Li Ze silently stared at the ordinary-looking wooden barrel in the courtyard, at this moment, the lid of the wooden barrel had been lifted, and a foul smell wafted in the courtyard.

Li Mi was like a great enemy, and when the wooden barrel was carried in by her heart at the beginning, she even commanded the soldiers to erect a thick shield wall in front of Li Ze.

This was transported from Fort Shijiawu.

After the first battle of Shijiawu, Liu Chenglin specially sent Li De back to report the details of this battle to Li Ze. In that battle, if it weren't for Li De's quick decision, without Hou Yu's unswervingness, it would have been two more than whether he could take Shijiawu Fort. In fact, at that moment, Liu Chenglin, as the main general, did lose his ability to command for a while.

It was Li De's behavior that evoked the ability he should have as a battlefield veteran.

Sending Li De to come is also a strong praise for Li De, in Liu Chenglin's trip to Li Ze, the first merit of this battle was given to Li De, and the second merit was given to Hou Yu, as for the seriously injured Liu Changfeng, Yuan Gang, who died on the spot, was also recorded by Liu Chenglin, in Liu Chenglin's line, the only person who had a presence in this battle was himself.

In this battle, the right guard of Qianniu Wei lost more than 3,000 people, and the 5,000 armor soldiers who were stationed in Yingzhou at the beginning lost half of Tai.

It is impossible for Li Ze not to feel distressed, these five thousand armor soldiers, but Rui, who was selected from tens of thousands of troops, are now gone.

But now is obviously not the time to be held responsible, from the first moment he got the news, Li Ze immediately ordered Li Rui of Shenzhou to immediately bring 3,000 armor soldiers from Shenzhou into Yingzhou, and at the same time, he also ordered Chen Changan of Cangzhou to lead the 3,000 armor soldiers under his command who had just completed the reorganization to obey Liu Chenglin's orders, and Chen Changping, another general, because he was under Shi Zhuang's command before, it would take time to reach Yingzhou.

Although Liu Chenglin laid down Shijiawu, but next, he had to face the counterattack of Deng Jing in Mozhou, and Shijiawu became a key point that they must defend.

Li Ze stood up, pushed away the armor and shield in front of him, and strode towards the bucket in the middle of the courtyard, which caused the heavy losses of the right guard and horses.

"Jie Shuai!" Li Mi wanted to stop Li Ze.

Li Ze waved his hand: "If he really wants to explode, this barrel is enough to sweep this courtyard to the ground, a few shields can't stop it, and this west, only when it is sealed and burned violently, it can only have a violent explosion, now that it has been opened, although it will still burn fiercely, but it can't be blown up." ”

Li Mi was a little unconvinced, the festival commander was also the first time he saw this thing, why did he have to be so sure! She glanced at Li De fiercely.

If she knew that Li De brought such a bucket of things into the mansion, she would never allow Li De to enter the mansion, even if she wanted the festival marshal to understand the west, it would be enough to get a bucket in.

Li De also seemed to react at this time, and lowered his head a little sneeringly under Li Yu's glare.

Li Ze knew about this west, but it was also the first time he had seen this west.

Fierce fire oil.

Moreover, after refining by secret methods, it formed a fierce fire oil with great lethality.

Previously, Li De really didn't expect that the fierce fire oil would appear on the battlefield, and it was his opponent who took it out first.

Standing in front of this barrel of fierce fire oil, he thought for a long time before waving his hand to let people carry it down.

"If you carry it far away, you are not allowed to stay in the mansion, send soldiers to guard it strictly, and you are not allowed to get a trace of sparks close!" Li Mi ordered again and again, she would never allow this dangerous thing to stay in the Marshal's Mansion.

Li Ze walked into the study without saying a word, and Li De also walked in.

"I read Liu Chenglin's report. In this battle, your performance can indeed be described as amazing, and Liu Chenglin allowed you to be the first credit, which is not bad. Li Zedao.

Li De lowered his head: "After killing so many brothers in the battle, where does Li De dare to ask for any credit?" ”

"So after you entered Shijiawu, you went on a killing spree?" Li Ze knocked on the table: "All the men who are more than the height of the wheels have been killed, and all the women who have taken weapons have also been killed, and I heard that the river has been red for more than ten days." ”

Li De tom knelt down: "Childe, in this battle, we have too many brothers who have died, Liu Changfeng was seriously injured, and he has not woken up yet, Yuan Gang, only one head has been recovered, and in the end, their Shi Jiawu people are indeed chased out by all ages." ”

Li Ze waved his hand a little annoyed, "That's it, if you kill it, you will kill it, but this wind can't last." You go back and tell Liu Chenglin that his General Yunlu was demoted by one level, but not because he killed so many soldiers in Shi Jiawu, but because he was punished by issuing an order to kill prisoners, of course, the external notification will still be demoted because of the excessive losses in this battle. You don't want any credit, you can be regarded as a guilty person! ”

"Yes, Childe." Li De nodded repeatedly.

