Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 98 Sulfur Saltpeter Charcoal
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was a great opportunity for the rise of local warlords. The court could do nothing to help local affairs, so it was worth allowing them to recruit troops to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits.

In this way, the prefects everywhere became warlords who supported their own self-respect.

If Guo Jia didn't take the opportunity to do something, his status as a time traveler would be in vain.

Zhang Yan is also a hero. It may be true to fish in troubled waters, but he will not obey the orders of Brother Zhang Jiao.

In addition, although Zhang Bao sent troops to Quyang, his purpose was to guard the rear of Julu, and it was impossible to go north easily.

So Guo Jia only needs to repel Zhang Niujiao's army.

But Zhang Niujiao is not so easy to deal with. He has 10 people in his hand?And just killed Youzhou and the prefect of Guangyang at this time, so morale is booming right now?
Although Lu Nu has 6000 men, he is still very reluctant to deal with [-] soldiers and horses.

Lord!

Xi Zhong coughed and said: "The most urgent thing is to expand the army. In addition, it is best to shrink the defense area, abandon Wubao, and transfer Yujin to Lunu."

As Guo Jia's number one adviser, Xi Zhong thought very comprehensively.

There is still a lot of pressure from six thousand to ten thousand, and it is necessary to shrink the defense range and expand the army.

Need not!

Guo Jia smiled and shook his head.

Soldiers are expensive and elites are not expensive. Although the Yellow Turban Bandits are powerful, most of them are peasants and have no combat effectiveness at all.

To deal with Zhang Niujiao, six thousand soldiers are enough.

Besides, the Yellow Turbans cut off the commercial routes from Zhongshan to various places. Zhongshan's finances were tight, and it was impossible to support too many soldiers and horses.

Lord!

Xi Zhong wanted to say something, but Guo Jia waved his hand.

"That's it, everyone perform their duties!"

Everyone clasped their fists together, got up and left.

They were not as optimistic as Guo Jia, everyone had worried faces.

After all, there are 10,000+ Yellow Turban Thieves, and there are only 6000 people in Lunu City.

After everyone left, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Guo Jia.

"Guo Jia, you don't seem to be under any pressure!"

Aunt Cai Yu looked at him in surprise.

There is Zhang Niujiao's 10,000 army in the northeast, Zhang Bao's [-] army in the south, and [-]+ bandits in the Taihang Mountains. Others would have panicked.

rest assured!

Guo Jia raised Erlang's legs proudly.

"With your brother-in-law here, Zhongshan is as solid as gold. Not to mention Zhang Niujiao, even if Zhang Jiao comes, Zhongshan will not be able to do anything."

Blow the air!

Cai Yu pouted.

Based on what she knew about this brother-in-law, he must have had some idea.

"What on earth are you planning?"

Cai Yu became curious for a moment.

In her opinion, 10,000 against [-]+ is sure to lose, but her brother-in-law is the only one who can create miracles in the world.

It is said that this guy has given her countless surprises.

Want to know?

Guo Jia suddenly stretched out his finger.

Cai Yu turned her ear over.

"A kiss from my sister-in-law will kill my brother-in-law!"

Guo Jia whispered something in her ear.

This bastard!

Cai Yu blushed and glared at Guo Jia.

She would be a complete fool if she believed this now.

This is just an excuse for Guo Jia to tease her.

but……

Cai Yu hesitated again.

She is well aware of the pressure on Guo Jia.

The army of the entire imperial court retreated steadily under the attack of the Yellow Turban Thieves. Can Zhongshan's small force stop Zhang Niujiao's [-] troops?

Cai Yu suddenly hugged Guo Jia and kissed him on the cheek.

Just encourage him.

But how could Guo Jia be dismissed so easily, this servant unceremoniously hugged Cai Yu and kissed her small mouth.

"Don't take an inch!"

Cai Yu said with shame and anger.

She suddenly realized that she had made another fatal mistake.

This fellow deserves no sympathy at all.

Feeling that Guo Jia's tongue was invading her mouth, Cai Yu couldn't bear it anymore.

Oh!

Guo Jia suddenly screamed, covered his mouth and took a few steps back.

Blood flowed down her fingers, and her tongue and lips were bleeding from her bite.

"Girl, you are so cruel!"

Guo Jia said with a wry smile, her voice was a bit vague.

Live it!

A blushing flashed across Cai Yu's face, and she snorted, "Who made you so obscene."

It was only then that Guo Jia realized that the sister-in-law in front of her was a little pepper, so don't make fun of her if she has nothing to do.

never mind!

Let's go to Cai Meimei to soothe the wounded soul!
"Guo Jia, you haven't said how you will deal with Zhang Niujiao?"

Seeing that Guo Jia was about to slip away, Cai Yu quit.

It is said that the reason why she sacrificed her hue was because she wanted to know this question.

This is related to the safety of the entire Zhongshan.

"You really want to know?"

Guo Jia tilted his head and glanced at the girl.

Cai Yu nodded solemnly.

"Okay then, come with me!"

As he spoke, he led Cai Yu into the backyard of the prefect's mansion.

Many people are busy in the backyard, some are grinding powder, some are firing, some are drying, just like a big workshop.

here is……

Cai Yu looked at all this in surprise.

No wonder the prefect's mansion always has a strange smell, which originally originated from here.

girl!

Guo Jia smiled and said: "This is my reliance!"

rely!

Cai Yu looked strangely at the craftsmen's neatly crafted items.

Yellow, black, and some powdery things.

What exactly is this?
Strangely, she picked up a little yellow lump and sniffed it.

A sneeze!

Cai Yu couldn't help but sneezed.

"Is this realgar?"

Cai Yu is no stranger to this thing.

In the Han Dynasty, every family would drink some realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Yes, it's realgar!"

Guo Jia said with a smile.

Cai Yu saw a black block on the side.

this is……

She picked up a piece, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "This is charcoal!"

good eyesight!
Guo Jia's smile remained unchanged.

Cai Yu's eyes fell on the gray powder on the side again.

this……

But she couldn't figure it out.

"This is saltpeter powder."

Guo Jia explained.

saltpeter?

Cai Yu frowned slightly.

She had also heard that northern nomads usually use this thing to boil fur.

The fur made of saltpeter is smooth, supple and bright in color.

"Is this what you rely on?"

Cai Yu asked puzzledly.

Saltpeter can make fur, realgar can repel snakes and insects, and charcoal can be used for heating.

Guo Jia wants to use these three things to resist Zhang Niujiao's [-] troops?

What a joke!
Seeing his sister-in-law's expression, Guo Jia showed a smile on his face.

"Girl, if I tell you, I can use these three things to defeat Zhang Niujiao's [-] troops, do you believe it?"

Do not believe!

Cai Yu shook her head like a drum.

These three things are unremarkable, how can they stop the army of [-] people?
Of course she didn't believe it.

very good!

Guo Jia smiled and said, "In that case, how about we make a bet?"
