Chapter 159: Straightforward Advice

Thanks to the book friend "Rumble Book Friend", Harley is a legend, (scarecrow), Jie Yu, Zhang Genshuo, and Bandu Strike for their generous rewards. In the new week, the brothers who have recommended tickets for the monthly ticket voted, thank you.

……

In an instant, one hundred and fifty paces away, the ground was covered with dense steel arrows.

There was an exclamation on the high platform, no one had ever seen such a scene, Li Longji's eyes lit up and he laughed. The Anxi athletes quickly put the Yuan Rong crossbow into the leather box behind them, and then continued to rush forward.

"Throw!"

At the moment when the speed of the war horse increased to the maximum, with Ma Lu's short order, the Anxi athletes pulled out their short spears from their backs at the same time and threw them vigorously forward. After throwing four waves of short spears in a row, the athletes took off their heavy knives from the saddle one by one.

"Great! Great! Li Longji's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "If all the border armies in the world are like this, why worry about injustice!" ”

Chen Xuanli also smiled and said: "God bless the Tang Dynasty, Weichen congratulates Your Majesty!" Yuanrong crossbow and other sharp weapons are the first of my Tang Dynasty, if there are tens of thousands of Han family sons and daughters like the generation in front of them, it is easy to sweep away Hulu! With such a sharp weapon born, Weichen felt that what Ma Renjie said was unfounded. ”

Eight hundred Mo Dao knights roared past the school ground, shouting in unison, and the Mo Dao flashed in the sun. Standing on the high platform, the Tang Emperor remembered what Princess Yuzhen said, and his heart was even happier.

Before the army reached the high platform again, Ma Lu led eight hundred athletes to bow down on horseback, and Li Longji laughed and said, "Okay! Very good! It is worthy of being the best soldier in the world, the Tang Anxi Iron Army! Reward! Each person was given 20 taels of money and 20 pieces of silk, all of which came out of the inner treasury! ”

Eight hundred athletes shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Li Longji laughed, and the athletes were also extremely happy.

In fact, 20 yuan and 20 pieces of silk are a lot of money for the border troops elsewhere, but it is nothing to them, but this is a gift from the Son of Heaven, and there are not many things, but they represent glory. The wealth given by the Son of Heaven was brought back to Anxi, and it was the glory of several lifetimes.

"Ma Qing, borrow the Yuan Rong crossbow to let me take a look!"

Ma Lan dismounted and ascended to the high platform, presenting the Yuanrong crossbow with both hands. Li Longji held the Yuan Rong crossbow, and quickly learned to wind it under Ma Luan's explanation, and ten steel arrows were pressed into the groove by his own hands, and Chen Xuanli ordered the cavalry of the Longwu Army to put down a few armored puppets a hundred steps away.

With the help of Ma Lu, Li Longji adjusted the Yuanrong crossbow to single-shot shooting mode, squinted his eyes and aimed at the puppet through Wangshan, and after gently buckling the bracket, a steel arrow flew out and hit the puppet's helmet.

The cheers on the high platform were similar, and the Anxi athletes under the high platform also cheered in unison, Li Longji laughed, and continuously pulled the motive again and again, shooting out the ten steel arrows one by one, and actually hit all of them at the position of the puppet's head and chest, and the ten steel arrows easily pierced the dilapidated Mingguang armor on the puppet's body.

"Your Majesty is mighty!" Xu Guogong Chen Xilie shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty is mighty!" The military generals shouted in unison, mixed with the coquettish voices of the concubines and concubines. Li Longji was extremely happy to hear this, looked at Ma Lan and said with a smile: "Ma Qing, can you give this Yuanrong crossbow to me?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Whoever makes the family the Son of Heaven has to thank you for asking for your things. Ma Lu also presented the leather bag containing the steel arrow, and handed the leather box containing the Yuan Rong crossbow to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, I came from Anxi this time, and I specially brought fifty Yuanrong crossbows to offer to Your Majesty. This is a little bit of Weichen's heart, and I hope Your Majesty can accept it. ”

He came to Chang'an this time to hug his thighs, and fifty Yuanrong crossbows were originally intended to be given to Yang Guozhong, but now that he and the Yang family have torn their faces, it is naturally better to give them to the Son of Heaven to hug Li Longji's thickest thigh.

