It is not enough to have direction and funding for scientific research, but also to have talents - in this regard, it is Xun who has researched gunpowder, and it can be said that he has received the assistance of Xie Zheng, an important talent, and the problem is that Daoist Xie is also at the level of a college student, and when gunpowder develops to the undergraduate level, he will not be able to turn around. So it was Xun who talked eloquently, and after Zhuge Liang spread his hands, he said where did people come from? Xie Zheng is dead, who should I find to continue my research.

Shi Xun lowered his head and thought about it, and then asked Kong Ming: "Is the Hou of Langzhong still there?" ”

Therefore, when it comes to "the Marquis of Langzhong", it does not mean that this person has died, but that he was awarded the title of Marquis of Langzhong County under the old title system, and under the new title system...... Yes Xun really can't remember what he turned to. This person is not him, it is Zhang Lu and Zhang Gongqi, who were dominant in Hanchuan in the past.

Zhang Lu's Five Buckets of Rice Dao is not clear whether it burns the pill or not, and whether it refines the medicine or not, but he knows that Zhang Lu's grandfather, Zhang Ling, was later posthumously regarded as the ancestor of the Heavenly Master Dao and the first generation of Zhang Tianshi, and some factions of the Heavenly Master Dao are indeed alchemists. So he pointed out Zhuge Liang's path and asked him to go to Zhang Lu to ask.

Don't say it, Zhang Lu is not dead, he is still living in the suburbs of Luoyang, with the false titles of general of Zhennan and marquis of the capital, and although Cao Cao does not allow him to publicize his own Taoism, it is still not forbidden to teach a few disciples and preach in the village. Zhang Lu happened to be poor, because there were many pious people who escaped from Hanzhong with him back then, and after many years of sacrificial wine, they would no longer be able to farm for a living, but would only preach and cast spells.

So he hit it off with Zhuge Liang, and said I'll introduce you to a few disciples. You can find a serious meal for them. So Zhuge Liang stuffed all those five buckets of rice Dao sacrificial wine into the Armament Department of the Ministry of War. Responsible for the new development of gunpowder weapons. And then it wasn't long ago. The poison smoke holder is freshly baked.

This time, Shi Xun went to Hanzhong, and he brought such a batch of poison chimneys, which were called "fireworks miasma". In addition, he also followed an old sacrificial wine of five buckets of rice Dao, and now he is appointed as the military department of the military department from the history of the seventh order, surnamed Li Mingjiang Yinzhi.

This Li Yinzhi was originally a native of Shudi, a native of Deyang, who claimed to be a descendant of Lao Dan Li Er, and was said to have been born before. His parents dreamed that there was an immortal in silk clothes holding Xuanguang to support his life, so he named him Li Jiang. Li Jiang once worshiped under Zhang Heng to learn Taoism, and was regarded as Zhang Lu's junior brother, and he was also Xuan He for a while in Hanzhong, and later fled to Cao Wei with Zhang Lu. This time, he was responsible for the role of Hanchuan's guide, and was also responsible for the transportation, storage, repair, and application of various gunpowder weapons.

On the same day, under the White Water Pass, Fu Zhu suggested that we should not set fires, since the wind direction is suitable, it is better to use "smoke and flame miasma". Smoke the damn thing, so Xun summoned Li Jiang to come over to discuss. Li Yinzhi observed the terrain. It is said that the two peaks here are sandwiched, almost like a road, and using the wind direction, poisonous smoke can indeed be launched to injure people within 200 steps. But the problem is that after our experiments, the poisoned smokers within 50 steps are bleeding from their mouths and noses, and they basically lose their combat ability. And if the smoke does not disperse, it is difficult for the soldiers to follow up, and if the smoke disperses, it is estimated that the effect will pass......

After all, this is not a chemical weapon in the future, and it is unlikely that people will be poisoned on the spot.

Yes Xun Dao, I heard that using water to moisten your hand towel and cover your mouth and nose can reduce smoke damage to a certain extent, so you can test it first. As for the limited damage done to enemies...... With a slight roll of his eyes, he asked Li Jiang: "Qing used to be a sacrificial wine in Hanzhong, maybe he cast a spell?" ”

Li Jiang replied with a red face, most of them are just some tricks, only burning talismans to cure diseases, and it can be regarded as some effect-"If the governor is not in good health, Jiang Nai can burn talismans." "It's Xun who said forget it, I don't even believe in the serious doctors of this year, not to mention the ...... of you and other sorcerers, "I want to be a walker today, and I am also blinding."

