The Human Emperor

"Wow!"

In the night sky, countless homing pigeons flew from the remote North Pole and Youzhou boundary towards the capital of Datang.By daybreak, Wang Chong had received news from Far North and Youzhou.

In the study, after reading the two letterheads, Wang Chong slowly put it down, and his brows wrinkled slightly.

The cold wave has already gathered in the north, and its severity is worse than Wang Chong imagined. Once the cold wave goes south, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The only good news is that it was discovered early now, at least a few months before the cold wave swept down, which gave Wang Chong time to prepare.

But it was Youzhou that really worried Wang Chong.

"Anzhaluoshan, it really is you!"

Wang Chong secretly said, at that moment his expression was extremely cold.

If it is said that the note of the future lord of the gods in the food treasure house only reminds Wang Chong of Anji Lushan, then the news from Guo Ziyi and others from Youzhou has undoubtedly confirmed Wang Chong’s heart. Guess.

Privately building an armory, colluding with Xi and Khitan, forming a party for private gains, and secretly controlling the An Dong Duhu Mansion... all of this illustrates the rebellious intentions of Anzha Lushan.

But what worries Wang Chong most is Zhang Shougui. This imperial tiger has no idea what is happening around him. He has always thought that the toad crouching under his claws is a ridiculous toad, but he does not know that this toad is a disguise. White tiger.

"Xu Keyi, what did Zhang Shougui say?"

Wang Chong turned his head and said suddenly.

"Looking back to the Lord, Lord Zhang has already replied, saying that there is no need to worry about the prince. Anzhaluoshan is just a clown he adopted to entertain him. He did not have the courage to rebel. In addition, Lord Zhang said that I would like to thank the prince for reminding me. It is a good intention, but he has already checked that there is no problem with the diet of An Dong Duhu Fu. His illness has nothing to do with Anzha Nang Shan, it is just an old illness. After a period of rest, it will be almost healed. !"

Xu Keyi bowed and said respectfully.

"Bring the letterhead, let me take a look."

Wang Chong then spoke.

Taking the letter paper from Xu Keyi, Wang Chong did not read the content of the text at all, but browsed directly on the letter paper, and finally fixed the word "" on the letter paper.

Zhang Shougui has a unique habit in Andong. His letterhead is not handed over to his staff. However, all important letterheads and letters with the ministers of the DPRK and China will be written by Zhang Shougui himself, and once the word "" is involved, Zhang Shougui's The word "" is different from others. When I close the pen at the end, I will lift it up, draw a circle, and then tilt it up again. The shape is somewhat similar to an open "8".

This is an anecdote that was circulated before the end of the Star Era in later generations. Not many people knew and followed. Wang Chong only noticed this because he came from a family of generals.

"He really wrote it!"

Wang Chong glanced around and found the "8" shape "", but it confirmed that this letter was written by Zhang Shougui himself, and Wang Chong's heart became heavier.

Zhang Shougui is too arrogant!

His self-esteem and magnificent battle history and resume make his eyes only allow Wang Zhongsi, the holy emperor and other talents to be more talented than himself, and he is caught around him as a slave, as a clown. "Catch the slave" is not in his eyes at all.

No matter how Wang Chong reminded him, Zhang Shougui was just a perfunctory remark on the surface, and he didn't really face the matter squarely.

After receiving Wang Chong's letter, he was willing to secretly investigate and test his daily diet, which was already a great respect for Wang Chong.

Changing to someone else's request, Zhang Shougui might think that it would be a great humiliation to him, and he would not care about it.

"Has everything reached this point..."

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

What Zhang Shougui showed between the lines was his great confidence in controlling the Youzhou realm, but the real situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

Although Wang Chong tried his best to stop it, everything was unavoidable and returned to the original track, and a rebellion was inevitable.

"Master, what shall we do now?"

Xu Keyi said.

Wang Chong wrote to remind Zhang Shougui that Xu Keyi knew all these things, but the current situation was obviously extremely unfavorable.

"No matter, some things cannot be avoided after all. Zhang Shougui doesn't need to pay attention to it for the time being. After a while, I have my own way to deal with it!"

Wang Chong said solemnly.

Zhang Shougui belonged to the kind of person who would never believe if he didn't see the Anzha Nuoshan rebellion with his own eyes. Wang Chong could only choose that time to start. Before that, he could only protect his life as much as possible.

"Give me an order to send out Fenglin Mountain and all our spies in the northeast. I want to get all the information about Fuluohe as soon as possible!-It's better to take something from them and bring them back!"

Wang Chong said solemnly.

Guo Ziyi's operation in the Northeast this time was both successful and failed. The success was because they did spy back the intelligence, and the failure was because Anzha Lushan was obviously prepared early, and he was directly aware of their tracks during the operation. And launched a hunt.

