The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 580 579 The Burning Yangtze River (19)

Accompanied by Huang Zhong, Yang Xiu, Wei Yan, Li Tong and others, Zhang Yan left Junshan Water Village, took a flat boat, and sailed slowly towards Yueyang.

The place name Yueyang was given by Zhang Yan, but the city is still in its infancy, but in the near future, Yueyang may become an important town in this area.

The boat slowly approached the shore, Zhang Yan went ashore alone, and blew a whistle, Bailong ran out from a forest not far away, and when he came to Zhang Yan, he kept snorting , rubbing his head against Zhang Yan's body, they only separated for a short while, never thought that Bai Long would care about Zhang Yan so much.

Zhang Yan stretched out his hand, stroked Bailong well, and said, "Okay, okay, I'm back!"

A moment later, Zhang Yan rode on Bailong's back, rode forward, and headed directly to Yueyang.

At this time, Yueyang has already taken shape. The [-] craftsmen and peasants sent by the Nanjun prefect Huo Jun are actively building Yueyang City, and they are working in full swing.

Xu Huang's army lives with these [-] civilians. At this moment, except for the hundreds of patrol teams left behind, the rest of the people are all devoted to the upsurge of building Yueyang City. It can be said that the army and the people are united.

At this moment, Xu Huang is on the construction site commanding his subordinates, craftsmen, and peasants. According to the construction standards, Yueyang City must be built firmly, and it must be a military barrier that can accommodate a large number of people.

Xu Huang then transferred the construction method of building the new capital of Luoyang City, and used reinforced concrete for construction.However, in actual operation, Xu Huang only knows how to use cement, and the steel bars also need to be forged.

Cement is indeed a good thing. Ever since Zhang Yan "invented" cement, in such an era, it immediately aroused huge repercussions. Anyone who has been to Pengcheng will have an illusion that they seem to have gone wrong. Out of place, into another world.Because there are many cement buildings near Pengcheng, even Pengcheng itself is poured with cement, and Pengcheng is a circular city, so it always gives people a sense of freshness and curiosity.

Xu Huang once stayed in Pengcheng for a while, where he learned how to use cement to build houses.It's just that Xu Huang has never had the opportunity to display his architectural talents. Until then, he used all he learned to build Yueyang City, hoping to show his strength and let people remember his other side.

I have to say that Xu Huang is not only serious in handling things, but also very reassuring. For more than half a month, Xu Huang is the busiest. He handles the up and down matters. Sometimes, He only thought that if he could be divided into ten people, that would be great.

Just when Xu Huang was very busy, a confidant soldier walked up to Xu Huang, whispered a word in Xu Huang's ear, Xu Huang got up and left the construction site, and then asked his subordinates to work hard. The supervisor was here to supervise the work, while he trotted all the way back to the barracks.

When Xu Huang came to the gate of the barracks, he suddenly saw a white horse tied under the flagpole outside the large tent of the Chinese army. That horse was Zhang Yan's mount Bailong. He hurried inside and kissed him casually. Bing asked: "How long has your Highness been down?"

"As soon as His Highness arrived, the younger one came to call for the general."

After hearing this, Xu Huang let out a sigh of relief. If Zhang Yan was made to wait too long, it would be his fault.

Xu Huang took three steps at a time, and came directly to the door of the big tent of the Chinese army. When he was about to lift the curtain, he stopped suddenly, and then tidied up his clothes. account.

"The final general will see His Royal Highness King Yan!" As soon as Xu Huang entered the big tent, he respectfully bowed to Zhang Yan who was sitting at the top.

Seeing Xu Huang approaching, Zhang Yan immediately said: "Gongming, this is not the palace, nor the capital city, and there are no other people around, so you don't have to be so cautious, just sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Xu Huang sat down, he clasped his fists and asked, "When His Highness arrives, why didn't you send a notification in advance so that the last general can go to meet His Highness?"

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "I used to like to be alone, and I didn't like people to follow me wherever I went, and I didn't like people to surround me. This is my nature. I don't think I can change it in this life. However, I have no plans to come today. You are here, but a sudden decision made when I saw this place on the Junshan Water Village, so I came here."

Xu Huang knew that Zhang Yan was a man of temperament, and he didn't have that kind of airs in his gestures, but in his opinion, this was an extremely uncomfortable thing. The more Zhang Yan was like this, the more uneasy and nervous he felt.

Xu Huang is also a straightforward person, he can say what he has, and speak quickly, which is also one of his characteristics.At this moment, Xu Huang frowned tightly, opened his mouth several times, but still swallowed the words abruptly, and never spoke.

