    Seeing the position pointed by her hand, my son couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Yes, if a city fort is set up here, and the area in front of it is full of high mountains and narrow terrain. It is useless no matter how many soldiers there are, only one force can be achieved.  "Yes, everyone agrees with Queen Dou's plan. This is the most suitable strategy at present. After all, Hancheng County only has 900 young people, plus I have 600 troops.  The 500 men sent by Qu and Liu Hongji wanted to challenge 100,000 rebels in a one-on-one fight. It was simply fat meat that was sent to their door. I'm afraid it wouldn't even be enough to fill the gap between the opponent's teeth.  After making the decision, I began to make arrangements and ordered that three thousand young men and two hundred horse-drawn carriages be assembled on standby. In addition, people rushed to the masonry and cement stones, and the two hundred horse-drawn carriages were to be fully loaded.  Before dusk today, rush to the dangerous location and then start building the city.  In addition, I recruited Han Xiong and ordered him to gather 560 people from the first battalion in the name of a long-distance exercise and rush here to camp there. In addition, I sent more scouts to guard against the rebels in the north.  Han Xiong also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately took the order and left.  There are nearly two hundred people in the first battalion who are under my command. As long as they are careful enough, I believe nothing will happen to them.  And I have to rush over. What makes me speechless is that except for Tang Jian and Yang Shidao, two literati who don't like to fight, everyone else has to follow me to go shopping. Of course, the little guy Li Yuanji and  Xiao Wu and my sister were all ordered to stay by this young master. After all, if my mother wakes up, she won't even be able to see her. It's hard to explain.  I don¡¯t want my mother to have to worry about my safety just now.  So, I, led by the Hundred Steps, and the Li family's Over Hundred Steps, the Li family brothers and sisters, together with Queen Dou, and of course Liu Hongji, who was gearing up, rushed towards the northwest.  We followed the valley for more than ten miles to the valley where I raise horses, and then turned to the northwest.  "Compared with the concrete roads laid by my master, these old roads are indeed a bit bumpy. Fortunately, it didn't rain during this period, otherwise, this road would have been even more muddy and difficult to navigate.  Even on horseback, we turned northwest from the cement road and walked for almost an hour before we arrived at the canyon.  At this moment, this canyon exudes a sense of tranquility. The bright summer sun makes the jungles and shrubs on both sides of the canyon look so dense. Only occasionally can the blue-gray color of the mountain be seen.  The narrowest part of this approximately 100-mile-long canyon allows at most two carriages to pass through, and the widest part is only five or six feet wide.  Moreover, the canyon is in the shape of an inverted ladder. This shape is indeed very suitable for building passes.  "It's a pity that this canyon is too narrow. It's only suitable for defense, not ambush." ??Together with me, we rode to the northwest exit of the canyon. There was a flat valley, and the mountains seemed much gentler. We could see this  The road paved with loess extends directly over the mountains and ahead.  Queen Dou reined in the horse's head and looked back at the valley, feeling a little regretful.  "It doesn't matter, as long as we can hold on. I believe that the court will not watch this group of hundreds of thousands of rebels wandering around under Chang'an's nose." I said with a smile.  "Sir, I have already gone to investigate. In the surrounding area, only to the west, about seven miles away from here, there is a small road that can pass. However, the road is relatively narrow. At most, it can only be passed by foot and horse. Vehicles cannot go there.  ." Zheng Chen hurried back and reported the latest news to me.  "Block that side with rocks, and then leave people to guard it. Don't make any mistakes." I nodded, it was pretty good. Although there are not many fields in Hancheng County, I am very lucky.  , because there are these mountains as a barrier.  There are only two land routes in and out, so it is really easy to defend like this.  A dozen tribesmen were sent out as scouts to investigate, and a group of us stopped in the open space 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 started walking. This saved at least an hour. After all, there was about fifteen miles from the county seat to the cement road. If they wanted to walk,  Don¡¯t even think about finishing the trip in less than two hours.  From there to the canyon, it is only about ten miles. Although these ten miles are difficult to walk, our riding speed is not much faster than trotting.  When Han Xiong saw that we were already here, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He asked the militiamen of that battalion to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then rushed over to ask about the situation. Well, there is no situation for the time being. There is no situation. For now, this is definitely  Best case scenario.  Now that everyone has arrived and everything is fine, I, Yu Jian, ordered the soldiers to start cutting down the wood on the inside of the canyon. After cutting off the branches, they made Juma and placed them all at the entrance of the canyon, which was about twenty feet wide.  .  For this son, the son is so painful, but you don¡¯t want to get it.With the approval of Queen Dou, I believe that this young master is trying to prevent the patient from getting sick in the first place. He is indeed one of the rare wise men in the world.  Seeing his mother praising my future fianc¨¦, the smile on Li Yaoguang's face was so sweet that it could melt honey.  I quickly said a few words of humility, and soon, more than 500 people, plus the hundred or so people under me, and Queen Dou also asked her family's tribe to help, and in a short time, they were  The entrance to the canyon, which is about 20 feet wide, is filled with horses.  Although these horses are very rough, it is better to have something to block them than to have nothing to block them.  At this time, news was finally received that the young troops who came to build the pass had arrived at the entrance of the canyon. But because the road was difficult, the young troops could only carry or carry the bricks, stones and cement on their backs.  Transported towards the mouth of the canyon.  This makes me a little annoyed, why don't we build the road here? It's too difficult to build the road just by manpower.  Fortunately, there were enough people, and the people in Hancheng County and the refugees heard the news that there was a large group of rebels in Yan'an County, and they were eyeing the south, and they might rush to Hancheng. Finally, they had a peaceful period.  The feelings of these refugees living in this life are the deepest.  In the end, more than 5,000 young and strong refugees, and more than 2,000 ordinary people from Hancheng County came to help on their own initiative. Even if I tried to persuade them personally, I could not persuade them. Moreover, those ordinary people and refugees were very down-to-earth. In one word,  It's hard to live a peaceful life, but I don't want this life to be ruined by those rebels.  As for the people of Hancheng County, their lives have also become much easier because of the arrival of my son, and they naturally have to maintain the peace of their homes.  Two hundred large trucks were transported back and forth quickly on the cement road.  Nearly ten thousand young people are like countless industrious ants, moving densely and quickly.  Bags of cement and bricks and stones gradually piled up like a mountain at the location where the pass was to be designed. The craftsmen who came over commanded a group of young men to cut down all the trees in that area, and then started.  The cement mortar was stirred and construction began.  "It must be at least four feet high and four feet wide. There should be an arch below that is one foot two wide and can accommodate at least two carriages. After all, this is not a one-time use. Then the two wings stretch forward to form a semi-arc.  In this way, once the enemy gets close, they will be besieged from three sides." I took the topographic map that I had just drawn and followed the lead craftsman to explain it with spitfire.  This is the narrowest place, and only two carriages can be accommodated below. Although carriages can pass, the road is too rugged, and even horses cannot walk too fast.  This pass is not so much a pass as a bridge. Well, when viewed from a distance, it must look like a Zhaozhou Bridge with arches.  In this way, the required masonry and cement are not too much. However, I still ask the young men to find enough stones nearby. After the pass is repaired, the doorway below must be blocked tightly first.  , I don¡¯t want to watch helplessly as the rebels slip through the doorway.  ¡°Now I really don¡¯t have time to greet people.  However, Queen Dou and the others were aware of the situation and just stood aside quietly, admiring my master's command here.  Well, I, who has designed low-rent housing, Datong Pu, had my request approved by these senior craftsmen headed by me.  The sky is gradually getting dark, but here, the lights are brightly lit everywhere, and torches shine in the dark night, as bright as the stars in the sky.  Especially on the construction site, a torch was erected high, illuminating the city wall being built brightly.  "It is fast enough to use cement bricks and stones to build a city wall. Moreover, there are more than 10,000 young men and women building a city wall in such a narrow place, but it seems so orderly and not crowded at all. My nephew, look  Is it your ability to come here?" On a raised platform on the left side of the mountain about a hundred steps away from the construction pass, Queen Dou, who had just finished a simple dinner, looked over there and couldn't help but sigh.  I have determined that the location for building the pass is at the end of the canyon. In this way, the open space here will be enough for Wanqingzhuang to work up and down. Moreover, if there is a rebel attack, they will not exceed the number of people entering the canyon every time.  Thousands of people, but our side may be able to support a thousand militiamen just above the pass, and this open space may be filled with ten or twenty thousand reserve troops.  "That's not true. In fact, they learned their skills in the factories and mines that were established. For example, when walking, everyone is only allowed to walk on the right side, so that they will not be crowded together. In addition, these  Craftsmen have been building houses every day for the past six months. They are already familiar with such work.
