Lu Bu was about to go out when a small hand held the corner of Lu Bu's clothes and said in a childish voice: "Father, you are going on a long journey again."
Lu Bu looked down and saw that it was his only daughter Lu Wan.
He picked her up and said, "Dad went out to do something very important.
He won't be back for half a month.
Wan'er, be good and listen to your nurse.
Father will take you with him later."
Go to a great place.”
Lu Bu led more than 20 elite soldiers in the battle and galloped on the official road from Chang'an to Nanyang.
Lu Bu felt sorry for his red rabbit horse, so he also brought a auxiliary horse.
The others also had one man and two horses.
Although the warriors in the battle were not cavalry, they could ride horses.
The team quickly left Wuguan, and within a few days, they arrived at the ground in Nanyang County.
Then go west to the edge of the Han River and go southeast along the shore.
The warrior named Xia Yue asked: "My lord, are we going to Xiangyang?
That is Liu Biao's territory."
Lu Bu smiled without answering and said, "We will be there soon."
As he spoke, the continuous cliffs on the other side of the Han River suddenly "sunken" inward, and a large plain wilderness on the other side of the Han River appeared before his eyes.
"We're here, Gucheng.
Gentlemen, find a ferry and let's cross the river."
Lu Bu said.
Gucheng is located in the northwest of Xiangyang, a hundred miles upstream of the Han River.
The terrain is a semi-open plain surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the open side facing the Han River.
There are two tributaries of the Han River meandering through the plains, one from the south and the other from the north.
In the mountains to the west, there are also a large amount of valley plain land along these two tributaries.
The river in the north is called Zhushui, and the river in the south is called Gushui.
There is a small county town at the intersection of Gushui and Hanshui, which is Gucheng County.
Lu Bu opened the map module and made a careful estimate based on the terrain map.
The arable plain land area is at least 160 square kilometers, which is more than 200,000 acres of land.
In the blink of an eye, there was already a city at the mouth of the river where Zhushui poured into the Han River.
The river still flows through the city, and the water gate and moat are complete.
Ding, the main mission "Building a Territory City by the Waterfront" is completed.
Congratulations to the lord for getting 5,000 points as reward.
Lu Bu sighed in disappointment.
He imagined that this main mission would reward a large number of points, which would generate a large number of system troops to return to Chang'an.
Now, this fantasy is shattered.
Lu Bu first spent 2,500 points to upgrade the city wall to a brick-clad rammed earth wall, and then spent 2,500 points to upgrade the residences to an Iron Age intermediate level.
Finally, he spent 8,000 points to generate a thousand warriors to garrison the new city.
He named the city Zhucheng.
Lu Bu asked Xia Yue to command the garrison building the city, and after explaining this to him, he returned to Chang'an without stopping with the rest of his entourage.
When we arrived in Chang'an, it was already setting sun.
The strange thing is that it is not dark yet, but the gate of Chang'an City is closed.
Lu Bu had no choice but to shout to the top of the city and ask the soldiers guarding the city to open the door.
The soldiers guarding the city were Bingzhou soldiers under Lu Bu.
Naturally they recognized Lu Bu and quickly opened the city gate to let Lu Bu into the city.
"After Dong Zhuo died, didn't I tell him that there was no need to close the city gates and let the people come and go freely?

Many people were taken from Luoyang to Chang'an, and there was no way to survive in Chang'an.
If they are not let out, how can they be trapped to death?"
Lu Bu said to The school captain in charge of guarding the gate asked reproachfully.
The captain quickly explained: "The general doesn't know anything.
We just received the order from our superiors today, asking us to be on high alert and close the city gate before sunset, because the remnants of Dong Zhuo's army have rebelled and may besiege Chang'an in the near future."
"Oh, it's so fast."
Lu Bu's heart was frightened, he shook the horse's reins and rode into the city.
"Oh, the master of the house came back just in time.
Lord Situ Wang has visited several times today and invited the master of the house to come to court to discuss matters.
I don't know how to deal with it."
When the housekeeper saw Lu Bu returning, he hurriedly reported.
While he was talking, Wang Yun had already visited him personally.
After Lu Bu quickly changed his clothes, he asked Cangtou at home to welcome him into the living room.
"I heard that the general is ill.
Can he recover?"
Wang Yun asked tentatively.
In fact, of course he already knew that Lu Bu had been out of the city for a few days.
"The general is not ill.
He just went to Nanyang to deal with some personal matters, which is about my fiefdom.
He has to return today."
Lu Bu knew that there was no need to hide it, so he told everything.
Wang Yun nodded and then turned to the topic: "The remnants of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, Li Cui, and Guo Bin have rebelled and are heading towards Chang'an.
The city of Chang'an is completely protected by the generals."
After hearing this, Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said: "Li Ji, although Guo Si's direct subordinates only have a few thousand, they come from the west of Shaanxi County and can gather Dong Zhuo's remnant troops and hijack the civilians along the way.
I'm afraid there will be ten people under Chang'an City.
If all of us are united, However, the composition of these 10,000 defenders is too mixed.
Only about 20% of them are from the general's headquarters, and the rest, from officers to soldiers, are all Dong Zhuo's old troops.
If they collude, the rebels will easily invade the city. " "One hundred thousand, there can't be so many rebels," Wang Yun muttered to himself.
"Wang Situ, I have something to tell you.
Chang'an City cannot be defended without foreign aid.
There are only two ways now.
One is that the imperial court has already made plans to move the capital," Lu Bu said frankly.
"Where can we move the capital to?
Luoyang has already been burned to a pile of ruins by the Dong thieves."
"No, move to my fiefdom.
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
There are dangers to defend and land to farm.
You can temporarily serve as the emperor's residence."
After hearing this, Wang Yun shook his head like a rattle and said: "There is Liu Biao in the south of Gucheng and Yuan Shu in the north.
I think these two people, especially Yuan Shu, have turned away from our Han Dynasty.
What's more, from Chang'an to Nanyang County, There is a long journey of 600 miles, most of which are on Daoshan Road.
You military attachés can still say that we, the civil servants and the emperor, and there are so many palace maids and concubines, how can we be affected?"
Lu Bu sighed and said: "The second thing is to ask for reinforcements.
The general is incompetent, but we can guarantee that Chang'an City will be defended for seven days, but it will be difficult to say after seven days."
Wang Yun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said: "I will ask the princes of Guandong and Huangfu Song, Ma Teng and others in the west for reinforcements.

They should be able to arrive within a few days."
In the remaining peaceful days in Chang'an, Lu Bu, besides rectifying military affairs, played and practiced calligraphy with Lu Wan.
Lu Wan lost her mother when she was young, and she was always taken care of by her wet nurse, so Lu Bu would try his best to stay with Lu Wan in his spare time.
On this day, when he came to Wan'er's boudoir, he heard the sound of laughter in the room.
When she opened the door, she saw that Diao Chan was playing with Wan'er.
When Diao Chan saw Lu Bu, she whispered: "I have met the general."
There seemed to be a hint of resentment in her voice.
Lu Bu was also slightly startled when he saw Diao Chan present.
Then he smiled gently at Diao Chan and asked, "Besides Wang Situ, do you have any other relatives in Chang'an?"
"I lost all my relatives since I was a child.
I was an orphan.
I was bought by Wang Situ and trained as a singer.
But after I agreed to do that for Mr.
Wang, he adopted me as his adopted daughter.
Why did the general ask about this?
" "It's nothing.
We will leave Chang'an in a while.
I thought if you have relatives, you can take them with you."
Lu Bu replied.
These words made Diao Chan feel grateful and warm.
He finally regarded himself as a family member
