At the critical juncture, Zhang Huang showed his leader-level talent and vision, and he could guess He Ying's overall intentions thoroughly, which shocked Zang Ba and others.

Indeed, Taishan Taishou He Ying is indeed so calculated.

It is undeniable that although this He Ying is insidious and cunning, it is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people for him to grasp things, that is, this insight. It can only be said that it is worthy of Taishan Taishou.

Just a waist card, He Ying instantly realized that Zang Ba was very likely to be involved with Xu Xun of the Taishan thief, and in a blink of an eye he came up with a poisonous plan: he ordered two hundred county soldiers to escort Zang Ba's father Zang Jie and the remaining one hundred and twenty prisoners to Xishan Fei County at night, and deliberately released the news to lure Zang Ba to come and rob the prisoner. The best, even the Taishan thief Xu Xun was brought out.

Clean sweep!

Thinking of the place of pride, He Ying's eyes couldn't help but show a little ruthlessness.

"The adults are so excited, it can't really be for Zang Ba's milky hairy boy, right?"

In the seat opposite him, a big man in a military attache robe touched his beard at his chin and asked with a smile.

This person's surname is Ma Mingyan, in the early years when He Ying was only a county order, he was He Ying's henchman deputy, serving as the county lieutenant, and later He Ying Taishan Taishou, and then moved to Taishan County Shou, Yan Hu rose all the way, and was finally promoted to the county lieutenant, in this Taishan County can be said to be under one person, above ten thousand people.

This Ma Yan's prestige in Mount Tai is not small, it is said that this person has superb martial arts, has the courage of ten thousand people, He Ying's brother-in-law, Taishan County Lieutenant Wang Hu, his martial arts are Ma Yan's ** out. Xu Xun, the leader of the Taishan Army, repeatedly did not dare to confront He Ying head-on, and hid in Mount Tai and disappeared, in fact, it was not unrelated to Ma Yan's existence.

"Old Ma, have you heard of this too?" He Ying asked in some surprise.

Ma Yan laughed and said, "In the past, I have heard of the deeds of this son leading some diners up the mountain to hunt tigers. Adults also know that I am a rough man, I don't like those scholars who dance and write, I love those arrogant hairy boys, and I also thought about asking that kid to be an errand boy under my hands one day. ”

He Ying nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "I'm Taishan County, the Zang clan is indeed a talent, and this official has recruited Zang Jie more than once...... That bastard didn't want to think about it, if it wasn't for the official who promoted him, how could he have changed from an unpopular official to a Taishan prison Cao? But that ungrateful thing is good, secretly recording the crimes of his own officials in private. ”

Ma Yan closed his eyes and didn't speak, in fact, he knew about it. Taishan Prison Cao, this official position is not small, simply put, he is the head of the prison in charge, and his status is comparable to that of Ma Yan.

"Like such a white-eyed wolf, what are you doing with him? In my opinion, it can be slaughtered with a knife! ”

"No, keep Zang Jie's life for the time being." He Ying told Ma Yan about his plan one by one, and Ma Yan nodded again and again when he heard it.

"I see, my lord, are you planning to put a bait line to catch a big fish? However, how can adults be sure that Zang Ba must have secretly communicated with Xu Xun? Mayan asked with a frown.

He Ying sneered and said, "If Zang Ba hadn't secretly communicated with Xu Xun, how could he have Xu Xun's waist card when he was the captain of Juping?" This time, the official ordered two hundred county soldiers to come to Fei County, which was not too many or no less, but it was not that Zang Ba could get his father out with his own strength. The only way he could think of was to ask Xu Xun for help...... This official has investigated, and last year Xu Xun rebelled out of Taishan County, and it is very likely that Zang Jie privately entrusted someone to open the city gate, so that Xu Xun escaped from the county seat. Xu Xun owes Zang Jie a favor, if he is still a character, he will definitely come back this time. When the time comes, you and I will wait for the rabbit and capture him here! ”

"What if the guy doesn't come?"

"It's okay if you don't come." He Ying said with a grim face, "Regardless of whether Xu Xun comes or not, anyway, that Zang Ba will definitely come to rob the prisoner and rescue his father." The law of our Han Dynasty clearly stipulates: The prisoner is guilty of the same crime as the prisoner, and one more level will be killed! If that Zang Ba came alone, it would not matter, and this official just took this opportunity to completely eradicate the Taishan Zang family. ”

"My lord's clever plan, I still think it is ingenious when I think about it carefully at this time. Admire, admire! ”

Tian Zhang, the accompanying bookkeeper, praised again.

Ma Yan glanced at Tian Zhang, and said to He Ying, "Don't worry, as long as Xu Xun has the courage to come to my Fei County, Lao Ma will personally kill this fang and dedicate his head to my lord!" ”

He Ying's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "It is precisely because of your confidence that this official plans to attract Xu Xun here!" But then again, you prisoners on this side of Fei County ......"

Ma Yan snorted lightly and said with a smug face, "Don't worry, who dares to cause trouble in my Fei County?" Even if a thousand soldiers here were sent out to ambush Xu Xun, those scum wouldn't dare to make trouble! ”

Hey? In this small land of Fei County, there are a thousand soldiers?

