Seeing the position of her hand, Ben Gongzi's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Yes, if you set up a fortress here, and the area in front of you is full of lofty mountains and narrow terrain. No matter how many soldiers there are, it is useless, so they can only be filled up one by one. ”

Yes, all the people agree with Queen Dou's plan, this is the most suitable countermeasure at present, after all, Hancheng County is only 900 young and strong, plus the 600 parts of this son and the 500 subordinates sent by Liu Hongji, if you want to go to fight with 100,000 rebels, it is simply fat sent to the door, I am afraid that it will not even be enough to fill the gap between the other party's teeth.

After making a decision, Ben Gongzi began to make arrangements, and ordered that three thousand young men and two hundred carriages should be assembled and put on standby, and in addition, people should rush to the masonry and cement stone, and two hundred carriages should be filled

Strive to get to the dangerous place before dusk today, and then start construction and construction. In addition, I summoned Han Xiong and ordered this guy to take the 560 men of the first battalion in the name of long-distance exercises, rush here, set up camp there, and send more scouts to guard against the rebels in the north.

Han Xiong also knew that the matter was very important, so he immediately took the order and left. There are nearly 200 people in the first battalion who are under the command of Ben Gongzi, as long as they can be cautious enough, I believe that nothing should happen.

And Ben Gongzi also had to rush over, what made me speechless was that except for Tang Jian and Yang Shidao, two literati who didn't like to fight, everyone else had to follow Ben Gongzi to go shopping, of course, Li Yuanji's little guy and Xiao Wu, as well as my sister-in-law, were all ordered by Ben Gongzi to stay, after all, if my mother woke up, she couldn't even see a figure, which is not easy to explain.

I don't want my mother to be here and worry about my safety.

So, Ben Gongzi led a hundred parts, as well as more than a hundred parts of the Li family, and the Li family brothers and sisters, together with Queen Dou, and of course, Liu Hongji, who was grinding his fists, rushed towards the northwest together. I followed the valley where my son raised horses for more than ten miles, and then turned to the northwest.

Compared with the cement road paved by Ben Gongzi, these old roads really seem to be a little potholed, but fortunately it did not rain during this time, otherwise, this road would be even more muddy and difficult to walk.

Even on horseback, I walked for almost an hour from the concrete road to the northwest, and then we reached the canyon. At this moment, this canyon exudes a sense of tranquility, and the summer sun makes the jungle and shrubs on both sides of the canyon seem so dense, only occasionally in the gap, can you see the blue-gray color of the mountain.

At its narrowest point, it allowed a maximum of two carriages to pass through it, and at its widest point, it was only five or six feet wide. Moreover, the canyon is in the shape of an inverted ladder, which is indeed very suitable for the construction of passes.

"It's a pity that this canyon is too narrow, only suitable for defense, not ambush." We rode with me to the northwest exit of the canyon, where there was a flat valley, and the mountain seemed much gentler, and we could see that this road paved with loess stretched directly over the mountain. Queen Dou reined in the horse's head and looked back at the valley, and couldn't help but feel a little pity.

"It's okay, as long as you can hold it, I believe that the court will not watch this group of tens of thousands of rebels dangling under the nose of Chang'an." I said with a smile.

"Childe, the little one has already gone to investigate, around the left and right, only the west, about seven miles away from here, there is a small road that can be passed, but the road is relatively narrow, at most you can pass the foot ride, the vehicle is not able to walk." Zheng Chen hurried back and reported the latest news to me.

"Block that side with rocks, and then, leave the people to guard it, don't make any mistakes." Ben Gongzi nodded, it's okay, although there are not many fields in this place in Hancheng County, but it is very lucky, because there are these mountains as barriers.

There are only two land routes in and out, so it's really easy to defend like this.

A dozen of our troops were sent as scouts to investigate, and our group stopped in the open field outside the canyon. After waiting for about half an hour, Han Xiong and his party finally arrived.

They first took a carriage to the end of the cement road, and then began to walk, so as to save at least about an hour, after all, from the county seat to the cement road, there is almost fifteen miles of road, if you want to walk, don't want to walk in more than two hours.

From there to the canyon, it was only ten miles, and although it was not easy to walk, we rode horses not much faster than trotting.

Han Xiong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that we were here first, and beckoned the militia of that battalion to rest for a quarter of an hour first, and rushed over to inquire about the situation, well, there is no situation for the time being, no situation For now, this is definitely the best situation.

