After discussing the matter, Li Qin went back to the house to rest, he lay on the couch, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking about the castle that would belong to him.

Since it is a fort, it must not be too big, the fort will be built in large quantities in the later Jin Dynasty, according to the danger to build the fort to self-consolidation, in the dangerous place, build the fortress, the main function is to station soldiers, strengthen the defensive force.

Li Qin stared at the roof and thought to himself, "Tang Jie asked me to build a fort thirty miles away from Fuping, why is it so far away?" Ah, I see, because I can only choose the north, he clearly said that it is to prevent Hu trouble, and the Hu people come from the north, which is equivalent to telling me clearly that I can only choose the north, but thirty miles to the north, isn't that a plain? ”

Thinking of this, Li Qin suddenly sat up from the couch, angry in his heart, this Yusuke actually asked me to build a castle on the plain, is he afraid that I will not die fast enough?

He slowly lay back on the bed, the fact is already like this, it's useless to be angry again, in other people's territory, you can only listen to others. But what kind of castle can be built in the plains?

After thinking about it for a long time, suddenly Li Qin remembered the travel program he watched in his previous life, the tour guide in it had introduced a European castle, I can't remember where it was, but the ancient castle introduced because of the peculiar style, he remembered it very clearly, and the tour guide also commented greatly, blowing the special features of the castle to the sky, saying that there had been a war here, and the attacking soldiers were ten times larger than the defenders, but they could attack for half a year, and they didn't take it down, and when the battle was over, when the defending soldiers came out to see, they saw that the camp where the attacking side had been, was full of graves, There are countless attacking soldiers who have died!

Li Qin sat up again and drew with his fingers on the couch, which was a prismatic castle with protruding sharp corners on the walls. He drew a picture, and suddenly understood that the protruding angular wall was to allow the defender to carry out multiple blows to the attacker, no matter which wall the attacker attacked from, the back would be exposed to the defenders on the side wall on the other side, and each side was within the range of the bow and arrow, so that the attacker had almost no chance to climb the city wall, either killed by the defenders in front or shot to death by the defenders behind!

This kind of castle is easy to build, and it is easy to expand, as long as you keep building the same shape of the wall along the prismatic wall, and form a sandwich between the walls, you can expand it, and the defensive ability will not only not weaken, but will increase!

Li Qin figured out this, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, lay back on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

The next morning, Li Qin gathered all his men and set off north with Jia Xu to find a place to repair the castle. When he told the story, the soldiers were extremely angry, and they wanted to build a castle on the plain, which was too dangerous to attract Hu cavalry to attack. Angry is angry, but no one has anything to do, and he can't go to Yusuke Theory.

We walked all the way north to the plains. Jia Xu looked at the Great Plains and sighed: "If you cultivate here, it is a good place, there are fertile fields as far as the eye can see, and there are two small rivers over there, which can be called ten thousand acres of fertile land, but if you build a castle here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" ”

Li Qin looked at the Great Plains and nodded: "Yes, there is no danger to rely on, so we have to rely on our own hands to build a danger." So he rode his horse to the river.

When you get to the edge of the small river, you see that the river is turbulent, and then dozens of miles to the west is the Yellow River, but at this time, the Yellow River has not undergone many major diversions in the future, and there is no sediment in this section of the river that flows through Fuping, so it brings a lot of benefits, and belongs to the Hetao Plain. The small river in front of you is called Qingshui River, which is a tributary of the Yellow River.

Li Qin looked at the river and said: "This river is turbulent, and tens of thousands of acres of land on both sides of the river can be irrigated with it, and there is another one over there, which is a little farther away." ”

Jia Xu followed and asked, "But you want to build a castle by the river?" ”

Li Qin turned over and dismounted, pointed to the surrounding terrain and said: "There is a bend in the river here, if you build a castle here, you only need to build two small beacon towers in the middle of the river and the fort, you can take care of all these two directions, not close to the river, you can avoid the enemy digging the river and flooding the fort, our ability can only build the earth fort first, we can't withstand flooding; In the other two directions, it is only necessary to build a few more beacons, so that the enemy can be discovered in advance and ready for battle. ”

Jia Xu hummed and said: "It's not difficult to find out the enemy's situation, but it is impossible to defend the beacon here, and the soldiers can only retreat to the castle when they see the enemy coming. ”

Li Qin squatted down, picked up a stone, drew a figure on the ground, drew the pattern of the fortress he had in mind, and said: "We only need to build such a five-pointed star-shaped castle, the fort wall does not need to be too high, for the time being, two people can be as tall as possible, and dig more trenches vertically and horizontally outside the fort, as long as the enemy soldiers do not exceed 2,000 people, we can defend the castle with 200 people." ”

The soldiers next to him didn't react when they heard what he said earlier, but when they heard the latter sentence, they immediately surrounded them together, looking at the five-pointed star-shaped fort map, everyone was surprised, such a low fort wall with two hundred people, can withstand ten times the enemy? Seems like an exaggeration!

