Li Yi left Xiao Hui to inspect the customs and customs of Shanxian Mansion, and took Guo Zhun, Lian Jun, Qiu Feng and others, and went straight to the Xishan camp with Yang Huaiying's brigade.

At this time, Yang Huai was already full of joy when Li Yi agreed to form an alliance. And under the heart-to-heart conversation between each other, there is a good feeling of sympathy.

Through his unabashed introduction, Li Yi learned that Dayi Ningguo had stationed a large number of men and horses in Tokyo, and the total number was close to two-thirds of the country's total troops.

Most of them were stationed in the Kunyang camp near Tonghai, so as to directly face the Tonghai garrison in the south.

As the general reserve, the Xishan Battalion is an important second echelon and a base for weapon production and grain reserves, which can be replenished at any time to block the frontal attack of Tonghai.

According to Yang Huaiying, the number of iron cavalry in Dayi Ningguo is more than three times that of Tonghai, and the weapons are much more sophisticated, and the grain and grass are sufficient, and the people support them.

If we can get a positive response from the Yunnan side, it will only take half a month to completely wipe out the rebel forces in Tonghai.

Therefore, they are currently actively preparing for war, stockpiling military rations and weapons, once the conditions are ripe, a big war with Tonghai can be said to be imminent, and to put it simply, they are just waiting for Li Yi to respond positively.

Although Li Yi did not answer his request positively from beginning to end, he would still say ambiguous words. Li Yi was noncommittal while playing the side ball, and at the same time expressed a strong interest in his military deployment, in addition to praising it, it was deeply admired, and Yang Huaiying was full of joy.

Presumably in his mind, Yunnan is already the most important ally of the Great Yi Ning Kingdom.

Li Yi knows that he is a little unkind, but the situation is unforgiving, and it is better to push the boat with the wind than to go with the wind.

Although the Great Yi Ning Kingdom seems to be extremely powerful, it has long been divided among the high-level people, and the white barbarian and black barbarian tribes that account for nearly half of the population have already deviated from morality and people's hearts.

Hey! Just go ahead and get complacent! I don't have time to play with you.

Although Yang Huaiying admires Li Yi from the bottom of his heart, he sincerely wants to have an in-depth relationship with him.

But Li Yi can't joke with the fate and future of the whole of Yunnan! After all, there is still the safety and happiness of nearly 200,000 people in Yunnan!

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Yi can still distinguish which is more important than the other.

In fact, there is nothing special about the military strength of Dayi Ningguo, no matter how strong the military appearance is, no matter how bright the armor is, what is the use, in fact, what Li Yi values most is their weapon making technology.

You must know that in Yunnan, due to the backwardness of the iron refining process, it is impossible to create such a delicate and durable weapon, which is also one of the important reasons why the combat effectiveness of the Yunnan army has always been low.

In a large-scale workshop specializing in the production of various weapons in the camp of the West Mountain, twelve tall smelting furnaces are lined up.

Beside the blazing fire, hundreds of craftsmen went into battle shirtless, sweating like rain on the red-hot blank, and the sound of repeated forging was like a fixed note, one after another, with a strong sense of rhythm.

Li Yi followed Yang Huaiying around the workshop, showing strong interest, and asked a few questions from time to time. In particular, the structural design of the blast furnace has never been touched by me before.

So Li Yi observed it in detail, and took the opportunity to consult the craftsmen on the process of making weapons, and kept the details firmly in mind.

Yang Huaiying didn't seem to doubt Li Yi's motives at all, and of course he couldn't have thought that Li Yi, a weak scholar, could see what the way was, but he took the trouble to give him a detailed introduction.

While leading Li Yi around, he said comfortably: "Your country has a vast territory, with two vast lands in Lingnan, and is close to the sea, and pearls, rhinos, jade and other things can be said to have everything. ”

"Although our Dayining country is a small country, there is no geographical advantage, and the only thing that can be taken is this divine weapon, and we dare not say anything else, but we are the best at this weapon manufacturing technique."

"The famous Duo Sheath, Yu Dao, Nanzhao Sword, etc., which were made during the Nanzhao period, have been passed down to this day, and they are still the secret of our country today."

Among them, the Duo sheath is particularly noble, its shape is like a knife with a broken blade, and it is equipped with a golden dome of iron, and its sharpness is "pointed to but all holes". Green Po Moqiu and Qi Yunfu are among the treasures. ”

"But it's quite cumbersome to make, and it takes about ten years to make a knife, which is really rare."

"The Yu knife is a weapon second only to the Duo sheath, most of which are folk things, and its blade is refined with great poison, and those who are in the skin of people will die immediately. In recent years, because it is too vicious, there are very few surviving ones. ”

"And the Nanzhao Sword has also been handed down, and the most sophisticated and famous of them is the Ronin Sword."

"Because this kind of sword can only be worn by the royal family and high-ranking generals, most of them are made by the royal family in the capital, and it takes several years to do it every time, so the output is also very small."

"It is a great honor for Li Dashuai to be able to visit our country in person this time. In order to show Xiao Wang's admiration for your country, and also because my brother is a distinguished guest of our Great Righteous Ning Kingdom, we should express it no matter what we say. ”

"Therefore, on behalf of the lord of my country, I solemnly present a wave sword dedicated to the king to my brother, and a Ze Sheath Treasure Knife of Yunfu, I hope that my brother will not refuse!"

As he spoke, he beckoned people to bring both knives and swords.

Li Yi was surprised and delighted when he heard this, isn't this a pie in the sky? I have long heard that the swords of Nanzhao are excellent and precious, and what I want but can't get is so easy to get, how can I not let myself be overjoyed?

Especially Yang Huaiying's own special wave sword, no matter how you say it, it can't be bad, and the other Yunfu Ze Sheath Treasure Knife must be very rare.

After being a little polite, Li Yi took the wave sword and treasure knife handed over by Yang Huaiying, and couldn't put it down.

Although he is not an expert, but the quality of this weapon is still known at a glance, whether it is the sharpness of the blade or the appearance of the workmanship, these two swords are the best of the weapons, and compared with the rare short sword 'Yanlong' that Lu Long gave him, it looks not inferior at all.

After appreciating, Li Yi handed over the swords to Lian Jun behind him, and said to Yang Huai with gratitude: "Brother Yang gave me such a precious sword, but let the little brother how I can repay it!" ”

"The little brother is empty-handed, and he can't take out anything, but he got so many valuables from Brother Yang at once, Brother Yang is so fond of me."
