Han Xingzhao Iron Clothes

People in the rivers and lakes call us Fengyun Shuangjie, and we have been walking around Tianping Pass in recent years.Brother Yang entrusted us to take care of my sister-in-law in secret, and today I found out that the situation is different, so I came here to meet you. "

Zheng Yicheng said, "Brother He and General Tan, it's not suitable to stay here for long, let's talk elsewhere."

Everyone left quickly, only to hear Tan Yue say sullenly, "It's not enough for the murderer to kill Special Envoy Liu, but he also attacked me and Mr. Zheng, it's really vicious!"

After walking a few steps, he saw Lida Khan leading a large group of soldiers.Tan Yue put his hand on the sword, and Zheng Yicheng secretly touched the dagger in his arms, turned his head and looked at Fengyun Shuangjie, but he didn't know where he was.

Lida Khan asked the soldiers to put out the fire, and said to Tan Yue, "General Tan was frightened, and the camp flooded for no reason. This is really an accident. If you don't mind..."

Tan Yue couldn't hold back anymore, and said angrily, "The tragic death of Special Envoy Liu was also an accident, and it was also an accident that we were almost killed in the fire pit. There are many accidents in your country. If Khan really wants to talk about peace, please find out this secret mischief Otherwise, how can we sleep peacefully!"

Zheng Yicheng pulled Tan Yue back, and said to Lida Khan, "General Tan was frightened, and he was in a hurry, so he spoke indiscriminately. I ask Khan not to blame him."

Lida Khan frowned and said, "You two, please calm down. This fire is definitely an accident. The winter is about to enter, and the prairie cannot withstand a little spark. The so-called spark can start a prairie fire. If all the weeds are burned, our family How will the cows and horses survive the winter? The descendants of the prairie cannot intentionally set fire.”

Tan Yue calmed down at this time, he knew that Lida Khan's words were true, if he really wanted to harm people, poisoning, incense, and besieged would be more effective than arson, because he said, "I'm confused, I also ask Khan to forgive me."

Lida Khan was not angry, but said, "I have sent people to set up a new tent, and I asked General Tan to take the others to rest there." Without waiting for their consent, he called a few guards to lead the way, and he But he went near the fire scene to watch the rescue of soldiers.

Tan Yue settled down, and the people who were so depressed couldn't help but say to Zheng Yicheng, "The situation is getting more and more complicated, and this fire is strange, what does Mr. Zheng think?"

Zheng Yicheng said, "Earlier, Yicheng still had doubts about the death of Special Envoy Liu, but now that he was burned by this fire, he became clear. On the same day, accidents happened one after another. Doubt it."

Tan Yue said, "It is true that the prairie is afraid of fire, especially in the dry and rough autumn, when the fire is difficult to control."

Zheng Yicheng said, "If it were placed in other places, the fire might spread all at once. Now this is Wangting, General Tan didn't see how much sand they prepared for fire fighting?"

Tan Yue sighed, "This murderer is not checked, but if he doesn't check, he will die of pain. It's really annoying!"

Zheng Yicheng said, "If someone understands Xi'ao language, it's good to find out and be on guard. Otherwise, you won't know when you are framed. The problem is that only the interpreter can understand Xi'ao language. How do you check?"

Zheng Yicheng had just finished speaking, when Fengyun Shuangjie transferred to the account and said, "Sister-in-law wants to investigate Zuo Xianwang and Ashina, are these two officials from Xi'ao? We both speak Xi'ao."

Zheng Yicheng asked in surprise, "Where did the two brothers hide just now? I didn't realize it."

He Chengfeng asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, do you know how long we have been with you?"

Zheng Yicheng shook his head in embarrassment, "Yicheng never noticed it."

He Chengyun said with a smile, "We put it on on the first day we played."

Tan Yue said, "Mr. Zheng doesn't know kung fu, it's normal that he didn't realize it. The young general has also practiced martial arts for a long time, but he didn't notice the two followers. Such skill is really admirable."

"The two of us will help my sister-in-law to find out, what is the truth? Don't be too polite, Brother Yang and General Tan led the army to beat back the Xiao dog. This is really admirable!" After He Chengfeng finished speaking, he clasped his fists and lost gone.Only Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue were left dumbfounded in the tent.

