Time passed unconsciously, and three years passed, and during the three years, Huang Shang has not left Yizhou.

It is said that the Shu road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky, which shows the sinister traffic conditions. The reason why Huang Shang has not left Yizhou in the past three years is that he has been spending a lot of money on building bridges and paving roads.

The lime plant has been built a few years ago, and it has been used in Jiaozhou, Jiangdong and Jingzhou long before Yizhou. Because of the difficulty of entering Shuzhou, Huang Shang directly transferred more than 100 workers from the lime factory in Jiaozhou, and then set up factories in various parts of Yizhou, let them be foremen, teach the newly recruited workers how to make lime, and then set up some engineering teams, build bridges and pave roads, and build some houses by the way.

In Yizhou, because of the squeezing of the Asian continental plate by the Indian Ocean plate, the frequency of earthquakes will be relatively high, and Huang Shang has to guard against it.

However, the architectural capacity of this era is limited, and it is already very difficult for Huang Shang to make lime, and he really can't make reinforced concrete, so there is no need to consider high-rise buildings, but there is no problem in building a bungalow or a two-story small building.

Do not seek a 70-year shelf life, can maintain 40 years of strength, anyway, after the economic development, you can also remove the cover, the premise is to supervise the quality, so as not to appear tofu slag project.

When Huang Shang watched the news, he made a bamboo instead of a place where he should have tied steel bars, but he choked him with anger.

This kind of person who has a black conscience will be unjustly panicked if he does not go to hell after death.

Huang Shang categorically did not allow this situation to occur under his rule, and he sent a large number of people to secretly supervise the project in the past three years, but whenever there was a little problem, he would immediately stop it, and then dispose of the relevant responsible persons.

After Huang Shang dealt with four or five cases at first, there were no more problems after that.

Therefore, people, who are selfish creatures, must set up laws and regulations, and even cool laws to restrain them, otherwise the bottom line of human evil is unimaginable.

In addition to building bridges, paving roads and building houses, Huang Shang also found local water conservancy experts in Yizhou to conduct water conservancy surveys, hoping to carry out the overall water conservancy engineering system in Yizhou.

Now it is far from enough to have only one Dujiangyan project in Yizhou, there are many mountains and rivers in Sichuan, and the water resources are unbalanced, Huang Shang hopes that through systematic engineering, the entire Yizhou will not have drought or flood.

However, water conservancy projects are not a matter of a few years, it requires the efforts of one generation or even several generations, and most importantly, money.

Huang Shang has felt that the money is not enough in the past two years.

is also a large territory, a large population, and a lot of places to spend money, which makes him a little unable to make ends meet.

Fortunately, high-yield grain can solve the problem of eating for the people under his rule, plus raising chickens, ducks, geese, intensive farming, etc., anyway, in the years of his governance, there have been no disasters such as locust plagues, but with the degree of development is getting higher and higher year by year, the balance of the natural ecology has gradually appeared a little bad.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and there are too many things that give Huang Shang a headache, but fortunately, he only needs to grasp the main contradiction now, and the secondary contradiction can be solved slowly.

Just when Huang Shang was engaged in construction in Yizhou in the past three years, the war between Cao Cao and the Yuan family finally ended, and Cao Cao smoothly unified the north and occupied the most prosperous territory in the world.

Originally.

Now the most prosperous place in the world has long become the south controlled by Huang Shang, and now more than half of the population of the entire Han Dynasty is under his rule, and he has formed an absolute suppression of Cao Cao in terms of size, and now Cao Cao's only confidence is probably that he has more cavalry, thinking that Huang Shang cannot take the initiative to fight with him, otherwise if he leaves the boat, the southern infantry will be crushed by his cavalry.

Cao Cao would have no problem thinking so, before the advent of thermal weapons, almost all monarchs who unified the world fought from north to south, with the only exception being the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was great, but not much is said here.

In short, in the era of cold weapons, whoever has cavalry has the strongest ground troops, Cao Cao, as the overlord of the north, of course he has the confidence of being the first in the world.

