Li Xiuning didn't reply, and handed the teacup in his hand forward, Luo Yu hurriedly got up, took the tea in Li Xiuning's hand, just moved a little, cooled it with tea, and said after finishing his thoughts: "Before I went to the bathroom, Zhang Yang sent Liaodong intelligence, and after reading it, I was a little distracted, and I came to you unconsciously, I should want to discuss it with you, but I really don't remember how to lie on your bed, I'm sorry, I'll go!" With that, he got up and left.

Li Xiuning said: "I said let you go?" After speaking, he got up and sat down at the table, poured him another cup of tea, and lit two candles at the table.

Luo Yu looked in the direction of the door, and saw that it had fallen off, obviously Li Xiuning bolted, and he was somewhat looking forward to it, but Li Xiuning also said that he would not be intimate before he got married, so he suppressed his impulse and said seriously: "You take a look at this information first." ”

Li Xiuning saw that he suddenly became serious, so he stopped joking, took the information and glanced at it, but he didn't see the reason, so he asked: "What is the black oil mentioned in this information?" Is it important? ”

Luo Yu said: "Look at their description, it should be oil, this thing is buried deep in the ground, it takes millions of years to form, and it is rarely found in the territory of Dasui." ”

Li Xiuning was puzzled: "What's the use of this thing?" How do you know? ”

Luo Yu said: "Oil, most of it is as black as Chen Mo, viscous, such as heavy oil, and flammable, accompanied by a large amount of black smoke when burning, the smoke is toxic, the smell is evil, and it can hurt life after a long time." This is what I saw in the book, and I can't remember which one exactly. Of course, it cannot be said that it was known in the Hereafter.

Li Xiuning said: "Are you worried that the people of Goguryeo will use this thing to deal with the Eastern Army?" But what can be done to resolve it? ”

Luo Yu said: "It's not worrying, if the Koreans understand this thing, they will definitely use it on the battlefield, I don't know how many of them there are, if there is less, there is a way to solve it, if there are more, the Eastern Expeditionary Army can only ask for more blessings, and moreover, this thing will explode if it is not done well when it is too much, and it is more violent than gunpowder......"

Li Xiuning hurriedly said: "Then hurry up and write a chapter and send it over, at least inform Your Majesty of your method." "I'm going to get a pen and paper.

Luo Yu grabbed her and said: "It may be too late, this was sent five days ago, maybe the first battle has ended, and when we write the manuscript and send it over, it will take at least four or five days, what should have happened at that time has already happened, what is the point of sending it over." Besides, how do we know about his situation in Liaodong? As soon as you write this, don't you tell him clearly that we have spies watching him? The news of his defeat won't come so quickly, so for now, we can only pretend not to know. ”

Li Xiuning said gloomily: "Suspicion will kill people!" ”

Luo Yu said: "No way, whoever is in that position will be suspicious, and because of suspicion, they will kill people indiscriminately, your Li family is already on his suspicion and defense list, don't look for trouble." We may have to prepare to go south, Jincheng is still in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, it seems that Dou Jiande has reached an agreement with him, if our purpose is to hold Kaifeng, Zhengzhou line, then we must take Jincheng over, these two months Dou Jiande has not yet established a firm foothold in southern Hebei, will not raise troops to go south, could have taken advantage of southern Hebei to pass, but always feel that staying Zhu Yuanzhang in Jincheng will be a scourge, His Majesty defeated and retreated through the day of Kaifeng, that is, when Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops, so we have to plan early. ”

Li Xiuning said distressedly: "It's only been a month or two before I'm going to march again, sometimes I really want to leave all this and go on a tour with you, how good it is!" ”

Luo Yu said: "Wait, this day will not be too long, after receiving His Majesty, I will propose to Tang Gong, and then I will take you to the South China Sea to fish whales, pick spices, catch crabs, and wait for the Central Plains to calm down and then take you to the East China Sea to find Penglai, see peach blossoms, pretend to be pirates, and then hunt jackals in Mobei, ride horses, shoot flying eagles, and finally take you to the snow mountains to pick snow lotus, catch snow leopards, see the divine light, and then come back to take children, this life is like this, okay." Before Luo Yu finished speaking, Li Xiuning had already thrown herself into his arms, bursting into tears, she was looking forward to the life that Luo Yu said.

