Chapter 350: Coal

"I'm afraid that the public is here not just to see Han's mansion!" Han Sui's cold gaze fell on Guo Tu, and he said coldly, "Could it be that Fei Fei wants to be a lobbyist?" Han is a minister of Dong Gong, how can he be a person in the morning and evening? ”

"Neither nor not!"

Guo Tu shook his head again and again and said, "Tu came on the orders of the lord, not to be a lobbyist, but actually to save the general's life!" ”

"Hmph~"

Han Sui snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "General Ben has 50,000 Qiang soldiers under his command, such as Cheng Yi, Liang Xing and other generals are all 10,000 enemies, what is the general's life worried about?" ”

Guo Tu smiled sadly: "Wen Yue, I'm afraid that your 50,000 Qiang soldiers are running out of military food, right?" Once the rations are exhausted, will the 50,000 army still be a treaty? At that time, as long as Dong Zhuo takes out the military rations, the 50,000 Qiang soldiers who can fight well will understand their surnames in a blink of an eye, right? ”

Han Sui looked at Guo Tu Senran's eyes full of murderous intent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Guo Tu had no fearless look, and sneered: "Not only that, but this time the table attacked my Huguan, only 60,000 troops were dispatched, and I don't know what the 40,000 troops left behind are guarding against?" Defend against a sneak attack by our army? I think Wenyo knows better than me~"

Yecheng, Yu She's big tent.

Yu Shezheng convened Liao Hua and Cheng Yuanzhi to discuss the matter, and suddenly the junior colonel entered the account and reported urgently: "General, Tanma found the traces of Han Fubing in Ju County." ”

"The enemy is coming so fast!" Yu Shi said awe-inspiringly, "You have already entered Ju County?" ”

"Exactly."

"How many centaurs?"

The colonel said: "There are about 10,000 infantry, and about 2,000 cavalry!" ”

Liao Hua frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Ten thousand infantry, two thousand cavalry? Han Fu is really down! ”

Yu Sheyu hurriedly spread the map on the case, found the location of Ju County from the map, and said to Liao Hua and Cheng Yuanzhi: "Two generals, please see, Ju County is located west of Yecheng, and it is only half a day's journey from Yecheng!" ”

Cheng Yuanzhi's face was gloomy and said: "The enemy army is very likely to attack our army Yecheng tonight, and we need to defend it strictly!" When will the Lord's reinforcements arrive? ”

Yu She's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Calculate the time, the lord's army will take about ten days at the earliest, and there are only five thousand soldiers left in the city, and this battle is difficult to fight~"

Liao Hua said: "General Yu, the enemy army is large, the horse infantry army adds more than 10,000 people, and they are all elite divisions that have been on the battlefield for a long time, if the lord's army can't return in time, only the 4,000 foot soldiers in the city can't hold Yecheng anyway, so please ask the general to immediately arm the people in the city." ”

Yu Shi said in a condensed voice: "Is General Liao Hua going to ask the people in the city to help defend the city?" But they are not trained and may not be able to help. ”

"No~"

Liao Hua said: "It's not that they want to defend the city, our army of 4,000 people will defend it with all their might, and as long as the people in the two cities have strength, they can throw wooden sassers and rolling stones down, and make a fire to boil oil~"

Yu Shi said: "Well, the last general understands, so let's go and gather the strong men of the people in the city!" ”

Huguan, Zhang Bao camp.

The blacksmith who had made a horseshoe for Zhang Bao suddenly walked in and said to Zhang Bao: "General, a good thing, a great thing!" ”

Oh? Zhang Bao, Zhang Lie, and Guo Tu moved their eyes from the map to the blacksmith at the same time, and asked, "What is a good thing?" ”

The blacksmith said, "The villain found two open-pit veins on the edge of the river. ”

"Open pit veins?"

