Jinzhan. Fu felt embarrassed when she wanted to say these two words. She was so vulgar. She didn't have a big name because the woman's big name was basically useless, and the general Fu Yanqing was too lazy to give her; she only had a nickname, which was Jinzhan... When she was a child, someone called her big Jinzhan, which was even more unpleasant.

When Fu was born, Fu Yanqing was very happy and took a golden cup and gave it to her as a toy to play with. Then the wet nurse called her Jinzhang first, and then the elders who were close to her called her, became her nickname. Fortunately, I heard that ordinary children also called Goudan Shugen, and said that the cheaper the name, the easier it is to support her; the rich family of the Fu family was embarrassed to do this, so they could barely get through it after taking a Jinzhang.

No one has called this nickname for many years, and now even her father Fu Yanqing will not call it that way. The wet nurse and biological mother have passed away. Maybe the only one who remembers this name is Fu Yanqing, but who knows he forgot it. Anyway, the emperor doesn't know this name.

There is no need to write anything, just tell Jing Niang that the word "女" is an answer. Fu knew the way to write secret letters, but she had never written them before, and she did not keep the things she sent, but only remembered them in her heart.

She believes that a person may find anything, but no one can find what he is in his heart. Only what he thinks in his heart can be free and without any restrictions.

Although there are only two words, Jing Niang has to go from Tokyo to Huainan to deliver a message. Perhaps these two words contain a lot of content... At least Fu herself thinks that this nickname is more important. In this world, if Fu Yanqing forgets it, then only she will remember it.

...

When Jingniang arrived in Yangzhou, Huainan, it was already September, and the season was already late autumn and early winter.

Jinzhan, Jingniang also quietly explained in his ear: "It's her nickname."

Guo Shao immediately understood, remembering that the letter said that he wanted to know her name. Now she said it, not only proved that she was not angry because of Guo Shao's rudeness, but instead responded to him... Before the Shouzhou War, Guo Shao was indeed in a low mood and had no time to consider it. He just wrote an impulse. He thought he was going to die, and it was nothing to say before he was going to die.

When a person's life is threatened, it is easy to do things that are usually timid and timid. It would be fine if he was accidentally killed by someone, but the process of knowing that he is going to die and waiting for that moment to come is really panic.

But now it's all gone.

The word "Jinzhang" really contains too much. Guo Shao can think of some things immediately, but there are still some things that need to be savored slowly. It's a needle for a woman's heart!

Guo Shao sat by the window with his eyes closed and stopped talking. He didn't care about Jingniang for a while... Please allow me to indulge in fantasy first.

... Unexpectedly, before he could fully feel the taste, the personal soldiers' reports disturbed his dream: the emperor summoned him.

Guo Shao quickly stood up and went to the bedroom to find the official uniform to change. After turning around, he saw Jing Niang and Yang looking at each other and looking at each other. Guo Shao said, "This is Jing Niang, Yang Niang, you can trust her. I'll go and meet the saint first."

He brought a personal follower and rode a horse to the palace of yesterday with the general who reported the news. However, today he was not in the hall, but in a smaller room, it looked like a tea hall.

There were no civil and military officials, there were only two people in total: Chai Rong, who sat in front of the wooden case of the superior, and Wang Pu, who was the lower leader... There was only one person beside the emperor, not Wei Renpu, but Wang Pu. Wang Pu should be in his fifties, but he looked very old.

He was actually summoned by the emperor in private. Guo Shao was flattered for a moment and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I am summoned to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever."

"Get up, get up." Chai Rong's speech was not as majestic as usual, but rather gentle.

When Guo Shao got up carefully, he looked at the emperor from the light of his eyes, but saw him smiling deliberately... Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Guo Shao stood down below with his teeth, waiting for the emperor's questioning.

Unexpectedly, the person who spoke first was Wang Pu. Wang Pu asked with a good word: "I heard that General Guo attacked Shouzhou and blew the city wall several meters wide. It seemed that he was using 'Guuld Powder' (Taoist Alchemy Terminology for Gunpowder). How did General Guo do it?"

Chai Rong immediately said kindly: "Since ancient times, the military generals have some special skills. Deputy envoy Wang should not ask for it. If Guo Shao is unwilling to say it, forget it."

Wang Pu said: "There are still many important cities in Huainan. If you can still make the same mistakes, you can save a lot of time in Huainan, which is related to the military and national strategy."

Chai Rong said: "Then you can't force others. If there is a city that cannot be defeated, just send Guo Shao to it."

Ancient military generals had some special skills to use to pass on their families, and they wanted to use them to achieve the family of military generals and were absolutely unwilling to teach them to others; just like famous craftsmen from all walks of life, they would not teach them all, and some skills were passed down from generation to generation by sons but not daughters... Legend has it that Qi Jiguang, a Ming Dynasty, wrote down his own set of training and military management because he had no descendants in his family, which would have been passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, it would be a private skill that was unrecognizable.

