How strong is this army? Ah Ke guessed that Liu Zhang's army was very powerful, after all, it was picked out by nearly a million Sichuan troops, and it was impossible for Liu Zhang to find a group of miscellaneous soldiers to follow him.

But it was so strong, Ako didn't expect it at all.

This is even more terrifying than a good force, and Ah Ke now thinks of Zhi Lanying's words, clinging to the Sichuan army, Ah Ke really feels what a wise decision this is.

The Sichuan army rushed into Puzhi City, Dahamu could not recover from his broken arm, and continued to flee in pain, a large number of Che divisions surrendered, and Dahamu led more than 2,000 people to flee to the Beilu Houguo.

The Sichuan army controlled the Pu Houguo, Liu Zhang checked the map, and there was only one Beilu Houguo that Dahamu fled in, and there was a dangerous mountain in the Beilu Houguo, the name of the mountain is Cheshi language, which is translated as Wangfu Mountain.

If you continue to attack the Beilu Houguo, it will not only consume time, but also force Dahamu to flee into Wangfu Mountain, which is very troublesome.

Now that Dahamu has abolished an arm, most of the force has been abolished, and it is no longer a threat, and Liu Zhang can also see that although this Dahamu has a high military force and understands the art of military war, he only has power and no grace for other countries and even the country after the car division.

As long as the Sichuan army completely controls the other countries of the Cheshi Division, and then slowly divides, Dahamu will inevitably perish, and the Sichuan army will not waste time for a Dahamu.

Liu Zhang had already decided to deal with the aftermath and was ready to cross the Tianshan Mountain, but at this time, the vulture bone ran over with a look of surprise, in addition to getting Su Lan's wife, Liu Zhang rarely saw the vulture bone so jubilant.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Lan on the side asked in Chinese, although the language was very stiff, but he could still hear it full of emotion. It looks like this tough couple. Under the careful care of the vultures. There are already feelings.

The vulture stretched out his hand in front of Su Lan, and everyone saw that there was a black wood trunk on the vulture bone's hand, and there was a vine left behind after cutting it on the trunk.

Su Lan was puzzled for a moment, and then showed an unbelievable expression, and the vulture suddenly realized that it was not good to show this thing to his wife first, and hurriedly handed it to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang took the trunk of the tree, observed it suspiciously for a long time, and then showed it to Qu Lingchen and Xiao Furong. The two shook their heads, they didn't understand, Liu Zhang said to the vulture: "Isn't this just a black wood?" I know it's a specialty of the Driver's area, and it can be used as a sturdy wooden house for warm winters and cool summers, or as a wooden pole for weapons, but it won't make you happy like this, will it? ”

Black wood is a special product of the coach, in the past, when the driver was complete, he made a lot of money by selling black wood on the Silk Road, but this is only a relatively good material, and the Silk Road is not passable. It can be said that it is even more worthless, and the only countries that want to consume black wood are the big countries such as the Han Dynasty, Guishan, and Rome.

Therefore, after the influence of the Han Dynasty on the Western Regions declined. The black wood was basically digested by the driver himself, and the luxurious country made the house, and the dahamu was used to make weapons, but he didn't see how powerful the weapons made of black wood were.

"This black wood has a big car in front of the country." Ake said to Liu Zhang, remembering the five carts of gifts at the beginning, and now remembering that Dahamu was harboring evil intentions at all, it was ridiculous that he didn't suspect that he had seen such a strong gift from a small country in front of Pu.

"That's not bad, when the time comes, the charioteer will settle down, and the local materials will be used, and the Han merchants will buy them if they want to, and we will use the rest to make weapons." Although weapons made of black wood cannot significantly improve combat effectiveness, they are stronger than ordinary wood and can increase the possibility of survival for soldiers.

"No, it's not." Seeing that Liu Zhang and the others didn't understand what he meant, the vultures were anxious, and the thick finger of the water pipe pointed to the small branch of the black wooden stake: "Lord, it's this small branch, this small branch is extremely precious." ”

The vulture bone rubbed his hands, still immersed in excitement, Liu Zhang noticed that the cut off branch on it was different from ordinary branches, and the feeling of soft collapse, but he still didn't understand the meaning.

"Lord Father". The vultures hurriedly explained: "We found a lot of black wood in the treasury of the country after Pu, and I didn't pay attention to it at first, but there are small branches on this black wood, and I know from the incision of the twig that this twig is the real material for making rattan armor. ”

"Fuji armor?" Liu Zhang was also suddenly moved, and then looked at the small branch, Liu Zhang actually wanted to expand the vine armor army the most, but it was impossible.

