Chapter 269: Helping the Barracks Upgrade Their Weapons

"Boss Yi, but it's okay to say it!"

Qiao Xin was ecstatic for a while when he saw that Yi Mingxue actually agreed.

As long as Yi Mingxue doesn't let him betray his lord and commit treason, he can agree to any other conditions.

Yi Mingxue glanced at everyone in the account and asked Qiao Xin to retreat from the rest of the generals first.

Only she, General Qiao himself, and Ji Rongshan were left.

After everyone left, Yi Mingxue spoke.

"General Qiao, I know that you are going to Baituguan to sneak attack the enemy's grain and grass camp."

Before she finished speaking, Qiao and Ji both had their eyes burned.

Qiao Xin frowned tightly, and said solemnly, "Although the secret letter from Baitu Pass was sent to me through your channel, the secret reports in the army are all in code, even the person who sent the letter may not be able to understand its true meaning, how do you know?" ”

Yi Mingxue expected him to ask this.

So, take advantage of the trend to lead to the core topic.

"General Qiao, you didn't suspect that there were traitors in your barracks?"

"What?! That's impossible! Ji Rongshan didn't think about it, and immediately blurted out.

But Yi Mingxue chuckled.

Her laughter was emotionless, but it made the two generals feel a chill down their spines for no reason.

"Not necessarily."

In the original book, this surprise attack at Baitu Pass was originally planned very carefully.

But in the end, he was ambushed by the enemy due to leaks in the support force, that is, Qiao Xin's battalion.

Qiao Xin was also infamous as a sinner through the ages because of this, and even if he finally died at the border, he failed to get the martyr treatment he deserved.

"I advise you, adjust your plans. Don't rush out of camp until you catch this mole. ”

Then, as if something had suddenly occurred to her, she asked again.

"There is a man in your camp who has been wounded in the throat and speaks like ...... Is it a see-saw person? ”

She vaguely remembered when she first came to Qiyang Town.

I once inadvertently bumped into such a person, who was talking secretly with Chu Yu.

Since this person is the secret stake of the Chu family, he must know more.

Ji Rongshan touched the slag on his chin and thought seriously.

"My throat was wounded, and my voice sounded like a tug-of-war. There really is such a person, it is Chu Tongwen, the deputy of the military doctor! ”

"Is he a spy?"

Yi Mingxue immediately shook her head, "He may not be a spy, but he should know a lot." ”

Now, she has to sell a wave of Chu Yu.

But fortunately, she has already determined that Qiao Xin is in the same camp as the new prince and the Chu family.

In that case, why not work together?

The scheming matter is easy to stop at the point and no longer go deeper.

She believes that Qiao Xin must have a way.

But if you want to save Qiao Xin's army, it's not enough to catch the spies.

"General Joe, with all due respect. If you want to win this surprise attack, finding out the traitor is only the first step. ”

"When I entered the camp, I noticed that the soldiers were very poorly armed. I once encountered a group of rebels on the border of Zhongzhou, and even their weapons and armor were better than yours, let alone the main force of the enemy country. ”

Fighting a war is about armaments and food, and without sophisticated weapons, it is fighting with the bodies of soldiers.

The odds are slim to none.

Yi Mingxue's words broke through the key, which made the general, who was over half a hundred years old, couldn't help but fall silent.

"It's not that we don't want to use good weapons, it's ...... No armament, no nothing! Ji Rongshan replied in a heavy tone.

Yi Mingxue frowned: "I don't understand, General Ji bought a blueprint of the bow and crossbow from me a few years ago, why didn't he put it into use?" ”

"Alasβ€”" Ji Rongshan let out a long sigh.

"As soon as I got the drawings, I asked the Ministry of Engineering. However, the Ministry of Industry replied that the bow and crossbow did not meet the armament standards and would not be put into mass production. ”

"How so?" Yi Mingxue didn't believe it at all, the drawing of the bow and crossbow was transcribed by her own hands.

Even in the last days, it is a very useful weapon.

Ji Rongshan couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Huh! But just a few months ago, I saw the existence of such a bow and crossbow in the enemy's military formation. ”

The Ministry of Works, too, has a traitor.

All three of them fell silent.

Ji Rongshan was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table frame beside him.

It is also thanks to the durability of the tables and chairs in the barracks, otherwise I am afraid that they will be scattered into a pile of wooden shelves on the spot.

After a while, Yi Mingxue suddenly spoke.

"It doesn't matter! I've got a higher level here. Not only is it more lethal than the crossbow, but it's also easier to carry. ”

"But I need some time."

Hearing Yi Mingxue's words, Qiao Xin and Ji Rongshan both raised their heads in surprise.

Ji Rongshan was so shocked by the treasure trove in front of him that he couldn't speak.

Qiao Xin quickly asked, "How long will it take?" ”

Yi Mingxue pondered for a moment, "If I can quickly gather three hundred blacksmiths, I can make five hundred in fifteen days." As for more, score batches to build. ”

"Fifteenth." Qiao Xin repeated.

But the surprise attack plan of Baitu Pass was only three days later.

"I'll give you ten days! And it's to be built in secret. ”

Yi Mingxue's eyes flashed slightly, but she also knew that time was pressing.

After only a moment's hesitation, she nodded in response.

"Okay! I'll give it my all. ”

Qiao Xin looked at the extraordinarily reliable woman in front of him, and suddenly his mood was inexplicable.

Immediately, he couldn't help but sigh a little: "If Boss Yi is born as a man, he is afraid that the vast world will do more." ”

Unexpectedly, Yi Mingxue smiled.

"General, women can do too."

Qiao Xin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! That's a good point! Women can too! ”

After Yi Mingxue left, Qiao Xin called Ji Rongshan alone.

"You find a reason to go out of the camp alone, and then go to Baitu Pass quickly and postpone the surprise attack plan. In the camp, I will pull out the camp as originally planned, and then take the opportunity to find out the traitors. ”

"Yes, General."

……

As soon as Yi Mingxue returned to Fengyun Town, she mobilized all her men and began to gather carpenters and blacksmiths.

Although it took a lot of twists and turns, fortunately, she has a wide network and many paths.

Almost as soon as she gave the order, blacksmiths and carpenters from all over the county rushed to the city.

In addition, during this period of time, Fengyun Town gathered a lot of people from other places. Among them, there are some craftsmen who know how to smelt and carpenter.

As a result, Yi Mingxue only took a day and a half to gather three hundred craftsmen.

That night, she sent people to the iron ore field in Tongluo Mountain overnight.

Because of General Qiao's military order, the officials guarding the mine did not dare to slack off at all.

Yi Mingxue took out several weapon drawings that she had copied overnight.

The carpenters led the carpenters to make molds, and then the other blacksmiths were responsible for crafting various parts.

Finally, let a sapper sent by Qiao Xin be responsible for the assembly.

This allows them to familiarize themselves with the inner workings of these weapons while quickly mastering how to use them.

It's a win-win-win-win

She said it deliberately
