Three Kingdoms: God of Swallowing

This is the reason why everything is difficult at the beginning.

He ordered the kitchen to prepare a large table of good dishes, and the hungry girls couldn't bear it any longer. Without Ye Tian's order, they brought out bowls and vegetables one after another, and started the first meal of the day.

They didn't even eat breakfast, and they were all so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs.

After eating and drinking enough, everyone came to the back garden together, the moonlight is good tonight, put melons and fruits on the desk, and play and recite poems while playing, it is also very happy.

Now Ye Tian doesn't need to manage the big and small things anymore, and when he is idle, he feels that there is nothing to do, so he can't just hide in the gentle nest all day long.

Looking up at the bright moon, thinking of all the things in his previous life, Ye Tian's heart moved, his eyes swept over the girls around him one by one, and he couldn't wait to ask: "My lady, I want to ask you something, do you know about gunpowder?"

..

Chapter 189 Black Powder

Ye Tian asked about gunpowder. No one in this era has a deeper understanding of the importance of gunpowder than him. If muskets and cannons are invented now, their role in the cold weapon war during the Three Kingdoms period will undoubtedly be huge, not to mention the unification of China. It is not impossible to unify the world.

It was the first time for all the girls to hear this term, and Diao Chan said in astonishment, "Gunpowder? What kind of medicine? Can it cure diseases?"

Ye Tian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, can gunpowder be used as medicine to cure diseases?It seems that gunpowder did not appear in this era at all. According to historical records, it was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty that gunpowder was gradually used in the military field. A kind of solid powder, even if a small amount is gathered together, it will release a large explosive force when ignited."

"I've never heard of gunpowder, but sulfur powder has appeared in ancient books." Cai Yanxiu frowned, thinking about the memory in her mind carefully, and then continued: "It seems to be something invented by an alchemist. It can release a lot of power, which is very similar to the gunpowder my husband mentioned."

"Sulfur fire powder!" Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that gunpowder was invented by ancient alchemists. From the Warring States period to the early Han Dynasty, the emperors and nobles were intoxicated with the fantasy of immortality, and drove some alchemists and Taoists to refine elixir. During the manufacturing process, the formula of gunpowder was gradually invented.

Could this sulfur powder be gunpowder?Thinking about it carefully, Ye Tian was overjoyed and asked, "Yan'er, what kind of formula is the sulfur fire powder you mentioned, do you remember?"

Cai Yan saw that her husband was in high spirits, but she didn't know why, so she listened to his question and nodded, "Of course I know, those things were mentioned in the ancient alchemists. In the late Qin Shihuang, he hoped to live forever, so he asked the people for elixir. He recruited alchemists, and asked the sorcerers to refine alchemy and the medicine of immortality. Since then, alchemy has become a trend and has become popular. It mentions saltpeter: burn it with fire, and the purple smoke rises, and the cloud is saltpeter; It is used in folk herbal medicine, and then charcoal is added. It is mainly composed of saltpetre and sulfur, supplemented by plant ash. The nitrate is yin, and the sulfur is yang. , the characters feel that it is indeed possible to prepare a kind of black powder, which is flammable, and it is easy to explode if it is placed in a small urn. Discover……"

"That's it, black gunpowder!" Ye Tian was so excited, he ran to Cai Yan's side, hugged that charming body, picked her up from the chair, kissed her hard on the forehead, and then Stop spinning.

"Oh, no, no, my husband, let me down quickly, I feel a little dizzy." Cai Yan repeatedly called out.

Ye Tian laughed, hurriedly put the beauty down, buried his head on her plump breasts and took a deep breath of fragrance. The excited look made all the girls speechless, and they didn't understand the use of black powder.

"My lord, what do you want black powder for? You can't eat or drink it. Could it be that you also want to try to make elixir?" Sun Shangxiang ran to Ye Tian's side, took his arm, and asked charmingly.

It's okay to ask, but don't rub against the pair of big white rabbits with pink bows, okay? Isn't this intentionally seductive?

Ye Tian smiled mysteriously, and said: "Lady, have you ever thought about it... If we mass-produce this black powder, put it in iron vessels, and put it into use in wars, such as bombing city gates and iron cavalry, it will What role does it play?"

Zhen Mi's eyes lit up, and she said with a face full of surprise: "Sir, if this is the case, then our Ye family army will surely die a lot less soldiers, and it will be easier to attack the city, and the whole world is at your fingertips!"

