As soon as he approached the blacksmith shop, Zhang Fei stepped into the four-door open shop, and looked up to see the farm tools and some sharp daggers hanging on the wall on both sides. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and at this time, a choking hot breath came from the curtain in the shop, which made Zhang Fei unconsciously cover his mouth and nose.

In the blacksmith shop, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy wearing a cyan collared robe, with a pair of uncolored eyes, looked at Zhang Fei who entered the door in surprise, "Brother Yide, are you here?" ”

"Well, Huzi, where is your father?" Zhang Fei asked skillfully, the young man in front of him was named Wang Hu, the son of the white blacksmith of the shop, and the blacksmith Wang was also like Zhang Fei's father, both of whom were outsiders and settled in Zhuo County.

Huzi replied while wiping a dagger in his hand, "My father is striking iron in the back, Brother Yide, do you have something to do?" ”

Zhang Fei came to Huzi and nodded, "There is something to do, let Uncle Bai help me with something." ”

"Oh, then I'll call my dad out," the white tiger said and put down what he was holding, and ran inside. ”

No one knows what the white blacksmith's real name is, but his iron-striking skills are extraordinary. If the ordinary blacksmith in Zhuo County makes ordinary farm tools, if it can only be used for three months, then the white blacksmith's farm tools are at least half a year, and the skill ratio is more than twice as high, so the white blacksmith's shop is quite patronized by the people of Zhuo County. And Zhang Fei is one of them, and the martial arts equipment at home is all handled by the white blacksmith, so Zhang Fei also trusts the white blacksmith more.

After a while, a middle-aged man lifted the curtain and walked from the inside. A dark face, a Chinese face, a burly body, the arms that come out of the **** bulge thick muscles, and a leather skirt made of cowhide hanging on the body.

"Boy Zhang, what are you doing this time?" The white blacksmith with black charcoal on his face grinned.

Zhang Fei said to the white blacksmith in front of him with a bitter face, "Uncle Bai, I'm already sixteen, can you stop treating me as a child in the past!" ”

The white blacksmith waved his hand and said disdainfully, "You kid, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, you are not a little child, tell me, what's the matter!" Seeing this, Zhang Fei could only helplessly, took out a few drawings drawn overnight yesterday from his arms and handed them to the white blacksmith.

The white blacksmith took a pile of drawings, looked at the drawings one by one, and spent a cup of tea, Wang blacksmith took out a few drawings in his hand, and read the requirements written on the drawings, "Leng Yan saw, the knife is nine feet five inches long, weighs eighty-two pounds, and the blade must be inlaid with a dragon swallowing the moon; Eight snake spears, the spear shaft is one zhang long, the spear tip is eight inches long, the blade is double-edged, like a swimming snake, weighing sixty-three; , Mingguang armor is composed of helmet, body armor, cuirass, back armor, belt and shawl, and battle skirt. ”

The white blacksmith twisted his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face, "Boy Zhang, these two weapons and armor are you going to use,"

"Well, Uncle Bai, there is a problem?" Zhang Fei asked cautiously.

"No problem," said the white blacksmith, "I know that your arm strength is amazing, and you are born with divine power, and you can use both the cold and the snake spear." It's just that the armor you drew seems to have surpassed the armor of the generals of the imperial court," said the white blacksmith with a smile.

"Hehe", Zhang Fei laughed dryly, and hurriedly changed the topic, for fear that the white blacksmith would dig deeper, "Uncle Bai, just say if you can build it, I can't tell you anything else!" ”

The white blacksmith pondered for a while and said, "The old rule, leave a deposit of 30 gold, and come back in twenty days!" ”。

"Okay, Uncle Bai, I'll ask Uncle Zhang to send it to you later, I'll go first!" Zhang Fei ran out with a smoke. Only the white blacksmith's swarthy face smiled meaningfully.

On the second day, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Zheng went straight to the manor outside the city, Zhang Fei was very satisfied with the manor that Zhang Lin was looking for, the manor covers an area of dozens of acres, except for one-third for habitation, the rest are all empty vacant land.

"Second brother, this manor is good, but it is a good place to train soldiers," Guan Yu nodded appreciatively.

"That's not it", Zhang Fei's chest burst with pride, as if the Jin Ge Iron Horse was in front of him, and said impatiently, "Big brother, immediately issue a notice, let's recruit some Zhuang Ding in this manor, so as to deal with the next thing." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Fei ordered the manor to be Sihaizhuang, and at the same time issued a notice to convene Zhuang Ding, with excellent conditions, two strings of five baht per month, three meals with meat, and a full meal! ”

Simple and tempting notices spread all over the nearby villages, in recent years, the imperial court has imposed heavy silk taxes layer upon layer of oppression, resulting in most of the poor people selling fields, land, children, daughters, and wives, when Zhang Fei's notice was posted, the nearby people came one after another, Zhang Fei's heroic name has long been famous in Zhuo County, therefore, most of the people gathered in Sihaizhuang.

"Childe, the people around here have all poured over, do you think we still only recruit 500 people?" Zhang Zheng looked at the nearby people crowded in front of Sihaizhuang and asked.

"Just 500 people, don't have more, rather lack than abuse," Zhang Fei waved his hand, in line with the spirit of seeking refinement.

