"General Bao, this knife is very light, but I don't know if this blade is so light and thin, can withstand long-term use on the battlefield." Liu Feng's ten captains heard Liu Feng's previous question, so he hurriedly replied.

"Pick up the knives you were holding on the ground, slash each other ten times, and see how they change?" Liu Feng smiled indifferently and said to him.

The ten masters got Liu Feng's order, and hurriedly picked up the knife on the ground, held it in his left and right hands, and used all his strength to cut each other more than ten times in front of everyone before stopping.

After chopping, when he looked at the two knives in his hand again, his eyes showed surprise, and at this time, Wei Yan and Li Chuang were standing in front of them, and found that the sergeant's face was different, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward, wanting to find out.

The two of them took a look, and the originally equipped cast iron knife was already staggered on the blade at this time, with a lot of gaps, while the steel knife had no gaps at all.

"This knife is really a real combat weapon! It's comparable to the long knife that I asked the blacksmith in Xiangyang City to forge for several days a few years ago! Wei Yan looked at it, took the steel knife in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but admire.

"It took Wen Chang more than ten days to build, and now only yesterday and one day, I have built more than 400 steel knives, the quality and size are the same, I don't know if you still have any objections to what you said before the seal?"

Liu Feng's remarks made everyone look at each other, they naturally knew what it meant for these more than 400 steel knives of such quality to be built in one day, even if Liu Feng wanted to equip all these more than 3,000 people, as long as the pig iron was enough, it could be completed within a few days, and this weapon was so sharp and durable, the improvement of the combat power of these sergeants was not a star.

"Ziwei's thoughts, it is really not very comparable, we can meet such a famous master, it is really a blessing for us, if Ziwei has such thoughts in the future, just tell us to implement it, we will have no intention of refutation!"

Pang Tong was the first to speak, affirming Liu Feng's actions, his mind was extremely transparent, and at a glance he knew what Liu Feng's intention was to gather all the people under his command here, so he took the lead in speaking, so that Liu Feng could put his mind at ease. And what Liu Feng did this time, he actually forged more than 400 steel knives overnight, Pang Tong really didn't expect it, and he never thought that Liu Feng would improve his combat power from here first.

"If you can really do what Mr. Shiyuan said, thank you very much! The reason why Feng gathered you here is to say the words of the Feng family to you, blacksmiths, tailors and other craftsmen, in Feng's view, it is the foundation of the rise of a party's power, and it is also the foundation of the country. ”

After listening to Liu Feng's words, everyone looked at the steel knife shining with cold light on the ground, how could there be any more rebuttal in their hearts, and they all bowed down with their fists in their hearts, and said in their mouths: "We must work together with General Ziwei!" ”

The replacement of weapons can have such an effect, Liu Feng is very satisfied, because he knows that the concept of the people is not changed overnight, just a small test of Liu Feng's knife, and when he has a stable rear, a single weapon improvement can teach his subordinates to increase their combat strength.

At the moment, Liu Feng replaced the weapons of his three hundred personal soldiers with new steel knives, and Liu Bei's temporary deployment of the three thousand men and horses, Liu Feng was not in a hurry, just because with Liu Bei's current strength, once he won Jingzhou, he would definitely take back the three thousand military horses, if Liu Feng wanted to expand his power, he still wanted to start with these three hundred personal soldiers and gradually expand, if this matter was made with great fanfare, it would be known to Zhuge Liang in the future, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not understand what Liu Feng thought.

This matter is over, Liu Feng returned to the mansion and looked at the map of the nine counties of Jingxiang, thinking about how to hold the land of Nanjun steadily, in order to have a future effect, suddenly someone came to report, Cao Ren sent a messenger to Liu Feng to write a war book, at this time the messenger had already left the war book and left alone.

As soon as Liu Feng heard this, his heart moved, if it was true that Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to attack Nanjun, what would be the use of the war book, Cao Ren could directly come to the city, the soldiers and horses did not arrive, and the war book arrived first, most likely because Cao Cao was afraid of Cao Zhi in Liu Feng's hands, and remembered the agreement reached with Liu Feng on Huarong Road before, so he would send a letter in the name of the war letter.

Liu Fengden opened the letter, sure enough, it was written by Cao Cao himself, and the letter had already stated that Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to be the main general, Cao Hong as the deputy general, and stationed troops in Yiling County, and would attack Jiangling in a big way in the near future, but because of Cao Zhi's safety, Cao Ren and the two would not attack with all their might.

At the end of the letter, Cao Cao said that when the war was clear, he hoped that Liu Feng would return Cao Zhi to Cao Cao's side unharmed.

Although Cao Cao's threat is half-true and half-false, but Liu Feng can not be underestimated, with Cao Cao's cherishment of Cao Zhi, if Cao Zhi's life is damaged, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to spare Liu Feng, and Cao Cao also knows that this expedition, morale has been lost, Jingzhou must not be defended, in fact, it is already a retreat, this fashion is sticking to it, but because if you can't get a little victory and then retreat, the face is really ugly.

Liu Feng read it, then burned the letter, at this time, Liu Bei also sent a messenger to report, Cao Cao has already laid out a line of defense in Jingzhou, west from Yiling, with Cao Ren as the main general, east to Hefei County, with Zhang Liao as the main general, Cao Cao personally lived in Xiangyang, and sent Xiahou to Runan, four teams of people and horses totaled about 300,000, echoing each other from afar, blocking the Sun and Liu coalition forces in the south.

According to Liu Bei's instructions, if you want to obtain the entire territory of Jingzhou at this time, you must obtain the various counties before Zhou Yu defeats Cao Cao's army, so there is no extra man to assign to Liu Feng, so Liu Feng will defend Nanjun with these more than 3,000 people, and then use Cao Zhi as bait to lure Cao Ren's army away.

Liu Feng informed Pang Tong and Xu Shu of Liu Bei's order, and immediately showed that he did not want to just defend the heart of Nanjun, Jingzhou has a total of nine counties, if Liu Feng can not personally lead the army to capture several counties at this time, his merits will not be outstanding, and when it is divided, it will not be able to obtain many benefits.

"Nanjun is what we get, Zhou Yu must not be at ease, and in addition to Nanjun, Jiangxia is the closest to Jiangdong, presumably Zhou Yu and Uncle Liu Huang are fighting against Cao Cao's army on the one hand, and they are fighting for the land of Jiangxia County, if they get Jiangxia, they can attack and retreat and defend, which is equivalent to winning half of Jingzhou!"
