"He doesn't dare?"
Ye Hongxue was a little confused by Zhao Kang's words.
Zhao Kang nodded confidently and explained with a smile, "Prince Ning will not act rashly unless he is absolutely sure about something. For ordinary people, there is only a six-digit chance of success, which is worth fighting for." Fight."
"But for him, he has to be 90% sure before he can give it a try. Kill me? He does have the ability, but he doesn't dare to gamble."
Ye Hongxue understood and couldn't help but sigh, "This person is really too cautious."
Zhao Kang smiled and said, "After all, he wanted to rebel before. This kind of thing with his head in his waistband cannot be guaranteed, otherwise he will die. What I am thinking now is, apart from these alien barbarians we see now, Does he have any backup plan?"
"You mean..." Ye Hongxue was shocked.
"Qi State and Zhou State." Zhao Kang gave the answer.
Xiao Feiyu's ultimate goal is himself, but now he lets these foreign barbarians attack Jingguo.
Its purpose is self-evident, it is to hold back Emperor Jing Wu Rulong. ??
Without Wu Rulong, he basically has no rivals in the world today, so he can concentrate on dealing with Qian Guo.
But even though he was on guard, Xiao Feiyu's strength alone was still weak.
So he still needs an ally. Who else can help him besides Zhou and Qi?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kang couldn't help but show a hint of worry.
He had previously written two secret letters asking Ye Hongxue to find someone to send to Qian Country. The contents were to tell Her Majesty the Empress and others that Xiao Feiyu was back.
Ask Her Majesty the Empress to take Yufeng and the others to the military camp to take shelter, and beware of Zhou and Qi sending troops.
Even Xiao Feiyu couldn't break in under the tight guard of tens of thousands of troops.
But it's not necessarily the case in the palace.
Zhao
Kang sighed deeply in his heart, his own cultivation level was still not enough. Facing a strong man like Xiao Feiyu at the fourth level, he could only be a piece of cake.
If you are also a second-grade strong man, why do you need to do this? Just have a real man 11 battle with him, Prince Ning.
But this time, now that the opponent is determined to be you!
There is a flash of coldness in his eyes, so don't even think about escaping this time!
Making a decision in his heart, Zhao Kang began to think about how to deal with the current Jin soldiers.
The next day.
When the sky was slightly bright, the enemy troops outside Xiantian Pass launched an aggressive attack. The number was not large, only about 10,000 people were attacking the city.
They used equipment such as engineering chariots. Xu Ning, who was watching the battle at the top of the city, had a feeling that these guys didn't look like they were attacking the city.
Instead, it was more like training soldiers.
It makes people feel quite uneasy.
Chen Maokai, the vanguard of the left army, received the report from his subordinates and quickly came to his side: "Commander, the National Master and Mr. Ye are here."
When Xu Ning heard this, he quickly turned around and saw Zhao Kang and two others ascending to the top of the city.
"National Division."
Zhao Kang smiled and nodded, "Mr. Xu."
"What does the Imperial Master think of the current situation?" Xu Ning hesitated before speaking.
He really didn't have any good way to face the Jin people this time.
In a face-to-face fight, the opponent's cavalry was far more powerful than them, so retreating into the Turtle Gorge and Tianguan was never an option.
Moreover, the opponent has now divided its forces to attack other states, and the troops in those places cannot withstand this group of enemy troops that are like wolves and tigers.
Must figure it out as soon as possible
One way to hold all the enemy troops in check!
Zhao Kang smiled and said, "There is no good solution."
Hearing this, Xu Ning smiled bitterly, but heard Zhao Kang continue: "However, this gunpowder was made by someone below. How could the enemy use it to beat us?"
Xu Ning was stunned: "Master, what do you mean?"
"We also have gunpowder."
Zhao Kang grinned. Ye Hongxue looked at him with tender eyes, and then said to Xu Ning, "Xu Shuai, yesterday Zhao Kang asked me to send a secret message to His Majesty, and asked the craftsmen of the Imperial City's Ministry of Industry to start making gunpowder."
Xu Ning was overjoyed, but then asked doubtfully, "But is it too late?"
"Of course I can."
Ye Hongxue said softly, "Zhao Kang once asked His Majesty to stock up a large amount of raw materials for gunpowder when he was in Jingguo, which is the yellow powder, charcoal and fire salt. But at the time, we didn't know that these three materials were used to make gunpowder.
.”
Xu Ning looked at Zhao Kang dumbfounded. When Zhao Kang was a national counselor in Jingguo, he asked Wu Rulong to buy these three things and store them.
Naturally, Wu Rulong would not refuse Zhao Kang's request, and even asked Zhao Kang what it was used for.
But Zhao Kang didn't say it clearly, he only said that it might be needed in the future, so as to take precautions before it happens.
At that time, the Minister of Household Affairs was quite critical, saying how much money he spent on buying these three things.
Unexpectedly, these three things are actually used to make gunpowder!
"National Master, did you expect this before?" Chen Maokai's face was filled with surprise.
Zhao Kang rolled his eyes, "I'm not a god, so I can predict the future. At that time, I just thought that if Jingguo encountered a strong enemy in the future, it would be convenient to make gunpowder with the raw materials."
"match
Fang has already sent out the secret message, and I think it won't take long for a large amount of gunpowder to arrive."
Holding on to the wall and looking at the enemy troops attacking the city outside, Zhao Kang sneered, "Wouldn't it be a waste to use such a good thing to blow up the city gate? I will teach you how to use it to kill people!"
The people of the Jin Kingdom did not know that they were about to face a disaster. Helianwei, the general of the vanguard army, continued to use Xiatianguan as a whetstone.
Used to train infantry in siege tactics.
Wu Rulong was overjoyed after receiving the secret letter and the gunpowder formula. He stroked his beard and smiled broadly, "What a Zhao Kang!"
"What happened to your father?" Wu Guanhai asked curiously.
The other ministers also craned their necks and looked over. There was no great victory on the front line. Why is Your Majesty as happy as if he had eaten bee dung?
Wu Rulong was delighted, "The national master gave us the formula of gunpowder and the raw materials for making gunpowder. He had prepared it for us when he was in Jingguo, Sun Wen!"
The Minister of Industry came out immediately.
Wu Rulong smiled and said, "Order your Ministry of Industry to make gunpowder as quickly as possible. After success, all the gunpowder will be sent to Xiatian Pass! It's time to let these barbarians have a taste of the power of this thing!"
"I obey!"
Half a month later.
With the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry working hard day and night to make it, a full 50,000 kilograms of gunpowder was packaged and sent to Xiantianguan.
Xu Ning, who had been huddled in Xiatian Pass these days, was overjoyed and immediately found Zhao Kang.
"National Master! The gunpowder has been delivered, what are we going to do with those bastards outside!"
This period of time made Xu Ning extremely frustrated.
Zhao Kang smiled slightly: "Mr. Xu, let's check this batch of gunpowder first. Then I will teach you how to use it."
