“Look at the pictures and speak”

Author: Dongfanghong is undefeated

"Look at the pictures and tell the story"

Xue Zhenghao was also eating at this time, thinking about something, and couldn't taste anything he ate.

Chu Qing obviously came to ask him to send troops, but before he could show off, she left! Just left!

Who are you showing off to?

In fact, his troops have been preparing for war at all times, waiting for the Chu family to be almost dead, or for the Voss people to be exhausted again, before sending out troops.

But who would have thought that at the same time that Chu Qing was looking for him, the Voss people would call for gold and withdraw their troops!

Even if Chu Qing didn't beg him or tell him, the people of Vos had withdrawn their troops. In this case, if the Xue family army went again, wouldn't they be embarrassed?

However, the Voss cavalry must have been frightened by the explosions and temporarily withdrew their troops. They will definitely start fighting again when they recover.

Even if Chu Qing is there by then, she will only bring back thirty people. How effective will it be? In the end, you will have to have me, Xue Jiajun, wipe your butts?

At that time, there was no need for you to beg me clearly. Anyone could see that you had your own way, and I, Xue Zhenghao, could turn the tide.

Linyang County was lost because of you Chu Qing, the people of Linyang died because of you, and finally the lost territory was recovered because of me, the Xue family army. Then, all the faults of the unfavorable defense earlier have been offset.

But who would have thought that this morning, before dawn, the artillery fire started again in Chuqing.

It sounded for a while and then ended. It sounded confusing, but when I sent someone to inquire, I found out that Chu Qing had defeated the people of Vos and fled in all directions, and captured more than 2,000 people!

This is not what I feel in my heart!

He said he was asking for a cup of tea... Xue Zhenghao felt that Chu Qing was a liar!

Really!

One scam a day, never the same!

Now, the battle in Linyang County is basically over.

More than two thousand prisoners of war may not seem like a large number, but over in the north, King Vos has retreated, and the two thousand prisoners of war here in Linyang County means that the war is basically over.

Outside the door, Xue Zhenghao's personal guards were scolding the soldiers who had gone to reconnoiter the Chu family's army: "You idiot, why did you stay there for so long?"

The soldier felt aggrieved: "I can't see clearly what exactly exploded. I already understood what that thing is called a 'heartless cannon'..."

Guard: "Shit! The general asked you to find out the situation of the battle, but he didn't let you see any cannons! It took so long to come back, and it delayed the general's important affairs! You deserve to receive this military stick!"

What good things can be said about you, it’s really...even eating shit can’t keep up with the heat!”

Xue Zhenghao put down his chopsticks.

The food was not tasty to begin with, but this time it was so good that it was distracted by the conversation outside - it was not even hot enough to eat shit!

Irritated!

What can a woman do if she is not content at home and wants to be outside all day long?

Do you think that being an official and earning two cents means you are very capable? That’s really not enough for you!

If you don't compete with others for your job, can others try to exploit you or impeach you?

If you don't go out and play harp, how can you provoke King Vos?

If you don't provoke me, can they capture Linyang County?

You caused all the trouble, but you trapped me in it. Are you happy? Satisfied? Do you think you are better than men?

Even a gentleman would not dare to stand under a dangerous wall. Why are you a stinky woman?

Do what you can!

Xue Zhenghao overturned several cases in front of him, causing a mess, with clattering, clattering, cups, plates, bowls, soup and water.

The mistakes are everyone else’s.*

*******************

Xu Nianping had eaten and drank. He was very tired at first, but now he had nothing to do. He could catch up on some sleep, but his brain was still busy.

I have to finish the report to the emperor first, mainly to draw the awesome things that Chu Qing created.

Painting requires concentration and calmness, but "Aunt Chu"'s "confidential" words to him at the dinner table made him unable to calm down.

Aunt Chu advised him not to be impetuous, and she was right.

Although Xu Nianping became a loser in the secret guard camp because of a pike, he still had the opportunity to stay with the emperor. Not only did he eat well, but his status improved, and even Eunuch Li, the general manager, would show him dignity.

This also makes him really a little bit arrogant. He speaks straightforwardly and doesn't give people face. He is not as cautious as he is in the secret guard camp.

If Aunt Chu hadn't reminded me today, I might have offended someone in the future, or simply offended the emperor without even realizing it, and then disaster would have been imminent.

Aunt Chu is really a good person, and no one has ever reminded him. This is true care.

However... Aunt Chu's words don't seem to be completely right.

Isn't it right for Xue Zhenghao to provide armor? As Aunt Chu is the vanguard of this battle, shouldn't she provide it? Why should we accept his favor?

General Mada in the north gave me three thousand sets! If you still can't say enough, I'll give you more. This is a positive attitude.

Also, Aunt Chu said that a soldier’s bounden duty is to obey orders. This seems to be true, but what if the superior officer deliberately refuses to give orders?

Xu Nianping thought that when he accompanied Chu Qing to visit the wounded, he heard the wounded talking outside the door: General Xue had never received the man named Bai Jiaxing, but he had gone to see him many times.

They knew that they were not regular soldiers, so they actively asked to see General Xue, hoping that General Xue would assign tasks. But what did Xue Zhenghao do?

You just don’t take people seriously!

Xu Nianping scrapped the memorial he had written before, spread out the paper and wrote it again.

This time I want to write more comprehensively. I can't just write about the scenes on the battlefield, but also the causes and consequences, the comparison between the northern and southern borders, the civilian identities of the casualties, these civilian heroes, and Qingqing's grief for them...

*************

Three days later, the palace, the royal study.

The emperor was "looking at the picture and talking": "Oh... this thing... looks like a big firecracker, but how come it is lit at both ends?

If you don’t mark it, do you want people to understand it or not?”

There is a thick pile of letter paper at hand, with words all over it, but I don’t read it.

Compared with text, maybe pictures are more intuitive and save trouble; or maybe the emperor read memorials every day and was tired of reading all the text.

Anyway, at this moment, the emperor would rather hold the single-line drawing and rack his brains to guess, than look for explanations in the pile of words.

"Inspector Xu's drawings are indeed not as clear as Master Chu's drawings." Eunuch Li helped to search for the caption corresponding to the picture the emperor was looking at.

Xu Nianping's pictures are the same as others, they look simple and direct.

"Heartless Cannon" is drawn from a side view, not at a 45-degree angle, but at a 90-degree angle, from the front.

There is a pipe on the top, a pulley on the bottom, and several hollow helmet shapes next to the pulley, which can be regarded as explosive packets.

In order to indicate that the cannon is firing, a line like a cotton ball is drawn on the muzzle, and a short line is drawn above the tail of the tube. Above the short line, several short and sharp lines represent sparks.

Four words in the lower right corner of the drawing paper: Heartless gun.

All in all, children's simple drawings.

"Found it!" Eunuch Li took out a page from the pile of letter paper: "It says here, put the ignition powder at the tail, light the fuse, the ignition powder will burn, and then the cannonball will be sprayed out.

!”

After telling the emperor, Eunuch Li became confused at first: "Isn't this just a double cannon and a double kick?"

After thinking about it, he realized it was wrong: "That's not right either. When the gunpowder is fired, it will go up to the sky with two kicks. How can he just spray out the cannonball without the barrel of the cannon going up to the sky?"

Eunuch Li said he was confused, so he just started studying by himself with words in one hand and pictures in the other. After studying for a while, he felt tired of standing, so he simply squatted on the ground.

emperor:"……"

Why didn't I realize that this guy had the potential to be a craftsman before?
