Yanyang City is in the northernmost part of Yasukuni, and the days are getting longer and longer after spring, and the days in Yanyang City in early summer are not the hottest during the day, but it is gradually a little cooler at dusk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He didn't eat lunch, and he exerted a lot of strength, and Zhan Ying was already tired and hungry at the moment. She took a few sips of the water bladder, chewed the bread quickly, wiped her lips, and continued to chisel the stone.

The quarry was quiet and empty, and she could only hear the tinkling of her chiseling stones, and the occasional flying sparks accompanied her, and she remembered that when her father returned from battle as a child, he held her on his lap and taught her the art of war

"The law of the husband and the soldier, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. Therefore, the first army is scheming, the second is the enemy, and the second is the army..."

Zhan Ying carried it in her mouth, kept chiseling in her hands, her heart ached uncontrollably, her eyes gradually blurred, she bit her lip to prevent tears from falling-

A fragile heart does nothing to help her, it only eats away at her will and makes her weaker and weaker.

Forcing the tears back into her eyes, she accelerated the stone more and more forcefully, and continued to carry it in her mouth

"Therefore, the method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five is to attack it, and the multiple is divided, the enemy can fight, if there is little, you can escape, and if you don't, you can avoid it. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured. The husband and the general, the auxiliary of the country, the auxiliary Zhou will make the country strong, and the auxiliary gap will make the country weak..."

Before she could finish reciting, she heard a footstep from far and near, she turned around vigilantly, and a dark and honest face came into view.

"Big Brother Iron Bull?"

Iron Bull smiled generously and scratched the back of his head

"I don't dare to offend Cheng San in the day, I can only tell the truth, I always feel a little sorry for you, how can you chisel out three pieces of a little girl's family, I'll help you......"

Zhan Ying was grateful

"No need Brother Tie Niu, you're already very tired during the day."

"Don't worry, only brute force, if you don't come to help you, you're listening to a group of gentlemen blowing water in the room, which is very boring."

Zhan Ying knew that Tie Niu was using such an excuse, in order not to make her feel too sorry, so she didn't have the intention to excuse herself

"In this way, I thank Brother Tie Niu, you don't need to dig the stone with your strength, you can teach me how to be faster."

Tie Niu took out his tools, pointed to the stone in front of Zhan Ying, and said, "Look, the stone also has lines, you wedge against this place, don't use strong force when swinging the hammer, just be skillful, and..."

Tie Niu told Zhan Ying the trick in detail, and Zhan Ying swung the hammer much faster.

Tie Niu also picked a stone and chiseled it, and Zhan Ying asked

"Brother Tie Niu, where are you, I see that you are skilled in hammering, you should be a skilled person, why do you work here?"

The iron bull does not slow down, swinging the hammer while walking

"It's a long story, I was originally a blacksmith in Yexian County, and I had my own blacksmith shop, although I was not rich, I could get by. In the 18th year of Emperor Hui, the Bianguo invaded, our Ye County was just behind the battlefield, the military master said that the soldiers were not enough to recruit soldiers, and the local strong men should be requisitioned, so the military food and weapons were naturally not enough, because I had skills, I did not need to be conscripted to be a strong man, but all the local blacksmith shops were assigned to complete a certain amount of weapon forging, and my shop was assigned to complete a hundred scimitars within ten days, which are said to be used to hook the legs of the horses of the Bianguo cavalry. I told Master Jun that I couldn't finish it."

Zhan Ying asked when he heard this

"Is there not enough time for a hundred scimitars?"

Iron Bull shook his head

"Ten days and 100 handfuls, it can be completed every day, but the difficulty is that there is not enough iron. The military master gave us a certain amount of silver as a reward and asked us to buy iron ore. However, at that time, the two countries were at war, and Yao's iron ore could not be transported in, and the country's iron ore production was already small, and the price of this iron ore had risen several times, not to mention, even if there was money, it could not be bought. If it is a spear, the spear and so on are good, and there is not much iron, and this scimitar has to be made of iron except for the handle of the hand. ”

The Iron Bull turned the stone over and continued to chisel as he spoke

"The blacksmiths of several blacksmiths in our county that I know have all packed up and run away overnight, I know that if I stay in Ye County and can't hand over the scimitar after ten days, even if I don't die, I will be punished, so I took my mother and fled overnight, on the way my poor mother died, but she couldn't return to her roots,"

Iron Bull said that this was a little sad.

"I fled all the way west to here, and soon the entanglement ran out, I wanted to find some work to do first, and then regain my iron-making skills to open a shop, I have no special skills, but brute strength has, the quarry pays the highest in this fortification, and I don't have money to do it, I can't find an easy job."

Zhan Ying was a little hesitant after hearing this, he had heard his father and brother talk about the disadvantages of conscription and food in this place, but it was far from being as real and intuitive as hearing the bitter lord appear and say. She knew that the war was lost, and in the end, she lost countless gold, silver, and livestock to keep the city. In this way, the disadvantages of this system are not only the loss of the war, but also the loss of population and the loss of people's hearts, and such a system should and must be abolished.

No one could have predicted that tonight's seemingly casual gossip would have a profound impact on Zhan Ying, and the armament reform she carried out many years later completely eliminated the drawbacks of this military strategy.

Zhan Ying saw that Tie Niu was depressed, so he deliberately changed the topic. She laughs

"I heard that there is an interesting custom in Yunzhou, where your industry is located, women can use embroidered shoes to throw their fancy men on the day of the Qixi Festival, after hitting the man, if the man also intends to put the embroidered shoes into his arms, and soon hold the embroidered shoes to the door to propose, but there is such a thing?"

Speaking of interesting things in his hometown, Tie Niu swept away the gloom and chatted with Zhan Ying.

Zhan Ying likes to listen to strange stories from all over the world, so he told the anecdotes of Yunzhou with Tie Niu, and time flies in the conversation and laughter, Tie Niu first chiseled a piece of ashlar, and then helped Zhan Ying to complete her piece, at this time it was already the middle of the moon, the temperature was already very low, Zhan Ying trembled, she stomped her foot and said, "Brother Tie Niu, thank you today, let's hurry back to the camp"

The two deliberately walked separately near the camp, fearing that Cheng San would know that Tie Niu would be involved, so Zhan Ying let Tie Niu enter the camp first and she took the wrong way to her residence. On the first day of service, he was tired, sleepy, hungry and full of injuries, Zhan Ying himself was a little surprised that he could persevere, it seems that a person's potential ability is huge.

As she thought so, she quickened her way when a figure sprang out of the spurs in the darkness in front of her.
