I don't know how long Shangguan Xiu and Guangfang's fight lasted, and in the end, even the spirit armor of the two people after the transformation of the armor was broken, and the two of them who were out of breath finally stopped.

There is no one who loses or wins in this battle, and it is not a life-and-death fight, the two are more venting.

Shangguan Xiu sat down on a broken stone pillar, scattered the spirit armor on his body, wiped the sweat on his face, turned his head and looked, Guangfang was sitting on the stone pile not far from him, his face was also red, and his nose and sideburns were beads of sweat.

He smiled, and after a while, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said quietly: "You just killed 2,000 brothers, and you feel uneasy, do you know what it feels like for me to kill 200,000 brothers in a foreign land?"

Guang Fang, who was raising his hand to wipe his sweat, was stunned when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Shangguan Xiu who was sitting on the stone pillar. The latter said with a deep gaze: "A whole 200,000 people, just because of my decision, have never been able to return to their hometowns." In my heart, I rubbed my intestines, and in the dead of night, the desperate wails of 200,000 brothers could ring in my ears. ”

"It's not 200,000, but in the end, tens of thousands of them came back...... Guangfang looked at Shangguan Xiu blankly and muttered in a low voice. If you think about it carefully, this setback you have suffered is nothing compared to the setback suffered by Shangguan Xiu. Note: Character anti-filter to watch the latest chapters

Shangguan Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "The Zhenjun Army originally had four legions, and now, even the establishment of two legions is not enough, I am really ashamed of Zhenjun's blind date." At the end, he let out a long exhale, and the wide fang sitting in front of him could clearly see two droplets of water rolling down his eyes.

Guang Fang Teng stood up, his arm emitting a white mist, and the spirit armor was covered on his arm, and without warning, he aimed at the half of the stone pillar where Shangguan Xiu was sitting, and punched viciously.

Bang! This punch hit, and immediately there was an extra pit on the stone pillar, and then, the crack spread along the pit to all sides, and with a crisp sound, half of the stone pillar was broken into thousands of pieces, and Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting on it, also fell to the ground. Guang Fang waved his arm, scattered the spirit armor on his arm, walked behind Shangguan Xiu, raised his hand, and pressed his shoulder.

"Are you comforting me?" Shangguan Xiutou asked without replying.

Guangfang was silent. He is the one who needs to be comforted, but now it's good, he has to comfort Shangguan Xiu.

Before he answered, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "No need, you don't need to comfort me." Since you have chosen the path of joining the army, you should be mentally prepared for this, and you should have unyielding tenacity. One or two defeats can't defeat us, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they can't crush us, and the only thing that can defeat us is ourselves. The dead brothers are dead and will not be resurrected, and the living must do something for them, and they must always be worthy of the souls of their brothers in heaven. ”

His words seemed to smash into Guangfang's heart, his body shook a few times, knelt on the ground, and couldn't help crying loudly.

Shangguan Xiu turned back to his figure, looked at Guangfang who was kneeling and crying, he patted him on the shoulder heavily, and said meaningfully: "I hope that from today onwards, you can grow into a warrior and a general, and on the battlefield in the future, I hope to be side by side with Jun and gallop on the battlefield, which is also what my heart desires!" After speaking, Shangguan Xiu patted him on the shoulder again and walked past him.

He walked a long way, Guangfang finally stopped crying, stood up from the ground, turned around and shouted loudly: "My lord, from today on, Guangfang is an adult's person, no matter where he goes to the ends of the earth, Guangfang is willing to follow his adult!"

Shangguan Xiu's figure stopped, turned his head, and a smile bloomed on his face, which looked so dazzling and dazzling in the reflection of the sun. He stretched out his hand to Guangfang and said, "I'm here, what are you waiting for?"

Guangfang was stunned, looked up to the sky and laughed twice, wiped the tears on his face, and quickly chased after Shangguanxiu.

Now he can finally understand why Master insisted on taking refuge in Shangguan Xiu in the first place, he is indeed a lord worthy of following, a friend worthy of deep friendship, and a trustworthy brother.

For a long time, although Guangfang stayed in the Zhenjun Army, he did not really regard the Zhenjun Army as his future belonging, and now, he finally found a sense of belonging in the Zhenjun Army, and also found a man who could guide him forward and was worthy of him to follow and fight side by side.

This is precisely what Shangguan Xiu is good at figuring out people's hearts and being good at employing people.

When Huya Pass was rebuilt, Shangguan Xiu did not put forward too many requirements, he only mentioned one point, that is, to build an ancestral hall in Huya Pass City to commemorate the martyrs of the Zhenjun Army, and to engrave the names of all the fallen soldiers in the ancestral hall, so that future generations can remember their names and remember their contributions and sacrifices for Zhenjun and the Wind Country.

In Shangguan Xiu's words, a nation that does not respect the dead will never respect the living, even if it is a pawn at the lowest level of the army, as long as he sacrifices his life for the country and sacrifices for the country, he is qualified to be remembered by future generations.

The fiasco in Ningnan caused too many losses to the Zhenjun army, not to mention countless casualties among the soldiers, and even Wu Nian was killed in the chaos of the army.

