When the plan for building the city came out, Chu He quickly found the three uncles Chu Shuang, who were familiar with the nearby terrain, Jiang Wei and Chu Wu, who were in charge of military affairs, to discuss the construction of the city wall towers.

Such a taboo and beheading matter, even Chu Shuang, an honest farmer before, did not raise any objections.

In addition to the improvement of Chu Shuang's courage now, it can also be seen how pessimistic and optimistic the people in the mountains and wilderness are about the current Shu Kingdom.

Only Chu He knows that now that the new emperor of Great Shu has succeeded to the throne, it seems that the people are unstable, and there are many military disasters on the border, but the strength of Shu is still extremely stable.

Zhuge Wenxiang, in charge of the civil and military authority of Great Shu, after going south to quell the rebellion, he can also pour the power of the country into the Northern Expedition, which shows that the strength of Shu is now still above the Great Wei!

Although the history books said that Liu Chan was extremely unbearable and the mud could not support the wall, this was by no means the case, and Liu Chan was probably a wise and foolish person. Not to mention anything else, he can spend the rest of his life in peace after the fall of Shu, which can be seen.

Knowing that he had just ascended the throne and had no prestige, Liu Chan wanted to compete with Zhuge Wen for power, which was really an act of death.

Even if Zhuge Wen is loyal to Shu State, the generals and ministers under his command do not want to see Liu Chan do this, and even it is possible to change the emperor.

The real history is by no means as beautiful as recorded in the history books.

Zhuge Wenxiang may be really loyal to Liu Bei and the Han family, but he may not be loyal to Liu Chan, but Liu Chan has no threat to him, so he left a good name.

In fact, in the history books, Liu Bei no longer fully trusted him in his later years.

Zhuge Liang of Liu Bei Group and Xun Yu of Cao Cao Group are very similar, what they have in common is that they have political ideas and political ideals, and the ideals of the two people happen to be the same, that is, Kuang Fu Han Dynasty to restore the Han Dynasty.

And the leaders of these two groups, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, are also very similar, what is it? They also had this ideal in the early stage, and they are all gone in the later stage.

Liu Bei in the later period, the idea was to divide one side and become the emperor of the soil.

It can be seen that Zhuge Wenxiang may not be willing to be constrained by Liu Chan, and only be the overlord of one side.

What major event in Houshu, such as the successive Northern Expeditions, such as the use of Jiang Wei, etc., is not the final say of Zhuge Wenxiang? Which thing is Liu Chan's decision?

Therefore, at this time, Chu He will never easily raise the banner of anti-Shu, and will only act secretly, even if he decides to build a city wall, he will deliberately control the scale and control it within the scope of Changding Township, so as to minimize the stimulation of Shu.

When the Northern Expedition of Shu exhausted its national strength, the hinterland of the Central Plains was full of complaints, and this was the real time to oppose Shu.

Chu Shuang was in charge of prospecting and mining, and he was quite familiar with the situation nearby, and after looking at the towers of the city wall drawn by Chu He on the map for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "It is necessary to build the city wall. ”

"Although we have the hidden abyss guard in hand, the entire Changding Township is not in danger to defend, and a large number of refugees are pouring into Changding Township, and it is difficult for our people to stop them. In fact, many people in the villages complained to us that their fields and food had been destroyed by the refugees. ”

"Some refugees even went directly into the villages to loot, causing harm to many villagers. ”

After reading the map, Chu Wu frowned and said: "This city wall, but half of Changding Township is included, including Chenjia Village, Hujiazhuang, etc., and the construction of the city wall also occupies their land, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince them." ”

"Especially Hujiazhuang, the relationship with us is not very good, and the Hu family will never watch us occupy their place. ”

Although Hu Tong died, the accumulation of the Hu family is still there, and there are some connections in Datong County, even if he moves out of Hujiazhuang, he will also be taken care of by his henchmen in the village.

If the people of the Hu family knew that Hujiazhuang was annexed by Qinghe Village, they would definitely not give up, and maybe a chapter would be handed over, which would attract the attention of the government.

Chu He didn't care about Chu Wu's words, he dared to kill Hu Tong, let alone a mere Hujiazhuang.

