Chapter 53: Blood and Fire
About noon, Guan Yu's reply arrived in Jiangling.
At this time, Huang Quan had personally supervised the relocation of 5,000 troops to Micheng, and there were still 10,000 troops left in the old city of Jiangling.
Mi Fang was frightened in her heart, and was about to discuss with Yu Ban, not wanting Tian Xin to send Pang Lin to the county guard mansion to ask for Yu Ban and other generals.
Mi Fang was even more anxious, and saw that she couldn't shirk it, so she went to the door in person, with a gloomy face: "This official invited them as guests, why did he force them?" The winter clothes and fabrics required before and after have been distributed, Tian Xiaoxian is so aggressive, is it a bit too much? ”
Pang Lin didn't know, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his eyebrows were soft and gentle as before: "Mi Fujun, General Tian said that Yu was a prisoner, not a general, nor a guest. Yesterday, the prince of the palace invited the envoy of the Marquis of Wu, and he was afraid of the face of the prince of the palace, so he allowed everyone to leave the camp. Now the envoy of the Marquis of Wu traveled west, and asked the prince to send it to the forbidden people. ”
As Pang Tong's younger brother, Pang Lin's influence in Jingzhou is no less than that of Mi Fang.
"If I don't give it, what will he do?"
Mi Fang flicked her sleeves and turned around angrily, her chin raised: "Milky child, dare to take it big in front of the old man?" ”
Pang Lin sighed: "Fujun, General Tian will do what he says. The lower officials returned empty-handed, and General Tian will lead the athletes to ask for it. When the time comes, both sides will lose. ”
Mi Fang didn't look back: "Let him come, the king handed over Jiangling to me, are you still afraid of him?" ”
"The prince of the government thinks about it, and the official resigns."
Pang Lin returned to the military camp in the city, Tian Xin had finished bathing, wearing a brightly embroidered Shu brocade red robe, standing in front of the door with his arms outstretched, and the soldiers on the left and right were wearing iron basin collar armor for him.
This set of iron collar armor has been rebuilt, and the broken armor pieces have been replaced, and the armor pieces have been painted black and rearranged with red lines.
The red robe and black armor, the color is contrasting, and Tian Xin's bearing looks serious and cold.
Seeing Mi Fang's refusal, Tian Xin was already sure, but said to Pang Lin: "Pang joins the army later, you can take my letter and submit it to the left guard." ”
In the county guard's mansion, Mi Fang and Yu Ban sat together, and a black-clothed official leaned to the side: "Mansion Jun, everyone can testify at that time." General Tian is indeed harmful to the general, and he takes blood to refine the words of the divine soldiers. ”
Waving off the little official, Mi Fang said: "This shaft grew up in Hanzhong, but he didn't succeed in learning the evil art of rice thieves?" ”
Yu Ban's words were conclusive: "The rice thief is good at demagoguery, and I haven't seen any miracle in Zhang Lu." ”
After Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, he was named the Marquis of Langzhong, ate 10,000 households, and worshiped General Zhennan; His younger brother Zhang Wei was the general of Zhaoyi, and Zhang Wei resigned on the grounds of devout seeking Taoism; Another brother, Zhang puppet official Nanyang Taishou, also devoted himself to cultivation and resigned.
But within a year, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei have contributed to the country and have all flown to the heavenly realm; Zhang Puppet was soon supported by the two brothers, and he ascended to immortality in the daytime.
The three foreign armies adapted from Zhang Lu's Hanzhong Army also disappeared on the battlefield of Xiangfan with the defeat of Yu Ban and Pang De.
But Mi Fang still hesitated: "If you see the traces of the real dragon, if the real dragon picture you make is there, you must guard against it." ”
Yu Ban silently, thinking carefully about Tian Xin, Tian Xin does have an indescribable dust-free temperament, which is different from ordinary people.
Tian Xin really wants to kill himself and use his own blood to refine weapons?
There was no fear in his heart at this moment, Yu Ban was a little puzzled, and explained: "Mi Jun, Tian Xiaoxian is alert, I'm afraid I will be aware. He spread this with the intention of temptation. The old man returned to the camp to see what he wanted. ”
"With the benevolence of the King of Han and the strict governance of the Marquis of Guan, I expect that Tian Xiaoxian will only dare to deceive me with deceitful words, and will never dare to use torture, let alone kill."