Wu Nian's death is the most painful for Shangguan Xiu, the Zhenjun Army is already short of strategists, and Wu Nian is the first strategist of the Zhenjun Army, his advice and advice often make the undecided Shangguan Xiu firm confidence, and his trust in Wu Nian is far beyond the reach of others.

A big reason why he insisted on building an ancestral hall in Huyaguan was to pay tribute to Wu Nian and commemorate this brother who was frail and sick, but was willing to go with him on an expedition to Ningnan regardless of life and death.

While organizing labor and building Huya Pass on a large scale, the Zhenjun Army was also actively recruiting new soldiers. Although the Zhenjun army suffered a heavy defeat and heavy losses in Ningnan, in the battle of Zhenjun itself, it showed bravery, especially the spirit of swearing not to take a step back, which resonated with the people of Zhenjun.

There was an endless stream of people from Zhenjun who came to join the army, and each of the ten counties of Zhenjun recruited a large number of recruits, and finally concentrated in Xijing, the county capital, for unified training and drills.

Conscription requires not only prestige and recognition, but also a lot of money.

The silver extorted by Shangguan Xiu from Gu Chunyuan finally came in handy, and in addition, Tang Wanyun also used the influence of her county lord to collect a large amount of grain and grass from Yuhuan Anchuan and other counties, helping the Zhenjun army to dispel the worries of insufficient grain and grass.

Conscription at the expense of a lot of money, of course, is not for the sake of raising people, but for the sake of fighting. With less than 50,000 newly recruited troops, Shangguan Xiu planned to lead the two existing legions north to fight in Ningjun and fight to the death against the Ningnan army that invaded Ningjun.

The generals and strategists of the Zhenjun army did not think that now was a good opportunity to send troops to Ningjun. First, the Ningnan army that invaded Ningjun has shown a weak trend, the army stays in Ningjun, unable to go south, and in a short period of time, it will not pose much threat to the Fengguo, and there is no need to rush your own counterattack. Second, the Zhenjun army itself has just experienced several major battles, with heavy casualties and exhaustion, even if it is an iron man, it still needs time to rest, not to mention that the soldiers of the Zhenjun army are also flesh and blood, and they are unable to do a long expedition.

Zhengun, the county seat, Xijing.

On this day, Shangguan Xiu was in the study of the county governor's mansion and found Jin Wan'er to discuss matters. Jin Wan'er did not catch up with the defeat of the Zhenjun army, she came to Zhenjun in the wind country before the defeat of the Zhenjun army, and was placed in Xijing City.

In the past, Shangguan Xiu didn't pay attention to what she said about the firecracker, but now, he respects Jin Wan'er like a guest.

According to Jin Wan'er's statement, the fire gun was not developed by Emperor Huaide, the eldest grandson of Emperor Ningnan, and the real maker was her husband, Tang Qing, and in Jin Wan'er's hands, he did have the drawings for making the fire gun.

In the study, Shangguan Xiu took the drawings brought by Jin Wan'er and compared them with the actual firecrackers that were seized. There are not two drawings, but dozens of them, some of which are simpler than the real thing, and some of which are more complex than the real thing.

Looking at the thick drawings, Shangguan Xiu was one head and two big.

Jin Wan'er saw him flipping through and checking each drawing one by one, she smiled indifferently and said, "My lord, there are dozens of plans for the fire gun designed by the late husband, and the one that was finally finalized is the current one. ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded as he watched. After a moment, he asked, "Is this fire gun the best design?"

Jin Wan'er shook her head slowly and said, "Not really." ”

"Oh, what does the best design look like?" asked Shangguan Xiu curiously.

Jin Wan'er Zhengse said: "The current fire gun can be regarded as the second generation of fire guns, the most primitive fire guns, there is no trigger device, to detonate the gunpowder, you can only light the medicine twist first, cumbersome, and the shooting time is not easy to control." Attaching a trigger to detonate gunpowder by striking a flint is easy to operate and greatly improves accuracy, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot be used in rainy days. When it rains, the flint is damp and cannot hit the spark, so naturally it cannot detonate the gunpowder in the fire barrel. ”

Now that I think about it, the Ningnan Army really chose to fight on sunny days, but when it was cloudy and rainy, it avoided fighting instead of fighting, and it turned out that the problem was in this aspect.

He rolled his eyes and asked, "So, the best design you said was to overcome the defect that the firecracker could not be used in rainy days?"

Jin Wan'er smiled, secretly praised her cleverness in her heart, she nodded, and said: "That's true, the third-generation fire gun is designed with flint inside the fire gun, which can effectively prevent rain. ”

"Ning Nan didn't know there was such a design?"

"No, the imperial court knows, but this design is too cumbersome to manufacture and requires a very high level of craftsmanship. The manufacture of the second-generation firecracker is very difficult to mass-produce, and the manufacture of the third-generation firecracker has almost no possibility of mass production, I think, this is also the reason why the imperial court is reluctant to manufacture the third-generation firecracker on a large scale. ”
