Xihuan was annoyed at this time, and the cold air in the room was shining, covering the red fire cloud on his face.

"Gu Chen, it's been two months, why is there no news from Yongxing City, your people are blind, right?"

"Your Highness is angry, the people installed by the Ligong faction and Wei Xian are extremely tight, and the production method used is unseen by everyone, and they don't know how the entire production technique is manipulated, and only knowing one link is useless.

And it is extremely difficult to enter the Yongxing City Workshop, not to mention the layers of screening, it is difficult to get in, and it is even more difficult to come out, you have to move into the city with your family, but it is not easy to go out of the city if you are included in the craftsman's author, and it must not exceed three days, and you must return to the city within three days, otherwise you will be severely punished, and your subordinates will be really difficult to do. ”

"Is it hard to accomplish anything?" Xihuan said angrily.

"This ...... This is not true, if the Black Turban Army attacks Yongxing City or even breaks the city, it is convenient for General Wei Han to send troops to plunder people. ”

"It's no different from nothing!"

Just when Xihuan was angry, the steward outside the door suddenly came to report:

"Your Highness, Wei Xian (known as Bailiyan), the vanguard general of the Xian Army, asks to see you."

"What, what, what? Wei Xian! Xihuan was stunned for a moment, and at first thought that he had heard a mistake: "You mean Wei Xian!" ”

"Yes, it's Wei Xian, who is outside the mansion."

"What is he going to do!" Gu Chen said.

Xihuan thought for a moment and said:

"Lead him to the front room."

"No!"

The steward slowly withdrew, and Xihuan asked:

"Gu Chen, what do you say Wei Xian is doing here?"

"My subordinates don't know, so I can't be discovered by him."

"So what, it's hard to turn your face or not."

Xihuan sent people to infiltrate Yongxing City to steal the steelmaking method, and he has not succeeded in the past two months, Bailiyan (Wei Xian) suddenly came, and Xihuan was somewhat weak-hearted.

When he came to the front hall, Baili Yan sat on the right side with his head cocked proudly, and said:

"General Wei returned victorious, he came to demonstrate to Princess Ben."

"How dare Wei, this time the princess can let go of the general, and I, Wei Xian, should be Her Royal Highness Princess Xie."

Bai Liyan said sarcastically, Gu Chen competed against each other:

"General Wei, don't forget your identity, do you talk to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess like this!"

"Hmph, since the princess is the princess of Xianguo, she should think about the interests of Xianguo. But the general found that the 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin State stationed in Leicheng were able to watch the 50,000 men and horses of the Black Turban Army on the front line of Ikeda and Gu Bai go south without doing anything, so that my 30,000 troops were almost buried in Shaoping, is this how the Jin State treats my Xianguo? This is how the crown princess made profits for the Jin Kingdom, and harmed our army, right? ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense." Gu Zhong reprimanded: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has never asked about the military, why don't you hold your troops still, General Wei doesn't want to spew blood!" ”

"Ben will spew blood!" Bai Liyan said-for-tat: "The blood of my Xianguo soldiers has not dried up, if it weren't for your Jin army standing still in Lei City, how could the Black Turban Army transfer 50,000 soldiers and horses from Ikeda and Gu Bai, and in nearly a month, it would be difficult for the 150,000 Jin army to be blind." ”

Baili Yan split his head and covered his face is a good scolding, Gu Zhong glanced at Xihuan, Xihuan was looking at him, the meaning couldn't be clearer, do you know this matter? Gu Zhong shook his head, meaning that I don't know, Xihuan immediately frowned, and said:

"General Wei, King Xian did not summon Qian Kun, the envoy of the Jin State, on this matter, and the general Xingshi mobilized the crowd to come, so he didn't come with a deliberate demonstration."

"The king didn't know about the envoy of Jin, but also to take care of your Royal Highness the princess, your Jin army stabbed the allies in the back, presumably once this news comes out, there are probably no princes in the world who are willing to ally with your Jin country.

Whether Her Royal Highness the princess really doesn't know or not, Wei didn't dare to make a conclusion, but this is the case, now not only the Xian army knows, but the Black Turban Army also knows that the Jin army will not save it when it sees death, and Wei Han's 100,000 army is stationed east of the Yongxing River as if it were nothing.