☆, (18) Breaking through the fog in the daytime - Loyal Dog Gong Gentle Shou Junwen War

([-]) Breaking through the fog in the daytime

When they got up the next day, Tan Yue and Zheng Yicheng couldn't help asking other people who had food poisoning, and asked about the content of the diet in detail, and it was indeed the same as that author said.They also sent people to secretly investigate the cause of the fire, but no one knew.After a hectic morning, Lida Khan and Empress Dowager Wu both sent people to express condolences and asked how to proceed with the peace negotiation.

Although Tan Yue had the official position of Ranger General, but he was originally traveling with the team and was not familiar with diplomatic matters, so it was really reluctant to come out to answer last night as a last resort.Liu Shao's deputy, the master of Honglu Temple, vomited and vomited. He is still lying on the couch and can't get up. We have to wait for his condition to improve before discussing it.

Taking advantage of the vacancy of the Honglu Temple master's training, Fengyun Shuangjie also investigated the matter thoroughly.These two people saw the beginning and the end of the dragon, took an empty space, slipped into the tent, and said to Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue, "Sister-in-law, we have been listening to the wall for most of the night these days, but the more we listen, the more confused we become."

He Chengyun said, "We originally thought Zuo Xianwang was the most suspected suspect, but he wanted his subordinates to investigate the matter thoroughly. I was afraid that our country would not accept Wu Zuo's statement and framed him as the one who did it. He also said that poisoning, Setting fire is not an act of a hero, if he is seen as a treacherous villain, where will he save face?"

He Chengfeng said with a sneer, "After listening to these words, we thought that King Zuoxian had a good name and would not attack Special Envoy Liu. But after peeking at the reaction of Ye Hu called Ashina, we realized that it was not the case thing!"

Zheng Yicheng asked, "What did you two see?"

He Chengyun pretended to be mysterious and said, "That guy, Ashina, was either drinking or shaking in the tent. When he was approached and persuaded, he himself yelled, saying that he found several red spots between the eyebrows of Special Envoy Liu, It was a deadly poison. When the close friend asked him who the murderer was, he woke up with a start, but he refused to say anything, just trembling."

"Sure enough, it's not food poisoning! Guess that Ashina must know the murderer! Maybe it's him, or should someone keep it from him?" Tan Yue stood up excitedly.

He Chengfeng interjected, "The murderer should not be him. He is still holding his head in remorse over there, saying that he should not trust Zuo Xianwang's instigation, which was misunderstood by Rida Khan. The murderer sounds like Zuo Xianwang, but he feels Something is wrong."

"Because Zuo Xianwang is not so frightened by Ashina." Zheng Yicheng said slowly, "I think I probably know who the murderer is."

Everyone asked in unison, "Who is it?"

Zheng Yicheng didn't answer directly, but asked, "If our country decides that King Zuo Xian is the murderer who killed Special Envoy Liu, and ask Xi Ao to punish himself, or hand him over to our country, who will benefit the most? And the identity of the murderer, To actually make Ashina, who is Ye Hu, smack, and dare not speak out."

"Lida Khan!" After Tan Yue replied intuitively, he said, "No! Lida Khan didn't intend to befriend our country, and he showed his friendship repeatedly. How could he do such a thing as killing the envoy?"

"This is the blind spot." Zheng Yicheng said, "We all expected that Rida Khan, the Lord and the Lord, would not take action against the special envoy. If something happened to the special envoy, it must be the problem of Zuo Xianwang." Tan Yue nodded.

Zheng Yicheng said calmly, "The reason for food poisoning is really absurd. If it is reported back to the imperial court, someone will come to re-examine it. If there is no problem found, it can be inferred that it is Ashina's fault; if the problem is found, it will be said It is the poisonous hands of King Zuo Xian."

Tan Yue nodded and said, "No wonder Lida Khan blamed Ashina for panning, so it was to save himself a way out."

Zheng Yicheng said, "The imperial court believed in the theory of food poisoning, which is not the result that Rita Khan would like. So he set our camp on fire and arranged our accommodation with good intentions, which made everyone feel that "the Khan wanted peace, but someone destroyed it." illusion."

He Chengfeng and He Chengyun said in unison, "No wonder we all think that the murderer is King Zuoxian who Lida Khan wants to eradicate!"

Tan Yue also understood when he heard this, he patted his thigh and said, "Ah! That's true, Lida Khan knows that everyone is eager for peace, maybe the court blames him, and he can still make public opinion and ask Zuo Xianwang to sacrifice. In exchange for peace. Or let Ashina Panchou fight Zuo Xianwang, and I will be happy."

