For Huai Prime Minister Meng Chuliang, he did not expect that the court would sit down calmly in the end to negotiate, and finally negotiate the results.

The result is actually not satisfactory. The three-month armistice agreement is better than nothing. The battle should be fought or fought, and the world should be fought will not be rested. Both sides did not put too much thought on this armistice agreement. Later, Meng Chuliang even forgot what the specific content of the agreement was.

Whatever he is.

After the agreement was negotiated, Meng Chuliang and Zhou Ying were going to lead the envoy team back to Huai. They would arrive soon after crossing the river, but Meng Chuliang was not in a hurry to leave.

Meng Chuliang asked to see the new emperor and the forward general Liu Yu again, but he did not see him. Meng Chuliang didn't care at all about not being able to see the new emperor. The new emperor had fewer chances to show his face, but he still didn't mind Liu Yu, the most powerful opponent he had ever encountered.

On the night of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Meng Chuliang arranged for the envoys to pack his luggage, and Zhou Ying also returned in great silence that night. In this war for the world, not only did the court install fine works in the Huai army, but the King of Huai had more fine works in the court army, but none of these fine works brought back the news that Liu Yu had raided south. The court army grasped all the movements of the Huai army's military operations.

"Then Liu Wenyan is so arrogant." Zhou Ying said angrily when he heard that Meng Chuliang had not seen Liu Yu.

"It doesn't matter if you can't see him. Seeing him alone will not turn the situation around. On the contrary, if you can't see him, you may still retain a little mystery. You will pay more attention to it next time you fight." Meng Chuliang finished speaking thoughtfully, and suddenly looked at Zhou Ying, "Wenliang. What you asked you to do is done?"

"Um."

Zhou Ying suddenly smiled deceitfully and nodded. He was so secretive.

In fact, what Meng Chuliang asked him to do was to get the pattern of the new weapons of the imperial army and secretly transport it out of Yangzhou City.

As long as the court army has secret weapons drawings, the Huai Army can also be manufactured in large quantities, and this war will not be one-sided before the New Year.

The Huai land's fine work cost a lot, so I got the opportunity to get in touch with the new weapons research institute, and then bought the top-secret information and sent it out of the city. Everything tests the Huai army's ability to do major tasks in detail. The facts prove that as long as there is money, it is easy to do things, and Liu Wenyan's confidentiality work seems to be carried out very well.

"There is one thing that Meng Xiangguo has, I don't know whether to say it or not." Zhou Ying suddenly said.

"Tell me." Meng Chuliang said calmly without saying nonsense.

Zhou Ying said cautiously: "It is reported that Liu Wenyan is organizing people to develop new weapons, but this time it is more confidential. There are very few people who have come into contact with this new weapon, and there is no way to win over it. Is it..."

"Is there any news?" Meng Chuliang asked.

"There is some news, but it is not accurate. It is reported that the new weapons should also be related to firearms. They seem to burn on a large scale. This is the news that we are coming back with great risk of our lives."

Meng Chuliang frowned. He was a little confused about Liu Yu's purpose. If you study muskets, you can already make the imperial army undefeated. If you study it, do you have the ability?

Before Meng Chuliang saw the musket, he thought it was a very mysterious thing. Later, he found out that it was just a musket. He did not expect that the modified musket would have such great power. In the past, such powerful but unrealistic weapons were not at all attracted to his magic eyes. As for the cannon, Liu Yu only turned the cannon that originally fired lead balls into sulfur bombs. This slight change was very effective. Besides other weapons, Meng Chuliang could not think of anything worth modifying.

As for inventing new weapons, Meng Chuliang felt that Liu Yu, as a young man from an official family, might not have the ability.

"The burning weapon? Where did you judge it?" Meng Chuliang asked.

"It is also a detailed work that I got from the word "subtle" of the core members of the weapons. They are very interested in some things that can burn quickly. By the way, there is also this!" Zhou Ying took out some things like rags and opened them. It looked like it was burning. He could not tell what kind of thing the small piece of black burning steps came from.

"What is this?" Meng Chuliang looked at a few pieces of rags, but he was unaware of the problem.

Zhou Ying explained: "These are made from Liu Wenyan's Weapon Research Institute. It seems to be left behind when studying new weapons. As for what they can do, I still don't know."

Meng Chuliang looked through it again and couldn't make any clues. These things looked very light, but they seemed very fire-resistant. They were burned to gray and black by the fire, and they were still very strong. They could only be pulled off with force. Throwing the broken steps into the fire did not burn quickly, which means that the cloth was very fire-resistant, and there were no other clues to be obtained.

Zhou Ying looked at Meng Chuliang urgently, hoping to get the exact answer from Meng Chuliang. But Zhou Ying was disappointed, and Meng Chuliang didn't see anything.

Meng Chuliang smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Wenyan found something that could burn, not just to burn these cloths, right? Or, he wanted to transform the cannon and replace the sulfur bomb with something that was more likely to burn? Forget Wenliang, Yangzhou City is not peaceful after all, and the people from the court discovered our purpose. They would not let us leave easily. We will set off to Huai to report the news to the emperor tomorrow."

