It is not even midsummer now, and it is much earlier than the time when the Huns come to the grass valley in autumn.

Corresponding deployment is not something that can be done with a few commands in a few words. The team of scouts personally led by Chu Hao was just one of the teams sent out. Yesterday he only came to report the news to his boss as a squad leader, and today he must participate in the battle arrangement as a thousand households.

In the General's Mansion, in addition to several powerful figures in Shunyang Pass, several Beijing officials are also there. Of course, they are only observers and do not need to express their opinions. This time, the Beijing officials, who are mainly from the Ministry of Industry, are still self-aware except for a certain surname Zhang surnamed "imperial relatives".

Besides, the relationship between Beijing and Pingxi Wangfu is delicate, and Shunyang Pass is in the west, and now the prince of Pingxi is sitting here, where is their turn to be crooked? General Cao can arrange a seat for them here, it is to give them face, and they will not give face and shame. Thinking of Ruan Bai, who is regarded as his own brother, their swollen faces are still painful, but they don't want to poke a bigger beecomb.

The simple map was spread out, and General Cao personally marked the information collected so far: "100 horsemen here, 500 horsemen here, 300 horsemen here...... Within three hundred miles, the Hun cavalry had now amassed nearly six thousand. According to their usual practice, in no more than half a month, there will be 30,000! ”

Several Beijing officials widened their eyes, incredulous at the final figures. His mouth moved, but he didn't make a sound. According to their thoughts, it is only 6,000 now, how can it become 30,000 in half a month?

The expression of the Jing official fell into the eyes of the generals of Shunyang Pass, and a few straight-tempered ones sneered at the moment, but they didn't speak, at this time they still listened to General Cao, and it was not their turn to interject.

Preparing for a war is a very tedious task. Today's meeting is only a pre-war mobilization for the generals, but it is already the beginning of a war for the reserve military needs.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first.

Grain and grass have never been relaxed for Shunyang Pass at any time.

Some people who know a little about general affairs can also raise money and food on their own, such as Chu Hao; However, most of the border generals are real martial artists, who don't know anything about general affairs, and some ignorant people don't do anything less to drink the blood of soldiers. There is General Cao in Shunyang Pass, and this situation can only be said to be relatively slight, as for other places, it will be hehe.

General Cao thought of last year's situation, and a trace of hideousness flashed on his face: "Mu Qianhu, you lead the troops to give me a good look at the front line of Gaotou Pass and Wunan Pass!" If this year is like last year...... Lao Tzu didn't believe that he had an iron neck in King Yueze! ”

There are many princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are kings like King Pingxi, who are in real power; There are also true and unassuming royal relatives like King Koshizawa!

King Yue Ze is the youngest son of the former emperor, with a timid and cowardly personality, and his own mother was originally just a palace maid; Not long after he was born, the first emperor died, and now he ascends the throne. When he became an adult, Jinshang asked him to pick a fief by himself, and he chose Gaotouguan and Wunanguan to take root, hoping to get as far away from the capital as possible.

These are two small passes, not too far from Shunyang Pass, but compared with the slightly barren Shunyang Pass, Gaotou Pass and Wunan Pass are rich in the northwest, and they are the famous land of fish and rice in the northwest, and they are also one of the first choices for the Huns to grab the list.

However, after the king of Yue Ze came, he did not really encounter the Huns. First, his fiefdom was still some distance away from the pass; Second, this timid prince, every time he hears the wind, he will run to the capital to "visit the royal brother". Of course, it is not okay for the prince to go to Beijing casually, but when he went to Beijing, in addition to the old and young family, he brought a few family members......

Last year, by accident, when the Huns came, this one happened to be sick. The Huns' attack was more ferocious than ever, and when he heard the news, he was almost terminally ill with fright, and he was stunned to intercept the reinforcements of the troops at the two passes, and let them guard him......

Gaotou Pass and Wunan Pass were in danger, and General Cao could only rush over in person to save the decline; However, the vicinity of Shunyang suffered heavy losses......

Tang Yan and the others jumped in their eyelids, if they hadn't heard it here, they would have almost forgotten that there was such a person as King Yue Ze. They are in the capital, and they are not military attachés, and they will not get to the bottom of the battle report and the like. Now even if they heard General Cao's curse on King Yue Ze, they could only go in and out of their left ear and out of their right ear.

Chu Hao rubbed the claw hook of a golden eagle, and said without raising his head: "A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, let alone a prince?" It's better to send him a message as soon as possible. "Isn't love to be sick? When the goods arrive in the capital, let him get sick again, take advantage of the situation to recuperate in the capital, and if he has not been sick for thirty or fifty years, how can he be worthy of the soldiers and people who died at the border?

If he didn't mention it today, he almost forgot that there was such a person. In the words of his second brother, he is not afraid of an opponent like a god, but he is afraid of an opponent like a pig. King Koshizawa is obviously a pig teammate.

General Cao nodded: "Chu Qianhu is reasonable, do it immediately!" "However, they can't disclose the information to King Yue Ze themselves, otherwise they will leak the military information to Yan zhòng. Of course, there is no need for them to make much movement, King Yue Ze has always been very accurate in capturing danger, and I am afraid that after this period of action, this one is already a little panicked. They just need to push it one more......

Mu Feiwen grinned and asked General Cao for his life: "This matter will be left to the end of the future, right?" "It's not easy to fight the Huns, but how hard can it be to scare King Yueze? It's okay to run two laps around the palace with people and horses, and you won't be able to see King Yueze's people the next day. Their soldiers under them now may have run away!