He Chengfeng shook his head when he heard that, "We thought Lida Khan had a sincere peace talk, but we didn't expect that he was killing someone with a knife."

Zheng Yicheng sighed softly and said, "After all, we are more serious about seeking peace. And this is just my inference from the motive, and there is no real evidence. Maybe there are other people involved, such as supporting Lida Khan and hating the left. An official of the virtuous king."

He Chengyun patted his chest and said, "Sister-in-law, do you need us to help? It's not difficult at all to find some suspicious poisons from Wang's tent."

Zheng Yicheng hesitated for a moment before responding, "This... I think it's better to forget it."

He Chengfeng was puzzled, "Since Rida Khan's suspicion is serious, why didn't he investigate clearly and let the truth come to light?"

Zheng Yicheng sighed, "Oh, Rita Khan must not have done it himself, and I don't know who did it secretly. And at that time in the camp, the food was tested with silver needles, and there was no discoloration. When did the poison come from? I don’t know. Even if the poison was found in the king’s tent, would the imperial court have the strength to send troops against Xi Ao? Once the fighting resumes, tens of thousands of soldiers will die again, not just envoy Liu alone.”

He Chengyun sighed, "So, we have nothing to do with Lida Khan! It's really depressing."

Tan Yue said, "This matter is beyond our control. We have to wait for the imperial court to send someone to inspect it. The emperor's sage will know whether it is war or peace." Thinking of Liu Shao's tragic death, he said angrily, "I don't want to discuss peace this time. , to be played by Xi Ao in the palm of his hand, really annoying!"

Zheng Yicheng also nodded, and waited for the bodies of the accompanying people to recover, then bid farewell to Lida Khan.After all, Fengyun Shuangjie is from the rivers and lakes, unwilling to be reconciled, he began to follow Rida Khan that night, and disappeared for several days, and then appeared in front of Zheng Yicheng.

He Chengfeng said, "These people are as scheming as ghosts. We went into the king's tent to touch it twice, and followed Lida Khan for a long time, but there was no result. There was only one thing that seemed strange."

He Chengyun went on to say, "Yesterday, the Queen Mother's personal maid accidentally fell off the horse, and she was crying. We thought Rita Khan would definitely go to comfort her, but when he went to find the Queen Mother, he was actually very angry."

He Chengfeng and He Chengyun sang together, "The queen mother doesn't care about Lida Khan's attitude. When talking to him, she pushed everyone away and lowered the volume. We didn't hear anything. We think it must be wrong. It’s so satisfying, so I came here to report to my sister-in-law.”

After Zheng Yicheng listened, he sighed and said, "Alas, from this point of view, Special Envoy Liu should be the queen mother's murderer. The maid should be silenced by the queen mother, and Khan went to Xingshi to question her."

He Chengfeng and He Chengyun said in unison, "It's so!"

Zheng Yicheng said with a wry smile, "The interests of the Khan and the Queen Mother are the same. It doesn't matter who did the murder. It's ridiculous that I was played by the Queen Mother for a long time."

"Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart, they are not good guys anyway."

"It's okay." Although Zheng Yicheng said so in his mouth, he was actually blaming himself in his heart.He bitterly regretted that he was inexperienced and would fall into these superficial traps, putting Shu in a dilemma.

Now that the truth was revealed, everyone didn't want to stay for a while, and hurriedly bid farewell to Khan Lida and returned to Pingtian Pass.Fengyun Shuangjie walked with the team, Zheng Yicheng inquired with words, and found out that the two met Yang Bangjie in the rebellious army when they were young, and later Yang Bangjie followed Huo Zhiping to join the army. Contact Yang Bangjie.When the team was about to return to Pingtian Pass, Zheng Yicheng wanted to invite these two people to meet Yang Bangjie, but He Chengfeng and He Chengyun had long disappeared.

Yang Bangjie waited at Pingtian Pass for a long time, when he heard Zheng Yicheng came back, he greeted him in front of the pass.Seeing that Zheng Yicheng was fine, he didn't shy away from being in front of others, so he hugged him directly, and the two rode back to the tent together.

Linghutu smiled and said, "I'm finally back. The general received the letter, knowing that something happened to Special Envoy Liu, and he was terribly worried. He was out of his mind every day."

Yang Bangjie said in a calm voice, "I didn't expect the Ao Tibetans to do such a thing as killing envoys. What do you think of Zixin?"

