Chapter 120, Building a Thorn
Guo Tu's heart was tight, and he hurriedly changed the topic, "Qu Shuai, Gong Ze and Qu Shuai are both surnamed Guo, maybe five hundred years ago they were still the same sect, listen to the good words of the Gong Ze and persuade him, my lord of the family, famous, blessed all over the world, now he is commanding the heroes, dedicated to helping the world, and it is the people's will to ask Dong is the people's will, a righteous move, and I hope that Qu Shuai will weigh the pros and cons, recognize the current situation, and don't make mistakes." ”
"Ask for Dong? Which Dong is you asking for? Dong Zhuo's father and son have already turned against each other, why do you insist on letting my family Qu Shuai send troops to fight against Dong Yi, the leader of your family's alliance, keep saying that he is crusading against the traitor, and the princes of the Eighteenth Road have already set up a position but why have they been holding their troops still? The Lord of the Yuan League was killed, such a sea of blood and hatred, why do you want to fake your hands to others? I'm afraid that there is something else, Wangqu Shuai thinks twice. Glancing at Guo Tu with cold eyes, Xu Huang sneered disdainfully.
"This..."Guo Tu was speechless for a while, and he was a little dumbfounded, unexpectedly, this Xu Huang was not only brave in martial arts, but also not inferior in eloquence.
"Okay, Ben Shuai is also tired, come on, send Mr. Guo back to rest." Xu Huang's words made Mrs. Guo really feel a little uneasy, and with a wave of her hand, several soldiers stepped forward, and persuaded Guo Tu to go out without saying anything.
"Gongming, what did you mean just now?" After sending Guo Tu away, his eyes fell on Xu Huang, and Guo Tai asked urgently.
Xu Huang swept around and confirmed that he was not an outsider, so he said in a low voice, "Lord, as expected by Gongming, Yu Fuluo has already surrendered to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's next step, naturally hopes to subdue the lord, this time Guo Tu came, so he played this abacus, and persuaded the lord to send troops to fight against Dong Yi, I think... I'm afraid that Yuan Shao is going to use our Bai Bo Army as a pawn, in the name of revenge, but in fact, it will weaken our forces, and then, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the purpose is naturally to bring Bai Bo under his command in one fell swoop. ”
"What? Yuan Shao's intentions are so sinister, he wants to use my Bai Bo as a chess piece in his palm, hum... If it weren't for his title of alliance leader, Ben Shuai's 100,000 troops would have wiped him out in an instant, and now he is only 20,000 soldiers, and even the money and food have to rely on the snort of Jizhou Han Fu, how can he compete with Ben Shuai? After listening to Xu Huang's analysis, Mrs. Guo immediately jumped like thunder, gritted her teeth, and her beard was swollen, which was really scary.
"Lord, don't be angry, I'll wait and see what happens, even if Yu Fuluo really submits to Yuan Shao, don't take it to heart, the Bai Bo Army only has an iron horse in Yu Fuluo, rashly tearing the skin, it is not good for everyone, and the same is true with the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is afraid of the power of Qu Shuai, so he will naturally try to persuade more, the lord is not as perfunctory as the surface, so it is difficult, Yuan Shao will naturally promise more benefits, as for the battle against Dong, I am 100,000 white waves, I can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, in the future, the snipe and the clam will fight, and the natural fisherman will benefit."
Xu Huang's words, not only Guo Tai nodded frequently, but also Yang Feng and Xiang Fei on the side were all secretly impressed, Xu Huang, Wen Tao Wu Strategy, all of them are refined, they can be called Bai Bo's rare geniuses in commanding the army, but Guo Tai's two brothers, together with Li Le and Hu Cai, glared at Xu Huang fiercely, Guo Zhong and Guo Yi privately received a lot of benefits from Yuan Shao, and naturally hoped that Bai Bo could attach himself to Yuan Shao and wash his identity, which was better than being called a traitor all day long.
Li Le and Hu Cai are jealous of Xu Huang's skills, Xu Huang has performed well repeatedly, and he is deeply valued by Mrs. Guo, and the two are naturally unconvinced.
Some people are like this, their skills are not as good as others, they do not reflect on their own shortcomings, but they are narrow-minded and resentful of others.
They returned to the tent, and before Li Le could rest, suddenly a relative came to report, "General, there are people outside the tent who ask to see you." ”
"Huh? Who is it? Li Le was slightly stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.
He hurriedly bowed down and replied, "The other party didn't say anything, but he asked the little one to hand the general this letter, saying that the general had read the letter and would naturally understand." ”
Taking the letter from his hand, Li Le opened it and looked at it, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he subconsciously glanced around, looking like a thief.
The letter did not write anything, but only listed a gift list, on which a lot of precious jewelry and belongings were written, literati calligraphy and paintings, pearl agate, jade stones... There is everything, a large list of rough estimates, no less than a thousand gold.
"Come on, invite him in." Li Le, who has always been unkind to people, politely used the word 'please' to a strange messenger.
At the same time, Hu Cai, Guo Zhong, and Guo Yi also received a lot of gold leaf property.
Money is something outside the body, some people don't care, but there are always people who are obsessed with it and have greed for it.
…………………………
In the past few days, Gan Ning has been busy training the naval army, ready for the upcoming fierce battle against thieves, and Zhang Xiu was canonized as the captain of Pingnan, commanding three thousand iron cavalry, and is also stepping up the drill. Hu Che'er led the scout to keep an eye on Fuluo's movements, while Jia Xu sat in the rear and led the overall situation.
It is said that the busiest person is Jia Xu, who has just arrived and is struggling, not only to deter the hundred officials in Hedong and stabilize the situation, but also to pay attention to the trends of all parties, and to plan for Dong Yi.
