On the west side of the Khan Garden, there are countless large and small iron basins, which are full of black viscous liquid.

Xu Rui and Lin Shaodong stood in front of the iron basin, dumbfounded.

"It's all ...... Petroleum?! ”

After a long time, Xu Rui spoke, and his voice couldn't hide his tremor and surprise.

"This is the black oil that the locals used to ignite and drive away evil spirits, and it was originally used by shamans to worship the immortal heaven, but I remember that Dashuai had ordered the Galaxy Group to collect this thing with a lot of money, so he kept an eye on it and kept all these things, I wonder if it is what Dashuai is looking for?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Xu Rui's heart blossomed, compared to the priceless gold, this thing is a truly precious treasure.

With the successive commercialization of the technological research and development achievements of the Yuanchu base, especially the breakthrough of the internal combustion engine, the demand for petroleum, a new energy source, will rise significantly.

If you can hold super strategic resources such as oil, it is equivalent to holding the throat of the world, and at the same time, it also injects a shot in the arm for the nascent industry.

It can be said that the value of oil is as high as the value of the newly discovered vaults, and it is more hidden, and it does not become hot just because it is known.

"Where did you get this?"

Xu Rui couldn't wait to ask Lin Shaodong.

Lin Shaodong seemed to have been prepared, waved his hand, and immediately a few soldiers walked over with a grassland man.

The steppe man was very small, with his face painted in colourful oil paint, and many animal feathers tied to his head, apparently a shaman of the kind.

This person was quite frightened when he saw Xu Rui, and knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to raise his head for a long time.

It's no wonder that he is like this, the shaman priest is a god stick and so on, and he is very superstitious in himself, Xu Rui not only killed the holy king who was blessed by the immortal heaven with the "divine light" in front of everyone today, but also flew into the sky with the "sun".

In the period of obscurantism, both flying and the sun were objects of worship, let alone gods who were professionally engaged in religious activities.

In his heart, what is standing in front of him now is not a Han official, let alone the commander of the enemy army, but a demon who can kill gods.

The more the shaman thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his body trembled so violently that it was as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the snow.

Xu Rui and Lin Shaodong glanced at each other, and helplessly raised the man's head on tiptoe.

"Hey, where did you find this?"

Xu Rui asked, pointing to the oil in the basin.

"In ...... We...... At...... It's in Poison River...... Found in Poison River! ”

It could be seen that the shaman tried very hard to answer the question, but because of fear in his heart, he continued to speak intermittently.

"Poison River?"

Xu Rui frowned: "What kind of place is that?" ”

The shaman said, "Yes...... About ...... northwest of Khanting About a hundred miles away, there is a swamp, which ...... There was black oil everywhere, and if any bird or beast strayed into it, it would ...... There is no return......"

"How big is the Poison River?"

Hearing this, Xu Rui excitedly approached the shaman priest and asked.

The shaman's face turned pale, his heart was obviously beating faster, he was almost suffocated, and he panicked: "A radius of dozens of miles, no, it is nearly a hundred miles within the scope of the poisonous river, it is very big, very big, beg the king to spare his life, I only know so much, spare my life!" ”

The shaman broke down and fell to his knees with tears in his eyes, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Lin Shaodong waved his hand, and several soldiers immediately dragged this person down, but he thought that he was going to be corrected, crying like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and the sound of hoarseness could be heard in the distance.

"The oil field is a big oil field!"

Xu Rui didn't have time to pay attention to this person at all, and at this moment, his heart was already happy.

If the shaman's words are true, then there is a large oil field more than a hundred miles away from the Khan's court, and it may be a surface oil field with low difficulty in extraction, and it does not even need to use exploration equipment, which is simply a land full of gold waiting for him to pick up.

"Dashuai, are we going to Poison River tomorrow to have a look?"

Seeing that Xu Rui was so excited, Lin Shaodong asked excitedly.

Xu Rui quickly calmed down when he heard this, and shook his head: "Don't worry, although we have defeated Wuliji right now, we have let him escape, and the hidden danger has not been completely eliminated."

