Chapter 551 Playing with Fire
After leaving the headache to the people in the imperial city, Yunzheng settled down to deal with his own affairs.
"What are you thinking about?"
On the way back to Gubian from the coal mine, Miaoyin saw that Yunzheng was a little distracted and couldn't help but ask.
"nothing."
Yun Zheng smiled, "I was just thinking about how to make cement production faster."
Yunzheng has already taken out the original cement.
Fortunately, the slag from iron-making also came in handy.
Through simple tests, the strength of this cement is acceptable.
However, it is certainly incomparable to modern cement.
The key is that the production efficiency is really low.
Speaking of cement, Miaoyin was even more curious, "Did you read the method of making this cement from that ancient book?"
"Yes!" Yun Zheng nodded and smiled.
"This ancient book you mentioned is really magical."
Miaoyin marveled, "The person who wrote that book must be a genius!"
A genius?
Isn't he a genius?
That is the crystallization of the wisdom of so many people!
But unfortunately, he is only half-experienced.
Not even half-assed.
Alas, forget it!
How to improve production efficiency is left to those in the cement workshops of the future!
There are experts among the people!
Many things are constantly improved in production practice.
You'd better be obedient and put out the money to offer a reward and let the workers brainstorm ideas!
Having made up his mind, Yun Zheng stopped worrying about this matter.
While the two were walking and chatting, several cavalrymen appeared at the end of their sight.
Several people came galloping all the way, and after meeting Yun Zheng's team, they quickly dismounted and trotted up to Yun Zheng, "Your Majesty, the leading team from Beihuan has arrived at Gubian. The leader, Gu Ge, said that there is something important. Please see Your Highness! In addition, Beihuan’s follow-up troops have passed Bailang Lake, and General Yu has led his troops to respond!”
"it is good!"
Yunzheng smiled with satisfaction and asked again: "Did Guge tell me what the important matter is?"
"No."
The visitor replied: "Guge originally wanted to see Princess Gayao first, but no one dared to let her go without His Highness's permission! However, looking at Guge's appearance, it should be a very urgent matter."
Is it something urgent?
Yunzheng thought for a moment and immediately ordered the team to speed up to Gubian.
When it was getting dark, Yunzheng and the others finally rushed back to Gubian.
At this moment, Guge was running around anxiously.
Seeing Yun Zheng walking in under the protection of Tong Gang and others, Gu Ge quickly asked: "Is your Majesty the King of Jingbei?"
"Not bad!"
Yunzheng nodded slightly, "I heard that you have something to ask me to see the king?"
"I've met King Jingbei!"
Guge first lowered his posture and saluted Yunzheng, and then said hurriedly: "I am Guge, the commander of the Royal Guards. I kindly ask you to let me see Princess Gayao first, and then I will report all the important things..."
"Come with me!"
Yun Zheng didn't bother to talk to him and led Gu Ge to the small courtyard where Jia Yao was under house arrest.
Soon, Yunzheng took Guge to find Gayao.
Although Jia Yao has been under house arrest in Gubian these days, Yunzheng and Jia Yao have very little time to see each other.
The last time he saw Jia Yao was probably five or six days ago.
Compared with last time, Ga Yao seemed to be thinner.
Even though Yun Zheng had never been harsh on Ga Yao in terms of food, Ga Yao was still losing weight day by day.
Yunzheng knew that Jia Yao's weight loss was due to too much psychological pressure.
However, he never comforted Gayao.
In their relationship, if he comes to comfort Gayao again, he is more or less suspected of being a cat crying over a mouse.
Looking at the thin Gayao, Gu Ge couldn't help but have red eyes.
"Princess……"
Guge's voice trembled, and he felt like something was blocked in his throat.
"I am fine."
Jiayao waved his hand tiredly, "Put away your tears! Don't let others see the joke of my Beihuan man!"
"Yes!"
Gu Ge took the order and wiped the tears from his eyes casually.
"I said, do you still want to talk about the serious business?"
Yun Zheng frowned and looked at Gu Ge, and said impatiently: "If you don't say anything, I will go to rest!"
"Tell me, tell me!"
Guge didn't care to feel sorry for Jia Yao anymore, and said hurriedly: "We have received news that the ghosts are likely to unite Dayue Kingdom and Qiu Chi to attack us in the autumn!"
Listening to Guge's words, Jia Yao couldn't help but trembled.
To be honest, it is not unusual for the ghosts to attack Beihuan.
Beihuan is like this now, it would be strange if the ghosts don't take advantage of it!
However, she did not expect that Guifang would join forces with Dayue Kingdom and Qiu Chi to launch an attack on their territory.
After a brief period of confusion, Jia Yao suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.
This may not be bad news for Beihuan.
When these three countries unite, they will definitely divide their forces into two groups.
As expected, they should have sent troops all the way from the ghost side, crossed Quanrong's territory, and directly attacked Qinlin Grassland.
The other route should be to send troops from Qiuchi, cross Beimuo Tuo's territory, and attack Muma Grassland.
But now, Muma Grassland belongs to Daqian.
With Yun Zheng's character, as long as the opponent dares to attack here, Yun Zheng will definitely beat him to death.
From now on, Daqian will be forced to be involved in this war, and she no longer needs to worry about Yunzheng sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
It would be more effective for the enemy to harm Yun Zheng's interests than any alliance they could make with Yun Zheng!
Yun Zheng frowned slightly and asked suspiciously: "Where did you get this news?"
"Let me tell you this!"
Jiayao took over the conversation, "When we defeated Guifang six years ago, we planted a traitor on Guifang to ensure that if there was any change on Guifang, we would get the news as soon as possible..."
A traitor?
Yun Zheng lowered his eyebrows in thought.
His judgment was also consistent with Gayao's.
If the three countries jointly send troops, it can basically be determined in advance that the troops will be sent in two directions.
They had previously threatened Qiu Chi with force to withdraw troops from Beimuo Tuo's territory.
It is reasonable for Qiu Chi to want to regain his place with them.
It is reasonable for the ghosts to want to rob Beihuan while he is weak!
But what kind of thing is this Big Moon Country?
He hasn't even fought yet, but Dayue Kingdom still dares to get involved in this matter?
This damn guy is a typical example of someone who has never been beaten by society!
Yun Zheng complained for a while, then asked Guge: "Have they determined the specific time for sending troops?"
"The specific time should not be determined yet."
Gu Ge replied: "We just received news that these three countries have been in close contact recently, and the ghosts are preparing an army..."
The approximate time of the attack is fairly certain.
Basically it should be around the autumn harvest.
In this way, when their army officially began to attack, both Daqian and Beihuan had completed their autumn harvest.
This is the time to loot!
Their own country has also completed its autumn harvest, which can ensure subsequent supplies of food and grass.
Is that so?
Yunzheng began to think deeply again.
If the news is true, then Qiu Chi is playing with fire!
It is a bit far for the Beifu Army to attack Guifang, but it is not very far to attack Qiuchi.
If the news is true, he can consider killing Qiu Chi first before the enemy army completes its concentration of troops!
Yunzheng thought for a while, then immediately called Tong Gang forward and whispered in his ear.
After a while, Tong Gang took the order and left...
