Several soldiers who looked like tigers and wolves pressed a strong man covered in mud in front of Zhou Bo.
Zhou Bo once again caught up with Chen Xi's deserters and defeated generals, and took a bite of their flesh.
Chen Xi's last few generals also fell into Zhou Bo's hands.
The strong man in front of him was obviously not as courageous as his body. He was so frightened that he was shaking all over. He looked at Zhou Bo in fear and couldn't even speak clearly.
"General, please spare your life! Please... spare your life!"
Faced with such a idiot, Zhou Bo no longer even thought about interrogating him, "Drag him down and behead him."
The strong man was even more frightened and shouted: "General! I know a piece of news! General! I have very important news!" The soldier was about to be dragged out. Zhou Bo just stopped the soldier and let the man
Return to yourself again.
Among all Liu Bang's generals, Zhou Bo was neither tall nor burly. However, among the generals, he was quite majestic and everyone respected him and did not dare to joke with him casually.
"Do you have any important news?"
The strong man said in a panic: "I can say it, but please, General, spare my life."
"Say it."
"The king of Yan, Lu Wan, wants to rebel..."
Before the strong man finished speaking, Zhou Bo laughed disdainfully and looked at the soldiers behind him. The two soldiers rushed forward, grabbed the strong man and dragged him out. The strong man shouted: "I
Never lied! General! It’s true! King Yan personally sent an envoy! The envoy’s name is Zhang Sheng! It’s true~~~”
"Wait a minute!"
Zhou Bo suddenly stopped the two soldiers, walked up to the man in a few steps, grabbed his neck, and pulled him up.
"What did you say? What was the messenger's name?"
"The envoy's name is Zhang Sheng. He came to see the great...Chen Zei, and said personally that the King of Yan would help Chen Zei defect to the Huns, and the two families would reconcile and jointly resist His Majesty... This is what I saw with my own eyes..."
The strong man trembled and recounted what he saw to Zhou Bo.
When Zhou Bo heard this, his expression was complicated and he didn't speak for a while.
He grew up following Liu Bang since he was a child. No one else knew about the relationship between Liu Bang and Lu Wan, but Zhou Bo knew it very well. He was the only one among the generals who had no talent or merit, but he could be crowned king. It was enough to see that
Show the feelings between the two.
Zhou Bo hesitated for a long time, then the deputy general on the side asked: "Do you want to inform your majesty of this news?"
Zhou Bo hesitated for a moment and asked, "When will Marquis Wuyang arrive?"
"The Marquis of Wuyang is personally leading the cavalry and chariots, and they are rushing towards it with all their strength. I am afraid that they will arrive in more than ten days."
"Then let's pull this person down for the time being and keep a close eye on him."
"only!"
.......
"Bang~~~~"
Everyone was no longer as panicked as before, and stared blankly at the thick smoke rising from the mine.
Liu Chang put his hands on his hips and looked at this scene proudly, "How is it? Brother? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"With a few improvements in the future, mining will no longer be difficult!"
"By the way, I also know a way to transport the minerals out of the cave..."
Liu Ying had never doubted Liu Chang at all. He had always felt that Liu Chang could really do it. At this moment, seeing Liu Chang's achievements, Liu Ying just smiled and kept mumbling: "Okay, okay..."
In the evening, Liu Chang looked at the piles of meat in front of him and was a little confused. He looked at Liu Ying beside him and asked, "Why are there so many more meats? Is this mutton?"
Liu Ying smiled and said: "I killed this specially for you. You can eat as much as you want... If you want to eat again in the future, just tell me anytime... You can eat whatever you want..."
Liu Chang looked at Liu Ying with a confused look. It was very windy here, could he have caught a cold?
Liu Ying stretched out her hand, grabbed Liu Chang's hand with both hands, and rubbed it hard, "It's a godsend for my eldest brother and a big man... It's a godsend..."
"Second brother, don't scare me!"
Liu Ying's eyes were a little red with excitement, "Brother, you don't understand... how miserable the people of the world are... That textile machine you made, Shang Fang has built more than 3,000 units all over the world.
We are also working hard to build it and distribute it to the people. You don’t understand how important this is... And the plow, now the whole world must use the plow you made..."
"The people in the world can afford food and clothing, all because of your merits!"
"Now we have made such a sharp tool. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must sharpen his tool first. Once there is iron, there will be food later...Great, great..."
Looking at Liu Ying with red eyes, Liu Chang seemed to understand something. He also laughed and said, "Brother, don't worry, I can make more good things in the future. The miserable life of the people in the world will soon be over."
finished!"
