Picking up a small piece of broken rock in the light of the fire, Wu Ming slowly played with it in his hand, sniffing it twice before snorting from time to time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Under the soldier's gaze, Wu Ming walked back and forth around such a pile of useless abandoned rocks, and he also looked interested, which made the soldier feel extremely different.

These actions lasted until half an hour later, and finally in a few excited laughter, Wu Ming identified the identity of this thing.

"It's really limestone, huh...... Damn, how could you forget about this thing. After talking to himself for a while, Wu Ming directly turned to the blank-looking soldier and ordered: "Let people take a good look at this kind of stone, and collect it if they have it in the future, they will be of great use." ”

Although the soldier was still at a loss, he didn't dare to slack off at all, "Yes." ”

It is true that limestone alone does not have much effect, but after the lime kiln is fired, the limestone will turn into lime, and this lime can have many effects.

Although today in the royal palace and some courtiers' mansions have been plastered with lime to add to the aesthetics. But at this time, lime was fired from shells and other things, and the quantity was very limited.

Therefore, lime is very precious now, at least Wu Ming's current identity, coupled with King Wei Hui's favor for him, his general's mansion is only a few houses in the third courtyard that have been smeared with lime.

From this point alone, Wu Ming is enough to judge that most of the records of the use of lime in the history books are in the palace, and there are few such treatments in the prime minister's mansion, and those ordinary people probably have never seen it.

As for the limestone that burns lime, this thing was only used after hundreds of years, and it is normal for Wang Zhong and others who were digging the cave not to know about it.

……

The next morning was a sunny day, and in order to avoid the slippery road surface when the snow melted, Wu Ming prepared to leave with everyone early.

However, the heavens were not beautiful, and before he could mount his horse, a fast horse appeared galloping on the quiet path leading to the east of the river.

Looking at the past, the man on the horse was a soldier. From far to near, the person had already arrived in front of Wu Ming in a few breaths, and the person riding was Ni Tao.

Holding the reins, he quickly turned over and dismounted, and then hurriedly walked in front of Wu Ming, handed over a bundle of bamboo slips, and said: "General, there is an urgent situation in the army, please take precautions as soon as possible." ”

Stretching out his hand to take the bamboo slip, Wu Ming immediately opened it and looked at it silently, in the blink of an eye, Wu Ming's brows became clustered, and he muttered unnaturally: "South Korea is gathering an army in Nanyang City, and the grain and grass are ready?" ”

"Here's what's going on. Don't you say that the public is extravagant and suffers from the lack of food, grass, and armor? Putting away the bamboo slips, Wu Ming's eager gaze instantly looked at Ni Tao.

Judging from Wu Ming's expression, this matter is obviously very important, at least it shocked Wu Ming a lot.

After all, the current Wei State needs time to recover, and if South Korea sends troops one day later, then the Wei State will have one more day of recovery time. Of course, Wu Ming thought of this, and South Korea naturally thought of it.

Taking a long breath, Wu Ming took the horse, turned over and rode on the horse's back, "This is not the place to talk, go back to the barracks first." ”

……

The road in this era is not easy to walk, so the speed along the way is a little slower.

When the two entered the barracks, Zhang Meng had already spread out the map, staring and thinking about something with a twisted brow.

"What do you see?" Walking forward, Wu Ming asked lightly.

"South Korea is here to seek revenge," Zhang Meng stretched out his hand and drew back and forth on the map, "General, look at this, this road is the place where General Pang invaded Han at the beginning, Nanyang City is a gate in the northeast of South Korea, which connects all the official roads leading to my Great Wei and Weak Wei, Song and even part of Chu, the city is high and thick, and the gathering of troops here should be to break my Yicheng and Fengyu, and my Yicheng and Fengyu are both small cities, and the city is an earth ramming structure, if these two cities are captured, then the next Korean army can go straight to the beam. ”

On the sheepskin map that is three feet long and three feet wide, the large and small cities are marked with different black and red dots, of course, the rivers and mountains are also simply marked, from the terrain crossed by Zhang Meng's fingers, from Nanyang to the Wei capital Liang, and to the Korean capital Zhengcheng The distance is only 700 Xu Li, Nanyang can be said to be an important strategic point in South Korea.

Since the Wei State moved its capital, in order to prevent Korea, it has built two small cities of Yicheng and Fengyu in a place less than 300 miles between Nanyang and Daliang, and the most important thing is that the earth-rammed city defense between the two cities has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and now it has little effect.

Less than 100 miles southeast of the city is the territory of the weak guard, and less than 100 miles to the southwest is the border of Korea, so it is definitely a wise choice for South Korea to send troops from here, and it can approach the main beam in a short time.

After looking at it quietly for a while, Wu Ming retracted his gaze on the map, to be honest, it was not his worry about where South Korea would attack from, as long as he knew the movements of the South Korean army, it didn't matter where he attacked from.

What he wanted to know was how much time Korea had left for the development of Wei in order to make countermeasures, of course, when the Korean army would go on the expedition could only be a speculation, and it was estimated that their soldiers did not know except for the monarchs and generals of Korea.

As he sat down on the futon on the side of the map, Wu Ming said lightly: "I want to know where Gong Zhongxuan raised the grain and grass?" We already know in advance about the grain-producing countries in Sishang, doesn't it mean that there is nowhere to buy? ”

Hearing the question, Zhang Meng only looked at Ni Tao, and Ni Tao had always been responsible for arranging the investigation.

Sitting on the futon on the other side, Ni Tao frowned, and said helplessly: "After investigation, this time it was the Qin people who shot behind the back, and the price was surprisingly low." ”

The moment the words came out, the entire camp was silent all of a sudden, time seemed to freeze, and the three of them sat speechless, and some were just the roars of the soldiers training outside.

If there is only one South Korea, let alone Wu Ming, in the form of today's Wei State, Zhang Meng and Ni Tao will definitely not be able to unify the army. If he confronted the Qin State head-on, although Wu Ming was not sure how much he would achieve, he still had a way to use the current strength of the Wei State to deal with the Qin people.

At the moment, what he was worried about was the alliance between the Qin and the Han, and if this was the case, it would be a different direction. Moreover, the current Qin State has not taken action on the bright side, and no one knows whether the Qin people will take the opportunity to send troops to Hexi.

"In other words, this time South Korea gathered troops in advance, which has a great relationship with the Qin State?" Wu Ming tilted his head and looked at Ni Tao.
