At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 2 Long Live the Lord
The [-] elite soldiers hidden in the deep mountains today were trained under the guidance of Xu Mu's modern training methods and combined with the experience of this famous general.

"arrive."

Xu Mu brought Yang Guang and Lai Hu'er to a towering city wall.

Yang Guang and Lai Huer looked at the towering city wall in shock.

It was four feet high, and more importantly, they didn't find any traces of bricks and stones on the city wall!

As a whole, judging from the appearance alone, the interior of this city can accommodate at least 10 people!
Yang Guang's heart sank. It seems that the rebellion mentioned by the thief is not just talking.

Building such a city in the deep mountains is probably not a day's work. In addition, the mountains are inaccessible, and it will take at least ten years to prune it to such a scale!

ten years!

Ten years ago, or four years in Daye, he had just ascended the throne, how old is this thief?

His face was gloomy, and so was the guard next to him.

His thinking is simpler. As a famous general in the Sui Dynasty, what he thinks is...

This city is completely natural, it is four feet high, and there is only one gate for entry and exit, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If His Majesty lets him attack the city, I'm afraid... he can only use the method of besieging the city. Only when the city is depleted of food and people can the city be broken.

In addition, this place is in the middle of heavy mountains, so the army cannot enter at all, and it is even more impossible to break through the city.

That is to say...

Thinking of this, Lai Huer's face turned pale, and the old man in his 50s showed despair.

so...

Judging from this city wall, it can't be completed without ten years of work. This is not an ordinary rebel, and it is very likely that he has been preparing to rebel since his father's generation.

After planning for a long time and preparing for a long time, they were actually caught in.

Fortunately, fortunately, the identities of him and His Majesty have not been revealed yet!
When Lai Huer and Yang Guang were thinking about each other, Xu Mu's voice came from the front.

"Old Yang, Lao Lai, have you seen it? This is the city wall that I spent three months building. Is it tall? Is it mighty? Is it spectacular?"

Xu Mu pointed at the city wall and showed off. His idea was very simple. Let these ancient bumpkins experience the technological power of cement.

And the reactions of Lao Yang and Lao Lai were also within his expectation.

The two listened to his words with disbelief.

Lai Hu'er snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "How is this possible? As far as Lai knows, the process of building a city wall is complicated. It needs to go through more than ten processes and cover layers before it can be formed. The achievements of the moon can be accomplished..."

He has been in the army for a long time and knows a lot about the city wall, so he thinks that he will never be mistaken.

Hearing his eloquent narration, Xu Mu couldn't help but nodded.

Well, it's a talent.

Isn't this the talent he urgently needs now?

Now that the new city is being established, he urgently needs talents in all aspects.

At present, only some important areas of this new city have been built, and most of the buildings in the city have not been started.

He just needs someone who understands construction and construction to plan and build.

To be precise, he needs a designer and a contractor.

Lao Lai was familiar with the construction process of the city wall just now, so it can be seen that he has a brush.

This kind of educated person should give full play to his talents and let him act as the contractor for the future development of the new city.

As for Lao Yang, although he doesn't talk much, Xu Mu can tell from his conversation that he has extraordinary knowledge, but he doesn't know how good he is in architectural design.

I will test him later.

"A city wall in front of a certain calendar, like you, has never been seen before, but on such a scale, if it is not an earthen wall, it will never be completed in three months!"

Lai Huer said a lot, then turned to look at Xu Mu.

He wanted to see Xu Mu make a fool of himself.

Although his hands are behind his back, as a general of the Sui Dynasty, he still has his own arrogance.

however……

Xu Mu waved his hand and said to the soldiers beside him, "Go, didn't we develop a new type of trebuchet before? Drag it out and check if it is a tofu project!"

"promise!"

The soldier greeted several soldiers stationed at the city gate, and then went to drag the catapult.

Yang Guang and Lai Hu'er watched Xu Mu and a group of soldiers under him curiously. Outside the city wall, they actually saw them pull out a trebuchet and put it three hundred paces away!
"Three hundred paces away?"

Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and looked at Lai Huer.

Lai Hu'er remained calm, and replied respectfully: "My Da Sui catapult has a maximum range of two hundred steps, and beyond three hundred steps, it is absolutely impossible to hit the city wall—"

Boom!

It's just that before he could finish his sentence, a gust of wind roared, and then he heard the ground shake, and a huge stone hit the city wall, and it was torn apart.

Fortunately, under Xu Mu's reminder, the distance between the two is relatively far.

It's just that some stone chips shattered and fell at the feet of the two of them.

The two were completely dumbfounded at the moment.

The loud bang just now, and... the unscathed city wall in front of him kept echoing in his ears.

"No...all right?"

Lai Hu'er swallowed, and asked in disbelief.

Xu Mu stood up with his hands behind his back, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "It's barely enough. The research institute and the people who built the city wall will each be rewarded with ten shi of grain!"

Yang Guang and Lai Hu'er didn't hear Xu Mu's words at all.

There are two questions resounding in their minds now.

What kind of perverted catapult is this?The range is so far?

