Queen Mother's A Scientist

"Zhentianlei is still a semi-finished product. The proportion needs to be adjusted and matched with the corresponding catapult to give full play to its maximum power." Hua Qingxue held Li Jingnan's small shoulder and told him word by word, "what we need to do now is to continue to improve, and then give them a fatal blow at the best time, so that they don't dare to come back again!"

Li Jingnan looked at Hua Qingxue with red eyes.

Everyone in the camp dared not go out until Li Jingnan nodded slowly - everyone was relieved!

They were really worried that Li Jingnan would suddenly make trouble. No matter how young he was, he was the emperor after all. If Fu tingye was forced to send troops for war, Fu tingye would certainly disobey orders, and no one could be better in the end.

Fu tingye came over and patted Hua Qingxue on the shoulder. "Take the emperor up and rest in the back."

Hua Qingxue nods and leads Li Jingnan with a gloomy face to leave the camp.

The little bean hung his head and followed in silence.

The camp was quiet.

Strange silence

Qin Laowu laughed and said, "Miss Hua has a good relationship with the Emperor..."

A group of soldiers looked at each other and squeezed out smiling faces.

"Yes, the relationship is very good, ha ha..."

What else?

Say the little emperor counsels, or the Chinese girl is fierce—— It offends people anyway!

Fu tingye is calm and doesn't know what he's thinking.

……

Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan went to another camp for rest.

Li Jingnan looked gloomy and sat quietly in a chair.

Xiaodou touched the kettle on the table, poured out a glass of water, washed the cup first, poured another glass of water, and brought it to Li Jingnan respectfully.

Li Jingnan didn't move his face.

His eyes fell on the ground without focus, and the whole person seemed to have lost all his strength and spirit.

Xiaodou had to put his water cup on the table and stood aside in silence.

Under such circumstances, he did not dare to persuade, for fear of making the emperor more angry.

Hua Qingxue looks at Li Jingnan's unhappy appearance and feels bad, but she can't watch Li Jingnan act willfully in front of a group of Qi generals. He was not recognized by the ministers because he was young. If he makes an irrational decision, he will only be looked down upon more.

Daqi's map hung in the camp. She tiptoed, took down the map, spread it on the table and looked carefully.

After a while, a villain crowded around.

Hua Qingxue looks over her head and sees Li Jingnan.

He seems to have recovered a little. Although he still has no spirit, the haze at the bottom of his eyes is much less.

"What are you looking at?" Li Jingnan asked.

Hua Qingxue looked at him and said softly, "I know the former Emperor once ceded six prefectures to Daliao. I'm looking for which six prefectures."

Li Jingnan stretched out his hand to show her, "... Here... The six state capitals of Qin, Wei, yuan, Xi, he and Mo."

Although it is not his own country, Hua Qingxue also feels pain when he looks at a large area of land being delimited into the boundary of Liao Dynasty.

Li Jingnan painted another large area, "before these six prefectures were occupied, twelve prefectures were ceded because of their defeat and peace."

Hua Qingxue has another pain.

"Do you have a map of Daliao?" Hua Qingxue asked.

Li Jingnan was stunned, and Xiaodou looked at a loss.

This is the military camp. The boundary of the surrounding countries is the information that must be mastered. Hua Qingxue thought about it and went outside the camp to explain to the bodyguard. Before long, someone sent maps of Daliao and several small countries around.

Hua Qingxue wanted to compare these maps together. Because the map was too big to fit on the table, she simply put it on the ground.

From this comparison, it can be seen at a glance that Daliao has a huge territory and seems to be a hegemon in a circle of small countries around. It is stretching its power around with open teeth and claws.

The territory size of Daqi is second only to that of Daliao.

Hua Qingxue stretched out his hand and made a few gestures. If the 18 state capitals had not been ceded, the territory of the two countries would be almost the same.

Li Jingnan saw about Hua Qingxue's idea, and youyou said, "these 18 state capitals were lost from my father, so everyone thought that my father was confused."

"What do you think?" Hua Qingxue asked him.

Li Jingnan pursed her lips, shook her head and didn't answer.

"It's always difficult to have the best of both worlds in this world. The land cutting compensation is really bloodless, but I have to admit that the former Emperor did ensure the stable life of some people." Hua Qingxue tried to enlighten him, "the country is weak. The first Emperor didn't want to see innocent people affected by the war, so he would have this helpless move."

Li Jingnan said in a muffled voice, "if it were me... Even if I would lose, I would fight to the death!"

"Your Majesty." Hua Qingxue sighed softly, "you should learn to be an emperor, not a soldier. You should try to make the country strong and dormant, instead of showing off the courage of a reckless man when the country is weak. "

Li Jingnan's eyes were unwilling at first, and then confused.

Hua Qingxue looked at him with a soft look. She whispered, "for example, now, we should find a way to defeat the enemy, rather than rush over and expose our weaknesses to the enemy... That thunderbolt can scare them once or twice at most. Once in close combat contact, this new weapon will lose its function."

