Taking advantage of Zhang Liao's defeat, not only did Dai Gang start training this Danyang elite soldier, but Qiao Ren, who was sitting in Shucheng, was also thinking about how to strengthen the combat power of the Wu army. In Qiao Ren's opinion, it is difficult to compete with Cao Jun's elite infantry cavalry only by relying on the heavy armor spear formation, the heavy armor spearmen are not only slow to move, not strong in mobility, but also not good in endurance, the most important thing is that the soldiers in the Jiangnan region are not comparable to the northerners in terms of physical fitness and height, and the heavy armored spearmen in Qiao Ren's hands are just chasing ducks to the shelves.

Therefore, Qiao Ren turned his mind to another weapon, that is, the enhanced version of the Ring Head Knife--- Miao Knife. Qi Jiguang, the anti-Japanese national hero, improved the Japanese sword from the Tang knife into a more powerful Miao knife. The total length of the Miao knife is five feet, the length of the knife is three feet eight inches, and the handle of the knife is one foot and two inches, and it concentrates the characteristics of the two weapons of the knife and the gun, which can be used as a gun and a knife, and can be held with one hand and both hands. Because it is easy to exert the overall strength of the lower back when used with one or two hands, and the structure is excellent. Therefore, when the enemy is used, tossing and turning, fast racing, body destroying the knife, the knife turns with the person, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, the practical value is high, and the killing power is great! Non-ordinary weapons can be resisted.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was already a five-foot-long ring head long knife, and the Western Han Dynasty also had a weapon of chopping horses, so there was no big problem in technology. According to various sources, the origin of the Miao knife is the Wuchu region, which makes Qiao Ren even more convinced that the Miao knife can be successfully cast.

And a good knife needs a good craftsman, and Qiao Ren, the metropolitan governor, began to look for knife casting masters in the Jiangdong region all over the world.

"The Grand Duke!" A shout disturbed Qiao Ren's thoughts, and Qiao Ren heard the sound and saw Sun Lang leading an old man in his forties into the main hall.

According to Qiao Ren's understanding of Sun Lang, he knew that he was extremely careful, and if there was no major event, he would never lead an irrelevant person into Qiao Ren's main hall, so he didn't ask much, only replied lightly, "Good morning!" What's the matter? ”

Sun Lang first bowed down and saluted before he spoke: "Governor Dadu, the craftsman you want has been found, this gentleman is a hermit who lives in seclusion on Tiantai Mountain, and he specially came to see the Governor on the recommendation of Wu Xun. ”

"Oh!" Qiao Ren was a little surprised, Wu Xunai was a serious Yue person, how could he have a hermit friend, and asked: "Mr. Gao's surname is a big name, and Ren Wei has welcomed forgiveness and forgiveness. ”

Since he is a hermit, he can't be a regular law, so Qiao Ren does not meet according to his age rather than his official position. Although the man was in his forties, the muscles of his arms were knotted, and at first glance he was powerful, not at all like an ordinary hermit.

"In Xia Ouyeyang, the mountain village is just a man, and he should not be commensurate with Mr. Dudu." Ou Yeyang said softly.

The surname is Ouye, Mo is not.

Qiao Ren hurriedly asked, "Ou Yezi, the sword casting master of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I don't know who Mr. is?" ”

"It's the ancestor!" Ou Yeyang simply admitted it directly.

In the past, the sword of Yue Guo stood alone in the world, it should be said that it was the sword casters of Yue who accurately mastered the ratio of copper and tin, and skillfully mastered the anti-rust process of the sword, investment casting process and other sword casting processes, so that the sword of Yue Guo stood alone in the world. And Ou Yezi is the most outstanding representative of this group of swordsmiths, and his descendants cannot be said to be also swordsmiths.

Qiao Ren thought that Ou Yeyang was the descendant of Ou Yezi, so Wu Xun's identity was debatable. It seems that Wu Xun is not a simple Yue person. ’

Ou Yeyang seemed to see through Qiao Ren's thoughts, and asked, "Does the Governor think it's strange, why is Wu Bodao a native of Shanye Yue familiar with me?" ”

Qiao Ren nodded yes, and Sun Lang on the side also knew Wu Xun, knowing that he was a burly looking Yue man, and when he heard this, he was also interested, and opened his ears wide.

