Chapter 755 Tunnel Warfare, Hi! Tunnel Warfare

Waking up in the morning, Jia Ping touched his left and right hands, and the two women woke up.

Later, Xu Xiaoyu and others packed their bags, and Wei Wushuang and Su Ho took the children to see them off.

"Don't worry, I'll bring you a rock later."

Jia Pingan saw his wife's depression, but he didn't explain it.

Di Renjie cupped his hands, "Safe trip."

Literati like to make some puns. These words are not only to wish Jia Pingan a smooth journey, but also wish him to turn the impossible into the possible, and turn the decay into magic... In a word, at least one reef must be solved, otherwise he will be ashamed to come back.

Jia Pingan calmly cupped his hands, "Leave Huaiying at home."

Jia Yu and DouDou were not aware of their distress, they were laughing.

With Ayer away, we can herd the sheep again.

Jia Pingan hugged them and ordered: "Keep an eye on the homework of the two children, don't let them carry it."

The two children who were laughing immediately turned bitter... Doudou even wanted to cry.

Little bastards, do you really think I can't deal with you?

Jia Ping put them down, "Say goodbye to Aye."

Jia Yu put on a serious face, "Goodbye, Aye."

There was water in Doudou's eyes, and he choked up and said, "Goodbye, Aye."

An atmosphere of rustling wind and cold water came out immediately.

When he arrived at Fangmen, Jiang Rong looked complicated, but finally bowed.

He watched Jia Ping'an and his party go out, and said seriously to the soldiers: "Regardless of success or not, Duke Wuyang is still an idol in my heart."

The word "idol" was taught by Jia Ping'an, and Jiang Rong thought it was very appropriate.

All the soldiers nodded one after another.

On Zhuque Street, Jia Pingan accidentally met Yan Liben. Lao Yan is also carrying his luggage, and behind him is a group of craftsmen...I'm going, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of people.

"Duke Wuyang!"

Yan Liben cupped his hands with a smile,

"Where are you going?"

If he didn't know, Jia Ping'an could resign and go to Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion. This is knowingly asking.

Lao Yan is really not kind.

"Go to Sanmenxia."

Jia Pingan smiled slightly, thinking that Lao Yan was going to Sanmenxia to build a plank road... This can be regarded as an auxiliary means. After it is completed, the grain ship can be pulled upstream all the way.

You play support, I will be the king.

Yan Liben accepted the smile, "It's not that the old man said you, such things... Back then, the old man and his brother went to Sanmenxia several times, and their hopes turned into disappointments in the end. Countless methods were turned into powder in front of the reef. Do you know... …how many ships capsize there every year?"

"countless!"

Yan Liben said melancholy: "Man can't conquer the sky, what can I do?"

Immediately, the two gangs gathered together and went all the way to Sanmenxia.

Along the way, Yan Liben was making indirect remarks.

"Does Mr. Wuyang have any means to clear the waterway? Could it be..." Yan Liben looked at him, and tentatively said, "Could it be that you used a boat to hit it? Those reefs have stood for countless years, and there are countless ships that hit them and capsized. Even getting an iron boat to go there won’t help.”

Jia Pingan was admiring the spring scenery, and said casually, "Simple."

Seeing his tight-lipped tone, Yan Liben sneered, and then began to think about things.

Birds chirped on the branches, and the sound echoed in the mountains, extremely crisp. Occasionally, some beasts appeared, and when they saw such a huge team, they quickly slipped away.

Surrounding me is the surging Yellow River... No, it's already dry.

This year's dry season inexplicably appeared at this time, which should be from May to July...

All the way to Sanmenxia.

Standing on the mountain and looking down...

The entire river was dry beyond imagination, and the reefs were exposed.

Yan Liben sighed: "Is this so? The grain road is really broken."

The officials of the Ministry of Industry sighed unceasingly, and felt that their faces were burning hot, because the Ministry of Industry was incompetent, so that Chang'an was short of food, and the emperor actually wanted to go to Luoyang to eat.

Everyone's hearts were heavy, and Yan Liben immediately ordered the construction of the plank road to start.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Someone was laughing wildly, with great joy.

Yan Liben had a cold face, "Mr. Wuyang thinks it's ridiculous?"

"Yes! Ridiculous, really ridiculous."

Jia Ping'an was really overjoyed. Such dry water just facilitates his plan, why don't you make him dislike it?

Yan Liben walked away, "Zhuzi!"

boy! You are too much!

Jia Ping'an smiled so blindly that it made people hurry up.

