Peng Yu replied: "Definitely can." The emperor, the 10,000 recruits led by the second son Peng Yi, is estimated to be able to reach the White Emperor City tonight, if he can sneak attack the Chu army, he will be caught off guard, and after learning that Zhong Neng has withdrawn the army, Lu Guang will definitely lead the Chu army to retreat to Jingzhou. ”

Hong Chen thought for a while: "Father-in-law, this is not necessarily. ”

"If Zhong Neng breaks away from the Liang State, or listens to the Xuan and does not listen to the tune, and divides the two counties of Hanzhong and Wudu, the Liang State will instead deploy more troops in the surrounding counties to defend or eliminate Zhong Neng's troops. On the contrary, it will make Lu Guang have no fear and continue to attack the White Emperor City. ”

Peng Yu was instantly embarrassed: "That's right! The emperor is wise! That Weichen informed Jiang Tai and asked him to leave 30,000 elite soldiers to guard the Jianmen Pass, and personally led 30,000 elite soldiers to aid the White Emperor City. ”

Hong Chen waved his hand: "In case it is designed by Zhong Neng, it will be troublesome, there are 60,000 elite soldiers in Jianmen Pass, and you can't move for the time being." ”

"I believe that Luo Hui can defend the White Emperor City, and with the second brother leading 10,000 recruits to help, it will never be fine."

"But I'm worried that if the second brother is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions and carry out a sneak attack, the combat effectiveness of the recruits will not be good, but it will affect morale."

"If I can contact the second brother as soon as possible, I hope that he will set up a camp outside the White Emperor City to fight steadily, and form a rivalry with the White Emperor City, so that Lu Guang feels helpless, then it would be the best."

"In addition, the barbarian king of Wuling, Shamoke, used to worship my grandfather Yingzong very much, although Grandpa Yingzong has been dead for many years, Shamoke is still in the prime of life."

"If we can incorporate the Wuling Mountains and the population into our Dayan, build roads from Qiqi County, Fuling County, and Badong County to there, and move 200,000 people to the past, and mix and assimilate Wulingman, we can condescend at any time and threaten the counties in the south of Jingzhou."

"At that time, even if the Chu State does not ally with my Great Yan, in order to avoid being blocked by Wuling Man by land, he will not dare to attack the White Emperor City again!"

Peng Yu felt that it made perfect sense, and then asked, "Your Majesty, who will you send to contact Shamoke?" Moreover, it is difficult to travel by land in the mountainous area, starting from the national capital, I am afraid that it will not take five days, and it will be difficult to see Shamoko! ”

Hong Chen thought about it for a while: "Since the northern border has now retreated, only the White Emperor City remains, and it is safe and worry-free, then inform Dong Feng and ask him to take someone to Fuling County by boat first, and then go to Wulingman by land, and temporarily cancel the trip to the Chu State Alliance." ”

"You contact the second brother as soon as possible, and ask the second brother to send someone to inform Bajun and Fuling Taishou to prepare all kinds of items that Wuling Man needs as gifts, and as soon as Dong Feng and his party arrive, they will send troops to escort them until they meet Shamoke."

Peng Yu felt that it was not too late, and considering that taking the initiative to go to the Chu State Alliance would damage the dignity of Dayan, he hurriedly said goodbye, returned home soon, and wrote letters as soon as possible.

As soon as he walked towards the palace gate leading to the harem, Hong Chen heard An Ran's voice coming from behind, instantly frowned, and turned around.

"An Ran, why are you still in the palace? Didn't you follow the An family to Nanzhong? Didn't I already arrange for you to Zhu Ticheng to assist Huo Wu? ”

An Ran, who was covered in armor and fully armed, smiled and patted his horse over: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood!" ”

"I am now the deputy chief appointed by the queen herself, responsible for the security of the entire palace."

"I'm patrolling the palace right now!"

