Hearing that the master was in a hurry, Li Deyi immediately restrained his smile, followed behind the senior brother honestly, and came directly to the master. Entering the door, Master and Old Doctor Sun were fiddling with a newly made large sand table in the room. Li Deyi took a closer look, and judging from the general outline that the sand table had just pinched out, it should be the appearance of the Tongwan City that he had described. Hearing that the two apprentices behind him had entered the house, the old doctor Sun picked up a towel and wiped his hands, turned his head and glanced at the little apprentice with a smile, and waved his hand to signal them to sit down.

Old Doctor Sun picked up the tea boiling on the stove next to him, and Doctor Liu quickly reached out and took it, first poured a cup for the master, and then poured a bowl for the younger brother. Li Deyi was impatient to use a small cup when he drank tea, so he kept making a large porcelain bowl, picked up his big bowl of tea, and drank it all in one gulp. "Eating meat in the past few months has made me tired and crooked. In winter, in the Tuliao people, there is nothing else to eat except meat, and occasionally they drink tea, or boil it with milk. ”

When the old doctor Sun heard his little apprentice say this, he said distressedly: "It's easy to get tired of just eating meat, and there is still some tea here for the teacher, you come to drink it every day to relieve your greasy." You've been out and about for the past few months, and you've been sleeping in the open, aren't you? In front of the master, Li Deyi naturally didn't dare to brag indiscriminately, and said honestly: "I still paid it, but I was hungry for a few days on the way back, but I still resisted." Besides, I have been used to starving since I was a child, and after my father was gone, my mother had little strength, and my family's land could not be planted, and my family's food began to be insufficient. Later, when I was eight years old, after my mother died, I often couldn't eat, and it was common for me to be hungry for a day or two. In the past few months in Tongwan City, it is good to be able to have meat to eat every day. ”

See, the old man is sometimes so contradictory, Weibei Camp is a military camp, and he will fight at any time. When I went out to fight, I couldn't eat and sleep in the open, but this time I didn't see the little apprentice for a few months, which made me feel distressed.

Seeing that the little apprentice was in good health and in good spirits, Old Medical Officer Sun didn't ask any more questions, and asked instead, "You rescued this blacksmith, do you have any plans?" Li De wrinkled his nose and sucked hard. After months of going back and forth on the grassland, his nose was frostbitten by the cold wind, and now he has a little snot coming out from time to time. Sucking the snot back, Li Deyi pinched his nose and said, "I haven't figured out what to do now." However, these blacksmiths have also suffered a lot of sins at the hands of the Tuliao people, let's settle them down first, feed them and clothe them, and let them live steadily. After saying these two sentences, Li Deyi raised his head and asked: "Master, I look at the "Romance of Taizu's Rebellion", which said that in Taizu's army, all the weapons and armor could be traced all the way up to the individual blacksmith who made it, so the blacksmith was very serious when making it, do you say this is true?" ”

Old Medical Officer Sun didn't expect the apprentice to suddenly ask this, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer. Doctor Xiao Liu interjected beside him: "That was hundreds of years ago, who can say it clearly now." In my experience, this is very difficult to achieve. The name of the blacksmith was not left on those weapons and armor, how to verify what happened? Even if the blacksmiths are found, there is no physical evidence, and the blacksmiths can shirk and deny them at will. When the Iron and Steel Bureau of the Ping Zhou Dynasty was still there, you have also seen the broken copper and iron that were issued, and some of them are still rotten in our logistics warehouse, and they can't be used at all. ”

Li De nodded, and then said with his senior brother: "It is true, but this matter cannot be all thanks to the blacksmith. It's not that blacksmiths belong to craftsmen in the Pingzhou Dynasty, they are the most inferior people, they have a low status, and they can barely keep this food by relying on their own craftsmanship. Let's just say that the five old blacksmiths in our camp all regard their skills as treasures, and even the apprentices who have been with them for seven or eight years refuse to pass them on. Those five old blacksmiths have believed in 'church apprentices, starve to death master' all their lives. Their apprentices are still honestly working hard and doing the hard work of picking up sledgehammers. Only the two of them were clever and comfortable with the master, so they learned some tricks from the master to watch the fire. As for those unique skills and the secret recipes for making swords and armor handed down by their ancestors, I didn't learn them at all. If you want to say that our Weibei Battalion has never treated those blacksmiths badly, eating, drinking, living, and even paying silver, there is no deduction at all, and they are all according to the standards of soldiers. Even so, without worrying about food and clothing, these blacksmiths still regarded their unique skills as treasures, and refused to wear them lightly. Master said that those blacksmiths in the Ping Zhou Dynasty were usually oppressed so badly that they often didn't have enough to eat, and they couldn't even say that they couldn't even talk about their daughters-in-law with the money they had saved in their lives, and they had to borrow money to marry their daughters-in-law. In order to survive, they must have looked at their craftsmanship like eyes, how could they make swords and armor with their hearts, they must have coped with things. ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu nodded, "These things are indeed very disadvantageous, the weapons and armor made by the Pingzhou Imperial Court, if you don't spend a lot of money, you won't be able to get good things at all, they are all tattered goods." At that time, Di Dashuai was forced to make his own swords and armor in Weibei Camp, but when he was impeached later, this also became one of his old man's crimes, saying that he made swords and armor privately with bad intentions. It's ridiculous, hahaha...... Later, in this court, the army's combat strength was so unbearable that half of it was destroyed in the hands of scrap copper and rotten iron in this court system. As soon as Li De heard his senior brother mention Di Dashuai, he suddenly said: "Master, you once said that Di Dashuai followed the strategy left by Taizu when he was training his troops, which created the prestige of the Weibei Battalion, and he never lost a single defeat in a hundred battles. Is this really happening? ”

