The weather is a little gloomy, King Duosi is very enthusiastic about the arrival of Meng Shu, this year, the transmission of news is already slow, and Nanzhong is even slower, for King Duosi, who is almost isolated from the world, even the news of the Han army coming in is brought by Meng Shu, and in his heart, he still maintains enough respect for Meng Shu, after all, Meng Huo is a barbarian king.

However, the battle on the front line was a little shocking for King Duosi, and Meng Shu naturally wouldn't show off his embarrassment by being captured four times and released four times, but it was just that the other party had already hit Kunchi and occupied the silver pit, which was enough to shock King Duosi's heart.

"The king doesn't have to worry." After the shock, King Duosi looked at Meng Shu and said with a smile: "If the Han army comes here, he will have no life to survive, then Liu Yi has the ability to reach the sky, and he needs to die here!" ”

"Oh?" Meng Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked.

King Duosi smiled and said: "There are only two roads in this cave, one is the road that the king walked when he came, the terrain is flat, the soil is thick and the water is sweet, and it is feasible for people and horses. In addition, there is a road on the northwest mountain, the mountain is dangerous and the ridge is evil, the road is narrow, although there is a small road, but there is a poisonous snake and evil scorpion inside, at dusk, there is a smoke miasma, until it has been noon, only the time, the time of Shen and the time of the unitary can come and go, in addition to these three times, the water can not be drunk, the people and horses are difficult to walk, and there are four poisonous springs to drink must die.

There are no insects and birds here, for many years, only General Han Fubo has been here, and no one has been here since then, if the Han army walks this road and enters, there is no water on the road, and the water of the four springs must be drunk, there will be a million troops, and they can be destroyed overnight, why do you need armor? ”

The Bald Dragon Cave has been able to be independent of this for many years without being swallowed up by large tribes, and even little is known, and it is obvious that this method has been used more than once.

Meng was overjoyed when he heard this: "No matter how powerful Liu Yi is, with these four springs, he will inevitably die." ”

At that moment, after everyone drank and feasted, they did not disperse the feast until they were slightly drunk.

When he returned to his residence, Meng Xu's face sank, and he summoned the cave master and said, "Have you ever left the person who was sent to invite the Ugo Kingdom?" ”

"Don't worry, the king has already been dispatched." Bring the cave master smiled.

"Send some more people, and ask the vulture to come as soon as possible." Meng Shu said in a deep voice.

Mrs. Zhurong was a little puzzled: "Why should the husband be so serious, according to what the king of Naduosi said, it will be difficult for the Han army to kill, and we will live here in peace." ”

"Be prepared." Meng Shu sighed and said: "Then Liu Yi is quite capable, since he entered Nanzhong, I don't know how many miasma forests have been destroyed, this Bald Dragon Cave is not a Jedi after all, otherwise I won't be able to enter, it's better to have more protection." ”

Mrs. Zhurong nodded when she heard this, since Liu Yi entered Nanzhong, in fact, fighting a war feels more like a sideline, he has spent most of his time building a walled city or cutting down miasma forests, cultivating fields, and in addition to building roads, from Jianning all the way to the vicinity of Kunchi.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhurong no longer dissuaded Meng Huo's choice, if she wants to deal with Liu Yi, she may not be able to win just by virtue of her geographical advantages.

"In addition, our soldiers should also be trained, before the battle with the Han army, more losses and fewer wins, not that our warriors are invincible, but they are actually lost in the military formation, we can take advantage of this time to train the military formation." Meng Shu discussed with Mrs. Zhu Rong.

There is no way, fifty percent of the remaining 3,000 soldiers and horses are Mrs. Zhurong's.

"The husband is in charge." Mrs. Zhurong doesn't have much trouble with this, her own is her husband's.

At the moment, Meng Huo sent people to ask for reinforcements from the Ugo Kingdom on the one hand, but on the other hand, he sent people to the Kunchi area to secretly inquire about Liu Yi's movements, and after losing a few times, Meng Huo gradually realized the importance of intelligence.

……

Meng Shu is thinking about how to make a last fight with Liu Yi, but Liu Yi is not in a hurry to clean up Meng Huo, he is digesting the gains, this battle defeated Meng Huo, most of the barbarians in the Kunchi area chose to show favor to Liu Yi, and the smaller tribes are even more directly sincere, so that Liu Yi's manpower at hand is suddenly sufficient, seeing that it is already autumn, the weather is beginning to cool, and the miasma is also beginning to reduce, Liu Yi is ready to take this opportunity to flatten the large miasma forest in this area of Kunchi, and the swamp is leveled, in addition to the smooth road.

At the end of July, news came from the direction of Yongchang, because of the withdrawal of Meng Shu, Wang Yan and Lu Kai had led the army back to Yongchang, and Buwei and other county towns were also recaptured, and Wang Yan and Lu Kai came to visit Liu Yi in person.

Liu Yi was very courteous to the two, and even went to the imperial court, asking Feng Wang and Lu Kai to serve as the Taishou of Yuewang and Yongchang respectively, integrating the resources of the two counties, and preparing to start construction and development.

