The arrival of Liu Wendao injected a trace of vitality into the isolated city of Xizhou. Many soldiers who were busy looked at this reinforcement army that should not exist with curiosity.

Liu Wendao was not stage frightened, and whenever a Tang soldier looked at him, he nodded friendlyly. The people brought by Liu Wendao were arranged to live in the front yard of the Earl's Palace, and Zhang Zheng called the busy Prince Saya.

Now Zhang Zheng's position is more like the role of a logistics military division. is only responsible for logistics supply and general direction control, how to fight the war, how to defend the city, should be from the hands of the Saya Prince.

Therefore, how to arrange the unexpected reinforcements of the Mo family, you still have to ask Saya Chu's idea.

Zhang Zheng introduced each other's identities, and Liu Wendao looked at this alien general curiously. There are many foreign generals in high positions in the Tang Dynasty, but they all have real military exploits, such as Qibi He Li, such as Ashina Sheer and so on.

It is not uncommon for foreign generals to be entrusted with important tasks just after surrendering, but they are definitely rare.

Prince Sayachu was also looking at the black-clothed young man in front of him, as the actual supreme commander of Xizhou City at present, he was also very proficient in the culture and history of the Han people.

The hundred schools of thought that they had disappeared in the long river of history have reappeared in the eyes of the world, and Prince Saya is also very curious.

After all, this is the Mohist family, which used to be known as Xianxue along with Confucianism. Seeing that the two looked at each other but did not speak, Zhang Zheng had no choice but to play the role of warming up.

said to Liu Wendao: "At present, all the fortifications in Xizhou City are from the hands of General Sayachu, who can repel the two waves of attacks of the coalition forces of the Western Regions, and General Sayachu has made great contributions. After speaking, he said to Saya Chu: "The people of the Mo family can definitely be entrusted with important tasks, I don't know much about the war, you just look at the arrangement." After speaking, Zhang Zheng kept silent.

"The Mo family's ink master, I have heard of the name for a long time, a certain Saya prince." Sayachu took the lead in breaking the silence between the two and hugged his fist towards Liu Wendao.

Liu Wendao smiled and arched his hand: "General Saya, look up for a long time." Saya Chu didn't talk nonsense and asked, "Dare to ask how many ink people the Mo family sent to help Xizhou this time?" Liu Wendao said: "A certain family is the first to come with 400 people, and the giant is on the way to lead 600 inkers, and it will be there in about three days." ”

"A thousand?" Saya Chu was overjoyed, and his words changed: "I heard that the Mo family is the best at organizing? ”

"Yes!" Seeing this, Zhang Zheng knew that Prince Sayachu had already made arrangements for the Mo family in his heart, so he didn't ask any more.

… Three days passed quietly, and in these three days, the coalition forces of the Western Regions did not attack Xizhou again.

Zhang Zheng guessed that the enemy commander might be trying to find a way to deal with gunpowder. After all, the power of gunpowder was so terrifying that the coalition army would greet it with flesh and blood, and it wouldn't be long before the entire army had to mutiny.

The enemy army did not attack the city, Zhang Zheng was of course more happy to be idle, and ordered people to pay attention to the movements of the enemy army at any time.

Then, continue to bury yourself in making gunpowder. The cost of this thing is extremely low, especially when almost the entire Xizhou City is demolished, and the raw materials are as many as they want.

It's just about the formula, Zhang Zheng didn't dare to let the second person know, so he could only do it himself. On the third day, a resolute-faced young man with hundreds of people led three strange things that looked like plows and carriages appeared outside Xizhou City.

After hearing the report from the guards, Zhang Zheng knew that it must have been Li Wucun. After washing his hands, he instructed his guards to watch over his little dark house and not allow anyone to enter, and then walked out of the city.

Li Wucun still looked like he was not smiling, and when he saw Zhang Zheng, an ugly smile appeared on his face, and as soon as he spoke, he said: "Is the meal ready?" Zhang Zheng: "? Pointing to the messy parts of the three carts, he said, "You explain to me what kind of bullshit these three are?" ”

"I don't know, King Wei said that you will know how to use it if you read it." Li Wucun replied casually and asked again: "Is the meat ready?" Zhang Zheng: "..."Zhang Zheng really wanted to open Li Wucun's brain to see what was inside.

The big war is coming, this guy is actually concerned about whether he has anything to eat? The brain circuit can be described by the word Qingqi!

"Let's eat first!" Zhang Zheng sighed helplessly and introduced Li Wucun and the people he brought into the city.

In the front hall of the county uncle's mansion, looking at Li Wucun feasting, eating a table of food alone, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Originally, he felt that the materials he brought from Chang'an were rich enough, but now it seems that he is afraid that the inventory he brought from Chang'an will soon bottom out.

"Hiccup~" Li Wucun, who was full of food and drink, burped, stood up and said: "By the way, King Wei also said that his super invincible Thunderbolt Whirlwind Overlord has obtained His Majesty's approval, so don't think about changing his name." Zhang Zheng's face twitched unconsciously, and he really wanted to give this rebel a beating.

When Zhang Zheng saw the three piles of parts, he already knew what they were. Seeing that Li Wucun had finished eating, he said, "Let's go, go and try the power of the artillery." ”

"It's the Super Invincible Thunderbolt Whirlwind Overlord." Li Wucun emphasized it again very seriously.

"Whew...", resisting the urge to hit someone, the two walked to an open space. The Mo family's ink masters have already assembled the three cannons.

Zhang Zheng stepped forward to check it, although it was very different from the artillery he imagined. There are a few more bells and whistles in relief, and there is a huge base, and there are no wheels.

But the three swarthy barrels prove its identity. After tapping the barrel a few times, listening to the echo from the barrel, Zhang Zheng felt relieved.

"Copper, just painted on the outside, King Wei said that he originally wanted to use iron to make a cannon barrel, but the strength of the iron did not meet the requirements, and there were always many bubbles in the mold poured out, and said that you should top it for a while, he is hurrying to study the new iron smelting method, and it will be mass-produced at that time." Li Wucun was like a repeater, repeating Li Tai's words word by word.

"Oh, also, King Wei said, these coppers are all sponsored by Her Royal Highness Princess Qinghe, so you can save some use!"

"What?" Zhang Zheng was shocked, pointed to the three artillery pieces in front of him and said loudly: "You said that these three things were made with my family's money?" ”

"That's right, Her Royal Highness Princess Qinghe has emptied the copper coins of the county uncle's mansion a little, and she has even some from the princess's mansion." Li Wucun is also a little painful, in this era, copper is money.

Zhang Zheng's heart throbbed for a while, and he wanted to cry without tears. couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Loser girl, damn it, is it easy for Lao Tzu to save some money..."
