Chapter 99

"Ponytails or women's clothing, that is the question."

Hearing Liu Ying's whisper, Zhang Buyi couldn't help shivering.

Women's clothing!

The unbearable memories of a few years ago suddenly flooded my mind!
He put his hands on Liu Ying's shoulders, and resolutely said: "Ponytails at most, if you let me dress up as a woman, I will show you to death, and I will splatter blood on your face!"

The double ponytails that Liu Ying combed him while he was asleep last time were similar to the double buns or shofar braids of children in this period. Although they are eye-catching, they will not be too embarrassing.

Heh, if you really let you have double ponytails, we will break off our friendship... Liu Ying laughed: "I'm kidding you! We are half brothers, how could I do that?"

Zhang Buyi looked at him gratefully, and instantly felt that he owed the other party a lot, and he just wanted to share all the delicious and fun things he knew with the other party!
Liu Ying turned her head to look at the four-wheeled carriages circling in the square, shook her head slightly and sighed.

In fact, it is quite simple to make a four-wheeled carriage. The so-called difficulty is not the steering differential at all.

After all, this is a carriage, not a car.

When the American Yankees drove four-wheeled carriages and completed the development of the western region, cars only had three wheels!
What the four-wheeled carriage uses is not a differential, but a very simple bogie.

Both the front wheel and the rear wheel of the carriage are installed on the vehicle frame respectively, and the front axle is connected with the chassis through a rotating shaft body, so that the two front wheels can rotate.

Well, in order not to overturn, it is only necessary to make the front wheels smaller, so that the rolling direction of the wheels will be consistent with the forward direction, and the lateral force received as much as possible can be reduced.

After the steering problem is solved, the bearing is simple.

Rolling bearings can't be made, but sliding bearings made of bronze are all over the street, and they are coated with animal grease for lubrication, and they run fast.

After all, now is the last glorious period of chariots.

As for shock absorption, there are no springs, but the leaf springs are very simple. Wrought iron is carburized, tapped and beaten, and metal plates of different lengths are superimposed together, which is simple and rude.

Well, many trucks in later generations still use leaf springs as shock absorbers.

It's a pity that in the era when horse-drawn carriages were popular in later generations, China was already an agricultural society with a small land and a large number of people.

The cost of raising two horses can fully support two people. Horses can only pull carts, but people can not only pull carts, but also do many things!

As for the dignitaries who can afford it?
Well, sedan chair to understand.

Zhang Juzheng, one of the three phases of Dameng Zhongxing, uses a 32-carrying sedan chair every day, which is similar to the caravan of later generations, where he can eat, drink, and sleep in it!
Seeing Liu Ying sigh, Liu Fei turned his head and looked over: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Ying smiled and shook her head: "The four-wheeled carriage has been built, and it's time for us to leave here, and I still feel a little bit strange!"

These four-wheeled carriages were built so that they would not suffer so much when they traveled long distances, especially Liu Taigong and Lu Gong. Although they seemed to be in good health, they actually showed their age!
On the other hand, it was for Qi Ji. After all, the little girl, bah, was a young woman who was pretty and had suffered a great crime in the original history.

Of course, she found it all by herself!

Back then when pounding rice in Yongxiang, if Qi Ji hadn’t sung the song about the son being the king and the mother being the prisoner, her old mother would have lost her temper after a while, maybe she would have been let out of Chang’an just like Bao Ji... …

In the distance, Pan Gong walked slowly with an admiration on his face.

He did not follow Liu Bang to the west, but stayed in Yangdi and continued to be his master craftsman.

Seeing Pan Gong approaching, Liu Ying, Liu Fei and others saluted one after another.

Pan Gong nodded slightly, looked at Liu Ying and asked, "How did you come up with such an exquisite thing?"

Liu Ying said with a smile: "If I say that an old man with a white beard told me in a dream, is Mr. Pan believable?"

Pan Gong nodded again: "I believe."

Um?You'll believe it... Liu Ying blinked her eyes, disbelief written all over her face.

Pan Gong said with a smile: "To be honest, since the young master and the old man met in Chen County, the old man began to pay attention secretly. After this period of observation, the old man is sure that there is no strange person around the young master."

"So, excluding this possibility, although the theory of teaching in the dream is absurd, it is the only possibility..."

Is this old guy so insidious?I'm afraid... Liu Ying took a step back, scratched her head and said, "Actually, I was just joking..."

Pan Gong interrupted him, shook his head and said:

"It doesn't matter who taught it to me. In the past, my Mohist patriarch was proficient in all kinds of exquisite skills. He was also gifted and learned by analogy... After his death, no one in the Mohism has reached his height, and the Mohism has fallen into pieces. !"

Pan Gong shook his head and sighed for a while, then looked at Liu Ying and asked, "Young Master, why don't you think about it, how about you and I being mentors and apprentices to each other?"

What the hell... Liu Ying froze in place, blinking her eyes: "What is mutual mentoring?"

Pan Gong said: "Learning is endless, and those who have mastered it are teachers! I will teach you the essence of Mohism, and you will teach me all kinds of flashes of inspiration. In this way, we are each other's master and apprentice."

Then I was at a loss... Liu Ying sighed slightly in her heart, the Mo family's set of love and non-attack was of little use to him, and the knowledge in his mind was equivalent to the technology of Zenith Star to Pangong.

