Chapter 568 Sure enough, King Wei is as suspicious as ever!
Whatever you want!
Here, Liu Bei only thought that it was Huang Yueying on the outskirts of the city today, verifying the "utensils" that could blow up the general's mansion.
Over there, the disciples of the Fazheng Mansion had already come to report: "General Yuzuo... Zhuge Junshi, General Zilong, and General Yide came to the mansion, saying that there was an urgent matter to ask to see the lord..."
Not...
Liu Bei sighed: "I think it's Mrs. Huang's latest utensils that have come out today!" I specially sent Zilong to go, and I also wanted to wear it! β
Speaking of this, he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, let Kong Ming and Zilong come in..."
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Fa Zheng also sat up straight, as if... He was also extremely curious about the "drawings of the cloud flag", "Mrs. Huang's attempt", and the "ordnance that can blow up the gate of Yangping" in the mouth of this good friend.
After a while, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun entered the door quite excitedly, and when they saw Liu Bei, they both saluted.
"My lord..."
Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask, "How?" β
"Jing Mur is fortunate not to be dishonored..."Zhuge Liang said truthfully: "Liang saw with his own eyes and observed the 'gunpowder whip arrow' made by her according to the manufacturing drawings of the cloud flag, and its power is as powerful as this... You can blow a mountain flat in a single day! β
This...
Zhuge Liang's words sounded a bit exaggerated to Liu Bei and Fa Zheng.
You know, there is no such thing as an "explosion" in this era...
Not to mention blowing up the mountain, this kind of power... It has surpassed the power of any existing weapon, and has exceeded the understanding of ordinary people.
It's not even an exaggeration to say that it was Zhuge Liang who said it, otherwise... Liu Bei and Fa Zheng must not believe it!
"That's true..."Zhao Yun's words further deepened the authenticity of these words. Launched from one mountain, and then exploded from another, the range is almost comparable to that of an eight-bull crossbow, but the power can be described as a heaven-shattering stone, if there is really an arrow that explodes in the enemy's formation, it is... Thousands of enemies will die in an instant! β
With Zhao Yun's explanation.
Zhang Fei is also not to be outdone...
"Big brother, this thing is so easy to use, it's ten times better than my Zhangba snake spear, I only feel a itch in my hands when I look at it, if more than ten salvos come out and explode at the same time, even if it's General Zuo's mansion... It's going to be leveled in an instant! It's not an exaggeration at all, more than ten rounds, it's enough for us to return to the West together! β
ββ¦β¦β
Left General's Mansion! Moment! Level to the ground?
These people! Together! Dead!
Zhang Fei's words, especially the metaphor in the words, are weird...
But the power of black powder is true, not to mention... Because of the manufacturing drawings of the semi-finished products provided by Guan Lin, because of Huang Yueying's wit and intelligence...
Nowadays, for the refining of "black powder", it has actually skipped the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties... It reached the Cheng fruit of black powder refining during the Ming Dynasty.
If there is a formula to put it in this way, it is:
ββ2KNO3+S+3C====K2S+N2β+ 3CO2β
In layman's terms, it is the oxygen liberated by potassium nitrate, which causes charcoal and sulfur to burn violently, and instantly produces a large amount of heat and nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases.
Due to the rapid expansion of the volume, the pressure increased violently, and an explosion occurred.
When about every four grams of black powder is ignited and burned, it can produce 280 liters of gas, and the volume can expand nearly 10,000 times, which shows the power!
Of course, Huang Yueying didn't know about this so-called "chemical engineering formula", she used a stupid method, that is, repeated attempts again and again, from less to more, from weak to strong, and used the results to draw the accurate ratio and final conclusion of the final "black powder".
The so-called paper is shallow, and I never know that I have to do it...
Huang Yueying is a woman, but she is also called... It's an example of how practice makes sense!
On the other hand, Liu Bei and Fa Zheng are a little discolored.
Left General's Mansion! Moment! Level to the ground...
This metaphor is inappropriate, but the power it presents is somewhat jaw-dropping.
Zhang Fei's words continued, "I've seen the gunpowder whip and arrow this time, I know what power is, with this thing, ordinary shields are not protected at all, we have this, it's like a tiger with wings!" β
"Seriously... Is there really such a stake? Liu Bei was still a little stunned...
The main thing is that this thing is outrageous.
You know, he was on Cao Cao's side, and he knew how much Cao Cao allocated military money to military factories every year, just to make new weapons of mass destruction.
