Beside the rugged mountain road, the local people of Nankang County kneeled on the ground.Such a large boulder was blasted into several sections abruptly, like a landslide and an earth crack.

Unless it is the power of ghosts and gods, who can do such a thing?

Even Wang Wei couldn't believe it. He knew the power of gunpowder, but he didn't know that it could reach such a level.

Only Liu Yishou looked at the pieces of gravel calmly, knowing why it happened.

This time, the gunpowder has a different ratio. The proportion of sulfur has been increased and the proportion of charcoal has been reduced. It is suitable for blasting mountains and mining. Second, it uses "new" granular gunpowder, which is at least three times as powerful as the original one!
And it is less susceptible to moisture, easier to store and transport.

In the second generation of gunpowder, subdivision and granulation of components began to appear, and specialized gunpowder was used for special purposes.

Now that there is such an effect, Liu Yishou only feels that science is the primary productive force, which is totally worthy of any ghosts and monsters.Of course, social science is also science, and respecting the laws of social development is also indispensable.

It's a pity that these special explosives are barely enough to build roads, and the gunpowder used in firearms is not good at all for bombing the city, otherwise Chen Ba would really not be afraid to stay behind closed doors.

"It exploded! It exploded! The rocks on the mountain road exploded!"

Some soldiers in the army who "have seen the world" shouted loudly, and their excitement was beyond words.

Wang Wei also stepped up to Liu Yishou and bowed his hands in front of Liu Yishou, his ears were buzzing!
This thing needs to be wrapped with cotton cloth for several layers, and then dug and compacted. It is quite troublesome, so it can only be used to dig tunnels and blow up cities.If you can blow up the city wall by throwing it on the side of the wall, you can really run rampant in the world.

Moreover, the cost of using this thing is really not low, especially the saltpeter mines are hard to find, and they are scattered all over the country, so they need to be transported separately, etc., which leads to the high cost of gunpowder.

In order to obtain a large amount of saltpeter, Liu Yishou also specially issued an edict in the name of the emperor, asking the common people to collect "ground frost" from the corners of latrines, pigpens, and stables, and boil it to obtain saltpeter with high purity. Into a lot!

"Send someone to spread the news that we blasted rocks, and scare Chen Baxian and those under him."

Liu Yishou said calmly, he was covering his ears just now, so he didn't look like Wang Wei and the others, let alone those people in Nankang County who knelt on the ground in despair thinking that ghosts and gods were showing their power.

However, Wang Wei hadn't recovered yet. He put his hand next to his ear and made a "can't hear" gesture.

Liu Yishou shook his head with a broken smile, turned around and left on his own.

Since the "giant rock" on the mountain road was blown into several sections by gunpowder, the speed of repairing the mountain road has obviously accelerated.In the past, whether it was ordinary people in Nankang County, or local wealthy households, or even soldiers in Liu Yi's garrison, they actually had little confidence in repairing this road.

No one believes that those few big rocks on the mountain path can be cleared away, even if the gods come, they may not be able to do it.

However, Liu Yishou is educating them with facts: the potential of human beings is infinite, no matter what time it is, there is no need to belittle yourself!
With the blessing of self-confidence, the repair speed of Dayuling Ancient Road has also increased sharply, and completion is no longer as far away as it used to be.

……

The rumors that the King of Wu showed his might and moved away the rocks blocking the road to repair the ancient Dayuling Road leading to Shaoguan became more and more outrageous and out of shape, and finally became the "jianghu" like Liu Yishou smashing the boulder on the mountain with one punch. "Legend" is actually on Chen Baxian's desk in earnest!
What do you say that this person has a big shoulder and a round waist, can tear tigers and leopards apart, is born with supernatural power, and his voice is like a bell, and the description is vivid.If Chen Ba hadn't met Liu Yishou himself first, and heard how the other party argued sophistry, maybe he would really believe it.

If it was said that Liu Yishou was handsome, Chen Baxian would not doubt it, but it would be an exaggeration to say that Liu Yishou would tear tigers and leopards apart, and it would be nonsense.

Don't say anything else, just look at Liu Yishou's slender arms and legs, maybe he can't even beat a woman with good physical strength.The spies under my command are really poor. They only rely on hearsay to collect information, and they are completely useless.

"Liu Yishou has wolfish ambitions and can't wait to usurp the throne."

Chen Ba first put down the pile of collected information in his hand, and muttered to himself.At this moment, under the darkness, the government office study fell into an eerie silence, and Chen Baxian could hear his own heartbeat.

An unexplained sense of fear filled my heart, as if he was bound hand and foot by Liu Yishou, and then the other party was slowly approaching him with a sharp sword.

