The spring ploughing was over, and Zhao Qingyi, escorted by many soldiers, also came to Pingzhou Mansion in a carriage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info stayed at home with his wife and son for a few days, and then went to Yaowu City, where he wanted to go to the grassland with Zhang Jie, with recruits and soldiers from other places.

Knowing that all military personnel are now fully manned, Jiang Hexing is very satisfied, and it seems that as long as the resettlement efforts are intensified, the manpower disadvantage can be gradually changed. After inspecting the recruits with Zhang Jie, Jiang Hexing took these recruits and marched west to the grassland together.

In late spring and early summer, the weather in Pingzhou is very pleasant. lukewarm, Jiang Hexing sitting in the carriage always had a lazy feeling, chatting with Zhang Jie beside him, chatting and falling asleep.

Jiang Hexing woke up, rubbed his eyes, the sun was shining on them, and the carriage was hot. Jiang Hexing looked at Zhang Jie with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I actually fell asleep." ”

Zhang Jie said: "He Wang, it is common to work too much on weekdays and lack rest, so it is better to sleep more in the car." ”

"Haha, I'll fall asleep even if I don't lack rest. Where has the team gone? ”

This place is already sixty miles away from Yaowu, Jiang Hexing nodded. Looking around, they were surrounded by infantry in front of them, cavalry in the long procession behind them, tens of thousands of horses and supply convoys, and there was no end in sight.

The grassland is like a green ocean, with a lot of purple peony flowers on the side, and a lot of fiery red shandan flowers, competing together. Bees and butterflies were not intimidated by the crowd and were already shuttling non-stop. There are also many unknown flowers, blooming yellow, white, red and other colors, dotting this sea of green.

The sun grew bigger and redder, and the shadows of the crowd stretched slender on the grass.

A gust of evening breeze blew in the face, and waves rose on the green ocean, and the ripples continued until they disappeared from view.

As he was walking forward, a soldier in front of him came to report that there was a big river in front of him, and asked if he wanted to rest by the river. Zhang Jie nodded and said, "Go and give the order, and camp by the river in front to rest." ”

And so they rested for the night by the river. Jiang Hexing knew that there were nearly 1,500 miles ahead, so he accelerated after consulting with Zhang Jie, walking 100 miles a day, and stopped for a few days because of rain in the middle, and only after a month did he arrive at Xiuwu City, a newly built city specially for military training. 800 miles south of the city of the two lakes, a newly built city in the prairie.

Wu Kui has already arrived, Li Xiaoquan has also arrived, and Ma Yuan and Ma Biao have not yet arrived.

Jiang Hexing took a few generals to look at Xiuwu City. Xiuwu City is very large, there are grain depots and armories in it, it seems that Zhang Jie is very well prepared, and this will be a training base in the future.

The moat leads to a large river near the city, which goes around the city and joins a lake in the south. Jiang Hexing looked at the city and repaired it very tall, like Chang'an, and was very satisfied. I asked Zhang Jie how the siege equipment was prepared?

Zhang Jie said: "Ladders, trenches, catapults, crashes, wooden curtains, etc. are all prepared. ”

Jiang Hexing asked, "Have you prepared Yunlei?" ”

Zhang Jie was stunned for a moment and said: "There are a lot of preparations, but this is not intended to be used for siege." ”

Wu Kui stepped forward and said, "Hewang, we are ready to attack the city with cloud thunder." ”

Jiang Hexing turned his head and said, "How to prepare, let's go and see together." ”

Wu Kui led a group of generals to his camp, and Wu Kui ordered someone to carry a box. It was not so much a carriage as it was a carriage. The box was three feet square and six feet long, with a long guide cable left outside.

When the box was pulled over, Jiang Hexing ordered the lid to be opened, and everyone saw that it was full of gunpowder in the clouds and thunder. Jiang Hexing turned his head and asked Wu Kuidao, "Have you tried it?" ”

Wu Kui smiled honestly and said: "We are also here a few days ago to discuss the siege of the city, an officer proposed it, just done, and I haven't tried it yet." ”

Jiang Hexing said: "That officer? Let me get acquainted. ”

Wu Kui said: "You all know that Wu Han. He has always had a lot of ideas, and he has done a lot of merit here, and that humble lord Ebony was designed and caught by him after he came. ”

Jiang Hexingdao: "What position is he now?" ”

Wu Kui said: "He is already the head of the regiment." ”

"I didn't fight any wars to be promoted like this, it seems that there are two brushes. You call him, I'll look at him. Jiang Hexing instructed Wu Kui.

Wu Han quickly called, dressed in military uniform, and after coming over to give a salute, he stood aside. Jiang Hexing looked at him, and last time he only remembered that he was scuffling with Li Xiaoquan in the cow dung heap with his hair scattered. Looking at it now, sure enough, a tiger general is heroic, with a cold light in his eyes, especially the slanted scar on his face is particularly obvious, and his face reveals a murderous aura.

Jiang Hexing looked at it and said, "Wu Han, how has you been in my Pingzhou army this year?" ”

Wu Han stepped forward and said: "Thank you for worrying with the king, I have to be taken care of by Commander Wu Kui, I have learned a lot in the army, many of which I couldn't think of before." Wu Han used to be a frog at the bottom of the well, but now he is like a fish in water in our army, and he is doing very well. ”

Jiang Hexing said: "Tell me how you caught the ebony." ”

Wu Han said: "Back to the king, we caught the ebony many times and he slipped away. Later, we still broke his wings and cut off his logistics, so that his people became fewer and fewer, and in the end there were only about a few dozen people left. But then there were fewer people, and it was more difficult to catch. It snowed heavily last winter, and it was reported that he had been spotted, and I thought that what he wanted most now was food and grass. Just find a team with grain and grass, walk dozens of miles in the snow, and lure him. He is also very cunning, he was not fooled at first, but later he was estimated to be really hungry, so he killed him. We just happened to be caught, but he still ran away with a few people. We followed the snow to the edge of a cave. The entrance to the cave was not big, and as soon as we entered, he fired his bow and arrows, and wounded several of us at once. After that, we consumed, and after a few days, I tried to scare them out with cloud thunder, but the cloud thunder released too much, and all of a sudden the cave mouth exploded, burying them in the cave.

It was a few days before we opened the cave, and he was already dead inside. I don't know if I was scared to death, or if there was no air in it. ”

Jiang Hexing nodded and said, "You plan to attack the city with cloud thunder, does it have anything to do with this?" ”

Wu Han said: "Exactly, a few days ago, General Wu talked about the siege of the city, I remembered this scene where the cloud thunder blew up the cave, I think I can blow up the cave, and it should also be able to blow up the city wall, as long as there are enough clouds and thunder." ”

Jiang Hexing praised Wu Han very much, and Wu Han and Wu Kui were very happy.
