The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 21 021 City Sketch
"Brother has woken up from a coma, and the little girl is here to inform the adults." Mi Zhen bowed slightly, and said softly, "At the same time, the little girl is also here to thank the adults!"

"Thank you?"

As soon as Mi Zhen changed her domineering young lady's temper, she became humble, and on the contrary, she even spoke much softer.

"Your Excellency has rescued our brothers and sisters one after another. Your Excellency has saved our brothers and sisters' lives. Both our brothers and sisters will never forget it..."

"It's just a small effort, it's nothing to worry about, and Miss Mi doesn't have to take it to heart. As Prime Minister Pengcheng and Captain of the Military Guard, it's my job to protect the environment and the people, and fight against bandits. If I want to say thank you, I also want to thank you Well, if it wasn't for your wit and intentional leaving clues on the road, I'm afraid I can't find the canyon yet, then it would be impossible to save you from the clutches of evil. In the end, you should thank yourself."

"But if you are not careful and notice those clues, no matter how many clues I throw, it will be useless. Don't thank me for your kindness. When we return to Tancheng, we will definitely send someone to send Xie Jin to thank you for your help. Grace."

"Miss Mi, in my opinion, I don't need Xie Jin, after all..."

"This thank you, sir, please accept it, otherwise, we brothers and sisters will always feel sorry. Besides, we brothers and sisters have never liked to owe others anything!" Mi Zhen's tone became a lot heavier, and it was also revealed in the words A little impatient.

Zhang Yan didn't say much, just said softly: "Since that's the case, then Zhang is more respectful than obedient. When Miss Mi brings Xie Jin, Zhang will accept it."

"It's best like this, the adults are busy with business, and it's inconvenient for the little girl to disturb you, so I'll take my leave!"

As soon as the words fell, Mi Zhen turned around and left without waiting for Zhang Yan's response.

Zhang Yan looked at Mi Zhen's back, frowned, and thought to himself: "She dislikes me so much, it seems that it will take a lot of effort to win her heart..."

After all, Zhang Yan's first impression of Mi Zhen was not very good when they first met, and Mi Zhen was almost frozen to death.Even though Zhang Yan saved Mi Zhen's life, in Mi Zhen's heart, she still hated Zhang Yan.

When Mi Zhen stepped out of the room, she happened to meet Chen Deng who came to visit Zhang Yan. She smiled at Chen Deng and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Mi Zhen's displeasure on his face, Chen Deng walked into Zhang Yan's room, went straight to the bed, and asked: "Miss Mi had a displeased face when she went out just now, did you say something?" What shouldn't have been said made her angry?"

Zhang Yan shook his head, and told Chen Deng the situation when he and Mi Zhen met for the first time.

After hearing this, Chen Deng sighed softly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Yuanlong, is there any way to make Miss Mi stop hating me so much?" Although Zhang Yan is from modern times, due to his special status, he rarely has contact with women, and he doesn't know how to deal with emotional problems. I had no choice but to seek help from the resourceful Chen Deng.

Chen Deng is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but he also has a little understanding of the relationship between men and women. He shook his head and said to Zhang Yan: "You really stump me. I don't know anything about it."

"Forget it, the future is long, I will slowly figure out a way. I don't believe that with my ability, I can't capture her heart!"

Chen Deng avoided Mi Zhen's topic, and said loudly: "Brother Mingda, all the robbed gold has been transported back to Pengcheng, and it has been put into the treasury. Five thousand gold is not a lot at all. Besides, you are in the canyon I also made an estimate for the batch of gold, silver and jewelry that I brought back, at least seven or eight hundred gold. Now that we have this batch of gold, we can do a lot of things, do you have any plans?"

"With money, we have capital. We can build fortresses, reclaim farmland, build rivers and canals, and use the money to recruit soldiers and recruit wise men. If we do it at the same time, we will definitely not have enough manpower, so we can only do one by one. Come here. The top priority, I think the fortress should be built first. I don’t know what Brother Yuanlong’s opinion is?”

Chen Dengdao: "That's what I mean too. After all, with a fortress, both the army and the people can rely on it."

Zhang Yan and Chen Deng's ideas coincided with each other, and they both wanted to build a fort first, so they started to work on it.

The two of them first went out on horseback and wandered around the old city to see if there was any suitable place to build a fort. After half a day of searching, Zhang Yan and Chen Deng never found a decent city site. Instead, they felt that the location of the old city was a best location.

In the end, after some discussions, Zhang Yan and Chen Deng made a new decision to build a new fortress on the basis of the old city.

The old city is three miles long from north to south and two miles long from east to west. It is a rectangular city.But what Zhang Yan wanted to build was a large city, so he built a city within a radius of six miles on the basis of the original foundation, with the Pengcheng government office as the center.In this way, the old city extended three miles from north to south, and four miles from east to west.

Zhang Yan also drew a sketch, reflecting the shape and layout of the city on the sketch.

When Chen Deng saw this sketch, he was taken aback immediately, and quickly asked: "Mingda, are you going to expand Pengcheng into a circular city?"

Zhang Yan nodded.

Chen Deng continued to look at the sketch, but on the sketch, the circular city was fully outlined by Zhang Yan, and a reasonable plan was made for the elder brother's area in the city, and even its functions were marked.

