The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 137 This magical weapon of mine was given to me by an old friend and is indestructible.
  Liu Zhenhua's guess was correct. When he released the training rewards, the militiamen and heavenly soldiers selected for training immediately knelt down, their faces full of excitement, and they wished they could run on their horses now.

The militiamen and heavenly soldiers who were not selected due to various reasons such as height and physical fitness were beating their chests and looking sad. They did not seize such a good opportunity. They determined that it must be due to poor training on weekdays. This situation.

Suddenly all the soldiers were enthusiastic about training.

When the people of Yonghe saw Liu Zhenhua transform into more than [-] heavenly soldiers' meals, they admired the Kitchen King even more, and the whole army and people of Yonghe County were united.

In Qingjian County, after learning the news, Ren Hongli immediately selected [-] militiamen to rush to Yanchuan with bows and crossbows. The remaining [-] militiamen cooperated with the people of Qingjian to guard Qingjian.

As Liu Zhenhua expected, a lot of time was wasted when the other party reached an agreement, then struggled with the troops and horses, and agreed on a time for the army to set off. This is also a feature of ancient wars.

The speed of information transmission is relatively slow, but the ancients in this era did not feel anything.

It took only half a month and twenty days to take action, which was already very fast. Geng Ruqi and Yang He did not think that the Stove King would stay in Yonghe, and any earth-shaking changes would happen in these days. Yonghe County is a bigger place, and the Stove King would I've searched all over the place and can't find any good stuff. It looks the same when it comes, and it will look the same when they leave. There may even be a food crisis because Yonghe County is too poor.

After all, except for the first batch of rogue bandits, no other team crossed the border.

This also means that the military strength of Yonghe County is still as Wang Fu said at the beginning, with a maximum of [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.

The governor of Shanxi, Geng Ruqi, sent the general Zhang Honggong with [-] Qingde soldiers. The governor of the three sides, Yang He, sent [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. He sent the general Du Wenhuan to join the political affairs. Hong Chengchou and the capital were in Aimu. The troops were divided into three groups and the attack was extended. , blocked Yanchuan and outflanked Yonghe.

Soldiers from Yan'an continued to pour out. Hong Chengchou took the lead with [-] cavalry towards Yonghe, followed by infantry. Another [-] people, [-] people under the leadership of Aimu, rushed to Yanchang, and [-] people rushed to Yanchang under the leadership of Du Wenhuan. Under the leadership of the enemy, they blocked Yanchuan. Their plan was to extend the siege of Yanchuan without attacking. If the enemy sent troops to help, they would block it.

For a time, a large area in eastern Yan'an was in chaos.

The [-] cavalry and [-] militiamen led by Hong Chengchou passed by Yanchuan and Yanchang County. Hong Chengchou's eyes were attracted by the large green area beside the road. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes. There is a severe drought in northern Shaanxi now, and various places should plant crops. If crops don’t come out, why are the fields here so lush and green?

This land was basically surrounded by the Kitchen King, and the spies could not come here on weekdays, so Hong Chengchou was so shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

The same is true for the surrounding soldiers. They used to be farmers and were good at growing crops, but now they couldn't recognize what these crops were when they saw them.

Suddenly, an old farmer walked out from behind the thatch pile covering the other end of the field. Although the old farmer looked white in hair and beard, and was very old, he still walked with a vigorous pace. He walked quickly along the field ridge in front of the cavalry. .

The two cavalrymen pointed their spears at the old farmer, but Hong Chengchou waved their hands to stop them.

"What are you doing? You don't want to trample on our banker."

The old farmer spread his hands and looked at the soldiers in front of him without fear.

Everyone else had withdrawn and retreated to the city, but he wanted to stay here and look at the crops.

"Old man, don't get excited. We are just curious. What are these crops? Why are they still growing so lushly in this year of severe drought?"

Hong Chengchou asked.

The old farmer laughed and said, "This is the crop conjured by the Kitchen King."

The old farmer saw with his own eyes that the Kitchen King waved his hand, and the lush green seedlings all over the ground made people's hearts itch and their eyes full of joy.

The old farmer knew that these people were sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress the Kitchen King.

Hong Chengchou frowned. It was the Kitchen King who conjured it up. If the Kitchen King conjured food, he could also conjure crops all over the land?
  He just thought it was the old farmer's perfunctory words, or he was deceived by the Kitchen King.

"Old man, can we take away one or two seedlings? These things can be planted in the current drought year. If they are promoted nationwide."

