"What's going on, senior brother?" Li Deyi asked. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Our people in Luodu City have sent news, Wang Songcheng has learned well this time, and the front has escorted money and grain all the way to us, and there are 5,000 elite soldiers quietly ambushed in the back, all of whom are wearing armor, and they are the most elite troops under him." As he spoke, Dr. Liu gently scratched his fingers on the table, obviously thinking about this elite.

"Elite centaurs? How powerful? Li Deyi has been in Weibei Camp for so long, and it is the first time he has heard of the elite of everyone wearing armor, so he couldn't help but ask. The poor child, accustomed to staying in the poor place of Weibei Camp, has preconceived ideas, and subconsciously thinks that the soldiers and horses in this world are the same as Weibei Camp, and they can't even get together their armor when they go into battle.

Old Doctor Sun muttered: "This group of men and horses has a single name, called Xiao Cavalry Guard, but it is Wang Songcheng's old foundation when he started, and he has followed him to fight for many years. At that time, thanks to this elite army, Wang Songcheng was able to successfully suppress the uprisings of all parties and made great achievements. Wang Songcheng was able to climb all the way to the position of deputy envoy of the Xijing garrison from the earliest battalion commander, in addition to his good at giving gifts and pulling relationships, and tying up important ministers in the court, this elite cavalry guard under his command also added a lot of help to him. If it weren't for the fact that he was ruthless back then, he killed all the rebels who surrendered, and made his reputation for killing prisoners known to everyone in the government and the opposition, and he stinked for 800 miles. He wouldn't have been in the position of deputy envoy of the Xijing garrison for so many years. More than ten years ago, this elite army also participated in the pacification of the Li Rebellion in the southwest, and it can be said that it is the elite of a hundred battles. ”

Mr. Li added: "These 5,000 elite soldiers are all armored, and they are all of the best color of stainless steel Mingguang armor, and the crotch riding are all tall and sturdy Tuliao horses. For his elite personal soldiers, Wang Songcheng is closer to his own son. The money he has made over the years, except for the ones that he has made up and down, has basically filled in this team. ”

Han Jiang interjected: "Although this Wang Songcheng is like an ignorant fool in trouble, he likes to engage in fortune-telling business. I am not confused in this military matter, and I know how to build an elite team. When my old Han went to Luodu City, I also heard that his sons were all gentlemen, and none of them became successful. Spending money on his sons will sooner or later lose the family business, so it is better to invest all the money in this elite army, so that he can protect his wealth for a lifetime. ”

Hearing the two generals say this, Li De's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light: "Five thousand stainless steel bright light armor?!" Can we ......" Medical Officer Xiao Liu raised his hand to give his junior brother, and said angrily: "Don't even think about it, there are mostly recruits in our camp now, and it's okay to pinch soft persimmons, but when you encounter this kind of hard stubble, there is no door." If it is hard, it may break our own front teeth. Look at your appearance that you have never seen the world, and five thousand bright light armors are tempted? I want to ...... our Weibei camp back then"

"Senior brother, I really haven't seen the world. When our Weibei camp was prosperous, didn't I have it," Li De said with one hand covering his head. Medical Officer Xiao Liu was blocked on the spot by the words of his junior brother, and he couldn't say anything after that. Yes, the junior brother was born at the wrong time, and as soon as he came, he caught up with the poorest time in Weibei Camp, although he has lived a little more generously in recent years, it is just a good point to eat, and it is still early to complete the legendary armor.

Mr. Han couldn't help but mutter: "Such a big piece of cake, even if you just gnaw off a little dregs, it's enough for us." Some of those recruits haven't even put on their new uniforms yet. Seeing that the big fat hit in front of me so quickly, if I don't take a bite, my old Han can be uncomfortable for several months! No, we have to find a way, we have to bite him before we can iron it! "I can't complain that the old doctor Sun feels that his little apprentice is so familiar with the kidnapping and blackmailing business, look, the root is here. His little apprentice has been soaking in the big dye vat of Weibei Camp all day long, can he not learn these methods?

