"The Hu people are eyeing us covetously. One of their horses can defeat ten of our soldiers. We cannot force our way in."
"Don't forget that their archers can use poison. If we're not careful, we'll be at a disadvantage."
"The enemy attacks and we defend. There is no solution no matter how hard we try."
The consequence of defeat is that you have to give food and money to others so that they can survive the winter. But when the spring comes and the food is gone, the gangsters will attack again.
The war was won, a peace treaty was signed, and in order to maintain friendly exchanges, food was sent as a gesture of national grace.
Both of them were giving things to others, but I didn't get any advantage.
"If it were up to me, we would just beat the Hu people until their territory became ours." Lin Wannian eavesdropped on their ceremony, and finally couldn't help but walk in and speak.
The generals called out to him, "Prince." Then they looked at Wei Yuwen standing beside them.
Wei Yuwen waved his hand: "It's okay, the prince is smart and can provide us with a plan."
"The Hu people have vast grasslands, fat sheep and horses, their goat milk is highly nutritious, and the grass is fresh and delicious. After we take over our Zhuangyi country, their sheep and horses will belong to us. Then, will we still worry about not having good horses?"
The deputy general glanced at Lin Wannian and said, "We would like to fight, but the problem is that we are at a disadvantage now. The weapons in our hands cannot withstand their horse hooves and swords."
Ultimately, it’s all because of the lack of firepower.
"What if we have this?" Lin Wannian took out a grenade.
"What's this?"
"Go out and experiment."
The group of people followed Lin Wannian out. Lin Wannian pulled the fuse and threw it into the open space.
When the thing fell to the ground, there was a loud bang.
Thick black smoke swept in.
Everyone covered their noses and said, "Why does it smell like nitrate?"
Lin took out a handkerchief and covered his nose with it, explaining: "Saltpeter is needed to make this kind of explosive."
When the fog cleared, a large pit that could accommodate five or six people appeared where the explosives had fallen.
Everyone became even more curious. They didn't expect that such a small thing could be so powerful.
Wei Chuchu looked at Lin Wannian: "How did you come up with this trick?"
"Drawing inspiration from firecrackers." Lin Wannian answered casually.
The former deputy general applauded loudly: "Great, if we had this weapon, we wouldn't have to endure that humiliation!"
One of the generals echoed, "Major General, quickly tell your men to follow the prince in making it."
Wei Yuwen held the sword at his waist and said, "No hurry."
"Why aren't you in a hurry?"
"Kill the traitor first."
Wei Yuwen looked up at the man, drew the sword in his hand, and with a bang, the head of the man who had spoken fell to the ground.
The whole audience was silent.
Wei Yuwen put away his sword: "Okay."
He looked at Lin Wannian and said respectfully, "Prince, please come this way."
Lin Wannian originally wanted to remind him, but he didn't expect that Wei Yuwen already knew it, so he sighed.
They were busy all day long, cleaning out the traitors and making shells.
After having a full meal in his later years, Lin had nothing to do, so he walked around and came to Wei Yuwen's residence.
The guard saw him and let him in immediately.
When I walked in, I found that the other party was reading a military book.
Lin Wannian found a place to sit down and said, "When you finish this battle, will you fight with Tu Shiyu for the throne?"
Wei Yuwen looked up at him: "You are a little anxious, is this related to your mission?"
"related."
Wei Yuwen closed the military book and said: "After this battle, I will rebel when I return to the imperial city."
"Okay, you guys can work together inside and outside when the time comes." Lin Wannian was satisfied.
Wei Yuwen sensed something wrong with his words and raised his eyebrows: "We? Me and Shi Yu, what about you?"
Lin Wannian shrugged: "I don't have any troops, so I can only provide you with material support in the rear."
Wei Yuwen was silent for a while: "Okay."
The two men made it sound like seizing power was a piece of cake, as if they were just playing house.
The next day, Lin Wannian followed General Qin back to the imperial city.
If you don't go back, someone will be worried.
