After Zhang Yan returned to Pengcheng, he put all his thoughts on building the city, and in order to complete it as soon as possible, he transferred 50,000 people from Xiapi to join the team of expanding the city.

As a person with modern thinking, Zhang Yan fully demonstrated his divine power in this era, in order to make the city wall stronger, he used his familiar modern knowledge to "invent" cement, and immediately put cement into use in the construction of the city.

In addition, Zhang Yan also taught Minfu how to use levers, and personally built a set of pulleys for blacksmiths to copy thousands of sets, and then used these pulleys to make many personal power hoists.

In this way, the people will save a lot of effort to carry things, and then the time will naturally be saved.

Half a month later, the first phase of Pengcheng expansion project was completely completed, and a city wall with a height of more than three zhang was like a huge circle, covering all the people inside.

After the city walls, city gates, and city towers were built, Zhang Yan took the city with civil and military personnel to inspect and see if there were any deficiencies.

After some inspection, Zhang Yan personally pointed out some deficiencies and asked the subordinate officials in charge of supervising the work to immediately bring the people under his jurisdiction to renovate.

There are no big problems, there are not many small problems, and the first phase of the expansion of Pengcheng can basically be regarded as completed.

For this reason, Zhang Yan also specially organized a bonfire party, asking everyone to participate, celebrate with the whole world, and have fun with the people.

After that, in order to relieve the pressure of this period of time, Zhang Yan deliberately took a three-day vacation, and after three days, the second phase of Pengcheng's expansion project will be carried out.

During the construction of the first phase of the project, Zhang Yan, based on Mi Fang's special contribution, deliberately let Mi Fang serve as the lieutenant of Pengcheng, and justifiably left him in Pengcheng.

After all, the relationship between Zhang Yan and Mi Zhen has been basically confirmed, and for such a long time, the two have been in constant correspondence, and between the lines, there is even more intimacy.

Taking advantage of the fact that the three days were fine, Zhang Yan rode on the dark cloud snow horse, went to Mifu in Tancheng, and found a very haode matchmaker in the local area, brought enough gifts, and officially proposed to Mi Zhen.

In ancient times, if you want to get married, you must go through a set of complicated etiquette, which are six procedures, namely, Nacai, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Greeting, all of which are indispensable.

Nacai, that is, the man first sends a matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage, and after the woman agrees, he sends a messenger to send a gift to formally propose.

After Nacai ended, the messenger immediately asked the name of the woman's parents, the woman's own name, ranking, and date of birth.

After the name-calling, the man receives the auspicious omen, and the messenger returns to the woman's house, and the marriage is officially confirmed, which is Najib.

After the end of Najib, the man gives the woman a gift, whether rich or poor, the gift is indispensable, this is called Najib.

After giving the gift, the man sent someone to the woman's house to choose the date of marriage, in fact, the man had already determined the date of marriage during the divination, and the "invitation date" was just a humble excuse to show respect for the woman's opinion.

When the agreed wedding date arrives, the groom comes home at dusk to greet his relatives (marrying a wife at dusk is said to be the original meaning of "marriage"). These are the six rites of marriage in ancient times.

Zhang Yan didn't know anything about this, so everything was done according to the matchmaker's arrangement. He tossed around in Tancheng for three days, and then the wedding date of the two was determined, on the tenth day of March next year.

After that, Zhang Yan left Tancheng and quickly returned to Pengcheng.

As soon as Zhang Yan returned to Pengcheng, his butt was not yet hot, when he heard someone report that a team of people from outside the city wanted to see Zhang Yan by name.

He soon came to the castle tower and looked out of the city, but saw two carriages parked at the gate of the city, two men in robes standing on the snow, and several strong men guarding them.

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhao?" Zhang Yan only glanced at it and immediately recognized these two people, they were Wang Lang and Zhao Yu.

Zhang Yan asked the soldiers to open the city gate, let Wang Lang and Zhao Yu in, and he hurriedly went down the city tower and came to the door hole of the city gate as quickly as possible.

As soon as they met, Zhang Yan said extremely humbly: "Lord Wang, Lord Zhao, I'm really sorry, my subordinates didn't recognize the two adults, it's really ......."

Wang Lang patted the snowflakes on his body, hurriedly interrupted Zhang Yan's words, and hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang doesn't have to blame himself, he can't blame them." ”

Zhao Yu echoed casually: "Yes, Lord Zhang, you see us dressed like this, even we don't know ourselves anymore." ”

Only then did Zhang Yan notice that Wang Lang and Zhao Yu were dressed as merchants, and the accompanying personnel were also dressed in strong suits, which looked no different from the merchant team. He asked suspiciously, "Why are the two adults dressed like this?" ”

"Lord Zhang didn't know, the two of us were ordered to go to Chang'an to meet today. But if you want to go from Xuzhou to Chang'an, you have to go through Cao Cao, or Yuan Shu's Shili territory, if we don't dress up, how can we come back smoothly? ”

"It turns out that the two adults are going to Chang'an, no wonder the two adults look full of weather, it seems that they must have been tortured along the way. Today, Zhang Yan is in Pengcheng to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two adults, please inside! ”

Zhang Yan immediately ordered people to go back to the Taishou Mansion first, and then arrange for someone to prepare a banquet, and he took Wang Lang and Zhao Yu to walk slowly and leisurely towards the Taishou Mansion.

