The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 535 Volume : Kill them all at once!

General Zuo led Fa Zheng to the presence of the present-day Wusun Great Kunmi.

"You have a Han artifact?"

The Great Kunmi of Wusun wore a golden crown on his head and a short coat with bird and animal patterns on it.

After seeing Fa Zheng's miserable face, he was also a little surprised.

Upon asking, it turned out that it was caused by a beating by a fellow Han envoy. The Wusun Great Kunmi was as delighted as General Zuo!

"What's there to return to in the Han Dynasty? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in my country of Wusun?"

The Great Kunmi of Wusun was very generous and directly gave Fa Zheng beautiful women, gold and livestock.

"If you can really make a weapon that can break a city, there will be an even greater reward!"

Fa Zheng expressed his gratitude.

At this time, the Great Kunmi of Wusun also thought of Meng Da: "Cut this man into pieces, leaving no one alive!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do that!"

Fa Zheng stepped forward to stop the Wusun Great Kunmi.

"Why?"

Seeing that the Wusun Great Kunmi was suspicious, Fa Zheng responded improvisationally.

"My king, do you really want to be an enemy of the Han now?"

"Is it not possible?"

The Great Kunmi of Wusun felt irritated when he thought of the Han Dynasty.

"Now, I have assembled 10,000 cavalrymen, led by General Zuo, and are heading to Shule State!"

"If we can kill the Han army, why can't we kill a mere Han envoy?"

The Wusun have suffered from the Han Dynasty for a long time!
Now is the best opportunity to fight against the Han Dynasty, so how can we not try our best?

"No, Your Majesty!"

Fa Zheng blocked it again——

"There are still several stones of gunpowder in the Han army camp! We can easily blow up Shule City!"

"Now that several days have passed, Shule City must have changed hands. Why did the king send soldiers there in vain?"

There is still gunpowder in the Han army camp!

Now Shule City is likely to change hands!
The news brought by Fa Zheng made Wusun Da Kunmi and General Zuo nervous.

And Fa Zheng continued to persuade—

"It's obviously too late to support Shule now."

"In this case, why not wait patiently for me to refine the gunpowder so that we can shock the Han Dynasty and make Wusun invincible!"

The Great Kunmi of Wusun was somewhat hesitant.

Obviously, he still did not want to give up Shule, his ally located at the westernmost end of the Western Regions and controlling the important north-south roads in the Western Regions.

However, General Zuo, who had seen the power of gunpowder, hastily suggested to the Great Kunmi of Wusun: "Compared with gunpowder, what is Shule?"

"Why not let the Han envoy refine gunpowder as soon as possible? This way, we will not only be able to resist the Han Dynasty, but also be able to conquer the Western Regions!"

The Great Kunmi of Wusun clearly looked down upon those poor places in the Western Regions.

"Among the countries in the Western Regions, is Yili as prosperous as it?"

"The Western Regions are certainly not as rich as Ili... But Your Majesty, think about the Kushans in the south!"

The Western Regions are poor, but the Kushans are definitely not poor!

Every year, Kushan merchants brought large amounts of gold and ivory to the Western Regions to conduct business.

If Wusun could become rich and could really snatch the Kushan from the Yuezhi, what a huge empire that would be!
For a moment, the Great Kunmi of Wusun was also a little moved!
"In that case, please refine the gunpowder as soon as possible!"

Fa Zheng also felt relieved when he saw that he had finally delayed the reinforcements from Wusun for Cao Cao.

Next, start your own plan!

According to Guo Jia's description, Fa Zheng found the raw materials for gunpowder, such as charcoal, sulfur, saltpeter, etc.

Saltpeter is very common in the Western Regions, but sulfur is extremely precious. It was the Wusun Great Kunmi who remembered that a caravan from the Parthian Empire had come to Wusun and left some in the treasury, so he took it out and gave it to Fa Zheng to use.

Fa Zheng saw that the amount was not enough, so he urged Wusun people to look for it again.

"That's all!"

Fa Zheng knew that he had to give the other party some sweet benefits before the other party might continue to invest.

Holding a small piece of sulfur, Fa Zheng refined gunpowder and demonstrated it to the Wusun Great Kunmi.

"Although this thing can blow up the city wall, the amount is too small!"

Fa Zheng carefully placed the gunpowder in a bamboo tube, connected a fuse to the outside, and ignited it with a torch!

"boom!"

A soft sound.

There is no such power as rumored to be able to destroy the world.

The Great Kunmi of Wusun was somewhat dissatisfied and looked at General Zuo with suspicion, as if asking: Is this the magic weapon you mentioned that can blow up a city?
But General Zuo was extremely excited: "That's the sound! That's the noise! ​​I definitely couldn't have heard it wrong!"

"This thing can definitely take down a city! But the quantity is still a little scarce!"

General Zuo asked the Great Kunmi of Wusun: "Please make sure to find enough sulfur! Then you will know the power of gunpowder!"

The system of Wusun was similar to that of Xiongnu.

General Zuo holds a high position of power and has his own independent army, so he has a lot of say in Wusun.

Anyway, it was just a little sulfur, so the Wusun Great Kunmi still tried his best to satisfy his request.

General Zuo also continued to reward Fa Zheng: "Please continue to research!"

"Of course!"

Fa Zheng gave an innocent smile.

"It's just that I saw today that the king seemed dissatisfied with the power of gunpowder...so I'm afraid that the king will be disappointed about this."

"Next time when gunpowder is refined, could you please gather all the nobles of Wusun together to observe the power of gunpowder with the king, so as to restore the reputation of gunpowder?"

"Easy to say!"

General Zuo readily agreed to Fa Zheng's conditions!

"We should let them see the true power of gunpowder!"

General Zuo personally found a lot of sulfur for Fa Zheng to refine gunpowder, and Fa Zheng finally refined enough gunpowder.

If you pile all this gunpowder together, it would be enough to fill a stone!
General Zuo followed Fa Zheng's advice and summoned Xiang Dalu, General You, Xi Hou and others from Wusun to hold a provincial meeting together to commemorate the birth of gunpowder on Wusun land!

"Today is the day that our Wusun people will go down in history!"

Fa Zheng took out a bucket of gunpowder and set it off.

"Oh!"

Enough to break metal and stone!

The power this time really made the Wusun nobles very satisfied!
Even the Great Kunmi of Wusun praised Fa Zheng highly and gave him gold and other valuables again!

Other Wusun nobles also sang and danced around the gunpowder!

Fa Zheng gladly accepted the order, and then quietly left the place where everyone was celebrating.

During the process of refining gunpowder, Fa Zheng did not hide anything.

There was just one thing he didn't tell the Wusun nobles -

Gunpowder is extremely easy to detonate, so it is not easy to transport!
Even the slightest friction will instantly develop into a violent roar!

Fa Zheng felt happy as he looked at the pure and flawless sky of Wusun.

"Today is the anniversary of Wusun's death!"

boom!
It seems to be responding to Fa Zheng's voice.

As Fa Zheng left, a loud noise resounded throughout the Wusun Royal City! It was even more terrifying than the noise at the Zhenzhong City wall!
Fa Zheng did not look back.

Because he knew clearly that at this moment in Wusun, all the high-ranking officials, including the Great Kunmi, would not be spared!