He sent Ma Jian a task a while ago, saying Didn't you say "attack the heart for the top, and attack the city for the bottom"? Then collect information for me everywhere to understand the customs and folk conditions of Hanzhong and Bashu, in order to grasp the hearts of the people as soon as possible - when attacking the enemy, the people's hearts are weapons; After the victory, the people's will is the benchmark. According to Ma Tan's return, the Shu people are superstitious and believe in witchcraft the most - "This is slightly similar to my Jingchu people, and it is too much." ”

Therefore, Shi Xun took advantage of the general superstitious psychology of the enemy army and asked Li Jiang to pretend to be a "head sacrifice wine", and played a set of tricks to cast demons and summon ghost soldiers. The smoke coming out of Li Jiang's back was actually erupted by the "smoke miasma", and a cowhide blower used to burn fire and strike iron was added to the back, which drummed with the wind. Li Jiang himself had long covered his face with wet wipes, but even so, after the war, he still bled from his mouth and nose, and even took Chinese medicine for several days - I don't know why, he didn't simply drink Fu water to himself......

As for those ghost soldiers, they were just elite Wei pawns who smeared red mud on their faces and depicted copper bells and big eyes, and they also covered their faces with wet wipes, and the military doctor prepared an antidote pill for each of them, which was puffed under the tongue. In one fell swoop, the white water was passed.

The level was taken down, but the smoke had not yet dissipated, and it was Xun who didn't want to take the risk, so he stopped outside the pass for the time being, but Cao Zhen asked to start a chase immediately - "Covering your mouth and nose with wet wipes can indeed prevent poison, I am ready today, and I will chase after it immediately." The plank road is narrow, it is not easy to maneuver, if you rush to chase it to tens of hundreds of miles, if you don't chase, wait for the Shu people to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and then the danger is to be choked, I am afraid that it is difficult to overcome. ”

Shi Xun persuaded Cao Zhen to disobey him, so he had to let him chase him, and at the same time he urged the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong to come to reinforcements in the rear. Besides, when Zhao Yun and Ma Daifu reached the pass, they were shocked by the defeated soldiers, and they couldn't survive, so they had to retreat, Cao Zhen took the opportunity to chase after them, killing and injuring many people - the key is that the Shu army passed ten, ten and hundred, and they all thought that the Wei people invited Shijun Gaozu and exercised the demon law, where did they dare to fight them? Morale collapsed, and after a defeat of dozens of miles, even Ma Mingge, who was guarded by Guanxing, was forced to give up.

It was Xun who arrived at the Ma Ming Pavilion on the second day, and saw that the terrain here was more dangerous than Baishui Pass, so he set up a wooden pavilion on the plank road, just like the Shanxi Hanging Temple in later generations - of course, when it comes to the strict defense and the soldiers and horses that can be stationed, it is not as much as Baishui Pass.

It was Xun Xin who said that it was fortunate that Cao Zidan really knew the soldiers, and knew that he should chase after him while he was victorious, and he would continue to hide behind like me. It will inevitably delay the fighter.

So where is Cao Zhen now? Let's say that he personally led more than 1,000 soldiers to stride forward. Rushed through Ma Mingge in one breath. A short distance south, I walked out of the plank road and came to an open field. This place is under the jurisdiction of Jiameng County, in the original history, Liu Bei had a new county here, called "Hanshou" (not Guan Yu Hanshou Pavilion Marquis of Hanshou), but this timeline is still just a small town - that is, the later Guangyuan urban area is located.

From Hanzhong to the Sichuan Basin, all the way to the high mountains, deep gorges, plank roads are coherent. When he arrived at Guangyuan, he suddenly became cheerful, just like a person who walked a tightrope for a long time and suddenly found a wooden stake to rest. At this point, the Wei soldiers were all so tired that they didn't want to chase after them, and Cao Zhen had to stop. And he also took into account that Jia Meng was in front, and Liu Feng's main force was there, if he hurriedly waved his army to attack, he would have a thousand people, and there would be no danger to defend, and he would be defeated-so it was better to defend himself.

