Nanling City is a new building, in addition to some people who moved in from the north, only a small number of people around Nanling have migrated in, and the entire Nanling City is almost still in a barren state.

In Nanling Castle, only the north and east of the city are currently used, and the south and west of the city are now temporarily used as garrisons.

As the new capital of this side of the force, there is absolutely no problem in becoming a large city with a large population in the future, but it is a pity that just like Nanling City, Lu Zhe's power is too new, and it is estimated that there is no hope of flooding Nanling City in a short time.

After the forces of various countries came to Nanling, they were arranged in a temporary post house about two miles away from Lu Zhe's mansion, and Lu Zhe was holding a banquet to entertain his subordinates, and the Zhao envoys, Wei envoys, and Han envoys in the post house also gathered together to bake a fire and talk.

To tell the truth, the majestic Nanling Castle has a deep impression on many first-time visitors, and when they first see the six-zhang high city wall, especially the city wall with many edges and corners, they immediately have a feeling of "this city is impregnable". When they walked through the wide and deep gate, they thought they had entered the city, but instead of the scenery inside the city, they saw the second towering wall, and they were speechless for a moment.

The second wall of Nanling Castle is far higher than the first wall, so it is designed to form an effective long-range support for the first wall with a condescending position when defending.

"How afraid is Lu Zhe of being beaten to the city?" Many people wondered, the forces led by Lu Zhe have been expanding outward, is it necessary to invest so much resources to build such a terrifying city wall?

In fact, Lu Zhe only spent a lot of labor to build the city wall of Nanling City, and to be honest, it didn't hurt much in terms of resources, but it was just to cut down many trees to make necessary supports and planks. And the construction of the first and second city walls is made of mud, and there are many of these things on Yun Mengze's side. Only the inner city walls are made of cement, which is the reason why the cement is a relatively late thing.

When the envoys of the Three Kingdoms came to Nanling City, the city walls were being restored to bricklaying and other operations, and they were speechless again when they entered the city, because there were few buildings inside Nanling City with its majestic city walls. But it was the wide road with no end in sight that opened their eyes.

The roads were built at a later stage, so they were paved with cement. No one has ever seen this kind of road, and no one can figure out what cement is, but the ground is solid and flat, so that the carriage and horses will not feel bumpy at all, and the road is gray and gray to look very high-grade, and I can't help but sigh again.

"Lu Hou, this is taking Nanling as the capital city under construction!" Wei Bao took a sip of Nanling wine, his expression was exaggerated.

There are many topics to talk about when they get together, and they have just roughly talked about the current situation of their country, and then they talked about what they have seen and heard in Nanling City.

Han Wei naturally has nothing to say. It has always been the kind of situation where the leader holds the title of monarch but is weak. Zhao Guo seems to be strong, but the first thing after Qin sent troops was to take Zhao Guo, and how long did Zhao Guo regain his position, so it was naturally very uncomfortable.

"I heard that Nanling City is close to two hundred miles in circumference?" Wei Bao seems to have a habit of fragmented thoughts, and he keeps chattering about himself without others responding, and then his tone is full of envy.

Two hundred li is not, and the area of Nanling City is about one hundred and eighty li, considering that one mile is about 300 meters now, the size of Nanling City that Lu Zhe wants to build is estimated to be about the same as Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

When the city was first built, Lu Zhe's first consideration was not the size of the city. Instead, the surrounding dangerous terrain was used, and after repeated modifications, the area would become so huge, but people such as Wei Bao, Zhang Liang, Tian Shu, and Li Zuoche didn't know that at all. What they thought of was that Lu Zhe had worked too hard for the people and money, and it was strange that he had worked so hard for the people and money, but he saw that Qianshou was doing well along the way.

"Lu Hou is also rich under his rule. There are screams everywhere waiting to be fed, but the Qianshou under the rule of Lu Hou is full of red food, and the clothes are not comparable to it. Wei Bao said and saw that Li Zuoche, the deputy envoy of Zhao State, had been looking at him with strange eyes, and couldn't help asking, "What are you staring at me all the time?" ”

Li Zuoche met Wei Bao for the first time. He didn't have a good impression of this Wei envoy who had been chattering, Wei Bao didn't have the temperament that a royal family should have as a royal brother, not to mention that he loved to have broken thoughts.

How so? It's not just Li Zuoche. Even Uncle Tian looked down on Wei Bao, who had no royal temperament, so he was reluctant to talk.

When Wei Bao was young, the Wei State had been destroyed by the Qin State, and the Wei State was not reduced to a commoner by the royal family that had been relocated to Xianyang. Wei Bao has been living in hardship since he was a child, or has his life only improved this year, without education and etiquette training, where did he get the royal bearing?

"Uh......" Li Zuoche was a little puzzled when asked, they got together to confess to each other, not to make people admire Lu Zhe's strength.

"I understand, the Wei State has declined, so you always ......" Wei Bao was dissuaded by Zhang Liang, who had a good relationship, halfway through speaking.

