Bai Qi was not in a hurry to say what he thought, and asked Bai Yunfan with a smile: "I want to hear it, if my brother leads troops to fight against the Huns, how will you fight?" ”

"What? Want to test your brother? Bai Yunfan said.

"I don't dare, I just want to hear what my brother means first." Bai Qidao.

"In that case, I'll talk about it first." Bai Yunfan took a sip, turned around and returned to the desk, walked back and forth a few steps, thought for a moment before saying: "Old Seven, from the perspective of the art of war, the way of using soldiers should be based on righteousness, supplemented by surprise." You should have read all of this in the book, so I won't dwell on it. Let's talk about the specific situation of the state, so that we can have a target. ”

As he spoke, Bai Yunfan took out a map from the table, unfolded it and pointed to the map, "Old Seven, look." Under the Jiezhou system, the border with the Xiongnu and Zhang Chu was Liao County and Yuanhe County, and once the war started, the two places bore the brunt. There are 50,000 soldiers in Jiezhou, and I have put 5,000 infantry in these two counties, and my request to them is to hold back the enemy as much as possible once war breaks out, and at the same time quickly report to Jiezhou. ”

Bai Qi stepped forward and looked at the map, looked at it for a while and frowned: "These two places are 60 miles and 80 miles away from Jiezhou respectively, although it is said that the reinforcements from Jiezhou can arrive in one day, but once the Huns surround and do not fight, and then use the mobility of the cavalry to annihilate the reinforcements in the field, it is impossible for the two cities to hold." ”

"This is what worries me the most, the terrain under the Jiezhou system is plain, which can give full play to the mobility of the cavalry. Once the Huns attacked, I could only abandon these two cities and shrink my forces to hold on to Jiezhou. Secondly, once the Huns attacked, I should clear the wilderness, all the water sources were destroyed, so that the Huns could not find food and drink, so that their supply lines could be greatly extended, and I sent a large number of small teams to attack the supply lines of the Huns, so that the Huns could not attack for a long time, and naturally retreated without a fight. Bai Yunfan finished talking about his strategy in one breath, and Bai Qi immediately smiled when he heard it: "Brother can think like this, I am so relieved, even if the Huns come over, my brother will be fine for a year and a half." ”

Bai Yunfan was not too happy, but said with a wry smile: "In this way, the people everywhere will definitely suffer, and there is one more thing that I am most worried about." ”

Bai Qi listened and asked with a puzzled face, "What are you worried about?" ”

Bai Yunfan didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Bai Qi first, and then said: "In the 30th year of King Youwang of the former Zhou Dynasty, 200,000 iron horsemen of the Huns came to attack, and the famous general Zhang Kezhi of the former Zhou Dynasty led 300,000 troops to the Imperial Palace, and the two sides fought in Jinyang. Zhang Kezhi could not hold out, and the Hun army circled outside the city for half a year, and finally did not return. ”

The battle recorded in this paragraph made Bai Qi, who had spent a lot of time understanding the world, understand Bai Yunfan's worries at once. Zhang Kezhi did not end well in the end, the Huns tried their best to break through the Jinyang Xiongguan, but because the former Zhou emperor was moved by the eunuchs around him, he continuously issued an order to force Zhang Kezhi to send troops to pursue the Huns, and the result can be imagined, the former Zhou army, which was dominated by infantry, suffered a devastating blow from the Hun cavalry in the field. Thirty miles outside the city of Jinyang, more than 200,000 Zhou soldiers fell under the bows and arrows and sabers of the Xiongnu army, which was known as "the difficulty of Jinyang" in history.

And Jinyang City is now called Jiezhou.

Bai Qi, who understood Bai Yunfan's worries, explained: "Brother, don't worry about this, the current lord is not the former Zhou Emperor, besides, even in the wild, we are not without a way to fight against the Huns." ”

Bai Yunfan heard this and said with a smile: "I know that Lao Qi has a lot of ideas, don't hide them, I have been going around for a long time, I just want to tell me this, hurry up and explain." ”

Bai Qi was not wordy, and said with a smile: "The cavalry has an obvious advantage in the field, but we can make some fuss about the equipment of the infantry, the younger brother thought about it for a few days, combined with some of the master's teachings, and came up with some things, these things can greatly improve the combat ability of the infantry against the cavalry, but if you want to produce these things, you have to cooperate vigorously, brother." ”

Bai Qi raised the signboard of Izumoko, which immediately increased his credibility and increased Bai Yunfan's confidence.

"What cooperation do you want, just say it, and my brother will try his best to satisfy you." Bai Yunfan was a little impatient to know what kind of medicine Bai Qi was selling in the gourd.

