Quick wear: The male supporting actor ran away with a bucket

Tu Yufan estimated that Jiang Ye's skill points were all focused on physical fitness. The two brothers, one is smart and the other is strong, so they can have good experience in this army. Although they have never led troops before, they have made rapid progress under Tu Yufan's guidance.

Two years passed quickly, and Licheng developed rapidly. The village in the mountains also became a base for researching weapons such as gunpowder.

Zhang Mian issued a statement, admitting the mistakes he had made over the years and gave way to Tu Yufan.

Zhang Mian's father was also a traitor. It made no difference if one traitor gave way to another traitor. The people had no reaction. And now almost all the officials in Licheng were Tu Yufan's men, so no one opposed it.

Zhang Mian lived a life of drunkenness and debauchery in his mansion. Without countless official duties and no one watching him, he could eat, drink and have fun as he pleased.

He looked outside drunkenly, thinking to himself that Tu Yufan didn't kill him and that his bet was right.

In a daze, he saw a man in black jumping down from the wall, and the guards around him fell to the ground. Zhang Mian asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"General Mo trusted you so much, but you listened to the traitor and teamed up with outsiders to kill him. You deserve to die!"

A flash of light passed by, and Zhang Mian felt a chill on his neck.

Zhang Mian covered the gap on his neck with his chest, blood flowed from his fingers, his eyes were lifeless, and he kept muttering: "I don't want to die... I don't want to die, someone come and save me..."

The loss of blood made his body gradually cool down, his mind became confused, and he finally fell to the ground.

"Dad, Moqi's henchman Niu Wu sneaked into Zhang Mian's mansion last night and killed Zhang Mian. When we chased him, Niu Wu had already committed suicide in front of Moqi's tomb."

Tu Yufan saw that Jiang Chuan looked unhappy and knew that he was regretting the loss of talent. Tu Yufan waved his hand impatiently and said, "I already know. If you are fine, don't bother me. If you are dead, you are dead. You can't use it if you keep it. It's a waste of trouble."

Tu Yufan has been very busy recently. He is now at an age where he should be retiring to start his career, mainly because he has two unpromising sons. Otherwise, why would he have to work so hard?

Jiang Chuan shrank his neck and left in shame.

.......

The way of Xu State's march into Xie State was blocked by Licheng. The three parties maintained a tenuous balance for many years. The male protagonist recovered a lot of territory. Xu State finally couldn't hold back and wanted to take Licheng and reach the central part of Xie State.

The State of Xu sent troops to sneak into the mountains and forests and reach the border of Licheng.

Tu Yufan arranged a military signal transmission line at the intersection of Xu State and Licheng. Each beacon tower could transmit information in a timely manner, and the news was soon received.

By the time the large army came to attack the city, Tu Yufan had already made arrangements.

Boom! One after another, black spheres smashed into the enemy army. With a loud bang, the people in the center of the explosion were instantly wiped out.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. Jiang Chuan knew that his father had been researching various new weapons. He also visited the research base for a few days. He originally wanted to go in and do his part, but he was kicked out because of his low cultural level.

Are these things so scary?

In fact, gunpowder did exist in this era, but it was very small, and its damage range and power were not great. However, the range and power of cannon are completely different things.

boom! boom! boom!

Soon after, many spherical objects were thrown down. Unlike artillery shells, they did not explode after falling, but only emitted thick smoke.

This is an ancient version of a smoke bomb, made from more than a dozen materials. After the enemy inhales it, they will immediately start bleeding from their mouths and noses and collapse to the ground.

Jiang Ye looked at these cannons, full of curiosity like a child.

"Dad, what is this? Can I try it?"

Tu Yufan rolled his eyes and said, "Just learn slowly first. Don't waste your ammunition. You don't know when you will learn it."

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment. He felt that what his father said was not very pleasant, but he couldn't explain why.

The rumbling sound continued. The attacking army of Xu State suffered heavy casualties, with only a few defeated soldiers fleeing in panic. Later, Tu Yufan took advantage of this morale and captured the two nearest cities at the fastest speed.

Most of the original inhabitants of these two cities had already fled, and the remaining few were able to survive by selling out their country for personal gain. After the Xu State withdrew, people hiding in the mountains returned to their hometowns one after another. There were a lot of food reserves in these two cities, as well as many mines. After owning several cities, Tu Yufan could finally be considered a powerful force.

...........

After taking over two cities, the amount of work increased several times and Tu Yufan was busy again.

"King Xiang sent an envoy to see you."

"Let him come."

Tu Yufan guessed that the male protagonist had become alert. Originally, he did not care much about Licheng. He just regarded it as a buffer point, thinking that it would be breached sooner or later. As a result, the opponent suddenly took out an explosive weapon and directly reversed the situation.

"Sir, I am here on the orders of the prince. Now the State of Xu is eyeing the country covetously and wants to annex the territory of the State of Xie and massacre innocent people. Your Majesty is hiding in the imperial city and dares not send troops. Why don't we cooperate to repel the State of Xu and take back the territory occupied by Xu..."

Do you want to solve the external enemies first and then resolve the domestic chaos?

It seems that the male protagonist has placed Licheng on an equal footing today and even sent an envoy to discuss cooperation. Of course, he may also be gathering information and want to know about the new artillery.

"You have no say in this matter."

"Yes, the prince wants to invite you to meet him in Meixiangzhou,"

Mei Xiangzhou is the city closest to Licheng. Tu Yufan wondered if he could kill the male protagonist when they met, but it was a bit difficult. Moreover, if he killed the male protagonist, he would probably be hunted down by thousands of troops, and he would not be able to take over his troops.

Prince Xiang's Mansion

A letter from home was delivered to Aying.

After receiving the envelope, Ah Ying saw that there was another box of silver. She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

After she was abandoned, she could not read and felt bored when she entered King Xiang's backyard, so she began to learn to read.

The words in the letter were very unfamiliar, and her parents had been illiterate since childhood, so how could they write a letter to her?

But what was described in the letter was indeed what he experienced as a child.

"Have your parents come to see you? I'm so envious of you, sister. I heard that the princess has arranged for you to meet."

The person who was speaking was Prince Xiang's concubine Yu Yan, who came later than Aying, but thought that her family background and status were higher than the orphan Aying, so she called herself the elder sister and always put Aying above her.

Ah Ying lived in the village since she was a child and was given to King Xiang by the Su family. The first time she saw such a handsome and majestic man like King Xiang, she couldn't help but fall in love with him.

But how could such an ordinary person like her catch his eye? He favored her only because her eyes resembled those of an old friend.