Zheng Yicheng told the whole story of the incident, as well as his own inferences, "The Queen Mother planted a murder plan to help Lida Khan eradicate Zuo Xianwang. Once the imperial court raises troops, Lida Khan will be a fisherman. If If they don’t send troops, they really have nothing to lose. The fighting is still difficult to quell during this mission, so Yicheng made a mistake.”

Yang Bangjie comforted him, "This is really beyond our control. Zixin has worked hard for many days, so don't feel guilty."

Linghu Tu stroked his beard and said, "Brother Zixin, why should you be pessimistic? It's just that before the peace talks, you need to help Xi Ao get rid of Zuo Xianwang. It's a pity that Special Envoy Liu sacrificed for this." He added, "If we can find The evidence revealed that Fengsheng and Zuo Xianwang may be able to stir up Xiao's internal conflicts, so that the threat to our country will be greatly reduced."

Zheng Yicheng listened but remained silent, and said for a while, "We are all just speculating, there is no real evidence, and King Zuoxian has always hated our country, if he gains power, the situation in the northwest will be even more severe."

Tan Yue listened for a long time, stretched his waist and said with a smile, "The two gentlemen are right, but what I want most now is to have a good sleep, and this will not disturb the communication between the general and his wife on the bed!"

Yang Bangjie blushed and said angrily, "I thought you would be more prudent when you go on a mission, but I didn't expect you to be so talkative!"

Everyone still left, leaving Zheng Yicheng and Yang Bangjie alone in the general's tent.Yang Bangjie hugged him and kissed him softly and tenderly, making people almost forget that they were in the corner of the battlefield.

Yang Bangjie caressed Zheng Yicheng's face and said softly, "You can see, Zixin. When I heard that Special Envoy Liu was killed, I was so worried about your safety. I felt so remorseful that I would have blocked you from following the envoy if I knew it. You are not a country. Minister, no one will be grateful if things are done well, maybe they will say that you are taking credit, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life."

Zheng Yicheng held Yang Bangjie's hand tightly and said, "Aren't I coming back safely? Thanks to Fengyun Shuangjie's shadowy light on this journey, I can understand the truth of the matter. Although Meng Xuan didn't go with him, he was with him all the way."

Yang Bangjie laughed and said, "Zixin has become more and more talkative because of Zhuo Lun." He added, "Fortunately, I asked them to take care of it secretly in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"How did Meng Xuan know these two masters?"

"They are well-known in Longxiang territory. Although what they do is robbing the rich and helping the poor, they always have a lot of lives in their hands. It's not wrong for the government to arrest them, and it's not wrong if they don't arrest them. Later, General Huo used methods to gather them and let them They kept a low profile, and that’s how they got acquainted.”

"I see."

"Don't talk about them, talk about our business!" Yang Bangjie put his arms around people, sat on the couch together, rubbed his hands in an unruly manner and asked, "Why did Mr. Nanze mention it just now, saying that he sent someone to provoke him?" When you met Khan and Zuo Xianwang, Zixin was not very happy?"

Letting him caress Zheng Yicheng, he said softly, "I also know that splitting Xi'ao can reduce the threat to the northwest of our country. But why are the people of Xi'ao innocent? Thinking about this, I can't help feeling sad."

Yang Bangjie stopped his movements, and said seriously, "Zixin is really kind, if you think about the people of Xi'ao, the people of our country will suffer."

Zheng Yicheng held his hand tightly and said, "I know it too, so I just kept silent."

Yang Bangjie couldn't help sighing, kissed him lightly and said, "If Zixin was born in a governing world, he should be a capable minister. But I'm waiting in a troubled world, so don't force yourself to do any tricks, just live a good life."

"It's inevitable that these things will happen. Yicheng didn't force himself." Zheng Yicheng leaned in his arms and closed his eyes.

Yang Bangjie put his arms around him and said, "I taught you archery before, but after a few days of practice, I was sent to Xiao. When I come back today, I not only want you to practice archery, but also want to teach you some simple martial arts."

Zheng Yicheng shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that if I slashed at someone with a knife, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage at all?"

Yang Bangjie sighed and said, "I have thought a lot about Liu Te's actions. Although I don't want to be separated from you for a moment, but according to your temperament, there must be many opportunities to run around in the future. I don't know when this troubled world will end. Learn some martial arts to defend yourself It's good too."

Zheng Yicheng said with a smile, "Learning the kung fu of those three-legged cats is useless when you meet a master. It's better to read more books to be serious."

"Don't blame me for stopping you from doing dangerous things after that day."

