Chapter 118: Hidden Dangers

Gongsun Yan took a bite of the sweet sweet potato with powdery glutinous sweetness, and the roasted sweet potato roasted from the warm oven was divided between Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan.

Afraid that they would not have enough to eat, Gongsun Yan asked Alan to go to the grain storage room next to the east kitchen to get some more.

In this era, the people of this world are really very good at eating.

An adult man can eat three or four of two fist-sized sweet potatoes effortlessly, without burping.

Perhaps because force is linked to the amount of food, Xia Houlan still saw him shouting that he was full, but Zhao Yun's stomach was like a bottomless pit.

If there is less food, he can eat less, and if there is more food, he can eat all the time.

If he said that he was full, he looked like he was holding the noodle pot as usual, and when he drank two pots of white water noodles with soup and water, Gongsun Yan looked a little scared.

If he is hungry, he can still give his rations to his grandchildren and brothers when he is in a deserted village, and he will not stick to his teeth for days without sticking to his teeth, and he will not be hungry.

At the beginning, in the deserted village, Gongsun Yan was worried that he would always follow the soldiers to eat boiled noodles in salt water, and his nutrition would not be able to keep up.

The braised egg chicken leg stuffed for him in private, he will always refrain from tasting it, and the excess will be distributed to his subordinates.

Later, Gongsun Yan guarded him to eat, that is, he ate as much as he wanted, and there was no time to shout

On the contrary, she was worried that she had misestimated his appetite every time, so she stopped feeding first.

Just like now, Mo saw that the two of them shared the roasted sweet potatoes equally, and Xia Houlan would be full if he fed two or three more, but Zhao Yun could eat all the time.

The sweet potato chosen by Gongsun Yan is not a soft and glutinous sweet potato, but a white-hearted sweet potato with higher starch content and more resistant to storage.

Worried that he would choke, Alan went to the east kitchen to get sweet potatoes, and Gongsun Yan went to pour tea for them.

Due to Gongsun Yan's preference, the tea in the Han Dynasty with the trouble of decoction of green onion and ginger has all been replaced with clear tea.

When I first came to the council hall, everyone was not used to drinking, and after a few days of adaptation, I got used to it a little.

A few sweet potatoes cushioned their stomachs, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan drank some tea, and then began to enter the working state.

Zhao Yun first cleaned up the sweet potato skin in front of him, threw them all into the bamboo trash can under the table, carefully wiped the table with a cloth towel, and wiped his hands carefully.

Then he carefully took out a rolled-up map from his bosom.

Unlike the previous simple and abstract map, this map is drawn on a snow-white piece of paper, which already has all the basic map elements.

military villages, farmland, dwellings, landforms, water systems and road networks......

There are also map data such as scale bars, map projections, contour lines, etc.

It is all hand-drawn with pencils, and the mountains and rivers of the Lone Bamboo Manor jump on the paper, and at first glance it is the handwriting of the housekeeper Zhao Xi.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan carefully pinched a corner of each and unfolded it, and Gongsun Yan saw that the drawings were still rolled, so he stretched out his hand to smooth it out.

Immediately harvested two scorching glances.

The full shock from Xia Houlan seemed to question how dare she.

Zhao Yun's gaze was full of disapproval.

Gongsun Yan was instantly stunned by the attitude of the two of them.

Well, such an accurate map in this era is indeed a treasure map that must be bathed and changed to be touched.

In the pre-Qin literature, there is a record of Zhou Gong's dedication to the map in the "Shangshu Luohe", and from the Zhou to the Han Dynasty, the territory map and the administrative area map were managed by full-time officials.

In the Han Dynasty, the people in charge of the map were all at the level of the Great Sikong and the Imperial Historian.

Knowing that Zhao Xi could draw such a sophisticated and accurate finished product and a complete system of its own map, Tian Kai just wanted to worship him on the spot and recognize his eldest brother.

Tian Kai is still like this, not to mention Zhao Yun's juniors.

Gongsun Yan obediently raised his hand in surrender, pulled the cloth towel in front of Zhao Yun and wiped his fingers, and the two of them gave up.

The three of them stood up in unison and pointed around the map.

Gongsun Yan originally prepared a marker, but looking at the expressions of the two before, she simply didn't take it out.

"Gongsun Lady, please take a look." Zhao Yun's finger dotted on the map, "Zhuangzhong defense, nothing else is too much of a problem, only here." ”

In the past few days, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan have been sleeping in the open air, braving the rain to inspect the village, and the other walled walls, especially the west, have fallen into disrepair due to the negligence of the parts responsible for the west, and a large section has decayed and collapsed.

But the biggest loophole in Zhuang Zhong is in Zhao Yun's finger.

The direction of this valley leading to Lulong County, the rock walls are towering, the trees cover the sky, the accumulated fallen leaves accumulate to form a rotten mud bubble, and there are only a few animal roads in the valley.

Even the steward did not know the exit of this valley.

When Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan were inspecting, they took a few young people from Zhuangzhong.

One of them is surnamed Ma, called Ma Chong, whose father is the former Gongsun Junzhong Bai Ma Yi from the old department, he came to Guzhu Manor when he was a child, and grew up here.

Generally speaking, everything in the village belongs to the owner, that is, a newly grown mushroom on the mountain, which is the owner's property.

It is impossible for the shade to go up to the mountains to hunt, otherwise even if you steal the goods of the master's family, the defendant will be punished very severely.

Because of Gongsun Zhan's preferential treatment, even if it is a trilogy, these disabled soldiers in the army can also hunt in the mountains to subsidize their families.

Ma Chong is very familiar with this part of the mountain, and according to him, the exit of this valley leads directly to Lulong County.

Because the Lone Bamboo Manor has an armed tribe that regularly hunts in the mountains every year to control the population of fierce beasts, it is safer to have fewer fierce beasts around.

There are often mountain people in Lulong County, who come to this valley over the mountains and mountains to harvest mountain goods.

There is no doubt that this is an important place that must be fortified militarily.

Otherwise, all it takes is a known mountaineer to lead the way, and the enemy can go straight to the softest belly of the Lone Bamboo Manor from here.

Gongsun Yan frowned, she was not like Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan who had asked Zhao Xi to make up for the class, she couldn't see such a map very clearly.

And she doesn't think from a military perspective like Zhao Yun and others.

She made a virtual comparison on the map, if the road could be repaired, the distance between the Guzhu Manor and the south of Lulong County would be closer.

In the planning of Gongsun Yan, Guzhu Manor and Lulong County will be integrated in the future.

If there is such a valley, maybe it will save the effort of opening up the mountain and opening up the road.

Zhao Yun did not approve of this in the early stage: "Lulong County does not know what the situation is, and it is not possible to build roads for the time being.

Although Zhao Yun was confident that he could subdue Lulong County, the situation in Lulong County was complicated, and when he had not completely suppressed all the enemies, he could not ignore this weakness of the Lone Bamboo Manor, and even took the initiative to build a road to expose it.

Xia Houlan was on Gongsun Yan's side this time, in his opinion, there was indeed resistance in Lulong County, but these people were far from being bold enough to attack Guzhu Manor.

Liaoxi is still the territory of the Gongsun family.

They accepted that even if Lulong County encountered some twists and turns, it would not implicate the Lone Bamboo Manor.

The two sides discussed for a long time.

Zhao Yun still disagreed with the weakness left behind, and in his hypothetical eventuality, such a weakness could cause countless kinds of troubles.

Once Zhao Yun became stubborn, Gongsun Yan and Xiahou Lan, two guys who were lucky, were persuaded by his hypothetical possibilities.
