has been in the late Han Dynasty for so long, and Ma Chao also has a score in his heart for the construction of the town. And this moat, generally speaking, is still a relatively important building.

A moat is an artificially dug trench that diverts water to form an artificial river that acts as a barrier to the city walls, on the one hand to maintain the security of the city, and on the other hand as a means of defense to prevent the entry of besiegers. In general, there is a 'moat' along the moat, which is forced on the outside and a sandwich road on the inside, which greatly improves the defensive combat capability of the moat.

However, this does not mean that every town has a moat, for example, the captured three counties of Guangwei, Nan'an, and Anding have only one moat and no moat. The reason is very simple, there are no rivers flowing through the three counties of Guangwei, Nan'an, and Anding, and the rainfall is not very abundant, so there are no conditions for building moats at all.

Generally speaking, a city with a moat either has abundant rainfall or a river passes through it. And the situation that Brother Xiang said can only show one problem, that is, the moat of Longxi County is drawn from the living water of the river and finally flows into the river. Otherwise, if it is just stagnant water, dozens of truckloads of sandbags will always overflow the river.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao suddenly got up, pouted his butt and looked for something in the big tent. And when everyone was still puzzled, Ma Chao shouted: "This is it!" ”

What Ma Chao took out was the picture he showed Ma Teng at the beginning. This map, after being handed over to his subordinates for further supplementation and expansion, has been painted to Chang'an and Liangzhou, and its annotation explanation is also very detailed.

"The man who is the terrain is also the help of the soldiers. Expect the enemy to win, calculate the danger far and near, and the way of the general is also. Those who know this and use war will win, and those who do not know this and use war will lose. Young master, if you had checked this Dayu Dingding map earlier this time, it would not have made hundreds of soldiers die in vain......" Although Yang Fu said these words carefully, he also knew that Wen died and fought to the death, at this moment, the generals of the Ma family are all people who fight to the death, and if there is no one who dies, I am afraid that the integrity and role of Wenchen will also be lost.

"However, this battle is also a certain mistake...... Ma Chao said and bowed to the outside of the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, go all the way!" All the people were silent, and their hearts were grieved.

After a while, Jia Xu opened his mouth to persuade: "Knowing mistakes can be changed, and kindness is great." Chao'er, since you have already known your mistake, why don't you take a quick look at where the living water of Longxi County comes from? ”

"Copy several copies of this Dayu Dingding map and distribute it to all the generals. In the account, you also need to hang a detailed large picture for reference! Before Ma Chao unfolded the map, he said to Yang Fu, the clerk beside him.

After Yang Fu answered the road, everyone gathered on the map, only to see that there was a thick ink line on the north side of Longxi County to represent the river, which flowed into Longxi County and then merged into the main trunk, and the annotation next to it was called the Wei River.

Ma Chao suddenly remembered that this Wei River is not the source and tributary of the Yellow River, the mother river of Chinese children. The amount of water is extremely abundant, Longxi County leads the water of the Wei River to Longxi, its water flow is naturally not small, and it is no wonder that dozens of bags of sand are thrown in, and can only listen to a sound.

"Quickly summon Xiao Tian!" Seeing this, Ma Chao immediately remembered Xiao Tian, who had been a scout before.

After a while, Xiao Tian entered and saw that all the bigwigs were discussing the military, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Immediately thinking of the young master's gentle temper, he also calmed down, and said respectfully: "Young master, I don't know what is the matter of calling my subordinates over?" ”

"Ugly brother, this Xiao Tian is witty and skilled. He also made great contributions in Xinping County, and was the title of chief of our army, and now he is officially included in the Shadow Battalion. You ask him to select a few vigilant and clever people from the battalion, disguise themselves as arrogators, and go to see how this Longxi County introduced the water of the Wei River into the moat! ”

"No!" The ugly brother is still a little puzzled: Isn't this just to fill the moat, do you need to make such a big move?

