Xuchang.
field.
The wind blows tens of thousands of miles.
Cao Cao stood proudly on the mountains and rivers, with a group of his civil servants and generals behind him, and Guan Ning in front of him.
Guan Ning held a torch and placed the fire on a pile of black gunpowder. With a "Crack" sound, the fire shot into the sky and was quickly extinguished.
This shocked Cao Cao and all the officials and generals. Who had ever seen something burning so fast?
Guan Ning said: "Lord, this is the formula of the Five Thunder Method. When Lin Ze selected the materials, he used saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, and egg whites to combine them into small particles. He never let others interfere with the specific proportions, but we After repeatedly studying the proportions, I finally made it. The reason why it can shatter the earth is because it burns instantly and then explodes."
Cao Cao stood forward, smelled it, and said with joy, "Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Guan Ning is indeed an expert. Tell me, where did Lin Ze learn this skill? Let's attack the city now." , we can do it without any effort. Mr. Guan Ning, can you stay under my account and be my military advisor?"
Guan Ning came to Cao Cao, bowed and said: "Lin Ze is too strong. All the hermit masters in the world want to challenge him. Guan Ning is willing to assist Cao Cao and see how powerful Lin Ze is."
"Okay, okay!" Cao Cao was very happy. He knelt down to tie Guan Ning's shoelaces and said, "Let's see how powerful Lin Ze is, but I have a relationship with him and can't take action directly. You see, how can it be appropriate?" .”
Guan Ning was flattered by the small action of tying his shoelaces. He said: "We can't be enemies with Lin Ze head-on yet, but we can use some other means. Now Yuzhou is a piece of metal, water can't be poured in, and needles can't be inserted." , we can only wait for Lin Ze to move, and then set up a killing situation on the road! If you can kill, kill, if you can't kill, let's just train troops!"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Besides, we can focus our main efforts on Xuzhou. Lin Ze will never think that it is us who assassinate him!"
——
At three o'clock in the morning, a soldier under Cao Cao's command who was from a relatively good family took advantage of the holiday to visit relatives and rushed to Xunfang City. His blue robe was blown up by the wind from time to time.
Entering my lovesickness gate, knowing how painful my lovesickness is, I don’t know why he fell in love with a woman from Xunfang City.
After entering the city, his horses were under unified management. He hurried to a distillery shop, but saw no one. He hurriedly asked the person next door: "Where is the girl Du Xiao?"
The neighbor said: "The distiller's grain shop has little profit, so I went to ask about the flower shop on Liu Street. Look at your appearance. Are you and Du Xiao old?"
How could this soldier have time to say anything? I hurriedly chased him to another street. There was a flower shop, but Du Xiao was not there at all.
In Jin Xuan's mansion, Du Xiao was only one seat lower than Jin Xuan. Jin Xuan had to treat her with respect, but there was no other way. Du Xiao was Shi Liuliu's good sister, and Shi Liuliu was the lord's beloved general. And Du Xiao is a ruthless person. If Lin Ze hadn't banned female soldiers in the army, she would have been the deputy general of the Tigers.
But her talent was indelible, so Lin Ze asked her to come to Xunfang City to gather information, and gave her a fifty-person organization called the Yueying Group.
Lin Ze also promised her that the fifty-man Yueying Group, like the Yi Cong Troops, would only obey her orders, but there was one condition: the women's combat effectiveness must be stronger than that of the Yi Cong Troops.
Being able to be with Lin Ze is probably the dream of all girls in Yuzhou. In fact, Shi Liuliu originally wanted to arrange for Du Xiao to work as a maid in Fengming Garden, but she didn't want to be a vase, so she readily accepted Lin Ze's opinion.
But there are too few women who know kung fu in this era. Until now, she has less than ten people in her hands.
"There was a soldier under Cao Cao's command who had a little money at home. He came to Xunfang City for a few whores and gambling. When he saw me, he stuck to me like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't shake it off. It is said that Cao Cao's side was there today. There's a big movement, Lord Jin, come up with a plan, I want to make some excuses."
Jin Xuan listened to Du Xiao's words and murmured in his heart. This Du Xiao is indeed beautiful. Although he is not as beautiful as the beautiful women around his lord, he still has a unique charm. He is also the father that no man in the world can get. What good information can this soldier under Cao Cao have?
Jin Xuan said: "Or should we arrest him and torture him?"
"No, don't tell me that although this man is good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, he still has some backbone. If he knows that Xunfang City is open to the public, everyone in the world will be alert. It seems that my aunt can only betray Chu Ye today. It’s a cliché in bed!”
Jin Xuan smiled and said: "Aren't you going to keep this body for my lord? Are you going to take advantage of this kid?"
There was a trace of loneliness in Du Xiao's eyes, and he said: "Even my sixth and sixth sister is not qualified to enter Fengming Garden, so why should I enter? Forget it, let's just enjoy the pillow breeze."
At this time, a cold voice came from outside the door: "When did my people have to sell their sex to obtain information?"
Jin Xuan and Du Xiao were both startled, stood up hurriedly and bowed: "Lord!"
Lin Ze strictly ordered Yuzhou's monarchs and ministers to sit down and discuss matters, and not to kneel down. It has become a common practice now, and they never expected that the Lord would come here.
