    After Dou Jiande put on the cloak of loyalty and achieved great success, all the major forces in the world suddenly dressed up as loyal ministers and filial sons. It is well documented that after Yang Guang's death, there were no less than ten tombs with bare clothes, and the whole country was completely white at this moment.  Some of the counties and counties of the Sui Dynasty that persisted took advantage of the situation to defect to various forces, and the forces of the world were once again reshuffled.  Hebei.  Dou Jiande recruited Wang Congxiong to surrender to Hebei, and Luo Yi established himself as the general manager of Youzhou, claiming to be loyal to the Sui Dynasty.  Li Mi dominated the Central Plains, with more than 300,000 troops, and his power expanded again.  The South.  Xiao Mian occupied Baling and restored the Liang Kingdom's homeland, with more than 400,000 troops. Du Fuwei monopolized Jianghuai. In addition, there were Li Zitong and Lin Shihong from Jiangnan.  North.  Li Yuan, Liu Wuzhou, Guo Zihe, Liang Shidu, Li Gui, etc.  In mid-February, all forces in the world have completed their respective integrations, and a pattern of competing for hegemony has been formed.  Daxing City, Chengtian Hall.  Yang You pulled down the flags representing the Sui Dynasty on the sand table one by one and replaced them with the flags of all parties.  The sand table was colorful, with more than a dozen flags fluttering. Yang You couldn't help but frown. The world was not only in chaos, it was simply a mess.  Around Yang You, Yin Shishi, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling also frowned and thought hard. The current situation is not optimistic!  Various forces crisscrossed each other, and the Eighteenth Route Army rebelled against the king. On the other hand, on the Sui Dynasty, Luoyang was a lonely city. Only Yang You took the lead in laying out the plan, bringing the entire Guanzhong under control, and also conquered the Bashu land.  In order to safely take over the land of Bashu, Gu Yi fought for his life.  Traveling across mountains and rivers to conquer Bashu, thinking of this, Yang You felt a flash of fire in his heart. As long as he owns the land of Bashu, the power of Daxing City will definitely double, and the chance of pacifying the world in the future will definitely increase.  "Where has the history of bones reached now?" Yang You asked.  "Your Majesty the King of Dai! The land of Bashu has been pacified. Now Gu Neishi has arrived at Pingwu County and will arrive at Daxing City in the near future, but" Master Yinshi paused.  "It's just what?" "It's just that the officials in Shu are rebelling. Now General Li Jing is suppressing the rebellion. It is estimated that he will stay in Shu for a while. I'm afraid he won't be able to turn around in a short time." Master Yinshi said.  A trace of anger emerged in Yang You's heart. After hearing the news of Yang Guang's death, these aliens all had different intentions and took advantage of the situation to rob him.  The Liao people rebelled not once or twice.  It's just that these officials have always been entrenched in the deep mountains and forests of Sichuan.  When the government sends troops to suppress.  They will hide in the deep mountains and old forests. Once the army retreats, these officials will come out to cause chaos again.  Let the government be exhausted.  When Yang Guang was alive.  Having taught the Liao people a lesson, the Liao people in Sichuan and Sichuan had only been honest for more than ten years. Now that those Liao people learned the news of Yang You's death, they began to think of revenge again.  "Don't worry! General Li will be back soon." A trace of coldness appeared on Yang You's face.  "These Liao people obviously made a wrong calculation. Li Jing, a peerless general, has the world's strongest soldiers in his hands. He has just tried his skills in Guanzhong and has rich experience in rebellion. How can the untrained stragglers of the Liao people be his opponents.  "His Royal Highness Dai Wang is wise. Those officials are definitely no match for General Li. I believe that after this battle, Shuzhong will be stable." Du Ruhui said, and then changed the subject, "However, although all the counties in Bashu have surrendered to His Highness Dai Wang,  But Wei Chen thinks that this is not enough!" Yang You looked over in confusion.  "Wei Chen believes that the brick road leading to the land of Bashu must be built as soon as possible. As long as the brick road is extended into Bashu, once there is a change in Bashu, the army of Daxing City can enter Bashu in the shortest time. At the same time, the land of Bashu is rich in products.  With the brick road connected, these materials will be continuously imported into Daxing City, and the prosperous business of Daxing City will be able to find a broad market, and then our Daxing City will be able to double its strength," Du Ruhuixin said, using words like market.  He heard about it from Yang You, and now he has used it perfectly.  "Okay!" Yang You was excited when he thought of the beautiful prospects described by Du Ruhui, and couldn't help but cheer.  He glanced at Du Ruhui appreciatively. Du Ruhui, who was in charge of the Disaster Relief Department, had already kept the benefits of the brick road in mind. At this moment, he keenly realized how much benefit it would bring to Daxing City if the brick road was extended to Bashu and other places.  