    It is not enough to have direction and funding for scientific research, but also requires talents. In this regard, it is Xun Chu who researched gunpowder. It can be said that he was assisted by Xie Zheng, an important talent. The problem is that Taoist Xie is only at the level of a college student, etc.  When gunpowder reached the undergraduate level, he couldn't play anymore.  ©Â¨n©Á  So after Xun Xun talked a lot, Zhuge Liang spread his hands and said, "Where do people come from?"  Xie Zheng is dead, who should I look for to continue my research?  Shi Xunchui thought for a moment and then asked Kong Ming: "Is the old Marquis of Langzhong still alive?" So saying "the old Marquis of Langzhong" does not mean that this person has died, but that he was granted the title of Langzhong County under the old title system.  Marquis, and under the new title system I really can¡¯t remember what title I was transferred to.  This person is not him, it is Zhang Lu and Zhang Gongqi who once dominated Hanchuan.  Shi Xun didn't know whether Zhang Lu's Five Pecks of Rice method burned elixirs or refined medicine, but he knew that Zhang Lu's grandfather Zhang Ling was later regarded as the ancestor of Tianshi Tao and the first generation Zhang Tianshi, and some of Tianshi Tao's  The sect is indeed alchemy.  So I pointed Zhuge Liang on this path and asked him to go find Zhang Lu and ask.  Don't tell me that Zhang Lu is not dead. He is still living in the suburbs of Luoyang with the false title of General of Zhennan and Marquis of Duxiang. Although Cao Cao does not allow him to publicize his own Taoism, he usually teaches a few disciples,  Preaching sermons in the village is not prohibited.  Zhang Lu happened to be poor, because there were many devout believers who followed him to escape Hanzhong. After working as sacrificial wine for many years, they no longer knew how to make a living by farming. They could only preach and cast spells. Now they all rely on their teachers.  You are in charge of food, and Zhang Lu's little salary and salary are not enough at all.  "So he and Zhuge Liang hit it off right away. I'm going to introduce you to a few disciples, and you can find a serious match for them."  So Zhuge Liang put all the five measures of rice and wine into the Arms and Preparation Department of the Ministry of War, and went to be responsible for the new research of gunpowder weapons.  Then not long after, the poison chimney was freshly baked.  This time it was Xun who went to Hanzhong and brought such a batch of poison chimneys, euphemistically calling them "smoke and flames in the sky".  In addition, an old sacrificial wine maker with five measures of rice was also brought with him. He is now serving as the seventh rank of the Military Preparation Department of the Ministry of War. His surname is Li, his given name is Jiang, and his courtesy name is Yinzhi.  w£Ûww.£®  This Li Yinzhi was originally a native of Shu.  A native of Deyang, who claimed to be a descendant of Lao Dan Li Er, it is said that before he was born, his parents dreamed of an immortal in crimson clothing holding Xuan Guang and entrusting him to his birth.  Therefore, he was named Li Jiang.  Li Jiang once studied Taoism under Zhang Heng's sect, and was Zhang Lu's younger brother. He was also famous in Hanzhong for a while, and later fled back to Cao Wei with Zhang Lu.  He came back this time to serve as a guide to Hanchuan.  At the same time, it is also responsible for the transportation, storage, repair and application of various gunpowder weapons.  That day at Baishui Pass, Jushou suggested that we don¡¯t need to set a fire. Since the wind direction is suitable, we might as well use the "smoke and miasma" to smoke his mother. So Shixun called Li Jiang over to discuss.  Li Yinzhi observed the terrain and said that the two peaks here are facing each other, almost like a corridor. Using the wind direction, poisonous smoke can indeed be fired to hurt people within 200 steps.  But the problem has been tested by us.  Those who are poisoned by smoke within fifty steps will bleed from their mouths and noses and basically lose their ability to fight. If they are a hundred steps away, the effect is not guaranteed.  Moreover, if the smoke does not dissipate, it will be difficult for the soldiers to follow up. If the smoke dissipates, the effect will probably be over After all, this is not a chemical weapon of later generations. It is unlikely to really poison people to death on the spot.  I heard that dampening a hand towel with water and covering your mouth and nose can reduce smoke damage to a certain extent.  You can try it first to see if it works.  As for the limited damage caused to the enemy He rolled his eyes slightly and asked Li Jiang: "In the past, when you were offering wine in Hanzhong, could you have cast a spell?" Li Jiang replied with a red face, it was mostly just a deception.  