Su Lu sat behind the handsome case, looked at the stewed rabbit and fried vegetables just brought by Changning, looked at Changning sitting in the chair, and asked in doubt.
"Why, kill your rabbit and shed tears?"
Changning chuckled and laughed. Tears rolled on her cheeks. I don't know whether it was sadness or joy.
"You just shed tears."
"I met an old man selling vegetables. I thought of things at home. When I was a child, my family was poor and had many children. My father went around the streets and sold some vegetables and radishes planted in the fields to supplement his livelihood. My family still had no money. Early on, my father was tired and bent."
Su Lu took a sip of soup and his cheeks were full of sobs: "yes, the government doesn't act. Everyone's life is hard."
Changning suddenly burst into tears and smiled proudly. "Then you are wrong. My Lord, since his majesty took office, with the support of your integrated army, he has promoted many improvements. Just potatoes and sweet potatoes, there are no more people starving in our Han country."
"My father doesn't worry about the food and drink at home now. My eldest brother has six children, all of whom are growing well. Without these potatoes and sweet potatoes, who can eat enough."
Cao Hua came in from the outside, holding a military affairs booklet in his hand. Wen Yan also said.
"Yes, we did too. When I was a child, my family had a hard time. Grandpa offended the people of the family. Although his surname was Cao, he was excluded by the people and could only live on a meager salary. Later, master came and changed his salary. My father's salary was higher, so it was easier."
Speaking of this, Cao Hua's eyes suddenly turned red and thought of his dead father. He ran away all year round for the livelihood of his family. When he died in the war, he didn't see his father.
Cao Hua kept on saying, "later, when I left the army, my family's life was better. Those poor relatives in the past didn't bother my family anymore because potatoes and sweet potatoes. In recent years, I moved to the capital, and there was less disturbance."
"This is the new army we have integrated and trained in recent months, as well as the logistics and materials continuously sent from the rear. Most of them are potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Cao Hua reluctantly said that the Han country has less land and more barren mountains. Only potatoes and sweet potatoes are suitable for planting.
Su Lu nodded: "it's good to have sweet potatoes and potatoes. You're so picky. Be careful that you don't have to eat potatoes in the future. By the way, don't let Dong Ling do it alone. You can also step in and see how Dong Ling does it."
Cao Hua nodded: "I've learned a lot from watching captain Dong work these days."
"Master, when will we start? More and more people have fled from the two cities of sunrang and Qinglin these days. They all say that the barbarians in the two cities are cruel and almost do all kinds of evil."
Su Lu readily agreed and said, "in this way, the training of the new army is almost the same. You and Wang Si lead an army respectively, sweep the villages and towns near the two cities along the avenue to the west, and drive out the remaining barbarians."
Cao Hua took orders. Just as he was about to go out, the Marines hurried in.
"Dushuai, there are Taixi people outside the city."
Su Lu pushed away his job and walked out.
"Let's go and see what the tessi want to do."
The party went out of the camp and went to the head of Xicheng. They saw a line of Thai soldiers outside the city and two birds flying in the air. However, the shape of the birds has changed a lot. There are more wings on both sides, and the shape of the wings has also changed.
Su Lu turned his head and said, "go, call the people of the flying bird camp, order them to draw these, and let the people of the Ordnance Department go back to study and see if the improvement in this direction will make the flying birds faster and fly higher."
A herald took command.
At the foot of the city came the cries of the texi.
"Listen to the people at the city head. I'm general rotley, a subordinate of Roberts, a former Secretary of the army under the seat of the great emperor of the West empire. I've been ordered to present the credentials. Please pass on King Sulu and ask him to pick up the credentials in person."
With this saying, I saw the birds in the sky suddenly move and come towards the city.
"Birds aiming at the sky"
Cao Hua waved his hand and ordered.
The catapults and bed crossbows at the head of the city raised their heads one after another, and the dark arrows tilted upward. Once the bird approached the wall, it was ready to shoot.
"Put"
As soon as the birds entered the shooting, Cao Hua waved without hesitation.
"Whoosh, whoosh"
The crossbow and bed crossbow poured out, and the sky over the city wall was instantly covered with black arrows.
"Jingle jingle"
All kinds of noises are incessant, and the strength of crossbows and arrows is insufficient. When shooting on birds, most of them can only go into the surface, and they can't go in again.
"Bang bang"
The catapult was finally launched, and the thick crossbow bombarded the birds. The originally stable birds immediately shook up.
"Bang bang"
More than a dozen catapults at the head of the city were fired at the same time. In the violent impact sound, birds began to shake.
"Stop it"
"Stop, you're offending my tessi empire."
The Taixi army general under the city turned pale, but he shouted at his throat.
"Boom"
The bird finally disintegrated and fell to the ground. A large number of parts fell to the ground with arrows. The two bird soldiers were full of arrows and fell to the ground. They couldn't die anymore.
"You are going to be an enemy of my tessi empire!"
The Thai West army will be yelled angrily, sit on the horse, point the whip at the head of the city, yell and scold loudly.
Cao Hua's face was cold, and his arm pointed down to the city's g ō ngn ǔ Immediately turned the direction and pointed to the Thai Western army general under the city.
"You're trying to cut yourself off from me, Tessie."
Pointed by countless arrows, the general swallowed his curses and scolds.
Su Lu looked at the angry Thai West army general and asked, holding the battlements.
"What's your name, where are you in tessi, any job?"
Accompanied by Su Lu's questions, there was a creaking sound of bow string trembling at the head of the city. This was the sound made by the machine when the crossbow was in the excited state and the bow string was opened to the maximum.
The general of the West Thai Army turned pale. He knew that if he was careless, he might become the dead envoy of the two countries.
"Ben McMahon, the commander of the eastern expedition corps of the Taixi Empire and the 100 member regiment of the Qin local army."
Su Lu nodded and continued: "you're here to threaten me. Su Lu is here. If I don't listen to your threat, will your Taixi people go out to attack the square city?"
McMahon's face is whiter. What the fuck should I answer.
I said yes, you may kill me in a rage. Anyway, you will be attacked soon. It seems that it's no big deal to kill an envoy.
I said no, it's so special. It's too morale boosting for the other party. The key is to go back and tell the general that I'm afraid of death, so I said that the Empire dare not attack the square city. Damn, the general will kill me.
