Chapter 542 Shocking

Bai Yi sat aside, and Yiyi had already been fed by now.

"Husband is planning to set the big event for next year?"

Bai Yi's face was a bit stunned.

"That's right, it's set to be next year. Don't you think there's enough time, my lady? Now Star Seoul is enough to fight such a battle."

For food and grass, Xing Seoul City has already prepared enough, as well as money.

For Loulan in the Western Regions, after going back and forth a few times, the number of countries that came to star Seoul has increased.

In this way, Xing Seoul made another big profit.

In addition, a lot of gold mines were successfully dug back from Chengzhou Kingdom, and a lot of money was also obtained after smelting.

In addition to the war horses and cattle sold before, these are another large amount of income.

It can be said that there is no problem in today's Star Seoul fighting a large-scale war.

The only problem is that there are not enough troops.

However, as long as there are enough soldiers recruited in Jiyun City and Weibian City, they will be able to fight this battle next year.

This battle has been delayed for a long time, and Lu Chensheng doesn't want to delay any longer.

Bai Yi heard this and thought about it carefully, then nodded.

"If the recruitment of soldiers goes well, it will be enough for this battle, but my husband, you need to prepare logistics, arrows, armor, weapons and so on.

Although the craftsmen in the workshop built it relatively quickly, this time it was a little different. These soldiers were all newly recruited, and these armors and weapons all needed to be forged.

In addition to those arrows, in this war, those arrow towers consumed arrows too quickly. Hundreds of thousands of arrows were shot in a war, and the inventory was almost consumed, right? "

The archery tower is powerful, it looks like a bunker.

In addition to the labor saving of the pulley, it is not like the previous bow, which can be pulled twenty times at a time, and it is almost impossible to pull it.

This is extremely labor-saving, and then you only need to keep covering and shooting. The arrows seem to be free of money, and they are constantly being shot out.

These are all money!

Bai Yi is in charge of the army, so he is naturally more sensitive to these things, so talking about this matter hits the nail on the head.

"As for the armor, there was inventory before, and I have been dealing with this matter. In the inventory over there, I will build more at that time, so that soldiers have armor and weapons. It is not a particularly big problem.

As for arrows, they need to try their best to build more, and then build more hydraulic forging. "

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, and responded to the things to be solved one by one.

"There should be a lot of blacksmiths in Jiyun City and Chuibian City that we just accepted, right? Call some."

Before that, Chengzhou Kingdom had exchanged a lot of craftsmen to this star Seoul, but now it seems that this manpower is still not enough.

"There are indeed quite a few craftsmen in the two cities, and this matter requires an order from my husband."

Liu Wensheng or Cheng Xue in the city would only obey Lu Chensheng's orders.

Lu Chensheng nodded upon hearing this, and prepared to write a warrant later.

Since we are going to prepare for the uprising next year, we are now starting to get into the mood, and it is better to get everything ready as soon as possible.

The next day, Du Rufang and Jiang Yuhua visited.

Lu Chensheng asked Xiaoyu to prepare snacks, and then came to the main hall.

"Are you two having fun these days?"

Lu Chensheng looked at the two of them and immediately smiled.

These days, Lu Chensheng didn't spend much time with the two of them, they just went to play on their own.

"Looking at the training of the Xuanshui Army and the infantry yesterday, I have to say that Brother Lu really has a way of training soldiers. These are the best of the best, which is amazing."

Du Rufang said with a bit of emotion on his face.

He really never thought that these soldiers could be trained to look like this.

It can be said that this is simply a magic weapon.

"If it weren't for such elites, it would be difficult for me to defeat those Tartars."

Lu Chensheng replied after hearing the words.

Du Rufang smiled wryly when he heard the words, "It's spread everywhere now that the soldiers in Xinghan City can be used as five Husbands, and now it's really a well-deserved reputation."

The Han people have always been quite weak in front of the Tartars.

Now it's been reversed, the Tartars are no longer strong in front of the Han people, which is really gratifying.

He is familiar with history books, and he especially hates these Tartars.

Seeing such a scene now, there is only joy in my heart.

Lu Chensheng smiled, seeing the situation, Du Rufang became more and more shaken.

This is a good thing, as long as the other party feels that Xing Seoul is very good, it is more likely to stay.

"I came here this time to say goodbye. I have stayed here for a long time, so I should go back."

Jiang Yuhua spoke at this moment.

It's been a long time since I came here, if I don't go back, I'm afraid things will be troublesome.

"This time the negotiation failed. I'm afraid the emperor will not let it go. There may be troops at that time. Lu Xiaoyou must be prepared."

Lu Chensheng raised his brows when he heard this, he needs a little time now, and it is really not suitable for a war.

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng said.

"I would like to ask the two of you to explain the gunpowder you saw today after you go back. I think after Jiang Jinjing and the others know about it, they won't easily send troops."

The two were startled when they heard this, and then looked at Lu Chensheng strangely.

Isn't it bad for me to leak such things so easily?

Lu Chensheng could see their doubts, and waved his hands at this moment, "It's okay, anyway, after the two battles, they must have known about it, if you don't talk about it when you go back, it will easily arouse suspicion."

