The main force of the Northern Expedition Zhou army was temporarily surrendered, and the passes of each city were successively received by Zhao Zheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to prevent the flag from changing again, Zhao Zheng ordered to transfer people from Gushan, and the long list was full of veterans who survived after the Wuyang War.

They are the hole cards in the real sense, forming the skeleton of the Gushan Army, and this time Zhao Zheng is going to add meat to this giant skeleton, so that it is no longer a formal giant.

In Wanghai City, the traces of the last war are still faintly visible, and some residual blood stains can also be seen on the streets.

The engineer officers and soldiers did not live up to Zhao Zheng's good intentions, and in less than five days, they sorted out a clean house, which was not only Zhao Zheng's visit, but also a post house for entertaining the envoys of the Qi and Chu armies.

"Gushan-kun, my general wants to ask, Gushan wants to start a war with Da Chu?" As soon as the envoy of the Chu army, Mi Xin, came up, he said violently.

Three days ago, the boat and the guard fire drove the boat and carried the artillery to Nangang, where the Chu warship docked.

Zhao Zheng squinted, staring at the expression of Tian Zifang, the envoy of the Qi army on the other side, and seeing that the latter was expressionless, he smiled and said: "Chu State is a great country, how dare you hit a stone with an egg." ”

"Then why destroy my warship and cut off our army's way back to their hometown, is it possible that the Gushan Army also takes a fancy to the Great Chu soldiers?"

The power of artillery, the strongest Zhou army should also be afraid, but Qi Xin argued loudly and was not afraid at all.

It seemed that Zhao Zheng was speechless by his refutation, and took out a letter from his sleeve, on which was the unique Chu script, which was generally only used on the private letters of nobles.

Mi's heart stopped abruptly, and he couldn't believe it.

Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "Why didn't Your Excellency say it, I thought that I could send a fast boat to return to China to ask for troops, the wind and waves outside were too big and it was not suitable for going to sea, so I invited them back again, do you want to take you to see." ”

After the Chu army's warship was destroyed, Mi Tao decisively sent a ship back to China, first, to ask for troops to rescue to avoid passivity, and second, to announce that Zhao Zheng was going to war against the Zhou army, and used the power of the Zhou Dynasty to drag Zhao Zheng's expansion ambitions.

When the rescue ship was dispatched, there was obviously no trace of the Gushan army on the sea, and the Chu army warship was faster than the Zhou army warship captured by Gushan.

"Why haven't you figured it out yet, do you need me to find someone to explain to you?"

Zhao Zheng glanced at Tian Zifang, who stood up helplessly and said: "Xin Gongzi, the reason why Gushanjun attacked your Chu army's warship is because he was afraid that your Chu army would return to China to report the news and leak the news of the Dongping Zhou army, so it is better for you to sit down and listen to Gushanjun." ”

The Qi army did not have a sailor, so it can be said that whoever has a ship will cooperate with whomever he wants, plus Tian Dan and Zhao Zheng are in close alliance, Tian Zifang has no reason to oppose Gushan, so he is personally present at the negotiation.

"Gushan-kun, I don't know if you're right?"

"Yes, very right", Zhao Zheng hugged his fists and said, "The old lady and I have a kindness, I can participate in the Northern Expedition and come to Dongping is also Brother Tian Bu's ability, so Qi is the closest ally of Gushan, and the two of us can do anything together." ”

"Really?"

Mi was shocked, stared at Tian Zifang, and betrayed his nature with a "yes", and the Qi army wanted to cooperate with Gushan in the blink of an eye against the Chu army.

"Don't forget, there are still millions of Chu troops in the Central Plains, and they can completely break through the Qi State at any cost, not to mention Gushan."

Even now, Tian Zifang shook his head, Qi Xin is too unsuitable to be a messenger and does not know how to compromise.

"Hahaha, Gongzi Mi Xin said it well, no matter the cost, I don't know if you can see the day when Qi and Gushan will destroy the country."

As he spoke, murderous aura burst out in his eyes, and the guards standing outside the door also drew their knives and looked at each other angrily.

"You ...... You guys...... Don't you want to cooperate, without the Zhou army, the three of us can divide Dongping, and the general also has this meaning. ”

Qi Xin was so frightened that his hands trembled, pointing at Zhao Zheng for a long time and was speechless, and finally lowered his head and said helplessly, now he has to admit that Zhao Zheng has the ability to completely annihilate the Chu army.