The reason why it is difficult to expand the vine armor army is not only that the rattan armor is very difficult to make, but the reason why the Ugo country of the vulture bone has only 30,000 vine armor troops and can no longer grow, is because there is no tree vine to make the rattan armor, and the vine armor existing in the territory of the Ugo country has long been cut down by the vulture bone.

If you replace it with other old rattans, the first rattan armor made of special tree rattans is not strong at all, and it is really flammable.

The rattan armor is made by soaking the woven rattan armor in water, soaking it in tung oil, and soaking it in grapefruit oil, repeating it five times, each time taking four months and two years to mold.

The rattan armor that came out like this, not to mention the oil, is the tree and the vine are all on point, and a rocket is basically gone in the past, so why do you need to find any special terrain to eliminate the rattan armor army.

It is difficult for other rattan armor to replace the production of rattan armor, and the vine of the vine armor of the Ugo country grows very slowly, and I am afraid that it will take decades to grow enough old vines, and the tree vine of 10,000 rattan armor army will be compiled for more than a hundred years, and there is no hope for the expansion of the army at all.

But now when he hears that there is an old vine making rattan armor in a place thousands of miles away from southern Xinjiang, Liu Zhang is not moved.

"This black wood vine can really be used to make rattan armor?" Liu Zhang suppressed the joy in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"It could." The vulture bone's expression fell, Liu Zhang's heart jumped, and he said in his heart, you big man see that you are honest, you won't come out with such an oolong.

The vulture took the black wood and said, "Lord, I have never seen this kind of black wood before, but there are real rattan armors handed down from my Ugo country, but there are only two pieces. ”

"Real rattan armor?" Liu Zhang frowned, he remembered that the vulture bone just now also said that the vine on this black wood is the real material for making rattan armor, could it be that the current rattan armor is still a fake rattan armor?

"Yes." The huge head of the vulture bone nodded, and said to Liu Zhang: "Actually, the rattan armor we use now is the shield material of the previous rattan armor, and some helmets are also made of the current rattan armor, but the materials that really make the rattan armor have disappeared a long time ago. I haven't seen it anyway.

I only saw two vine armors left by my ancestors. One of them was worn on my wife. That's the real rattan armor, lighter, thinner, and softer. ”

The vulture bone said and gestured to Su Lan, Su Lan didn't twist it, and untied the cloth armor of the Sichuan army, and Liu Zhang saw that it was also a dark yellow rattan armor, but this was much thinner than the rattan armor of the vine armor army. Liu Zhang only found out at this time that Su Lan was wearing rattan armor, no wonder he has never received the general's iron armor, with such a sharp weapon, it is too much to wear a cloth armor.

Liu Zhang only then knew that the vulture bone was the shield material of the previous rattan armor army, which was used to make clothes, although the protection was almost the same, but now the vine armor army was much heavier, and it was afraid of the cold, if it weren't for the Sichuan army arriving at the Cheshi in May, the cold winter wax moon arrived at the Cheshi. Definitely not able to fight.

"It's just a pity." The vulture bone looked at the black wood vine in his hand and said, "I don't know if it's because it's been left for a long time, I just recognize this branch as the material for making rattan armor." But the texture is really bad, and it definitely can't be made. ”

Liu Zhang knew that the rattan armor of the vine needed high strength, and it could not become brittle after repeated soaking, and it was not easy to catch fire.

It's just that when a single soldier catches fire, it's like burning the oil on a living wood, and the living wood will not burn with it, which will only shorten the life of the rattan armor, and the vine armor army can only be completely lit if it is piled up in special terrain.

If the black wood rattan that the vulture bone said is only the same kind of rattan armor material handed down from the Ugo Kingdom, but the quality is much worse, it still can't make rattan armor.

However, it is still too early to judge whether the black wood vine can be used as armor based on this branch alone, Liu Zhang wants to see the black wood forest anyway, otherwise he will not be willing.

Liu Zhang immediately called the members of the Pu royal family and asked about the black wood.

"Report to the general, black wood was originally a specialty of my car division, and there were quite a lot of them before, but since Dahamu trained the army, almost all the black wood forests in the northern veins of the Tianshan Mountains have been cut down, all of them have been made into weapons, the vines have been burned, and there is only one place where there is a black wood forest."

Liu Zhang began to hear the words of the prince of Pu, and his heart was half cold, this Dahamu was simply a tyrannical thing, and took the cheap black wood as a treasure, but the wooden rattan was used to burn, but it is no wonder that he, the value of the black wood is well known, Dahamu does not know the production method of rattan armor, and it is reasonable to burn the wooden rattan.

But even so, after burning so many wooden vines, Liu Zhang was still angry with Dahamu from his heart, until the latter sentence of Prince Pu immediately aroused Liu Zhang's hope.

"Where's that dark wood?"

