Calendula.

Fu felt embarrassed when she wanted to say these two words. It was really too vulgar.

She didn't have a big name because the woman's big name was basically useless, and the military general Fu Yanqing was too lazy to give her; she only had a nickname, which was the jinzhan... When she was a child, someone called her the big Jinzhan, which was even more unpleasant.

When Fu was born, Fu Yanqing was very happy and took a golden cup and gave it to her as a toy to play with.

Then the wet nurse called her Jinzhan first, and then the elders who were close to her called her, and she became her nickname.

Fortunately, I heard that ordinary children also have people named Goudan Shugen, and the cheaper the name, the easier it is to support them; the rich family of Fu family was embarrassed to do this, so they could barely get through it after taking a jinkang.

No one has called this nickname for many years, and now even her father Fu Yanqing doesn't call it that way.

The wet nurse and biological mother both passed away. Maybe the only one who remembered this name was Fu Yanqing, but who knew he had forgotten it.

Anyway, the emperor didn't know the name.

You don’t need to write anything, just tell Jingniang that these two words are answers.Fu knew how to write secret letters, but she didn't write them, and she didn't keep the things she sent, but only remembered them in her heart.

She believes that a person may find anything in his heart, but no one can find anything in his heart.Only what you think in your heart can be free and unrestrained without any restrictions.

Although there are only two words, Jing Niang wants to travel from Tokyo to Huainan to deliver the message.

Perhaps these two words contain a lot of content... At least Fu herself thinks that this nickname is more important. In this world, if Fu Yanqing forgets it, then only she will remember it.

……

When Jingniang arrived in Yangzhou, Huainan, it was already September, and the season was already late autumn and early winter.

Jinzhan, Jingniang also quietly explained in his ear: It is her nickname.

Guo Shao immediately understood, remembering that the letter said that he wanted to know her name.

Now she said that not only proved that she was not angry at Guo Shao's rudeness, but responded to him... Before the Shouzhou War, Guo Shao was indeed in a low mood and had no time to consider it. He was just a letter written in impulse.

He thought he was going to die, and it was nothing to say before he was going to die.

When a person's life is threatened, it is easy to do things that cannot be done normally.

It would be fine if you were accidentally stabbed to death by someone. The process of knowing that you are going to die and waiting for that moment to come is really panic.

But now it's all gone.

The two words "Mallows" really contain too much.Guo Shao can think of some things right away, but there are still some things that need to be savored slowly. A woman’s heart is a needle!

Guo Shao sat by the window with his eyes closed and stopped talking. He didn't care about Jingniang for a while... Please allow me to indulge in fantasy first.

... Unexpectedly, before he could fully feel the taste, the personal soldiers' report disturbed his beautiful dream: the emperor summoned him.

Guo Shao quickly stood up and went to the bedroom to find the official uniform to change. After turning around, he saw Jing Niang and Yang looking at each other and looking at each other.

Guo Shao said: This is Jing Niang, Yang Niang, you can trust her.I'll go to meet the saint first.

He brought a personal follower and rode a horse to the palace of yesterday with the general who reported the news.But today it is not in the main hall, but in a smaller room, it looks like a tea room.

There were no civil and military officials, but there were only two people in total: Chai Rong, who sat in front of Zhang Mu Chou, and Wang Pu, who was the lower leader... There was only one person beside the emperor, not Wei Renpu, but Wang Pu.

Wang Pu should be in his fifties, but he looks very old.

He was actually summoned by the emperor in private. Guo Shao was flattered for a moment and hurriedly kowtowed: I am summoned to pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live a long life.

Get up, get up.Chai Rong's speech was not as majestic as usual, but rather gentle.

When Guo Shao got up carefully, he looked at the emperor from the light of his eyes, but saw him having a deliberate smile on his face... Is this a good thing or a bad thing?Guo Shao stood below with his teeth gritted his teeth, waiting for the emperor's question.

Unexpectedly, the person who spoke first was Wang Pu. Wang Pu asked with a good word: I heard that General Guo attacked Shouzhou and blew the city wall several meters wide. It seemed that he was using "Guuld Powder" (the Taoist term for gunpowder). How did General Guo do it?

Chai Rong immediately said kindly: Since ancient times, the military generals have had some special skills. Deputy envoy Wang should not ask for it. If Guo Shao is unwilling to say it, forget it.

Wang Pu said: There are many important cities and cities in Huainan. If you can still make the same mistakes, you can save a lot of time in Huainan, which is related to the military and national strategy.

Chai Rong said: Then you can't force others. At that time, there is a city that cannot be defeated, so just send Guo Shao to it.

Ancient military generals had some special skills to use to pass on their families, and they wanted to use them to achieve the family of military generals and were absolutely unwilling to teach them to others; just like famous craftsmen from all walks of life, they would not teach them all, and some skills were passed down from generation to generation by their sons and daughters... Legend has it that Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty wrote down his own set of training and military training and management to pass on the world because he had no descendants in his family, otherwise it was also a secret and private ability.

That's why Chai Rong did it in a stern manner. In fact, he was a military general who respected his own. Otherwise, once the emperor's majesty was taken out, he would have to say it even if he didn't say it.

