After the execution was over, everyone wiped away their tears and returned, and camped in the mountains and forests at night, Zhao Xin, Zhao Ping, Ma Yu and other leaders sat around the fire and discussed what to do next?

Although several people swore to God that they must avenge their families, the reality is that relying on the strength of these few people, let alone revenge, even self-preservation is a problem. Even if the food and drink of more than 100 people is not a trivial matter, even if it is by robbing the house, it can only be maintained without force, because the villages and towns of Dai County all implement the household registration system, according to the establishment of the army, the household registration is organized, and the integration of military and civilian farming and warfare is implemented, so the big villages and towns dare not move, and can only attack the scattered small villages and towns, but this kind of small villages and towns are becoming fewer and fewer, and it will become more and more difficult to maintain them in the future.

And their group can be temporarily safe now, because Daijun has not yet discovered that they have saved zài, if they do too much robbery, sooner or later they will be found out by the government, and it will be the future of their group. Therefore, many people also have a feeling of desperation, and some people advocate escaping to Yan Kingdom.

Zhao Xindao: "This time Brother Ma and I went to Yan Kingdom, and now Yan Country has long been scared by the plateau, so Yan Country is unreliable, even if we escape to Yan Kingdom, it is useless." ”

Someone said: "What then?" Aren't we cornered? ”

Zhao Xindao: "How can you be cornered? Brother Ma and I have already discussed, and now we still have two forces to rely on, one is the Qin State, in fact, before this move, someone built a lawsuit to contact the Qin State and win the support of the Qin army. It's a pity that it was not implemented, but instead pinned its hopes on Yan State, and as a result, Yan State was not reliable at all, if it was possible to contact Qin State at that time, maybe this move would have been successful. Moreover, the plateau and the Qin state have enmity, and it should be feasible for us to ask the Qin state for help now. ”

Ma Yu also said: "I went to Qin State once a few years ago, and I also have a few good friends in Qin State, so I plan to rush to Qin State immediately to see if there is a way to move Qin State and send troops to attack Daijun." ”

At this time, another man said: "And what about another force?" ”

Zhao Xindao: "It's the Huns, my family used to have some business dealings with the Huns merchants, so I also know some Hun merchants, I plan to find a few Hun merchants immediately, I hope to be introduced by them, I can meet the high-level personnel of the Huns, and explain that they came south to attack Daijun, if we can say at the same time that the Qin State and the Xiongnu sent troops to attack Daijun, and the north and south will definitely be able to defeat the plateau and avenge our family." ”

After everyone listened, they all nodded one after another, although Zhao Xin just said this, it may not be able to succeed, because everyone also knows that whether it is the Qin State or the Xiongnu, it is not easy to match, and it is difficult to say whether it is reliable or not, but for everyone at least there is a hope, which is much better than waiting to be killed.

Zhao Ping said: "One of the two of you goes to Qin and the other goes to the Xiongnu, so what about the rest of us?" ”

Zhao Xindao: "You just stay here, find a suitable place to station, recruit more people in secret, expand your strength, no matter which side we move to help, we can secretly respond, and it will be very beneficial to take revenge on the plateau in the future." ”

Zhao Ping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave the matter here, but the two of you should also be careful, whether it is the Qin State or the Xiongnu, it is not easy to deal with." ”

After a night's rest, Zhao Xin and Ma Yu also said goodbye to everyone, each brought four servants, parted ways, and went north and south respectively. And Zhao Ping led the rest of the people back to the mountains and forests where they were hiding.

―――――――― dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― the fish that slipped through the net of the powerful forces are still trying to introduce foreign forces to overthrow Gao Yuan's rule in Dai County, of course Gao Yuan doesn't know, after all, he has too many things to deal with now, and it is impossible to pay attention to even some small things, of course, even if Gao Yuan knows, he won't care too much, these few little shrimp lights can afford to turn over Lang.

After the execution of Haoqiang, then this time the incident of Haoqiang's rebellion also has an understanding, and Gao Yuan does not plan to continue to entangle, after all, now Daijun is still focusing on developing its own strength, and it cannot be consumed for a long time for Haoqiang's rebellion, which delays the development of Daijun.

Other people who participated in the rebellion and were arrested, but were not executed, were sentenced to hard labor, plus some of the people who were punished for hard labor in the past, there are now about 30,000 hard laborers in Daijun, the number is indeed not small, and they are all free labor, so Gao Yuan also decided to start expanding the Daijun town.

In fact, the expansion of Daijun City has always been a plan that the plateau wants to complete, because the current Daijun Town is only a border city, which is indeed too small, and as the capital of its own regime, it is obviously not enough. Therefore, the Daijun City must expand its scale in order to be able to resist the Qin army. In the past, it was due to a lack of manpower, but now that this problem has been basically solved, the expansion of the Daijun town can also be put on the agenda.

