The theory that the Black Turban Army defeated the Lu Ji army with witchcraft has been widely circulated along the way, and there are all versions, but without exception, they all point the finger at "Heaven's Curse".

According to the news obtained by Zhao Xun, on the day of the battle of the Black Turban Army, Lu Ji's army encountered a flat ground and a thunderbolt, which frightened the army and instantly collapsed its morale, and the Black Turban Army launched an attack later.

This description alone is very reminiscent, the most intractable, if not incredible, is the thunder during the day. Even if it is thunder, it is at most a few mines, and it is not possible to thunder in a high density in a large area of airspace. Moreover, the thunder hit the ground directly, causing the Lu Ji army to inexplicably kill and injure many people first.

If there must be a reasonable explanation, it is obviously impossible for the Black Turban Army to predict thunderstorms, let alone use the so-called demon magic to attract the Thunder Male and Electric Mother, it can only be something buried in the ground, but it can't be a mine, unless the Black Turban Army is the first to discover gunpowder and put it into actual combat, if so, it makes sense for the Black Turban Army to be invincible in witchcraft.

The discovery of gunpowder in ancient China is a coincidence, discovered by alchemy alchemists in the process of alchemy.

Theoretically speaking, gunpowder does not have any technical difficulty, only a chance combination probability, and can have the conditions for birth, so it has no connection with technological accumulation and time and space, unless one of the three elements of sulfur, nitrate, and carbon, or several have not been discovered and used by human beings, resulting in gunpowder does not have the conditions for production.

However, sulfur and nitrate are absolutely controlled by the current military materials for ignition and smoke, and the control of various countries is extremely strict, among which sulfur is only produced on a large scale under the volcano of Changsun country, and the output of other countries is not large, and the salt country is even less pitiful, coupled with the serious lack of mineral exploration technology at present, they are all found by chance, so almost all countries need to import sulfur from Changsun country.

It is almost impossible to get enough sulphur and make enough gunpowder to kill an army of 80,000 people, and there is no precedent in the history of Earth for such a large-scale explosion of artificial gunpowder.

What's more, Lu Ji encountered the Black Turban Army in the Mageng River, and the damp gunpowder buried in the river is in the ground, and if it is not made into a mine, it will be invalid after being damp. Even if it is placed in a clay cylinder, how to detonate at the same time with tens of thousands of clay cylinders is also a problem.

At least Bai Liyan (i.e., Wei Xian) didn't believe that the Black Turban Army had made gunpowder and had already made it in large quantities. If this is the case, the Black Turban Army should go to beat the Zhi Army and defeat the 300,000 army of the Central Plains Overlord, all the countries will know each other, and it is only a matter of time before the Black Turban Army is close to sealing the country.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Black Turban Army to have gunpowder, but it has used some other means to do something underground.

The next day, Jiang Min had not yet returned from the camp in Chenling, Jiang Gan, in the name of Guangxin Qinwang Army, summoned the leaders of the Qinwang Army from all walks of life in Beihai to discuss the integration of Qinwang Army in Beihai in the Guangxin Army camp.

Beihai under the jurisdiction of Pucheng, Guangxin, Dingyang, Lincheng, Maoqiu, Suhai six cities, of which Guangxin, Dingyang as the first and second population of Beihai, Guangxin was given to Jiang Min, Dingyang was given to Zhang Jun, the three largest towns in Beihai Suhai is the Beihai County Governor, the other cities have six feudal monarchs, marquis, dukes and above are only Guangxin and Dingyang.

Jiang Qian convened a meeting of the leaders of the Beihai Qinwang Army, wanting to take over the power of the Qinwang of the Beihai garrison in the hands of the Guangxin Army, but Zhang You, the eldest son of Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, sat in the Dingyang Army on behalf of the Marquis of Dingyang, of course, he would not agree to worship the Guangxin Army as the governor, so the other Qinwang troops did not express their position.