In the [-]th year of Wanli reign, Hong Chengchou became a Jinshi. In addition to being the head of the Household Department, at the beginning of the Tianqi period, he served as a doctor based on his talents. He served as a military secretary and dealt with dozens of things a day. He served as a counselor in Shaanxi and moved to Zunhua as deputy military envoy.

I didn’t know there was such a thing as sweet potatoes.

"Haha, use the crops conjured by the Kitchen King to do your good deeds!"

The old farmer sneered. Although he was ignorant, he could still see the secret.

"Impossible, I can't let you take me away. If you want to take me away, just step on me."

When the two soldiers beside Hong Chengchou heard this, they immediately sent their weapons forward.

"Huh?" Hong Chengchou said, waving the two soldiers back, and then stretched out his hand to strike at the people around him.

A bag of silver fell into Hong Chengchou's hands. He got off his horse and stepped forward with the silver.

"Old man, these coins are used to subsidize the family, just think of me as buying your crops," Hong Chengchou said with a bow.

"Haha, in the first few days, when the old lady was about to starve to death, when I saw you officials, I would crawl over to you like a puppy without you waving, and now you know that the money is coming. "

Hong Chengchou's heart trembled. He knew that the old farmer would not compromise. Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Tie up the old man and send him back to the thatched house. Remember to take the silver with you. In addition, dig two of these seedlings. Remember to use them." The cloth wraps the soil and roots.”

"Yes!"

"What are you doing!"

Three soldiers immediately stepped forward. Two soldiers held the old man up and headed towards the thatched house. The remaining one carefully dug out two seedlings on the ground. The seedlings were very long. The soldiers carefully gathered them, and then Holding him in his arms, he stood respectfully next to Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou sat on the horse, thinking all about the appearance of the old farmer. If he could make the people under his rule look like this, the Kitchen King must be considered capable.

But after all, he is a bandit who fools the people and cannot be brought to the forefront. He is an official of the Ming Dynasty. Only the Ming Dynasty can save the people from water and fire.

Du Wenhuan's soldiers and horses were entrenched in the east of Yanchuan County. They looked at the tall and solemn Yanchuan County in front of them. According to the inference, the Kitchen King's soldiers and horses were divided into four places. There should not be too many soldiers and horses in Yanchuan County. If the maximum number of troops was sent, Two thousand people.

After all, the other party still wants to keep part of the city and part of the Qingjian.

They only need to block enemies who may send troops towards Yonghe here.

Northeast of Yonghe, Zhang Honggong is riding on a horse, followed by Geng Zhangguang, who carries a spear-shaped weapon wrapped in red cloth on his back.

"Master Geng, what are you talking about?" Along the way, Zhang Honggong's eyes always stayed on the spear-shaped weapon behind Geng Zhangguang.

"Haha, General Zhang can just call me Zhang Guang. This thing is called the Overlord Spear, and it was a gift from an old friend of mine."

Geng Zhangguang said with a smile. He saw the curiosity in Zhang Honggong's eyes, so he took off the spear from his back. After the red cloth was lifted, a sharpened spear with threads came into view.

"Mr. Geng, can you take a look next?"

Zhang Honggong asked. This was the first time he had seen a weapon with such a shape.

"It's natural, General Zhang, please," Geng Zhangguang handed the Overlord Spear to Zhang Honggong with both hands, but there was a vague feeling of déjà vu in his heart.

The latter took the Overlord Spear in his hand and weighed it, "It's quite heavy, much heavier than a spear."

"This is natural. I can say that our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are not many weapons that can compare with the Overlord Gun in terms of sturdiness."

Geng Zhangguang was not very old and usually kept this secret without telling others. Now that he decided to reveal it, Zhang Honggong was so curious about it that Geng Zhangguang couldn't help but brag about it, even though he knew that Liu Zhenhua had many people that day. With this weapon, the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty was gone, and when we never saw each other again, he boasted about it without feeling embarrassed.

"Oh?"

"Just give it a try, Master Zhang," Geng Zhangguang laughed, seeing that Zhang Honggong wanted to give it a try.

"So good."

Zhang Honggong was not polite and called his men forward. The weapon was sharp and the tip of the gun was shining with cold light. There was no need to test the sharpness, but to test the sturdiness mentioned by Geng Zhangguang.

Zhang Honggong asked two soldiers to grasp the two ends of the Overlord's gun respectively, and asked another soldier who looked quite strong to stand in front, holding a large round hammer in his hand.

"This is my adjutant. He is good at using heavy weapons. Mr. Geng will have to think carefully."

Zhang Honggong's words were sincere. He could see Geng Zhangguang's love for this thing, so there was no provocation in his words.

