Zhang Jaw hugged his fists and said: "Back to the lord, after the battle of Goguryeo, the pioneer battalion of the last general and the wolf cavalry of Li Dian and Lejin all suffered heavy casualties. There is an urgent need to replenish the supply of troops. The last general wanted to choose from the Zhili forbidden army, but Mr. Fu refused to let him. ”

"The Zhili Forbidden Army has just been reorganized, and now it is a complete organization. If you choose from one of them, it will disrupt the establishment, isn't it redundant? Frustrated argued.

"Then the vanguard battalion and the wolf cavalry can't help but replenish the source of troops, right?" Jaw asked.

Li Dian and Le Jin both looked at Yuan Xi, hoping that Yuan Xi would stand up and help speak, after all, the combat effectiveness of the pioneer battalion and the wolf cavalry army was obvious to all and tested. In this way, the two armies should be taken care of first.

"That's it?" Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Even Goguryeo has been defeated by us, is the source of soldiers still a problem?" ”

"The lord agrees to be selected from the forbidden army?" Zhang Jaw asked happily.

"It's really not appropriate to pick from the forbidden army..." Yuan Xi took a map, looked at it a few times, and said, "Our next war is to unify the whole of Hebei." The enemies were Zhang Yan and Yuan Shang. The armies that confronted them were all in the area of Hanoi and Lyyang. The vanguard battalion and the wolf cavalry army could rush there on the same day to join General Yan Liang, and then select a few thousand men from his army to replenish. ”

"That's very good. Thank you. Zhang Jaw's eyes were stunned, and he agreed without hesitation.

To be honest, he still doesn't look down on Juyi's forbidden army, they are all recruits in Wei County, they haven't experienced decent battles, and they have to pee their pants on the battlefield, if it weren't for the shortage of soldiers, he wouldn't be pestered and frustrated, so he had to choose from the forbidden army.

"Okay..."

Li Dian and Le Jin also agreed.

Frustrated and asked weakly: "I don't know when the lord is going to attack Zhang Yan?" ”

"There's no hurry. We have just stabilized the rear, the soldiers are tired and the people are in chaos, and let the soldiers rest well and make plans after the harvest next autumn. Besides, the paper copper currency has not yet been implemented in Youzhou, North Korea, Goguryeo and other regions, and the economic foundation is poor. Now is not the time to expand outward. Yuan Xi said.

"Hmm...." Frustrated, he stroked the three-inch beard under his forehead.

"Go back and rest for a few days, and then lead your army to Hanoi." Yuan Xi said to Zhang Jaw, Li Dian, and Le Jin.

"Yes."

The three got up and left.

Tian Feng picked up a document and handed it to Yuan Xi: "My lord, this is our military and political yamen, please take a look at the arrangements for Gao Yanwei and the nobles and generals of Goguryeo." ”

"Good."

Yuan Xi took it and opened it, glanced at it roughly, and closed the paperwork: "Just handle it like this." ”

"No."

"Go and get busy, and the prince will come with me." Yuan Xi got up and walked out. Guo Tu looked at Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, and sighed in his heart, not understanding why Yuan Xi recruited him alone. Frustrated urged, "Go quickly." ”

"Oooh..."

Guo Tu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Yuan Xi.

"Mr. Gongze, where is the armory?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Back to the lord, it's in Beicheng, not far from the school. Now he is stepping up to build chariots, as well as the armor of the Zhili Forbidden Army. Guo Tu replied.

"Take me there."

"No."

Follow Guo Tu to the Yecheng Armory.

Yuan Xi saw the armory workshop in Yecheng for the first time, which was countless times larger than the armory workshop in Youzhou. The armory was surrounded by a wall, and there was only one gate to enter and exit, which was guarded by Juyi's forbidden army.

"Is the lord here?" Guo Tu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Just take a look..."

Yuan Xi walked inside for a while.

The people inside didn't know Yuan Xi and did their own thing silently.

When he arrived at a corner, he saw a row of war knives hanging on the wall, Yuan Xi took down the two handles casually, and collided with each other vigorously: "Bell! Clang! Clang! "After the collision, the knife was notched.

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "The quality is too poor!" ”

"Uh..." Guo Tu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "If the lord collides like this, there will definitely be a gap in the battle knife." Even if the best knife is on the battlefield, it can only be fought in one or two big battles, after which the weapon has to be changed. ”

"It's because your quenching skills are so poor." Yuan Xi glanced around the armory workshop and asked Guo Tu, "Is there a master with excellent quenching skills who can make the war knife particularly hard and sharp?" I need him to forge armor for the behemoths. ”

Guo Tu finally knew why Yuan Xi came to the armory, it turned out that he wanted to build armor for the giant beast.

He also thought that Yuan Xi was dissatisfied with his work and came to the armory workshop to find fault, but now he can finally rest assured. But it's a pity, Guo Tu replied: "The quenching process is the same, only the speed is fast, as for the technology.... I really can't tell the difference. ”

"Ugh...."

Yuan Xi sighed and continued to walk forward.

If you can't find a master who can quench, the armor of the giant beasts can only be used. It's just that I don't know if ordinary armor can withstand the attack of large equipment. Especially Cao Cao's thunderbolt, the power should not be underestimated.

"We immediately put up a notice and recruit craftsmen who can forge knives. Whoever forges the best, I will reward him with 100,000 dollars! Yuan Xi turned around and said.

"No."

Guo Tu couldn't help but be shocked.

With 100,000 yuan as a reward, there will be countless craftsmen who come to apply. Maybe there are really people with particularly good skills, and if they get the 100,000 yuan, the craftsman will be rich.

Yuan Xi did not find a satisfactory quenching master and prepared to leave the armory.

Guo Tu always followed.

When he was about to go out, Yuan Xi suddenly found a rusty war knife under a table. The knife was bent and dusty, and looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. However, in such a war knife, the edge of the knife did not crumble, and there were no cracks. Yuan Xi vigorously picked up the table and pulled it out of it.

"The Lord thinks it's a good knife?" Guo Tu couldn't help but want to laugh.

"I don't know if it's a good knife, but this knife is definitely not made by craftsmen here." Yuan Xi found a cloth and wiped the rust off the knife.

"The lord laughed, this is the Yecheng Weapons Workshop, which is heavily guarded, how can a foreign craftsman bring a knife here? It must be a craftsman master, on a whim, who forged a handful casually, and felt that it was not good, so he used it to pad the corner of the table, and the lord didn't have to care. Guo Tu said.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Yuan Xi ignored Guo Tu's words, took another brand-new war knife from the wall, and collided with the rusty war knife. Touched it three times in a row. Unexpectedly, in just three clicks, the brand-new war knife was cut off. And the rusty knife is still intact, not even a gap.

Hiss...

Yuan Xi's hands trembled slightly, his pupils dilated, and he took a breath of cool air.

"This..." Guo Tu also walked over quickly, with a look of surprise on his face: "How is this possible?" ”
