Chapter XVII: Weapons of All Kinds
Looking at the word "Yan" on the silk cloth, Zhang Guang had to admire Cao Cao's good handwriting.
"Zhang Daxian, how to interpret this word?"
Zhang Guang didn't talk, pretended to be pretending, pinched his fingers and calculated, and only spoke leisurely for a long time.
"Xiaoman, your General Cao's heart is not small!"
"How?"
"He wants to replace Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and take charge of Yanzhou!"
"What is the best way for Daxian?"
"Well, let me think about it!"
Zhang Guang dipped his fingers in wine and drew a rough map of Yanzhou on the stone table.
"If you want to take Yanzhou, the key is that Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, has the identity of the Han family, and he cannot directly replace him."
"What if it's someone else's hand?"
"Now Dongjun, Qingzhou and other places are still the world of the Yellow Turban Army, and the reason why everything is peaceful is because Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Liu Dai all have their own plans, and they don't plan to be the first bird to fight against the Yellow Turban Army!"
In that case, why didn't Cao Cao make a "-stirring stick"? Lead the troops to the north and attack the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army such as Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zhenggu? ”
"In this way, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others not only can't say anything about Cao Cao, but also have to vigorously advocate Cao Cao's exploits!"
"And the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun are attacked, and they will definitely go east to Qingzhou and form a unit with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army!"
"At that time, the situation around Yanzhou will definitely be chaotic, and Cao Cao will be able to make a difference!"
After listening to Zhang Guang's words, Cao Cao first buried his head in thought, and then clapped his hands and shouted: "Wonderful, really wonderful, if I could have thought of these earlier, General Cao would have promoted me to be a general, farewell, Zhang Daxian!"
As soon as Cao Cao returned home, he summoned Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian and other generals, and made arrangements to go north to attack the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun.
"Li Dian, this time you go north, you stay in Chenliu!"
"Why, General Cao, I, Li Dianxi, charged into battle, why did you want to keep me stationed in Chenliu?"
"For Zhang Guang's sake! You remember, no matter what, you can't let Zhang Guang leave Chen Liucheng anymore, if he wants to lead his hundreds of people to leave, it will be a pile of people, and he will be piled up to die in Chen Liucheng! ”
"Big brother, Mr. Zhang Guangyijie, is it so important?" Cao Ren was a little surprised, why did Cao Cao leave Li Dian, a fierce general, to stay in Chen for the sake of Zhang Guang alone.
"Do you know who came up with the idea of going north to attack the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army?" Cao Cao asked.
"Isn't it you, big brother?"
"No, it's Zhang Guang! Let's go, Li Dian, if Zhang Guang leaves Chen Liucheng alive, take you and ask! ”
Cao Cao is also ruthless, he can't get Zhang Guang, and others don't want to get it, it seems that for the ministers and generals, Cao Cao still feels that the importance of the ministers is greater.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have killed Guan Yu and Zhao Yun and other generals in the future, but he couldn't tolerate Chen Gong and other advisers!
According to the agreement, Li Dian led people to transport the food and salary of 1,000 people for half a year to the gate of the courtyard, and more than ten carriages blocked the road at the gate of the courtyard.
"Listen, this is the food and salary given to Zhang Guang by General Cao of my family, open the door quickly, let us in!"
There was no need for Li Dian to shout, Pang Tong, Dian Wei and others in the house already knew that Li Dian was leading people to drive more than a dozen carriages.
"Pang Tong, Li Dian is a fierce general, what is he doing when he sends us food? Big brother didn't send a message either! It can't be a pretense of sending food and trying to attack us, right? ”
"No, Gan Ning, lead the archers to the roof, hidden in the shadows!"
After Gan Ning led everyone to ambush, Pang Tong replied: "General Li, thank you very much for General Cao's generosity, you put the food and salary on both sides of the road, and leave."
Gan Ning's slightly immature voice came out, and he noticed that Li Dian, who had been targeted by many archers, was even more curious about this large courtyard.
But before Cao Cao left, he specially told him not to stir up trouble, so he had to unload his food and salary and lead people to leave according to what Pang Tong said!