In fact... Such as the thunderbolt, such as the well railing he improved, were all generous in that battle...
And the invention of these devices, I don't know how many people's wisdom has been condensed, I don't know how many people's efforts have been spent, and how many people's lives have been spent...
But Guan Lin? How old is he?
But the manufacturing drawings in his hands are endless, from repeating crossbows, to partial vans, to wooden oxen and flowing horses, to eight-ox crossbows, to flying balls, and then to today's flame whips and arrows... How could he make so many manufacturing drawings?
In fact, this question has always bothered Liu Bei, and he has a strong desire in his heart to ask the second brother's Qilin'er at a suitable time.
Of course, Liu Bei didn't believe in any strange powers, but because of Guan Lin, he was more willing to believe that this was God's favor to the Han Dynasty, and he specially sent down such a "magical" son to help him... Help him and his second brother turn the tide together!
Thank you...
In addition to being grateful to God, what else can Liu Bei do?
"Quick, send this good news to Yun Chang, and tell Yun Qi... Also, all of them... Assist Madame Huang to configure as many 'gunpowder whip arrows' as possible, which will definitely play a vital role in the upcoming Hanzhong War! β
With Liu Bei's last words, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei hurriedly surrendered their hands.
"No..."
Everyone has their own things, but undoubtedly... The success of this black powder and the success of this gunpowder whip and arrow are like a booster for everyone, and everyone's spirits are lifted.

Outside Luoyang City, in the mountains in the north, Jiang Wei was still pressed on the wooden stake outside the tent, and many soldiers were surrounded by it.
And with a rough voice chanting:
- "What if it's me? Can you open up the Internet for my sake?'
All eyes were on the sound.
He is a general of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he is also a general that the King of Wei Cao Cao is extremely valued and trusted-Wen Ji!
Speaking of Wenji, many people are not familiar with it, and it is only mentioned in the "Book of Wei" quoted in "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Biqiu Jian" that he was the father of Wenqin, who served as Cao Cao's cavalry general in Jian'an, and behaved bravely and powerfully!
ββ"Qin Shao is known for his famous generals and martial arts!"
Even if according to the development of history, in the Wei Wei case, Wei Wei and Wen Qin were both imprisoned, and both should be executed.
Wei Wei, who intended to rebel, had no room for reversal, but Cao Cao unbelievably pardoned Wen Qin, the reason is that Wen Qin is the son of Wen Ji!
It can be seen from this that Wen Qin's father Wen Ji's status in Cao Wei is in Cao Cao's mind.
Of course, many people are more familiar with Wen Ji's grandson, that is, the famous general in the late Wei and early Jin dynasties, who single-handedly broke through the 200,000 Hulu of Xianbei and shocked the world - Wen Yang!
Of course, none of this matters.
The important thing is that Wen Ji interceded for Jiang Wei, and the weight of this plea was very heavy.
To know... The ancestral home of the Wen family is Qian Pei, but Cao Cao's hometown, and the relationship between the Wen family, the Cao family, and the Xiahou family is even more intertwined!
Sure enough, when he noticed that it was Wen Ji, Jiang Yan hurriedly got up in a panic.
"How... Is it General Wen? β
He and Wen Ji know each other, and it is Wen Ji who is responsible for recruiting flying ball soldiers, in other words... If there was no Wenji, Jiang Yi and Jiang Wei would still be stationed at the border in Tianshui to defend against Hu Lu... I'm afraid that I will never have the opportunity to touch the core layer in my life.
Wen Ji is a gift to the Jiang family.
"Kill, kill, kill? What's the use of killing Jiang Wei? Wen Ji was not polite at all, "Under the fire of Guan Lin, how many hundred thousand people died in Great Wei?" The enemy kills our son, but your father also kills his son... Then how are you different from the enemy? What's more, today's Da Wei is honest and honest, and the slightest mistake will be beheaded? Then who would dare to be a soldier? How else does General Ben recruit soldiers? β
This...
Undoubtedly, Wen Ji's words are very weighty, and Jiang Yi lowered his head, where did he dare to disobey half a point.
But Jiang Yan's heart was secretly happy.
- "General Wenji is here, and my son will be saved!"
Wen Ji's words continued, "The young man is more vigorous, and he is more compassionate? Why is it a heinous crime? Is the sin unforgivable? It's not like you, I've never been young, young people always have to grow up... In this way, forget this matter today, your son, I will vouch for him, you will spare him once, let him make meritorious contributions! β
Wen Ji said...