"You have a way, don't you?" Li Jingnan looked at her hopefully.

Hua Qingxue looked at the map and was silent for a while. He said, "the iron cavalry of the Liao people is frightening. If we want to resist the invasion of the Liao soldiers, we must first resist their iron cavalry. The power of zhentianlei is limited now. We need more gunpowder weapons... And an army with strong firepower."

It's just... She doesn't know if she's doing this right

This is not only a huge system, but also a huge project, which can not be completed overnight.

But if it can be completed, Daqi will definitely become the new overlord in this land.

... do you really want to do this?

Hua Qingxue stared at the map in front of her.

This kind of thing is by no means a small invention of handmade soap. Once those things appear in the world, she can't predict the consequences

Will the war end, or will it get worse?

……

Fu tingye walks in from the outside and sees Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan talking calmly beside the map. He is a little stunned.

In fact, he didn't quite understand why the manic little emperor would be very docile in front of Hua Qingxue.

Fu tingye's eyes fell on Li Jingnan. Thinking about his gaffe in the camp just now, he said, "the emperor doesn't have to worry too much. Wei Chen has asked the soldiers to practice the long knife array every day. Although the iron cavalry of the Liao army is powerful, it is not without weakness."

Both turned to look at him.

Li Jingnan's mood at this time has calmed down. With clear and black eyes, he asked him: "what is the long knife array?"

Hua Qingxue knows a little about the long knife array.

In ancient times, infantry with spears were the most powerful against light cavalry, because the infantry's spears could stab the horse's abdomen and put it down before the cavalry hurt itself.

When facing heavy cavalry, the spear doesn't work, because the heavy cavalry horse has armor on the abdomen. At this time, a long knife array is derived - cutting off the cavalry's legs with a long knife or axe.

However, when the two armies meet, whether the cavalry stabs the infantry first or the infantry cuts off the cavalry's horse legs first depends on the skills or luck of both sides.

The infantry trained by Fu tingye obviously have several brushes, otherwise the army led by Fu tingye will not be regarded as a thorn in the eye by the Liao soldiers and frequently come to provoke.

However, even such a method is only applicable to the situation that the number of people on both sides is almost the same. If this time, there are 60000 Liao troops and 40000 Qi troops, and the force gap is too large, the most powerful long knife array will be defeated.

"Liao people are naturally good at riding and shooting. They are strong and strong. We can only slowly figure it out. We can't be in a hurry for a while." Fu tingye said.

Seeing that Fu tingye also said so, Li Jingnan couldn't help being curious, "does the general think so?"

Also?

Fu tingye subconsciously looks at Xianghua Qingxue. Did she say the same to the little emperor?

Li Jingnan said: "my father praised general Fu for his bravery and fearlessness many times, and said that general Fu had never failed."

Fu tingye's solemn face rarely showed a smile, "the emperor knows, why have I never failed?"

Li Jingnan looked blankly, and even Hua Qingxue looked at him in amazement.

Fu tingye then said, "because I know I will lose the war, I won't fight."

Li Jingnan immediately widened his eyes, "general Fu will also withdraw?"

"If you know you will lose, of course you should retreat. After saving your strength, wait for the opportunity to find opportunities and create a winning situation for yourself." Fu tingye smiled at the bottom of his eyes. "Does the emperor think that we who fight in war are stupid people who can only rush forward?"

Li Jingnan was still in a daze, and Hua Qingxue puffed and laughed first.

Li Jingnan muttered, "when my father ceded six states, everyone said that if general Fu had been transferred to the North earlier, he would not have been defeated in a row..."

"No, even if I go, I will fail." Fu tingye shook his head. "A weak army will not become strong because of the arrival of a new general. Even the army I brought from the South has stumbled on the iron horse of the Liao army."

Fu tingye looked at little Li Jingnan and knew about Li Jingnan's heart knot. In a rare and gentle tone, he said, "the emperor doesn't have to be angry about it. The emperor of Liao is indeed a rare leader among the emperors of these generations. He intends to dominate the world. Not only is China ceding territory to the eighteen prefectures of Daqi, but also Nanzhao, Linyi, Wuge and other countries have suffered heavy losses, The state of Luo Ke has been destroyed and has become one of the state capitals of the Liao Dynasty. "

He stood next to Li Jingnan, looked down at the map pieced together on the ground, and said in a deep tone: "the last victory lost the face of Daliao, so they can't wait to win back and ensure that their dominant position will not be shaken, but they will eventually fail..."

Li Jingnan looked up at Fu tingye.

Fu tingye's eyes fell on Hua Qingxue at this time.

Li Jingnan's eyes lit up. He also looked at Xianghua Qingxue, "yes! They will fail! When zhentianlei is really completed, we don't have to be afraid of them anymore! Right, Hua Qingxue? "

Hua Qingxue looked at the two men, big and small, with an unconscious smile on his face, and then slowly nodded his head