The conditions here are worse than Jingnan, not the environment, but the transportation of materials, Liu Yi has only built two roads so far, unblocking Zhuti, Jianning and Qiqi, but this is only the road between the county seats, the road from Jianning to Yunnan has not yet been completed, in addition to the road from Yunnan to Yongchang, from Yunnan to Yuewang, as well as Yuewang and Yongchang, and the road from Yuewang to Jianning, are all hundreds of miles of big projects, the cement plant established in Jianning is obviously not enough, and more cement must be developed.

So Liu Yi did not rush to build the city, but first built a factory on the bank of the Xi'er River.

"Mohou, this seems to be a little different from the factory built in the fishing village at the beginning." Wei Yue has been by Liu Yi's side all these days, looking at the newly built field, Wei Yue said with some uncertainty.

"It's a little different, I want to build a furnace that can withstand high temperatures, but there are no coal mines here, so it can be considered an experiment." Liu Yi nodded, he was going to set up a high-temperature stove here.

"You want to forge weapons here?" Wei Yue was puzzled.

"No, make some looms, iron." Liu Yi shook his head, although the previous wood spinning machine, although it was extremely efficient under his improvement, especially after adding the attribute of work efficiency, the textile speed was twice as fast as the most advanced textile machine in this era, but in Liu Yi's opinion, it was still a little slow, this time he was going to see if he could make high-strength steel.

If you can, you may be able to make metal machine tools, if you succeed, you may be able to try to make some machine tools with higher precision to process steel, step by step to develop the strength of steel in a stronger direction, and then the idea of steam engine, Liu Yi has not broken.

Over the years, I have been researching and designing, and drawings and models have come out, if I can really produce the steam engine I designed...... I'm afraid it will take more than ten years, the conditions are a little unable to keep up, if this thing comes out, it will be much easier to mine Yunnan's copper, silver, and iron ore, of course, this requires a lot of coal resources.

Regardless of whether it can succeed or not, this first step, you have to go out first, he has been busy with the war before, his own work is a little slack, now it is rare to have such a place, no one cares, and there are rich resources, Liu Yi wants to put many of the previous ideas and designs here to carry out some experiments, as for Meng Shu...... Liu Yi, who stopped and started to develop, actually didn't like to fight too much.

"Iron?" Wei Yue looked at Liu Yi puzzled, this kind of thing still wastes iron? Iron is an important resource these days, and who would waste iron on such a thing?

"Well, it's just an idea, not necessarily useful." Liu Yi nodded, but the work in his hand did not stop, a strip about seven feet long and about three inches wide was placed on the ground by Liu Yi, and there was the same section about five feet apart, which was parallel to this one, Liu Yi quickly made another one, which fit with the previous one in the way of mortise and tenon, and it looked like it was a complete one.

"And what is this?" Wei Yue saw that Liu Yi had been making this thing, spread it on the ground, and asked with some doubts.

"Wooden rails!" Liu Yi looked at the wood in his hand.

Wooden rails: Solid +49, Wear Resistant +48, Load-Bearing +47

There are only three attributes, and among the items made by Liu Yi, it is considered to be a relatively wasted kind, but this thing, with these three attributes, is enough, and Liu Yi doesn't want too many moth attributes to appear on this thing, there is no need.

He actually wants to make railroad rails or copper rails, but now that the materials are scarce, if Liu Bei knew that he was using iron ore and copper ore to do this kind of thing, maybe he would come here in person to fight Liu Yi, so he could only use wooden rails instead.

In fact, the short distance of the wooden rail is OK, it can be replaced in time, the time is long, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the wind and sun, and it will be deformed after a long time, but I have to hang it, this wooden rail plus more than 40 points of attributes, and now it is also an experiment, he will make the wooden rail, and then go to do the rail car, now only shuttle between the various factories, if it can stand the test, it can be properly developed to the entire Nanzhong and even Shuzhong, this thing must have attributes anyway, otherwise no matter how good the wood, it can not withstand it.

With the addition of human-powered rail cars, the speed of transporting materials will be much faster, and it will also save manpower for material transportation.

A rail car can transport the materials carried by more than a dozen people at a time, and in terms of manpower, only three or four people are needed, which is still a long distance, if it is a short distance, two people are enough.

Fast speed...... At least much faster than the people's handling, but also save manpower, if it can really be vigorously promoted, in Liu Bei's territory to arrange the wooden rail network, then Liu Bei's comprehensive strength, I am afraid that soon to a level, which saves a lot of employment costs.

Of course, it would be better if it could be replaced with iron, but this is obviously not realistic, Liu Bei will work hard with himself directly, if he can unify the world, maybe he can try to implement it to the whole country, and at that time, the Han can consider developing outward, such as the body poison in the southwest, really control the countries in the Western Regions, and then fight to the west...... If you can get the truck out, it's not impossible to think about it, but this is a lifetime series.
