After Cheng Guogong knew that his suggestion was not adopted, he became ill that day, and Zuo Chengyi went to visit him, but he was also blocked from the door.

Zuo Chengyi knelt outside the tent for a long time, and when the spies came back and forth to say that he had caught a foreigner, he got up and went back to his tent.

The foreigner was none other than the operator of the artillery.

According to this person's explanation, he was about to sneak into the city to look for someone, but he didn't expect to break into Zuo Chengyi's military camp by mistake and be arrested as an enemy spy.

When I asked him who he was looking for, he was silent.

Zuo Chengyi guessed that he must be looking for Li Bu of the Waiyi royal family.

It just so happened that he also had to settle accounts with Li Bu.

"You said you broke in by mistake, but I see you sneaky and more like a spy." The spies who arrested people didn't believe Li Bu's nonsense at all.

Zuo Chengyi believed his own people's statement more, so he instructed left and right: "Since he broke in by himself, then take care of the people first, and don't let them go." ”

The operator was finally in a hurry.

"The general spares his life, this is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Even if it is a misunderstanding, it will be locked up for a few days. ”

The military camp is heavy, how can outsiders be allowed to break in at will, maybe he has some conspiracy.

The Waiyi people were even more anxious, not only screaming again and again, but even talking about the conditions.

"To tell you the truth, I'm here to find my prince Li Bu, and there really is no other conspiracy. If the general thinks that it is a great crime for me to mistakenly break into the barracks, then I am willing to make meritorious contributions to the crime, and I only ask you to release me as soon as possible. Our prince has not been back for several years, and our king and queen have been sick with their thoughts, and they miss him so much. ”

"Guilty of meritorious service?" Zuo Chengyi only had these words echoing in his mind.

I got the news before that the Waiyi people would do it on the artillery.

Although nothing went wrong during the artillery test firing, and he also released the hostages as agreed, he always felt uneasy.

Now that the outsiders have fallen into his hands, since they can make people guilty and make meritorious contributions, isn't it just the right opportunity to let him operate the artillery and go directly into the palace?

"Of course you can make meritorious contributions. ……”

As soon as Zuo Chengyi said the conditions, the foreigner seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and immediately nodded in response.

"Yes, yes, I do."

This person agreed so happily that Zuo Chengyi couldn't help but have doubts.

But several generals laughed on the spot.

"This foreigner is stupid when he looks at it, and he is even more stupid when he does things, he wants to sneak into the city to find someone, but he came to us by mistake, and he was caught, not to mention, and he will continue to teach us how to use artillery. It just so happens that we haven't learned it yet, so we'll have to let him teach it a few more times. ”

The Waiyi people also smirked, looking stupid and cute, and responded again and again: "Yes, yes, I'll teach you." ”

Zuo Chengyi frowned slightly.

He learned everything quickly, and when he watched the test-fired artillery, he memorized it only once.

But the others under his hand couldn't even remember it after watching it twice.

The number of shells was limited, and he couldn't waste them to continue the drill, so he planned to conduct a practical training when the city was officially attacked.

But when the siege is really over, as the main general, he has to focus more on controlling the overall situation, rather than standing in front of the artillery every day.

It's just for this outsider to operate.

"It's decided, we'll attack the city early tomorrow morning."

Although the decision was made, Zuo Chengyi still didn't dare to be careless.

He ordered his men.

"A few of you, you will follow closely by the side of the Waiyi people tomorrow, you are not allowed to blink your eyes, in addition to learning to operate the artillery as soon as possible, you must also watch him and don't let him do anything."

"Yes, Major General." A few generals took orders, but they didn't seem to be the slightest nervous, "Don't worry, young general, this person is stupid, under the noses of our brothers, he will definitely not dare to mess around." ”

Zuo Chengyi raised his eyebrows.

"Do not be deceived by appearances. You all say that the Waiyi people are simple and stupid, but this cannon was made by them. Isn't it? ”

"This ......" a few people finally put away their smugness, and hurriedly bowed and hugged their fists and said: "The subordinates are careless, General Xie reminded me." ”

Zuo Chengyi made people retreat.

Not only was his subordinates almost deceived, but even he himself was deceived by that Li Bu? and his younger brother Shen Mo, who was also deceived by that 'simple' Li Bu, and almost fell into the hands of the tyrant.

He couldn't help but think of the story that Su Ying told him, tea and opium, and the history of national humiliation.

"It turns out that Miss Su, what she said is true."

He will never forget Su Ying's words.

"The Waiyi don't seem to be as shrewd as we are, but they almost never suffer a loss diplomatically, whether it's bilateral trade or war, they always win on the side that wins. Therefore, no matter when, when facing them, we must not have the slightest slack and carelessness. ”

Today, the foreigners fell into his hands, it seems to be a coincidence, or the providence that his subordinates said, Zuo Chengyi does not dare to believe it.

In his opinion, this man was more like he had come prepared.

Fortunately, he already had a sense of vigilance, and he also told his subordinates to keep them away from this person, especially when operating artillery, and not to give him a chance to do anything.

As for this person's other purposes or plots, they can only be investigated after the capture of the city.

In the early hours of the next morning, as soon as dawn broke, an earth-shattering loud bang was heard at the city gate.

Then the houses in the city hundreds of kilometers away collapsed, and thick smoke rose everywhere.

The royal defenders of the city had never seen such a battle, and they were still armed with spears and ready for hand-to-hand combat.

Zuo Chengyi saw that his army was driving straight in, and the enemy would collapse without a fight, and then looked at the foreigners, who were carefully teaching a few people to operate the artillery, and his doubts relaxed a little.

If you attack at such a speed, you will be able to attack the gate of the palace the day after tomorrow.

As expected by Shen Mo, Zuo Chengyi went to attack the city in front, and someone in the back couldn't hold back and wanted to cut off his tail, trying to take advantage of the fisherman.

There were even people who came to talk to Shen Mo about cooperation and deal with Zuo Chengyi together.

Shen Mo sneered twice, and immediately ordered his subordinates to take down that force and absorb it.

"I want to provoke the relationship between my two brothers, if I don't take you, God will not tolerate it!"

Two days later, Zuo Chengyi attacked the gate of the palace. And Shen Mo absorbed several straggler forces that did not belong to the two of them.

In the world of the Great Zhou, no one dares to look at the brothers.

According to the brothers' previous plan, tonight, Zuo Chengyi will use artillery to capture the palace.

Song Zhi couldn't hold back any longer, and with many generals with the same opinion as himself, he directly broke into the silent camp.

"Young General, if we don't do it again, Zuo Chengyi will definitely take the palace tonight, find the jade seal, and command the world!"

"Yes, young general, we have been fighting for so long, so many people have died, we have spent countless amounts of money, and we are waiting for it, isn't it today? Don't hesitate any longer! ”

"Whether you should fight or not, it is a woman's kindness, young general!"

“……”

Shen Mo and Zuo Chengyi have a private appointment, but because of their identities, it is impossible to tell anyone.

"Wait!" He directly persuaded the generals to go out.

Song Zhi's heart was cold, and when he got out of the silent Chinese army tent, he brought several other generals to his camp tent to plot discussions.
