Chapter 12 New Mission Blast Furnace Constructed(1/2)
12 new tasks, blast furnace built
Half a day later, Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Wang Yong rushed to the palace. At this time, these four people were considered to be the real powerful figures in the Qin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, why did you summon us to come here urgently?" Wang Yong was the first to ask.
"The envoy I sent to Zhao'an to rebel against Liu Bang has returned, but Liu Bang rejected my Zhao'an."
Xu Feng spoke calmly.
"Huh, these traitors deserve to die." Wang Yong snorted coldly and said.
At this time, Zhuge Liang spoke: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the 100,000 rebels led by Liu Bang have captured Lantian a few days ago, which is only half a day's journey from Xianyang.
Compared to Xiang Yu's hundreds of thousands of rebels far away in Luoyang, this Liu Bang is the most dangerous enemy of our Great Qin at this time.
Wei Chen thinks that we must first find a way to defeat Liu Bang before Xiang Yu's army reaches Hangu Pass.
Only by getting rid of Liu Bang's 100,000 rebels first can we buy more time to resist Xiang Yu's subsequent arrival."
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Xu Feng looked at him with admiration and thought to himself: As expected of Zhuge Liang, he can see clearly.
"What the Prime Minister thinks is also what I think. The purpose of calling you here this time is to discuss how to use troops against Liu Bang in Lantian.
I estimate that after Liu Bang rejected the real Zhao'an, he would immediately attack Xianyang.
Others are sleeping soundly beside the couch. I must first defeat Liu Bang and relieve the crisis in Xianyang, and then prepare for a decisive battle with Xiang Yu."
Xu Feng said, stood up, his tone was sonorous and powerful, showing his determination.
"Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are both right, but as for the current problem, Liu Bang has a hundred thousand troops, and our troops in Xianyang City are only 30,000 at full strength.
What's more, Liu Bang's attack along the way was overwhelming, and the morale of his soldiers must be as high as a rainbow at this moment.
If we want to defeat more with less, I'm afraid we need to plan carefully."
After listening to the conversation between Xu Feng and Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun on the side also felt that this idea was correct, but he also raised his own concerns.
"What are you afraid of? They are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs. Your Majesty will give me 10,000 cavalry. I promise to kill all these 100,000 rebels for your Majesty."
At this time, Lu Bu, who had been standing aside coldly, spoke, and he was so domineering when he opened his mouth.
"Lu Bu, you are still so arrogant. One against ten and you still want to win easily. You are dreaming!
War is all about strategy, and a reckless man will always be a reckless man."
Zhao Yun glanced at Lu Bu disdainfully and said disdainfully.
"Zhao Yun, who are you calling a fool? As long as your majesty can give me ten thousand cavalry with stirrups, I can beat ten with one. If you can't do it, I will show you my head."
Unlike you, who is a coward and refuses to accept, come and fight!"
Lu Bu was so despised by Zhao Yun, how could he bear it and come back directly to provoke him?
"Let's fight. Others are afraid of you, Lu Fengxian, but I, Zhao Zilong, are not afraid."
Zhao Yun is also a strong man and is not afraid of trouble. The two of them almost got into a fight in the main hall, but luckily Wang Yong stopped them.
"Wantless, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, do you still take me seriously?"
Xu Feng's body shook and he roared loudly. The sound echoed in the empty hall, clear and deafening.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was reckless just now."
Seeing Xu Feng getting angry, Zhao Yun bowed and apologized, taking the overall situation into consideration.
"Hmph! Your Majesty, Wei Chen still said the same thing. Give Wei Chen 10,000 cavalry, and Wei Chen will kill all the 100,000 rebels for your Majesty."
Lu Bu also snorted coldly, repeated it again, and then stood back.
The conflict between the two did not break out after all.
Seeing that Lu Bu and Zhao Yun didn't fight, Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, they were still enemies!
"Well, don't worry, Lu Aiqing. I can't give you 10,000 cavalry now, but the key to winning this battle really lies with Aiqing."
"I already have a preliminary idea in my mind. Now I will talk to my dear friends. The Prime Minister and the three generals can help me check for any omissions.
This is what I think..."
