Xu Huang took great pains to control this grassland.

A city is not enough. He will build a new city at the same distance every once in a while on this grassland.

Although it has only been more than a year, three or four such military cities have stood on the grassland.

On the one hand, Xu Huang spent more time in Youzhou and Jizhou, and he knew that the situation here was serious, and the grassland was just a back garden, not a place to live for a long time.

For the great man with a farming civilization, having arable land and a home is the foundation.

The territory of nomadic peoples is not convenient to plant. Such places are not suitable for people to live in, but only for garrisoning troops.

The Xianbei grassland, the original Kebineng Village, was set by Xu Huang as the farthest military center, called Zhenyuancheng.

The city is not big, with only six thousand soldiers garrisoning.

The general defending the city is a veteran under Yuan Yao and Xu Huang's deputy Pei Yuanshao.

Pei Yuanshao has always been by Xu Huang's side. Although he has few opportunities to control the army alone, his qualifications are very old.

They are the oldest veterans under Liu Zheng. Although they are not old, their status is here.

Liu Zheng knew that he was not a talented person who was the solemn army, so he always acted as Xu Huang's deputy, and this ability was enough.

Pei Yuanshao himself does not have such great ambitions. He is just a Yellow Turban Party. It is very satisfying to be able to follow Liu Zheng to his current status.

After all, he knew his own strength, and compared with those generals in Liu Zhengjun, he was completely incomparable.

Any general has outstanding abilities than him. Some people are like this. They can see their abilities clearly and know what level they are at, so they don’t have that many ambitions.

Just want to be content with the status quo.

"Liu Guang, don't be lazy, move quickly."

In Zhenyuan City, Pei Yuanshao directed a team of soldiers to carry dirt here.

Most of the city towers in Zhenyuan City are not piled up with bricks. There are not so many bricks in the north. If they are really using bricks, they can't even burn them.

Therefore, most of the city walls in the city use the surrounding soil and mix some mud to make the city towers.

Although such a city tower is not very defensive, it is much more explained than just building it with wood.

And after all, it is just a military city. Such a city wall is naturally more than enough to deal with the grassland nomadic peoples without siege equipment.

A city tower like this is not like an ordinary city, with four gates.

This city has two gates, one large and one small.

On one side of the city gate, the south corresponds to the place where the Han Dynasty is located.

On the side of the north facing the grassland, there is only a small city gate, and it is closed all year round and will not be opened, and it is blocked by stones.

This small city gate will only open in dangerous moments.

Now Pei Yuanshao brought these men and horses to pull some wood and dirt from the woodland near Zhenyuan City.

On the one hand, we continue to repair the city tower, and on the other hand, we plan to continue to install two-end projectors on the city tower.

A military city will inevitably set up two stone catapults on the city tower that are specially projected outside the city.

"General, I'm not lazy. This piece of soil is too heavy."

"Go and go, I don't know you, you are a man, and you can be lazy for a while and you will be happy to bloom. I tell you, hurry up and set up the stone catapult. This is General Xu Huang's order. The next time he comes to patrol, if we don't have stone catapults again, we will be scolded."

Pei Yuanshao and his soldiers are already very familiar with each other. They have long been a group of veterans. After being together for a long time, they naturally know their nature.

"General Xu Huang's order? You have to do it quickly. Did you hear that, you guys, work quickly."

This guy named Liu Guang immediately began to command his soldiers and mobilized them.

Thinking about completing what was explained above as soon as possible.

Liu Guang was directing others, but he secretly stood next to Pei Yuanshao.

"Boss, let's go to drink?"

People like Liu Guang and others were sent to this remote place. On weekdays, there was nothing else to do, it was just two things.

One drinks and the other gambles.

Of course, I can’t drink Sanliangye brewed by Liu Zheng, but there are some ordinary water wines for them to drink.

And gambling is a good way to play.

Ten years ago, Liu Zheng brought playing cards to this world, and the gameplay of Landlords has long become popular in this era.

Especially Pei Yuanshao, when he followed Liu Zheng, he had become a skilled gambling gambler. Later, when he guarded the border himself, he would teach his younger brothers most of the time.

This made this gameplay spread in the army. Many soldiers guarding outside had fun in their spare time, which was to fight against the Landlord.

Liu Zheng also knew about this, but when he thought that these soldiers also needed entertainment, and the amount of gambling they were not large, he turned a blind eye.

Although it is still prohibited from drinking and gambling in the army on the surface, the people below will do it secretly. Generally, it is not a big deal, and the superiors will not really cause trouble.

"Drinking? Don't go, you are really brave. We are in Zhenyuan City. Recently, there have been many people of unknown origin on this grassland. I always feel something is wrong."

After all, Pei Yuanshao is a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round. Although his martial arts skills are not very good, he is smart. Otherwise, he would not have been able to be Xu Huang's deputy with Liu Zheng for so long.

"Boss, what are you worried about?"

"I always feel that these grassland people with unknown origins are making our own ideas."

"Well, boss, I think you are just scaring yourself. These Xianbei people have long been afraid of us. Last year, General Xu Huang and General Sun Ce and others directly brought their nests, and the one named Ke Bineng was also dead."

"Now the people on the grassland are just some people without leaders and scattered people, and they can't make any big waves."

Liu Guang still didn't believe that these Xianbei people dared to oppose the Han Dynasty.

That's right.

But Pei Yuanshao still did not agree with Liu Guang's request to drink.

At this moment, a war horse suddenly rushed out of Zhenyuan City.

He rushed towards the city gate in a hurry.

Before he reached the city gate, the soldiers on the war horse began to shout at the city.

"Report! Report urgently! Attack of the enemy!"