"Meng Xuan has also learned badly, to force people like this, I just learn."

☆, (19) Opening up wasteland in the Northwest Mu - Loyal Dog Gong Wenrou Shou Junwen War

([-]) Land reclamation of northwest acres

When Liu Shao was killed, the imperial court was really furious, but it did not order Yang Bang to dispatch troops for a long time, but only asked him to send Liu Shao back to the capital for an autopsy.Seeing that the situation was unclear, Yang Bangjie had no choice but to strengthen the defense work, and it was necessary to send soldiers to repair the city wall, dig trenches, rush to manufacture artillery carts, bed crossbows and other defensive tools, and took time to teach Zheng Yicheng basic self-defense fists and feet.

Zheng Yicheng practiced rather reluctantly, and would find excuses to slip away every day, or said that he wanted to enter the customs to buy books, or that he wanted to inspect the terrain.Even the various crossbows that Yang Bangjie found for him were dismantled into parts by him and piled up in the corner of the camp.

Yang Bangjie himself was busy, there was nothing he could do about it, so he had to send four personal soldiers to act as Zheng Yicheng's guards, and let him patrol the pass.Zheng Yicheng took advantage of Yang Bangjie's spare time to search for a few newly purchased books, "I've been inspecting the customs for the past few days, and I'm a little confused."

"What doubts?" Yang Bangjie originally thought that Zheng Yicheng was looking for an excuse to escape, but he didn't want to really find something for him.

Zheng Yicheng said, "It is reasonable to say that most of the border areas will be garrisoned, so as to save the cost of transporting grain from Guanzhong; secondly, the soldiers will not have to wait in vain during the defense."

When Yang Bangjie heard that it was a serious matter, he straightened his expression and said, "I don't know much about this. May I ask Mr. Nanze to discuss it together?" Yang Bangjie said, and immediately sent someone to invite Linghutu to discuss the matter.

After listening to Zheng Yicheng's doubts, Linghu Tu replied slowly, "During the Daxuan Dynasty, the farmland was implemented, but after Xiao entered the customs, the frontier was repeatedly attacked by soldiers, and most of the farm tools were damaged. In addition, the war continued, the border people were scattered, and the farmland was barren. , so no one mentioned the matter of garrisoning fields. Brother Zixin thinks that our army can carry out garrisoning fields?"

Zheng Yicheng nodded slightly, "Exactly. If Dashu really negotiates peace with Xiao and the war ends, what if the people won't return?"

Linghutu said, "I've thought about this problem before, but because the terrain in this area is relatively high and it's far away from the water source, I don't know how to carry out the farming in the first place."

"Yicheng also noticed these two problems. Thinking that keel waterwheels are often used for irrigation in his hometown, he looked up some books. Sir, please read the description of "High Drum Wheels." Zheng Yicheng handed the newly purchased book to him. , and turn to the marked page.Yang Bangjie came over and looked at the picture in Linghutu's hand.

Zheng Yicheng recited the text in the book, "Set up two runners at the edge of the field and at the water source, connect them with flat-bottomed troughs, connect multiple water cylinders with ropes in the middle, and fix the bottom of the cylinders with wooden boards and iron wires to make them run in the horizontal troughs. Turning the upper wheel by pedaling or animal power can drive the cable. This method can solve the problem of remote water sources and high terrain.”

"It seems that this method is feasible." Yang Bangjie said with a smile, "Zixin has been inspecting for a long time, and he must have even decided on the land for reclamation."

"Meng Xuan really knows me! I asked the local elders, and I learned that most of the original farming sites were located along the tributaries of the Moliang River. I have actually surveyed these sites. The land is flat, and they are all official farms. Come to settle down." Zheng Yicheng said as he pulled out another map, on which several locations were marked with red ink.

Yang Bangjie clapped the case and said, "This is very good! We can use the winter to make some high-drum carts to solve the water source problem when farming. Recently, we have made cannon carts and bed crossbows. The sons and daughters have cut a lot of wood, and set aside a small part for production. It should be enough. .”

"In addition to the waterwheel, we also need to make some farming implements. The general can follow this picture to make a "curved plow" for use in farming." Zheng Yicheng took out the "Lei Si Jing" from the booklet, and turned to the marked page.

After reading these pictures, Linghu Tu stroked his beard and said, "It's feasible, but we don't know when Xi Ao will attack. Manpower and material resources are limited, so we need to arrange the city defense."

