In the Yumen pass that night,
In the huge military tent, Merton looked at the secret letter in his hand and frowned.
Although Hou Junji is the Lord general in power, he can't cover the sky with one hand. On the night Merton arrived at Yumen pass, someone warned Merton.
"Hou Junji is really like what later generations said. He is arrogant and boastful, and he will repay any evil." Merton shook his head and said that the Mojia village was too busy for himself. He didn't want to participate in the western expedition. Hou Junji personally asked him to agree. In addition, postponing the western expedition was something Hou Junji had promised. He had moved from years later to years ago, a month earlier, Once on the road, he was even faster and hurried to Yumen pass without stopping for a moment. Unexpectedly, Hou Junji still hated him.
"Fortunately, with the help of general Su, the firearm warden used the unique skills of Mohism to turn the snow disaster into benefit, which enabled him to come as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the crime of missing the time must be avoided." Xue Rengui said happily. Once the firearms prison is charged with the crime of missing time, the Mo family, as a son-in-law, may escape, and the whole firearms prison may be cleaned.
"It seems that the firearm supervisor should be careful!" Merton nodded and suddenly exclaimed, "no, it seems that the firearm supervisor has implicated general Su this time!"
With Hou Junji's character, now he has lost face in the firearms prison. He will certainly vent his anger and help Su dingfang in the firearms prison, not to mention that Su dingfang and Hou Junji still have deeper disputes.
Hou Junji has an extremely persistent desire for military merit. Even in order to improve his military ability, he does not hesitate to lower his status and worship Li Jing as a teacher. However, Li Jing believes that Hou Junji has an improper mind and does not teach Hou Junji all his military skills.
Su dingfang is a proud disciple of Li Jing and has won the true biography of Li Jing. In this way, Hou Junji and Su dingfang naturally have deep contradictions, but the apparent relationship between teachers and brothers has not been broken.
"Now hou Junji wants to win over Merton, but Su dingfang helped Merton, which must be the fuse between the two martial brothers." Merton sighed helplessly.
Sure enough, three days later, Su dingfang arrived at the Yumen pass and found the door at the first time.
"Please help me!" Su dingfang asked for help directly.
Merton's heart sank, frowned and said, "what happened."
Su dingfang sighed: "general Hou got mohou's method of breaking the snow disaster, decided to send troops to Gaochang in advance and ordered the logistics to borrow mohou hats and dry food of 100000 troops."
"So fast?" Morton was surprised. He didn't expect Hou Junji to be so anxious. However, thinking about it, if he set out one day earlier, he would have more confidence in victory. Once the army had mohou hat, it would be enough to resist the cold and come and go freely in the snow disaster. Although Hou Junji was arrogant, his military literacy was very high, so he naturally seized the opportunity.
Su dingfang nodded and said: "It's not difficult to just be the mohou hat of the 100000 army. As long as there are enough cotton and enough female workers, it can be easily made. It happens that there is no shortage of these two points in the northwest. The only difficulty is the military food of the 100000 army. This is a Gobi desert with a distance of 2000 miles. There is no firewood to make a fire. The soldiers can only feed their hunger with dry food. This is a great project."
Merton frowned and said, "but the army is short of food?"
"No, thanks to the guidance of mohou and the shortcut of brick road, Su has already transported enough grain and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops to Yumen pass for months. However, in order to store and transport, most of the logistics are grain such as wheat, which can not be eaten directly. It needs to be ground into flour and made into dry food. This is what bothers Su most."
Merton immediately expressed deep sympathy. The dry food of 100000 troops for months was not a small amount. Coupled with Hou Junji's sudden request for advance, Su dingfang was in a dilemma. Although there was a reason, if he couldn't finish it, he would certainly be heckled by Hou Junji.
"This matter has nothing to do with mohou. Su didn't want to involve mohou, but Su really had no choice, and mohou was resourceful and had the courage to ask mohou for an idea." Su dingfang apologized.
Merton waved his hand and said, "brother Su, what's your explanation? If brother Su didn't help you all the way to the western expedition, Mo would certainly be unable to escape the crime of missing the time. Today, brother Su is in trouble, Mo would certainly help you with all his strength."
Su dingfang ordered the post station and logistics troops to help Merton on his way. Merton naturally kept this kindness in mind. Now Merton took out a token and said, "don't worry, brother su. Take this token and all the meat cans of the Mohist family in Longyou will be dispatched by brother su."
Canned meat is ready to eat. It can be eaten as long as it is opened. There are not many canned meat sold by Mohists in Longyou, which is enough to cover a lot of dry food.
"Thank you!" Su dingfang accepted the token, but did not leave. Compared with the cost of hundreds of thousands of troops for months, the canned meat in Longyou is just a drop in the bucket. Moreover, even if the Mohists sell enough canned meat, he can't afford it. Is it true that the root of the problem is to grind a large amount of wheat grain into flour and make dry food in a short time The right way, and this can only be achieved by Mohism.
"Grind it into flour in a short time." Merton frowned. "Then mobilize human and material resources to seize the time. There are so many horses in Yumen gate. It's not enough for you."
Su dingfang said with a wry smile, "manpower and horsepower are enough, but I'm afraid it's too late to build a millstone now."
Merton thought thoughtfully, "so what you need is to grind the surface at the fastest speed under the current grinding plate."
"Yes, now Su can only place his hope on Mohist ink technology." Su dingfang looked at Merton with a hopeful face. He hoped that Mohist Zi could continue the magic of Mohist ink technology and solve his problem.
However, to his disappointment, Merton shook his head without hesitation and said, "this can't be done with the existing ink technology."
"Ah!" Su dingfang was disappointed.
At this time, a gust of wind mixed with cold air blew into the firearm supervision tent. Merton was frozen. Suddenly, he had an idea and stepped out of the tent despite the cold. In an instant, the strong northwest wind chilled his whole body to the bone.
"Hahaha! Brother Su, do you know about the ink art exhibition just finished by Mohism!" Merton laughed loudly without fear of the cold wind.
Su dingfang nodded. He was in charge of the post station. The news was the most well-informed. Naturally, he knew the news of the ink technology exhibition, and Merton delayed his departure because of the ink technology exhibition.
Merton opened his arms and let the strong northwest wind disturb his clothes. He said proudly, "it is naturally impossible to do it with the existing ink technology of the Mohist school, but the ink technology of the Mohist School in the future can't do it."
Su dingfang moved in his heart and suddenly said, "is it the wind that mohou said?"
He immediately thought of Merton's idea of turning the power of heaven and earth into human use in the ink technology exhibition, as well as the Mohist's huge dam plan. Naturally, there are no rushing rivers in the northwest, but only howling winds.
Merton laughed and said, "yes, the power contained in the northwest wind blowing all over the desert is so huge. If we can make use of a trace, it will be enough for brother Su to get through the difficulties."
Merton naturally thought of the rotating blades everywhere in the northwest in later generations. Of course, this time he didn't want to build a wind turbine, but a wind mill.
