This group of people rode horses and galloped like flying, and in the blink of an eye, they went out of the west gate of Jinyang and went west along the bank of Jinshui.

Jinshui is a well-known river in Bingzhou. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhibo led Han and Wei to attack Zhao, and once curbed Jin Water to irrigate Jin Yang, so Jin Water was divided into two roads: north and south. The north road is the artificial channel dug by Zhishi, irrigating acres of fields along the way, flowing through the city after flowing from the north of Jinyang, and flowing out of the city from the southwest corner to inject Fenshui. The South Road flows along the south of Jinyang City, and eventually flows into Fenshui. This river can be regarded as the key point of Jinyang, and it plays an extremely important role both militarily and economically.

Liu Kun and his entourage traced along the river, and the terrain gradually got higher and higher, and went to the direction of the Hanging Urn Mountain at the source of the Jin River. There is a cloud in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "The mountain of the hanging urn has more jade on it, more copper under it, more beasts and moose, and the water of Jin is out of the Yan." "That's the mountain.

There are many rugged and strange rocks on the Hanging Urn Mountain, and the mountain road is rugged. Liu Kun took the lead in galloping here, and had to press the bridle to move forward slowly, and his speed slowed down. Only then did the riders get a little closer.

Lu Yao approached Wang Xiu, glanced forward and asked, "Brother Zihao, ...... is this?"

Wang Xiu showed a wry smile: "I don't know. Originally, he was reading the official documents in the mansion, but suddenly got up and roared, and then rode straight here. ”

Lu Yao looked at the rest of the riders.

Yue Shigong's famous entourage was headed by Lin Jian, known as the "Sixteen Horsemen of Zhongshan". After the previous bloody battle, as many as seven people were killed. The remaining nine people are all here, and Lu Yao recognizes them. In the face of Lu Yao's inquiring eyes, they all shook their heads, revealing a blank expression.

There is an extremely huge rock on the top of the hanging urn mountain, which is more than ten zhang high, and the surrounding area is almost forty zhang, looking at it from afar, the shape is like a water urn subverted and placed. The Hanging Urn Mountain got its name from this. Liu Kun ran so far, and there was no road ahead. Everyone thought that he was going to turn his horse back, so they took the reins of the horse and brought the war horse under his crotch to both sides of the mountain road to make way for him. Who knew that Liu Kun hesitated for a moment, suddenly threw off the horse, and stepped towards the top of the mountain to climb the huge rock.

There was a lot of chaos from the ride, and everyone hurriedly dismounted.

Liu Kun jumped over the small halfway in three or two arrow steps, looked back and saw that everyone was busy, and said slowly: "Wait and rest here." Lu Yao, you come with me. ”

Lu Yao had no choice but to follow Liu Kun under the attention of everyone.

This huge rock in the shape of a hanging urn is formed in one block and is extremely steep. Liu Kun walked like a fly, like a leisurely stroll, effortlessly. Lu Yao climbed a little embarrassed.

When I finally reached the top, I saw an empty outline on all sides, and I could see it at a glance. Jinyang City is like a chess floor, and the people in the city are like ants, and they can see it all. Liu Kun stood proudly on the top of the mountain, with his hands on his shoulders, looking east. His figure is already as tall as a pine and cypress, and under the mountain wind, his robe is fluttering, and he looks like a fairy man.

Lu Yao was slightly worried in his heart, but he really didn't know what Liu Kun was calling him for, so he didn't dare to say much, so he just stood behind him.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was getting dark.

In the corner of Lu Yao's eyes, Wang Xiu waved his hand under the boulder, constantly gesturing to himself, meaning to hurry up and persuade the lord to come down, it's time to go back to the city.

Lu Yao showed a bitter look and shook his head: It's inconvenient for me to speak.

Then the acquaintances of the sixteen horsemen of Zhongshan waved their hands together and begged again and again.

Lu Yao was helpless, so he had to cough lightly.

Liu Kun suddenly asked, "Lu Yao, what do you think of this place in Jinyang?" ”

Jinyang is naturally a heroic city through the ages. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Jianzi ordered his retainer Dong An to build a city in the east of the hanging urn and north of Jinshui, that is, Jinyang City. After that, it was the capital of Zhao State, rejected the Qin people, and laid the foundation of the Seven Kingdoms; It is also the capital of Taiyuan County in the pre-Qin Dynasty and the capital of the early Han Dynasty, and is known as an important town.

And Lu Yao knew that the glory of Jinyang had not yet come: in the following thousand years, Jinyang was the capital of the former Qin State, the lower capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the northern capital of the Wu and Zhou Dynasty, the capital of the former Jin Dynasty, the capital of the Later Tang Dynasty, the Beijing of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Beijing of the Later Han Dynasty, and the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, until the middle of the twentieth century, when the warlord Yan was stationed here, and the founding marshal was helpless for a while...... This Jinyang is really worthy of the dragon qi of the northern country, and I don't know how many heroes and heroes have performed heroic poems here!