"Well, good!" Li Longji nodded and said with a smile, "You have a heart." You said in the chapter that a Yuan Rong crossbow costs 500 yuan, and the value of these 50 Yuan Rong crossbows is 25,000 yuan. Give me such a generous gift, say, what do you want? ”

Ma Ling smiled and said: "It's nothing, Your Majesty allowed me to expand the army in Anxi, and the most urgent thing is the Mingguang armor, and the treasury of Anxi Mansion has been searched by Weichen." His Majesty pities Anxi Jian'er, and if he can find some Mingguang armor from the general prison to Weichen, he will be grateful. ”

Li Longji laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm ready!" Ma Qing, you can go and see the things in the prison yourself, even if you take it if it is useful, I am also waiting for you to take the Tang Dynasty Jian'er to the sky! However, there is one thing, the Yuanrong crossbow is not unique to the Anxi army, so when you go to the general to look for something, by the way, give them a copy of the manufacturing method of the Yuanrong crossbow, and let them try to make some too. ”

Ma Lan twitched the corners of his mouth, and his heart really said this, and he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers of the Yuanrong crossbow will be the generals as prisoners, but I'm afraid they won't be able to make them." ”

"Why?" Li Longji frowned and said, "Although Li Xiu is a great talent, there are many skilled craftsmen in the prison, how can he not make it if he has a manufacturing method?" ”

Ma Lan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the method of manufacturing this Yuanrong crossbow is extremely complicated, and the most important thing is this kind of soft steel. This kind of soft steel is made from an iron ore mine unique to Qiuzi, and iron miners elsewhere have also tried it, but it has not worked. If this kind of soft steel cannot be refined, it is useless to have a way to make it. Even if it costs thousands of dollars, it is impossible to build this Yuan Rong crossbow. ”

Li Longji thought for a moment, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, glanced at Ma Lan and said, "Since this is the case, this is difficult to do." You still leave it to them and let them try it. If it doesn't work, think of another way. ”

Ma Ling nodded repeatedly. The steel used to make the Yuanrong crossbow can only be produced by the Ma family's workshop, and it is nothing to give the manufacturing method of the Yuanrong crossbow to the generals, they will definitely not be able to make it.

It's not that he has the intention of hiding his selfishness, but he really doesn't want this kind of sharp weapon to fall into the hands of people with bad intentions. This kind of weapon can't be stopped by Mingguang armor, if it falls into the hands of An Lushan's generation, it will be a big trouble for Datang.

When the scourge of the Anshi Rebellion was eliminated, he didn't mind that he would be the supervisor of the public steelmaking method. The more Yuan Rong crossbows are built, the smaller the losses of the Han family will be when they fight again.

Li Longji asked him to put away his Yuanrong crossbow, and said with a smile: "This thing is too expensive, I can just ask for one, and it's useless to have more." In this way, I have ordered someone to go to Fanyang to summon An Lushan into Beijing, and the fifty Yuanrong crossbows will be put here in Longwujun first, and I will give them to him when An Lushan comes. The border army is strong, Chang'an is naturally fine, such a sharp weapon is useless in Chang'an City, how can it be put in the hands of the border army to kill the enemy. When An Lushan comes, let him take it back to Hebei. ”

Chen Xilie shouted loudly again: "Your Majesty Shengming! The crowd on the high platform cheered in unison.

Ma Lan shouted, and countless grass and mud horses roared past in his heart.

I'm really afraid of anything, although there are not many fifty Yuan Rong crossbows, but they can fall into the hands of An Lushan, a miscellaneous beard, and it will be the Han family who will fight back in the future.

But the Son of Heaven Chrysostom said, what else can he do if he says this?

"Your Majesty! Cannot! No! At this moment, Yang Guozhong, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, suddenly shouted, his face flushed.

"Yang Zhao!" Li Longji's face turned pale with anger, and he said angrily, "You still talk like that, don't you?" This time, when An Lushan arrives in Beijing, I see what else you have to say! ”

Yang Guozhong kowtowed again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty think twice!" Your Majesty think twice! When the literature of the past was public, he saw An Lushan, and once said, 'Those who mess with China must be this Hu also!' ’! This miscellaneous jackal's ambition, if he gets such a sharp weapon again, when something happens in the future, he is only afraid that disaster will not follow! Your Majesty, this must not be done, never allowed! ”

"Yang Zhao!"

Li Longji was furious and kicked Yang Guozhong suddenly.

He has heard Yang Guozhong say these things many times, and this time he summoned An Lushan to Beijing, that is, to listen to Yang Guozhong's advice and try An Lushan's loyalty. However, he didn't believe that An Lushan would rebel in his heart, and he expected An Lushan to come this time.

