The two of them walked and talked, and as they spoke, they had already reached the workshop area of Curie Pass, which was heavily guarded, a closed area, with a wooden fence to distinguish them from the rest of the place, and guards with spears stood at the door, and a group of soldiers were stationed inside to protect the safety of this area. Bai Yucheng has been in Curie Pass for a long time, and other places can pass freely, but only this area, he has never been here.

"If you go this time, there is a great possibility that you will have to face the standing army of Zhao State, the standing army of Zhao State is still very competitive, and their cavalry is not bad, haven't you considered putting armor on your soldiers? The standing army of Zhao State is all armored, whether it is infantry or cavalry, against them, your soldiers have no armor, and they will suffer a lot."

"Armor?" Gao Yuan laughed, "Do you think I have this strength?" I have the money, why don't I get two more knives and more arrows? I've done my best to give every piece of leather armor to the big guy."

"That's right, in fact, in addition to their standing armies, other armies of various countries don't have the money to equip them at all, and your troops are pretty good." Bai Yucheng nodded and said, "However, after wearing armor, the battle loss rate of the troops will indeed be greatly reduced."

"In the future, when I have the money, I will definitely put armor on the soldiers."

The two walked into a workshop at random, and heard a clanging sound at the door, as soon as they stepped into the door, a hot air came to their faces, even if it was cold outside, the heat wave was still rolling inside, more than a dozen men in the house were naked, still sweating, some people were dancing hammers, beating the red-hot iron bars on the iron felt, and some were desperately pulling the huge bellows, and when they saw Gao Yuan coming in, everyone was respectfully bent down to salute.

"Hello county lieutenant!"

Gao Yuan waved his hand, "You guys are busy with you, don't worry about me, I'll just take a look."

Bai Yucheng walked to the corner of the house, where there was a batch of steel knives that had passed the pure fire, picked one up casually, looked carefully, the fine lines on the knife body made him a little surprised, put down the knife in his hand, and lifted another handle, the same, look at a few more, the handle is the same, "Master Gao, you craftsmen are very attentive, the quality of these knives is quite good. After the attack, I am afraid that the ordinary armor will not be able to resist its slash."

More than a dozen craftsmen in the room heard Bai Yucheng's praise, although they didn't speak, but they all showed a smug look in their eyes, these knives, they were really doing it with their hearts. The leader smiled honestly, "Lord Gao is our benefactor of Fufeng, with Master Gao, we Fufeng people are no longer worried about the attack of the Donghu people, besides, the salary given by Lord Gao is also the first share, and if we don't have to do it, then we are still human." He smiled and bent down to pick up some black stones and threw them into the stove, and as the bellows pulled, the black stones suddenly burst into a faint blue flame.

"It's coal!" Bai Yucheng's attention was on the knife before, but he didn't pay attention to what was burning in the stove, but when he saw the foreman's movements, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Master Gao, this thing is poisonous, it can't be used, it will kill people."

Gao Yuan smiled, "It's poisonous, but as long as you keep it well ventilated, you'll be fine."

The foreman continued: "At first, we didn't dare to use it, but Master Gao personally used this thing to burn the fire, and it was okay to stay in it all night, and we dared to use it again, not to mention, this thing has much more firepower than wood, and it has been burned a lot. We can beat the knife to this level, and this thing is also a great achievement, saving us a lot of effort, oh, Master Gao called him coal."

"There are so many of these things near Curie Pass, and it's easy to get them, and it's more convenient than chopping firewood." Gao Yuan smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, when this battle is over, when the idea is to get out of coking coal, using coking coal as fuel, you can make better steel, and now this most primitive method, there are still too many impurities in the knife, and the flexibility is far from enough.

In the era of cold weapons, a good knife is the second life of a soldier.

Looking at this strangely shaped knife, Bai Yucheng waved it casually, "If the foot soldiers have one hand, even in the face of the cavalry, they will have the strength to fight, and a person with enough strength can swing this kind of knife, even the horse's head may be able to cut off."

"It's not the knife that matters, it's the courage to face the enemy. Let's go, let's go look elsewhere!" Gao Yuan smiled and walked out.

"Tall man, walk slowly!" Behind him, the voices of blacksmiths were heard.

Gao Yuan reached behind him and shook it.

Bai Yucheng walked and looked at it as he walked with Gao Yuan, along the way, there were about a dozen blacksmith workshops like this, and there were more than ten people in each of them, if everyone could produce a knife a day, then at the end of the day, Curie Guan would be able to produce more than 100 good knives of such high quality, this speed is very good.

"Let's go, let's go to the treasury to see, where Tiancheng is taking inventory, this time the soldiers who followed me on the expedition will change their new clothes, and the weapons produced in Curie Pass recently are of much better quality than before." Gao Yuandao.

"Take all the veterans with you?" Bai Yucheng asked, this time Gao Yuan is out of the road, there are many dangers, so naturally he has to bring experienced veterans to go.

"Old six, new four!" Gao Yuan made a gesture, "I also have to guard against the Donghu people here!" Recruits also need to go through some battle formations to hone their skills."