"Of course." Yang Bangjie said with a smile, "If Mr. Nanze also thinks this is feasible, I will assign people immediately."

Yang Bangjie sent someone to pass Li Chun over, and Zheng Yicheng explained to him in detail.Li Chun, who was born in a farming family, knew everything about it. He nodded and said, "This is very good. This young general with a curved plow is widely used in his hometown. I see that the people in the northwest still use the traditional long straight plow for farming, waiting for the craftsmen to make the finished product. and send some brothers to teach the people how to use it.”

"Once you have a field, you don't have to worry about food. The general can also recruit refugees, distribute farm tools, and teach martial arts. One is to prepare for war, and the other is to open the border."

Yang Bangjie and Zheng Yicheng couldn't stop nodding their heads in agreement, Linghutu just stroked his beard beside him without saying a word.Everyone discussed again, and then they dispersed.The next day, Li Chun indeed led the soldiers to make farm tools. The soldiers knew that they were used to farm the fields in the spring, and they were quite happy to farm the fields when they thought of the times when the grain shipments in the pass were unsustainable and everyone had to starve for several days.

For a while, the sound of fortifications in the camp was endless, and Yang Bangjie and Zheng Yicheng also devoted a lot of attention to it.The city defense equipment such as bed crossbows and artillery carts were first produced, and everyone tried firing them in the camp.Zheng Yicheng watched the cannon launch, but used the force of several soldiers to press down together, and used the principle of balance to shoot out the boulder. There were often cases of inconsistent actions. After thinking for half a month, he proposed that the cannon launch should use The method of suppressing heavy objects is also designed with a hook to assist.The power of this test was much better than the original throwing method, Yang Bangjie valued Zheng Yicheng more and more.

Zheng Yicheng saw that the improvement of the gun carriage was effective, and his interest in these equipment was also aroused. He fiddled with the parts of the crossbow for several days, and stayed with the craftsmen for several days.Then he took Yang Bangjie to the shooting range, took a crossbow that looked like a Fuyuan crossbow, stuffed it into Yang Bangjie's hand and said with a smile, "Meng Xuan try this."

"Isn't this the Fuyuan crossbow? It's not lighter than the arm-stretching crossbow..." Yang Bangjie took the crossbow from Zheng Yicheng's hand, but his eyes widened. Although the crossbow was huge, it was not as bulky as imagined.

Zheng Yicheng pushed Yang Bangjie, asked him to try shooting and said, "The Fuyuan crossbow has 230 steps for the vertical arrow and [-] steps for the arm tension crossbow. It's just that the Fuyuan crossbow is heavy and heavy and cannot be operated by a single person. But if it has the same weight as the arm tension crossbow, Then it can be used by one soldier. Meng Xuan tried it, it was made by stepping Zhang, in fact, I just improved it according to the picture, and I haven’t operated it myself.”

Yang Bangjie took a distance of [-] steps, stepped on the string, and took up the crossbow to test fire.Feather arrows are really strong and powerful, and they can break the feathers.Yang Bangjie hugged Zheng Yicheng tightly and said with great joy, "Your martial arts on paper are not ordinary, and you can't usually step on a crossbow with such power! How did you buy these books for you in Yanzhou?"

Zheng Yicheng said with a smile, "there are so many books in the book shop! The rich families took refuge far away, sold cheaply at home, and stolen by servants. Those Buddhist scriptures are not uncommon, and even many copies of secret collections have been sold out. Qian, look at this."

Yang Bangjie saw Zheng Yicheng took out a thin manuscript from his arms, the corners of which were worn torn, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Zheng Yicheng opened the front of the volume, handed it to Yang Bangjie and said with a smile, "Li Quan's "Taibai Yin Jing", it contains: people's plan, planning, siege, war equipment, camp, and formation map, do you think it is a treasure? "

Yang Bangjie's eyes lit up when he heard it, "It's indeed a precious book. It usually writes about the art of war. Few people talk about war equipment, camps, and formation maps. How could I not know this book?"

"I put this book on your case for ten days, and I didn't see you flipping through it, so I took it out." Zheng Yicheng said that Yang Bangjie looked embarrassed.But this is no wonder to him, there are only a small number of people in the army who can read and write, and it is even more commendable that Yang Bangjie can write with a pen and read some art of war.But for these Qiu Ba to take the initiative to read books, it would be more fun to let them pick up guns and go to the battlefield.

