After Wu Zhen and his party left, all the craftsmen came forward and shouted in unison,

"Thank you to the general for being the master of us, the general really loves the people like a son!"

"Thou hast waited too much. I am ashamed that I failed to get justice for Craftsman Lu and let Wu Zhen's family continue to be at large. ”

Yang Ling sighed, looking a little regretful.

"The general's words are serious!"

Lu Wei's son stepped forward, his eyes flushed and he said,

"The general can stand up for us, and we are grateful!"

"Yes, from now on, if the general says a word, we will go to the soup and the fire, and we will not give up!"

"Yes, as long as you open your mouth, General, we will definitely do it!"

Other craftsmen also chimed in.

If it weren't for Yang Ling's attention, how could they enter the craftsman's workshop and become craftsmen who enjoyed the court's wealth?

Not only that, but Yang Ling was even more for them, to brazenly confront high-ranking officials and nobles like Wu Zhen.

Although these craftsmen came from humble backgrounds, they also knew the word loyalty.

Such kindness, they will naturally not forget!

……

Wu Zhen was scolded in public for thirty-one years, and soon it came in Xu Ducheng, and he was also a laughing stock.

While people laughed at Wu Qian, they also sighed that Yang Ling was affectionate and righteous, and was willing to stand up for the people.

His cronies became a laughing stock, and Cao Pi naturally had a dull face.

However, fortunately, the craftsman's workshop quickly resumed operation, and in less than three days, the ordnance that Sima Yi needed was produced.

Cao Pi temporarily suppressed his anger and sent people to quickly transport this batch of ordnance to the front line in Jingzhou.

A few days later.

Changsha County.

Xiajun County.

Sima Yi went all the way south to Changsha County, succeeded Xiahou Shang, and became the general of the expedition to the south.

Soon after he took office, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others immediately organized several waves of counteroffensives after learning that Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor and Yang Ling was transferred.

Sima Yi did not dare to slack off, and personally rushed to Xiajun County, which was located on the front line, to give command.

Fortunately, the generals of the Cao army were brave and the combat power of the soldiers was amazing, so they repelled several attacks of the Sun-Liu coalition army in a row!

Sima Yi was in the camp to deal with government affairs, but he heard a commotion outside.

Immediately after the camp curtain was lifted, it was his younger brother Sima Fu and Sima Kui who walked in.

The two laughed excitedly,

"Second brother, look who's coming!"

Sima Yi was stunned, only to see Chen Qun walk in again, smiling and saying,

"Zhongda, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come to harm?"

Among the courtiers, only Chen Qun can be regarded as Sima Yi's best friend.

Suddenly seeing his friend, Sima Yi was also surprised and happy, dropped the brush in his hand, and stood up to greet him.

"Changwen, why are you here?"

"I am here to deliver ordnance to you on the orders of Your Majesty."

Chen Qun said with a smile.

"I see, Changwen has been working hard all the way, it's really hard for you!"

Sima Yi suddenly understood.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they got down to business.

"This batch of armor and ordnance should have been delivered half a month ago, how could it be delayed for so long?"

Sima Yi frowned.

"Zhongda, after you left Xu Du, a lot of things happened."

Chen Qun sighed slightly, and brought about the chaos that had been caused after Wu Zhen took charge of the craftsman's workshop.

When Sima Yi heard this, he was so angry that he slammed the table.

"Wu Zhen, this bastard, I have told him before, but I didn't expect him to take my words to heart!"

It was not easy for him and Cao Pi to seize the opportunity to take the craftsman workshop from Yang Ling.

But he didn't expect Wu Zhen to be so incompetent, he would just lose face, and Cao Pi was forced to return the craftsman workshop to Yang Ling!

"Now that it's over, there's nothing to complain about. Fortunately, all the armor and ordnance you need have been built. ”

Chen Qun comforted Sima Yi and handed over the list.

After Sima Yi took it, he looked at the contents of the list, but was stunned.

"Why don't you see the Fierce Fire Oil?"

Although he has only been in Changsha for a long time, Sima Yi has already seen the power of fierce fire oil.

It is indestructible in water, and its lethality is amazing.

Especially the fierce fire oil tank, the power can only be described as terrifying.

It was with the fierce fire oil that he repelled the Sun-Liu coalition army many times.

Therefore, when asking Xu Du for weapons, Sima Yi specifically proposed to let them replenish more fierce fire oil.

Hearing him mention the fierce fire oil, Chen Qun sighed again,

"Zhong Da didn't know that this fierce fire oil was not produced by the craftsman's workshop."

"Not produced by the artisan's workshop? Who is that? ”

Sima Yi was even more puzzled.

"Who else could it be? Naturally, he is a great general. ”

Chen Qun shook his head.

Mining fierce fire oil from Liangzhou and then transporting it back to Xudu is a long way away and the cost is amazing.

The craftsman's workshop was already extremely expensive, and the imperial court could no longer increase its use.

In addition, Yang Ling also has a heart to keep his hands behind, so the collection and processing of fierce fire oil are all undertaken by Yang Ling.

Fortunately, the Mi family's commerce has expanded, and several states of the imperial court have their semicolons.

With the power of the Mi family, the cost of collecting, transporting and manufacturing fierce fire oil has been greatly reduced.

This is why when attacking Jingzhou before, Cao Jun could use fierce fire oil at will.

But now that Yang Ling has been robbed of military power, how can he continue to provide Sima Yi with fierce fire oil?

"I see."

Sima Yi frowned and asked,

"Then didn't Your Majesty think about organizing another manpower to mine fierce fire oil?"

"Your Majesty hasn't thought about it, it's just that you don't have the ability."

Chen Qun smiled bitterly.

Let's not talk about how expensive it is to collect fierce fire oil.

If you want to know the collection location, it is located in Liangzhou.

Although Ma Teng has defected to the imperial court, his power in Liangzhou can still be regarded as covering the sky with one hand.

He and Yang Ling are Weng's sons-in-law, Yang Ling was suppressed by Cao Pi, how could he help Cao Pi to exploit oil?

Listening to Chen Qun explain what happened, Sima Yi felt a little tricky.

Unexpectedly, he still underestimated Yang Ling's ability!

"Well, I don't believe it, without fierce fire oil, I can't defeat the Sun-Liu coalition army!"

Sima Yi snorted coldly.

He is still very confident in his own ability.

Since Yang Ling can defeat Sun Quan and Liu Bei, then he can definitely do it.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about business!"

Chen Qun slapped his forehead, glanced at Sima Fu and Sima Kui, and then glanced at Sima Yi.

The two have been friends for a long time, but Sima Yi understood what he meant with just one look.

"Shuda (Sima Fuzi), Jida (Sima Kui), you two go and order your subordinates to hurry up and prepare food and drink to entertain Brother Changyou."

"Whoa!"

After the two left, Sima Yi smiled and said,

"Changyou has something to say."

"Before I come, Your Majesty asked me to bring you a secret decree."

Chen Qun said with a serious face.

"I don't know what the secret is?"

Sima Yi also put away his smile and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty said, I hope that Zhongda you will start to attack before the end of the month, and strive to take Jiangxia County within half a month and completely recover Jingzhou!"

Chen Qun said in a low voice.
