"Lord Wang, the intelligence from Shaanzhou has been sent back." In the camp tent, Qiao Xinchao took an envelope from a soldier outside the door and carefully handed it to Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan took the envelope, removed the fire paint on it, took out the letter, and browsed it carefully, his expression was happy for a while, worried for a while, which made the generals below also frightened.

"Lord Wang, how is it?" The bearded man was the first to hold back and asked in a low voice.

"Huh? Oh, nothing, it's not bad. Zhao Fan paused for a moment, then reacted, put the letter on the table, and said slowly, "Now it's basically certain, let's fight Shaanzhou City." ”

When the generals heard this, their faces were full of joy and eager to try.

In fact, attacking Shaanzhou City, Zhao Fan was also well thought-out, first of all, in terms of distance, Shaanzhou City is only 150 kilometers away from Luoyang City, which is a more suitable target in terms of distance, and on the other hand, taking Shaanzhou City can not only avoid Luoyang City being surrounded by people on three sides and the situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy, but also connect Luoyang and Chang'an to the city, so as to gain the support of those royalists in the imperial capital, after all, he is now the regent of the Eight Classics.

Another point is that he also wants to take the opportunity to drive away Zhu Gui and the puppet emperor who occupy Chang'an, and then take his cheap brother back, which is very meaningful to Zhao Fan.

"Lord Wang, attacking Shaanzhou, the last general and the broken military camp are willing to be the vanguard." Ma Jianying stood up for the first time and asked for battle.

"Lord Wang, you should let me go, General Ma, you have just arrived in Luoyang, you should stay in Luoyang to rest well, just leave this kind of rough work to me to do." Not to be outdone, the bearded man stood up and said.

"Okay, bearded, don't make trouble, the main task of your Shenji Battalion is to defend Luoyang, you know, the security of the Eastern Capital is in your hands, I think our Shenyong Battalion is the most suitable, this winter, there is no place to Tuntian, brothers always have to go out for activities." Scar also stirred up, squinting his eyes and saying.

"Lord Wang, the god has given the camp to fight, these recruits should also be pulled out to see blood, training alone is useless." Zhao Wei said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"No matter what, our personal guard camp will follow the prince, and we will go wherever the prince goes." Xu Yong said gloatingly.

"Hey, I said brothers, you're not very kind like this! After we broke the barracks and formed an army, we have never pulled out, and if you fight with me again, I will be anxious with you! Ma Jianying saw that this situation seemed wrong, and hurriedly argued.

"Okay, don't fight." Zhao Fan saw that everyone's argument was getting more and more intense, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"At present, there are 12,000 defenders in Shaanzhou City, and Wu Min, the defender of the city, is also Sun Ru's confidant, and he can be described as a bitter enemy for us. Moreover, this time the enemy is on the defensive, occupying a great advantage, and our own forces are relatively thin, so we must be careful and careful. ”

"The bearded man obeys orders!"

"The last general!"

"You lead the Shenji Battalion and are responsible for the defense of Luoyang."

"The last will obey." The bearded man was stunned when he heard this, his face was bitter, and he said reluctantly. ”

Zhao Fan patted the bearded man on the shoulder and said slowly, "Bearded, defending Luoyang is a very important task, my net worth and life, and the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City, will be handed over to you, if Luoyang is lost, I will not even have a place to stay." ”

"The last general understands!" The bearded man was stunned, and he also figured out that Zhao Fan left himself in Luoyang City out of trust in himself, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Scar, you are responsible for moving the people near Luoyang City into the city, avoiding the troubles of war, and returning to the city during the spring ploughing season, Doctor Qiao, you are responsible for cooperating with this matter." Zhao Fan paused and continued to arrange.

"The last general obeys!"

"Obedience!"

"General Ma, General Zhao, the two of you led the god-given camp and the broken army camp to prepare for a surprise attack on Shaanzhou."

"The last general obeys!"

"The last general obeys!"

Zhao Wei and Ma Jianying glanced at each other, and both of them saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes, and responded loudly.

"Generals, you must keep in mind the eight disciplines, and you must not defy the law." Zhao Fan slapped the table and said to everyone seriously, "All those who violate the ban are just like this case!" ”

Zhao Fan rushed out of the long sword, and with a single sword, the long case was cut in half.

"The last general knows."

"Don't worry, my beard can't do that kind of heartless thing."

"If I dare to break the rules of the barracks, the last general will be the first to twist his head off."

Seeing that Zhao Fan was serious, everyone responded, patting their chests and reassuring.

"Okay, you just have the bottom in your heart, let's go, go to the school field, I'll show you a baby." Zhao Fan nodded, and then said a little mysteriously.

……

On the school field, Fu Qinghe led someone to push a big car, and was constantly moving the iron balls on the car down one by one, the iron balls were round on the outside, the surface was a little rough, and it didn't look like the workmanship was good, about the size of a fist, Fu Qinghe carefully held the iron ball, just like holding his daughter-in-law.

"Lord Wang!" When Fu Qinghe saw Zhao Fan and the others, he greeted him from afar.

"General Fu, don't be polite, how are you preparing?" Zhao Fan waved his hand and motioned for Fu Qinghe to relax.

"Lord Wang, everything is ready, this time we drove out more than sixty thunderbolts, enough for the rebels to drink a pot." Fu Qinghe took out an iron ball from behind him and said cautiously, "According to the prince's orders, this thunderbolt is a shell made of pig iron, which is full of iron nails and splinters. ”

"Lord Wang, this is the baby you said?" The bearded fox looked at the iron ball in Fu Qinghe's hand suspiciously, and wanted to take it and take a look, but Fu Qinghe quickly dodged it.

"Bearded General, this thing can't be messed around." Fu Qinghe patted the bearded bear paw and said helplessly.

"Hey, you!"

"Alright, don't make a fuss." As soon as the bearded man wanted to speak, Zhao Fan raised his hand to stop him.

"General Fu, order one, try the power."

"Yes!" Fu Qinghe nodded, took the torch from a soldier next to him, put the iron ball in his hand on the torch and roasted it, only to see a burst of sparks coming out of the iron ball, it was really the fuse.

Seeing this, Fu Qinghe hurriedly threw it hard, and threw the ball iron far away, at least seventy or eighty paces away, and landed in the straw man pile where the soldiers practiced assassination.

"What are you doing, smashing people with this iron ball?" The bearded man muttered with an unhappy face.

The people on the side were also puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Fan's gourd.

"Boom!"

While everyone was puzzled, the iron ball in the distance made a loud noise, and a large ball of sparks rose into the air, enveloping the surrounding several steps, and countless iron nails and fragments were shot out of the sparks, hitting the straw men within a dozen steps around.

"Protect the prince!" Xu Yong was startled and hurriedly blocked in front of Zhao Fan.

The soldiers of the personal guard battalion who were waiting outside the field hurriedly rushed in with their weapons and protected Zhao Fan and the others in the center.

"Alright, alright, I'm fine." Zhao Fan couldn't help but push away Xu Yong who was blocking him with a smile on his face, and he was quite moved in his heart.

"Guys, what's going on, that's what I'm talking about." Zhao Fan patted Fu Qinghe's shoulder, and proudly pointed to the iron balls in the box and said.

Everyone followed the direction Zhao Fan pointed, looked at the remaining iron balls in the box, their faces were red with excitement, and their eyes began to glow green when they looked at Fu Qinghe.

Fu Qinghe only felt a chill on his back, and hurriedly subconsciously tightened his chrysanthemum......
