Qinchuan's water conservancy project only started. Just after inspecting several mountain valleys, three ponds were decided. Before he could start construction, Zhang Kewang and a few people came.

After defeating those people, no fool would dare to come to Mengjiazhuang to get into trouble in a short period of time, and the water conservancy project can finally start construction.

On the second day of the burial in Mengjiazhuang, the water conservancy army drove cattle, horses, carriages, chickens and buses, carrying bamboo baskets and baskets to the first project address: Xitougou at the west end of Loufan Town.

This ravine is formed by the intersection of two ravines split from the ridge of Heishan Mountain. Every year, spring snow melts. After the snow on Zhouhong Mountain in the west melts, it forms two small streams with the melting snow of Heishan. It gathers in Xitougou, flows into Xiaojian River, and finally merges into Fen River.

There is a large area of ​​low wasteland under the ravine, and further down there is a barren field by Xiaojian River. During the years when there is plenty of rain, these fields have been cultivated, but now they have been drought year by year. Xiaojian River is drying up year by year. The fields have lost their source of irrigation water and they really cannot produce food. Dozens of land owners have long gone to be refugees to make a living, and the fields have naturally been abandoned.

The farmers in ancient times were not stupid, so they naturally knew the benefits of water conservancy. The problem was that water conservancy repairs were huge and they used too much labor. Without the organization of government and large households, they could not be repaired at all. Poor farmers could not even have enough food, and they had no strength or enough people to repair water conservancy.

There are people in Qinchuan who have food and build a few ponds and reservoirs, so it is not difficult to do so. Just give the villagers and villagers a full stomach.

In his blueprint, Xitougou is going to be built into a reservoir.

Zhouhong Mountain should be 17000 meters above sea level. With just one heavy snow or heavy rain a year, the reservoir can be filled, which can meet the water required for hundreds of acres of fields in a season. If drought-resistant grains such as millet are planted, it can also irrigate more fields.

The 1,200 village households in Mengjiazhuang and 1,300 villagers in Loufan Town, regardless of gender, age, and young, all the young and young were in battle. The young and strong, with hoes and shovels digging soil in the middle of the valley, while the old and weak drove the animals or pushed the chickens and buses to pull the soil to the dam at the valley, and pulled the animals to slim up on it. The inside of the dam was piled with stones and sacks of soil brought from nearby, and wooden piles were also used to block cross-block every distance.

Today, Mengjiazhuang is not short of tools. Bashan tigers had captured thousands of pieces from Loufan and Lin County, all of which were piled up in Huangcongshan. They probably wanted to melt them and forge weapons. Now they have all been used by Qin Chuan to repair water conservancy.

Under Qin Chuan's heavy temptation, the two blacksmiths collected dozens of apprentices and taught the group of people to make farm tools day and night.

When the water conservancy army was working hard, Lao Huang would climb to the ridge next to him, tear his throat and sing a few unique mountain songs in the Luliang Mountains. The loud and long tunes were particularly satisfying in the wilderness, which attracted a group of Loufan villagers to sing.

The villagers of Loufan Town are no longer so afraid of the group of Jiuji Mountain bandits. Although some of them are very fierce, the man in charge of Qin Da is easy to talk to and never bully the villagers. He is much better than Mr. Meng.

Some old men recognized it. The old man who sang the mountain song was also Lou Fanren. He seemed to be from Dongyao Village on the other side of the Fen River. When he was young, he worked as a long-term worker in Mengjiazhuang. Because the two big front teeth were particularly eye-catching and looked silly, people called him Huang Da front teeth.

Now, Huang Da Fang has made a fortune and has become a celebrity around Qin Da. He is in charge of the food, drinking, defecation and urination of the villagers of thousands of villages. However, he is still as stupid as before. He grinned with a big yellow teeth all day long, and he is still as good as before. He smiled at everyone, but he is so angry.

With Huang Da’s front teeth here, this group of people seemed to be much more friendly.

Before a mountain song was finished, a sudden tremor came from the foot, like a ground dragon turning over, or like a bandit coming.

Some villagers threw down their farm tools in panic and ran away in scattered ways. Huang Da’s front teeth opened his throat and shouted loudly was useless.

Soon, a cavalry appeared, rolling up thick smoke, and climbing up the ridge like thunder.

With the neighing of war horses, the cavalry stopped on the ridge, lined up, looking at the villagers running around in the valley.

"I'll work hard for me. Whoever runs around? I'll chop him up with one knife!"

On the ridge, the leading man with a hideous scar on his face scolded fiercely.

When they saw that person, the villagers in the valley realized that it was a false alarm. This group of cavalry was the Guandi army of Mengjiazhuang, and they were practicing nearby to protect them.