Yu Ban said: "The matter is imminent, I have the king's handwritten letter, just to show the right and left." In this way, the military heart can be gathered, and it can help Mi Jun. ”
"That'...... Please, general. ”
Mi Fang wanted to speak and stopped, Yu Ban's face showed a look of anticipation, but Mi Fang still sat down and stopped talking, Yu Ban got up and saluted, and went to change into a silk robe.
And Cao Cao's handwritten silk book was hurriedly sewn by him into the mezzanine of the linen robe.
In the afternoon, Yu Ban and a group of generals who had eaten and drunk enough to live a good day returned to the barracks, and there was a feeling of being separated from the world.
When Yu Ban arrived at the barracks, Tian Xin's protector Luo Qiong had just returned from Micheng and was gathering the women around the barracks and entrusting them to sew winter clothes.
Almost all of these women are family members of front-line soldiers, and they know how to sew winter clothes.
Yu Ban stopped to watch, and saw that these more than 200 women were cutting and sewing winter clothes in the barracks and school yards, using a lot of materials, almost sewing a collar winter coat from two horses of coarse silk as the standard, such a set of winter clothes has five layers of silk, no need to fill silk, cotton or reed wadding, and also has a good warmth effect.
The five-layer coarse silk, counting the inner and middle clothes, may be able to cover the arrows.
While he was watching, Tian Xin's bright red robe strode over, and he smiled at Yu Ban and arched his hand: "The old general's face is ruddy, why don't you stay at Mifujun for a few more days?" ”
"I heard that the little general wanted to take a certain blood to wash the blade, but I didn't dare not come."
"This joke can't be taken seriously."
Tian Xin stretched out his arms as he spoke, led Yu Ban to the barracks on one side, and said as he walked: "But when my weapon is first completed, I can drink the blood of the old general, and it will definitely go down in history and lead future generations to discuss." ”
"The little general doesn't have to say anything terrifying, he really needs to be honest with the old and decayed blood."
Yu Ban sat down, puzzled: "The little general has tried repeatedly, what do you want?" ”
Tian Xin also sat down and said: "The old general has been fighting the world for more than 30 years, and it can be said that he has won the mechanism of the war, and it can also be said that he is quite favored by the master of the army. If the divine soldiers I have created are tempered with the water of mountains and rivers, and the blood of cattle, horses, and dragons, they will eventually be a bit vulgar. If you take the blood of the favored by the lord of the army, this thing will become a cadre and a stream. ”
Yu Ban's face stiffened: "The little general is also a general in the army, don't you know that human blood is no different from beast blood?" ”
"Old general, the person who survived a hundred battles, his blood is really the same as that of ordinary people?"
Tian Xin asked seriously, and said: "I don't need much, out of two thousand, I only take one urn." ”
Even Yu Ban frowned and thought about this matter, is a veteran like himself really different from ordinary people?
So so many warlike, brave, and intelligent people have died, but they have survived to this point?
Is it really because the soldier master Chiyou is sheltered and favored?
It's definitely fake.
At dusk, two thousand military officials donated an urn of blood, and all the military officials above the rank of military marquis were forced to bleed, and now they all bandaged the wounds on the palm of their right hands, and hid in the barracks to avoid the wind like arrows.
When the blood of this urn was carried to the blacksmith's workshop, it was already about to solidify, and Tian Xin, who did not know how to quench metal, added more than ten kinds of crushed salt, sulfur, powder, black charcoal powder, arsenic, and mercury to the black pottery urn, and stirred it repeatedly into a black paste.
The soldiers and soldiers under his command rushed to watch, and even Mi Fang couldn't suppress his curiosity and came to watch.
In this era when daily entertainment mainly relies on rumors and legends, everyone likes to make a difference.
The orange fire snake in the molten iron furnace snorted and screamed, and Fang Tian's halberd had burned orange.
Tian Xin looked up at the sky from time to time, and only when he saw that the sky showed a crescent outline, he said, "Quench!" ”
Only then did the craftsman carefully clip out the orange Fang Tian Halberd, and when he saw the magnificent, symmetrical and square shape of the Fang Tian Halberd, he was amazed by the magnificence, symmetry and squareness.
Mi Fang faintly felt suffocated, and then saw that the orange Fang Tian Halberd was submerged in the black paste, and a choking stench permeated.
The smell is not unfamiliar, as if war.
It is the burnt smell of blood, fire, and iron.
Extra refreshing.