As soon as Wang Lang and Zhao Yu entered Pengcheng, they felt much safer, and their previous worries were completely gone. However, the new scene of Pengcheng surprised Wang Lang and Zhao Yu.

From the outside, Pengcheng is a huge city, but as soon as you enter the city, you will find that hundreds of thousands of people are all in the shacks, the military camp is also very simple, the stoves can be seen everywhere, the bonfires are one after another, and the original Pengcheng is still a ruin.

The ruin of Pengcheng was already seen by Wang Lang and Zhao Yu when they went to Chang'an, but what they didn't expect was that the two of them had only left Xuzhou for two months, why had the walls of Pengcheng been built? And just from the outside, it is enough to be shocked by his grandeur and majesty.

The group chatted while walking, Zhang Yan inquired about the results of Wang Lang and Zhao Yu's visit to the Son of Heaven, and learned that Tao Qian was officially named Xuzhou Mu as today's son, crowned as General Anton, and named Marquis of Liyang.

Moreover, even Wang Lang and Zhao Yu were enshrined as Taishou by the Son of Heaven. Wang Lang is the Taishou of Huiji, and Zhao Yu is the Taishou of Guangling.

In addition, Wang Lang and Zhao Yu did a practical thing without Tao Qian, that is, in front of the Son of Heaven, they also applied to Zhang Yan for the position of a general.

Who would have thought that the Son of Heaven really agreed to Wang Lang and Zhao Yu's request, enshrined Zhang Yan as the general of Xiaocai, and awarded the general a seal ribbon for Wang Lang and Zhao Yu to take back.

In addition, after listening to Wang Lang and Zhao Yu's descriptions of Xiapi and Pengcheng in Xuzhou, the Son of Heaven learned that after the death of the kings of Xiapi and Pengcheng, because they had no sons and no successors, they abolished the feudal states of Xiapi and Pengcheng, and changed their names to counties, that is, Xiapi County and Pengcheng County.

Wang Lang and Zhao Yu have gained a lot from this trip.

It is no wonder that the current Son of Heaven is firmly held hostage in Chang'an City by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and he is actually a puppet. The princes of the Quartet did not buy the accounts of Li Dao and Guo Yan, but at this time, under the persuasion of Wang Lang and Zhao Yu, Tao Qian took the initiative to go to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, which was tantamount to recognizing the status of Li Dao and Guo Yan, plus there was an old acquaintance of Tao Qian in the court, Zhu Jun, so it was naturally inevitable to be crowned an official and rewarded.

Zhang Yan took Wang Lang and Zhao Yu to the hall, Wang Lang and Zhao Yu took out the seal of the general and handed it to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan was very grateful, warmly entertained Wang Lang and Zhao Yu, and called Chen Deng, Chen Jue, and Mi Fang to accompany him, and the whole hall was happy.

At noon the next day, Zhang Yan personally sent Wang Lang and Zhao Yu out of the city, and they kept sending them far away, and he also showed reluctance, which made Wang Lang and Zhao Yu also deeply moved.

For Zhang Yan's appointment as a cavalry general, to a certain extent, it created a higher momentum for Zhang Yan.

Looking at the whole of Xuzhou, in addition to Tao Qian's position of General Anton, only Zhang Yan is a general who has really received the title, that is to say, he is already the second in Xuzhou in terms of military position.

However, Zhang Yan did not show great joy, because he had been worried about the safety of the whole of Xuzhou.

To this end, he specially sent hundreds of scouts to Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places to inquire about the news.

The second phase of Pengcheng's expansion went ahead as scheduled, but this time, Zhang Yan transferred all the troops and handed over the entire project to Chen Deng to supervise for him, while he took Mi Fang, Xu Sheng, and the soldiers in Pengcheng to start harsh training outside the city.

In this long and harsh winter, the whole land is covered with ice and snow, and even the animals rarely come out, and in the land of Pengcheng, all the people are busy.

Zhang Yan was training troops and building a city at the same time, and no one wanted to delay.

At the same time, scouts secretly snooped around the country, sending some news to Pengcheng in a steady stream.

When Zhang Yan was sorting out these news, he accidentally discovered a major news: Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was at odds with Gongsun Zhan, the Taishou of Youbeiping, and led troops to attack Gongsun Zhan, but was defeated by Gongsun Zhan, Zuihou was defeated and killed, Gongsun Zhan took advantage of the situation to occupy the entire territory of Youzhou, led the Youzhou herd, and went to the imperial court, won a reward, worshiped as a former general, and waited.

Other than that, there was no other important military information, but Zhang Yan did not let those scouts come back, but continued to lurk in various places, specifically spying for him.

Zhang Yan now has soldiers, money, food does not have to worry, the treasury of Xiapi is like an ATM, as long as Zhang Yan gives an order, the materials will be continuously transported from Xiapi, giving a great guarantee to the expansion of Pengcheng!

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, but Zhang Yan basically didn't give the people much rest time except for a few days off, and continued to expand Pengcheng day and night.

Winter has gone to spring, the long harsh winter has finally passed, the expansion of Pengcheng has come to an end, and the people who are racing against time can finally stop and rest.

In the first year of Xingping of the Han Dynasty, on the third day of the first month of March, when a tile fell on the city tower, the whole Pengcheng was completely boiling, the huge project that lasted several months, under the leadership of Zhang Yan, and the joint efforts of more than 100,000 people, Pengcheng was completely completed, a majestic, grandiose, majestic circular city, standing on this land, highlighting its heroic spirit......