As Zheng Yicheng said, he still put the book in his arms, "I'll talk to you carefully when I get back. Let me talk about the usage of this crossbow first. Is there a sentence in "Sun Tzu's Art of War"? crossbow, to help those in need.””

"There is this sentence."

"I didn't understand why the word "flowing crossbow" was used. After reading the book, I realized that the so-called "flowing crossbow" means that the crossbowmen are divided into three teams. , just like running water, flowing continuously and continuously.”

Yang Bangjie understood as soon as he heard it, and he patted Zheng Yicheng on the shoulder vigorously and said, "If it can be implemented like this, the use of crossbow arrows will be greatly increased! Zixin, your improvements and suggestions are probably more clever than Zhuge Wuhou. I will find someone to try it immediately try!"

Zheng Yicheng smiled lightly, "The idea of ​​dividing into three teams is obviously very simple, but it's strange that I remind you!"

Yang Bangjie scratched his head and said, "We all watched how our seniors set up formations, so we followed suit, but it was difficult to make breakthroughs. You are an outsider, so you can see clearly. Did you only make one crossbow machine? Do you have a name?"

"It's only in the experimental stage. Of course, only one has been made, and the name hasn't been named yet! Meng Xuan wants to name it?"

Yang Bangjie pondered and said, "Let's call it the 'God Arm Crossbow'! It is so heavy but has such a range and strength, it is naturally a god arm. I will immediately ask the craftsmen to make this god arm crossbow, and then practice it according to the method you said. I believe it. Our army's combat power will definitely be greatly improved!"

The two talked excitedly, and they sent soldiers to make the god arm crossbow and practice according to law.Everyone saw the power of the divine arm crossbow, and knew that Zheng Yicheng proposed the method of performing this exercise, so they put away their contempt for him and respected him more and more.

It was snowing and cold that night, Yang Bangjie hugged Zheng Yicheng and gossiped by the fireside, and it was inevitable that he would catch fire after dawdling for a long time. Yang Bangjie pressed the man on the carpet, took off his obscene clothes and trousers, and was about to move when he heard soldiers in the tent. Shouted outside, "General Qi, General Zhongwu is visiting."

The two got up quickly, and before they had time to put on their coats, the curtain was lifted, and the wind and snow blew in along the gap, drawing in a gust of cold wind.Hearing a clear voice laughing, "Oh! It was my recklessness that spoiled Meng Xuan's good deed."

Yang Bangjie protected Zheng Yicheng with his body, as if he was afraid that his treasure would be seen.He frowned and said, "You know how to be reckless, so turn around."

"It's a pity that I came here in the wind and snow, and you treated me like this." Wang Li turned around with a smile, and took off his fox fur and sword by the way.

Yang Bangjie asked while getting dressed, "Are you leaving Qianyue Pass like this, are you not afraid of being blamed for leaving the station without authorization?"

"You think I'm happy to go out in the heavy snow, don't you want to be happy in the tent with your arms around a beauty? There's just one thing I have to tell you face to face." Wang Li watched Yang Bangjie help Zheng Yicheng dress from the corner of his eye, always Some unspeakable taste.

Yang Bangjie asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Li forced himself to turn around, looked at the beautiful and intertwined patterns on the wall covering, and said, "You know, there is a lot of noise in the court, and you are free here."

([-]) The need to measure the battle

"Do you know that there is a lot of noise in the court, and you are free here."

Yang Bangjie was busy getting dressed, so he didn't notice Wang Li's movements at all, because he asked, "What's the noise? I'm busy here, and you came just in time. I'll ask Zixin to draw the city defense, crossbow machine, and farm tools that are currently being made. for you."

"Isn't it just a matter of making peace with Xi Ao?" Wang Li couldn't help hearing the rustling of his clothes, "Can I turn around?"

"Okay." Yang Bangjie and Zheng Yicheng finally got dressed, and met Wang Li with red ears.

Wang Li cupped his hands towards Zheng Yicheng and said with a smile, "My younger brother interrupted Meng Xuan and sister-in-law's good business, please don't blame me for sister-in-law."

Zheng Yicheng was embarrassed by what he said, so he bowed his hands and said in return, "You should call me Zixin, General!"

Wang Li said with a smile on his face, "The title of this sister-in-law was decided by Meng Xuan himself, and I dare not change it without permission."

Yang Bangjie ordered his soldiers to bring some food and wine, and ordered a bowl of ginger soup, handed it to Wang Li Chihan himself and said, "Shuhan, what important things do you have to say, you have to do bad things in the middle of the night."

