Chapter 228: Military disaster breaks out

Early morning.

State Guesthouse.

Zheng Yuan looked at a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites opposite, headed by Fang Lin, who came to convey to him, the special envoy of the Zhou Dynasty, the order issued by Xiao Linglong yesterday.

After hearing what Fang Lin said, Zheng Yuan smiled happily: "Hahaha, okay! I didn't expect that your country would have such courage! I will definitely wait until your Majesty the Queen hears what she said!"

"In that case, can you please help yourself, special envoy, or do you want me to send someone to escort you?" Fang Lin sneered.

Zheng Yuan suddenly said in disgust: "No need, our three royal highnesses have all disappeared in your country, and there are not more than one envoy!"

Watching him leave, a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites became furious.

"Too outrageous!"

"They simply don't take us seriously!"

"That's right! We're going to fight him anyway, so let's just let the people from the Ministry of War kill this guy!"

All the officials were furious, and Shang Shufang Lin suddenly shouted angrily: "That's enough! Everyone has left, what's the use of you still making noise here!"

The officials immediately did not dare to say anything, and Fang Lin snorted coldly: "From today on, the Ministry of Rites will make cooperating with the Ministry of War the first priority!"

"Everyone, including me, must obey the orders of the Ministry of War. Regardless of whether this battle can be fought or not, you should cheer up my officer! Do you understand?"

"We will obey!" Everyone responded quickly.

Taishi's residence.

The old master Yang Qianyun sat quietly all night. The butler came in and comforted him: "Master, you should go and rest. You have been sitting all night. Don't go to the morning meeting today."

Mrs. Yang shook her head and looked at the letter on the table with slightly muddy eyes that he had written last night but had never thought about whether to send it or not.

The letter was sent to Youzhou. Now in Qian Kingdom, only Youzhou Prefecture Mu and other officials know the specific location of Zhao Kang and others in Yunshan.

Yang Qianyun wrote this letter when he returned to the mansion yesterday, but he did not dare to send it out.

He and Zhao Kang initially disliked each other, but later their hostility turned into friendship.

Master Yang also knew Zhao Kang's temper, and he would definitely rush back immediately if he received the letter.

But if he comes back, he will fall into the trap of Lin Yu and others.

How can there be an all-rounder in this world?

He also didn't think Zhao Kang could go to the battlefield and lead troops to fight.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Yang suddenly laughed, picked up the envelope and muttered to herself.

"Isn't it the same if I knew it earlier or later? If I send it out, it will at least increase the chance that Jingguo will send troops to help. Your Majesty, I forgive you for being disobedient this time. Old Fang!"

The housekeeper Lao Fang hurriedly responded: "Hey, sir, I'm here."

"This letter was sent to Youzhou as quickly as possible, and told Yu Guanglong, the governor of Youzhou, that it was me who said that the letter should be delivered to the national preceptor Zhao Kang as soon as possible!"

Butler Fang quickly took the envelope and sent someone to deliver the letter.

The people were calm, but the civil and military ministers in the court were already making preparations nervously and working hard.

War is not a game of house, any mistake in any link may directly lead to the outcome of the battle.

Of course, Zhao Kang, who was mining and making steel in the mountains, didn't know all this.

Her Majesty the Empress deliberately did not let him know about this matter, and concentrated on leading the mining and smelting of steel.

Weapons and equipment are being built one after another, and the mining team is currently extremely large.

When Ye Hongxue and the others came, they brought fifteen thousand soldiers to mine, plus the number of people who would be added later.

Now there are more than 30,000 people in the city. The tents are spread out over the mountain, and the division of labor in mining, steelmaking and casting is clear.

Zhao Kang and Ye Hongxue made a round of inspection and were relieved to find nothing wrong.

The only thing that made Zhao Kang unhappy was that there was a light bulb, and he was the kind of boss who followed him behind his butt all day long except when he was eating, sleeping and going to the toilet.

Wu Guanhai, Prince of Jingguo.

When Zhao Kang was on a mission to Jingguo, the prince admired Zhao Kang very much. During this period, Yuanjiang County followed Zhao Kang's instructions and sent products from Yuanjiang County to Jingguo every month.

All kinds of novelty gadgets opened Wu Guanhai's eyes.

What kind of soap, fine salt, white sugar, spinning wheel, etc. made Wu Guanhai feel that Zhao Kang was simply omnipotent.

Immediately I became more respectful.

Now I don’t even call him Imperial Master anymore, I just call him Mr. Zhao.

"Mr. Zhao! I have completed the inspection of the mine. The mining process went smoothly and there is no hidden danger of landslides."

Zhao Kang nodded: "Excuse me, Your Highness, you should be more careful. Although iron mines are safer than coal mines, you should not be careless."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will personally inspect the mine every day."

Wu Guanhai smiled and then asked: "By the way, Mr. Zhao, how is allicin made? The imperial doctor of Jingguo once studied the allicin you gave us, but he couldn't figure it out at all."

Zhao Kang smiled: "This thing cannot be understood simply by talking about it. We also figured it out after countless experiments."

"There is also something called penicillin, which can also be used to reduce inflammation and sterilize. Forget it."

Zhao Kang's tone was a little depressed, thinking of a certain Dr. Lin who was already known as the deadly poisonous doctor in Yuanjiang County.

Ever since this guy made penicillin and made it into a murderous poison, he has been addicted to it and has been out of control ever since.

We no longer study how to cure diseases and save people, but how to make poisons.

At least dozens of chickens and ducks in Yuanjiang County will be poisoned to death by him in a month.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, yes, the poisons developed by Dr. Lin would be perfect for quenching weapons.

We have to find an opportunity to let this kid come over. We can't let him poison the chickens and ducks in Yuanjiang County anymore.

Time passes little by little.

On this day, Wu Guanhai suddenly received a secret letter from Jing Guolai. After reading it, he bid farewell to Zhao Kang and called Ye Hongxue.

Zhao Kang was a little curious and asked: "What happened? Why do you two have to leave?"

You, Wu Guanhai, should go on your own. Don't take me, Dame Ye, with you. What's the point of facing a group of gentlemen all day long?

Zhao Kang regretted not bringing Qin Yufeng with him.

Wu Guanhai did not hide anything: "Mr. Zhao, my father sent someone to send a message saying that there seems to be some strange movement in the armies of Zhou and Qi. He asked us to go back and take precautions. We have no choice but to leave."

"Is there any unusual movement between the armies of Zhou and Qi?"

Zhao Kang's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if something big was about to happen.

At this moment, the Kingdom of Zhou.

Emperor Li Chengkun wears a dragon robe.

"Li Jingyuan!"

"I'm here!"

Li Chengkun: "I appoint you as the vanguard general!"

"I obey!"

"Huo An!"

Li Chengkun then called out another name, and instantly everyone's eyes turned to him.

This is a tall, rough man, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Huo An, God of War of Zhou Kingdom!

After serving in the army for twenty years, he only lost once, and that time was to Xiao Linglong.

Li Chengkun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I know that the defeat two years ago will still be remembered by you! This time I will let you wash away the shame! I will order you to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies and lead the entire army to destroy Qian!"

Huo An knelt on his knees with a solemn expression: "I obey your order!"

On this day, Huo An, the God of War of the Zhou Dynasty, personally led an army of 300,000 men and marched southward with great momentum.
