Chapter 671 The Enemy Is Coming Fiercely
Although Da Mao and the others were shocked and curious, they didn't say anything until Zhao Lang comforted the envoys for a while and sent them away.
The big cat asked cautiously,
"Master, are you really a god?"
Of course, the answer was Zhao Lang's brain failure.
"I have told you so many times that there are no gods in this world."
"Hmph, if you encounter someone who declares yourself to be an immortal in the future, capture them, stab them with two swords, and then burn them with fire. If they don't die, then stab them with two more swords and burn them again until they die. That’s it.”
The big cat covered his forehead and said with a bit of grievance,
"But you just admitted it."
Zhao Lang said calmly,
"I lied."
Of course he lied to those people, but fortunately they didn't care whether he had divine power or not.
This greatly reduces the chance of him being exposed.
And he didn't really intend to be this god. He mainly wanted to deal with the Huns' offensive first, and put other things aside.
Of course, the main reason is that the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu believers on the other side are really delicious.
Looking at the confident owner, the big cat suddenly became wilted.
"Okay, after Big Dog and Su have finished handing over, let them come into my tent."
Zhao Lang quickly ordered and then returned to his tent.
He needs to think carefully about how to use the Celestial God Sect.
Although the other party said that the number of Xiongnu Gahu believers now exceeds 200,000, it would be too naive for him to really think that if he raised his arms on the battlefield, these people would betray him and turn against him.
Let’s not talk about how many old, weak, women and children there are among these more than 200,000 people.
Even though these people are all young and strong, on the battlefield, even if he claims that he is a god, he will probably only make the opponent hesitate for a while, but the battle that should be fought cannot be avoided.
He can only use the beliefs of these people as a weakness to break through at critical moments.
On the other hand, these people can be used to spy on the Huns.
The threat of the Huns comes from their high mobility. As long as you grasp the opponent's position, you can find opportunities to confront the opponent head-on!
And face to face! The Qin army had an advantage over the Xiongnu.
Zhao Lang quickly made up his mind and would implement it after these people returned. At the same time, he also gave them some orders to kill them.
At critical times, the Hu people also play a great role.
After a while, the big cat came in with the big dog and millet.
"Master!"
Zhao Lang nodded and replied,
"Everyone, take a seat."
Nowadays, there are long benches in military camps. They are mainly convenient and sturdy. They can be done with just a few wooden boards.
In the military, the more simple and practical something is, the more popular it is.
After a few people sat down, Zhao Lang quickly asked,
"How much gunpowder did you bring this time?"
In this battle against the Huns, gunpowder will be his key weapon to victory.
It's not that the Qin army couldn't defend without gunpowder, but that without gunpowder the casualties would be very high.
Su said at this time,
"Master, this time we have one hundred thousand kilograms of gunpowder!"
"Yeah, good job...how many pounds?"
Zhao Lang was slightly stunned midway through his words of praise. He was used to praising his young army.
But he quickly realized that Su was talking about one hundred thousand catties!
You know, how many of them were there when they were on the Liaodong battlefield?
It's not that it's difficult to make, it's mainly that saltpeter is not that easy to find in Daqin.
Seeing Zhao Lang's surprised look, Su showed a proud smile and replied,
"Master, Uncle Fu had already expanded production. After you left Liaodong, we didn't stop for a moment."
"I have been collecting raw materials, but there is not enough saltpeter, but then Brother Hai and the others found a lot on an island."
"I came back with a lot of luck."
Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, okay!"
Of course, these 100,000 kilograms of gunpowder sound scary, but in fact it is not much, and it is still crude black powder.
They don't make much refined gunpowder.
The Huns' army exceeds 300,000, and he needs to use a pound of gunpowder to deal with three Huns. This is not an easy task.
However, this has far exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that Su's offer of 50,000 would be good.
It's just that he hasn't figured out how to use gunpowder yet.
Use it directly as a large grenade, which may have some initial effects.
But once the Huns adapt, the effect will be much smaller.
Therefore, he must find an opportunity to hit the Huns hard at once!
"Su, you first mix 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder and put them in bamboo tubes, one kilogram per kilogram. Be ready."
Zhao Lang quickly ordered them one by one,
In order to prevent explosions during transportation, they are transported to the destination as raw materials and then mixed in proportion.
