It's not like I haven't played with the county guard or something. When it can be protected or not, their choice directly determines the life and death of Shangguan.

There are evil Shangguan who are unrelenting, and they are killed by playing like this. There are also guards who are bent on death, and they will die with them. They have experienced too much, too much, and their hearts are too hard.

"We're late!" Yan Ming looked at the dilapidated Cloud City and sighed.

"It's never too late to come! It is our place, and we must hold it in death. An old soldier said.

"If the big man doesn't give up, we won't give up." Another veteran also said.

"General Wei Qing, the city defense in the clouds will be handed over to you." At this time, Yan Ming formally said to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing also gave up his hand and replied firmly: "Master Hou only cares about building the city, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

The old defenders saw that the two new arrivals were very young, and although they admired their courage to come to the frontier, they did not think that these two men really had any ability.

The construction of the cloud is very confidential. There has been no leakage before. The old defenders couldn't tell if Yan Ming had this ability.

But they have heard of Wei Qing's reputation. It is said to be the younger brother of one of the emperor's new ladies. The relationship between the royal family and the country.

Because of this, the old guards somewhat looked down on Wei Qing.

Since ancient times, relying on nepotism has always been criticized. Even a famous general like Wei Qinghuo Quai, who was also overshadowed by a historian with colored glasses. On the contrary, it was Li Guang, who had been defeated repeatedly, who covered up the light of the empire's double walls under the boast of literati and ink writers, and became the first general to boast about through the ages.

Sometimes, that's how the human heart is. Likes to attribute other people's success to luck. This kind of person actually doesn't know that luck is also a kind of ability.

Capable people, when luck comes, can seize the opportunity and soar to the sky. And those who are incapable, when luck comes, pass by, and in turn say that they are unlucky.

Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi are obviously people who can seize their luck.

Although they relied on Wei Zifu's relationship to enter the court. But the later development can be said to have little to do with Wei Zifu.

On the other hand, Li Guang has fought more than 70 battles with the Huns in his life, and he has never been defeated! This was said by Sima Qian. Don't question whether he is really undefeated, let's see if Li Guang has won first? The answer is Li Guang's victory, which seems to have never been.

If there was no Sima Qian, if there were no literati and writers in later generations, there would be no famous general Li Guang in this world.

But the world is like this, it's a dead knot, and there is no solution.

Wei Qing could see his contempt for himself from the eyes of the old defenders. But he won't care, because he was born as an illegitimate child, and then as a house slave and a riding slave.

Accustomed to being looked down upon with contempt, Wei Qing has never been humble or arrogant. The special experience and ambition made Wei Qing extremely strong and tolerant.

"Seniors!" Wei Qing did not stand on his toes, but bowed his hand to the old defenders and called out to his seniors. Only then did he say: "From now on, the guards of Cloud City will be handed over to the Hu Cavalry Captain's army. You can rest for a few days in peace. ”

"General, have you ever been at war with the Huns?" The leader of the old defenders is named Fan Li, although he clenched his fists and gave up his hands, but everyone could hear the politeness in his words.

Wei Qing smiled and said, "It's a battle." ”

"It's considered to have been warn, but it's not experienced enough. Please let the old guy talk more. We are tired, but we are not all resting. I also hope that the general will pick a few old soldiers who are familiar with the habits of the Xiongnu and defend the city together. What Fan Li said actually makes sense.

Wei Qing nodded without hesitation and said, "This method is good, it should indeed be like this." ”

The old defenders were surprised. A general is so easy to talk to, but it makes them think that this person is still a little cute.

The matter of defending the city has Wei Qing's research.

Yan Ming wasn't worried at all. Wei Qing, the famous in history, and General Sima will definitely be able to deal with this Cloud City.

What he had to do now was to let the old man Lu who came first come over from Yanmen County. The walls of Cloud City are in a dilapidated state, and it is a joke to want to rely on this kind of wall to defend Cloud County.

The first thing to do was to erect the walls of the clouds into wooden towers inside and out. Trebuchets and fire mines are placed on each tower.

Once a large number of Xiongnu invaded, there was a possibility of a war.

I have to say that the old man Lu is really old and strong. After coming here, Old Man Lu and Lao Xu's engineering team were together.

Yan Ming and their army arrived in the clouds in the morning, and Old Man Xu and Old Man Lu had already arrived with a large number of carriages in the afternoon.

The carriages are continuous, with no end in sight, and the transportation is naturally made of green bricks and cement.

The two counties of Yanmen and Dingxiang requisitioned a large number of border people to transport green bricks and cement to Yunzhong. At the same time, a large number of logs were delivered.

Old man Lu came to the clouds to find Yan Ming.

Seeing that Old Man Lu originally had a little black hair, but now it has turned white, Yan Ming felt sorry for this old man in his heart.