Although the cavalry on the Xiliang side is very powerful, as long as the city is built and defended, and the walls are clear, those cavalry can only look at the city and sigh, and Cao Cao does not think that Ma Chao Xiaoer can pose a threat to him, his son Ma Teng is now an official in the court, responsible for guarding the palace, I think that Ma Chao Xiaoer will never blow up the thorns, but that Han Sui is resourceful and should not be underestimated.

The north was established, and Cao Cao also began to consider the direction of his troops.

Now Huang Shang in the south has occupied Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, is his biggest enemy, Jiangdong and some areas of Jingzhou have the Yangtze River, which is not easy to fight, but Jingzhou is also partially exposed to his iron hooves, such as Xinye.

But now there is no need to fight hard, he has to deal with one person first, that is, Liu Bei, who caused him chaos before and after the Battle of Guandu, and later fled to Qingzhou (Luo Ping'an in the movie is indeed pointing in the direction of Qingzhou on the map).

Now that he has unified the north, Liu Bei, the villain who occupies the magpie's nest, should also deal with it.

In March, Liu Bei, who got the news, was unwilling to be killed by Cao Cao, and immediately recruited troops and horses in the local area, and recruited the military advisor Zhuge Liang (don't be serious) with Langya State, who was still in Xuzhou.

But when Cao Cao's army arrived, even if Zhuge Liang, a military advisor, went around to fight fires, Liu Bei was still beaten and fled in embarrassment.

This escape, he fled directly to Xinye in Jingzhou, wanting to defect to Huang Shang.

I don't know how Liu Bei escaped here through the entire territory of Cao Cao's territory?

It's fascinating.

Coincidentally, at this time, Xinye's guard was Luo Ping'an.

Originally, after Luo Ping'an realized his dream of getting ahead, he could lie on the merit book and eat until he died with his ability, but seeing Zhao Zilong's repeated achievements, Luo Ping'an was not convinced by his little brother after all, so he also wanted to fight. A few years ago, after occupying Jingzhou, he took the initiative to ask Ying to guard Xinye and guard against Cao Cao.

At that time, Huang Shang was a little hesitant, Luo Ping'an's ability was really not enough, but after all, he was a veteran who followed him from the beginning, so it was not good to chill his heart.

After thinking about it again, Huang Shang agreed, but sent him some capable officials and cadres trained from Jiaozhou in the early days to assist him in guarding Xinye.

In the past few years, because Cao Cao has always focused on the northernmost part, Luo Ping'an has made Xinyeshou impregnable, and then ......

A year ago, Luo Ping'an got a group of musketeers, a total of 5,000 people.

When Luo Ping'an saw the power of the musket, he knew that his lord would definitely rule the world, and even if Cao Cao had an army of 100,000, he was confident that he would defeat Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao didn't wait, but waited for Liu Bei's three brothers.

When Liu Bei's messenger took the initiative to express his intention to take refuge, Luo Ping'an sneered and drove the messenger back directly: "Tell Liu Bei that he is the imperial uncle of the emperor surnamed Liu, and my father-in-law is a thief in the eyes of the emperor surnamed Liu, and he will take refuge in the thief?" When I'm a fool! ”

The messenger was dumbfounded.

He really wanted to say that his lord had been chased and killed by Cao Cao and had no way to escape, if he didn't take refuge in Huang Shang, there would be only one way to die, and it was better to take refuge in Huang Shang, the 'anti-thief', than to die.

But he didn't expect Luo Ping'an, the guard of Xinye City, to not take his lord as a dish, and directly rejected the lord's refuge.

The messenger returned to Liu Bei's tent, which was stationed thirty miles outside the city, and said Luo Ping'an's words again.

