Chapter 501: Joy and Sorrow

"Really?" Li Hao almost jumped up with excitement when he heard this, and asked excitedly, "What about the cannon?" Where is the cannon now? ”

Lu Yun said: "Hidden in the mountains and forests fifteen miles south of the city, guarded by four thousand troops, there should be no problem." ”

"Quick! Take me to see it! Li Hao was so excited, so excited that he wanted to see the cannon now.

At this moment, Di Renjie's high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the yamen: "Lord, Di Renjie has something important to see!" ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and replied loudly: "Come in." ”

Di Renjie strode into the yatang, Lu Yun and they had already retreated to the side, Di Renjie glanced at Lu Yun and them after entering the door, his eyes suddenly lit up, he had great insight, and he could see at a glance that the four strangers in front of him were very unusual.

"Huaiying, what's the matter?" Li Hao asked out loud.

Di Renjie saluted and said, "Lord Wang, King Wei is dead!" ”

"Oh?" Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Where is the body?" ”

Di Renjie shouted outside the mansion: "Bring in!" ”

I saw two Dali Temple officials carrying an oversized stretcher in, and there was a corpse lying on it, the corpse was covered with a white cloth, although it was covered with a white cloth, but the thickness of the corpse was like two people stacked together, except for Li Tai, there was really no one who could reach this thickness, Li Hao stepped forward to uncover the white cloth, and sure enough, he found that it was Li Tai's body, and it seemed that he had been dead for a while.

After Li Hao checked it, he covered it with a white cloth and said, "Huaiying, send the body to the Wei Palace, and send someone to closely monitor every move of everyone in the Wei Palace, and you can't let anyone go until the emperor's order arrives." ”

"Yes!" Di Renjie gave up his hand, and then said, "Lord Wang, there is still something to report for the lowly position, the Fanyang Lu clan disappeared, according to the inferration of the lowly position, they fled to the north and left yesterday." ”

"Oh, the North?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and sneered when he heard this, "They can only go to the north, they failed in their rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty has no place for them to stand, so they can only go to the Hu clan outside the Guanwai." ”

Di Renjie frowned when he heard this: "Lord Wang, they are rebels and thieves, do you want to send someone to chase them back?" ”

Li Hao said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, this king will send someone to deal with it, you go and get busy first." ”

"Yes." Di Renjie answered with his hand and ordered someone to carry Li Tai's body out.

Sent Di Renjie away, Li Hao said: "Ertu, you go and inform Lin Dingkun, if you meet Fan Yang Lu on the road, you will be killed, but be careful, the Lu family has cultivated thousands of dead soldiers, don't be careless." ”

"Yes!" Lin Dingkun was also ordered to retreat.

Then Li Hao wrote another letter about the death of King Wei, and sent someone to send it out after writing it.

Next, Li Hao rubbed his hands, regained his excitement, and said, "Okay, let's go and see the cannon now." ”

"Yes!" Lu Yun answered the sound and took the lead in turning his head and walking out the door, followed by everyone.

Li Hao went out of Youzhou under the leadership of Lu Yun and them, went straight south, traveled about fifteen miles, and entered a low and dense mountain forest.

It is said that it is a mountain, a bit lifting, but in fact, it is a large undulating hill, the highest is only 100 meters, but the woods are dense, but it is very suitable for hiding.

Lu Yun and they took Li Hao to walk in the woods for a long time, and along the way, Li Hao found a lot of dark posts, and when they saw that they were Feiying and Lu Yun, they hurriedly came out to meet them, they had never seen Li Hao, and they didn't know that Li Hao was their master.

Finally, they came to a mountain col, many soldiers were training, even if the main general was not there, they were not lazy, maybe for the convenience of migration, they did not even set up a tent, seeing the arrival of the flying eagle, all the soldiers shouted and lined up, only a moment of work, then they stood neatly into several phalanxes, each phalanx of a thousand people.

Feiying introduced to Li Hao as he walked: "Lord Wang, according to your instructions, we will follow your instructions, a team of ten people, a captain, a battalion of 100 people, a hundred household chiefs, also known as battalion commanders, a thousand people and a regiment, a thousand household chiefs, also known as regiment commanders, 10,000 people and a division, 10,000 household chiefs, also known as division commanders, 100,000 people and an army, called army commanders, now we have a total strength of about 50,000 troops, named the Dangkou Army, and the 4,000 people in front of us are the leopard division in the Dangkou Army, mainly cavalry......"

Li Hao nodded while looking at it, to be honest, seeing such a military appearance, he was very satisfied, this is his own private army, his greatest strength, and their importance is not lower than that of artillery.

Li Hao walked to the front of the queue with a horsewhip in his hand, pointed to one of the young fighters in his twenties, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The young warrior ignored him, not even moving his eyes.

The Eagle turned to the soldier and said, "You can speak!" ”

Then the soldier replied in a loud voice: "My name is Zhang Daring!" ”

"Good name." Li Hao grinned and said, "What position do you hold in the army?" ”

"Captain of the Eighteenth Squad!"

"Okay, Captain Zhang." Li Hao nodded, and suddenly asked, "Who is your supreme leader?" ”

The soldier replied in a loud voice: "I don't know! ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that Feiying has strictly trained all the soldiers, and he can't easily tell the identity of his boss, this is a secret in the army, not to mention the supreme chief, their supreme leader is King Qiongnan, who of these soldiers doesn't know, but they can't say it.

Li Hao had the heart to give it a try, and suddenly shook the horsewhip, and a whip was slammed on Zhang Daring's body, which actually tore his military uniform, the skin was open, and the blood was dripping, Li Hao glared and asked: "Tell me quickly, who is your supreme leader!" ”

"I don't know!" Zhang Daring still replied loudly.