Suddenly, Jiang Hong, Liu... Even many members of the Jiang clan knelt down to comply, "Ask the general to spare him, right?" β
Jiang Yan exhaled a long breath in his heart, and said secretly in his heart.
- "It's Cheng Zhongde here, with General Wenji as a guarantor, I can finally breathe!"
The heart was turbulent, with mixed tastes, but Jiang Yan's expression was as cold as ever, "This rebel almost harmed my Jiang family and all the soldiers of our Flying Ball Legion, I... I'm ashamed of all the soldiers! β
Speaking of this, Jiang Yan paused for a moment, and then said: "If it weren't for General Wen Ji's intercession, I would have beheaded this rebel today to set an example... Whatever... Whatever... But this rebel's behavior has affected the three armies, and the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, so he will be severely beaten with 200 lashes first! β
This...
With Jiang Yu's order, Liu was shocked: "Husband... Where can the husband withstand two hundred whips? The husband still has to wear the guilt and make meritorious service, please father..."
Jiang Yi shouted angrily: "The Flying Ball Legion is newly built, and we will be greatly favored by the king, if we don't punish this rebel heavily, where is my military law!" If you plead again, you won't fight, slash! β
Liu was so frightened that he was silent...
Jiang Wei, who was outside the account, was brought up, and he was especially stubborn, "I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong..."
His wife Liu frowned hatefully, and she walked out quickly, "You are still talking nonsense... Don't talk about it..."
At this time, Jiang Wei had already taken off his shirt and tied under the gate, the executioner came over with a thick whip, and as soon as the whip was thrown out, a red blood mark was printed on Jiang Wei's back, Jiang Wei was shocked, and he gritted his teeth in pain before he made a sound.
The leather whip was like a flying snake, biting the bloody flower, and Liu stood aside, helpless, and turned his face sadly.
Jiang Yan sat in the tent, listening to the crackling and fierce whipping sound outside the tent, his mood was like a knife...
He clenched his fists tightly and his arms trembled, but he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, standing still, trying his best to maintain the image of a ruthless father and a ruthless general.
Not long after, a soldier came to report: "Fifty lashes, Jiang Gongzi fainted..."
Jiang Yu glanced at Wen Ji, and then glanced at Cheng Yu who was especially outside the door, he was ruthless, and immediately walked out in person, he took the rattan whip, and then asked a bucket of water to water Jiang Wei's body.
"Ahh
Jiang Yan wiped his tears and sweat countless times in his heart, and he said fiercely, "Lao Tzu beat you to death... Lao Tzu beat you to death, you rebel! β
"Crackle..."
Two more whip marks were exposed on Jiang Wei's back, and the blood was red.
"Are you wrong? Can you know what is wrong, you rebel? Jiang Yu roared angrily...
"No... No..."In the end, under the extreme pain, Jiang Wei still did not beg for mercy, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but he pulled out a weak smile, "The child is wrong, the fault is that he is looking at the wrong father... Come on, come onβ"
Jiang Wei's whip was thrown on Jiang Wei's chest, and the onlookers were in tears.
Cheng Yu closed his eyes and turned around, as if he had decided something, and walked towards the camp gate, for some reason, his heart was like steel, he, looking at this scene, actually had two tears hanging under his eyes.
- "Sure enough... When people are old, they are easy to be compassionate! I've learned from this young Jiang Wei!"
On the other hand, Wen Ji, Jiang Hong, Liu Shi and others...
In that tearing whip sound, in Jiang Wei's muffled snort, they couldn't bear to listen to it!
β¦
β¦
In the main hall of the palace of King Wei, a set of chimes is playing a magnificent movement.
Cheng Yu had just reported everything he had seen to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao personally held a small hammer in his hand, striking it leisurely, and he played and chanted to himself: "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart, but for the sake of the king, I have been chanting so far..."
If Guo Jia is there, he will often pat his hands with a fan to the rhythm.
But Cheng Yu... He always seems to be the one who does not understand the amorous feelings.
Finally...
At the end of the movement, the bells of the entire Luoyang City rang continuously, as if it had reached dusk, and it was time to close the city.
Cao Cao also put down the small hammer, walked to the door and looked up at the sky, even if it was dusk, but today's dusk seemed to have a thin layer of haze...
Finally, he spoke towards Cheng Yu, "Zhongde? Do you think... Is Jiang Yi selfish? Is it loyalty or treachery? β
Cheng Yu groaned slightly, and then narrated what he was thinking in his heart: "If you don't have the heart to lick the calf, it must be impossible, but if he lets Jiang Wei go?" If you judge him to be a traitor or a disloyal, then it is not true..."
