Chapter 79 Pingqiu

When Mr. Zou saw that Shu Yan was so sure, he immediately became suspicious and said, "How come the old lady knows so much in detail?"

Shu Yan swallowed his saliva and said: "That boy from Linxun had to climb up the pole to ask me to be his godmother. Naturally, I was afraid of his coming. As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of comes, and that Guo Shanhong has a lot of cavalry in his hands.

.”

Wang Longyun asked doubtfully: "Cavalry?"

Shu Yan nodded and continued: "And they have already mastered yellow gunpowder and cooked steel. I'm afraid they can produce cannons, but Fenyang's wall cannot last more than an hour."

Mr. Zou looked at Shu Yan pitifully.

"Did you, the old lady, teach you this?"

Shu Yan waved her hand and looked at Mr. Zou.

"Brother Zou, at that time Linxun put a knife on my neck, and he forced several of my sons to become the husbands of female bandits. How could I just sit back and ignore it?"

Mr. Zou snorted coldly.

Shu Yan continued: "But I do feel that they are not coming to Fenyang."

The old boy was not stupid at all, so he blurted out: "They are going to attack Pingqiu."

Pingqiu Copper Mine not only contains copper, but also iron and coal. Most of the Han army's artillery, muskets and weapons were forged here. This is a resource-rich area, and it is a strategically important place. If it is occupied, it can reach the north of the city in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

To the west of Luoyang is the hinterland of Xiliang. If the Han army loses this place, they will be in big trouble.

Pingqiu, as its name suggests, is very flat. There is only one flat hill in the west. However, there is a large city here. The city wall was built with cement at no expense. It is very strong and cannot be broken easily.

When Mr. Zou thought of this, he felt slightly relieved. He said, "General, don't worry. Although Pingqiu is at a disadvantage, the city wall is strong. Even if they use heavy artillery, they can't break the wall."

Shu Yan sneered.

"Heavy artillery can't break it, but what about the plague? Yingzhou floods, they come from the Huaihe River, and many people in the army are sick. If the plague spreads to Pingqiu..."

Mr. Zou sneered.

"Although I, Zou Shijie, am a scholar, I also know that the Xiliang army is not made of steel and can be infected by the plague."

Shu Yan laughed. It turned out that this person's name was Zou Shijie, which was really interesting.

"But I gave them the formula of the Thousand Gold Medicine. It takes half a month or several months to make the Thousand Gold Medicine, and the output is very small. I think they must have been preparing for a long time."

Zou Shijie clenched his fists and frowned.

After a long time, Zou Shijie finally said: "The old lady really gave me everything she had."

Shu Yan smiled.

"Brother Zou, Long Yun is my nephew after all, so I naturally want to help him. I have already prepared the formulas for the golden elixir, yellow gunpowder, and cooked steel."

Shu Yan took out the formula from his pocket and put it on the table nearby.

Zou Shijie took it out and looked at it carefully, but couldn't see why.

Shu Yan smiled and said, "Brother Zou is a scholar. He gets a headache after reading too much of this kind of stuff."

Zou Shijie threw the things aside in disgust, and Wang Longyun said: "Mr. Zou, I have sent some more people to investigate, and we will get back the news tonight. If it is as my aunt said, we will immediately set off for Pingqiu.

.”

Zou Shijie nodded and Shu Yan yawned.

"I've been feeling bored at home these days. Can you please let me go out and relax?"

Wang Longyun smiled and said: "Of course it's possible, Mr. Zou, please send someone to escort my aunt."

Zou Shijie snorted coldly and agreed.

Shu Yan returned to his room and saw Cheng San writing for the first time. Shu Yan moved forward and found that this guy's handwriting was quite good.

The pen moves like a dragon and a snake, giving it a rather domineering air.

Shu Yan couldn't help but joked: "Just looking at your words, I would think you are a overlord."

Cheng San smiled slightly and put down the pen. Shu Yan took a closer look and was shocked.

This guy writes that the world is a contract.

Cheng San said: "Son, I have thought about it carefully. If the emperor makes a contract with the people, the imperial power will protect the prosperity of the people, and the people will protect the imperial power forever. Is this a good strategy?"

This guy accidentally made a nondescript social contract theory.

But Shu Yan still couldn't help but said: "How many people can hear the emperor's voice? Even if everyone hears it, how many people can understand it? The territory of this dynasty is larger than that of the previous dynasty.

Many, is it because the founding emperor of this dynasty was more powerful?"

Cheng San was about to brag, but Shu Yan said: "Of course not, that's because this dynasty has introduced good horses from the Western Regions, the canal connecting the north and the south has been dug, and the speed of transmitting information has become faster, so the territory of this country will become larger.

.”

Cheng San was stunned on the spot, and Shu Yan patted Cheng San on the shoulder.

"Boy, everything is very complicated, and governing a country is especially complicated. The rise of a dynasty has a lot to do with the emperor, but it is not that big."

Cheng San was still thinking, but Shu Yan was impatient. She wanted to go out for a walk to see if the vegetable seller's place was still there, and to see if the people in the city could survive after the Sun family was skinned.

How many.

Shu Yan took Cheng San and a group of soldiers away from Sun's house. As soon as he left the house, he saw desolation in his eyes.

It turned out to be even more desolate than before.

Shu Yan and the others walked towards the vegetable market at the gate of the city. Apart from soldiers, there were not many living people on the road. However, there were quite a few soldiers carrying out corpses one by one.

Cheng San couldn't help but approach the soldiers in front of him.

"Aren't the blood-sucking bugs gone in the Sun family? Why are there fewer people in this city?"

The soldier said: "Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand? We don't have military pay."

Shu Yan was suddenly stunned. They had no military pay, so they raped and plundered on the spot. They happened to pass by the house from which they had borrowed water before.

Shu Yan and Cheng San pushed open the door curiously and saw only blood stains all over the yard. A woman was lying naked on the ground in the room with her eyes wide open. On the outside was her husband's body. Shu Yan didn't want to go back.

Seeing it, he took Cheng San away from here.

They continued walking forward and arrived at the vegetable market they had passed before. The place had been occupied by the army. Several shirtless soldiers were playing around a child.

When Shu Yan got closer, he saw clearly that this was the child from the two-legged sheep group who wanted to eat their horse.

The child's clothes were missing, and he was naked and watched by the soldiers.

A child fights with a dog.

A soldier said: "This dog grew up eating people, and this child also grew up eating people. Do you think dogs are more powerful, or people?"

The child roared and bit the dog's neck. Even though the dog bit his hand, he never let go.

This child seemed to be full of hatred, more like a beast than a beast.

Shu Yan was also stunned.