"Exactly, an iron ore vein, a carboniferous vein, two ore veins are almost next to each other, a radius of hundreds of miles and the texture is extremely good! The villain has been a blacksmith for decades, and he has never seen such a spectacular and high-quality open-pit vein! If the general built a smelter by the river, he could mine it on the spot and make iron from coal, and if he had enough manpower, he could smelt a steady stream of fine iron. ”

Zhang Lie and Guo Tu were overjoyed at the same time: "Lord, this is really a great thing!" ”

Zhang Bao was also excited in his heart, but his face was silent and said: "Lao Tie, how many people do you need?" ”

Lao Tie estimated it and replied, "If you can have the help of a thousand soldiers, you can probably refine 100,000 catties of refined iron in a year." ”

Zhang Baodao: "Then the general will give you 5,000 soldiers, all of whom are under your jurisdiction, and you have to go all out for me and refine more refined iron." ”

"The villain obeys." The blacksmith said, "If the general has no other orders, the villain will take his leave." ”

"Well, go ahead."

The blacksmith bowed to Zhang Bao and turned to leave.

"Wait." The blacksmith walked to the tent door, but was called back by Zhang Bao and asked, "What did you just say about the carboniferous vein?" What's that? ”

The blacksmith scratched his head and said, "A charcoal is a charcoal, what else can it be?" ”

Zhang Lie explained: "My lord, the so-called charcoal is a kind of stone that is fragile but can make fire. ”

"A stone that can make a fire?" Zhang Bao rolled his eyes and said in horror, "Is it coal?" ”

"Coal?" This time it was Zhang Lie's turn to be confused, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Coal! Coal? ”

Zhang Bao was like a demon, whispering to himself, while turning and turning in the big tent with his hands, his eyes flickered, as if he was changing his mind sharply, Zhang Lie and Guo Tu didn't know what Zhang Bao was thinking, and they didn't dare to interrupt his train of thought lightly, so they had to look at his figure in a daze.

The last time Huguan a fire burned Chun Yuqiong's troops to lose their armor, the fire used coal, but the coal collection at that time was not enough, so that Chun Yuqiong's army was not burned out, and now found a radius of 100 miles of high-quality coal, if the old trick is repeated, Xiliang Dong Zhuo's army is not all wiped out?

"Smack!"

Zhang Bao suddenly paused, struck each other with his palms, and said quickly: "There is!" ”

"Huh!?"

Zhang Lie and Guo Tu looked suspicious at the same time, even though these two were extremely smart people, they couldn't guess what Zhang Bao was thinking!

Zhang Bao didn't explain to the two, and said with his head held high: "Dian Wei! ”

Dian Wei took a step forward and said sharply: "The end will be." ”

"Quickly summon the generals to come to the big tent to discuss the matter."

"Yes."

Dian Wei clenched his fists and turned around to take the order.

"Lao Tie, come here." When the blacksmith was at a loss, Zhang Bao suddenly beckoned to him, and then said to Guo Tu and Zhang Lie, "Gongze, Tianyi, you also come here." ”

Luoyang, Deyang Palace.

"Report ~~ Duting Hou Gongsun Zhan has this urgent performance~~"

The Huangmen squire held a letter in his hand and hurried into the Golden Palace.

Emperor Han Ling said: "Read! ”

Zhang Rang stepped down the golden steps, took the book from the hand of the Huangmen Shilang and slowly unfolded it, and read unhurriedly in a sharp voice: "In December of the seventh year of Guanghe, the Xianbei leader Kebineng led the Xianbei cavalry army into the frontier, because of the forced withdrawal of Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, more than 20,000 people of my Han Dynasty were slaughtered, and then the original uncle-in-law of my Han Empire raised troops to rebel against the Han, and led 40,000 iron cavalry into Kou and Zhou~~"

Zhang Rang paused when he read this, he didn't dare to read it any more, he didn't dare to read out such a major news in court without His Majesty's permission, in case it caused panic among the courtiers, he couldn't eat and left. Sure enough, Zhang Rang's voice fell, and many civil officials in the court and the central government changed their color and whispered. (To be continued.) )
