Chapter 216 Tiaohu Lishan
"Young Master, all the artillery pieces have been built according to your requirements, and dozens of craftsmen are ready, ready to follow the Young Master on the expedition at any time!"
Three days later, Huang Yuan came to the other courtyard and reported to Xiao Zhengtai.
"Young Master, we have completed the tasks you gave us. The supplies have been placed in the warehouse and are ready to go at any time!"
Han Xin and others also surrendered and reported.
"Well, you did a good job!"
Little Shota was leaning back on the chair comfortably, sipping tea, and at the same time, he did not forget to shake his legs.
"After the expedition, Zhang Liang will be responsible for escorting the food, grass and medicines. We must not make any mistakes. I will leave the lifeblood of our army to you!"
Zhang Liang is prudent in his work, so it is appropriate to give him food and grass.
"Yes, young master, don't worry!"
Zhang Liang immediately handed over his hand and nodded in agreement.
"Yingchi, Wang Li, you two are responsible for supervising the craftsmen's production of ammunition!"
Xiao Zhengtai continued to explain.
"Young Master, you are lying. You clearly agreed to take us with you. Why are you leaving us two in Xianyang now?"
"Yes, the young master is biased. He takes a few of them to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he doesn't take us with him!"
After listening to the tasks assigned by Xiaozhengtai to the two of them, the two of them immediately stopped doing it.
Especially Wang Li, he is still counting on this expedition to make military exploits again, so that his father and grandfather will look at him with admiration!
But if he stayed in Xianyang, how could he make military exploits?
"When did I say that I would keep you here?"
Xiao Zhengtai showed a smile.
"Young master, don't deny it. You just said that you want us to supervise the craftsmen making ammunition!"
The two of them pursed their lips and looked unhappy.
"It's true that you are asked to supervise the craftsmen, but who said ammunition can only be produced in Xianyang?"
"There is only one arsenal in Xianyang, and there is no semicolon in other counties. If it is not produced in Xianyang, where else can it be produced?"
"The absence of a semicolon does not mean that it cannot be produced. The craftsmen I ordered Huang Yuan to select are all capable of making ammunition. When they arrive in the Xiongnu, they will build a simple arsenal on the spot to produce ammunition...!"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled and continued: "Artillery and mines are the key to our victory this time. They are also consumables. If you use one, you will lose one. If the rear supply is not timely, we will have to rely on manpower to fight hard, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
That’s why I want to build an arsenal in the Huns!”
"Haha! That's it, young master, you can rest assured to leave this matter to the two of us, and make sure it is completed beautifully!"
"Yes, young master, you can rest assured. I, Wang Li, will guarantee with my life that I will definitely take good care of the arsenal and will not delay the ammunition production progress!"
Hearing that he was not leaving them behind, the two of them immediately grinned.
No wonder the young master asked them to prepare some saltpeter, furnaces and other things. It turned out that they were going to be brought to the Huns to build an arsenal for use!
"Okay, as long as this matter is done well, I will give you two a credit!"
"Thank you young master, hehe!"
Now the two of them were even happier.
You don't have to go to the battlefield and you can still achieve great results. Where can you find such a good job?
"Okay, the army is about to go out, everyone should go back and pack your things!"
After explaining everything, Mr. Shota waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
"Young Master, the wing of Guanyi Station is on fire!"
As soon as everyone left, Cao Shen hurried back to report.
"The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain...!"
Xiao Zhengtai sneered: "Li Si wants to take advantage of the chaos to send those envoys out of the city. You won't be fooled, will you?"
"Don't worry, young master, we have already followed your instructions. We first pretended to be fooled and put out the fire, and then we will arrest them when they disguise themselves as leaving the city after rescuing them!"
The last time he came to report that those people were about to flee, Xiao Zhengtai had already guessed that they would use a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and told him to pretend to be fooled and catch them.
Sure enough, just two days later, they took action!
"Where are the people?"
"It has been sent to the palace!"
Cao Shen pointed in the direction of the palace.
"Okay, I guess my cheap dad is going to have a headache now!"
Little Shota suddenly laughed.
The prime minister under his command colludes with the enemy and commits treason, which is no different from plotting to usurp the throne, and is even more despicable than plotting to usurp the throne!
"Young Master... Hurry... follow me into the palace!"
The young lady still had a smile on her face, but she was dragged out by Jing Fu who suddenly rushed in.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, please slow down. My hand hurts when you pull it. What happened?"
Xiao Zhengtai asked knowingly and wanted to find out about Ying Zheng's current state.
"Ouch! You can't wait any longer. His Majesty read some letter in the palace. Suddenly he became very angry. He called all the ministers and asked you to go back by name. Young Master, you'd better hurry up and follow
My slave, let’s go, you’re late, Your Majesty will be blamed!”
Not only did Jingfula's little shota's hand not loosen, but her steps even sped up a bit.
Ever since he followed the emperor, he had never seen him so angry!
If the errand is not done well, the anger will inevitably be spread on him. Can his head be saved?
"What letter did you read? Where did this letter come from?"
After being dragged into the carriage, the young lady secretly smiled, then pretended to be serious and asked.
"My servants don't know that the soldiers at Guanyi tied up the Hun envoys and sent them to the palace. The letters were found from the arms of those envoys. Your Majesty became furious after reading them!"
Jing Fu was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat and he didn't know where to put his hands.
Upon hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Zhengtai's face.
It seems that Ying Zheng has seen the letter written by Li Si to the Xiongnu Chanyu, and the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason can no longer be escaped!
"Is that old guy Li Si going?"
"Your Majesty has ordered the ministers to be summoned. The Prime Minister must be on his way!"
Jingfu guessed.
"Li Si probably never imagined in his wildest dreams that this would be a Hongmen Banquet!"
"A banquet...? Don't be ridiculous, young master. Your Majesty is so angry. How can you hold a banquet? Impossible!"
Jing Fu didn't understand the meaning and waved his hand firmly.
Little Shota didn’t even explain!
Because this matter cannot be explained!
The Hongmen Banquet was set by Xiang Yu for Liu Bang in history, and because of his arrival, Ying Zheng's life span was extended, so there was no longer anything to do with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, let alone the Hongmen Banquet!
The carriage was speeding along. When the soldiers guarding the palace gate saw the carriage in the palace, they opened the palace gate without thinking.
"Your Majesty... the young master has arrived...!"
Before the carriage even stopped, Jing Fu pulled Little Shota out of the carriage, then trotted all the way to the outside of Qilin Hall and announced loudly.
He thought his speed was fast enough, but he didn't expect that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were already halfway there.
His voice attracted everyone's attention!
"What are you thinking about? Let that kid come in quickly!"
Ying Zheng shouted angrily.
"yes!"
Chapter completed!