After all, the Qin army had already exploded once before.
Now that Su has brought people here, the gunpowder matters must be left to them.
After everything was arranged, Su and the others immediately prepared to leave. At this time, Da Mao remembered something and said with a smile,
"Master, I almost forgot to tell you something. Erhei's Hu woman gave birth to a big fat boy for him."
"He wants to wait until the child grows up and send him to a school in Xianyang."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Lang nervously.
Zhao Lang pondered for a moment, but did not let go. He just said,
"He also knows the rules. Although he is his descendant, the blood of the Hu people is not allowed to enter the hinterland unless he has great achievements."
Although the Hu people are now controlled by the Celestial Tribe, these people also caused a lot of harm to the people on the border of Daqin.
Some debts still have to be paid, otherwise what will the people of Qin in the border think?
If there is military merit, it will be different.
After hearing this, Da Mao and the others had no choice but to leave.
After being busy until late at night, Zhao Lang got some free time and walked outside the camp to get some air.
"This is much more tiring than 996."
Zhao Lang stretched his muscles and complained slightly.
Even though the army was still led by Meng Tian, he only had to manage the new Qin army that was arriving one after another, and all the arrangements were already extremely complicated.
The slave on the side asked doubtfully,
"Master, what is nine-nine-six?"
Zhao Lang blinked and returned,
"It's something you do six hours a day."
The slave smiled at this time and said,
"So that's it. It's almost the same as when I was in the salt field before."
Zhao Lang suddenly had nothing to say. In the slave's eyes, this must be normal, but he felt that it shouldn't be so tiring. Four hours of work a day was fine.
I didn’t talk about the eight-hour working day with Nupu. The times are different and there is no comparison.
So he asked,
"Where are Han Xin and the others?"
It has been more than ten days since they arrived in Yunzhong County. The follow-up army should have arrived, but except for a small number of former troops, most of them have not arrived yet.
"Master, according to the reports from the past two days, Han Xin and the others are already near Yunzhong County, but they have just slowed down their march."
"It is said that the sergeants will gradually become familiar with the environment in the north. In about ten days, when the snow on the grassland begins to melt, they will arrive."
The slave returns at this time.
Zhao Lang couldn't help but nodded.
Using marches to practice military training is also a good choice.
I hope these new troops can survive.
Zhao Lang was about to return to the camp when suddenly, there was a sound in the night.
Before the slave could react, Zhao Lang suddenly became alert and moved his hand towards his waist.
Fortunately, soon, a familiar voice rang,
"Alang!"
Zhao Lang immediately put down his hand and said with some surprise,
"Xiao Bailian?"
"How will you be here?"
The next moment, a figure appeared in front of him, it was Ji Wushuang.
But Ji Wushuang didn't answer his question, but said,
"so tired."
Then the whole person fell directly into his arms, and then fell asleep directly.
Zhao Lang was slightly startled, and quickly hugged Ji Wushuang, and then sent him to his tent.
After checking for a while, I was relieved that Ji Wushuang was not injured but was just too tired.
"You all go out, I'll just stay with her."
Thinking about it, it seemed that he had never spent any good time with Ji Wushuang.
The main reason is that this scumbag always runs away after taking advantage of him, but now she is better and can take a good look at him.
The slave left with lingering fear.
He didn't react at all just now. If this was an assassin, he wouldn't be able to intervene at all.
He could only retreat and muttered,
"I don't know where that boy Tianyi is now?"
Although Tianyi's words are irritating, he is one of the few people who can protect his master.
A night of silence.
When Ji Wushuang opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Lang sitting there handling things, his serious look was particularly attractive.
Looking at the burnt oil lamp beside her, she instantly understood that Zhao Lang had stayed with her all night.
At this moment, Zhao Lang said calmly,
"The hot water has been prepared for you. Take a good wash when you get up."
"How many days have you not showered? You almost stink!"
Although Ji Wushuang is good-looking, she still stinks when she should.
Ji Wushuang blushed and said,
"I don't stink! Humph!"
But he walked towards the barrel consciously, just took off his coat, and looked at Zhao Lang hesitantly.
"Aren't you going out?"
