Guan Yu snorted and stroked his beard, the glaive knife in his hand turned an angle, the blade reflected a cold light, and he squinted at Zhao Yi. If Zhao Yi's request was excessive, Guan Yu would probably cut off Zhao Yi's head with one sword.

"Brother Yide, don't be annoyed, I don't want money when I come, and I don't want to surrender troops when I come." It's terrible to annoy these two tiger generals, Zhao Yi waved his hand to explain.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang's faces became a little better, staring at Zhao Yi and waiting for the next step.

Zhao Yi pointed to the armor on the corpses on the ground and said, "I just want the armor on these corpses and the weapons in my hands." ”

Liu Bei showed a relaxed expression on his face: "I thought that Brother Bolai wanted rare things, but these are just these things, so I will let my soldiers help." ”

Zhang Fei went down and ordered the soldiers to load the armor, while Liu Bei invited Zhao Yi to the county government and held a banquet to thank Zhao Yi for his help.

County Chengyu Wenke praised Zhao Yi very much: "If it weren't for Lord Zhao's resourcefulness and Yun Chang's martial arts, my Anxi County would be in danger!" ”

"Brother Bolai, the two counties of you and me are not more than a hundred miles apart, so you should move around more often. In the event of an attack by a strong enemy, our two counties can help each other. "Although Zhao Yi was invited to come this time, although he gave a lot of food, the results he got were very good. I tasted the sweetness this time, and I will naturally not let go of the opportunity in the future.

Zhao Yi nodded: "What Brother Xuande said is extremely true. You are like horns to each other, and your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. I will not stand idly by when a strong enemy comes to attack. ”

Zhang Fei, who was a heavy drinker, was a little dizzy after a few jars of wine, and opened his mouth to say: "Since you have formed an alliance, you can't ask for food next time you help." Zhang Fei didn't faint when he was drunk, and this sentence got to the point.

Liu Bei and the others looked at Zhao Yi with a smile, and Liu Bei surprisingly did not reprimand Zhang Fei this time. It costs 5,000 stone of food to help once, who can stand it.

Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Fei's figure, although he was swaying, his eyes were clear and not drunk, and he turned his head slightly to look at Liu Bei. Maybe this was Liu Bei instructed Zhang Fei to say. Zhang Fei, who has always liked to talk fast and spill after drinking, said this is really normal, but even if it causes embarrassment on both sides, when the time comes, just one sentence, Brother Bolai, don't be surprised if my third brother is drunk. It's enough to get it done.

"Since you and I are allies, how can I, Zhao Bolai, ask for food from Anxi County again." Zhao Yi said this very well, but promised not to ask for compensation to Anxi County. But he didn't say that he wouldn't ask Liu Bei for it, Liu Bei still owed Zhao Yi 10,000 stone of grain to save Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yi wanted to get it back.

How could Zhang Fei know what Zhao Yi meant, and muttered: "It's about the same." "Satisfied, sit down and drink.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yi rushed back to Fanyang County, and the three brothers of Liu Bei personally sent out ten miles of land. Seeing Zhao Yi and his party walking farther and farther, gradually turning into a black spot, Liu Bei looked away.

"Zhao Bolai's wisdom is a hundred times better than ours." Liu Bei sighed. Liu Bei admired Zhao Yi very much, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could only attack the city and plunder the land, and their martial arts were superior. But if you want to achieve great things, you need to be resourceful. Zhao Yi is resourceful and is the best candidate. If you can get the help of talents like Zhao Yi, great things can be done.

It is not easy to bring Zhao Yi under the account, Zhao Yi is extremely capable, and there is also a father who is the right servant of Shangshu in the court, and the future is limitless. Liu Bei laughed quite self-deprecatingly, how could people deign to follow him, a little county lieutenant?

Zhang Fei admired Zhao Yi's resourcefulness in his heart, but he said: "Zhao Yi's head is good, but he is too greedy for money." The last time I was arrested, I blackmailed my eldest brother with 1,000 stone of grain, and asked my eldest brother to promise 10,000 stone of grain. This time, I just said some words, and I didn't even touch the knife and swept away five thousand stone of grain from my Anxi County, which is really hateful. ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "I'd rather be friends with real villains than work with hypocrites." Compared with talent, the petty matter of greed for money is negligible. "Take a deep breath, take Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back to Anxi County, there are still a lot of troops to train.

The fast cavalry had already sent the news of Zhao Yi's return to the city to Fanyang County, and the county Cheng Yin, the county lieutenant Li Si and Liao Hua greeted each other outside the city. The news of the victory had arrived last night. Several people had happy faces on their faces: "Congratulations on your victorious return." ”

Zhao Yi led his troops to walk on the streets, and the people watched the carriages loaded with blood-stained armor and weapons, and whispered.

"Looking at the armor and weapons, there are more than 200 people, our lord is really powerful."

"The Yellow Turban Thief is not an opponent of adults at all, I have decided, I will go to join the army in the afternoon!"

Listening to the shouts in the mouths of the people, Zhao Yi really had a fluttering feeling in his heart, no wonder so many people like to be emperors, and it feels really good to be supported.

Back to the mansion, transport those armor weapons to the mansion, after two major battles, Zhao Yi can win more with less, Liao Hua's reverence for Zhao Yi is from the hair to the heels, looking at Zhao Yi from Anxi County to get back three carts of armor, his face showed joy: "My lord, our new soldiers have not been issued armor, and the adults have already obtained it from elsewhere, which is really good." As he spoke, he beckoned the soldiers to come and carry them.