So Lu Yao pondered for a moment and replied: "Jinyang controls the mountains and rivers, and it is the foundation of Hedong because it is the shoulder of the world. This is the place where the form is victorious, and the place where the soldiers come into play. ”

This answer obviously made Liu Kun very satisfied. He nodded: "Daoming, when I first arrived in Bingzhou a few years ago, I garrisoned Huguan, and when I heard that the Hu people had captured Hedong and Hanoi, all the ministers of the shogunate were shocked, and some of them proposed to withdraw to Jizhou, and some of them were stationed in Shangdang. Only Lu Daoming is the only one who overcomes public opinion and proposes to go north to Jinyang and be compatible with me. ”

Lu Yao bowed and said: "The last general has been on the border for a long time, so there is a foolishness." ”

This sentence originated from Li Zuoche's reply when Han Xin asked Li Zuoche for advice on strategies for Yan and Qi: "When the minister hears a thousand thoughts of the wise, there will be a mistake; A fool thinks a thousand times, and he will get one. Lu Yao compared himself to Li Zuoche, and Liu Kun to Han Xin among the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, which can be regarded as a little sycophant. Coincidentally, Li Zuoche was named "Guangwu Jun", which was only one word different from Liu Kun's Guangwu Marquis.

Liu Kun laughed, pointed to Jinyang in front of him and said: "Since Zhao Jianzi built Jinyang, although it has undergone generations of repairs, it is still too narrow to use soldiers. Recently, the Hu people have been rampant, and many displaced people have fled here in various counties and counties. I intend to push the boat down the river, concentrate on Dingkou here, and then levy the people to build the city of Jinyang! ”

He beckoned Lu Yao to approach, and then gestured to the terrain of Jinyang in the distance: "You see, I intend to go here from there and build a city...... This section can rely on the topography, get there, turn to the east, build along the Fenshui, all the city walls are four zhang high, a total of twenty-seven miles around! If the construction goes well, it will be ready to see the scale at the turn of summer and autumn, and at most next year, it will be completed! ”

Liu Kun recounted his plan with a radiant look, and Yingwu's face was a little red from excitement.

"After the completion of this city, there are four stops outside Jinyang, and there is the danger of the city inside, and since then it is no longer afraid of the attack of the Huns, which can be called the soup pool of Jincheng! With this as the foundation, ten years of life and gathering, and ten years of lessons, twenty years away, the Huns are swamps! Haha, what does TD think? He patted Lu Yao's shoulder vigorously, almost making Lu Yao stumble.

Lu Yao carefully pondered the big city of Jinyang planned by Liu Kun, and thought for a moment: "Jinyang is the foundation of our army, and it is imperative to build a big city. Just ......"

He bowed down and said, "I hope the lord will forgive me for speaking bluntly." ”

Liu Kun waved his hand and said, "Just talk about it." ”

Lu Yao said: "The construction of Jinyang City is a major event, even if all the current people are used, it is still a little insufficient, plus Jiexiu, Zhongdu, Xicheng, Qixian and other places need to be repaired, it seems that all the manpower and material resources that can be mobilized have been concentrated in Taiyuan County...... If the war resumes, will there be less room for maneuver and retreat?

Jiexiu, Zhongdu, Xicheng, and Qixian, these four cities are important support points for the Jin army in the southern part of Taiyuan State. The four cities echoed each other, on the one hand, to suppress the Xiongnu Hedong army on the opposite side of the Bird Mouse Valley and Tongjun River, and on the other hand, it was enough to control the road of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting from Lishi to enter the Taiyuan Basin through the Fengshui Valley. These are important places that must be greatly repaired and garrisoned by considerable troops.

Since Lu Yao was promoted to the general of Yamen, he has been able to participate more in secrets, so he knows that the construction of these four cities alone has taken up a lot of resources. And now, Liu Kun plans to levy the people's power again, and Lu Yao really has no intention of agreeing with this.

Lu Yao was not unaware of the strategic significance of Jinyang, however, was being too obsessed with the Taiyuan Kingdom one of the reasons for Liu Kun's final defeat in historical records? In the history that Lu Yao was familiar with, Liu Kun was drawing on the gains and losses of one city and one place, but repeatedly ceded the initiative on the battlefield to the Xiongnu. In the end, once Jinyang was lost, the entire defense system of the state collapsed.

He saluted deeply: "Lord, the significance of Jinyang is not just a fortified city that is difficult to attack. What's more, with Jinyang as a barrier, we can let go of the Yanmen Xinxing Counties in the north of the state, and even Daijun Wuyuan and other places. In the humble opinion of the last general, Jinyang City only needs to be rectified slightly, and the northern counties can be pacified as soon as possible, and the integration of strength is the top priority. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yao secretly regretted it in his heart. Liu Kun in the history books guarded the lonely city of Jinyang for ten years, but the war was unfavorable, and finally fell into the hands of the villain, so he couldn't help but remind him. But Liu Kun is very assertive, he is the kind of person who will not allow others to put his beak once the plan has been decided, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a little rigid and self-conscious; I just talked about his smug assumptions, which is tantamount to reprimanding him and thinking that he is more clever than him.

Sure enough, hearing Lu Yao say this, Liu Kun's face was a little displeased.