It turns out that this Fei County is not an ordinary county seat, it is one of the few iron ore veins in Taishan County, and the demand for iron ore in the Han Dynasty is well known.

Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, smelters developed the [block refining method], which, as the name suggests, is to use a whole piece of iron ore to be constantly beaten, and gradually cast into the shape of a weapon. However, it is a pity that this iron (soft steel) is too soft, and it is not as hard and sharp as the bronze sword forged after the peak of smelting technology, so it has not been used as a material for armaments.

However, this iron-smelting technique did not disappear because of this, and the prescient iron-smelting craftsmen improved it to the "block smelting carburizing method", in which the block iron came into contact with the charcoal fire during the repeated heating and casting process, and the carbon penetrated into the iron to enhance the hardness of the iron. This kind of iron is classified according to the repeated operations of burning, burning, and burning, so it has many names for ten wrought iron and one hundred wrought iron. And among the hundred wrought iron, its solidity and sharpness, have far surpassed the bronze weapon.

Later, in the early Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty), the iron smelting technology was further improved and improved, and the [steel frying method] was invented: the pig iron was heated into a semi-liquid and liquid form, and then iron ore powder was added, and at the same time, a part of the carbon in the pig iron was removed by using iron ore powder and oxygen in the air, so that the carbon content in the pig iron was reduced, the slag was removed, and the steel was directly obtained.

However, what the Han Dynasty uses today is a newly researched iron smelting method and steel filling method based on the summary of many previous iron smelting technology experiences. Select the iron ore with a relatively high grade, smelt high-quality pig iron, and then, pour the liquid pig iron on the wrought iron, and after several degrees of smelting, the iron is carburized into steel. Since pig iron and wrought iron are "stayed" together, the steel smelted is also called "skutsu iron".

If Zhang Huang learned about it, he would probably be surprised, because at this time, the Han Dynasty was already researching and improving the steel filling technology, which was the prototype of iron smelting and steel making in later generations.

There is no doubt that the Han Dynasty, on the premise of having such a Cheng dù iron smelting technology, completely abandoned bronze swords and even pig iron swords, and turned to batch casting [Su Iron] quality weapons to strengthen armaments.

It is natural that Fei County has become an iron-mining county supported by the Xuzhou government. However, because of the difficulty of mining, and even the danger of life in the mining shafts, the local people are reluctant to participate in such dangerous activities. In desperation, the Xuzhou government had no choice but to change its strategy, use prisoners to mine, and send county soldiers to guard it.

Because of this, don't look at Fei County is just a small county, but its status in Taishan County and even Xuzhou Mansion is very high, after all, the iron ore produced here is directly supplied to the craftsman workshop in Luoyang, and there is a death rule on how many catties are mined every year.

I have to say that this Mayan is not a good thing, in the early years, in the name of recruiting the local people of Fei County to mine, he squeezed and forced the local people to mine for him, which was even worse than a mining slave. On the basket of iron ore transported to Luoyang, I don't know how many people were tired of the resentment of the people, and even more, when the people complained a little, Ma Yan instructed the soldiers under his command to punch and kick, and on several occasions when he was in a bad mood, he personally went out to beat the people who took the lead to death. Therefore, he was privately called 'Ma Yanluo' by the local people of Fei County.

Later, a large number of men in Fei County either died in the mines or fled their hometowns, and the county, which originally had as many as 300 households, was only 40 or so in the area affected by Mayan.

Ma Yan was afraid that the Xuzhou government would send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, so he simply recruited a thousand soldiers from Taishan County and officially stationed in Fei County. There were even times when there was a shortage of manpower, even if it was the death row prisoners demanded by the Xuzhou government, He Ying and Ma Yan also threw those death row prisoners into the mine under the pretext of being escorted on the way.

In his opinion, anyway, those death row prisoners are also dead when they arrive in Xuzhou, where is death not death?

Day after day, year after year, this Xishan Fei County is no different from Ma Yan's private land, here, Ma Yan is like a soil emperor, happy to simply hand over the military affairs of Taishan County to his apprentice, that is, He Ying's brother-in-law Wang Hu, who is dedicated to being powerful here. So much so that when it comes to Mayan, the local people in Fei County talk about the change, especially the young ** in the village who died of the men in the family, and they are even more miserable.

There is no way, as the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, who calls Ma Yan, who has the power of a thousand soldiers, is the undeniable tyrant of this land?

"Squeak-"

The wooden door was pushed open, and a military attache under Ma Yan strode in, and after glancing at He Ying and Ma Yan sitting high in the room, he hugged his fist at the two.

"Qi Qi two adults, one qiē is ready."

"Good." He Ying nodded with satisfaction, and after glancing at Ma Yan, an inexplicable sneer appeared on his face.

"Xu Xunpifu, see you're not dead this time?!"

PS: Then there is the small ** part, and Zhang Huang's true strength will also be revealed. In addition, I will naturally try my best to make you feel comfortable, and I hope you will recommend it a lot.

I haven't asked for a ticket for several years, and I'm really not used to it at first glance, and I forgot about it a few days ago ==