A group of people arrived at the side of the river, and there was a dispatched boat by the side. The boatman stepped forward to salute, and said, "Mr. Wuyang, this season is not very dangerous, but the boat must be pulled, otherwise it will not be stable."

Jia Pingan looked at the boat and shook his head, "I don't need a boat."

Well!

Everyone is puzzled.

"Go, call some locals."

The next day, a group of locals came, looking a little numb.

The Duke of Wuyang said he wanted to open the waterway, but look at these people, hundreds of people came to open the waterway, what to use?

An old man boldly stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Wuyang...what to use to communicate?"

With a stick, of course.

Jia Pingan didn't answer the question, "Do you know how to make a sheepskin raft?"

"I know, I know, which one doesn't have a sheepskin raft, and you have to rely on this thing to cross the river."

"My family has two sheepskin rafts."

"I have them too."

Jia Pingan raised his hand, "I want a new one, and the Ministry of War will pay for it."

Everyone is silent.

Damn it, what crime did the Six Departments of the Central Committee do, and no one trusts them.

Jia Pingan turned into the God of Wealth again, and said calmly, "It's 30% higher than the market price."

After the dredging is completed, let alone 30%, Li Zhi doesn't care if it's three times higher. Under the ecstasy, I might even praise Master Jia for the high price.

"Mr. Wuyang...hehe, it's hard to say!"

This is because they were worried about not giving money, and expropriated the sheepskin raft with empty teeth.

Xu Xiaoyu couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed: "My lord is the richest person in Datang, not to mention three times as high, even if he is three times higher, my lord won't blink his eyelids."

Jia Pingan blinked his eyelids.

"The richest man?"

"Of course!" Xu Xiaoyu said proudly: "Do you know who owns the business of tea and ginseng wine? It belongs to my husband. My husband can earn back the money for this sheepskin raft with a jar of ginseng wine."

The old man shivered for a moment, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, "Dare to ask... how many jars of ginseng wine can be sold in a year?"

are you humiliating me Jia Pingan said lightly: "Countless altars."

If it weren't for the inconvenience of bringing money during this trip, Jia Ping'an would be able to flood them with a huge amount of money now.

As soon as the sheepskin raft arrived, Jia Pingan sent people into the water to investigate carefully.

The reef is huge, and the river below flows slowly, which makes people look desperate.

"There are fish!"

A mallet and a hammer killed a fish, and he lifted it up happily.

As long as you are happy.

Yan Liben watched from the shore, shook his head, and went back to continue his work.

His family is very knowledgeable, and he has already thought about such things thoroughly, and thinks that Jia Ping'an is wishful thinking. He hinted several times, but Jia Pingan was indifferent, so let this person make a fool of himself in Sanmenxia.

When he reached the side of the mountain, he looked back again, and the officer under his command smiled bitterly and said, "We are fine with this whimsical idea, but those craftsmen are full of complaints, saying that we are working hard on the mountainside, and they are also working hard in the water." , but it’s useless. If I had known this, I would have brought them up to help me.”

Yan Liben said indifferently: "Jia Ping'an became an official in his youth, and then took charge of a hundred cavalry. He can be said to have achieved his ambition at a young age. He was even more successful in conquest, and was praised by His Majesty, calling him a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. Such people are arrogant, The old man tried many times along the way, but he just turned a deaf ear to it. The old man doesn't feel sorry for those craftsmen, but only for his tossing."

The officer under his command sighed: "Yes! After all this tossing, I don't know how many capsized boats will be in this river. No, it's a sheepskin raft."

"This is not enough." Yan Liben rarely praised Jia Ping'an, "I have never thought of a sheepskin raft. This thing can be soft or hard, with elasticity, even if it hits a rock, it will not hurt."

The sheepskin raft is made of sheepskin. When slaughtering, the abdomen is not cut, but the neck is cut in half, and then the skin is peeled all the way from the neck, and finally the whole sheepskin is obtained. Dispose of the sheepskin. There are openings on the limbs, plus the opening on the neck, so there are five openings, four openings are tied, and one opening is left on the leg for breathing.

Yan Lide sighed and shook his head, feeling extremely regretful, "This young man Jia Pingan has inherited the new learning, which shows that he is a talent, but it is a pity that this person is arrogant, otherwise the old man would want to accept him as a disciple and teach the old man the method of construction. What a pity."

This remark is a bit of an attempt to gain fame.

Yan Lide lit up two skill points, one is construction and the other is painting. He didn't mention painting because he thought Jia Ping'an was not worth mentioning.

"Look, Jia Ping'an has entered the water."

Behind Jia Ping'an was a burly man, but it was Li Jingye who missed the beauty of Chang'an all the way.

