I was a fan in ancient times [Transmigration Book]

Han Yi looked blankly at Wangcheng being engulfed in flames. He turned his head to look at Ah-Dai and asked, "Are you sure the things you put are all right?"

Duan was stunned and immediately said: "I'll ask right away!"

Han Yi said solemnly, "You must ask clearly!"

Duan called out all the people who were in charge of digging the hole before, and came to report to Han Yi after strict questioning: "Master Hou, I asked them and they didn't put things privately!"

Han Yi nodded: "Understood."

Duan originally wanted to continue to talk about the details, but found that Han Yi didn't seem to want to continue asking, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

In fact, just after Han Yi finished asking, he knew that it was impossible for him to do it.

Because all the gunpowder configurations are completed under his supervision, no one knows what the ratio of this thing is.

And even if someone really guessed it, the materials in their hands are not enough to support them to blow up such a big royal city like this.

After the initial shock, Han Yi began to carefully observe the situation in Wangcheng, and found that not only the palace was exploding, but other places were also bombing from time to time.

Looking at the situation, Duan felt a little dangerous and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, let's withdraw."

According to their original plan, at this moment they had already left the vicinity of the royal city, and began to think of ways to find out where their army was.

Han Yi was silent for a while and said: "No, the situation here is a bit strange, we will not withdraw for the time being, but you choose a person who is in good health and can withstand the day and night, and let him send a letter to the king and the others."

Duan immediately said after hearing this: "I'll arrange people now."

Han Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning. I have to write him a handwritten letter, otherwise he won't be able to see the king if he doesn't get his identity verified."

The most important thing is that although most of his soldiers can read and write, their education level is limited, and these people may be afraid when they see Yan Zheng, and if they narrate what happened during this period, there may be some mistakes.

So he decided to write a letter to Yan Zheng himself, mainly to find a logical reason for him to turn around and run back to King Yan City.

Otherwise, if Yan Zheng knew that he was taking such a risk, he might not even think about returning to Han.

Seeing that Han Yi had made up his mind and refused to leave, Dumb had no choice but to understand this Lord Hou very well. Once he made up his mind, no one except Yan Zheng could make him change his mind.

Although he decided not to leave, standing here is not a problem. Duan said: "Master Hou, I will leave someone to find a place to monitor, let's find a place to camp first."

After hearing this, Han Yi was shivered by a gust of cold wind. He looked in the direction of Wangcheng and found that it was still bombing, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, such a big thing happened in Yanwangcheng. The garrison will definitely come over to observe soon, you mainly want to see how many people have come back, and then find out what happened in Wangcheng."

Dui nodded and ordered to go down immediately, and then asked someone to find a safe place to camp.

The rammed earth house certainly couldn't be built in a hurry, and Han Yi could only live in a tent.

It's just that he doesn't have the mood to care about the surrounding environment anymore, and now his mind is full of questions: How did King Yan's city blow up like this.

In fact, he still had some idea of ​​such a chain explosion, but there were only a few possibilities.

The first is that the King of Yan is also sending people to develop explosives. Their explosion happened to cause a martyrdom explosion, which is why the explosion happened like this.

But this guess was quickly overturned by him. Now no one knows the existence of such things as explosives. They all thought that Han Yi had magical means, and they didn't think about it at all.

And explosives are destined not to leave any traces except for some gunpowder smoke, so no one has started to study explosives.

What's more, even if they guessed it and really started to study it, it is impossible for them not to know how dangerous this thing is. How could this kind of thing be developed in the palace?

Even if it is in the royal city, it should be placed in a place far away from the royal palace or even the place where the nobles live, so as not to hurt the nobles in case something happens.

And if it is placed far away, it is less likely to cause a sacrificial explosion.

Then the second is that there are flammable and explosive gases or liquids under the King City of Yan!

This idea is quite reliable, but... Could King Yan City be built on a natural gas mine?

If it is true, the natural gas mine should have been damaged during the construction of the palace or other houses, otherwise it would be impossible to detonate the entire mine.

Han Yi guessed for a long time, only this one explanation can make sense, and now he is waiting to be sure, of course, there may be no way to be sure at all.

No one may know what natural gas is these days.

Of course, it may not be natural gas. After all, natural gas still has some smell, and they should be able to smell some unusual smells during the excavation process.

Since there is not, either it is buried deeper, or it is something else.

Anyway, King Yan's luck is also... Han Yi doesn't know how to describe it.

A lesson can be learned from the world, he really didn't intend to blow up the royal city at first, how could he completely disregard the lives of so many common people?

