However, Han Wunuhan is also a very self-aware person, so for Zhao Jiu's welcome, not only did he not hide it in the slightest, but felt that Zhang Shihua gave him a lot of face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info After all, in his opinion, a person like Zhang Shihua, who was in a high position at a young age and held a lot of power, would definitely have some arrogance, and let his deputy Wanhu come to greet him, which would already be regarded as giving him face.

Besides, at this time, when Han Wunuhan came to the official office of Xizhou under the welcome of Zhao Jiu, Zhang Shihua had already taken Wang Xianzhong and other red turban generals to wait for him in the official office.

To be honest, for Han Wunuhan, Zhang Shihua is also dealing with it casually this time, after all, Han Wunuhan really has nothing worthy of Zhang Shihua's attention now, so as long as both sides can get by, in Zhang Shihua's opinion, it will be fine.

However, what Zhang Shihua didn't expect was that when Zhao Jiu brought Han Wunuhan to the official office, the two sides officially met, and after the politeness, Han Wunuhan actually said such a thing to him in public......

"The last general, Han Wunuhan, has long heard that the general likes the art of Lu Mo, and once said: 'A good craftsman can also defeat a thousand armies.' The general said this, and the last general also deeply agreed. Therefore, the last general specially found more than ten skilled craftsmen who were good at managing soldiers and armor for the general, and some craftsmen made the money, and specially presented them to the general. ”

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he couldn't help but pause, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Han Wunuhan, this is why I should be a big tree." However, although he understood it in his heart, Zhang Shihua's face turned pale, and he said to Han Wunuhan: "If you don't have merit, you can't do it, the general can just say it directly." ”

When Han Wunuhan heard Zhang Shihua's words, his face was also pale, but he saluted Zhang Shihua and said: "The last general has heard the general's name for a long time, and he admires it in his heart, and he only hopes that he can fight with the general to kill the Tartars in the future, not for anything else." ”

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face. I couldn't help but think in my heart: "Sure enough, Han Wu Nuhan is unwilling in his heart, 'kill the enemy together in the future' is obviously to let himself give him a chance to fight a decisive battle against Ruyang." After all, although Han Wunuhan is also a general of the Red Turban Army, he is now pressed in Gushi City by Liu Futong's military order, if there is no Liu Futong's military order, or find someone with enough weight to speak for him, he is not qualified to participate in this decisive battle that must be won. ”

"And if you can't participate in the war, it means that you have no merit, and if you don't have merit, then Han Wunuhan can only be a thousand households, so how can he be willing. To put it bluntly, the current Han Wunuhan just lacks a righteous title, but he happens to have the ability to give him this title. After all, with the credit of his current capture of a state, Liu Futong is obviously impossible to refuse himself for this kind of thing at this time. ”

"And in this matter, I can also get some benefits, because if I help Han Wunuhan, then no matter what, Han Wunuhan will be divided into his own mountain, and he will also become his subordinate ally, and he can also greatly enhance his influence in the Red Turban Army."

So after thinking about this, Zhang Shihua also said to Han Wunuhan with a smile: "In this way, the general will thank General Han." ”

And when Han Wunuhan heard this, he couldn't help but have a touch of joy on his face.

……

In the afternoon, after dealing with Han Wunuhan's affairs, Zhang Shihua saw that it was still early, so he said to Li Wu, a personal guard: "Ah Wu, prepare the horse." Let's go to the armory camp with Ben. ”

When Li Wu heard this, he nodded, and immediately prepared a horse for Zhang Shihua.

As the name suggests, the "Weapons Battalion" is that after Zhang Shihua conquered Xizhou, in order to crack the production method of the weapon of the divine arm crossbow, as well as to study some other advanced weapon production techniques, he specially divided a camp for the craftsmen under his command. The so-called Zhang Shihua takes craftsmen as treasures is actually talking about this matter, because in the ordnance battalion, the master craftsman who is in charge of the construction camp is the same as the deputy in Zhang Shihua's army, and is directly responsible for himself, and is not managed by anyone except himself.

In fact, in the current Yuanmeng Imperial Court, there is an official position called "Wanhufu Zhenfu Division", which is specifically responsible for the management of craftsmen in the army, but Zhang Shihua, a later person, is very clear, in this regard, the most feared is the layman to manage the insider.

