At the beginning of March, when the warbler flew and the grass grew, on the southwest front, the scars of battle had not faded.

After noon, the sky was a little overcast. One day has passed since the battle of Wangyuan Bridge, and both sides are in a delicate atmosphere that has never been seen before, and the battle report of Wangyuan Bridge is like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of the Jurchens, and the Huaxia Army is waiting to see if this basin of cold water will produce the desired effect.

Too strong a stimulus can cause people to react unexpectedly. To deal with deserters, what is needed is the decisiveness of the remaining brave to chase the poor; In the face of the trapped beast, the hunter has to take a step back and put a stronger shelf.

There is still fighting in the reckless mountains, and the front line of Shiling is quiet. The shells blew the ground black, the smell of blood still lingering, and on the confrontation line, a team of men and horses from each side came out, placing two simple chairs and wooden tables in the open space, and erecting a small pergola, and both sides carefully examined everything and the condition of the ground nearby.

After Yan Zonghan's reply arrived, it was destined that this day would be recorded in the history of future generations like Wangyuan Bridge. Although there were many persuaders on both sides, reminding Ning Yi or Zong Han to beware of the other party's tricks, and thinking that such a meeting was really not necessary, in fact, after Zong Han replied to the letter, the whole matter had already been finalized, and there was no room for manoeuvre.

"I pretended to force him to meet, and he agreed, but I said forget it and I didn't dare to go. Not so good. I also want to save face, and I can't afford to lose this person. ”

Ning Yi was in the Huaxia Army, and he rejected all exhortations with such a smile. A similar situation probably occurred in the Jurchen military camps.

The meeting took place at two o'clock in the afternoon (two o'clock in the afternoon) of the same day, and after the two guards checked the surrounding conditions, they agreed to bring one person each to the meeting. Ning Yi brought Lin Qiu, a senior staff officer with the army-Hong Ti once wanted to follow, but the negotiation was not just a few cruel words, a few high-level negotiations were often related to the handling of many details, and in the end Lin Qiu accompanied him.

Because the Huaxia Army had a slight upper hand at this time, and considering the impulse that the other party might have, both the secretary and the security put the responsibility on Lin Qiu, which made Lin Qiu, who had always been capable, quite nervous, and even promised several times that if he was in a critical situation, he would protect Mr. Ning's safety with his own life. However, when it was time to leave, Ning Yi simply said to him: "There will be no danger, calm down and think about the next negotiation." ”

At this time, Ning Yi's face had become serious, and he seemed to have a sense of alienation from everyone, but it was extremely majestic. He wore a military coat with black as the main body, and went out of the camp under the escort of Hongti and others. On the battlefield of confrontation, only two teams of guards were still near the center and did not leave, and Zong Han and Gao Qingyi, who were dressed as generals, also came out of the camp there.

Between the camps of the Huaxia Army, high wooden shelves are being erected. Ning Yi and Lin Qiu walked past where the guards were, and then continued to move forward, as did Zong Han's side. When the four of them met under the central pergola, tens of thousands of troops on both sides watched from their positions in various places.

Ning Yi looked at Zong Han and Gao Qingyi, and the other party was also looking at this side. Wanyan Zonghan has a half-white beard, when he was young, he was a solemn national character face, there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows, and the murderous aura turned more into majesty when he was old, his figure had the heaviness of the northerners, and it was intimidating to look at, and Gao Qingyi had a gloomy face and extremely high cheekbones, he was both civil and military, and he had killed people like hemp all his life, and he had always been an opponent who made the enemy feel terrified.

Compared with Zong Han and Gao Qing, who have been like tigers and wolves all their lives, Ning Yi and Lin Qiu seem to be much younger. Lin Qiu is a young officer in the Huaxia Army, belonging to the Shaozhuang faction cultivated by Ning Yi himself, although he is a staff officer, but the style of a soldier is immersed in his bones, his steps are straight, his back hands are like loose, facing the two pillars of the Jin State who are ravaging the world, Lin Qiu's eyes contain vigilance, but more of a resolute will not hesitate to pounce on the other party once he needs to.