Ou Yeyang laughed, "Don't hide it from the governor, it's also a strange story." Wu Xunnai is a descendant of Wu Guoshang's doctor Wu Yuan (Wu Zixu). In the past, the ancestor of the family forged a sword for Wu Wangfu, and was troubled, but fortunately he was able to escape smoothly with the help of Wu Gong, and later Wu Gong died tragically, and the ancestor took his descendants away to raise him. In this way, the relationship between our two families has not been severed for more than 600 years, and Wu Xun is the only heir of the Wu family in this generation. ”

Saying that, Ou Yeyang also took off the sword from his waist, put it on Qiao Ren's case, and said with a slight smile: "Please also guess the governor." ”

Qiao Ren and Sun Lang were still shocked by how wonderful this world was, Leng Buling was still a little panicked when Ou Yeyang asked him this, and only after half a sound did he suppress the surprise in his heart and move his eyes to the sword on the case.

The two of them got up and looked down, looking down at the sword, as if climbing a high mountain and looking down at the abyss, ethereal and deep, as if there was a giant dragon lying down. At the root of the sword, the remnants of a font similar to an oracle bone script can be faintly seen.

Qiao Ren exclaimed, using the system to see that it was the Sword of the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan, and the effect was actually ten more powerful, and the charm was full of value. Qiao Ren, who understood everything, sang loudly: "You don't see Kunwu Iron Smelting Flying Yanyan, red light and purple gas. This must be Wu Xiang's sword and the seven-star dragon yuan. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is so knowledgeable!" Ou Yeyang's face remained unchanged and praised loudly. Although he was entrusted by Wu Xun to ask him to forge a knife for Qiao Ren, if Qiao Ren was not a knowledgeable person, according to his character, he would not stoop to forge a knife for him.

And Sun Lang on the side stood on the spot as if he had been hit by a huge blow today, what kind of day is today, first I saw the descendant of Ou Yezi, a generation of sword-casting masters, and then I saw the seven-star Longyuan sword, which is the legendary sword!

Qiao Ren looked at this sword that had been handed down in the history books, and his heart was itching to pull it out, and the purple light was dazzling for a while, although it was an ancient sword, it was still extremely sharp, and the cold light of the blood groove and the blade all showed that this was a murderous weapon. The cold light flashed, and the copper bottle on the case was cut off by the waist.

"This sword?" Qiao Ren played with it for a moment before remembering the topic, since this sword is Wu Zixu's saber, then it should be in Wu Xun's hands.

"This is what Bo Dao gave to the governor."

"It's too precious." It is indeed too precious, this sword was handed down to the grave by a generation of Tianjiao Tang Taizong, Qiao Ren asked himself how He De could have this sword.

"It doesn't matter. Bo Dao has a saying, the Metropolitan Governor is a young talent, and this sword can only be truly famous in the hands of the Metropolitan Governor. Moreover, Bodao also hoped that the Metropolitan Governor could inherit the unfinished business of Duke Wu. ”

'Wu Zixu's great cause'? Qiao Ren pondered to himself, but he also guessed a rough idea. In the past, Wu Zixu assisted King Wu, hoping to dominate the Central Plains. There are thousands of coincidences, and now Qiao Ren's lord is also the Marquis of Wu, who will not be the King of Wu or even the Emperor of Wu in the future, Wu Xun hopes that Qiao Ren can assist Marquis Wu and Sun Ce and sweep the six-in-one unified China.

Knowing this, Qiao Ren didn't shirk it. Instead, he said the main topic, "Mr. Ouye, see if the knives on this drawing can be made in batches." ”

The drawing that Qiao Ren handed over was drawing a slender Miao knife.

"Yes, in the past, the king of Dayu went to Miao Mountain, the big accountant, the lord is virtuous, and the seal is meritorious, so it is renamed Miao Mountain and said that it will be Ji, which is the knife of Miao Mountain. There is this knife method in the book of the ancestors, but the knife in this picture is more detailed, more laborious and not easy to break, but it can be looked at casting, but this knife process, thirty steelmaking is no longer enough. ”

As an expert, you can distinguish the key at a glance.

Qiao Ren let out a sigh of relief at this time and said, "Master don't worry, there are a large number of ochre near Shucheng in Lujiang, and the quality is good. "Qiao Ren came from later generations, and naturally knew that there was a large amount of high-quality hematite near the Lujiang River. Not to mention that there is a large amount of high-quality iron ore in Ma'anshan in later generations of Danyang County, it is said that there is a large amount of iron ore in Shucheng in Lujiang County in later generations.

"Haha! With high-quality ochre, you can easily forge a hundred steels, don't say that the Miao knife is the Longyuan sword, and the old man can also forge it. ”