According to Wei, since the Jin army is inactive, it is better to withdraw to the mainland as soon as possible, in case the Jin country also sends a black scarf rebel, this thousands of miles away from the rescue is not urgent, but it is too late to regret it. ”

"You!" Xihuan was angry and did not speak, and said with a restrained anger: "General Wei, this princess never asks about the soldiers, and her father will not listen to His Royal Highness's words, General Wei doesn't have to mobilize the people to come and bully a woman in the palace." This princess is the prince's main room, and the general is so disrespectful, it must be too rude. ”

"Then forgive Wei for his farewell!"

Seeing that Baili Yan wanted to leave, Xihuan shouted:

"Wait!"

"What's the matter with Your Highness?"

"My Jin Kingdom recently happened to get the method of fine iron forging, I thought it was like a treasure, but I never thought that it was a small person who deceived the world and stole his name, the general knows why?"

Bai Liyan frowned and said in a deep voice:

"In this way, the few who escaped in the first month of this year were invited away by the princess."

Xihuan pretended not to know, and asked Gu Chen:

"Gu Chen, has this princess invited anyone under General Wei's command?"

Gu Chen denied:

"Back to Your Highness, there has never been."

Bai Liyan sneered:

"Is it hard to beat the iron, but it is also very brittle, but it is so."

Gu Chen heard the news and wanted to nod yes, but Xihuan took the lead and said:

"It seems that General Wei really knows the mystery."

Xihuan neither admitted nor denied it, but the meaning of the words was very clear, and Bai Liyan said coldly:

"Your Highness doesn't have to waste your time, those few craftsmen who have escaped will never be able to make the good iron that the Jin Kingdom wants, and at the same time, don't expect to get any secrets from Yongxing City, it is absolutely impossible. Farewell! ”

Among the craftsmen who escaped in the first month of this year, Bailiyan initially suspected that they had been deceived, and couldn't help but think that they had gotten people to the Jin Kingdom for Xihuan. It's not surprising that they can't make good iron, because those people don't know anything except how to make iron.

Nowadays, most of the cognition of iron still stays in the iron itself, no matter how they fight, they will never be able to make good iron, let alone steel.

The material used in Bailiyan forging is steel, after repeated folding and forging, the material structure inside the steel is improved to make it uniform and refined, and then heat treatment, softening and secondary semi-cold forging, and then steel wrapping, quenching, carburizing, until the edge.

The Jin Kingdom used pig iron forging, not steel, which is very different.

The reason why the Han Dynasty invented 100 steelmaking is that the impurities of molten iron are high, it is pig molten iron, and the graphite content is high, so it is only suitable for use as agricultural tools, so it can only be called ironware. Therefore, soon after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the steel frying method appeared, which reduced the cost and obtained a large number of stable steel.

After all, after pig iron is repeatedly forged and tempered and folded, the internal material of the iron is uniformly refined in one step, and decarburized many times, so that the carbon content is reduced to the standard of steel, and then the hundred steels are obtained, so the hundred steels are processed from semi-pig iron with high impurities and graphite content.

However, Bailiyan used the steel filling method to obtain steel forging, but the Jin Kingdom provided pig iron, so the pig iron can only use the Baili steel method, and cannot use the manufacturing process provided by Bailiyan.

However, the 100-for-100 steel method needs to be folded and forged for more time, but it is not mastered by the few people who escaped, and naturally the steel cannot be beaten with pig iron, even if it is played, the cost will be extremely expensive, and the performance is still not as good as the carbon steel of Baili Yanlian.

The pig iron is produced by the forging process of steel, and the final result can only be white iron with extremely high hardness and great brittleness, which is absolutely unparalleled in the world for agricultural tools, but it is used to fight, and the knife edge must collapse a large piece under a blow, because the rigidity is too poor and the hardness is high, resulting in too brittleness.

The households that Xihuan went to only knew how to forge according to the standard, but they didn't know the theory of the system, and they didn't have the summary and exploration initiative of modern people, where could they make forged steel.