"No, Childe, I'll let someone arrange it." After Zhang Zheng finished speaking, he went to the outside. After a while, Zhang Jian stood on a small high platform made of wooden planks and shouted on it, "Folks, everyone be quiet, be quiet. ”

After the crowd stopped being noisy, Zhang Kai continued on the high platform, "Sihaizhuang recruits Zhuang Ding for 2,000 yuan per month, and eats meat every month. ”

The crowd boiled, and the wolf howled and shouted, but someone still asked if it was true or not! In the face of these people's suspicions, he opened the corners of his mouth and showed a smile, "Lift it out!" ”

Three large boxes were lifted out of Sihaizhuang, and under the puzzled eyes of everyone, the three boxes were opened, and in the sun, a piece of copper light shone, and the boxes were filled with scattered money, and the eyes of those who watched showed greed.

"Okay," Zhang Zheng waved his hand and said in a loud voice, "Now those who want to participate in the selection of Zhuang Ding stand on the left, and those who don't want to participate can withdraw, and Sihaizhuang will never force others." ”

There were more than 1,000 people standing in front of the open space of Sihaizhuang, and everyone's expressions were full of fierce fighting spirit, and there was no trace of withdrawal.

"Okay," Zhang Zheng grinned, "Since you haven't quit, then turn around and run in the circle of Sihaizhuang, before you shout stop, whoever is single will be eliminated, and now start running." ”

Two quarters of an hour later, more than a thousand people were eliminated by hundreds, and at this time there were still hundreds of people resting in the open space. Zhang Fei walked over and said, "Zhang Kai, let the eliminated people each receive 30 big coins to go back, and the rest of the people will continue to pick until there are 500 people left." ”

"Childe, do you still have to give money if you are eliminated?" Zhang's eyes widened, and there was an incredible look in his eyes.

"Well, give 30, you can't let others run for nothing," Zhang Fei nodded, and Guan Yu on the side bowed slightly.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Jing carried out the next step of training, and finally left 500 people, and the rest of the eliminated people were sent 30 pieces each. The 500 people who remained were full of pride and looked at the departing people, especially those with envy in their eyes.

Next, Zhang Jing registered 500 people one by one, and recorded all their home addresses. Zhang Kai, who was on the high platform, said, "Next, let the owner of Sihaizhuang speak." ”

After Zhang Fei took the stage, he stared at the audience with sharp eyes, "They all give me spiritual points, and I don't know what they look like." ”

Under Zhang Fei's tiger power, the selected Zhuang Ding was in good spirits, after all, Zhang Fei was their owner, and if he offended Zhang Fei, he lost his job.

Zhang Fei, who had a straight face, said solemnly on the high platform, "Don't think that you can be complacent if you are selected, in my place, you don't have to do anything else, only train, train as much meat as you eat, wait for each person to receive three months' wages and go back, and come to Sihaizhuang to gather tomorrow morning." ”

"Owner, can you get paid without working?" Someone asked boldly.

Zhang Fei stared at the man, "Yes." Then he smiled sinisterly, "If you run away with your wages, your roster is in my hands!" ”

Looking at the expressions of those people, Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Just kidding, if someone runs away with money, I, Zhang Fei, consider myself unlucky and unladylike." ”

The next day, the 500 people who received three months' wages returned to Sihaizhuang, and on the high platform, Guan Yu looked at the 500 people and remembered that he and Zhang Fei discussed training last night.

Zhang Fei's concept is to build an army with strict military discipline, so that military orders are like mountains, rather than a group of rabble with loose military discipline, so Zhang Fei's ideal elite soldiers are to conquer, defend and win.

Therefore, last night Zhang Fei said a few words hovering in Guan Yu's mind, and in the early morning half an hour, Guan Yu trained 500 people to take a break, stand upright, and walk right.

The more Guan Yu practiced, he admired Zhang Fei's method, Zhang Fei's methods are to start with the simplest, not like the Han army can be lined up in a horizontal column, holding a sword and dare to pull out to fight, this is not a war at all, but to die, although the elite soldiers are experienced in blood and fire growth, but the basic training is the foundation, a high-rise building, if the foundation is not laid, sooner or later it will collapse, and it will not be one or two people who will be injured at that time.

After throwing the training to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei slipped out of Zhang's mansion alone, looking for the addresses of the two great families in Zhuo County, along the way Zhang Fei asked around, and it took more than half an hour to find the addresses of the two great families of Su and Zhang.

In Zhang's mansion, Zhang Fei summoned Zhang Lin and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how much grain did you buy?" ”

Zhang Lin pondered and said, "Master, I have received 300 stones now, and now I am in the mansion, as for the nearby counties, I have sent people to buy them, but,"

"Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?" Zhang Fei hurriedly asked.

"Master, in the past few days, sending people to collect grain has attracted the attention of nearby merchants, and the price of grain is being raised, about one layer higher than in the past.

"That's it!" Zhang Fei touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Collect, collect as much as you can." However, this grain and grass should not be harvested in Zhuo County, you can go to Fanyang County, Youbeiping, Yuyang and other counties to buy, where the news should not have reached for the time being! ”

Zhang Lin nodded, which was considered to be a response.
