two months later.
The temperature dropped sharply, and the weather suddenly cooled down.
Luoyang.
The cold wind howled, and a thick layer of frost formed on many grounds.
The people all wore thick clothes.
in the military camp.
Yang Yi was wearing a black cloak, and he looked at the soldiers of the Shenwu Army training indifferently.
These martial arts soldiers are elite soldiers drawn from the army by Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui and others.
After all, Shenwu Cannon not only tests the physical strength of soldiers, but also tests their comprehensive qualities such as eyesight and sufficient judgment ability in dangerous situations.
A group of high-quality soldiers is essential if you want to maximize the power of the Shenwu Cannon on a chaotic battlefield.
"Big Zhou Wansheng!"
The soldiers of the Shenwu Army roared.
They wore heavy armor and strapped to them various bags filled with sand.
For artillerymen, a strong physique is a must.
Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui, Li Cunxiao and others stood beside him.
a while.
Yang Yi touched his chin.
".~ How are they familiar with Shenwu Cannon?"
Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, these soldiers of the Shenwu Army have been able to complete all operations independently, and can even do some basic maintenance..."
Yang Yi was startled, and nodded slightly.
"well done."
"How many Shenwu cannons are there in the army now?"
Xue Rengui said: "A total of two hundred cannons..."
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows.
"The action is quite fast..."
These two hundred Shenwu cannons cost at least 60 taels of silver.
The imperial court was able to mobilize 60 silver to cast cannons under the load of so many things. It seems that it was a correct decision to transfer Xun Yu to the Ministry of Households as a minister.
Xue Rengui said in a deep voice: "The military supervisor put all the craftsmen into the construction of the artillery this time, and also mobilized thousands of people from the army to help them. This is why the speed is so fast..."
Yang Yi said with a smile: "Continue to build. If there are tens of thousands of powerful cannons in my Great Zhou, even a steel army can be wiped out!"
Tens of thousands of mighty cannons? !
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and they all swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Nima.
They have already seen the power of a big martial arts cannon. *No's)
Not to mention tens of thousands of doors?
Tens of thousands of cannons were fired at the same time, I am afraid that even a small mountain can be directly blasted down!
An hour later.
Yang Yi is still in the barracks.
He touched the Shenwu cannon, ready to have a good time with two rounds.
At this time.
A group of people trotted towards him.
The leader is Shangguan Wan'er.
soon.
Shangguan Wan'er stopped in front of Yang Yi.
She was a little short of breath, and her greasy face was flushed with a blush because of running so fast.
Shangguan Wan'er respectfully said: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty wants to see you......"
Yang Yi touched his chin, the Empress wants to see him?
Normally, he was the one who went to Ziwei Palace to harass the Empress.
The empress didn't come to him very often, except for one time when she asked him to enter the palace to urge him to update, and then he threatened him with a whip, every time it seemed it was a big deal.
He frowned slightly, then nodded.
"Let's go."
After half an hour.
Qianyuan Hall.
"Your Majesty..." Yang Yi walked in, and he glanced at Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao's face was calm, and he couldn't see any clues.
Wu Zhao glanced at Yang Yi, and then handed him a memorial in front of him.
"Let's see......".
[119] The Mongolian Yuan Empire behind Liao and Jin?Wu Zhao's worry, Yang Yi's plan!
Yang Yi was taken aback, he took the memorial and examined it carefully.
After a few glances, he suddenly frowned.
a while.
Yang Yi put down the memorial, his expression was a little strange.
"Song was plundered by Liao and Jin?"
The content in the memorial is related to the state of Song.
The weather is getting colder and snow has fallen in many places.
Compared with the wealthy Song Kingdom, nomadic peoples such as the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom living on the grasslands obviously have a great demand for food.
They don't do production, and when the weather is cold, they can only survive the cold winter by sending troops south to plunder the Central Plains.
The country of Song, which was closest to them, was obviously their first choice.
In fact, it is common for Liao and Jin to plunder Song.
The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty have long been used to it.
Every year, it was a small-scale battle.
Zhao Ji simply didn't bother to pay attention to it, so let's rob it, anyway, they are rich in Song Dynasty.
But this year seems to be a little different.
In the past, when Liao and Jin robbed Song, they usually staggered. After all, it would be embarrassing if they crashed.
This time, it seemed that the two countries joined forces, and with lightning speed, they captured several cities of the Song State in succession.
Wu Zhao said in a deep voice: "This time Liao Kingdom, Jin Kingdom's actions are somewhat unusual."
Yang Yi touched his chin, "Your Majesty, do you suspect that the two countries have secretly reached some tacit agreement?"
"Very likely, even more than that!" Wu Zhao's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
She pondered: "I feel that there is the shadow of the Mongolian Yuan Empire behind them...690"
"Meng Yuan?" Yang Yi was taken aback, with a solemn look on his face.
Even in this world where all countries stand side by side, the Mongolian Yuan Empire is one of the strongest empires!
The reputation of Genghis Khan resounded throughout the prairie.
According to some gossip, the Mongolian Yuan Empire has even expanded to the far west.
Because many people saw blond slaves in the Mongolian Yuan Empire.
When Yang Yi heard the news for the first time, he thought it was possible.
After all, Genghis Khan is a war madman, and it seems normal to hit the West.
As for why not go south to conquer the Central Plains?
Uh, Qin, Han, Tang, and Ming, which seem to be not inferior to him, stand in the Central Plains.
Even Genghis Khan dared not try it lightly, so he had to march west to bully those barbarians.
Yang Yi pondered for a moment.
"Your Majesty thinks that the Mongolian Yuan Empire is commanding Liao and Jin behind their backs, planning to invade Song?"
A thoughtful look appeared on Wu Zhao's cold and pretty face.
"Other than that, how else can you explain the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom joining forces?"
"These two countries have never been very confrontational, and their hatred is as deep as the sea. Moreover, in the past, the plundering of Song State was done to the point!"
"After all, if the State of Song is pushed into a hurry, the three kingdoms will be broken in an instant. Once the State of Song unites with one of the countries, the remaining country will not be able to please it!"
"This time it seems that the purpose is to destroy Song, and the two countries have joined forces, so they are not afraid of Song at all."
Yang Yi glanced at Wu Zhao in surprise.
What this girl said makes sense.
Wu Zhao felt dissatisfied when he noticed his gaze.
"Why? You were surprised when I said such a thing?"
"Don't tell me I'm an idiot in your eyes?"
Yang Yi said with a serious face: "Your Majesty misunderstood. In the eyes of my ministers, Your Majesty is not an idiot, but a military idiot."
【Ding!Mood value +600]
Wu Zhao's eyelids twitched wildly.
"Does it make any difference?"
She gritted her teeth.
Yang Yi touched his chin.
"Of course there is a difference. Idiots are stupid in every way, and military idiots are only military stupid!"
【Ding!Mood value +1000]
Wu Zhao's face was full of anger, and his full chest was heaving with anger.
She was like an irritated tigress.
"You sycophant..."
Yang Yi ignored the Empress's anger, he pondered and said: "Your Majesty is concerned about these things, because he is worried that our country of Zhou will be affected by Chiyu?"
Wu Zhao took a deep breath, and she nodded slowly.
"good......."
"If Song State is destroyed, Da Zhou, which is not far from Song State, may be in danger too!"
Yang Yi smiled.
"Then what is His Majesty going to do? To aid Song?"
Wu Zhao glanced at him, and said angrily, "I just didn't know what to do, so I called you here!"