The villagers returned to work one after another, but some children burst into tears, scared by the man on the ridge.

The man was named Liu Youzhu, who was one of the generals under the commander Qin. He looked... Many people had never seen such a fierce person in their lives. There was a long scar on their face, which looked like a centipede, from their right eye to the corner of their mouth. It was hideous and terrifying, and children could be scared to cry when they saw it.

Moreover, this guy cursed as soon as he opened his mouth, and would always use his knife to chop people. Not to mention the villagers in the town, even the soldiers of the Guandi Army whom he was in charge of were in the camp, he was afraid of him. He never dared to slack off during training, for fear of being chopped by him.

Even the arrogant and arrogant Miss Meng was managed by Liu Youzhu, who helped Liu Youzhu wash clothes and cook every day, making him look like a gentle and considerate wife.

Now, as soon as this evil spirit appears, no matter the villagers or the villager, he dares to show off. Fortunately, Lao Huang drove the other party away in time, otherwise the few crying children would be suffocated to death by the adults.

In the past few days, the Guandi Army has been familiar with the terrain around Loufan and trained mountain rushing. Not long after Liu Youzhu left, Li Dingliang came with the camp again.

Among the more than 30 old bandits in Jiuji Mountain, Li Dingliang is the most distinguished one because he is very tall and 1.9 meters tall. In an era of general malnutrition, he is simply a prominent figure.

The peak beam is not his real name, but because he has a strong relationship with Liu Youzhu. One is tall and thin, and he can almost take on the sky. The other is as thick as a cow. When he gets together, he has two pillars, one tall and one short. Others simply call him Li Dingliang, and Liu Youzhu, and he is called the pillar of Jiuji Mountain's peak beam, and sometimes it is called Fat Dragon and Skinny Tiger.

Among the three battalions of the Guandi Army, Luo Daniu likes to slap people in the head at any time, Liu Youzhu is like a fierce god, while Li Dingliang is completely opposite. He neither scolds or beats people, speaks slowly and looks very good-tempered.

At the beginning, Guandijun and Zhuangmin liked him very much, thinking that he was kind and did not always whisper like others.

It was not until I saw him killing that I realized that this tall man was not at all friendly.

But overall, it's much better than the other two.

Facing this, the villagers became much more courageous, and they looked at the most strange general under the command of Director Qin.

It is really rare for people who are so tall.

Li Dingliang was not very comfortable when he was seen, so he stayed for a short while before leaving.

...

Qin Chuan did not go to dig the soil, but led two hundred people to the camp with Luo Daniu and Bombaoer and others to survey the terrain in the Guandi Mountain area.

There are two famous mountains in Guandi Mountain, one is Beiwudang Mountain, also known as Zhenwu Mountain. There is a magnificent Zhenwu Temple built on the mountain, which is one of the holy places of Taoism in the north.

The other is Xiaowen Mountain, originally named Guanhua Mountain. It is the highest peak of the entire Luliang Mountains and the second highest mountain in Shanxi after Wutai Mountain. It is more than 2,800 meters above sea level.

It is said that after Empress Dowager Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty passed away, Emperor Xiaowen went to this mountain to memorialize for three days, but he did not enter his grain of rice, so he was named Xiaowen Mountain.

Guo Yan’s village is built on Shentai Peak halfway up the mountain, built along the mountain. There is only one small road up the mountain, which is extremely steep.

On that day, Guo Yan had only six or seven hundred more than a thousand men left. Most of them fled and defected to Wang Gang, Bao Wu, Bashanhu and others, but many people still escaped.

Now, there are about three or four hundred people on the Dazhai Village of Shentai Peak.

Qin Chuan was not interested in these people, but was very interested in the food, horses, soldiers and armor in the village, and was also very interested in this copycat.

This big village is less than forty miles away from Fangshan Fort to the west. Fangshan Fort is also the western gateway to Loufan, Jingle and Lan County. The importance of its strategic position is self-evident.

Shentai Peak Dazhai is a must-have.

But if you can't attack hard, if his 800 Guandi Army piled up, I'm afraid that someone would smash him a round of stones.

This big village can only be taken away by wisdom.

Because the terrain was not clearly surveyed and I didn't think of any good way for the time being, Qin Chuan simply asked Luo Daniu to close the mountain first, blocking the two important entrances and exits of Xiaowen Mountain, and only allowed to go out, not allowed to enter.

At the same time, people were sent to Shentai Peak every day to shout, persuading the people in the mountain village to surrender.

Qin Chuan planned to transfer Li Dingliang's camp to Huangcongshan to guard the camp, because Huangcongshan is very close to Shentai Peak, only a dozen miles away, and it will arrive in half an hour after riding a horse.
