The messenger was still wearing chain mail, exuding the smell of gunpowder smoke and earth, knelt on the ground, waited for a while, and found that no one paid attention to him, he boldly raised his head, looked at the master of ceremonies and eunuchs, full of help.

"Ahem, Your Highness, I'm overjoyed. ”

As soon as the master of ceremonies and eunuchs spoke, everyone reacted, and before Sima Shu could speak, Wang Dun had already jumped up and shouted loudly: "Impossible, this is impossible, the new army of the Taishi is only 10,000 people, how can it be possible to fight more than 100,000 people, and lie about the military situation, that is to kill the head." ”

Sima Shu also looked at the messenger, his eyes full of inquiry.

The envoy is neither humble nor arrogant, "It is true, the Taishi has now been stationed in Chang'an, and is sending people to take over the nearby states and counties, and the two kings have more than 100,000 people, and the Taishi does not dare to deal with it privately, so he specially sent an official to report it, and the other is to ask His Highness to indicate how to deal with it." If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Chang'an to inquire. ”

"Good, good, very good. ”

Sima Shu stood up excitedly and walked back and forth, "Taishi is really the humerus minister given by God to Gu, the hope of Zhongxing in the Great Jin Dynasty, you tell Gu, how did Taishi break 100,000 enemy troops?"

"Ahem, Your Highness, let's first talk about the news of the annihilation of the Taishi army just now. ”

Zhang Xiaoming woke up Sima Shu appropriately, this moment is the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and he can't let it go, Sima Shu remembered what his cousin said just now, and looked up, at this time, the ministers of the family faction were all shrunk in the corner like quails in the rain and looked down to study their shoes, without saying a word, and Sima Rui and Wang Xizhi had long since disappeared, presumably slipping away.

"As far as the minister knows, at that time, the Taishi arranged for the king of Langya and the right general to move to the rear army, and the Taishi personally led the army to fight, it should have lost contact in the battle, and the news transmission was flawed, so that the rear army thought that the front line was defeated, and the subordinates retreated first for the safety of the two main generals. ”

Xie An, who has been silent, stood up, the Xie family has many children in the army, so they can get more information, it is likely that they have already known the real results, but they can't bear it, Zhang Xiaoming and Li Lan, two political rookies, have lamented each other's cunning and cunning, so simply brought over what happened just now.

As soon as Xie An's words came out, the officials of the other families found excuses and echoed them, and led the topic to how to deal with the surrendered army and how to reward the meritorious heroes.

Just when Luoyang was discussing how to deal with the surrender of Chang'an, another news came that shocked everyone's jaws, and Lord Taishi executed most of the surrendered officers, and Weishui was dyed red.

The army of King Changsha of Chengdu was quite honest, Yang Pingfan asked them to be stationed outside Chang'an City, and he took the new army into the city to maintain order and restore people's livelihood, but he didn't know that the undercurrent was surging under the calm.

Although the illiterate soldiers were fooled, the officers were not stupid, seeing that the Luoyang New Army only had 10,000 men, their spirits were full of immaturity, although they carried things that could breathe fire, which looked terrifying, but a large sum of silver and wine were spilled out, and they soon knew the secret of the musket.

Knowing the secret, getting a few muskets, and knowing its power, most of the officers who surrendered to the army were not convinced!

Follow the ambition to grow savagely like a weed in spring, why should Lao Tzu's 100,000 people surrender to you 10,000 people, it's better to do the opposite, and then wave your army to the east and take Luoyang......

The officers who were turned into slaves served these officers, and the officers who surrendered to the army thought that these blonde and blue-eyed Hu people did not understand Chinese, but they did not know that the people stopped in their ears, and when they were rescued by cattle and sheep, they immediately told the news to Niu Yi Yang, and Niu Yi Yang told the Taishi......

By the time Yang Pingfan knew, the officers who had surrendered had already completed the contact and were ready to attack Chang'an City, but it was too late to defend, and the 10,000 new troops could not hold Chang'an, so Yang Pingfan decided to use his own way.

Master Taishi sent someone to tell the officers who surrendered that he was going to feast on them by the Weishui River, and the officers were overjoyed when they heard this, and the only thing they were afraid of was the unpredictable means of the Taishi, but they didn't expect that they would actually send it to the door, and they didn't doubt him, so they agreed to come down.

At the appointed date, Yang Pingfan took the death squad selected from the new army, most of which were the slaves of the Qianren who were rescued by him, and the people had clear grievances and grievances, and were grateful to Yang Pingfan for rescuing him, and at the same time were full of hatred for these officers who abused them, and drove ten carts of fine wine and beef and mutton to the Weishui River.

Decades later, Zu Ti was old and weak, lying on the bed, still remembering the scene of that day, and said to his children and grandchildren, "Hehe, Master Taishi cast heavenly punishment, Weishui flowed backwards, lightning and thunder, five thunders thundered, fire burned the plain, 100,000 people, and no one dared to rebel, hehe, hehe." ”

When the news came out, Luoyang was silent, Yang Pingfan couldn't wait for the next news, so he could only be the commander and leader of the military region in Chang'an, and divided the 100,000 troops into two parts, one part was stationed in Guanzhong, and the other part was led by himself, and the new army was stationed in the city, and some of the officers were promoted from the original non-commissioned officers, and some were drawn from the new army.

Niu and a sheep performed well in a series of actions, Yang Pingfan directly promoted him to the captain, the name of a sheep is too earthy, Yang Pingfan removed the last two words, leaving the word one, since then Niu a sheep changed his name to Niu Yi, and served as the captain of the new army musket.

