Country and Beauty

After two days of travelling, Xie Fei finally arrived at the Dai Mei Mountain, and the distance from there to Luoyang was only 60 li. Xie Fei saw that it was already late, and the mountain range that was faintly discernible in front of them, even if they were to run at full speed, it would be difficult for them to reach the Luoyang, so he ordered: "Our army will rest in the empty land at the foot of the mountain for the night, we will continue our journey tomorrow!"

After the troops were stationed, they set up a few simple military tents. Smoke curled up into the air and rose into the air. The words were true. The Black Shirt Army cavalry and the female soldiers were busy with their own line of people, cooking quickly, reorganizing the troops and organizing the supplies, all of them were busy, with people coming and going, whispering to each other. He was not the least bit tired.

After resting for a while, Xie Fei led a group of guards and Beigong Chun on a tour of the camp, and went to a slope outside the camp, enjoying the tranquility and peace of the forest, as well as the tranquility of the night sky.

Beigong Chun said with relief: "General, look, this place is not far from Luoyang. I believe that even if we were to be ambushed, nothing big would happen in a short period of time."

"Let's hope so!" Xie Fei laughed, then paused for a while, and continued: "Even so, you must not be careless, you must know, half of our family background is here ah!" Beigong Chun suddenly heard footsteps from behind him. He did not need to turn around to know who was behind him. Beigong Chun said shamelessly, "She's here. General, please don't pretend to be serious! She was indeed a good friend and confidant, but the rest was inappropriate! If the Princess knew about this, he would probably fly into a rage. This general has long experienced the strength of the Princess. I hope that the General does not go astray with hatred! "

"F * ck off!" Xie Fei took the chance to look, and saw that Yu Mei and the rest were headed towards him. He retorted unhappily: "Come on, you think you're like me, you're full of nastiness!"

"Hehe" Beigong Chun did not reply and laughed foolishly. Then, he waved to the guards beside him, turned and left while the rest of the guards followed. It could effectively deal with sudden situations, and also gave Xie Fei enough space to do so.

Yu Mei slowly walked closer and looked at the figure on the ground. She asked gently, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, just rest and enjoy a moment of peace." Xie Fei turned and smiled towards Yu Mei as he nodded his head, then sat down, patted on the dust off the stones beside him, and called out: "Sit!"

Yu Mei hesitated for a moment, but still sat down. She only squatted, and she was not directly sitting on a rock like Xie Fei!

The night was quiet, the night was cold!

After chatting for a while, Xie Fei talked about the local customs and customs of the Luoyang. Hearing this, the village girl, Yu Mei, became extremely curious and after a moment of silence, she laid flat on the ground with her limbs out. Looking at the glittering stars in the night sky, he said rather sorrowfully, "Tell me." If only everyone could get along in harmony and enjoy the tranquility of the night sky! "Why do you always fight and kill!"

Yu Mei was sorrowful after hearing that. She rested her left elbow on her knee and turned her head to look at Xie Fei as she rested her jade-like cheek in her palm. She said seriously: "Today's war is for tomorrow's peace! For the sake of their respective responsibilities and ideals, they would fight to the death. This was something that no one could prevent or avoid. After all, no one wants to be a slave, and no one doesn't desire freedom! "

Yu Mei felt wronged and asked again, "Does General not care about the fiery citizens?"

After a moment of silence, a wave of faint sighs arose and the atmosphere once again descended into silence. At this moment, the two of them really did not think about the gender aspect. They both knew it was impossible, but they enjoyed this rare warmth. After all, the difference in status between the two was too great. If it were any other person, the difference in their level and position would have been too great, making it difficult for them to accomplish this feat.

The next day, Xie Fei led the troops and continued towards the Luoyang. Around noon, Xie Fei and the rest finally returned to Luoyang.

Everything in the world was lacking, so there was no lack of wolf friends. When Xie Fei's Black Shirt Army's female barracks appeared in front of the west gate, countless citizens swarmed in from all over the streets like floodwaters, competing to watch! Of course, most of them were men; Xie Fei faced them the moment he entered the Luoyang. Upon seeing this scene, his brows furrowed as he gave the order, "Armoured Cavalry, move out of the way and return to the camp!"

All of a sudden, the Luoyang was in an uproar, all kinds of discussions and comments were flooding the Luoyang.

When Xie Fei returned to the General's Residence, he ordered Bai Pei Xian to take care of the orders for the Black Shirt Army's military uniform.

Because they had been together for a long time, Xie Fei realised that Pei Xian had talent in internal affairs, but it was a bit on paper when it came to military affairs. A person would try their best to make the best use of the treasure, which was Xie Fei's greatest strength. Xie Fei's current army size was more than 39,000 infantry members (including more than 33,000 active troops recruited, and more than 3,000 original infantry garrisoned in the third battalion of the Qu Yang). The Holy Wolf Army had more than 16,000 cavalry, of which more than 2000 were Balu warriors, more than 7000 were fresh poor tribesmen, and 7000 were Han New Army. The Black Shirt Army's cavalry numbered twenty thousand, while the female barracks numbered over forty-seven hundred. In total, there were nearly eighty thousand troops.

