The reason why Ran Tuhu wanted to take refuge in the Ping Han Kingdom was that the Ping Han Kingdom promised to make himself king, and then he also wanted to end this kind of fearful days as soon as possible, take refuge in a country early, and live a stable life for a few days. www.biquge.info Over the years, Ran Tuhu has been fighting everywhere, and after being captured by the Tuliao people, he was treated as a kneeling slave, and then resisted desperately, and has been fighting all over the sixteen states of Yanyun, struggling to survive. To be honest, after all these years, he is really tired.

This time, the two countries simultaneously set their eyes on him and the sixteen states of Yanyun, a land that is now deserted, and sent their own armies. Although he was brave and good at fighting, he was not a fool, and he knew that with the current number of soldiers and horses in his hands, it was impossible to defeat the two families with a combined total of more than 300,000 soldiers and horses. Once the war starts, he is bound to be defeated and die.

If you can't fight, you can only surrender. But Ran Tuhu also knew that no matter which country he threw himself into, he would inevitably provoke a big war at that time.

Now that the two families have withdrawn, it is impossible to start a war in a short period of time, which is actually the best situation for Ran Tuhu, and now he can finally sleep peacefully and rest. Ran Tuhu took a sip of wine and slept the most comfortably in months.

After the affairs of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun came to an end, the northern half of the world was temporarily stable.

Dingbei County, Dingbei Garrison Regiment, Li Deyi has been vigorously organizing personnel to consult ancient books recently, trying to find clues to the production of plate armor and continue his unfinished business. After getting these ancient books from the Pingtang Kingdom, due to the frequent wars, they have never been consulted, and only a small part of them has been opened. Li Deyi had to entrust Li to transport the ancient books back to Dingbei County for later investigation.

After everything was done this time, as soon as Li De got free time, he immediately reorganized several masters of the Dingbei Iron and Steel Academy, as well as the students of the Iron and Steel Academy, to concentrate their efforts and read these ancient books.

This time it was no more than when I was fighting on the front line, when I was in a hurry, and there was a great shortage of manpower. Li Deyi made up his mind this time to find a clue about plate armor from these thousands of ancient books.

Flipping through ancient books sounds easy, but it is particularly difficult to actually operate. First, it has been more than 600 years since the founding of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, and the language has undergone vicissitudes of life during this period, and it is inevitable that there will be changes. Therefore, the person in charge of reading ancient books must know a little bit of ancient Chinese.

Second, it is necessary to know how to forge, which is not difficult, and the masters and students of the Iron and Steel School understand this.

Thirdly, the ancients wrote books 600 years ago, advocating conciseness and conciseness. If you explain this in detail, you can't finish it in a day. Roughly speaking, for example, the Dingbei garrison regiment attacked the Tuliao State, which lasted nearly ten years, dozens of major battles, and countless small battles. It can be described as magnificent, ups and downs, and reverberation.

But if this matter was written into a book by the ancients 600 years ago, it would be 1200 words at most. For example, the Dingbei garrison raised troops to attack the Tuliao State, and from the initial southward support of the Li family to defend Luodu and the suppression of the Western Tuliao tribes, it was the seventh year of Feng'an of Gaozong of the Eastern Ping Zhou Dynasty.

In ancient books, it is most likely written like this.

In the seventh year of Feng'an of Gaozong of Dongping Zhou, the garrison regiment went south. Aid Luodu, cut down the sudden, and won a big victory. Deputy head Li Deyi broke the boulder machine first. The regiment commander Liu Yishou led the turbid river to drown the 60,000 cavalry, and the head of Ashina Blackback was returned, almost annihilating his clan.

In eight years, he attacked the Qiliao Department, beheaded 20,000 golden wolves, and the corpses rested on his pillow, and he set up a view of Beijing. Fight again, defeat the golden wolf again. The battle contract Liao Fan Guoshi, broke one of his arms, and severely defeated tens of thousands of golden wolf riders, bleeding and drifting, and won a big victory.

The two wars, the United Communist Party was just written in Braille.

The ancients wrote books, and they were easy to write. At that time, I didn't pay attention to the number of words, such as writing three thousand and one counting.

However, this has made it difficult for later scholars. Later generations of scholars often omitted some key adjectives because of their ancestors, which led to completely opposite interpretations of the meaning of sentences. In this world, there are still many scholars arguing about one or two sentences of the sages.

Due to the fact that the ancients advocated simplicity in writing books, Li Deyi estimated that there were only a few lines of descriptions of plate armor in ancient books. Therefore, all those who are rummaging through ancient books must keep their eyes open, line by line, word by word, and carefully search for the past, for fear that the slightest negligence will miss it.

In the end, just in time for the year, he finally found a little clue. Three hundred years ago, in the "Dream Creek Writings" written by Shen Kuo, a civil official of the Zhou Dynasty in the former Ping Dynasty, a few lines of description were found.

This Shen Kuo, although he was a civil official, was quite fond of the skills of lowly craftsmen, and often took a pen and paper to draw down the scenes of the craftsmen's work, and described them in detail in words.

What's even more valuable is that although this Shen Kuo is a civil official, he has a lot of research on mathematics, and often adds more detailed numerical explanations when describing the work done by craftsmen.

In this book "Mengxi Writings", Shen Kuo mentions a kind of hydraulic forging hammer and roughly describes some specific values of this hydraulic forging hammer. Because the hydraulic forging hammer had been abandoned for a long time at that time, and the craftsmen did not know how to operate it, although Shen Kuo left an account, the error was extremely large.

The most important thing is that this Shen Kuo added a sentence at the end of the hydraulic forging hammer. It is said that a craftsman once said that although this hydraulic hammer is now abandoned, it was used to make armor. Shen Kuo guessed at the end of the article that the armor that the craftsman was talking about was probably a kind of plate armor during the founding of the Ping Zhou Dynasty.