Even if his heart is as hard as iron, it is impossible for Daqin to take over an empty city. How difficult is it to recover from blowing up a city like this?

Restoration consumes more manpower and material resources than rebuilding the city.

Moreover, if so many people die in one breath, it is easy to cause plague or other diseases, especially now that the weather is getting warmer. If the city is not cleaned up in time, if there is an infectious disease, wouldn't it be fatal?

But that is Wangcheng, where the population of a country gathers, how can it be so easy to clean up?

In the end, perhaps they can only choose to block this area and leave the city deserted.

The geographical location of King Yan City is very good, at least the transportation is convenient, if not for this, King Yan would not have chosen this place as the King City.

This place has been abolished, and it is not easy to choose another place.

Han Yi had a lot of possible follow-up effects in his mind, and he barely slept for a while until it was dawn.

When he got up, Ah-Dai immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Hou."

Han Yi asked: "How is it? How is the situation in Wangcheng?"

Duan said: "There is nothing wrong now, Wangcheng still explodes from time to time, and our people don't dare to go there."

As Dumb said, he couldn't help admiring him in his heart. He was one of the few people who knew that Han Yi actually didn't have any fairy magic skills.

It's just that now he is a little shaken again. Maybe Han Yi did those things just to cover up his ability?

After all, the king once strictly ordered him not to use this kind of method again. Han Yi just made an excuse to reassure the king. It is reasonable to convince the king that this method has no effect on him.

Duan didn't want to doubt Han Yi, the main reason was that Wangcheng bombed too strangely.

If it was said that it was fried yesterday, it was because they placed too much, and it can barely be explained.

Well, it exploded all night, even though it was a small-scale explosion, it was surprising enough.

Those explosives can't do this, maybe Lord Hou will do it.

Facing Dumb's admiring and fearful eyes, Han Yi couldn't help feeling bitter. He felt that even if he said that this matter had nothing to do with him, no one would believe it.

He simply didn't dwell on this question at all, and just asked: "Where are the garrisons guarding around King Yan's city? Didn't they come?"

Dumb shook his head and said: "So far, I haven't found it yet."

Han Yi wondered, this is strange, it's been a night, how slow are these people moving.

If it was Xianyang... bah bah bah, this kind of thing wouldn't happen in Xianyang.

Anyway, no matter which city of Daqin such a thing happened, the surrounding garrison must have come to check the problem, even if they were afraid of danger and would not enter the city, they would rush over to see what happened.

What happened to the generals of Yan State?

Han Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "Continue to observe, if you see Yan Jun coming, you must report it in time, but be careful not to be discovered by others!"

In case people find out that the bombing of Wangcheng was done by him, I'm afraid he really won't be able to get out of Yan Kingdom alive.

Ah-Dai must have thought of this, and quickly said: "Master Hou, this place is really too dangerous, why don't we retreat first, anyway, King Yan's city has been destroyed, and King Yan is powerless to send people here."

Han Yi glanced at him: "King Yan... I'm afraid that King Yan is already dead, how could I be afraid that he will arrest me? It's just that it's really not a good time to leave now, and the news that King Yan's city was bombed will probably come soon." It will be spread to the front line, even if it is not spread, the king will definitely spread it after the people we send to deliver the letter see the king, and use it to shake the morale of the Yan army, and the king will definitely send his troops to come. I am not familiar with the road, what if I make a mistake and miss the army?"

Duan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was the same reason, so he stopped persuading Han Yi to leave.

Seeing that he changed his mind, Han Yi said in a deep voice: "Dumb, I heard a saying that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and you also fought all the way up. Are you willing to stay by my side for the rest of your life as a soldier?" Guard?"

Duan was startled and immediately said: "It's a great fortune for me to be able to follow Lord Hou. I am already satisfied with being a poor man in my life today, and I dare not expect more."

Han Yi waved his hand and said, "You are an old man who follows the king. Even if you don't want to, I can't let you guard me for the rest of your life. Your credit is enough to give you a place in the army, even if you don't want to continue fighting, you can be given a special position, and you can even get a title! If you can go to the city first and quickly grasp the situation in the city, your credit will be confirmed!"

Dumb was really stunned after hearing this, and he couldn't help breathing a little short of breath.

Han Yi is right, the credit for capturing a city can indeed give him a title for Qin.

The title he was talking about was not the lowest kind of meritorious title, but the title that could seriously enter the middle or even high level of Qin State!

But after all, he had followed Yan Zheng for many years, so he calmed down a bit and said quickly, "Master Hou, we don't have enough manpower."

Han Yi nodded with his hands behind his back and said, "I know, so you have to send someone to keep an eye on it, and it's not suitable to enter if it's still exploding over there, anyway, you can only wait."