"Your heart is so wide!" Bai Yucheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, at this juncture, Gao Yuan still thinks so far, whether he can come back alive or not is still a matter of whether he can come back alive, he is still thinking about training a group of elite soldiers to come out.

The storehouse was very large, much more elaborate than the simplicity of the workshop, and a thick layer of wood was laid on the ground, and a felt blanket was laid on top of it to prevent the new weapons from being corroded. A handle over the front of the knife neatly stacked together, the cold light is pressing, compared to the knife in the workshop, the knife here looks much better, after the front, the black knife back, the snow blade, reflect each other, make people daunting, the handle of the knife is inlaid with a wooden handle, and then wrapped with fine twine, such a handle, both easy to hold and easy to force, and absorb sweat, it can be seen that the workers here are indeed very attentive, these twine are wrapped very tightly.

Cao Tiancheng was directing the soldiers to load these knives into the carriage parked outside, holding a pen in one hand and a book in the other, writing and drawing on it from time to time, and when he saw Gao Yuan coming in, he only bowed slightly.

"Is this the arm crossbow you gave me?" A weapon in the warehouse attracted Bai Yucheng's attention, walked over, and picked up one, "Hey, it's a little lighter than last time!"

"It's lighter, the last time we went out, it was still the first batch of finished products, after several months of research and improvement, the weight of this arm crossbow has been reduced by a few catties, and the soldiers don't have to work hard to use it." Gao Yuandao, although it only reduces some weight, but for soldiers on the battlefield, its significance is naturally self-evident.

"This thing is good!" Bai Yucheng raised his arm and stretched his crossbow and looked at it carefully, "If it wasn't for this thing you gave me last time, I wouldn't have been able to escape from you. Unfortunately, after that battle, most of the armblages were lost."

"Tiancheng! Come here!" Gao Yuan opened his mouth to summon Cao Tiancheng and said to him: "When Brother Bai's brothers are well injured, re-equip them with a batch of new weapons, and we here, as long as Brother Bai sees it, we can equip his brothers."

Cao Tiancheng sighed and glanced at Bai Yucheng.

"What's so embarrassing!" Bai Yucheng was very excited, there are indeed a lot of good things here, "This kind of knife is not suitable for us, can you customize a batch for me?" He looked at Gao Yuan with some apprehension, and he also felt that this request was a bit excessive.

"No problem!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Tiancheng, write it down, go back and let Brother Bai tell you their requirements, and you can tell the masters again. Brother Bai, are you going to do this crossbow?"

"Of course, of course, but I'm a little embarrassed to open my mouth." Bai Yucheng didn't care about his face, he relied on this thing to escape with his life, and he naturally understood the power of this thing clearly.

"Tiancheng, remember, and I will match it for the white brothers in the future." Gao Yuan casually said to Cao Tiancheng, and he didn't look at Cao Tiancheng's bitter melon-like face.

"How can I thank you for this, I'm a non-writer now!" Bai Yucheng's face was full of embarrassment.

"Brother Bai, didn't you promise me that after I left, if it was difficult to help the wind, you would definitely lend a hand?" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "This is the salary I paid you."

"But it's too heavy, and Fufeng doesn't have to be fine!" White Feather Enlightenment.

Cao Tiancheng quietly touched it and stood behind the two of them, "Master Bai, if you are really embarrassed, I have an errand here, I don't know if you are willing to do it?"

"Do it, why not do it!" Bai Yucheng said without hesitation, these days, he has taken hundreds of people to eat and drink in Curie Pass, Gao Yuan also invited a doctor to live in Curie Pass, specifically to treat their injuries, and now he has promised to re-equip them with the best weapons.

"We now have a lot of caravans going to and from the Xiongnu, Donghu and Lushang in two directions, but these two directions are not all peaceful, if Bai Da is interested, I don't know if Lu Dao is willing to give us as a guard?" Cao Tiancheng looked at Bai Yucheng and said with a smile.

"Which side of Donghu, I'm afraid I won't be able to go, the people of Donghu hate me to the bone, and it's bad to go, but on the side of the Huns, there is no problem." Bai Yucheng groaned.

"That's great!" Cao Tiancheng said happily: "Take the line of the Huns, Bai Da is in charge, you don't know the way, some Hun tribes are so poor that they croak, sometimes they will beat our ideas, there used to be Helanxiong's kid to follow, now Helanxiong is gone, I really can't rest assured, I can have you Bai Da Master to follow, I dare to send a caravan again."

Looking at Bai Yucheng's appearance, Gao Yuan smiled with satisfaction, he cast the bait, Bai Yucheng has slowly swallowed it one bite at a time, it seems that it won't take long to bring this guy under his command, Bai Yucheng is a character, but he and his subordinates are some loose and unruly people, incompatible with the style and rules of the army, he is now Cao Tiancheng and the two of them sang and joined together, lured them into the shearwater, so that he could cooperate with the people who helped the wind, little by little to grind away their wildness, over time, it will naturally come to fruition. This is Gao Yuan's little caution, seeing Bai Yucheng such a fierce general, how could he let it go easily, Gao Yuan at the moment, there is really a shortage of talents at hand. (To be continued.)