Immediately, Xu Feng explained his combat deployment to Zhuge Liang and the four others in detail, and they gave their own opinions to improve Xu Feng's combat deployment.
The five people kept discussing late at night and finally formulated a complete battle plan.
"Prime Minister, after you return, mobilize the civilians to prepare food and fodder for the army."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Wang Yong, Zhao Yun, after you return, immediately assemble the Weiwei Army and the Lieutenant Army under your command, and the Weiwei Army will take over the entire defense of Xianyang City.
Wang Yong, your lieutenant army will leave the city early the day after tomorrow and stationed in Bashang."
"I obey my orders."
"Lu Bu, go back and assemble your cavalry. Don't attack for the time being. Wait for orders.
I will have three thousand stirrups and saddles delivered to your camp tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Okay, without further ado, please go back and make arrangements overnight!"
"Wei Chen resigns."
After Zhuge Liang and others left, Xu Feng sat in the empty hall, feeling ups and downs in his heart, both excited and stimulating.
"Come on, Liu Bang, I'll do the surgery on you first!"
Xu Feng revealed a sinister smile and whispered to himself.
Ding dong!
At this time, a familiar voice sounded in Xu Feng's mind, indicating that the system was giving him a new task.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the second mission.
Now a new mission is released: Defeat Liu Bang.
The majesty of the Qin Dynasty cannot be violated, and no traitor is allowed to touch the capital of the Qin Dynasty. Anyone who dares to invade will be killed without mercy!
If the task is completed, 8,000 points will be awarded; if the task fails, all points will be deducted.
Well, if the host fails this battle, there will probably be no future, and I will have to look for a new host..."
"Damn, break the system, your mission came just in time, and besides, you can't say anything nice.
Moreover, for defeating Liu Bang's difficult task, you only rewarded 8,000 points, which is really stingy."
Xu Feng couldn't help complaining that this damn system actually cursed him.
"Ding, after the system's judgment, the host's proposal makes sense.
In this case, additional reward tasks are now released: 1. Capture Liu Bang alive, reward 10,000 points; 2. Kill Liu Bang, reward 6,000 points.
3. Capture or kill Zhang Liang alive, and you will be rewarded with three thousand points.
If the task is not completed, there will be no punishment!"
"Damn, your broken system is finally reliable for once."
Xu Feng shouted happily when he heard the additional reward tasks released by the system.
This is completely to give him benefits, but this benefit is not easy to get.
Whether it is capturing or killing Liu Bang and Zhang Liang alive, it is not that difficult.
Fortunately, even if this kind of extra reward task cannot be completed, there will be no penalty. This made Xu Feng praise the system for the first time.
On September 23rd of the third year of Qin II, Wang Yong led 20,000 Qin troops out of Xianyang and stationed in Bashang.
Bashang is the east gate of Xianyang City. Its strategic location is very important. It is adjacent to Bashui. If Liu Bang wants to attack Xianyang, he will never be able to bypass Bashang.
Xu Feng clearly remembered that in history, Liu Bang forced Qin Ziying in Xianyang City to surrender to Liu Bang after he led his troops to Bashang, and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed.
This time, Xu Feng would not give up such an important strategic location to Liu Bang easily.
Bashang was also the place chosen by Xu Feng for the decisive battle with Liu Bang's 100,000 rebels.
As Wang Yong entered Bashang, Xu Feng also received another piece of good news in Xianyang City.
That is, the construction of the first blast furnace in Xianyang City was finally completed.
Xu Feng even went to check it out in person.
"Your Majesty, the construction of the first blast furnace has been completed, all thanks to the five master craftsmen Your Majesty hired.
Without their guidance, if we wanted to build such a complex blast furnace, it would have taken us at least two or three months to figure it out."
When Xu Feng came to the craftsman's workshop, the person in charge, Qin Tai, excitedly reported to Xu Feng.
"Um."
Xu Feng nodded slightly and asked: "Now that the blast furnace is built, when can we start making weapons?"
This is what Xu Feng is most concerned about. He is about to start a war with Liu Bang. If he can build a batch of iron weapons before the war begins, it will be very beneficial to the Qin army.
