With Cai Yong, the "teacher", as the medium, Xu Kang found that Zhang Miao's attitude towards himself immediately improved, and it was more than a little better.

This can be seen in the way he calls himself.

used to be the "Xu County Order", but now there is a "virtuous brother", I have to say that these scholars are really realistic enough.

Xu Kang's past experience tells him that in the face of such a realistic person, feelings and feelings do not make sense, and he must be practical.

So after three rounds of drinking, he felt that he had almost chatted with Zhang Miao, so he chose to go straight to the point with him.

"Brother Meng Zhuo, you treat me so sincerely, and give me heavy grain and grass, if I Xu Yide does not reciprocate, I will be laughed at in the future, if not, I will give the 20,000 yellow scarves captured this time to you, you go to the court, and say that it is not me who broke the 100,000 yellow scarves of Peng, but Brother Meng Zhuo!"

"What?" Hearing Xu Kang's words, Zhang Miao's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "Why did Brother Yide say this?" When you are a brother, is that kind of villain? ”

When he spoke, his face also showed a sad look, but the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang could only despise this drama spirit in his heart, but he had to put on a look of being moved inexplicably.

"Brother Meng Zhuo, don't say that, how can your little brother not know? It's really the younger brother himself who can't stand this great achievement, as the so-called 'wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it', the younger brother doesn't want to be jealous of everyone, so he asks the elder brother to replace him, and asks the elder brother to agree! ”

After speaking, he made a gesture towards Zhang Miao, and then bowed to the ground!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and patted him on the shoulder with appreciation.

"A good 'wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it', to be able to say such a thing, it is not a loss to Cai Yilang's high feet, since this is the case, then it is a shame to be a brother, but a brother can't treat you badly, it doesn't matter if you have any requirements!"

Obviously, Zhang Miao is also a "person who understands" and knows the rules of reciprocating peach, which also makes Xu Kang feel relieved, and there is a little more smile on his face.

"Brother is full of fists, but the little brother is disrespectful, and my brother also knows that I was ordered to support the long society, but there is a yellow turban in front of me, and there are no reinforcements in the back, so I implore my brother to lend me 3,000 cavalry, and after the yellow turban is broken, I will return it to my brother!"

"Haha, that's easy to say!" Zhang Miao immediately laughed, and immediately agreed, "Three thousand cavalry and you are, what else do you want from the virtuous brother, just say it!" ”

"Huh? Can you say anything more? ”

Hearing this, Xu Kang immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Then ask my eldest brother to lend me another 100,000 catties of pig iron to build weapons, and after the yellow scarf is broken, I will return it to my brother!"

Zhang Miao: "......"

I'm just talking about it casually, and you really mentioned it? And as soon as you open your mouth, it is 100,000 pig iron, do you want money to be iron?

Although he was very unhappy with Xu Kang's lion opening his mouth, Zhang Miao could only show a very embarrassed look on the surface.

"Alas, Brother Xian doesn't know, today's iron is 25 yuan a catty, money is a trivial matter, the main thing is that Chen Liu does not have 100,000 catties of iron at all, so let's do it, Brother Xian doesn't say anything about borrowing or not borrowing, I still have 30,000 catties of iron in the library, all of them are given to Brother Xian, and I will let people send them to you in a while, how about it?"

Xu Kang: "......"

How about your sister, Chen Liuhui doesn't have 100,000 catties of iron? Fool it!

Isn't it a good cut to cut the price like this?

Although he was very angry, he couldn't have a seizure yet.

Because what he said at the beginning was "borrowing", and now Zhang Miao is saying "sending", to a certain extent, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, if he doesn't accept it again, then there will be a suspicion of vexatiousness.

So he could only thank Zhang Miao again against his will, "In this way, thank you Brother Meng Zhuo!" ”

"Hehe, it's good if the virtuous brother is satisfied!"

Seeing Xu Kang so "acquaintance", Zhang Miao's face softened a lot, but because of the previous lesson, he didn't dare to ask Xu Kang for anything.

Seeing his performance, Xu Kang also knew that it was almost there, so he got up and said goodbye to him.

"Brother is too guarded, and there are still many government affairs to worry about, so the younger brother will not bother and leave!"

"Brother Xian, go slowly!"

"Brother, please stay!"

……

After the two politely exchanged words for a while, they parted at the gate of the Taishou Mansion.

After Xu Kang left, Zhang Miao immediately returned to his room and wrote a recital, detailing his exploits in defeating Peng Tuo's 100,000 army, beheading 7,000 and capturing more than 20,000 people, and then sent someone to Luoyang quickly.

Zhang Miao was busy showing his work, and Xu Kang was not idle.

After leaving the Taishou Mansion, he returned to the temporary barracks with Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng, and then selected a few blacksmiths who could make iron from among the soldiers and handed them the drawings he had drawn.

And he commanded them.

"The thing I drew on this drawing is called a horseshoe, and after a while, the people who guarded the mansion will send the iron here, and you will do your best to build this thing for me, four for a pair, give me three thousand pairs first, and then I will give you other tasks when I get it done!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Xu Kang's words, several blacksmiths in the army immediately agreed, and then began to list the things needed to strike iron.

Although they didn't know what the use of this horseshoe that Xu Kang had asked them to fight was, it didn't prevent them from carrying out the order.

When Zhang Miao also sent someone to send 30,000 catties of iron, several blacksmiths, with the assistance of more than a dozen soldiers, "jingled" to make horseshoes.

The construction of the horseshoe was not complicated, and several blacksmiths quickly became proficient, and then the crafting techniques were handed over to others.

More than a dozen people were busy working together, and by the afternoon, more than two hundred pairs of built horseshoes were sent to Xu Kang.

Looking at these well-made horseshoes, Xu Kang was in a good mood, and immediately told the blacksmiths about the usefulness of the horseshoe, and by the way, he also told them how to nail these horseshoes into the horseshoe.

And his theory of "putting shoes" on horses suddenly surprised everyone, so as soon as he finished speaking, a few blacksmiths and a dozen blacksmith apprentices couldn't wait to take the horseshoe to nail the horseshoe to the war horses in the camp.

For Xu Kang, he is only responsible for teaching techniques, as for how the blacksmiths operate, he doesn't care, all he wants is the result.

After all the blacksmiths had left, he took out a piece of Caihou paper again and continued to draw on it.

Compared to the previous horseshoe, what he drew this time was obviously more complicated, and he muttered as he painted.

"The length of the head and tail of the barrel is 2 feet, in order to prevent the explosion of the bore, 7 iron hoops must be installed around the body, and two iron claws must be added to the gun head as a support, which can also increase the grip, and the weight is maintained within 40 catties, which is convenient for soldiers to transport combat ......."
