A few months ago, the scouts came with the news that Zhan Erpeng, who had disappeared for many days, suddenly appeared, but he had only been wandering in the army for a few days, and he didn't know where he went.

About Zhan Erpeng, the people in Yin Chen's army are not familiar, Zhan Erpeng is from Guizhou, and he has only heard of this name before, after the defeat of Guizhou, most of the surviving people in Guizhou's guards were compiled to Yunnan to fight the sea of swords, therefore, the information in Yin Chen's hands is limited to Zhan Erpeng, who has been Zhao Yi's personal guard, although he does not lead the troops now, but the prestige of the 100,000 army is still very high.

Therefore, after receiving the information sent by the scout, Yin Chen didn't care too much.

But not long after, the scout came with news that Zhao Yi was testing the gun.

The artillery was tried, this artillery was not an old cannon snatched from them, but made it himself, Zhao Yi created the artillery!

Yin Chen was taken aback, the main reason why the chess army has not been able to play is that they lost in firearms.

Last year, the wind and rain in Sichuan were smooth and the rice and grain were sufficient, but it was the cold spring in the north, which affected the harvest. The military rations of the imperial court have always been insufficient, and the tuntian, which was originally in Hunan and Hubei, has also fallen into the hands of the chess watchers, and now the army of the southern army has even become a problem with rations.

If you let them make artillery again...... Yin Chen's head is big. Back then, Sichuan Gong Wuji was the first to cause trouble, and the Shu Road was difficult, unless it was fought from the inside out, it was difficult for the outside to get in, so at that time, no one would have thought that Gong Wuji was Zhao Yi's person.

It was only now that Yin Chen understood why Zhao Yi wanted to start the first battle in Sichuan, firstly, because the wealth of the land of fish and rice could provide aspects for the subsequent uprisings, and secondly, for the iron ore in Sichuan.

When Gong Wuji was fighting, he did not attack the guards and did not burn the yamen, but robbed the mines first. The battle was just halfway through, and several large mines in Sichuan were his.

Now Zhao Yi has a steady stream of iron ore in his hands, not only can he make armor and weapons, but also wants to make artillery.

Yin Chen was about to do it at that time, but soon news came that the artillery of Guanqi not only failed, but also blew up the workshop where the cannon was made, killing more than a dozen people.

Yin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, if the artillery could be built so easily, how could the imperial court quietly send someone to Wara to buy it?

At this time, the 100,000 quintals of grain and grass promised by the imperial court were only given 30,000 quintals, saying that the war on Zhao You's side was tight, and so much could only be squeezed out at present.

Yin Chen was furious, now Daohai has temporarily withdrawn his troops, the imperial court only has 100,000 troops in the northwest, but his own side is 200,000, and the 200,000 army only gives 30,000 loads of grain and grass, how can this battle be fought?

He was like a mirror in his heart, this was Han Qianchu who wanted to rectify him.

Previously, for Wang Yuejiu's affairs, he connected ten ways to participate in Han Qianchu and Huo Ying, and since then, Huo Ying has never interfered in the war in the south, but Han Qianchu himself is the secretary of the military department, and he can't run away in this matter.

Yin Chen immediately went to the fold again, this time he sent his henchman Wang An to personally send the excerpt to the capital, this time he didn't even ask for grain and grass, the whole fold was to list Han Qianchu's various crimes.

In fact, Yin Chen was just very angry for a while, and within a few days of Wang An's departure, his anger disappeared, and he was really confused, the top priority was to get food and grass, and what was angry with Han Qianchu.

But there is no turning back arrow when he opens the bow, he is a military general, and he is not as smooth as Wenchen, since the excerpt has been sent out, then so be it, you can't send someone to chase the excerpt back.

Besides, he didn't go to Han Qianchu once or twice, the last time he took ten excerpts in one day, that's it, so far away, can Han Qianchu still come here to fight with him? He really wants Han Qianchu to come over, let him see what the soldiers eat and wear, Han Qianchu has also led soldiers, as long as he comes to see with his own eyes, he will understand why he will bite the grain and grass and the matter of pensions and not let go.

But Yin Chen still thought too simply, when Wang An arrived in the capital, he handed over the fold, and the fold would not be sent directly to Zhao Ji, because it was Yin Chen's fold, and it was related to the war in the south, so it naturally fell into the hands of Han Qianchu.

Han Qianchu almost died of anger and was furious.

He directly pressed the fold down.

Wang Bao waited in the capital for more than ten days, and the military department sent someone to tell him that he had allocated 30,000 loads of grain and grass to the army of Zhengnan, and he would set off soon.

Although even five and thirty thousand quintals are not enough, Wang Bao also knows that he can't say anything more at this time, and thirty thousand quintals is better than nothing.

He was called over by the Ministry of War to handle the grain and grass affairs, and asked him to go back with the grain truck.

Wang Bao did not suspect it, every day he either ran to the army department or the household department, and it took another half a month to put the 30,000 loads of grain and grass into practice.

Seeing the grain and grass loaded into the car, Wang Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and realized that he had been delayed in the capital for a month.

And Yin Chen received a letter from Wang Bao and learned that the imperial court had allocated another 30,000 loads of grain and grass, he pouted and said to several deputy generals: "Have you seen it, the surname Han is so cheap, he gave me the 30,000 burdens earlier, why should I bother?"

A few days later, there was another cannon fire from the side of the 100,000 troops. The scout also came with the news that this time the chess test was successful.

Even if Yin Chendang wanted the army to be ready to go, he took advantage of the fact that he had just tried the gun in chess, and he went to kill him by surprise.

He was arranging the deployment in the camp tent, and the overseer Xiao Sihe hurriedly walked in with a few attendants, and said in a shrill voice: "General Yin, the Sprinkle family heard that the 100,000 army has made artillery, why haven't you acted yet?"

Yin Chen is about to annoy this dead eunuch, what kind of stinky problem is this in the Great Zhou Dynasty, since Emperor Taizong, every time there is a war, the people who are sent to supervise the army are either the imperial family or these dead eunuchs, the dog doesn't understand, he will shout, don't you see that the general is deploying?

In fact, this is also his prejudice, everyone who leads troops to fight is unwilling to be criticized, and Xiao Sihe once served as a supervisor of the southwest army, followed Zhao Ji to fight Tatar, has rich experience, and after coming to the southern army, he rarely participated in Yin Chen's war deployment, so Yin Chen was quite satisfied with him.

It's just that he was in a hurry today, Xiao Sihe stepped in and came in, so Yin Chen would be so annoyed.

But it was this annoyance that put him in a dilemma of life and death.

When Xiao Sihe heard that he was going to lead the troops in person, he was very displeased: "General Yin, you are the commander, you should be in charge here." Have you forgotten about General Wang? When the Sprinkle family left Beijing, the Holy Lord and Han Ge repeatedly told you not to act recklessly and fall into the trap of watching thieves. ”

In fact, Yin Chen's subordinates all knew that Han Qianchu must not be mentioned in front of Yin Chen, let alone moved out of Han Qianchu to suppress him.

In fact, if Yin Chen thinks about it carefully, he will perceive the deep meaning of these words, who is Xiao Sihe? That is a eunuch who has followed the emperor from birth to death, this kind of person does not leak, and has seen a big scene, how could he say such a thing?
