The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Duoduo's powerful wings beat the head of the grandson rabbit continuously, and the grandson rabbit was biting the short tail of Duoduo goose tightly and did not let go. In order to stabilize the center of gravity, he lay on the ground half-lying while shaking his head and tearing, while taking four The short legs kicked Duoduo's body in a row.

Its move was not insidious, Duoduo couldn't turn around when its tail was bitten, and the force under its big wings hit the thick fur on the mantle's abdomen without pain or itching.Tusun also cunningly folded his thick tail to cover his fur belly, reducing the trauma he suffered.

Xia Duoduo had never been insulted like this before. Although the posture was awkward, it immediately launched a counterattack, with its black mouth tearing at the thick fur of the rabbit's thick tail.

The two little animals could face each other's butts so hard that they couldn't make it through. Xia Anran who arrived at the scene couldn't laugh or cry, but she was also relieved because the two couldn't hurt each other for a while.

"A lot, a lot, stop quickly." The little king tried to suppress it with his hands, but the two of them huddled together. When Xia Anran came to stop him, the two little ones turned over and rolled to the ground with a tacit understanding. Go out of the way of the little king.

Seeing this, Xia Anran felt helpless as well as dumbfounded.

"What are you two fighting in the middle of the night?" Xia Anran walked to the edge of the new battle group, squatted down, and tried to persuade the two who had adjusted their posture a bit because of a turn over, "You can't see when you fight at night..."

The two little ones continued to roll.

Xia Anran squinted his eyes, he raised his head to look in the direction, and walked over again, "Duoduo, Changchang, you two are..."

Gollum.

The little king continued to approach, "You two are the same in Dad's heart, so you are still at peace..."

Gollum—boom.

Under the deliberate temptation of the evil master, the two cubs successfully fell into the water.

Xia Anran reached out and scooped up the two flustered mouths that had entered the water. The clever servant had already brought thick cloth to absorb the water.One in each hand, the little king held the goose and the mantle that were dripping all over his body in his arms.

The two little animals seemed to be in a daze because of this sudden incident. They never thought that this battle to determine the status of the two parties would end in such a way. This is too hasty, and they can only fight another day!

The little king, who thought he could easily resolve pet disputes, sighed earnestly: "Stop fighting at night from now on. Look, you fell into the water."

He spoke very righteously, with an appearance that all of this has nothing to do with me, which made the two brats listless.

After entering the room, the little king asked someone to light the kang. He first put down the swan and quickly sucked up the water from the swan's body.As waterfowl, swans have tail fat glands, and their feathers will be rubbed with these secretions to ensure that the feathers dry quickly after leaving the water, so Duoduo geese are already refreshed after only five or six strokes.

Then Xia Anran hurriedly brushed the fur of the hare with damaged self-esteem.

Unexpectedly, the rabbit cat didn't want him to do anything at all, it pressed its wet claws on Xia Anran's handkerchief, with an expression of "since you chose it, why don't you care what I do".

Xia Anran took a deep breath and asked people to speed up the heating of the kang to heat up the room. While pulling the cat over to brush its fur, he said: "Duo Duo's hair dries quickly. You have a lot of hair. It takes more time, so I will wipe it first."

Chang Chang said it was completely unacceptable, and it even showed its small fangs.Duoduo Goose tilted its head and looked around, then looked up at Xia Anran's expression, opened and closed its mouth, showing a goose-like smile, then sat obediently next to Xia Anran and said, "What are you doing?" Wipe it, I'm fine" gesture.

Very white lotus and full of scheming.

After being rejected twice by the drenched cat, the little king finally became furious. He asked someone to fetch cloth strips and wooden boards, and trapped the unprepared long hair on the wooden boards in just three or two strokes, and then He took the veil and rubbed the long hair with this crude device.

Changchang was shocked and broke, it felt that it was really pitiful, and went home but was attacked by birds.Obviously it was the one who started it first, not me!As a result, when he was about to win, he was taken into the pool by this scheming goose, and he is still being bullied like this.

Suddenly, I suddenly thought about that two-legged beast that was fierce but would groom it carefully, woo.

The Twoleg he missed wrinkled his itchy nose, but he didn't have time to rub it right now.

He was hiding behind the bunker at this time, squinting at a patrol cavalry camping in the distance, and at the same time covering the shivering man's mouth with his hand.