Lu Chensheng is not afraid that the other party will know, knowing that there is nothing at all, and now Xinghan City needs to cultivate health and rest, and everything will be easy to talk about next year.

The two of them heard what Lu Chensheng meant, after thinking about it for a while, they made it clear that they wanted to let the other party know that Xinghan City has a strong army.

Time delay.

Xing Seoul, which has just experienced the war, really doesn't want to make troubles at the moment, which is also understandable.

They didn't know that Lu Chensheng had already made up his mind to start an incident next year.

That's why I don't want to start a war so much at this moment.

"Understood, we will try our best to persuade you."

Both of them nodded their heads and said something.

Knowing that the two were going to leave, Lu Chensheng hosted a banquet for the two of them again, and the next day, the two left the city gate together.

After Lu Chensheng sent them to the gate of the city, he watched them leave.

The departure of the two made Lu Chensheng feel somewhat lost.

It can be regarded as an acquaintance, and now the heart is somewhat empty after leaving.

After stopping for a while, Lu Chensheng returned to the city, wrote a letter to ask the two cities to send some craftsmen over, asked about the current situation of the two cities by the way, and then started working with all his strength.

Chapter 543 It's not suitable to send troops

Jiang Yuhua returned to the imperial capital, and the journey was very peaceful, without any major incidents.

When he returned to the imperial capital, he did not go back to his own mansion, but directly entered the palace.

A moment later, Jiang Yuhua was brought to Jiang Jinjing.

"Then what did Lu Chensheng say?"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Jiang Jinjing looked down at the emperor's uncle below, but there was no respect on his face.

"He didn't want to return it."

Jiang Yuhua answered directly.

Jiang Jinjing's face was calm, but he was holding on to the memorial tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.

"That's how you talk about it and you can't even get the city back, so what did you do?"

"I went to spy on it, just like the rumors, there is indeed a magic weapon in Xinghan City, which can be thrown from a distance with the help of a trebuchet, and when it falls on the ground, it will explode with a loud sound like thunder. Within meters, neither humans nor animals can stop it."

Jiang Yuhua said in a deep voice.

When Jiang Jinjing heard this, his face finally became extremely gloomy.

How could he not know about this matter

But these are all from other people's mouths, and they are also somewhat vague, not as clear as what Jiang Yuhua said.

Hearing what Jiang Yuhua said, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.

With such a powerful weapon, what army can fight against the stars of Seoul

But if you don't fight yourself, it is impossible to guarantee that Xing Seoul will not fight against you in the future.

That guy made it clear that he wanted to rebel.

Seeing Jiang Yuhua bring back such reliable information, Jiang Jinjing's grudge against the other party finally eased a little.

Such a secret, Lu Chensheng is unlikely to let the other party know, and bring it back.

It is estimated that Jiang Yuhua took the risk to spy on it.

"This thing is really so powerful"

"Yes, what I saw with my own eyes is definitely not fake"

Jiang Yuhua answered with certainty, and his tone was extremely firm. He had seen it with his own eyes, and he didn't mean to deceive the other party, so he answered in the affirmative right now.

Jiang Jinjing trusted him quite a bit.

It's just that trust is trust, Jiang Yuhua's face is not happy.

It's no wonder that the opponent can be happy when he has such a weapon.

"Based on your point of view, what should we do now? Sending Cloud City can't be handed over to the other party in vain."

Jiang Jinjing looked at the uncle in front of him and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Jiyun City is Jiang State's territory, so naturally it can't just be handed over like this, it's just that the soldiers in Han City are strong, and it's not suitable to raise troops right now.

First, the army that was originally in Jiyun City was almost wiped out now, and Jiang Guo was currently weak.

Second, it is late autumn now, and it will be cold winter in some days, so it is not a good time to raise troops at this moment.

Thirdly, when I went there, I met the mission of the Great Cang Kingdom, and the Great Cang Kingdom failed to take back the Chuibian City. I have already explained to the other party, and hope that the other party can go back and persuade the Emperor of the Great Cang Kingdom to unite with the Jiang Kingdom. Send troops together to take back your own city.

If this can be done, it will be easier to win Jiyun City when the date is fixed. "

Every sentence Jiang Yuhua said made sense, and Jiang Jinjing couldn't help nodding when he heard it.

Especially when he heard the last one, his face was full of surprise.

If they can send troops together with the Great Cang Kingdom, then they will be able to flank Xinghan City, which is definitely more likely than Jiang Guo sending troops by himself.

After all, it would be different if there was another country holding Xing Seoul in check.

Jiang Jinjing pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.

"Sure enough, I told the envoy of the Great Cang Kingdom about this matter."

"Going back to the emperor, I have already mentioned it, but the emperor still needs to send a mission to the Da Cang Kingdom to inquire about the date of dispatching troops and discuss the time for the battle."

Jiang Yuhua replied.

Jiang Jinjing was overjoyed, if he said it seriously, Da Cang Kingdom would have no reason not to agree.

Thinking of this, he waved Jiang Yuhua back.

After Jiang Yuhua bowed and left, a person came out from the side, who was Jiang Jinjing's former staff.