Ning Yi's expression was not smiling, but he did not look nervous, but maintained a natural seriousness. When he got closer, his eyes swept over the faces of the two people opposite, and he spoke directly.

"Sticky Han, Gao Qingyi, I finally see you." He walked over to the table and glanced at Zong Han, "Sit." ”

Zong Han walked to the table with his hands behind his back, pulled out the chair, and Ning Yi took out a two-finger-long bamboo tube from the pocket of his coat and pressed it on the table with two fingers. Zong Han came over and sat down, and then Ning Yi pulled out the chair and sat down.

"It's been more than four months of fighting, and it's time to see each other." Zong Han put his hands on the table, and there was a sense of vicissitudes in his eyes, "More than ten years ago, if I knew that there was you, I would not have surrounded Taiyuan, I should have gone to Bianliang." ”

Zong Han's words were a little hoarse, but at this moment, they seemed earnest. The national war between the two sides has been fought to such an extent that it has involved the life and death of millions of people, the general trend of the world, and the verbal contest actually does not have much meaning. It is also for this reason that he recognized the value of Ning Yi and Huaxia Jun in his first sentence: If you can go back to more than ten years ago, killing you should be the first priority.

Ning Yi's gaze looked at Zong Han, turned to Gao Qingyi, and then returned to Zong Han and nodded. Gao Qingyi over there smiled gloomily: "Before I came, I proposed that when I took this opportunity to kill you, then the matter in the southwest can be solved, and there will be history books in later generations to talk about it, and they will say that Ning Ren Tu is stupid and ridiculous, and at this time, I have to do anything to go to the meeting alone - it's a shame to die." ”

Ning Yi didn't look at Gao Qingyi, he sat there and was silent for a moment, still looking at Zong Han: "...... Relying on one breath, it has been smooth sailing for thirty years, and you are already old, and if you lose this breath, you can't be a human being...... When you think about it a year from now, you will regret it, but not today. What you should be worried about is that there is a coup d'état in the Huaxia Army, and rockets fly from that side and fall on the heads of the four of us. But I did it as a precaution...... Let's get down to business. ”

"I'd like to introduce you to something called a water gun, which is a small piece of bamboo." Ning Yi picked up the bamboo tube that had been placed on the table before, and behind the bamboo tube was a wooden piston that could be pulled, and the eyes of Zong Han and Gao Qingyi were puzzled, "A thing that country children often play with, put it in the water, pull this wood, suck the water in, and then push it, smacking you in the face." That's the rationale. ”

Ning Yi put the bamboo tube on the table, pushed it forward, and then looked at the two of them. There was no expression on his face other than seriousness.

"Through Gewuxue, the bamboo was replaced with something stronger, the propulsion force was changed to gunpowder, and the projectile was shot, and it became the assault rifle that the Wu Dynasty had. The assault rifle is flashy, first of all, the gunpowder is not strong enough, and secondly, the barrel is not strong enough, and the projectiles that are fired again will fly randomly, which is meaningless compared to bows and arrows, and even hurt their own people because of the explosion. ”

"So we replaced the barrel with thick cast iron, or even refined steel, to strengthen the power of gunpowder, to add more gunpowder, and to use it to shoot out projectiles, and it became the iron cannon you see. The evolution of Gewuxue is very simple, first, the power of the gunpowder explosion, that is, how much thrust the wood behind this small bamboo tube can provide, determines how strong such a thing is, and second, whether the bamboo tube can withstand the explosion of gunpowder and launch things, more powerfully, farther, faster, and more able to destroy the armor and even shields on your body. ”

He paused slightly, and Zong Han on the other side was looking at the bamboo tube, and then said, "Ningren slaughter...... Can you teach me? ”