After hearing the concert and harmony between them, Guo Shao finally understood what Chai Rong and Wang Pu wanted to do.The king and his ministers really had a duet, and they cooperated very well, as if they were rehearsing.

Damn it, the emperor had no choice but to say it. Do you want to give it a toast and not eat it?

There is no way, you can say it, but you have to hint at how reluctant you are to give up.Guo Shao looked in pain, as if he wanted his heart and soul.Chai Rong sighed twice when he saw it.

Guo Shao then said: I am not easy to get it... After saying that, he turned his head slightly.

Wang Pu immediately waved his hand to greet the two eunuchs at the door: Go, go, go, go away.

At this time, Guo Shao said: As long as Your Majesty needs it, I am willing to offer it to Your Majesty.But there are some things I want to give advice...

But it doesn't matter.Chai Rong said generously.

Guo Shao said: Your Majesty’s civil and military skills are not inferior to Emperor Taizong of Tang before, so he is naturally not afraid of the nomadic cavalry in the north. He just needs a large army to fight to break the harassment of the nomadic cavalry.But in the future, after Your Majesty unifies the world, the world will be in peace with the world and the world will be in peace with the world. Later generations may be content with Chengping for a long time without knowing the military; if the field battles cannot be done, the only way to resist foreign humiliation is to rely on high walls and heavy cities.Once this method of destroying a strong city has been passed down, it will be even more difficult for people in future generations to defend the city and the walls.The righteous path is a double-edged sword. It is sharp when used, but it hurts yourself if you accidentally.

After hearing this, Chai Rong nodded and praised: Zhao Kuangyin said that you have the world in your heart, what did you say?

Wang Pu said: Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.

Yes, yes.Chai Rong smiled and said, "What you say is reasonable, this method cannot be disclosed."

Guo Shao then said: I am usually interested in Taoism. Although I only know the basics of it, I love to visit those hermits and masters the most. This method was obtained from Mount Hua.The Taoists used the fire to suppress the fire, and the ministers thought of using it to bomb the city.

Guo Shao then explained the preparation and proportion of gunpowder.

Even the method of filtering saltpeter impurities and re-frying it into solids by boiling and stir-frying.

At that time, there were many personal soldiers involved in the production of the twelve coffins; Guo Shao did not explain these processes, and if someone was asked, it would make the emperor unhappy... but he still kept one move.

He ignored it and did not say that it was a method of testing the power of gunpowder by grouping method; this seems simple, but is actually useful. Both charcoal and sulfur have impurities. The proportions should change in different places of origin, although the proportions of the active ingredients are different, which will only affect part of the explosion power.

During the group trial, there were no need for too many people, only Zuo You and a few others were present.

There is also a way that Guo Shao deliberately did not say.

When he asked someone to bury gunpowder, he asked his personal soldiers to go into the tunnel to ram the earth on all sides, and then seal the tunnel with soil to seal it... Unless a person with a comprehension ability, who can understand the reason?

Gunpowder is ignited and exploded. If it is not compacted, it is difficult to seal it. The power of the explosion is hard to say.

Just knowing the formula of gunpowder, it is not easy to succeed in a short while. It is normal for people who have never done it to actually do it.

Anyway, it’s not about Guo Shao’s business at that time. Others have not done it well in some unexplained areas. We can’t blame the problem with gunpowder itself.

Guo Shao left one hand and considered the pros and cons.

He originally thought that giving all his money to the court to control would be conducive to the process of unification, but he remembered Zhao Kuangyin... Who knows what will happen in the future?

Zhao Kuangyin is already an important military general, and he may get these things in the future. Without Zhao Kuangyin, there are other military generals who may oppose the target within. Things are impermanent, so why not leave a hand to see the situation first?

Guo Shao also said: You cannot rely too much on this method when sieging the city. The city with thicker and strong walls than Shouzhou City or the underground conditions are not good, and it may not collapse.It may be effective if you use it occasionally. If you use it all the time, the generals who defend the city must be prepared. We may not be able to bury the medicine with peace of mind. Even if we spend a lot of effort to blow it up, we may not be able to attack it.

Wang Pu said: What General Guo said is extremely true.The army is dominated by a righteous victory, and clever plans are nothing more than a supplement.

Chai Rong praised: Guo Shao’s courage is commendable.

Guo Shao was happy after hearing this. The emperor's words sounded casually, but there was a loyalty in the words of commendation.The emperor has been commending military generals more often, and there are always some things to be particular about.

At this moment, a civil servant walked to the door and said: Report to Your Majesty, the envoy of the Southern Tang Kingdom has arrived.Wang Pu was writing what he had just written, and then stopped writing, turned to Chai Rong and said: The envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty must have come to seek peace. Otherwise, let him submit the letter to see what conditions are there before talking about it, there is no need to rush to summon civil and military ministers.

Chai Rong nodded calmly.Wang Pu then said: Go and bring the envoys and let him submit them to the letter of the country.

After hearing this, Guo Shao said: I would like to say goodbye.

Wang Pu said: It’s not a secret, so General Guo would be here to accompany the official family today.
