Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 167 The Eve of the Journey to Xiliang
Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo returned to Xiaogang Village, Meng Yue and Song Zhen who stayed in the village came out to greet them.

When it came to the agreement between Xiao Beiheng and Xiao Zhuo, everyone behaved differently.

Meng Yue jumped out and clearly opposed it.The reason is that Xiao Beiheng is here to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but let them deal with the Xiliang army and King Jing's army, which is a good idea.

Song Zhen was the one who thought the most clearly among several people, and said to Xiao Zhuo:
"My lord, Xiao Beiheng's move is very clever. He saw that we don't have any soldiers and horses, so he asked us to fight Xiliang. We have to go. The only place we can fight for right now is Xiliang."

Xiao Zhuo nodded and said: "That's right, he wants to borrow my strength."

Qiu Liming asked: "My lord, the last general has thought about it all the way. Xiao Beiheng wants us to go to Xiliang, but we don't have any soldiers at hand. He didn't send troops to help us. Isn't this making things difficult for us. Anyway, he also gave us [-] soldiers Let's go horse."

Xiao Zhuo smiled, but did not answer.Song Zhen shook his feather fan and said:
"General Qiu is too worried. Even if we have [-] soldiers, we can't directly attack Xiliang. Although Xiliang was defeated by Xirong, the strength of the army is still there. My lord is also old friends with the prince and son of Xiliang. If we send troops to attack, wouldn't it be Asking for trouble, and trapping the lord in a place of injustice."

Meng Yue leaned forward and said to Qiu Liming: "Let's not worry about it. My lord has always been resourceful, and he must have a plan. We just need to follow suit."

Shen Yuexi yawned at the side.

She is not interested in these discussions of military strategy at all, but it is difficult to get up and leave.

He was feeling sleepy when Yang Cong came to look for him.She greeted Xiao Zhuo, and immediately got up and followed Yang Cong out.

"Mistress, follow me quickly," Yang Cong excitedly pulled Shen Yuexi away, "The city has already been built!"

She drew the blueprint of the city before and handed it over to Yang Cong, who supervised the construction of the city.Among the villagers, there are craftsmen who have participated in the construction of the city to be responsible for the specific work.

Shen Yuexi smiled and said: "Don't be ridiculous, the city has been built in less than half a month?"

"Go and see."

The two got into the carriage parked at the door and went all the way to Langya Pass.

Only when she got there did Shen Yuexi understand what Yang Cong meant by building it up. The outermost city wall had begun to take shape, and a small part of the city wall had reached the height of a three-story building.

She actually saw Feng Zhang on the city wall.He and Yang Cong quarreled as soon as they met, knowing that Yang Cong was building the city here, why did he come here?
Seeing Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong coming, Feng Zhang immediately climbed down the ladder, bypassed the craftsmen who were carrying the stones, came to them and said with a smile: "Mistress, Sister Cong."

Yang Cong stared, "What are you barking about?"

Feng Zhang touched the back of his head and said, "I'm not wrong."

Shen Yuexi knew that the two would quarrel as soon as they met, and she was afraid that they would start again, so she asked, "Brother Feng, why are you here?"

"Sister Cong told me... oops!" Feng Zhang received a thump on the head from Yang Cong, and immediately changed his words, "I think... when this city is built, Xi Rong will not be able to enter. My mother said that we will also be here in the future. To live here in Xiaogang Village, we must contribute to the construction of the city.”

Shen Yuexi smiled and said:
"In this case, Brother Feng will build the city here with your sister Cong. My husband and I will go to Yongwei later, and we may have to leave for a long time."

Not only to win Xiliang, but also to deal with King Jing, obviously it is not a matter of a day or two.She is ready to leave this place for a long time.

"Away for a long time?" Yang Cong jumped up on the spot and said, "Then I will follow you too, and I won't build the city."

"Farewell," Shen Yuexi said, "This is the base of my husband and I. You two stay here and build it well. Maybe we will come back one day."

"What is a base?" Feng Zhang asked naively.

"I don't even know the base, it's the root." Yang Cong rolled his eyes at him, "This is the root of the princess."