Ye Tian smiled, hugged Xiao Xiangxiang next to him into his arms, rubbed it while laughing and said: "That's right, once the black powder is successfully developed, we can use it on the battlefield. Ladies think about it, if we process it A large number of hollow balls are filled with black powder. A fuse leads out of the shell, and after being ignited, they are thrown towards the enemy. After the black powder burns, huge heat is generated instantly. However, due to the limited container of the iron ball, the heat inside expands violently, and finally It will explode the iron ball, causing the iron shell of the outer shell to explode wildly, and the enemy soldiers within a few feet of it will be hit by the iron pieces, and they will either die or be injured. One such ball missile can injure at least dozens of people , if dozens of them fly out at the same time, at least thousands of enemy soldiers will be disabled instantly, what a power!"

The women felt astonished when they heard his whimsical thoughts. It seems that there is really nothing in the world that your husband can't think of. If black powder and bullet shells can be mass-produced, the strength of the Ye family army will definitely leapfrog a level.

Cai Yan really thought about something, and she suddenly said: "My lord, we are still not sure that sulfur powder is black powder, I am afraid that we need to further confirm, and I only know the composition of sulfur powder, as for saltpeter and I don't know how the sulfur came from, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of work."

Ye Tian nodded, and said: "Although this black powder refining method is immature, and its effect is limited, the development of black powder must be put on the agenda."

"Sir, what do you mean, we need to make a large amount of black powder and put it on the battlefield, so that it will have amazing effects no matter whether you are attacking or defending the city!" You already know what your husband is thinking.

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and said: "That's right, tomorrow I will let Mr. Tao arrange to set up several special departments, which are responsible for the research of refining gunpowder, making pinball shells, and other new things. Teach and check, and implement these reforms!"

Zhen Mi's beautiful pupils rolled slightly, deep and clear, she held Ye Tian's arm, and sighed intoxicated, "The talent of a husband really makes Mi feel ashamed, and I don't know what the brains of a husband are made of? "

Ye Tian laughed loudly, looking at the peerless beauty in front of her who was as elegant as a banished fairy, a strong love and a urge to blaspheme a fairy rose in her heart, she let go of Sun Shangxiang, took Zhen Mi into her arms, and said with a smile: "Of course your husband-in-law is iron-clad. It's easy for one person to kill you nine sisters. I remember that Mi'er is as good as anyone in bed..."

..

Chapter 190 Establishing a Military Factory

"I hate it, don't say it, you rascal!" Zhen Mi pounded his chest like raindrops with fists, her face was as bright red as if it could drip water, her heart was pounding, she thought that her husband was really bad, He will talk about his weakness, and it is not his fault that his voice is so low.

Ye Tian laughed and hugged the beauty tightly...

Seeing the two laughing, Cai Yan gave Ye Tian a white look, and said coquettishly, "Sir, you have the nerve to say it, it's really cheap for you to make you gossip during the day."

"Hey, that...sister, I think it's quite exciting, why don't you do it again at night?" Zou Yun's eyes were like silk, and she tried her best to be provocative.

"Hey, sister Yun'er, you seem to be the happiest during the day, right?" Diao Chan couldn't help joking.

"Is Zhu Rong good or not? How come it's on my head. Zhu Rong is much more energetic than us." Zou Yun hurriedly dismissed it.

"It was my husband who asked me to shout." Zhu Rong looked at Ye Tian seriously, and then said angrily: "My old lady was almost killed by him, this bastard doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade, he is so gentle to you but treats me so softly." So wild...it still hurts there."

But she added another sentence: "My mother just likes him to be rude to me."

Well, the girls are speechless, the character of this savage elder sister is different.

"You're all right, it seems that only the concubine is the worst." Fan Yan glanced at Ye Tian, ​​and couldn't help but interject.

The eyes of all the women cast their eyes on her, looking up and down, plump and plump, dignified and elegant, with both hands on her lower abdomen, it is indeed easy to attract men's whipping.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Tian recruited Tao Qian and a group of officials, told him that he wanted to develop black powder, asked Tao Qian to build a military factory, ordered people to collect a large amount of saltpeter and sulfur, and then called a large number of excellent Craftsmen even recruited alchemists and Taoists among the people, making them a special kind of official.

