Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 607 Close your eyes and observe the situation
The cannon is not a cannon, but a trebuchet.

What Chen Zhi asked Gongshuhua and Meng Li to do was the trebuchet used for city defense and field battles. From the drawing to the construction, Chen Zhi made everything, and then let Gongshuhua and Meng Li do the actual manufacturing. Perfected little by little.

"Very good. Since you said that, you must be confident," Chen Zhi nodded and praised the two of them.

On the contrary, Gong Shuhua said a little uneasy: "Prefect, you still have to go and inspect it yourself. After all, this matter involves military struggles, and it is not a trivial matter. If one accidentally makes a mistake, then the two of us will Guilt is nothing, but it would be bad if we miss something important and affect the peace of Dai County."

Meng Li also nodded quickly and couldn't help but help.

Chen Zhi also nodded when he heard the words. He knew that in order to gather the fame and gold liquid, he let news spread in the city. The two people in front of him had obviously heard about it, and they were worried about the safety of Daijun and Daixian.

Chen Zhi said: "Don't worry, I also know the importance of this matter, so I will arrange it for you, because you are the people I trust. When the time comes, I will investigate them one by one and will not let you take responsibility. You have already Did your duty.”

"That's not what we meant..." Hearing this, Gongshuhua and the two wanted to explain, but Chen Zhi waved his hand to stop them.

"This configuration can be regarded as a test for the two of you." Chen Zhi restrained his smile, and said earnestly: "To build these cannon mounts, it is not enough to rely solely on the skills of the two of you, and it is also necessary to deploy manpower." With experience, I think if anything similar happens in the future, I will be familiar with it."

The two became humble again and again, saying that there were still shortcomings, and Meng Li said again: "Mr. Ma Shou has also given us a lot of help this time. Although we can't ask for advice directly, I have learned a lot from him recently. He A single sentence can often make the two of us suddenly understand."

"Yes, Mr. Ma still has some skills. This opportunity is rare. You should ask for more advice."

After saying a few more words, Chen Zhi agreed on a time with the two of them and went over to check the acceptance in person. After that, he sent the two of them away, then sat on his seat and closed his eyes. At first glance, it seemed that he was closing his eyes to rest. In fact, However, there are several zodiac origami who are in contact with the outside. Now Chen Zhi has sent out a lot of origami, and they belong to several different forces and camps. Most of them are related to himself. Taken together, he can make He sees the whole situation and has a perspective that is difficult for others to reach.

"Now that the turmoil in the northern grassland has come to an end, Murong's tribe seems to be determined to fulfill its agreement with me, so it sends a troop of troops over. The leader is still Murong Han, who was very successful in the battle of Thorny City. His reputation has become so great that he is already known as Murong's famous general. Even in the history of later generations, he is also a figure who has left a name. His status is not low, which shows the sincerity of Murong's department. But after all, they have experienced great battles. , it is still damaged, and it is necessary to take the opportunity to receive the fruits of victory and suppress other tribes, so this cavalry of about 2000 people is almost the limit."

"Wang Jun led the troops back. He lost his troops and failed to fulfill his wish. He must be dissatisfied. When he goes back this time, his first priority is to stabilize the power and reduce the impact of this strategic mistake. Then he must deal with the court's problems. I am blamed, but at the same time, I can free up my hands to deal with Daijun and suppress me, but the premise is that I can withstand this attack, but if I use the normal method, I will block this time I will suffer a lot from the offensive, and if I face Wang Jun again, I won’t be able to fight back!"

"On the other hand, the imperial court is not calm either. Zhang Ying proposed the idea of ​​changing the governor, and the whole court is discussing it. However, the king of Jiangdu suddenly wants to leave Jizhou. This is the key, and it may be able to change the situation. , I wonder what he and Zhang Ying have planned privately." After a moment of realization, Chen Zhi opened his eyes again, and what was running in his mind was not the upcoming war, but the situation in the court.

"After the founding of the New Han Dynasty, due to the power of the family, the royal family had to rely heavily on the clan. Not only did they enfeoff princes and princes in various places to stabilize the regions, they also allowed these enfeoffed princes to serve as officials in the court. , if it were in other dynasties, this clan would have a real title and be able to govern in the court, and many of them would be in power. Prime Minister Yin Yang would have long been criticized by people and writing, but in Xinhan it was often seen. , but the disadvantages have not been reduced. There have been many turmoils in the past, and now there seems to be new turmoil. It’s just that the situation outside the Central Plains is different from the past. I don’t know if the imperial court will get away with it. The general trend is Savings.”

After thinking for a while, Chen Zhi summarized the current situation of all parties, and found that for all parties, the current situation may be a rare peaceful time before chaos.

"It's a pity that they were able to calm down, but I can't." After recording the rough analysis on the paper, Chen Zhi started to care about his family affairs. "It's a pity that there are no twelve zodiac origami for the time being in Xianbei. To monitor Wen Yang's movements, we can only rely on spies and detailed reports. There may be discrepancies. We still need to understand this person's temperament and what masterminds are around him in order to predict his movements."

With this thought in mind, Chen Zhi stood up and walked to a map of Daijun. He began to examine it carefully. After thinking about it, he suddenly called Chen Duo and asked him to go to Chenzhuang to buy some medicinal materials.

On the other side, the three members of the Ma family, the two of Gongshu and others got busy after leaving the yamen. As for the Taoist Ge Lu, he seemed much more relaxed. He first wandered the street for a while, then walked into a pharmacy , browsed briefly, and when the shopkeeper came over to greet him, he said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left, he returned directly to where he stayed.

Chen Zhiwei prepared residences for the several celebrities who came with him. As his power in Dai County was consolidated and his status confirmed, the living conditions of his followers also continued to rise. Up to now, Ge Lu has already had a two-in-two-out It's a private courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, someone came out to greet him, but this was the servant who came with him. The Ge family had some followers, so it would not make Ge Lu's life too difficult, but this person learned Taoism from Ge Hong's side and When I was waiting, I had to live and eat alone, and I had long been used to it, so there were not many people brought this time, only five people in front and behind, making this huge courtyard quite deserted.

However, when he entered the courtyard today, he heard someone singing loudly in the courtyard, and then a servant of his own came up to greet him and whispered: "That Taoist Master Li is here and is waiting for Taoist Master in the house. It's just that he looks a little unkind..."

"Li Bunie is here?" Ge Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Just in time, I was about to meet him and asked this fellow Taoist to look after the prefect."
