At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 197 Zhu Yuanzhang's Sweetheart

"Wujiang City was captured on September [-]th. This cannon played an important role in the capture of Wujiang City. General Li said that our Sizhou Army has this cannon, and the general city can rely on the cannon Shoot it down. As for the tall and strong city walls like Jinling City on Jiqing Road, there must be a lot of cannons like this."

Cheng De nodded and turned to look at the other two soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the other two soldiers took out a letter from their arms and handed it to Cheng De.

When Cheng De was about to question them, one of the soldiers said: "Report to General, General Li has already explained all the battle situation clearly in the letter. Besides, General Li told us one thing when he asked us to report the victory."

"What's the matter?" Cheng De answered.

"General Li would like to ask the general for more cannons. The more the better." The soldier replied.

When Cheng De heard it, he laughed: "This Li Sanqi is really difficult for me! Nowadays, it is not difficult to make cannons, but other things are difficult."

Whether it is the materials for cannons or the production of explosive kits, they all face a common dilemma, that is, the lack of raw materials.

If you want to make a large number of cannons, you must explore mines, and to make explosive kits, you must explore more places to find raw materials for explosives.

And these are not something you want to have, it takes time.

There has not been any news from Sizhou City until now, presumably the material has not been found yet.

Cheng De also understood what Li Sanqi was thinking.

If he could, he wished that his Sizhou soldiers could fight any city he wanted with a cannon in their hands, but this was unrealistic.

The soldiers present were silent and bowed their heads.

Cheng De immediately opened the three letters in his hand.

The three letters were quickly read by Cheng De.

The three letters were written at different times, but they did not expect that the Sizhou Army soldiers would deliver the good news on the same day.

Cheng De didn't care about the process, what he was thinking about was what Li Sanqi mentioned in the three letters: the explosive packs were used up, and the explosive packs needed to be replenished, and he begged Cheng De to send someone to deliver some explosive packs to him .

However, Cheng De himself felt that there were not enough explosive bags, so how could there be more explosive bags sent to Li Sanqi?

Thinking of this, Cheng De felt very helpless.

He couldn't help but think that with Li Sanqi and his army, it might no longer be a competition for equipment, but a competition for resourcefulness, logistics, and morale.

I am afraid that the follow-up battle will not be as smooth as the attack on Wujiang City, Hezhou City, and Hanshan City.

Therefore, Cheng De fixed his eyes on the three soldiers of the Sizhou Army, and then said: "The three of you go down to rest for a while, and I will write a letter to reply to Li Sanqi later. Wait for my After writing the reply letter, the three of you immediately rushed back to Li Sanqi's side."

"Follow the order!" The three soldiers immediately knelt on one knee.

After watching the three soldiers being taken away by the soldiers, Cheng De focused on the three letters written by Li Sanqi, took out a piece of paper, spread it out on the table, and immediately wrote :
I have no gunpowder bags left, and no cannons. The follow-up battle will only rely on your wisdom.I believe Ru Cao will be able to take the Taiping Road!If the Yuan cannot be attacked, we will fight with it for food and grass for a long time, which will benefit our Sizhou army, and it will be even more detrimental to the Yuan army.

Be sure to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and adapt to changing circumstances.

Written on September [-], Cheng Deliu.

After finishing writing, Cheng De sent his own soldiers to find the three soldiers who reported the victory, and then solemnly handed over the letter to one of them, and said to the three of them: "Take this letter back and give it to Li Sanqi, tell me In his words, the most taboo thing on the battlefield is impatience, don't make wrong choices because of impatience."

The three soldiers all said seriously: "Yes!"

Afterwards, the three soldiers hurried away with the letter.

After dealing with this matter, Cheng De rushed to Shen Lingling without stopping.

After arriving outside Shen Lingling's house, Cheng De knocked on the door of Shen Lingling's house.

"Who?"

Shen Lingling's voice came from inside the room.

Cheng De said in a deep voice, "It's me!"

"Ah! It's the general!"

Hearing the surprised sound inside, Cheng De felt a little dazed.

next moment.

The door of the house opened, and what Cheng De saw was Shen Lingling in a red dress.

Looking at Shen Lingling in front of him, Cheng De was stunned on the spot.

Seeing this, Shen Lingling lowered her head shyly.

Women are those who please themselves.

Shen Lingling didn't expect that one day, she would be able to make the general lose his mind by virtue of her appearance, which was beyond her expectation.

After Cheng De came back to his senses, he said, "What's the matter? Why don't you invite me in?"

Shen Lingling stared in astonishment, raised her head to look at Cheng De, then quickly lowered her head again, and then quickly let her body pass by.

Cheng De went straight into the house.

Shen Lingling looked at Cheng De's back, quickly closed the door, and followed.

"Are you satisfied with this house?" Cheng De asked looking at the elegant decorations around him.

Cheng De was very satisfied with the soldier who arranged for Shen Lingling's residence, thinking that the matter was done well.

Shen Lingling said softly: "This house is very nice!"

Cheng De glanced at Shen Lingling: "That's good! By the way, where is Zhu Yuanzhang? Why didn't you see him?"

When Shen Lingling heard Cheng De's question, she replied: "Brother Zhu said just now that he was going to the street to buy some things, so he will come back as soon as he goes."

Cheng De turned his head to look at Shen Lingling: "Did he say anything to buy?"

Shen Lingling was very puzzled, but still replied: "Brother Zhu's expression, maybe he has a sweetheart. I think the things that Brother Zhu went to buy on the street should be things for women."

Cheng De was startled: "Oh? Do you know who his sweetheart is?"

Shen Lingling was silent for a while, and then said: "It should be from the Wu family in Sizhou City."

"Huh? Which Wu family?" Cheng De asked.

Shen Lingling didn't hesitate at all: "The head of the Wu family is Wu Jian, and this is the Wu family. Brother Zhu's sweetheart is the daughter of Wu Jian, the head of the Wu family."

Cheng De stood there silently, without any response for a while.

Shen Lingling looked at Cheng De in surprise, but she didn't ask any further questions and kept silent.

"I'll stay in your room to rest tonight." Cheng De suddenly said to Shen Lingling.

Shen Lingling's face immediately turned red, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Cheng De at all.

"Also, when Zhu Yuanzhang comes back, ask him to wait for me in the study, and tell him that I have something to tell him." Cheng De told Shen Lingling.

Shen Lingling nodded: "Yes, General! I will definitely bring this to Brother Zhu."

"In addition, don't tell Zhu Yuanzhang about what we just said and about my coming to see you. If Zhu Yuanzhang asks, just say that you don't know. Do you understand?" Cheng De looked at Shen Lingling calmly.

Shen Lingling was horrified, she didn't understand why Brother Zhu attracted the general's attention.

But looking at the general's eyes, Shen Lingling nodded heavily.

Cheng De turned around and was about to leave. At this moment, Shen Lingling said: "General, I—"

Cheng De turned around and looked at Shen Lingling.

Shen Lingling was silent.

Cheng De: "But what's the matter?"

Shen Lingling hesitated for a long time before saying: "Sister Xiuying asked me to tell the general that the general does not need to worry about the rear of the Sizhou army."

Cheng De nodded and left.

Shen Lingling watched Cheng De leave, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.
