Cao Zhen listened to Chen Tai's words, and couldn't help but sneer: "What are you kidding, they piled up the river sand so far, if they use it as a base to surround Chang'an, a wall is at least twenty miles long." Such a big city, I Cao Zidan don't say I've seen it, I haven't heard of it, if the Shu army wants to build it, it will take at least three or five years of hard work, is this possible. ”

Chen Tai said: "I heard that cement is built much faster, let alone a single city wall." At the beginning, the Shu army built the street pavilion city, but it was built in three months, and more than two months of it took time to collect materials.

That Ma Chao is on the grassland, and dozens of cities are built in a year, and the general has to guard against it. ”

Cao Zhen said angrily: "If the Shu army really plans to build a city, I can only send troops to destroy it, but the Shu army is encamped outside the four gates, with a battalion of 20,000 people, heavily guarded, and watching and helping each other, how can I defend it if you tell me."

The Shu army is eager for us to go out of the city to fight him! ”

Chen Tai couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, and sighed and said: "I just hope that the Shu army is not what we think, or the time to build the city is not so fast, otherwise they really build a city wall outside Chang'an and surround Chang'an, and our army will mutiny." ”

However, the facts told Cao Zhen that he had guessed correctly.

A month later, the craftsmen rushed over from Longyou, and in a month's time, Wei Yan had already led his troops to burn a large amount of cement, and as for the materials, they were piled up.

Liu Chan ordered people to choose a good day and an auspicious day, on the bank of the Wei River, after worshipping the god of heaven and earth and river, he ordered the construction of the city.

It was November winter 226 A.D.

The east gate of Chang'an, the Han military camp.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

Liu Chan was sitting in front of the desk reviewing the folds.

Now it has been more than two months since he took Guanzhong, and Liu Chan has been handling government affairs in the camp outside Chang'an.

"Huhuhu......"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside the tent, blowing the cloth open, and the cold wind blew into the tent, making a mess inside the tent, and the recitals on the table were also blown in pieces.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins! Suddenly a strong wind blew, and we were defenseless. At the door of the tent, the guard came in and knelt on the ground to ask for mercy.

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Add a layer of animal skin to the camp cloth, and if you make it thicker, you won't be able to blow it, you should pay attention and go out." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." The soldiers thanked Liu Chan, except for the camp tent.

"It's getting winter wind, and it's getting colder." Zhuge Liang picked up the folds blown off the ground and put them on the table, looked at the camp cloth that was propped up by the wind and said.

Liu Chan walked to the brazier, put a few pieces of charcoal into the brazier, rubbed his cold palms and said: "Now that the city wall has begun to be built, the weather is getting colder and colder, don't let the project stop because of the cold weather, let Longyou bring a batch of winter clothes over." ”

"No!" Zhuge Liang nodded.

Liu Chan returned to his seat and asked, "Have the ploughing cattle sent by Liangzhou and the officials from Chengdu arrived?" ”

"The cattle are already on the way, and the officials sent from Chengdu have taken office, but there are still a lot of shortages." Zhuge Liang replied: "Weichen has summoned the officials of the Wei State from all over the original Guanzhong to come here, and His Majesty can test their talents and talents at that time. ”

"Here?" Liu Chan looked at the narrow tent and smiled: "It seems that the scale here is a little smaller." ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Thirty miles to the south, there is a city, called Du County, also known as Du Ling, which is where the mausoleum of Emperor Xiaoxuan is located. Weichen has sent people to Du County to prepare for the dots, and now that the weather is getting colder, His Majesty can go to Du County to deal with government affairs. ”

"With Da Sima doing things, it will be much easier for me." Liu Chan smiled, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Du County seems to be Du Ji's hometown, right?" I often hear Master Xun talk about this person. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Yes, Du Yi shot at the pseudo-Wei official Zhishang Shu, which was once recommended by Xun Lingjun." This person is a great talent, and his governing ability is not weak and straightforward.

It's a pity that he likes to do things by himself, and two years ago he tried the boat on the Tao River, but unfortunately encountered a storm and sank in the river. My cousin, who didn't make it, almost died in the water. ”

The cousin Zhuge Liang refers to is Zhuge Dan, when he and Du Ji tried the boat together, but Du Ji died badly, and Zhuge was rescued.

Liu Chan asked: "Then the Du Ji family is in Du County?" ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "Du Yi has a son named Du Shu, after Du Ji died, Cao Pi repeatedly asked for edicts, but he did not do anything. Du Shu is quite famous, has the style of his father, has an excellent reputation in his hometown, and is a talent of the state and county, and Weichen is trying to recommend this person to His Majesty. ”

"Great!" Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Chan clapped his palms, his face full of excitement.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, although Du Shu is talented and learned, he is not as good as his father Du Ji, and he can also serve as a county guard, or assassinate the history, so he doesn't need to be so excited, right?

However, how did Zhuge Liang know that Liu Chan was not excited about Du Shu, Liu Chan was happy that he could get Du Shu's son, Du Ji's grandson.

That is, Du pre.

This is a remarkable figure, not to mention his merits, just before the Ming Dynasty, he was among the civil and military temples at the same time, you can know his ability.

The Temple of Literature, the Temple of Martial Arts, is a famous general and a virtuous person evaluated by all dynasties.

For example, the Temple of Literature, the main worship of Confucius, followed by four matches, ten philosophers, and seventy-nine sages, all of whom are great writers and scholars of all dynasties, and have made noble contributions to literature.

Du Pre is one of the sages.

And Wumiao, the main sacrifice of Lu Shang, that is, the well-known Jiang Ziya, there are ten philosophers, seventy-two generals, Zhuge Liang is one of the ten philosophers, and Du Pre, is one of the seventy-two generals.

And these people are all famous generals and military strategists of all dynasties.

Before the Ming Dynasty, there was only one person in Du Pre, and at the same time in the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Wu enjoyed worship. After the Ming Dynasty, Zhuge Liang also entered the Temple of Literature and enjoyed the worship of the two temples at the same time.

Wenwu Temple is the highest evaluation of Wenchen generals in all dynasties, and it is an affirmation to be included in it.

Of course, it's not that you won't be powerful if you don't enter the Wenwu Temple, for example, Xue Rengui, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, has great military achievements, so he didn't enter the Wuwu Temple, but if he can get in, he must be a powerful person.

Du Pre was able to enter the Temple of Literature because he made notes for "Zuo Chuan", and he was able to enter the Wu Temple because Du Pre was the commander-in-chief of the destruction of Eastern Wu.

Originally, Liu Chan thought that Du Yu should be in Luoyang, but he didn't expect to stay in Chang'an's hometown.

Liu Chan asked Zhuge Liang, "Da Sima, when will the latest batch of officials arrive?" ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and asked, "You can arrive in three days." ”

Liu Chan thought for a while and said, "In this case, Da Sima and Situ will go to Du County with me first to produce an exam paper. ”
