Xiang Yu and Liu Bang sharpened their knives and were open-minded.

When Zhang Zhong transmitted the news of the Chu army's invasion to Xianyang, Li Yuan was also engaged in a war without gunpowder.

A large number of Han army prisoners, as well as the ransom paid by Liu Bang, gave the construction of Chang'an City the necessary human and financial support, and was able to build a new city that had not been seen in this era without affecting key projects such as agricultural production, army training, and military restoration in Guanzhong, which was of great significance to Li Yuan.

With the arrival of the first crop of millet in Hanzhong in May, Liu Bang once again ransomed nearly 2,000 soldiers. Qu Zhouhou Lu Ze was also among the redeemed people this time.

The reason why the eldest brother of Liu Bang, the king of Han, was not in the first batch was because the Liyang City he held at that time was still resisting, and when Liyang City was captured by Han Xin, Lu Ze became a prisoner, but Liu Bang couldn't get the money to ransom the hostages.

One Lu Ze is comparable to a thousand Han soldiers.

For such a big fish, of course Li Yuan would not be merciful, and his offer made Liu Bang almost vomit blood in anger. zuihou, it was Lu Pheasant who redeemed Lu Ze with the property of the Lu family, which made the already nominal relationship between Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant more and more bad.

Chang'an City.

After nearly two months of construction, this new city located on the banks of Weishui and Leyou has begun to take shape, eight main water diversion canals from the upper reaches of Weishui like flowers and butterflies into the city, the sound of the water flow is like a beautiful note echo, making people feel refreshed and happy, can not be themselves.

On both sides of the main canal, every other street, there will be a bend, the intersection of the waterway, the future will be built a public bath or toilet, the specific functional distribution, is determined by the population density of the block, at the lower mouth of the bend, there are still a few sewer pipes, the thick bluestone stone stone road is connected by glutinous juice, can withstand the soaking of feces and other sewage for a long time.

Sewer works, main diversion canal works and bluestone street works. The three key projects cost a lot of money. Such thankless projects are rarely done by rulers, because they are long-term facilities that do not produce immediate results or do not feel the benefits for a while.

In the process of advancing these projects, Li Yuan also felt that there was a lot of resistance, which came not only from the outside, but also from the inside.

Heroes, sometimes can't have shortcomings.

Li Yuan's dedication to the construction of Chang'an City did not win him much support. On the contrary, what he received was a crowd of protests.

Long-term vs. short-term. It is a pair of irreconcilable contradictions, especially in the case of a harsh external environment, it is really not easy to adhere to one's ideals.

Li Yuan did not compromise. It is not easy to go back through once, become a famous general, become an emperor, marry seven or eight wives, it is a vulgar bridge section that can no longer be vulgar, only like the first emperor built the Great Wall, leaving a miracle that the Chinese nation will admire after a thousand years, is the most perfect crossing.

With the expansion of the territory, Li Yuan finally stopped looking at and examining himself with the eyes of a sling. He wants to be the strongest of his time. He wants to defeat all his opponents and shape the course of history.

For Li Yuan's obstinate behavior. There are some gossips in the dark speculating that Li Yuan was confused by the little girl Xin Chai, otherwise, how could Li Hou, who has always been wise and decisive, be so eyeless that he spent a lot of money on places that he couldn't see or touch.

Listening to these rumors, Zhang Han, Yang Xiong and several other old people also found Xin Sheng and Li Yuan respectively, and expressed their worries between the lines, and some Guanzhong fathers and elders who thought they were highly respected gathered and came to the construction site of Chang'an City to petition, asking Li Yuan to stop the construction and turn his attention back to political affairs.

wanted to do something good, but was misunderstood to be forgetful, ignoring political affairs, Li Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, more wronged than him was Xin Chai, the little lady was full of personality, in the face of a group of old questions, her eyes were red and she didn't shed tears, and after the fathers left, Xin Chai finally couldn't control it anymore, and the little lady who threw herself into Li Yuan's arms cried a lot.

Lee's cause is a blessing in disguise.

He was frequently lame at Xin Chai's little girl, but he didn't expect that after being wronged this time, his relationship with Xin Chai had an unprecedented major breakthrough.

――。

May-June.

The summer rainy season is coming as scheduled.

The rainy season in Guanzhong is the kind of violent and unreasonable rainstorm, and the entire Weishui basin is immersed in heavy rain, and several tributaries such as Weishui, Jiangshui, and Jingshui soar.

Fortunately, this spring, under the auspices of Li Yuan, with the efforts of Zhang Cheng, Guan Yue and other Qin officials, a number of trunk canals in Guanzhong were reopened, and they played an important role in resisting floods.

Li Yuan is not in Xianyang, located in the Weishui tributary Jingshui on the edge of the city of Liyang was besieged by floods, Li Yuan led the Qin army in the front line of the fight against the flood, this military and civilian work together to fight against heaven and earth, so that the Qin people are more united around Li Yuan.