Han Jiang always just muttered a sentence casually, but he didn't expect Li Deyi to listen to his heart, his eyes rolled, and he didn't speak when he sat there, so he thought about it. Old Medical Officer Sun looked at the appearance of his little apprentice, and was secretly anxious in his heart, "I obviously worked hard to hand him over the Art of War Battle Array, teach him to cultivate the original qi, and guide him to achieve a heroic and righteous qi." Why is he still getting older and more like Li Youshui back then. This eyeball is dripping and rolling, pondering the little appearance of the ghost idea, which is exactly the same as his third grandfather Li Youshui back then! "Old man, your education has failed, as the saying goes, learn well for three years, and learn badly. Even your big apprentice, Liu Yishou, don't look at him as usual, he is usually serious, he is full of righteousness, and he is mostly scheming when he fights. It's really a critical moment, and the ghost idea is also a bag, otherwise can the noble daughter of the wealthy Li family be earned as a daughter-in-law?

They deliberated for an hour, but they didn't come up with a clue. Old Medical Officer Sun saw that there was no good way for the time being, waved his hand, and let everyone disperse.

After the meeting ended, Li Deyi approached Medical Officer Xiao Liu and asked, "Senior brother, are all the 5,000 elites in Wang Songcheng cavalry?" ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu turned his head and glanced at his junior brother: "This time, you just don't want to be tough, the reason why you were allowed to rush into battle with the 'Humvee' in the past is because the opponents are not armor-piercing." Wang Songcheng's army had only 2,000 ironclad cavalry, all of whom were armoured. Even if you and the 'Humvee' rush in, you won't be able to break their position. I think I'll just return the captives honestly. can get so much money and food for nothing, we have already taken a big advantage this time. If you want to bite his elite bite again, you will be a little greedy and insufficient, and you will be careful to break your teeth. ”

Li Deyi said unwillingly: "Senior brother, that's five thousand iron armor, even if you can only get a hundred pairs of armor, it's amazing." Senior brother, you have to think of a way, Wang Songcheng's team is his baby bump, and he is easily reluctant to take it out. Now he was angry with us, and in anger, he actually sent this elite out to escort the money and food for ransom, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there will be no such store in this village! ”

Doctor Xiao Liu pondered while walking, and finally sighed and said: "There is still no good way, this Wang Ba's shell is too hard, with our current catty two, we can't gnaw on it......" Such a large piece of fat walked in front of him, saying that Xiao Liu Medical Officer didn't want to bite it, it was nonsense. Medical Officer Xiao Liu is now in charge of the military affairs of the Weibei battalion, and as the chief general, he has the burden of the whole battalion, so he must be cautious and steady in making decisions, and proceed from the overall situation. It is impossible to be reckless and hasty like his junior brother, and dare to take the risk of giving it a try if he comes up with an idea.

Li Deyi frowned and asked, "Senior brother, how long will it be before Wang Songcheng's men and horses will step into our realm?" ”

"There are two days at most, so think about it quickly. Otherwise, when this army arrives at the root of our Dingbei County, the terrain is open, and they completely spread the cavalry formation, we can only stare dryly. Xiao Liu reminded. Li De nodded: "Well, let me go back and think about it, think about it." ”

When Li Deyi went to the sword and armor camp to pick up the hammer, he deliberately found the old iron head and asked if we could make our own armor in the Weibei camp now. Hearing the little doctor's question, the old iron head put down the work in his hand and called the apprentice to pick it up. The old iron head led Li Deyi out of the house alone and came to a secluded place. The old iron head squatted on the ground, took out a cigarette pouch from his waist, hung a little tobacco from the earthen tobacco pouch and put it in his head, lit it, took a big puff, and said: "The little medical officer will not tell you that our Weibei camp has not made armor for many years. Since Di Dashuai went, we can't get good iron, and without good iron, we naturally can't get good armor. ”

Li Deyi looked at the appearance of the old iron head, felt that he hadn't finished speaking, and he still hid half of it without saying it, and then said: "Isn't there an iron mine in our Weibei camp now?" Why can't you make good iron? The old iron head took a puff of his cigarette pouch, spit a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Little doctor, let's make do with this iron seedling we found, and it's okay to repair a knife and gun." The newly smelted iron is too miscellaneous to make good steel, and it can't be used to make armor at all. Even if it is barely made, it is still a stabbed and rotten goods, and if you wear such armor to the brothers to fight with others, isn't that harmful? Besides, not only is there no good iron, but you look at our sword and armor battalion, counting the old man and me, there are only four blacksmiths in total. Even if there is enough good iron in the future, if you want to build armor for the whole one, the four of us will not be able to build it. ”