"Good!" General Cao was in a good mood.

Tang Yan and others were in a ...... mood I don't know what to say anymore, so I can only sit in my seat and watch my nose and nose. How could they be so stupid and think that having a place here today is a sign of respect for themselves? This is clearly the dismount!

Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, or I'll pack you up and go to the capital right away-that's what Lao Cao meant. Oh, by the way, there is also a righteous brother who is a dry post, and when the time comes, he will definitely be able to guarantee that they will be sent out of Shunyang Pass as soon as possible, guarantee, certificate, safety, and integrity!

But they are still waiting for the acceptance results, and they are still waiting to be scolded by Ruan Yicheng!

Under the care of Xiao Xizi, the Beijing officials returned to the post station in a trance and asked, "Is Lord Ruan free today?" ”

"Wait a minute, the villain will ask." The guard at the gate saluted and ran.

When Tang Yan and the others entered the post house, a post house immediately took them into the room, and then brought clean water and towels so that they could simply wash their hands and faces; After washing, another cup of tea and a plate of dried tofu as a snack.

When these were all used up, the postman took them to the hall, and Ruan Bai was already there.

"I heard that a few adults are looking for officials, I don't know what happened?" Ruan Bai had a white and tender face, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Tang Yan and the others hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." We talked to Lord Ruan that day, and felt that we were not knowledgeable, and we hoped that Lord Ruan would give us advice. ”

As I said before, Tang Yan and the others are really humble today. There must be an attitude towards learning. Although the person in front of him is a little younger and has a much worse attitude, he is willing to teach people and has real skills, so why can't they lower their posture?

Ruan Bai hurriedly returned the salute: "Several adults have been discouraged. Yesterday, the lower official was reckless, and he had been reprimanded by his brother afterwards. The kid is invisible, and he collided with everyone, and asked a few adults to bear with him. ”

Children are still very polite! Who doesn't have a youthful and vigorous time? It's good to know that mistakes can be corrected!

A few people come and go politely, and the atmosphere is suddenly harmonious, and then the topic is easy to develop, such as the confusion of the teenager and the like.

The young man's attitude was very humble: "The kid just has a problem, and there are just a few adults ......"

The attitude of the adults is also very kind: "Let's talk about it, let's discuss it together." ”

Ruan Bai's problem is actually simple, it is a pressurized water well. He just thought about the washing machine yesterday, and it turned out that washing those sheets and so on was not the most troublesome, but the most time-consuming and laborious thing was carrying water.

Pick up a bucket or two of water, he doesn't feel anything. But when the number goes up, it's different. In these days, there are no plastic buckets, and the buckets are very solid wooden barrels, and just one bucket is quite weighty, plus the weight of the water...... Today his arm is sore.

The principle of pressurized water wells is very simple to Ruan Bai, but now he has to give Tang Yan and other officials of the Ministry of Industry a scientific popularization of pressure.

The problem with Nguyen Bai is that there is no guarantee of sealing. In modern times, a rubber gasket can solve the problem, but in Da Zhou almost he is at a loss......

Tang Yan: "Watering ...... some water"

Ruan Bai: "Ah! ”

Tang Yan was a little apprehensive by Ruan Bai's voice: "That...... I see that Uchiko stores sauerkraut, which is to sprinkle a little water on the mouth of the lid. ”

So, the sauerkraut has been sold to the capital by Hu Shang? Ruan Bai was distracted for a moment, then reacted, and immediately drew his attention back to the pressurized water well, and slapped the table: "The sealing problem is solved, then there will be no problem." ”

This time it was Tang Yan's turn and the others didn't understand. Isn't this question just beginning? Why is it suddenly gone?

Tang Yan and the others suddenly became dead-faced, and followed Ruan Bai, who was so excited that his face was glowing, to the workshop reserved in the bazaar, and he was cheeky to do it. Not to mention, although these officials of the Ministry of Industry are not as skilled as real craftsmen, they all have their own hands.

Soon, a wooden pressurized water well was built. The manhole cover pressed on the wellhead, adjusted it a little or twice, and the pole pressed a few times, and the water came out with a bang. The Beijing officials thought it was amazing, and several people were not small, and they played games together for a while.

As a result, Nguyen Bai's water tank was filled.

"It should be made a little higher, and a pipe directly to the water tank ......"

Tang Yan: Do you dare to speak louder?!

Well, tap water doesn't seem to be possible, and now the water flow is not very large due to the limited materials. Ruan Bai thought for a while: "It should be better to get an iron one." ”

"Iron rusts easily."

"Huh? Isn't there any rust-proof iron? "Stainless steel or something.

Tang Yan: "...... Oiled. "The storage of weapons is tung oil, but if a manhole cover is made of iron, how can it be oiled?

Ruan Bai: "Paint the outside with a layer of paint, just do it!" "Anyway, it's okay if the pressurized water well is a little rusty.

One day to make a scientific and technological achievement, Tang Yan and others in their hearts although there is still a little grievance, but happiness still accounts for the majority, before going to bed to think back, this pressurized well is actually a well to take water a little less effort...... It doesn't seem to be of much use.

Chu Hao went home and found that the well platform had changed, and after learning about the usefulness, he glared at Ruan Bai: "Why are you so lazy?" "Isn't it just a matter of hanging a few buckets of water?

Ruan Bai was not convinced: "That hard-working man hurry up and do housework!" "Believe it or not, he'll get the washing machine out sooner or later?! Then a sweeper qì people or something......
