Chapter 567

"On August 25, the headquarters could not overcome the Shangshan crossing and retreated."

"The Tang army pursued at the end of the rank. Zhao Wu led the Fu army to three hundred forbidden guards, broke the enemy's two hundred, and the enemy retreated."

"It's a service. Our army lost 296 sergeants. The Tang army lost more than 400, and the wounded were not counted."

In the Shangshu room, the little eunuch read the Jiangzhou military newspaper and peered at Su Lu in a nervous tone.

Although Jiangzhou was not a big defeat this time, it didn't win the Tang army. According to the invincible temperament of the Lord, I'm afraid it's not necessary to clean up Zhao Wu. In case the Lord gets angry, he will vent his anger.

That would be bad luck to grandma's house.

Dong Cheng took the lead in getting up among the senior members of the army

"Lord, although the Jiangzhou army failed to overcome the Shangshan crossing, it still blocked the Tang army from entering China's Han Dynasty. Although it had, it was not big."

Zhao Pu also got up and said

"I intend to urge governor Zhao to continue to March and break through the Gaoyang department. If there are difficulties, the military department can send a team of birds to help."

The white headed old general Xiao Cong jumped up

"No, birds are our army's sharp weapon. We have to go out to deal with the Tang army. It's not right, it's not right, how our army should deal with the Taixi people and the British."

Zhao Pu argued that "our army can't win the Tang army. What else should we do to deal with the Tibetans? If we can't defeat the Tang army, we can't keep it. What else will we have in the future?"

"It's serious, Zhao Shilang."

Zhou Ping spoke next to him and stopped Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu woke up when he heard the speech. He was a little over. The imperial court did not have no available generals. Li Kun, Wang Si and Hua Xun, the four generals of ZTE alone, and the other three generals, as long as they could transfer one to the past, they could beat Gao Yang crying for his father and mother.

Not to mention the civil and military gods, who are invincible to the Fourth Army. The imperial court now focuses on recuperating and recovering the damage caused to the country by successive wars. It is not impossible to fight.

"I made a mistake, Lord, but the state of Tang is our great enemy after all. We can't take it lightly."

Su Lu withdrew his pen and looked at the ministers in Shang's study.

"Gao Yang is not invincible. If I want to send anyone here, I can defeat him. But what is the significance of doing so?"

"As we all know, in recent years, there have been some rebellions in addition to Rouran. There is basically no place in our country to use troops. If the army does not experience training and war, it will be difficult to use it."

"I intend to use the state of Tang as a sharpening stone. At the Shangshan road crossing, I will continuously dispatch all the troops to replace training with actual combat to maintain the combat effectiveness of all the troops. After the war starts again, there are available soldiers and soldiers who are good at fighting."

"Let the land of Shangshan become a sharpener for our army."

Zhou Ping nodded and said

"My generation can't match the long-term consideration of the Lord. However, the transfer of the guard is troublesome and can't be completed in ten days and a half months. If we waste our supplies, will the gains outweigh the losses?"

Su Lu laughed when he heard the speech, ordered the land war to unfold the deployment map, pointed to a curved line recently drawn on it and said

"Look here, do you know what this is?"

Xiao Cong jumped up first

"It's the stone track. Last time I accompanied my old woman back to Jiangzhou zongmen. I saw the stone track all the way. It was almost paved to Wangjiang."

Then the old man lifted his feet and complained

"Lord, it's really difficult to walk your stone track. I went to Jiangzhou and worn two pairs of boots."

Su Lu glanced at Xiao Cong and said, "this stone track is not for people, but for cars."

Xiao Cong waved again and again, "don't mention the Lord. In response to you, I specially ordered the coachman to take the stone track. Didn't I take the carriage? I took the carriage and broke the horse's leg before I left the southern suburbs of the capital."

Su Lu's face turned black. "That's the way for the wooden wheel car, not for your carriage. The stone rails and sleepers are staggered. Thanks to you, who were still the general who led the army, you can't see the real purpose of the stone track."

"Well, when the stone track is laid and the first wooden wheel car goes online, I'll invite General Xiao to take a ride in person."

Zhao Pu asked, "Lord, if you take this stone track, how long will it take from our capital to Jiangzhou?"

"About a day and night."

Su Lu answered.

Next to him, Dong Cheng said in surprise, "one day and night, that's two days. It takes only two days to travel from the capital to Jiangzhou in the daytime. It's really too fast. Lord, our Xuanfu and Diaoyin also need to connect the stone track. No, we'd better go to Hanshui City, which is also convenient for us to mobilize troops to suppress Tule."

Su Lu narrowed his eyes. "It's not two days, it's one day and night. Wooden wheeled cars can run at night."

Zhou Ping looked puzzled, "but I can't see my fingers at night. I'm afraid something will happen?"

Su Lu waved his hand to stop several people from asking questions, "you'll know when it's finished. Don't talk about this now. The Shangshan war we're discussing, the Shangshan road crossing of gaoyangtun army of Tang state, and Zhao Wu's victory is OK. Let him continue to guard Shangshan."

The generals had no opinion, but they began to quarrel about the deployment of troops.

The metropolitan governors of the four major camps in the capital require their own families to go first. After all, garrison troops in the capital is the least exposed to war, and the strength of the sergeants of the four major camps in the capital is the fastest to decline.

Then came the armies of various states. Xitingtun had the largest number of troops and had not experienced the most war. It had not experienced war for more than three years.

The army headquarters quarreled with the governors of the four battalions again.

Su Lu patted his growing head and ordered the little eunuch standing next to the imperial table.

"Go and see if there is a new fold outside Shang's study. If there is, take it in. While they are arguing, I can deal with more political affairs."

The little eunuch slipped away. Without much Kung Fu, he came in with a stack of new memorials and put them on the imperial case.

"My Lord, Wang Dani, Lord Wang of ordnance mansion, is waiting outside. He says that the battle ship has an eyebrow. The officials of the warship division have drawn a size map. Please have a look."

Su Lu nodded and told him to bring Dani in.

Dani came in with a pile of brochures in her arms and saluted Su Lu.

"I've seen the Lord. This is the atlas sent by the warship division. They have finished exploring the shape of the battle ship and want to ask the Lord to correct it."

All the military officials and generals in the Shangshu room looked at Dani. The battle ship had an eyebrow. Doesn't that mean that in a few years, the country should have warships to fight with the British, rather than relying on the Luojiang navy to fight fiercely on the Xiaojiang River.

Su Lu took the album, looked through it and asked

"Have you started yet? Now is the right time to start shipbuilding in Wangjiang. The boaters don't have to worry about water cooling and can get on and off the ship at any time."

Dani shook her head

"Although the people of the Lu family have some skills, they are not sure they can make it, but they are groping forward."

After reading the atlas, Su Lu took the pen, drew a few symbols and handed them back to Dani.

"The sail and shape are OK. Maybe the proportion is wrong, but it's not a big problem. There's one thing that needs to be improved. I made a sketch. Only with this new structure can the warship be fast."

"How about the Bichon fighting ship?"

Zhou Ping asked nearby. He was the Minister of the Ministry of war. He also looked at the documents of the warship division. The first thing he thought about was the comparison of combat power.