Yang You threw himself on the map, carefully looked at the sand table in the land of Bashu, pointed to the south of Daxing City and said: "I remember that the brick road has been built a lot to the south before. Where does the brick road extend to now?" Yang You once  It was planned to have Daxing City as the center, with two brick roads intersecting vertically and horizontally, one south and one north. However, the key construction of Daxing City at that time wasThe direction of the attack was west and north, so that Li Gui and Liang Shidu could use troops. As for the brick road to the south, there was little progress.  Du Ruhui stepped forward and pointed at the sand table: "Hanchuan County, Xicheng County and Jingzhao County are adjacent, and brick roads have been built." Yang You nodded. When Daxing City rose last year, the counties surrounding Jingzhao County began to build brick roads.  Daoxing City is connected to Hanchuan County, which is one of them.  "Your Highness, Prince Dai, there has only been a two-day road from Guanzhong to Sichuan since ancient times. One is to go from Hanzhong, Hanchuan County, through Maming Pavilion and take the plank road, and then through Jiange Pavilion to Sichuan. This is the shortest way to Sichuan." Du Ruhui pointed to Hanchuan.  Referring to the rows of mountains in front of the county, the clay figurine Zhang's craftsmanship is exquisite, and he even made dots of plank roads connecting the mountains, which is clear at a glance.  "But it's impossible to build a brick road!" Master Yin Shi pointed at the Maming Pavilion area and frowned.  "The road to Shu is difficult, but it is difficult to reach the sky!" Yang You looked at the steep Maming Pavilion and unconsciously uttered an ancient poem from his mouth.  Yin Shishi is a martial artist and does not have much literary talent as this poem. However, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are both well-read poems. Their eyes lit up when they heard this poem. The more they came into contact with Yang You, the more they became  They feel that Yang You is unpredictable, and they always get surprises from His Highness Dai Wang.  "It is true that brick roads cannot be built in the Maming Pavilion area, but we can build brick roads to both ends of the plank road and use manpower to transport them across the plank road. Although it is a little more laborious, it is much faster than before." Du Ruhui said.  Yang You shook his head. Maming Pavilion separated Guanzhong from Sichuan and blocked the brick road, which had completely destroyed the advantages of the four-wheeled carriage and wasted manpower.  Du Ruhui saw everyone's expressions and knew that everyone disagreed with this road. He pointed his finger eastward and said: "The second road is from Ankang, Xicheng County to Bazhong, Qinghua County, and then from Bazhong to Sichuan." Du Ruhui's finger  We made a big circle on the brick road. Although this road does not require walking on the plank road, the distance is more than twice as long.  The amount of work has greatly increased.  Qinghua County is located southwest of Daxing City.  From Thanh Hoa County to the southwest, you can reach the Sichuan Plain.  Yang You looked at the terrain of Thanh Hoa County and couldn't help but frown. The sand table in Chengtian Hall was very finely made. Yang You could intuitively see that it was not all a flat road from Thanh Hoa County to the Chengdu Plain.  There are also many rugged mountain roads.  But compared to the plank road of Maming Pavilion.  This place has been so much better.  "Your Highness, King Dai. Although the road from Bazhong to Shuzhong is gentle, it is still impossible to build brick roads in Feilai Peak, Xiuyan Peak and other places. We can only rely on human transportation." Du Ruhui said helplessly.  Since the two roads cannot be connected by brick roads, it is faster to enter Sichuan via the Maming Pavilion-Jian Pavilion. Psychologically, Du Ruhui prefers to enter Sichuan via the plank road, after all, it is much closer.  Yang You looked at the complex topographic map of Sichuan and Sichuan and couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. Road construction was not a day or two, it was a long-term use.  The carriage was running smoothly on the brick road. Suddenly, a big mountain blocked the way. The goods were unloaded and transported there by manpower. Then they were loaded into the carriage and continued moving forward.  So unloading, loading and unloading will directly increase the transportation cost by more than 50%.  If things go on like this, that is an astronomical figure!  What will future generations do when they encounter this situation?  Yang You suddenly had an idea and thought of a way.  "Can we build a brick path from here?" Yang You pointed to a spot on the sand table and said.  Du Ruhui looked around and saw that Yang You was pointing to several small peaks.  "Although the hillside here is gentle, there is no passable road at all. Unless the mountain is penetrated, it will be impossible to pass from here." Du Ruhui explained hurriedly.  Master Yin Shi also smiled knowingly and said to himself: "Although His Highness Dai Wang is smart, he is still young. When he saw some short mountains, he thought those roads were easy to walk. Little did he know that he was totally wrong. It seems that he still needs veterans like them.  Support." Yang You didn't know what Master Yin Shi was thinking. Even if he knew, he smiled. He looked at Du Ruhui in surprise. He didn't expect that Du Ruhui had such advanced thinking and could even think of building a tunnel through the mountain.  "It seems like a good idea to open up the mountain." Yang You said seriously.  In an instant, Du Ruhui, Yin Shishi, and Fang Xuanling were in a mess, and their heads were all covered with black lines. What a crazy idea this would be!  The three of them looked at Yang You in horror.  Opening the mountain, it was a big project. Many dynasties of the dynasties have frowily frowning Sichuan Shu, but they have never thought of passing through the mountain.  "Can't you act on behalf of your highness?" Du Ruhui hurriedly stopped him.    "Is this king just joking?" Yang You laughed dryly.  Yang You certainly knew that it was impossible to build tunnels in this era. Without gunpowder, quick-setting cement, and accurate surveying and mapping instruments, building tunnels would be a recipe for death.  ??It takes a huge amount of manpower and material resources to dig a tunnel. What should you do if you encounter hard rock?  What should you do if there is water seepage from a rock collapse?  It¡¯s just that we were extremely lucky and never encountered any of these things. But without precise measurement instruments, what should we do if the tunnel is deflected?  When the three of them heard that His Highness Dai Wang was really joking, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away their cold sweat, and looked at Yang You with a resentful look.  This time, they were quite frightened. You must know that the Yang family all have genes for great achievements. Yang Guang caused chaos in the world by building a grand canal.  Now that Guanzhong is stable, it is finally possible to unify the world. If His Highness Daiwang goes crazy again and tries to break through a mountain range, that will be fine.  "But we can pass through these mountains without drilling through the mountains." Yang You said confidently.  "Impossible?" Du Ruhui and others looked at Yang You in confusion.  Yang You smiled confidently, picked up an unopened flat knife used to open secret letters, reached out and lightly scratched the sides of the low mountains, then raised the flat knife and gently cut it. The clay figurine Zhang made the sand table.  The soil is special soil with strong plasticity, and a flat knife can easily cut open the clay sculpture.  Under Yang You's skillful operation, a white jade belt soon snaked its way through the mountains, leading to the Chengdu Plain.  "This" Du Ruhui was shocked.  "Why didn't he think of this method? Cut out some gently sloping mountains, avoid tall mountains, and pass through one side of the mountain road. This way, although the road is lengthened, it avoids the pain of climbing over the mountain.  "This way is feasible!" Du Ruhui was pleasantly surprised and walked around excitedly.  He has now become an expert in road construction. At a glance, he knows that the method can be implemented. Carving the mountain from a gentle slope is a huge project, but it is nothing compared to the role it plays.  At this moment, Du Ruhui's thoughts were aroused, and he looked at the surrounding terrain of Guanzhong with lightning eyes. According to this method, the places that were originally thought to be impossible to build roads and needed to be detoured were all smooth roads in Du Ruhui's eyes.  "Your Highness, King Dai, is a genius. From now on, the road will become smooth. Countless people in the world will benefit from this and no longer have to suffer from travel." Fang Xuanling said in shock. He was also shocked by His Highness Dai Wang's unconstrained thoughts.  Yang You's admiration immediately increased. He saw with his own eyes that Yang You opened a new road between the mountains with a single stroke.  If it were improved on the original basis, everyone would be able to accept it, but this kind of groundbreaking thinking from scratch completely convinced the three of them.  Yang You was a little surprised when he looked at the enthusiastic eyes of the three people. He did not expect that his unintentional move would bring such a big shock to the three people.  Yang You enjoyed the admiration of everyone and said: "This road goes around the mountain, let's call it Winding Mountain Highway from now on!" "Pan Mountain Highway!" Du Ruhui nodded, this is a very vivid name.  Master Yinshi looked at the winding mountain road, thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, although the winding mountain road is feasible, it would probably cost a lot compared to building a brick road." Yang You nodded, If the brick road on the flat ground is the ordinary one in later generations.  The brick roads and winding mountain roads are just like the high-speed rails of later generations, and the difference is not a slight difference.  Du Ruhui suddenly frowned. The Disaster Relief Department has never been rich in money. It usually saves time and effort to build brick roads, which is relatively easy.  But when he thought of digging a mountain road between the mountains, such a huge project and consuming so much manpower and material resources, Du Ruhui suddenly had a headache.  "What is General Yin's advice?" Yang You asked.  Since Master Yinshi mentioned this issue, it is obvious that he already has some thoughts in his mind.  Yinshishi smiled proudly and said: "Building the winding mountain road will definitely require a lot of manpower, but there are more than 20,000 people in Fengyi County who cannot be resettled. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to send them to build the road?" (To be continued)