But Zhao Yi waved his hand to let those soldiers put it down: "This armor has been torn in many places, and it can't resist swords and axes, so it can't be distributed to soldiers." ”

Liao Hua picked up one and looked at it, although it can't be said that it is full of holes, but there are long knife marks on it, and there are more or less gaps in the weapon, not to mention that it takes a lot of effort to kill people and rabbits. He asked in surprise: "My lord, these armor weapons are already scrap, what are you doing when you transport them to the mansion?" ”

"You'll find out later." Zhao Yi didn't explain much, but called the soldiers: "Call the blacksmith in the city to see me." The soldier answered.

Hearing Zhao Yi's summons, the blacksmith came here in a hurry. Zhao Yi asked the blacksmith: "Master, how do you look at the material of these weapons?" ”

The blacksmith expertly touched the two spear heads and tapped them gently: "My lord, although the materials of these weapons are not of the highest quality, they are not bad. "The weapons used in the army are naturally refined through several processes, otherwise they are not enough to be used as battlefield kills.

"Are these iron tools enough to refine a hundred heavy armors?" Zhao Yi asked.

Most of the ordinary soldiers below use spears, only the head of the spear is iron, but the bottom is a wooden stick, and the more than 200 spear heads do not have much iron. The blacksmith shook his head: "Not enough. ”

Zhao Yi walked back and forth in the courtyard for two steps, and beckoned to the soldiers: "Bring the recovered thistle terrestris." ”

Seeing those thistles, the blacksmith nodded and said, "Enough, enough." ”

Zhao Yi asked people to bring money and said, "Master, no one in my army knows this craft, and I have to trouble you." As he spoke, he handed over the money in his hand.

But the blacksmith resolutely refused to accept it: "Lord Meng looks up to the old man, how can he collect the adult's money." ”

Zhao Yi gave it several times, but the blacksmith still didn't accept it: "The adults and the yellow turban thieves fought hard to keep us living a stable life." If the villagers knew that I had received a lot of money, they wouldn't have scolded me to death. ”

The people don't ask for much, they only want three meals to eat and live a peaceful life. Zhao Yi did not push it back, but sent someone to send two bags of noodles to the blacksmith's house, which should be rewarded.

The blacksmith called in the blacksmiths of several villages in Fanyang County to help, and he was busy in Zhao Yi's backyard.

At the same time, Zhao Yi called Liao Hua and asked him to find more than 100 strong men among the soldiers who defected and trained them separately.

Liao Hua asked: "Your Excellency wants to build a heavy armor army?" ”

Zhao Yi nodded: "Yes, in the future, this heavy armor army will be the vanguard of our department." "After staying in the army for five years, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Zhao Yi naturally knows. When he said this, his eyes looked at Liao Hua. This team is the elite of the vanguard, and the people who lead it should be brave and indomitable, and only the people who lead the army are brave, and this army can be like a wedge chiseled into wood under the leadership of the generals.

After getting along these days, Zhao Yi felt that Liao Hua was more than calm and lacking in sharpness. can't take this army, and the most suitable person in the Three Kingdoms is probably only Zhang Fei. However, Zhao Yi can only think about it, blatantly prying Liu Bei's corner, the sword in his hand has not stabbed Zhao Yi into a hornet's nest.

There are no soldiers and no generals, which makes Zhao Yi a little distressed.

In less than three days, the blacksmith had already cast the armor. The more than 100 men in heavy armor made a crisp sound when the armor collided as they walked.

Liao Hua tried it with the big knife in his hand, but he could only leave a white mark on the armor, and he was very satisfied with this heavy armor: "My lord, this armor is really strong, even if the general is trapped in this heavy armor army, there is no chance of survival." ”

Zhao Yi wanted this effect, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay!" Strengthen the training of these heavy armor soldiers, and let them run ten miles with heavy armor on their backs every day. "Only by strengthening the training and familiarizing these soldiers with the heavy armor, they will not look bulky when they charge and kill.

Liao Hua promised and ran down.

Zhao Yi shook his steps with satisfaction, and wanted to go to the backyard to see how the hydrosol refined by Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum was, so he stopped Cheng Yin: "My lord, my lord." ”

Looking at Cheng Yin's excited and happy look, Zhao Yi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord, Guo Xun is here, saying that he is here to commend the merits of the adults." Cheng Yin, who has been a county minister for most of his life, went to see the officials by himself, and this time the boss actually deigned to come here, and the excited Cheng Yin's face turned red.

Cheng Yin looks very much like the kind of employees who made achievements in later generations and desperately wanted to be praised by their bosses. Isn't it just a county guard, as for such a fuss, according to Zhao Yi, it is another trickster, saying that Zhao Yi's move is for the country and the people, and the country is really fortunate to have Zhao Yi. These compliments, Zhao Yi can recite them upside down. Unsurprised, he asked Cheng Yin: "Did the county guard bring something?" ”

Cheng Yin threw himself into Zhao Yi's admiration, and his boss came to condole, but Zhao Yi did not prepare gifts for his boss. When I came up, I asked my boss if he had brought a gift. I don't know the way of officialdom, Zhao Yi is estimated to be able to come here: "The county guard sympathizes with our hard work in successive battles, and personally escorts 10,000 stone of grain to reward the soldiers. ”

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up, pushed Cheng Yin away and hurriedly walked out of the mansion, and asked Cheng Yin eagerly: "Where is the county guard now?" ”
