    "Why do you do this?" Ping Xiangzhou took the initiative to help build roads in Lang Son Prefecture. Although the two families were allies, Zhou Shixiong's approach was so bizarre that Ruan Phu Ajiang couldn't understand it.

    "The road construction is both true and false. To capture the entire Bac Giu Province, we must not only defeat the soldiers and horses of Bac Giu Province, but also repel the reinforcements from Tuyen Quang Province and prevent the oriole of Cao Binh Province. Only 10,000 new soldiers from Lang Son Prefecture are enough.  If this is not possible, I will arrange for 15,000 people to come to Lang Son Province to build roads. In addition to building roads, these people will also pretend to be government soldiers when they send troops to attack Bei Giang Province, confuse spies from various places, and cover Lang Son soldiers and soldiers.  I am going out with the soldiers of the Xiangzhou Guard." Zhou Shixiong explained the use of these people as concisely as possible, so that Ruan Fu Ajiang understood that he was doing it to help Ruan Fu.  [com]

    "I have never thought about such long-term things. It seems that marching and fighting are still your men's world." Ruan Fu A Jiang was very emotional. Zhou Shixiong persuaded himself and his eldest brother to form a new army, and then came up with the idea of ????hiding the truth. He and his eldest brother were in  In terms of military affairs, the difference is huge and terrible.

    "Beijia Prefecture has few soldiers, so it is not difficult to capture it. However, what we need is a quick victory. We cannot let Beizhi Prefecture linger and wait for reinforcements. Without some strategies to confuse the enemy, it will be difficult to achieve this goal." Zhou Shixiong  I know that Nguyen Phu A Giang is a knowledgeable person, but unfortunately he doesn¡¯t know much about military affairs and can only be regarded as an internal affairs talent.

    "Ziqi, there is news that you may not know. In the past few months, Beijiang Prefecture and Tuyen Quang Prefecture have complained to Zheng Du, saying that Lang Son Prefecture has invaded and occupied the town of Bei Chiu Prefecture without any reason. They hope that Zheng Du will order Lang Son Prefecture to withdraw from Bei Giang Prefecture.  A few days ago, Zheng Du's youngest son Zheng Zai was ordered to come to Lang Son Palace to mediate the matter. I was afraid that my eldest brother would not be able to withstand the pressure and agree to negotiate a peace, so I rushed back." The new news about Nguyen Phu A Giang is indeed fatal. Zheng Zai represents Zheng  Du, if Nguyen Phuc Bao refuses to accept Zheng Zai¡¯s mediation, it will be tantamount to falling out with Zheng Du. Zheng Du will not need to send troops at that time. The neighbors of Lang Son House will naturally help solve this small problem.

    "Haven't the shares of Shanglu been given to Zheng Du? Why is he still speaking for the Xuanguang Mansion!" The Beiji Mansion is just a puppet, and Zheng Du is willing to help him purely because of the Xuanguang Mansion. Zhou Shixiong guessed this right.

    "The housekeeper just brought a letter explaining the news of Zheng Zai's arrival. The other people don't know." Ruan Fu Ajiang took out the letter and handed it to Zhou Shixiong, hoping that Zhou Shixiong could help come up with a solution to the problem.

    There are only a few words in the letter. In addition to explaining Zheng Zai's purpose, he also hopes that Ruan Fu Ajiang will inquire about Pingxiangzhou to see if the alliance between the two families can continue after Zhou Shixiong's death.  No wonder Ruan Phu Ajiang was willing to show this letter to Zhou Shixiong. The letter revealed Ruan Phuoc Bao's dependence on Pingxiangzhou, and it could be regarded as an expression of goodwill by Ruan Phu Ajiang to Zhou Shixiong.

