my brother champion

Chapter 176 Emperor Wu of the Han's Scheme!First test launch of a fly cannon
In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sitting in the palace, looking at a cloth map showing the location of Mobei.

Although the map is large, it is still not detailed enough.

But in this ancient era of 2000 years ago, it was enough.

On the edge of the map, Emperor Wu of the Han marked Dai County and Dingxiang County, and muttered to himself: "I ordered them to switch marching directions. Now the two cavalry armies should have arrived at these two counties according to the time. right."

Mrs. Li at the side took out the peeled fruit and fed it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, she did not forget to ask: "The two counties are far away from Chang'an. Your Majesty, how can you know the whereabouts of the two generals when you are in the palace?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was immediately happy, and while eating the fruit Mrs. Li had prepared, he said, "Don't you believe it?"

Mrs. Li quickly lowered her head, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this concubine did not question His Majesty's intentions."

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw it, he laughed and said, "Why are you nervous? I'm not angry with you."

Hear this.

Madam Li breathed a sigh of relief.

And this time.

A man dressed as a forest army officer rushed in, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the Weiqing Legion entered Dingxiang County last night, and General Hussars also arrived in Dai County with troops and horses."

Madam Li exclaimed suddenly, and said: "Your Majesty is right, the two generals have already arrived."

Seeing Mrs. Li's admiration, Emperor Wu of the Han felt a little happy at this time, and said with a smile: "It's all about arriving at the normal time. If the two of them don't arrive at the stipulated time, I will punish them. They dare not delay." !"

While speaking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to study on the map again.

At the same time, he still didn't forget to mutter to himself: "It's easy to say in the Han territory, but if you enter Mobei, I don't know where the Huns are hiding. I wonder if Wei Qing and the others can find them!"

Mrs. Li said at this time: "Your Majesty is as blessed as heaven, the two generals use their soldiers like gods, and they will definitely find them."

Facts have proved that women who are beautiful and can talk are the most pleasing to men.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was no exception.

Not long after the pawns of the Habayashi Army who came to report the news withdrew, another guard came in and reported to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, the blacksmiths have already made the first batch of flying thunder cannons at the Wrought Iron Palace. I am preparing to try it out, and I hope to get His Majesty's approval."

"Oh? Made it? Okay, let's go and have a look!" Emperor Wu of Han nodded slightly.

Subsequently.

Then he took Mrs. Li to go together.

The carriage was driving on the fast track, and no one dared to stop it.

After all, this is the carriage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

As for Chi Dao, because of the embroidered clothes emissary like Jiang Chong, the residents of Chang'an City have long been afraid to ride a horse-drawn carriage.

Together with Prince Liu Ju who is the crown prince, they were all pulled off the carriage by Jiang Chong.

Can be imagined.

Who in Chang'an City would dare to ride a carriage on the Chidao?
There is only the carriage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

As for Emperor Wu of Han himself, not only did he not criticize Jiang Chong's operations, but he even appreciated them.

This is why Jiang Chong even dared to offend Prince Liu Shi.

after all.

This is what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty supported him to do.

The carriage is slow.

But the ancients didn't talk about traffic jams. Even though Chang'an City was very prosperous, there was only a carriage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty driving on the road.

So Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his concubine, Mrs. Li, soon arrived at the Blacksmith Hall.

After entering the palace.

The ten flying thunder cannons produced in the first batch were placed in the hall.

The dark muzzle is inexplicably frightening.

Mrs. Li accompanied Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to watch these flying thunder cannons, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, these are the cannons designed by the champion Hou brother?"

"I heard that there was a drill at the South Camp last time."

"The champion, Brother Hou, took a tree trunk at will, and said it was some kind of weapon. He said outrageously that Old General Li, and Old General Cheng Bushi was defeated."

"This made the soldiers of the South Camp quite critical of this child's play!"

"It's true!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had experienced that incident himself, so he naturally knew the process better than anyone else, but he still looked at Mrs. Li curiously and asked, "This is a matter of training in the South Camp, although we don't say anything about it. It’s kept secret, but it’s not something ordinary people can know.”

"You are in the palace and won't come out for a long time."

"How did you know about this?"

Hear this.

Mrs. Li quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard about it from the elder brother. Recently, the elder brother is practicing the art of war and wants to learn the art of war as soon as possible so that he can serve your majesty. That's why I have some friendship with the old general Li's family." know each other, and then we talked about it.”