The Great Song Dynasty, the civil and military officials, can manage the richest feudal country like the Great Song Dynasty into a small affair, let alone this.

Although this incident made some of the generals under him a little unconvinced, this time Zhang Shihua didn't care about their opinions at all. Because Zhang Shihua firmly believes that how much investment there is, how much will be gained, as long as these craftsmen can crack the sharp weapon of the divine arm crossbow, they can naturally block other people's mouths.

Moreover, in Zhang Shihua's plan, if he can get a suitable piece of land in the future, then these craftsmen are likely to become his weapons for conquering the world in the future. After all, as a traverser, although he is not proficient in gunpowder and iron smelting, he does not believe that with his knowledge beyond the times, vision and these first-class craftsmen, he will not be able to make some advanced decisive weapons at all.

And Zhang Shihua, who had this idea, finally rushed to the military camp in Xizhou City, accompanied by Li Wu and other personal guards. It can be said that because Zhang Shihua pinned great hopes on the ordnance battalion, the defensive strength of the ordnance battalion in this Xizhou city was not weaker than that of the Xizhou official office where Zhang Shihua settled.

Even, strictly speaking, the defense here is stronger than that of the Xizhou official office, because not only is it guarded by 300 fully armed elite soldiers, but also any general except Zhang Shihua would not want to enter the camp gate without Zhang Shihua's warrant.

Therefore, when Zhang Shihua brought Li Wu and them here, those gatekeepers who were guarding outside the ordnance camp immediately greeted them as soon as possible.

"Please stop this general, this is an ordnance camp, the general has an order, and no one is allowed to enter without a warrant from the general." The chief raised his head and said righteously to Zhang Shihua, who came on horseback.

And Zhang Shihua couldn't help but smile when he saw this, after all, he couldn't be dressed in the armor of a general of Wanhu at any time, the weather was so hot, and it was not a march to fight, so Zhang Shihua and Li Wu were naturally in civilian clothes, but they didn't expect that he, the general of Wanhu, would be stopped by his own people because of this incident.

However, when Zhang Shihua saw this, although he didn't mind in his heart, Li Wu behind Zhang Shihua saw this, but he glared at the chief guarding the door and scolded: "Bastard, blind your dog eyes, this is a general, you dare to stop it!" ”

When the chief guarding the door heard this, his face froze, and after raising his eyes and glancing at Zhang Shihua who was smiling, he immediately took the other gatekeepers beside him in horror and bowed down to Zhang Shihua and said: "The villain doesn't know the identity of the general, offending the general, damn it, damn it......"

But when Zhang Shihua saw this, he smiled and said: "Get up quickly!" ”

When the surrounding soldiers heard Zhang Shihua's words, they all stood up from the ground one after another. And Zhang Shihua waited for them to stand up before he asked Nashi Chang, "What is your name?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the words of the general, the villain ...... Villain Chen Hanlang. Nashi was so excited that he stammered and said to Zhang Shihua.

"Chen Hanlang, yes, Ke is a good soldier in his duties. Come, take it, this is for you. Saying that, Zhang Shihua threw the jade pendant on his waist to him.

Seeing this, Chen Hanlang immediately hurriedly took Zhang Shihua's jade pendant in the envious eyes of the people around him, and said to Zhang Shihua with a smirk: "General Xie reward, General Xie reward......

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and rode straight into the ordnance camp.

The ordnance camp is now like a huge weapons production factory, because it has just been established, so as soon as Zhang Shihua took Li Wu and them in, they were greeted by all kinds of noisy and chaotic beatings and shouts.

However, they are used to seeing battlefield battles, and they don't feel too unbearable for this kind of harsh noise, and of course they are not used to it.

But Zhang Shihua's identity is here after all, so as soon as he came in, Yang Xitong, the master craftsman in charge of the weapons camp, hurriedly greeted him.

