Chapter 168: The Great Urn

Xun? How could Xun help the army get out of trouble? Liu Ye was at a loss at first.

However, the next moment, Liu Ye immediately realized what Yuan was talking about.

In an instant, Liu Ye's fair face turned red with excitement, and he actually said in a slightly trembling voice: "Childe, do you mean to say that you will burn the big urn and then borrow the big urn to cross the Broken Soul Ze?" ”

"That's right! Big urn! It's a big urn! Yuan Wei smiled and said, "There is clay on the side of the Broken Soul Ze, and there are reeds collected by fishermen over the years in the fishing village, there are clay and reeds, we have no problem with how many big urns we want to burn, with the big urns, we can turn the Broken Soul Ze into a smooth road, ha!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Ye struck the knot hard, jumped up excitedly, and said repeatedly, "I'm ashamed, I'm really ashamed, why didn't I think of burning the big urn?" Why didn't you think of firing a large urn? Fortunately, Gongzi thought of it, otherwise, he would join the army as the Yuan family, but he was really derelict in his duties, and he was derelict in his duties. ”

"Ziyang doesn't have to blame himself!" Yuan Wei said, "If I hadn't inadvertently crushed Xun, I would never have thought of firing the big urn, hahahaha, this is called heaven's will, God doesn't want my Yuan clan to perish, even if you Zhou Yu has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, let you Zhou Yu exhaust all the organs, but how can you help me?" ”

Liu Ye said excitedly: "Childe, I'll take someone to burn the big urn here!" ”

"No hurry!" Yuan Wei shook his head and said, "It's daytime, the kiln fire is together, there will be thick smoke, and it can be seen from more than ten miles away outside the Broken Soul Valley, with Zhou Yu's knowledge, it is easy to guess what we are doing. Urgently dispatch elite troops to the other side of the Broken Soul Ze to intercept them. That's the end of it. ”

"Oh yes. Yes, yes, I'm really confused. Liu Ye nodded again and again, he was also anxious just now, and once he calmed down, he immediately thought of the power, and said, "Then wait for the evening, wait until the evening, as long as the kiln fire is not exposed." Outside the Valley of Broken Souls, there is absolutely no clue to find it. ”

Yuan Wei nodded heavily and said, "Ziyang, I will transfer Xu Sheng's Xiao Cavalry Camp to you, and I will be under your full control, and the matter of burning the big urn will be handed over to you!" In three days, you burned 300 urns for me! ”

Liu Ye said solemnly: "Don't worry, son, you can't make a mistake!" ”

After speaking, Liu Ye gave Yuan Wei a long look, and then turned to find Xu Sheng.

Yuan Wei was worried, and sleepiness came up. Back in the tent, it quickly became familiar.

Yuan Wei slept really soundly this night, and waited until the next day. When Yuan Wei finally woke up naturally, he found that Liu Ye, Yang Hong, Ji Ling, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng and others were already standing in front of his couch, and they all looked excited, all looking at him with strange eyes.

Yuan quickly turned over and sat up and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? The Jiangdong Army launched an attack? ”

"It's okay, don't worry, Childe, it's okay." Liu Ye hurriedly shook his hand and said, "The Jiangdong Army did not attack. ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Yuan Wei breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the seat again, and said, "Then what are you doing here?" This expression one by one? ”

"Childe, they are all happy." Liu Ye said this, and said, "Also, the mud embryo of the three hundred big urns has been pulled, and the urn kiln has been dug up, why don't you go over and take a look?" ”

"So fast?" Yuan Nuo was interested and said, "Let's go, let's see." ”

At that moment, Yuan Wei came to the lake surrounded by Liu Ye, Ji Ling and other civil and military forces.

The entire Broken Soul Valley is in the shape of a trumpet, and the mouth facing the Broken Soul Ze is the widest, and the valley mouth controlled by the Jiangdong Army is slightly narrower, so Liu Ye chose a small earthen bag under the cliff on the left side of the mouth, and dug the side back of this small earthen bag, which can directly use the small earthen bag as an urn kiln, but also can borrow the small earthen bag to block the vision of the Jiangdong Army outside the valley.

When Yuan Wei rushed to the small earthen bag, the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion all became mud monkeys.

In order to make enough large urns in the shortest possible time, Liu Ye collected all the objects with rotating shafts that could be collected in the small fishing village, even the stone mill for grinding tofu did not let go, and there was no transmission mechanism, so he simply pushed the stone mill by a few soldiers, and the other soldiers pulled the embryo on the stone mill with their hands and feet.

