Chapter 031: Yiyang Warrior (1) 1/3 Ask for a recommendation
What, brothers and sisters are so powerful!
I've never had a recommendation ticket so powerful today, I'm grateful, thank you, and kneel down to ask for a new day's recommendation ticket.
——————————————————————————
Cao Peng chose a sword.
It is five feet long and weighs about eight catties, and it looks like a standard head knife.
The blade is slender and straight, with a small inner arc that increases the force when slashing. In the stem part, the design of this head knife is somewhat different from that of ordinary head knives, that is, it is long and can be held with both hands. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the structure of the one-handed handle of the stem of most of the head knives required high wrist strength and physical fitness of the user. The design of this head seems to take into account the user's low strength, so the length of the knife stem is deliberately lengthened, which is more conducive to two-handed chopping.
The reason why this leader was chosen is precisely because of his own understanding.
Cao Peng's body has not yet reached the level of holding a knife with one hand, and the eight-pound head knife, according to his current condition, will not be able to support it for long. In addition, there is another reason why he chose this leader. Hanhuan knives are roughly divided into five types, the first type is made separately, and the heated hammer is forged and welded on the knife stem; The second is that the head is left with a notch as wide as the end of the knife stem, and then welded at both ends; the third is still made with a different head, but it is clamped at the end of the knife stem that is turned back; The fourth is the integration of the knife stem and the head, and then embedded with the knife body, and then reinforced with nails; The last one is the whole knife forged in one, and there is a dragon bird pattern in the head, which is called the dragon bird ring.
Previously, Cao Ji gave Wang the dragon bird big knife, that is, the last one.
Cao Peng's choice is the third type, where the head is clamped at the end of the knife stem that is turned back.
The first and second types are the majority. The kind of head selected by Cao Peng belongs to a relatively rare type.
Following Cao Ji to learn forging, some basic knowledge is not bad.
Cao Peng knew that similar to this kind of clamping head, the quality of the blade was generally outstanding. Although it looks like a standard, it is actually specially built.
Because the knife stem technology in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not yet mature, the Hanhuan sword soldiers did not have papaya gauntlets.
Cao Peng held the knife in his hand, swung it vigorously twice, and nodded with satisfaction. The portion size is just right! One hand is struggling, but both hands are just right.
Then, in a pile of miscellaneous items, he found a crochet setting.
It is a small iron shield with a sharp spike protruding from the middle of the shield, which can be used to push and kill opponents. There are iron hooks extending from the top and bottom, which can lock the opponent's weapons. This is also the most commonly used auxiliary weapon of the Hanhuan knife. But for Cao Peng, who wielded a knife with both hands, this hook setting seemed a little redundant. But the texture is good, let Wang Mai or Deng Ji wear it, it should also be useful.
After selecting the weapon, Cao Peng returned to the wooden shed.
Deng Ji was helping to pull the bellows, and when he saw Cao Peng coming, he only smiled and didn't speak.
usually looks at Deng Ji and seems to be dumbfounded, but in his heart, this guy is not a confused person, just like Spiegel.
His seemingly casual question just now made Cao Peng understand that this brother-in-law was a bright heart. It's just that Cao Peng doesn't know how to answer this question, there are some things that everyone knows in their hearts, and there is no need to talk about them. So, he nodded and smiled slightly.
"Huh?" Cao Ji took the head, glanced at it, and immediately showed a look of surprise, "This knife is not bad...... Friends, good eyesight. ”
Cao Peng smiled and didn't speak.
I've seen a lot of good knives in my previous life, and I'm also a person with a story, so there's no need to show surprise.
"Well, this knife is a good knife to be tempered well, but it is a good knife.
Just put it here, I'll help your brother-in-law fix the sword, and I'll repair the knife for you. By the way, go get some horse pee, I'm going to quench the edge. ”
Cao Peng hurriedly agreed, picked up a wooden barrel, and walked to the stable.
Wang Mai was washing the horses in the stables......
Today, there are three horses in the Cao family's stables, and if they are placed in Jianyang County, they can be regarded as middle-class families.
"Ah Fu, which one do you want?"
"Whatever...... You ride the big black, let my brother-in-law ride the big flower. Give me the horse, I'm not good at riding anyway, it's a pity to ride a good horse. ”
"Ah Fu, did you say that Huang Shot did it?"
Cao Peng smiled and nodded silently.
"What does he mean by recruiting his brother-in-law over?"
"I can't see what he thinks now, and it's only in the past that it's possible to figure it out. That's why I'm going with my brother-in-law. ”
"So what do we do now?"
Wang Mai said that he was not afraid, but it could be seen that he was still a little nervous.
After all, a teenager who was only fourteen years old and had never experienced any strong winds and waves, this sudden change was enough to make him nervous.
Cao Peng glanced at him and picked up a bucket full of horse urine.
"Hold the spear and the steel knife tightly. When the soldiers come, we will block it, and when the water comes, we will fill the soil. Look at that yellow shot, what tricks can he play! ”
With that, he walked away with the bucket.
Wang Mai stood stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
"The soldiers will block, and the water will fill the earth...... Are barefoot people afraid of you wearing shoes? ”
The spirit suddenly lifted up, and the war horse was more energetic. Cao Peng smiled outside the stable, but did not say a word. He was very relieved that Wang bought this brother. This guy is also bold, but he hasn't been through the world. In the future, when he grows up and has a wide range of knowledge, he will definitely be able to make a difference...... At the same time, Cao Peng was still thinking about another very important thing. He had already discovered that there was no such thing as stirrups in the war horses of this year, and horseshoes naturally did not exist. I'm about to go to the barracks, why don't you add these two items to yourself? With stirrups, it is necessary to have a high saddle, will it be too eye-catching?