Among the messages Guo Ziyi and the others sent back, Wang Chong paid close attention to a top army group called Yiluohe under Anji Nunshan.

Guo Ziyi and the others are very unfamiliar with this newly-born army, but it is no secret to Wang Chong. The rebellion that swept across China and destroyed the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, and this dragged down the river under the command of Lushan Mountain. The army, it is the most dazzling existence among them, and it is also the biggest reason why they can suppress and destroy the other major capitals.

When the great rebellion happened that year, the Wang family was already in trouble and fragmented. Everyone was wandering outside, starving. Many things were not at the core of the storm, so it was not clear what they knew.

But Wang Chong still knows a few things about this "Dragging River".

Luluohe is a Hu language, meaning "the strongest warrior". This is the strongest army selected by Anzhaluo Mountain from the entire Youzhou and surrounding races.

This army is unusually mysterious. Since the day it was built, it has been training secretly, and even the people in Youzhou are inaccessible. Their first official appearance was after the rebellion against the empire in Anzhan Mountain.

There are several characteristics of Luluhe's army:

First, their strength far exceeds that of the surrounding major guards. Although the total number is only 8,000, their combat effectiveness is superb;

Second, these people can sleep endlessly and eat no food. The journey from Youzhou to Jingshi is far away, but they can complete the rapid march in three days. This is something that no guards can do in this era.

Even if Wang Chong's Wushen cavalry, this kind of marching day and night, physical strength and energy, including energy, would be greatly consumed, and finally had to stop and rest.

This inhuman ability shook the entire Kyushu at that time.

Third, the warriors who dragged down the river are extremely powerful, even if they have thousands of arrows piercing their hearts and a few knives in their bodies, they can still roar and fight, lively and vigorously, which makes their opponents extremely shocked.This has gone beyond the scope of bravery, like a monster.

These rumors were true and false back then, and there were many rumors that everyone didn’t believe, because it was not something normal humans could do. Wang Chong just heard that those things were falsely spread by everyone, in order to exaggerate Luluhe. The bravery.

However, the information returned by Guo Ziyi caused Wang Chong to completely change his opinion. Using Meteor Hammer in these Lulu Rivers, a cavalry captain who was close to the basaltic realm at the pinnacle of True Martial Art could easily be shot into flight with a horse and was pierced by a spear. Vital, but unscathed, as if the injured was not yourself, continue to fight, including the lack of vitality on them, and the scary red eyes in the night...

These real contacts all confirmed the "absurd" description of this trailing river in eschatological rumors.

In the main hall, Xu Keyi bowed as he should, and quickly stepped back to convey the order.

"Su Shixuan!"

Soon after Xu Keyi left, Wang Chong called Su Shixuan who was in charge of the food and Khorasan.

"How is Baghdad?"

"Master Hui, everything is in order. We have mobilized all the human and material resources, including the Khorasan people and people from the countries around Dashi to help extract kerosene. In addition, we have mobilized artisans from all countries to work day and night. Work shifts to build tanks for storing kerosene."

Su Shixuan knew what Wang Chong was asking, lowered his head and said respectfully.

"It's not enough, it's too slow. You heard it just now. We are running out of time. A cold wave may come at any time. We must transport enough large cassava oil to Middle-earth as soon as possible!"

Wang Chong shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"It is passed to the major families in China, each with 80 staff members, rushed to Baghdad overnight to participate in kerosene mining!"

"Leave Zhang Shouzhi and the forging team to speed up and develop equipment to assist in the excavation of kerosene as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Su Shixuan said without hesitation.

"In addition, how is the survey of the three places I mentioned?"

Wang Chong said.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Su Shixuan's face suddenly showed a subtle look, a little weird, and more respect and admiration:

"According to the instructions given by the prince, our men and horses have gone to Heng'an Town, Yangquan, and Shuozhou. There has been news from there in the past few days that a large amount of coal has really been found underground, but because the location is relatively remote, mining and transportation are a bit difficult. difficult!"

Hearing Su Shixuan's words, Wang Chong let out a sigh of relief, his expression lightened a lot.

Heng'an Town, Hedong Road is definitely a small place in this era that is unknown and not many people know. I am afraid that the entire county has less than 10,000 people. However, in later generations, it will have a big name-the town of coal, Datong, Shanxi!

The coal reserves there are definitely unimaginable for many people.

If you want to satisfy Datang’s tens of millions of people, it’s far from enough to rely on the kerosene delivered from Baghdad. Moreover, the road is far away and the transportation efficiency is too low. The most important thing is to start with Datang itself. Coal It is the most feasible solution.
