Chapter 2110 No pillars in the room
Pengcheng was the capital chosen by Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu.
During the East and West Han dynasties, this city was suppressed by the Han court and was not allowed to develop too fast.
During the Battle of Xia Pi, Cao Cao launched another city massacre, which made the ancient city extremely dilapidated.
Although it is dilapidated, Pengcheng still has a deep foundation.
Its land covers a wide area. Lu Bu occupied the place and after a little repair, he showed signs of restoring his former glory.
He moved a lot of people from Qingzhou to Pengcheng. This city that was once slaughtered by Cao Cao now has the hustle and bustle of the past.
Walking on the streets of Pengcheng, Lu Bu looked at the shops on both sides of the road and said to Pang Tong: "Pengcheng really looks like this now."
"I was shocked when I arrived in Pengcheng." Pang Tong said: "It is said that Cao Cao had slaughtered here, but when I arrived, I didn't see any signs of slaughter. The place that should have been dilapidated is now noisy, which shows how much effort Wen Hou has put into here."
"Pengcheng is the capital chosen by the King of Western Chu. Looking at the past and present, what I admire most is him." Lu Bu said: "Although he failed to win the world, his heroism is still there."
"Wen Hou admires Xiang Yu?" Pang Tong smiled and shook his head: "In my opinion, Xiang Yu is just a general, not the true emperor who can win the world. If it were placed in this day, it would be difficult for him to achieve great things."
"I admire him, not to be him." Lu Bu smiled indifferently: "The world is in chaos. I was born in this era and was destined to be the destiny of heaven, and I want me to end the troubled times."
His words are so arrogant. Looking at the world, there are now many heroes who are stronger than him.
Cao Cao in Henan, Yuan Shao in Hebei, and even Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou were not easy to deal with.
If you say such words, if you spread them, it will easily lead to a violent beating from all the heroes.
The place selected by Pang Tong is not far from the Pengcheng Military Camp.
If the glider takes off from here, the soldiers in the barracks can see air force circling above their heads every day.
When he arrived at the camp that was about to become an air force base, Lu Bu looked at the leveling land and said to Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan has spent a lot of effort here, and the floor is so flat."
Pointing to the military camp next door, Lu Bu continued: "Especially, the soldiers can see the air force take off every day, which is also a great encouragement to them."
"Where is Zilong?" He then asked, "As the commander of the Air Force, why haven't you seen him?"
"General Zhao is still in the barracks." Pang Tong replied: "It has not been built here, and he has not brought the air force soldiers here yet."
"Build as soon as possible." Lu Bu said: "If Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu really plan to deal with me, you don't have much time."
"Wen Hou." Pang Tong said, "There is something I don't know if I should say."
"Shi Yuan has something to say, just say it." Lu Bu signaled him to continue.
"Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu have countless powerful generals under their tent. If they unite, Marquis Wen will definitely not have a chance of winning." Pang Tong said: "I wonder if Marquis Wen has any plans?"
"Planning?" Lu Bu asked, "What planning do you need?"
"Wen Hou has been operating Xuzhou for a long time, and it is already very different from the past. Do you have to watch Xuzhou be occupied by others?" Pang Tong said: "I still think it should be prepared earlier and take advantage of the locust plague to move the people to Jiangdong. It is safer to move the people to Jiangdong."
"Whenever there are great migrations, many people will die on the road." Lu Bu frowned and said, "I still don't want to do that until that day. What's more, the people came to Xuzhou to settle down. Now I want them to go to Jiangdong again. What will they think?"
"I don't mean to migrate all at once." Pang Tong said: "We will migrate in a small amount first, and Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu will not notice any abnormalities. If they migrate on a large scale, they will attract the attention of both of them and will be even more unfavorable to Wen Hou."
"I seem to understand what you mean." Lu Bu asked, "What you mean is to let me migrate the people one by one, and take firm roots in Jiangdong first. If Xuzhou cannot defend, we can also retreat to Jiangdong calmly and use the Yangtze River as the boundary to compete with the strong enemy?"
"That's right." Pang Tong said: "Once Wen Hou withdraws from Xuzhou, neither Cao Mengde nor Yuan Benchu will pursue him in large numbers. The two of them tie each other up, and neither of them will be empty in their homes. When one day they attack each other again, Wen Hou takes the opportunity to fight back, and it is not without a chance."
"I have done so many things in Xuzhou, especially opening a coal mine." Lu Bu said: "The coal mine is very profitable and can forge very good weapons. I am really not willing to abandon Xuzhou."
"The matter has not reached that point, and no one can tell what will happen at that time." Pang Tong replied: "When the two families really come together, it will not be too late for Wen Hou to consider how to deal with the coal mine."
When he came to a place not far from the flat ground, Lu Bu saw a lot of bluestones on the ground.
"What's the purpose of this?" he asked Pang Tong.
"Build a barracks." Pang Tong replied: "The air force is not large and does not need too many barracks..."
"Barricade? Why don't there be any foundation?" Lu Bu asked.
Pang Tongyi looked confused: "Foundation? What do you want that to do?"
"How can you stabilize the house without a foundation?" Lu Bu asked: "Building a house is like this, without laying the foundation, and starting the house on the ground?"
"Stable the house, just build pillars in the house before it is completed." Pang Tong said: "With columns supporting the beams, no matter what, they will not collapse easily."
"You can ask the craftsmen to try not to lay pillars in the house." Lu Bu said: "There is a pillar in the house, so it is always inconvenient to walk around. You can arrange for the craftsmen to lay the foundation on the ground, use yellow mud as the basis, and then build it with fire and roast the yellow mud into bricks and stones. Even if you smash it with a sledgehammer, it will not be so easy to collapse."
"I don't understand very much." Pang Tongyi looked confused.
He hasn't heard of building a house yet, so he doesn't have to build pillars in it.
Can a house without pillars be stable?
From Pang Tong's expression, Lu Bu saw his confusion.
With a smile, he said to Pang Tong: "Don't think too much about Shiyuan, you won't be too conscious about building a house. Why not bring the craftsmen who build the house and I will tell them."
"Wen Hou personally taught the craftsmen how to build, and they must be able to build a better house." Pang Tong responded and ordered the guard behind him: "Go and call the craftsmen who built the barracks."
The guards took the order and left, while Pang Tong accompanied Lu Bu to continue watching the open space where the barracks were about to be built.