Luo Yu hugged her lightly, stroked her hair, and her eyes were full of tenderness, this is the only female general in Chinese history who was buried with a military salute, since you are in love with me, how can I disappoint you? Fuck Yang Guang, fuck Li Yuan, fuck Li Shimin, fuck Datang, what's the matter with Guan Laozi? Lao Tzu's only wish is to protect the person in his arms, so that she will be happy and carefree for the rest of her life.

Li Xiuning was tired of crying, raised her head, and gave a hot kiss, Luo Yu hugged her tightly and responded warmly, when Li Xiuning was about to take off Luo Yu's clothes, she was stopped by Luo Yu and said with a bad smile: "I didn't take a bath......"

Li Xiuning cried and laughed: "Go and take a bath, otherwise I want you to look good!" ”

Luo Yu picked up Li Xiuning and came to the bedside, gently put her down, and then helped her cover the quilt, and said: "I won't let you break the principle, don't worry, what I said will definitely come true, this is my promise to you, rest early, and make you something to eat tomorrow morning!" After speaking, he kissed Li Xiuning's red forehead, got up and blew out all the candles, opened the door and walked out.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, Yang Guang had lost his patience, and yesterday's fire lost another 2,000 elites, and he didn't even see the shadow of Yuan Gai Suwen, he had never fought such a battle, he had been so aggrieved, and he couldn't use his strength.

Now Xiangcheng is no longer inhabitable, the whole city has been burned for three hours, and it is scorched black, could it be that Goguryeo built such a city to burn?

The tunnel mouth was not found, it should have been sealed, this battle was lost inexplicably, three thousand people were put in, but nothing was caught, and someone was sent to find the official road, and came back to report that it had been filled in, and it was impossible to see where it was.

There is no point in continuing to stay here, now you have to choose to go to Liaocheng or Yingkou, since the official road has been filled, then the grain and grass of the Goguryeo army in the direction of Liaoyang will not be transported from Pyongyang, there is a high probability that in Baishan City behind Liaoyang City, as long as you find the location of the grain and grass, and then burn it to the ground, see how you fight against me. The direction of Yingkou is close to the sea, and it is Zhang Liang's business to cut off its grain route, and it is the right choice for the Chinese army to go north to Liaoyang.

One hundred and twenty miles, two hours can arrive, Yang Lin sent scouts to rush to the first, looking for a suitable place to camp, the Chinese army plus the forward together 600,000 people, plus the people, almost two million people, to camp in this dense forest, I don't know how much timber to cut, thinking of the black water, Yang Lin's heart trembled, came to Yang Guang's imperial tent, signed up and said: "Your Majesty, our army is going north, nearly two million people, where to camp and set up a village, not to mention, if the Goguryeo people set fire to the forest, our army is also unavoidable, no!" ”

Yang Guangdao: "What my uncle is worried about, I have already arranged, the vanguard army has cut down tens of thousands of trees outside Liaoyang City, and cleared out a large piece of land for camping, and the excess wood can be used as fuel to burn Dabai Mountain in the direction of Liaocheng in addition to building a camp, Laihu'er should have started burning the mountain with a salary of 10,000 quintals at this time, and I want the Goguryeo people to also taste the taste of being burned!" ”

After hearing this, Yang Lin was still not at ease, so he said: "The Goguryeo army has black water, and it is too dangerous to camp intensively, so please ask for orders and lead 100,000 soldiers to guard the camp for ten miles, so as not to know the enemy's way." ”

Yang Guang thought for a while and said, "Since my uncle is worried about this, I am approve, let Yuanyu be the deputy general!" ”

Yang Lin was in pain, but he had to accept the military order, this Yuanyu was Yang Guang's number one retainer, and he was brilliant in martial arts, so that he was a deputy general to monitor himself, and he was still playing tricks at this time, and his generalissimo volunteered to be a general, and he didn't worry, it seems that he really shouldn't come.

