Chapter 142 Qin Dynasty
Yang Zheng vaguely remembered that Du Yu was still an inventor?
Modified waterwheel or something.

Liannu is a good thing, but I can't use it now.

How many arrow clusters does one battle consume?
The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the more delicate things are, the less applicable they are.

If you have time to build these things, you might as well get more spears and armor.

For Yang Zheng today, ordinary crossbows are enough, and bows and arrows make up for it.

In the future, if it develops, it will be able to produce a continuous crossbow army.

At this stage, many slaves run around naked and are so poor that they don’t even have clothes.

So Yang Zheng was not very interested.

The biggest problem of Jishishan is that the production is insufficient and the efficiency is not high.

Yang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, "I wonder if Yuan Kai can smelt iron?"

Blacksmiths these days are almost scientists of later generations.

The hundred refining method is too slow, there are only a few swords and spears in a month, and the armor is even slower.

"Slightly familiar, not proficient."

In this era, the aristocratic families not only confine the land and population, but also monopolize technology and knowledge.

So the Wei and Jin emperors had to cooperate with them.

It is not surprising that the children of aristocratic families know carpentry, rhythm, astronomy, alchemy, alchemy, and medical theory. The king of Huainan invented tofu, Liu Ye made a catapult, Cao Wei's son-in-law Ji Kang liked to forge iron, and Ge Hong invented black gunpowder decades later.

In an era when food is a problem, it is not ordinary people who can do research.

Yang Zheng didn't know how much Du Yu had learned, "There are iron mines in Jishi Mountain in the southeast. If we can smelt them, our army can be self-sufficient."

"There are blacksmiths in the western capital, and the Guo family has Tibetan bamboo slips. It's not difficult for my subordinates to study for a while."

"I'll leave this matter to Yuan Kai." Yang Zheng cupped Du Yu.

A scout entered in the wind and snow, and the cold air rushed in, "Report to the general, there is an urgent matter in the West Sea. Midang is in the northwest of Xianshui Lake, and was defeated by the Qiang Hu coalition forces!"

Yang Zheng was taken aback, Zhong Qiang had developed rapidly in recent years, claiming to have won more than [-] soldiers, it should not be difficult to swallow the West Sea logically.

"Tell me in detail!"

"Midang gathered [-] people from Xu to the pool to enter the West Sea. Fearing its power, the Qiang and Hu all bowed their heads and surrendered, but Midang asked each of them to bring in ten thousand sheep and horses and a thousand women. Fleeing, Midang is chasing after him, the leader of Qinhu, Meng Yu, and the leader of Lushuihu, Yijian Yanu, took advantage of the wind and snow to attack them, Zhong Qiang was unprepared, and the army was in chaos. Xihai Qianghu saw Midang's army in chaos, and went back. Returning, flanking front and rear, Midang was defeated, with tens of thousands of casualties."

"Reward ten stones of food, go down and rest."

"Thank you, General!" The scout was overjoyed.

Yang Zheng felt a little overestimated and confused.

It has been more than half a year, and the West Sea has not yet been won.

"Congratulations to Xingyun, if you don't win the West Sea, our army has a lot to do." No one else was there, Du Yu called Yang Zheng directly.

"What's the background of Qin Hu and Lu Shui Hu?" Yang Zheng was more interested in these two Hu people than Zhong Qiang.

Du Yu is rich in learning and never forgets. He said with a smile: "Qin Hu was the Huhua Qin people in the west. In the [-]th year of the Great Qin Dynasty, the country was destroyed. The Qin people in the west were cut off from their homeland and gradually became Hu. The Taiwei went west and returned to the capital. He led Qin Hu to more than [-] cavalrymen, and sweaty and bloody horses, and gave birth to more than [-] people. The backbone of Dong Zhuo's iron cavalry in Xiliang was also Qin Hu. Lu Shuihu was a miscellaneous Hu, including Xiongnu and Yueshi , Qiang Di, and Qin Hu all live in Huangzhong."

Yang Zheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Since Qin Hu is a descendant of Great Qin, he is one of his own.

What is Xiping lacking the most?
Isn't that just human?
This is not what is missing?
Yang Zheng had the feeling that the heaven and the earth were all in the same force.

Since Qin Hu can obey Duan Jiong and Dong Zhuo, he should also be able to obey himself, the captain who protects Qiang.

Dare to move the backyard of the fan, which shows that Qin Hu has considerable strength and courage.