Xihuan overturned the fruit plate on the case in a fit of rage, and his pretty face was cloudy:

"Wei Xian, An dares to do this!"

Seeing this, Gu Chen hurriedly stepped forward to persuade:

"Your Highness is angry, Wei Xian is so rampant, he deserves death!"

"What my father wants is Baosteel in Yongxing City, what's the use of saying useless words. By the way, what's going on with the northern army stationed in Thunder City, the rebels on the front line of Ikeda and Gu Bai are going south, why don't they occupy the two places at such a good time, but leave the truth to Xianguo and say that this princess is not, what is going on. ”

"Your Highness, the northern army of Lei City is under the command of Himitsu, and only the king can mobilize it, but to say that the rebels of Ikeda and Gubai are empty, but Himitsu turns a blind eye, which is too strange. If you don't occupy the city of Xianguo, you can watch from the wall, how can there be such a reason.

Otherwise, his subordinates immediately rushed to Lei City to investigate the truth, so as not to let His Highness be passive with King Xian. ”

"Then go quickly, the Black Turban Army has evil methods, in case something goes wrong with the Jiguang Army, what kind of face does the Jin Kingdom have to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains!"

"No!"

After the veteran general Han He became the Great Sima, the Northern Army of the Jin State did not determine the main general until the defense of the country threatened the country, and the cousin of the Jin King Jiwei served as the general of the expedition to the north and sent troops to deter the defense of the country.

After moving the Thunder City, the 150,000 Jin troops led by Ji Guang were also safe and sound, and this time the Black Turban Army removed 50,000 horses under his nose without realizing it, Gu Chen felt incredible.

Even though Xihuan can't intervene in the matter of the military plane, but such a big thing as stabbing a knife in the back, no matter how much he learns about it, even if he doesn't have time to ask for instructions, there should always be news afterwards, it's been almost two months, and there is not even a little news, Xihuan can't help but worry that something is wrong with the army of Xiguang.

On the way out of the prince's mansion, Bailiyan frowned.

Obviously, Xihuan's attitude doesn't look like acting, which means that Xihuan is also in the dark. It is inconvenient to say that it is inconvenient to disclose in advance about the major events related to the military aircraft in advance, but it should always be notified afterwards, otherwise Xihuan would not be so embarrassed just now.

Thinking about it, it is likely that something is wrong with the northern army of the Jin Kingdom, otherwise it is impossible for the Black Turban Army to send 50,000 people from the front line of Gubai and Ikeda to the south, that is all its troops in the north of Xianxi County, as long as the Jin army is strong, it can directly hit Mogao, the governing place of Xianxi County, how could the Jin army miss such a God-given opportunity.

Riding back to Yicaotang, Jiang Jie was talking to a man in a straight-robed silk robe in his early thirties, as if he had been talking for a long time, and when he saw Bailiyan returning from riding a horse, Jiang Jie hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:

"General!"

"Well, who is this person?"

"General Yu, he is the steward of the Great Sima Mansion."

Bai Liyan turned over and dismounted, frowned and asked the man:

"I don't know what Da Sima has to do."

The man bowed and said:

"On the orders of my family, I have invited General Wei to come to the mansion and discuss important matters."

"Something important!" Bailiyan was suspicious.

Since the Muyangcang scandal, the Great Sima Jiang Yan has lost power since then, and King Xian has taken the authority of the Great Sima into his own hands, and Jiang Yan has also claimed to be sick at home since then, and he has not been in court for nine out of ten days.

Bai Liyan had never had any explanation with him before, and he hadn't even met in person, so today he asked himself to discuss "important matters" for no reason, what could be an important matter.

"Wei is a little tired today, I will visit Lord Da Sima another day, and I also ask Your Excellency to greet Lord Da Sima on behalf of Wei."

Bailiyan politely refused, but the people who came did not give up:

"General Wei, the stakes are very high, and I ask General Wei to meet with my family tonight, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."

"What the hell is the matter, I have to go to the house tonight, why can't I tell the king?"

"There is a reason for this, and General Wei will know when he goes."

"Well, Ben will go with you."

Jiang Yan was so anxious, Bai Liyan thought that it couldn't be a trivial matter.