    "Zheng Du sent his youngest son to Lang Son Palace to mediate, which actually showed his attitude. He prefers Nguyen Phuoc Thuy of Tuyen Quang Palace." Zhou Shixiong thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and expressed his opinion.  "Lang Son Prefecture retaliates against Bac Giud Palace on the grounds that Bac Giud Palace assisted Tuyen Quang Palace. Although this reason is very overbearing, the head of any palace can accept this argument. They do not want the neighboring palace lord to do Bac Giud Palace.  Logically speaking, there is no problem for Lang Son House to retaliate against Bac Giang House for what they have done.¡±

    Zhou Shixiong turned the fallacy into truth. As one of the parties involved, Ruan Fu and Ajiang were a little blushing, but Zhou Shixiong looked like it was natural.  "It's okay for Zheng Du to send people to mediate to show the dignity of the co-leader, but he should not send people to Lang Son Palace. Lang Son Palace must first stand up for reason. Zheng Du does not punish the unreasonable people. There is already a problem. Zheng Zai has not yet  After leaving Thang Long Palace, the content of the mediation was already known to everyone. This was to build momentum and force the uncle to retreat and give up Ben Sen. The intention of suppression was clear. I think that Lang Son Palace defeated Tuyen Quang Palace and occupied Ben Sen.  Zheng Du was afraid that Lang Son Prefecture would take advantage of the situation, so he suppressed Lang Son Prefecture."

    Zhou Shixiong's analysis made Ruan Phu Ajiang's eyes light up. The doubts that he had been thinking about for a long time were finally solved. Zheng Duyuan was in Thang Long Palace. He didn't know that the main credit for defeating Tuyuan Quang Palace and taking down Benson belonged to Pingxiangzhou. From this,  It is normal to have a fear of Lang Son Palace. In addition, Zheng Du has recently fought against Zheng Zhuang several times without success. He will not look good on Lang Son Palace, which has caused war in the rear. It is inevitable to suppress them.  .

    "What's the solution?" Nguyen Phu A Giang relied on Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong, a hard-working godson-in-law, could only do hard work for his mother-in-law, and he could not stop even if he died.

    "The first is to prevent Zheng Zai from coming to Lang Son House. Naturally, there is no problem of mediation." Zhou Shixiong said the first method with a smile. Ruan Phu Ajiang shivered with excitement. She felt that Zhou Shixiong's smile was very permeable.  people.

    "I'm afraid not. The eldest brother got the news and sent me a letter. I believe that Zheng Zai had already set off at that time, and I'm afraid he has entered Lang Son Palace now. If Zheng Zai has a problem in Lang Son Palace, whether it is our fault or not, Zheng Du will not  I will let Lang Son Prefecture go." At this point, Ruan Phuc Ajiang was suddenly startled, looked at Zhou Shixiong in horror and said, "Zi Qi, Ruan Phuc Shou?You won¡¯t use this method to blame Lang Son Province?  "

    "I'm not familiar with Ruan Fushou. I don't know if he can do such a thing. I think it's better to send someone to inform my uncle to protect Zheng Zai as soon as possible." Zhou Shixiong admits that he is not a good person, but his black heart is definitely worse than  Unlike these princes in ancient times, there is no need to feel guilty at all for thinking the worst about them.

    "How about Ziqi come back to Lang Son City with me." Ruan Phu Ajiang originally didn't want to invite Zhou Shixiong to Lang Son City. She had already figured out how to deal with Zheng Zai.  But after Zhou Shixiong's analysis, Ruan Fu Ajiang found that his thinking was too simple. If he agreed to return Benson according to his own method, and then snatched it back after training the new recruits, he would definitely anger Zheng Du. I'll forgive him then.  Shanfu is about to face the army of King Ping An.

    Zhou Shixiong shook his head, "I can't help with this matter. It will be more troublesome if my identity is exposed. Since I am dead, let me disappear. At least my identity cannot be exposed in the past few years." Zhou Shixiong simply rejected Ruan  The reason for Fu Ajiang's invitation is also very strong.

    Nguyen Phu A Giang wrote a note in the carriage and asked a servant to send him to Lang Son City. After explaining these chores, Nguyen Phu A Giang returned to the topic just now, "Zi Qi, the first method doesn't work.  Is there a second way?"