"Pang Tong, are we a little too cautious?"
"In the troubled times, it's better to be cautious, especially when dealing with Cao Cao, the eldest brother handed over this courtyard to us, and we have to guard it for the eldest brother!"
More than three months, very fast!
For more than three months, Cao Cao led Cao Ren and others to lead the army to attack the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun, and the size of his subordinate army soon exceeded 100,000.
Cao Cao, who had the strength, did not stop doing anything, and drove all the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun to Qingzhou, which made the strength of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army stationed in Qingzhou soar, with more than 500,000 troops!
After more than three months, Zhang Guang and Yan Lao's blacksmith's new weapons finally ended perfectly.
"Old blacksmith, come with me, if I find Yan Liang in the future, you can also reunite, father and son together, how good?"
"Boy, my old bones, don't worry about it, I'll die here in the future, if you really want to find a good blacksmith, go to Shaanxi County, Yongzhou in the northwest!"
"The blacksmith over there, does the old blacksmith have such exquisite skills?"
"In Longnan, Xiekou and other places, and even in Liangzhou, Jianghu and other places, there are many blacksmiths who take forging weapons as their ancestral business, which is not comparable to people like me who study halfway!"
"Thank you old blacksmith for your advice, let's go, I'll come back to you for a drink when I'm free!"
One person and one horse, the thin horse has now really grown into a brave horse, and if the people in the horse farm see it, they will not be able to recognize each other.
"Big brother, are you willing to come back? If you don't come back, we'll be ready to search for you all over the city! ”
"Big brother, I'm busy, second brother, third brother, Gan Ning, come here, take a look at the weapons made for you!"
The most conspicuous thing is Gan Ning's big bow, Gan Ning saw it at a glance, holding the bow in one hand, and he was going to pick it up to see what was the difference compared with the previous ones!
"Oops!"
The big bow didn't hold it, and almost smashed Gan Ning's own foot.
"Lord, why is it so heavy?"
"Gan Ning, in the future, you have to practice your arm strength with Dian Wei!"
He picked up the big bow on the ground, pulled out a sharp arrow from the quiver on the horse's back, and bent the bow and aimed at the arrow target in the distance.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, and the thick wooden plank arrow target was pierced by an arrow, and the sharp arrow was inserted into the earthen wall behind the arrow target.
"The bow body has been re-refined with meteoric iron, that's why it's so heavy, I see that this device that clamps the arrow is not, it is a machine made of copper, which can increase the initial velocity of the arrow!"
"You don't understand, in a word, this bow, within a mile, will not be misaligned, Gan Ning, in the next month, you will practice your arm strength until you can use this bow at will like me!"
Zhang Guang stretched out his feet and looked at Gan Ning, who was stunned in the local area, with a kick and a strong crossbow, with this surprised look?
"Third brother, this is yours, continue!"
Looking at the strange things handed over by Zhang Guang, Pang Tong didn't dare to take it.
"Big brother, I'm afraid of hitting my own feet!"
"You scholar, why am I making it so heavy? Reach over with your left hand. ”
Pang Tong stretched out his left hand and watched as Zhang Guang tied something similar to a sleeve to his arm.
Then a short arrow was loaded into one of the holes in the "sleeve".
"And voila!"
Raising Pang Tong's left arm, Zhang Guang pressed the switch on the sleeve, and a short arrow shot out at a very fast speed and nailed into the arrow target in the distance.
"This is called an arrow in the sleeve, and you can hold six short arrows at the same time, Pang Tong, practice slowly!"
"Big brother, what about mine? Won't all the fine iron they get used to make weapons for them, right? ”
"Look at my back!"
On Zhang Guang's back, in addition to his own two guns, he also carried a back bag, on which two pointed ends poked out.
The double iron sword, Dian Wei's famous weapon, was made of meteorite iron by Zhang Guang and Yan Lao's blacksmiths, a sword, weighing 100 catties.
Dian Wei took it in his hand, just took advantage of it, danced, and came out, the thick earthen wall was smashed out of a person's high hole!