Sure enough, Liu Feng received a report of defeat. I couldn't help but be shocked: "I originally intended to be white water and Ma Ming, but I can keep it for half a year." How do I lose it in a few days? Wei Junguo is so brave? Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, Guan Xing and others reported the previous situation, and Liu Feng was shocked: "If there are five buckets of rice demons in the Wei army, can recruit ghosts and gods?" ”

Huang Quan said that I guess it's just some tricks, and it must be some new weapon developed by the Wei people - "I bought gunpowder arrows from the Central Plains before, and the first emperor tried it, and everyone saw it as a ghost and a god." "Immediately, please tell me to lead a group of troops to the front to see the situation.

Huang Quan led thousands of people to Guangyuan, and had a slight contact with Cao Zhenbu, and there were small casualties. But he saw that Cao Zhen's camp was basically established, and he knew that he couldn't attack it in a hurry, so he had to retreat for the time being.

Immediately, Xun and others also led their troops to Guangyuan, where they regrouped their troops and horses, and hoarded supplies. Follow-up troops, grain and straw also from Hanzhong to the source, between six days, the Shu army came to attack many times, were repelled by Cao Zhen, six days later, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Niu Jin and so on also led the main force to come, the total strength reached more than 40,000.

The two sides thus entered a situation of confrontation. If the Shu army came from Jia Meng and stepped on the plank road, it might be attacked by the Wei army, so although there were 30,000 people under Liu Feng's command, they did not dare to act rashly for the time being. If the Wei army wants to attack, it must first go to the plank road, and then the front is the county seat of Jiameng, and the relevant pass lies in front of it - it is for Jiameng Pass.

Shi Xun and the generals, staff officers and others rode horses to see Jia Meng, and saw that although the danger of this pass was not as good as Baishui, it was also quite majestic, and it was not easy to attack. He couldn't help sighing: "I don't mean that there are so many dangers in Shuzhong, there is Ma Ming after Baishui, there is Jia Meng after Ma Ming, and there is still Sword Pavilion after that, how can I cross it?" ”

Just as he was hesitating, he heard Cao Zhen ask: "Where is the Sword Pavilion?" ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and quickly took the map to take a look-in front of Jia Meng, and then Dangde and Zi Lu...... Alas, where did the Sword Pavilion go? I think it's just south of Jiameng Pass......

In fact, there was no Sword Pavilion in these years, or there was no Sword Pavilion in this timeline. In the original history, after Zhuge Liang took charge of Shu Zheng, because Dangde County had "thirty miles of road from the big sword to the small sword pass, and the mountains were extremely dangerous", it was here that "the stone was chiseled and overhead for the Feiliang Pavilion Road, so it was called "Sword Pavilion", that is, the Jianmen Pass of later generations.

It was not easy for Xun to recall this, and it was estimated that the Sword Pavilion should be in Dangde County, the specific location is still unknown, and it is likely that the Pavilion Daoguan Liang has not been repaired, and the defensive power will not be as terrifying as when Jiang Wei blocked Zhonghui later. But I don't care how terrifying the Sword Pavilion is, I can't even pass the Jia Meng Pass now, can I?

Li Jiang was still shaking his wit next to him: "You can do demon magic again." "It's Xun who said it's useless, pretending to be a ghost, but you can't do it again. Besides, the terrain of Jiameng Pass is different from Baishui Pass, relatively open, and the gate is also large, how many "smoke and flame miasma" do you have to put to hurt the enemy? There are still famous generals such as Liu Feng, Huang Quan, and Zhao Yun in the pass, and the young Zhang Shao can be compared, even if seventy percent of the soldiers are frightened, they may also have a way to stabilize the morale of the army in a short time. So he ignored Li Jiang, just looked at the map, frowned and asked, "The way into Shu, does it stop here?" ”

Cao Zhen said that it was a pity, this was the first road from Hanzhong to Shu. Shi Xun secretly said in his heart: "If you want to talk about this road to Shu, I know one more ...... than you" (to be continued.) )

PS: Book friend "Lao Tzu's Flat Dan Vine" debuts, that is, Li Jiang and Li Yinzhi. Anyway, the demon he set up, I thought there was no chance to appear, this time I want someone who knows the demon law, just use it, count him lucky, hahahaha~~ Now you can come to guess, will this person be bento?
