Yang Zhi was a little confused, so four or five people stood on it continuously, and they didn't give him any touch, and a thicker trunk, let alone four or five people, even if more than ten people stood on it, they might not be able to crush it.

"Oh! That allows someone to see what you've made. ”

"This... Now it's in the untouchables' chef. ”

"It's okay, I have time today, so I'll take a look at it."

Seeing that the prisoners of the East Gate were still stunned, Songfu Yin shouted: "You are still stunned, and you are not leading the way." ”

"Yes! Be! ”

The residence of the East Gate was not far from the dock, and perhaps it was Songxi Zhong's care that allowed him to have his own courtyard among the prisoners of war who slept in the Chase Shop.

The courtyard was very dilapidated, with only a sturdy thatched hut, a low wall of yellow mud walling, and discarded timber scattered everywhere.

And what attracted Yang Zhi the most was a strange thing placed in the center of the courtyard.

This thing is the same as what Dongmen said, the size of one person.

However, it is not just a complete tree trunk as Yang Zhi imagined, but a city built with a cut template, which is semicircular as a whole, and the structure looks very complex.

"This is what you call a bridge?"

Yang Zhi asked.

Dongmen replied with some apprehension: "Back to Your Highness, this is exactly what it is." ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said, "Chu Xin, you take four people to stand up." ”

"Yes!"

Chu Xin glanced at the prisoner of the East Gate and beckoned his men to step on this seemingly fragile and unbearable bridge model.

Yang Zhi's guards were all sturdy fighting men, and the weight of several people together was not clear.

Originally, I thought that this thing would collapse under such heavy pressure, but this seemingly fragile wooden plank actually withstood the ravages of several big men.

If you want to talk about changes, it's just that the bridge is slightly deformed.

"Amazing! It's magical! ”

Yang Zhi looked around the arch bridge model and was amazed.

After the test just now, this thing is not as strong as a complete tree trunk, but this thing is different from a tree trunk, as long as you master the method, it can theoretically be infinitely large.

At this moment, he somewhat believed the arrogant words that Dongmen had just said to him.

"What a bridge this is! Why didn't it be drawn on the drawing. ”

"Your Highness, this is a bridge that the untouchables came up with not long ago, and it doesn't have a name yet."

Yang Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, I see that the bridge is arched, it is better to call it an arch bridge, what do you think." ”

"Your Highness!"

Song Xizhong hurriedly praised it, in his opinion, as long as it is Yang Zhiqi's name, it is a good name for a genius even shit.

Yang Zhi has no doubt about him, and he is very complacent about his literary attainments.

"I can't imagine that a certain person came out to travel and could see such a talent in the people, it was really a worthwhile trip! If you can persuade him in front of your father, let alone exempt you from being a prisoner of war, it is not difficult to be an official.

Maybe my father will be open to your people because of this.

”

Hearing this, the prisoners of the East Gate couldn't believe their ears, how could they not agree.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness, the untouchables are willing to go to the capital with Your Highness."

Yang Zhi suddenly smiled when he heard this: "Okay! All right! However, it is not me who you should thank the most, but Songfu Yin, if he didn't know the pearl, His Highness might have missed a talent. ”

When the east gate heard this, he bowed to Songxi Zhong again.

Yang Hao said: "Songfu Yin not only governs the people in a good way, but also can recommend virtuous and virtuous people, and it is really my great luck to be an official." ”

This is exactly the result that Songxi Zhong wants, it is nothing to recommend a capable prisoner of war, what is always wanted is that this is recommended in front of the prince of Qi State, try to ask who else in this world can have such a lucky thing.

He was even a little glad that such a good thing had allowed him to catch up.

He discovered a talent, and it happened that Yang Zhi was here, and this is a person who is still obsessed with the way of craftsmen for His Royal Highness the Prince, and all kinds of coincidences make him a little fluttery, and he feels that his entry into the court is already a sure thing.

looked at Yang Zhihao's modesty, saying that this was a matter within the authority of a local government, and he didn't dare to be greedy.

This made Yang Zhi hear this, and felt that this person was indeed a rare good official, and after he went back, he would mention this person to Yang Hao, and a talent like this should be more reused.

While Yang Zhi was rejoicing in the discovery of talents, the war in the south had entered a state of anxiety.

Under the siege of Xuzhou for nearly ten days, the corpses are all over the field, and the thick wooden door has been smashed into tatters by the enemy.

Heifu, who had been promoted to captain, leaned against the wall in exhaustion, and he could no longer remember how many Miao people he had killed.

It's just that these Miao people are like mosquitoes in the south, no matter how they kill, they can't kill them all, and the armor on their bodies should not have been taken off for more than ten days, and the coagulated blood makes it very uncomfortable to stick to the body.

It has been ten days since the beacon fire was issued, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived, but the enemies under the city are gathering more and more, and if it goes on like this, I don't know if Xuzhou City can still be defended.

"Captain Wu, brothers, I may not be able to take you home."

Hefu looked at the sky and muttered to himself.

"The enemy has withdrawn! The enemy withdrew! ”

The herald's voice suddenly sounded, and Heifu hurriedly got up from the ground and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that the enemy under the pressure of the black pressure had retreated like a tide.

"Captain Wu, look, that's my banner of Daqi!"

Heifu put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and on the horizon in the distance, he could vaguely see several Tai Chi Yellow Dragon Flags waving in the wind coming towards this side.

Soon, a black line was seen on the horizon, and then countless shaking figures appeared in the eyes of the defenders of Xuzhou.

Reinforcements came, and Xuzhou finally held on.

The Xuzhou army, which was lucky enough to survive, cried with joy.

Seeing this, the Xuzhou defender immediately gathered his army, opened the city gate, and cooperated with the reinforcements to chase and kill the fleeing Miao people.

But the Miao retreat was timely, so they didn't have much to gain.

The first to arrive in Xuzhou was a reorganized regiment of Qi State, and the arrival of reinforcements meant that Qi State's southern expedition had completely begun.

It's just that the cannon sounded ten thousand taels of gold, although Qi did not have artillery, but the dispatch of 60,000 main troops to the south was enough to consume two years of Qi accumulation.

Conquest of the barbarian land is a bargain for the more civilized Qi country.

Even the relatively wealthy Miao people, in the eyes of the Qi people, are poor forces that can't even wear pants, and they can't grab anything at all, and all the material consumption can only rely on rear transportation.

Now that they are ready for the southern expedition, Yang Hao and the others have already thought about this price clearly.

It took two years of accumulation to fight this war, and if it can't conquer the south, it will cause heavy damage to the Qi country, and don't think about recovering in a few years.

In order to settle the situation in one fell swoop, the army of Qi advanced by waterway.

In August of the twelfth year of Hongwu, all the Qi army arrived at the southern border and began to counterattack the land of Sanmiao.

After a month's voyage, the navy has also arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and is swimming upstream along the rolling river, completely cutting off the possible escape of the Miao people.
