Chapter 035: Fortifications

I'm Liu Bei.

When he was in a depressed mood, he was about to go down the mountain when a figure flashed out from the side.

I jumped away vigilantly, and found that the figure was Bailiru. Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried. Sympathy arose in my heart.

"Why are you crying? Forget it. Although I am the patriarch, I am not so stingy as to declare a personal vendetta. I didn't pay attention to your refusal. "I originally wanted to surprise her, but if I don't accept it, forget it. Anyway, the favor owed to you is repaid, and I am debt-free and light.

"What did you say?" Baili Ru roared arrogantly: "If you have the ability, you will say it again!"

She was still charming just now, how can she say that she has changed? It's really a woman's heart, and it's a needle under the sea.

"Shouldn't a girl's family be gentle and considerate? If you are as fierce as you, a peerless good man like me will be scared away by you. "I'm joking." What's the matter with you coming back to me? ”

"People are fierce, do they care about you?" Bailiru lowered her head and whispered arrogantly, her hands kept wrapping her fingers.

Did she take the wrong medicine? How is it cloudy? I refused to marry just now, and now I come to show my love again, which is really confusing.

"You men do big things all day long, and you don't understand our girls' minds at all." Bailiru leaned over and leaned over my shoulder. Suddenly, a smell came straight to the nose. I wanted to take advantage of the situation to hug her, but after thinking about it, wait and wait, her violent temper may be angry immediately.

"My Miss Xiaoru, crying and crying, you have to wash your clothes if they get wet." Watch her make a sobbing voice and jokingly comfort.

"Which of your clothes these days wasn't washed by Miss Ben?" Bailiru raised her head and showed her savage nature.

No wonder the clothes in the past few days are not dirty no matter how they are changed, it turns out that she has secretly washed them.

"Hehe, hehe." When encountering such an embarrassing thing, in addition to pretending to be stupid, the rest of the methods are self-defeating.

"You know, in front of so many people, people are shy!" Baili Ru said proudly.

Lao Tzu eats this set the most, every time I see a girl say this, my heart is numb.

"So you agreed?"

"Don't ask such shy questions?"

Don't ask, who do you ask? Oh! It suddenly dawned on me that this era pays attention to the orders of parents. She was suggesting that I was going to propose to his father. With my current status as the patriarch, this matter is not a piece of cake?

"Let me ask you, is the song just now good?"

"It's not good. I like it, though. ”

"Really doesn't sound good? Do you want me to sing "Guan Sui" to you? ”

"No, I want to learn what you just sang."

"Okay, no problem."

"What does the 'earth' mean in the song?"

"Oops!"

"What's wrong?"

"Twisted my foot......"

There are still people in this world who don't know what the earth is! Can I not be scared? If you think about it, 'earth' is a term that came after Magellan's circumnavigation of the world in 1522.

In the evening, go back to the village with her. After sending her home, he went back to the house to continue his swordsmanship. I didn't sleep until late at night.

Early the next morning, he inspected with Zhu Jinlong, Qiu Ming, and Ting Baihu at the entrance of the village.

Zhu Jinlong said: "My lord, the east, west and north of the canyon are surrounded by mountains, and they are all cliffs, and there is no way to enter or exit. To the south is the surging White River, so this mountain road is a must-go in and out of the valley. Defending the mountain road will prevent the enemy from entering the valley. We can set up a fence at the entrance to the mountain road and build an arrow tower with large logs behind it. You can not only observe the situation of the mountain road ahead, but also shoot arrows for defense. ”

Because I am a school captain, although I did not return to the Tun cavalry battalion to be reinstated, Zhu Jinlong is still the Sima of the Shangtun Department. So continue the previous name.

"That's a good idea. If the enemy uses fire, will it burn down the arrow tower? ”

"The wooden arrow tower will be burned down under fire. Does the lord mean to build it with blue bricks? ”

"Is it difficult to use green bricks?" I asked.

"There are no bricks in the valley." Zhu Jinlong sighed. "You need to make your own fire."

"You discuss this problem with the third grandfather, and he should be able to solve it. The fortifications we are building now should not only focus on the present, but also take a long-term view. A large army sent by the court came, and this arrow tower was attacked by the stone throwing machine (stone throwing machine). In a word, the entrance of the village must be made of blue bricks!"

As the so-called "one man is the gate", the fortifications must be the strongest.

Qiu Ming said: "Building a green brick building is time-consuming and laborious, and it cannot be built in a few months. Haven't there been no fortifications at the entrance of the village during these months? ”

"It's also simple, you can first build a small wooden arrow tower in the narrow passage in front of you, as an outpost for temporary defense." Zhu Jinlong said.

"Not only to build one, but to build several, to prevent the enemy from breaking through, in that case they break through one, we have several, and this battle will be fought. As for the green bricks, they can be fired first, and there is no need to rush to build, and they are not in a hurry. The first task now was to build a number of wooden arrow towers in the mountain roads that stretched for miles as temporary fortifications. ”

suddenly understood that in the face of 100,000 Han troops, Zhang Jiao would not fight hard. The elites of Taiping Dao are all in the White Snake Village, and Zhang Jiao will definitely try his best to retreat and move elsewhere to accumulate strength. At that time, once he withdraws, it may be that our clan will be able to face this powerful Han army independently.

Zhang Jiao said that he would retreat in ten days, and it had been two days, so I really didn't know what kind of deployment he would do. And the movements of the 100,000 Han troops are also always concerned about my heart.

"Can you build three arrow towers in eight days?"

Qiu Ming and Ting Baihu glanced at each other, and Ting Baihu said: "Rush to work overnight, there is no problem with the three." ”

"You go and prepare now, and try to finish it in three days."

The two said that they bowed and retreated. Zhu Jinlong said: "My lord, all the cultivated land in the clan is on the north bank of the Baihe River, and if there is a big flood, it will all be submerged." Should embankments be built along the banks of the river? ”

"This is a water conservancy project, which is related to the livelihood of the people. As soon as the war is over, I will start arranging. Are you proposing it now, do you want to build the arrow tower and the embankment into one? ”

"My subordinates do have this idea."

"Tell me more."

"The White River is fast-flowing, but my subordinates have heard that there is a way to walk on the riverbed, and you can walk here from upstream. Carry out a raid on the canyon. If the arrow tower is rebuilt on top of the embankment, it can effectively prevent this raid. At the same time, it is integrated with the arrow tower at the entrance of the village, which can increase the overall defense of the canyon. ”

"Worthy of a professionally trained officer! It's a great way to do it. When the Han army retreated, construction began immediately. ”

"Please leave this matter to your subordinates."

"As soon as the war is over, you will go back to Youzhou."

"No, my lord, please let your subordinates stay."

"You are a court official, you can't follow us."

He had to go back, believing that he would be able to use him in the future. "Let's look elsewhere, you can tell me about the fortifications in the village."
