Yue Hongling saw a letter in Xiao Yi's hand and asked, "But is there a letter from the capital?"
Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Well, there is a letter from the capital. Zhao Xuanjia reported that King Kang wanted the military power of Jingzhou on the grounds that Li, Dong and Yuan were stirring up trouble, so he could go north to the capital."
King Kang was at Tanzhou on Jiangnan Road, guarding the land south of Daqian to intimidate the Yi people in the west.
Over the years, I have become increasingly restless.
Jiangnan Road is also considered a fertile land. In ancient times, it was the land of Baiyue. Later, in the pre-Qin period, Changsha County was established. From then on, respect for the Central Plains religion began.
Compared with central Guizhou, Changsha County has experienced thousands of years of education and has become quite prosperous.
Yue Hongling took a sip of green tea and asked: "King Kang wants to occupy Jingzhou and completely control Jiangnan Road. What are you going to do?"
"Zhao Xuanjia, the prefect of Jingzhou, also has unclear thoughts. His presentation is actually a kind of test. After thinking about it, the battle report of the Battle of Phoenix Ridge has been placed on his table. King Kang's request for military power may not be two or three times a day. God, he didn't choose to report it until now. It's very likely that there is still some friction between the two of them." Xiao Yi put the letter in front of Yue Hongling, sat down next to her, and took a sip of green tea.
Dongchang didn't inquire much about King Kang because it was difficult to reach out that far at this stage.
What's more important is that King Kang has made Tanzhou impenetrable. Anyone from outside the country who comes to Tanzhou will be closely watched.
On the surface, Tanzhou in Jiangnan Province is a peaceful place.
I want to dig deeper, but I can't.
The people live and work in peace and contentment. If you want to find out some information, it is because His Royal Highness King Kang is benevolent and righteous, and he respects this border guard prince very much.
Further up, the local officials seemed to be honest and honest, and few corrupt officials would be bribed by them.
And the more this is the case, the more it proves that King Kang is not simple.
Under Yue Hongling's knife-shaped eyebrows, her bright eyes flickered and she asked: "Then Zhao Xuanjia doesn't intend to hide Prince Kang's ulterior motives?"
Xiao Yi stood up and motioned for Yue Hongling to follow him to the study. As he walked, he said, "I definitely can't hide it anymore. In the past, I might have been afraid that the court would do anything wrong, and wanted to keep my reputation as the prefect of Jingzhou."
"Now, I definitely don't want Gu to defeat Li Thief, then turn south and seize his military power."
"Because his military power has been taken away, who will be able to guard Jingzhou and defend King Kang?"
In comparison, Zhao Xuanjia is a smarter person.
There is no rush to jump out after this.
Dong Zhuo, for example, was the first to jump out, but now he has to face His Highness King Yan's Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun.
Li Thief, for example, directly led an army of 100,000 soldiers south, almost approaching the Yellow River, and was able to cross the river immediately and land in Chang'an.
As a result, he was beaten to a pulp by Prince Xiao Yi in Fenghuang Ridge, and even cried bitterly after he fled.
Zhao Xuanjia should have explored the situation in the capital and knew that he could not use troops at this time.
There is also King Kang behind him.
Once he went north, he was entrusted by the imperial guards of the capital to wait until the prince Xiao Yi returned south to the capital.
He was attacked from both sides.
Prince Xiao Yi pacified the Zhao thieves, and King Kang went north to occupy Jingzhou.
He, Zhao Xuanjia, has no place to stay.
It is better to sit firmly in Jingzhou, build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.
Yue Hongling nodded, feeling that what Xiao Yi said was very reasonable. He hid it before because he wanted to save his name, but now if he didn't stop it, he wanted to save his life. He said in a low voice: "What your Highness said is reasonable. If that's the case, then Leave Zhao Xuanjia and King Kang alone and let them bite first."
Xiao Yidao: "Actually, if King Kang has any intention, he cannot avoid Jingzhou. Of course, we must also prevent the two of them from playing tricks on each other. They have already secretly communicated about the music."
This awakened Yue Hongling, and she nodded quickly, feeling that what Xiao Yi said made more sense.
What if Zhao Xuanjia had already united with King Kang?
In order to make Xiao Yi think that they were fighting dog, they had this memorial, and then they pretended to fight, but in fact they were plotting each other secretly?
It's not impossible.
Xiao Yi thought about this and stared at Yue Hongling, who had a frosty face. He stood up, picked up a pear, took the dagger, gently peeled the remaining peel, took the girl's hand, and said: "The soldiers will stop the water and the soil." Hi, they have their own plans, and Gu also has his own plans, and the final result is to see who has the bigger fist and eats the pear."
Yue Hongling's clear eyes flashed, thinking about Xiao Yi's words, and said: "That's right, the world is now a mess. If you want to cut through the mess quickly, you must sharpen the knife in your hand to be extremely sharp."
Xiao Yi's face paused, and he looked at Yue Hongling who took a pear and took a bite, and said softly: "Yes, first sharpen the knife in your hand to be extremely sharp. When the time comes, whoever is not convinced, let him try it alone." The knife in your hand!"
