Chapter 272: On the third day of the first month of November, the essence of the Roman phalanx

"More than a dozen people are counted as a ball, those kings and turtles in my village, envy what kind of armor food, I heard that the Sichuan army is recruiting troops in Fuling, there is money and food, and dozens of them have run."

"What miserable are you guys? Those girls in my tribe, I heard that if you marry a Han person, you can become a Han person, the Han people are well fed and warm, live in a good house, work easily, have beautiful clothes to wear, and by exchanging salt and prey with the Han people, they all ran down the mountain to be daughters-in-law for the Han people. ”

"They think the Han people are good, so let them go, the Han people are not only cowardly, not heroic, for the women in our places, they are harsh and scolded at every turn, these women are blind, they are left to fend for themselves." A lord leader interjected.

The previous leader snorted, "Leave to fend for yourself? You said it lightly, the girls are gone, who will give you a baby? Without the girl, those warriors will have to run. ”

"Alright." The lord of the Wuxi tribe, Bao Jin, let out a loud shout.

Wuxi because of the Wushui, the terrain is dangerous, although the tribe is few, but it is the bravest tribe, this treasure gold is also born a rough air, the voice is loud, roared, those village owners and cave masters, all shut up.

Baojin Xiangye Wu Railway: "King, just tell me what to do about this, Liu Zhang's name is reward, but in fact, he is stripping away our Wuxi tribes, first the four imperial examinations, the Aguda of Chenxi and the warriors admired by all ethnic groups have been recruited."

Later, the army was recruited, and the recruiting platform was set up in Fuling City, what rewarded the field and knighted, and the Han people became Han people, all of them harbored evil intentions, and the king said, what should we do. ”

"yes." The lord of the Yuexi tribe said loudly: "At the beginning, we obeyed the order of the King of Wutie and did not disturb Liu Zhang's territory, but now it's good, all around us are Liu Zhang's territory, this year's ghost weather is much hotter than in previous years, the prey does not come out, and the warriors have gone down the mountain to join the Han people in order to survive the winter, and the days on this mountain are even more sad." ”

"yes, yes." Everyone agreed, obviously what happened to Wuxi Chenxi was not owned by the family.

At the beginning, about 3,000 of the 6,000 barbarian soldiers led by Shamoke were from Youxi, and the rest were sent by other tribes.

Ye Wutie was shirtless, carrying a jar of wine on his dark arms, and placed it on the stone platform, with a black face, and he didn't have the intention of drinking at all.

Ye Wutie sighed and said: "Everyone, I, Ye Wutie, understand everyone's feelings, but this king promised Liu Zhang that as long as Liu Zhang is in power, he will not invade the territory, not to mention that Liu Zhang also saved my life, how can I go back on my word."

Personally, I don't have a good deal, but I can't let the Han people and those people in Nanzhong think that our Wuxi is a place that doesn't pay attention to faith. ”

"But is it up to our warriors and maidens to descend the mountain? If this continues, those people in Nanzhong will be bullied on our heads. The owner of a village near Nanzhong shouted.

"That's right."

"Yes." ”

Wuxi lord Baojin bowed to Ye Wutie and said: "King, we understand your difficulties, and our Wuxi is by no means a place where we don't talk about faith, but at the beginning, we said that we wouldn't attack Liu Zhang, and he couldn't beat our minds, but Liu Zhang is now making moves one after another, and the knife is stabbing us in the heart, he is unkind first, and we are unrighteous last, which is in line with the way of heaven, not to mention, we only promised not to invade Yizhou, but we didn't say Jingzhou." ”

"That's it, Liu Zhang deceived people too much, robbing Jingzhou."

"Grab Jingzhou, grab Jingzhou."

The crowd was restless, many of the village owners shouted and shouted, Xiao Furong saw it from a distance in an earthen house, her heart was anxious, and she was about to go out with the white jade sword, and Sang Ye hurriedly pulled it.

"Madame, what are you doing out there?"

"If I don't go out again, they will fight with the Sichuan army."

Originally, Xiao Furong returned to Wuxi to relax and relax a little, but he didn't expect to come back and feel more blocked, almost every day, the owner of the village came to find Ye Wutie, calling the host justice, opening his mouth and closing his mouth to lead the troops down the mountain, and the owner of the village was also indignant.

