In September of the first year of Taiping, an amazing news spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Liu Cheng, who was just appointed as King Kang a month ago, took one month to take over Qingzhou.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked.

As the details of Liu Cheng's entry into Qingzhou became well-known, the shock of the whole world not only did not diminish, but became deeper.

Because people discovered that Liu Cheng's entry into Qingzhou this time was not just about destroying the Yellow Turbans. When he was dealing with the Yellow Turbans, he also had to face the three forces of Tang Ming and Han.

It was in this situation that Liu Cheng not only took down the Yellow Turbans with one hand, but also destroyed the 150,000 troops that the Ming Dynasty marched into Qingzhou with the backhand.

It was precisely because Liu Cheng won the Yellow Turbans in the battle of Qinghai Port and destroyed the 150,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty that the Tang and Han troops withdrew from Qingzhou within the next two days, stationed troops on the Qingzhou border and completely handed over Qingzhou to Liu Cheng.

With one's own strength, Liu Cheng's strength is amazing.

...

Sili, Luoyang, Cao Mansion.

"In less than a month, King Kang won Qingzhou with one and four, and this strength is terrifying."

Upon hearing the news that Liu Cheng had entered Qingzhou, Cao An couldn't help but smile.

Liu Cheng's entry not only attracted the attention of those martial soul forces, but also created a better development environment for Cao An at this time.

More importantly, with a powerful ally like Liu Cheng, they will be much more relaxed in their subsequent strategic layout, but Xun Yu, who was beside Cao An, frowning at this time.

"Wen Ruo? What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with King Kang?"

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "No, there is no big problem with King Kang. The three sides of Tang and Han have taken action once, and after the Ming army was defeated, the Tang and Han armies quickly withdrew. From this point of view, they probably had no plans to fight to the death at this time.

Therefore, the situation on King Kang’s side can be said to have stabilized at the moment, at least no one will act rashly without any variables.

After all, judging from the strength shown by King Kang, it is not easy to defeat him, and he is backed by the sea, and he can still retreat calmly if the situation is not good.

The cost is high and the achievements are small. At present, Qingzhou should not cause any more troubles.

At least, Qingzhou will be safe until no one does that."

"Then what are you doing with a frown?"

"Lord, do you really don't know what I'm worried about? The time you agreed with them is about to come..."

Before Xun Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao An: "You don't have to worry about this matter. It's okay, it's just to return the things that don't belong to me to them. There will be no problem. But don't neglect what you promised King Kang. Since King Kang has taken Qingzhou, you should prepare immediately and send him what promised him."

Xun Yu opened his mouth and finally nodded, and then went down to send away the fragments of Wang Fugui's martial soul.

It was not until Xun Yu left that Cao An's face was slightly collapsed. It was obvious that he did not care as much as he showed that he was not as concerned about that matter as he had shown.

But despite his fear, since he had agreed, Cao An would not regret it at this time, and would not show fear in front of Xun Yu.

This was not a method Cao Anyu gave, but he knew very clearly that once he showed fear, it would be hard to say what Xun Yu would do.

"No matter what, you have to face sooner or later."

While murmuring gently, Cao An let out a sigh of relief, threw out all kinds of complicated thoughts, and continued to calm down and continue to write quickly.

Xuzhou, Minghuang Palace!

As an actual participant in the Battle of Qingzhou, Daming knew the results of the Qingzhou battlefield earlier than anyone else.

Of course, this is not a good experience. After all, they have paid 150,000 elite soldiers, several first-class generals, and Xu Da, the first general of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Xu Da was not dead yet. The battle at Qinghai Port was over after Zhang Mancheng arrived. Xu Da was eventually captured by Ying Shengnan during that battle.

Xu Da was still alive, so he gave hope to the Ming Dynasty.

Not long ago, the Ming Dynasty sent people to contact Liu Cheng and expressed that they wanted to redeem Xu Da.

But the people from the Ming Dynasty went to the wrong time. When they passed by, Liu Cheng had just taken Qingzhou. He didn't have much time to deal with the people from the Ming Dynasty. He was left untouched for several days before someone met the people sent by the Ming Dynasty.

But when he met the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Cheng obviously knew what the other party was here for.

Aren't you going to redeem people? No problem, as long as you can afford the price.

Liu Cheng put forward several conditions on the spot. Among those conditions, the first few were just to write money and food, but the last one was very different.

Liu Cheng directly wanted people, and what he wanted was not ordinary people, but artillery technical talents under the Ming Dynasty.

The first few requests were easy to say, but the last one was a little hesitant for the Ming Dynasty.

You should know that the Ming Dynasty itself is not as good as the neighbors next to them in terms of its heritage. Although the great Chu in the south is worse than theirs in terms of its heritage, it cannot resist the fact that it has a Western Chu king.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the weakest force on the coast, and is almost on the same level as the previous Yellow Turbans.

It is precisely for this reason that the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to firearms, and even the hope of their rise among firearms.

In this case, Liu Cheng wanted their firearm experts, so they naturally couldn't bear to give it to him.

But if they don’t give it, Xu Da, the first general of the Ming Dynasty, will be in the hands of others. It is not appropriate to refuse to save him, so this matter is more difficult.

For this matter, the Ming Dynasty Palace discussed it for several days, but no results were found.

However, after listening for a few days, the Ming Emperor decided to redeem Xu Da. Of course, the Ming Emperor actually had another layer of calculation at this time. He knew that Liu Cheng had artillery like [Invincible General of God's Power]. With such artillery, it proved that they mastered the technology of making artillery or were under research.

Under this situation, Liu Cheng asked them for artillery talents for only two purposes. The first is technical blockade, so that they could not make artillery in the Ming Dynasty, or they wanted to pull their people into artillery research.

No matter which possibility these two types are an opportunity for Minghuang.

If you make good use of it, you may be able to master the artillery technology.