"Brother, how do you get such a big reef? Can you smash it open with your fist? If you can, I will help you, brother."

Li Jingye's poisonous tongue opened.

The sheepskin raft is not stable, and it is a bit swaying with the current. Jia Pingan grabbed the wooden board in front with both hands, and cursed: "Hold on firmly, and be careful not to fall into the water."

"The water is not deep...what am I afraid of?"

Li Jingye also stretched out his hand to dig the water, feeling a little cold. The water fluctuated a bit, and Li Jingye shook and shouted: "Hey hey..."

Plop!

Li Jingye fell into the water.

Jia Ping'an's head was full of black lines. Seeing him struggling in the water, as if he was drowning, he cursed: "Stand up!"

It is said that it is the dry season, the Haigu stone is rotten, and your child is still playing with drowning.

"Brother... help!"

Li Jingye thumped in the water, reminding Jia Ping'an of those who were drowned in shallow water.

"Grab the rope."

Jia Pingan threw a rope down, and Li Jingye caught it indiscriminately. At this time, Xu Xiaoyu jumped down... Li Jingye dropped the rope to catch him.

"Don't catch him!"

Jia Ping covered his forehead, watching Xu Xiaoyu being grabbed by Li Jingye, the two of them were bouncing around in the shallow water.

"Quickly stand still."

After tossing for a while, Li Jingye finally stood firm, and said in shock: "Brother, I don't know how to swim."

Then you're still a motherfucker?

"This time, I will let you know how to water."

After surveying the past all the way, Jia Ping'an knew it well.

"Come on, punch."

The craftsmen sat on sheepskin rafts, digging holes from the waist, and some people complained, "I don't know what to do with this."

"Are you going to chisel it off little by little?"

"In the former Han Dynasty, some people wanted to cut away these reefs, but it was useless."

"Hey! He is a noble man, so he can do whatever he says."

There are thousands of people here, but they belong to two departments, even the cooking is like this, each side is on the other side.

A hole was being drilled in the river, and Jia Pingan went to inspect the place where the gunpowder was stored. Hundreds of people are rolling paper into a cylinder, making some boiled gruel as a paste, and encapsulating gunpowder inside.

"Be careful... damn it!"

Jia Ping'an couldn't believe his eyes. Someone in front of him was lighting incense candles and praying to Sanmenxia.

He rushed over, kicked the man over, then pulled out the incense candle and threw it down the mountain.

That man was dressed in nondescript clothes, you could say he was from Fang, but he had a strange aura all over his body. He got up and shouted: "Mr. Wuyang, I am practicing for Sanmenxia, ​​and I will definitely help you..."

"Take it away, by the way, ask what this person is doing here, if it's a magic stick, just send it to the south!"

Jia Pingan looked back at the gunpowder and was terrified.

"How many times have I said this? Don't allow the fire to come near this place, you'll just ignore it?"

Tents are filled with gunpowder, if ignited...

living hell.

The official in charge said ignorantly: "He's still far away! I can't burn it."

I'm so...

"Floating sparks, can you be responsible for your mother?" Jia Pingan roared: "Substitute!"

He died before leaving the teacher, which made the hero burst into tears. The Ministry of War lost troops and generals, and just before the start of work, officials were driven back to Chang'an with sobs.

Jia Pingan was still angry, squatting outside the makeshift dining hall and sulking.

"Mr. Wuyang."

The two girls came out with baskets, seeing Jia Pingan outside, they quickly put down the baskets and saluted.

"Xiao Hua, the doorknob!"

The two girls came to help the cook, and Jia Pingan gave the money happily, and they cooked happily.

Later, after finishing the work, Xiao Hua walked up to Jia Ping'an, and asked timidly, "Mr. Wuyang, can those reefs really be removed? People in the village said..."

She covered her mouth with panic in her eyes.

Xiao Hua is from a nearby village, and has a pair of excellent, swarthy eyes. On the day she came, her father was in a state of panic, saying that he just kept his head down and worked, and anyone who was lazy would be killed.

Jia Pingan smiled and said a few words of reassurance, ensuring the safety and income of Xiaohua and other women.

People in the village have never seen such a high-ranking official, Minister of the Ministry of War!

After returning to the village, Xiaohua's father exploded. Everyone said that Mr. Wuyang was very kind to him, and smiled at him, which showed that the ancestral grave was smoking.

"certainly."

Holes are still being dug below, and thousands of barrels of gunpowder are installed, but it is still not enough.