It's nothing to say in private, Yang Guozhong is the prime minister, and this is also his duty. Today, Yang Guozhong didn't know what was crazy, but he said such a thing in front of the public, and there was no room for things to turn around.

Listening to Yang Guozhong's words, there was an uproar on the high platform. An Lushan is now a saint, and Yang Guozhong openly buckled such a hat on An Lushan's head, which is definitely a big deal.

"Your Majesty! How can the weapon of the kingdom be put into the hands of thieves? It's never possible, it's not possible! Yang Guozhong grabbed the ground with his head and shouted repeatedly.

Li Longji was so angry that his mouth was crooked, and he kicked Yang Guozhong again, and he stumbled himself. Ma Luan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly held on.

"Yang Zhao! When Zhang Jiuling was the prime minister, you were just a small official, when did he say such a thing to you! Do you think I will believe such vain words? ”

"There are also people who have said in front of me that the golden sword is chaotic, if I believe such false words, how can I worship you as a face! An Lushan alone resisted the two captives in the Northeast and made meritorious contributions to the country, how can such heroes allow you to slander them! ”

"Today, you first said that Ma Qing was holding the Yuanrong crossbow less than three hundred steps away from me, and then slandered An Lushan like this, what is your intention!"

This time Li Longji was really angry, since Yang Guozhong brought his private words to the surface, he no longer gave Yang Guozhong any face, even the face of the concubine was ignored.

When Ma Ling heard this, he knew that Yang Guozhong wanted to yin himself again today, and he was even more angry in his heart.

However, Yang Guozhong said that he would not give the Yuan Rong crossbow to An Lushan, but Ma Lu strongly agreed. Such a thing was given to An Fat, and Ann Fatman was not like a tiger.

Yang Guozhong saw that the Son of Heaven mentioned the proverb of the Golden Sword Chaos Tang again, his face was pale and he no longer spoke, but just kowtowed desperately. Li Longji was furious, and no one on the high platform dared to speak.

"I am sincere to An Lushan, how can I doubt him!" Li Longji was furious, looked at Ma Lan and said, "Ma Qing! After you return to Anxi, you must speed up the manufacture of Yuanrong crossbows, prepare one hundred sets of Yuanrong crossbows every month, and send them to Fanyang An Lushan through the Hui Road! Now Tubo is no longer a problem, there is no need for this thing on the right side of Longyou for the time being, but the two captives in the northeast are the big thieves of the country, and there are more such sharp weapons in the Hebei army, and the loss of Hebei Erlang will be less. ”

When Ma Lu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.

I'm really afraid that there are ghosts everywhere, and I send a hundred Yuanrong crossbows to An Fat Man every month, and An Fat Man will definitely die of laughter.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really difficult. A hundred yuan crossbow is fifty thousand yuanβ€”"

Even if the Son of Heaven was angry, Ma Lan had to speak up. In case the assassination of An Fatzi fails this time, An Fatzi returns to Hebei safely, and he will send him a hundred Yuanrong crossbows every month, thinking that Ma Lu will go crazy.

"You don't have to worry about the money, I won't ask you for nothing. I am not consulting with you, this is the will! Li Longji had a gloomy face and said in a cold voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Wechen will definitely do it! Ma Lan was depressed in his heart, but he responded very simply.

"Traitor! Traitor! Yang Guozhong glared at Ma Ling with red eyes, gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, "The great Tang Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of your generation!" ”

This is the curse of the naked, where can Li Longji endure it, and shouted angrily: "Palm!" Several lieutenants looked at each other and hurriedly walked over.

"Your Majesty trusts An Lushan, Datang is in danger!" Yang Guozhong burst into tears, and before the lieutenant approached, he was already crackling.

The corners of Ma Lan's mouth twitched, is this still Yang Guozhong in the history books? Where is this traitorous minister, it's just a goddamn loyal minister who is outspoken. On the contrary, he was dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, but he was labeled a traitor by this traitor, and he was really not depressed.

One hundred Yuan Rong crossbows in a month, what the hell is this called? However, this is the will of the Son of Heaven, and it cannot be violated at all.

It seems that we must invest more money, and we must try to kill An Fatzi in Chang'an. Otherwise, Fat Man An returned to Fan Yang alive, and this will will not be obeyed, nor will it be obeyed. (To be continued.) )