That's why Chai Rong was so squeamish. In fact, he was a general who respected his own military, otherwise he would have to say even if he didn't say the emperor's might.

After hearing the two of them singing together, Guo Shao finally understood what Chai Rong and Wang Pu wanted to do. The king and his ministers were really blushing and white-faced duets, and they cooperated very well, as if they were rehearsing.

Damn it, the emperor had no choice but to say it. Do you want to give it a toast and not eat it?

There is no way, I can say it, but I have to hint at how much I bear to give up my love. Guo Shao looked painful, as if he wanted his heart and soul. Chai Rong sighed twice when he saw it.

Guo Shao then said, "It's hard for me to get it..." After saying that, he turned his head slightly.

Wang Pu immediately waved to greet the two eunuchs at the door: "Go, go, go away."

At this time, Guo Shao said: "As long as your Majesty needs it, I am willing to offer it to Your Majesty. I just have some words to give you advice..."

"But it's okay to say it." Chai Rong said generously.

Guo Shao said: "Your Majesty's civil and military skills were not inferior to Emperor Taizong of Tang before, so he was not afraid of the nomadic cavalry in the north. He only needed a large army to fight to break the harassment of the nomadic cavalry. But in the future, after Your Majesty unified the world, the world's peace will enter the balance of the world, and later generations may be content with Chengping for a long time without knowing the army; if field battles are not possible, you can only rely on high walls and heavy cities to resist foreign humiliation. Once this method of destroying strong cities has been passed down, it will be even more difficult for people in later generations to defend the city and walls. The right way is a double-edged sword, which is sharp when used, but accidentally hurts yourself."

After hearing this, Chai Rong nodded and praised: "Zhao Kuangyin said that you have the world in mind, what did you say..."

Wang Pu said: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

"Yes, yes." Chai Rong smiled and said, "You are right, this method cannot be disclosed."

Guo Shao then said: "I am usually interested in Taoism. Although I only know the basics of this, I love to visit those hermits and masters the most. This method was obtained from Mount Hua. Taoists used it to suppress fire, and then I thought of using it to bomb the city."

Guo Shao then explained the preparation and proportion of gunpowder. He even told him how to filter saltpeter impurities and re-fry crystallization method to re-form solids. At that time, there were many personal soldiers involved in the production of gunpowder for the twelve coffins. Guo Shao did not explain these processes, and if someone was asked, it would make the emperor unhappy... but he still kept one hand.

He ignored the method of testing the power of gunpowder by grouping; this seems simple, but it is actually useful. Both charcoal and sulfur have impurities, and the proportions should change in different places of origin. Although the proportions of the active ingredients are different, it will only affect part of the explosion power. During the grouping test, because there is no need for too many people, only a few people including Zuo You were present.

There is another way, and Guo Shao deliberately did not say it. When he asked someone to bury gunpowder, he asked his personal soldiers to go into the tunnel to compact the earth on all sides, and then seal the tunnel with soil to seal it... Unless a person with a comprehension ability, who can understand the reason? Gunpowder is burning and not compacting, so he pays attention to sealing it. It is hard to say whether it explodes.

Just knowing the formula of gunpowder, it is not easy to succeed in a flash. It is normal for people who have never done it to do it in practice. Anyway, it is not about Guo Shao's business at that time. Others have not done it well in some unexplained areas. You can't blame the problem with gunpowder itself.

Guo Shao left one hand and went through the pros and cons. He originally thought that all his money was given to the court to control the process of unification, but he remembered Zhao Kuangyin... Who knows what will happen in the future? Zhao Kuangyin is already an important military general, and he may get these things in the future. Without Zhao Kuangyin, there were other military generals who might be able to reverse the target within. Things are impermanent, so why not leave one hand to see the situation first?

Guo Shao said again: "You can't rely too much on this method to attack the city. It is thicker than the Shouzhou city walls. The strong city or underground conditions are not good, so it may not be blown up. Occasionally, it may be effective. If you use it, the generals who defend the city must be prepared and may not be able to bury the medicine with peace of mind. Even if you spend a lot of effort, you may not be able to attack it."

Wang Pu said: "What General Guo said is very true. The army is based on righteous victory, and clever plans are only auxiliary."

Chai Rong praised: "Guo Shao is commendable."

Guo Shao was happy after hearing this. The emperor seemed to say something casually, but there was a "loyalty" in the words of commendation. The emperor often praised military generals, so he always paid some attention to it.

At this moment, a civil servant walked to the door and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the envoy of the Southern Tang Kingdom is here." Wang Pu was writing what he had just said, and then stopped writing, turned to Chai Rong and said, "The envoy of the Southern Tang Kingdom must have come for peace. Otherwise, let him submit the letter to see what conditions are before talking about it, there is no need to rush to summon the civil and military ministers."

Chai Rong nodded calmly. Wang Pu then said, "Go and bring the envoys up and let him submit them to the letter of the country."

After hearing this, Guo Shao said, "I would like to say goodbye."

Wang Pu said: "It's not a secret, so why not be here to accompany the official family today."
