"Great Khan," Shaharul suddenly stepped forward and said, "Are you going to adopt Salha's strategy?"
"Yes, and no." Timur said with a smile: "Even if these fierce dogs are allowed to fight against the Ming army's sentries, it will only make the Ming army strengthen their defenses. If they want to sneak attack on them, especially the Ming army's cavalry camp, it will not be very easy."
easy."
"But this is still an opportunity, especially after the emperor of the Ming Dynasty came here. I thought that when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty arrived here, he would bring bad news to our army, but then I looked at the history of the Khitan people,
I have discovered that there is also news that is beneficial to our army."
What Timur said was unclear. Shaharul was about to ask again, but Timur stopped talking to him. Instead, he raised his head and ordered all the generals: "You must train yourselves more intensively in the past few days."
Army, await my orders."

"Your Majesty, based on my observations during this period and the previous records of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties and His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I believe that there will be heavy rain for three to five consecutive days in the next few days." Sichengtang stood in front of Yunxi and said with a bow.
"Is it raining in this season?" Yunxi asked in confusion. It was not that he doubted Sichengtang's words, but in his impression, it should not rain in summer in this place in the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty, I have looked through the records of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty for more than thirty years, and there are records of rain during this season." Sichengtang thought that Yunxi doubted his words, so he hurriedly said.
"My dear, you have misunderstood me. I am not doubting your words." Yunxi said hurriedly.
"How many days will it rain?" he continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, it's hard to be sure. But according to the practice in previous years, it must rain for three to five days in a row. Some days the rain is heavier, and some days the rain is lighter." Sichengtang replied.
"I understand. You can go down." Yunxi thought for a while and then said. Sichengtang bowed and left.
"Qingshu, go and tell Xu Huizu to prepare for rain and lightning. By the way, call the abbot Fang Zheng of Shaolin Temple and his junior brother Fang Sheng, the abbot of Yiwu Qianfo Temple." Yunxi raised his head and said to the guard Song Qingshu.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Qingshu bowed in agreement, turned around and left.
Not long after, Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng walked into the tent and bowed and saluted: "The poor monk Fang Zheng (Fang Sheng) has met your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
"Two masters." Yunxi said with a smile: "How are you, masters, in the military camp these days?" After Yunxi came to the army, he asked Fang Zheng and other monks to live in the military camp on the pretext of holding a ritual ceremony for the fallen soldiers.
Xu Huizu was reluctant, but ordinary soldiers were very willing to be buried by monks immediately after their death, so they had no objection.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. No one is neglecting the poor monk and junior brother. It's just that many items for the ceremony are about to be used up, so the poor monk is about to send someone back to Yiwu City to get them." Fang Zheng said.
"It just so happens that I have something to tell you, so let's do it together. Master Fangzheng, return to Yiwu City in person, find a craftsman to build an iron cage, and then make a wooden pole. Mount an iron tip on the top of the pole, and then use a
A thin iron chain was led down the pole and connected to the iron cage." Yunxi said.
"Your Majesty, how does this iron cage look like?" Fang Zheng was of course curious about what was needed to build such an iron cage, but he always agreed to the emperor's orders first and asked why later.
"It looks like this." Yunxi took out a piece of paper with an iron cage drawn on it and showed it to him.
"Your Majesty, such an iron cage consumes a lot of iron. There may not be so much iron in Qianfo Temple." Fang Sheng said after looking at it.
"Try your best to search in Yiwu City. If it doesn't work, ask Shang Bing and ask him to allocate some to you."
Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, what is the reason for building such an iron cage?"
Yunxi smiled and said: "Of course it is useful, but I can't tell you now. Because this use is too unusual, I can't come forward, and I can't instruct my guards or servants to come forward. You can only do it yourself.
.You must not tell others that I ordered you to build such an iron cage."
Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng bowed down to accept the order. After asking a few more detailed questions, they were about to leave.
