Liu Yi heard that Yao Lie threw himself at Gongsun Zhan, and the fire that had been pressing on his heart for the past few days suddenly broke out, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he fainted. Zhang Fei and the others around him were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly carried Liu Yi to the house, and then sent someone to find a Lang Zhong.

It wasn't until noon that Liu Yi was fed a decoction by everyone that he gradually woke up, and everyone saw Liu Yi wake up and hurriedly surrounded him.

"My lord! Are you okay? Zhang Fei, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, asked with a concerned face.

Liu Yi looked at Zhang Fei and Cui Si in front of the bed with a concerned look, and forced a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just that there has been a little evil fire recently, just rest and rest."

When the three of them heard this, they were relieved.

Liu Yi called Cui Si to his side, and asked a little eagerly, "Si'er, what do you mean by what you said about Yao Lie in the morning?" Tell me about it carefully."

When Cui Si saw Liu Yi asking, he didn't know whether to say it or not, so he looked at Zhang Fei for help.

"What do you think he's doing? I'm asking you, it's okay, don't worry about me, I can hold it"

Cui Si glanced at Zhang Fei again, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he sighed deeply and said, "Lord, I heard from the person who went out to inquire about the news this morning that he saw Yao Lie and others at the junction of Beiping and Xianbei, and at that time with Yao Lie, there was also Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Yao Lie and others were still under the banner of Gongsun Zhan, tell me that this is not a rebellion, what is this?" The more Cui Si said, the more excited he became.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei also said with a painful face, "I really know people and faces, I don't know my heart, I have always regarded Lao Yao as a brother, but I didn't expect him to be... Alas~"

Liu Yi still didn't believe that Yao Lie would betray him, so he asked Cui Si again, "Si'er, have your people come into contact with Yao Lie and others?" ”

"I haven't touched it! The person who delivered the letter said that at that time, Gongsun Zhan seemed to be leading troops to fight with the Xianbei people, and the troops were in a hurry, so our people didn't have a chance to meet Yao Lie and them alone at all! ”

"Since we haven't been in contact, we can't conclude that Yao Lie has rebelled, and we have been together for so long, I believe that Yao Lie is a person, even if he follows Gongsun Zhan, he will talk to us, and he won't leave quietly like this!" Liu Yi said firmly.

"I also believe in Brother Yao, when I got married, Brother Yao also specially gave me a dagger, I believe that Brother Yao is definitely not that kind of person!" Wang San also believed that Yao Lie did not defect.

Cui Si on the side looked at Wang San with a forbidden nose and said, "You useless thing, give you a dagger, you believe that he has not defected?" Then I'll give you a bag of gold and silver! Just like you, that is, if you meet someone else, you will sell you and help others count the money! ”

Wang Sanyi heard that Cui Si took the opportunity to sarcastically mock himself again, and his heart was also angry, and he looked at Cui Si angrily and said, "Do you believe that I beat you?" ”

"You're blowing! You can move me and try it! Cui Si saw that Liu Yi and Zhang Fei were by his side, so he shouted arrogantly.

Without waiting for Liu Yi to speak, Zhang Fei on the side stood up and kicked the buttocks of the two, one of them kicked him, and scolded, "What the fuck is it, you two are still arguing here?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Fei was angry, the two of them wilted all of a sudden, and stood aside with their heads down, not daring to speak again.

After Liu Yi thought about it, he said to Cui Si, "Si'er, you continue to send people to follow Yao Lie and them, come back and report as soon as there is news, remember to pay attention to safety, don't let Gongsun Zhan's sentinels find out, and then be found out and treated as a spy, we will not be able to eat and go around!" ”

"Don't worry, lord!" Cui Si assured with confidence.

Seeing this, Liu Yi nodded, then looked at Zhang Fei and Wang San and said, "You two will go out immediately now to post a notice for conscription, and I plan to recruit another 5,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Zhang Fei and Wang San looked at each other when they heard this.

"Lord, why are we recruiting so many soldiers? The bandits in the mountains near us have almost cleared the two of us, and the remaining small fish and shrimp don't need so many people, right? Zhang Fei asked puzzled.

"There is going to be a big battle soon, and with our current 1,000 people, we won't be able to play at all when the time comes, and if we recruit another 5,000, we can barely protect ourselves!" Liu Yi said solemnly to the two.

As soon as Zhang Fei heard that there was a big battle to be fought, he suddenly became excited.

