When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 424 Chaos and Copper Wire

As soon as Shu Dagu's plan came out, it gave him seven days of rest.

After arranging the troops, horses, and weapons, Shu Dagu led the last one hundred or so people without hesitation, rushed down the mountain, and started towards the destination, Yangqu Liangzhai.

This is the only grain village between Taiyuan and Xinzhou, and it is also a weakly manned gap.

After all, there were more than two hundred people from the Xin family who were "driven" to the north. Although it was slippery, it at least ensured the safety of the grain village in the south.

As long as we ensure that the land food routes on the eastern front are not attacked by "Tong" and continue to drive the enemy into the mountains in the north and east, then it is not a problem.

Tong also followed their ideas, constantly changing the movement trajectory, and finally dragged the entire battlefield to Dingxiang County, Xinzhou in later generations.

At this time, Dingxiang was mainly composed of forests, grasslands, and a river that ran through it, the Hutuo River.

Therefore, this is a land very suitable for livestock farming.

Whether it is population or materials, the gap can be filled through plunder.

In short, the fact that Tong La is running all the way to the east with 5,000 people is due to the fact that the tribes with the Rong clan do not have enough communication with each other.

Now that the north wants people, they send some of them to the north and some to the south to transport grain.

They never thought that Tong was actually not the main force. The real main force was now like a poisonous snake biting into their hearts.

After burning the stockade, they started to cause trouble in the south again.

As a result, Taogui couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He was wondering, how many people had Xin arranged to cause trouble?

Isn’t there just over two hundred people?

Why does it look like there are thousands of people?

Correct……

I almost forgot, the people who were captured before said that Tong and the others would capture the escapees, and would promise the escapees that as long as they followed them to escape, they would get the food they needed for the winter.

That is to say...

Is it very likely that the southern group will split off?

"Damn it! What do the nobles in the south do for food? Are they being attacked?!"

Taogui roared, this is not good, Yangqu Liangzhai was burned, he rushed back, he was afraid that it would be too late, and the elders behind him might settle his account!

"Witch! Hurry! Divination!"

Taogui was breaking out in a cold sweat now, and quickly called the wizard to ask him to divine what kind of punishment he would face.

As for going to the south to arrest people?

Don't be ridiculous, he and other tribesmen, a total of 5,000 people, were evacuated for seven days before, and those caught were either injured or escaped.

There is no core force of the Xin family at all.

I couldn't catch it before, let alone now.

It is better to consider what instructions the gods have and what he will rely on to avoid punishment in the future.

As for the food supply problem in the south, the southern nobles should just take care of their own affairs.

It is shameful to escape, but it is useful.

At least you are open-minded and don't have to worry.

After Taogui's divination, he retreated to Dingxiang, and then arranged for thirty or fifty people. From time to time, he hung the Xin family flag he captured near Dingxiang and lit it to show that he still had enemies here.

He was dragged.

Leave the rest of the mess to others.

He shrank down to preserve his strength.

Inexplicably, the Xin family became a "permanent haunt" in Dingxiang.

Then Taogui waited for news from the north and the south to pass through him.

The Xin family is getting angry! Three thousand people rushed into the Lingqiu battlefield. It was said that the city was about to be captured. Daidi and Huodi each sent 800 people, basically squeezed to the limit, and rushed to Lingqiu.

Taogui heard the news about the Lingqiu copper mine again. His teeth suddenly clashed and he cursed angrily: "Why did those elders rush to Lingqiu to arrange manpower for what? It turned out to be for the copper mine!"

No wonder the Xin family wanted to send out three thousand men to attack, but it turned out to be a copper mine!

oops! Copper mine! When I was asked if I wanted to go to Lingqiu, I should have agreed! Too bad for me! "

……

Just when Taogui was lamenting his loss, the time had come to the third day of October.

Lingqiu battlefield.

The weather is getting colder and the wind is getting biter.

The sky is covered with rolling clouds, and frost hangs on the branches and quilts.

He exhaled a breath and looked at the mist in front of him.

Xinqu listened to the commotion outside and the man who was quickly escorted to kneeling in front of him. "You can't kill me! I am a noble of the Weishao clan!"

The guy who was pinned to the ground struggled, and when Xin Qu heard Wei Shao's words, he felt a little dazed.