"Prince, please listen to a good word." Zhang Liang's tone when he spoke was always gentle, which was not a bad metaphor, but the aristocracy should speak unhurriedly to appear magnanimous, not Wei Bao's kind of jumping out or hanging Erlang to say nothing. He politely saluted the three people present and said, "Although it is only less than a year, Lu Hou first fought against the Baiyue tribe alliance army to gain Nanjun, attacked Guiyue to gain Qianzhong County, and then attacked Deng Zong's Hengshan, and the rising trend has been formed. Recently, Lu Hou fought first against the Qin army, and then against the Chu state, and fought two wars......"

"Wait!" Wei Bao cut off Zhang Liang's words, making Uncle Tian and Li Zuoche next to him frown secretly. But Wei Bao didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and said directly: "I heard that Lu Hou did not defeat the Qin army, but for some reason the Qin army surrendered?" ”

There are many versions of the rumor. First, it is said that Lü Zhe besieged the Qin army with absolute superiority, causing 110,000 Qin troops to surrender. Second, it was said that Lu Zhece rebelled against Sima Xin, the commander of the Qin army in the south, and made a heavy promise or something, but no one could say what the promise was, so Sima Xin led his troops to join him. The third said that Lü Zhe agreed to what the Qin State wanted, and then the First Emperor issued an edict to let the Qin army stay in the south and be under the command of Lü Zhe.

Several versions have the same point, that is, the 110,000 Qin army has indeed been dispatched by Lu Zhe, and this time Lu Zhe was able to defeat the Chu State because of the elite army of 110,000 Qin army.

What Wei Bao said was exactly where Zhao Envoy and Han Envoy were entangled, among which Uncle Tian and Li Zuoche were more worried.

Although Lu Zhe's side has removed the banner of Qin, Lu Zhe has not raised the anti-flag so far, and even in many aspects such as army structure and administration, it is still the same as that of Qin.

On the other hand, Lü Zhe was at war with the Qin army, and heard that the army sent had invaded Ba County. In terms of manpower, Lu Zhe also accepted many leaders of the rebel army who raised troops, as representatives were Huan Chu, Wu Rui, and Zhou Wen, and those lesser-known small leaders abounded. At the same time, seeing that Lu Zhe arranged the post house to give Zhao Weihan these envoys, it was not like what he should do as a Qin minister.

They couldn't understand what Lu Zhe wanted to do, so they couldn't come up with an effective plan to target. For example, Uncle Tian and Li Zuoche only came when they heard that Lu Zhe was fighting with the Qin army, but after they came, they heard the news that Lu Zhe had increased the number of 110,000 Qin troops, and they should have immediately asked for an alliance. And Zhang Liang originally asked to negotiate how to cooperate against Qin after asking for a meeting, but in the end he didn't know how to speak.

According to Zhang Liang's judgment of many combinations, although Lu Zhe has only risen for a year, he has fought against the Baiyue Coalition Army, the Qin Army, and the Chu Army, and winning all three battles is already the most difficult period in the early stage, so Lu Zhe will definitely have a share in the future world. Moreover, it was particularly surprising that he saw that Lu Zhe was not in a hurry to expand but was gradually consolidating his territory.

Lu Zhe did not have a good background, which had been investigated clearly after Lu Zhe's sudden rise. It is really rare for a person with no good background to have strong strength to be able to see through the crisis brought about by the theory of rapid expansion.

If Lu Zhe has been developing steadily like this, Lu Zhe will definitely be one of the strongest forces in the world in the future, which is not only visible to Zhang Liang, but also believes that many people who understand the general trend of the world know it in their hearts.

The current general trend of the world is not complicated, Han Wei is still half-dead, Chu should also be weak after the defeat, Zhao is difficult to fight against Qin, Yan is in a corner of peace, Qi is rising strongly, Qin seems to be decadent but the national strength is not damaged.

In addition to the original Warring States, some small forces also appeared after a few months of development and annexation and expansion, and Lu Zhe was just a rapid and powerful one, and there was a team of about 50,000 people under the command of a leader named Chen Sheng in Shandong, and there were even more armed forces between thousands and 10,000.

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Wei Bao also wondered, getting together was originally to chat, and they didn't speak and just looked at the fire blankly, what does this mean.

Zhang Liang wanted to say, but didn't he just say that half of it was truncated? He originally wanted to start with the antecedents, and then lead the topic to how the countries should befriend Lu Zhe together, even if Lu Zhe did not attack Qin, he should persuade Lu Zhe not to send troops against the Six Kingdoms.

"To tell you the truth, the king sent me here this time to ask Lu Hou for help." What Uncle Tian said was nonsense, who didn't come to Nanling to ask Lu Zhe.

Wei Bao answered: "Yes, yes, Brother Wang sent Leopard here to get help from Lu Hou." ”

Uncle Tian didn't pay attention to Wei Bao at all, and looked at Zhang Liang: "Presumably the purpose of the Han envoy is also like this, right?" ”

There is nothing to hide, Zhang Liang nodded: "Exactly." ”

Uncle Tian paused for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile: "Gentlemen, to be honest, I really can't see through what Lu Hou wants. didn't talk about asking for help, but was deeply afraid that Lu Hou would send troops to the Central Plains. ”

Wei Bao opened his mouth wide and spit out a sentence: "Lu Hou sent troops to the Central Plains? Wouldn't Wei be the first to bear the brunt? (To be continued......)