"I really don't know what I should reward you for... When I go back this time, I will personally report it to my father and ask for credit for you..."
"Hey~~", Liu Chang suddenly felt a little unhappy, "What's the reward? I'm not doing this to get rewards... I'm just happy to do it. What I want to do, even if it involves mountains of swords and seas of fire, I can't
Stop me. If I don't want to do it, even if my father kneels down and begs me, it will be useless! I just want to be happy, what reward do I want?"
As he spoke, Liu Chang suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly said: "However, if the second brother can convince my father and make him agree not to hit me again in the future, that's actually okay."
"No more fighting, no more fighting. If anyone hits you in the future, I will hug you and take the hit first!"
Perhaps Liu Ying's words inspired Liu Chang. Starting from the next day, Liu Chang worked even harder. However, everyone in the mine no longer chatted casually with him. They looked at him with fear in their eyes. Some of them looked at him with fear.
People kept kowtowing and calling for gods, which made Liu Chang very disgusted. When encountering such a situation, he left in a hurry.
What Liu Chang tried next was to increase the efficiency of iron-making. At this moment, the Han Dynasty still used shaft furnaces to make iron. It was not much different from the blast furnaces used in later generations. The main structure was slightly different. In addition, there was no one
A very important prop, the hot air stove.
With the current tools, Liu Chang really can't build a hot blast stove. To build a hot blast stove, he needs a better alloy, and if he wants to make a better alloy, he needs a hot blast stove... an endless loop!
However, the hot blast stove can be replaced by a simple blower. As for the structure, Liu Chang still has some impressions.
After staying outside for a long time, Liu Chang still felt homesick. He missed his mother, even though his mother always beat him. He missed Ruyi, even though Ruyi was always angry with him. He also missed Xia Houzao, although
He overturned every time...here, Liu Chang couldn't brag to others. Ever since he got the gunpowder, those people didn't dare to sit next to him. Seeing him was like meeting the god of plague!
He could only find Zhao Huan and brag to him about his deeds in Chang'an.
Zhao Huan knew how to praise even more than Zhou Shengzhi. He asked when he needed to ask, exclaimed when he needed to exclaim, and worshiped when he needed to admire. He was a perfect listener.
Of course, Liu Chang did not relax when it came to practicing swordsmanship. When he had free time, he asked Luan Bu to practice swordsmanship with him. Liu Ying also practiced with him for a few times. Liu Ying's evaluation was the same as Luan Bu's.
: Your swordsmanship is unbenevolent and unlike a gentleman's sword.
Liu Chang, however, dismissed it and asked, "Isn't it good? Why are you being a gentleman?" Luan Bu didn't show how kind and righteous he was when he beheaded him. He was more cruel than himself!
...
When Fan Kuai led his army to catch up with Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo personally stepped forward to greet him.
The relationship between Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai is not bad, maybe not as close as other Peixian generals, but both sides are still very polite.
"Hahaha, I'd like to trouble Jianghou to greet you personally!"
"Please~~"
Zhou Bo politely invited Fan Kuai in and asked him to sit on the seat. Fan Kuai naturally gave in. The two sides gave in to each other for a long time before Zhou Bo sat on the seat and Fan Kuai sat next to him.
Zhou Bo then introduced Fan Kuai to the current war.
"The enemy Chen is gone. As long as you lead a team of light cavalry, we will kill him!"
"Hahaha, how can I compete with Jianghou for the top spot?"
"Between you and me, what's the point of robbing?"
The two chatted happily and agreed on the battle. At this moment, Zhou Bo suddenly said: "A few days ago, I captured a prisoner and he said something. I didn't really believe it. I want to
Please help me analyze it and see if it should be reported to His Majesty."
"no problem!!"
Fan Kuai said loudly with a smile.
Fan Kuai agreed quickly, but when he heard what the prisoner said, he immediately became furious. He rushed forward and kicked the prisoner. The prisoner screamed and flew out, falling to the ground.
Pleading, "What I said is all the truth! It's all the truth! Please spare my life!!"
Fan Kuai clenched his fists, his eyes were red, "Impossible! How could King Yan conspire to rebel? Impossible!"
Zhou Yi stood up and said, "Then this matter..."
"this..."
Fan Kuai hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said, "We have to report to Your Majesty quickly! Maybe there is someone in Yan who wants to rebel and kill King Yan!"
"Okay, just follow what Marquis Wuyang said!"
"No, I will go back in person! I will leave the generals behind and go back by myself! If a minister of the Yan State rebels, I will go out with Xia Houying and attack the Yan State with you!"