At this time, everyone understands that the 20,000 horses of the Guangxin Army are larger than the number of Qinwang troops on any road, if the military power of the Qinwang Army of Beihai County is attributed to the Guangxin Army, in case of Guangxin rebellion in the future, who can get rid of the magnates of the entire Beihai, Zhang You does not nod, it is on behalf of the meaning of Dingyang Marquis and Xianwang.

Marquis Ding Yang sent his eldest son Zhang You to lead the army to Qin Wang, and the Zhang family only had 1,000 guards, gritted his teeth and recruited 6,000 new soldiers, only 7,000 people.

I thought that Jiang Min, the Duke of Guangxin, would send 10,000 troops should be Jiang Min's limit, but I never thought that 20,000 people would come in one go, and Guangxin City still had 10,000 county soldiers and 10,000 guards. In this case, who would dare to go along with Guangxin Gong will not be the object of liquidation after the war.

If the two armies are facing each other, with the current cohesion, they can hold the Yongxing River for a month and not be scared to death by the Black Turban Army, which is good.

The meeting broke up unhappily, which made Jiang Qian very annoyed:

"Zhang You disregarded the danger of survival for his own selfishness, and wanted to divide the military power in the North Sea, which is really hateful."

At this time, Luo Songting said quietly:

"This matter is expected, Gongzi does not need to worry, in the following opinion, Guangxin can break away from Beihai County and join forces with Zhao Shuai, which is more conducive to our army's battle."

"But in this way, the military power of King Qin of Beihai County will fall into the hands of villains like Zhang You."

Luo Songting smiled and said:

"Childe really thinks that Zhang You can have greater abilities than Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang? In fact, it is not, Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, is just an incompetent person, and he has nothing to show for himself. What can his son Zhang You do, when the war is together, and the Qinwang army loses the first battle, he will naturally take the initiative to get close to the Guangxin army and seize the people's hearts and powers. ”

"Then, with Mr. Luo's words, will Zhao Xun agree to cooperate with the Guangxin Army and the garrison?"

"I can't." Luo Songting said categorically: "After all, the combat power of the garrison is above the Qinwang army and the miscellaneous soldiers from all walks of life, Zhao Xun intends to take the garrison as the main force, and the Qinwang guest army from all walks of life as auxiliary soldiers, so as not to have uneven combat strength of the main force, do not listen to orders, and be taken advantage of by the black turban army."

Even in the future, we will never integrate miscellaneous troops into the main force in a short period of time, because this will not help to enhance our combat strength, but will weaken our army's combat strength. Zhao Xun will then order the guest army of each county to elect the governor, and as long as Zhao Xun orders the governor of each county, the guest army can use his life for Zhao Xun.

At this time, the Guangxin Army was listed separately and the garrison was jointly camped, how would the other counties view it, and whether they would also make this request. What's more, Gongzi knows that there are no differences within the other counties? ”

"Isn't that gentleman's suggestion to join forces with the garrison come to naught?"

"Definitely. At present, the armies of all walks of life are gathered on the banks of the Yongxing River, and Zhao Xun's army is stationed in various passes along the coast, and the troops are too thin, so he should strongly hope that the guest troops of each county can take on the responsibility of guarding the passes, so as to withdraw the garrisons from all places and concentrate their forces to hold the Yongxing River.

In my opinion, all the guest soldiers were unwilling to leave Zhao Xun's main force too far, so two days later, they would try their best to have a dispute over the garrison pass, so Gongzi bravely went to Wuping to garrison. ”

"Wuping!" Jiang Qian was taken aback, looked at the map and said: "Wuping is sixty miles away from Zhao Xun's camp, if there is wind and grass, not to mention that Zhao Xun is too late to send troops, the Wuping River is narrow, and it is very easy for thieves to cross the river, so it is not a fire." ”

People have the psychology of gathering crowds, and they all think that the closer they are to Zhao Xun's army, the safer they must be, so two days later, the defense meeting, the Qinwang guest army will definitely try their best to compete for the nearest garrison pass from Zhao Xun's army, once the black turban army crosses the river, Zhao Xun's army can rescue as soon as possible.