After Liu Bei heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Could it be that the sky is going to kill me?" ”

Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "Luo Ping'an of the straight mother thief!" Big brother, what kind of morality do you talk about at this time, and let my old Zhang lead his troops to rush over, take Xinye City, and then kill Luo Ping'an, and give the eldest brother anger! ”

"No!" Liu Bei had a compassionate expression: "How can I kill innocents indiscriminately because of my brother, if the world knows, what should I think of Liu Bei?" This must not be done. ”

“……”

Zhang Fei understood, as long as this matter is not known to the world, then he can do it.

Guan Yu on the side squinted his eyes and seemed to understand.

Brothers for many years, what does the eldest brother think, can they still know how to be brothers!

Zhuge Liang looked at the reaction of the three brothers, and regretted a little in his heart: Did I follow the wrong person?

Half of the world was already won by the 'anti-thief' Huang Shang, and now the north is also owned by Cao Cao, and in the Han world, only Xiliang still has a little territory, and what does his lord have now?

Two brothers, 3,000 remnants of the defeated general, plus him as a military division, no matter how you look at it, it will not be much better than bandits and bandits. How can we grab a piece of territory in this world where the ownership of the world is almost a foregone conclusion?

Zhuge Liang couldn't think of a way to break his head.

Now it's too late to flee to Xiliang, and the generals who defend the city under Huang Shang refuse to take them in, and the fierce pursuit of Cao Cao's army behind them is a finished situation.

Unless......

Zhuge Liang glanced at the three brothers again, and it seemed that there was only one way to seize Xinye.

Grab Xinye, if Cao Cao dares to attack, he will immediately abandon the city and flee, anyway, the situation will not be worse; If Cao Cao had concerns and didn't dare to call, then the remaining problem was to negotiate with Huang Shang before Huang Shang called.

As long as the opposing position between Huang Shang and Uncle Huang is dispelled, and Huang Shang is allowed to leave them to guard Xinye, then there is still hope.

If not......

Alas!

Zhuge Liang sighed: I shouldn't have gone out of the mountain.

Soon after, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu took advantage of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's rest to go straight to Xinye with 2,500 soldiers.

Xinye is just a small city, although tens of thousands of troops can be stationed outside the city, but long before the messenger was sent, Guan Yu had already sent scouts to reconnoiter the surroundings of Xinye.

Outside Xinye City, there is no barracks at all, so all the garrisons should be in the city, but Xinye, a small city, can station 5,000 soldiers in the sky, and the city walls are low, so it can't block the shooting of bows and arrows at all, and it is extremely easy to attack and difficult to defend.

Although Guan Zhang and the others only brought 2,500 soldiers, these people all had rich combat experience, even if there were 5,000 defenders in Xinye City, what were they afraid of, and it was only a matter of time before they could break through.

The confident Guan and Zhang led their troops to Xinye City, Zhang Fei rode out of the crowd on a black horse, and shouted: "Luo Ping'an, quickly open the city and surrender, but spare you from dying!" Otherwise, when the city is broken, it will be the day when you will be the leader! ”

Luo Ping'an stood at the head of the city, saw the thousands of soldiers led by Guan Zhang, and sneered: "Sure enough, it has bad intentions." ”

As soon as they raised their hands, hundreds of musketeers pointed their guns at them.

"I'll count three and leave Xinye immediately, otherwise don't blame Ben for being unkind!" Luo Ping'an shouted.

Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "You thief bird! Second brother, let me rush for a while! ”

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, saw the strange weapons of the defenders on the city wall, and asked, "Third brother, do you know what weapons the defenders are holding?" ”

"I haven't seen it." Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "No matter what it is, it can't stop my old Zhang Yispear!" Second brother, are you rushing? If you don't rush me, you can rush it. ”

Guan Yu took a deep breath, clenched the big knife in his hand, and said, "Rush into battle with Yide for my brother!" ”

"Hahaha......, good! Today, I will fight with my second brother! Kill—"

Guan Yu shouted: "Kill-"

"Kill—"

Two thousand five hundred soldiers shouted and rushed towards Shinno Castle, making a loud noise, startling away the beasts in the woods outside the city.

Luo Ping'an sneered and waved his hand: "Fire!" ”
