Now Dong Shouye is relying on himself to cheap Lao Tzu's big tree, and there is a way to enjoy the shade under the big tree. With Dong Zhuo's support, Dong Shouye can rest assured and boldly develop his strength and do something without scruples. The phrase "My dad is Li Gang" sounds very good, but in fact the benefits are greater, otherwise there would not be so many people shouting on the Internet: The only regret in life is that my dad is not Li Gang.

With his father Dong Zhuo in front of him to shelter from the wind and rain, Dong Shouye's small life is also a good one, and it is extremely comfortable!

After arranging for Dian Wei to use the ring head knife and hook inlay to set up 2,000 personal guards, Dong Shouye sent his subordinates to let his eldest brother Xu Huang and his second brother Zhang Liao rush to Chang'an City to meet him.

After the two arrived in Chang'an, they came to a secret military camp placed by Dong Shouye in Chang'an, which is now where Dian Wei led 2,000 guards to train secretly, Dong Shouye said to the two: "Big brother, second brother, I have a batch of equipment here, I want the big brother and second brother's troops to be equipped, I don't know what the two brothers think?" ”

Xu Huang asked out loud: "Third brother, is this batch of equipment the one you told me about from Luoyang Palace some time ago?" ”

Dong Shouye said: "What the eldest brother said is right, it was obtained from the palace when he moved west to Chang'an, and the matter was relatively confidential at that time, but he only informed the two brothers at that time, and did not specify the specific amount. ”

Zhang Liao asked again: "Third brother, you also said at that time that there were a lot of treasures in this batch, I don't know if the news is blocked, if it spreads, there must be many people who will be anxious, I don't know if you will report to the Prime Minister." ”

Dong Shouye smiled and replied loudly: "Second brother, don't worry, this batch of treasures is a big deal, and it can't be kept by just a few fledgling generals, so naturally I have already reported to my father." ”

When Xu Huang and Zhang Liao heard that Dong Shouye had reported the matter of the treasure to Dong Zhuo, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, after all, these things are not trivial, if the news leaks, it is not something that Dong Shouye and his own people can bear, and when the time comes, the duties of the Manchu Dynasty and the spit of the people of the world can drown the three of their brothers. Since it has now been reported to Dong Zhuo, and the powerful Prime Minister Dong Cheng will shelter them from the wind and rain, there is naturally no problem. Zhang Liao said again: "Third brother, this batch of treasures is quite precious, why didn't they be dedicated to the Prime Minister, in that case, the Prime Minister will be very happy." ”

Dong Shouye replied loudly: "Two brothers, when the incident happened suddenly, after I got this batch of treasures, I immediately reported to my father, and prepared to dedicate this batch of treasures to my father. But he was rejected by his father, saying that the treasure was of little use to him, and that there were many people in the army, and there were many relatives, and the distribution was also a problem. The equipment is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to assemble it. This batch of equipment can only arm more than 10,000 people in total, but the Xiliang army has two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and it is inevitable that there will be dissatisfaction with who will not give it to whom. It's just at my disposal, even if someone from the other generals learns about this, I, as my father's son-in-law, have nothing to say. ”

Xu Huang thought for a while and said: "Third brother, there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses under your command now, of which the elite people and horses are more than 8,000 elite people of the Grizzly Bear Army allocated to you by the Prime Minister, as well as the rest of the 10,000 people of the Xiyuan Army, and the rest are all people who surrendered, although they are all young and strong, and they have also participated in the war, but if they become elite troops, it will definitely take a period of training." If we can arm our troops with this batch of equipment, we will be able to increase our combat power a lot at once! ”

Dong Shouye said: "What the eldest brother said, the younger brother also thinks so in his heart. After a pause, he took out two horse-chopping swords from the box next to him, handed them to Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, and said, "Can the two brothers recognize this?" ”

Xu Huang looked at it and touched it, only to see that this thing had a double-sided blade, but the appearance was strange, it should be a sword, but it was much bigger than an ordinary sword, it could be called a giant sword, a big sword. After all, I didn't recognize what kind of weapon it was. At this time, Zhang Liao said: "Third brother, is this thing a war horse sword?" ”

Dong Shouye saw that Zhang Liao recognized this thing, so he said: "Second brother, this thing is the horse sword, since the second brother recognizes this thing, then you might as well explain it to the eldest brother." ”

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "This thing is also a divine weapon made by Emperor Wu of my dynasty, saying: Kill the horse." Mainly to fight against the Xiongnu. It is extremely sharp, and it can cut the cavalry into two sections with men and horses, so it is called a horse sword. Foot combat, horse combat, and even water combat are applicable. The Book of Han contains: Wang Mang made Wu to defeat Dong Zhong by cutting off his horse. Hanshu. The Biography of Zhu Yun also contains: The minister is willing to give Shang Fang to cut off the horse, cut off the head of the minister, and force the rest. I asked who was deflated to the day of Anchanghou Zhang Yu. ”

Xu Huang sighed after hearing this: "It's really a divine weapon!" ”

Dong Shouye took out two strong bows and handed them to the two brothers, only to see that the bows of these two bows were made of fine birch, and the bowstrings were fine beef tendons with excellent elasticity.

