Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 832
Once Yan Ding died, there would be no strangers in this team, and Yuan Li felt that the air was much fresher. Even if he was still hungry, it did not hinder his good mood.
When he is in a good mood, he has time to worry about the situation outside.
It’s a pity that there are few people here, and the guards have to travel a long way to find out some information, and their information is not very accurate. Some people say that there are capable people in the Zhao family army who can lead the thunder to split the city gate, so the Zhao family army There are more than a dozen cities in a row.
Yuan Li sneered when he heard this, they relied on their real abilities to fight wars as governors, and if they were able to make people different from others or attract thunder from the sky, it must be that those people outside used the name of immortals to weaken their ability to serve as governors.
But Yuan Li didn’t know that this theory had spread throughout the Central Plains at an extremely fast speed, and even King Langya and Dao Wang in Jiangdong had heard of it.
Contrary to Yuan Li, King Langya believed that Zhao Hanzhang was a manifestation of his intention to take the throne.
He worriedly said to Wang Dao: “The power of the king is granted by God. Zhao Hanzhang’s move is obviously to use the name of an immortal to show that she is the rightful king. She is now dominating the Central Plains and occupying Sizhou. Even the emperor of Han died in If she really proclaims herself emperor, no one can stop her.”
In the name of a fairy, I am afraid that many people will agree to surrender.
To be honest, Zhao Hanzhang’s winning rate is higher than him, no matter in terms of population or geographical advantage.
Wang Dao said: “If she really proclaims the emperor, I don’t have to worry about it. The emperor is still there. If she dares to proclaim the emperor, the leader can issue a message in the name of the royal family to wipe out the rebellious officials and thieves.”
Langya King: “Mao Hong means that this is not the information she released?”
Wang Dao shook his head, “I have always wondered about one thing. Pingyang City is strong, and it is also the capital of the Han Dynasty. There are plenty of food and soldiers inside. How could Zhao Hanzhang take Pingyang within three days? He rushed into the Pingyang Palace in half a day.”
He said: “If there is no internal response, then she must have a siege weapon in her hand. This may be the thunder mentioned in the rumors.”
Langya King laughed: “I have never heard of such a thing in the world. This matter is mostly a rumor. Could it be that there are really gods helping her?”
Director Wang said faintly: “It may not be a god, but maybe there are capable people. Four years ago, who would have thought that colored glaze worth a thousand gold could be made in a workshop in the Central Plains, and it could have so many forms. Can I buy a clear and bright glazed mirror?”
“There are also ironware produced in Yuzhou, and the advantages of Zhao’s army’s weapons are unique in the world; there is also their bookstore and paper workshop. In the past two years, not only paper, but even books have been reduced in price. Zhao Hanzhang definitely has a lot of talented craftsmen. She can It’s not uncommon to create new siege weapons.”
King Langya became worried when he heard this, “Then what should I do?”
Wang Dao said: “King Yuzhang and other royal bloodlines don’t know life and death. The leader should respect the corporals and obtain the approval of the Jiangdong gentry. She will conquer the south first. As long as the emperor is here, she will be a traitor if she dares to go further. If she doesn’t go further, in order to fight against the Xiongnu, she You can only support the royal family, and King Yuzhang and others are gone, and you are the most legitimate candidate for the leader.”
Langya King nodded repeatedly, and asked in a low voice, “Then what if she finds King Yuzhang?”
Director Wang also lowered his voice, “A certain person has sent people to search everywhere, as long as we find them first, we will not be afraid.”
“That’s one thing, we can make other arrangements,” Dao Wang said, “Now is the critical moment, the leader can order officials and celebrities from all over the world to come to Jianye to discuss major issues.”
Wang Dao said: “Don’t they want the Northern Expedition? We must discuss the matter of sending troops. Will they use Yuzhou?”
Langya King understood immediately, and responded repeatedly, and immediately asked people to post posts to officials and celebrities everywhere.
Zhao Ming also heard this rumor, unlike King Langya, he knew that this rumor was true, but it was not some fairy, but Fu Tinghan.
Seeing what Qiuwu carefully escorted to the army, he asked, “Is this the one that opened the gate of Pingyang City?”
Qiuwu replied respectfully: “That’s what Mr. Dalang said. We have modified the interior according to the drawings given by Mr. Dalang. At that time, we only need to light the fire and throw it out like a stone.”
Zhao Ming walked around it, thinking of what he saw when he went to the mine to open the mountain, nodded, “Is Zhao Ju ready?”
“Yes, I sent people to **** ten barrels there, and the rest are here.” Qiuwu asked, “Do you want to hand it over to General Xun?”
Zhao Ming thought for a while and then shook his head: “There is no rush, I will leave it to him when we counterattack tomorrow.”
Paused, Zhao Ming said: “During this period, you should take good care of it, and don’t let it out.”
Qiu Wu responded solemnly, and said: “Don’t worry, all my subordinates are loyal to the girl.”
The weapon shop is very important. The people chosen by Zhao Hanzhang are all servants of the death contract, and the lives of the whole family are in her hands.
Zhao Ming turned around and went back to the main tent. Chen Siniang followed behind him, and couldn’t help but ask, “Junior, don’t you trust General Xun?”
Meng County fell and Xiayi was besieged. Zhao Ming urgently ordered all the counties and counties to bring troops to help, especially the central and western parts of Yuzhou. They are not in danger of falling now, so they can send troops here.
Chen Siniang came here as ordered, and at this time she was obeying Zhao Ming’s orders, but Xun Xiu still had to obey the war.
Zhao Ming glanced at her, because she was rescued by Zhao Hanzhang and hired by Zhao Hanzhang. Zhao Ming trusted her very much and said, “It’s not that I don’t believe it, but I’m just careful to sail for ten thousand years. Xun Xiu is too arrogant, I Don’t worry about him.”
Soon it was time for a big counterattack, Zhao Hanzhang gave an order, and the Zhao family army began to throw gunpowder at the gate of Meng County regardless of the cost.
When the first blast of gunpowder exploded, the whole city trembled twice. The faces of the people on the tower and in the city were all pale, and some even shouted loudly: “It’s thunder, it’s thunder, the Zhao family army really has immortals to help!”
“Shut up!” Zhixiong was furious, and shouted: “Get on the bow and arrow and the bed crossbow, and the bed crossbow, shoot it out, shoot it out!”
The city gate of Meng County has been remodeled by Zhao Hanzhang. The outside is made of iron, and the inside is covered with wood and iron. Basically, it is a layer of wood and a layer of iron, and then a layer of wood and a layer of iron. There are twenty-six floors. Once the mechanism is locked, it is as heavy as a thousand catties. It cannot be knocked open from the outside, and it is not even easy to explode.
Two rounds of explosive barrels were fired, but only exploded two or three layers of iron sheets and wooden boards.
Zhao Hanzhang never imagined that one day the city gate she specially made would be able to defend herself.
At the beginning, Shi Le also entered Meng County at a great price. I heard that they besieged the city for a full month. If he hadn’t attacked Zhao Ju and attracted Xun Xiu and others in the city, the city could have been held for half a year with this gate.
Seeing that the city gate could not be opened by the bomb, Fu Tinghan immediately aimed at the city tower.
Zhao Hanzhang also asked the Yunti team to prepare. At the same time, on the other side of Mengxian County, Xun Xiu also launched a fierce attack. He led people to break through Jiehu’s defense line, but was quickly beaten back.
This is just a small town in Meng County, so many Han soldiers are stationed in it?
Facing Zhao Ming’s gaze, Xun Xiu was a little annoyed, and organized another attack. This time he took the lead and rushed to the front.
