"Your Highness, what are the requirements for this fort?”Zhang Ping returned to the question from the beginning.
"Since it's used to station troops, it's best to be near mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Most importantly, it's convenient for our army to move. We can go north to Chen County, and it's convenient to go south to Runan.”Liu Chong told him the requirements for the location of the castle.
"Yes, sir! Your Highness, I'll look for it according to your request.”
"Okay, you have to be fast. Also, how are you doing with the equipment I let you familiarize yourself with last time?”
"I'm already getting used to it." Zhang Ping replied. After he was defeated by Liu Chong last time, he no longer had any resistance to those machines. He also began to use them during training. At the beginning, it was very awkward, but now it was much better.
"As long as I have the time, I must let the guards of the residence familiarize themselves with it. When the guards expand, I will be of great use.”Liu Chong warned.
"Yes, sir!"
When Zhang Ping left the study room, there were only 10 days left. He needed to design his castle now.
Although the fort was called a fort, it was actually a small city. It was just that Liu Chong's fort was mainly used to station troops, so it did not need many civilian facilities like a city. Therefore, other than the barracks and training grounds for the soldiers, he only needed to plan the site for the logistics personnel. In addition, he also needed to design some city walls as peripheral facilities. The most important thing was the special training ground.
"Ah!" A pair of soft little hands reached over. Liu Chong grabbed it lightly without thinking and pinched it with his hand. It was as smooth as if it had no bones.
"Your Highness, you should rest!" Man 'er whispered into Liu Chong's ear. When he heard it, his heart skipped a beat.
However, the design of the fort was not finished yet. Liu Chong was not in the mood to sleep. He turned around and replied gently,"Man 'er, I might have to stay up late tonight. I have to finish drawing this blueprint.”As he spoke, he pointed at the blueprint on the desk.
The blueprint was dotted with stars. The general framework was completed, and the remaining work was to perfect the details.
"Yes! I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks and ginseng soup to refresh you!”Knowing that Liu Chong was doing serious business, Man 'er would not become arrogant because of his pampering. Instead, she would often understand Liu Chong's difficulties. This was actually what Liu Chong appreciated the most.
"Good! Be good!" Liu Chong caressed her little face and smiled.
Smelling the body fragrance that was still on his hand, Liu Chong returned to work.
"This is the drill ground. If one thousand people use it, it will be at least the size of five football fields. Two hundred people each. There will also be archery targets set up here to practice archery. Yes! There was also a special training area here. It was almost time for the blacksmith district.。。。”
Unknowingly, the east had already begun to brighten. A new day was about to begin. Liu Chong yawned and stretched his limbs. He looked at the blueprint on the desk with satisfaction and nodded with satisfaction.
He muttered to himself, Finally, it's done!”
Liu Chong divided the entire fort into four parts: the training area, the logistics area, the craftsman area, and the core area. According to the city, there were four gates in the east, west, south, and north. The fort was one mile long and one mile wide, and four miles in circumference. It occupied a total area of more than 360 mu, which was 250,000 square meters in modern measurement.
The training area was the place where the guards conducted special training. It was divided into two parts. The main part was the daily training area, where regular training was carried out, such as physical fitness, shooting, horseback riding, formation, etc. The other part was the special training area, which was called the death zone by Liu Chong. It was the place that tested the guards the most.
The logistics area was where the guards lived, ate, entertained, treated patients, and stored their horses and supplies.
The craftsman area included the smelting area, which was responsible for the smelting of weapons materials such as iron and copper. The weapons area was responsible for forging weapons and armor. There was also a design area, which was responsible for the improvement and design of various tools and weapons.
The core area was where Liu Chong usually stayed.
The four main functional areas and the surrounding walls formed the entire fort. According to Liu Chong's design, it could accommodate a total of 5,000 people. This was also to prepare for the follow-up plan.
He was in a good mood, and his energy was particularly high. He did not feel sleepy at all. In that case, Liu Chong simply practiced the Five Animal Frolics in the courtyard.
The figure in the courtyard was like a tiger descending from the mountain, like a wild crane in the clouds, and then like an agile ape. His figure was changing between several animal forms.
"Roar!" After a tiger-like roar, Liu Chong stopped cultivating and stood up. His entire body felt exceptionally comfortable.
In the next few days, Liu Chong was so busy that his feet did not even have time to touch the ground. He instructed the people in the manor to prepare property and purchase materials. He also instructed the craftsmen to manufacture weapons according to his design. He also wrote a letter to Luo Jun to understand the situation of the refugees. He also arranged for the procurement of the manor to go to the Guanzhong area to buy war horses. Guanzhong was short of food, so the warlords had no choice but to start a business of exchanging military horses for food. He was extremely busy.
Now that everything was ready, they could start work after Zhang Ping reported back.
Speaking of which, Zhang Ping had been in Xiang County for a few days with more than ten guards. He had reported once in the middle. Seeing that the deadline of ten days was about to arrive, Liu Chong couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. As the saying went, plans couldn't keep up with changes. No matter how well a plan was calculated, it might fail because of the slightest difference in details.
"Little cabinet! Go and see if Zhang Ping is back!" Liu Chong said helplessly to the small cabinet. In fact, he also knew that this was futile, but he felt uncomfortable if he didn't let someone see him.
"Yes, sir!" Little Cabinet agreed.
Liu Chong couldn't help but laugh as he watched the figure disappear in front of him. What was wrong with him? He couldn't keep his cool! He had to pay attention. If a person who achieved great things couldn't even handle such a small matter, how could he fight on the battlefield in the future?
Thinking of this, his previously frustrated mood gradually cooled down. He gently picked up a copy of Wu Zi and started reading.
"The commander of civil and military affairs is the general of the army. It is a matter of war to combine hardness with softness. When people talk about generals, they often look at courage. Bravery is only a fraction of a general's strength. Brave men must despise alliance, despise alliance and do not know the benefits; That's not possible. Therefore, there are five things that a general should be careful about: The first is to be reasonable, the second is to be prepared, the third is to be decisive, the fourth is to be cautious, and the fifth is to be restrained. The so-called governance is to govern the masses as if they were few. Be prepared, go out as if you see the enemy. If you can succeed, you will not be afraid of death when facing the enemy. The so-called warning, although the victory is like the beginning of the war. The so-called restraint means that the law is simple and not cumbersome. It is the etiquette of a general to accept an order without refusing the enemy, to say goodbye to the enemy after being defeated, and to say goodbye to the enemy after being defeated. Therefore, when the army goes out, there will be the honor of death, but there will be no shame of life.”