Dong Shouye said: "Big brother, the younger brother has already let the two thousand guards be equipped with the ring head knife and hook inlay, the younger brother thinks so, the eldest brother is good at commanding the soldiers, I intend to let the five thousand men and horses under the command of the eldest brother all be equipped with strong bows to form a pure archer army, I don't know what the eldest brother wants." ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he was taken aback and said: "The third brother's words are true, and he can really equip all the five thousand men and horses led by the brother to attack so strongly." "Why are you so surprised Xu Huang, first of all, there are very few princes in the world who can come up with five thousand archers at once, and it is estimated that Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu can do it. It is estimated that Dong Zhuo can come up with 5,000 archers, and no one will object, after all, the strength is there, let alone 5,000, more than 10,000. As for why Yuan Shu was able to come up with it, this will be discussed in a later chapter. Moreover, when Xu Huang was in the Baibo army, the more than 100,000 Baibo troops only made up more than 3,000 archers, and the bows and arrows were all made of bamboo, which was not at the same grade as the bows and arrows made of birch.

Dong Shouye heard Xu Huang's words, smiled and said, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." After that, he laughed out loud with Xu Huang and Zhang Liao.

After a while, Dong Shouye said to Zhang Liao again: "The second brother was born in Bingzhou, and he has been in the Bingzhou army for a long time, and he is good at commanding cavalry, which is obvious to all, I want the second brother's soldiers and horses to be equipped with 2,000 horse swords and 2,000 hard bows." ”

Zhang Liao said: "Third brother, such a precious horse sword, why don't the troops directly under the third brother equip it?" ”

Dong Shouye said: "Second brother, my two thousand guards have been equipped with the ring head knife and the hook inlay, the power of this ring head knife is no worse than the horse sword, and it can be said that it is more than that, plus the hook inlay used in the defense, the combat power should not be underestimated, as for the rest of the people and horses, I have other arrangements." The second brother should consider the combination of cavalry and hard crossbow troops in future training and warfare. In fact, Dong Shouye knew that the horse chopping sword would gradually be replaced by the back ring head knife or the later horse chopping knife due to manufacturing inconvenience and performance problems in the future. Dong Shouye is also preparing to try his best to study and build a ring-headed knife before the sword is gradually lost, and strive for mass manufacturing. Whether it is the Mo knife of the Sui and Tang dynasties or the horse chopping knife of the Song Dynasty, as well as various standard knives of the Ming and Qing dynasties, they are all developed and evolved from the ring head knife.

After speaking, he took out two ring-headed knives and handed them to Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, and said, "Big brother, second brother, I intend to use the ring-head knife as the saber of the generals under my command, and cancel the saber." Although the sword is elegant, it is known as the gentleman among the hundred soldiers, but after all, it is not as good as the ring head sword, sharp and good at chopping, and murderous Ling Ran, in the future, we literati saber, martial saber, what do the two brothers think. ”

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao naturally couldn't put it down when they saw the murderous ring-headed knife in front of them, and they had no objections.

At this time, Xu Huang said again: "Two virtuous brothers, the world is in chaos right now, and the princes support their own troops and do not obey the court. It is when we are waiting to use force, the three of us, the three of us, who are righteous in life and death, can train and talk about martial arts, and assist the third brother to make some earth-shattering achievements in the future. ”

So the three brothers, six big hands clasped together.

After a while, after the three brothers finished sensationalizing, Dong Shouye said again: "Big brother, second brother, I recently ordered someone to collect some refined steel to recast weapons for the two brothers. The big axe weighing 60 pounds used by the eldest brother, I ordered someone to imitate the eldest brother's axe to recast a big axe, weighing about 64 pounds, big brother, please see. After that, he led Xu Huang and Zhang Liao to a camp tent, only to see three weapons on a weapon rack, a big axe, a big knife, and a spear.

Xu Huang took a look, this big axe is murderous, the whole body is cast for 100 steel, repeated exercise, naturally into a pattern, can't help but be overjoyed, said: "This axe pattern is born from 100 refinements, why not call it 100 refining Xuanhua mountain axe!" ”

When Dong Shouye heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought: Isn't the Xuanhua axe Cheng Biting Jin's weapon, is it also crossed now, and he kindly helped the eldest brother build a big axe, but he didn't expect it to hit this matter crookedly, which is really unexpected! He smiled and said, "It's good that the eldest brother is happy." ”

turned around and said to Zhang Liao: "Second brother, I see that your marksmanship hides knife skills, and the younger brother estimates that the second brother should be a sword and gun, so he took the initiative and created a big knife for the second brother, weighing seven hundred and forty-nine pounds." Second brother, please take a look. ”

Zhang Liao saw that a large knife was about one zhang long, made of 100 steel, the head of the knife was about four feet long (a little more than 90 centimeters), and the handle was about six feet long (about one meter and four). The combination of the knife head and the handle is golden, obviously plated with gold, into the shape of a dragon's head, and there is a short hook, the head of the knife is crescent-shaped, and the pattern made of a hundred refining is naturally paved. The master used to practice guns, and after a small success, he should practice a big knife, and then from the gun into the knife, and finally the knife technique was completed and taught to me. As a brother, he also practiced marksmanship first, and then changed to practice broadsword after his marksmanship was accomplished. Now that my brother feels that I can start practicing the knife, the third brother will create such a treasure knife for my brother, which is exactly what I want. The connection between the handle of this knife and the blade of the knife is gilded, and there is a hook, which is called the Yellow Dragon Hook Sickle. ”

Dong Shouye listened, and secretly said that this was the case, and he didn't make a mistake, and said: "It's good that the two brothers are happy." ”