Emperor Wu of the Han frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered the last time, when he was questioned about hunting in Shanglin Garden, he shouted about Li Guangli who was competing with Xiao Huo Guang.

This guy's name is one more word than that of General Li Guang.

Martial arts are much sparser.

After two or three rounds, Huo Guang picked him off the horse with a stick, and he fell into a mess.

this performance.

In the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it can be said to be very embarrassing.

However, because he was the elder brother of his concubine Mrs. Li, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't say anything to him. He snorted lightly and said, "There is indeed such a thing about the training in the South Day Camp. Not only did I know, but I also went there on purpose. , let that little Huo Guang do it with confidence."

Mrs. Li was surprised when she heard the words: "Your Majesty loves the champion Hou brother so much. After hearing about it, the ministers and concubines will probably feel jealous."

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard the words, he smiled dumbly and said, "What's there to be jealous about? I let that kid do this arrogantly and arrogantly. It's not for favor, but for the convenience of knocking down the general in the future!"

There was only one general in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

That is Wei Qing!
Other than that, no one else.

Even the champion Hou Huo Qubing, who is favored by His Majesty, is only a general of hussars.

Although after the Battle of Mobei.

Uncle and nephew are equal in status, but the title of Great General still belongs to Wei Qing only.

after all.

This is the person who won the first victory for Emperor Wu of the Han against the Huns.

Mrs. Li heard the words, and immediately became a little confused about Emperor Wu of Han's operation.Huo Guangjiao was allowed to act freely, and he said it was to beat Wei Qing. The two have little connection, right?
With this suspicion, Mrs. Li tried to ask: "Your Majesty, my concubine doesn't understand this matter, but I am also very curious. Isn't General Wei Qing your Majesty's favorite general? Besides, he is the younger brother of the empress, why is your majesty?" Hit him?"

"Further."

"Does this have anything to do with the champion Hou?"

Emperor Wu of the Han gently stroked the muzzle of the Feilei Cannon with his hand, feeling the cold touch on it.After working hard for a while, he slowly withdrew his hand, put his back on his back, and said lightly: "Wei Qing is steady, it is very difficult to make mistakes in doing things, I can't just hit them directly!"

"General Hussars has a violent personality and has made many mistakes. But I have high hopes for him, so I don't want to beat him."

"As for Huo Guang, he is frizzy and likes to engage in some business activities. I don't like it. Using his mistakes to beat Wei Qing is perfect."

Huo Guang in history was famous for his stability.

It can be said.

When he was an official beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty passed away and closed his eyes, Huo Guang could keep exactly the same way every day, no matter how many steps he took.

in the eyes of all.

Those are very disciplined people.

But the problem is.

At this moment, Huo Guang is no longer the person in the historical prototype.

steady?

Does it have something to do with Huo Guang!

No, not at all!
After Emperor Wu of the Han finished speaking, he suddenly turned his attention to Madam Li, and continued: "Five years ago, Zhao Xin, the general of the Xiongnu conquered by Wei Qing, suddenly defected and led his troops into Feiyingjian, preparing to raid the Ganquan where I was stationed at that time. palace."

"In order to protect the safety of Ganquan Palace, the general even mobilized the Huben Yulin army to move forward without authorization."

"I don't blame Wei Qing for his actions."

"only."

"At that moment, I suddenly discovered that this general who relied on me in the past can actually mobilize the Tiger Ben Yulin Army, which is not in the military establishment, without my will."

"This makes me feel at ease?"

All the emperors of feudal dynasties have always had a common problem.

That is paranoia!

As the hero of a generation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will only be more suspicious than other emperors in history.

The Habayashi Army is the close guard of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This kind of soldier.

Only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could transfer it alone, and anyone who transferred it would be a capital offense.

Wei Qing can mobilize Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's close guards. In other words, if Wei Qing wants to rebel and kill Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, wouldn't it be easy?
Once the emperor became suspicious.

The consequences are unimaginable.

Fortunately, Wei Qing was still the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and because of his relationship with Empress Wei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no intention of executing Wei Qing.

It's just that since then, Wei Qing has been suppressed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Just at this time Hussar General Huo Qubing came to the fore again, so under the overt and covert operation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the transfer of the power and prestige of the army began.

And when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Mrs. Li said these words.

The imperial aura of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so captivating that the delicate Mrs. Li dared not speak.

Emperor Wu of the Han continued to say to himself: "Ai Ji, do you know why I appointed Wei Zifu as queen and Wei Qing as general?"