This kind of thing can't be hidden for long.
If it is equipped, it will not be hidden from the eyes of connoisseurs.
Forget it, put it aside for now...... These things seem simple, but they are undoubtedly great progress for this era.
Use these things as much as possible in exchange for the maximum benefit.
Although it is likely that this time I will go to the Nine Girls City, it is likely that there will be more and less luck, but it is not worth taking out these big killing weapons. It's not in their own interest!
"Ah Fu!"
"Yes."
As soon as Cao Peng returned to the wooden shed, Wang Meng called him out.
"Uncle, is there something wrong?"
Wang Meng said softly: "Ah Fu, do you know what is going on with this recruitment of uncle and grandson?" ”
"Something about it."
In front of Wang Meng, Cao Peng didn't need to hide it.
Wang Meng said: "It's troublesome? ”
Cao Peng thought for a while, nodded and said, "It may be a little troublesome." ”
"Have you figured out how to solve it?"
"Let's take it one step at a time, I think this call-up may not be aimed at my brother-in-law, but me...... My brother-in-law just suffered from the calamity of innocence. ”
Wang Meng didn't ask any more, but hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Ah Fu, you should know what happened to me in the past." ”
"Uh, I know something."
"Later, because I was born with a tiger head, I quit and settled in Zhongyang Town.
However, I have some old brothers who have always kept in touch. They are now begging for a living in Fuyang Tufu Mountain, and it is said that they are mixing quite well. They numbered sixty or seventy men, in addition to twenty horses. Originally, when I left Zhongyang Town, I planned to take the tiger head to find them...... If necessary, I can go around and find a way for them. If you can't do anything else, it's easy to kill someone. ”
How could such a thing happen?
Wang Meng used to be the commander of Taiping Dao, so his old brother is not a remnant of Taiping Dao, that is, a yellow turban thief?
The so-called begging for a living is just a more subtle statement. Cao Peng knew that those people should occupy the mountain as the king and gather the crowd as the king.
With his eyes rolling, Cao Peng quickly made a decision.
"Uncle, find a way to contact them, not to say that they will be used immediately, just in case, make preparations in advance."
"Okay, I'll go to Fuyang early tomorrow morning."
Fuyang, which was later known as Tongbai County, was about five or six days away from Jianyang, and it might be faster if you rode a horse.
"Then please uncle." Cao Peng thought for a while, and then said: "In addition, after we leave, let my father remove the bellows and find a place to hide it." These things are the treasures of our future fortune. If it is seen by outsiders, there may be trouble. ”
"I'll save it."
——————————————————————
In this way, the time of the day passed unconsciously in the busyness.
After dark, the family got together for a simple meal, and Deng Ji and Cao Peng bought three people, and then they were ready to go.
Deng Ji took off his robe and put on a black jacket with a piece of armor.
The so-called armor is an armor woven from pieces of earth and iron, which is worn on the body like a vest. A piece of armor, weighing about 20 catties, can effectively provide protection. It's just that for Cao Peng, the weight of the armor is too heavy, so Zhang dismantled the piece of earth and iron, turned out a calfskin, and sewed it on the outside to become a pair of leather armor. The portion is more than half lighter, and Cao Peng is just right to wear it.
Wang Mai took the snake spear and put a modified hook on his wrist to turn it into a hand shield.
Wang Meng led the horses out of the stable and stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
Cao Peng and the three of them were in good spirits and turned over outside the door.
Deng Ji wore an iron sword, while Cao Peng straddled his head, held a dragon bird, and sat upright on horseback.
"Father, mother, the child is leaving."
"When you arrive in the Nine Maidens City, you have to be careful in everything, but don't have conflicts with others......"
The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt.
Even if Cao Peng is a human being, he can't help but be moved.
"Mother, don't worry."
He turned around on the horse and said to Cao Ji, "Dad, after we go to the Nine Women's City, you won't be in a hurry." Anyway, Kuaizheng doesn't have a time limit, you can rest first, and we'll talk about it when we come back. If there is anything, discuss it with Uncle Wang. My sister has a body, and she needs to be taken care of by you and her mother...... Uncle Wang, please! ”
Wang Meng smiled slightly and nodded in reply.
"Brother-in-law, let's go."
Deng Ji was on the horse and stretched out his hand to caress Cao Nan's cheek, "Anan, be careful, we will be back soon." ”
"Dad, take care!"
The king bought a spear and immediately bowed his hand.
After the three of them said goodbye, they turned their horses and left.
In the night, the sound of horses' hooves faded away......
"Lao Cao, let's go into the house.
The night wind is cold, and Anan is still pregnant, so you have to be careful. Brother and sister, you go back to the house with Anan first, and I happen to talk to Lao Cao about something. ”
"Well, let's go back to the house!"
Zhang helped Cao Nan and cautiously returned to the hall.
Wang Meng and Cao Ji stood at the gate and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
"Lao Cao, help me find a knife and a spear."
"What are you going to do?"
"Ah Fu wants me to do something, I have to go out tomorrow. Fifteen days at most, I'll be able to get back. Don't start work until I come back...... Remove the bellows and find a place to hide them. I guess it's not that simple, and there must be trouble. ”
Cao Ji showed a solemn expression.
"Did Ah Fu say anything to you?"
He didn't know much, but he felt a little abnormal, so he proposed to go with his uncle and grandson.
With Ah Fu here, there will be nothing wrong with the uncle and grandson. It is imperative that we take care of this family, so that the children don't come back and something happens. ”
The two have known each other for many years, and many things are unspoken.
"I see, I'll give you a weapon."
Cao Ji turned around and walked towards the warehouse, while Wang Meng stood on the doorstep, looking back at the direction where Deng Ji and the three of them had left that had disappeared into the night.
Boys, come back safely......