Only burning talismans can cure diseases, which is somewhat effective - "If the governor is not in good health, Jiang Nai can burn talismans." Shi Xun said forget it, I don't even believe in serious doctors these days, let alone you and other witches.  Sir "I want you to be a good traveler now, just to blind your eyes." He assigned Ma Su a task a while ago.  Didn't you say that "attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom priority"?  Then go collect information for me everywhere and understand the customs and people's sentiments in Hanzhong and Bashu areas, in order to grasp the hearts of the people as soon as possible - when attacking the enemy, the people's hearts are the weapons; when governing after victory, the people's hearts are the benchmark.  According to Ma Su's report, the Shu people were superstitious and believed in witchcraft the most - "This is slightly similar to our Jingchu people, but it's better." So Shixun took advantage of the enemy's common superstition and asked Li Jiang to pretend  As a "big ritual wine for curing the head", he played a trick of casting demons and summoning ghost soldiers.  ¨T©Á.£¼.  The thick smoke coming out of Li Jiang's back was actually sprayed by the "Smoke and Flame Miasma", followed by a cowhide blower used to burn fire and strike iron, blowing in the wind.  Li Jiang himself had long covered his face with wet wipes, but even so, his mouth and nose still bled after the war, and he even took Chinese medicine for several days - for some reason, he didn't just give himself the talisman water  As for the ghost soldiers, they were just elite Wei soldiers who smeared red mud on their faces and painted copper bells with big eyes. They also covered their faces with wet wipes.?The military doctor prepared an antidote pill for each person and put it under the tongue.  In this way, Baishui Pass was conquered in one fell swoop.  The checkpoint has been taken down, but the smoke has not cleared yet. Shixun does not want to take risks, so he stops outside the pass for the time being. Cao Zhen requests that the pursuit be launched immediately - "Covering your mouth and nose with wet wipes can indeed prevent poisons. I am fully prepared now."  , It¡¯s time to pursue in a hurry. The plank road is narrow and difficult to turn around. If you pursue in a hurry, you can go hundreds of miles. If you don¡¯t pursue, it will be difficult to defeat the dangerous points when the Shu people reorganize their troops and horses. " " Shi Xun advised.  Not convinced by Cao Zhen, he had no choice but to let him pursue him. At the same time, he urged Hanzhong soldiers and horses from the rear to come for reinforcements.  Furthermore, when Zhao Yun and Ma Daifu arrived at the pass, they were attacked by the defeated troops. They could not survive and had to retreat. Cao Zhen took the opportunity to pursue them fiercely, killing many people. The key is that the Shu army passed by ten and ten, and they all thought that the Wei people had invited troops.  Jun Gaozou, you have used the magic method, how can you dare to fight them?  Morale collapsed, and they were defeated for dozens of miles. Even Ma Mingge, who was guarding Guanxing, was forced to give up.  Shi Xun arrived at Maming Pavilion on the second day. He saw that the terrain here was more dangerous than Baishui Pass, so he built a wooden pavilion on the plank road, just like the Xuankong Temple in Shanxi in later generations. Of course, in terms of the tight defense and the ability to enter the pass,  There are not as many soldiers and horses as there are at Baishui Pass.  It was Xun Xin who said that Cao Zidan was a man who really knew the military and knew that he should take advantage of the victory to pursue him fiercely. If he continued to hide behind like me, he would definitely miss the chance of fighting.  So where is Cao Zhen now?  It is said that he personally led more than a thousand soldiers to stride forward and rushed through Maming Pavilion in one breath. Not far south, he actually walked out of the plank road and came to an open land.  This place is under the jurisdiction of Jiameng County. In the original history, Liu Bei once established a new county here.  It was called "Hanshou" (not Hanshou of Hanshou Tinghou of Guan Yu), but it was still just a small town on this timeline - where the urban area of ??Guangyuan would later be located.  Going from Hanzhong to the Sichuan Basin, there are high mountains, deep gorges, and continuous plank roads. When you arrive in Guangyuan, you suddenly feel cheerful.  It's like a person walking on a tightrope for a long time and suddenly finding a wooden post to rest on.  At this point, all the Wei soldiers were too tired to pursue, and Cao Zhen had no choice but to stop.  Moreover, he also considered that Jiameng was in front of him, and Liu Feng's main force was there.  