"Zhentian Lei is still a semi-finished product. The ratio needs to be adjusted, and it needs to be matched with the corresponding trebuchet to exert its maximum power." Hua Qingxue held Li Jingnan's small shoulders and told her word by word, "What we have to do now is , is to continue to improve it, and then give them a fatal blow at the best time so that they will never dare to come back!"

Li Jingnan looked at Hua Qingxue steadily, his eyes red.

Everyone in the camp was afraid to express their anger, until Li Jingnan nodded slowly - everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

They were really worried that Li Jingnan would suddenly make trouble. No matter how young he was, he was still the emperor. If he forced Fu Tingye to send troops to conquer, Fu Tingye would definitely disobey and no one would be better off in the end.

Fu Tingye came over and patted Hua Qingxue's shoulder gently, "Take the emperor to rest in the back."

Hua Qingxue nodded and led Li Jingnan, who was looking gloomy, out of the tent.

Xiaodouzi lowered his head and followed silently.

There was silence in the camp.

Eerie quiet…

Qin Laowu laughed dryly and said, "Miss Hua and the Emperor have a very good relationship..."

A group of soldiers looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"Yeah, we have a good relationship, hehehe..."

How else to say it

Do you call the little emperor cowardly, or do you call the Chinese girl brave? —No matter what you say, it offends people!

Fu Tingye had a sullen face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan went to another tent for rest.

Li Jingnan looked gloomy and sat on the chair silently.

Xiaodouzi touched the kettle on the table, poured out a glass of water, washed the cup first, poured another glass of water, and brought it to Li Jingnan respectfully.

Li Jingnan remained calm and didn't move.

His eyes fell on the ground without focus, and his whole figure seemed to have lost all strength and spirit.

Xiaodouzi had no choice but to put the water glass on the table and stand aside silently.

Under such circumstances, he did not dare to persuade him, for fear of making the emperor even more angry.

Hua Qingxue looked at Li Jingnan's unhappy look and felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't watch Li Jingnan act willfully in front of a group of Qi generals. He was not recognized by his ministers because of his young age. If he made an irrational decision again , will only be looked down upon even more.

There was a map of Daqi hanging in the tent. She stood on tiptoes, took it off, spread it on the table and looked at it carefully.

After a while, a little man squeezed next to him.

Hua Qingxue turned her head and looked, it was Li Jingnan.

He seemed to have recovered a bit. Although he was still lackluster, the haze in his eyes was much less.

"What are you looking at?" Li Jingnan asked.

Hua Qingxue glanced at him and said softly: "I know that the late emperor once ceded six state capitals to Daliao. Which six state capitals I am looking for."

Li Jingnan pointed out to her, "...here...the six prefectures of Qin, Wei, Yuan, Xi, He, and Mo."

Although it was not his own country, Hua Qingxue felt heartbroken when she saw a large area of land being included in the borders of Daliao.

Li Jingnan drew another large area, "Before these six state capitals were occupied, twelve state capitals were ceded due to defeat in the war and suing for peace."

Hua Qingxue felt another pain in her body.

"Do you have a map of Daliao?" Hua Qingxue asked.

Li Jingnan was stunned, and Xiaodouzi also looked confused.

This is a military camp, and the territorial boundaries of surrounding countries are information that must be mastered. Hua Qingxue thought for a while, walked outside the camp and explained a few words to the guards. Not long after, someone sent documents to Daliao and several surrounding small countries. map.

Hua Qingxue wanted to put these maps together for comparison, but because the maps were too big to be placed on the table, she simply placed them on the ground.

Comparing it like this, it is clear at a glance - Daliao's territory is huge, and it is like an overlord among the surrounding small countries, extending its power to all directions.

The territory of Da Qi was second only to that of Liao.

Hua Qingxue stretched out her hand and made a few gestures. If the eighteen state capitals had not been ceded previously, the territory of the two countries would actually be almost the same.

Li Jingnan guessed what Hua Qingxue was thinking, and said quietly: "These eighteen state capitals were lost from my father, so everyone thinks that my father is a fool."

"What do you think?" Hua Qingxue asked him.

Li Jingnan pursed his lips, shook his head, and did not answer.

"It's always difficult to have the best of both worlds in this world. It's really bloodless to cede territory and pay compensation, but I have to admit that the late emperor did ensure a stable life for some people." Hua Qingxue tried her best to explain to him, "The country is weak, and the late emperor doesn't want to Seeing innocent people being affected by the war, you must have done this helplessly."

Li Jingnan said in a low voice: "If it were me...even if I lose, I will fight to the death!"

"Your Majesty." Hua Qingxue sighed softly, "You must learn to be an emperor, not a warrior. You should find ways to make the country strong and dormant to accumulate strength, instead of showing off your bravery when the country is weak. .”

Li Jingnan's eyes showed unwillingness at first, and then showed confusion.

Hua Qingxue looked at him, her expression couldn't help but soften, and she said softly: "For example, now, we should try to find a way to defeat the enemy, instead of rushing over hastily and exposing our weaknesses to the enemy... That Zhentian Thunder, at most scare them once or twice, once close combat contact occurs, this new weapon will lose its effect."