Ye Wutie was almost unrestrained, and as the days went by, Xiao Furong could see that although Ye Wutie did not say it explicitly, he was also dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's decree, especially Abu and other prestige Youxi leaders often complained, Ye Wutie drank and sighed every day, but he didn't say a word to Xiao Furong.

Every time she heard Daddy's sigh, Xiao Furong's heart was pinched.

As a native of Wuxi, Xiao Furong certainly knows the difficulties of these leaders in Wuxi, but as Liu Zhang's woman, who has been by Liu Zhang's side for so long, how can she not know Liu Zhang's good intentions in doing this.

Xiao Furong was in a dilemma on both sides, and she was not tormented in her heart, but she was afraid that if these clansmen impulsively took the warriors down the mountain, it would be completely overwhelmed.

"Madam, it's useless for you to go out now." Sang Ye shouted: "You went out to favor the imperial uncle, and it will arouse the dissatisfaction of these people, so many tribes, where can the king restrain him?" ”

"What if there is a fight?" Xiao Furong's forehead wrinkled slightly, looking at the mulberry leaves, full of anxiety.

Sang Ye glanced at the noisy leaders outside, and said to Xiao Furong: "If they want to go, let them go, as long as the king doesn't give an order, and the cave master acts privately, what can they do?" Just let them suffer some losses and have a long memory. ”

Xiao Furong looked back at the mulberry leaf who didn't care, and felt that what Mulberry Ye said was very reasonable, if some tribes in Wuxi went down the mountain without permission and suffered a big loss, they would indeed be reined in.

But Mulberry is considered from the perspective of the Han people, although Xiao Furong is Liu Zhang's wife, but she also has inseparable feelings for the Wuxi people, whether it is Youxi people or not, how can Xiao Furong bear that they die in vain, or fight with her husband?

Xiao Furong looked at the noisy crowd outside, and couldn't think of a better way, sat down, lifted a large jar of wine and started drinking, Sang Ye looked at it in surprise, since she knew this lady, she had never seen Xiao Furong like this, she used to work hard to learn Han women's etiquette, and Sang Ye mistakenly thought that Xiao Furong was just a little brute little woman.

As a result of the alliance, in the end, because Ye Wutie did not express his position, the leaders of the tribes left Shanshan, and they were all unhappy.

In Chengdu, Liu Zhang took his own soldiers to inspect the craftsman's room, and it was already midnight when he came back.

In a month's time, the craftsman's room has completed the three-level reorganization of the high-level intermediate ordinary, stirrups, saddles, horseshoes and other uncomplicated things, all of which have been sampled, and the paper has been able to initially make a paper that is cheap and easy to use, but it is just experimenting with some details in order to be more perfect.

The ink is still using the ink tested by Huang Yueying, and when the printing technology is sintering movable type, it encounters some technical obstacles, the reprinting is not clear, and the movable type is easy to deform, etc., but over time, it should also be able to succeed.

New waterwheels, overturners, as well as pumps, rakes and other agricultural tools, have all been handed over to the workshop for production, and handed over to the local government and private merchants to buy and sell, some farmers around Chengdu have been used, Huang Yueying's details such as land protection, field raising, crop planting and other details, also looking for official farms in the experiment.

Hook sickle gun, Changge and other weapons are stepping up to build, everything is going well, Liu Zhang will go to Xicheng and the southern suburbs to inspect almost every two or three days, and the workers and craftsmen in the workshop and the craftsman's house are more interested.

But this also almost tired Liu Zhang half to death, now there are more and more workshops, and the scale of the craftsman's room is getting bigger and bigger, and he can no longer complete the inspection at once as before.

There used to be only ten official workshops, but now from the Tianzi workshop, the ground character workshop, and the three-character workshop, it has developed to more than 700 workshops, covering weaving and embroidery, farms, breeding farms, porcelain, furniture, toys and other aspects.

As soon as Liu Zhang came back, the lotus came up to serve and bathe, washed the sweat mud from the scorching sun, changed into clean clothes, and felt much more comfortable. ”

Now there is not only ready-made hot water, but also the fragrance of laurel, so that Liu Zhang also realized the benefits of being a master, Liu Zhang lay comfortably on the bed, Huang Yue walked in, and gently put a bowl of cool white fungus soup on the bedside table, Liu Zhang glanced at Huang Yue with a smile, pulled her into his arms, and caressed her through thin clothes, Huang Yue only struggled for a while, and then obediently sat in Liu Zhang's arms.

