Liu Bangjunchen was at a loss.

The competition for survival in the animal kingdom is cruel and bloody, without the slightest emotion. The battle for hegemony between the princes is also thrilling and dazzling.

From the pavilion chief to the king of Han, Liu Bang spent three full years, and the king of Han to Caokou, but it only took a little more than a month, such a huge change is really cruel for an old man of fifty and two. In this race of the jungle, Liu Bang and the others have fallen from the top of the food chain to the end.

Loss of turf.

Desertion intensified.

More than 10,000 troops of Han Wangxin and Liu Jia retreated all the way from Wancheng, and the strength gradually decreased to more than 7,000 people, of which deserters accounted for more than half.

After enjoying the prosperity of big cities such as Xianyang, Xicheng, and Yingdu, many Han soldiers instinctively felt unaccustomed to living a hard life in the mountains.

"King, when I came back from Pengcheng this time, when I passed through Chen County, I met Ding Gong, the general of the Chu army, and after some talking, Ding Gong complained a lot, we may be able to befriend him, so as to leave a way back." Seeing that everyone was disappointed and helpless, Zhang Liang said.

Notches are always found from within.

Xiang Bo is like this, and Ding Gong is the same.

failed to become the new five tiger generals in the Chu army, and his nephew Ji Bu is not very good at the moment, Ding Gong's mentality is gradually unbalanced, and the rough Xiang Yu is not aware of this subtle change in the mentality of the generals in the army, while Zhang Liang sensitively discovered Ding Gong's strangeness.

Befriend Ding Gong.

This is undoubtedly news-sounding news, Ding Gong's defense area is on the edge of Yingchuan, once Shangcai is captured by the Qin army, the Han army can also retreat to the area of Chen County to escape temporarily.

Liu Bang's eyes lit up. But then he talked gloomily again: "Ding Gong, he is just a partial general in the Chu army, and he should not be of great use, as for the benefits given to him, Mr. will deal with it with affection, after all, we are also in difficulty now, and we must first pay more urgent attention to a little support." ”

Liu Bang replied very tactfully, but Zhang Liang had already heard it, and Ding Gong could just deal with it a little. There is no need to spend too much energy, and with the current income of the Han Kingdom, if you don't use it urgently, you won't be able to live a life.

"The affairs of the army will be handed over to Liu Jia and Brother Han, no matter what, the soldiers must not be allowed to run again, even if they fight hard, this time they must train a strong army." Liu Bang's eyes showed a bit of determination. After losing consecutive battles, there is still this perseverance to persevere, and I have to admit that Lao Liu is indeed admirable.

"The king's words. We wrote it down. Zhang Liang lowered his head with red eyes and said. Behind him, Liu Jia and Liu Fei also looked like they blamed themselves.

As for Han Wangxin in Zuihou, although his head is lowered, his eyes are looking left and right. Regarding Liu Bang's words, this Korean descendant obviously disapproves.

A down-and-out Liu Bang who has repeatedly suffered defeats, in the eyes of Han Wangxin. The status and mystery that have long been restored, in Shang Cai's Han army, Han Wangxin's soldiers have more than 3,000 soldiers, accounting for almost a little more than half of the Han army, plus Yingchuan is the territory of the old Han, Han Wangxin's appeal is obviously stronger than Liu Bang.

Guanzhong at the end of September.

Autumn is high and cool, the wind is beautiful, a trace of northwest wind from the grassland began to hit the south, after a bloody battle with the Huns at the same time last year, this year's Guanzhong land is calm like a still lake.

Chang'an New Town.

It has begun to take shape, and it is like a rapidly growing child, constantly absorbing the mother's milk while also developing at a dazzling speed.

The most eye-catching thing about the new city is not the clean and tidy streets, not the lively business district, but the forest of steles standing on the high hills of Leyouyuan.

This is a stone stele forest that makes all the Qin soldiers have a solemn heart, different from those simple rough lines carved process, all the bluestone are quarried from the depths of Taibai Mountain, the highest peak of the Qinling Mountains, and then transported to Chang'an City by ship, a stone tablet records a war, but also commemorates those soldiers who died in the Qin revival war.

"Let the glory be with you, let future generations never forget you, let the people of Great Qin live endlessly, and enjoy peace forever!" At the end of the stele forest, a sentence that Li Yuan said was engraved word by word.

Glory is yours.

Because you paid with your lives.

Everyone who comes here will not forget you, because you are the long scroll of Great Qin's history, and as soon as it is unfolded, you can hear your shouts of battle.

Gan Houbo, Zhou Xing, and Han Si, as well as the soldiers of the Qin army who did not leave their names, their bones were all moved here and buried, and every spring when the flowers are in full bloom, many Qin people will come here to pay tribute to these heroic martyrs who fought for the country.