What kind of iron wall is this?To be hit like this, but still unscathed?
Xu Mu looked at the stunned two people and was very satisfied with the acceptance.

"Soldier, take them to the city wall and witness the opening ceremony of the new city together!"

With his hands behind his back, Xu Mu approached the city gate, passed the stone steps on the inner wall, and climbed up the four-foot-high city wall.

Converted to a modern height, it is only three or four stories high.

Xu Mu felt quite sorry about this, and he didn't know when an oriental pearl would be built in ancient times?
Then engage in barbecue on it, watch the stars, not to mention how pleasant it is.

"Lord!"

On the city wall, a middle-aged dark man in armor knelt on one knee, interrupting Xu Mu's wild thoughts.

"The auspicious time has come, my lord, please address all the soldiers and civilians!"

The middle-aged man's rough voice was deliberately lowered, which also interrupted Yang Guang and Lai Nuer.

With their hands bound, they noticed that they had already reached the city wall.

And inside the inner wall, a group of people gathered in darkness.

Thousands!

Lai Huer is proficient in military affairs, and is best at estimating the number of enemy troops. With just one glance, he came up with such a statistic!
Yang Guang's lips trembled even more. These rebellious officials and thieves actually... really engulfed my people and built a city deep in these mountains.

Try to rebel!

Even if you don't rebel, this is the rhythm of becoming a king on your own!
"When I can return to the Eastern Capital, I will definitely send an army of [-] to destroy this city!"

He thought so in his heart, but when he remembered the fortification of the city he had witnessed just now, he suddenly fell silent.

This idea... I'm afraid it's a bit unrealistic.

It's so indestructible.

We can only besiege the city.

But how do you feel that I might die of old age in this city?

The sad Yang Guang thought so, and then he heard the people in the city raise their hands one after another, shouting - long live!
"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

Xu Mu couldn't help touching his nose in embarrassment when he heard the roar of thousands of people.

This link was not arranged by him.

It was completely organized spontaneously by these lovely people, as God can testify.

"What a good people, it's all because of Yang Guang, that stupid king, that they fell to this point..."

Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the old Comrade Yang next to him had bruised veins on his forehead when he heard the words, if Lai Huer hadn't winked desperately, he might not be able to control himself.

After sighing, Xu Mu stood in front of the large physical amplified microphone prepared on the tower, cleared his throat, and began to deliver a speech.

This is a very important part.

Just like the need to swear an oath before the army goes out.

Inspire morale and inspire people.

"Three years, we finally have our own city!"

Through the microphone, Xu Mu's voice spread throughout the city.

Yang Guang and Lai Hu'er were watching the microphone intently when they heard that this strange thing had a sound amplification effect.

"The ancients said that the blue thread of the road is to open up the mountains and forests. Today, we will overcome the thorns and build a new city. After three years, we will finally achieve something!"

Xu Mu spoke at the top, while the people below listened attentively, but no one whispered.

For them, Xu Mu is their reborn parents.

If not for Xu Mu, most of them would have starved to death.

It was Xu Mu who led them to escape into the deep mountains, and even helped them build a new city, promising that they would be allocated houses in the new city in the future.

They even witnessed all kinds of miracles created by Xu Mu.

In three months, the area originally surrounded by several small mountains was actually razed to the ground by Xu Mu, and such a majestic and spectacular new city was built!

"Long live the lord! Long live the lord! Long live the lord!"

The crowd raised the objects in their hands one after another and cheered.

They were not as pale, emaciated and malnourished as those outside the people. Under Xu Mu's high wage distribution, they all got enough food, and occasionally meat.

There is no way, Xu Mu was short of people in the early stage, relying on the abundance of food, he crazily fooled them.

This also led to... the respect and admiration for Xu Mu was carved into the bones of these ordinary people who did not pursue high expectations.

It can be said that in this city, as long as anyone says that Xu Mu is not, he will be beaten to death by other furious people immediately!

"I once promised that after the completion of the new city, the first phase of the residential area will be built. Don't worry, everyone, for a maximum of three months, I guarantee that everyone of you will be able to live in a house!"

"Outside the city, there are thousands of acres of farmland, which will be allocated to you according to the number of people!"

"In addition, encourage land reclamation, encourage childbearing, pay more for more work, there are bonuses!"

On the day when the new city was built, Xu Mu was also quite happy, and directly issued several orders to win people's hearts.

"Long live the lord..."

The distribution of houses may not be very exciting to ordinary people, but after hearing about the distribution of fields, everyone is excited.

In the entire city, only the voice of the words Long live the lord remained.

Yang Guang was extremely uncomfortable hearing this.

Look, these are my people.

In front of me, he actually called a traitor long live.

At this moment, his mood is extremely complicated.

In the past, he never put the people in his eyes.

In his view, common people and civilian husbands are nothing more than a series of numbers on administrative orders.

But at this moment, inexplicably, he felt a little uncomfortable.

It took a long time for the cheers of the people to subside. Immediately afterwards, Xu Mu solemnly renamed the city: "Chengdu in January, Chengdu in March, what all people want, this city will be Wanmin City in the future!"
