MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 805 Change
Pingyang has been unable to attack for a long time because the city wall of Pingyang is high and the food is abundant. As long as the Huns cannot defend it, it is difficult for them to attack.
Chen Wudao: "My lord, let's attack by force. Bring the climbing ladder."
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the moat under Pingyang City, then at the height of the city wall, shook his head and said, "No, many people will die if we attack like this."
Ji Yuan said: "Then we can only besiege the city, force them to run out of food and grass, and have to leave the city."
Ming Yu said: "You can also force them to ask for help from the army outside, which can slow down their attack on Yuzhou. The envoy wants to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and it will only be successful if they return for help."
Zhao Hanzhang did not object to this point, nodded and said: "Then make a strong attack and force them to ask for help."
Seeing that she was still frowning, Fu Tinghan asked, "When their reinforcements come back, can you still enter Pingyang City?"
Zhao Hanzhang shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Fu Tinghan: "Do you really want to get in?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I want to catch their emperor and use it."
Fu Tinghan understood after a little thought, "You want to exchange their emperor for our emperor?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "I'm afraid they won't agree to change the emperor, but it shouldn't be difficult for the emperor to change his uncle."
Ji Yuan on the side heard it, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not right, they still want to threaten you with Zhao Shangshu, the Huns are different from us, the emperor is captured, just change another one, they don't have us in this point Tangled."
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I redeem my uncle and grandfather, and I can promise them that the emperor will not die, and I will not establish a new emperor."
Ji Yuan frowned, he wanted to discuss this matter with Zhao Hanzhang a long time ago, but she has been very busy since she came back, and she was never free, and now the words came to this point, so he asked: "The prince died, what is the matter?" Who does the girl want to make crown prince?"
Zhao Hanzhang evaded and said: "The bead of the clan has not been found yet."
"Someone saw King Qin in Xiuwu County," Ji Yuan said, "I have already sent someone to look for it, and the governor of Zhao County should have received the news. There is no news about King Yuzhang and King Xindu. What we mean is that those two don't know whether they are alive or dead. He is also young, so it is better to make King Qin the crown prince."
Zhao Hanzhang: "Isn't King Qin young? He is only ten years old, can he be in power?"
Ji Yuan: "He doesn't need to worry about it, isn't there a girl?"
Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Sir, suggest that I be the second Gou Xi?"
"No, I suggest you to be Cao Mengde."
Is Gou Xi a good example?
Ji Yuan glanced at her, he is not stupid, how could he suggest her to be Gou Xi?
Ji Yuan said: "Only in this way can you order the world to serve you."
Zhao Hanzhang frowned, "But to re-establish the emperor, the old ministers must be recruited. The powerful families are in their own way, and the Jin family... It's not that I think highly of them, but that they are too capable of fighting and killing. The reason why I asked Gou Xi to take the emperor to move the capital away , I just don’t want to fall into this vicious circle.”
"One moment and another moment," Ji Yuan said, "Now the world is in chaos and the emperor has been captured. Besides you, who else can turn the tide?"
He said: "In the first battle in Yuncheng, most of the officials in the court were taken into captivity, and only two or three out of ten escaped. Their official positions are humble, and they dare not disobey you."
Zhao Hanzhang listened and thought seriously.
Ji Yuan persisted and said: "Your Majesty, the world has become so chaotic, even a distant relative like King Langya dares to call himself the leader of the alliance, who knows who will appear in the future?"
"It's better for you to establish an orthodoxy. With the emperor in hand, you can order the world. You can choose all the ministers in the court. You can do whatever you want as before." Ji Yuan lowered his voice: "In the future, you will calm down In the world, everything will come naturally like Emperor Wen, so who dares to speak against you?"
Zhao Hanzhang is a good child who listens to persuasion. She touched her chin and thought about it seriously, "Mr. is right, but I promised my fifth uncle that I will never destroy Jin."
Ji Yuan said in a low voice: "Young lady thinks too much. When the time comes, the new emperor sincerely surrenders. How can there be the theory of destroying Jin?"
Ming Yu on the side also said: "Girls don't have to worry about this, just let nature take its course."
During the Han Dynasty, Cao Pi wanted to be the emperor and was advised by people loyal to the Han Dynasty. Now, who cares about being a Jin minister?
Anyway, Ji Yuan and Ming Yu have always looked down on Jin.
Chen Wu hesitated to speak. He is loyal to Jin, but not to Jin. He is loyal to Han. Well, Zhao Hanzhang is also Han. It doesn’t matter if she has such ambitions. Who should be the emperor? Just let the people live a stable life.
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said: "Let's find someone first. His Majesty is still there. Even if a prince is established, he is just a prince."
Zhao Hanzhang looked at Pingyang City in the distance, and said worriedly: "How will we fight this city?"
Everyone looked at Pingyang City and worried. In fact, if they had time to surround him for three to five months, the food in their city would be almost exhausted, and it would definitely be a mess.
But the problem is, time does not allow it.
Fu Tinghan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and pulled her aside and said, "What should I do with gunpowder?"
Zhao Hanzhang frowned, "Didn't you say that gunpowder cannot be used in war?"
Fu Tinghan took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and showed it to her, "Once some things are made, they are no longer under human control. This is the same as Pandora, we took it for granted at the beginning."
Zhao Hanzhang opened the letter, it was a letter from Qiuwu.
He is responsible for preparing food, grass and weapons for each army. Among them, the Zhao family army in Luoyang needs several catapults and bed crossbows for siege.
Qiuwu had a whim when preparing, and felt that the stones projected by the trebuchet were not deterrent enough, so it was better to use the explosives they used to mine ore.
Since gunpowder can blow up stones, it must also be able to blow up city walls.
The more Qiuwu thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. He even led someone to blow up the wall of a house with explosives. After confirming that it really collapsed, he excitedly told Fu Tinghan about it, and wrote an 800-character essay , thinking they could make new weapons out of it.
So when he sent the trebuchet and bed crossbow to Luoyang, he asked someone to make a cart of gunpowder and bring it with him, and escorted it two miles behind.
With such a long distance, they were safely sent to Luoyang, and then sent here from Luoyang.
Fu Tinghan said: "I have been suppressing this matter, and I didn't tell the third person. I just wanted to wait for you to come back and make up your mind. Should the explosives be used or not?"
Zhao Hanzhang looked down at the letter, her hands clenched tightly, and when she raised her head, her expression was calm. She smiled and said: "Use it, it can reduce the casualties of soldiers, why not use it?"
"Since the box has been opened, we can no longer escape," Zhao Hanzhang suppressed his beating heart, and said, "Let's face it squarely, and since we want to use it, then use it well."
This means to fully develop firearms.
