"Get out!" Seeing that the knight who was coming to the death still kneels down and cannot get up. Zhongshan Prime Minister Zhang Chun shouted angrily.

"Here!" The knight turned and left without being humble.

"The kingdom's anger." When the messenger left, a man walked out from behind the screen. This man was blessed with a fairy and gloomy appearance. He must be the demon in Taipingqing's leadership.

"Oh." Zhang Chun sighed: "Sangqiu is just an old city with a low terrain and a border. People fled and have long been abandoned. However, after all, it is the land of the ancestors. It is a way to fight for the land. Now it is easy to slaughter and sell it with others!"

As the prime minister of a country with great power, Zhang Chun was helpless because the current Han vassal states were separated by the separation of sovereignty and governance.

The prime minister only has the power of governance, but the sovereignty remains the ownership of the king. Therefore, a piece of unwelcome border wasteland was assigned to another king, and the king of Zhongshan could decide for himself.

"Since it is a abandoned city, why should the prime minister be angry with thunder?" the Taoist advised.

"See, Immortal Master." Zhang Chun pointed to the screen and said: "Sangqiu City is located south of the Nanyi River, backed by the ancient Yan Great Wall. It goes deep into our country and connects it to several cities around it to form a solid line of defense. Once we attack Ji Kingdom in the north, we must destroy Sangqiu City, enemy city, Santai City, and several cities blockade. Ji King Liu Bei is good at creating it, or if it is not out of March, each city will be as solid as a god. Our army has no weapons to attack the city, and the road is muddy. How can we capture it in a hurry?"

"March..." The Taoist clenched his beard and smiled: "We rushed to the north before the solid foundation he built the border, and marched north to join forces with the Wuhuan of the three counties, attacked from top to bottom, and destroyed the country in one battle!"

"That's great." Zhang Chun was overjoyed.

"But I don't know how many soldiers and horses the Prime Minister has?" the Taoist couldn't help asking.

"The county and state soldiers are 3,000, and the private soldiers are 5,000. My younger brother Zhang Ju is a powerful man in Yuyang and is now the prefect of Mount Tai. I made an agreement with him to work together. (Zhang) Ju has secretly recruited thousands of Mount Tai bandits and hid in the valley. With just one order, he will bravely go north and join forces with us."

"Oh?" Taoist also liked: "I have heard of the heroes of Mount Tai. How many people have been recruited now?"

"About three thousand." Zhang Chun smiled and said, "Thanks to the leader's strong help, he can recruit thousands of strong soldiers."

"Who is in charge?" the Taoist asked again.

"The Langya thief Yan Lang led Wu Dun, Yin Li, Changba, Sun Kang, and Sun Guan Taishan Five Gang."

"The number of three thousand is still too small." The Taoist thought for a while and said, "Youzhou Holy Sect has suffered repeated disasters and has no foundation. The Wuhuan of the three counties sent 30,000 troops. We also need to collect 10,000."

Zhang Chun replied: "Taishan County, the land connects mountains and seas, and the people flew. There are often unlucky people who take risks and cause rebellion, and Baoshan is a bandit. This is a bandit bandit. Since his younger brother Zhang Ju became the prefect of Taishan, he has secretly formed thieves in various villages. If you take it for yourself, you will have a lot of gold and silver."

"This matter is easy." The Taoist smiled profoundly: "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. The prime minister only carries about the recruitment of wealth and goods, and there is no need to worry about it."

"In this way, I sent a message to my companion and asked him to recruit all of them." The matter was about to come, and the more tigers and wolves the men under my command should be better.

The main reason why Liu Bei chose an ancient city to rebuild it was to save valuable time.

The so-called tall buildings rise from the flat ground.

"Flat" is the key to building tall buildings. The so-called flat ground refers to a solid foundation.

Before building a city, the foundation needs to be laid. Before building a foundation, it is necessary to conduct "land inspection". There are different titles such as "distinguishing the earth method" and "called the earth method".

The so-called soil identification means that after the foundation site is selected, the exploration well is first dug and inspected. It is best to "the soil is fine but not loose, oily but not dry, bright but not dark".

