I’m The King Chapter 1111: : East and West (104)

After drinking several jugs of wine in a row, Tan Feng was already a little drunk, and began to sing loudly while knocking on the plate. Tan Kang sat quietly opposite, listening to Tan Feng's passionate singing, looking at Tan Feng Tears rolled down the corners of the eyes, and I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart. My young master has regarded himself very high in his life, and few people can be admired by him, but he met his natural opponent Gao Yuan. In this life, he was crushed to death by his opponent Yes, seeing that the room for standing up is getting smaller and smaller. Although the young master has now become the great general of Daqin, Tan Kang knows that the young master is not happy in his heart. It can really make him happy, or only after defeating Gao Yuan time.

However, is this possible? With the development of the situation, Tan Kang feels more and more elusive about this goal. The strength of the opponent makes Tan Kang feel scared in his heart. Not to mention the armies of both sides, just to say As soon as he went out, he could see the overwhelming Han products, and Tan Kang felt terrified. Tan Kang was not an ordinary commoner. Following Tan Feng, he learned a lot of knowledge that people would never learn in a lifetime.

"Tan Kang, do you think I can defeat Gao Yuan in this lifetime?" Just as he was thinking, Tan Feng on the opposite side had stopped singing, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked while looking at Tan Kang .

"I can do it!" Tan Kang nodded again and again, "Gao Yuan is just lucky, the young master is gifted, as long as the luck comes, defeating the opponent is just a matter of flipping the ear."

Tan Feng rolled his eyes, "Tan Kang, you are not my subordinate, you are my family, do you have to flatter me like this? I hope to hear your truth."

Listening to Tan Feng's words, Tan Kang was moved and sad at the same time. There were not many people in the Tan clan who were able to escape with Tan Feng. Like him, the whole family fell into Jicheng , In the past few years, there has been no communication. In my own capacity, I think they are already gone.

"Master, the gesture is big, let's take it slowly, there is no chance!" He lowered his voice.

Tan Feng slapped the table, startled Tan Kang, but heard Tan Feng say: "Yes, this is the truth, the opposite gesture is big, but let's take it slowly, there is no chance, thousands of miles of long dikes, Destroyed by ant nests, the big ship of the Han Dynasty is full of holes. Gao Yuan is still digging holes in it. If we help him dig some more, the ship may sink at any time. Whether it works or not , we have to do it first."

"Young master is right!" Tan Kang said with a smile: "Gao Yuan is making some weird things, I really don't understand what he is doing, in this history, no matter who becomes the king, who is not desperate He wanted to keep all the power in his hands, but he felt that the power was too hot to handle, so he hurriedly distributed it, such a man who has lost his mind may not be difficult to deal with."

"Gao Yuan was originally such a strange person. He was different. It was his uniqueness that made Gao Yuan what he is today." Tan Feng said thoughtfully: "But his political His actions are always digging his own grave. What he wants to do is actually not groundless. There are indeed such records in ancient times, but with the development of history, this system has been proven to be unfeasible. When foreign enemies come, it is impossible for this system of decentralized power to open a fist to the outside world, so it is inevitable to be eliminated by history. In fact, it is already beginning to see signs."

"Oh, is there any sign of civil strife in Han now?" Tan Kang was very interested.

"There may not be internal chaos, but the evil consequences of the separation of powers designed by Gao Yuan have already begun to appear." Tan Feng took a sip of wine lightly, "When their big council convened, it almost became a vegetable market , Members are like shrews cursing the street, and even fighting these jokes on the spot, have you heard of it?"

"Well, I've heard some, but it's just gossip, I thought it was just a joke!" Tan Kang said.

"It's not a joke, it's true." Tan Feng smiled and said: "The latest information I got is that their Minister of War, Ye Zhong, proposed a new fiscal year, um, they mean a new fiscal year In the new fiscal year, the army's budget was rejected by the Great Council. The Great Council cut Ye Zhong's budget by more than a third, and Ye Zhong was so angry that he slapped the table in the Great Council and scolded these members If you forget the battle, you will be in danger. But these congressmen are turning a deaf ear."

"Cut the army's budget by a third?" Tan Kang looked at Tan Feng in surprise, "That Gao Yuan doesn't care."

"Gao Yuan doesn't care. According to intelligence, Gao Yuan claims that the Great Council is the highest legislative and deliberative body. Since the Great Council has rejected the proposal of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War must obey it."

"God! It seems that Gao Yuan is really crazy."