The two sides seemed to have an extremely casual conversation, Ning Yi continued: "The study of Gewu, many times, is the study of these two things, gunpowder is a spear, the material that can withstand the explosion of gunpowder is a shield, the strongest spear is combined with the strongest shield, when the range of the assault gun exceeds the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow will withdraw from the battlefield. The quality of the steel determines how big the cannon you can make, and whether you can have an advantage on the battlefield. ”

"In the process of exercising steel, we found many rules, such as some steel is more brittle, and some steel looks dense when forged, but in fact there are small bubbles in the middle, which are easy to explode. When forging steel reaches a limit, you need to use hundreds of thousands of ways to break through it, and breaking through it may increase the distance of the assault by five or ten zhang, and then you will encounter another limit. ”

When Ning Yi said this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, nervously, as if he was laughing, but he looked hideous: "But unlike bows and arrows, bows and arrows have not increased their range too much since their invention, although steelmaking will encounter one limit after another, but they can all break through, but there is a lot of work, very fine, and the crossing of each limit will even take a few years, more than ten years, and every step forward, it will be a little stronger." ”

He paused.

“…… From Xiaocanghe to today, what you see is only our step ahead of you in these kitsch and lewd skills, and you can rely on people to step over. But from the appearance of the sniper rifle at a distance of 100 zhang, the distance is already two steps, and neither you nor Xi Yin are aware of this. And when you get to the Wangyuan Bridge, it's the third step. ”

"You should have discovered this, and then you thought, maybe when you go back, you can create something like ours yourself, or find a way to deal with it, you can still find a way. But I can tell you that every step you see has at least ten years in between, and even if Hee-Yin is allowed to develop his Great Courtyard with all his might, ten years later, he will still not be able to build these things. ”

"We are in a very difficult environment, relying on the poor manpower and material resources of Liangshan, we have taken these few steps, now we are rich in the southwest, and if we repel you, our situation will be stabilized, and in ten years, there will be no more Jin Guo and Jurchens in this world."

The sky is still overcast, the wind is blowing in the mountains, after Ning Yi said this, Zong Han put down the small bamboo tube, he turned his head to look at Gao Qingyi, Gao Qingyi also looked at him, and then the two Jin Guo veterans began to laugh, Ning Yi clasped his hands on the table, the corners of his mouth gradually turned into an arc, and then he also laughed. The three of them couldn't stop laughing, Lin Qiu put his hands behind his back, and looked at Zong Han and Gao Qingyi indifferently on the side.

"Ning Rentu said this, don't you think it's ...... handsome"

Wanyan Zonghan laughed and spoke, Ning Yi's fingers knocked on the table, and he was also laughing: "Dashuai is laughing at me for talking nonsense, isn't it?" Hahahaha......"

"Haha, Ning Ren's words and threats are really ridiculous!"

"Hahahaha, I'll kill your son later."

“……”

Zong Han's expression stiffened for a moment, and then his laughter continued, and that smile gradually turned into a blood-colored killing intent. Ning Yi stared at his eyes and kept smiling, and after a long time, his smile stopped, his eyes were still looking at Zong Han, he pressed the small bamboo tube on the table with his fingers, and pushed it forward. One word at a time.

"For more than ten years, tens of millions of lives in the Central Plains, including Xiaocanghe to the present, the blood stuck to your hands, you will return it little by little in a desperate situation......

"I'll give it to all of you."

Under the small pergola, Ning Yi's eyes were just as awe-inspiring and murderous. Different from Zong Han's compelling momentum, Ning Yi's killing intent was abnormally indifferent, and at this moment, the air seemed to be pale with this indifference.

Under the pergola, in the eyes of the two, it seemed to be divided into two poles of ice and fire.

Gao Qingyi moved slightly.

Lin Qiu stared at Gao Qingyi, and then moved slightly.

The confrontation lasted for a moment. The sky and clouds are flowing, and the wind is popular.

I wanted to write a big chapter, but ...... At this time, let's start with these.