As soon as the army arrived, there were more people working, Yang Guang looked at the smoke rising from the Great White Mountain in front of him, and finally let out a bad breath in his heart. Liaodong in May, the trees are lush and green, the primeval forest is very humid, it can't be burned at all, don't say that the salary is 10,000 quintals, it is a million quintals, and it has no effect, except for the smoke, the open fire can not be seen at all during the day, it seems that the plan to burn the Great White Mountain has failed again.

Looking at the city wall in front of him, Yang Guang planned to send troops to test it, the black square was like a big mouth, as if it was going to swallow everything, I don't believe it, use the tactics of the sea of people, see how many arrows and how much black water you use!

Called Yu Wenhua and said: "Send elite scouts to explore the location of the grain and grass in Liaoyang City, and after finding it, you don't need to ask for help, just set it on fire, I will send troops here to attack the city and attract the attention of the enemy army in Liaoyang." ”

Yu Wenhua and the order, said: "Your Majesty, this Liaoyang city is built on the mountain, it is not easy to besiege, the mountain is high and difficult to climb, it can only attack from this small square, and it is better to give full play to the advantage of our army's strength, it is better to change to attack and disturb the war, every four hours send 10,000 people to the square to beat drums and shout, but do not enter the square, so that the enemy army can not fight and rest well, at any time worried about our army attacking the city, and our army retreats ten miles, neither can hear the sound of the snare drum, but also convenient for rotation, what do you think?" ”

After Yang Guang listened, he nodded and said: "This plan is very good, but after retreating ten miles and having to cut down trees and build a camp, so repeatedly, isn't this camp built in vain?" ”

Yu Wenhua said: "No, this can be a suspicious camp, just lurk a small number of soldiers and horses, Yuangai Suwen will definitely send spies to spy, didn't the marshal lead 100,000 people to the periphery?" Let him let go of the spies and come to this camp to check, and then our army will arrange more people to come over, so he will be in a state of being in a state of impatience without fighting for a long time, drinking and fighting, and luring Yuan Gai Suwen to attack the camp, as long as they go out of the city, they will not be captured? ”

After Yang Guang heard this, he called it a clever plan, and asked Yu to culture and act according to the plan. Looking at the sun, it was past noon, it was a little late today, and the camp ten miles away could not be built.

A cloud-piercing arrow sparkled into the sky, the gate of Liaoyang City finally opened, the hooves of thousands of war horses sounded like thunder, Jin Chengfei was a light, waving the horse lance and rushing over.

The 10,000 horses in front of the square were about to change their guards, and before the rear team could change to the front team, Jin Chengfei had already come to the front of the formation, and the Sui soldiers had to temporarily give up changing their defenses and raise their Daomo knives to meet them.

The yellow-clothed Goguryeo cavalry had already charged and accelerated, and the commander of the Sui army was in a hurry to respond to the battle, and as soon as he saw the horse lance in front of him, the silver light flashed, and the blood in front of him was red, and then he was surrounded by endless darkness......

For a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, the blood mist was filled, the two 10,000 people could not resist the thousands of Goguryeo cavalry, they were rushed to the ground, the commander of the thousand was dead, the commander of the rear team wanted to take over the command, but before he could speak, it was already too late, and a blue-clothed cavalry rushed out of Liaoyang City, the number was not very many, but the speed was unusually fast, and rushed straight through the passage blocked by the yellow-clothed cavalry, and rushed towards the Sui army that changed guards.

When Yang Lin heard the shouting of killing, he hurriedly asked the scout what was going on, and the scout said: "Marshal, just got the news, the enemy army in Liaoyang City suddenly rushed out, and our army was caught off guard, and now I don't know what the situation is!" ”

Yang Lin said: "Probe again, report immediately if there is a situation!" ”

The scout saluted and retreated, Yang Lin suddenly felt a little bad, the whole army retreated ten miles and rotated ten thousand people He only knew afterwards, it was impossible to change, now the only thing to worry about is that the enemy is flanking the front and back, Liaoyang attacked here, attracting the attention of the Sui army, and then Xiangcheng came through the tunnel to set fire, if it was in the original camp, it could be rescued in time, but now it has retreated ten miles, and it is too late to build a camp temporarily, only tents, that thing will catch fire when it sees the fire, is it really going to repeat the old thing of burning the company camp?