"Xia Chong is indescribable, what kind of people are these congressmen, what do they know? Gao Yuan actually wants to rely on such people to govern the country, it is really wishful thinking, they probably think that the Han army is already invincible, but They forgot that although Daqin suffered heavy losses, the background is still there. Daqin has only lost the fruits of fighting over the years, but its homeland has not been damaged at all. , while the Chu State in the south has a larger territory than Qin State and more people than Qin State. They are like a sick lion. The only one who didn't provoke it was the state of Chu, but now, Gao Yuan is constantly teasing this sick lion. Now the people of insight in the state of Chu finally realized the great threat of the state of Han , Huang Xie, Qu Zhong, these people are all outstanding people in the world, how can they sit back and watch the threat of the Han Dynasty? The general environment for Qin and Chu to join forces has basically been formed. What everyone needs now is nothing more than time. Da Qin needs time to recuperate. The pain of a big defeat, and Chu State also needs time to manage internal hidden dangers. When everything is ready, it will be time for the war to start again. At this time, Han State actually relaxes its military department and cuts its military budget. This is not self-destruction." Tan Feng laughed, "When we are raising our troops, they are preparing to release the horses to Nanshan, hahaha!"

"Or do they think that the current strength of the Han State is enough to win the war with us?" Tan Kang thoughtfully said, and regretted it as soon as he said the words. What?

I didn't expect Tan Feng to nod, but I nodded, "Your idea is indeed not wrong. As far as the current situation is concerned, the military strength and combat effectiveness of the Han army are indeed the strongest. And the guns they used against the Chu army in Kangping City The new weapons are even more shocking. I heard that this kind of thing is called explosives in the Han Dynasty.”

"Yes, young master, they have such powerful weapons, what can we use to resist them? Even the walls of Kangping City were blown down by hundreds of meters at once. They have such weapons, what kind of walls can stop them in the future Their attack?" Tan Kang's mood that had just been brought up was ruthlessly suppressed.

"No matter how powerful a weapon is, it still needs people to use it." Tan Feng said quietly, "After the battle of Kangping City, no matter whether it is our Great Qin or Chu, both sides are fully motivated To find out the secret of this weapon, no matter how tightly the Han State has kept it tightly covered, it is inevitable that there will be no omissions, and now there are finally some clues."

"We can also make this kind of weapon?" Tan Kang was overjoyed.

"You have a good idea!" Tan Feng tapped Tan Kang's head with his chopsticks with a smile, "This time the intelligence agencies of Qin and Chu have cooperated sincerely, and the two sides worked together, and finally found it." Some clues. The origin of this explosive comes from the alchemy technique of those wandering Taoist priests that we have seen a lot. Gao Yuan gathered a large number of alchemists and spent several years to develop this Such a powerful weapon, sometimes, I have to admire Gao Yuan!"

"Since the Han Dynasty can use Taoist priests to forge this weapon, so can we!" Tan Kang blurted out.

"Naturally, both Qin and Chu countries are secretly recruiting Taoist priests who are good at practicing alchemy to carry out research, but this is not a one-day effort. The Han Kingdom has spent several years for this. It's just one of the means of this weapon, and the fastest is..."

"The fastest way is to get it from Han!" Tan Kang blurted out.

Tan Feng nodded.

"It's just that since this kind of weapon is so powerful, the Han Kingdom will naturally cover it tightly, and their Overwatch Council is also powerful. I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to get it from them." Tan Kang thought for a while. , and shook his head again.

"That's not entirely true. Gao Yuan is sometimes very strange. Do you know that this year, oh, it should be last year, did he set off a grand fireworks for the birth of his third princess? Then The invention of fireworks originated from this secret weapon. In order to please Ning Xin, Gao Yuan actually made such a military weapon into a plaything, which is really painstaking." Speaking of Ning Xin, Tan Feng's expression is extremely complicated. , I have always admired Ning Xin the most, and once thought that I was the only one who could be worthy of Ning Xin, but later, I still lost my beloved.

"After this incident, fireworks have become a thing of the Han Dynasty. It is really not easy to buy, but for us, it is a breakthrough in the incident. Tell me, the breakthrough is in Where?" Tan Feng asked.

Tan Kang thought for a while, "Since the fireworks are a derivative of explosives, then the workshops that can manufacture fireworks and firecrackers are inseparable from where they can develop this weapon, at least there will be some business connections , if we want to get this thing, we can start from here!"

Tan Feng applauded lightly, "Well said. This is the starting point. The first step is to find a workshop for producing explosives, and then it is time to plan other things. In this world, only Nothing can be hidden tightly. As long as there is a gap, there will be a chance to sneak in, open a gap, and get what we need." (To be continued)