"Alas, Gongzi Mixin also scared me, and I thought that you Chu State didn't want Canghai County, and I didn't know who to send to take over."

A naked threat, but he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

The risks of fighting across the sea are very high, and the storm that comes proves everything, and no one dares to shout in front of the power of the sea.

Surface warfare, in this era, is mostly a broadside battle, and the only long-range attack method is a bow and crossbow, which is the ultimate to be dipped in some fire oil and ignited.

These two tactics are simple and effective, but they are only suitable for the internal water where the wind is calm and the waves are calm, the water is gentle and the river is wide, and when it reaches the sea where there is no wind and three feet of waves, and the sea breeze blows bitingly, it has become a joke, and the rocket head may have been blown out by the wind before it has been fired.

In naval battles, fire is king.

Zhao Zheng especially liked Napoleon's sentence in his previous life, "The axiom is within the range of the cannon", and under the blockade of the Gushan warships, the Chu army could only obediently ally ally.

The situation in Dongping was temporarily stable, Qi Chu and Gushan, and the three parties made a bloody alliance with Wanghai City, carved up Dongping, and jointly resisted the Zhou army.

The alliance was reached, Zhao Zheng happily invited Tian Zifang and Mi Tao to a banquet, Tian Zifang smiled and agreed, and hoped that Gushan could send back a group of wounded soldiers to Qi first, and bring grain, grass and ordnance by the way.

For the request of the ally, Zhao Zheng happily agreed, but Mi Tao's face was not very good, the three major countries went on a northern expedition, and in the end, the monarch of Gushan, who was not even a small country, got the greatest benefit.

Recently, the price of grain in Yan has risen rapidly, from ten dollars a bucket to forty dollars a bucket in a blink of an eye, and white flour soybean oil is even more priceless.

Gushan is gone, whether in a political or geographical sense, Gucheng was blown up by Ji Zhan, and tens of thousands of earth-shaking thunders were used at one time, no one believed that Da Zhou cracked the secret of earth-shaking thunder, which could be mass-produced, but safety accidents occurred more than once.

Ji Zhan didn't care, even Zhou Tianzi, who was diligent and loved the people, didn't care, on the contrary, every time an accident happened, the more people died, the happier they were, which proved that this batch of gunpowder was more powerful.

"What a profiteer, what was sold to Da Zhou before was fake, and the power of the real earth-shattering thunder is not comparable at all."

Ji Zhan looked at the devastated and scorched Gucheng and said with a smile, "The secret of the earth-shaking thunder is gone, and Gushan has lost the meaning of existence.

Goodbye Zhao Zheng, I hope you don't go far, wait for your subordinates to continue to be arrogant under the spring, and it doesn't hurt to change Yama.

There is no longer a figure of you in the yang world, and I will definitely pass you on the throne after I ascend the throne, but I am no longer a cowardly king, but the emperor of the three emperors of Gonggai and the five emperors of Demai.

I will remember you. ”

After mastering the earth-shattering thunder, Ji Yan once again favored Ji Zhan, and the call for the abolition of the prince was completely suppressed, so that Ji Zhan thought that he led the Zhou army to sweep Liuhe and sat down to something that the three emperors and five emperors had never done in ancient times.

This is how he thought of the title of the emperor, as for the title of "I", according to legend, King Gu Xian liked to be called so, and there are many records in the Shangshu, so it was used by Ji Zhan to use it as the supreme self-title in the world.

The great achievements are just around the corner, and Ji Zhan can't wait, but there are still a few stumbling blocks to be removed.

Although the solid city is broken, the mountain city is still the same, after Ji Zhan set fire to the mountain, Tian Shimu led everyone to hide underground, with the complex vent design, plus spring water filtration, the smoke is basically useless.

It's just that the grain and grass are all destroyed, and hiding in the tunnel is not a long-term solution, and finally ten acres of land and Dongfang Valley are combined, temporarily abandoning the mountain city, blocking the secret room, and going north to the Linhu grassland through Yucheng.

"They should have arrived, but it's not far off."

