Ji Yong raised his hand and pointed to the western peak with a horsewhip, and said, "My lord, please see, this mountain peak is south, belongs to the Taihang Mountains, and leads to the Jin Kingdom. "Then he turned his right horsewhip and pointed to the mountains to the north, and said, 'This mountain peak is northwest and belongs to the Yanshan mountain range. At the junction of these two mountain ranges is Juyong Pass. โ€

The young lady followed the horsewhip used by Ji and stared at it: from a distance, the two mountains seemed to be one together, and the mountains were majestic. In the plain area under the mountain, there were people who led horses to cultivate and divert water for irrigation.

Now that the sky is bright, Miss can clearly see the Great Wall of Juyongguan.

The young lady said: "The Great Wall is so majestic, and there are adults sitting at the south entrance, Xiongguan should be unharmed." โ€

Ji Yong said: "It has been operated by several generations of country owners to have such a scale. As he spoke, he turned his horsewhip and pointed to the crowd of people working in the field, and continued: "Your Excellency, please see, most of these cultivators are military slaves, and in a few days, after the spring ploughing is completed, they will go to Beishan to continue building the Great Wall." โ€

The young lady said: "No wonder the Great Wall is so majestic, the successive generations of management, like a drop of water through the stone, manpower eventually become a heavenly work." โ€

Ji Yong said: "The results of many years of operation have been revealed, and now it is difficult to break through the three passes of the people outside the pass, so they can only plunder outside the pass and find a way south." โ€

The young lady said: "When I go out of the customs this time, I will learn from the sages, and then build the Great Wall to protect the people outside my pass." โ€

Ji Yong said: "If it is peaceful outside the gate, I can sit back and relax here." The adults are ambitious, so I will support them, and select slave laborers from me and give them thirty of them. โ€

When the young lady heard this, she bowed her hand and said, "I can't ask for it, I have thanked the adults first." โ€

Ji Yong said: "My lord will first build a brick factory when I go out of the customs this time, and these thirty slave skilled workers, I will send them to the adult's office outside the customs in a month for the adults to call." โ€

While the two were talking, they turned a corner and saw the mountain road ahead. The mountain road is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other.

The two stopped talking, concentrated on walking, and after a moment entered the mountain road and walked into the ditch. From time to time, there are birds and small beasts in the mountains on both sides to make noises, which are euphemistic and beautiful. The sound of the marching cars, the neighing of horses and cows from time to time, and the joyful cries of birds and beasts, formed a unique music.

At around noon, the brigade arrived at Juyong Pass.

Ji Yong said to the young lady: "This place is fifty miles away from the third camp gang, and the adults can rest here for a while." "The soldier on duty on the arrow tower at the pass saw Ji Yong walking in front of the team with the guards, got down the arrow tower, and greeted Ji Yong.

The young lady turned around and announced that she was resting for a moment, dismounted, and came to a blue brick house in front of the pass with Ji Yong.

The two sat down, and Ji Yong said: "If it's wartime, this is my headquarters." โ€

The young lady said: "This is not far from Donghuanggang, if you have leisure, you can go to me to enjoy the scenery outside the pass." โ€

At this time, two guards came over with tea and snacks and put them on the table of the two.

Ji Yong picked up a piece of dim sum, handed it to the young lady, and said, "This trip is long, I won't go out of the customs to send it, please use some snacks, adults." โ€

The young lady thanked Ji Yong, took the snack, and ate the tea. Ji Yong said to the guards: "You go and get some snacks and give them to Li Er's little official." The guards did their bidding.

The young lady used two pieces of snacks, took out a silk brocade handkerchief, wiped her mouth and hands, and said, "I'll go out and have a look, thank you for sending me all the way." With that, he stood up.

Ji Yong also got up and followed the young lady outside. The young lady looked at the Xiongguan Arrow Tower, where there were soldiers looking from afar, and asked, "I wonder how many people are stationed here?"

Ji Yong said: "At most, five hundred, generally three hundred, it is enough to ensure that each arrow tower has three guards." โ€

The young lady asked, "Why do you have three garrisons?"

Ji Yong said: "Three guards, two lookouts, and one prepares meals, which is enough to prevent a sudden invasion of foreign enemies before wartime." โ€

The young lady said: "I think of my homeland, which is mostly plains and waters, if there is such a majestic pass, how can it be sneak attacked." โ€

Ji Yong said: "Xu and Wu have a currency dispute, if Xu uses the shell coins produced by Wu, how can it be attacked by Wu." โ€

The young lady said: "Xu Guo made his own bell coins to use, but it also annoyed Wu Guo, and it was really a death for money." Although the Xu State is weak, it has its own heaven and earth and the people are fair, and this Wu State is plundering wealth everywhere, and it will definitely not last long. โ€

Ji Yong said: "The Wu State is reckless, and it is a matter of time before it declines. โ€

The young lady said: "These days, I have just been involved in military affairs, and I have seen that this soldier and farmer are one, fighting all year round, and farming is not prosperous, which is indeed not a long-term way. โ€

While the two were talking, time flew by, and the moment had arrived. Each team began to pack up, count their own numbers, and line up the line.

The young lady walked up to her horse, untied the reins of the horse, and said to Ji, "The green mountains are always there, and the lower official will set off." After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse.

Ji arched his hand and said: "Slow down, take care all the way, and say goodbye!"

The young lady waved on her horse, "Farewell!" After saying that, she came to the front of the team, inspected it, and announced the departure.

Ji Yong watched the team gradually move away, and thought to himself: "Master Erudite's iron rake on the horse, I don't know whose weapon it is, he has a spare day, and he will definitely go to Donghuanggang to see how the iron rake is used as a weapon." โ€

The long road was long, and the young lady led the team forward, out of the ditch, and went straight to the third camp post. Along the way, the mountains are green and full of spring.

When I arrived at the Guanwai Plain, sure enough, there were grasslands everywhere, and the water was murmuring, and from time to time I saw roe deer, foxes, wolves, elk and other animals drinking water by the small river ditch that diverted out. There are also leopards, running fast, chasing chickens and ducks, and catching small beasts. The eagle in the sky, soaring freely, swooping and catching rabbits. Pheasants and ducks are startled to avoid leopards, and rabbits roll over and kick their legs to fight eagles.

Seeing this, the young lady said to Hua Leopard and the others: "Fierce beasts are common here, you are optimistic about the horse convoy, and I am popular to maneuver to prevent the beasts from attacking the rear team." After saying that, he came to the side of the road and watched the procession pass in front of him.

The carriage convoy passed by the young lady, and Guan Fengzi and Yin Kang passed in front of the young lady with the ox convoy. The young lady came to the two of them on a horse, walked forward together, and said, "There are often traces of fierce beasts outside the gate, you should pay attention." โ€

Guan Fengzi said: "Thank you for reminding the family master, our slave coachman has iron tools issued by the government in the baggage, if the beast attacks, it should be fine." โ€

When the young lady heard this, she left the team again, and began to walk her horse to the rear, shouting as she went, "It is getting late, and there are many beasts here, so you should prepare your iron weapons to prevent the beasts from attacking." โ€

When everyone heard the shouting, they began to take out the iron tools in their bags, and the coachman put the iron tools on the Che Bang, and the slave foot army led by Zhao Er and others also took the iron tools in their hands.

Lear rode the ox and followed the brigade behind. The twenty inner soldiers he brought with him did not wear armor, but only long swords. Seeing the young lady walking her horse and hearing the young lady's shout, these inner soldiers also pulled out their long swords from the sword barrel behind their backs and held them in their hands to prevent accidents.