Jia Pingan pointed to the side, but Xiaohua didn't dare to sit down, she still stood, looked at Jia Pingan with a pair of dark eyes, and quickly lowered her head to avoid it.

"Mr. Wuyang, the people in the village say no! Those stones were dropped by the gods, and no one can shake them."

She took another sneak peek at Jia Ping'an, and felt that Mr. Wuyang was so handsome, and he had an aura that made people's hearts throbbing, making people want to get close to him.

But she is just a village girl, and Duke Wuyang is a high official in Chang'an City, just like a mortal and a fairy, she dare not imagine. However, it's good to have a look!

"The gods don't have the skill to throw stones down, and if they want to throw them, they throw away artifacts."

Jia Pingan had nothing to do, so he chatted with Xiao Hua. When the official in charge came out and saw Xiao Hua outside, he scolded, "How did you know how to be lazy, turn around...Mr. Wuyang."

Xiao Hua was trembling with fright, when she turned around, she found that the official was gone.

"nothing."

This kind of innocent girl is very interesting, Master Jia thinks it can be a nonsense.

"How long are you going to mess around?"

Yan Liben came angrily.

"The old man admits that your chisel is quite sharp, but can you still use the chisel to hollow out the reef?"

What is the purpose of Jia Ping's nonsense?

A few thoughts turned in Yan Liben's mind...

Recently, there is an undercurrent in the city of Chang'an, and Jia Ping'an has also been involved, making it very noisy... Could it be that the emperor hated this guy and simply drove him here to avoid the fights below.

Yes!

Certainly so!

The old man is indeed wise!

After Yan Liben figured it out, his disgust immediately became less disgusted, and he said calmly: "Young man, you have gathered hundreds of craftsmen, are you going to dig here until May? Although you have a lot of money..."

Jia Ping'an grinned, "It's state money."

What a joke, after the dredging of the waterway, if it is reported that Jia Ping'an's personal wealth was used as a reward, Li Zhi would vomit three liters of blood, gnashing his teeth so that Jia Ping'an would be brought into the palace.

Naturally, such great achievements cannot be received randomly.

Yan Liben was stumped by these words, and pointed at him, "You treat me as a donkey for all my good intentions, that's all, you can do it yourself. If you are impeached later, I will naturally stand by and watch."

Lao Yan has clear grievances and grievances.

"What if I get rewarded later?"

Jia Pingan wanted to tease him.

"Rewarded?" Yan Liben smiled, "I'll do whatever you want!"

"I want some pictures."

Jia Pingan smiled happily.

Yan Liben looked at him, shook his head, and felt that the young man didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, so he was really not a son of man.

This is a steep slope, so you have to walk down carefully. Yan Liben leaned back and moved down step by step. There is a small official supporting him, and there is another person behind him pulling his clothes.

Let me go, there is actually a person in front of me, this is to act as a brake, right?

Jia Ping'an felt that Lao Yan was considered a half-national treasure, and this was not a big deal.

At this time, someone ran up below and shouted: "Mr. Wuyang, you said you want to light a fire."

Jia Pingan nodded, and the man shouted down, "Light it up!"

The sound spread below, and someone continued to shout, "Light it up!"

"ignition!"

A picture appeared in Jia Pingan's mind...

Tunnel warfare, hi! Tunnel warfare...

Gunpowder cartridges were stuffed into hundreds of closely connected holes, connected together with wires.

This is the reef on the left. Once it is destroyed, the channel will be unimpeded in an instant.

A small official from the Ministry of War held a torch and was about to light the fire.

"etc!"

When he almost ignited the fuse, Li Jingye's voice came from behind him.

The little official felt his heart beating like thunder, and when he turned around, blood appeared on his pale face.

"Give me some!"

Li Jingye grabbed the torch and easily ignited the fuse.

chi chi chi...

"Quickly avoid it!"

Someone on the shore was roaring.

But Li Jingye didn't panic. His elder brother said that gunpowder can't blow up the reef, he just wanted to make it crisper.

bang bang bang bang bang...

There were dense explosions, like setting off firecrackers.

Yan Liben, who had just reached a gentle place, fell down and rolled down.

"Yan Shangshu, Yan Shangshu..."

Several small officials from the Ministry of Industry were so frightened that they rolled away, and quickly chased after him.

While rolling down, Yan Liben saw a figure flickering.

Jia Pingan rushed down excitedly, helped him up, and then ran down by himself.

At this moment, the reef was surrounded by gunpowder smoke, and Li Jingye was coughing violently on the side.

"Quickly chisel!"

The craftsmen rushed forward, and then stone chips flew.

"It's crispy?"

A craftsman turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of horror.