This time it was a daily activity, but the Han army came to investigate the environment while the Huns were busy with the autumn harvest, and they also had some extra small tasks, but they did not expect that they would actually encounter the Huns cavalry this time.

At this time, the Xiongnu cavalry should not approach Yuyang County.

And when they appear here now, they must have a plan, and the plan will definitely not be small.

Dou Wan's comrade-in-arms was trembling all the time, if Dou Wan hadn't supported him with one hand, he would have collapsed to the ground.The Xiongnu cavalry in the distance lit a fire and roasted fat rabbits, their posture was extremely relaxed and freehand. Obviously, they did not expect that there would be a scout from the Han Dynasty so close to them.

Now how to do?

The enemy Xiongnu cavalry is a squad led by a leader, twice as many as our own, and they are all cavalry, and from the perspective of attitude, they are all well-trained cavalry, while our own...

Dou Wan glanced behind another big tree. There were five people on his side. There were originally a hundred arrows, but four were consumed on the way. line.

It's okay, as long as the guts are still there, according to Dou Wan's speculation, it's not impossible to force such a person.

The two of them kept this posture for a long time, and it was only after the Xiongnu soldiers finished eating the rabbits and fell down on the spot after finishing the night watch, Dou Wan let go of their hands slightly.Because he found that the waiting time may be too long, and his colleague is not too nervous, which is the so-called state of being afraid and not afraid.

Dou Wan remained calm on face, but in his heart he slightly raised the combat level of this man, he tugged on the man's collar to signal him to follow him.

How to advance in the grass has been taught before. Because of the requirements of the growth environment, the Xiongnu cavalry are very sensitive to the sound in the grass. It is said that some soldiers can even judge the enemy from the frequency and speed of trampling on the grass. How many soldiers are there.

Leaving this aside for the time being, the two of them stopped and went, taking advantage of the wind to advance each time, using the sound of wind and grass to cover up the unnaturalness of their actions.

After a while, they finally arrived at the hiding place of the same robe.The five people faced each other, and the corporal leader looked at the mental state of several of his subordinates and made a decision - they couldn't wait until dawn, they had to find a way to take advantage of the darkness now.

There was no way to escape. At such a short distance, the five of them would not be able to leave their inspection range even if they ran all night.

"At night, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is the weakest, because the horses cannot be seen at night." The corporal said in a breathy voice, "We will attack and kill the people lying on the ground before they are prepared. A few, and then turn around and kill the night watchman, you know?"

"Why, why?" A little soldier asked softly, "Shouldn't the night watchman be killed first?"

The corporal took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and while looking at the Hun soldiers, he said: "Fool, there are only a few people here, and they are all awake if we make any noise. Kill the night watchman first." In order to prevent more enemies from being alarmed, now, our advantage is to catch them by surprise, before they get up to touch the knife, we can kill a few more. So we must be fast and rush up directly. It is not a loss to be able to cut a few at this time .”

"Is there any problem? If there is no problem, I will assign a task. You!" He pointed at the calm Dou Wan, "You boy, are you the son of Qinghe Dou's family?"

Dou Wan was slightly taken aback, but still nodded in admission.

"Okay!" Corporal Chief showed a smile, "I can trust you, a member of the general's family."

"I know that you are very skilled, far better than me. Among the five of us, you have the greatest chance of surviving, so your next task is to grab the horse, and then don't worry about anything, just run in the direction of my big man .”

"When you arrive in Yuyang, tell the sheriff quickly that we found traces of the Huns' cavalry raiding the border. Then your mission will be over."

The other three soldiers trembled when they heard the words, they realized their fate.Sure enough, the corporal said: "Our task is to stop the remaining ten people from getting on their horses for you."

"This may be the last question I ask you guys."

"Do you understand?"

"Ming, Ming..." A soldier bit the tip of his tongue heavily. He had heard about this from the corporal commander before, but he really didn't expect it to happen to him.A simple answer is now like the bitterest medicine lingering on the base of his tongue, his voice is a little choked up, this is the closest he is to death, but he still replied after biting the tip of his tongue, "Understood. "

The reactions of the other few people were not much better than his. Almost all of them had tears in their eyes and could not speak.Only Dou Wan didn't answer, he lowered his eyes, slowly drew the knife out of its sheath from his waist, and then he wrapped the white cloth on the knife handle with his hand and the knife handle bit by bit while everyone was watching , "The corporal chief thought well, but missed one point."

