Chapter 12: Han Lang is resourceful
Liu Futong and the deputy generals were walking to the county government under the leadership of Han Lin'er and Mao Gui.
On the way, Liu Futong saw the tragic situation in Shouchun City, and saw the smiling faces of the people who vaguely greeted him.
"Red Turban Army, Red Turban Army." A child sings happily on the road.
This is not a kind of oppression, let alone forcible seizure, this is a welcome ceremony from the heart, although it is only from the mouth of a child, but everyone knows that children are the most real, it can be seen how many good things Han Lin'er has done for the people here after coming to Shouchun City.
At this time, Liu Futong had an inexplicable sense of pride, because he finally saw that the "Red Turban Army" gave the people happiness.
Although this is only a short distance, it is enough to see the situation of the world.
When they arrived at the gate of the county office, they couldn't pass together because the door was narrow, and then Han Lin'er smiled and said to Liu Futong: "General Liu, please, this place is simple, and we will have this temporary place to live after we clean it." ”
Liu Futong took advantage of the situation and bent down slightly, stretched out a finger to the county office, and said with a smile: "Han Lang, please first." ”
How dare Han Lin'er not be polite to Liu Futong at this time, all the power is in Liu Futong's hands, not to mention that he has no power, so even if it is such a trivial matter as entering the door, Han Lin'er will not be advanced by himself.
After repeatedly humbling it, Liu Futong responded, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." After speaking, he walked towards the hall, followed by Han Lin'er.
It can be seen from this that although Liu Futong respects Han Lin'er on the surface, Han Lin'er is still young, and if he wants to really surrender, he needs Han Lin'er to have real strength.
When everyone came to the hall one after another, Yang Sanniang also came, and left in a hurry after greeting Liu Futong.
An important person like Liu Futong, Yang Sanniang will inevitably come to say hello, firstly, this is also where the etiquette is, and secondly, he is also telling Liu Futong, "Han Lin'er is the son of King Han Ming, I hope you will support him." ”
After that, everyone sat down one after another, from the city gate to the county office, in fact, Liu Futong has always had a question, that is, how did this city break? How were the Mongol Tatars driven away? He had been thinking about these questions for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity to say them.
"Han Lang, I want to know how you and others broke the Mongolian thousand-man iron horse, and how you captured this Shouchun City." Liu Futong asked with a wistful expression.
So Han Lin'er responded: "This is all the credit of the generals, who used their lives to fight against the Mongol Tatars and finally won the victory." Then he just smiled and said nothing more.
Obviously, Liu Futong didn't believe in such an explanation.
The excited Mao Guiying said: "General, this time I was able to break He Zongzhe's iron cavalry, all because of Han Lang's careful arrangement. ”
"Come quickly, talk about Han Lang's strategy to break the enemy." Liu Futong was so curious, he immediately looked at Mao Gui with both eyes, as if he couldn't wait to know the process of breaking the enemy.
Mao Gui said: "Yes." ”
"That day, due to delay, passing through Anfeng City, resting in the city, at this time, General Liu Qi probed the military situation, the Mongolian Tartars were coming to attack the city, and then Han Lang ordered us to prepare *, elm, iron nails, and make elm cannons." Mao Gui became more and more excited when he said this, but Liu Futong's curiosity was too strong and interrupted Mao Gui.
Asked: "What is an elm cannon, how come I have never heard of it." ”
Looking at Mao Gui's excitement and admiration for himself, Han Lin'er smiled and explained to Liu Futong: "The elm cannon is made of wood that is not too big, with a cannon head and a cannon tail, and the weight is not large, which is suitable for close attacks, and it is relatively simple to do. ”
Hearing this, Hei Hou interjected excitedly: "That day, I and Han Lang and Liu Qi clearly saw the power of the elm cannon on the city tower, only to hear a cannon sound, the Mongolian Tartars who came fell into a piece, and then a cannon sounded, and there were few thousand iron horsemen left, and the fallen soldiers were killed by the iron nails shot by the elm cannon, the power of the cannon was unbelievable, and the battle was enjoyable." ”
Liu Futong and the others had long been accustomed to Hei Hou's big grin, so they didn't care too much about his unprovoked interjection.
After listening to Hei Hou's description, Liu Futong looked at Mao Gui suspiciously, as if asking, "Is this all true?" ”
I saw Mao Gui nodded, and suddenly Liu Futong had a little admiration for the young man in front of him, and thought, "I didn't expect this kid to have such intelligence, not only can lead troops to fight, but also create the magic of this war, which is really admired by General Ben." ”
Immediately, Liu Futong said: "Then what happened later, and how did this Shouchun City be captured?" ”
Mao Gui reported to Liu Futong one by one when He Zongzhe was ambushed and abandoned the city and fled.
I saw that Liu Futong and his lieutenant were all shocked after hearing this.
"Okay, good, good, I didn't expect my Han Lang to be so talented, to be able to win more with less, and to be so resourceful, even if it was me Liu, it would be difficult to defeat Lang Jun, it was really a blessing for my Red Turban Army." Liu Futong said with a laugh.
"Where, where, I'm just a little tricky, how dare I compare with General Liu, it's just tormenting me." Han Lin'er said a little embarrassed.
I saw that everyone in the hall at this time looked at Han Lin'er with admiration, and discussed with each other: "Han Lang is really powerful, he can make an incomparably powerful elm cannon, and he can also defeat the first warrior of Mongolia, he is really a god." ”
Liu Futong also admired Han Lin'er's resourcefulness for a while, so he said to Han Lin'er: "It would be great if we could use this elm cannon on the battlefield, we can easily defeat the Mongolian Tartars, and we don't have to be afraid of that iron horse anymore." ”
Mao Guiying said: "Yes, if this is really the case, the combat effectiveness of our army will be greatly enhanced, and the momentum of our army will also be greatly improved, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." ”
After speaking, he looked at Liu Futong and smiled.
Han Lin'er heard Liu Futong and Mao Gui say this, and thought, "Could it be that Liu Futong wants me to make an elm cannon for him." ”
Sure enough, Liu Futong spoke: "Han Lang, I don't know if this elm cannon can be produced in large quantities, and our army can consolidate its strength and dominate the world as soon as possible." ”
Han Lin'er responded: "Yes, it can be, but this requires special people to manage the production of elm cannons, and special people must be checked separately to prevent the elm cannon from having quality problems and harming itself when it is used, and the secret recipe for making this cannon cannot be revealed, if the enemy knows about it and creates an elm cannon to deal with us, it will be worth the loss." ”
When Han Lin'er said this, he felt that he was a little abrupt just now, wasn't this an indirect request for troops from Liu Futong, and suddenly his heart accelerated and jumped.
"Then please Han Lang, supervise the construction of this elm cannon for us, and say whatever you need." Liu Futong said expectantly.