    "Since one thing naturally leads to two, the second way is to have a showdown with Zheng Zai, agree to share part of the benefits of Beizhi Mansion to Zheng Du, and drag Zheng Du into the process of carving up Beizhi Mansion. This method can solve the problem once and for all.  ." Turning the arbiter into an accomplice is a bit of a drain on the fire. It seems that Zhou Shixiong has learned something during his time in the capital.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that Zheng Du¡¯s appetite is too big and he won¡¯t be able to feed him enough.¡± This strategy does not involve military affairs and is an area that Ruan Phu Ajiang is familiar with. She quickly found the shortcomings of this strategy.

    Zhou Shixiong nodded, "You are right, Zheng Du is an ambitious man who wants to control Jiaozhi. Even if you give him the Beizhi Mansion, it will not satisfy his appetite. The last way is to kill him. Once Zheng Du dies,  , the Zheng brothers will inevitably fight for the throne, and they won't have time to take over Xuanguang Mansion, let alone capture Beizhi Mansion." Zhou Shixiong showed his fangs again, he was very enthusiastic about the destruction of the country.

    "I'm afraid this will be difficult." Two of Zhou Shixiong's three strategies were not very feasible. Ruan Phu Ajiang quickly rejected the first and third suggestions and planned to use corruption to deal with Zheng Du and his son.  "Thank you Ziqi for doing so many things for your uncle. When I win the Beizhang Mansion, I promise to help Tiaotiao choose the best town."

    Zhou Shixiong watched Nguyen Phu A Giang¡¯s carriage leave the craftsman¡¯s camp, and he was dissatisfied with Ruan Phu A Giang¡¯s promise, ¡®You¡¯d better not give it, then I will have a reason to take more.  ¡¯

    Back at the craftsmanship camp, Zhou Shixiong continued to work on the elephant-powered chariot. This time he didn't just draw pictures, but actually designed it based on the elephant's size.  With the assistance of a large group of carpenters, the first chariot was made in three days.  The chariot is five meters long, four meters high and three and a half meters wide. It looks like an enlarged trapezoidal vaulting box.  The reason why it is made into a trapezoidal shape is not only to provide more space for the elephants to move, but also to provide seats on both sides of the chariot for the soldiers to ride.

    Zhou Shixiong¡¯s decision to add this troop transport function was not a prank, but a decision he made after truly understanding the traction power of elephants.  An adult elephant weighing more than four tons can pull a cart carrying eight tons and run 20 kilometers round trip without any problem.  Theoretically, an elephant can pull at least three times its own weight. The reason why the weight was only detected as eight tons was because Zhou Shixiong did not have a vehicle that could carry heavier things.

    This giant wooden box weighs less than three tons. It can be carried even if there is no car, but it will be very strenuous.  The weight of the giant wooden box with wheels is carried by the wheels, so the elephant only needs to compete with friction.  Therefore, Zhou Shixiong decided to install additional seats on both sides of the tank so that the tank could also carry troops.

    Opening the back door of the chariot, he pulled the elephant in and put on the harness. Zhou Shixiong was worried that the elephant was not used to moving in such a small space, so he personally sat in the cab and gave the elephant orders.  Fortunately, the elephant does not have claustrophobia and does not feel much discomfort in the house-like carriage. After Zhou Shixiong rewarded it with a large radish as a snack, the elephant slowly started following Zhou Shixiong's order.

    Zhou Shixiong got out of the car after confirming that the elephant could adapt to the small space. While recording various test data, he stared at the wheels.  He was worried that the simple bearings could not bear such a heavy carriage. Fortunately, after all the tests, the carriage did not fall apart and the wheels were not broken. From the appearance, it was still in good condition.

    Back at the craftsmanship camp, Zhou Shixiong directed the craftsmen to dismantle the chariot and analyze and improve it based on the degree of damage to various parts of the chariot.  He himself disassembled the wheel and inspected the axle to see how efficient this primitive bearing actually was.  The result did not disappoint him at all. The chariot had a total of eight wheels. Except for the bearings of the steering wheel, it could still be used. The bearing rollers of the other six load-bearing wheels were damaged to varying degrees. It seemed that they wanted to makeTo build a truly usable tank, it is necessary to improve the quality of bearings.