Wang Hu's face was covered with blood and black smoke, he couldn't see his true face clearly, he was holding a Mo knife in one hand and a bloody man in the other, muttering to himself.

There must be sacrifices in retreat, Wang Hu, as a garrison of the mountain city, volunteered to stay behind the palace, led a thousand dead soldiers to fight a bloody battle for a month, beheaded no less than 2,000 Zhou troops, and killed and injured countless people.

"Uh~Go"

The bloody men on the ground are powerless. He is the Gucheng Ling Taoyuan, the first person Zhao Zheng met when he came to this world, and he was also the first part.

The solid city turned into scorched earth, Tao Yuan, who was nearly fifty years old, refused to admit defeat, insisted on leaving the palace, and flew with two blades without a shadow, and how many Zhou sergeants were awarded the head. Helplessly, two fists were invincible to four hands, Tao Yuan was finally surrounded by the Zhou army, the shadowless double blades were lost, and he was dying.

"Uncle Tao, it's all said, let's go on the road together, I haven't earned enough yet, can you go first."

Wang Hu grinned, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, in short, his face was black and red.

"Stomp Pedal Pedal

There was another sound of footsteps in the tunnel, Wang Hu was overjoyed, gently put down Tao Yuan, walked away with a knife, took two steps and paused, and came back with a smile to pick up the "melon" that Zhao Zhou gave him.

It is said to be a "melon", which is bigger than a pumpkin, but fortunately it is a big pie, and Wang Hu struggles to carry it.

"If you fall, it will explode, and I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, if you want to leave, you should bring a gift to Zhou Jun."

With the "melon" on his back, Wang Hu walked a little hard, and shouted: "Uncle Tao, I'll take a step first." ”

After a while, there was a sound of weapon fighting, and after it stopped, a loud bang blew up the entire tunnel.

Walking in the tunnel, Ji Zhan, who sighed that he couldn't be used by me, shook his body involuntarily a few times and said with a smile: "The solid mountain is over, clean up the battlefield, and the squad will return to the court." ”

A few days later, the Zhou army all over the mountains withdrew, leaving a mess, and before the Gushan residents who had fled to the mountains descended, Ji Dan entered with 10,000 guards.

There are so many treasures in Gushan, it is impossible to be scavenged all at once, and Ji Dan ordered that anyone who finds any strange object will be rewarded with a knight.

Gushan became a paradise for speculators, not only the Yan army, but also many ordinary people spontaneously joined the search team to compete for the title of the nobleman.

The hard work paid off, and they really found a few pieces, a copper pipe full of rust, and half an iron ball small.

"Jing Ke, do you know what this is?"

Ji Dan habitually asked Jing Ke to distinguish it, after all, he was a good friend of Zhao Zhengzhi, he had seen a lot of strange drawings, and he had heard a lot of strange legends.

Jing Keqian was unwilling, but Zhao Zheng was dead in Donghu, and anything in Gushan could make Yan Kingdom dominate, so he had to endure it.

The copper pipe, which was more than a foot long, was unevenly thick, and the iron ball the size of a head seemed to be hollowed out inside, and a memory flashed in Jing Ke's mind like lightning.

"This thing... Unexpectedly... It really appeared. ”

"What's it, you say it quickly, say it quickly?" Ji Dan was even more excited than Jing Ke, judging from the rust and fractures on it, it was obvious that this thing was destroyed and buried by the Gushan Army, and Ji Zhan didn't find it at all.

Ji Danping retreated left and right, leaving only the guards Lao Jin and Jing Ke, and asked in a low voice: "What is this, how is it compared to the earth-shaking thunder?" ”

Jing Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "It's called artillery, it can be called the king of firearms, and the copper wall is ironclad to it. ”

"Okay, you and Lao Jin will take it back in person, and don't let anyone know."

The people who participated in the treasure hunt were driven away, and even some of Ji Dan's subordinates who were suspected by Ji Dan returned to Zhuo County, and Ji Dan took more than a thousand henchmen to excavate the remnants of Gushan, hoping to find more fragments and restore artillery.

If the Yan State has this thing, sweeping the Six Kingdoms is just around the corner, where is it necessary to buy the Heaven-Shaking Thunder from the Zhou Dynasty in such a low voice.

Ji Dan thought that his dream would also start here.