"Don't you still have more than 20 apprentices? How? None of these apprentices can help? ”

"They? It's still early, so it's okay to do the hard work of picking up the sledgehammer, but the small hammer can't pick it up. ”

Hearing this, Li Deyi didn't move. This involves the unspoken rules of the blacksmith industry, there is a saying that "the apprentice of the church, starve the master to death." "When these old blacksmiths teach their apprentices, they don't teach you the real skills at all in the first ten years, they just pick up the sledgehammer every day to exercise your strength. When it comes to the eleventh year, I feel that you have survived all these years as an apprentice, and it is a piece of material, so I will start to teach you to pick a small hammer. When the blacksmith is forging, he needs two people, the master holds the iron tongs in one hand, clamps the iron, and the other hand uses a small hammer to forge it. The blacksmith master made a small hammer mark somewhere in this piece of iron, and then the apprentice picked up the sledgehammer and forged it with all his strength. This work is very laborious, one day the sledgehammer wheel down, let you be a good man with iron, you have to rest three times. There is an old saying that there are three hardships in the world, striking iron, supporting boats, and grinding tofu.

These old blacksmiths refused to pass on their skills to their apprentices at will, on the one hand, in order to keep their jobs, and on the other hand, they were also grinding apprentices. However, even if you survive the first ten years and really want to teach you skills, Master will not really pass on all your skills to you. In order to keep his job and industry status, the master will generally leave two tricks and secrets not to teach, and would rather bury them in the soil with himself than pass them on to his apprentices. This is also a helpless thing, although the blacksmith can eat enough, but in fact, he is still cheap, life is precarious, in order to save his own life, many old blacksmiths finally chose to bring their own mastery into the ground.

Nodding, Li Deyi said with emotion: "I can't complain that I couldn't make a good armor a few days ago, it turns out that our iron can't do it." ”

When the old iron head heard this, he didn't take a puff of cigarette to the ground, he blocked it in his throat, choked and coughed repeatedly, touched the old tears and said, "Little doctor, your piece of iron is the only good piece of iron we have left." They were all left behind after being reluctant to use them in the past years, but they were not the ones we got new. "The rest of the words, the old iron head didn't say anything, you can't make good steel, naturally your villain's level is not good.

Hearing this, he also felt a little embarrassed, and Li Deyi quickly diverted the conversation: "Do we still have the good iron left from before?" Where are they? I don't know. After smoking a bag of cigarettes, the old iron head clicked the smoke pot on the stone slab on the ground, and said: "It's all stable in the warehouse of the logistics camp, and it's easy to be reluctant to take it out." Little doctor, the last time you made that piece, I went to get it myself, where did you use it in the end? ”

Li De opened his mouth, and in the end, he didn't say that he had given it to the "Four Eyes" to wear as armor on the back of his head, and left a sentence: "I'll go to the logistics camp to have a look, you can get busy first." "A puff of smoke ran away.

Trotting all the way, Li De came to the warehouse of the logistics battalion, and walked inside, and the soldiers guarding the door hurriedly came over to stop him and asked, "Little medical officer, what are you doing here?" This is a warehouse land, you ......" The meaning behind it is obvious, and you are not allowed to enter casually. Li De rolled his eyes on the beads, opened his mouth and said, "I came to the treasury on the order of the master to see if there is anything that can be done with Wang Songcheng of Naluo Capital City." With such a reason, the soldier did not dare to stop him any longer, and let Li Deyi step into the storehouse.

If you want to talk about the treasury of Weibeiying, you can really see the shadow of the rich and noble years from here. There are a bunch of them in the east and a lot of them in the west, and they are all good things left over from the year. The rotten flag, which has been gnawed by insects and rats, is made of fine brocade if you look closely. Looking at the very exquisite scabbard, build it up and look at it, deerskin! The bronze inlaid bright hood that was broken to the point that only half was left, and at first glance it was the ancestral armor of a general. It's a pity that this kind of rag is everywhere, and Li Deyi didn't find any good things.