Chen Baxian intuitively thought that the opponent would win, and he would definitely kill himself!

The spies he sent out found all "nonsense" that had no practical meaning.However, not all things are meaningless. For example, there is a "gossip" that is very interesting.

There are rumors in Jiankang that when Liu Yishou was in Luoyang, he hid in a temple because of the war. There was a well in that temple, and there was a big golden carp in the well. He could speak words, and even his words were very wise. .

Liu Yishou feeds this carp every day, and often chats with it, which is quite rewarding.

Later, Er Zhurong entered Luoyang to loot wantonly, and one day after the rebels broke into the temple, they wanted to fish out the fish and eat it.

Liu Yishou tried his best to protect the carp, but was beaten by the rebels.At this moment, the carp in the well suddenly turned into a golden dragon. The dragon swung its tail, knocked out the soldiers, and finally got into Liu Yishou's body and disappeared!
And then there was nothing. Then, the story stopped here.

Chen Baxian was almost certain that in this story, except for the big golden carp that could speak out people's words and turn into a golden dragon, most of the others were true.

But Liu Yishou must have understood what it meant to be released by Liu Yishou on purpose, and Chen Baxian himself also understood, isn't it just to create momentum for enthronement and usurpation?
Chen Baxian believes that there should be many similar stories circulating around Jiankang, and there are even similar stories in various places in Liang State, which are spread by word of mouth under the promotion of caring people!

There's nothing new under the sun these days!

It was obvious that Liu Yishou wanted to usurp the throne himself, but now the other party is blatantly going south to Guangzhou under the banner of "countering the rebellion" to destroy him!Chen Baxian felt that in this world, whoever had the bigger fist would keep his word.

Right and wrong are about strength, justice is not in people's hearts!If you have no strength, no one will listen to what you have to say.

"Now that I'm in prison, how can I solve the situation? How can I solve the situation?"

Chen Baxian slammed his fist on the table, his eyes were red with anger!

The boulder on Dayu Ridge was dropped by Liu Yishou, it must be because the other party has the means to destroy the boulder!With this thing as a backup, it means that no city in the Guangzhou area can be defended!Including the hometown of Panyu City!
In this regard, Chen Baxian has already discovered the opponent's means from some clues.

"A man should carry the seven-foot sword to run across the world. How can he be trapped here and die in depression?"

A light flashed in Chen Baxian's mind, and then the light became more and more blooming, completely filling his mind!
I can't fight, can't I still run?

There is a ferry outside the city of Panyu. Can't I take a sea boat to go to sea?
Once this idea popped up, it was completely impossible to suppress it!
Chen Baxian sighed softly, trying to calm down his feverish mind.

In all fairness, the anti-insurgency army at the Jiankang Center is coming in a menacing way, and Liu Yishou is in charge of it himself, so it is really difficult to deal with it, or in all likelihood, it will fail.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it will undoubtedly fail.

but!

Chen Baxian felt that he should still have a chance in life. He shouldn't have lived in Panyu at such a young age, beheaded for treason, and his whole family died. He shouldn't have lived like this!

"How about fleeing to the north? Or continue south?"

Chen Baxian fell into deep thought.

Continuing to the south, not to mention the lack of contacts, one must pass through the territory under Madam Xian's jurisdiction.It is really too difficult to get out of the body, it is almost an impossible task.

Then take a sea boat to go north, all the way north, disembark at the port of Hebei, and go to Wei, it seems to be an option!Even if the luck at sea is better and the ship does not capsize, even this line is safer!The chance of being intercepted on the way is also relatively small!

Of course, the disadvantage is the same, that is, in the north, I don't have any cronies, and I am afraid that life will not be too easy if I live under the fence!

Maybe he will live to the end of his life and never be able to make his mark... But no matter what, it is much better than being beheaded by Liu Yishou right away!

After all, Liu Yishou opened up Dayuling, so it was only a matter of time before he went south to Guangzhou.As long as the logistics are smooth, Shaoguan will not be able to hold back the central counter-insurgency army. Chen Baxian, as a veteran general, knows this very well.

If Shaoguan can't defend it, Guangzhou, which has no danger to defend, can't defend it either.

"Ahead, where is the road to go, which road is better?"

Chen Ba stood up first, paced in the study, hesitating for a while.

"Come here."

Chen Baxian yelled outside the study door.

"Take my token and go to Shaoguan, let Chen Qian quickly return to Panyu City, and come to the government office to see me without delay."

Chen Ba first tied the jade pendant around his waist and handed it to the soldiers and said.