He waved his hand and said: "Hujiazhuang is not worried, now Qianyuan only wants to know what flaws and deficiencies there are in this city wall plan." ”

Chu Wu still said: "Even if you ignore Hujiazhuang, but the other villages have a complicated relationship with us, and now there are many children in the Qianyuan Guard, if you forcibly occupy their homes...... I'm afraid that people's hearts will be unstable. ”

Chu He said with a smile: "Who said that they want to occupy their homes, but they are just protected, whose land should belong or whose own, and there are not many big households in the anti-normal township." Of course, if there is a rich man who is not benevolent, Qianyuan will not be soft-hearted. ”

Chu Shuang suddenly said at this time: "Second brother, don't worry, in fact, the hearts of everyone in Changding Township are towards Qianyuan, and other villages don't know how much they envy our Qinghe Village, as long as Qianyuan releases a message, people from other villages will enthusiastically rent the land to us." ”

"The current refugees are already difficult to cope, and if the situation continues to deteriorate, without the protection of our Qianyuanwei, there will be no land to cultivate. ”

Jiang Wei kept looking at the map, now he is no longer the pedantic warrior who only thinks about revenge before, hearing Chu Quan and Chu Shuang say this, he suddenly interjected and said: "Those who become big things are not informal, if you want to develop and expand Qinghe Village and enhance the strength of Qianyuanwei, expansion is inevitable." ”

His voice sank: "It's best if they are willing to surrender, if they don't want to, they can't help it!"

"Second brother, your fortress-style city wall is really ingenious and difficult to capture, and the city wall that is ten meters high and five meters wide can barely be used to resist the enemy army. ”

"But!" Jiang Wei suddenly changed his words: "To build such a city wall, it takes a lot of time and requires a lot of labor. Moreover, has the second brother ever asked for the help of a priest who knows how to build a city wall?"

Chu He was slightly stunned: "Labor is not a problem, now there are refugees everywhere, as long as you send people to recruit one or two, you can gather 100,000 laborers in a short time, and our food can last for a few months, and then try to buy food from other places and come back." ”

"When the walls are built, we can take them if they don't want to leave, because there are wilderness everywhere anyway, and we can open up fields for them to cultivate. ”

He paused slightly, and then said, "But to build a city, do you still need the help of Fang Shi?"

Jiang Wei smiled bitterly: "Second brother, you don't know anything. ”

"A city wall like Datong County relies on its own solidity and tallness. This is just the most ordinary city wall, which can only be used to defend against the invasion of ordinary warriors and ordinary beasts. ”

"Second brother, the ten-meter-high and five-meter-wide city wall you built in Changding Township is no problem to resist ordinary bandits, for those who are really strong, there is not much difference from an ordinary wall, not to mention that the seven-rank god of war who can cut mountains into a platform and has the power to move mountains and seas is the six-rank Xuandan Grand Master, who can cut the city wall with one sword. ”

There are no outsiders here, and Jiang Wei is not worried that his words will affect the prestige of Chu He, and continued: "Second brother, your city wall is intended to be used to protect the Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Barbarian army. ”

"Among them, there must be five or six strong people, and there may even be a seven-grade god of war, if it is built like this, it is better not to build it, and it will cost financial and material resources in vain. ”

Chu He frowned: "According to the eldest brother's wishes, ask Fang Shi to build a city wall to resist the destruction of these strong men?"

Chu Wu and Chu Shuang are actually inferior to Chu He in this regard, at least Chu He has also seen the power and means of Fang Shi and literati, so he can't interject.

Jiang Wei nodded: "Fang Shi is divided into Mo family, Legalist family, medical family, Yin and Yang family, and so on. ”

"Generally speaking, if you want the city wall to be stronger, you need the help of the Yin and Yang family, using the power of the five elements of Yin and Yang, combining the power of the city wall with the power of the terrain, making the city wall unbreakable, and it can also have a great ability to resist spells. ”

"The Mo family's conformist technique can also greatly improve the protection of the city wall. The Legalist Fangshi can lay down a large array to improve the attack power, and the soldiers also have special means to install various protective equipment on the city wall and so on. ”

Jiang Wei paused: "It is said that the most powerful city wall can even combine the power of the five elements of yin and yang, combined with the power of the Mo family and the Legalist array, to form a super array that can envelop the entire city, there are no loopholes in the sky and on the ground, even the seven gods of war are difficult to break!"

Chu He smiled bitterly: "According to what the eldest brother said, isn't this city wall like chicken ribs? Where did I get so many alchemists to help build the walls?"

Jiang Wei shook his head: "Not necessarily. In fact, if the second brother is willing, he will definitely be able to find a monk to help! If there is a monk to help, the construction of the city wall can be twice the result with half the effort. ”

Chu He was stunned for a moment: "Where to find the alchemists?" Even in Qinzhou City, I see that the city wall does not have any magic circle atmosphere, relying on its own solidity, it can be seen that there are not many alchemists in Qinzhou City. ”

Jiang Wei's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Second brother, as well as the second uncle and third uncle, have you ever known the specific situation of Chu Qianzhong Chu Blacksmith?"

Chu He suddenly groaned, he already knew that Chu Qianzhong had a lot of secrets, such as his wave-breaking swordsmanship, as well as the blacksmiths he found Jiao Yong, Gu Gao and others, plus the craftsmen who were now hiding murderous aura, they all knew that Chu blacksmith had a big secret.