"You have a way, right?" Li Jingnan looked at her hopefully.

Hua Qingxue looked at the map, was silent for a while, and said: "The Liao people's cavalry is frightening. If we want to resist the invasion of the Liao soldiers, we must first resist their cavalry. The power of Zhentian Lei is now limited. We need to More gunpowder weapons… and an army with significant firepower.”

It's just... she doesn't know if she's doing the right thing...

This is a huge system and a huge project that cannot be completed overnight.

But if it can be completed, Daqi will definitely become the new overlord of this land.

… Do you really want to do this

Hua Qingxue stared at the map in front of her.

This kind of thing is definitely not about making handmade soap inventions. Once those things appear in this world, she cannot predict what consequences they will have...

Will this end the war, or will it make it worse

Fu Tingye walked in from the outside and was a little stunned when he saw Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan talking calmly next to the map.

In fact, he didn't quite understand why the arrogant little emperor would always be extremely docile in front of Hua Qingxue.

Fu Tingye's eyes fell on Li Jingnan. Thinking of his gaffe in the camp just now, he said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. The minister has asked the soldiers to practice the long sword formation every day. Although the Liao soldiers' cavalry are powerful, they are also Not without weaknesses.”

Both of them turned to look at him.

Li Jingnan's emotions had calmed down at this time, and he asked him with a pair of clear black eyes: "What is the long sword formation?"

Hua Qingxue knew a little about the long sword formation.

In ancient times, infantry armed with spears were the most powerful against light cavalry, because the infantry's spears could stab the cavalry horses in the belly and knock them down before the cavalry could hurt them.

When facing heavy cavalry, spears would not work, because the heavy cavalry horses had armor on their abdomens. At this time, the long knife formation was derived - using a long knife or a big ax to cut off the cavalry horse's legs.

But when the two armies meet, whether the cavalry stabs the infantry first or the infantry cuts off the cavalry's legs first depends on the skill or luck of both sides.

The infantry trained by Fu Tingye obviously had some skills, otherwise the army led by Fu Tingye would not have been regarded as a thorn in the side of the Liao soldiers and frequently came to provoke them.

However, even this method is only applicable when the number of both sides is about the same. If it is like this time, with 60,000 Liao soldiers and 40,000 Qi soldiers, the disparity in strength is too great, and no matter how powerful the long sword formation is, it will be defeated. .

"Liao people are naturally good at riding and shooting, and they have strong soldiers and horses. We can only figure it out slowly, not in a hurry." Fu Tingye said.

When Li Jingnan saw Fu Tingye saying the same thing, he couldn't help but be curious, "General, does he think so too?"

also

Fu Tingye looked at Hua Qingxue subconsciously. Did she also say this to the little emperor

Li Jingnan said: "My father has repeatedly praised General Fu for his bravery and fearlessness, and also said that General Fu has never been defeated."

A rare smile appeared on Fu Tingye's solemn face, "Your Majesty, does he know why I have never been defeated?"

Li Jingnan looked confused, and even Hua Qingxue looked at him in shock.

Fu Tingye continued: "Because I will not fight a battle that I know I will lose."

Li Jingnan's eyes widened immediately, "General Fu will also withdraw his troops?"

"If you know you will lose, of course you have to retreat. After conserving your strength, you can then look for opportunities to create a situation in which you can win." Fu Tingye said with a smile in his eyes, "Does the emperor think that those of us who are fighting will only move forward? Are you going to rush in so stupidly?"

Li Jingnan was still in a daze, and Hua Qingxue burst into laughter first.

Li Jingnan murmured in a daze: "When my father ceded the six states, everyone said that if General Fu had been transferred to the north earlier, he would not have been defeated in succession..."

"No, even if I go, I will still be defeated." Fu Tingye shook his head, "A weak army will not become stronger just because a new general comes. Even the army I brought from the south will not become stronger." The Liao soldiers' cavalry suffered somersaults."

Fu Tingye looked at the little Li Jingnan and roughly knew what Li Jingnan was thinking. He said in a rare gentle tone: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be upset about this. The Emperor of Daliao is indeed a rare tycoon among the emperors of these generations. He intends to dominate." In the world, not only our Da Qi ceded territory to eighteen states, but also the Nanzhao Kingdom was not spared. Linyi, Wu Ge and other countries also suffered heavy losses, and the Luohuo Kingdom was destroyed and became a state capital of the Liao Dynasty."

He stood next to Li Jingnan, looking down at the map pieced together on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The last victory caused Daliao to lose face, so they can't wait to win it back to ensure that their dominance will not be shaken. But they will eventually fail..."

Li Jingnan raised his head and looked at Fu Tingye.

Fu Tingye's eyes fell on Hua Qingxue at this moment.

Li Jingnan's eyes lit up, and he also looked at Hua Qingxue, "Yes! They will fail! When Zhentian Lei is truly completed, we no longer have to be afraid of them! Right, Hua Qingxue?"

Hua Qingxue looked at the two men, an older one and a younger one, with a smile on her face unconsciously, and then slowly nodded...
