Twenty days after the funeral, Dong Zhuo left the ranch and turned back to Hedong.

After all, he is an official of the imperial court, and it is inconvenient to stay at home for too long. This time I made a special trip home for my daughter's funeral, and I don't know what kind of reaction those Qingliu celebrities will have. Dong Zhuo knew very well in his heart that he should be more careful now.

The biggest gain is to get along with my son.

When Dong Zhuo left, he always had a happy smile on his face. Mrs. Dong Hua left with Dong Zhuo, and she was unwilling to live in Lintao anymore. Here is the daughter's grave, which will arouse her heart; Dong Yuan also followed Dong Zhuo, after all, she was already *, and she and her husband were always separated, she didn't feel anything, but Li Ru might not be happy.

Dong Huang is not suitable for staying.

Dong Zhuo still loves this nephew very much, but no matter how much he loves, it is not his flesh and blood. Everything in the ranch was handed over to the old lady, which was actually equivalent to handing it over to Dong Li. Dong Huang has a small talent, but sometimes he ...... Dong Zhuo didn't dare to guarantee that if he provoked Dong Yan again one day, whether he could survive or not would be a big question.

He was accompanied by Yadan, Huang Dao, Hu Chi'er and other generals and three thousand iron horsemen.

Niu Fu continued to stay in Lintao and stepped up military training. As for the reason, Dong Zhuo didn't say, and Niu Fu didn't ask. This is also the main factor for Dong Zhuo's heavy cattle assistance. What should be known and what should not be known, Niu Fu knew very well in his heart. Dong Zhao was left in the Dong Mansion in Lintao, responsible for taking care of Niu Fu and dealing with some trivial matters.

After everything was arranged, Dong Zhuo left with some reluctance.

Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he really hoped that Dong Li could go back to Hedong with him. The words that father and son have spoken in the past thirteen years add up to no more than twenty sentences. Now that the relationship is improving, he also wants to do his father's responsibilities well. But he also understood that what Dong Li said was not wrong: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. The chicks who stay under the wings of the eagle will never be able to spread their wings and soar in the sky. When the son is older, all he can do when Lao Tzu is a man is to provide him with a piece of sky.

So, Dong Zhuo asked Dong Yuan to hand over all the private soldiers left in Lintao to Dong Li, and asked Niu Fu to provide as much as possible if Ah Chou needed. If Lintao has difficulties at home, he can tell Hedong directly, and he, Lao Tzu, will find a way.

However, there are also people who are unhappy.

After a short contest with Dong Li at the banquet, Hua Xiong has always wanted to try Dong Li. However, due to the funeral of Dong Yu, Dong Yu did not have time to compete with him. After that, Dong Zhuo took Dong Yu with him all day long, so that Hua Xiong couldn't speak. Now that he is leaving, although Hua Xiong knows that he will meet Dong Li, he can't help but feel regretful in his heart.

******

The July sun was very hot, and Dong Li asked people to plant a row of pine trees next to the eldest sister's grave, while he lived next to the grave.

At this time, people did not have as many rules as in the later Tang and Song dynasties.

According to the rules of his hometown, Dong Li decided to guard Qiqi in front of his sister's grave, and then prepared to leave for the Central Plains to travel.

He sat in the house, holding a scroll of the art of war and reciting.

Next to it, Lu Yi copied what he was reading, and outside the house, an unknown wildflower bloomed on the edge of the tomb, swaying gently in the wind, as if listening to Dong Li's reading. Dong Tie sat outside the house, sharpening his folding iron knife.

The sound of Qiang Qiang is combined with the sound of reading, but it has another taste.

The sound of horses' hooves interrupted the reading, and a purebred Dawan horse rushed up from under the hill like a gallop.

"Lu'er, let's see who's coming?"

Dong Li sat firmly on the seat, and after finishing to Lu Yi, he continued to read the book of war.

Lu Yi got up and walked out of the house. After a while, she walked into the house with Dong Zhao, "Childe, it's Dong Zhao here." ”

"Good news, good news, good news!"

Dong Li put down the bamboo slips, "What's the good news?" ”

"Chopping the horse sword, chopping the horse sword made ......"

"Oh?"

"After the water quality was improved, Master Pu and they worked day and night, and finally met your requirements, breaking the armor with one sword. The first batch of swords has been released, a total of five hundred. There are also corresponding armors, a total of 300 sets, Master Pu asked the lord to go and inspect it. ”

Dong Li's eyes narrowed into a slit, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Those who knew him well knew that such an expression showed that he was very happy. Sure enough, Dong Yan immediately got up, "Lu'er, put away the things that were sorted out today, and then send them to grandma for safekeeping." Well, remember to go and find Pei Yuanshao. ”

"Got it!"

Lu Yi agreed, and began to clean up the paper on the case.

Dong Li and Dong Zhao came out of the house, untied the reins of the elephant dragon from the tree, turned over and whistled after getting on the horse.

In the distance, the violent neighing of the lion-mane beast was heard, and the sound of thunderous hooves came from far and near, as if hundreds of war horses were galloping.

After returning to Lintao, Dong Li completely herded the sheep of the lion-mane beast and let it run freely in the pasture.

Anyway, the people who live in the ranch also know that the lion's mane beast is the lifeblood of Dong Li, and if you move it with a single hair, Dong Li will definitely go berserk. is still unsociable, still living as usual, but Ugly can gallop more refreshingly.

This is also what Dong Yu wants.

Only the ugly who retains his wild nature is the most ideal mount in his mind.

The lion-mane ran up to the hill, shaking its head. Dong Yan patted its head, "Guard it for me here." ”

With a snort, the lion-mane beast agreed and crawled down beside Dong Yu's grave.