Yuangai Suwen covered his faces when he came out of the tunnels of Xiangcheng, not for fear of being recognized, but to prevent inhaling too much poisonous smoke, he licked the corners of his mouth, like a vicious wolf that smelled blood, and fired arrows into the air, indicating that Jin Chengfei Nafei had launched an attack, and when the scouts over there came to report the news, when the soldiers and horses here were ready to rescue, it was when he set fire.

He pinched the fist-sized porcelain jar in his hand, which was filled with black oil mixed with white phosphorus, and if it was broken, it would explode with a loud noise, and then sparks would splash and burn everywhere, even the stones.

This black oil was found when digging the official road, I thought it was sewage, I didn't care, I blocked the big hole, maybe it was providence, I found this thing when digging the tunnel, I had to hold a torch to work underground, this black oil arrived, and a raging fire was ignited instantly, and accompanied by thick black smoke, a team of more than 30 people were burned alive, even the bones were burned, but the fire was not extinguished, until the stones in that section were burned down before being crushed. Seeing that the situation was not good, the sergeants who received the earthwork behind all withdrew back, the tunnel entrance was shrouded in black smoke, and the people who came out vomited nonstop, and a few serious ones even screamed for their lives within half an hour.

This is a weapon given by God to kill the enemy, and it must be used well, so they sent someone to tinker with it, and this is the scene of burning the Sui army in front of the battle. Now he has found something new, and he will use it to test his power to see if the Sui army can withstand this hellfire.

The two war horses came in the mud, they should be scouts from Liaoyang who came to ask for help, and after a while, they saw that the Sui army was gathering and slowly approached together.

It was the beginning of the day, the barracks was brightly lit, and the centurion was gathering his troops, and before he could finish it, countless black things were thrown down from the high mountain on the left, some of which fell directly to the sergeant, some of which smashed into the trees on the side, and some of which fell to the ground and the top of the tent, tumbling and falling to the ground, and everyone felt that the whole camp was burning violently as soon as they saw a flower.

The sergeants instinctively slapped at the place where their bodies were on fire, but found that their hands were also burning, not only did they not extinguish it, but they also burned more and more, and they were so anxious that they hurriedly rolled on the ground, trying to use their bodies to suppress the blue ghostly fire.

The porcelain vase continued to fall from all directions, until a wine jar also fell to the ground and was smashed, a large flame rose into the air, and the fire line scattered and flew in all directions, igniting Yang Guang's handsome tent, and it did not fall again. The war horse was already uncontrollable when the fire started, scattered and fled, and then was hit by the porcelain jar, which inevitably turned into a fire horse, bumping around like a headless fly, lighting more tents and causing a bigger fire.

Yuangai Suwen looked at the trebuchet behind him, and then at the Sui army camp shrouded in fireworks, and showed a satisfied smile. It was only with such a little black oil that he destroyed the Chinese army tent of the Sui army, burned the company camp, and repeated Liu Bei's old story, so that you Sui Guo will be afraid as long as you hear me Yuan Gai Suwen in the future.

He looked back and saw that thousands of torches rushed over with the sound of earth-shattering horses' hooves, but they only rushed to a hundred steps away from him and stopped, it turned out that the Goguryeo army had already set up horse rejection and dug traps around it, waiting for the reinforcements of the Sui army.

The oil canister fell again, and the support army also fell into a sea of fire, and the flames of war could not bear the pain, and they scattered and fled, and there was smoke from fire horses everywhere, and there were endless screams, and no one could prevent the defeat of the Sui army in this situation.

Yuangai Suwen stood on the top of the mountain, condescendingly looking at the Sui army camp that had not many lives, there was already the world of death, tens of thousands of fire horses regardless of the poor mountains and bad waters, jumping east and west, some were stuck between the two trees, some were pierced by thorns, some trampled on each other, and some were running against the fire man...... Now the whole mountain was set on fire, and the fire lit up half of the sky.