The Wuping chosen by Luo Songting is sixty miles away from the south of Zhao Xun's camp, and the width of the river is less than 100 meters, which is extremely conducive to the Black Turban Army to cross the river, and is an important pass on the Yongxing River.

Jiang Qian's attitude was very negative, and then Luo Songting said:

"Childe, do you know who is stationed in Tunwuping right now?"

"I don't know, what does it have to do with our army?"

"At present, the general guarding Wuping is the metropolitan governor Zhong Heng, with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and 20,000 soldiers guarding Wuping is not enough to resist the Black Turban Army. If our army is stationed in Wuping, Zhao Xun is very likely to withdraw 10,000 soldiers and horses and continue to order Zhong Heng to assist in the defense.

And Zhong Heng is a general of Zhao Xun's department, in the early years, he was the right governor under his command, and he is familiar with Wei Xian. ”

"Mr. Luo is really a good plan, so even if Wuping is attacked, Zhao Xun will definitely go all out to rescue Wuping."

"Exactly. This matter still needs Wei Xian to lobby Zhao Xun, so that Zhao Xun can agree to the relocation of our army, so that he can also block the mouths of all guest troops and leave no voice for others. ”

"Okay, this son immediately summoned Wei Xian and asked him to lobby Zhao Xun."

"No, this matter should be done in person, and it can only be done by explaining it in detail from the bottom of your heart."

"Why is that?" Jiang Qian was surprised.

"Wei Xian used to be a guest of Zhao Xun, although he worshiped under the lord, but the lord despised him last year, and he must be dissatisfied. How can he, in his power, not know what we are trying to do? If Childe had ordered him, he would probably have obeyed, but what would he think? Therefore, he could only tell him about it in person, so that he would do it willingly. ”

Luo Songting never believed that Bai Liyan would do his best to assist Jiang Min, coupled with Jiang Min's negligence last year, Bai Liyan's heart had changed, if he was ordered to let Bai Liyan do things, it would probably only backfire.

After agreeing with Jiang Qian, Luo Songting went to Wei Xian's camp alone. Seeing that he was wearing strange blue chains with Sikong Nan, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart:

"I don't know what kind of suit Wei Xianfeng is wearing, why is it as weird as a chain?"

Baili Yan wore chain mail and saluted:

"This is chain mail, also known as iron cloth shirt, which has the miraculous effect of invulnerability."

"Iron Shirt?" Luo Songting was secretly shocked, and took a closer look, the iron cloth shirt was connected by a small pale blue ring, and common sense made Luo Songting believe that invulnerability only said that it was indeed possible. He asked again: "This armor was made by Wei Xianfeng?" ”

Wei Xian nodded and said:

"Exactly, I have never taken it out in a big box all the way, and I have to wear it freely today. Luo senior, let's see. ”

When the words fell, Bai Liyan motioned to Sikong Nan to pull out an ordinary iron sword, and slashed his body with three sword techniques: slashing, assassination, and cutting, not only the chain mail was unharmed, because the iron sword texture was ordinary, the chain mail was steel, and under the slashing and stabbing of dozens of swords, the iron sword was completely curled, and the gaps were like sawtooth.

Luo Songting couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it:

"There are such treasures in the world, why didn't Wei Xianfeng dedicate it to the lord early?"

Wei Xian waved his hand and said:

"Mr. Luo thinks that whether the son will wear such a strange armor to charge into battle, and whether everyone will believe in the defensive effect of this armor, I am afraid that it is not bad if he is not reprimanded as an anomaly."

Luo Songting nodded in affirmation when he heard the news:

"That's true, so Wei Xianfeng wants to risk his life to prove that this armor is magical?"

"If you don't try it yourself, how can you convince everyone."
