After sending Lei Tingjin away, Kong Sheng rushed into the bedroom alone and fell asleep. From the afternoon until the next morning, I slept for more than ten hours.

Since leaving Jiangning, there have been constant turmoil along the way, Kong Sheng's mind has been highly tense, and he has not relaxed for a moment, but now after arriving in Suiyang, he can be regarded as barely settling down.

The water in Suiyang is far deeper than Kong Sheng imagined. Moreover, it is still a pool of muddy waters.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, in fact, the water is too mixed and it is not easy to raise fish.

Kong Sheng got up, because there was no one in the house, so Wu Xian and Wujie temporarily acted as servants. The diet of these years is very simple and vulgar, especially in a place like Suiyang, where material conditions are extremely scarce, and it is impossible to pay attention to it.

After eating Zhang Bangbang's Hu Biscuits and drinking a bowl of unpalatable minced meat, Kong Sheng heard the whirring sound of martial arts practice in the courtyard, so he grabbed his Fang Tian halberd and walked out of the bedroom.

Although he has not yet reached the point where a halberd is broken in a halberd, as a means of self-defense, most weapons never leave his body.

A red shadow rolled in the courtyard, and the sword light was like a rainbow. Kong Sheng's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Nie Chuchen's swordsmanship to be so clever, it seemed that it was not much worse than her archery skills.

As if sensing Kong Sheng's arrival, Nie Chuchen snorted lightly and pulled a beautiful sword flower, gathered his body and stood up, looking at Kong Sheng with a slight gasp, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from his delicate forehead.

She is so partial to red. It seems that every outfit of hers is in red, worn on her body, which sets off her fiery figure to the fullest. In fact, it is Nie Chuchen's graceful figure and amorous appearance. This red dress looks very coordinated on the body. If other vulgar women blindly wear red clothes, they can only give people the impression that they are vulgar.

"Senior Sister Nie's swordsmanship is also so skillful, which is an eye-opener for Kong Sheng." Kong Sheng clenched his fists and smiled.

Nie Chuchen laughed coquettishly: "Kong Sheng, you don't have to be hypocritical, no matter how clever your tricks are, they are not as good as your natural divine power." The so-called one force down ten will probably be this reason. By the way, you don't want to learn archery. I can teach you. ”

Kong Sheng snorted, he was indeed very interested in Nie Chuchen and Nan Jiyun's magical archery method of chasing the stars and taking the moon with arrows, if the two armies were in confrontation, the crossbow arrow, as a long-range weapon, could exert irreplaceable lethality. At the very least, you can protect yourself.

Kong Sheng also had the idea of inventing firearms to promote the process of transforming from cold weapons to hot weapons in this era, but considering that in troubled times, there was no time, no resources, and no energy to do it, so he put it on hold for the time being.

As a time-traveler of modern civilized society, if Kong Sheng wants to be an industrial creator, inventor or even an reformer of political society in Datang, it is actually no less difficult than reversing his fate in Jiangning and turning the tide in Suiyang. Even more.

Therefore, it may be that Kong Sheng has a lot of ideas and a lot of ideas. But it can't be put into practice for a while. At present, the most urgent task is how to revitalize the dead chess game of Suiyang and Henan Province.

Kong Sheng and Nie Chuchen went out of the house to learn archery outside the city, and the news soon spread to the high-level officials in Suiyang. Xu Yuan and Yao, as allies of common advance and retreat, are currently very concerned about Kong Sheng's movements. Of course, the most concerned is Zhang Xun and his hardcore subordinates.

Zhang Xun lives in Taishou Mansion, which can be regarded as occupying Nestle. The yamen where he works is the Taishoufu Yamen, and under the banner of facilitating work, he occupies Xu Yuan's territory. Xu Yuanming gave in, of course he was uncomfortable.

Zhang Kui hurriedly walked into the back hall of the Taishou Mansion, and bowed to Zhang Xun who was sitting on the Taishi's chair with a smile: "See uncle!" ”

Zhang Kui is Zhang Xun's cousin, and he is still within the five suits, which is known to everyone in Suiyang City. It's just that in public official occasions, Zhang Xun never allowed Zhang Kui to be called his uncle, and only dared to call him that way in private.

Zhang Xun darkened his face and glanced at Zhang Kui. He is actually not very satisfied with this cousin, Zhang Kui is vulgar, if he is not able to charge into battle, at present, Suiyang is employing people again, Zhang Xun is afraid that he would have sent him back to his hometown a long time ago.

"Looking for me?" Zhang Xun said lightly, and slowly put down the tea cup in his hand.

"Uncle, that Kong Sheng went out of the city early this morning, and his appearance is suspicious, do you want me to send a few people to keep an eye on him." Zhang Kui whispered.

Zhang Xun frowned and waved his hand: "He is an official of the imperial court, and Suiyang belongs to the Songcheng County Order, can he still have the freedom to enter and leave the city?" You are a military general in the army, don't meddle in your affairs and cause trouble for your own officials. Okay, Zhang Kui, you go and report to Xu Taishou and the others, and the official will be promoted to the court. ”

Zhang Kui didn't dare to say more, so he retreated.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xun beat the drums to gather the generals and ascend to the hall to discuss matters, as the highest military and political chief in Suiyang, he has the right to do so at any time. And Suiyang's civil and military personnel, no one can disobey the order, otherwise it will be disobedient.

When Kong Sheng arrived, he was sweating all over, dressed in a cyan suit, carrying a longbow, and didn't have time to change his official clothes. He had just learned archery from Nie Chuchen outside the city, and when he was in high spirits, he suddenly received a message from the herald, hurried back to the city, and directly entered the hall of the Yamen of the Taishou Mansion.