"Haha, General Zhang, just give it a try." The more Zhang Honggong said this, the happier Geng Zhangguang became. He had full confidence in the material of the Overlord Gun.

"Okay, Li Tianbao."

"Ok!"

Li Tianbao raised his hand in response, and then turned the sledgehammer in his hand over. The sledgehammer in his hand weighed forty kilograms, and it could hit with the force of five stones.

He looked at the slender Overlord Spear in front of him, feeling quite disdainful of it. He hammered it down, not only breaking it into two pieces, but also bending it out of shape.

Naturally, the two soldiers did not lift it with their hands. Instead, they brought two stones and placed the Overlord Spear horizontally on top.

"Ah!"

Li Tianbao held a heavy hammer in his hand and suddenly hit the Overlord Gun lying on the stone.

when!
  There was a clear sound, deafening.

Dust splattered on the rocks.

Li Tianbao only felt numbness in the tiger's mouth, and the heavy hammer in his hand was shaken up, and he almost got out of his hand. He had used nine percent of his strength just now, and his expression changed. Although it was covered by smoke and dust, he could rely on the touch and sound of the hammer in his hand. What I got from the feedback was that the Overlord Gun definitely didn't bend.

Zhang Honggong and Geng Zhangguang were both watching, and the dust dispersed.

The Overlord Gun was intact, not even a little bent, and not even a bit of skin fell off from the top.

On the other hand, the two rocks below have been smashed into cracks.

"This," Zhang Honggong was immediately shocked. Such a slender gun body was actually so strong. He could clearly see that the steel gun tip and body were one piece. It was so strong and slender that it would not be an exaggeration to say it was a magic weapon.

"Commander, the general has already used nearly [-]% of his strength. There is really no way he can use this gun," Li Tianbao suppressed the shock in his heart and said with his hands. He was afraid that the commander would ask him if he had exhausted all his strength, which would cost Mr. Geng's face. I couldn't get over it, so I took the initiative to say these words.

Hearing this, Zhang Honggong was full of amazement, "Master Geng's spear can be regarded as a 'magic weapon'."

"Hahaha," Geng Zhangguang laughed without saying anything modest. He took the Overlord Gun and looked it up and down. There was no deformation or damage, just some dust. He wiped it carefully, and then wiped it with a red cloth. pack.

He suddenly had an idea in his mind. Shaanxi was in chaos. If Liu Zhenhua and his men were displaced due to the war, and all the weapons in their hands disappeared, then the Overlord Spear in his hand would be regarded as a magic weapon.

"How could I have such a dirty idea?" Geng Zhangguang quickly put this idea behind him. In any case, he exchanged a precious sword for such a magic weapon. He had taken advantage of it. If he had the chance, he would definitely thank Brother Liu. .

"Young Master Geng is so lucky to have such a magical weapon," Zhang Honggong sighed. He wanted to know where this weapon came from. After all, it is so heavy, so slender, yet so strong. The materials must be so precious. Whether it is casting armor or making other weapons, it must be called a magic weapon.

"Haha, when I traveled in the past, an old friend gave me a precious sword as a gift. It is extremely precious. It is hard to find anywhere else in the world. I don't know about the others," Geng Zhangguang said with a smile. Anyway, he probably won't be able to meet that dear friend, no matter who comes in the future. There is no problem in asking such an answer. The more than eighty people with one hand are really too few in the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to find others in the world.

Zhang Honggong said "I see" and thought it was a pity in his heart. If he could master the materials and casting methods of this weapon, the overall strength of the Ming Dynasty soldiers would take a big step forward.

The soldiers and horses of both sides finally reached the combat position at the designated time, fifteen miles outside Yonghe County.

The soldiers who came to report the news informed Zhang Honggong that they planned to attack Yonghe County together at noon.

Zhang Honggong nodded in agreement. He and Geng Zhangguang chatted a lot along the way. When they talked about the Stove King, they couldn't escape from the weird legends about the latter.

Zhang Honggong disdains the idea of ​​changing food and weapons, but he is very curious. To be able to spread these legends so widely, the Kitchen King must have some extraordinary abilities. Now, he has arrived in Yonghe. If he takes down the Kitchen King, he can get a closer look. .

Geng Zhangguang also had the same idea in his mind. As for failure, it was impossible. They had five thousand elite soldiers and the opponent only had three thousand. There was no danger to defend. In addition, under attack from two sides, how could the opponent resist.

Although he followed the army to march out, he would not personally go into battle during the siege. At most, after entering the city, he would enter the city with the army.

At noon, the two armies surrounding Yonghe moved towards Yonghe at the same time.
