That general Yu Wenlang sat on his horse, glanced at the soldiers arrogantly, and shouted sharply: "Little ones, cheer up, and transport the grain and grass to Hongnong within three days. If there is any delay , be careful of your dog head!"

There was an uproar in the team, and someone yelled: "The general came to deliver the order just now, and it is clear that we should ship it within five days, how could it come in three days..."

Before he finished speaking, that Yu Wenlang had already pulled off the whip in his hand: "I tell you to talk back!"

The soldier who was whipped had two bloody welts on his face in a blink of an eye. He looked extremely ferocious, but the others didn't dare to say a word, and fell silent for a while.

Liu Ziqiu looked at Yu Wenlang's arrogant face, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the guy who chased him in Luoyang Xishan and ordered to release the arrow?

At that time Liu Ziqiu didn't know his name, but he was one level higher than Qin Shubao, so he should be a brigade commander.Unexpectedly, in just a few months, this guy climbed from the brigade commander to the position of Huben General, and the speed of his promotion was like a rocket.

Liu Ziqiu remembered correctly, the new man who will succeed Han Shi'er will be Yu Wenjing.Yu Wenshu gained more and more trust from Yang Guang, and with little effort, he won the position vacated by Han Shi'er.But the Yuwen family couldn't find a few people who could lead troops, so they took advantage of Yu Wenjing, the brigade commander in the Youxiaowei army.

I only heard Liu Yu say: "Liu Ziqiu, don't be in a daze, let's go."

Even though he changed generals, Liu Yu's attitude towards Liu Ziqiu remained unchanged, because he could tell that Liu Ziqiu would never just be a big soldier for the rest of his life.

Liu Ziqiu was taken aback, and said: "Marshal Lu, we don't need to be in such a hurry. From here to Hongnong, three days should be enough."

With Yu Wenjing here, Liu Ziqiu didn't dare to call him General Liu Yu anymore.

Liu Yu didn't care about this at this time, shook his head, and said: "You don't know, the roads in the suburbs of Beijing are cleared of snow, so it is naturally smooth. But after this section, it is ice and snow, and our carriages and horses are heavy. Go fast."

Lai Nuer ordered them to rush to Hongnong in five days, and he had already considered these situations.But Yu Wenjing took office as a new official and was eager to perform in front of Yang Guang, so he didn't care so much.

Over there, Hua Yun, Gui Haiqiu and the others had already begun to drive the grain carts onto the main road.Most of the animals pulling the carts were donkeys, mules, and cows, and there were also a few rough horses. They couldn't run fast anyway, and it would be even more troublesome if they got stuck in the snow.In order not to waste time, I can only "fly the stupid bird first".

Liu Ziqiu glanced at Yu Wenjing who had already turned away leisurely, frowned and said, "Marshal Lu, I have a solution."

Liu Yu cheered up, and quickly asked, "What can I do?"

Liu Ziqiu said, "Just remove the wheels."

Liu Yu was startled and said, "Are you crazy? Take off the wheels, how can you carry so much food and grass?"

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Commander Lu, I didn't make it clear. You only need to remove the wheels when you encounter snow, so you can walk faster than on flat ground."

Liu Yu asked suspiciously: "Your method can be effective? Why have I never heard of it?"

Liu Ziqiu said with certainty: "It's absolutely effective, I tried it. In this way, the cart becomes a snow sledge, which can be pulled by a few dogs, not to mention mules and horses."

At this time, shouting and whipping could be heard on the official road, and the convoy drove slowly westward.Full of doubts, Liu Yu rode his horse and chased after him.

At noon the next day, there was a vast expanse of snow in front of us, and rows of hoof prints, footprints, and ruts were clearly visible, which were left by the army and convoy that had just passed by.Not far away, a cart was stuck in the snow. More than a dozen soldiers were chanting, pushing forward and backward, but the cart remained motionless.

Liu Yu pointed to that side and said, "This is exactly what I'm worried about."

Liu Ziqiu patted his chest and said, "Marshal Lu, try my method. If it doesn't work, I'm willing to lead the army!"

Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Try with your three big cars first."

Liu Ziqiu got the order and immediately asked Hua Yun and Gui Haiqiu to drive the cart off the official road.Hua Yun and the others were somewhat puzzled by the way of removing the wheel, but out of trust in Liu Ziqiu, no one said anything, and if it was a big deal, just put it back on.

Soon, an ox pulling a snow sled appeared on the snow field.The whip was lightly waved, and the old ox pulling the cart spread its hooves and galloped in the snow. It looked much lighter, and soon caught up with and surpassed the rest of the group.

Facts speak louder than words, with this demonstration, Liu Yu no longer doubted, and ordered all sixty carts of the regiment to be driven off the official road, removed the wheels according to the method taught by Liu Ziqiu, and converted them into snow sledges.

As a result, a strange landscape appeared in the wilderness.On the official road covered by thick snow, a large number of vehicles transporting grain, grass and luggage trudged hard.But in the field next to the official road, dozens of carts without wheels were speeding past.

In the evening, Liu Yu found that they had left the other teams far behind.But it was not without cost. Many carts were damaged, and two carts almost fell apart.Fortunately, there were many big trees around, Liu Yu sent people to cut down some, and went back overnight for renovation.In this way, on the afternoon of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Liu Yu's team arrived in Hongnong County ahead of schedule, faster than many infantry teams.