This is Xiao Yi's plan from a long time ago, to raise his own team.
This team is not just a few civil servants, but famous ministers, generals and celebrities.
Han Shizhong, Di Qing, Xin Qiji, plus Yue Hongling, these are the talents of the four generals.
Di Yan and Fang Xuan were also talented Wang Zuo.
There may be more celebrities in the future. With these people, they will be more than enough to fight against the five kings, five governors and four barbarians.
Xiao Yi began to review the memorials. What came from the capital was not just letters, but also some important memorials that needed approval from the prince who was overseeing the country.
Because the prince's seal is here, it will only be effective if the prince's seal is stamped on it.
Yue Hongling was bored and wanted to go to the wounded barracks with Xiao Yi later, so she picked up the books on the bookshelf that had just been sorted by eunuch Huaiji.
These are some of the books that Xiao Yi must bring with him when he travels. They contain military strategies and strategies, as well as some other books.
In his previous life, he had followed the idea that studying was the only way a person could achieve class crossing or achieve success regardless of his identity or family background. There was no other way.
When I was a child, I always heard my teacher say that books are precious treasures.
In fact, Xiao Yi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at that time.
Until later.
The moment when he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and wanted to change his life and his destiny.
Only then did he understand.
From then on, he worked very hard, studied hard, enriched himself, and gained knowledge.
The more I read, the more I learn.
From a small employee to a business owner, to an entrepreneur who created a small business, until he stood on the top of the mountain in that industry, but he saw bigger and higher mountains...
When Xiao Yi was almost done with the memorial, Yue Hongling took a book and asked softly: "Why do you also like some strange skills?"
This book contains many records about the use of gunpowder, as well as many speculations, which made Yue Hongling think it was impossible.
Is that powder-like thing really that powerful?
Xiao Yi was a little confused at first, but when he saw the book in Yue Hongling's hand, he smiled and said: "This is not a clever trick, but an important weapon of the country!"
Yue Hongling's eyes were full of disbelief, she tilted her head slightly and asked: "Can something like flour really be so powerful?"
Xiao Yi waved his hand and signaled Yue Hongling to come closer. When the other party came over, he stepped aside a little, meaning to let her sit next to him, and said: "At this stage, it is definitely not possible, but I believe that it will be possible in the near future. .”
Yue Hongling still didn't believe it a little and stood beside Xiao Yi without sitting down.
Xiao Yi stared at Yue Hongling, looked at her for a while, and then looked at the girl with annoyance in her eyes, and said: "I know that it is a bit fanciful to say this, but it is indeed true, and it is not that it has never happened before. , In the past, a Taoist priest made an elixir and added a lot of materials, but in the end the elixir failed, and instead he blew up the alchemy furnace and directly destroyed a secret room."
"Gu also learned about it from books, and asked some Taoist priests to confirm that this kind of thing had happened. Then he also found the elixir prescriptions of those Taoist priests who made alchemy, and asked Chen Gui to find the real materials and test it out. , it can indeed explode.”
Yue Hongling's eyes suddenly lit up and she became interested.
She sat directly next to Xiao Yi, frowned, and said softly: "If it is true, then we will have a great advantage against the cavalry of Meng Yuan and Bei Yan in the future."
Xiao Yi said silently: "Of course, I also thought that since it is so powerful that it can destroy a secret room, then if it is used on the battlefield, throw this thing out in the enemy's camp What a scene it would be if it exploded!"
When Yue Hongling heard this, her clear eyes flickered under Liu Ye's eyebrows, and she murmured softly: "It must be that the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking. The rebel army will be frightened out of fear. The war horses will also be greatly affected, and the cavalry will become infantry."
Xiao Yi said: "It's more than that."
"What kind of scene is that?" Yue Hongling glanced at Xiao Yi with her narrow eyes under her curved eyebrows and asked with a pouted mouth.
Xiao Yi moved slightly, took out a book from the table, placed it in front of Yue Hongling, opened it, and said: "That will be a prosperous era, when the world will surrender, and the iron cavalry of the barbarians in the North will no longer be anything. A myth of invincibility."
“It’s when mountains are opened that the mountains are opened, when seas are opened, it’s when Daqian will create an unprecedented prosperous age.”
"The reason why Gu is called the most important weapon of the country is not only that it can be used on the battlefield. It is said that the road to Shu is difficult and it is difficult to reach the sky."
"Then what if Gu Ruo uses this thing to open a mountain?"
"In this way, wouldn't it be possible to build a wide official road that can lead directly to the middle of Shu?"
"Also, if we can build this weapon and put it on the ship, when we go to sea in the future, if we encounter any pirates or the like, once it is fired, they will just think that the thunder has come to the world."
In Xiao Yi's description, gunpowder has too many uses, and the changes it brings are also very, very big.
From road construction to people's livelihood, from people's livelihood to taxation, from taxation to national destiny...
Yue Hongling listened and was dumbfounded for a moment.
And when Xiao Yi saw her cute look, his heart suddenly became excited. He couldn't hold it back and leaned forward...
