Cao Pi has always believed that to define whether a local family is strong, it depends on whether the family is famous for many scholars, the Xun family eight dragons are famous all over the world, the four major families of Yingchuan are famous, and Yingchuan Academy is a holy place for many scholars, which shows the strength of the family.

Compared with the Xun Eight Dragons, Sima Bada's reputation is not so great, but after Cao Pi saw the camp of the Sima clan stationed outside Tuyin City, he felt that the strength and potential of the Sima family were stronger than the four major families of Yingchuan.

A lot of Tuntian camps have been built outside the city, most of which are based on the abandoned Wu forts and manors, and the people have been arranged in the Tuntian camps. The gallop road from Tuyin City to Xunshui has been widened by Cao Pi, outside the west city gate, Zhong Changtong used lime with rammed earth and stone bricks to build a circle of urn city, there is a military camp in the urn city, the military camp can accommodate 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 horses, the clansmen of the Sima clan came from all sides, and the day before arriving at the city, they sent a messenger to present a prayer post, and Cao Pi replied to the letter, asking him to camp in the urn city.

More than 3,000 people of the Sima clan arrived at the foot of the city the next day, and set up camp under the watchful eye of the soldiers of Wengcheng, the Sima clan is a complete family, a lineage, a concubine, a servant, a tenant, the hierarchy is clear, and the camp they set up also shows that in addition to this level.

In the very center of the camp was wide and neat, and the horses outside the account were all fine horses, fifty of them. The second is a circle of more tents, this camp has the most men in armor, and the most weapons and bows are placed outside the tents, and then there is a circle of camp tents mixed with pack horses, oxen, and donkeys. On the outermost level were a handful of lightly dressed men, women and children, whose tents were the most unruly and rotten, patched everywhere, looking like hastily cobbled together tents.

Cao Pi stood behind the newly built female wall of the urn city, looking down on the camp, and Niu Jin was in charge of the defense of the Ximen urn city, and he was standing beside Cao Pi at this time, standing side by side with the guard Xiahou Shang.

"Cambridge, what do you think of this Sima clan's camp?" Cao Pi asked.

"No, this outermost city is the tenants and women and children in the clan, ragged, without combat power, if it encounters a sneak attack by the thief army, it will inevitably scatter, but it will block the strong men in the innermost two layers of the clan to resist the enemy." Niu Jin scoffed.

Cao Pi said indifferently: "Didn't Cambridge find out, didn't there be a noble female dependent in this camp?" ”

Niu Jin looked at it and said, "It's true, it must still stay in Hanoi, and it will not be sent until their clan settles down here." ”

"So the outermost women and children are just the small families of their tenants, in the autumn and winter when they travel long distances, wearing such thin clothes, they don't know how many people died on the road, for the Sima clan, these people are just cattle that can be discarded at any time, if they encounter an enemy attack, the innermost children will break through from the opposite direction, and the second inner layer will break through from the other direction, when passing by the cattle and horse railings and the outermost layer, as long as someone is in the way, they will not hesitate to kill them, so that the outermost two layers of domestic servants and tenants will be chaotic, Can they still resist them for a while, does Cambridge still think that their camp is not in order? Cao Pi sighed in his heart, although Niu Jin has been studying military books hard and often solves his doubts, his brain is not active enough.

"In this way, the camp of the Sima clan is a foolproof method that can protect the most elite part of their family." Niu Jin suddenly realized.

"From Hanoi to Youzhou, in fact, it is already under the jurisdiction of our army, but the mountains in the middle are blocked, the rivers are numerous, there are always places where the troops are not as strong, there will inevitably be thieves who occupy the mountains as the king, they will go all the way if they encounter thieves with little power, they will naturally dare not act rashly, if they meet thieves who dare to attack them, they can also calmly break through the siege in the decision whether to fight or retreat, Sima can take root in Hanoi, it is indeed extraordinary. It can also be seen that this person is accustomed to seeking stability. Cao Pi had a little more appreciation for Sima Yi, who led the people to relocate, and was able to have such a marching idea, although it was only with 3,000 clansmen who dragged their families and mouths, it was enough to show that Sima You had a very good military talent to come up with this lowest-risk way of camping.

"Have you already told Sima Zhongda to enter the city to see me?" Cao Pi asked again.

"Someone has been sent to inform." While he was talking, footsteps sounded in the city tower, and several sergeants came to the two with a man wearing a robe and a fur cover, and the sergeant who led the way reported: "The state pastor, the military marquis, Sima Zhongda brought it." ”

The fur man is still tall, on par with Cao Pi, who has completed the basic height development, about 180 cm, his eyebrows fly obliquely into the sideburns, his eyes are sharp, and his appearance is not handsome, but he is still upright, especially with a strong aggression between the eyebrows and eyes, which is very suitable for playing villains in later TV series. Although the man has a beard, he doesn't look old, he should be twenty-five or sixteen years old, seven or eight years older than Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi looked at the man, the man glanced at Cao Pi quickly, and then said: "Hanoi Wen ~ County Xiaojing Li Sima Zhongda visited Zhi Jinwu and the state pastor. ”

Cao Pi stepped forward to hold Sima Yi and smiled: "Zhong Da has come from afar, and he has worked hard all the way. ”

Sima Yi immediately said: "The state pastor is serious, he came to Youzhou early, the people were worried in their hearts, after entering Youzhou, from Zhuojun to Yuyang, it was a scene of peace, and the people were also settled in their hearts. ”

The urn city is the debut work of Zhong Changtong to build the city wall with lime, and naturally it took a lot of effort, but with lime can make the bricks more compact, so it is also built relatively high, which has exceeded ten meters, which is a relatively high city wall in the world, so Sima Yi has this word.

Cao Pi smiled, pulled Sima Yi from the city tower to the pavilion on the city tower, and said to Niu Jin at the same time: "Cambridge can rest, Boren, stay on the city tower." ”

Niu Jin and Xiahou Shang immediately received the order, while Cao Pi and Sima Yi entered the attic of the city tower alone, and after entering the attic, Sima Yi let out a "huh".

"Zhongda, what's the matter?" Cao Pi asked.

"The grass people have traveled in the Central Plains for many years, and have been to many counties and counties, and have been on a lot of city towers, the attic above the city tower is not stable because of too much rammed earth on the lower floor, and the foundation is not stable, generally only built with bricks, not like the general house with rammed earth, there are inevitably gaps between the bricks, naturally there is air leakage everywhere, but although this attic also leaks, but it is much better than other attics in the city, under closer inspection, it is also built with bricks, why is there such a difference?"

"It's simple, water it with lime water, and there will be fewer air leaks." Cao Pi replied with a smile.

"What is lime water?" Sima Yi asked in amazement. (To be continued.) )