Could it be that Jiang Wei knew the origin of the blacksmith Chu?

Can the Chu blacksmith find Fang Shi to help?

Chu Wu was a little puzzled at this time: "Chu blacksmith settled in our Qinghe Village more than ten years ago, and later found a daughter-in-law in the village. ”

Chu He also asked strangely, "What did the eldest brother find?"

Jiang Wei hesitated slightly, and finally nodded: "Where did I find a special mark in the blacksmith shop, I have seen it in the book of the master, if I am not mistaken, it should be the battle talisman of the Demon Army." ”

"Demon Army?"

Chu He looked at Jiang Wei in amazement.

Jiang Wei nodded: "There are not many people who know the origin of the Demon Army, and my master happens to be one of them." ”

"In fact, in this world, there are not only our three kingdoms of Shu, Wei, and Wu, outside the three kingdoms, there are incomparably vast regions, where all kinds of powerful demon beasts live, and even demon spirits, which we call the demon world. ”

"The demon world is huge, endless, the territory under the feet of our Three Kingdoms is just an isolated island in the Demon Realm, legend has it that there are many places like our Three Kingdoms in other places. ”

Jiang Wei's face became serious, and he slowly said these secret things that Chu He had never heard of: "The demon world and our Three Kingdoms world are not directly connected, I don't know how to describe it, but the master said that the demon clan needs to pass through the characteristic portal to enter our Three Kingdoms world. ”

"In order to prevent the invasion of the demon clan, there are many strongmen in the Three Kingdoms, as well as unknown armies, who are responsible for guarding the portal. ”

"The 100,000 Demon Army is the army responsible for guarding the Demon Gate. It is composed of sinners and heirs of the previous dynasty, all of whom are slaves. ”

"After more than ten years of fighting with the invading demon clan before the demon army, he finally won a crushing victory, was blessed by the luck of heaven and earth, and restored his free body. The remnants of the soldiers are hidden separately, and they no longer need to take care of the demon gate. ”

Chu He was shocked.

Jiang Wei's words made him puzzled and puzzled before, and he got an answer in an instant.

Why is Blacksmith Chu a crippled swordsman, why does he have a six-grade sword spectrum, why there are demon beasts infested on Huya Ridge, why Huang Zhong and Gan Ning need to guard Huya Ridge, etc.

The answer to all of this is only two words, demon clan!

The demon army can repel the demon clan, get the blessing of heaven and earth's luck, and restore the free body, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, I am afraid that it is the same, because the luck is negative, so they have to guard the Huya Ridge to prevent the invasion of the demon clan, the ultimate goal must be to eliminate the negative luck and restore freedom!

Chu Wu and Chu Shuang were even more shocked at this time, and they were speechless for a long time before they said in a trembling voice: "You...... Are you saying that Blacksmith Chu is the one who sets the demon army?"

Jiang Wei nodded: "It's not surprising. At the beginning, there was no one out of 100,000 demon troops, and the rest were scattered everywhere looking for a place to live in seclusion. ”

"There are many talents in the demon army, especially the sons of the previous dynasty who contended with a hundred schools, it is not as good as the current Confucianism and Taoism, so there are a lot of scholars in the army composed of these sinners of the previous dynasty, even if there are only 10,000 people left, I am afraid that there are many scholars or their descendants. ”

"Since Blacksmith Chu can find a craftsman to help, it means that he has a connection with the remnants of the Demon Determination Army......"

Chu Wu and Chu Shuang now both knew what Jiang Wei meant, Chu Wu's face changed a few times, and he hesitated and said: "If the Demon Army is so powerful, it is an army that can fight with the Demon Clan, recruit more Demon Army to Qinghe Village, in case it ......"

The implication of his words was that he was worried that the Demon Army would take over the dominance.

Jiang Wei and Chu He swore to him, he was also half of the Chu family, and he had passed the test, he dared to kill the imperial court officials with Chu He, fight against Zhao Shen's generals, etc., Chu Wu did not treat him as an outsider, so he expressed his worries.

Jiang Wei didn't speak, just looked at Chu He.

Chu He pondered for a while, and finally smiled: "The so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and the use of people is not suspicious, if you don't have this kind of bearing, how can you talk about strengthening our Qinghe Village, and how can you talk about strengthening Qianyuanwei!"

"If Third Uncle Chu really had different intentions, he would have already attracted the Demon Determination Army, how could he watch us train the Hidden Yuan Guard!"

Jiang Wei nodded slightly, he had already guessed that Chu He would say this, if Chu He didn't have this bearing, how could he tell the matter of the Demon Army.

Chu He then said: "I will personally discuss with Third Uncle Chu, if we can really get the help of the Demon Determination Army, our strength will also increase in an instant, and we can better deal with the threat of the Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Barbarians!"