Li Deyi was overjoyed when he saw these few lines of text! The student was rewarded with fifty coins on the spot.

He thought he could find more written accounts, but until he had consulted all the ancient books, Li Deyi could not find any clues.

In the end, after secretly discussing with the three blacksmiths for several days, and after asking Wang Yigao for detailed questioning, Li Deyi decided to try to make this hydraulic forging hammer first.

Wang Meng saw that Deputy Regiment Commander Li had not personally trained soldiers for many days, and except for going to the officer academy to give lessons to first-class soldiers, he stayed in the steel academy and did not come out. "If you are still not stable today, you should train your troops with your heart, why is Deputy Regiment Commander Li always distracted?"

Before you know it, the year will pass slowly.

At the end of the month, Li Deyi finally came out of the steel school and resumed his normal routine. And the two princes, Zhu Biao and Liu Ying, also successfully ended their positions under Haiqiangxiang, returned to the Dingbei garrison regiment, and reported to Brother Li.

Through the practical training of the past six months, Zhu Biao and Liu Ying have a certain degree of understanding of the daily government operations.

Although Dingbei County is now called a county, it actually manages all the land of one government and six counties, and a large grassland to the north is also under the control of the Dingbei garrison. The number of people in Dingbei County has reached 4 million, and there are many affairs to be dealt with every day. Zhu Biao and Liu Ying have really grown a lot with Hai Qiangxiang, an iron-faced and selfless pro-people official.

has handled a lot of affairs, and Zhu Biao and Liu Ying have added a calm bearing. Now the two of them are talking more organized and clearer.

Li Deyi saw that the two apprentices had changed a lot, and he was also satisfied in his heart.

The end of the wax moon is the year. This year, Dingbei County is particularly lively. The Trade City is no exception, and as the wealthy merchants settle in the Trade City, many shops specializing in high-end goods have also opened in the Trade City.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, many people in Dingbei County will go to the trade city to buy some good things that they don't usually see. For example, purple shirts woven from fine silk, such as "elixir" and "lamb" that are sold for ten silver coins a pot. For example, expensive rouge made from fine agarwood.

These shopkeepers couldn't imagine that in this small Dingbei County, the people were so rich that they could buy things, and they didn't even bargain for the price. Years ago, the merchants in the trade city all made a lot of money. Even the Yi people who live in the trade city are now very wealthy, and they are not soft when they buy New Year's goods.

This year, Li Xiuming took Li Changle and had a good time. When Li Changle was at home, although he was a royal princess, he had never had the opportunity to participate in such a lively scene up close. Every time a grand celebration is held during the folk New Year's Festival, she can only stand on the upper floor of the palace and take a look at the lively New Year's fair on Luodu Street from afar.

No matter how much Li Shiluan loves his daughter, he will not let her come out to make trouble at such an important time as the New Year's Festival. Li Changle can only follow his mother and honestly stay in the harem to celebrate the festival.

This time in Dingbei County, no one cares about her anymore. Li Deyi was very indulgent to Li Changle, except that the war did not allow her to talk much, everything else was up to Li Changle.

For example, although Li Changle is a royal princess, he can't cook at all. Li Deyi has been married until now, and he still eats in the canteen of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment every day, and he has never said a word about Li Changle.

Zhang Lantern celebrates Chinese New Year's Eve, and after the turn of the year, Li Deyi is already 27 years old.

Not long after the year, the Pingtang Kingdom sent the envoy Wei bluntly, under the pretext that the emperor and queen missed Princess Changle, and sent a large number of gifts, more than the batch a year ago.

Although Li Deyi and his senior brother are the concubines of the Ping Tang Kingdom, these two sons-in-law not only never give New Year's gifts to their fathers-in-law, but they also have to receive gifts. And this gift must not only be received in large quantities, but also joyfully received. If the head of Xiao Liu or Li Deyi showed displeasure when he received the gift, the envoy of the Ping Tang Kingdom who came to give the gift would be able to crawl back to Luodu in fright on the spot, crying and telling His Majesty that something is wrong, and that one is going to make trouble again.

After Wei bluntly gave the gift, he said his true intentions. It turned out that Li Shiluan felt that the army was stationed in the sixteen states of Yanyun for a generation, and the loss of money and food was too great, and he wanted to solve the matter completely.

Don't get me wrong, Li Shiluan didn't ask the Dingbei garrison to join him in attacking the Ping Han Kingdom.

Instead, he asked the Dingbei garrison regiment to be a guarantee, and he wanted to negotiate peace with the Pinghan State and withdraw his troops and horses. Li Shiluan intuitively couldn't trust the lord of the Pinghan Dynasty, so he wanted to use the tiger power of the Dingbei garrison to promote peace.

After Wei bluntly explained his intentions, he waited for the reply of the Dingbei garrison regiment.

Old Medical Officer Sun felt that this was a good thing, and it was better for the two countries to negotiate peace and withdraw troops than to fight. Li Deyi believed that a war would inevitably result in deaths and injuries to the people of the two countries, and he was not happy to see this face. Head Liu has no special opinion on this, and agrees with the views of the master and the junior disciple.

A few days later, Wei bluntly said that he successfully completed his mission and happily went back to report to His Majesty.

After Li Shiluan received the consent of the Dingbei garrison, he immediately sent an envoy to Ping Han to ask Emperor Liu Lai's intentions.

Liu Laizheng felt sorry for the money and food in his treasury, but he never expected that someone would send a pillow when he was sleepy. After meeting the envoys of the Ping Tang Kingdom, he convened his ministers to discuss it for a while, and then agreed to this matter.
