"Zhang Jiao's small victory, it is extremely rampant. Who do you think Aiqing can governor Jizhou and share my worries? Liu Hong then said to the civil and military officials.

This time, He Jin was much more low-key and didn't dare to speak first.

After all, there are lessons from the past, even if He Jin says the candidate he wants, Liu Hong may not agree.

"Your Majesty, the left middle lang will Huangfu Song, and the right middle lang will Zhu Wei win a big victory in Nanyang, and their morale is strong, so they can push the army north, and together with all the soldiers in Jizhou, encircle and suppress Zhang Jiao." Sikong Zhang Wen got up and bowed to Liu Hong.

Zhang Wen's hometown is in Nanyang Sui County, Zhu Yan and Huangfu Song pacified Nanyang, and Zhang Wen felt his kindness.

As soon as this statement came out, the ministers seconded it.

After the death of famous generals in the late Han Dynasty such as Huangfu Gui, Zang Min, Duan Cheng, and Zhang Huan, the most famous in the army were Zhu Wei and Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi was inferior to them.

As for He Jin and He Miao, although their official positions are rising faster and faster, their resourcefulness and talent have not increased at all.

Mu monkey and crown!

Although the civil and military officials did not dare to speak on the surface, they looked down on He Jin in their hearts.

As soon as Liu Hong's voice fell, the first thing the ministers thought of was the two of them. The ability of Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei is understandable.

"It's been some time since the imperial brother went to Yanzhou to attack the Yellow Turban, I don't know how the battle is going?"

Liu Hong did not immediately make up his mind, but brought on to another topic.

In fact, Liu Hong is most optimistic about Liu Fan.

Although Liu Hong doesn't know much about military affairs, Liu Fan's military exploits are there. When the Yellow Turbans were exterminated, they always won more with less, and there was no defeat.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Yunchu were defeated by Bocai and were surrounded by Changshe, which made Liu Hong frightened for a while, and he was not in the mood to drink and have fun, and he has always been haunted by this matter.

More than 100,000 yellow scarves in Nanyang were quickly exterminated by Liu Fan's strategy, although they were not there, but their contributions were indispensable.

What's more, Liu Hong recognizes Liu Fan as the emperor's younger brother and loves him very much, so he naturally believes in Liu Fan a little more.

According to the report of the Taishou Bridge of Dongjun, Liu Fan, the general of Zhengbei, captured 20,000 enemies in Xiancheng, where the Yellow Turbans of Kebuji was stationed not long ago, and the rest of the Yellow Turbans led by Buji were homeless and fled to the east. I think the news of victory will come soon. Guanglu Xun Ding Gong got up and replied to Liu Hong.

"In this case, Shilling Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei went north to Jizhou, temporarily stabilize the situation in Jizhou, and must not let the Yellow Turban power spread again. At that time, after the emperor's younger brother exterminated Dongjun, he went north to Jizhou, issued unified orders, led the three armies, and annihilated the remaining Yellow Turban Party in Jizhou in one fell swoop. Liu Hong said in an orderly manner.

Lead the three armies!

In this way, Liu Fan not only controlled the county soldiers and the soldiers of the Northern Army in Jizhou, but also Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei were bound by Liu Fan.

The civil and military officials couldn't bear it anymore, none of the monarchs and ministers had seen Liu Fan, but he was so hot, he would definitely be able to cover the sky with one hand as soon as he went to the court.

The general He Jin changed color when he heard this, so his status will definitely decline rapidly, Liu Fan has not yet calmed down the Yellow Turban, Your Majesty will give this order, does Your Majesty trust Liu Fan so much?

Zhang Rang was still standing beside Liu Hong with low eyebrows, seemingly expressionless, judging from his slightly trembling fingers, he was actually not calm in his heart.

Usually, Liu Hong would go behind the scenes to discuss many things with him, but he didn't hear any news about this matter.

Liu Fan's power has expanded so fast, can he really control him?

Two days later. A fast horse galloped from Yanzhou East County to Luoyang, bringing the news of the arrival to the court.

On the same day, Liu Hong issued an edict. Ordered Liu Fan to wave his army north, and gave great power to control all kinds of soldiers and horses, and the governor of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jizhou.

Hedong, Anyi.

In a manor in Sakurayama-tei, more than 300 people are in full swing.

More than 100 of them were blacksmiths recruited by Liu Fan in various parts of Hedong, and the other part were newly recruited blacksmith apprentices.

These days, Shen Tugang put down his previous busy work and began to carry out the orders sent back by Liu Fan.

Now the Bright Light Armor and the Heavy Iron Armor are being manufactured in an orderly manner. The only thing lacking is a sharp weapon.

If you want a weapon to be sharp, you need to train good steel.

There is a specialization in the art industry. If it is just a modification of farm tools, Liu Fan may still be.

When it comes to steel, he doesn't know much about it, and he has no clue about the kind of steel in later generations.

In this regard, he could only slightly mention Shen Tugang.

The higher the carbon content, the greater the hardness, and the lower the carbon content, the better the toughness.

Pig iron is harder than steel, but the toughness of steel is good, and the ratio of toughness to hardness of steel is just right, so in reality, steel is "harder" than iron.

Iron with very low impurities is called pure iron. Iron that people often refer to, that is, iron with a very high carbon content, is called pig iron. Iron with a low carbon content is called steel.

The difference between steel and iron is because of the difference in carbon content.

Before the Qin Dynasty, good blacksmiths always tried to make iron into steel, because steel had more advantages than iron.

The original iron was a block of iron, which could only be forged, not cast, and the weapons made were not as good as bronze weapons.

Blacksmiths used block iron as raw material, heated it repeatedly, folded and forged, squeezed out sundries, and carburized and hardened it in contact with charcoal fire, which became block smelting carburizing steel. This is the most primitive steel. In the manufacturing process of this kind of steel, it needs to be repeatedly heated and forged, so it is also called "hundred steel".

Due to the poor properties of this steel and the high labor consumption, it did not take long to be eliminated. Instead, it was "fried steel".

Stir-fried steel is a new technology that appeared in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the method of smelting is to heat the pig iron to a liquid or semi-liquid state first, and then rely on the blast or add concentrate powder to reduce the carbon content of the pig iron, so that it becomes steel.

After frying steel, the composition of the steel is more uniform.

However, when frying steel, if the heat is not well mastered and the fire is over-fried, the carbon content of the steel will be low, and the frying steel will be fried into wrought iron.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, craftsmen discovered that the addition of pig iron could make up for this shortcoming. This led to the creation of a new steelmaking technology, the steel-filling method.

Liu Fan instructed Shentu Steel to use coal to heat the furnace temperature, and explained the general steps of the steel filling method, so that the steel filling method was born in advance, and it was a more advanced steel filling method.

"Brother Shentu, what the lord told you to do was completed so quickly?"

Shen Tugang invited Liu Yu to come and take out the results of his manufacturing over the years.

Liu Yu held the steel in his hand, he didn't know anything about this aspect, so he could only ask Shen Tugang questions.

"Cheng, the lord said a few words, but let me be enlightened, this steel casting is not difficult, after having a way, I quickly figured out this method. As long as there is enough charcoal and ironstone, this steel can be made on a large scale. Shen Tugang happily replied.

Shentu Steel is very keen on steel, and has tried to find better quality steel many times, but it has failed.

Now I have my wish, and I have no regrets in this life.

"If you succeed, the lord will get twice the result with half the effort!" Liu Yu smiled sincerely.

The lord once said that this place was the most important place for him.

Whether the big thing can be done or not, it accounts for three points here.
