Marigold. When Fu Shi tried to say these two words, he felt embarrassed, it was too tacky. She didn't have a big name, because the woman's big name was basically useless, and military commander Fu Yanqing didn't bother to give it to her; only the nickname was Jinzhan... Someone called her big Jinzhan when she was a child, and it was even worse.

When Fu Shi was born, Fu Yanqing was very happy and took a golden cup and gave her as a toy to play with. Then the nurse called her Jinzhan first, and later the elders close to her also called her, becoming her nickname. Fortunately, I heard that there are children from ordinary people called Gougan Shugen, saying that the lower the name, the easier it is to feed; the big Fu family is embarrassed to do this, and took a calendula and barely made it.

This nickname has not been called for many years, and now even her father Fu Yanqing would not call it that. Both the nurse and the biological mother passed away. Perhaps only Fu Yanqing remembered the name, but who knows if he forgot. The emperor didn't know the name anyway.

No need to write anything, just tell Jingniang that these two words are the answer. Fu Shi knew how to write secret letters, but she had never written them before, and she didn't keep the things she sent, just remember it in her heart.

She believes that a person may find anything in his body, but no one can find anything in his heart. Only what you think in your heart can be unrestrained without any restrictions.

Although there are only two characters, Jingniang has to travel from Tokyo to Huainan to spread the letter. Maybe these two words contain a lot of content... At least Fu Shi thinks this nickname is more important. In this world, if Fu Yanqing forgets, then only she will remember it.

……

When Jingniang arrived in Yangzhou, Huainan, it was already September, and the season had entered late autumn and early winter.

Jinzhan, Jingniang also quietly explained in his ear: "It's her nickname."

Guo Shao understood immediately, and remembered that he wanted to know her name in the letter. Now that she said, not only did she prove that she was not angry at Guo Shao's rudeness, but responded to him... Before the Shouzhou war, Guo Shao was indeed in a depressed mood, regardless of any consideration, just an impulsive letter. . He thought he was going to die at the time, and it was okay to say something before he died.

When a person’s life is threatened, it’s easy to do things that you can’t do even if you’re afraid of things. It's okay to be hacked to death inadvertently. The process of knowing that you are going to die and slowly waiting for the moment to come is really scary.

However, it's all over now.

Jinzhan, there is too much in the two words. Guo Shao can think of something right away, but there are still some things that need to be tasted slowly.

Guo Shao sat by the window with his eyes closed and stopped talking. He didn't pay attention to Jing Niang for a while... Please let me indulge in fantasies.

...Unexpectedly, he hadn't fully felt the taste of it, but the report of the soldier disturbed his dream: the emperor summoned it.

Guo Shao quickly stood up and went to the bedroom to find an official uniform to change. After turning around, Jingniang and Yang were looking at each other and looked at each other. Guo Shao said: "This is Jing Niang, Yang Niangzi, you can trust her. I will go to the face first."

He took a personal entourage and rode with the generals who reported the news to yesterday's palace. But today it is not in the main hall, but in a smaller room that looks like a tea house.

There are no civil and military officials, there are two people in total: Chai Rong, who is sitting in front of a wooden table in the upper position, and Wang Pu, who is next to him... There is only one person beside the emperor, not Wei Renpu, but Wang Pu. Wang Pu should be in his fifties, but he looks very old.

He was summoned by the emperor in private. Guo Shao was flattered for a while and kowtowed: "The minister is called, and see your majesty, your majesty has no boundaries."

"Get up, get up." Chai Rong's words were not as dignified as usual, but rather gentle.

When Guo Shao got up cautiously, he looked at the emperor from the corner, but saw him with a deliberate smile...Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Guo Shao bit his scalp and hung his hands down, waiting for the emperor's question.

Unexpectedly, it was Wang Pu who spoke first. Wang Pu asked kindly: "I heard that General Guo hit Shouzhou and blasted the city wall several feet wide. It seems that he used'gunpowder' (gunpowder). Taoist alchemy term), how did General Guo do it?"

Chai Rong said straightforwardly: "Since ancient times, the generals have had some housekeeping skills, and the deputy envoy Wang must not ask strongly. If Guo Shao is unwilling to say it, then forget it."

Wang Pudao: "There are many important cities in Huainan. If they can be exploded according to the pattern, they can save a lot of time in Huainan, which is a matter of military strategy."

Chai Rong said: "Then you can't force others. If there is a city that can't be broken by then, just send Guo Shao."

Ancient military commanders have some housekeeping skills that are prepared to be passed on to the family. They are used to make things of the military commander’s family. They are absolutely unwilling to pass on to others; just like famous craftsmen from all walks of life, they will not accept apprentices. All teaching, some skills are passed down from generation to generation... It is said that Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty in later generations wrote down his training and management of the army because he had no descendants, otherwise it would be inseparable. Proclaimed personal skills.

That’s why Chai Rong was just twitchy. In fact, he is a military commander who respects his own family. Otherwise, once the emperor’s prestige is taken out, he has to say nothing.

