"Why do you do this?" Xiangzhou took the initiative to work hard to build roads for Lang Sang Mansion. Although the two families are allies, Zhou Shixiong's approach was too bizarre, and Ruan Phuket could not understand it.

"Building roads is both true and false. To capture the entire Beiping Prefecture, not only will it defeat the troops of Beiping Prefecture, but it will also repel reinforcements from Xuan Guang Prefecture and prevent the Gaoping Prefecture, the yellow bird, which is the 10,000 new recruits in Lang Sang Prefecture. I arranged 15,000 people to build roads. In addition to building roads, these people also had to pretend to be the soldiers of the government when they were sending troops to attack Beiping Prefecture, confusing spies from all over the country, and covering the soldiers of Lang Sang Prefecture and I will go to warn the soldiers of the Lang Sang Prefecture and relying on the troops of Xiangzhou Guards." Zhou Shixiong tried to explain as concisely as possible what these people were used to let Nguyen Phu Ah Jiang understand that he was trying to help Nguyen Phubao. [..com]

"I haven't thought about such a long-term situation. It seems that marching and fighting is still the world of your men." Ruan Phuket Ah Jiang sighed very much. Zhou Shixiong convinced himself and his elder brother to form a new mansion soldier, and then came up with the idea of ​​stealing the truth. It was terrible that he and his elder brother were incomparable in military affairs.

"There are few soldiers in Beijinfu, and it is not difficult to capture it. But what we need is a quick battle and a quick decision. We cannot let Beijinfu survive and wait for reinforcements. If we don't use some tricks to confuse the enemy, it will be difficult to achieve this goal." Zhou Shixiong knew that Nguyen Phu Ajiang was an insightful person, but unfortunately he didn't know much about military affairs and could only be considered an internal talent.

"Zi Qi, there is a news you may not know. In the past few months, the Beiping Mansion and Xuan Kwang Mansion complained to Zheng Du, saying that the Lang Sang Mansion had occupied the town of Beiping Mansion for no reason and hoped that Zheng Du would order the Lang Sang Mansion to withdraw from the Beiping Mansion. A few days ago, Zheng Du's youngest son Zheng Zai was ordered to come to Liang Sang Mansion to mediate the matter. I was afraid that my elder brother would not be able to withstand the pressure to agree to the peace agreement, so he rushed back." Nguyen Phuket's new news was indeed fatal. Zheng Du represented Zheng Du. If Nguyen Phuket refused to accept Zheng Du's mediation, it would be like turning against Zheng Du. If Zheng Du did not need to send troops at that time, the neighbors of Lang Sang Mansion would naturally help solve this small problem.

"Hasn't Shanglu's shares been given to Zheng Du? Why did he still speak for Xuanguang Mansion?" Beijin Mansion was just a puppet, and Zheng Duncan came forward to help him purely because of Xuanguang Mansion. Zhou Shixiong was right about this.

"The housekeeper just brought a letter to explain that Zheng Zai was coming, and the other old men didn't know." Ruan Phuket 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, it is also hoped that Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang would inquire about the news about Ping Xiangzhou and see if the alliance between the two families can continue after Zhou Shixiong’s death. No wonder Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang was willing to show this letter to Zhou Shixiong. The letter revealed that Nguyen Phuc Bao’s dependence on Ping Xiangzhou, which was also considered as Nguyen Phuc Jiang’s goodwill to Zhou Shixiong.

"Zheng Du sent his youngest son to Lang Sang Mansion to mediate, which actually shows his attitude. He tended toward Ruan Phuc Shou of Xuan Guang Mansion." Zhou Shixiong thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts and expressed his opinion. "Lang Sang Mansion retaliated against Beiping Mansion on the grounds that Beiping Mansion assisted Xuan Guang Mansion. Although this reason is very domineering, any government lord of the government can accept this statement. They do not want the neighboring government lord to do what Beiping Mansion has done. It is completely fine to retaliate against Beiping Mansion in terms of reason."

Zhou Shixiong described the fallacies as justification. As one of the parties involved, Nguyen Phuket Ah Jiang was a little angry, but Zhou Shixiong looked like this. "It was nothing that Zheng Sang Du sent people to mediate to show the dignity of the common ruler, but he shouldn't send people to Lang Sang Mansion. Lang Sang Mansion first stood the word "reason". Zheng Sang Mansion had already had a problem not going to punish unreasonable people. Before Zheng Zai left Shenglong Mansion, the content of the mediation was well known. This was to create momentum and force his uncle to retreat and give up Benson, and the suppression was clearly visible. I think that Lang Sang Mansion's two things that repelled Xuan Guang Mansion and occupied Benson made Zheng Sang Mansion scared, and was afraid that Lang Sang Mansion would take advantage of the situation, so he suppressed Lang Sang Mansion."

Zhou Shixiong's analysis made Nguyen Phuket's eyes lit up, and his doubts that he had been puzzled for a long time were finally resolved. Zheng Duyuan was in Shenglong Mansion, and he did not know that the main contribution of defeating Xuan Guang Mansion and taking Bansen was Ping Xiangzhou. Therefore, it is normal for him to feel fear of Lang Sang Mansion. In addition, Zheng Du has fought with Zheng Zhuang several times recently and has returned in vain. It is inevitable to have a good face to Lang Sang Mansion, which caused the war in the rear.

"What is the solution?" Ruan Phuket A Jiang was relying on Zhou Shixiong last year. Zhou Shixiong, a hard-working son-in-law, could only do hard work for his mother-in-law, and he could not calm down even if he died.

