Cao Zhengchun took Li Bing and Li Erlang away. Emperor Chu turned around and returned to the wooden case. He opened the drawings drawn by Li Bing, laid them flat on the wooden case and began to look at them.
The drawings drawn by Li Bing and his son made Emperor Chu stunned. They mentioned that they were only rough drawings, but they did not expect them to be so detailed. Compared with the maps drawn in the system, they were almost the same.
Moreover, Li Bing and his son left annotations on the drawings with great care. Even if Emperor Chu was a layman in the construction of the dam port, it would still be clear to him.
Talent.
No, he's a genius.
With Li Bing and his son in charge of building the dam and entrusting them with the century-old plan, Emperor Chu could sit back and relax and return to Chang'an City with peace of mind.
Afternoon.
Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, Kou Zhun, Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Li Bao and others came to the Dezheng Hall. Emperor Chu introduced Li Bing and his son to everyone.
At the same time, the map they drew and the policy of building the dam were handed over to the ministers for review. Emperor Chu responded to Li Bing's proposal to have bamboo workers weave a large bamboo cage three feet long and two feet wide, fill it with pebbles, and then sink it one by one into the Tianhe River.
At the bottom, the method used to block the gap in Tianhekou Mountain is very satisfactory.
This method is simple and easy to use local materials, construction and maintenance. Moreover, the cage stones are stacked layer by layer, which can not only prevent the embankment from breaking, but also use the gaps between the pebbles to reduce the direct pressure of the flood, thus reducing the risk of port collapse.
Emperor Chu was not the only one who agreed with Li Bing's policy of building a port dam. After viewing it, all the ministers in the hall were full of praise for it and showed admiration.
Li Bing proposed that without further delay, civilians should be recruited as soon as possible to speed up the construction of the Tianhe Dam to prevent the tide from rising again next spring, causing a tragedy of flooding.
Emperor Chu ordered Kou Zhun, Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou to give full support to Li Bing, giving them the greatest help in manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
The Tianhe Dam is the top priority at the moment. If the dam problem is not solved, even if the people return to their countryside, they will return to their original appearance after a high tide.
The Emperor of Chu did not want to work hard for several years and return to before liberation, so building the dam should be the first priority.
Kou Zhun, Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang and others knew the importance of this matter, and they all responded with their fists, saying that they would fully cooperate with Li Bing to successfully build the Tianhe Dam as soon as possible.
"very good!"
"I will leave all matters in Taixu County to all the Aiqings. Tomorrow I will return our troops to the court. I need the empire's strong support. Kou Aiqing can report it, but I will definitely accept it personally."
All the ministers bowed and saluted, thanked the Holy Grace, and then left the Dezheng Hall one after another, leaving only Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang.
"Kong Ming, Zifang, sent someone to Aurora City to inform Bowen, and went to Zhanwang City to meet together, and the squadron returned to Chang'an."
"In addition, the soldiers and horses in the city are left to Gong Jin, and he will only lead the Yulin Army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the Five Tiger Generals."
"Wei Chen understands!"
............
The next day.
When the morning light shone on the earth, outside Taichu City, the army returning to the imperial court had already assembled. Among them, the Zhao sisters, Daji and Princess Shang were riding in chariots.
The Emperor of Chu did not choose to stay in the chariot, but instead rode on horseback with Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, the Five Tiger Generals, Mu Guiying, and Jia Fu, admiring the beautiful mountains and rivers along the way.
On Taichu City.
Kou Zhun, Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Li Bing and others watched the army returning to the capital leave. Without stopping too much, everyone walked towards the city.
Emperor Chu had left Taichu City, but the burden on them became heavier and heavier. They were completely racing against time, and there could not be any mistakes.
After leaving Taichu City and traveling all the way, Emperor Chu had nothing to do. He was chatting happily with the ministers. Suddenly he remembered what happened to Zhao Yun and Mu Guiying. He originally wanted to return to Taichu City to marry them.
Forget it.
"Zilong, come forward!"
The Emperor of Chu reined up his horse, looked back at Zhao Yun behind him, and heard a majestic sound. Zhao Yun clapped his legs and stepped forward, walking on the side of Molong.
"Zilong, I see that you and Master Mu are in love. As a man, you should boldly confess your love. You have been vague and will make Master Mu think wildly."
"Confession?"
Zhao Yun was confused and didn't know what "confession" meant. Emperor Chu smiled bitterly, forgetting such a new word. Zhao Yun must have never heard of it.
"Zilong, what I mean is that if you like the leader of the village, marry him back to the house. I see that Yide also has a soft spot for the master of the village. If you don't take the initiative, once Yide opens his mouth to me."
"When the time comes, I will be in a very difficult position!"
Emperor Chu's words were very clear. Zhao Yun looked back and saw Zhao Fei chatting with Mu Guiying. From time to time he saw Mu Guiying smiling like a flower, as if he had heard something interesting.
Sudden.
Zhang Fei rode towards them, Zhao Yun looked anxious and said: "Your Majesty, Zilong is indeed in love with the leader of the village, but where is Xiangjun at home..."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu was also in a bit of trouble. It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. However, Zhao Yun, who was so powerful on the battlefield, was only afraid of the ladies in his palace.