Mrs. Li opened her mouth and wanted to say that it was because Empress Wei was the first to give birth to a prince for His Majesty, but she felt that it was not good to say so, so she shook her head again and said: "I don't know, so I dare not make wild guesses!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't care about Mrs. Li's answer.

just.

There was a look of deep hatred in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Since Empress Lu, women in the court of the Han Dynasty have always wanted to follow suit."

"When I first came to power, Empress Dowager Dou held the power firmly, making me unable to do anything."

"The Empress Dowager Dou passed away, and my mother's queen mother, my aunt Guantao Princess, they came up to do the same thing again."

"The reason."

"It's all because their identities are not simple, and they have family support behind them."

"After I figured this out."

"So I made up my mind that no matter whether it's raising children, governing the country and defending the enemy, I will never reuse those people with their own background. Whether it's Wei Zifu or Wei Qing, they were all the people I was looking for at that time."

"Because such a humble person, the only one he can rely on is me!"

"Without me, they are nothing!"

"Unfortunately, my idea is still too simple."

"Because I looked back and found that the prestige and power of those newcomers who only relied on me at the beginning, after they grow up, are no longer inferior to those old people in the past whom I fear."

The words fall.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Mrs. Li again, and asked, "Does Ai Ji know, why did I tell you these things?"

After hearing the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Li said, "Your Majesty wants my concubine to understand that this concubine, and my concubine's family brothers, should not cling to other families."

"Because the concubine's family is the only one I can rely on!"

"It's Your Majesty."

"You are smart!" Emperor Wu of the Han hooked Mrs. Li's Qiong's nose with his hand, and then said with extreme conceit: "But you are not smart enough. What I mean is to tell you that since I can make Wei Qing a big star that attracts everyone's attention General, naturally you can let your brother have the same honor."

"But if you interfere with the affairs of the court."

"I will also deprive your Li family of all honors, understand?"

The so-called companionship is like companionship with a tiger, so it is.

Mrs. Li immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows it's wrong, and shouldn't bother with the affairs of the court."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che still loved this beautiful concubine Ji very much. He immediately pulled Mrs. Li up and said, "Ai Ji, I won't do anything to you, just remember what I said today."

"All right."

"It's time to try the power of this thunder cannon, come and test the cannon!"

At the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Habayashi Army came in one after another and pushed out the ten flying thunder cannons.

Because the ironmaking industry at this time is not good, so in Huo Guang's design, the barrel of the Feilei Cannon must be thick enough!

Outside the barrel.

And tied it round and round with something as strong as iron wire.

A set of procedures down.

In any case, it should be much stronger than the kind of gasoline barrel used as a gun barrel.

After the Flying Thunder Cannon was pushed out.

The ten doors are lined up, and according to the instructions given by Huo Guang, the push gunpowder and explosive packs are filled.

As for gunpowder?

Naturally, Huo Guang also contributed, otherwise, in such a short period of time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che would not be able to produce these gunpowder no matter how powerful he is.

When the lead or something is done.

The blacksmith who made the cannon stepped forward and begged: "Your Majesty, please step back. According to the design diagram left by Huo Yilang, this weapon is powerful. Not only is it so powerful to the enemy, but if it is used carelessly, it will also cause difficulties to our own side. imagined hazards."

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard the words, he nodded and took a few steps back.

However, the blacksmith still said, "Your Majesty, please step back a bit."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, and pulled Mrs. Li back two steps.

however.

Even so.

The blacksmith still opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, for your safety, please"

However, before the blacksmith finished speaking this time, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was already annoyed. He didn't give him time to speak, and said, "Come on, drag this blacksmith down to beat thirty boards!"

"Change the soldiers of the Habayashi Army to come up and try to release the flying thunder cannon!"

"Humph!"

"In this world, no one can make me retreat again and again."

"I don't believe it anymore, this Feilei is really as powerful as little Huo Guang boasted!"

An order was issued.

The begging blacksmith was directly dragged down by the Habayashi army.

Followed.

Putting on the Habayashi Army soldiers stepped forward and lit the fuse.

These soldiers were very obedient to the orders of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, and they didn't realize whether it was dangerous.The emperor ordered them to light the black rope, and they lit it directly with the torches.

The black and not slippery rope, after encountering fire, will burn with a rub.

Obviously reserved for a long time.

But soon, it was seen burning into the barrel.

Then there was a loud noise, and the gunpowder in the gun barrel spewed tongues of flame toward the distant sky, and the round explosive package was "spit" out.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"