"Lord, when is the fight starting? Who are we fighting? It's not going to be a fight against Gongsun Zhan, right? Zhang Fei excitedly asked Liu Yi three questions in a row.

Liu Yi knew that as soon as Zhang Fei drank some wine, his mouth was as loose as the waist of cotton pants, so he didn't dare to tell him about the Yellow Turban Uprising, but just found a reason to prevaricate him.

After the order, Zhang Fei and Wang San went out to prepare for the conscription, Liu Yi left Cui Si behind, seeing Zhang Fei and the two walking away, Liu Yi sat up straight under Cui Si's support and asked, "How is the matter of Taiping Taoism?" ”

"My lord, I have already found out that those people are indeed preparing to rebel, and it will not be more than October at the latest."

When Liu Yi heard this, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but scold his mother, "These people are really fucking good at finding time!" October is the time of the autumn harvest, and I am afraid that the rebellion at this time will go to the grain in the peasants' fields."

"Lord, what should we do then?" Cui Si asked in a low voice.

"What can I do! The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! By the way, you'll be able to find someone for me later."

After saying that, Liu Yi asked Cui Si to bring paper and pen, sat on the bed by himself, put the paper on a wooden board and began to draw, after scrapping more than a dozen pieces of paper, Liu Yi finally drew a person's general appearance on the paper according to the memory of his previous life, Liu Yi handed the portrait to Cui Si and said, "You call your subordinates, find me someone according to this portrait!" ”

Cui Si took the portrait, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Lord, what is the name of this person?" ”

Liu Yi thought about it and said, "This person's name now is definitely not the name I know, so I don't know what his name is now, you just follow the portrait to find it!" ”

Hearing this, Cui Si looked at the twisted portrait painted by Liu Yi again, bared his teeth, and said with some embarrassment, "Lord, this has no name, it's too difficult to find someone just by the portrait, and you look at what you painted..."

After Cui Si finished speaking, he also picked up the portrait to show Liu Yi, Liu Yi knew that his painting was really not good, and when Cui Si said this, his old face suddenly turned red, and he scolded in annoyance, "If it's easy, what the hell do I use you for?" Don't talk nonsense, hurry up! ”

Cui Si didn't dare to say anything after being scolded by Liu Yi, and hurriedly ran out to prepare after hurriedly agreeing.

......

As soon as the news of Liu Yi's conscription came out, young people from nearby towns came to sign up, and within a few days, nearly 5,000 young and strong young men participated in the conscription, and there were some hunters among them.

According to Liu Yi's instructions, Zhang Fei divided these people into three groups, 2,000 people were cavalry, 2,000 people were infantry, and the remaining hunters who had archery roots were assigned to the team of archers.

But among these 6,000 people, only the first 1,000 people, these people who followed Zhang Fei everywhere to suppress bandits during this time can be regarded as having gone through the baptism of war, but the remaining 5,000 people are ordinary people, even those hunters, at most, they only usually shoot some wild boars, roe deer and other animals, and there are no real killers at all, so Liu Yi specially instructed Zhang Fei that during this time, he must strictly train those people, and try to find some bandits to let these people see blood.

A month later, in September 183 AD, Liu Yi's body finally recovered under the careful care of the maids in the palace.

After Liu Yi finished breakfast that day, he came to the Arsenal Division under the protection of several guards, and after arriving at the Arsenal Division, Liu Yi looked at the lively scene in front of him, and was very relieved, and suddenly felt that it was a very correct decision to let Blacksmith Li take charge of the Arsenal Division regardless of his previous suspicions.

Liu Yi came to the place where Blacksmith Li was resting, and saw Blacksmith Li scolding several of his masters while beating his crutches on the ground, and these masters were scolded at this time with their heads down, and they didn't notice Liu Yi's arrival.

"Seeing that it is almost time to make an agreement with the Lord, will you let me take these broken copper and iron to the Lord? Ahem~" Blacksmith Li scolded, and coughed in excitement.

Seeing this, the person next to Blacksmith Li hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, and as soon as the tea was served, the man saw Liu Yi standing behind Blacksmith Li, and hurriedly put down the teacup and knelt on the ground.

"I've seen the lord!"

Blacksmith Li and the others also hurriedly turned their heads when they heard this, and saw Liu Yi standing at the door at this time.

