Everyone stood in front of the valley after the explosion, looking at the scene in front of them, and couldn't help but gasp in unison.

The tops of the stone walls on both sides of the valley were shattered and collapsed.

The section of the road that is tens of meters long is filled with a large number of stones, and the piled up gravel is at least ten meters high.

Especially in the middle of the rubble pile, there is a huge stone weighing hundreds of tons, which is rigidly embedded in the bottom of the valley road, completely sealing the entire valley.

"Those Khitans are really ruthless enough to come up with such a shady trick." Zhao Tiefist's eyes flashed with anger.

Yang Mazi on the side couldn't help but say: "If the valley is blown up like this, how much gunpowder did those Khitans carry?" ”

"Gunpowder alone is not enough." Looking at the collapsed valley in front of him, Jiang Chun interjected: "Among these Khitans, there must be masters who are proficient in explosives, and they are very good at picking places. ”

"Master, what should we do now?"

Looking at the collapsed and blocked valley, Yang Zheng had a headache, "The Khitan people blew up the valley, the purpose is to force us out, in my opinion, they won't come in for a while, let's go back." ”

The crowd nodded, and returned to the city again.

After returning to the city, Yang Zheng summoned all the core leaders in the city to the main hall of the big stone house, ready to hold a meeting to discuss how to face the current problems.

Yang Zheng sat on the main seat, looked at everyone and said, "Now that the Khitans have blown up the valley and blocked the only passage for us to enter and exit, do you have any good plans to solve this matter?" ”

When they heard this, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, because they couldn't think of any good way to solve it.

At this time, Yang Meng, who was sitting at the bottom, spoke: "Big brother, have those Khitans retreated?" ”

Yang Zheng shook his head, "I don't know, I'm worried that the enemy is waiting outside, once we leave the Bluestone Fort and lose our defensive advantage, we will easily suffer losses in the face of those Khitans with artillery." ”

Yang Meng said again: "Then let's stay in the bluestone fort, and the Khitans outside are consuming, anyway, now we have enough food and grass in the city, and if we can't survive for a few days, the Khitans will retreat, and then we will send someone to remove the gravel blocked in the valley." ”

"Move out?"

Yang Zheng glared at him angrily, "Small stones can be moved, but how can those boulders weighing tens of thousands of catties, tens of thousands of catties, and hundreds of thousands of catties be moved?" ”

"Blow it up with gunpowder!" Yang Meng said disapprenously: "The Khitan people have gunpowder, don't we also have gunpowder in the mine." ”

Hearing this, Yang Zheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked Yang Qian, "Second brother, these days, you have been managing the mine of Bluestone Castle, how much gunpowder is there over there?" ”

Yang Qian lowered his head and thought for a while, "It's almost consumed, and it is estimated that there are less than 100 catties of gunpowder." ”

"And a hundred pounds of gunpowder......"

Yang Zheng pondered for a moment and turned his gaze to Jiang Chun and Xu Hu, these two people were originally working in the mines, so they should know more about the explosion of this ancient gunpowder than they all do.

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng looked at Jiang Chun and asked, "Brother Jiang, can a hundred catties of gunpowder level the valley blocked by boulders?" ”

Jiang Chun shook his head and said: "It's impossible, let's see the place where it collapsed just now, just the boulder embedded in the middle of the valley is like a hill, a hundred catties of gunpowder can't even blow up the boulder, besides, even if we have enough gunpowder and want to dredge the valley full of boulders, it will not happen overnight, at least it will take several months, and now there is a lack of gunpowder, and it is difficult to chisel the boulder by manpower to clear it." ”

Hearing this, Yang Zheng frowned and said: "Now there are more than 2,000 people in our city, and the grain and grass that we snatched back from Panlong Town last time can't last a few months. ”

The valley is blocked, the road is blocked, and everyone knows how powerful it is, but no one can think of a good way to solve it.

Everyone gathered in the big stone house and discussed all morning, but they didn't say why, and in desperation, Yang Zheng let everyone disperse.

After everyone left, Yang Zheng sat alone in the hall, looking very depressed.

At this time, Yang An suddenly ran in from outside, "Owner, someone wants to see you." ”

Yang Zheng asked, "Who?" ”

"It's called Lian...... Lian Bijun's woman. ”

"Lianbi-kun?"

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, "What did she do when she saw me for no reason?" ”

Yang An said: "She said that she had something important to discuss with the owner. ”

Yang Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let her in." ”

A faint fragrance came to his nose, and as soon as Yang Zheng raised his head, he saw Lian Bijun standing in front of him, although he was not in a very good mood now, but etiquette still had to be done, and immediately waved his hand, signaling her to sit casually.

After Lian Bijun took a seat, Yang Zheng asked casually, "What is Miss Lian looking for me?" ”

Lian Bijun looked at him with a smile, "Can't you see Lord Yang Bao if you're fine?" It seems that Lord Yang is very busy. ”

Yang Zheng sighed softly, "Even the girl laughed, today's Khitan attack on Qingshi Fort, blowing up the valley and blocking the passage, really made me a little anxious." ”

Hearing this, Lian Bijun's face turned straight and said, "I came here for this matter." ”

Yang Zheng was stunned, "What does the girl think?" ”

Lian Bijun raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "I have a question I want to ask Lord Yang Castle." ”

Yang Zheng said: "You ask." ”

Lianbi Jun's beautiful eyes flashed, stared at Yang Zheng's eyes and asked, "What does Lord Yang Castle think of this place in Bluestone Castle?" ”

Yang Zheng replied without thinking: "Bluestone Fort occupies a natural danger barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a good place to settle down and start a business." ”

Hearing this, Lian Bijun shook his head, a rare hint of wisdom flashed in his eyes, "Lord Yang Castle, you are wrong, this place of Qingshi Fort seems to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has a defensive advantage, but it is a rootless land, to put it mildly, it is a Jedi." ”

Yang Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Why do you say this? ”

Lian Bijun stirred her long eyelashes and said slowly: "Bluestone Fort was originally a mine, not a real city, and the land here is scarce, making it difficult to farm, let alone be self-sufficient. All the grain and grass materials in the city need to be transported from the outside, and more importantly, Bluestone Fort only has a narrow valley road leading to the outside, as long as the road is cut off, Bluestone Fort will immediately become a lonely city struggling and dying! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Zheng's heart was shocked, and he woke up in an instant, and immediately he took a deep breath, looked at Lian Bijun deeply, and said, "I wish to hear the girl's high opinion!" ”

Lian Bijun smiled indifferently, a glimmer of light flashed in his beautiful eyes, "If Lord Yang Bao has a long-term vision, he should know very well that this place is not suitable for a long time!" ”
