Chapter 148 Mo Yu
"The Northern Di army is approaching the city of Yanguan?"
It was noon. Read
Zhao Xu ordered the kitchen to prepare a few dishes, and drank with Mo Yu in the pavilion of the palace.
After hearing what Mo Yu said, he was surprised.
"The Northern Di people asked the emperor to hand over Kutu, otherwise they would attack the city." Mo Yu sighed.
Zhao Xu frowned, "I didn't expect that a Kutu would make the Northern Di people so mobilized."
"Müller Hongzhen, this evil wolf, has always been revengeful. This is just the beginning. Your Highness, you should be careful." Mo Yu said in a low voice.
Zhao Xu drank the wine in the cup, "As long as Yanguan is not broken, this king will be safe for the time being."
When mentioning Yanguan, Mo Yu sighed, "As long as my father is here, Yanguan will be safe, but now there are so many people in the capital who are eyeing this position. They regard Yanguan as a tool for fighting for power and profit, but they don't know that if Yanguan is lost, Dasong will be in danger."
Then he said: "It's better not to mention it. Since I have followed your highness, I will follow your lead in the future."
Zhao Xu nodded.
It is difficult for him to interfere in the affairs of the court, after all, he has no say in the court.
"In this case, Captain Mo just needs to work under my command. If Yanguan is lost in the future, I will definitely not sit idly by."
"Yes, your highness." Mo Yu said.
He came to join the King of Yan this time, one is his father's intention.
The other is that he was extremely shocked after seeing the King of Yan's army in person in the last battle.
During this period, he would recall the silver steel torrent every night.
If he could lead such an army to fight against the Northern Di, he would have no regrets even if he died.
The two were drinking.
At this time, someone came to report that Chang Wei had returned.
Zhao Xu said, "You came just in time, let him in."
Not long after, Chang Wei came and saw him.
When he saw Mo Yu, he exclaimed, "Captain Mo, why are you here?"
Zhao Xu then told him about Mo Yu.
"It's ridiculous. Captain Mo also made contributions to the great defeat of the Northern Di. Why did you demote the captain's official position?" Chang Wei's face flushed.
"This is a conspiracy in the court. Let's not mention this matter again. From now on, you and Captain Mo will jointly command the royal army." Zhao Xu said.
"General Mo is famous, and a tiger father will have a dog son. Captain Mo is too subservient to be under my command. I might as well give up my position and assist Captain Mo. "Chang Wei said.
Mo Yu was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, "General Chang, you are putting me on the fire. My father once said that although I was in Yanguan, I was not as good as you in actual combat. How dare I overstep my authority to surrender to Your Highness today? I am only willing to serve under you."
Zhao Xu smiled and nodded.
If Mo Yu was not humble at all, he would have to consider whether to keep him.
After all, Chang Wei was tested by him and he was a trustworthy person. No one could replace him.
Now it seems that he is still a sensible person.
He is not arrogant because he is the son of Mo Di.
Chang Wei pushed several times, and Mo Yu shook his head repeatedly. Finally, he said: "If the general does this again, Mo Yu will go to the capital."
Seeing that Mo Yu was determined not to do so, Chang Wei had to stop.
When he was in the imperial army, Mo Yu's official position was higher than his.
So he pushed like this, he said: "In this case, we will work together to serve your highness. "
"Okay. "Mo Yu raised his glass.
Chang Wei also raised his glass at this time, and the two drank it all.
Zhao Xu looked at the two and said to Chang Wei: "In this case, Mo Duwei will be handed over to you. I will be your deputy for the time being."
"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei said.
He felt that this position was just right, after all, Mo Yu was a Duwei in Yanguan.
And because he had been with Mo Di for a long time, he was more familiar with military affairs.
Now that the royal palace's personal army has expanded to 60,000, he is indeed a little too busy to handle it alone.
With Mo Yu here, he can be more relaxed.
Mo Yu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Xu's eyes.
He was grateful in his heart, and he said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."
"I trust people when I employ them, and I don't employ people if I don't trust them. This is the temperament that I still have. "Zhao Xu said.
In the last military purge, the dishonest generals were subdued by the soldiers.
This is enough to illustrate a problem. His prestige in the army is enough to erase the influence of the generals on the soldiers.
The soldiers will not follow the generals to rebel against him.
This is the embodiment of the advantages of his mass line.
His influence is deep in the hearts of every soldier. They are fighting for the King of Yan.
This is the slogan they shouted.
The ancient tradition of soldiers being owned by generals does not work here.
This is also the reason why he dares to use Mo Yu.
In the current army, Apart from Chang Wei, there is really no one who is more skilled in military than Mo Yu.
After all, Mo Yu was born in a general family and has been familiar with military books since childhood.
According to Chang Wei, the people in the army are also very optimistic about Mo Yu.
Therefore, he also intends to use a deputy general position to exchange his loyalty.
Agreed on this matter.
Zhao Xu asked Chang Wei to take Mo Yu back to familiarize himself with the military camp and start recruiting new soldiers.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came, and he was startled.
Chang Wei and Mo Yu were shocked.
Zhao Xu thought for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay, there have been such noises in the past few days."
Weapon Department.
Wang Ying, who was making a clay cannon with the potter, was so scared that he almost broke the clay core in his hand, and his ears were deaf and trembling.
"This evil creature." Wang Ying stared at the direction where the loud noise came from and gritted his teeth.
This is a good thing Wang Chong did.
After the King of Yan left that day, Wang Chong became serious about black gunpowder.
Every day, he grinds charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter, then mixes and explodes.
He kept saying that it was a secret mission given to him by the King of Yan.
He was just thinking about whether to give Wang Chong a lesson with a stick.
Suddenly, he saw Wang Chong running out of a small courtyard.
This was the courtyard he specifically asked to go to.
"It's done, it's done." Wang Chong shouted as he ran.
His face was dark, like a madman.
Wang Ying was furious when he saw it, although he was also a person who didn't care about his image.
But Wang Chong was simply too embarrassed for him.
The most important thing was that he and the potters were also scared.
It almost broke the clay cannon that was about to succeed.
"Are you crazy?" Wang Ying was angry and pointed at Wang Chong, "Do you want to blow up the Bingzhang Division? The noise is getting bigger day by day."
Wang Chong laughed, "The big noise proves that the kid did it right."
Then the task that the King of Yan gave him was nothing else, but to make black gunpowder.
According to the King of Yan, the power of the black gunpowder in Dasong has not reached its maximum.
So the King of Yan gave him a rough ratio and asked him to try it.
He has been trying to figure this out for the past two days.
Today, the same amount of gunpowder finally produced the loudest explosion.
"I won't talk to you anymore. Your Highness has finished my work. Father, you still have a lot to do. You are too slow." Wang Chong said with a grin.
Then, under Wang Ying's angry eyes, he ran out of the Armory and headed for the palace.
He wanted to tell the King of Yan the news.
After the announcement, he entered the palace and met the King of Yan in the pavilion.
"Your Highness, the gunpowder has been tested." Wang Chong said excitedly.
Zhao Xu nodded, "Not bad, but this is only half done."
"Half?" Wang Chong was immediately confused.