Dumb nodded and stopped trying to persuade Han Yi to go back, and turned around to mobilize his subordinates.

Except for the confusion at the beginning, everyone was dizzy from the pie.

How great is the feat of winning a royal city?

There are only more than 100 of them in total, and this is shared among everyone. Maybe they can all be promoted or exchanged for titles!

Sitting in the tent, Han Yi couldn't help but smile as he listened to the enthusiastic responses from the outsiders. Only benefits can make people full of motivation.

Not long after, Ah-Dai walked in quickly and said, "Master Hou, our people just picked up this thing."

As soon as Han Yi looked up, he saw a light black stone in his hand. After Han Yi took it through the cloth towel, he looked at his eyebrows and moved: "Coal?"

Dumb froze for a moment: "What?"

Han Yi understood: "Unexpectedly, there is a coal mine under the King Yan City!"

Dumb asked in a daze, "What is that?"

Han Yi is not surprised that he doesn't know this kind of thing. Although the use of coal can be traced back to the ancient culture period in flower growers, firewood and charcoal are still used more in the Central Plains.

Moreover, people at this time did not have any means of mining coal, and only open-pit coal mines were used.

So he explained a sentence and said: "This thing can be ignited, and its function is the same as that of charcoal."

Dumb was a little surprised: "This...isn't this a stone?"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "This is called coal, I finally figured it out."

Since there is a coal mine under the Wangcheng, the cause of the explosion is naturally found. Generally, there will be a lot of gas in the coal mine. Generally, this kind of gas is colorless and odorless, and it is really not easy for people to find.

This is really... King Yan's bad luck.

Han Yi sighed and said, "Forget it, hasn't anyone from Yan's army come to investigate the situation today?"

Duan said: "Our people found some traces of people, but there are not many of them. If it is the Yan army, I am afraid that they are just scouts among them."

It makes sense to shoot the scouts to inquire about the news, Han Yi nodded and said: "Hide your whereabouts well, let's wait and see."

He is not in a hurry to enter the city. He is waiting for Yan Zheng now. Before Yan Zheng arrives, he needs to find out the details of the surrounding troops, and try to let Yan Zheng catch all these people!

At this time, Yan Zheng is advancing very aggressively.

After guessing that Han Yi was slowing down the army of the Yan State, Yan Zheng was very worried. Even though he believed in Han Yi's ability, going deep into the enemy's rear was a narrow escape. Everything is his guess, how can he feel at ease if he doesn't see anyone?

But he can't be too impatient, the country of Yan is vast, and the distance between the cities is quite far, he can take the army all the way there, but if these cities are not defeated first, they will be cut off What about the back road?

Yan Zheng's mobilization of troops was originally determined to go his own way, but now he has conquered so many cities to barely silence those people's mouths. If someone cuts off his back and waits for someone to rescue him, it will be a great blow to his prestige.

Therefore, Yan Zheng could only sit at the back of the town and command Ping to wade over, while waiting for news from Han Yi.

He felt that Han Yi would find a way to pass the news to him.

And his methods of dealing with those cities are also very simple and rude, he will give the opponent a chance, if he is willing to surrender, then everyone will be happy, if he refuses to surrender, he will not waste his tongue, just fight over!

After laying down ten cities in a row, Meng Wu finally couldn't sit still, and went directly to Yan Zheng and said, "My lord, now our soldiers have begun to suffer from frostbite to varying degrees, and if we continue to do so, I'm afraid it will cause serious damage due to the cold weather." Necessary downsizing."

Yan Zheng was studying the sand table, and wanted to guess Han Yi's position by guessing the position of Yan Jun.

After hearing this, he frowned and raised his eyes and asked, "Oh? What do you mean...?"

Meng Wu could see that Yan Zheng was obviously a little unhappy, but his duty was to bear with those soldiers who didn't die on the battlefield but lost their lives in vain because of climate problems, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "The general thinks it's better to wait for a while , It’s still a bit cold now, some important towns in Yan Kingdom are defended with ice walls, these cities are not easy to attack, if the weather is warmer, it should be much better after the ice melts.”

After Meng Wu finished speaking, he lowered his head. He reprimanded everyone who told Yan Zheng to stop. Meng Wu knew that he would be reprimanded if he said it, but he still said it after thinking about it.

But this time Yan Zheng did not reprimand him, Yan Zheng actually trusted the Meng family very much, and what Meng Wu said was right, too impatient to move forward now is not a good thing.

Meng Wu is not timid to fight, but just wants to wait for the best time and use the least consumption to fight.