Seeing Xu Huang's hesitation to speak several times, Zhang Yan said, "Gongming, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xu Huang said: "If I say this, it will make His Highness feel uncomfortable, and maybe even anger His Highness, I'm afraid..."

"Loyal words are harsh to the ear and good for deeds. Tell me, I won't be offended by your few words." Zhang Yan said.

Xu Huang thought and thought, but he still didn't dare to speak out.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan changed his mind and said, "No matter what you say to me, I won't take it to heart. I will grant you innocence first!"

Xu Huang couldn't stop laughing, and then he opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, you are now the king of Yan, the regent king who is under one person and above ten thousand people, and the prime minister and general of the Han Dynasty. So honorable and important, but every time you go out, you always prefer to be alone, and you don’t even bring a guard. In case of any accident, it’s okay? Besides, it’s not your subordinates who say you, you are a prince, Holding the power of the country in his hand, what a status and honor is this kind of status. Your Highness has seen any prince wandering outside alone when he goes out. Which one is not hugged by the front and back? The king should have the king Dignity and wealth, His Highness should bring guards of honor with him every time he travels. Only in this way can His Highness's special status be revealed. Even if His Highness doesn't think about himself, he should think about the whole world. His Highness rides like this every day. Running around on horses, don't forget, Your Highness, you are the regent, not a ranger!"

Xu Huang was criticized for a while, he could not understand these things, and today he finally took this opportunity to speak out, and he felt much more relaxed psychologically.

On the other hand, Zhang Yan's facial expression was frozen. He never expected that Xu Huang would say such a thing.

However, he didn't blame Xu Huang at all. Instead, he felt that Xu Huang painfully stated the pros and cons, and criticized him, which made him feel enlightened.

Zhang Yan has always been used to being alone, and because his soul is a modern person, he doesn't care much about the old-fashioned rules. He thinks he is easy-going, but who would have thought that in Xu Huang's eyes, Here, he is an extremely irresponsible person.

Zhang Yan asked a little dumbfounded: "Apart from you, is there anyone else who has such an idea?"

Xu Huang said bluntly: "There are many people who have this kind of thinking. On the surface, they naturally dare not talk about His Highness, but in private, they are all talking about His Highness. Of course, we also know that His Highness did this to win over us." Close distance is a kind of performance of respectful corporals, but when His Highness does these things, he should be done according to the occasion. Now His Highness is the king of Yan respected by everyone in the world, and he is a person with power over the world. If he still does his own thing like before , free and easy, without regard to the face of the nobility, how can that be possible?"

Zhang Yan only felt that he was a little ashamed, and it turned out that his actions were not well recognized by others.However, Xu Huang's words are not rough, and what he said is the truth. Even in modern society, when important figures in the country appear on stage, they are surrounded by groups of bodyguards, but Zhang Yan is always alone. If you come and go alone, if you encounter danger, you will become the laughing stock of the world.

"Gongming, I will remember all your words, and I will not do this again in the future. You are right. My life is related to the whole world. If I encounter danger or something unexpected happens, the world will be in danger." The turmoil, we have come to where we are today, and we must not die like a flash in the pan." Zhang Yan said very sincerely, "Thank you for everything you said to me today, I will keep it in my heart! "

"With these words from His Royal Highness King Yan, the subordinates are satisfied. No matter what His Highness King Yan wants to do in the future, he must first think about his own safety, because His Royal Highness Yan represents the whole world!"

"Well said! Well said. Gongming, I really didn't misunderstand you. However, today is already like this, let's just leave it like this. Just for your heartfelt words, today I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I want to have a big banquet here You have a game, how about we get drunk and rest?" Zhang Yan said.

Xu Huang said: "This subordinate may disappoint His Highness. In order to build Yueyang City as soon as possible, the army has already implemented a ban on alcohol. Even those craftsmen and civilians are not allowed to drink. After all, drinking is easy to cause trouble. If Today I am drinking and having fun with His Highness here, it means that I have broken the military order and will be beheaded as a public display."

Zhang Yan didn't expect Xu Huang to be so serious, so he said, "Well, since there is a prohibition on alcohol, why don't we drink alcohol? Let's replace the bar with tea? It just so happens that I'm a little hungry..."

As he said that, Zhang Yan touched his shriveled belly. He hadn't eaten for two days. He was too anxious when he left and forgot to bring dry food. In order to get here as soon as possible, he didn't take much rest along the way. Don't talk about eating.

Xu Huang said with a smile: "This subordinate can satisfy His Highness, but the simple food in the barracks may not be as good as the delicacies in the palace. I'm afraid His Highness won't be used to it."

"Is there anything I'm not used to, I used to eat simple food, just come up, as long as it can fill my stomach!" Zhang Yan said.