"Adult ......"

"It's still called an adult, didn't you say don't call it that when no one is around?"

Huang Yue's face flushed slightly, "Well, then, let's drink the white fungus soup earlier, so that I can sleep better, and I have to get up early tomorrow to practice the sword." ”

After Xiao Furong left, Liu Zhang found that he was used to getting up early to practice swords, and he had to ascend to the palace in the morning, and it was nothing to get up half an hour early.

It's just that it's so hard, this thing has always thought that Xiao Furong is gone, and he can be relaxed, but he didn't expect to be dragged by Liu Zhang to practice hammering, and he thought that his "salary" was low, and he was depressed when he flipped through Huang Yueying's hammer book every day.

"Then give me a thump on the back."

Liu Zhang said in an atmospheric manner, turned over and lay down as he spoke, with his back to Huang Yue, waiting for Huang Yue to make a move.

Huang Yue looked at Liu Zhang angrily, Liu Zhang just came back for a few days, and when he saw that he was tired, he massaged him once a night, but now it's good, and he has developed a temper.

Huang Yue's eyes were lightly disgusted, but his delicate hand couldn't help but go up, gently pinching the acupuncture points on Liu Zhang's back, and gently hammering a few times from time to time, Liu Zhang unfolded a letter of letters, took the chilled white fungus soup, and drank it while reading.

In the scorching summer night, this cold thing enters the throat, which is really not ordinarily comfortable, coupled with Huang Yue's authentic technique, just the right pinching, and Huang Yue's pink buttocks touched Liu Zhang's lower waist from time to time through the thin clothes in order to facilitate the massage, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel his thoughts ripple and let out a sigh of relief.

Huang Yue saw Liu Zhang so proud, and his heart was even more angry, and he couldn't help pinching Liu Zhang's back.

"I'm going to pass through the door in a few days, and now it's so rude, be careful that the family law will serve you when the time comes." Huang Yue didn't use any force, Liu Zhang only felt it, and couldn't help but joke.

Huang Yueqiao's face flushed, when she didn't confirm the relationship with Liu Zhang, why didn't she find out that this person was so improper, she seemed to have entered a wolf's den, she was resentful, looking at Liu Zhang's back, and at this time she really wanted to use her nails to pinch him a small piece of meat.

Huang Yue quietly pinched for Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang was drinking white fungus soup while reading a book, the light was bright, Huang Yue suddenly said: "Husband, the concubine will discuss things for you." ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Zhang said casually.

Huang Yue put his palms on Liu Zhang's back, added some force when he pinched it, and said, "I think, we should not have a wedding this month." ”

"Huh?" Liu Zhang turned his head in surprise and looked at Huang Yue: "Don't you want to marry me?" Alas, I've been treating you badly these days......"

Liu Zhang was about to explain his temper in the past few days, Huang Yue hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Yue'er is willing to marry her husband, and she is willing to ...... from the heart."

Huang Yueqiao's face turned red, Liu Zhang turned his head, Huang Yue said softly while massaging: "The husband is so hard outside, when he comes back, the concubine should naturally make the husband feel more comfortable, in fact, the husband is already very good to Yue'er, he is not particularly spoiled, it is a woman who really treats Yue'er as a husband, Yue'er is very happy."

However, recently, my husband has been so busy, and I have to supervise agricultural businessmen, inspect workshops, and train soldiers, the four imperial examinations have just ended, many new officials have to be assigned and assessed, Jingzhou has to be rebuilt, and I have returned from more than nine months of war, everything is complicated, and my husband can't sleep for three hours every day, how can I let my husband and all the civil and military departments worry about our marriage. ”

"Those civil and military officers are happy to worry about it." Liu Zhang said.

Those civil and military officers are indeed very happy, but they are afraid of Liu Zhang, for fear that when Xiao Furong comes back, Liu Zhang insists on making Xiao Furong his wife, then they will have no skills to return to heaven and regret their liver and intestines.

