Chapter 681

"Emperor, I understand. I will go to discuss this with song Changping."

Lu Tong looks a little excited. This kind of fire cap is very interesting.

Xiao Ming nodded. Generally speaking, the level of firearms in Qingzhou is basically the same as that in Europe. Both sides use flint guns, small batch rifles, field guns and other firearms.

If he used the same weapons to fight with Western forces, Xiao Ming would have no advantage and would probably fall into a protracted war of mutual consumption.

Therefore, any progress is needed at this time. If the firecap is made successfully this time, he will be a little better than Europe in firearms.

When Lu Tonggang was about to leave, Xiao Ming suddenly thought of something. He said, "by the way, you need to communicate with Lin Wentao, song Changping, Chen Qi and others frequently. Only in this way can you exchange what you need. Maybe what Lin Wentao makes is what you need, and what you make is what Lin Wentao needs. Only in this way can Qingzhou's technology be improved as a whole, without changing You beat your drum, he beat his Gong. "

"Yes, emperor, I remember." Lu Tong bowed.

After talking about it, Xiao Ming asks Lu Tong about the chemical industry, which makes him leave.

Now the north is about to be unified. After that, it will be the stage of recuperation and upgrading of industry. Now he is preparing for this.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking of Niu Zhen and others. Now the war in the north is in their hands, and he just hopes to end it soon.

After all, the situation is constantly changing, and the longer the delay, the worse it will be for them.

Qingzhou.

After the war of Juyongguan, Niu Zhen concentrated most of his troops in Qingzhou. At the same time, he asked the king of Huainan and Chen Xinran to leave 20000 troops to guard Juyongguan, and the western expedition left 20000 troops to cooperate with them.

On the day of defeating the Zhao army, the barbarians chose to retreat. The barbarians are not fools. If they continue to stay, they will only suffer more casualties.

"In the first World War of Juyongguan, the strength of the Zhao army was greatly damaged. They could no longer fight with us in the field. They had to rely on natural danger to stop us. Generally speaking, the offensive and defensive situation has changed. Now we should take the initiative to completely solve the problem of King Zhao."

Said Niu Zhen in the tent.

The king of Huainan nodded, "general Niu is right. That day, the barbarians in Juyongguan and the Zhao army were in collusion. It can be seen that the barbarians wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits. If this war continues, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for the barbarians to intervene."

"General Niu, you can give an order. The army is very important and fast. As long as you capture hulaoguan and Chang'an, the whole world of Dayu will be settled." Chen Xinran said that now the only rebel left in the state of Dayu is king Zhao.

Although the king of Chu was still in the south of the Yangtze River, he had become a minister to Xiao Ming after all.

Niu Zhen nodded when he heard the speech. "This is also the reason why the general called you here today. Today, the army will start to pull out, and we will win Hulao pass and Chang'an in one fell swoop to pacify the north."

"Yes, general." The generals looked excited, and they were waiting for the day when they were going to ride the horses in Chang'an.

Huainan king and Chen Xinran look at each other and ask the Ministry to gather soldiers to get out of the city.

Three days later, the Allied forces appeared in front of Hulao pass.

Hulao pass is a powerful pass in the east of Luoyang. If you conquer this pass, you can occupy Luoyang. If you conquer Tongguan pass from Luoyang stronghold, you can take Chang'an directly.

This time, with the determination to capture Chang'an, Niu Zhen came to Hulao pass and mercilessly shelled the walls and gates of Hulao pass.

In the first battle of Juyong Pass, the king of Zhao almost pressed all the elite of the Zhao army. The guards left behind in Hulao pass were only the ministers loyal to him when Chang'an was defeated.

The general of hulaoguan had never seen such a formation before, and he was immediately frightened by the artillery and his legs trembled.

When he could beg for mercy from King Zhao, the general of Hulao pass could also beg for mercy from Niu Zhen. In the fourth round of shelling, the general of Hulao pass ordered people to open the gate and went out to meet Niu Zhen.

"Chen Guodong, you are a good wallflower." Luo Hong is also familiar with the generals of hulaoguan. At this time, he can't help saying sarcastically.

Chen Guodong is a medium-sized man with a dark complexion. When he saw Luo Hong and Niu Zhen, he immediately put on a servile look and said, "general Niu, general Luo, although I'm in Zhaoying, my heart has always been on the side of the emperor. Because of this, I'm willing to go out and surrender. I hope you can learn from him."

When Niu Zhen and Luo Hong learned that the guard General of Hulao pass was Chen Guodong, they decided to shell and scare him. They all knew Chen Guodong and knew that he knew current affairs very well.

"Let's not mention it for the moment. I will only ask you how many people and soldiers are there in Luoyang City?" Asked Niu Zhen.

Referring to this matter, Chen Guodong sighed and said to Niu Zhen, "general Niu has no idea. Now Luoyang has become an empty city!"

"an empty city!" Niu Yu was shocked.

Chen Guodong nodded, "just ten days ago, the king of Zhao suddenly ordered the people in Luoyang City to be driven to Tongguan, and the whole Luoyang City was set on fire. All the people who refused to leave were killed, and the king of Zhao said that if the general attacked Tongguan, he would burn Chang'an and drive all the people back to Zhao.""That's ridiculous!" Niu Zhen was so angry that he said, "what's the difference between this guy and Dong Zhuo?"

Chen Guodong, with a sad look, said, "general, it's because he doesn't want to go with the king of Zhao that his subordinates refuse to go to Tongguan and wait for the general here."

"Fart! It must be the king of Zhao who doesn't look up to you and keeps you in the tiger prison to work for him. You have a beautiful word to say. " Luo Hong snorted.

Chen Guodong's words also made him angry. Chang'an City has his relatives.

After being scolded by Luo Hong, Chen Guodong didn't dare to say any more, and his body trembled.

Lu Fei then said to Niu Zhen, "general, the king of Zhao is forcing us to withdraw. If we fall into his treacherous plan, we are afraid that the barbarians will come, and the war will be difficult. At least we have to win Tongguan. In this way, the barbarians must break the pass if they want to come in."

Niu Zhen's eyes gradually became firm. He said, "you're right. At this time, we can't mess up the righteousness because of Xiao Ren."

He looked at Chen Guodong and said, "if you want to save your life, you have to listen to this general now. Now you immediately let your soldiers take off their general clothes."

"Out of uniform?" Chen Guodong doubts.

"Don't talk nonsense!" roared Luo Hong.

Chen Guodong seemed to be afraid of Luo Hong, and immediately asked his soldiers to take off their armor.

At this time, Niu Zhen ordered the Qingzhou army to take off his uniform and replace it with the uniform of Chen Guodong's soldiers.

"Chen Guodong, this is your chance to survive. If you can help general ben to take Tongguan without knowing it, general Ben will say a few good words for you in front of the emperor."

Niu Zhen pondered and said that he already had a care in his heart.
