Chapter 10: Dian Wei's Weapons
In Zhang Guang's courtyard, a lot of tents have been set up, and the open space is the training ground, and nearly 1,000 cavalrymen, under the leadership of the three squad leaders, are training in full swing.
As soon as Dian Wei entered the courtyard, he was blinded by the scene in front of him.
Or is it the Three Kingdoms, which mainly focus on individual combat capabilities and have extensive combat methods, where have they ever seen such a systematic training method?
There are three teams, one team for obstacle runs, two teams for sprinting on training horses, and three teams for training various combat formations.
The key is that when nearly a thousand cavalry were training, when they were outside, they couldn't hear much sound, and after Dian Wei looked at it carefully, he found that all the horses were wrapped in cloth.
"Big brother, you have so many warriors here, aren't you afraid that Cao Cao will find out, and suddenly rush in to catch turtles in an urn?"
"Dian Wei, look up!"
Dian Wei Yiyan, looking up, when he just came in from the outside, he didn't see anything at all, and he was not blocked, and he was surprised at this look.
In various hidden places on the courtyard wall, there were warriors in light and vigorous suits.
"Those people are all selected warriors with strong martial arts and flexible brains, and it is difficult for Xiao Xiao to get close to this mansion."
In fact, not only that, but there are also many soldiers patrolling the streets around the yard disguised as vagabonds and traders.
Zhang Guang knew Cao Cao's character, and he was now recruiting troops and training his army under his nose.
Zhang Guangfang's return of those Jiangdong cavalry who did not wholeheartedly follow him was also motivated by such considerations.
Cao Cao already knew that Zhang Guang had flickered three thousand cavalry from Sun Jian, and he would definitely pay attention.
After discovering that Zhang Guang had let most of the cavalry leave, Cao Cao would feel that Zhang Guang probably only wanted to have a military force to protect him, and did not have any major plans, so he would not regard Zhang Guang as a real enemy.
Coupled with Zhang Guang's unconventional strategy in the war against Dong Zhuo by the princes of the Eighteen Towns, Cao Cao would not easily attack Zhang Guang until he confirmed whether Zhang Guang was willing to assist him Cao Cao.
Moreover, Zhang Guang, who is proficient in the large and small battle formations of the armies of various dynasties in history, at the same time, has left a lot of back-ups, as long as he is not caught off guard, Zhang Guang is sure to escape from Chen Liucheng.
"Dian Wei, do you want to try it?"
Zhang Guang noticed that Dian Wei had been watching the fighters who were doing obstacle courses and encouraged him to go up and try it too.
Zhang Guang personally went into battle, rehearsed an obstacle run for Dian Wei, and pointed out the places he needed to pay attention to.
Dian Wei looked tall and rugged, but his body was very agile, and his first obstacle run was much better than when many fighters ran for the first time.
Allowing Dian Wei and a team of soldiers to train together, Zhang Guang gathered the three captains, each of them sent a drawing, instructed a lot of precautions, and then selected a noodle restaurant who could cook noodles to manage the noodle restaurant for a period of time.
"Dian Wei, are you addicted to practice?"
Seeing Zhang Guang and the three captains out of the house, Dian Wei quit training and ran up, sweating all over.
"Big brother, your training method is cool, I used to be a general under Zhang Miao, training, is to fight with others, alas, it is a big summer, and few people can sweat me, you see, today, I have only been training for a while, it is sweaty, cool!"
"General Dian, wipe your sweat!"
A soldier recognized Zhang Miao's former subordinate Dian Wei, and handed him a sweat towel, Dian Wei sweated, and hung the big knife under a tree on his waist.
"Dian Wei, let's go, take you to meet someone, this training, when you come back, you can practice as you like!"
Zhang Guang in Dian Wei's eyes is becoming more and more magical, Zhang Guang said to go, and he followed without asking where to go.
"Dian Wei, have you thought about what kind of weapon you want to build for yourself?"
"Weapons? Big brother, do you really want to build a weapon for me? However, it is difficult to find iron in Chenliu City today, how to build it? ”
"This, then think of a way, there will always be a way!"
"If the eldest brother can really get iron, I want to build a powerful sword, not to mention that it can be compared to Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd, at least it will be very powerful in my hand!"
"Okay, I'll get you two powerful jians then, my little brother, how can you only have one, you have to have two!"
What Zhang Guang said made Dian Wei's heart warm, Zhang Miao and others, who would care if their subordinates had any weapons at hand?
Zhang Guang knew that Dian Wei's famous weapon was a double iron sword, and he was going to find a good piece of fine iron to create a pair of weapons for Dian Wei.
Zhang Guang took Dian Wei to the blacksmith shop of the old blacksmith Yan, who was sitting in the shop and doing nothing.
No matter how good the old blacksmith's craftsmanship is, without iron, he can't do any iron work.
"Old Yan, this is my little brother, Dian Wei, I want to build a pair of iron swords!"
Zhang Guang knew that Old Blacksmith Yan was also a person who liked to go straight, so he didn't say much about it, and directly explained his intentions.
Old Blacksmith Yan squinted his eyes and looked Dian Wei up and down for a long time.
"Well, the double iron halberd, it is indeed suitable for you, the key to the problem is that there is no iron now!"
"Old Yan, do you have any news where I can get the good fine iron? No matter how far away, I can give it a try! ”
"Okay, since Zhang Guang you have such determination, it proves that Dian Wei is also an important brother to you, this place is nearly a thousand miles to the south, on the boundary of Jingzhou, there is a mountain, shaped like a huge carved bow, named White Pheasant Mountain."
"White Pheasant Mountain, it is Dongfang Mountain, between the two mountains, there have been a lot of high-quality fine iron, you can go there to try!"
Oriental Mountain? Located in Wuchang County, Zhang Guang knew that it was still the territory of Mu Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and later became the front line of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu against Cao Wei.
Between Dongfang Mountain and Baizhi Mountain, there is the Daye Iron Mine, which has the longest history of mining later, and good refined iron can be found there, very likely.
Speaking of Jingzhou, Zhang Guang thought of one of the most famous advisors during the Three Kingdoms period, maybe he could try to see if there was that chance between himself and him.
"Thank you Yan Lao for your advice, Dian Wei, let's go, go south to Jingzhou!"
"Big brother, are you really going? Too far, right? It's not worth it to find a piece of fine iron to build a weapon for me! ”
"It's worth it, it's worth it, and besides, I have other things to do, anyway, I've arranged everything here, so let's go, by the way, I'm going to get you a good horse first!"
"No need, big brother, I don't like horseback riding, running down in a day, as long as there is food and my stomach is not hungry, I will run four or five hundred miles, no problem!"
Zhang Guang knew that Hu Che'er in the Three Kingdoms period could run 700 miles a day, but he didn't expect Dian Wei to be able to run 500 miles, but he didn't know if his skinny horse could travel 500 miles a day.
Zhang Guang rode a thin horse and left with Dian Wei.
"Zhang Guang, call me the old blacksmith in the future!" Old Blacksmith Yan shouted from behind.
"Okay!"