At this time, Yang Guang's car had just arrived.Seeing that there was a grain truck that could go so fast, he couldn't help being suspicious, and said, "Yu Wen Zhiji, go and ask, which guard they belong to, and how can they come so fast?"

Every time Yang Guang goes out to battle, he is surrounded by a cloud of retinues, and craftsmen are even more indispensable. The master craftsman Yu Wenkai and the young craftsman Yu Wenzhi are among them.With Yang Guang's cleverness, he naturally thought that the fact that this team of grain trucks came so fast was obviously related to their transportation method.Therefore, this task fell to Yuwen Zhiji.Although Yu Wenzhiji is a young craftsman, he actually knows nothing about the production of various buildings and vehicles, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over.

The soldiers had just repaired the damaged carts and were setting up camp when they saw Liu Yu walking over with some gorgeously dressed officials and asked, "Where is Liu Ziqiu?"

Liu Ziqiu hurried over and asked, "Marshal Lu, are you looking for me?"

Liu Yu winked at the back, and said, "Tell Master Yuwen about your sledge."

Liu Ziqiu looked at Lord Yuwen with a slick face. Although he was wearing an official uniform, he was out of shape. He frowned and said, "Why is Lord Yuwen interested in this thing?"

Yu Wenzhi gave a cold snort, and said, "If the emperor wasn't interested, I wouldn't bother to ask you."

Liu Ziqiu knew that Yang Guang liked all kinds of strange and ingenious things, and it was very possible that he was interested in sledges. Maybe he would be rewarded when he was in a good mood.But Liu Ziqiu had a face-to-face meeting with Yang Guang in Qiyin Courtyard. Although he covered his face at that time, he couldn't hide his figure.Yang Guang was also suspicious by nature, and when he saw him, he couldn't help being suspicious.

Thinking of this, Liu Ziqiu's heart suddenly moved, and he said, "Brother Hua, tell this lord quickly, what is a sledge?"

Hua Yun was also very interested in new gadgets like the sledge, and pestered Liu Ziqiu to ask non-stop along the way, and he already understood the principle.It's just that Liu Ziqiu didn't say it himself, but asked him to explain. Hua Yun couldn't help being a little stunned, opened her mouth and said "ah", but couldn't speak.

Liu Yu was also surprised and said, "Liu Ziqiu, didn't you tell me about this?"

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Commander Lu, it's not that you don't know that the villain is from Jiangnan. It doesn't snow a few times in that place all year round, how could the villain think of such a thing. Brother Hua accidentally mentioned it , the villain remembers this in his heart."

Liu Yu thought about it, Liu Ziqiu's words also made sense, Hua Yun is a native of Henan, the snow here is much heavier than that in the south of the Yangtze River, and the snow accumulation lasts for several months, it is more likely that he came up with this method.

But Hua Yun knew that what Liu Ziqiu said was not the truth, but she didn't understand why he said that, so he hesitated: "Second Brother..."

Liu Ziqiu didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Brother Hua, listen to the second brother, tell Master Yuwen carefully, the second brother will not harm you."

Yuwen Zhiji became impatient and urged repeatedly: "Okay, okay, don't talk too much, what's going on, tell me quickly, the emperor is still waiting."

With Liu Ziqiu's repeated encouragement, Hua Yun finally plucked up the courage to talk about it. From the principle of the sledge to how to operate it, he talked a lot. Of course, he must explain the shortcomings, that is, the cart is too easy to damage.

Yu Wenzhi was ignorant and ignorant, so he heard cloudy mountains and mist, but he didn't understand why.But if he went back and told Yang Guang that it would be light to be scolded, he might be degraded as a commoner again.However, Yu Wenzhi had his own way, he coughed dryly twice, and said: "Okay, what you said seems to have some truth. Come with me. When we meet the emperor, I have to speak clearly."

This is just Yu Wenzhi's own opinion, but Hua Yun was very excited. His father had been a soldier for decades, and he had never seen what the emperor looked like. Now he had the opportunity to see the emperor with his own eyes.

Liu Yu also served as a soldier for more than ten years, and became a brigade commander, but he had never met the emperor, from Yang Jian to Yang Guang.He couldn't help feeling sorry for Liu Ziqiu, that such a good opportunity was given to Hua Yun, a young man.

Liu Ziqiu was startled into a cold sweat, secretly rejoicing.If he hadn't been quick to see the opportunity, he would be the one who went to meet Yang Guang now.In case Yang Guang sees some clues, it is absolutely impossible to escape amidst thousands of troops.

At this time, Yang Guang's big tent had already been erected, surrounded by heavy guards, without Yu Wen Zhiji's leadership, Hua Yun would not be able to get close at all.Hua Yun was apprehensive, and followed Yu Wenzhi with her head down.Suddenly, a general holding an iron gun stopped in front of him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Without His Majesty's will, idlers are not allowed to move forward!"

Yu Wenzhi was about to explode, saw the face of the general, hurriedly changed his smile, and said: "I am here to report to the general, this official is ordered by the emperor..."

Lai Hu'er waved his hand and said, "You can go in, but he can't!"