And then, Ma Chao's words made the ugly brother even more surprised and confused:

"Ugly brother, I never thought that you also knew the application of terrain today. If you can capture Longxi in this battle, you will be the first to make the first contribution! ”

The ugly brother was really a little stupid, and thanked him with a confused face. And after Ma Chao saw Xiao Tian also take the order and left, his expression was very happy, and he didn't notice the ugly brother's abnormality.

The rest of Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Yang Fu and others were also a little excited. During the discussion, Ma Chao also deliberately put forward the two concepts of "formation drill" and "military rehearsal", which won the unanimous approval of everyone, saying that although there were small defeats in this battle, the lessons learned in it were an indispensable and important experience of Ma Jiajun, which should be used as a reference and compiled into the books of the military training hall for all outstanding non-commissioned officers to learn.

At this summary meeting, everyone unanimously said that although the young master was deliberately angry, he was able to learn from it, which was really a great luck for the Ma family army and a great fortune for the people. And Ma Chao did not dare to be praised by this, saying that the main responsibility was still on himself, and promised to bury those fallen soldiers and treat their families well. In the end, the meeting came to a perfect conclusion in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

After leaving, the ugly brother was still puzzled, and weakly asked Yang Fu, who had a good relationship: "Yishan, I just said that the sandbag is not enough to fill the moat, why are the young master and you smart people happy?" ”

When this sentence came out, Pang De and Ma Dai, who also knew nothing, also came to Yang Fu's side, waiting for Yang Fu's answers. And Yang Fu was even more shocked, and replied weakly: "Ugly brother, didn't you say that the sandbag can't fill the moat?" ”

"yes, but what's that? It's nothing more than that the ditch in Longxi County is deeper, and the water flows faster......" The ugly brother replied embarrassedly, and finally he said more: "I just want to calculate, how many sandbags will be needed to fill the moat!" Where are we going to find so many sacks......"

After hearing this, Pang De and Ma Dai both nodded, and it seemed that their thinking was also at the level of the ugly brother. And Yang Fu patted his head in pain, and said a little angrily: "Ugly brother, you! We thought you had thought of the big strategy of flooding Longxi! If the young master knows that you are thinking about those useless things, I don't know if this military merit will be counted as for you! ”

"Flooded Longxi? What does this have to do with punching bags? "After a long time, the ugly brother still doesn't understand.

And Pound seemed to have opened his mind, and ran out with a smoke, without even looking back when the ugly brother yelled behind him.

"Yishan, what kind of madness did Ling Ming make?"

"You're just crazy, he's in a hurry to order his subordinates to cut down wood and make a small raft!"

"Oh? Then I'll go too, I can't let him take the lead anyway! "Brother Ugly doesn't care about flooding Longxi and Longdong at this time, anyway, these clever strategists in the sky must be flooded if they say it's flooding. If you don't understand this question, you can think about it slowly in the future or take the time to ask it again, but if you let Pound take the credit, then your face will be lost!

"It seems that the young master's creation of a group of wise and brave generals who are independent of each other still has a long way to go......" Behind him, Jia Fox sighed leisurely: This Pound has the style of a general, but the strategy is still a little insufficient; Ugly Brother is a fierce general, although he has grown, but he is more suitable for small-scale conspiracy; And Ma Dai is okay, at least he is still young, but he is also fourteen years old this year, and when Ma Chao was fourteen years old, he had already emerged and become famous in Liangzhou......

'Famous generals in the Central Plains since ancient times are not bad at all. It seems that this cultivation alone is not enough, and there are a few more generals who have been abducted, otherwise there are tens of thousands of troops under his command, and there is no one to command, wouldn't it be very depressing? Ma Chao also heard the conversation of these people, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table: It seems that there is only one trip to Chang'an, and the strategists don't say anything, just Lu Bu's subordinates, as well as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun...... Well, Zang Ba is also okay, and the rest of the six strong generals are also reasonable......

Pity Lu Bu, who was already uncomfortable in Chang'an, didn't know that someone was ready to dig into his corner......