The young man's eyes were as deep as a pool, "Today is the new moon, there is no moon, and there are clouds covering the stars. The horse cannot see the road and will not want to run. Even if I hit it with a weapon, it will be difficult to control."

"Kuangnu rides all Hun horses. The Huns and horses grew up together since childhood. It is difficult to guarantee that there is a whistle to guide them. I can't see them. It is not impossible for them to be brought back to the camp by the horses."

"Escape, the risk is greater."

He stood holding a knife, his eyes were calm and arrogant, "The enemy is only twice as big as me, why don't you kill him with a knife?"

What he said was extremely arrogant, and this attitude directly shocked the four people present. The three soldiers all turned their eyes to the corporal almost at the same time. In the dark sky, the corporal could not see the expressions of several people, but He knows what they are thinking.For the soldiers, no matter what they do, the final result may be a death sentence, but what Dou Wan said added a choice for them, at least it added a sense of psychological balance.

Although they didn't say it, the corporal leader also knew the inner tendency of these people.He secretly sighed, lamenting that the team is really hard to lead, Fang raised his spear, "Then let's fight."

"kill!"

The five figures leaping out from the dark night looked like killing gods.

In the second year of Emperor Jing's Zhongyuan, winter.

An urgent message came from Yuyang County, a frontier fortress of the Han Empire, saying that the Xiongnu cavalry had made abnormal movements in the north. For the sake of safety, the prefects of Yuyang and Shanggu counties reported the matter to the central government.

Regarding the following order, Liu Qi pondered for a long time. He first sent an edict to tell the prefects of the counties along the way to pay attention to the situation and be ready at any time. But in private, he looked at the map and raised his eyebrows for a long time.

On the one hand, Liu Qi felt that the Xiongnu should not start a war at this time. Princess Nangong was just pregnant, and the friendly relationship between the Han and Huns was in the honeymoon period. No matter from which point of view, there was no reason for the Huns to suddenly attack them.

On the one hand, he was really worried that the Huns would take advantage of his mentality and catch him off guard.

The mobilization of soldiers is by no means easy. It seems that a few soldiers have been mobilized, but in fact the amount of food, grass and materials consumed behind them is not a small amount.All the way from Chang'an to Yuyang has to cross several counties and counties.

Most importantly, if he sent his army to the east, so what if the Huns attacked east and west?

If there was a real war in Yuyang, Liu Qi wouldn't be so anxious, but now it's just rumors, and he can wait and see. Liu Qi waved his hand, "Chun Tuo, send someone to find Zhou Yafu."

Zhou Yafu hadn't received the news before, and he frowned when he saw the news from Yuyang County. He had similar scruples with Liu Qi, but he was a general after all, and he and Liu Qi didn't think in the same direction.

The first thing Zhou Yafu thought about was not why the Huns wanted to attack the Han, but how to deal with it if the Huns attacked the Han.He doesn't need to look at the map, the topographical drawings of the Dahan border are all in his mind.

After a long time, he gave the emperor a suggestion, "I think your Majesty can find an excuse to send [-] infantry to station in Jicheng, Yan County."

When Liu Qi heard that his eyebrows moved slightly, he raised his fingertips slightly and said, "Tell me."

"Jicheng is in a triangular shape with Shanggu and Yuyang. If there is an attack, it can arrive in the morning and evening, and the left and right can be supplemented. Moreover, Jicheng is located on the main road, and it can reach Zhuojun and Zhongshan in the south. Grain and materials can be transported by the two counties. .”

After getting permission, Zhou Yafu stepped forward to point out the location for the emperor. He put his two fingers together, and moved his fingers over Yuyang, Shanggu, and Jicheng in turn, forming an almost equilateral triangle.At the same time, he moved his hand down, and swiped across Zhuo County and Lunu County of Zhongshan Kingdom, showing the supply line to the emperor.

"Jicheng used to be the capital of Yan State, and it was stationed by the national army. Although the feudal state was removed, the houses are still there, so it should not be a big problem for [-] soldiers to settle in."

"Furthermore, Jicheng also has a great way to reach You Beiping. If the Huns attack the right wing, they can reach it in two days."

