According to the emperor's orders, Sun Xingyou immediately ordered the emperor's orders.

Under the bright lights, gunpowder began to be made in the armor workshop.

The tables and floors were crowded with the raw materials for making gunpowder, and the craftsmen were sweating and their hands were arranging the proportions of gunpowder, the importance of which was obvious, and the proportions could not be mismatched in the slightest, and they had to be careful not to make any mistakes in the process of arrangement.

A large number of craftsmen began to work, and the whole armor workshop was a busy scene

A night has passed, Zhao Kuangyin and others have been thinking and meditating all night in the mansion, and the candle flame has already left a bottom, because no one cares about it, the big lamp flower has formed a huge black flower, and the lamp oil inside is pouring down. Come out, flow everywhere.

"It's time for the officials to have breakfast." At this time, Zhang Dejun pushed the door in from the outside, and then raised his hand.

Zhao Kuangyin saw that all the generals were in the hall, and he felt a little hungry in his stomach, so he instructed Zhang Dejun: "Zhang Daguan, tell the fire head to cook some porridge." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Dejun retreated.

The steaming gruel has been served, Zhao Kuangyin only drank a bowl of gruel, and hurriedly changed into a round-necked robe, he wanted to go to the armor workshop to see the work of the craftsmen, and then he and Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others went to the nail making workshop.

The armor workshop is located at the end of the city that is connected to Yishui, which is a bit remote and there are very few residential buildings nearby.

At present, the morning light has risen, and the surrounding vision has also broadened a lot, although the cold wind has blown all night, the temperature is a little low this morning, and the surrounding greenery seems to be a little lacking in power, but Yizhou City has begun to be busy.

Yizhou, a border town across the Song-Liao border, is now facing the battle between the Song and Liao, and now it is in full swing, but it is high-willed.

On the streets, the Song army was patrolling the city, they were wearing strong and stubborn, holding weapons in their hands and walking through the streets, all of them were full of energy and enthusiasm, and they seemed to be fearless of Khitan and life and death.

As for the armor-making workshop, the craftsmen are busy at the moment, and Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others beside him are watching inside.

"Who are you waiting for? It's not for you to wait for idle people to come in! An official wearing a cyan round-necked robe hurriedly blocked in front of Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Bin and others, he spread his limbs, and his body was like a small and delicate bird.

Zhao Kuangyin and a few others were a little surprised when they saw the Tsing Yi soap boots official standing in front of the two, but the Tsing Yi soap boots official waved his hand and said, "The weapons are heavy, why don't you leave quickly." ”

"What a stunned young man." Cao Bin pursed his lips and said, he just wanted to inform this official of Zhao Kuangyin's identity, but Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand, and then said that he was only responsible, but he came to see the situation here.

It wasn't until Sun Xingyou appeared in the armor workshop that he muttered a few words in the official's ear, and the official's face was red, and then he apologized for his sins and then retreated.

"This person has two strokes, although his temperament is a little stubborn." Zhao Kuangyin said in his heart, "If you are categorical and will not be ambiguous in the matter of governance, there are not many people who are so honest and honest." ”

"What do the officials think of this?" Sun Xingyou pointed to the craftsmen and gunpowder.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the busy craftsmen, he picked up some of the gunpowder they had mixed from the table, and said, "As long as the ratio of gunpowder is right, as for other things such as bed crossbows, divine arm bows, etc., I don't know what to do?" ”

Hearing Zhao Kuangyin mention the bed crossbow and the divine arm bow, Sun Xingyou said: "The minister has sent some craftsmen to step up the production of bows and crossbow instruments and other things, and it will be enough in two or three days." ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment, suddenly a general came from outside, and then saw Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the capital." ”

Zhao Kuangyin got the letter from the general, and then opened the letter, and saw that it was a letter from Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, which only mentioned some suggestions for the Liao army and measures to be taken against the Liao army. Such as the siege of the city, the temperament of the enemy generals, the problems within the enemy army, etc., are clear.

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin got this letter, he admired his son's ability very much, he was clearly organized, combined with internal and external, and the situation of the enemy and himself was really rare.

This is Zhao Kuangyin but has doubts, Zhao Dezhao is not in Jinpoguan and Yizhou, but he knows everything here very well, as if he has guessed everything and controls the entire weather in his own hands.

At the moment, the weather is gradually getting warmer, which is also conducive to combat. On the one hand, Zhao Kuangyin said that his son's strength has increased a lot over the years, and he doesn't know how many talents he has recruited, Zhao Kuangyin is a little happy and a little blushing.

Another thing, that is, Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi in Kaifeng City have different political views, and there are many personal grievances, this matter has existed in all dynasties, Zhao Kuangyin feels that when he is the emperor, he should hold great power and maintain the stability of the power in the DPRK, and the disagreement between Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi is also a good thing, as long as it is controlled within his own scope.

The craftsmen in the armor workshop also worked non-stop, they did not know that the person passing by them was His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but they knew that if they did not work hard, Yizhou City would become the target of Khitan invasion again.

