[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

The search for iron ore was more difficult than expected.

After staying in the wilderness for two full days, Ling Han found many places that fit the environment.

But after testing with iron sand and gravel, it was found that those were not real iron ore areas.

He didn't even give up and ordered the soldiers to dig down hard in one of them. They dug a full ten meters, but they still couldn't dig it.

Another dusk fell.

Ling Han sat beside the camp tent, looking up at the sky.

In another half an hour, the soldiers would not be able to continue searching.

"Your Highness."

Yang Zhen came from afar on horseback, dismounted and reported, "Brother Zilong has found a new place and is digging soil."

Ling Han immediately stood up.

He didn't have to go.But because he really wants to find iron ore, as long as someone finds a suitable geographical environment, he will go there as soon as possible.

Turning on his horse, Ling Han said: "Let the other soldiers go back and rest. If the place where senior brother is still not there, we will continue to search when the sun rises tomorrow."

If you still can't find it tomorrow, you have to go back to the city first to replenish food and grass.

"Yes."

Yang Zhen cupped his hands and quickly called two soldiers to announce the order.

The camp itself was stationed in the extreme southeast of Jiujiang.

After galloping towards the southeast for another quarter of an hour, they arrived at the place Yang Zhen said.

In front, Zhao Yun is directing the soldiers to dig down.

He held a piece of iron sand in his hand.

"Brother."

Ling Han shouted from afar.

Zhao Yun walked over quickly after hearing the sound.

As always, the gentle voice said: "We only dug a foot down, and we have to wait for a while to be sure."

Ling Han nodded slightly to show he understood.

The location of the iron ore is deep or shallow. The shallow one is like an open-pit mine. There is only floating soil or surrounding rock on the ore body. You only need to dig half a meter down to see it.

But it is not impossible to find a really deep iron mine at 1000 meters underground.

He remembered that the iron mining area here was classified as an open-pit mine, so he dared to bring soldiers to look for it.

In an open-pit mine, if there is no response from the iron sand after digging two or three meters, it basically means that you have found the wrong location.

Ling Han got off his horse, and took out a piece of iron sand, and Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun respectively went to the two ends of this environment to explore separately.

Seeing that the soldiers dug the soil deeper and deeper, the iron sand still did not respond.

It doesn't seem to be here anymore.

Ling Han sighed.

Absolutely right, it is in this area.

How can I not find it?

The formation of an iron ore is in units of hundreds of millions of years.

So it is impossible that there is an iron mine here after 2000, but there was none before 2000.

Or... is it because of the terrain?

The dug was already more than ten feet deep.

The king of Changsha did not give an order, so the soldiers continued to dig down very seriously.

Ling Han made a decision in his heart, and said loudly: "Okay, there is no need to dig any more, you guys go back to the camp to rest."

He turned his head to Yang Zhen and said, "I want to ride around here by myself."

Yang Zhendao: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, this place is close to the border of Danyang, you can't be alone."

Zhao Yun also stepped forward and said, "Brother Yang is right."

Ling Han thought that it was impossible for Danyang to have the courage to send troops to attack.As long as the boundaries are not crossed, there should be no danger.

However, with my current status, it is really not suitable for me to walk alone in the wilderness, so I said: "Then you two can accompany me."

The two naturally have no opinion.

Zhao Yun said: "Junior brother, wait a moment."

He returned to the center of the soldiers and handed over the task of leading the soldiers back to the camp to a major.

This major was the one who beheaded the most among ordinary soldiers when chasing Ji Lingjun.

He was also the only soldier among the soldiers to be awarded the rank of major.

In order to show that the major is different, no matter what Ling Han does, he must take him with him.

Therefore, this major was also the captain of a team when he went out of the city to search for mines.

The soldiers under Ling Han still have no concept of military rank.

For example, both Yang Zhen and Zhao Yun have the rank of lieutenant colonel, but no one in the soldiers will call them "Lieutenant Colonel", but must use "General Zhao" and "General Yang".

The only thing they feel honored is that when they get the military rank, Ling Han will personally wear the medal for them.

Ling Han has never bothered to make the military rank system deeply rooted in the hearts of the soldiers.

He planned to wait until Yangzhou was unified before starting a top-down reform of the army.

Soldiers began to march slowly towards the camp.

The three of them got on their horses, Ling Han walked in the front, and walked in another direction.

A thousand soldiers were divided into several teams and searched for two days.

I have almost searched for a suitable environment, but I still can't find it.

Ling Han suspected that he had missed something.

The time of 2000 is indeed not enough to change the iron ore, but it is enough to turn the landform of an area over and over and change several tricks.

Open-pit mines, which are very conspicuous in the 21st century, were not necessarily in the Three Kingdoms period.

He began to fix his eyes on places that he would have excluded at a glance before.

for example……

"Junior brother!" Zhao Yun suddenly whispered, "There is someone!"

Hearing this, Ling Han and Yang Zhen immediately kept quiet and stopped making a sound.

Sure enough, the sound of horseshoes could be faintly heard.

"It will be dark soon."

Yang Zhen lowered his voice and said: "How can there be someone riding a horse in this border area?"

The three of them quickly retreated to the lush grass beside the road and hid themselves.

