"Uncle Xuan has been running around for days, and he will go down to rest first."

"The Northern Expedition is a very important matter, so let Bengong discuss it with the ministers."

"Say goodbye below."

After Cui Hong left, Huan Xuan glanced at everyone and said, "What do you think about this?" ”

"Tai Lieutenant, although Nanyan is weak, he has a Xianbei Iron Horse." Yang Fu frowned.

"Then Murong De is also a famous Xianbei general, is the Jingzhou army sure to win the battle?"

"Back then, when the Jin army was defeated, it was attacked by the Xianbei Iron Cavalry."

"Weichen is worried that if the Northern Expedition does not go well, let the Xianbei army go south, and I am afraid that the northern counties of Huai will not be protected."

"At that time, not only will you not be able to restore the prestige of the captain, but you will also be in a place of no return."

Although what Yang Fu said is a bit alarmist, if you think about it, it is indeed very likely to happen.

This not only made everyone's hearts sink, after all, it is a fact that the Xianbei Iron Cavalry has good combat power.

Except for Liu Yu, who once broke the Xianbei Iron Cavalry, the rest of the generals rarely won the victory.

Even with Huan Wen's strength, he was almost wiped out by the Xianbei Iron Cavalry.

Originally, Yang Fu just wanted to remind Huan Xuan, so as not to repeat his father's mistakes.

As everyone knows, Huan Xuan unexpectedly strengthened his determination to go on the Northern Expedition, and took this Northern Expedition to Nanyan as an opportunity to be ashamed of his father.

In Huan Xuan's heart, Murong De is Murong Chui's brother, and he also participated in the Battle of Fangtou.

If you can capture and kill this person, not to mention avenge your father, at least you can get out of a bad breath.

So, Huan Xuan's face was slightly cold and said: "Yang Qing, when the Jin army was defeated, it was because the Di people and the Xianbei people colluded, and the two sides partnered to ambush the Jin army, otherwise Murong Chui would be my father's enemy?" ”

Wang Mi was good at observing words and feelings, and immediately realized that Huan Xuan's attitude had changed subtly.

So, he hurriedly got up and echoed: "What Nanjun Gong said is very true, the so-called time and time!" ”

"At the beginning of the battle of Fangtou, it was Qin Yan who conspired with me to become a great jin."

"And now it is the imperial court uniting with Hexi to plot against Nanyan, and the status of the two sides and the internal and external situation have been completely reversed."

"It is impossible for Xianbei people to replicate the victory of that year, and my Dajin will be expected to be disgraced."

Wang Mi bent down and gave a deep salute, and said unhurriedly: "The minister thinks Cui Hong's proposal is very good!" ”

"Taiwei led the army north, and King Yong led the army east from the Central Plains."

"If Nanyan suffers from the enemy in the belly and back, it will definitely be defeated."

Huan Xuanzhi was overjoyed and said, "Do you have anything to add?" ”

"The minister thinks he might as well give another order to Xuzhou Mu Liu Yu and make him a striker." Yin Zhongwen suddenly spoke.

"Xuzhou Mu Liu Yu ......"

Huan Xuan didn't know what he thought, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

In February of the second year of Long An, after nearly eight months of construction, Chang'an New City was finally successfully completed.

Knowing that the new city was completed, Wei's joy was beyond words.

He immediately entrusted Nanyang to Liu Muzhi, the bald Wei Tan and others, and he himself set off to rush back to Guanzhong.

"Chang'an New City has been successfully completed, please go to Your Highness for acceptance."

"Jia Qing really didn't disappoint Lone, half a month earlier than the original plan, it's really great."

"The successful completion of Chang'an New City this time is a great achievement."

"His Royal Highness has been awarded, and the ministers dare not take credit, this is all the benevolence and righteousness of the king, abolishing labor and adopting the employment system."

"Now it has not only shortened the construction period, but also made the new city project benefit all people."

After returning to Chang'an, Wei Shuo, accompanied by Jia Qian, began to inspect Chang'an New Town.

Since the recovery of Guanzhong, Hexi has begun to plan the construction of Chang'an New City.

At present, the overall progress of the project is smooth, the city wall, streets, roads, Daming Palace, yamen, residential areas, bridges and other main projects have all been completed, and the commercial shops, large commercial areas, workshop areas, garden leisure areas and so on have been nearing completion.

After a short time, Wei Shuo and his entourage left the old city and came to the southeast of Longshouyuan.

I saw a majestic and magnificent brand new city, standing on the open ground south of Longshouyuan.

It resembles a lying tiger, overlooking the world and ready to go.

Looking at the tall city, Wei Shuo's heart was excited, he knew that a new dynasty would slowly start from here.

Standing beside King Yong, Jia Qian pointed proudly.

"Your Highness, the layout of the new city is neat and uniform, and the shape is rectangular."

"The whole city is composed of three parts: the palace city, the imperial city, and the outer Guo city, and it completely adopts a symmetrical layout from east to west."

"The whole new city covers an area of about 100 square kilometers, which is almost three times the size of the old city."

"The streets and rivers in the city are neatly planned, and the longitude and latitude of the east, west, north and south are distinct."

"On the north-south axis, the central street is about ten zhang wide, while the rest of the secondary streets are eight zhang wide."

"Due to the heavy use of cement and concrete structures, Chang'an New City is much stronger than the traditional old city."

"In addition, in order to improve the city's defense capability, the city wall is tilted to a certain extent."