Shen Yuexi was quite satisfied with Yang Cong's explanation: "That's right. Xiaogang Village is our home, and this city is our root. We will go to Xiliang, and we will come back sooner or later. Besides, the armistice in Xirong is only one year away. They will definitely call back later, you two are the people I can trust the most, and I am most relieved to keep you here to build the city."

Yang Cong was still a little reluctant at first, but when Shen Yuexi said that she and Feng Zhang were the most trustworthy subordinates, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said:
"Mistress, I understand, leave this place to me. I promise to give you a big and beautiful city then."

Feng Zhang also puffed up his chest and said, "Yes, I'll help Sister Cong."

The two of them were working hard, and Xiao Zhuo arrived on horseback.

After reading the design drawings of the entire city and the current construction progress, Xiao Zhuo said to Shen Yuexi: "I once thought that this kind of thing can only be done by men. Unexpectedly, Yuexi, you even know this."

"I'm very good." Shen Yuexi put her hips on her hips, she was a proud peacock.

From Yang Cong and Feng Zhang's point of view, she couldn't see her aura at all, but she was more cute.It's not like Xiao Zhuo at all, even if Xiao Zhuo stands there indifferently, a powerful aura will rush towards his face.

"Mae Pu has already taken away the Xiliang cavalry, and now we only have five hundred iron-faced troops," Xiao Zhuo said to Shen Yuexi, "We will not take them with us this time, and stay here to prevent Xirong from harassing us."

"It's all up to the husband to decide."

Shen Yuexi won't fight anymore, and knows that these 500 people alone won't make any waves, so it's better to stay here.

"I have already agreed with everyone that General Mengyue will also stay and command the five hundred soldiers, and at the same time recruit strong men from the villagers to join the drill." Xiao Zhuo looked towards the city, "Although there are not many soldiers, maybe one day Will use them."

In order to confirm, Shen Yuexi asked: "Then this time going to Xiliang, just you and me, Army Master Song, General Qiu?"

"Well, plus a group of hidden guards, led by Qiang Lin. About 50 people."

Yang Cong looked at Xiao Zhuo suspiciously and said, "Master, there are only fifty people, what can you do?"

Feng Zhang also nodded and said, "That's right."

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Shen Yuexi also feels that 50 people can't do much, but this is the right way to go.If you really take tens of thousands of troops to Xiliang, isn't that just making it clear that you want to beat them?Although Xiliang Wang Meicheng is not good at fighting, it's not that he can't even see this.

Everyone accompanied Xiao Zhuo to climb the city wall, Shen Yuexi leaned back on the crenel of the city wall, and smiled at Xiao Zhuo:
"Husband, this city is quite large. After it is completed, if the opponent has siege weapons, they will not be able to climb over the ridge. They can only attack from the front. If they send troops around the mountain to attack Xiaogang Village, the villagers can enter in advance. Avoid this city. There is also an iron mine in the city, so don’t worry about not having enough weapons. This place is truly safe.”

Xiao Zhuo nodded and said: "With this scale, it seems that it will take several years to complete the construction."

"Build the outer city walls first, and then the buildings in the city will be built slowly," Shen Yuexi asked Yang Cong to open the blueprints to Xiao Zhuo, "I have suffered from rockets before, this time when I build the city, it will be built with stones Houses. You don’t have to be afraid of the opponent’s fire attack.”

Everyone was discussing, a sergeant ran up the city wall and said to Xiao Zhuo: "My lord, the prince of Xiliang Mei has an invitation here."

Shen Yuexi heard the word "invitation" and thought to herself that just now she came back from eating at Xiao Beiheng's place, so Mei Pu sent out invitations and invited them to dinner again?

Xiao Zhuo opened the invitation and read it, then handed it to her and said: "This is the reason why my husband does not let you approach him."

Shen Yuexi was a little puzzled, and said, "What are you talking about?"

She took the invitation and opened it, and saw that Meipu was about to marry Pingyang Hou's daughter Li Wan, and invited Xiao Zhuo and his wife to Yongwei.