The stele forest was speechless, but he always reminded every Qin person that today's peace was not easy to come by. When the Qin army returning from the east passed through Chang'an, they would proudly line up and stop in front of the forest of steles, leaving the memorial of their comrades-in-arms here.

Here, there are brothers who have lived and died together, comrades-in-arms who have handed over their backs to you, and there is an indelible friendship that belongs to men.

East City.

The Hu merchants had taken over most of the shops, and these merchants from the kingdom of Anxi had brought to Qin the wine and seeds that were popular in the Mediterranean, as well as other exotic objects brought from the far west, the price of which had increased more than ten times compared to the place of origin, but was still in short supply.

Of course, the trade was relative, and when the Huja returned, the mysterious silk of the East that they took with them would also cause a loot in the place west of the rest.

The interests are in danger, judging from the intelligence that Bai Guangji came back from the Mobei grassland, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Maodun has changed the direction of attack after hitting a big nail in the south, and now the Huns' cavalry has put the target of the raid on the Dayue clan, a tribe that is constantly moving westward.

At the northern end of the Great Desert, the Xiongnu army and the Yueshi army continued the game of chasing me, and the situation in the western border became more and more tense, but the number of Hu merchants in the Guanzhong area did not decrease but increased.

City.

It is planned as a residential area, and the layout here is designed according to the drawings of Xin Chai and Li Yuan, and is divided into four large blocks: Changle Fang, Anle Fang, Thanksgiving Fang, and Xuefang Fang, each block of civilians living in different neighborhoods, they are classified according to their respective occupations, through this semi-compulsory and semi-voluntary arrangement, the energy consumption of the city can be saved to the greatest extent, and the most rapid response time can also be provided for emergency situations.

Eight main aqueducts run through the city, starting with the residential area of Xishi, where the clean and clear waters of the Wei River flow through the streets and alleys.

Let Chang'an City have its own bloodline, and this innovative idea proposed by Li Yuan in urban design will undoubtedly leave a strong mark in the history of China's urban development.

China's cities have always paid little attention to drinking water sanitation, especially in the selection of drinking water sources, generally based on well water, eating well water, washing well water, and even cleaning up excrement, is also using well water, this ancient method of multi-purpose of a well has been used until modern times.

Old habits can be changed, especially after having the supremacy, Li Yuan's orders are almost equivalent to holy decrees, and for the Qin people, the words of Shenwu Hou have surpassed most of the first emperors of the Qin state, reaching the point of being compared with the first emperor of the ages.

Li Yuan can tolerate the lack of rubber tires in vehicles in this era, and can endure the lack of rapid transportation such as airplanes and high-speed trains, but he can't tolerate the sanitary conditions that can only be simply washed in the bath.

The completion of baths and toilets one by one, so that the people living in Chang'an enjoy extraordinary preferential treatment, this kind of preferential treatment for the civilians of the Qin State, the experience is more profound, because, every year they will get a free bath twice a year, which is like letting them go to heaven once for the lower class people who often do not wash for a year.

It doesn't matter if your status is high or low, whether your profession is expensive or low, in the case of nakedness, everyone is the same identity - bather.

You can talk about idle things, you can let go of your obsession and talk to strangers, and you can rub the stiff muscles and bones on your body fiercely.

As soon as the new thing of the bathhouse appeared, it was immediately accepted by Hu Shang, for them who often had a fox smell and were not liked by the women in Guanzhong, after the busy bargaining, they were able to wash their whole bodies clean, and then go to the admiring woman to listen to a small song and sing a few words of hometown poetry, which is the most beautiful haode moment of the day.

Compared with the ordinary people of the Qin State who need to queue up and pay money to wash once, Li Yuan's Shenwu Marquis Mansion, Chen Ping's Changshi Mansion and Chang'an's important officials' mansions all have special washing rooms, which is Li Yuan's special request, when it was first built, including Xin Sheng, the overseer, they all expressed their incomprehension of Li Yuan's insistence on building bathhouses in twenty mansions, but now, they are completely convinced by this advanced plan.

Being able to have a mansion with a special bath room has become a new goal and pursuit for officials at all levels of the Qin State, and in terms of urgency, it is even more important than promotion, after all, no man can endure the daily complaints of the female relatives in the family, this is not complaining, this is talking about your incompetence.

Privilege and equality.

It's the whole story of life's struggle.

Li Yuan hopes to use this kind of silent change to inspire and guide the Qin people in Guanzhong to care more about the land under their feet, and also let the people who have just defected to the Qin State have more sense of identity and belonging. (To be continued......)