If Li Xiangjun didn't agree to Mu Guiying's entry, Zhao Yun was afraid there would be nothing he could do.
"Zilong, you need to figure out how to deal with this matter yourself. This is your family matter and I cannot interfere with it."
He was so majestic on the battlefield, and looked like a sheep when he entered the palace. Zhao Yun's fear of being in trouble has been spread among the three armies for a long time, and it is not a secret at all.
"Your Majesty, I have an unkind invitation at the end!"
Zhang Fei's loud voice suddenly rang out. Emperor Chu and Zhao Yun looked at the sound at the same time and saw him stepping forward on horseback, saying: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do at the end..."
"Yide, I just asked His Majesty to grant me and Guiying a marriage, you better not think about it."
"No, when did Zilong start to be so arrogant? Aren't you worried about Xiangjun's sister in the house going crazy?"
Zhang Fei's voice was rough and sarcastic, and the other generals behind him heard the sound and laughed wildly. For a moment, Zhao Yun's face turned pale and he wanted to step forward and strangle Zhang Fei to death.
Isn't he deliberately making a fool of himself?
"Zilong, don't blame my brother for talking too much. Sister Guiying is as good as a woman, and her appearance is also very handsome. If you are worried about your younger siblings, brother, I will..."
"Yide, Zilong will not argue with you about other matters, but there is no room for negotiation on this matter. After returning to Beijing, His Majesty will grant you a marriage. You should stay where you can to cool off."
Zhao Yun refused to give in and did not give Zhang Fei any chance. Seeing the two of them fighting, Emperor Chu couldn't help but secretly laugh. He admired Mu Guiying's charm and actually made two generals jealous of her.
"Your Majesty, the general is not here to compete with Zilong. The general wants to accept the leader of the village as his adopted sister, and wants your majesty to be a witness."
"Sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law, why not?"
"Zilong, if I become Guiying's brother, then even if she is half her mother's family, if she wants to take my sister, she will still have to ask me whether I agree."
Zhang Fei was arrogant. It was obvious that Mu Guiying agreed to his request, so he came to ask Emperor Chu to testify.
actually.
Just now, Zhao Yun saw the two of them talking happily, but Zhang Fei was worried about Mu Guiying's general Zi Long, who was worried that Mu Guiying would not be able to enter Zhao's house.
Mu Guiying never expected that Zhao Yun, who was unrivaled in battlefield bravery and capable of unlimited killings, would actually be henpecked. However, it was precisely because of this that she felt that Zhao Yun was more worthy of entrusting her with her life.
"Your Majesty, the final general recognizes Mu Guiying as his adopted sister and will teach her marksmanship in the future. It won't be long before Wu Chu has another female general."
"marksmanship?"
"Yide, you and Mu Guiying are sworn brothers and sisters of the opposite sex. I can bear witness for you. As for teaching her marksmanship, forget it."
Emperor Chu said, but he actually had a plan in his mind. At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly refuted Zhang Fei: "Guiying is good at using a wild goose feather sword, and you are holding a snake spear that is eight feet long. Is this appropriate? Let's forget it.
I want to practice spears, and the silver gentian spear in my hand is no weaker than the Zhangba Snake Spear."
"Zilong, Yide, you two don't need to argue. Let Mu Village Master and Yun Chang come forward."
Not long after, Mu Guiying and Guan Yu rode forward and saluted each other with their fists. Emperor Chu said: "General Mu, after you return to Beijing, I will grant you a marriage to Zilong."
"As for the fact that you and Yide became brothers and sisters, I can bear witness for you. In addition, you will worship Guan Yu as your master from now on and learn swordsmanship with him, so that you can make contributions to the country on the battlefield in the future!"
Guan Yu is a martial sage, and his Qinglong Yanyue Sword is invincible. It is most suitable for him to be Mu Guiying's master. The Emperor of Chu believed that in the near future, there will be a female general who is good at using swords among the three armies of the Chu Kingdom.
After everyone thanked them, this small episode passed quickly, and the army continued to move forward. Five days later, the army appeared at the gate of King Zhan's city.
at this time.
Liu Bowen and Huo Qubing had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the troops returning to the court, they rode up, flew down, bowed and saluted Emperor Chu.
The army returned to the court. Along the way, they came during the day and rested at night, so it was very relaxed. There was no need to go to the Royal City to rest.
The Emperor of Chu just summoned Kan Leng at the foot of the city. From then on, the Zhanwang City was under his guard and management. The Emperor of Chu had a conversation with him.
Although Kan Leng was a fierce general, he was well versed in the ways of governing the world. He was also good at managing soldiers and horses. He guarded Zhanwang City for a period of time. Many of the methods he proposed made even the Chu Emperor shine.
By handing Zhanwang City to him to manage and guard, Emperor Chu no longer had any worries. In addition, Hu Luguang was responsible for guarding Longhuang City, and Hou Andu guarded Aurora City.
The three generals standing together can ensure that Taichu is safe. In addition, the military defense capabilities of Qi Jiajun, Yu Jiajun, and Taixu County trained by Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Li Bao, and Zhang Shun have no problem at all.
An hour later, the army stretched like a dragon across the wilderness, raising thousands of feet of smoke and dust until it disappeared at the end of the wilderness. (To be continued)