There are still more than 100,000 troops in the Zana tribe of Uliji, which is still a powerful force if it can be reintegrated in a short time, as well as Sukhbalu, the king of Yinshan, and other grassland tribes.

They still have at least three or four hundred thousand iron horsemen in total, and it is very difficult to defeat them and completely pacify the grassland.

Today's battle has almost emptied our ammunition reserves, and it will take at least seven or eight days for new supplies to be delivered, and the soldiers are also very tired, and many weapons need to be repaired.

These days are the weakest time for us, and we can't withstand a high-intensity battle.

But fortunately, with the power of today's war, the situation in the various departments of the grassland is quietly changing, and we don't need to worry about someone daring to come and provoke the tiger's whiskers for the time being.

But everything is afraid of a single eventuality, especially the fragile logistics support system, we must make great efforts to maintain, absolutely no mistakes, otherwise once the ammunition, grain and grass can not be supplied, we will become a toothless tiger, at any time may be eaten by the grassland wolves. ”

Lin Shaodong also became solemn when he heard this, and said quietly: "I originally thought that we could settle the situation in one battle, but now it seems that if we want to completely solve the hidden dangers on the grassland, we still have a long way to go." ”

Xu Rui nodded: "If you don't die, you will suffer from it, Wuliji is like a poisonous snake, which may pose a fatal threat to the Central Plains at any time, this time we will use their carelessness to make a contribution in one fell swoop, and we must completely eliminate it."

Otherwise, we will not have such a good opportunity next time, and we will not have so much time and resources to have another grassland war.

Moreover, there are oil fields on the grassland, which is necessary for industrial development, and I also plan to move a large number of factories directly to the four northwestern provinces after the liberation to create our industrial zone.

So no matter what, this battle must be cut off once and for all hidden dangers! ”

Lin Shaodong sighed when he heard this: "With the battle of the Khan Court, I am afraid that the entire grassland will know our strength, and from now on, there will be no more decisive battles with us."

I am most afraid that the steppe people will retreat back to the vast grassland, and use the mobility of the cavalry to constantly attack our logistical baggage, while we are dizzy on the endless grassland, and we can't find the enemy at all, which is the most troublesome thing. ”

Xu Rui sneered when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we are the ones who have the initiative on the battlefield now, and it is up to them whether we fight or not!" ”

Lin Shaodong was stunned: "Is there a way to break the game?" ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "The battle of the grassland is the most important, the previous grassland was dominated by the Wuliji family, and this strong dragon suppressed all the ground snakes that were about to move, but now his strength is greatly damaged, does he still have this ability?"

The grassland right now is a bucket of brown rice with koji, and as long as we wait quietly for it to ferment, we will definitely be able to make the delicious sake we want! ”

Lin Shaodong frowned: "Marshal, the current enemy will still have infighting among the grassland people?" Are they really that short-sighted? ”

Xu Rui sneered: "People who can sit firmly in the leadership position are naturally human spirits and will never be short-sighted, but there is a poison in this world called ambition, and once ambition is born, it will crush reason!" ”

Lin Shaodong pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xu Rui and said seriously: "Dashuai, people may have ambitions, but they also need an opportunity for ambition to breed, shouldn't you have already arranged everything?" ”

Xu Rui smiled mysteriously and said: "You can see far away, didn't I just say that the battle of the grassland is the most important, and the arrangement has been arranged a long time ago, and now we are waiting for it to blossom and bear fruit."

In addition, even if the attack fails, the grassland is still monolithic, or Uliji still has the strength to suppress the head snake of the ground, which is not necessarily a bad thing for us. ”

Lin Shaodong said: "I understand, people who are inspired by your ambition but can't fight Wuliji will seek our help, and even completely fall to us!" ”

Xu Rui nodded: "That's what it means!" ”

Lin Shaodong was puzzled: "But this is all a strategic plan, if Uliji blindly avoids the war and instead attacks our logistics baggage, how will we deal with it?" ”

Xu Rui said confidently: "Don't worry, he doesn't have this opportunity, even if he doesn't want to fight me, he will force him to fight, no matter what, I'm eyeing Wuliji, want to run?" Hmph, it's not that easy! ”