Lin Ze naturally wanted to come and take a look. The recent tax revenue in Xunfang City is no less than the agricultural tax paid by the common people. Come and take a look, it is really magnificent.
This time I came here with Diao Chan to bring the dozen newly trained women.
Lin Ze was sitting on the main seat, and Xu Ziwu was standing by like a door god with a strong aura.
Du Xiao secretly raised his head and looked at Lin Ze. His lord was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but now he seems to have fully recovered. This is really exciting news.
Lin Ze said: "Those who are promiscuous women have nothing to do. The girls in my Yuzhou area must have a good husband's family. Even if they join the army, they must eventually get married and take good care of their husbands and children. What do you think? ? Although the Moon Shadow Group is all women, they are still warriors. Let me tell you, if a person lives as a ghost, it will be too difficult to be a human again in this life."
Du Xiao was so frightened by Lin Ze that he trembled and whispered: "Master, I know I was wrong!"
"I put you here because I want you to get out of the mire and stay clean. You've only been here a few days and you already want to sell your body. Even if it's a betrayal, why should you give it to Cao Cao's people? There are a lot of bachelors in Yi Cong's army. , how much did you hurt their hearts?"
Du Xiao curled his lips and said: "However, my people saw Cao Cao's army coming out of Xuchang a few days ago. There must be something big. I want to know what Cao Cao is thinking."
Lin Zedao: "Isn't it easy to get information from people? A soldier is never tired of deceit, can you use clichés?"
Du Xiao said: "Ah? How to set it up?"
Lin Ze raised the corner of his mouth, stood up and came to Du Xiao, saying, "Believe it or not, I can ask you to tell me the color of your bellyband."
Du Xiao's face turned red with embarrassment and said, "How could that happen? Who would say such a shameful thing?"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "I'm teasing you too, don't take it to heart. Did Liuliu say you like the color red?"
Du Xiao was confused and said, "No, I quite like black."
Lin Ze said: "You are lying. If you don't like red, why do you wear a red bellyband?"
"Nonsense, it's obviously white!" As soon as she finished speaking, Du Xiao covered her mouth and told him herself. She said softly: "My lord, you are so bad. Everyone has been deceived by you."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "The military strategist said that attacking the heart is the most important thing. How to attack the heart? You don't have to know what the other person is thinking. People's hearts cannot be pried into, but there are some people who you can guide and they will not know. Telling something he knows without knowing it is called false confession."
Du Xiao's eyes became bright and he said: "This person is quite stupid. With the way my lord used, he might really be able to deceive him."
Lin Zedao: "If you want to get a confession, cowardly people can use coercion; people who are afraid of death can use knives and axes. Beauty traps can only be used on lustful people. But I don't like honey traps. The previous one I have killed Wang Yun who used beauty traps. But I quite like others using beauty traps against me."
After Lin Ze finished speaking, he checked the accounts and found that they were very smooth. The Qin and Han Dynasties were not far away in ancient times, and most people were very dignified. Being greedy for ink was a great shame to them. Many people never thought of being greedy for ink.
After Jin Xuan became a famous official, he didn't get a penny from his own pocket, and he didn't have any regulations. Generally no one paid them how much salary they had, but it was strange that they could not die of hunger.
Including myself, I obviously haven’t touched much money in these years, but I don’t lack anything.
There's really no way to talk about status, and I'm not greedy. Where does the money come from?
Lin Ze didn't plan to spend the night here. The longer the time passed, the easier it would be for guests who came here to find his traces, which would have a bad impact.
In the evening, Lin Ze took Diao Chan to go back.
Not long after leaving the city, Jin Xuan rode his horse and chased after him. He shouted: "My lord, it's not good!"
Lin Ze reined in the horse and said, "What's wrong? What's all the fuss about."
Jin Xuan said: "My lord, Du Xiao deceived the man, and the master Guan Ning defected to Cao Cao. He developed the formula for your Five Thunder Technique, and he wants to find a way to kill you."
"Hey, I thought it was such a big deal. Cao Cao wants to kill me, not just in a day or two."
Jin Xuan was surprised at Lin Ze's calmness and said, "But he developed the Five Thunder Method."
"It's all trivial. Don't take it too seriously. Run Xunfang City well." Lin Ze said, "Go back and tell Du Xiao that the news that Cao Cao developed the Five Thunder Method is very important."
Lin Ze left the army with his righteousness, leaving Jin Xuan at a loss. What is the Five Thunder Method? That is a magic that can break mountains and rubble. Cao Cao has also mastered this skill, which poses a great threat to his side.
Could it be that the lord has something more powerful?
How could it not be?
After returning home, Lin Ze immediately started designing the Min-20 82mm mortar and manufacturing the 82mm mortar. Lin Ze had carefully considered it. In fact, there was another option, which was to build cannons, but now the main focus is on cavalry combat. In order to be mobile, the cannon was too heavy to be moved by the horse.
No mortar is easy to use. The total weight of the ammunition is less than 70 kilograms. The maximum rate of fire can fire 20 rounds per minute, and the maximum range is three kilometers.
As long as it was something in the military, it was deeply engraved in his mind, and he could draw the design of this mortar exactly.
Looking at the drawings, Tong Yuan's words echoed in Lin Ze's mind...