Speaking of this, Cheng Yu was shocked that what he said was the same as not saying it, so he hurriedly surrendered his hand, "King Mingjian, can good and evil never escape the king's discernment!" β
"Hahahaha..."Cao Cao smiled, "Zhongde, when will you also learn from them to compliment Gu?" β
"The minister has always admired the king!"
"That's it..."Cao Cao waved his hand quite heroically, and then looked up at the sky, "Lone has always suspected people, and he is not suspicious of employing people, testing this Jiang Yu's loyalty, good and evil, Lone has a way..."
"What?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.
"Gu wants to leave his son in Luoyang, and then send him Jiang Yi to escort Zuo Ci to Jiangxia in Jingzhou, if he can help Zuo Ci bring back the method of refining white phosphorus, then he is loyal, otherwise... Father and son are useless people! There is no point in talking about his loyalty, good and evil! β
Speaking of this, Cao Cao's tiger eyes froze.
seemed to be quite satisfied with his calculations.
This...
It was Cheng Yu, he pursed his mouth and thought for a moment, and then, his eyes full of admiration were even greater...
He arched his hand to Cao Cao: "King, this plan is very good!" β
β¦
β¦
On the official road leading from Luoyang City to Jingzhou, the hat covered Zuo Ci's skeletal face.
A carriage had already been prepared, and behind him was a man over fifty years old, who looked old, but he was full of energy... A snow-white goat's beard is quite eye-catching in the crowd.
His name is Ge Xuan... It is the ancestor of the Taoist Lingbao School in later generations, and is called "Ge Xiangong" by Taoist disciples!
He was Zuo Ci's disciple, and when he was a teenager, he practiced Taoism with Zuo Ci, such as "Taiqing Dan Sutra", "Jiuding Dan Sutra", "Golden Liquid Dan Sutra", which Zuo Ci did not pass on to the alchemy scriptures, Zuo Ci passed them all to Ge Xuan without reservation.
Ge Xuan is also now... The nominal helmsman of the Taoist Danding faction in the world.
At this moment, he followed behind Zuo Ci, like a deferential servant, carefully supporting Zuo Ci, respectfully.
"Can our disciples be sent to Jiangxia Anlucheng?"
Zuo Ci asked Ge Xuan as he walked forward slowly.
Ge Xuan replied respectfully: "The disciples have all been sent to Jiangxia, not only Anlu City, but the entire Jiangxia... Thousands of our disciples have gathered, and they will all cooperate with the master's actions at any time..."
Hearing Ge Xuan's answer, Zuo Ci bowed his head, but solemnly instructed: "This trip is very important, and it is related to whether our Taoist sect can become the national religion of the Great Wei Dynasty and whether it can spread morality in the world!" In terms of influence, it surpasses Zhengyi... The method of alchemy of my Taoist sect is the key to solving the mystery for King Wei, so this trip... We must be very cautious, only allow success, not defeat! β
"Master rest assured..."Ge Xuan arched his hand, "I heard that the master is going to come from the side of the Sifang Mountain in Anlu City... Imitation of the art of refining white phosphorus, this is what our Danding faction is best at, I expect this trip to be foolproof! β
As he spoke, Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan had already walked to the carriage...
Ma Fu is also a Taoist in disguise, a disciple of Ge Xuan, and even along the way... Ge Xuan had already made arrangements, and everywhere he went, someone would answer.
Just as Zuo Ci got into the carriage...
Suddenly, I heard the sound of "da-da-da" horses' hooves resounded, and when I looked up, I could see more than ten fast horses galloping from a distance.
The leader is Xu Chu.
"Zuo Xiangong stays..."
"What else does Huhou have to advise?" Zuo Ci greeted Xu Chu...
Xu Chu turned over and dismounted, and even a burly man beside him also turned over and dismounted, Xu Chu introduced: "Zuo Xiangong, let me introduce to you, this person's name is Jiang Yi, and he is the general of Tianyi who is the prince himself, commanding the flying ball army..."
Not...
Hearing this introduction, Zuo Ci raised his eyes slightly, as if he had guessed something.
Xu Chu's voice continued: "The purpose of Zuo Xiangong's trip is to imitate white phosphorus, and that white phosphorus is used for the fire in the sky above the flying ball, so... The king specially sent General Tianyi to accompany Zuo Xiangong, one is that General Tianyi's martial arts are strong enough to protect Zuo Xiangong, and whether the combination of flying ball and white phosphorus can succeed depends on the two... The two of you can also get acquainted with each other in advance, and you will have to cooperate in the future! β
This...