Although the grass can't completely cover the horses, under the dark sky, as long as they don't make any noise, they shouldn't be noticed.

Ling Han observed the front.

With lightning speed, he instantly defeated the invading Ji Ling and Qiao Rui from Jiujiang.

Under such circumstances, is it possible that the people from Danyang dare to come and take the initiative to call?

The enemy has not been seen yet.

Zhao Yun judged from the voice, and said in a low voice, "There are five riders."

Soon, five people and five riders appeared in the field of vision.

Coincidentally, when they were about to reach the hiding place of the three, one of them stopped his horse and said, "Brother Ziyi, I really don't know what we have to spy on!"

Ziyi?

In ancient times, ordinary people did not have table characters.Ling Han silently began to recall, who in the Three Kingdoms is Ziyi?

He didn't remember that Tai Shici, the famous general of the Wu Kingdom, was named Ziyi.

Another person also echoed: "That's right! If the King of Changsha really wants to fight, wouldn't it be useful for us to find out half a day in advance? Will Danyang be able to hold it?"

Tai Shici quietly listened to his subordinates complaining, and finally said: "Since it is an order issued by the governor, we have to follow it. Speaking of these..."

In the middle of speaking, Tai Shici's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he shouted: "Who is hiding there!"

Several other people were surprised.Following Tai Shici's line of sight, he tried his best to check, only to find the horse hidden in the grass.

One of them said: "Hiding here at night, hum!"

He took out his bow and arrows and shot one of the horses.

Zhao Yun was already holding the weapon, and immediately jumped out upon seeing this.

The long spear slashed down heavily, knocking down the arrow feathers abruptly in mid-air, preventing the mount from being shot.

Yang Zhen rushed up with a knife in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Tai Shici sneered, "I don't know if I'm alive or not."

He didn't even move his body, he just stabbed forward with the gun in his hand,

Yang Zhen slashed at the opponent's first shot.

He realized that the enemy's strength was astonishing, and he was planning to dodge it temporarily, but he didn't expect that the opponent's subsequent attack would directly throw the weapon in his hand into the air!

The body receded uncontrollably.

Tai Shici was in a bad mood after being sent as a scout by the sheriff.

Seeing that the enemy in front of him was so vulnerable, he became even more irritable, and with his legs clamped between his horse's belly, he was about to rush forward and kill this person.

Ling Han, who was watching the battle not far away, froze.

Defeating Yang Zhen with one move, this level of skill is obviously two grades higher than Pei Yuanshao and his ilk.

Looking at the people under him, maybe even Sun Ce doesn't have this ability, I'm afraid only Zhao Yun can do it.

Yang Zhen was shocked.Looking at the spear that was stabbing straight at him, he thought that he would be pierced through the chest the next moment.

There was a blank in my mind, and the only thought was that I would never be by His Highness's side again.

At the very moment, another long silver spear came up to him.

The two guns collided violently and made a clank.

Zhao Yun whispered: "Go and protect His Highness."

Yang Zhen came back to his senses, and quickly retreated to Ling Han's side.

Seeing that Yang Zhen was successfully rescued, Ling Han also heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes fixed on the front.

He is naturally very confident in Zhao Yun's martial arts.

Except for Lu Bu, he didn't think it was possible for Zhao Yun to lose to anyone.

However, in the Yangzhou area, there are not many people who may have such skills.

Several names popped up quickly in Ling Han's mind, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Tai Shi Ci...

Not far away, the two guns were intertwined, and they were evenly matched for a moment.

Zhao Yun thought to himself, this person is quite capable.

After leaving Changshan for so long, he felt pressure in front of the enemy for the first time.

Tai Shici was even more surprised.

Being on the horse, he obviously had the upper hand, but he couldn't even suppress the opponent in the slightest.

Doesn't that mean that his martial arts are not as good as the white-robed boy in front of him?

Tai Shici gritted his teeth, exerted force with his right hand, and slammed outward.

The two guns separated, and both sides stopped temporarily.

Tai Shici got off his horse, and decided to have a fair and good fight with the young man.

Before starting the fight, he lifted his chin forward and said, "I am Danyang Taishici. Who are you, tell me your name!"

Zhao Yun said lightly: "Changshan Zhao Zilong."

Tai Shici was slightly taken aback, he had heard of this name before, and it was mentioned together with His Highness the King of Changsha.

Then the young man who has been standing behind without moving is... Changsha King Liu Ying! ?

For this legendary Highness, Tai Shici had complicated emotions.

His mother lived in Jizhou. If it hadn't been for the King of Changsha who defeated the Black Mountain Army, his mother would have met with misfortune.

But at the same time, his current benefactor Liu Yao regards the King of Changsha as his greatest enemy.

After only a while, Tai Shici stopped thinking about it.

There is nothing else today, only pure competition.

He raised his gun and pointed forward, and said: "Changshan Zhao Zilong, I have heard of this name before, and it is said that he is invincible in courage. Since we met today, we must ask for advice. If this is invincible If it's just a false name, the people behind you can only follow me."

When Zhao Yun heard this, his eyes instantly turned cold.

He clenched the silver gun tightly, twirled it slightly, and said: "Whether it is a false name or not, you will know soon."
