The murderous intent on Li Er's face was already very obvious.

Li Er said to Liu Dexiu: "The general is old, and it was originally a matter of the Bai family and the younger generations of the Liu family to attack Jiaozhi, I came, and I didn't expect me to come." They regard me as the main general, and I don't even care about my life in this battle, and my family members who are not in the army have been secretly protected, so to speak, no one can stop me. ”

Liu Dexiu got up and bowed: "The general puts it down, I will do my best to help." ”

Li Er returned the salute: "Thank you." ”

Whether Liu Dexiu is to make meritorious contributions to the Han family or to sincerely help himself, Li Er doesn't care.

With the help of one more person, his success rate in winning Cochin will increase by one point.

Let's talk about Lin'an Mansion.

Nishiyama Annex.

Tonight, Han Jiang practiced for Liu Guo, because Liu Guo returned to Jinzhongdu and did the final finishing work.

At the same time, Han Jiang took over for Liu Rui.

Liu Rui came to Lin'an on official duty, and he had to apply to the imperial court for a new shipbuilding order, and at the same time apply to transport timber back from the south, and at the same time guard the Yangtze River to get a new order from the privy.

Of course, he also gave Han Jiang a small gift.

Liu Rui gave Han Jiang an order, because of the agreement of the new alliance between Song and Jin, Huainan East Road withdrew the army, so part of the soldiers and horses on Huainan East Road were incorporated into the forbidden army to fill the lack of troops in the reorganization of the Beida Battalion.

It is better for Lin'an to have veterans into the army than to recruit new soldiers or form displaced people into the army.

Han Jiang picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Liu Rui, and asked, "This An Fengjun, oil and salt are not soaked." Yesterday my father was impeached for betraying the country for glory, on the grounds that Huainan withdrew his troops on both roads, and if he was unprepared, then the north of the Yangtze River would be plundered by the Jin State, and many people in the court wanted to attack him, and I should ...... about it."

Before Han Jiang finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud noise behind him, and Han Jiang was so frightened that he even threw the wine jug.

Liu Rui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

He knows what is in the back mountain, and some things can be tested in Yinan City, but the research has to be placed in Lin'an, because of the lack of materials in Yinan City, many raw materials cannot be purchased at all.

Lin'an City is different, just say that the ore is the same, Lin'an City can buy the world's ore, whether it is whole or ground.

Daomen Dantang is not only improving gunpowder, but also improving glycerin.

Constantly adding all kinds of things to glycerin, and even mixing gunpowder with glycerin, the power does not need to be studied anymore, the main thing is safety.

The safety of storage, the safety of transportation, etc.

It's just that the sound just now is obviously a bit powerful.

Han Jiang shook his head: "That's the sound of the pressure cooker exploding, come on." ”

Qian Kuan had already rushed over, and Han Jiang ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to the back mountain to see if anyone is hurt." ”

"Yes."

Qian Kuan also heard that very unusual loud noise.

Qian Kuan arranged for someone to go, and Liu Rui asked, "What is a pressure cooker?" ”

Han Jiang explained: "The one I sent to the general last time, which was specially used to stew pig's trotters, was the simplest and most ordinary pressure cooker. But they are more advanced. To turn seawater into alkali, you need to use a pressure cooker. ”

"Understood." Although Liu Rui doesn't know much about this knowledge, he understands what it means.

That pot burned too hard and it would really explode, but after all, it was a small pot and couldn't hurt anyone. But if it's big, it sounds like a lot of movement.

Han Jiang continued to say what happened just now: "Regarding An Fengjun, whether to save or not. If you save it, they may not appreciate it, and if you don't save it, I can't bear it. ”

Liu Rui didn't answer, but asked another thing: "The incident in the south, once you officially start to act, I'm afraid you will never have a way out." ”

Liu Rui's meaning Han Jiang understands.

The matter of Wancheng can be said to be a chaotic people, and the matter of Lintao is abandoned.

There is room for mitigation in these two matters.

And to the south.

Once Jiaozhi is defeated, this matter will one day be discovered by the imperial court, so once Jiaozhi City is attacked, it means that Han Jiang will embark on a road of no return.

Han Jiang asked, "Is the general afraid of death?" ”

Liu Rui laughed, he didn't need to answer this question at all.

He and Li Er are both sixty years old, and Zhao Fang and Meng Lin are also above sixty.

These people have been through a few arguments.

Die!

There's something terrible.

Han Jiang also smiled: "It was my mistake, the general had already put life and death out of the way." Why do I want to fight Jiaozhi City, the general actually understands in his heart, and if he wants to say life and death, it will be two years later. ”

Liu Rui nodded: "Yes, two years is about the same." ”

Liu Rui glanced at Liu Guo: "I haven't told you about this, do you know, or can you guess?" ”

Liu Guo was already thinking when he listened to the two of them just now, and took over the topic at this time: "Jiaozhi, the capital of the Yue Kingdom." Since it is the capital, there must be a great deal of wealth. This wealth can be used to strengthen the army, and to the east of Jiaozhi City is a field of tens of millions of hectares, and rice is harvested three times a year. But! ”

Liu Guo said that, however, Liu Rui nodded approvingly.

Liu Guo did guess.

"But." Liu Guo continued: "What we lack right now is iron, steel, and copper. Without enough iron and steel, there is no ordnance, without copper there are no coins, and without cannons. I predict that the target of the lord and the general should be Jingzhao! ”

"Wonderful!" Liu Rui personally poured a glass of wine for Liu Guo: "Jingzhao guards Shudi, can attack and retreat, and if you hold Lintao, you will have a horse farm." Then the next thing to face is the Jin State to fight back with all its might, and the Western Xia takes advantage of the situation to attack. At that time, it will definitely not be able to hold on to Xin Youan and the Fan Army alone. ”

Liu Guo stretched out two fingers: "Actually, it's not difficult, two roads." One is that Dong Weng sat firmly in the court, recruited An Lintao, and then the main force of the Song army sent troops. The other is the Wu family's flag. In my opinion, both of these are good paths. ”

What Liu Guo said meant was that Han Yanxuan had already taken control of the Great Song Dynasty.

Dong Weng refers to Han Yanxuan.

Han Jiang asked, "Isn't it possible to unite Western Xia to fight against the Jin Kingdom?" ”

"Yes, but it's just a supplement, there is no real main force of the Song army, there is not enough money and food to support, and the Jin country is very strong." Liu Guo is not afraid of Jin Guo, but he knows very well the gap between Song and Jin in terms of hard power.

In recent years, the Great Song Dynasty only knew that singing and dancing had risen to peace and slackened armaments.

The entire Great Song Dynasty can really be called a warlike army, all of which add up to no more than 150,000, and the rest are known as a million army, and the number of people can be enough, and it is not known whether they can fight.

Han Jiang leaned back, his hands drooping: "Jin Guo is very strong, and there are stronger ones behind." In fact, I can't understand why it's so strong. I'm starting the same way he is now, I don't have a real place, and he doesn't have either. In two years' time, he must have started the war to unify the Mongols, and we may not be able to have Jingzhao yet. ”

Han Jiang sighed: "The most terrifying thing is that he is not weak yet!" ”