The current "hole exploration method" is very similar to the pit exploration method in later exploration.

Specifically: "Take a piece of soil, and call it one inch from four sides. It weighs more than nine liang to be auspicious place, five or seven liang to be auspicious place, three or four liang to be inauspicious place. Or use a bucket to measure soil, and crush the soil to flatten the bucket mouth, and call it, and each bucket is ten jin as the best, eight or nine jin as medium, and seven or eight jin as low."

The essence of the concept of good and bad luck actually refers to the compactness and firmness of the soil. This is used to infer the advantages and disadvantages of the foundation's breathable and water permeability and the size of the bearing capacity. This is not superstitious.

If it is a "bad place", it is not appropriate to build a city, so you need to change the city site and continue to distinguish the soil until you find the "good place".

But if you are in a desperate situation, you must build a city on a "bad place". There is also a way.

There are roughly two methods for treating soil in the "evil land": soil replacement method and compact reinforcement method.

The soil replacement method is to dig out all the soils of the "bad land" and "lower" within a certain depth range under the foundation. Change the soils of the "lucky land" and "higher" and then compact them in layers to serve as a holding layer. In order to increase stability and bearing capacity, "broken brick clay" or more powerful "three-in-one soil" will even be replaced.

Tightening reinforcement method: In a nutshell, it is to use piles to reinforce the soil layer. Similar to dry-branch-type buildings, the soil layer is soft and not enough to support it, so the pile columns are lowered to assist in the load bearing. According to the different bearing capacity, the number, density and thickness of the pile columns are different. When Liu Bei was young, he used a gloomy wood to nail it into the mud to build the Yishe Medical Center, so he borrowed this method.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Liu Bei's Ji Kingdom was located at the junction of Han, Zhao and Yan, and the three countries were willing to pay any effort to defend the national border.

Taking Santai City as an example, Liu Bei has ordered people to see that the foundation is rammed like an iron plate. From the excavation of the edge of the foundation, it was found that the total thickness of the actual rammed earth is two trough (3.1m), and each layer of rammed earth is more than two inches thick (4 to 5 cm). Just like a hundred steel making, it is rammed layer by layer, and even accumulated a thickness of two trough! There are even three layers of pebbles on the bottom of the rammed earth for reinforcement. Gravel, broken bricks, tiles, etc. are added to the rammed earth to further increase the strength.

It is conceivable how he spared no effort this city was when it was built.

Whenever he saw these remaining ancient monuments, Liu Bei felt awe. What kind of civilization was the ancient pre-Qin period? How many catastrophes did the land of China go through? I am afraid that this long river of history will not be recorded in historians throughout their lives.

The same thing is said. Without visiting this era in person, how can we know the fragments of these civilizations that have been forgotten by most people in the future?

The original site should be rebuilt, and it is most convenient to save a lot of tedious labor and build tall buildings directly on the ground.

Sangqiu City was once the capital of Hou Guoguo, and it must be far superior to ordinary cities when it was built.

This is another important reason why Guan Ning tried his best to choose this city.

Liu Bei understood it and then used tens of millions of gold to exchange for a barren land.

Just as Liu Bei built a city and made a punctual state, his Majesty, who was far away in Luoyang, was not idle either.

At the end of August, Your Majesty appointed He Jin as the general and led the five schools of Yulin and Beiying to station Duting in Luoyang to conquer the capital. He also set up Hangu, Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, Huayuan, Arc deputies, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin Eight Passes, and established the eight passes. He was the eight passes to control the military affairs of the eight passes to guard the security of Kyoto.

At this point, Luoyang City has four sanitation barriers, with many majestic passes, and the situation is dangerous and solid. It is collectively known as the "Eight Pass Capitals".

Just as His Majesty said before leaving, when he met Liu Bei for the last time before leaving, his Majesty said. As long as you guard Luoyang and let Taiping Road rage Guandong, I can also sit firmly at the fishing platform. Seeing cranes and clams fighting, I will reap the benefits of the fisherman.