Guo Shao finally understood what Chai Rong and Wang Pu wanted to do after listening to them singing and making a peace. This monarch and his ministers were really red-faced and white-faced duet, and they cooperated quite tacitly, as if they had rehearsed.

Nyma has only to say it, the emperor has that meaning, wants to toast and not eat fine wine?

No way, you can say it, but you have to hint at how painful you are to give up. Guo Shao looked pained, as if he wanted his heart. Chai Rong sighed twice when he saw it.

Guo Shao said: "It's not easy to get a minister..." He turned his head slightly.

Wang Pu immediately waved his hand to greet the two eunuchs at the door: "Go, go, go away."

At this time, Guo Shaocai said: "As long as your majesty needs it, the minister is willing to offer it to your majesty. But there are some things that I want to admonish..."

"But it doesn't matter." Chai Rong said generously.

Guo Shao said: "Your Majesty's rule of martial arts is not inferior to Tang Taizong. Naturally, he is not afraid of the northern nomad iron cavalry. You can break the nomadic cavalry's harassment by facing the army. But in the future, after your Majesty rule the world, the world will enter the balance to rule Future generations may be content with Chengping for a long time without knowing the soldiers; field battles are not good, and the only way to resist external humiliation is to rely on high walls and heavy cities. Once the law of destroying the city is passed on, it will be more difficult for future generations to defend the city. The right way is. A double-edged sword, sharp when used, accidentally hurts itself."

After listening, Chai Rong nodded in praise: "Zhao Kuangyin said you have the world in your heart, what did you say..."

Wang Pu said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

"Yes, yes." Chai Rong smiled, "You are reasonable, and this method cannot be leaked."

Guo Shao then said: "The ministers are usually interested in Taoism. Although they only know about it, they love to visit those high hermits. This method was obtained in Huashan. I just want to use my hand to blow up the city."

Guo Shao explained the preparation and proportion of gunpowder. Even the method of filtering saltpeter impurities and re-solidifying them by the method of boiling and crystallization is also mentioned. At that time, the gunpowder for the twelve coffins was rushed, and many soldiers participated in the production; Guo Shao did not explain the process, in case someone was asked, it would make the emperor unhappy... but he still kept a hand.

He neglected to say that it was a method of testing the power of gunpowder by the grouping method; this seems simple, but it is actually useful. Charcoal and sulfur have impurities. In fact, the ratio should change according to the place of production. Although the ratio of active ingredients is different, only Affects part of the explosive power. When the group test did not require too much manpower, only Zuo You and a few others were present.

There is another doorway, which Guo Shao deliberately didn't say. When he asked the soldiers to bury the gunpowder, he asked the soldiers to ram the soil on all sides in the tunnel, and then seal the tunnel with soil to airtight...Unless people with comprehension ability against the sky, who can understand the reason for this? Gunpowder burns and explodes. If it is not compacted, and the seal is deliberately paid attention to, the power of the explosion is hard to say.

It is not easy to know the formula of gunpowder, and it is not easy to succeed at once, and it is normal for people who have never done it before. Anyway, it doesn't matter what Guo Shao's affairs are at the time, it's that someone else didn't do a good job in some inexplicable places, and there is nothing wrong with the gunpowder itself.

Guo Shaoliu has considered the pros and cons. He originally thought it would be beneficial to the process of reunification by giving all the money and handing over to the imperial control, but he remembered Zhao Kuangyin...who knows what will happen in the future? Zhao Kuangyin is already an important minister of military commanders, and he might get these things in the future; without Zhao Kuangyin, there are other military generals who may be anti-purpose internally, and things are impermanent. Why not take a look at the situation first?

Guo Shao added: "You can't rely on this method too much when you siege a city. A big city with thicker walls and stronger than Shouzhou or the underground condition is not good, and it may not collapse. Occasionally, it may work well. Always use it. If this is the case, the generals defending the city must be prepared. They may not be able to bury the medicine at ease, and even if they explode with great effort, they may not be able to attack."

Wang Pudao: "General Guo's words are extremely true. The army wins with righteousness, and clever tricks can't be supplemented."

Chai Rong praised: "Guo Shao Zhongyong is commendable."

Guo Shao was happy after listening. The emperor's words sounded casually, but there was "loyalty" in the words of praise. The emperor has had too much time to reward the generals, and he is always a little particular.

At this moment, a civil official walked to the door and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Southern Tang State is here." Wang Pu was writing the content just now. At this moment, he stopped writing and turned to Chai Rong. Envoy Tang must have come to seek peace, or let him submit the letter first to see what the conditions are. Don’t rush to summon the minister of civil and military affairs."

Chai Rong nodded calmly. Only then did Wang Pu said: "Go and bring the envoy and let him submit the letter of credence."

Guo Shao said after hearing this: "My minister please leave."

Wang Pu said: "It's not a secret. It's better to be here today with General Guo." z
