Chapter 267: Stratagem

Since the emperor has issued a holy decree, it is natural that he will also announce it to the world.

Thereupon......

During his time in the Northeast, Duan Bailan, the king of Ding, discovered the iron ore, and the emperor ordered the king of Dingwang to lead the team to mine it.

As soon as this news came out, the people all said that it was a blessing for the country to have such a king, and it was able to find the scarce iron ore in the country......

The people loved this king more and more, but this made the emperor's sense of crisis more and more serious, thinking that after the iron ore was mined, Duan Bailan must be buried without a place to die.

The higher the voice of Duan Bailan among the people, the more the emperor's disgust with this prince of the opposite sex was aggravated, and he always felt that this person was coming to seize his throne. Maybe...... Is this a common problem of the emperor? We must not see any human rights being too powerful and too loud. I'm afraid I don't have paranoia about being killed.

But what His Majesty the Emperor didn't know was that his behavior of treating Duan Bailan like this and wanting to put Duan Bailan to death might be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Maybe...... Duan Bailan really wanted to rebel in the end, because of the ignorance of this emperor.

Duan Bailan's side.

I wrote a letter just to show my attitude, but I didn't honestly wait for the Holy Decree to come and then mine, and when the Holy Decree arrived in the Northeast, the dark iron ore was in full swing.

Liu Nianru took the holy decree lightly, and sent away the father-in-law who came to deliver the holy decree in a few words, causing the father-in-law to turn back frequently when he left, and the unkindness in his eyes was extremely obvious.

Liu Nianru only sneered, ignoring him, not caring about this person's attitude at all, anyway, these people are now far away in the northeast, and the emperor still relies on them to mine the iron ore, at least before the mining of the iron ore is completed, the emperor who is far away in Beijing will not start easily. Even if the little eunuch went back and said something, it would only increase the emperor's troubles, and it would be of no practical use.

"Miss Liu, are you giving a lecture today?" Yao Jing asked, in recent days, Liu Nianru has been giving them things about new weapons, including how to use them, which is very novel to them.

"No, I'm going to try to build it." Liu Nianru said, this job is not something anyone can do, Liu Nianru called the blacksmiths in the people, and also found some soldiers who had been engaged in related work in the Northern Army before, and asked them to watch from the sidelines, so that they could learn the creation of new weapons.

In this way, you can relieve yourself a lot of pressure, although the design drawings Liu Nianru has been drawn very finely, but after all, it is not a thing of this era, so there are some places they can't understand, they can only demonstrate in person, and then correct them one by one.

After successfully creating some weapons, Liu Nianru asked them to come up one by one to try, correcting one action after another, so as to make every stage perfect, only in this way can a good weapon be created. If you are lazy now, you may lose your life on the battlefield.

Because of Liu Nianru's guidance, and it can be regarded as extremely strict, these people can finally build an excellent weapon on their own.

Of course, Liu Nianru used the pig iron she had collected before, although one was being excavated now

But the number of the Northern Army is not negligible, and I want to pay a part to the imperial court at home, so that the remaining Xuantie is not very much. So, it's better to save on it.

Of course...... All of Liu Nianru's actions were reported by Gu Huan to His Majesty the Emperor. However, Liu Nianru never thought of hiding this matter. Even if the emperor knows, it's nothing, what can be done? It's not a sinful thing.

More than ten days have passed like this......

The combat power of the Northern Army has really been greatly improved, coupled with the fact that the barbarian soldiers were caught off guard, and they were even more at a loss in the face of the new weapons of the Northern Army.

The bow and crossbow made by Liu Nianru also inhibited the development of the barbarians to a certain extent, and I have to say that in the past ten days, the number of barbarian soldiers has decreased sharply, even if the 30,000 people of the barbarians face this group of troops and garrisons who have obtained new weapons, it is very likely to be defeated, or even ...... Military law, if used properly, can wipe out the barbarian soldiers.

On the other hand...... Duan Bailan and Liu Nianru's plan for Xin Delie is also quietly underway.

Duan Bailan replied to Xin Delie, saying that he was trading in Liangcheng, but he could not withdraw his troops, but he could give up a few cities to Xin Delie, and even deliver some weapons. But Liu Nianru's safety must be guaranteed.

I have to say that the weapon designed by Liu Nianru has also been of great help to this matter, if it weren't for the courage of the current Northern Army, it would really be impossible for Xin Delie's side to agree to this condition so quickly.

You know, the ...... that Xin Delie proposed at the beginning But let Duan Bailan leave with the Northern Army.

……

Xin Delie quickly replied, saying that he had agreed to the deal, and the time of the deal was at noon tomorrow, Liangcheng Station.

After all, Liangcheng was first captured by the barbarians, and no matter what, the barbarians will leave something or ...... Person. Even if Liangcheng was later recaptured by the Northern Army, even if it was purged by Duan Bailan, how could the forces left in this city be completely eliminated.

So...... It is understandable that the barbarians chose to trade in this city.

Xin Delie said in the letter that as long as Duan Bailan could meet the above conditions, he could guarantee that Duan Bailan would be returned to an intact Liu Nianru.

I have to say that Xin Delie's letter is simply confident, looking at this tone, I don't know what I really think Liu Nianru is going through in Xin Delie's hands.

But fortunately, Liu Nianru had already escaped and successfully returned to Duan Bailan's side, otherwise Duan Bailan might really make this transaction.

The next day, Liu Nianru couldn't help it, so she pretended to be a small soldier and followed Duan Bailan, wanting to see the situation on Xin Delie's side.

If Xin Delie knew that he had fled...... Hehe, that's a ...... Ah, I was a little looking forward to Xin Delie's expression when he knew the news.

I have to say that Xin Delie really didn't know that Liu Nianru had fled, and the barbarian imperial city was still closed, and the investigation on the street was getting stricter and stricter day by day, going in and out

The gates of the city must be checked for passes before they are allowed to pass. Xin Delie never imagined that Liu Nianru could escape from the imperial city with the help of Kanhit, so he intensified his search in the hope of finding Liu Nianru at the end of the deal with Duan Bailan.

However, what disappointed Liu Nianru was...... The person who came was not Xin Delie, but General Chu beside the barbarian prince.