Yang Lin first sent 20,000 infantry to rescue the two 10,000-strong teams at the gate of Liaoyang City, and then said to Yuan Yu: "You and Dong Zhi first find all the offerings, and then immediately go to Your Majesty, I always feel that something big is going to happen!" Seeing that Yuanyu didn't move, he roared again: "Go quickly, there is me here!" ”

Yuan Yu hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the military tent after giving his hand, and quickly got on his horse with Dong Zhi and hurried towards the new camp ten miles away. Yang Lin ordered another lieutenant general, Yang Tong, to lead 8,000 cavalry to the new camp to quickly rescue, and at this time, Yuangai Suwen's black oil tank had just been thrown into the air.

Outside Liaoyang City, Jin Chengfei led 5,000 cavalry to kill for a while, and saw that the Sui army came to two more army formations, and chose to retreat without hesitation, turned the horse's head and ran to Liaoyang City.

In fact, there are eight bull crossbows, but just now the two armies were in a scuffle, and they didn't dare to launch at all, and now they finally have the opportunity to show their might, the operator clasped the crossbow arrows with the thickness of his arm, adjusted the angle and hammered down the machine, dozens of crossbow arrows flew quickly to the Goguryeo cavalry who were retreating rapidly, only to hear the sound of "dong dong dong" non-stop, followed by dozens of screams and neighing of war horses, it turned out that the crossbow arrows penetrated the armor, passed through the human body, and then took the first person to fly through the second, third, and some even penetrated four, Fell off the horse like a sugar gourd.

Before waiting for a second look, the second batch of crossbow arrows had flown over again, this time the angle was lowered a little, specifically for shooting horses, for a while the blood mist was towering, the wailing of the war horse when it was dying resounded in the sky, and the knight on the horse was no better, fell to the ground, and then was trampled into flesh by the war horse behind.

As soon as the Sui infantry rushed into the square, they were shot back by the rain of arrows on both sides, leaving a corpse, Jin Chengfei was happy when the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air hit, he knew that this was fired by the eight bull crossbows, sure enough, the rear team immediately heard the screams of the sergeants, before they could run two steps forward, another round of crossbow arrows had arrived, and then even the screams could not be heard clearly, and so on three rounds, the fourth round came one after another, and not many of the five thousand cavalry could return to Liaoyang City, I didn't expect that the square of one hundred and ten steps became the hunting ground of the Sui army, which is very fair, They also used the square to kill so many Sui troops.

The suspension bridge did not rise, Jin Chengfei saw that he was about to cross the suspension bridge, and suddenly felt that his body was falling down quickly, and when he entered the eye, he was wearing a crossbow arrow outside the neck of the war horse, which penetrated from top to bottom, so where did this crossbow arrow come from? Without waiting for a second thought, he had already rowed forward with the war horse rubbing against the ground, and then he realized that the crossbow arrow was sitting on his back and passing through his right chest, connecting with the war horse.

The fate of falling at the gate of the city can be imagined, the Goguryeo cavalry who were busy fleeing for their lives, saw in front of them and tightly lifted the reins to let the horse jump over, and the back could not be controlled, so Jin Chengfei watched the horse's hooves step down on his face, and then it became a meat sludge, although he had been shot through the lungs, the injury was too serious, and he knew that he would die, but before he died, this scene made him afraid of Sui State.

Five thousand cavalry originally perfectly charged to kill the infantry of the Sui army, but did not expect to lose a lot on the return journey, two captains, two lieutenants and the main general Jin Chengfei, lost nearly 3,500 cavalry, and after the last cavalry rushed into the city gate, the drawbridge was pulled up, and there was no sound in Liaoyang City.

Yang Lin looked at the crossbow arrow that he had adjusted the angle to accurately nail the leader into the ground, and knew that the man would not survive, so he didn't care anymore, but just ordered to continue firing, and after all the enemy troops entered the city, Ming Jin collected his troops, and the rear team changed to the front team, and hurriedly marched to the new camp ten miles away, and he had already seen the fire over there reflecting half the sky.

There was no time to dismantle the eight-ox crossbow, so he ordered a fire to burn it, and this thing must not fall into the hands of Goguryeo, otherwise there would be endless trouble. Hurriedly came to the new camp, the eyes were full of flying ash, how could there be the shadow of the barracks, the smell of barbecue burnt meat mixed with the unique scorching smell of tent linen drifted away with the wind, the mountain fire behind had burned a few miles away, and all that was left in front of me was the bare stone mountain and the last and burned out power piles, floating with green smoke.

