Chapter 52 This pit was dug just right!

The next day, Leng Yan, Jiang Wei and others, and four other militants came to the Shiyang River.

Du Ruhui and others also followed, just because Leng Yan said yesterday that he would arrange the construction of the customs here.

"Old Du, please allocate some money and food from the warehouse and send the livestock to General Xue and General Hu Yan. Be sure to ensure their food and grass, and inform them about the construction of the barriers!"

Leng Yan stood by Shiyang River and began to deploy.

"Yes, King Yan."

"Jiang Wei, I'll leave it to you about mining stones. It's best to have three feet square in each stone, no more or less."

"Jiang Wei accepts the order!"

"Tian Feng, you are responsible for organizing twenty stonemasons, and sending ten people in the east and west to let them stand there."

"Tian Feng obeys the order"

"Song Ci, you can't stop making water trucks. You organize some people to cut down wood..."

"Song Ci understands."

In this way, the matter of Zhuguan officially kicked off.

"Everyone, the pass in the west of Quanyang will be called Yangguan after that. How about the pass in the east of Quanyang be called Shanhaiguan?"

Leng Yan was too lazy to think about his name, so he simply moved the names of two famous passes on the earth.

Originally, Leng Yan wanted to name the Xiongguan in the west of Quanyang as Jiayuguan, but later he thought of a famous poem.

"I advise you to have a glass of wine, and you will have no friends when you go west to Yangguan!"

The two words Yangguan are more in line with the temperament of Quanyangxi.

"Good name! The Yan King is mighty!"

What Leng Yan did not expect was that his lazy behavior was actually praised by his subordinates, especially several scholars, whose eyes changed when he looked at Leng Yan.

They felt that these two names were magnificent and majestic, and these two places would soon be shocked.

Just when Leng Yan started to build Yangguan and Shanhaiguan in full swing,

In the Western Regions, the news of Mo Wei's defeat spread like wildfire. For a moment, the ministers were angry and wanted to fight back to Quanyang and shouted.

But when they heard that Leng Yan was the one who defeated the Mo family, they were shocked at first, and then there was no news of counterattacking Quan Yang.

But "The Great Zhou is a liar"

"Leng Yan is still alive, and the Xuanlang Iron Cavalry has been replaced by Quanyang Blood Cavalry." News similar to this has quietly spread throughout the Western Regions.

There were many spies in the Western Regions of other countries, and they also received the news at the first time. So hundreds of carrier pigeons flew out of the Western Regions to the countries in the east. In a short time, the birth of Liuhewan will spread throughout the eastern dynasty.

In Jinzhou Prefecture, Wang Lei shook his head helplessly at the imperial edict from the imperial city. Not only did the reinforcements that had not arrived after waiting for a few days, he even asked him, a general of the cavalry, to take a thousand soldiers to repair the official road.

"Your Majesty, this time the matter is probably not as simple as you thought!"

Wang Lei smiled bitterly and said to himself. Now, thinking about the scene he saw at the beginning, he still felt palpitations.

That day, when he was standing on the top of the hill with grain and salt, he actually saw a white-clothed swordsman and a hundred cavalry standing on the other side of Quanyang Realm.

The white-clothed swordsman stood casually, but his breath was like a majestic mountain, which made Wang Luo unable to go further. His intuition told Wang Luo that he would definitely die if he went further.

Later, after hearing the threatening words of the swordsman in white, he decisively retreated. Even so, there was still a faint bloodline on his neck.

Therefore, he rushed to Jinzhou Prefecture and reported the situation.

However, in order to worry about causing greater shock, he reported one detail, that is, the word "Yan" embroidered on the big banner carried by the one hundred cavalry!

When he saw the word Yan, he would not say how shocked he was. In Quanyang, there was no other one who dared to use such a banner except Leng Yan.

"I should have reported this detail at the beginning, now..."

Wang Lei secretly scolded himself for being stupid. He thought that as long as he informed the white-clothed swordsman, it would inevitably cause shock to the government and the people. But sooner or later, Leng Yan would go to Daliang to be the prince-consort, so he simply didn't say it. Now it seems that he is thinking less.

Just as General Wang Lei was thinking about it, a middle-aged man walked into the government office.

"Report to General Wang and He Fan, the commander of the Jinzhou Prefecture Army, came to report."

"Oh, now the imperial edict is issued. Go and order a thousand soldiers of the palace, bring shovels and other tools, and go to Shanyang County tomorrow!"

Although Wang Lei was helpless, he could only abide by Leng Jue's will at this moment.

At this time, he had only one thought in his heart, that is, when he went to fill the official road, the white-clothed swordsman would be fine if he didn't stop him.

In fact, Wang Lei was overthinking this. The place where the official road was dug up, there were already many huge rocks piled up.

After receiving the news from Leng Yan, Ximen Chuxue and Hujia Army directly requisitioned the huge pit dug by the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the eyes of those stonemasons, this was simply the most perfect foundation pit.

As for Cao Juncheng and others, they were driven away by the Hu family army a hundred miles away.

Now, except for hundreds of trucks of grain and salt left here, there is no soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Leng Yan, who was still making a water truck, was very happy after receiving such news and simply exchanged for a mountain-moving clerk to assist the craftsmen here. The other four were doing their best to move all the mined stones here. As for Quanyangxi, they could slow down first.

The mountain-moving heroes did not know how powerful they were until they were used. They walked like flying with a huge rock of two thousand pounds on their backs.

With their help, in three days, the huge pit had been completely filled with stones, and was even more than one meter higher than the ground.

The loess that had been dug out before also made the stonemasons make mud and pour it into the base of the Xiongguan.

Fortunately, this scene was not seen by the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, otherwise they would have been shocked, because in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it should not be said that such a huge pedestal was seen on this Great Zhou Dynasty.

The progress on the Shiyang River is not small. At this time, there were already thirty huge water trucks standing by the river. The water brought by these water trucks merged into a large river and flowed continuously to the place where Quanyang County Government is located.

At this moment, in addition to Jiang Wei and his cavalry were also constantly mining stones,

Leng Yan had returned to the county government office. He was taking Du Ruhui, Tian Feng and others to inspect the situation of the farmland.

"Yan King, look, that area has turned into a pastoral area. Now there is a river passing by. I believe that the grass will grow in no time. Then there is no need to worry about the problem of the forage." Du Ruhui introduced again and again as he walked.

"Very good. Then we set up a special place for horse-raising to cultivate our own war horses!"

Leng Yan saw that there were any shortcomings and put forward his opinions in time.

"Yes, King Yan, this matter is already under planning."

When passing by a field of crops, Leng Yan was quite satisfied with the green crops in the fields, because he was the creator of all this.

"Look, the Yan King is here!"

When the people in the fields showed cold Yan, they all came over to salute him, and some even knelt down for a long time and shouted long live Yan King.

This is the first time they have been in Quanyang for many years. They no longer have to worry about food or tax burdens.

Some people have already started to think about it. They use their spare time to start doing some small business, or take extra things from their homes to the city to sell. As a result, Quanyang's business has also begun to slowly recover.

"Yan King, this is a special pastry from my house. You can try it, you can't buy it outside."

"Yan King, this is some rice wine made by home. Do you want to drink it?"

The simple people took out their best things to entertain Leng Yan.

At this point, everything in Quanyang has been on the right track. I believe that it will not take long. As long as the population is sufficient, this place will definitely become a prosperous place.
