That night inside the Jade Gate,

Inside the huge military tent, Merton looked at the secret letter in his hand and couldn't help frowning.

Although Hou Junji is the main general, he can't cover the sky with one hand, and on the night of Merton's arrival at Yumen Pass, someone has already warned Merton.

"Hou Junji is really as later generations said, arrogant, so boastful, and he will repay him." Mo Dun shook his head in his heart and said, Mojia Village was too busy to take care of himself, he didn't want to participate in the Western Expedition, Hou Junji personally ordered him to agree, plus the postponement of the Western Expedition was something that Hou Junji had already promised to do, he had advanced from the year to the year, a full month in advance, once he was on the road, he was even faster and rushed to Yumen Pass without stopping for a moment, but he didn't expect Hou Junji to still hold a grudge against him.

"Fortunately, the firearms supervisor got the help of General Su, and the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice used the Mo family's mastery to turn the snow disaster into a benefit, so that he could come as quickly as possible, otherwise the crime of missing the period would definitely not be avoided." Xue Rengui rejoiced. Once the firearms supervisor is charged with the crime of missing his term, the Mo family, who is a colt, may be able to escape, and the entire firearms supervisor may be purged.

"It seems that the firearms supervisor should be careful!" Merton nodded, and suddenly exclaimed, "It's not good, it seems that the firearms supervisor has caused General Su this time!" ”

With Hou Junji's character, now that he has lost face in the firearms prison, he will definitely anger Su Dingfang, who helped the firearms supervisor, not to mention, Su Dingfang and Hou Junji have deeper entanglements.

Hou Junji has an extremely persistent thirst for military merits, and even in order to improve his military talents, he did not hesitate to lower his value and worship Li Jing as a teacher, but Li Jing thought that Hou Junji's mental skills were not correct, and he did not teach Hou Junji all his military arts.

And Su Dingfang is Li Jing's proud disciple, and he has won Li Jing's true biography, so Hou Junji and Su Dingfang naturally have deep contradictions, but the apparent relationship between teachers and brothers has not yet been pierced.

"Now Hou Junji wants to take Merton to establish power, but Su Dingfang has helped Merton, which will definitely become the fuse between the two senior brothers." Merton sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, three days later, the wind and dust rushed to Su Dingfang at Yumen Pass and found the door as soon as possible.

"Please help me!" Su Dingfang directly asked for help.

Merton's heart sank, and he frowned, "What happened." ”

Su Dingfang sighed and said: "General Hou got Mohou's method of breaking the snow disaster, decided to send troops to Gaochang in advance, and ordered the logistics to borrow Mohou hats and dry food for 100,000 troops. ”

"So fast?" Mo Dun was surprised, he didn't expect Hou Junji to be so anxious, but think about it, one day earlier, there will be more certainty of victory, once the army has Mo Hou hat, it is enough to resist the cold, and it can come and go freely in the snow disaster, although Hou Junji is arrogant, but his military quality is extremely high, so he naturally seized this fighter.

Su Dingfang nodded and said: "It's not difficult to just have a 100,000-strong army of Mohou hats, as long as there is enough cotton and there are enough female workers, it is easy to make it, and it just so happens that there is no shortage of these two points in the northwest, the only difficulty is the military rations of this 100,000-strong army, which is a full 2,000-mile Gobi Desert, and there is no firewood to make a fire, and the soldiers can only use dry food to satisfy their hunger, which is a big project." ”

Merton frowned and said, "But there is a shortage of food in the army?" ”

"No, thanks to Mohou's guidance and the speed of the brick road, Su has already transported enough grain and grass for 100,000 troops to eat for several months to Yumen Pass, but for storage and transportation, most of the grains transported by logistics are wheat grains and other grains, which cannot be eaten directly, and need to be ground into flour to make dry food, which is what makes Su the most distressed."

Merton immediately expressed deep sympathy, the dry food of the 100,000 army for several months is not a small amount, plus Hou Junji's sudden request in advance, which immediately put Su Dingfang in a dilemma, although there is a reason, if he can't complete it, he will definitely be questioned by Hou Junji.

"This matter has nothing to do with Mohou, Su didn't want to involve Mohou, but Su really has no other way, and Mohou is resourceful, so he can only ask Mohou to come up with an idea." Su Dingfang said apologetically.

Merton waved his hand and said: "What do you mean by Brother Su's words, this expedition to the west, if it weren't for Brother Su's help all the way, Mo would definitely not be able to escape the crime of missing the deadline, and today Brother Su is in trouble, Mo will definitely help." ”

Su Dingfang ordered the post station and the logistics troops to help Merton rush with all their strength along the way, this kindness Merton naturally kept in mind, and at that moment Merton took out a token and said: "Brother Su, rest assured, with this token, all the canned meat of the Mo family in the entire Longyou land will be dispatched by Brother Su." ”

Canned meat is a ready-to-eat thing, as long as it is opened, it can be eaten, and there are not a lot of canned meat sold by the Mo family in Longyou, which is enough to cover a lot of dry food.

"Thank you!" Su Dingfang accepted the token, but did not leave, compared to the 100,000 army for several months, the canned meat in the entire Longyou land is just a drop in the bucket, and even if the Mo family sells enough canned meat, he can't afford it, is it possible to let the army eat canned meat every day, the real root cause of the problem is still to grind a large amount of wheat into flour and make dry food in a short period of time is the right way, and this is only possible for the Mo family.

"It will be ground into flour in a short time." Merton couldn't help frowning and said, "Then mobilize manpower and material resources to hurry up, there are so many horses in Yumen Pass, it's not enough for you." ”

Su Dingfang smiled bitterly: "Manpower and horsepower are enough, but I'm afraid it's too late to build a grinding disc now." ”

Merton said thoughtfully: "So, what you need is to grind the dough as fast as possible under the current grinding disc." ”

"Yes, now Su can only pin his hopes on the Mo family's ink skills." Su Dingfang looked at Mo Dun with a look of hope, he hoped that Mo Jiazi could continue the magic of Mo Jia's ink skills and solve his problem.

However, to his disappointment, Merton shook his head without hesitation and said, "With the current ink skills, you can't do this at all. ”

"Ahh Su Dingfang was suddenly disappointed.

At this time, it happened that a gust of wind mixed with cold air blew into the firearms prison tent, and Merton was frozen by a spirit, and suddenly he had an idea, regardless of the severe cold, stepped out of the military tent, and in an instant, the strong northwest wind froze his whole body to the bone.

"Hahaha! Brother Su, can you know about the ink art exhibition that the Mo family has just ended! Merton was not afraid of the cold wind, and laughed loudly.

Su Dingfang nodded, he was in charge of the post station, and he was the most well-informed, so he naturally knew the news of the Ink Art Exhibition, and it was because of the Ink Art Exhibition that Mo Dun postponed his expedition.

Merton stretched out his arms, let the strong northwest wind blow his clothes, and said proudly: "It is naturally impossible to do it with the Mo family's existing ink skills, but the Mo family's future ink skills are not impossible to do this. ”

Su Dingfang's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "What Mo Hou said is the wind. ”

He suddenly thought of the concept of transforming the power of heaven and earth proposed by Merton in the ink art exhibition for human use, as well as the Mo family's huge dam plan, and the northwest land naturally did not have a rushing river, only a howling wind in the sky.

Merton laughed and said, "Yes, the power contained in this northwest wind blowing all over the desert is so huge, if we can use a little, it will be enough for Brother Su to tide over the difficulties." ”

Merton naturally thought of the turning fan blades everywhere in the northwest in the later generations, of course, this time he did not want to build a wind turbine, but a wind mill.