Jia Xu was also slightly surprised, he squatted down, looked at the pattern carefully, and after a while, said: "This is very similar to the horse face city mentioned in "Mozi", the place to defend is not only the city gate, but the entire fortress wall can be defended everywhere. ”

Li Qin said: "Yes, that's what it means, I came up with it last night." He stood up, pointed to the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, and said, "There is a forest over there, and we can cut down big trees, make them into wooden rafts, and then fish them up here to repair the city, use the trunks of the trees as bones, and then use the soil from digging trenches to make meat, so that the castle can be built soon." ”

Feng Cheng, one of the soldiers, will build a house, usually do some important work on the beam, being a soldier is just a sideline, he said: "Junhou, if the fort wall is about one mile long, the two hundred people can complete it in a month, of course, the fort wall can't be too high, like you said two people can be high." If it is higher, it will have to be thickened, and the time will be longer. ”

Jia Xu stood up and said: "If you are sure to repair here, if you repair it like this, you have to start it immediately, the river is thawing, and the spring plowing season in our Fuping has arrived, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recruit people." Well, spring ploughing also represents the spring famine, as long as we can get food, then we must be able to recruit people, at least we can recruit Qiang and Di people. ”

Li Qin said: "Build a basic one first, stand firm on the roots, and in the future, we will have more people, and it will not be too late to expand!" ”

Looking at the river, Li Qin was suddenly full of pride, and he said loudly: "Brothers, let's work together and use our own hands to create a territory that is completely our own!" As he spoke, he raised his right hand in the air.

Everyone was also excited, and when they rejoiced at the thought of their own territory, they all raised their right hands, clapped each other, and shouted encouragement. Jia Xu also learned to look like and high-fived Li Qin. Suddenly, he felt that he had a goal in the future, and a collective to rely on, and he had found an organization!

As soon as the matter is decided, the action will come in and there will be a target, and the speed will naturally be faster. Everyone acted separately, Jia Xu was responsible for all kinds of data, as well as the scheduling of manpower and material resources, while Feng Cheng and the soldiers went to recruit people in Sixiang and eight villages and pulled people to work, while Li Qin went to Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng borrowed grain, of course, he couldn't borrow it in vain, he mortgaged the oversized broken saber to Liu Sheng, saying that if there was food in the future, he would redeem it.

Liu Sheng's injuries were not yet healed, and he was still recuperating in the manor, and he was naturally surprised when he saw Li Qin bring a large broken saber. Sitting on the couch, Liu Sheng looked at the big knife lying horizontally on the ground and said, "Brother, did you seize this knife from the robbers?" I'm afraid you're in trouble. As far as I know, this kind of broadsword can only be made by the Pin Department, which is a strong department of the Di people, and the Brake Owl grabs the pig iron, maybe it is to supply them! ”

Li Qin frowned and said, "The people of the Bin Department are good at crafting weapons, if you have the opportunity, you have to contact them well!" ”

He had an idea in his heart that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely get his hands on this tribe and let them build weapons for themselves, but this idea could only be thought about now, and he didn't have the strength to implement it.

Li Qin told him about getting the treasures of the Shara Owl, this kind of thing does not need to be hidden from Liu Sheng, looking at his appearance, he is a good hand at selling stolen goods, and he can help himself and get rid of this batch of treasures.

Liu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "You got a treasure?" This is black and black, you have to get rid of it quickly, so as not to cause trouble for you if your mouth is not strict. If you want to go to Longxian to sell, I have acquaintances there, I can help you, I will call a henchman to lead the way for you, which can save you a lot of trouble. ”

After Li Qin thanked him, he said goodbye, and discussed that he would leave tomorrow, and let Liu Sheng's henchmen go to Fujiao Village to find him. As for the grain, Liu Sheng agreed to lend it to Li Qin.

After Li Qin left, Liu Sheng looked at the big knife and thought: "I really didn't expect that in just a short time, this Brother Li will build his own fort, and he will definitely become a big man in the local area in the future, I should fully support him, so that I can borrow his light in the future, and I don't have to take some food to heart, and I can't be stingy with Brother Li." ”

Back in the village, Li Qin and his parents told the matter, Li Tian and He heard that he was going to go far away, so they were naturally relieved, but when they saw that their son had a great future, they actually wanted to build their own castle.

Early the next morning, the henchman sent by Liu Sheng arrived, a very shrewd and capable Qiang man in his forties, named Liu Zhongyan, this person who is very good and does business is called Zhongyan, just listening to this name, you can reassure customers.