After wandering around in the warehouse for a long time, Li Deyi suddenly found an arrow in a corner, which looked a little familiar. Li Deyi walked over and picked it up, looked carefully at the light at the door, and the soldier who followed behind him explained: "This is a 'blasting arrow' shot by the Tuliao people when they came to attack our Dingbei County four years ago, it may have been broken and did not explode, and Brother Qin, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield at that time, picked it up." This arrow has been sitting here for several years, and we haven't figured out the doorway inside. I really don't know how the Tuliao people did it in the first place, the power of the explosive arrow is really powerful. ”

Holding this broken "explosive arrow" in his hand, Li Deyi thought for a while and shouted: "I have it!" He took the arrow and turned and ran out, and the guard behind him was in charge

The soldiers in the treasury were caught off guard, but where could they catch up with him, they could only shout loudly behind Li Deyi: "That was taken by the little medical officer, but I didn't get it!" You'll have to help me get things out when you get back! ”

Li Deyi took this "explosive arrow", hurriedly jogged, came to the master's place, pushed the door and hurried into the house. Old Doctor Sun was fiddling with the big sand table in the room, and was about to refine it again, when he looked up, his little apprentice came in, and he was still happy. "What's so pleased? Say blow to the teacher. ”

Li Deyi replied happily: "Master, I have a way." ”

Old Medical Officer Sun has been in a good mood recently, he accepted Li Deyi as an apprentice, but it was because of the incense left by Li Youshui back then, and he was honestly not optimistic about this kid who grew up in the mountains. Unexpectedly, a few years have passed, and this little apprentice has become more and more promising. Although it is a little crooked now, it is more and more like his third grandfather Li Youshui. Don't forget, although Old Medical Officer Sun disagrees with Li Youshui on his lips, he admires him tightly in his heart, otherwise he would not have worshiped Li Youshui back then and married Jinlan. Old Medical Officer Sun had subconsciously taken Li Deyi, a little apprentice, very seriously in his heart, so as soon as he heard him say that he had an idea, Old Medical Officer Sun immediately became interested.

Li De took out the "explosive arrow" from behind him like a treasure and put it on the table. "Master, senior brother said that we don't expect to come hard, how about we come soft? Use this 'exploding arrow' to exchange with Wang Songcheng's soldiers and horses for iron armor! Do you think you can do it? ”

As soon as the old medical officer Sun saw the arrow taken out by his apprentice, he knew that it was a burst arrow from the Tuliao people, raised his head to look at Li Deyi and said, "This is a 'burst arrow'. Since the Tuliao people relied on this arrow, it only took less than two months to break through 13 large and small passes in the Zhou Dynasty, shocking the world. Since then, all the great families in the world have begun to work hard to figure out the doorway in this 'explosive arrow', and to find out its details. But the arrow in our hands is broken, and if we want to change Wang Songcheng's iron armor, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the division. ”

Li Deyi said with a smile: "I didn't plan to be so stupid and directly exchange with Wang Songcheng." Master, do you think this will be done? Li Deyi leaned into the master's ear and whispered carefully.

Old Medical Officer Sun frowned when he first heard this, but when he got to the back, he became happy again, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, where did you come up with these ghost ideas." Okay, just do as you say. You go back and talk to your senior brother about your ideas, and then listen to your senior brother, and leave this matter to the two of you. ”

After dark, Li Deyi found his senior brother Xiao Liu, who had just finished training soldiers and was resting in the house, when Li Deyi knocked on the door and entered the house. As soon as he told his senior brother about his method, Medical Officer Xiao Liu immediately became interested, and pulled his junior brother and said, "Let's go, if you want to get good wine, you have to go to Mr. Han, he keeps and hides the best goods there." ”

Li Deyi followed behind his senior brother and asked, "Senior brother, how do you know that Mr. Han has good wine there?" Xiao Liu said with a sneer: "Every time Master runs out of wine, he will."