There are many craftsmen who come in and out, and saltpeter and other things are also made into balls according to the process, and then placed in a ventilated and dark place to dry, Zhao Kuangyin looked at all this with satisfaction, and he was also looking forward to a battle with the Liao people in his heart.

Zhao Kuangyin and the others stayed in the armor workshop for a while, and then got up and went to Yizhou City to inspect the city defense.

The entire Yizhou city began to mobilize, the forbidden army soldiers and the local defenders of Yizhou all stepped up their patrols to inspect the city defense, and the Song army scouts outside the city of Yizhou were also looking around to find out the local military situation, and they were followed by 30,000 Song army soldiers, the Longxiang army, the Hujie army and the control crane army were gathering troops and going to Jinpo Pass, they hid their traces, did not take the ordinary official road, and changed to the road deep in the mountains and old forests, in order not to let the enemy find their traces

In Jinpo Pass, Xiao Siwen and Gao Xun stayed up all night last night, and they sent an additional 10,000 troops in Jinpo Pass early this morning to prevent the Song army from suddenly attacking this pass.

Xiao Siwen stared at the black circles under his eyes and Gao Xun and the two inspected the streets, and saw that the Liao army was patrolling the city, and they were also comforted, but there were many broken houses in Jinpo Pass, because it was wartime, and the Liao army did not plan to repair these houses damaged by the war, and they did not have the energy to get these for the time being.

When they saw that they were almost ready, they went back to their houses to sleep.

"Stay behind, we went to Lin Ya this morning, but we didn't see Lin Ya." The Lin Ya in the mouth of the Liao army general is Nuli.

When Xiao Siwen heard this, he paused, and then said: "This person disappeared before the war, you can send some more people to find it." ”

"Yes."

In the Jinpo Inn, after using the facial wash and breakfast, Leng Wu changed into a round-necked men's clothes, came out of the Jinpo Inn with Yang Zan, and went straight to a tea shop in Jinpo Kanto.

At the end of the day, the Qing guests pushing the ox cart passed in front of the wine shop, and the customers also stepped into the tea shop.

The whole building gradually began to be lively, although Jinpo Pass is now occupied by the Liao army, but because of Xiao Siwen's strict order, there is no disturbance of the people in this Xiongguan like other places, but all kinds of houses are damaged, the roads are all dirt roads, and there are only some simple fences around the town.

"Qingpu Tea Shop." Leng Wu raised his head and pointed to the tea shop in front of him, this tea shop is not good-looking, and Xiao Er at the door is already greeting guests.

Yang Zan didn't say much, he looked around vigilantly, and then saw a familiar figure walking into the inn, and then he said to Leng Wu beside him: "Leng Wu, you see that person is the black-clothed leader." ”

Leng Wu didn't see the black-clothed Tanhua, but looked towards the place indicated by Yang Zan, and then nodded.

Under the leadership of Yang Zan, the two have gone up to the second floor of Qingpu Tea Shop.

Xiao Er of Qingpu Tea Shop immediately brought tea and water, and when he raised his eyes, he leaned into Yang Zan's ear and said a few words.

Yang Zan looked appreciative and nodded.

Xiao Er left, Yang Zan leaned over, and then whispered a few words in Leng Wu's ear, "Go to the wing." ”

Leng Wu nodded, and the two went to the designated room.

This wing room is a little mysterious and hidden in the whole Qingpu tea shop.

Inside, there was already a person sitting there cross-legged, he was wearing a dark cloud pattern collared robe today, he saw Yang Zan and Leng Wu, and immediately got up from the couch.

"Yang Zan has seen the black-clothed commander." Yang Zan arched his hand.

"Now that the situation is urgent, don't worry about any etiquette." The black-clothed Tanhua then began to tell Yang Zan and Leng Wu all the actions in the entire Jinpo Pass.

"In the past few days, I have inquired about some situations, and I heard that this Liao people are internally unstable, and one person has left Jinpo Pass, and that person knows many secrets in the Khitan army."

"Oh?" Yang Zan and Leng Wu said suspiciously.

The black-clothed Tanhua said: "That person has been detained in the cellar by us, and I already know where the enemy's grain is stored in Jinpo Pass."

Leng Wu was a little emotional when she heard this, she also hated the Khitan people to the core, and she couldn't wait to kill a few Khitans immediately, this period of time was suppressed in her chest for a long time, at this moment her chest was undulating, and her two eyes were also shining, when she heard this, she made up her mind again and again, and a plan came to her mind.

"The Lord has also arranged a lot of secret agents in this Jinpo Pass, we only need to set a fire in the pass to burn the grain and grass of the Liao people, and then let the Liao people have no grain and grass to help, and the rest will be handed over to the Song army."

Leng Wu's eyes flashed with a heroic aura, and she said, "Without further ado, the black-clothed commander can act tonight." ”

The black-clothed Tanhua said: "That's good, Leng Niang, our people will meet here at the Qingpu Tea Shop then." ”

"Let's go back to the inn first."

Ps. Thank you for the reward from the cold dance and the confused decoration world!