"Just in the west of the Beilu Houguo Wangfu Mountain, in the middle of the Wangfu Mountain north vein, in the past few years, Dahamu has threatened other Cheshi countries everywhere, among which the Beilu Houguo has been unconvinced, through various means not to pay tribute to Dahamu, including the black wood forest, Dahamu because the weapons made are enough, and the process of processing black wood is complicated, so he has not cut down."

"The last of the Darkwoods?" Liu Zhang felt a little lost in his heart, listening to the tone of Prince Pu, the black wood forest that the country desperately protected would not be too big, even if he could make rattan armor, it was estimated that he would not be able to make a few.

However, something is better than nothing, and with the rattan armor, which is still better than the current rattan armor military, Liu Zhang decided to conquer the Houguo again.

Originally, I wanted to spare Dahamu, who had broken his arm, once, but now this thought has vanished. Liu Zhang immediately ordered the whole army.

The Sichuan army left 2,000 people to collect prisoners and seal the treasury of Pu Houguo, leaving 5,000 people to pursue Dahamu.

Dahamu led the army to flee to the capital of Beilu Houguo, leaving 2,000 people, Dahamu only felt that the wound on his right arm had worsened, lifted a knife, and cut off his arm at once, blood splashed, and everyone in the 2,000 Che Division soldiers was frightened, and the Che Shi soldiers who originally wanted to run away saw Dahamu so ruthless, and they couldn't move their feet unconsciously.

The Beilu Houguo, like several other countries, is an independent country that slowly stayed behind from the five divisions of the Han Dynasty, and the name was also given by the Han Dynasty.

Just like the country before Pu, the country after Pu, the country before the Cheshi, and the country after the Cheshi, the country after the Beilu, as opposed to the Beilu country, was a region with the Beilu country before.

But the Beilu Houguo is much stronger than the Beilu country, the Beilu country has only more than 100 troops, but the Beilu Houguo has more than 2,000 people, of course, this is not their regular army, the regular army is only a few hundred at most, this time to aid Dahamu, because of Dahamu's strength, the Beilu Houguo sent all the strong men.

However, the whole army was annihilated in the First Battle of the Bellows.

Now there are only a few thousand old and weak women and children left in such a powerful country as Beiluhou, and when they heard that Dahamu was defeated, the king of Beiluhou hurriedly came out to greet him.

Because the country is far away from the country after the division and the country is not weak, it has always been unwilling to be threatened by Dahamu, but it can't beat Dahamu, so it can only be compromised, but this kind of compromise, the country still defends its core interests, just like the black wood forest in Wangfu Mountain.

The king knew that now that the Han Sichuan army was in control of Xiliang and was prosperous in commerce, and when the Silk Road was opened, those black trees would be money.

It was only because Dahamu strongly asked all the Cheshi countries in the northern veins of the Tianshan Mountains to ambush Ake and declare war on the Di people, if the Beilu Houguo did not agree, Dahamu would directly attack the Beilu Houguo, and the king of the Beilu Houguo reluctantly agreed.

Although the king of the Beilu Houguo did not like Dahamu, he would not think that Dahamu would be defeated, and after defeating Ake, he would inevitably anger the Di people, and the king of the Beilu Houguo was waiting for the Di people to come and attack Dahamu, and when the time came, he would act at the opportunity to overthrow Dahamu.

However, the king of the Beilu Queen's Kingdom never thought that Dahamu had defeated Ake, but the Wusun army from nowhere beat Dahamu to the ground, and even Dahamu broke his arm.

Of course, Dahamu broke his arm, and the king of Beilu could wake up with a smile in his dreams, but what made the king of Beilu desperate was that the entire army of Beilu Houguo was wiped out in the first battle of Beilu.

And it was forced by Dahamu to break off.

That's all the men of the Bellu Queen's Kingdom, now only orphans and widows are left, how can they live in the future, the king of the Pelul Queen's Kingdom is now hating Dahamu and breaking his teeth.

But Dahamu led the defeated army to arrive, and the king of the Beilu Hou Kingdom had to go out to greet him, because even if Dahamu was defeated, there were still 2,000 defeated soldiers, and what about himself? Some are old and weak women and children in a city.

When Dahami came to the city, the king of the kingdom of Beilu hurriedly led the royal family to meet him, and Dahamu's severed arm had been stopped by herbs, and he entered the city without looking at the king.

"Go and collect grain and grass immediately, I want to sacrifice the army."

As soon as Dahamu arrived at the palace of the Beilu Houguo, regardless of the other royal families, he immediately sat on the throne, and the king's face was blue and iron, but there was nothing he could do, and when he heard that Dahamu actually asked him to raise grain and grass, he was shocked and could only stand up.