At such an age, you have to run around with the army. It's really embarrassing for him.

"Master Hou, the logs you prepared have been prepared. How to use it, you say yes. Old man Lu said.

"Don't worry, let's talk about it." Yan Ming smiled and handed over the water.

Old man Lu took a sip of water and said with a smile: "I was in Maolingyi before, although I have also heard of war. But I didn't expect the border people to live so hard. Now that I have come to the border city, I can't wait to play with the Huns in the border city! ”

"Haha, sir, people are not old-hearted." Yan Ming said with a smile: "You don't have to play with your life, you just need to build some towers on the basis of the city wall in the clouds, and install catapults to facilitate us to defend the city." Yan Ming said.

Old man Lu is an old carpenter, and carpenters are family heirlooms, so he naturally knows what the tower Yan Ming said is like. He nodded and said, "Master Hou, don't worry." The old man made some stable towers for Hou Ye. ”

After arranging Old Man Lu, Yan Ming called Lao Xu over.

The weather was getting warmer, and the walls of Yunzhong County had to be built quickly. Within the original city foundation, measure the place of three miles and three square circles, dig deep into the ground, and lay the foundation. The walls must be completed within a month.

Wu Laosi and others have come over in advance and produce a large number of green bricks and lime every day. The raw materials are enough. What is needed now is the speed of construction.

There are requirements for the city wall, the inner and outer cities, and the roads above the city. A month is a tight schedule. Lao Xu was a little toothy.

Yan Ming also knew that this matter was a bit embarrassing for Lao Xu.

"Give you the right to hire directly locally. All those who were willing to participate in the construction of the city could be paid for their work. Yan Ming said.

Lao Xu nodded and said, "Even so, the population in this cloud city is not too much, I'm afraid there are still not enough people." ”

Faced with this situation, Yan Ming was also helpless.

The conditions are difficult and the forms are harsh. If everything is well, you may not have to come by yourself.

Thinking of his comfortable days in Maolingyi, in the drunken immortal building in Chang'an City, a feeling of being separated from the world came to my heart.

"Hurry up first. The construction period was set for one month. It can't be too long. The Huns knew that we had built a city, and they would certainly come to sabotage and attack. If it is more than a month, their army will come. At that time, the city could not be built. Yan Ming said.

Lao Xu gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Master Hou, Lao Xu works hard, if you can't complete the task given by Master Hou." When I go back, I'll disband this engineering team, and I won't disgrace you. ”

Yan Ming patted Lao Xu on the shoulder and said, "Don't say this, who hasn't had a short stirrup." Don't disband at every turn. Now in the Han Dynasty, who else knows my architectural style better than you? ”

Lao Xu's eyes lit up, Yan Ming's statement made him feel very important.

In the evening, Yan Ming walked slowly in the new city. Chengxin followed him. Always be prepared to protect smokers. After all, this is a border city, not afraid of 10,000, just in case. If someone attacks this Hou Ye, Cheng Xin can't afford it.

Cloudsdale is withered. There's hardly any commercial liquor store on the interface. The windows of every house are even very small, with only a hole in a foot square. It's like a bunker turret.

This reminded Yan Ming of the contrast between Arab countries and his own country that he saw in the news broadcast of later generations. The houses in my own country are pursuing good lighting and floor-to-ceiling windows, and I can't wait to make the entire wall into glass and make a sun room.

But in those war-torn Arab countries, the houses are all thick cement, and the windows are all small holes. I want to be completely closed, in order to prevent stray bullets from flying into the room.

Every time he sees such a house and such a shot on the news, Yan Ming feels that his life is happy and beautiful. So he never does a keyboard warrior to spray the country and society.

It's not perfect at any time, whether it's a big person or a small person, they all have selfish desires and have public intentions. There are no completely good and bad people in this world, the key depends on how to guide.

In Cloudsdale today, all the houses are small holes. It can't be compared with the houses in Chang'an City. Typical Warzone style building.

Walking on the street, Yan Ming made up his mind to change the situation in the border city. What is the use of building people's homes, no matter how strong they are.

Under the so-called nest, there are no eggs!

If the country is broken, will there still be a city?

If the city is broken, will there still be a homeland?

If the home is gone, what do you want to do with your life?

Building a strong city and building Yunzhong into a hard bone that the Huns want to gnaw and can't gnaw on, this is what Yan Ming has to do.

Before coming, Yan Ming thought of the famous Ma Yi scheme. If the construction in the clouds is successful, the attraction of this place is much greater than that of Mayi.

Building in the clouds is the first step for Yanming to take. In the next step, when the Huns can't gnaw on the clouds, Yan Ming will play with Liu Che again! It's just that this time it's a little more perfect. [.]
