It's no wonder that Zhang Liang misunderstood, after all, Lu Zhe sent troops all the way to invite Xiao He was involved by Chen Yu, and it was spread too widely, too suspenseful and too complicated, anyone who wanted to come to Xiao He was either highly valued by Lu Zhe, or Xiao He was definitely Lu Zhe's best friend.

Lu Pheasant's family? In this era, no matter how much they are loved, women are just foils, and the first thing people think of is to invite Xiao He, unless the Lu family is Lu Zhe's relatives, otherwise they will not be valued at all.

When they arrived at Nanling, the first thing they saw was a city wall that I don't know how long it was, standing on the moat under the city wall and looking up, the height of the city was at least more than seven zhang, and the height of the second city wall was even more exaggerated, it should be about eight zhang? The wide gates also have more than one walkway, each gate has three walkways, left in and right out, and the middle walkway is not walked. Judging from the distance taken to enter the city gate, the width of the two walls is definitely more than four zhang.

There were many hangings on the walls, and some three-pole fan-shaped copper blades at least three feet long lay flat on the ground. The eight-meter-wide city wall has a large number of craftsmen who are placing ballistas and bed crossbows on some concave platforms made of bricks, which are not visible below. Looking down from above, there are many slots on the outer wall of the city wall, which are waiting for the three-zhang long cantilever to be hung down and installed, and there are chutes and gears in the structure of the inner city wall, which cannot be observed from the outside.

There are a lot of busy people in Nanling City, and the people who carry tools and work inside and outside can't be counted at all, and it seems that the soldiers can often be seen escorting the crowd into the city, seeing those Qiantou old and young, basically carrying packages, and a few are pushing carts, looking like they have been relocated from somewhere?

Enter the city. At first glance, it was a clearing of about a mile, and the concrete-paved road under their feet stretched straight ahead, as if it were a gate that led from east to west to the west of the city?

The principle of each city gate is not to extend all the way, but to reach the inner city about a mile in front of the road will be diverted, the entire outer outline of the city wall is not a standard six-pointed star shape, to the inner city is still under construction when the road is a "mouth" shaped ring shape, re-divert to the various city gates.

"It's building roads and building houses, how many people should there be?" Xiahou Ying's eyes were a little straight.

It was not only Xiahou Ying who was shocked, but also Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others who were frightened by the dense labor in Nanling City.

They walked along the road, and because of the flat terrain and the southern part of the city, a large number of huts were being built. From a distance, those thatched huts are the same in terms of specifications and land occupation, and the direction of the seating seems to have a special plan, and the orientation of each thatched hut is to sit south to north, and one by one looks very neat.

When they came to the inner city under construction, they saw that the people were pouring cement mixed with sand and gravel into the place where the frame had been built, Zhang Liang tried to ride his horse close but was stopped by a soldier, he asked what to do, but the soldier was violently expelled him.

Going out of the city from the north gate, after walking a distance, everyone in the team couldn't help but look back. Seeing the thick boom hoisting the three-edged hanging knife on the wall in the earth-shattering sound of the horn, and some craftsmen being hung down by the wooden fence to install, everyone who saw the clue secretly inhaled cold air.

"I have long heard that Lu Hou spent half a year recruiting nearly 400,000 people to build a city, but I didn't expect that the city wall would be built within half a year." Zhang Liang seemed surprised. "Not only has the city wall been built, but there is such a murder weapon on it, and in time a strong and impregnable city will be located in Nanjun."

In a short period of time, so to speak. Everyone was extremely impressed by this city that was still under construction, and compared with the shocked people from Pei County, although the third-class soldiers were surprised, they were not able to hide the pride on their faces.

Xiao He paid more attention than just the city wall. He said in a confused tone: "I vaguely see something built on the other side of the river, which looks like a canal?" ”

Hearing this, Meng San showed off: "That is called the air canal, and it is a building that cooperates with some caissons to transport water to the city. That thing can be used with a waterwheel to continuously deliver water to the city, which is amazing. ”

Zhang Liang thought of something else: "I saw that the city wall was still being built in the city just now, is that the inner city palace where Lu Hou wants to live?" ”

The palace is the place where the king is entitled to live, and the king should be called the mansion below. Obviously, Zhang Liang had a deep meaning in asking this.

Mengsan was a little disgusted by the scribe who had to ask everything on the way, and he didn't answer after looking at it.

Xiao He also wanted to know this question, he couldn't escape from serving Lu Zhe, and naturally he also wanted to know Lu Zhe's ambitions.

"That's the second inner city, and it's a place for officials to live." Meng San explained with some reluctance: "Nanling City will be very large, and there will be a third inner city." There will be a total of six city walls in the entire Nanling City. ”

Zhang Liang and Xiao He heard Mengsan say that the entire Nanling City was one hundred and eighty square miles and immediately stayed, the largest city in the world was the former Yanxia Capital Wuyang City, which was only eighty square miles.

"Listen to the lord, this generation is estimated to be only a little bigger, and it will take several generations to complete the entire Nanling City." Meng San said that he was called by the armor in front of him, and rode away.

A city that can be built in generations? It was hard for them to imagine what such a huge city would look like.

After walking north from Nanling for two days, they found many Qiantou leaders going south under the organization of the government, so that they saw many uninhabited villages on the way.