The officials have no objection to the expansion of the Daijun town, after all, the expansion of the Daijun town is to strengthen the defense of the Daijun town, that is, to strengthen their own security, who will oppose it?

The length of the wall of Daijun Town is 360 steps on one side, which is about 500 meters, and it is generally a medium-sized city in this era. According to the plan of the plateau, the existing Daijun city wall will not move, but will only be used as the inner city of Daijun, and from each side of the four sides to expand the distance of 240 steps outward, and then build an outer city wall, so that the unilateral length of the outer wall of Daijun can reach more than 1,150 meters long, and the area of the entire Daijun city will be expanded by more than five times, which can be regarded as a large city in this era.

Half of the expanded outer city will be used for military camps, warehouses, training grounds, etc., and the rest will be residential areas. After the expansion, the city will have a population that can accommodate up to 200,000 troops and about 600,000 inhabitants, which will be four to five times larger than it is now. , once there is a war, all the people outside the Daijun city can be accommodated.

Although the outer wall is still in a square layout, four horse faces will be built on each side of the city wall, three gates will be opened on the north and south sides, and two gates will be opened on the east and west sides, and the height of the outer wall will be temporarily set at more than three zhang, two zhang wide, and the tower will be four zhang high and four zhang deep. Compared with other fortified cities, the walls of Daijun were not very high, and in order to reduce the cost of building the walls, two five-zhang high arrow towers were built behind each horse face to compensate for the lack of overall height of the walls. And in the future, you can add arrow towers one after another.

The construction of the city wall, naturally inevitably a moat, so outside the city wall, will dig a moat along the city wall, the width is about five zhang, and introduce water control, and on both sides of the moat, each build two sheep and horse walls, each outside the four corners of the outer city, each build an acropolis, can accommodate 5,000 soldiers, and there are tunnels and the city of Daijun to communicate with each other, and the acropolis and the main city are each other's strength, support each other.

The officials did not disagree with the plan drawn up by the plateau, because according to this standard, the Daijun town would be built into a strong fortress, which was not inferior to the fortified cities of Xianyang, Daliang, and Handan in terms of defensive power alone. As long as there are enough troops and food support, it is enough to withstand the siege of a million troops. Moreover, the overall city wall is not high, so the cost will be reduced a lot.

After the plan for the expansion of the county town was determined, the construction began immediately, and after the public beheading of Haoqiang, it was also a great shock to the other people who participated in the Haoqiang rebellion, after all, the vast majority of people were afraid of death. Seeing his companions beheaded, who didn't feel hairy, so they were all honest, obeyed the arrangements of the acting county government, carried out their work, and worked very hard, and no one would supervise them at all, for fear that they would not be good at all, and they would not be dragged out by the government to behead the public.

As soon as I came back, I was busy for nearly ten days, and finally handled all the government affairs of Daijun, and the affairs of Yiqiē were basically on the right track, and Gao Yuan could also breathe a sigh of relief. After finishing official business, of course, it was his own private matter, and after half a month, Gao Yuan also officially accepted Yun Yao as a concubine.

In fact, Gao Yuan accepted Yun Yao as a concubine, which is not excluded at all, after all, since Yun Yao came to Dai County, he has been living in the mansion of the plateau, plus Yun Yao and Li Yinghong and Geng Yanyu get along very well, like sisters, and this time against Yan Guo, it is also Yun Yao who accompanies Gao Yuan on the expedition, although Yun Yao has a special ability to heal, but this is not a simple signal, because this role has always been Li Yinghong before, so as long as it is a person with a little eye, who doesn't understand what is going on.

And Yun Yao came to Daijun, and she has used her healing ability to cure many people's injuries, soldiers, officials, and civilians, and she is usually humble and gentle, so she is also loved by people from all walks of life, and she does not think that she has a silver-haired monster, and the combination of her and the plateau is also a match made in heaven, so the officials of Daijun also congratulated the plateau, and sent congratulatory gifts to express their blessings.

However, although Yun Yao and Li Yinghong have a very good personal relationship, they are like sisters, and it is said in the name that Gao Yuan now has a formal wife, Yun Yao can only be regarded as the concubine of the plateau, and now that Daijun is in the development period, this wedding is not a big deal, fortunately, Yun Yao is not a person who values form, so the ceremonies are relatively simple, Gao Yuan only set up dozens of tables in the mansion, banqueted the officials of Daijun, and Yun Yao, who had changed into a bridal costume, still toasted everyone, Then he went back to the inner room and went into a new room.