"The outer city also has various defense facilities such as urn city, horse face, battlements, corner platforms, corner towers, and city towers."

"Outside the city is surrounded by a moat that is two feet wide and about three feet deep."

"It's not a boast of Haikou, only in terms of defense, the new city can be said to be the best in the world."

"In addition, in terms of the grand scale, the complete facilities, and the regular layout, there is no one in the world who is out of the right side of the new city!"

Wei Shuo himself participated in the planning and design of the new city, so he naturally knew that Jia Qian did not boast about Haikou.

It is understood that from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was no rule at all in the urban pattern of the capitals of each dynasty.

All kinds of palaces, government offices, and private residences are staggered and very messy.

Only this time in the construction of Chang'an New City, Hexi began to pay attention to a balanced and symmetrical pattern, and formed a square layout.

And unlike the previous chaos, the new city has been relatively separated from the three parts of the imperial palace, the imperial city, and the residences.

In this way, there is a clear line between each other, which is both safe and practical.

The whole city is aimed at the main street of the palace city, the imperial city and the south gate of the outer Guo city as the central axis, and within the scope of the outer Guo city, the whole city is divided into one hundred and nine squares and the east and west cities with 25 criss-crossing streets.

Standing outside the south gate for a moment, Wei Shuo then drove his horse into the city.

The first thing that catches your eye is the tall and majestic castle tower.

When the crowd passed through the city gate, they went up to the central street, that is, Suzaku Street.

I saw green trees on both sides, commercial shops, houses lined up one after another, and buildings facing each other.

Seeing this, Wei Shuo bowed slightly, feeling very satisfied with the environment of the new city, and basically realized the vision in his heart.

Except for urban defense facilities, streets, waterways and other infrastructure, ministerial yamen, official residential areas and cultural areas, all the other areas have basically been built into commercial areas and workshop areas to promote economic development.

In the new city, the person who attracts the attention of the outside world the most is not the main hall of the palace - Daming Palace, but the Taoist Temple of the New Heavenly Master.

This gorgeous Taoist temple has become a holy place in the hearts of believers, and it is a beautiful scenery in Guanzhong.

After inspecting the new city, Wei Shuo began to arrange for the personnel and government offices to move to the new city.

Although the old and new cities are not far apart, the cabinet is still busy because of the large number of people involved.

It has been busy for more than ten days, and it was only up and down in Hexi that all the personnel and government offices were moved to Xincheng.

When everything was settled, it happened that Cui Hong returned to Chang'an from his aunt.

Maybe everything has been going well recently, which makes Wei Shuo seem to be in a good mood.

He looked at Cui Hong with a smile and asked, "How is it, can this trip go well?" ”

"Thanks to His Royal Highness Hongfu, everything is going well."

"Huan Xuan not only promised not to be entangled with Hexi in Nanyang again, but also prepared to let His Highness supervise the military of the Central Plains."

"Good!"

Wei Shuo was overjoyed and slapped the case table heavily.

Huan Xuan's withdrawal from Nanyang certainly made him fall to the ground with a stone in his heart, but getting the military position of the governor of the Central Plains allowed him to meddle in the Central Plains justifiably.

The Central Plains, like Nanyang, are both Jin Dynasty territory, unless Hexi is ready to tear up his face with Jiangdong, otherwise he will eventually need a name.

This time, he asked Cui Hong to lobby Huan Xuan's northern expedition to Southern Yan, one of the purposes of which was to swallow the Central Plains.

"Well, that's good!" Wei Shuo smiled, and he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.

"Now there are still three or four months before the Northern Expedition of Nanjun in midsummer."

"Your Highness can take this opportunity to show his strength and rectify the Central Plains."

"Well, Uncle Xuan's words are very unwilling."

"Seeking the Central Plains by unscrupulous means, not for his own selfishness, but in the hope of ending the war as soon as possible and returning the people of the world to a prosperous future."

"However, although Xin Gongjing supports the army and respects himself, he has no fault of being captured or harming the people in private, so it is not good to be a heavy hand directly."

"If you can not use troops, it is best to take the Central Plains peacefully."

Cui Hong said: "Xin Gongjing is also a talent, after Qin Dong, he stuck to Luoyang and blocked the Later Qin soldiers. ”

"If you can subdue it, won't Your Highness have one more talent?"

"Now that the new city is completed, His Royal Highness may wish to invite him to Chang'an for a banquet on this ground."

"At that time, I will be reasonable and affectionate with him, and I am afraid that this person will not give in?"

"In addition, Your Highness may wish to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle."

"What is a salary draw?"

"Hey, hey! The Central Plains family hasn't always wanted to take refuge in Hexi, and now it's their turn to perform. ”

"Your Highness can write a letter to Zheng Wen and ask him to try to pull the Central Plains family to Hexi."

"In this way, His Royal Highness has the righteousness of the imperial court and the support of the Central Plains family, what else can Xin Gongjing and Xiahou Zongzhi do in addition to obediently restraining their hands?"

Wei Shuo nodded happily and smiled: "Aiqing and Gu coincide. ”

"Your Highness, since you want to use the Zheng family, you might as well give Zheng Wen a false position."

"Oh? With the meaning of Xuanbo, what position should he entrust? ”

"The head of the Zheng family is good at scripture, why don't you let Zheng Wen be in charge of Sizhou education, what does Your Highness think?"

"Hahaha, let Zheng Ye go home to see his father."