Zhou Yafu put down his hands and said with some confidence on his face, "Your Majesty, I think that with the current strength of the city wall, it will be no problem to last for two days."

Emperor Jing suddenly realized, yes, he forgot about this.He laughed and said, "But because the new material is strong? The thing Shenger made is really good."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yafu gave him a weird look, with complex meanings in his eyes, and he said softly, "The gates of the border counties in various places have built urns, and the defense power can be multiplied."

Since the departure of the Huns cavalry last year, the border gates of the Han Dynasty have undergone a major upgrade. Many border gates have added a city gate because of this upgrade. If the Huns attack the city, they will enjoy the name of breaking one after another. Come for a treat.

It's not that there is so much money at the border, it's because new materials are too convenient to make.At that time, in order to confuse the Huns, everyone did not dare to tear down the old city walls, so the double city walls appeared.

Originally, I wanted to wait for the right opportunity to tear down the old city wall and use a new one, but then a corporal at the border suddenly discovered a problem. When the double city walls appeared, some soldiers walked too many times while patrolling. Losing your way, especially if you're on a errand, forgetting where you've been.

Of course, these soldiers went up to the peak and slapped their heads twice, but he thought about it, these soldiers who walked here every day would get lost, so wouldn't they get lost even more if the Huns came in?

And look at the distance between the two city gates, it's only two people wide, the Han army is okay, it's hard for the Huns on horseback to run away, right?At that time, we will climb to the city wall and throw something down. It is not accurate to hit it, but it will be difficult for the Huns to fight back.

Isn't that a living target?

This idea is very constructive. The local prefect immediately called the love generals under the tent to discuss, and tried to build a similar building. They also tried to ride horses and find people who were not familiar with it, and found that it was indeed efficient.

Horses don't like this kind of narrow road very much. Almost all the horses showed a gesture of rejection when walking for the first time, and the reaction was so intense that they couldn't pull it.Anyway, if you are going this way for the first time, don't even think about riding in on a horse. After a few times of training and the temptation of delicious food, it will be better.

But he was only willing to walk slowly, and the horses walking behind were full of hostility to the horses in front, and wanted to bite other people's tails if they had nothing to do, forcing the soldiers to tie up their own horses' tail hairs first. Otherwise, all the horses in the first battalion will have bald tails, which is too ugly.

After all, the horses were able to adapt to the environment a little bit, and Shangfeng sprinkled some unknown things in it again, and the horses who were reluctant to go in were even more reluctant to go in.Anyone who dares to forcibly pull them in would be poking their hooves without discussion.It's useless to lure me with melons and fruits, what the hell is this place, who wants to go in!

With candy bars, candy bars can... Only expensive candy bars can compensate for their wounded hearts.

The prefects from all over the world visited each other, wanting to see how the other party made it, and they were greatly inspired. Suddenly, someone who passed by Zhongshan State said that they had seen a similar design at the northern port of Zhongshan State, and immediately someone Go to Zhongshan to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Chengzhi of Zhongshan Guoguo enthusiastically shared his construction experience with his colleagues. As for the visit?This doesn’t work, it’s fine to show you a concept map, the detailed layout is a secret.

Ouch, what a big deal!Don't let me see that I really have to study it carefully. At present, the prefects of border counties are like sponges. After absorbing enough water and seeing the successful experience, they rub their hands together, and when they come back, they scatter.

What should I do if there are only so many official materials?It’s okay, just use the old method to make it, the new material has considerable hardness, and it’s good to strengthen the key parts.

What should I do if I don’t have enough money?It's okay. Recently, there are many prisoners who have been arrested by the governor. These people can just apply and use them. They are all free labor ducks.

What if the design is too complicated for anyone to remember?uh, this...

In short, according to Zhou Yafu, the prefects of almost every border county adopted strange and weird settings when building the city gates, and the source of all this was the youngest son.When the report came up, both he and the Taiwei felt that there was nothing wrong with it. They just waited to see if this defensive measure was effective, and put it in the daily report item. Liu Qi might just listen to it and get over it.

Liu Qi thought about it carefully, it seems that a long time ago, the youngest son did say that he changed the design of the city gate, and he didn't seem to pay much attention at that time.Hearing that Zhou Yafu's newspaper said both inside and outside that the Zhongshan Kingdom was engaging in mystery, Liu Qi coughed dryly, "Hey, Chuntuo, go and see if Xiaojiu's letter to me has written in detail what is going on with this urn city. Made it."