Hong Chen was very skeptical: "Won't it?" Will the queen agree to your stay and appoint you deputy governor? ”

An Ran hurriedly said, "Really." I swore to heaven that I would not take revenge, that I would not harm you and her, and that you would not harm your future children, and that I was sent by Master to assist you, and she believed me. After she saw my martial arts, she decided to come down! ”

Hong Chen sighed: "Alas! All right. In that case, then you stay in the palace for the time being. By the way, after I ascend the throne, you can be in charge of the harem guards, and you will have nothing to do to train the palace maids and teach more martial arts. ”

An Ran smiled and nodded: "Yes!" Emperor! Otherwise, I'll take you to the Frost Palace, and you'll be there soon on horseback. ”

"No, I don't. You keep patrolling, I'm gone! Hong Chen hurriedly trotted away.

An Ran looked at Hong Chen's back and smiled slightly.

Finally returning to the Frost Palace, after Hong Chen asked the supervisor Zhao Ya to leave with the palace maid, he quickly came to the hot spring bath in the backyard pavilion.

At this time, Peng Lan'er was already taking a bath in the bath to practice Changchun Gong, and when she heard the sound of rustling, she immediately opened her eyes and found that Hong Chen was coming.

"Brother, you're back, I'll dress you well."

"Okay!" Hong Chen felt that although he could remove his clothes soon, Peng Lan'er helping him actually made her feel more at home in the palace.

Soon, the two hugged each other in the bath, and after making out for a long time, Hong Chen returned to the bedroom with Peng Lan'er in his arms.

"Brother, before my three elder brothers took the family center and sent a lot of bags of things from the north gate of the palace, saying that you want it, and it has been prepared, and I asked the palace maids to put it in the cold palace."

After Peng Lan'er finished whispering, Hong Chen nodded: "Then tomorrow after breakfast, you choose some palace maids, follow me to the cold palace, and make some things!" ”

Peng Lan'er was a little curious: "Well, brother, what is it?" ”

"You'll know tomorrow. Lan'er, it's not too early, rest early. ”

Hong Chen kissed Peng Lan'er a few times deeply, feeling more and more impulsive, and wanted to get her as soon as possible, so he could only quickly let go of her, and after being a little farther away, he gradually fell asleep.

After breakfast, Peng Lan'er called ten supervisors and a hundred palace maids under their jurisdiction, and followed Hong Chen to the cold palace.

The cold palace is very simple and old, plus the trees shade the sky and the sun, there are not many people in ordinary times, and crows and rats are often infested.

Hong Chen inspected each sack one by one, and found that they had all been classified by the palace maids and placed in different rooms, and then praised them verbally.

"There will be no more cold palaces in the future! In the future, it is necessary to clean the place frequently, prune the trees and flowers, feed more cats, and eliminate rats to avoid plague. ”

After Hong Chen finished speaking, Peng Lan'er and the palace maids nodded again and again, and then under Hong Chen's arrangement or guidance, they began to do things in their brother's room.

Soon after, all the supervisors and palace maids who had no official business also rushed to help.

Hong Chen led the daughters to a busy day in the cold palace, and after eating the dinner sent by the palace maids, he let the ladies leave, including Peng Lan'er.

He wants to make the most advanced black powder, there is a certain danger, plus this is a secret, and he doesn't want anyone to know about it for the time being.

In the middle of the night, when all the black powder was fried, he carefully packed it into several small clay pots.

As long as the lead made of oiled paper is put into a small clay pot, and then the thistle terrestris is put in it, the small clay pot is sealed, and then wrapped in leather, it can be used as a weapon with great lethality.

Hong Chen named this weapon Tianlei, and as long as the thunder sounds, it can kill and injure the enemy in pieces.

Of course, if you don't add tribulus terrestris and add more black powder, then it can be used to carry out blasting, build roads and mines, blow up enemy fortifications and city defense passes, etc., it should not be difficult.

Hong Chen was excited, and decided to go out of the palace to try the effect, so he simply took a few heavenly thunders, rode the little white dragon out of the city, and came to Longquan Mountain in the northeast suburbs.