When approaching Yan County, they met the soldiers of the squad more than once, and asked about the battle situation in front of Pao Ze several times, and the answer they got was that the Qin army had stayed on the side of the fort and did not continue to move south.

The fortifications of Nanjun are perfect, and the scouts sent by Sima Xin report that the Qianshou of Nanjun is moving in large numbers, it is obvious that they are doing a good job of clearing the wall, how can the Qin army, which does not have enough military rations of more than 130,000, go south?

Xu Yan actually agreed with Sima Xin's opinion that the temptation had achieved its goal, but Xianyang seemed unwilling to send 100,000 troops south, but when he arrived at the border of Nanjun, he was a little troublesome recently, and he received the order from the National Lieutenant Administration to continue to order the march.

The officials who had good relations in the DPRK and China revealed a message to Xu Yan that the First Emperor seemed to be furious and angry in the hall during the court meeting, and Zhao Gao, who had already set off, was called back, and he didn't know what would happen.

Xianyang has recently had bad rumors about Zhao Gao, and Xu Yan has also been affected. It is said that the reason why Lu Zhe, who is in Nanjun, has become big is absolutely inseparable from Zhao Gao and Xu Yan.

The National Lieutenant's Office ordered to continue the march, and Xu Yan, who was on pins and needles, had to work hard if he wanted to put aside the relationship, so he had already used the words "at any cost" in the order to Sima Xin, ordering him to enter Nanjun within a month, otherwise he would be dealt with by military law.

Sima Xin did stay where he was after receiving 50,000 reinforcements, and the 20,000 troops in the direction of Shandu did not order to return. In fact, it was not that he did not want to lead the army to continue south, but that a large number of soldiers in the army were sick, and on the other hand, the military rations that should have been transported from Sanchuan County were affected by the rain and slowed down the journey.

In this situation, if the Qin army wants to continue south, it must at least wait for new military rations to arrive, and what Sima Xin can do recently is to block the news that a large number of soldiers in the army are sick. His blockade was very successful, at least Lu Zhe's side did not detect the relevant military information at all.

Qin Jun stayed where he was and didn't go south for a long time, Lu Zhe was actually secretly anxious in his heart, it was in this state of mind that he learned that Xiao He and the others came to Yan County and wanted to meet him but felt irritable, so he postponed it, and just sent someone to arrange a place to rest.

Later, when Meng San came to explain to Lu Zhe, Meng San said that he liked to ask questions along the way, and what kind of prime minister's grandson was Zhang Liang along the way, Lu Zhe asked clearly, and was a little confused: "Zhang Liang?" Of course he knows who Zhang Liang is, but Zhang Liang has always been called Han Liang before the successful restoration of Korea in history, why is he starting to use his original name now? In addition, Zhang Liang's ancestors are really descendants of the Korean royal family, but the blood relationship with the Korean royal family has long faded after a few hundred years.

"He's ......" Lu Zhe stopped halfway through speaking, listening to Mengsan's retelling, Zhang Liang obviously came to see him with a request, so it was not suitable for him to see. He changed his mind and ordered: "Go and invite Xiao He here." ”

Mammoth should respond to "Hey! "And go.

Lu Zhe beckoned people to prepare wine and meat, and deliberately changed his clothes, and just after the preparation was completed, there was a voice from outside that Meng San took Xiao He to see.

Since last year's Yangzhou County, Lu Zhe and Xiao He have not seen each other for nine months, and the two have met again, and the former Xiaoxiaotun chief is already the lord of the three counties, and Xiao Xiancheng has now become Mr. Xiao, who has no half of his job.

Xiao He came in and immediately saluted Lu Zhe, calling him Lu Hou, which made Lu Zhe stunned for a moment and laughed.

"Mr. Xiao, please sit down." Lu Zhe, who changed into a similar long skirt, actually looked very elegant, and he didn't wear a military uniform to see Xiao He, but he didn't want this meeting to be too formal.

Xiao He didn't feel disrespected when he saw that Lu Zhe was dressed casually, but his nervous state of mind was stabilized. He was still always smiling as before, and after sitting down, he raised the wine cup: "I don't see you in September, for Lu Hou to have such an achievement, drink this cup!" After speaking, he drank a drop by himself, and someone next to him re-drank it.

"Drink to win!" Kuaitong deliberately taught Lu Zhe some of the current etiquette, and he also has some of the temperament that a superior person should understand. After drinking, he waited for Meng San to fill the wine glass again, and he raised it again: "Mr. Xiao is tired on the way, and this lamp is for Mr. to welcome the wind." Lift it up, "Drink!" ”

Xiao He was surprised in his heart, Lu Zhe really had a big change from before September, if Lu Zhe had understood these things before.

In the third cup, Lu Zhe, as the host, was persuading him to drink again, and just raised the cup, there was a sound of asking to see him, saying that it was South Korea's Zhang Liang who pleaded with Lu Hou to see him.

Lu Zhe didn't put down the wine cup held high, "This cup, drink it for you and me to reunite!" Waiting for Xiao He to drink in return, he felt pity that Han Xin was in Nanling City, otherwise he would have all three masters, and after a pause, he ordered, "Please Mr. Zhang come in."
