Chapter 462: Don't fight uncertain battles

"Do you need to be so mysterious?" Liu Bang looked at the Supreme Treasure who was walking away suspiciously, Xiao He walked up to him and made an explosive explosion for him, accompanied by a "bang" sound, which startled Liu Bang, "What is this?" Xiao He smiled at him without saying a word.

It was already early in the morning when the Supreme Treasure ordered the soldiers to finish transporting saltpeter and sulfur, and some villagers had already come out to the mountains to cut wood and collect medicine. An old man saw that Liu Bang was helping the Flying Tiger Army to transport saltpeter and sulfur, as well as the relocation of the village, and said goodbye to him reluctantly, "Little San'er, where are you going, if you leave, how will our villagers live in the future, who will protect us." Those people in the government are looking at the food and money in our house and want to rob it, if it weren't for your people's protection, they would really be robbed of it, you can't leave us alone! ”

It turns out that Liu Bang is the third in the family, so the old people who know his details affectionately call him Xiao San'er, and it sounds quite awkward when Supreme Bao thinks of the title of modern Xiao San. It seems that although this Liu Bang has a bad reputation in history, he is still very friendly to the people, and he is also very convincing to his brothers, which is still appreciated by the Supreme Treasure.

"Uncle, don't worry, Huaiyue won't let Xiang Yu's people destroy it, I promise you, your life here will get better and better in the future." Supreme Treasure said kindly to the old man.

"Who is this lord?" Seeing an unfamiliar face, and seeing that the people of the Supreme Treasure were still mining saltpeter and sulfur on the mountain, he vigilantly pulled the corner of Liu Bang's clothes and asked.

"Uncle, don't be nervous, this is the general of the Flying Tiger Army, called Supreme Treasure, I won't tell you that now I am also subordinate to the Flying Tiger Army, and it can be regarded as within the establishment, and I am no longer doing unsightly deeds as a bandit on this mountain. This general came to help the people of Huaiyue drive away Xiang Yu's soldiers. Uncle we need these saltpeter and sulfur to be used for a big purpose, and after this place is controlled by us in the future, this general has his own way of teaching everyone to have enough food and clothing, and then you will wait to live a good life! Liu Bang assured the old man.

After listening to what Liu Bang said, the old man was overflowing with joy, and said excitedly: "Little San'er, are you telling the truth?" Since this Southern Chu was controlled by this overlord of Western Chu, we can no longer see any notices of tax reduction and exemption given to us by the emperor today, and the city is full of increased taxes and grain collected for war. If it weren't for the fact that the people in the government hiding in this mountain couldn't find out here, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live anymore. It would be great if you could make a good life for us. Little San'er, Uncle believes in you, you must defeat Xiang Yu, a traitor! ”

Liu Bang and Supreme Treasure both assured the old man that the old man was happy to call out the villagers to give food and clothing to the soldiers, and completely regarded them as saviors.

"Liu Bang, I believe you now, it seems that your popularity here is indeed good. I've officially approved you to bring your men to join our Flying Tigers. Supreme Treasure said to Liu Bang with the eggs and steamed buns that the villagers warmly gave them.

Liu Bang also did not fall short, "Thank you for the general's trust in Liu Bang, I will definitely do my best to make suggestions for the Flying Tiger Army and charge forward." ”

After packing up their things, everyone and the villagers reluctantly waved goodbye and returned to the top of Huiji Mountain. At this time, it is time for the personal display of the Supreme Treasure. Supreme Treasure only let Lu Xiaoyu be his helper, and the others let the Li brothers lead the training method of modern special forces that Lu Xiaoyu had formulated before.

Although Liu Bang and his little minions used to rob houses and houses, they only knew how to do some three-legged cat kung fu, and when they really fought, they were simply abused by the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army who had undergone formal training.

"Brother Li, can you start a little lighter, we can't stand it! Ouch hey, it hurts so much! Liu Bang rubbed his swollen arm that had been trained by Li Da and said.

Li Da said with a smile: "In the past, when the general trained us, it was much stricter than this, so you should practice hard, and then you will know that this is all for your good." It's true that if you are injured now, you won't lose your life on the battlefield in the future. ”

"Okay, Brother Li, let's continue!" Liu Bang gritted his teeth and raised his fists to continue practicing hand-to-hand combat with Li Da, and there were screams from the practice field.

Here, Supreme Treasure has already asked Liu Bang to write a letter to Huaiyue in advance, this person is already Xiang Yu's person, so it is impossible to move him to take the initiative to hand over the city. So the Supreme Treasure came up with a plan to let Zheng Ze be a messenger and send him a letter. The content of the letter was naturally to lure him, saying that Liu Bang had figured it out and would no longer fight with Xiang Yu. He took the initiative to hand over these saltpeters and sulfur from the Huaiyue Mountains as a welcome gift for him to join Xiang Yu's camp.

When the time comes, he will be asked to come over to inspect in person to show his sincerity, and the county commander will definitely be afraid of Liu Bang's fraud and be sent out to protect himself by all the soldiers in Huaiyue City. Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu were leading the Flying Tiger Army and the Mengying Army to make a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and take Huaiyue City directly, and when the county commander reacted that he had been deceived, he was already in a dilemma. Control Huaiyue, and then use this county order to guide the county orders of other Wuyue regions to take the initiative to hand over the city, if they take the initiative to hand it over, they will be fine, if they resist stubbornly, Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu will use the red-clothed cannon they are about to develop to deal with them.

Speaking of this red-coated cannon, the inspiration for the Supreme Treasure is, of course, from the iron cannon of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Didn't Xiang Yu already know how to deal with explosives now? So how can you get the explosives to detonate so quickly that they don't have time to douse them. In addition to reducing the burning length of the lead, which is also a hidden danger for one's own people, it is better to directly create long-range weapons.

Although it was a hundred times more difficult to make this red-clothed cannon than to make this explosive bag, thinking of the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army who were killed by Xiang Yu, Lord Li Mi who died of depression, and the Governor of Zhaozhan, the Supreme Treasure held his breath to make it.

"Uncle, there is not much iron ore that can be used on our mountain, and we really can't get the amount of iron you requested, I think we can't wait until we take Huaiyue City and then search inside, you must have a lot of iron tools and find a lot of blacksmiths." Xiao He, who was in charge of logistics, proposed after hearing the astonishing number of iron raw materials proposed by the Supreme Treasure.

Supreme Treasure shook his head, "The situation is changing rapidly, we can't fight a battle that we are not sure of, especially this first battle must be fought loudly and shockingly. ”