But he hesitated again and again, and still bowed in accordance with the apprenticeship etiquette of this period:

"Meet the teacher."

Opposite him, Pan Gong bowed his head with the same etiquette: "I have met the teacher."

At the gate, Lu Zhi, who heard that there were rare objects outside and came out to take a look, covered his mouth in surprise, opened his eyes wide, and supported the wall with one hand.

Liu Bang once revealed to her the identity of Pangong when he was in the sage's time.

It is no exaggeration to say that the highest seniority of the Mohists in the world is the leader of the contemporary Mohists. As long as they raise their arms and shout, the Mohist people in the world will definitely come.

Nowadays, such a person actually worships his own son?

"Could it be that I'm dreaming?" Lu Zhi blinked Kazilan's big eyes, feeling at a loss for a while.

On the side of the road in the distance, Liu Taigong jumped off the carriage with a fighting cock in his arms, and also saw the scene of Liu Ying and Pangong worshiping each other.

"Oops, my good grandson is going to be kidnapped by the Mo family's bastards!"

Liu Taigong was very anxious and regretted his mistake. If he had known that when Liu Ying asked about his master's background, he would have confessed everything to the other party.

He stomped his feet and scolded: "It's all the fault of that bastard, if he didn't say anything and refused to inherit my teacher's theory, he insisted on becoming a ranger, and he wouldn't be what he is now!"

At this moment, Liu Bang, who was camping twenty miles north of Wuguan City, sneezed suddenly.

"Who is scolding Naigong?"

He rubbed his nose and was about to discuss the next plan with Zhang Liang when Li Shiqi ran in from outside the tent.

"I'm back, Ning Chang is back!"

"Who?"

Liu Bang was full of doubts. The name Li Shiqi said sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Li Shiqi stomped his feet: "Wei Ningchang is the Confucian scholar who proposed himself and went to Guanzhong to persuade him to surrender!"

Liu Bang suddenly realized that the man came out of nowhere, and suddenly stopped him, saying that he was the emperor who was destined by fate, and that as long as he stepped out, he would definitely be able to persuade Hu Hai to surrender to him and give him the throne... …

Since the other party made a vow, Liu Bang naturally did not stop him, and gave him a sum of travel expenses to let him go.

In fact, in Liu Bang's heart, he felt that this guy might be short of money, so he came to him and asked for it tactfully. He often did this kind of thing when he was a ranger...

What I didn't expect was that this guy came back again!
Could it be that you are short of money again?

Liu Bang nodded: "Since he's back, let him in."

After a while, Ning Chang walked in wearing a Confucian crown and a black silk woven robe, but compared to that day, his plump cheeks were deeply sunken into his cheeks, and it looked like he had been soaked in salt water three times. I boiled it three times in the water, and rinsed it in the blood water three times...

"Fortunately not humiliated!"

"what?"

Liu Bang sat up straight suddenly, his face turned pale with shock, and a voice sounded in his heart: Could it be that this guy really persuaded Hu Hai to surrender?
Beside him, Zhang Liang, who boasted that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face, looked dull at the moment, tongue-tied, doubtful.

"Xianyang ordered Yan Yue to force Hu Hai to be killed in Wangyi Palace, and Zhao Gao asked me to tell Marquis Wu'an that he would like to divide Guanzhong with Marquis Wu'an..."

"At this moment, the guard general of the gate has also sent an envoy. If Marquis Wu'an agrees, he will immediately turn his back and disarm his armor, and surrender with courtesy!"

After Ning Chang finished speaking, he stood aside silently, looking at Liu Bang with piercing eyes.

"Hu Hai is dead? Divide the king into Guanzhong?"

Liu Bang muttered these two words, and a storm surged in his heart.

He instinctively didn't believe it. After all, one of the reasons why everyone rebelled against Qin was that Qin had no way, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally the emperor of Qin.

but……

Dividing the king in Guanzhong is completely unacceptable to him!

Although Guanzhong is big, it cannot accommodate two kings!
Zhang Liang asked suddenly, "You said just now that the envoy of the guard of the gate is also outside?"

Ning Chang nodded: "That's right. The two sides have reached an agreement, and the gates of Gaoguan City will be opened wide to welcome Marquis Wu'an ten miles away!"

Zhang Liang nodded slightly, tugged at the corner of Liu Bang's clothes, and winked at him.

Liu Bang understood in seconds, looked at Ning Chang and said gently: "Sir, you have worked hard all the way, let me think about the peace negotiation! Mr. Guangye, it is good to entertain you and the envoy of Qin!"

Li Shiqi cupped his hands and worshiped, Ning Chang reminded him again: "Marquis Wu'an, you must know that the opportunity must never come again! Please make plans early!"

After a while, all the people in the tent left.

Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "What strategy does Zifang teach me?"

Zhang Liang didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Can Marquis Wu An trust Zhao Gao's words?"

Liu Bang scratched his head and said, "I think it's somewhat believable. Now that my army is overwhelming, he knows that Guanzhong is not safe, so he wants to share Guanzhong with me... But we can pay back the money on the spot!"

Zhang Liang chuckled and said, "Marquis Wu An, have you thought about the consequences of making peace with Zhao Gao at this moment?"