Zhao Lang said calmly,
"Is there anything we can't be honest with each other? Besides, with so many things to do, I don't have the time to look at you."
Ji Wushuang pouted and entered the barrel in a burst of mist.
Zhao Lang immediately put down what he was doing and looked at the beautiful scenery.
The hazy one is the most beautiful.
"Did not you say..."
Ji Wushuang stared at her beautiful peach blossom eyes and was about to say Zhao Lang, but was forcibly interrupted by the other party.
"Why did you come to the north if you didn't stay in the south?"
Zhao Lang asked with some confusion. He had never thought of letting Ji Wushuang come here in the first place.
According to my own selfishness, I still don't want Ji Wushuang to be in danger.
Ji Wushuang stretched out her beautiful arms and replied,
"I saw your letter to Peng Yue, so I came here to protect you. Your martial arts skills are so poor. What if you are injured?"
Hearing this, Zhao Lang suddenly fell silent. He wanted to refute, but was unable to refute.
To put it bluntly, even in the entire Great Qin, there are only a few people who dare to say that they can defeat him head-on.
But Ji Wushuang happened to be there, and he was very angry.
I can only avoid this topic and ask,
“What about the farmers in the south?”
Ji Wushuang replied while rubbing the mud on her body,
"In the south, there are Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Peng Yue watching over them. The farmers will not suffer any loss."
"but..."
Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows and asked,
"But what?"
Ji Wushuang's eyes dimmed and he said,
"But Ah Lang, although we won and the farmers' lives were a little better, we were still bullied by the nobles and landlords."
"I've dealt with a lot of bullies who insulted farmers along the way, but it seems like I can't kill them all. I've killed some in the north before, but this time when I came back, many more appeared."
Zhao Lang was slightly startled. Are you always so tired of emotions? Are you killing people?
He thought it was because the other party was too tired from traveling all the way?
"Well, farmers' lives will get better and better. You forgot that I told you that the more things concern all farmers, the more slowly you have to take things."
Zhao Lang said calmly, of course he knew the plight of farmers, and even said that farmers are indeed suffering from the suffering of life every moment.
However, development is a long process, and the more urgent it is, the more likely it is that things will go wrong.
Sorry, he is not the savior, and he cannot save everyone.
You can only do your best.
Even in prosperous times, people will suffer.
That’s why there’s that sentence, ‘When things prosper, the people suffer; when they perish, the people suffer. ’
Looking at Ji Wushuang, who was a little guilty, Zhao Lang said,
"The most important thing for Da Qin now is to deal with the Huns. Otherwise, the farmers and people in the northern counties will be hit hard."
Ji Wushuang nodded.
Soon, Ji Wushuang finished washing, and Zhao Lang admired another picture of a beauty taking a bath.
To be honest, in this situation, he just wanted to recite a poem.
As the saying goes...
At this moment, the slave's voice came from outside the camp,
"Master! General Meng invites you to come and discuss matters!"
Ji Wushuang immediately covered her mouth and laughed. Zhao Lang gritted his teeth and gave the other party a picture of Qin Jun's costume.
"You will be my personal soldier from now on."
Although a team of doctors and craftsmen would be fine with a woman, it would still be bad to have a woman around him.
Everyone is fighting, but you bring a woman with you?
It will hurt morale to some extent.
After saying that, he walked out of the tent and glared at the slave.
But the slave outside felt that his master was becoming more and more difficult to figure out, so he sent an order. Why did he feel that the other party was not in the right mood?
Sure enough, his teacher was right, being with a king is like being with a tiger, and he must cheer up all the time.
Fortunately, Ji Wushuang walked out neatly soon. Not to mention, Ji Wushuang was very good at dressing up as a man.
Zhao Lang quickly led the people all the way to Meng Tian's camp. At this time, most of the generals were also here. It seemed that there were some important arrangements.
He also happened to talk to Meng Tian about how he wanted Han Xin to lead the army to fight back in this war.
After all, Meng Tian is also starting to grow old.
"Your Highness, there have been more and more Xiongnu investigations recently. I'm afraid there will be an operation after the snow melts."
Meng Tian frowned slightly at this time and said,
"At the same time, there are signs of enemy forces in the direction of the Qiang, Yuezhi, and Hu people."
"The enemy army is coming fiercely."