Yang Zheng talked about the Hanyi family, but that was just a slogan. If he said it to others, if he took it seriously, he would be stupid.

There is still a sense of intimacy in my heart.

The population of the core group is insufficient, and the hidden dangers are too great.

Just like Fu Jian a hundred years later, he seemed to be cooking with fire, but in fact he made a wedding dress for others.

"If I take Qin Hu for my own use, how does Yuan Kai feel?" Yang Zheng looked at Du Yu expectantly.

"Qin Hu has been in the west for a long time, and he doesn't know his mind. The general should be cautious."

As long as there is one tenth possibility, Yang Zheng will try it.

"If you want to pacify Zhong Qiang, you must subdue Qin Hu." Yang Zheng made up his mind.

Du Yu didn't force himself anymore, "In a short time, Midang will not be able to swallow the West Sea, and Xiping will have no worries for the time being."

Yang Zheng thought for a while, and said with piercing eyes: "Midang will never give up on the West Sea. I want to send soldiers to pretend to be the Lushuihu tribe. Firstly, I can defend against Midang, secondly, I can train my troops, and thirdly, I want to capture Xihai in the future." Get ready!"

Du Xian watched Yang Zheng for a few breaths, and said slowly: "Xingyun has done a great job in opening up the territory for the Great Wei, and he will be the mainstay of the country in the future!"

On the surface, it is admiration, but if you touch it carefully, there is a deep meaning in the words.

Maybe it's beating.

I didn't feel it before, but Yang Zheng has already felt it when we get along these days.

Du Yu's mind was on Cao Wei.

Two generations of the Du family received Cao Wei's grace, and it is only natural for Du Yu to think about Cao Wei.

Yang Zheng can understand.

Orthodoxy occupies a considerable place in their hearts.

But how many years can Cao Wei last?
When Sima Yi was alive, he was the "branch minister" of the Great Wei Dynasty. Once he died, everyone knew what his two sons were thinking.

Anyway, Yang Zheng didn't think about rebelling, at most he just wanted to protect himself and become a local emperor by the way.

If Du Yu could understand, everyone continued to make do with it, and if they couldn't understand, there was nothing they could do.

Let's get together and relax.

As a friend, Yang Zheng would not make things difficult for him.

In the words of later generations, this is called a disagreement of values.

Just when the two were thinking about each other, the soldiers begged to see him outside the door.

"General, Midang sent an envoy to ask for an interview."

Yang Zheng and Du Yu's eyes lit up at the same time.

"See."

The soldiers withdrew, and after a while, a Qiang envoy with chicken feathers stuck in his head came in, "Ke Gu is here to congratulate General Yang on his promotion to the captain of the Qiang guard, at the request of my king."

Yang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said with a serious face on purpose: "Since you are here to congratulate, why don't you see a congratulatory gift? Since you don't bring a congratulatory gift, then you must not be here to congratulate. If you have something to say, just say it directly, and there is no need to go around the corner."

Ke Gu showed embarrassment and coughed, "General Yang is really a straightforward person. My king asked the general to send troops to attack Qin Hu and Lu Shuihu. After the matter is completed, there will be a big thank you."

Du Yu said: "Qinhu and Lu Shuihu are both internal citizens, and Zhong Qiang is a foreign barbarian. The general will not hold you accountable for attacking the internal people without authorization. Do you still want the general to send troops?"

Ke Gu looked at Du Yu, then at Yang Zheng, "May the general remember the love of the alliance in the past."

It's okay not to mention this, but Yang Zheng's heart surged with anger when he mentioned it.

Mi Dang wanted to kill himself at the beginning.

Now you still have the face to mention the feeling of alliance?

But the allies were just using it to trick them, and now they turned their backs, in case Midang couldn't swallow this breath, and turned around to attack Xiping, it would be enough for him to drink a pot.

It is best to use Xihai to contain and consume Mizuki's strength.

Give Xiping enough time to develop.

This is also forced by the situation, Xiping has a lot of waste to do, and his foundation is too weak.

And Zhong Qiang is too powerful.

Losing tens of thousands of people did not hurt them.

It would be best for both Zhong Qiang and Xihai Qiang and Hu to lose, and to reap the benefits themselves.

"Go back and report to your king, the general agreed." Yang Zheng smiled very honestly.

Ke Gu took a cautious look at Yang Zheng, "General Xie, my king will never forget the general's help."

After all, it is all about love and righteousness, and there is not a single word of reality.

Midang's stinginess is astonishing.