"First of all, I need a big workshop, the specific location, brother, you go to find it first, and I will decide when I find more places, secondly, I also need a large number of craftsmen, the more blacksmiths and carpenters, the better, and select a group of skilled and experienced masters, I have some things that are still only in the conception, and I need to discuss with them. I believe that once these things I conceived are produced in large quantities, even if our infantry encounters the Huns in the field in the future, even if we can't win, we will still have the strength to fight and die. ”

Out of trust in Bai Qi, coupled with Bai Qi's recent excellent performance, Bai Yunfan agreed without any more consideration: "Leave everything to my brother, but all this will have to wait for you to come back from the capital to make a final decision." Seventh, how sure are you that you can properly handle this matter during your trip to the capital? This is what Bai Yunfan is most worried about now.

"Brother, relax, I have my own solution to the affairs of the capital, and I guarantee that there is no problem at all." In fact, Bai Qi's words are also comforting Bai Yunfan, although Bai Qi himself has nothing to worry about, he really can't just leave, but he is afraid of affecting others, sometimes he still has his own responsibilities, blindly evading and shirking responsibility, after all, it is not a gentleman, although Bai Qi does not think that he is a gentleman, but he is also unwilling to be a villain.

"Lao Qi, it's also interesting to say, the two Bai and Su families, who were originally incompatible, have been surprisingly cooperating recently because of you, and they are much more polite to each other, at least on the surface. Another thing I said you shouldn't be angry, my father actually said in the letter, let me find someone to draw a portrait of you to take back, he said that he didn't even remember what you looked like. ”

Bai Yunfan's words made the whole scene suddenly dull, and Bai Qi could only shake his head with a wry smile when he heard it. Yes, the status of a child born to a maid in the Bai family is really insignificant, if it weren't for Xue Crimson and Su Xiangyun, it is estimated that in the Bai family, there is no difference between having yourself and not having yourself. Fate is so strange, Bai Qi, who originally wanted to be an ordinary person, was still pushed to the foreground by fate and pushed to a position on the cusp.

Bai Qi hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Brother, I will pull this matter down, won't he see it when I go back." I'll let you see something first, you'll be happy to see it. Said that this Bai Qi took out a few spherical objects from his arms, not something else, it was a thunderbolt made by Izumoko.

The appearance of the black thunderbolt looks inconspicuous at all, Bai Yunfan is also strange when he sees it, where did Bai Qi get this thing, and he also said that he will be happy when he sees it.

"What is this? Old Seven. ”

"This is my master's exclusive invention, the name is Thunderbolt, after the explosion, it is powerful, it can be said to be a favorable weapon for infantry against cavalry." Speaking of which, this thunderbolt is filled with black powder at most, compared to the *** that Bai Qi has seen, as well as the nuclear weapons on TV in the previous life, this thing is simply pediatrics, but in this year, gunpowder is undoubtedly a shocking thing, and the lethality of weapons made of gunpowder is undoubtedly absolutely leading, and it can also be said to be the ancestor of hot weapons.

Speaking of which, it is not difficult to get gunpowder out, but Bai Qi is still a little contradictory in his heart, in the history of the previous life, the progress of mankind has always been accompanied by war, and the place where various new technologies are first used is also in war, and now that he uses gunpowder in war, will this world also develop to the point where nuclear weapons can destroy the world countless times after N years? White Seven doesn't know, but at least it's a big trend.

However, at the moment, Bai Qi has not many choices, after all, gunpowder already exists objectively, even if he doesn't use it first, there will always be someone who will use it in the future, and what he did was just to let gunpowder play a role in the war earlier.

Of course, Bai Qi can't say that he can make gunpowder, and even the gunpowder he makes is better than what Izumo makes himself, so Bai Qi can't explain it. With the Izumoko banner to resist, it really saved Bai Qi a lot of trouble.

"Old Seven, is this thing as effective as you say?" Bai Yunfan is still a little uneasy, after all, judging from the appearance alone, this is an iron lump, nothing special.

"Hehe, tomorrow, when you finish negotiating with Sister Nalan, I'll show you the power of this thing."

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The time of the night passed quickly in the brothers' reminiscences, and they didn't know how long it was, nor how much wine they drank, nor when they went down, and when Bai Qi woke up again, it was already afternoon.

"Where's the big brother?" After waking up from a hangover, the first thing Bai Qi asked was this.

Qin Yushu, who was waiting on the side, replied with a little dissatisfaction: "You person, it's right to be happy when you see your eldest brother, but you can't drink so much wine, your eldest brother is the same as you, and he hasn't woken up, and the Nalan girl is still waiting to talk to the eldest brother about the grain business." Also, although Bingyan's sister-in-law didn't say anything, but seeing that the eldest brother drank too much and his worried look, I was anxious when I saw it, and you are not allowed to do this in the future. ”

Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, woman! Woman! How can sometimes it be a thing that goes up and down the assembly line, sometimes things between men, women will never understand, even Qin Yushu is not exempt from vulgarity.

Bai Qi didn't say anything, he began to think about other things in his mind, and seeing that Bai Qi didn't listen to his words at all, Qin Yushu's expression began to darken, and he closed his mouth very consciously.

The sun outside the window seemed very warm, but Qin Yushu's eyebrows showed a trace of helpless gloom, which flashed by.