Xie Fei was very clear that it was not enough for such a large army to go to the Central Plains. In the history, there were only three hundred thousand Steel Cavalry from the inferior clans and they were defeated, not to mention there were only eighty thousand of them. In order to get things done once and for all, Xie Fei ordered Pei Xian to customize four hundred thousand sets of military uniforms, of which two sets of winter and two sets of summer uniforms were enough for a hundred thousand troops.

Xie Fei now had a lot of silver, but this was the same as last time, because the Black Shirt Army needed a lot of cloth, for a time, it was Luoyang's cloth.

However, because Xie Fei's cannon was such a huge object that appeared in the Luoyang, it was not easy to make it in secret. For Xie Fei, there were no technical difficulties in making cannons, he only needed time. However, for light firearms, it was even harder than making cannons.

Although it was easier to make the spear, Xie Fei knew that it was useless. Xie Fei knew about the invention of this tubular firearm in the Song Dynasty. Using the huge bamboo barrel as the body of the gun, the inside is filled with gunpowder and nests -- bullets. After igniting the lead, gunpowder erupts and ejects the "nests", with a range of 150 steps (approximately 230 meters). It was the first rifle in the world to fire a bullet. The basic shape of the gun was as follows: the front section was a thick bamboo tube; the middle section was a gunpowder chamber with a small fire hole in the outer wall; and the back section was a wooden stick. When it was fired, it would use the wooden stick to lean on the ground, use its left hand to support the iron pipe, and ignite the flame with its right hand. With a loud sound, it shot out rocks or bullets, and the unburned gunpowder gas shot out two or three meters from the muzzle. First of all, due to the ratio of the raw materials for gunpowder, its propelling force was rather limited, its range was less than 100 meters, and because the shooting method was very stiff, it was impossible to use the modern "3 point 1" style of aiming, so, for a 20-man gun team, it was already considered fortunate that they could fire 5 people at a time, of these 5 bullets fired, 2 wouldn't fall until they reached the enemy, and in front of the enemy, another bullet could fly past the enemy's side, and the final bullet, because the enemy's armor was too strong. In short, deterrence, deterrence.

However, although the Burst Fire Spear was useless, Xie Fei immediately thought that although it was unrealistic to make modern rifles and machine guns with the techniques of the time, it was a different story when it came to the birdshot. The birdshot had a long barrel, a smaller caliber, and it could shoot round lead bombs with the same caliber, with a higher penetration force; Also known as beak blunderbuss because the machine is shaped like a beak. Its basic structure and shape are close to modern rifles, and are the rudiments of modern rifles.

The difficulty of making bird-rod was that the barrel needed to be made of refined iron. Although the technology of smelting iron had been invented since the Western Han Dynasty, because steel had better physical, chemical and mechanical properties than the original pig iron, it was quickly widely used. However, due to the restriction of technical conditions, the application of steel was always limited by the output of steel, until the eighteenth century after the Industrial Revolution, the application of steel had a rapid development. Right now, Xie Fei had almost a hundred thousand kilograms of Damascus Steel, as long as he refined it slightly, he would be able to obtain alloy steel. Therefore, the first problem that Xie Fei faced with was solved easily. However, without the modern machine tool, Xie Fei still had no idea how to make the barrel of the gun.

Xie Fei had drawn up a picture of a bird's rod, Xie Fei had changed it to be called a stink fire, the ratio of diameter to length of the bird's rod was sixty-five to one, the slender rod tube allowed the gunpowder to burn sufficiently in the barrel, producing a large amount of thrust, the initial speed of the shot was large, obtaining a low extended trajectory and a longer range, and lastly, it was different for the ignition engine, using the fire rope as a fire source, pulling the trigger, not only was the fire source not easy to extinguish, but also increased the firing speed, increasing the killing power.

Xie Fei brought a face full of dejection and blueprints to the armory. When Xie Fei arrived at the armory, Wang Tiehan, who had already received the news, quickly led a group of blacksmith masters to wait for Xie Fei's arrival.

Xie Fei explained the doubt in his heart to Wang Tiehan. Wang Tiehan looked at the blueprint, thought for a while, and said: "According to General, it is indeed quite difficult, but it is not impossible. We just need to roll the fine iron into two metal pipes, one big and one small.

Xie Fei said: "Slow is fine, you can only follow the blueprints and produce the things I need, you have done a great deed!"

Just then, Xie Fei's guard came over to report: "General, this general has something to see you about!"