Jin Biao was sent out to post notices everywhere to recruit soldiers for Dong Yi, while Xu Chu never left Dong Yi's side, after all, he is now Dong Yi's guard commander, although there are no soldiers around him for the time being, but for Dong Yi's safety, Xu Chu does not dare to be sloppy at all, no matter what is happening, he has never left Dong Yi's side.
"Lord, what are you doing when you gather so many blacksmiths?" In the past few days, Dong Yi has hired all the blacksmiths in the city with a lot of money, one will draw drawings, and the other will urge the blacksmiths to create strange things.
"My lord, this is the first batch of daggers that have been newly baked, please take a look." While the two were talking, an elderly blacksmith hurriedly trotted all the way to Dong Yi with a snowy dagger. Said to be a dagger, Xu Chu took a closer look, but there was something different, the ordinary dagger was short and sharp, and the plane was relatively smooth, while the dagger sent by the blacksmith was prismatic in shape, and there were two concave and deep grooves in the middle, and the front section was extremely sharp, which looked a little weird.
"It's all according to what the adults said, all of them are made of fine fine iron, about three inches long, with two grooves, weighing eight taels and five cents, and the blades on three sides are sharp."
"Zhongkang, go to the backyard to try the power of this thing?" Nodding, Dong Yi picked up the dagger and took the lead in walking out of the ironware workshop, there were already a few captive fat pigs in the backyard, Dong Yi pointed to the two fat pigs of about the same size, and said to Xu Chu, "Zhong Kang, this is the short knife of the Jinfan Army, you use this knife to stab into the body of the fat pig, and then use this dagger to stab another fat pig, let's see what will happen." ”
"Okay." Although he didn't understand what Dong Yi meant, Xu Chu still followed the order, holding a short knife in one hand and a dagger in the other, turned over and jumped into the pig cage, quenched his shot, and the double knives pierced into the bodies of the two pigs almost at the same time. Although the other pig lay on the ground weakly, his stomach was still rising and falling, and although his breath was weak, he did not die.
"Lord, what's going on?" Xu Chu was puzzled and asked curiously.
"Come, carry these two pigs away, and improve the food for the brothers at noon." waved his hand, and a few relatives rushed to the side, and they hurriedly agreed to get busy.
"Zhongkang, take a closer look, what is the difference between these two knives?" Dong Yi pulled Xu Chu aside, and did not rush to tell Xu Chu the answer, but placed the two blades on the stone table side by side, allowing Xu Chu to take a closer look and think carefully about the mysteries.
Xu Chu scratched his ears and cheeks, thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Except for the different shapes, Zhong Kang can't see any difference." ”
"I know that the two knives, although the length is almost the same, but the short knife is smooth, but this dagger has clear furrows, especially these two grooves, plus the weight is heavier, the knife head is sharp, and it is naturally sharper." A black shadow suddenly flashed out from the side, this person was only a teenager, with a handsome face, clear eyebrows, a long sword in his hand, and his eyes were constantly vigilant when he spoke.
"Shi Ah inherited Wang Yue, although he is young, he is quite accomplished in swordsmanship, so he naturally has a little research on this murderous weapon, and he is right, but you still haven't got to the point." Pointing to the two extra blood grooves in the middle of the dagger, Dong Yi explained with a smile, "Did you see it?" This groove, is unusual, the blade pierced into the pig's body, the reason why it died so quickly, relying on this blood groove, with it, not only makes the blade sharper, but also can transport air through it to the body, air into the body, it will accelerate blood clotting, so that blood loss is faster, relatively, people will die faster, whether people or pigs, if there is no blood groove, even if the skin is pierced by the sword, the wound will be tightly adhered together, the bleeding speed is limited, on the battlefield, time is life, the faster the enemy dies, Naturally, our chances of victory will be greater, and if we can't kill an enemy soldier in half an hour's effort, can we still win this battle? And if a sword kills a person, what is the effect? ”
Xu Chu slapped his thigh and grinned, "I understand, lord, but this thing is so short?" It is not conducive to battlefield fighting, and now, with guns, spears, swords, and daggers, there is no way to use them. ”
"Hehe, you don't need it, but some people use it, you think, Gan Ning's Jinfan army often fights fiercely in the water, if you carry spears and spears all day long, how to kill the enemy underwater, I'm afraid you will be tired of wielding it, and this army stabbing dagger is perfect for them, no matter the size or weight."
"A military thorn?" For this strange name, Xu Chushi Adu felt a little fresh.
"That's right, the military thorn, this thing is to better pierce the enemy's body, tell the blacksmiths, continue to build, and strive for each Jinfan Army to be equipped with one."
"No." Shi A smiled and agreed, and hurriedly flew out, Wang Yue is now joining Dong Yi's command, Shi A was recruited by him from Yingchuan a few days ago, although he is not very old, his swordsmanship is deep Wang Yue's true inheritance.
For Wang Yue, Dong Yi has high expectations, but at present, everything is in its infancy, and it has to be pushed forward step by step.
A lot of things can be done openly, and many things must be done secretly, intelligence collection, spy spying, these Dong Yi roughly wrote a charter and handed it to Jia Xu based on the experience of later generations, planning to set up a special collection of intelligence Xuanji Pavilion, and kidnapping, assassination, tracking, arrest, surveillance and many other places, it is necessary to have skilled secret guards to carry out, if Wang Yue is allowed to train a group of handy subordinates, many things that can not be done in front of people will be more handy.
Dong Yi has already thought of the name, that is the famous Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty!
Of course, at present, I only have a preliminary idea, and now that the war is imminent, there is not much time left for Dong Yi, and it is difficult to prepare properly in a hurry.
PS: Thank you very much for the support of Garan Dream C, I will work hard.