"The disabled soldiers, let's settle in Yingzhou." Li Ze continued: "Assign the women and children who stayed in Shijiawu to the unmarried among them, divide the fields, livestock, and houses among them, and quickly put the pensions in place, and settle them well. ”

"Yes."

The work of the Yixing Society also intervened. Tell the person in charge of the Yixing Society there that these disabled soldiers are better off than ordinary people. The Yixing Society should pay close attention to and intervene. ”

"Go back and tell Liu Chenglin that in the next time, he needs to recuperate, restore morale, and try to reduce the impact of this battle. Even if Deng Jing comes to attack, he must focus on defense and don't rush out. Li Ze advised: "I will not raise troops out of anger, I hope he will remember the lesson of this time, a wrong decision, many lives will be lost because of this." In this battle, such an obvious and clumsy strategy actually allowed the enemy to succeed, in the end, because he looked at the opponent. Zhang Zhongwu leveled the Khitan border more than ten years ago, and the soldiers and horses under his command, even those generals who were not reputable, and there was one who did not crawl out of the sea of corpses and blood. ”

"The Admiral remembers."

Li Ze waved his hand: "Okay, you go down, it's not easy to come back, many brothers in the past must also be thinking about giving you a pick-up, rest for two days, and then go back to Yingzhou." ”

"Yes, son, the last general will take his leave." Li De respectfully knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Ze, then got up, walked out of the study, and passed by the oncoming Tian Bo, the two nodded to each other, and staggered.

Walking into the study, Tian Bo put a stack of papers in front of Li Ze, looked back at Li De's distant figure, and said with a smile: "Childe, these guys in the secret camp have grown up one by one, which is really gratifying." ”

Li Ze smiled, Tian Bo had been in charge of these people for a long time, just like an old hen taking care of a flock of chickens, and now these chickens have slowly grown into eagles soaring in the sky, and he naturally has a sense of accomplishment.

"Not bad!" Li Ze nodded and picked up the papers, "That person recruited?" ”

"The root is useless, just let him look at those torture tools, this person was summoned, just an ordinary warlock, when he was in Shi Jiawu, he stumbled upon this special oil, after this person was refined, it has a certain power, Shi Jiabao Lord Shi Kui felt that this West was good, so he left him to make this West, there is such a power at present, and it is also the result of this guy's research for four or five years. This person had already written down on paper how to refine this Western Capital. Tian Bodao.

"Shijiawu has this kind of crude oil?" Li Zedao.

Tian Bo nodded: "Yes, less than ten miles away from Shijiawu, there is a place they call the Valley of Fire, there is no grass, and a kind of black grease often gushes out of the ground, and this kind of west is refined from this black grease." ”

Li Ze shook his head: "In the mountains and wilderness, there are often relics!" Liu Chenglin probably couldn't have imagined that the fierce fire oil that pit him thousands of armor soldiers in one fell swoop was actually made by a charlatan warlock. ”

"Childe, according to this warlock, after Feng Lun arrived at Shijiawu, he asked for the cultivation method of this fierce fire oil and dedicated it to Zhang Zhongwu, according to this warlock's confession, it seems that in Yanzhou, Yingzhou and other places, there are also this kind of black grease gushing out of the ground." Tian Bo said with some apprehension: "That is, it is very likely that the Lulong people will have a large amount of this fierce fire oil in the future. ”

Li Ze nodded: "It doesn't matter, this kind of West wants to form a violent explosion like Shijiawu, it takes a lot of conditions, under normal circumstances, he is also a special arsonist, of course, after this kind of fire is burned, water cannot be extinguished." Only wait for him to burn himself out. He waved the papers in his hand and said, "Now, we are about to have it, go back and let Liu Chenglin bring back some more raw oil from that fire valley, and use this warlock's method to refine it." Look at this warlock is not lying. ”

"Yes!" Tian Bo said: "Then this guy still has to be raised?" ”

"Eat and drink and wait, see if you can recruit him, such a person is also a rare talent, this person has studied this thing for many years, and he should have a lot of experience." Li Zedao: "If it can be used by me, we may not be able to surpass Zhang Zhongwu far beyond Zhang Zhongwu in the use of this west." ”

Li Ze knows very well that the so-called fierce fire oil is only slightly powerful, and if it can really refine the kind of gasoline-like West in later generations, then the power will be extraordinary.

"A charlatan, he doesn't have any position, it shouldn't be a problem to recruit him." Tian Bo said: "When Liu Chenglin finally killed his red eyes, he still knew that it was not easy to keep this guy's family. ”

"By the way, it's been a while since Gao Xiangsheng went to the river, and there is no news yet?" Li Ze suddenly remembered something and asked.

Tian Bo was a little ashamed: "Childe, Gao Xiangchang is a big expert in our industry, I can't compare to him, as soon as he enters the river, he disappears, my people lost him, and I can't find any trace of him, I have to send a message to people waiting for him in Taiyuan, he wants to see Gao Biao, always going to Taiyuan." ”

Li Ze nodded, compared to Liu Chenglin's battle in Yingzhou, he paid more attention to Gao Yu's river.