"Return to Your Majesty, I have an impression of this matter." As Liu Qi's work partner, Chuntuo certainly knew what effect His Majesty wanted, and immediately bowed and said, "His Highness Nine wrote a letter at the beginning of the construction of the Wengcheng, and he will give it to His Majesty after the completion of the construction." Passed a blueprint, but the blueprint is now with the prince, Your Majesty, do you want to see the old slave..."

"Go and call the prince over here." Liu Qiqiang suppressed his smug smile, and coughed lightly, "Isn't it a waste of money to put this thing in his place? Hurry up and show it to the prime minister."

Chuntuo left in response, and was stopped by Liu Qi again when he reached the door, "Wait a minute."

He thought for a while, and then said, "Call the prince over and let him listen to the prime minister's teachings. The prime minister has much more experience in this area than him."

"Here." Chun Tuo bowed, saw Liu Qi waving his hand to indicate that he had nothing else to do before retreating, and walked away quickly when he got out of the announcement room.

The two of them were left alone in the room, and Liu Qifang's nervousness had gradually dissipated. He picked up the teacup, glanced at Zhou Yafu, and inexplicably saw the aggrieved look on the little old man's face.

Liu Qi almost wanted to laugh three times.Unexpectedly, he thought happily, my son is so reliable, he will report to me first when he invents anything, is your son so obedient?no!Even if you are good, so what, can you be as smart as my son?No!

He seems to have heard a gossip before, that Zhou Yafu's son is mediocre, and it's a good thing to make trouble.Hey, the family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate.

It's normal, after all, there are not many people in this world who can give birth to so many talents like me.

At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly felt great spiritual satisfaction.

The expressionless Zhou Yafu felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles in Liu Qi's sight, and he was uncomfortable anywhere. He felt the hair on his back explode several times and wanted to take out his sword, but even if he was the prime minister, he was not allowed to wear it. The sword goes to the palace, at this time, I can only endure it.

But it made him miserable.

Fortunately, Chuntuo moved quickly, and returned with Liu Che in just a while.Liu Che entered the room out of breath, and after paying homage to Liu Qi, he looked at Prime Minister Zhou Yafu.

The stubborn little old man doesn't have a good impression of Liu Che, and he prefers the former prince Liu Rong because of national conditions and personal character.But Zhou Yafu considered himself a mature person, he would not vent his anger on children, so he bowed his hands to Liu Che, "Prince."

Liu Xiaozhu also bowed to Zhou Yafu, imitating his attitude and saying, "Prime Minister."

The corner of Liu Qi's mouth twitched. He ignored these two childish people, but asked Liu Che to quickly show Zhou Yafu the Urn City Map.

The Wengcheng map drawn by the little king is a bird's-eye view combined with local topographical paintings. In the north of Zhongshan Kingdom, a branch of Yishui was used as the dividing line from Zhuo County, and this river was used as a moat to build a defensive offensive. outside the city.

The city defense of the Western Han Dynasty was actually based on the city walls, the city guards and Guo Weimin.

For poor areas, it would be nice to be able to build a good city.Guo generally means meaning, and there are wilderness besides Guo, which is a place where large fields and poor people live.If there was an enemy attack, the peasants would seek refuge in Guocheng, but they would inevitably encounter situations where they were too late to escape, or when they arrived at the city gate, they found that the city gate was closed.

The design of Zhongshan Kingdom is to go to the wild, and use Guomen as the first gate to protect its internal residents.

Such a design is unique.

The author has something to say:

Duoduo: I won't lose! (flapping wings)

Chang Chang: Where did the wild duck come from to add drama to him?Now it’s all meow people, you know meow? (shows fangs)

Xia Miao: Oh.

Yishui is the Yishui where the wind is rustling and Yishui is cold, and the geographical location is correct.

The concept of Wengcheng has actually been around for a long time, but its actual application has to be done later, because the capital city of rich dynasties (such as the Han and Tang dynasties) was very safe, but the cost of building border gates was too high, and the rich and unsafe dynasties... (You guys Know which one I'm talking about) will start to vigorously build this kind of defense facilities mainly for defending the [city].

The urn city left in China is basically from the Ming Dynasty.