……

The envoy sent by Gao Huan went to Rouran, and when he came back, he brought a reply from the master of Rouran: Don't think about your crooked thoughts, but the marriage continues, and quickly send another person to draw up the marriage plan program!

After waiting for more than a month, Gao Huan has the heart to kill Anahu at this moment, after waiting for such news!

He dismissed Taichang Qing Xing Shao, and called Duan Shao, Gao Yang, Tang Yong and others to the study of the Fangcheng government office in Anzhou to discuss important matters.This time, I originally wanted to hit Rouran with a sap, and then take advantage of this wind to turn the spearhead and kill Kumoxi and Khitan's prestige.

Unexpectedly, Anahu, who has a keen intuition, won't fall for it at all!

To put it bluntly, Anahu also has different ideas in different periods. Last year, he broke the high-speed cars in the north, causing heavy losses to the high-speed cars that had just recovered some vitality. prestige.

Now that Anahu is full of ambition, it is only human nature not to want to listen to Gao Huan's manipulation, and it may not be that he really senses something wrong.

"King Gao, if we forcefully marry Rouran now, it will be easy for Master Rouran to see that we were trying to cheat. It is better to use the plan and put the marriage on hold. Since the conspiracy fails, it is better to use Yangmou and send troops with Rouran to Kumo Xi and Khitan, then play it by ear.

Let Tai Changqing go to Rouran again to discuss the joint dispatch of troops!

Externally, the marriage can be announced to continue.If Rouran agreed to send troops together, they would definitely not take the initiative to declare that the marriage is invalid. "

Tang Yong cupped his hands and said to Gao Huan.

If you can't steal chickens, you can beat rabbits, but you can't go back empty-handed with an army.

Gao Huan exchanged glances with Duan Shao and the others, and they all praised Tang Yong's strategy.

"Father, why don't you send someone to Kumoxi and Khitan at the same time to talk about the joint attack on Rouran, we will make two preparations."

Gao Yang suddenly said something indifferent, which attracted everyone's attention.

This kind of operation... so familiar!
Everyone remembered how the Northern Wei Dynasty played with Rouran and Gao Che. Gao Yang's strategy was the same, even more shameless.

Kumoxi and Khitan are currently the biggest threat to Rouran.Once this side joins forces with the Gaoche people in the north, I'm afraid Rouran will die without knowing how she will die.

In fact, in the history of Liu Yishou's previous life, Rouran was attacked and killed by the rising Turks in the west and the Gaoche people in the north who had been eyeing but no one to take the lead!
If Anahu, the lord of Rouran, refuses to marry Gao Huan this time, and refuses to send troops to deal with Kumoxi and the Khitans, then joining hands with the latter to deal with Rouran seems to be an option.

After all, Kumoxi and Khitan are still relatively weak at present, even if Rouran is defeated, it will only be a new Rouran.In fact, among the two, the former has been fragmented, and the latter only emerged after 200 years.

Compared with the threat of the high car people, it is really not worth mentioning for the time being.

Gao Huan sent two groups of people to talk with Rouran, Kumoxi and Khitan at the same time. No matter which way they negotiate, they will make money. That's enough, wait until they finish fighting before going up to pick up the corpses!
Gao Huan glanced at Gao Yang in surprise, and realized again that he seemed to have underestimated the new prince.In the first ten years of Gao Yang's life, he was almost synonymous with being low-key and forbearing. Now that Gao Cheng is gone, it seems that Gao Yang does not intend to continue to pretend, and has begun to show his sharpness.

"Who can go to Kumoxi and Khitan? Time is not a problem. In order to get it done once and for all, our army can wait here."

Gao Huan asked in a deep voice.

As long as the grassland problem is solved, you can free up your hands to deal with other opponents, which is crucial to the development of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.It's useless to shout slogans and fight chicken blood. The key is to solve the problem.

To solve the problem, we need specific means and specific operations, rather than talking about it in general or even rhetoric.

"The reputation of this subordinate is not obvious. If Kumoxi and Khitan are sent as envoys, the other party will definitely not take precautions. This subordinate is willing to share the worries for King Gao."

Tang Yong stood up and cupped his hands and said.

In fact, if Tang Yong didn't say anything, Gao Yang didn't say anything, Gao Huan was going to send Duan Shao directly to attack Ku Moxi and see if he could climb the mountain to fight the Khitan people by surprise.

The current situation is stalemate, as if people can't breathe, they are about to suffocate, and their lungs are like fire.

We can't go on like this anymore, we must have countermeasures.

"That's fine."

Gao Huan nodded slightly and stopped Gao Yang who was about to refuse with his eyes.