What about Your Majesty? Looking at the lifeless death in front of him, Yang Lin was most worried about whether Yang Guang was here or not, and now he couldn't see where the Chinese army's big tent was, I hope Yang Guang was not here at that time, otherwise, how could there be a life?

Luo Yu got up early, put on a scarf, put on a high hat, rolled up his sleeves, and reconciled Ming Fan after adding flour, Ming Fan is the yeast at this time, and then covered the dough with a linen cloth, fermented for a while, and took advantage of this time to grind the soybeans that had been soaked last night into soybean milk with a stone mill, put them in a large pot, light the fire to cook the soy milk, adjust a small bowl of salt water, and wait for the fried fritters to be used, and then pour the soybean oil into another pot, and wait for the soybean milk to be boiled and then ignite the oil.

Boiling soy milk is not just watching, you have to stir it with a long spoon from time to time, otherwise it will stick to the pan, and the soybean milk will have a burnt smell and not taste good; You can't cook it for too long, and after three rolls, you have to stop the fire, then put it out in a porcelain bowl and put it in a steamer to heat.

The dough is ready, the oil pot is also hot, Luo Yu started to knead the dough, after kneading the long strips, use a knife to cut the dough into small pieces of the same size, and then stretch it, stick some salt water with chopsticks, press it in the middle of the two elongated dough pieces, make sure to stick the salt water and put the two pieces together, and stretch it again before getting out of the oil pot.

In his time and space, he often fried fritters to eat, and now there is no difficulty in making them, Shanxi rice is rare now, otherwise he can make delicious fried food, and this fried dough and soy milk should be used to improve their food. Wait until you find rice in the future to make other ones.

When Li Xiuning smelled the fragrance and brought the two maids to the kitchen, he saw Niu Jinda, Li Xiaogong, Xu Shiji, Yue Yun, Pei Yuanqing and the three newly left special combat team members eating a long strip of golden fried food in their hands, holding a steaming teacup in the other hand, taking a sip from time to time, and then exclaiming with satisfaction: "It's so delicious!" ”

Seeing Li Xiuning, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came, he didn't care about the things in his hand, and made a crooked salute, while Niu Jinda and Li Xiaogong only nodded, so they didn't care anymore, and continued to take a freshly fried fritter in the oil leak, and they were not afraid of being hot, so they ate it in a big gulp.

Li Xiuning looked at Luo Yu's dress, and laughed directly, and finally stopped laughing, and asked curiously: "What is this?" It smells so good! ”

Luo Yu put another one down, and then said: "This thing is called fritters, eat less, it's easy to get angry, you drink a cup of soy milk first." After speaking, he scooped a large bowl of soy milk from the steamer and gave it to her, pointed to the two small bowls next to him and said: "Here is salt and sugar, you can put whatever flavor you want, I usually eat sweet." Then he said to the two maids: "You guys do it yourself, I'm going to fry fritters!" ”

The two maids said happily: "Can we drink it too?" Luo Yu said strangely: "Why can't you drink it?" But people with cold stomachs can't drink soy milk on an empty stomach, you guys are fine, right? ”

The two maids shook their heads in unison, Luo Yu didn't care about them, turned around, the fritters in the pot were long gone, and Yue Yun was opening his mouth to stuff them.

Luo Yu scolded with a smile: "Glutton, don't eat too much, don't blame me for getting angry!" ”

Yue Yun said vaguely: "I'm not afraid, such a delicious thing, buy gunpowder when it's on fire!" ”

Everyone laughed after hearing this, Luo Yu said: "Okay, it was originally prepared for Xiuning, but most of it was wiped out by you, and we still have four people who haven't eaten, you can go, wait for me to teach the cook, let him fry it for you tomorrow, and you will have to eat every day in the future." ”

Niu Jinda said with a smile: "Let's go, we robbed Luo Yu of the food specially made for Xiuning, and we will have to ...... in the future."

After everyone heard this, they didn't wait for the red-faced Li Xiuning to speak, they put away the teacups, laughed and dispersed, and went their own way.

The two maids were also smart, each took a bowl of soy milk and bowed and retreated, and only Luo Yu and Li Xiuning were left in the entire kitchen.
