Chapter Ninety-Nine: Zhang Jiao Dies

He Jin coughed lightly twice, and then said: "The last general doesn't know why the emperor wants to announce to the world at this time that a thousand knives have cut Kong Ling. ”

"Now the troops in Chang'an City are empty, the grain and grass are scarce, the soldiers are weak and the horses are thin, if the princes' coalition forces attack, how can we defend it?"

He Jin said with some concern.

He can naturally understand Liu Hong's inner thoughts, and he also understands the other party's temperament.

It's just that the current Chang'an City is different from the past.

Their strength is only a second-rate force in the world.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for the orthodox brand of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City would probably fall to a third-rate force.

Sensing He Jin's concern, Liu Hong immediately burst out laughing.

"General He Jin, what is there to worry about?"

"I naturally have a way."

As he spoke, Liu Hong took off the musket he was carrying.

"General He Jin, take off your armor and put it next to the beam."

Hearing Liu Hong's order, He Jin was a little puzzled.

However, he still took off his armor and placed it next to the beam and pillar according to the other party's request.

I saw Liu Hong set up a musket, aimed at the beams and pillars, and then pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire.

The sudden sound suddenly frightened the minister's complexion.

Only Duan Xuan and other generals who had seen the power of muskets were unmoved.

The moment the gunfire rang out, the armor beside the beams and pillars made a crisp cracking sound.

Behind a visible shattered hole was a projectile that drilled into the beam.

It's just that under the impetus of strong kinetic energy, this projectile has been deformed and needs to be rebuilt.

Everyone present was stunned by the sight in front of them.

They never imagined that such a magical scene would happen in front of them.

A small pitch-black pipe can not only make a thunderous sound like a dragon's roar, but also has such great power.

"It's... What exactly is this thing? How amazing it is? ”

He Jin exclaimed.

Hearing this, Liu Hong smiled and explained the effect of the musket to everyone present.

Now he is not afraid of spies with bad intentions or enemy troops.

Almost all those who are still willing to stay in Chang'an City are loyal to him.

Therefore, Liu Hong not only explained the musket, but also went down and told all the experiences of his disappearance for several months.

When he heard that there were other dynasties beyond the distant sea, the surprise of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was even greater.

in their cognition.

There is only the territory of the Han Dynasty in the world, plus the Xiongnu Western Regions in the northwest, Goguryeo in the northeast and the barbarians in the south.

The rest is an endless ocean.

So when Liu Hong built a magnificent map of the world in their heads.

Everyone only felt that their previous perception had been challenged.

However, the civil and military officials were shocked by much more than that.

When Liu Hong took out the sweet potato, they couldn't sit still any longer.

"What? The yield of this sweet potato per acre is 1,500 catties!? ”

"This, where is this sweet potato, this is clearly fairy food!"

"We have sweet potatoes, what kind of famine are we afraid of!"

For a while, everyone in the court was very excited.

No one doubted Liu Hong's words.

Because Liu Hong would never joke about this kind of thing.

"Your Majesty, this sweet potato is really... What life-saving food for the people of the world! ”

Some of the old ministers were even more excited and burst into tears.

People like them have come from abundance to famine, so they know that being able to feed themselves is a luxury.

I don't know how many people's wish before death is to eat a full meal.

"General He Jin, I will leave the cultivation of this sweet potato to you."

Liu Hong said.

Hearing this, He Jin was stunned.

"Your Majesty, I'm just a general who leads troops into battle, and you asked me to take care of the affairs of the Agricultural Division, isn't it..."

Liu Hong waved his hand and smiled indifferently.

"With sweet potatoes, Chang'an City will definitely attract more people to come, and our people can't afford too many troops."

"Therefore, it is necessary to unload the armor and return to the field, fight in wartime, and farm in leisure time."

Liu Hong's words fell.

He Jin understood what the other party meant.

"The last will understand."

He Jin responded respectfully.

Then Liu Hong set his eyes on Lu Bu, who was waiting on the side.

On the way, he also knew the news of Wei Yan's death.

also has a certain understanding of the relationship between Lu Bu and Wei Yan.

Martial arts generals have always been lonely.

Lu Bu finally ran into Wei Yan, a guy who had a good temper with him, and the other party was killed.

Although Lu Bu didn't say it, he was still saddened by Wei Yan's death in his heart.

"Lu Bu, you and Cao Cao are responsible for gathering the craftsmen of the whole city, and learn and study the manufacturing technology with the craftsmen I brought back."

"In a week, I'll see a thousand muskets."

Liu Hong ordered again.

Hearing the other party's order, both Lu Bu and Cao Cao looked stunned.

However, he still respectfully accepted the order, and then retreated.

Looking at the direction in which the two left, Liu Hong smiled.

He arranged Lu Bu and Cao Cao together for a purpose.

With Cao Cao's emotional intelligence, he is bound to be good friends with Lu Bu.

At that time, it will also allow Lu Bu to get out of the pain of losing his friend as soon as possible.

Do it all.

Liu Hong planned to thank another person, but he looked left and right, but he didn't find the other party's figure.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who knows where Heavenly Prison Zhang Jiao is?"

When the civil and military officials heard Liu Hong's question, their faces changed.

Sensing the change in everyone's complexion, Liu Hong was stunned in place.

"But who wants to stand up and tell me what happened to the Heavenly Prison?"

His voice suddenly darkened.

"Return, return to Your Majesty... Zhang Jiaohe... He had been killed by Yuan Yao's general Zhang Xun two months earlier. ”

"That guy also killed General Wei Yan."

A minister said with a trembling voice.

"Kara."

A crisp voice rang out.

Everyone looked up in amazement.

found that Liu Hong's right hand actually flattened the barrel of the musket.

The face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

For Wei Yan's death, Liu Hong can still bear it.

But Zhang Jiao's death made it difficult for him to accept.

This time he went to crusade against the Huns, if Zhang Jiao hadn't changed his life for him, Liu Hong would have died on Olaf's ship.

As for the night after the frequent death, the miraculous healing of the wound should be the result of Zhang Jiao's change of life for him.

It's a pity that Zhang Jiao calculated Liu Hong's fate and changed Liu Hong's fate, but in the end he didn't count his own death.

"Zhang Xun... Yuan Yao..."

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Liu Hong's eyes.

He had never hated anyone so much.

"Yuan Yao!"

"I swear to kill you! Break your body into pieces! To comfort Zhang Jiao and Wei Yan's spirit in the sky! ”

He slammed the table to his feet, his eyes splitting.

Liu Hong will definitely make Yuan Yao pay a heavy price!