Xie Fei used a great deal of willpower to come out from the room and closed the door. He turned around and saw Beigong Chun standing respectfully not far away.

Xie Fei walked to Beigong Chun's side and said snappily: "Why do you guys always come and disturb me at critical moments?"

Beigong Chun laughed, as though he was simple and honest, but his eyes revealed a mischievous look. These elders of the Black Shirt Army had stayed with Xie Fei for a long time, so they knew Xie Fei's temperament very well.

Xie Fei walked out of the arena and directly headed towards the living room on the front courtyard with Beigong Chun following closely behind. Along the way, whenever Xie Fei asked Beigong Chun something, Beigong Chun would stutter for a long time and not say what any of them were thinking. Xie Fei's heart rose with suspicion, and he used a sharp gaze to stab Beigong Chun: "General, someone is asking to see you, but he doesn't say what it is!"

Xie Fei nodded, then revealed a smile and said: "Alright, I want to see who exactly that person is!"

went into the living room and saw an extremely ordinary looking young man. When it came to his appearance, Xie Fei did not know how to describe it, but it belonged to the type of person that you would forget after just a glance, the type of person who would throw it away in a pile of people. Just by looking at it, one would not be able to tell that it was him.

When the man saw Xie Fei, he became agitated and quickly knelt to pay his respects.

Xie Fei sat down on the side of the table, and Beigong Chun stood beside him, secretly gripping the blade's handle, if the other party made a move, Beigong Chun had the confidence to kill him immediately. At this time, Xie Fei said: "Stand up, you want to see this general, what do you want?"

The man signaled Xie Fei with his eyes to get out before he said anything. Xie Fei smiled slightly: "The General of the Northern Palace is not an outsider.

That person hesitated for a moment and said, "Reporting to the general, this subordinate is Number 371, Zhuang Yang. Under the orders of Supervisor Hong, I have come to pass the news to the general!"

Xie Fei remembered that ever since the establishment of the Blood Slaughter Shadow Intelligence Group, he had only sent out one order, and that was to gather the reason for Liu Cong's withdrawal and the current movements of the Huns. Xie Fei only stayed in the Luoyang, and it was not as simple as just training his troops. Of course Xie Fei wanted to leave the Luoyang, and head to the Cyan Plains, which was far away from the Emperor. However, Xie Fei was also worried, if he had already left, the Huns would have attacked him again. If he knew the reason for Huns's retreat and their current movements, Xie Fei would of course not worry about him anymore.

"Oh!" Hearing that, Xie Fei's mood changed, at this time, Xie Fei said: "Where is the message?"

Zhuang Yang hurriedly brought up a bamboo tube that was sealed at both ends with a fire lacquer. The bamboo tube was as thick as a thumb, and the letters were rolled into a roll inside the tube. The two ends were sealed with fire paint, and according to the marks on the bamboo tube, only specific people had the right to open and read the letters.

Xie Fei opened the fire lacquer and took out the silk letter. Beigong Chun secretly examined the contents of the letter and after reading it, his brows slightly furrowed, only to see it written: "Discussion on the first volume, two verses thirty-seven, history, third period."

Beigong Chun curled his lips, and said disapprovingly: "I thought it was some kind of important information, so it turns out to be something that's not important."

Hearing that, Xie Fei rolled his eyes at Beigong Chun. Actually, what was this thing that was unrelated and important, it was just that in order to ensure that the information would be accurately delivered to him, Xie Fei had specially designed the password. Since then, only the person who wrote the secret letter would know the content of the information, and the person who received the information. Even if the enemy intercepted the information, the information would not be lost.

What Xie Fei saw was different from what he saw. Xie Fei knew that it was written on it was the death of the Hunchbacked Emperor, Liu Yuan, and the ascension of the Crown Prince, Liu X.

And then, they started to exterminate all the enemies, slaying King Anchang, Liu Sheng, King Anyi, King Yongan, Liu Yu, and King Lu, Liu Long. And, King Qin, Liu Cong had gone all the way to the Pingyang to seize power, there was no end to the internal strife between the two parties, and the number of casualties was extremely high! "

Xie Fei was secretly excited in his heart, and shouted loudly: "The heavens are truly helping me!"

Xie Fei put down the letter and had Beigong Chun find Xun Chuo, Pei Xian and Ning Dan to discuss the countermeasures.

With the Huns in disarray, Xie Fei no longer worried. It was time to take back the Qing, Yi, and You prefectures.

Xie Fei said to Zhuang Yang: "Tell Superintendent Hong to send people to train the carrier pigeons as soon as possible!"

Zhuang Yang agreed, then he turned around and left.

After Xie Fei's three strategists gathered together, they had a round of greetings. Then, they discussed their plans for reclaiming the Azure Province and the Huns in the study room of the general's mansion.
