking at Liu Yuan's expression, he saw that he glanced around Zou a few times presumptuously, and sighed in his heart, this majesty will not take a fancy to his uncle. Thinking of Liu Yuan's hobbies that he had heard, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"The front-line city pass is full of dangers, and the war is about to start, so it is a little inappropriate to put my wife in this dangerous place!" Liu Yuan waved his hand and said to Zhang Xiu: "Your mansion in Chang'an has been vacant for a long time, so you should send it back to Chang'an to be raised, so you can rest assured that you will defend the city!" ”

Seeing that Liu Yuan retracted his gaze, regained his indifferent appearance, and had already turned around and went out, Zhang Xiu's heart was relieved: "But the minister is not thoughtful, thank you Your Majesty for your concern!" ”

Turning his head to look at the pretty appearance of the Zou family, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but panic, and saluted: "Uncle and mother are resting for a while, and my son still needs to be served!" ”

"There you go!" Zou Judo.

Walking through the corridor of the General's Mansion, following Liu Yuan closely, Zhang Rang glanced around and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want the slaves to arrange it?" ”

"Arrange what?" Liu Yuan stopped.

"The slave looks at this daughter of the Zou family, she is pretty and quite graceful, if Your Majesty intends to ......"

"Presumptuous!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yuan: "Zhang Ji died for my conquest, how dare he think about his widow!" I, am I the one who can't walk when I see a woman? ”

"The slave lost his word, the slave lost his word!" Zhang Rang said in some panic, but there was a flash of color in his eyes.