Go to Han and ask for it. Mr. Han always went to Luodu City a few years ago, and he has always been in charge of the logistics grain and grass of our Weibei camp, but he took advantage of the convenience to steal a lot of good wine to come home. Li Deyi seemed to be in disbelief: "Huh?! Usually looking at Han Jiang's life so spoiled, is he willing to buy good wine? That's going to cost a lot of money. ”

Doctor Xiao Liu said with a smile as he walked: "Han Jiang is not good for anything else, just this cup of things." Although he is a good wine, he never drinks too much, and he never drinks those inferior turbid wines, only drinks good wine, and only drinks three cups at a time, three times a day. ”

Li Deyi was surprised: "Han Jiang was reluctant to even change his clothes, but he didn't expect that the money would be spent on wine." Now our life is much better, but he still refuses to change his old clothes, and I still think that he is used to living a poor life, and he is reluctant, so he used it to buy good wine. The two of them found Mr. Han's residence all the way, and as soon as they entered the house and told him his idea, Mr. Han immediately collapsed, and shook his head simply. No matter what Dr. Xiao Liu said well, he just refused to take out the wine he had hidden.

Gritting his teeth, Li Deyi grabbed Han Jiang's arm and said, "Han General, when Wang Songcheng's men and horses come in two days, their leader will definitely be wearing the best stainless steel Mingguang armor, which is definitely much stronger than ordinary soldiers." After I get it, I'll call the shots and give you this set of armor, what do you think? As soon as Mr. Han heard this, he stopped talking, lowered his head and pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, he brewed it, good wine can be bought, but good armor has money and no place to buy it, this business is done by my old Han!" After speaking, Han reached out and groped around for a long time, and took out an iron key.

Li De looked carefully, and Han Jiang agreed happily, but the hand holding the key kept shaking.

"You two turn your heads, don't look at it, don't follow up, or it's over!" When Mr. Han opened his secret cellar, he still didn't forget to go back and ask him.

Han moved out of a jar of good wine, Li Deyi shook his head, Han moved out of a jar again with gritted teeth, and Li Deyi still shook his head. Moved to the third altar, Han Jiang always said that he would not take anything out again. Li De opened his mouth and persuaded: "Mr. Han, the more wine you take out, the more stainless steel Mingguang armor we can get in two days, this is a one-shot deal." If you miss this time, and you want to get some steel armor again, you don't know how long it will be, but you have to think about it. ”

Gritting his teeth and pondering for a long time, Han Jiang always sighed: "Old Han, I am in your hands today." That's it, I'm also out of it, isn't it just wine! With these armors, we can't get good wine anywhere! As he spoke, he lifted himself up and fumbled for the iron key, and opened the door of the secret cellar.

Li Deyi clearly heard Han Jiang constantly muttering in the back: "Only with good armor can you win the battle, and only after winning the battle can you have money to buy good wine." Good wine can't be exchanged for good armor, good wine can't be exchanged for good wine......" Li Deyi glanced at his senior brother helplessly, and it took a lot of effort for both of them to hold back their laughter.

When the wine was good, he went to Wang Zhuangbiao and asked him to start preparing a good banquet in advance. Wang Zhuangbiao was much happier, as soon as Li De said his idea, Wang Zhuangbiao slapped his big belly on the mountain, and without saying a word, he agreed directly. Immediately, he pulled out a beef cow that he had snatched from the Tuliao people, and said that he would make it at the banquet the day after tomorrow, and make a whole cattle banquet.

The next day, the Xiao cavalry guards sent by Wang Songcheng escorted the money and grain all the way, and stepped into the territory of Weibei Ying. When they got here, everyone became nervous and began to be on guard. After all, the Weibei camp has a criminal record, and last time he dared to tear up the holy decree of the imperial court in front of him and start fighting directly, and this time he may not be ambushed somewhere.

It didn't take long to walk, and sure enough, I met the men and horses of the Weibei camp. I saw that the Weibei Camp was waving flags today, and the people and horses were neat, and they had to list the dignified array.

Seeing this scene, the men and horses sent by Wang Songcheng were worthy of his elite old foundation, and when they saw this scene, they reacted quickly, directly put on a posture to meet the enemy, and slowly pressed up.