Of course, the clay embryo made in this way is very poor, and if it is sold in the market, I am afraid that no one will want it for nothing.

But Yuan Nuo didn't pick it, as long as the big urn didn't leak, and it was big enough and firm enough, what was the ugly look?

It is said that the drying of pottery clay embryos is best to be dried in the shade, because it is easy to crack when exposed to the scorching sun, but Yuan Jun has no time to wait for the mud embryos to dry in the shade, so he can only choose to be exposed under the scorching sun, even if there is a partial cracking.

Look at the urn kiln dug on the back of the small soil bag, there is no technical content at all, it is a large earth hole, the bottom is built with bricks to make an arch, and the top is left with a leaky grid, although Yuan no does not understand the kiln technology, but it can also be seen that the bottom is about the combustion chamber, and the upper layer is the kiln room where the mud embryo is placed.

In order to prevent the fire from leaking, Liu Ye also deliberately built a brick house at the smoke exhaust of the earthen kiln, and the opening of the brick house was facing Daze, so that the Jiangdong army with its back to Daze could not see the clues.

"Good!" After reading it roughly, Yuan Wei said happily, "It's going to start burning tonight!" ”

"No!" Liu Ye took a long look and nodded happily.

Broken Soul Valley, Jiangdong Army Fortress.

Zhou Yu was stroking the piano according to the case, but while he was playing, he only heard a clanging sound, and one of the strings suddenly broke for no reason.

The melodious sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.

Lu Meng, who was kneeling beside him and watching Sun Tzu's Art of War, raised his head in surprise and asked Zhou Yu, "Dudu, what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Zhou Yu shook his head, but felt a faint stinging pain in his fingers, and curled his fingers slightly to take a look, but saw that the tips of the middle finger of his right hand were a little red, which was very eye-catching.

"Are you hurt?" Lu Meng hurriedly got up and prepared to summon the medical craftsman.

"Ziming doesn't have to be busy." Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped it and said, "It's just a small injury, so it's okay." ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu put the middle finger of his right hand into his mouth and sucked it a few times, and the blood quickly stopped, but Zhou Yu's previous state of mind that was as still as water could not be calmed down.

"Ziming, what time is it?" Zhou Yu frowned and asked.

Lu Meng ran out to look at the sundial that was timed, and came back to report, "Dudu, it's not even three o'clock. ”

"Isn't it already three quarters?" Zhou Yu's brows became more and more frowned, and he whispered, "So, Yuan Jun will not come to attack today, so let's order the soldiers of all armies to remove their armor." ”

"No!" Lu Meng waved and conveyed the military order.

Seeing Lu Meng's figure go away, Zhou Yu stood up again, climbed the watchtower of the simple fortress, and then stood on the watchtower, condescendingly looked at the Yuan Jun fortress opposite, and secretly said: Yuan, are you really calm? However, I want to see how long you can endure it, if you don't attack within three days, Yuan Jun is afraid that he will run out of food, right?

Ordinary pottery should be burned for at least one day and night.

But Yuan Wei does not need high-quality, exquisite pottery, he only needs a large urn that is not broken, does not leak, does not melt into the water, and has a certain strength, according to this requirement, the sintering time can be greatly shortened.

Therefore, one night's time is enough for this batch of large urns.

The next day, the sky was just bright, and Yuan Fu couldn't wait to come to the earthen kiln.

Xiao Cavalry Sima Wu Siliang took dozens of Xiao Cavalry guards to open the earth kiln, even if they were dozens of steps away, Yuan Nuo and the others could still feel a heat wave coming, but no matter Yuan Nuo, the son, or Liu Ye, a scholar, they were not affected by this heat wave at all, and they all took a few steps towards the earthen kiln.

Because it is a one-time earthen kiln, when Wu Siliang opened the earthen kiln, his subordinates had no scruples and opened the entire front of the earthen kiln, so Yuan Fu and they could easily see the neatly placed large urns in the kiln room, but they saw that the soil color of hundreds of earthen urns had faded, and it was replaced by a blue-yellow color.

Wu Siliang and a cavalry commander put on wet kudzu clothes, rushed into the kiln, and carried out the first large urn with a wooden frame.

The big urn had just been carried out, Yuan Nuo and Liu Ye invariably surrounded him, Yuan Nuo was even more impatient to pick up a small wooden stick and gently knock on the big urn, only to hear a soft buzz, the timbre was very clear, but the big urn was unscathed, Yuan Nuo increased the strength and knocked several times, the big urn was still firm and unbroken.

"Hahaha, it's done!" Yuan couldn't help but say. (To be continued......)