Wang Li took the ginger soup, took a sip slowly, and felt his internal organs warmed up. He lowered his voice and said, "The letter my father sent me, didn't my sister-in-law and General Tan go to see the Queen Mother of Xiao?"

"For Chen's sake, I have indeed met." Zheng Yicheng nodded, knowing that there must be something wrong with Wang Li asking such a question.

Wang Li drank a few sips of ginger soup, put the bowl aside, and began to think for himself, "Now that Special Envoy Liu has died, it's because of war or endless disputes with the imperial court. There are two main factions, one believes that King Zuo Xian has a lot to do with it; It is believed to be the hands of Rida Khan or the Queen Mother."

Yang Bangjie questioned Zheng Yicheng with his eyes, wondering if he should tell Wang Li the truth.Zheng Yicheng secretly wrote the word "slow" on Yang Bangjie's palm with his fingers. After all, although the Huo family and the Wang family are allies, they are not a family after all.

Just listen to Wang Li continue to say, "Just because when Special Envoy Liu died, my sister-in-law and General Tan were not there, someone insisted that you were colluding with foreign enemies, so everyone was poisoned and the two were spared."

Yang Bangjie's face was ashen, and he said in a calm voice, "Where did you start? Zixin and Zhuo Lun took the risk to persuade the Queen Mother to negotiate a peace. This is why Special Envoy Liu is well aware of this matter. How could it be said that they were colluding with foreign enemies?"

Wang Li shook his head and sighed, "It's not that Fang Xiang wanted to take this opportunity to attack General Huo, and secretly ordered the officials to write a letter. Fortunately, the emperor was wise, and General Huo and my father strongly recommended this to be fine, otherwise even Meng Xuan and his father I'm in the way too."

"Why are those villains yelling?" Yang Bangjie was so angry that his neck was red, and Zheng Yicheng held his hand tightly so that he didn't get angry.

Wang Li stared at Zheng Yicheng's white jade-like hand resting on Yang Bangjie's palm, took another drink and said, "Those villains say, 'For generals, just fight the war, don't care about winning but only want peace talks.' You say Are you angry?"

Yang Bangjie jumped at the case, "This group of villains! You and I only have [-] soldiers and horses. After deducting the logistics troops, there are only more than [-] people who can fight. We have to guard two fortresses. How can we fight the Xi'ao army head-on? If you give me a hundred thousand troops, I don’t have to hide in Pingtian Pass! The country is in trouble, these people don’t want to save the country, but instead wait for the opportunity to hinder it, it’s really chilling.”

"The emperor also knew that you and I were in a difficult situation, but he scolded those villains. My father mentioned in the letter that the envoy sent again this time is the newly appointed young minister of Honglu Temple, Chen Yao, who is the Minister of Rites Zhou Yunfu. His disciples are our people, you and I should try our best to help them, so as not to make Xiang Fang troublesome."

Yang Bangjie calmed down and asked, "So the emperor still wants to talk about peace?"

"It's not about wanting to, but about our country's current inability to fight on two fronts."

Wang Li sighed, filled the wine glasses of the three of them, and said angrily, "Even if it is really the murderous hands of Lida Khan or King Zuoxian, we still have to pretend that Special Envoy Liu died accidentally, and Xiang Ao Tibetans I just want a few more war horses. This kind of uselessness! Sooner or later, I will wait for General Huo to calm down Nanyak before asking for it back!"

Yang Bangjie patted Wang Li on the shoulder, and couldn't help sighing. The three of them had a drink together.

That night Wang Li slept in Yang Bangjie's tent with his clothes on, and the next morning he listened to Zheng Yicheng's explanation of the garrison of the fields and the improvement of artillery vehicles and crossbows.He had a bit of contempt for Zheng Yicheng, after listening to his explanation of how to use the new gun carriage and the god-armed crossbow, and seeing the power of the soldiers in actual practice, he was full of praise and clamored to make the same when he went back to Qianyue Pass.

After staying until the afternoon, Wang Li bid farewell in a hurry. Yang Bangjie knew that he was worried about going to Qianyue Pass, so he didn't force him to stay.In gratitude to Wang Li, Yang Bangjie made a special trip to inform the court, but Yang Bangjie sent him ten li all the way before returning to the camp.

After Yang Bangjie sent Wang Li away and returned to the tent, Zheng Yicheng looked unhappy and said, "Meng Xuan