If we rush to attack in a hurry, we will be defeated with only a thousand men and no danger to defend - so it is better to set up a stronghold for defense.  Sure enough, Liu Feng was shocked when he received the news of defeat: "I originally intended to defend Baishui and Maming for half a year, but how could I lose it in a few days? Is the Wei army so brave?" Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, Guan Xing and others reported the previous situation  , Liu Feng was surprised and doubtful: "There are five buckets of rice demons in the Wei army, who can recruit ghosts and gods?" Huang Quan said, I guess it's just a cover-up, the Wei people must have introduced some new weapons - "Previously  I bought gunpowder and arrows from the Central Plains. The late emperor tried it, and everyone thought it was a ghost. "Please tell me immediately to lead a group of soldiers and go to the front to see the situation."  Huang Quan led thousands of people to Guangyuan and had slight contact with Cao Zhen's troops, causing little damage.  However, he saw that Cao Zhen's camp was basically established and knew that he could not attack it in a hurry, so he had to retreat temporarily.  Immediately, Shi Xun and others also led their troops to Guangyuan, where they reorganized their troops and hoarded supplies.  Follow-up troops and grain were also sent from Hanzhong. Within six days, the Shu army came to attack several times.  They were all repelled by Cao Zhen. Six days later, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Niu Jin and others also led the main force to come, with a total force of more than 40,000.  The two sides entered a confrontation situation.  The Shu army came from Jiameng on the plank road.  As soon as they reached the ground, they might be attacked head-on by the Wei army. Therefore, although Liu Feng had 30,000 men under his command, he did not dare to act rashly for the time being.  If the Wei army wanted to attack, they had to go up the plank road first, and then they would reach Jiameng County.  There is a pass in front of it - Jiameng Pass.  Shi Xun, together with other generals and staff, rode on horseback to see Jiameng. They saw that although this pass was not as dangerous as Baishui, it was still quite majestic and difficult to capture.  He couldn't help but sigh: "Unexpectedly, there are so many dangers in Sichuan. After the white water, there is Ma Ming, after Ma Ming, there is Jiameng, and after that, there is Jian Pavilion. How can we cross it?" Just as he was hesitating, he heard Cao Zhen ask: "Jian Pavilion,  Where?" Shi Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and quickly took the map to look at it - in front was Jiameng, then Dangde, Zilu Oh, where is Jiange?  I remember it should be south of Jiameng Pass In fact, there was no sword pavilion in these years, or in this timeline there was no sword pavilion.  In the original history, after Zhuge Liang took charge of the government of Shu, because Dangde County had "a thirty-mile road from Dajian to Xiaojian Pass, with dangerous mountains", "the stone was cut out of the sky to become the Feiliang Pavilion Road.  "To travel" - hence the name "Jiange", which is also the Jianmen Pass in later generations.  Shi Xun finally recalled this, so he estimated that the Jiange Pavilion should be in Dangde County. The specific location is still unknown, and it is likely that the pavilion road and pass beams were not built. The defense would not be as terrifying as when Jiang Wei blocked Zhonghui later.  .  But regardless of how scary the Jiange is, I can¡¯t even pass Jiameng Pass now, can I?  Li JianghuanThe boy next to him said cleverly: "Someone can do magic tricks again." It was Xun who said it was useless, pretending to be a ghost, but it can never be done again.  Besides, the terrain of Jiameng Pass is different from that of Baishui Pass. It is relatively open and the city is also large. How many "Smoke and Flames" must be released to injure the enemy?  There are Liu Feng, Huang Quan, Zhao Yun and other famous generals in the pass, especially the young Zhang Shao. Even if 70% of the soldiers are frightened, they may be able to stabilize the morale of the army in a short time.  So he ignored Li Jiang, just looked at the map, frowned and asked, "Is this the only way to enter Shu?" Cao Zhen said that it was very regrettable, as this was the first road from Hanzhong to Shu.  Shixun thought to himself: "As for the road to Shu, I know one better than you" (To be continued.) ps: The book friend "I'm carrying pole vine" appears, that is, Li Jiang and Li Yinzhi.  Speaking of the demon he set up himself, he originally thought he would have no chance to appear. This time he asked for someone who knew magic, and it happened to be used. He was lucky, hahahaha~ Now let¡¯s take a guess, will this person be easy to use?  Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