Ye Tian personally spoke, Tao Qian naturally spared no effort, the military factory was built quickly, manpower and material resources were in place one after another, and the development officially started.

If gunpowder is successfully developed, cannons will definitely be developed in the future. It is estimated that it will be difficult to succeed without three to five years.

Fortunately, there is enough time, Ye Tian is not in a hurry to need these things yet.

At the same time, the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao finally started.

In June 199, Yuan Shao selected 30 elite soldiers and [-] horses in an attempt to go south to attack Xudu, and the prelude to the Battle of Guandu kicked off.

Cao Cao had only 15 troops, only half of Yuan Shao's. The news of Yuan Shao's troops going south reached Xudu, and Cao Cao's generals believed that Yuan Jun was strong and invincible.However, based on his understanding of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao believed that Yuan Shaozhi was a man of great talent, lack of courage, meanness, lack of kindness, self-willedness, many soldiers but unclear command, arrogant generals and inconsistent government orders, so he decided to use the 15 troops he could concentrate to fight Yuan Shao's attack. .

In the first month of 200, Yuan Shao sent Chen Lin to write and publish an appeal, in which he scolded Cao Cao intolerably.Marched into Liyang in February, trying to cross the river to seek a decisive battle with the main force of Cao's army.He first sent Yan Liang to attack Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun in Baima, in an attempt to seize the key points on the south bank of the Yellow River to ensure that the main force can cross the river.In April, in order to gain the initiative and win the first battle, Cao Cao personally led his troops northward to rescue the siege of Baima.At this time, the counselor Xun You believed that Yuan Shao had many troops, so he suggested to attack the west and disperse his troops. He first led his troops to Yanjin, pretended to cross the river and attack Yuan Shao's rear, so that Yuan Shao would divide his troops to the west, and then sent Qingqi to quickly attack Yuan's army who was attacking the white horse. Yan Liang.Cao Cao adopted this suggestion, and Yuan Shao really divided his troops into Yanjin.Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity to ride lightly, and sent Dian Wei and Xia Houyuan as forwards to rush towards the white horse.

Dian Wei quickly approached Yan Liang's army, rushed into the thousands of troops, as if entering the land of no one, he danced the halberd with both hands, chopped Yan Liang to death with several moves, and beheaded his head, and returned. Once the general died, Yuan's army was immediately defeated.

After Cao Cao broke the siege of Baima, the people who migrated to Baima retreated westward along the Yellow River. Yuan Shao led his army across the river to pursue them. When the army reached the south of Yanjin, he sent General Wen Chou to continue to pursue Cao Jun with his troops.Cao Cao had only 600 cavalry at that time, stationed at Nanban (in the south of Baima), while Yuan Jun had five or six thousand cavalry, and infantry followed up.Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to unsaddle their saddles and let their horses go, and deliberately threw the luggage aside the road.When Yuan Jun saw that he had caught the trick, they all scrambled for property.Cao Cao launched an attack suddenly, finally defeated Yuan Jun, killed Wen Chou (he was trampled to death by a horseshoe, not Guan Yu), and returned to Guandu smoothly.

Yuan Jun lost the first battle, but his troops still had the upper hand.In July, he marched into Yangwu (now Zhongmoubei, Henan), preparing to go south to attack Xuchang.

In August, the main force of Yuan's army approached Guandu, and set up a camp in Yishadui, which was about tens of miles from east to west. Cao Cao also set up a camp to confront Yuan's army.

In September, Cao's army once attacked, but was unfavorable in the battle with Yuan's army, so he retreated to the camp and stood firm.

Yuan Shao built towers and oars, piled up earth like a mountain, and shot down at Cao Ying with arrows.Cao Jun made a thunderbolt chariot with a rock-throwing device, and the rocks destroyed the building and oar built by Yuan Jun.Yuan Jun dug tunnels to attack again, and Cao Jun also dug long trenches in the camp to resist, shattering Yuan Jun's strategy.The two sides stalemate for 3 months, Cao Cao's external situation is difficult, the front is short of soldiers and food, the soldiers are tired, and the rear is not stable, Cao Cao almost lost the confidence to stick to it.

One day, seeing the soldiers transporting food exhausted, he couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help blurting out, "But I broke the Shaoxing for you on the [-]th day, and I won't work on you anymore!"