The whole city is constructed by three walls and three moats. There are three floors inside and outside, and the innermost floor is centered on the government office, with a radius of one mile. It is the most important part of the city and is called the city. The first floor is centered on Fucheng and spreads out to the surrounding area with a radius of two miles, called the inner city; the outermost layer is centered on the inner city, with a radius of three miles, called the outer city.

There is a city wall and moat between the three cities, all of which are circular, and even the remaining city gates are quite symmetrical, and there is a barracks near each city gate, which can be described as interlocking.

If there is an enemy attack, the outer city will bear the brunt of the defense. Once it cannot resist, it can retreat into the inner city to continue defending.

From this sketch alone, it is not difficult for Chen Deng to see Zhang Yan's ingenuity in designing such a circular city.

Before Chen Deng's eyes, it seemed that a magnificent circular city had already appeared.

"Yuanlong, what do you think of my design of this city?" Zhang Yan asked, seeing that Chen Deng was looking very carefully.

Chen Deng closed the sketch and said to Zhang Yan: "It's the first time I've seen such a design with originality. It's just that it may take two years to build such a large and magnificent city. But at this stage, we are pressed for time. I'm afraid Cao Cao has already led his army to kill us before we finish building it!"

Zhang Yandao: "I thought about this a long time ago, so I designed three city walls and three moats. Now we can build the inner city first, and then build the Fucheng. In this way, the inner city is equivalent to the outer city, and the Fucheng It’s the inner city. After defeating Cao Cao, we can build the real outer city and build it in stages, wouldn’t it be great?”

Chen Deng thought for a while, and felt that what Zhang Yan said was quite reasonable. He opened the sketch again and looked at it. The more he looked, the more he felt that Zhang Yan's sketch was very good.

In the end, Chen Deng did not raise any objections, and arranged everything according to the sketch given by Zhang Yan, and began to recruit civilians, preparing to expand Pengcheng.

That night, Zhang Yan went back to the government office and went directly to visit Mi Fang. As soon as he entered the door, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Mi, how is your injury?"

Seeing Zhang Yan coming, Mi Fang hurriedly supported her body with her elbows, and said with difficulty: "Mi Fang, a grass-roots man, I have met you."

Zhang Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said to Mi Fang: "Brother Mi, you don't have to be polite, there are no outsiders here, and you are inconvenient to move, so you don't need to salute in the future."

"Here!" Mi Fang replied, lying flat on the couch, but he still didn't know the purpose of Zhang Yan's visit, so he asked, "I don't know why your lord came to visit late at night?"

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "It's okay, I just stopped by to see how Brother Mi is recovering. By the way, where is Miss Mi?"

Mi Fang said: "Sister She took care of me for a whole day and never took a break. I saw that there was someone looking after me, so I asked him to go back and rest."

"Oh, that's it. I said why didn't I see Miss Mi."

Seeing that Zhang Yan was absent-minded, Mi Fang looked around as soon as he entered the door, as if the intention of coming was not on him.Seeing that Zhang Yan was not very old, only 23 or [-] years old, he said, "On the way here, I always thought that Your Excellency was a seasoned veteran, but who would have thought that Your Excellency would be so young. I don't know where Your Excellency is from, but Married?"

"My ancestral home is Liu County, and I'm still single...why would Brother Mi ask this question?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just asking casually." Although Mi Fang said so, he had other plans in his heart.

"Brother Mi, since you've woken up, I don't have anything to worry about. I originally planned to send Brother Mi back to Tancheng in person, but Brother Mi is still injured and can't travel far, so I invite Brother Mi to stay here Rest in rest, and I will send Brother Mi back after I can get out of bed. Brother Mi wants to eat and use anything, just tell the servants, as long as I have what I have here, Zhang will never be stingy."

After Mi Fang heard this, she chuckled and said: "My lord is so proud, Mi Fang admires it. It's just that I can rest here, but my sister must go back. This time, my sister ran away secretly, and I haven't informed my brother yet. If my brother finds out My sister is gone, I will definitely go crazy. Therefore, I ask you to take care of me, send my sister home first, and then tell my brother about my situation, so that my brother can feel at ease."

"I'm going to Tancheng once in these two days, so I can take Miss Mi with me to Tancheng." Zhang Yan agreed decisively without even thinking about it.

Mi Fang said politely: "Your Excellency, just let me know when you are leaving. I will let my younger sister go with you, and I will take care of you along the way. However, I am going to trouble you again, and Mi feels very sorry."

"Oh, Brother Mi, you don't have to be like this. Brother Ling and I work together under Tao Shijun's account. This time, Brother Ling gifted me so much gold. Zhang is very grateful, and has always wanted to do something for Brother Ling. Send Mi Miss Mi's going to Tancheng is on my shoulders, and I promise to send Miss Mi home completely."

"Thank you sir..."

"Brother Mi, you don't have to say thank you. I should be the one who wants to say thank you. Alright, brother Mi, this matter is settled. When I go to Tancheng, I will bring Miss Mi with me. I still have some business to do." Deal with it, don't bother Brother Mi here, and leave."

"Forgive me, my lord, please forgive me for not being able to send it away."
