Chapter 118

On the Cangxian side, after a three-day rest, everyone in the city took action.

Qin Yu had already prepared a large amount of cement, and the new way of building houses still opened the eyes of those people who had just come to Cangxian.

Since the expansion of Cangxian County requires the excavation of two mountains, gravel and sand are also enough to use.

Lao Huang was entrusted with an important task by Qin Yu and became the supervisor of the whole city, running around the construction site all day long.

But Lao Huang himself is very happy about it, and he doesn't even feel hard.

However, Lao Huang couldn't have imagined that the reason why Qin Yu asked him to be the supervisor was because he was too annoying, and he was annoyed to death because he followed him every day.

Of course, Qin Yu's other purpose is also to let Lao Huang learn something from it and improve his ability.

Although Qin Yu is the county lieutenant of Cangxian County, he has the highest status in Cangxian County, but when he started to do things, he found that he didn't let himself do big things.

If he wants to stir cement and sand together, he will be driven away, saying that with Qin Yu's status, he can't do these rough jobs.

Seeing that he really had nothing to do, Qin Yu had no choice but to focus on the development of iron smelting.

Today's iron-smelting process is really backward, which leads to the fact that although there is cement, the houses are still mainly wooden.

This is mainly due to the lack of steel support, which cannot support the rigid structure and huge weight of frame houses in later generations.

After such a long period of accumulation, the iron-smelting technology of Cangxian County has surpassed this era.

But the limitations of Cangxian are also huge, mainly in terms of iron ore.

Qin Yu could not buy raw iron on a large scale, otherwise he would inevitably be considered a rebellion, but without iron, it would be impossible to establish a complete iron-smelting equipment.

Fortunately, at this time, the system once again played a key role.

Qin Yu saw that his current reputation had reached 50,000, which meant that there were still some people who had not returned to their hearts.

But it doesn't hurt, it takes time, it's just a matter of time.

The most important thing is that now after his reputation reaches 9,000, he has a chance to draw a lottery, and after he reaches 10,000, he gets another chance to draw a lottery.

It's just that after the reputation reaches 10,000, there will be one lottery chance for every 10,000 rises, that is, there are now six lottery chances for yourself.

Qin Yu came to the system interface, and now his heart is much calmer.

Qin Yu did not choose to draw continuously, but conducted the lottery again and again.

[Congratulations to the host, obtain: Pepper seeds]

[Congratulations to the host, obtain: Grapevine]

[Congratulations to the host, obtain: Heavy Cavalry Equipment]

[Congratulations to the host, obtain: Iron Ore]

[Congratulations to the host, obtain: Coal Mine]

[Congratulations to the host, obtain: carrier pigeon]

Qin Yu looked at the six things in the warehouse, the iron mine and the coal mine could be said to be the best prizes.

The second is the carrier pigeon, in this era when the carrier pigeon has not been cultivated, it is definitely the fastest information communication.

As for the heavy cavalry equipment, give it to yourself now, and you have to dare to use it yourself.

As the saying goes, a thousand heavily armored cavalry is in hand, and if the emperor says hand it over, you have to hand it over.

But if 100,000 heavy armored cavalry are in hand, then who is rebelling! I'm going to cook him!

As for chili peppers and ordinary, it is completely for enriching life, supplementing vitamins and needing, whether there is anything or not.

Qin Yu immediately climbed onto the roof, standing on the roof, just overlooking the mountains on all sides of Cangxian County.

"System, I want to exchange for an iron mine, a coal mine!"

[Please designate the mountain as a medium!] 】

Qin Yu looked at the surrounding mountains, and after thinking for a while, he pointed to a mountain in the southwest direction and a mountain in the northeast direction.

[The prize is successful, the cooldown time of the iron mine is three years, and the cooldown time of the coal mine is four years!] 】

It's just that this cooldown time made Qin Yu a little surprised.

One three years and one four years, this is the longest cooldown time Qin Yu has encountered since the cooldown time appeared.

After that, Qin Yu exchanged for a carrier pigeon, and the cooldown time of this carrier pigeon was very short.

Fifty carrier pigeons were exchanged, and the cooldown time was also five days, which means that there were only ten pigeons a day.

At this moment, Qin Yu has something to do.

The coal mine and iron mine are now temporarily untouchable, and Qin Yu can only keep pigeons at home, and this carrier pigeon will be of great use in the future.

······

When Cangxian was in full swing of expansion, Zhao and Chu launched a fierce battle in Guangping, which was in the territory of Chu.

Xiang Feng led the army of Chu and finally stopped Zhao's fierce offensive in Guangping, but Xiang Feng also paid an extremely heavy price.

After Xiang Feng stabilized the situation, he adopted the strategy of holding on to the end and fought with Zhao Guo.

The Zhao side wanted to attack, but the Jin State suddenly stepped in and sent troops to the Zhao State, causing the Zhao State to have to divide its troops against the Jin State, thus delaying the offensive of the Chu State.

As soon as the Jin State sent troops to attack Zhao, the two countries of Jin and Chu concluded an alliance and jointly sent troops to attack Zhao.

This war also completely developed from the war of the three kingdoms of Qi, Tang and Chu to the war of the three great powers of Zhao, Chu and Jin.

Since Zhao Guo attacked Chu in the name of aiding Qi Tang, Qi and Tang naturally couldn't stay out of the matter.

Soon after the Jin and Chu concluded the alliance, the states of Zhao, Qi, and Tang also concluded an alliance to jointly attack Chu.

However, although the alliance was concluded, the two countries of Qi and Tang did not immediately send troops, after all, the two countries of Qi and Tang are now very weak.

It stands to reason that Zhao Guo is now facing the joint attack of the two overlords of Jin and Chu, and should urge Qi and Tang to attack Chu and share their own pressure, but Zhao State did not put pressure on Tang and Chu.

Soon after, however, news came from the west that took everyone by surprise.

Wei and Song, who were forced to submit by the Jin state, suddenly concluded an alliance with the Zhao state, jointly attacked the Jin, and jointly sent 300,000 allied troops to recover the land forcibly occupied by the Jin state.

Wei and Song were completely caught off guard by the Jin state, making the Jin state unable to increase troops in the north.

On the Zhao side, a young general named Zhao Yi was dispatched, which made the leading general of the Jin State look down on him.

And Zhao Yi proved with facts how tragic the consequences of despising young people are.

On the border of Zhao State, Zhao Yi made a feint attack with 80,000 Zhao troops, 20,000 Rong Di light cavalry, and 40,000 Zhao troops surrounded by light cavalry, and defeated the Jin army.

After the Jin army was defeated and retreated to the first line of the gorge, Zhao Yi ambushed with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Yao Heng, the main general of the Jin army, died in the chaotic arrows, and the 250,000 Jin army was almost wiped out.

As soon as this news came out, the world was greatly shaken.

Yao Heng is also a generation of famous generals, but he was defeated by a young general, and even died in the hands of this young general.

Zhao Yi became famous in the first battle, and almost all the people in the world remembered the name Zhao Yi at this time, and Zhao Guo can be regarded as completing the feat of hardening the two overlords of the Central Plains with the strength of one country.
