readx;? Xu Yang watched the court soldiers around him running towards the outside of Tianjing City, the difference was that everyone did not hold weapons or anything like that in their hands, but everyone held tools such as shovels in their hands and went to repair and consolidate the city wall.

At the same time, Xiaohe behind Xu Yang always asks questions and asks Xu Yang what he wants to discuss with him.

"What I want to say is naturally to borrow some troops from your Dragon Palace, so that they can be used to repair and consolidate the city wall facilities. I'm afraid you won't borrow it, right? That's why I didn't go on. Xu Yang looked back and said with a smile.

When Xiaohe heard what Xu Yang said, it was really related to his Dragon Palace, and he wanted to borrow troops to repair the city wall, so he was immediately unhappy in his heart, and naturally he didn't want to go back to the Dragon Palace.

And Xiaohe didn't eat Xu Yang's tricks, so naturally he was not deceived from it.

Xiaohe saw Xu Yang bowing his head and walking towards the outside of the city, and also saw the soldiers around him in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Although this help is not big, I can't help much." The Sea Clan soldiers are all under the jurisdiction of my father, and I have no right to transfer them. Hee-hee。。。。。。 ”

Xu Yang knew that Xiaohe didn't want to return to the Dragon Palace at all, and he didn't say anything about borrowing troops from the other party, but he just hoped that the residents who had left the country could return to Tianjing City as soon as possible, so as to assist the soldiers in repairing and consolidating the city's defense line as soon as possible.

Xu Yang and Xiaohe walked and said as they walked all the way out of Tianjing City, and they saw a busy look inside and outside the Tianjing City Wall, everyone was in full swing to repair the damaged city wall, and not only the soldiers were busy, but also the majority of residents were also repairing and consolidating the city wall.

I saw that after the tall and majestic city wall was attacked by the imperial court soldiers and the Holy Lotus Sect, it was covered with deep pits, large and small, and the city wall near the outside was no different from honeycomb coal, especially the four city gates of the city wall were the most damaged, and the city tower on the city wall and the city gate below had already become stone fragments and wood chips, which was no different from the ruins and broken walls.

Just looking at this dazzling and countless damaged places, you know that it is laborious, labor-intensive, time-consuming and expensive to repair the city wall to its original unbreakable majestic appearance.

Because the walls of Tianjing City are too long and too big, if you want to repair and consolidate them as soon as possible, it is simply impossible.

Therefore, in order to make it easier and faster, the generals agreed to concentrate all their troops and inhabitants in the west and south side of the city wall first, and then repair the east and north side of the city wall first.

Xu Yang saw that everyone was in full swing to repair and consolidate the city wall, and his heart was also itchy, and he wanted to repair and consolidate the city wall as soon as possible like all the soldiers.

However, before Xu Yang went to help, he was stopped by various generals, and begged Xu Yang to only command below.

In desperation, Xu Yang had no choice but to stand under the city wall, watching the busy figures of everyone, and listening to the reports of various generals back and forth, saying that it needs to be dismantled, it only needs to be renovated there, and it needs to be increased manpower deployment and other repair-related things.

"General Xu, I have already posted the documents calling the residents who have left the city gates to the gates of the city as instructed, and I have also notified the residents in the city to summon their families back. It won't be long before these residents who have left the country will return to Tianjing City one by one. Dian Bo rode a war horse to report.

Xu Yang nodded, after the reports of the generals just now, there is very little manpower, according to the progress, I am afraid that it will only take a year or two before all the places in Tianjing City can be repaired and consolidated.

The inhabitants of Tianjing City were already very few, and the damaged residential buildings accounted for two-thirds, and after the soldiers' persuasion, these residents did not repair their own houses, but came to repair the outer city walls.

As night wore on, the inhabitants who had repaired the walls returned to their homes, leaving only the soldiers to repair the walls around the clock, patrolling and guarding the unforeseen dangers.

And looking towards the city wall, you will see a busy day of people, the city wall is no different from not repaired, and there is a large mess around the city wall.

Xu Yang also needs a skilled craftsman to direct everyone to repair and consolidate the city wall, and said to the Dianbo beside him: "We are all soldiers, and we can only lead troops to fight, but the matter of repairing and consolidating the city wall seems to be powerless and unable to start, and the scene is chaotic." Ming'er asked the residents: See who is the head of the civil engineers, and let him wait to direct the construction of the city wall!"

The pawn also saw that the soldiers and residents were not in order to repair the city wall, nodded and said, "Okay, remember the little one!"

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the soldiers and residents were in full swing to repair the wall.