"I've seen the lord, I didn't know the lord was coming, and I didn't go out to greet him, and I hope the lord will forgive me!"

Liu Yi smiled at everyone and waved his hand to let everyone get up.

Liu Yi walked to the table in front of everyone, picked up the iron spearhead placed on the table and looked at it carefully, then took a ring-headed knife from the guard's hand, and slashed at the spearhead hard, "dang", the blade and the spearhead touched together, and suddenly stirred up a spark, and then the spearhead popped out far away, and the blacksmith who had been scolded by Li Blacksmith just now saw this, and hurriedly ran over to pick up the spearhead and handed it to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked at the spearhead that had been cut out of a not very deep mark, and said to Blacksmith Li with a suspicious expression, "Master Li, isn't this also good?" Why were you so angry just now? ”

When Blacksmith Li heard this, he pointed to the ring-headed knife in Liu Yi's hand and said, "Lord, the knife in your hand was not damaged at all at all when you were just now, you are looking at this spearhead, it has been cut out, how can this be considered good!" ”

After speaking, Blacksmith Li also looked at the few blacksmiths over there with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and those masters lowered their heads in shame when they saw this.

When Liu Yi heard this, he smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say, he didn't expect Blacksmith Li to be so strict, when he asked Blacksmith Li and others to build five thousand sets of equipment, he originally wanted them to build them according to ordinary weapons, but he didn't expect Blacksmith Li to ask everyone to build these five thousand sets of equipment according to the standard of the ring head knife, no wonder it was too late.

After Liu Yi waved his hand and asked the masters to go down to get busy, he asked Blacksmith Li to sit on the chair behind him, and then sat next to Blacksmith Li himself, comforting and said, "Master Li, your requirements are too strict!" The Ring Head Knife is our strongest weapon now, and if you let the people below build it according to this standard, it will be a little difficult for them! ”

Hearing this, Blacksmith Li hurriedly explained to Liu Yi: "My lord, on the day of the establishment of our Arsenal Division, you set rules and requirements for us to be innovative, if the weapons we build are getting worse and worse, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the lord's high expectations for us!" So as long as it's a weapon from the Arsenal Division, it can only be better, and you can't fool things around! ”

Seeing Blacksmith Li like this, Liu Yi was both relieved and a little helpless, and regretted that he had asked too much for everyone at the beginning.

"Master Li, then we also have to combine work and rest, I just saw that many masters outside are working with dark circles under their eyes, this is not good!" Liu Yi persuaded him.

"Isn't this about to arrive at the time of the delivery agreement with the Lord, we have been working all night in a hurry these days, just for fear of delaying the Lord's business!" Blacksmith Lee explained.

When Liu Yi heard this, he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he asked, "Then how much have we built now?" ”

Hearing this, Blacksmith Li replied, "Counting those substandard weapons like just now, five thousand sets have been created now."

"Huh? So fast! Liu Yi was surprised by the speed of Blacksmith Li and the others.

"But there are still nearly 500 sets of substandard equipment, and now they are ready to be redone."

Hearing this, Liu Yi hurriedly ordered someone to inform the blacksmiths to stop, and then said to Blacksmith Li, "Master Li, enough, these weapons are enough to use now, and after a while, we can create good weapons and equipment and replace those five hundred sets."

After speaking, Liu Yi arranged for someone to transport all the 5,000 sets of equipment to the school training ground and handed them over to Zhang Fei.

After all the work was done, Liu Yi looked at the people in front of him who were shirtless, sweaty, and sitting on the side to rest, and he was a little unhappy, so he announced that everyone would be given a three-day holiday, so that everyone could rest and rest.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.

At noon, Liu Yi stayed in the Arsenal Division to prepare to have lunch with everyone and then go back, at this time the weather was warm, so everyone usually ate in the courtyard, everyone set the table, and after sitting down, the cooks of the Arsenal Division carried the lunch up.

When the kitchen guy put the lunch in front of Liu Yi, Liu Yi saw the lunch in front of him, stood up and looked at the lunch in front of everyone, and suddenly became angry, pulled the kitchen guy next to him and asked, "You usually eat this?" ”

The man was a little confused by Liu Yi's question, nodded and replied cautiously, "That's right!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi clenched his fists, slammed the table in front of him, and scolded, "Call your chef out to Lao Tzu!" ”

When the young man saw Liu Yi's fierce look, he was so frightened that he ran to the back kitchen.
