    After talking for a long time, it was a bit abrupt and confusing. Feng Shicai also came to his senses. After sorting out his thoughts, he explained to Chen Wanrong: "Shopkeeper Chen doesn't know something. My boss has some acquaintances in the Ministry of War. After returning to Chang'an,  I sent some alcohol to the Ministry of War. Unexpectedly, this afternoon, the Ministry of War issued a letter, asking us to send three thousand kilograms of alcohol within five days, saying it was for trial. Shopkeeper Chen, think about it, the things from the imperial court are not good to begin with.  It's in arrears, not to mention that this is what the Ministry of War wants. If there is any delay, it will be punishable by military law. The boss wants me to come and give a message to shopkeeper Chen to see if it can be done quickly. "

    Gao Qingtai is familiar with the situation here. He knows that the production of alcohol is very difficult. There is only one pot and one stove. If he does not inform him in advance, it will definitely be too late and something big will happen.

    Chen Wanrong was naturally grateful for his kindness, but Chen Wanrong still had a question: "Mr. Feng, no matter how good the alcohol is, the Ministry of War should try it before making any decisions. How come it is available in such a short time?"  Woolen cloth?"

    The purchase of alcohol by the Ministry of War is both exciting and curious.  Military supplies must undergo strict review before they can be purchased. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but be curious about placing an order in such a short time.

    Feng Shicai couldn't explain this either. He thought about it and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, how can I explain this clearly? Alcohol is indeed a good thing, and it only takes a day or two for the big pharmacies in Chang'an to buy it. I think  , the Ministry of War must have tried it, and the effect is good, so it wants so much."

    He was a commoner, and it was normal for him not to know about major military events. However, Chen Wanrong thought that Wang Shaohua hurried back to Chang'an, and something big must have happened in the court, and maybe it had something to do with it, so he asked: "Mr. Feng, you are coming from Chang'an.  Did something big happen in Chang'an? Is there anything unusual?" People leave traces when they pass by, and geese leave seals when they pass by. If something big happens in the court, there will always be some clues that can be detected.

    Feng Shicai thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Shopkeeper Chen, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten it. From today on, patrols in Chang'an have been intensified. Something big must have happened in the DPRK."

    Sure enough, something happened in Chang'an. As for what it was and what the common people could know, Chen Wanrong was about to end the conversation when Feng Shicai said angrily: "Shopkeeper Chen, I heard that we are going to attack Shibao City! Shibao City!"  Fort City was originally a Chinese land, but it was occupied by Tibet and has not been recaptured for decades, which is really annoying!"

    "Shibao City?" Chen Wanrong didn't know where Shibao City was, which made Feng Shicai so angry.

    Feng Shicai stared at Chen Wanrong with wide eyes and asked strangely: "Shopkeeper Chen, you don't know about Shibao City?" It was as if he didn't know that Shibao City had committed a huge crime.

    Looking at his expression, Shibao City should be very famous. If he said he didn't know, he would be even more surprised. Chen Wanrong had to lie: "I've heard of it, but I'm not sure. If Mr. Feng knows, please tell me.  Grateful."

    Feng Shicai then thought about it. Chen Wanrong was born in the country. It was normal for him not to know about Shibao City. He nodded and said, "I have heard people say that, but I have never been there. Please forgive me if I am wrong."

    After a pause, he gathered his thoughts, and then slowly said: "Shibao City is not big, about the size of a palm, but it is located in a strategic location, which has been fought over by military strategists since ancient times. In the five years since the great cause of the previous dynasty, Emperor Yang  He personally conquered Tuyuhun and built this city. The Shibao City is located thirty miles east of Chiling. It is built on a square platform half a mile above the ground. It is an important place to rush into. It is dangerous on three sides and has only one winding stone step.  And go up. If there is a war here, one man will guard the gate and ten thousand men will not be able to open it. Since the time of Emperor Gaozong, the Tibetans occupied it after destroying Tuyuhun, and it has been occupied until today." This is also a must-pass place for the "Southern Silk Road", so it is also  It has extremely important economic value.

    Stone Castle is a triangular square platform with a front face more than 100 meters wide and two sides 90 meters wide. The entire area is only over 5,000 square meters.  It is built according to the mountain and is made of long stones, which is very strong.

    Shi Wansui, a famous general who followed the dynasty and was also a poet, wrote in his "Shicheng Poetry": "Who opened the stone city gate? Genggu mistakenly heard that the wind was falling and the stone fell. The white ridge in the sky is better than the golden soup, and half of the southwestern sky is suppressed." This is a good saying.  The danger and strategic value of Stone Castle were revealed.

    "Shibao City is extremely important. Since the Tubo occupation, the land of Hehuang and Longyou in the Tang Dynasty have been divided into two, and each has no jurisdiction." Feng Shicai said angrily: "But the Tubo took advantage of the convenience of Shibao City, from  Troops were sent here to attack the land on the right side of Huanglong River on the Datang River. The harassment was endless and the border people suffered terribly."

    It turned out to be a strategic key. No wonder he was so angry. Chen Wanrong asked: "Since it is so important, why doesn't the court get it back?"

    "It's fine if you don't listen to this. After hearing this, Feng Shicai was so angry that his beard stood tall: "Shopkeeper Chen, you don't know something. It's not that the court doesn't want to get it back, it's that it can't get it back."Square.

    When I arrived at the wine shop, I saw Sun Zhengping and his wife working with their hands, and everyone was so busy that they were sweating.  Mrs. Sun's sharp eyes saw Chen Wanrong coming, and she hurriedly touched Sun Zhengping: "My boss is here!" There was surprise in her words.

    When Sun Zhengping heard this, he was extremely happy and rushed to greet him. He shouted from a distance: "Master, you are finally here!" Chen Wanrong was very kind to their family. He liked it from the bottom of his heart and smiled so much that no wrinkles were visible.  .

    Mrs. Sun was not to be outdone. She wiped her hands and said with a smile, "I've met my boss!"

    Chen Wanrong could understand their mood, but now he had to seize the time to get down to business: "Shopkeeper Sun, tell them to stop and stop making wine today. Let's build the stove first and prepare it. We will make alcohol tomorrow. This is the Ministry of War.  If you want it, you can¡¯t afford it.¡±

    In order to prevent them from asking further questions, Chen Wanrong finished the question in one breath.  However, Chen Wanrong's efforts were in vain. Sun Zhengping and others were stunned when they heard this. They stared at Chen Wanrong stupidly without saying anything.

    "What's wrong with you?" Chen Wanrong couldn't help but be surprised (To be continued, if you want to know what happened, please log on to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!) (Remember the website address of this website  £ºwww.hlnovel.com