I saw Dian Bo leading two plainly dressed residents to Xu Yang's side, and introduced to Xu Yang: "General Xu, these two people around me used to be the head of the civil engineers in Tianjing City, and the younger one has also asked the two of them, and both of them are familiar with the matter of repairing and consolidating the city wall." ”

Xu Yang looked at the two of them, nodded, and said to the two of them: "Tianjing City is our home, if we don't repair the city wall for a day, we will not be able to sleep and eat for a day." After that, they bothered to direct the soldiers and residents to repair and strengthen the city wall. ”

When the two foremen heard Xu Yang's words, they were shocked, they never thought that the repair of the city wall in the future would be commanded by the two of them, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded and said, "The general said kind words." Tianjing City is originally our home, and it is only natural that we can make a modest contribution. ”

"In the future, all matters relating to the repair of the city walls will be under the command of the two men, and if the soldiers and the inhabitants dare to disobey, they will be dealt with by military law. Xu Yang said.

The two foremen were surprised and delighted, they didn't expect Xu Yang to give him such a big right, and he nodded busily, declaring, "We must repair and consolidate Tianjing City as soon as possible." ”

"General, you have also seen that if you want to repair and consolidate the city wall as soon as possible, you can't do it without three or five years. Besides, there is still such a lack of manpower to repair the city wall, and it is impossible to complete the repair in a while. The two foremen raised concerns again.

Xu Yang understood what the two of them were afraid of, that is, he was afraid that he would set a deadline for the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two don't worry, just do your best, and General Ben will not set a deadline for you to repair the city wall." ”

When the two foremen heard that Xu Yang would not set a deadline for themselves, they put down the worries in their hearts, and they didn't expect Xu Yang to be so lenient and benevolent, and they were even more impressed in their hearts when they imagined that they would reject people thousands of miles away and be old-fashioned.

So, the two foremen put aside their worries and left Xu Yang, one was responsible for the repair of the city wall on the south side, and the other was responsible for the repair of the city wall on the east side.

At the same time, I saw the residents outside the city in all directions, entering the city from the gates, looking at the ruins and broken walls in the city, a shocking scene of ruins, gritting their teeth with anger, and seeing the soldiers and residents repairing and consolidating the city wall in an endless stream, just went back to the place where they used to live to see, and came to the city wall to repair the city wall with the soldiers.

After a month, half of the residents of Tianjing City returned to Tianjing City, thus solving the problem of insufficient manpower and increasing the degree of repairing the city wall.

In the past month, the imperial court has not sent any officials to Tianjing City, let alone issued any holy decree. Bai Bifang, who was seriously injured, also passed away during this period, which made the generals feel very sad and sad.

And the Dachuan rain array left in the palace was also destroyed into wreckage by Ah Po and others, so that there was nothing related to the Holy Lotus Sect left in Tianjing City.

Xu Yang was also busy in this month's time, and he wanted to take advantage of his free time to take Liu Xiangping and others to live in Tianjing City, but he thought that he might have to be transferred back to Longjing by the emperor, so he didn't have the idea of transferring everyone to Tianjing City.

One day, Xu Yang and others stood at the west gate of the city, looking at the busy figures of soldiers and residents up and down the city wall, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping in the distance.

Xu Yang saw that people were coming towards Tianjing City, and originally thought that they were residents who had returned to their hometowns, but after a closer look, he saw that these people's carriages and the people riding horses around them were all well-dressed, and the people on horseback were also wearing the official uniforms of guards, so he immediately guessed that these people might have come from Longjing.

It didn't take long for these people from afar to come to the gate of Xicheng where Xu Yang and the others were standing, and they stopped their horses one by one.

Immediately after, I saw officials in official uniforms walking out of these carriages, looking at the dilapidated Tianjing city wall, and at the same time keeping their eyes on Xu Yang and the others.

Because Xu Yang and the others were dressed in civilian clothes, they were not wearing the general's service, but they were the same as the surrounding residents, but their temperament was better than that of busy residents.

The first time these officials saw Xu Yang, they recognized Xu Yang's true identity, because the crown and orb Xu Yang was wearing were too conspicuous, and it was impossible not to be recognized.

So, these officials walked in square steps and swaggered in front of Xu Yang.

One of the obese officials, with a fat head and big ears, said with a smile: "My group of ten officials came from Longjing and were sent to Tianjing City by Banzai to manage all the affairs of Tianjing City. Here, I have met General Xu first. ”

Xu Yang didn't expect the emperor to send officials from Tianjing City, but now it can be regarded as a Tao, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hands to everyone, and said with a smile: "It really makes us wait!"