"One is to make Zheng Zai unable to come to Lang San Mansion, so naturally there is no mediation problem." Zhou Shixiong smiled and said the first solution. Ruan Phuket shivered all over. She felt that Zhou Shixiong's smile was very cunning.

"I'm afraid it won't work. Brother got the news to send me a letter. I believe that Zheng Zai had already set out at that time, and now he might have entered Lang Sang Mansion. If Zheng Zai had a problem in Lang Sang Mansion, no matter whether we did it or not, Zheng Du would not let Lang Sang Mansion go." Speaking of this, Ruan Phuket was suddenly stunned and looked at Zhou Shixiong in horror and said, "Zi Qi, will Ruan Phuket use this method to blame Lang Sang Mansion?"

"I am not familiar with Ruan Phuchou and don't know if he can do such a thing. I think it's better to send someone to notify my uncle and protect Zheng Zai as soon as possible." Zhou Shixiong considered himself not a good person, but his level of blackness is definitely not as good as those of the ancient princes. It doesn't have to feel guilty about thinking about them at all.

"Why do Ziqi and I go back to Langshan City with me?" Ruan Phuket did not want to invite Zhou Shixiong to Langshan City. She had already figured out how to deal with Zheng Zai. However, after Zhou Shixiong's analysis, Ruan Phuket found that she was thinking too simple. If she agreed to hand over to Benson in accordance with her own method and then snatch the recruits back, she would definitely anger Zheng Du. Lang Phuket's mansion would face King Ping'an's army at that time.

Zhou Shixiong shook his head, "I can't help with this matter. If my identity is exposed, it will be more troublesome. Since I am dead, let me disappear. At least I can't reveal my identity in the past few years." Zhou Shixiong simply rejected Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang's invitation, and the reason was also very powerful.

Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang wrote a note in the carriage, which attracted a servant to send him to Lang San City. After explaining these chores, Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang reiterated the topic just now, "Zi Qi, the first method is not possible, is there a second method?"

"Since there is one, there are two, the second way is to show off with Zheng Zai, agree to share part of the interests of the Beijin Mansion to Zheng Du, and bring Zheng Du into the ranks of the division of the Beijin Mansion. This way can solve the problem once and for all." Turning the arbitrator into a co-party has a bit of a trick to cut off 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 full." This strategy does not involve military affairs, but is a familiar area that Ruan Phuket is familiar to him. 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 he gives him all the Beijin Mansion, he will not be able to satisfy his appetite. The last way is to kill him. Once Zheng Du dies, the Zheng brothers will inevitably fight for the throne. Not to mention occupying Beijin Mansion, they will not have time to take over Xuanguang Mansion." Zhou Shixiong showed his fangs again, and he was very enthusiastic about ** destruction.

"This is probably difficult." Zhou Shixiong's three strategies were not practical. Ruan Phuket Ah Jiang quickly rejected the first and third suggestions, intending to use corruption to deal with Zheng Du and his son. "Thank you Ziqi for doing so many things for your uncle. When you win the Beiping Mansion, you promise to help Tiaotiao choose the best town."

Zhou Shixiong watched Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang's carriage leave the jiangzuo camp, and he disagreed with Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang's promise, "You'd better not give it to me, and I'll have a reason to get more at that time."

Back at the craftsman camp, Zhou Shixiong continued to work on the development of the elephant-powered chariot. This time he not only drew pictures, but actually designed it according to the size of the elephant. With the assistance of a large group of woodworking craftsmen, the first chariot was made in three days. The chariot was five meters long, four meters wide, and three meters wide, and looked like an enlarged trapezoidal vault box. The reason why it was made into a trapezoidal shape was not only to provide more space for elephants to move, but also to provide seats on both sides of the chariot for soldiers to ride.

Zhou Shixiong's increase in this troop transport function was not a spoof, but decided after he truly understood the traction of the elephant. An adult elephant weighing more than four tons can pull a plate truck with a load of eight tons, and it is fine to run twenty kilometers round and trip. In theory, the elephant can pull at least three times its weight. The reason why only eight tons was detected was that Zhou Shixiong did not have a car that could carry heavier things.

This giant wooden box weighs less than three times, and even without a car elephant, it can run on its back, but it will be very difficult. In addition, the giant wooden box of the wheels is carried by the wheels, and the elephant only needs to compete with friction. Therefore, Zhou Shixiong decided to install seats on both sides of the chariot to make the chariot carry the effect of troops.

Opening the back door of the chariot and pulling the elephant in and putting it on the car cover, Zhou Shixiong was worried that the elephant would not be used to moving in such a small space, so he sat in the cab and ordered the elephant. Fortunately, the elephant had no space to claustrophobia and did not feel too discomfort with the carriages of the house. After Zhou Shixiong gave it a big radish to make snacks, the elephant slowly started with Zhou Shixiong's order.

After confirming that the elephant could adapt to the small space, Zhou Shixiong got out of the car. While recording various test data, he stared at the wheels. He was worried that the simple bearings could not withstand such heavy carriages. Fortunately, after all the tests, the carriages did not fall apart and the wheels did not break. Judging from the appearance, they were still pretty good.

Back at the craftsman camp, Zhou Shixiong commanded craftsmen to remove the chariot and analyze and improve according to the degree of damage in various places of the chariot. He himself took off the wheels and checked the axles to see how the actual efficiency of this most primitive bearing was. The result did not disappoint him at all. The chariot had a total of eight wheels. In addition to the bearings of the steering wheel, it could continue to be used. The bearing rollers of the other six load-load wheels were damaged to varying degrees. It seemed that it was necessary to create a truly usable chariot and improve the bearing quality.
