"Great Khan," Shaharu suddenly stepped forward and asked, "but you want to use Sarha's strategy?" ”

"Yes and no." Timur said with a smile: "Even if these fierce dogs are allowed to fight hard against the sentinels of the Ming army, it will only make the Ming army strengthen its defense, and it will not be easy to sneak attack them, especially the cavalry camp of the Ming army." ”

"But it's still an opportunity, especially after the emperor of the Ming Kingdom came here. I thought that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom came here to bring all the things that were not good for our army, but then I looked at the history of the Khitan people and found that there were also things that were good for our army. ”

Timur's words were not clear, and Shaharu was about to ask again, but Timur no longer spoke to him, but raised his head and commanded all the generals: "You must intensify the training of your army in the next few days, and wait for my orders." ”

……

……

"Your Majesty, based on the observations of this period of time, and the records of His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the former Mengyuan Imperial Court, I believe that it will rain heavily for three or five consecutive days in the next few days." Si Chengtang stood in front of Yun Xi and bowed down and said.

"It's raining this season?" Yun Xi asked puzzled. He didn't doubt Si Chengtang's words, but in his impression, this place in the Western Regions shouldn't rain in summer.

"Your Majesty, the minister looked at the records of the Mengyuan Imperial Court for more than 30 years from the Zhishun period to the Zheng period, and there are records of rain at this time." Si Chengtang thought that Yun Xi doubted his words, and hurriedly said.

"Aiqing misunderstood me, I didn't doubt your words. It's just that I think the land of the Western Regions is so hot, it shouldn't rain in the summer. Yun Xi explained, and then asked, "How many days will it rain?" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is difficult to judge by celestial phenomena. However, according to the practice of previous years, it has to be three or five days in a row. Some days the rain is heavier, others it is lighter. Si Chengtang replied.

"I know. Go down. Yun Xi pondered for a while and said. Sichengtang bowed and retreated.

"Qingshu, you go and tell Xu Huizu and the others to prepare for rain and thunder. By the way, Fang Zheng, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and Fang Sheng, the presiding officer of Yiwu Thousand Buddha Temple, were called. Yun Xi raised his head and said to the guard Song Qingshu.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Qingshu bowed down and agreed, turned around and retreated.

After a short time, Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng walked into the tent and bowed: "The poor monk Fang Zheng (Fang Sheng) has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." ”

"Two masters." Yun Xi smiled and said, "How are the two masters in the military camp these days?" After Yun Xi came to the barracks, he let Fang Zheng and other monks live in the camp on the pretext that the fallen soldiers held a puja. Xu Huizu was reluctant, but the ordinary soldiers were very willing to be buried by the monks immediately after their death, so they did not object.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and no one neglects the poor monks and disciples. It's just that many of the items for the puja are almost used up, so the poor monk is about to send someone back to Yiwu City to get them. Fang Zheng said.

"It just so happens that I have something to tell you, so I'll do it all together. Master Fangzheng, you personally return to Yiwu City, find a craftsman to build an iron cage, and then make a wooden pole, which will be longer. The top of the pole is equipped with an iron tip, and then a thin iron chain is used to lead down the pole and connect it with the iron cage. Yun Xi said.

"Your Majesty, how does this iron cage look?" Of course, Fang Zheng was very curious about what he wanted to do to build such an iron cage, but he always agreed to the things ordered by the emperor first, and then asked why.

"This way." Yoon-hee took out a piece of paper with an iron cage drawn on it and showed it to him.

"Your Majesty, such an iron cage consumes a lot of iron, and there may not be so much iron in the Thousand Buddha Temple." Fang Sheng said after reading it.

"Do your best to search the city of Iwu. It's really not good, you ask Shang Bing to ask him to allocate some to you. ”

Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, the poor monk takes the liberty of asking, why did you build such an iron cage?" ”

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Naturally, it is useful. Because this use is so unusual, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, and I cannot instruct my guards or subordinates to do so, so you can only do it yourself. And you must not tell anyone that I have instructed you to make such an iron cage. Even your most trusted disciples can't tell. ”

Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng bowed down to receive the order. They asked a few more detailed questions and were about to step down.

But at this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, can this iron cage have something to do with that incident?" ”

Yun Xi instantly understood what he was talking about, and nodded: "It is indeed related to that incident." ”

Fangzheng's body trembled: That's going to die. But he had no choice, so although his face was very unsightly at this time, he still bowed his head and saluted, and retired with his junior brother Fang Sheng with a curious face.

When he got out of the tent, Fang Sheng immediately asked, "Senior brother, what is it to prepare such an iron cage?" ”

Fang Zheng whispered a few words in his ear, and Fang Sheng immediately looked shocked: "How can there be such a thing?" After a pause, he said, "Why didn't Senior Brother tell me before?" Let the junior brother have a good preparation. ”

"It's so surprising that if I had said it before, how many people would have believed it? And since the emperor mentioned it to me that time, whether on the road or in Ganzhou, I didn't talk about it again, I thought that the emperor just ordered it on a whim, and it was not good to tell you in advance. Fang Zheng said.

In fact, Fang Zheng thought that Yun Xi had a problem with his head at that time, because he didn't talk to him after that and put it down. Unexpectedly, Yun Xi didn't have a problem with his head for a while, but really had such an idea. But of course, these words can't be said, and he can only find other excuses.

"But how can a man not die when he is struck by lightning? The emperor seems to be going to the death of his senior brother. But no matter what, the emperor didn't deal with his senior brother like this. Fang Sheng said.

He thought the same as Fang Zheng at this time: if the emperor was dissatisfied with the other party and wanted to kill him, he could find ten thousand reasons, and there was no need to use such a bizarre method.

"Could it be that you are really the reincarnation of the Buddha, senior brother?" Fang Sheng asked.

"How do I know this? When the Buddha was reincarnated, he did not have any mana, so he could not distinguish it at all. Fang Zheng said.

"Then if the senior brother is really the reincarnation of the Buddha, how did the emperor identify it?" Fang Sheng began to think about this question.

He was still thinking about it, and Fang Zheng said in a low voice: "This place is a military camp, if you have any questions, I will talk about it when I go back." Then he pulled Fang Sheng out of the Chinese army camp.