A month later, Luoyang also gave a way to deal with it, asking Yang Pingfan to return to Luoyang with 50,000 troops and a new army, while a group of military and political officials from Luoyang took over Chang'an and nearby prefectures and counties.

These officials handed over affairs to him, all of them cowered, no one dared to look directly at Yang Pingfan, Yang Pingfan didn't care, and didn't even pay attention to remember their names, just by listening to their surnames, they knew which family they belonged to, and a month was the time to divide the spoils, and in the end they were still making wedding dresses for people.

He didn't know that it was his bloody methods that scared everyone.

Sima Shu personally went to Luoyang City to meet Yang Pingfan, the family also poured out, the ceremony was very grand, sacrificing heaven and earth, Sima Shu personally led Yang Pingfan into his royal car, the musician played Shao music, no one mentioned a word about Yang Pingfan's cleaning of the surrendered officers, and then announced the reward. Feng Dajin conquered the general, entered the Jue to conquer Xibo, rewarded 1,000 taels of gold, 64 slaves, and gave Xibo Mansion.

After a day of red tape, Yang Pingfan finally returned to his house, and an additional sign for conquering Xibo had been added to the plaque of Taishi's Mansion, and Xiaoliu jumped on him at once.

"It looks like it's heavy again. Yang Pingfan pinched the flesh of Xiao Liu's hand and sighed.

Li Lan looked at him with a smile on the side, "Congratulations to the general on his victory." ”

Yang Pingfan was excited, "It's not interesting, it's the same as opening a full-picture cheat." ”

"That being said, the families are stumbling again. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Li Lan walked up to Yang Pingfan's side and took off the armor on his body, "Our strength is still too small, and after taking such a big credit, the peaches have been picked by others."

It stands to reason that if you take the city of Chang'an, subdue 100,000 surrendered troops, and kill the two kings, you will have to be a marquis, but those officials of the sub-family have dropped their book bags and said that most of the world is not peaceful, and there are many places that need a master, so you will be a marquis now, and you won't know how to seal it in the future, so I only gave you an earl. ”

Yang Pingfan shook his head, "I don't care what title I get, the key is what the hell is this Zhengyi general?"

Li Lan smiled, "You have to ask Xiao Ming about this, it's the name he helped you think." ”

Zhang Xiaoming was triumphant, "It's nothing, as far as the performance of Sima Rui and Wang Xizhi is concerned, no one dares to compete with you for the position of general, the key is the name, there is a general in Japan, and I think that your opponent in the future will also be Yiren, so ......"

——

Sima Shu annihilated the power of the king of Chengdu like a withered and decayed state, the southern states and counties surrendered, the world was ten, and the news that Sima Shu had six points came out, and the world was shaken.

Liu Yuan in the north further strengthened his strength, completely overthrew the king of the East China Sea, gave him the title of Taifu in the name of Emperor Hui of Jin, and put him under house arrest in the palace.

Then in the old Zhao land, 100,000 soldiers were forcibly recruited, almost swept away the men over 14 years old, and even the sturdy women were not spared, and they were incorporated into the army, led by the clan Liu Yao, and he and his son Liu Cong personally led the five Xiongnu divisions, and the soldiers went south in three ways, approaching Luoyang, preparing to directly strangle Sima Shu's forces, and not give him a chance to develop slowly.

After the Battle of Chang'an, Zhang Xiaoming's workshop was further expanded, chimneys were erected everywhere in the Guanzhong Plain, thick smoke was billowing out, and the standard swords, armor, and bows and crossbows processed by large machine tools went down the line like water and entered the army.

The reason why cold weapons are still produced in large quantities is because it is unrealistic for the whole army to be equipped with firearms in a short period of time, and the gunpowder materials are a complete chemical system, which is not so easy to establish, so most of the troops under Sima Shu's power are still equipped with swords and bows and crossbows, and only poor soldiers who have been carefully selected and selected from the displaced people can enter the firearms battalion.

Zhang Xiaoming stood in front of a construction site, looking into the distance, only to see hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of coolies were busy in an orderly manner, looking from a distance, like a group of hard-working worker ants.

In front of me is a huge piece of equipment, and the general framework has been formed, a huge main frame made of tanned bamboo skin, and the surface is repeatedly covered with silk brushed with tung oil, which is colorful.

Farther away, a dozen craftsmen are debugging a fire-breathing stove, and from the air, what the construction site has assembled has taken on the form of a gigantic airship.

Zhang Xiaoming stood on the high platform, looking at the airship open space in front of him, and thought to himself, "What should I call punk? steampunk, silk punk, bamboo punk?"

"My lord, it's time to eat. ”

There was a delicate voice behind him, it was Murong Xue'e who brought him food.

I saw her spread out a tarpaulin on the ground, opened the food box, and there were a variety of exquisite dishes, Zhang Xiaoming had adapted to the taste of this era, gobbling it up, Xue'e sat down next to him, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it on his face.

Murong Xue'e looked at the prototype of the airship in the distance, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, this flying ...... Can airships really fly?"

"Of course, I copied the drawings...... After careful calculations, gravity is strictly controlled, the furnace has also been transformed, enough to provide the buoyancy required for lift, and the sealing has been verified, and soon we will have an air force, although the protection is zero, but in this era there is no air defense awareness, no air defense weapons, we are invincible. ”