How did Zuo Ci not know that this was Cao Cao sending someone to spy on him.
He secretly said in his heart:
- "Sure enough, this King of Wei is as suspicious as ever!"
But some things are like this, even if you see through them, you can't say them thoroughly...
Zuo Ci smiled and said: "Okay, since it is the king's good intentions, the old way is disrespectful-"
As he spoke, his eyes and Xu Chu's eyes met each other, and their eyes were facing each other... Comprehend, tacitly, everything is in plain sight!
Xu Chu arched his hand towards Jiang Yi and also towards Zuo Ci.
"Then I wish General Tianyi and Zuo Xiangong a victory, a blockbuster!"
That's it... In a small episode, Jiang Yi successfully tied up with Zuo Ci in a boat.
"Gotta get it..."
With the neighing of the horses, a carriage swept away the dust on the official road, galloped into the distance, and gradually disappeared into Xu Chu's eyes...
The atmosphere in the carriage was very strange, Zuo Ci didn't speak, and Jiang Yi didn't know what to say.
Only... He was thinking of his son!
Under the 200 lashes, I'm afraid it's not comfortable.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Zuo Ci seemed to see Jiang Yan's state of mind, and he asked lightly: "The king is so suspicious by nature, since he is relieved to send the general together, then I want to come... The general must also have a handle in the hands of the king! β
This...
Because of Zuo Ci's words, Jiang Yi seemed to suddenly realize something, his eyes widened to the extreme, but... After only a brief moment, his expression quickly converged, as if nothing had been heard, nothing had happened.
"I'm here again just to escort the Immortal Prince's thoughtfulness, and I have no comment on the rest!"
The more you say that...
Zuo Ci confirmed his guess.
β¦
β¦
Shuzhong, the mansion of Liu Feng, the deputy army lieutenant.
"Falling short, falling short..."
I heard Liu Feng's voice from afar, although this voice was already very restrained, but... It can still wake up the sleeping finch.
With a finch flying up after being frightened, Liu Feng's indignant expression jumped into everyone's eyes here.
In addition to Liu Feng, Ma Yan, Li Yan, and Wu Yi are also here.
Their mood seems to be inexplicably heavy, sighing from time to time, beating their chests from time to time, and stomping their feet from time to time.
"yes... Falling short! β
Li Yan stroked his beard and sighed: "There is only one step away from the death of that Fa Xiao in Huangquan... It's a pity, it's a pity! It's just one step away from us taking the helm of the Dongzhou faction..."
Speaking of this, Ma Jian also looked helpless, "Speaking of which, this filial piety will be avenged, those who have a grudge against him, those who have a grudge against him, and the souls who are killed by him... I'm afraid there are more soldiers and horses than the first school, such a person... How can you turn the tide of danger? That Guan Lin, and that female doctor? How can it be saved? Outrageous... Hehe, hell is this! β
It seems that even now, Ma Jian still feels that there is no problem with his whole plan and layout.
But, here comes the problem, what is the problem?
racked his brains, pondered and meditated, and he couldn't solve it, so he didn't bother with this: "This time it's just luck!" Next time..."
"Next time?" Liu Feng roared angrily, "Obviously, this Fa Xiaozhi and Zhuge Kongming are both closer to Adou's waste wood!" He's alive, and I'm... How can I become a son? I... I..."
Ma Tan was helpless because of the plan...
Liu Feng was angry because he was getting farther and farther away from the position of the son of this world.
This anger also shows that he wants to wear the position of "son of the world"!
"Don't worry, son..."Ma Tan saw that Liu Feng was full of anger, and hurriedly relieved: "If you can't make a plan, then we will do another plan..."
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Li Yan and Wu Yi, his eyes narrowed at this moment, and there was a lot more seriousness and meticulousness in his tone: "General Li, Uncle Wu... Are you ready for those people? β
"Naturally ready!" Li Yan replied solemnly, "Since the condition of Fa Xiaozhi has improved, Ziyuan and I have started this second plan!" β
"Second plan?" Liu Feng was stunned, daring to love... He was the only one who was kept in the dark.
Ma Jian emphasized: "That's right, the second plan, so that Liu Adou's waste wood can never become the plan of the prince-"
This time, while talking... Ma Tan's eyes were almost condensed into a slit.
The sharpness in the cone is about to come out.