The longbow he was carrying was a very eye-catching, a special non-traditional military bow, with a longer body than an ordinary longbow, a gold thread wound around the back, and a double set of ox tendons for the bowstring. This was still when he was in Pengcheng, and the six-stone bow that the county lord of Fengyang specially made for craftsmen to tailor considering his amazing strength can be said to be very rare.

One stone is one hundred and twenty catties, and a six-stone bow requires at least seven hundred and twenty catties of strength to pull it up. And to use it freely, the power is even greater. Such an amazing power bow and arrow can only be used by Kong Sheng, and it can be imagined how amazing the power should be.

Nan Jiyun saw him come in with such a long bow on his back, and his heart was shocked, he was a person who knew the goods, and he could see at a glance that this bow was extraordinary. In fact, these people present, including Zhang Xun, can go into battle to kill the enemy, and they all have some eyesight, seeing Kong Sheng carrying such a long bow, they all remembered his courage yesterday, and secretly gasped, and their eyes looking at him became awe-inspiring.

Zhang Kui wanted to open his mouth to provoke Kong Sheng, because Kong Sheng entered the hall to discuss matters, and he was wearing a bow and arrow without official clothes, which obviously did not understand the rules. But seeing Kong Sheng's majestic longbow on his back, thinking of his unstoppable halberd like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves yesterday, he was afraid in his heart, and he began to be stunned and didn't dare to speak again.

In fact, Kong Sheng didn't understand the rules, but did it on purpose.

He stood at the foot of the hall and clasped his fists to Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan: "Zhang Zhongcheng, Xu Taishou, the lower officials are practicing arrows outside the city, and suddenly received a notice of deliberation, and it is too late to go back to the house to change clothes, there is rudeness, please forgive the two adults!" ”

Xu Yuan smiled slightly: "There is a reason for the incident, and in the time of war, there is no need for the Kong County Order to be constrained in these subsections." This official looks at the bow ordered by Kong County, the weight should not be light, how many stone bows? ”

Kong Sheng smiled slightly, untied the bow and put it on the side: "The six-stone bow was given by the county lord of Fengyang in Pengcheng that day. ”

Xu Yuan gasped, and all the generals present were secretly frightened. Even Nan Jiyun, who was good at bows and arrows, had a shiny light in his eyes and looked deeply at Kong Sheng's bow.

He made the three-stone bow, but he didn't expect that Kong Shengnian was not as strong as the weak crown, but his strength was twice as strong. Such a brave young man is not much different from Wei Huai Wang Xuanba back then.

Destiny!

Lei Wanchun sighed in his heart.

The corners of Zhang Xun's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and said: "Kong County Ling is born with divine power, bravery, both civil and military, with a young hero like you coming to Suiyang to help us defend the city, Your Majesty really knows people today." Okay, sit down and talk. ”

Kong Sheng smiled and sat in an empty seat at the bottom of Xu Yuan's side, which was clearly reserved for him.

In Suiyang's current situation, there is not much government affairs, and the main thing is combat readiness and military readiness. Zhang Xun listened to the reports of Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, and other generals on the reorganization of the armed forces one by one, and as soon as the conversation changed, he turned the topic around to the current urgent problem of insufficient grain and grass in Suiyang.

Suiyang has less than 7,000 regular troops, and with the irregular civilian armed forces, it is less than 10,000 people. And Suiyang City has hundreds of people, hundreds of households, and thousands of people. More than 20,000 soldiers and civilians want to eat and drink, but there are only 10,000 catties of grain in the city, that is, more than 1.2 million catties, and according to the calculation of at least one catty of rations a day for one person, it will last for 60 days at most.

This is still because of the great victory of Ningling, Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun defeated the Yang Dynasty and recaptured some of the grain and grass, otherwise, the situation would be more difficult.

Zhang Xun's strategy was to cut down on food and clothing, plus borrow grain, and stick to the help.

Kong Sheng was very unimpressed by this, and he sat there quietly and listened for a long time, and gradually understood that Zhang Xun urgently recruited him into the palace to discuss the idea of asking him to go to Pengcheng to borrow grain.

Zhang Xun has been asking Peng Cheng for help and food, but Li Ju, the king of Qiu, has never responded. In Zhang Xun's opinion, since Kong Sheng has a great relationship with King Yu's family, let him borrow grain. Kong Sheng is not against borrowing grain, but he also knows a little about the situation in Pengcheng, Li Ju does not have much grain in stock at present, and he is too busy to take care of himself, how can he be willing to support the Suiyang War of Resistance?

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Xun's words came out, Kong Sheng decisively refused: "Zhang Zhongcheng, it is basically not feasible to go to Pengcheng to borrow food for help, it is not a subordinate official to disobey the order, it is really impossible to do anything, and the forcible behavior can only run in vain." ”

Zhang Xun's face sank: "Kong County Order, since His Royal Highness King Yu has a great appreciation for you, it is most suitable for you to go to Pengcheng to borrow food for help on behalf of Suiyang, why do you want to refuse?" Well? After you, a subordinate officer of Suiyang, took office, you repeatedly resisted the military orders of this official, did you really think that this official would not be engaged in military law? ”

As soon as Zhang Xun said this, he buttoned a big hat over, if Kong Sheng didn't obey, it would be disobedience, and he couldn't say anything anyway.

Kong Sheng let out a sigh of relief and said, "Zhang Zhongcheng, the lower official is from Pengcheng, and he knows that Pengcheng's grain and grass are also very nervous. The county lord of Fengyang went to Jiangnan to raise grain and grass, but he only had 100,000 Hu, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Pengcheng, this grain and herb is a drop in the bucket.
