"It's amazing, my Hou Ye!"

Returning to the north with the war horse armor and dozens of carts of grain given by Lü Buwei, as soon as he got off the car, Li Ling learned that Chang Yu had been sent to the palace by Lü Buwei to become a eunuch, and Li Ling couldn't help but feel a chill.

I don't know what kind of expression this Zhao Ji will have after seeing Chang Yu who is missing a certain object.

"Are you mistaken? Lose your marbles? All the wheat was poured and fed to the pigs? ”

Before going to Xianyang, Li Ling specially arranged for Huan Qi to build a few more pigpens to raise pigs, and the soldiers were always vegetarians, and their physical fitness was still not as strong as eating meat, plus no one cared about it in the north anyway, no one asked, Li Ling also wanted to use pork to buy people's hearts and recruit troops.

But Li Ling didn't think that he had just come back and saw the soldiers feeding the pigs with wheat, and he was instantly angry.

"My lord, this... That's what pigs are fed. ”

Yang Xiong looked aggrieved, Li Ling entered the northland to implement military reform, and he was directly turned into a company commander, with only more than 300 people in his hands, forget it, and now he is arranged by Huan Qi to feed the pigs, just feed the pigs, but I didn't expect to be directly caught by Li Ling indiscriminately, and I was suffocated to death.

"Niang Xipi, tyrannical Tianzhen! Can't you grind it into flour if it's stumped? ”

"It was indeed ground with a stone mill before, but pigs don't like to eat it, so they don't grind it at all."

"What's that?"

After listening to Yang Xiong's words, Li Ling was so angry that he couldn't even like to eat a pig if flour was such a good thing? Isn't that a joke?

"Come on, go get some chaff for the adults!"

Yes, Li Ling finally knew why no one ate wheat, it was all because of the process problem, these wheats could not be called flour at all after grinding, there were too many impurities in them.

"You find some silk threads, and then weave them into a net, and make them tight enough but not airtight, and make them into a sieve, and filter out all the impurities in them, and feed them to the pigs, and grind the rest again, filter them a few times, and then send them to me."

"How many times do you want to grind?"

"Ground to white, pure white, ground to fine as dust! Got it? ”

"Yes, I understand."

Two days, two full days, Yang Xiong finally delivered the ground flour to Li Ling.

The time was wasted a little long, but the flour that came out was very fine, almost the same as the flour I ate in later generations.

"You go and tell Huan Qi that the wheat must be treated like this in the future, and let him arrange for people to build some mills to increase the output, and try to make sure that every soldier can receive a white flour steamed bun to eat every day!"

Li Ling never imagined that the food problem that had been restricting his development would be solved so easily!

In this era when there is no military salary and even weapons and equipment need to be funded by themselves, the army only has food and shelter, and the common people can only eat vegetarian food at the fourth level a year, joining Li Ling's army can eat white flour steamed buns, and even every few days can eat a meal of meat that only people with knighthoods can eat, how powerful this temptation is.

The Northland, which has never been peaceful, has now set off a wave of joining the army overnight, and countless young and middle-aged people have come to sign up to join the army, and because it is the Northland, every household has horses, so Li Ling has expanded the army this time, and even saved the money to buy horses!

The only fly in the ointment that he felt was the output of ironware, the forging process of the saber was too cumbersome, and the production capacity was extremely limited.

The gap in the saber is huge, so Li Ling can only hold back?

Of course not!

He had another way!

The cavalrymen without sabers were mainly trained in mounted archery, and then he improved the existing long weapons, removing the front spurs and making them directly into spears.

Due to the three-piece equipment of the war horse, the cavalry can completely free their hands, and when there is no saber, the effect of holding Li Ling's improved long hair to charge the group is also very terrifying!

In the past, most of the cavalry operations were long-distance maneuvers, using crossbow arrows to suppress a wave from a distance and then rushing forward to fight, and the frontal battlefield was not particularly useful, especially when the enemy had a large number of chariots, and the cavalry was completely at a disadvantage.

But now with the improved spear equipped, the result will be drastically changed.

The improved spear tip is not a horizontal block after piercing the enemy, which is convenient for directly withdrawing from the enemy's body and will not delay the cavalry's action, and at the same time, the red tassel is added behind the tip of the spear, so that the blood stained with the tip of the spear can drip directly down the red tassel to the ground, instead of sliding all the way down the barrel of the gun, causing the cavalry to be unable to hold the spear.

The combat strength in Li Ling's hands is changing from quantitative to qualitative, and when Li Ling returns to the battlefield, it will inevitably make the world tremble.

On this side, Li Ling concentrated on developing his own strength, and the battle situation in the Central Plains over there also began to undergo subtle changes.

After Lian Po defected to Wei, King Zhao also thought about bringing Lian Po back, but under Guo Kai's obstruction, Lian Po failed to return to Zhao as he wished.

At the same time, the King of Wei did not trust Lian Po at all, and the King of Chu, who had always admired Lian Po, seized the opportunity to take immediate action and sent someone to take Lian Po to the State of Chu as a general.

Without Lian Po in the Wei State, Meng Fu had no fear, and decisively ordered an all-out war against the Wei State!

After nearly a year of stalemate on the battlefield of Youwei, after Meng Fu personally led the troops to fight, the situation immediately underwent a fundamental change, and it took less than ten days for Youwei to be occupied by the Qin army.

Of course, the battle is not over, Meng Fu continued to attack non-stop, which lasted for three months, and broke fifteen cities in Wei in a row!

Seeing that the Qin army was rising again and was sweeping the world, the idea of alliance was once again put forward by Wei, but this time, Wei Yu did not invite Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, to come out of the mountain.

Without Wei Wuji coming out, how easy would it be to form an alliance?

Moreover, as the most powerful Zhao State in the north, it was attacking Yan State with all its might, and it was obviously impossible to use troops against Qin State, so the alliance dragged on and on, and never made substantial progress.

It wasn't until Meng Wei led the army to defeat five cities of Wei one after another, and after capturing twenty cities of Wei one after another, Chu Guochun Shenjun Huang Xie stood up!

Huang Xie first persuaded his Chu State to take the lead in forming an alliance aimed at curbing Qin's annexation of the Central Plains, and then began to travel back and forth to the Central Plains countries, using his incorruptible tongue to lobby various countries!

It was not until this winter that Pang Nuan, the general of Zhao State, wiped out the 200,000 army of Yan State and killed the main general of Yan State, Ji Xin.

In the spring of the following year, the mercenaries of the six allied forces of Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, Chu, and Wei were 1.3 million, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, forming a flanking attack on the Qin State.

The state of Qin is in danger.