Li Hao waved his whip and snapped, Zhang Daring's body was trembling, but he didn't move, and the people around him didn't move, as if they didn't see it, Feiying was watching here, Feiying didn't speak, did they dare to move.

Li Hao was whipped seven or eight times in a row, Zhang Dada's military uniform was torn to pieces, he was covered in blood, the corners of his mouth had begun to bleed, his legs were pumped several times, and he was already a little unstable, but he still tried to keep himself standing straight and still maintained a standard military posture.

"Now you know!" Li Hao's face was full of hideousness, and his eyes seemed to be about to eat people.

"I don't know!" Zhang Daring still said this.

With a "bang", Li Hao pulled out a knife and put it on Zhang Daring's neck, and said coldly, "Ask you one last time, who is your supreme leader, if you don't say anything, I will kill you immediately!" ”

"I don't know!" Zhang Daring glared back at Li Hao with his eyes, not afraid of Li Hao's terrifying momentum at all, and then, he even spit out a mouthful of blood towards Li Hao, spraying Li Hao's blood.

Li Hao was stunned by him for a while, and then he put away his knife and laughed, and Feiying also laughed, and Zhang Daring looked dazed.

Li Hao smiled and said: "Flying Eagle, this bold is very good, sure enough, the person is as his name suggests, he is very bold, and he is a captain." ”

Feiying nodded and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Daring, from today onwards, you will be the head of the hundred households of the sixth battalion!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Daring shouted excitedly in response, what a problem, he was promoted to the head of a hundred households after being whipped, it would be nice if he received a few more whips.

Then, Feiying said in a loud voice: "Brothers, haven't you been looking forward to seeing King Qiongnan, this is Li Shimad, the king of Qiongnan of the Tang Dynasty who can govern the country and set the prosperous era and expand the country and expand the country!" ”

"Wow!" Everyone suddenly raised their hands and saluted, because the movements were so neat, a simple movement could form a loud sound, and then, everyone shouted in unison: "Good chief!" ”

Li Hao smiled and waved his hand: "Be quiet, don't expose your whereabouts, all the soldiers are good, this king believes that you are all good soldiers like Zhang Daring, and you would rather die than give in, but today Zhang Daring was unlucky, and was whipped and injured by this king, and this king gave him the position of head of a hundred households in order to compensate him, but if he is not qualified, he will have to come back to be the captain." ”

"Understood!" Everyone replied loudly, but they thought in their hearts, is this called bad luck, this is especially called an explosion of luck, they still want to be whipped, but they haven't been whipped, depressed.

Li Hao stepped forward and patted Zhang Bold on the shoulder, and said, "This king also wants to test you and make you suffer." ”

"The subordinates are not bitter!" Zhang Daring replied loudly, obviously very excited, he was promoted, can he not be excited.

"Okay, go back and find a military doctor to heal your injuries, rest well, and disperse." Li Hao said casually.

However, no one moved, and Feiying hurriedly said, "Don't you even listen to the chief's orders?" ”

"Chief Xie!" Everyone was disbanded, and even if they were disbanded, they were in good order, which shows that the Flying Eagle trained these fighters very well.

Li Hao looked at the group of disbanded soldiers with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Flying Eagle, well done!" ”

Feiying smiled modestly: "It's not my credit alone. ”

"Alright, don't be modest." Li Hao smiled and said, "Where is the cannon?" ”

"The prince comes with me." Feiying said and walked forward with Li Hao, Chen Song and Lu Yun followed closely behind.

Soon, they came to a camp tent, only to see a dark cannon in the camp tent, Li Hao saw the cannon, and immediately stepped forward excitedly, stretched out his hand to ** the cannon body, as if he had found a lost child.

"Lord Wang, there are three more shells." Lu Yun reminded him, and pointed to the wooden box on the side by the way.

Li Hao bent down to uncover the wooden box, only to see that the wooden box was separated into a nine-square grid with a baffle, each grid was thirteen or fourteen centimeters in diameter, just about the same size as the diameter of the cannonball, and there was cotton padded inside, which was used to absorb shock, nine grids, but only three grids had cannonballs in them, and Li Hao frowned after seeing the cannonballs.

"Lord Wang, is there something wrong?" Seeing Li Hao frowning, Feiying couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Hao said: "Of course it's not right, I remember that Li Guocheng reported to me after losing the cannon, and he lost two shells at the same time, but there are three here." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, there was an extra shell, this is not a trivial matter, everyone opened their brains, and suddenly thought of a terrible thing, Li Hao hurriedly took out the three shells one by one, looked at the bottom of the shell, frowned tighter, and then said: "Sure enough, these three shells are not made by us." ”

When Lu Yun heard this, he also took the cannonball to check the bottom, and was shocked, the bottom of these three cannonballs was about the same as the bottom of their cannonballs, but there was one thing missing, that is, the steel seal number.

Li Hao implements the assembly line production shell mode, and the bottom of each shell and the bottom of the ignition cup have a steel stamp number, but these shells do not, what does this mean, it shows that the enemy can already perfectly copy their shells, such a complex technology, the enemy can actually copy it, which shocked Lu Yun.

Just when Lu Yun was stunned, Li Hao suddenly thought of a more terrible thing, suddenly came to the side of the cannon, checked the edge of the cannon barrel, the edge of his cannon barrel was marked with a steel seal number, he remembered that he lost the cannon number was A013, however, when he finished checking the edge of the cannon barrel, he exclaimed: "This is not our cannon!" ”