As a master craftsman under Zhang Shihua and in charge of the entire weapons camp, he naturally knew what Zhang Shihua came here for, so after he saw Zhang Shihua, he directly said to Zhang Shihua respectfully: "Villain...... Xiaguan, meet the general, enlighten the general, the place where the divine arm crossbow was developed is still in the depths, please come with the general. ”

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "It is worthy of being a craftsman all his life, even if he faces himself, he speaks so straightforwardly, and he doesn't beat around the bush at all, but I quite appreciate this style." ”

However, although he thought so in his heart, on his face, Zhang Shihua still smiled and said: "Okay, lead the way." ”

When Yang Xitong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he responded with a "obey the order", then lowered his head, and walked side by side behind Zhang Shihua with a respectful demeanor, leading the way for Zhang Shihua. After all, for Yang Xitong, an old craftsman who has been cautious all his life, respect and humility are always the most important.

In addition to Yang Xitong, the master craftsman, there are only more than ten of the best bow-making and crossbow craftsmen who can touch it, so Yang Xitong has been taking Zhang Shihua into the deepest area of the arsenal camp.

Looking at the area that was divided separately and guarded by special soldiers, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nodded, and said to Yang Xitong: "Yes, the secrecy work is very good. ”

When Yang Xitong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he was not good at words, so he respectfully brought Zhang Shihua and them in.

And after entering, Zhang Shihua looked at the more than a dozen broken divine arm crossbows that had been carefully dismantled and separated by the craftsmen, and a bunch of crossbow making tools that he didn't know, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say directly to Yang Xitong beside him: "Ben Jiang is a layman for these, you just tell Ben General, can you crack the production method of the god arm crossbow." ”

When Yang Xitong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to Zhang Shihua with ups and downs and uneasiness: "General Qiyu, we are incompetent, and we can't make the core of the Divine Arm Crossbow. ”

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he turned around and glanced at the dozen or so bow makers who were also rough and restless and tired, and asked a craftsman with some abruptness: "I haven't closed my eyes and rested for a few days?" ”

"Two ...... Two days. When the man heard Zhang Shihua's words, although he was a little uneasy in his heart, he still replied as soon as possible.

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he sighed and said: "I haven't closed my eyes for two days and two nights, and I still haven't made it." ”

When Yang Xitong and the others heard Zhang Shihua's words, they immediately bowed down to Zhang Shihua with a look of shame and said: "I am incompetent, I am ashamed of the adults, please punish the adults." ”

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he sighed and said, "That's it, that's it." Get up, all of you, and do your best. The matter of the divine arm crossbow is indeed too anxious, you don't need to be too stressed, don't be in a hurry, take your time, the general's time and patience are very sufficient. ”

However, Yang Xitong and the others, who were kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but feel even more ashamed in their hearts when they heard Zhang Shihua's words. After all, as craftsmen, they had no status in the past, and they were even squeezed like pigs and dogs, only Zhang Shihua was extremely considerate to them, and even did not hesitate to end up with a notoriety of curiosity and skillful skills to reuse them, but they couldn't even complete the first thing Zhang Shihua explained.

This result undoubtedly made them feel shameless in their hearts to face Zhang Shihua.

"Be sure to make a divine arm crossbow for adults." Yang Xitong couldn't help but think firmly in his heart at this time.

As for Zhang Shihua, after that, he gathered dozens of outstanding craftsmen in the camp and encouraged these people, and after encouraging these craftsmen, Zhang Shihua was also accompanied by Yang Xitong and prepared to leave the ordnance camp.

However, before leaving, Zhang Shihua said to Yang Xitong: "Old Yang, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days." Rest well, don't get tired, I'm going to have to use you again in the future. ”

When Yang Xitong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and said to Zhang Shihua with a touched face: "Master Xie...... Master Xie, old and decaying...... The old decay will live up to the trust of adults. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua nodded silently, and then rode away with Li Wu and them.

However, Yang Xitong saw Zhang Shihua ride his horse away, and plunged into the development team of the Divine Arm Crossbow.

……

In the weapons camp, after Yang Xitong led people to work for three days in one day, he was extremely tired, and he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the core parts of the divine arm crossbow that he couldn't make.

"Can't you really make a god arm crossbow yourself?" Yang Xitong stared at the graphics of drawing the various parts of the divine arm crossbow with the charcoal invented by Zhang Shihua today, and he was so tired that he couldn't help falling asleep......