Now that everyone has arrived, there is nothing to do now, so my son Yu Crisp ordered the soldiers to start cutting down the wood on the inner side of the canyon, and after cutting off the branches, they made them into horses, and all of them were placed at the entrance of the canyon about 20 zhang wide.

For Ben Gongzi's idle move, I don't want to get Queen Dou's approval, thinking that this is to prevent patients from happening, and he really deserves to be a rare resourceful person in the world. Seeing his mother-in-law praising his future fiancé, Li Yaoguang's smile was so sweet that he could melt the honey.

Ben Gongzi hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and soon, more than 500 people, plus more than 100 people under Ben Gongzi's hands, and Queen Dou also asked her family to help, and it didn't take much effort to erect the entrance to the canyon about 20 zhang wide to reject horses.

Although these rejections are very crude, it is better to have something to stop than nothing to stop them. At this time, I finally received the news that the young and strong front team who rushed to repair the pass had rushed to the entrance of the canyon

And because the road is difficult, so you can only let those young people carry or pick, and carry those masonry and cement towards the mouth of the canyon. This makes me a little annoyed, why don't you build the road here, it's too difficult to rely on manpower alone.

But fortunately, there are enough people, and the people of Hancheng County and those displaced people heard the news that there is a large group of rebels in Yan'an County, which is eyeing the south, and maybe they may rush to Hancheng.

In the end, more than 5,000 homeless people were young and strong, and more than 2,000 people in Hancheng County took the initiative to come to help.

As for the people of Hancheng County, because of the arrival of Ben Gongzi, their lives are also much better, and they naturally have to maintain the peace of their homes. Two hundred carts were speeding back and forth on the concrete road. Nearly 10,000 young people are like countless industrious ants, moving densely and quickly.

Bags of cement, a piece of bricks and stones, gradually piled up at the position where the design pass was prepared, and the craftsmen who rushed over, commanding a group of young people, cut down the trees in that area, and then began to stir up the cement mortar, and began to build.

"It must be at least four zhang high and four zhang wide, and there should be an arch one zhang wide and two zhang wide underneath, which can at least be used by two carriages, after all, it is not a one-time use. The wings then stretched forward in a semi-arc, so that the enemy would be besieged on three sides if they approached. Ben Gongzi took the topographic map that had just been drawn, and followed the leader of the craftsman to spit and explain horizontally.

This is the narrowest place, and there is room for two carriages at most, and although it is said that the carriages can be passed, the road is too rough for the horses to walk too fast. This pass is not so much a pass as a bridge, well, from a distance, it must look like a Zhaozhou bridge with a bridge arch.

In this way, the bricks and cement needed are not too much, but Ben Gongzi still asked those young people to find enough stones nearby, and after the pass is repaired, the door hole below must be blocked tightly, I don't want to watch the rebels drill through the doorway.

Now this son really doesn't have the time to greet people. However, Queen Dou and they were also interested, so they just stood quietly on the sidelines, admiring this Gongzi commanding Ruoding here. Well, I have designed a low-rent house, and the request of the son of the Chase shop has been approved by the old craftsmen led by these leaders.

The sky was getting dark, but here it was brightly lit, and the torches shone in the night, as bright as the stars in the sky. Especially on the construction site, a torch was erected high to illuminate the city wall under construction.

"It's fast enough to build a wall with this concrete masonry. And more than 10,000 young and strong, building a city fortress pass in such a narrow place, but it looks so orderly, not congested at all, virtuous nephew, it seems that this is also your ability, right? About 100 steps away from the construction of the pass, on a raised platform on the left side of the mountain, Queen Dou, who had just finished a simple dinner, looked over there and couldn't help but sigh like this

Ben Gongzi determined that the location of the pass was at the end of the canyon, so that the empty territory on this side was enough to keep tens of thousands of young people busy, and in case there were really rebels attacking, they would not enter the canyon more than a thousand people every time, but we were afraid that just above the pass, we could carry a thousand militia to defend, and this open space, I am afraid that one or two thousand reserve troops can be stuffed.

"It's not, in fact, they learned this kind of ability in those factories and mines, for example, everyone is only allowed to walk on the right side, so that they will not be crowded together, in addition, these craftsmen, for the past six months, have been building houses every day, doing this kind of work, they are already familiar with the way