There are no two kings in the country, and now there are two main kings in the world. As long as one of them is not abdicated, the war will continue until the winner is decided. Originally, the Huai King was emperor, even if he could not win the world, he would firmly defend Huai and become the emperor of Huai, or if he was separated from the north and south, it would be fine, but now the Huai King is moving in an increasingly unfavorable direction. Even if he had 100% confidence in Huai King and the Huai Army, he would have to reduce his confidence in winning to 50%.

No one knows what will happen after the beginning of spring.

Meng Chuliang left on the 14th day of the first lunar month, and the court sent a message to him to fight against rebellion. Chai Jin was still a bit too enthusiastic. At the end, he specifically mentioned that it was Liu Yu, the vanguard of the army. The members of the sectarian delegation had to go back to visit relatives on the Shangyuan Festival, so the armistice agreement was concluded as soon as possible.

After leaving the city, Zhou Ying couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know if he is really stupid or fake."

The court sent Chai Jin to negotiate this trick, but it proved that the court did not have the sincerity of the peace talks, which was actually very similar to King Huai. Their envoy team was not here to negotiate.

It only takes one or two hours to walk from Yangzhou City to the riverside. Now it is riding a horse. The speed is faster. When he heard Zhou Ying’s complaint, Meng Chuliang glanced at him. It was obvious that the future son-in-law of the King of Huai was a little contemptuous of Chai Jin. Although Chai Jin was very stupid on the surface, anyone who had fought with him would find his connotation. If no one discovered Chai Jin's advantages, a stupid person like Chai Jin would not be able to hold a high position as the Grand Marshal for rebellion and did a good job.

"With the ship, are there any progress these days?" Meng Chuliang asked suddenly.

At this time, the envoy team had left a section of the south city gate of Yangzhou. There were no large-scale mobilizations on the road except for the guards escorted by the imperial army. Now the imperial court's defense line in Yangzhou is still dominated by a city in Yangzhou.

"When our army headed south, even if the ships in Jiangbei were not recruited, they were all burned down. Now the court is only studying new weapons and has no intention of building ships. Perhaps a batch of ships will be transferred from other cities along the river these days." Zhou Ying said, "But according to students' speculation, the court army would not go south from Yangzhou even if it was to take the road south."

The intelligence work of King Huai in the north was very good. The court had no troubles in the spring, but it could not hide the King Huai's suspicion. For example, the manpower and material resources used to mobilize ships or build ships were very huge, and they could not hide them even if they wanted to. If not, it was very likely that it was really not.

"Wenliang, are you saying that Liu Wenyan will lead his army directly from Lianzhou to move southwest to avoid the Jiang defense of the Huai Army?"

"Can't he?" Zhou Ying said, "If he goes straight from Yangzhou, how many elite soldiers and generals will be buried in the river. Northerners are not familiar with water wars. If our mighty fleet cooperates with the artillery researched by Liu Wenyan..."

Meng Chuliang gave Zhou Ying a blank look and said, "When you are in the enemy's territory, you can't talk nonsense!"

The giant fleet of King Huai was the secret weapon of King Huai's turnaround defeat into victory. As long as the court army dared to go south from the river, as long as it was caught by the Huai army's navy, it would definitely beat the dogs. This time the dogs fell into the water are really dogs. Most people in the north are not familiar with water. Even if they are familiar with water, large ships suppress small boats, and muskets are useless. The cannons cannot exert any power on the boat.

Zhou Ying suddenly seemed to think: "Prime Minister, today the student heard a news that someone in Yangzhou City fell from high and fell to pieces. Is there anything strange? "

"Who was the one who died of falling?"

Zhou Ying shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems that he jumped out of the city tower and died. At the beginning, the students were afraid that our detailed work was discovered by the court and forced to jump off the city tower. Later, looking at the court's cautious appearance, it doesn't look like it. Do you think this has anything to do with this war?"

The soldiers from north and south were on the shore, and suddenly a soldier jumped into the city tower to commit suicide. This was very strange, but after thinking about it, it was not much strange.

It is winter now, and the walls of Yangzhou City have been disrepair for many years. Even if they fall down, they don’t think they are rare. Meng Chuliang was about to think carefully about whether this matter is related to the war, so he saw from afar that the soldiers and horses seemed to be mobilized on the riverside. A young man he had seen was riding on a horse, escorted by a group of guards, as if waiting for the arrival of the envoy of the Huai King.

Liu Wenyan.

"It's him, indeed." Meng Chuliang couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Yu was not waiting for Meng Chuliang and his party. Liu Yu was inspecting the river defense by the riverside. When he heard that the team of the Huai King envoys came here, he sent him off. For Liu Yu, he also missed the opponent he met in Jiankang City. It was difficult not to pay attention to him when he met the opponent.

"Captain Huai, now it's time to call him the Prime Minister." Liu Yu dismounted to greet him and smiled, "I am Liu Wenyan, I'm polite."

When Meng Chuliang met Liu Yu last time, he felt that although he had a momentum, he was not as good as turning his hands around. It was only two months now that Liu Yu had gone from a little Mao man who had only power but no experience in leading troops to the absolute commander who changed the situation. Meng Chuliang finally knew that he had not misunderstood at the beginning.

"Good luck, lucky luck." For Meng Chuliang, it doesn't matter who Liu Yu is, he wants to finish the game of the chess game.

After playing that game of chess, there is a game of chess that is planning the world waiting for them.