I haven’t heard the sound of spoon for several years.

He lowered his head and glanced at the person who was being pinned down. He was about forty years old, had gray hair, and was dressed in white clothes. He was dressed in a typical Shang aristocratic style.

"Chief, the copper mines on the mountain have been cleared. According to the information collected, the amount that can be mined is more than 200,000 kilograms of copper." Gulu Yiwei reported to Xinqu.

Although Gulu Xiaogui preferred Xinqu as his successor, Xinqu was the clan leader after all, and he also dominated the concept of iron weapons. Therefore, Gulu Xiaogui still looked for the most suitable one among his descendants from the Gulu lineage.

Take him with you and teach him personally.

And this person is Gulu Yiwei in front of him.

He is only twelve years old this year, but his expression is quite calm.

"Are you sure?" Xin Qu asked with a smile.

"Yes." Gulu Yiwei nodded, "Of course, there may be more deep in the bottom layer, but we can't mine it now. The tools and strength are not enough.

However, there is one more thing. "

Gulu Yiwei touched his robe and took out a bunch of things.

"Put it down! You damn! Dirty slaves! Put it down!"

The nobles on the ground were screaming.

Xin Qu glanced at it and moved it in his hand: "Tsk, tsk, it's interesting. You must have spent a lot of effort to make this copper wire."

The nobleman of the Weishao clan was stunned for a moment, then stared at Xin Qu: "So what?! Put it down! This is mine..."

"Clan leader, in addition to copper wire, I also want this."

Gulu Yiwei took out some armor pieces.

Xinqu just glanced at it, and then looked at the Weishao noble: "Stone armor? Don't you think it's heavy?"

Yes, the thing Gulu Yiwei took out from behind was clearly a piece of stone armor.

"Barbarians! What do you know?!"

The nobleman of the Weishao clan snorted coldly: "Ignorant barbarians! These are all... Huh, what's the use of telling you so much."

Xinqu groaned and showed a clear look: "Isn't this thing just a funerary object for you to wish you could see the gods after your death? It's a pity, we have used this method before, but it didn't work."

"How could you... No! You're talking nonsense! The great witch I hired will definitely not be wrong in the divination! I will prepare for ten years! Ten years!" The Weishao noble suddenly became excited.

Obviously, Xin Qu guessed it right.

This thing is the prototype, or predecessor, of the Golden Jade Clothes.

It's really for burial.

"Clan leader, how should we deal with this person?" Gulu Yiwei looked at Xin Qu with admiration, and in just a few words, he guessed the truth.

Xinqu took the stone piece and looked at it again. It was indeed a typical jade polishing and drilling technique. Only then was he more certain that the things in front of him, as well as the golden copper wire in his hand, were the technique of gold thread jade clothing. .

"Hey." Xin Qu played with the stone in his hand, "If you want to live forever or become a god after death, I have the Xin family to help you.

And I have a martial arts book called "Gymnastics". If you practice it every day, it can prolong your life and ensure that you live to sixty.

Also, I have an appointment with the Emperor of Heaven, and I can enthrone those who have made great contributions to the Xin family as earthly beings. After they pass away, they can pursue the true godhood, so they can escape from reincarnation, step into bliss, and become immortal.

Want it? "

The nobleman of the Weishao clan looked at him blankly: "Why should I trust you?"

"Oh, pull him down, give him ten sticks first, and then pull him back to talk." Xin Qu waved his hand.

"Wait! Hey - ah!" Before the nobleman of the Weishao clan could finish speaking, he was pulled out and beaten ten times with a stick.

"Clan leader, will it be broken? This man is very skilled." Gulu Yiwei was a little nervous.

This is copper wire! Being able to smelt and forge copper wire of this specification, the bronze ratio alone is enough for all forces to treat this nobleman with caution.

Not to mention beating him up.

"Don't worry, even if you get beaten to death, it won't matter. Our focus now is on iron, and copper is not the mainstream. We can spend more time slowly figuring out the formula and trial and error.

So you can't use it for me, even if you kill it. "

After Xin Qu finished speaking, the nobleman of the Weishao clan who had been beaten ten times was pulled in and thrown to the ground.

He also heard Xin Qu's words, and now he felt like his hair was standing on end.

Death, so close again!