The Qin army troops that participated in the flood fight were one under Han Xin's command.

Gan Liulang didn't expect that he would see Li Yuan in this situation, and when Li Yuan stood in front of them with his trouser legs and bare feet, Gan Liulang couldn't believe that this was Li Hou, who he thought about day and night and regarded as the object of worship.

"Sons, the flood is monstrous, we are not emotional, we are the soldiers of Daqin, and we are the support of our fathers. Now, it's time for us to step up, are you ready? Li Yuan shouted loudly.

The army in front of them is just a reserve force composed of young soldiers, they have not experienced many battles, and the only battlefield experience of some soldiers may be the battle of conquering Liyang, but this kind of battle of victory and pursuit is unlikely to bring much experience to the soldiers.

A tough battle that can turn a recruit into a pawn.

It can exercise the mental will of soldiers and let them learn not to give up when they are critical.

This battle against the flood disaster came at the right time.

"Ready. Even if we die, we will not retreat! Gan Rokuro shouted loudly, and his slightly immature voice revealed the pride of a young man.

Soldiers died in a hundred battles, and strong men returned in ten years.

Li Yuan Xunsheng saw a somewhat familiar face, and the people and things in his memory resurfaced in his heart, Gan Houbo, Zhou Xing, and Wang Shang, these brothers who fought side by side in Yongqiu City, now, some died on the battlefield, and some were still under his command, thinking of this, Li Yuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Out of the queue. Newspaper name? Li Yuan nodded appreciatively and cast an encouraging glance at Gan Liulang.

"Gan Rokuro. The people of Qishan, my father Gan Houbo, fought in the Battle of White Horse. Gan Rokuro raised his head high, puffed out his chest, and replied loudly.

"Uncle Gan. You are the son of Gan Houbo, really? Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that he would find the blood left by his old subordinates in his army.

"Li Hou, please look, this is my Fu roster." Gan Liulang took out the Fu certificate representing his identity from his bosom and stepped forward and handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuanqiang suppressed his excitement, Gan Liulang stood in front of him, living like a young version of Gan Houbo, with an upright temperament, a broad body, and big eyes, all of which made Li Yuan recall the bits and pieces of the year.

"Gan Liulang, when did you join the army, and what position does you hold in the army now?" Li Yuan patted the young man on the shoulder and asked.

"Li Hou, who joined the army in December last year, is now the leader of the Liyang army, and has more than 30 brothers under his command." Gan Rokuro proudly pointed behind him.

Where he came out, a group of teenagers looked enviously at Gan Liulang who was talking to Li Yuan, at this time, even if he was against him, he was convinced that what Gan Liulang said before was not a lie.

"Good. Take your brother and set off with me! Li Yuan shouted loudly. A vigorous teenager and a vigorous team are the future of the Qin army and the hope of the Qin country.

"No!" Gan Liulang bowed his head and led the order to enter the ranks.

In the heavy rain, Li Yuan led a group of young soldiers to fight for more than ten days, and finally blocked all the places destroyed by the war on the walls of Liyang, the old capital of the Qin State, before the arrival of Hongfeng.

When the biggest flood peak in Jingshui came, Li Yuan stood shoulder to shoulder with Gan Liulang and others, and used his shoulders and hands to reduce the impact of the natural disaster to a controllable level.

――。

Liyang is fighting with the sky, and the rest of Guanzhong is the same.

At the beginning of June, the rainy weather finally left, and the sun peeked out of the clouds, bringing wisps of sunshine that pleased the people of Guanzhong.

Thanks to the victory in the fight against the disaster, the winter wheat in Guanzhong did not suffer much damage, and the green wheat seedlings are thriving in the fields on both sides of the Weishui, in the Zhengguoqu irrigation area that has been re-excavated and irrigated, and in the grasslands of the Wuding River Valley.

With sufficient seeds, coupled with the experience of trial planting last year, the industrious farmers and healthy women in Guanzhong are full of vigor to cultivate the fields, and the reoccupation of Guanzhong by the Qin army also allows them to let go of the worries that they may suffer from the war again, as long as it is another three or four months, the wheat will begin to tassel and fill, and then send white wheat noodles to the fathers and elders in Guanzhong, and the real harvest season in Guanzhong will come.

At that time, Li Yuan could rely on the huge advantage of the granary in Guanzhong, and the continuous supply could support the Qin army to fight continuously for a longer time, and it was no longer a dream for the Qin army to send troops to Guandong again.

Xianyang, Changshi Mansion.

Chen Ping rubbed the green tendons on his forehead, frowned, and handed Zhang Zhong's secret letter to Li Yuan, who had just returned from Liyang, the news of Xiang Yu's large-scale invasion made him feel a huge pressure, and he felt that the military situation was urgent, while continuously sending scouts to inquire about the specific situation of the Chu army, he hurriedly reported to Li Yuan the latest situation in Kwantung.