"Xiao Tie, look at the things in the house, Lu'er will go to see grandma in a while, and you will protect her to go with you."

"Whoa!"

Dong Tie put away the folding iron knife and stood at the door of the house to intervene.

Dong Li urged the horse and Dong Zhao to gallop towards the stockade in the distance. The two stopped their horses at the gate of the stockade, and Dong Li strode into the stockade.

Dong Zhao consciously stopped at the gate of the stockade and beckoned the soldiers who were already heavily armed around him to be on guard.

"Lord, the villain is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

As soon as Master Pu saw Dong Li coming over, he immediately stepped forward. On the shelves of the shed, there is a row of sharp swords. The four-foot blade is all the same, and the handle is more than a foot long, bare without any decoration, but it exudes a dignified atmosphere.

Dong Li didn't say a word, and stepped forward and picked up the sword of chopping horses.

"Where's the armor?"

Someone had already prepared the armor, Dong Yan walked over and raised his knife with one hand to slash down. The two layers of leather armor inlaid with iron nails were split into two pieces at once. The knife edge is still the same, and the cold is pressing. Dong Li's fingers flicked the spine of the knife, and he heard a soft sound of the bell, which continued slowly, and seemed to have an echo. couldn't help it, he shouted: "It's really a good knife!" ”

"My lord, this time a total of 506 Baipi Treasure Knives, 876 spears, 317 pairs of cuff armor, 400 tweezers, and 1,000 shields have been created. In addition, according to the prompts of Miss Teng Li'er, Xiao'er designed two kinds of armor...... Lord, please see, this is called Liangdang armor, which is the name given by Teng Li'er girl, and after experiments, it is more conducive to cavalry fighting flexibly on horses; This armor is called horse armor, and it is armor specially designed for war horses. ”

Dong Yan is not very clear about these, but he knows that a good pair of armor can greatly improve the chance of survival on the battlefield. At the moment when he was about to appreciate, his eyes fell on the body of the horse armor, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The design of this horse armor is very strange, and someone brought a Xiliang war horse and put the horse armor on it.

Dong Li's eyes couldn't help but narrow, how did this look look similar to the kind of heavy cavalry equipment he had seen on TV in his previous life. The horse armor almost protected most of the horse's body, and only a pair of eyes could be seen. I don't know if it was intentional, or Pu Yuan carved a pattern of skeletons on the armor for fun.

When Dong Qi got on his horse and galloped, the mirror-like armor refracted in the sun. The skulls on the armor rose and fell with the horse's body, as if they wanted to rush out, adding a bit of murderous aura to the horse's charge.

Dong Yan couldn't help but gasp.

On the battlefield, if such an iron cavalry appears, the number is not too much, a few thousand is enough, and it can play a key role. Dong Li didn't know the art of war in his previous life, but in this life, he grew up watching the war book and strategy, and immediately realized the mystery.

"Dong Qi, come back!"

He turned to Master Pu and said, "This armor is also Pu Yuan's design?" Where is he? Let him come to me at once. ”

suddenly changed his face, which startled Master Pu.

"Wait a minute, lord......"

He turned around and ran towards the station in the distance, but he didn't know why Dong Li suddenly summoned Pu Yuan.

At this time, Pei Yuanshao and Teng Lier also came.

Dong Yan asked Dong to abandon his horse and walked over to gently stroke the cold armor, but he had a different thought in his heart.

After a while, Pu Yuan followed Master Pu with sleepy eyes. Seeing Dong Li, Pu Yuan was about to salute, but when he saw Dong Li, he said: "Pu Yuan, you designed this horse armor?" ”

"Hmm......"

"How many sets have you built?"

"Ten sets...... Lord, although this kind of horse armor is exquisite, it consumes too many materials and is not suitable for large-scale application. ”

On Pu Yuan's chubby face, the drowsiness disappeared suddenly.

Instead, there was a serious expression, "The villain once asked Miss Teng to try it, this set of horse armor weighs a total of eighty catties, and first of all, the requirements for horses are very high." At the same time, it is powerful when charging, but once you don't have enough distance, you can't show enough power. If the lord wants to equip it on a large scale, I'm afraid it's a bit unlikely. ”

Dong Li smiled, "When will I be equipped on a large scale?" Pu Yuan, and you all listen, this kind of horse armor must be kept secret and must not be spread. In addition, the Liangdang armor must also be kept secret, and all the items produced here in the future must be kept secret. ”

Pu Yuan's eyes lit up, and Dong Li specifically named him, which showed that ......

"Pu Yuan, you did a good job, I want to reward you. What rewards do you want? As long as I can do it, I will be satisfied. ”

That Pu Yuan hesitated, "Lord, please wait." ”

He turned and ran, toward his residence. Dong Yan was stunned, but immediately smiled.

"Master Pu, I need you to continue to build these weapons for me. You have done a good job this time, and as long as the people in this village can make achievements, I will not treat you badly. Well, from now on, this stockade will be called a battalion, independent as an army, and only obey my orders. Master Pu, I have appointed you to be a master craftsman, and he will report to my father one day and arrange a birth for you. Teng Li'er, pass my orders. Let all those who work in the camp be called craftsmen, and all those in the pasture shall not be rude to them...... Master Pu, you work hard, I, Dong Li, swear, I will live up to you and others. ”

This sentence brought tears to the eyes of the craftsmen around him.

Master Pu knelt down and kowtowed: "We are willing to die for the Lord!" ”

At this time, Pu Yuan returned. He was holding an iron box in his hand, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