Yan Zheng rubbed his brows and said, "How could these widows not know what you said? It's just Ah Yi..."

Meng Wu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Han Houtian is a talented person. I think King Yan has not let go until now. It must be because he didn't catch anyone. Moreover, even if he caught someone, he would definitely not dare to stop and hurt him. It's just that he might be wronged." Marquis Han."

Meng Wu didn't think that Han Yi could escape King Yan's pursuit. In fact, he was able to escape King Zhao's pursuit with Yan Zheng because King Zhao didn't pay attention to them at first, and they had Chen Shuangnie to help them later.

This time King Yan directly sent troops to round up, and Han Yi might not be so easy to escape.

But even if Han Yi was arrested this time, it is estimated that no one can say anything. After all, he has restrained Yan Guo's army alone, and it is not easy for anyone.

Of course Yan Zheng also understood this truth, he pondered for a while and said: "Since that's the case, I'll leave it to you here."

Meng Wu was startled: "Your Majesty?"

Yan Zheng stood with his hands behind his back and said: "It is the widow who wants to find Ah Yi. It is true that he should not hurt the lives of soldiers because of this. In this case, the widow will first take the guards to search secretly. After finding A Yi, the widow will come back."

Meng Wu's legs went limp after hearing this, and he almost knelt down to Yan Zheng.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not! Marquis Han is now deeply trapped behind the enemy lines. If even you are in danger, how will the last general...the last general explain to the subjects of Great Qin!"

Yan Zheng's expression was calm: "Don't worry, King Yan probably wouldn't have thought that the widow would go secretly to find A Yi, not to mention that the people who came out with the widow this time are all good hands, you don't have to worry about the widow's safety."

Meng Wu really knelt down to Yan Zheng this time: "Your Majesty, we don't know the exact location of Marquis Han now. Your Majesty hastily sneaked into the enemy's rear alone. What if you miss Han Marquis? The army is here, Marquis Han If he knew, he would definitely come to look for the king, not to mention that if Han Hou knew that the king went to look for him regardless of his own safety, he would regret it."

After hearing this, Yan Zheng snorted softly: "We should teach him a lesson and see if he dares to be disobedient in the future."

Yes, if Han Yi realized that Yan Zheng would be in danger if he insisted on going his own way, he would definitely not do such a thing again.

Meng Wu always felt that Yan Zheng's words contained a lot of information, but he didn't have time to analyze them now, so he just tried to dissuade him and said: "Han Hou must have regretted it now, please think again, Your Majesty!"

Yan Zheng sighed softly, raised his head and closed his eyes and said, "You don't understand."

If something really happened to Han Yi, his world would be like it is now, and it would completely lose its color.

He will not die in love, but he will never be happy again.

Especially knowing that Han Yi is in danger, but he can only sit here and wait, which makes him even more anxious.

He has endured it for a long time, and seeing that he is so close, he is really impatient. He has to go and bring Han Yi back now to be at ease!

Over the years, he has worked so hard to dare not claim to be a wise king, but he is also worthy of the throne.

Only now he wants to be willful for once.

Seeing that Yan Zheng was not persuaded by him, Meng Wu was very anxious, thinking that if his father was there, he would be able to persuade the king.

It's just that Yan Zheng didn't gather all the troops together, but let Meng Ao alone lead the army to attack the city of Yan from another place.

This is to disperse the troops of Yan State so that they cannot gather together to form resistance.

Just when Meng Wu couldn't stop Yan Zheng, and was desperately thinking about who could persuade Yan Zheng, suddenly someone stood outside the tent and said, "Report to the King, Zhong Shuling has sent a messenger to come and see him!"

Yan Zheng immediately said, "Let him in quickly!"

The messenger sent by Han Yi finally found his home base camp, and he was exhausted. Fortunately, the target of the army was hooked up. He made inquiries all the way and finally saw the king. The letter was submitted and said: "My lord, this is written by Hanhou himself."

Without waiting for the eunuch beside him to act, Yan Zheng strode over to fetch the letter, but he was agitated, his hands trembled when he opened the letter, and it took him a long time to carefully take out the letter paper.

There are not many words written in the letter, but the amount of information is not small.

After Yan Zheng put down the letter, he said to Meng Wu: "Immediately choose an elite team to go with the widow to meet Ah Yi!"

Meng Wu was relieved when he heard the news, thinking that Yan Zheng would not go to dangerous places again, but now hearing this sentence, his heart ached again, he was about to have a heart attack.

"Kings?!"

Yan Zheng said lightly: "Ah Yi attacked King Yan's city?"

Meng Wu: "What?"