Old Medical Officer Sun said with a solemn face: "It is true, before leaving, the marshal had explained this matter to us literate people. The marshal said with a look of regret at the time, "None of us can pass on his art of war." Di Dashuai claimed that his art of war was passed on from the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, but Taizu had been immortal for more than 500 years, and no one in later generations had ever claimed to be Taizu to teach the art of war and martial arts. It's hard to say. However, the commander of Guandi governed the army and fought, and my Weibei Battalion was indeed somewhat similar to the Taizu army described in "The Romance of Taizu Dingchao". It's a pity that the old man passed away more than ten years ago, and it is difficult to verify these words from his old man now. ”

Hearing what Master said, Li Deyi sniffed and said, "Master, Senior Brother." I always feel that "The Romance of Taizu" is not made up by later generations, and the things described in it are all true things that Taizu has experienced in his life. Although I still don't understand the teachings in it, I always want to try it according to what is written in the book. Master, let's first offer the blacksmith good food and drink, and then wait for him to get well. We can't let them get together with our five old blacksmiths, and it will be easy to get people back, so we have to think of a trick to let these blacksmiths play a good role, call out all their unique skills, and serve our Weibei camp well. Otherwise, my sins in the past few months would not have been in vain. If our Weibei battalion wants to develop now, it is not enough to have soldiers alone, and when it comes to fighting, we must not let soldiers carry wooden guns and wear wooden armor to go into battle, and we must have steel swords and armor. Now we are barely expanding our army to 10,000, which is already the limit. If they wanted to recruit more soldiers, the five blacksmiths not only couldn't catch up with the new weapons, but even repaired the old swords and armor became a problem. ”

Old Medical Officer Sun nodded: "I thought you had a charter in your chest, but now it seems that you are still anxious for the teacher." But you're right, you really can't do it the same as before, you have to think of a new trick. Now this lack of weapons has also become a major obstacle to the development and growth of our Weibei battalion. But this matter should be slowed down rather than urgent, and we should really think of a way to solve it, and we can't deal with it indiscriminately because we are in a hurry, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

After the old doctor Sun finished talking about the blacksmith, he reached out and took out another letter and handed it to Li Deyi. As soon as Li De opened it, he looked at it carefully, looked up at the master and said, "Master, this Shimaizhou is here to find a beating, right?" He himself became the emperor with a cheeky face, and when an edict was sent, he wanted us to bow down and be vassal? Why is he? ”

Old Doctor Sun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shimaizhou has just become emperor now, and this matter has not yet been decided." Some of his ministers suggested that he issue an edict, mainly to test the reaction of the heroes around him. Now I'm afraid that the appeasement envoys of Shimaizhou haven't picked them well, so let's not rush first. That's what Master told you, you have a number in your mind about this matter in advance, go back and think about what to do when the time comes. ”

Li De shook his head quickly and shouted, "Do you still need to think about this? What the Pingzhou court was like at the beginning, you also know Master. I don't want to recognize a new court. Li Deyi said this hardly, but Old Medical Officer Sun didn't care, waved his hand and drove the two apprentices out, and turned his head to continue to make a sand table.

After discussing with the master, Li Deyi followed the senior brother out of the house. As soon as I went out, I saw Li Wudi looking for him from a long distance. Li Wuyi also saw Li Deyi, and immediately shouted in his mouth: "Bibi! As he spoke, Li Wushu raised the black iron giant rod in his hand into the sky. As soon as Li Deyi saw Li Wuving, he suddenly turned his head and asked his senior brother in a low voice: "Senior brother, how are you and your sister-in-law now?" When Doctor Xiao Liu heard this, he said angrily: "The child's family, don't ask about this, you haven't been at home in the past few months, and your ability hasn't been left behind, right?" ”

"Don't worry, senior brother, I insist on exercising my knowledge of the sea every day in the Tuliao people, insisting on operating the original qi to strengthen my body according to the experience left by Taizu, and I have worked hard to cultivate every day, and I have never fallen behind." Li Deyi swore an oath.

"I don't worry, it's useless, someone has come to the door at this time, and they want to compare with you. If you lose later, your cowhide will be blown off. ”

Li De slapped his hand on his chest: "That can't be, I have not beaten the Liao people in the past few months, and the elite cavalry guards of the Liao nobles alone have killed more than 20, but I killed them all alone." Senior brother, my ability to do this, in the past few months, there have been Tuliao sparring partners, which is not decreasing but increasing. "It's not that there is a Tuliao sparring partner, and the "Four Eyes" are also sparring.

Speaking kung fu, Li Wudi had already come to the front, and stretched out his hand to pull Li Deyi: "Come, practice." Li Deyi said strangely: "Last winter, didn't my senior brother take you to the northern grassland to fight the grass valley of the Liao people?" Every year, we have to go to the north to drive out the small tribes of Yi people who come to spend the winter. I look at you like this, it looks like I haven't done anything with someone for a long time. Li Wushu waved his hands and said, "Go, it's too weak." "Oh, Li Deyi understands, Li Wuyi is disgusted that those small tribes are too weak, not his opponents.

After practicing, I just showed my senior brother if my ability had grown a lot.

Li Wudi and Li Deyi walked side by side to a small school yard in Weibeiying. Li Deyi stretched out his hand and pulled out a saber, and shouted at Li Wuyi: "Be careful, I'm here!" ”
