Chapter Sixty-Eight: About the Firebolt
turned around and looked at the few people in front of him helplessly, spread his hands, and pouted: "I really can't help it!" Let's move on! Where did you just go? ”
"It's said that Ma Xiang is in Hangzhou!" Yuan Biao reminded Lin Feng in a timely manner.
"Well, yes! Doesn't he have to lead the troops? Lin Feng asked a question full of doubts.
"Hey! Don't mention it, boss! Zhou Chen sighed and took over: "Now it looks like they are working together to fight together." However, who is willing to really contribute, everyone is not a fool, the one who rushes out first will definitely lose the most in the end, even if the credit is the greatest in the end, whether it can make up for it is one thing! ”
After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Lin Feng seemed to understand a little, and nodded his head to signal him to continue: "Oh? What's the situation? Let's talk about it! ”
"It's been a few months since the beginning of the spring when the troops were dispatched, but how many armies have really fought? There are battle reports every day, they are all collisions of small teams, and even the battles of hundreds of people are pitiful! Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "As far as I know, even Uncle Lihuang's army in Fengzhou is basically standing still!" The Ritian Legion led by Xiao Hao has always been training there and has never participated in a battle! ”
"What about the others? Isn't there an order from above? ”
"Orders?" Zhou Chen squinted at Lin Feng and sneered: "Hehe, there will be something wrong with the order of the monarch outside!" Besides, you don't know what you're doing now! Don't say that we are in this situation, even Zhu Wen, the general under Huang Chao, is only confronting our army in Dengzhou, Huang Chao's order has been issued several times, let him go south to take the Jingxiang area, but Zhu Wen is hesitating! ”
"Zhu Wen? Oh! I know! Suddenly remembered a historical event, Zhu Wen later betrayed the Yellow Nest and became the main army to exterminate the Yellow Nest!
"Yes! Zhu Wen is also thinking about the current situation! Chen Wansan took over and continued to talk about his opinion: "Although Huang Chao now occupies the capital and established Daqi, Huang Chao is brutal and vicious by nature, narrow-minded, and likes to kill innocents indiscriminately. Especially after the capture of the capital Chang'an, he did not want to forge ahead, and he did not try his best to eliminate the Tang Dynasty army in Guanzhong, and he also lacked economic policies! Although the Great Qi was established, it did not have its own stable base area, and basically only attacked but did not occupy the city. Although he is trying his best to open up the situation now, in the current situation, even if he only besieges and does not attack, it is unlikely that he will want to make a difference! ”
"So Zhu Wen has also seen this situation now, and is considering giving himself a way out, after all, he still has military power and an army in his hands now!" Yuan Biao also summed it up.
Lin Feng nodded and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Zhou Chen: "You have been in Dengzhou for a long time, and you know some Zhu Wen more or less, this matter is handed over to you, contact with Zhu Wen more, but you still can't take it lightly, just stabilize him!" Try to avoid conflicts with him! ”
After all, it's not history now, and Lin Feng's name isn't written in the history books anyway. And since they've all been crossed, there are still so many incredible things happening, so it's better to be cautious. In case history changes and Zhu Wen does not defect, it will be bad!
"No problem, don't worry, boss!" Zhou Chen nodded in response, and then asked, "I have to go back tomorrow, do you have anything else to explain?" ”
"No, stabilize Zhu Wen, your task is complete, as for eliminating the Yellow Nest and recapturing Chang'an, we can just take action at the right time!" After explaining again, he suddenly remembered something that Zhou Chen had brought, and hurriedly asked, "Where did the weapons used by those personal soldiers you brought come from?" ”
"Are you talking about those torches? It was all made by Zhuge Cheng, and it is said that you made him do that! But there aren't many, and in my 50,000-strong troops, there are only a few shots! ”
"Torches? It's a bad name! In the future, it will be called a fire gun, and it will be smooth! Lin Feng changed the name of Zhuge Cheng's hard-working finished product with a word, and then asked, "How many firebolts do we have in total?" ”
"How much?!" Zhou Chen and the others looked at Lin Feng with a look of surprise.
"Hmmm! yes, how many? Lin Feng looked at the three of them with a puzzled face and continued to ask.
"How dare you ask!" Zhou Chen looked at Lin Feng dissatisfiedly and said, "Originally, those were still equipped for the Ritian Legion, but Xiao Hao insisted on giving me the equipment first. Aside from what you saw, there were only twenty soldiers from the Marquis's Palace! ”
"That's it?" Lin Feng had a feeling that he couldn't accept it.
"Boss! That's less! Do you know how much that torch costs? A hundred taels of gold! Every time you launch, you need half a tael of silver! It's just a lot of money! Zhou Chen's eyes were full of contempt when he looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, although the fire gun was made, but at this cost, that thousand-person army is 100,000 taels of gold, and that is 1 million taels of silver! Especially for each round of launches, it costs five hundred taels of silver!
The expenses of a normal family are only five or six taels of silver a month, and that round of launches will cost a hundred families for a month, which is really unaffordable! It seems that it can only be improved slowly in the future, otherwise this fire gun will be too chicken, and according to Lin Feng's observation, even the power is much worse.
After thinking about it, he let go of the matter, nodded and continued: "Okay, don't talk about the firecracker!" How is Xiaohao's side? I didn't see him this time! ”
"Xiao Hao is very good, it is said that he has eaten fat and is getting stronger and stronger! Xiao Hao also brought a message to you, when you meet, you won't get drunk and won't return! Zhou Chen said with a smile on the side.
Looking at Chen Wansan and Yuan Biao, who were also smiling, Lin Feng really felt comfortable and down-to-earth.
After that, Lin Feng slowly stretched his waist and said to the three of them with a smile: "Okay, let's rest early if there is nothing to do, let's talk about it later, I'm also sleepy!" ”
The three of them stood up one after another, and after a brief greeting, they left.
Lin Feng turned his head to look at Xiao Qi and Xi Yan who were sitting on the side, and asked suspiciously, "Don't you two sleep?" Do you want to sleep with me like this? ”
The two didn't answer, just stared at Lin Feng motionlessly. Lin Feng stepped forward a little puzzled, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the two, but Xiao Qi spoke: "We can't sleep, let's fight the three landlords!" ”
"What?! Do you want me to live! I'm hurt! ”
"Two are missing one, you don't come!" Xiao Qi ignored Lin Feng's protest at all.
"No!"
"Are you sure?" Xiao Qi looked at Lin Feng with a wicked smile and continued to ask.
"Not sure!" Lin Feng said it without hesitation, because he really didn't know what way Xiao Qi would come up with to find trouble for him if he didn't agree.
Xiaoqi: "。。。。。。 ”
Xiyan: "。。。。。。 ”
As a result, the three of them fought passionately until the second half of the night before they went back to their rooms to sleep, and Lin Feng was the one who lost the most!