How good Huang Yue is, in their opinion, Huang Yue has manners, knows etiquette, was born into a famous family, and marrying Liu Zhang will definitely become a model for women in Sichuan, which is very suitable in their hearts, but they don't want to have any more moths.

So since Liu Zhang announced that Huang Yue was his wife, it was a celebration all over the world, and the ministers were busy with Liu Zhang and Huang Yue's wedding, which was willing, for fear that if one link was not done well, the wedding date would be delayed.

"They are them." Huang Yue said slowly: "At the beginning of the husband's great career, you should put all your thoughts on the great cause, not to mention, Yue'er thought about it, Miss Xiao was the first husband than Yue'er, but Yue'er later became a wife, and her husband was already very sorry for her."

What's more, Miss Xiao doesn't have a wedding, how can Yue'er bother her husband, when Miss Xiao used the wedding to create an opportunity for her husband to sneak attack Jingnan, if Yue'er must make her husband worry about her petty temperament when her husband is busy, isn't it too ignorant? What kind of face does Yue'er have to be her husband's wife? ”

Liu Zhang drank the white fungus soup one by one, thinking about Huang Yue's words in his heart, and felt that he was really sorry for Xiao Furong, Xiao Furong suffered so much grievance at the beginning, and endured it silently, and later the wedding of one of his daughter's families was used as a cover for a sneak attack, and it was uncomfortable for anyone, not to mention that Xiao Furong had to suffer the cold eyes of all the civil and military forces.

I promised to give Xiao Furong a make-up wedding in Jingnan, but before this wedding was held, I had to marry Huang Yue, and I also brought a Cao Xian, which was really not good.

Xiao Furong tolerated too much for herself, and she couldn't completely ignore her feelings.

After drinking the last mouthful of white fungus soup, Liu Zhang put the bowl on the table, thought for a while and said to Huang Yue: "It's still not good, Cao Cao's daughter is about to get married, although I don't care about Cao Cao, but if his daughter marries for a few months, I don't have a wife, and it's not good." ”

Looking back at Huang Yue, he still looked anxious, Liu Zhang said: "Actually, it's nothing, although the civil and military are preparing, but now that the money and food are tight, there will be no extravagance, and there will be no delay." ”

Huang Yue said "um" softly, although he wanted to be with Liu Zhang as soon as possible, but he always felt that it was not good to marry Liu Zhang at this time, and he was sorry for Xiao Furong, the marriage was like this, there was another misunderstanding before, how to get along with Xiao Furong in the future?

If the relationship between himself and Xiao Furong is stiff, he will definitely cause chaos for Liu Zhang, Huang Yue can't help but be a little anxious.

At this moment, Wang Xu shouted outside.

"What's the matter?" Liu Zhang asked.

Wang Xu let in a small soldier, and the soldier said: "Report to the lord, we sent someone from Fancheng to pick up relatives to send news that Cao Cao's daughter escaped halfway and is missing." ”

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and glanced back at Huang Yue, full of incredulity, he was still waiting for Cao Xian to come over and let her teach the Sichuan Army formation, but he didn't expect to run away like this, did he let her look down on him like this?

But the actions that need to be done still have to be done.

"How can it be?" Liu Zhang slapped on the bamboo slip, and with a "bang", Liu Zhang said angrily: "Cao thief deceived me too much, and ordered Fancheng to be strict, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, all the way into Sanfu, all the way into Wancheng." ”

Wang Xu was taken aback, this Jingyi Erzhou has just entered a rest, is it going to war again?

Liu Zhang continued: "Occupy the Qingni Pass, take the Chang'an refugees into Jingzhou, enter Wancheng, and loot the official mansion for me, the people can bring as much as they want, if Cao Cao doesn't give an explanation, he will continue to march and never give up." ”

Wang Xu suddenly understood, at the beginning and Cao Cao to strike the army and make peace, embarrassed to send troops, can only wait for the refugees to take refuge by themselves, now it is a robbery, anyway, Chang'an is in chaos, Wancheng is empty, there is a reason, just let the Sichuan army enter and exit at will, Cao Cao can't help it.

The creep immediately took the order and left.

"It's hateful." After Wang Xu went down, Liu Zhang was still a little angry.

Huang Yue smiled: "Is the husband really angry? ”

"Why aren't you angry? I didn't see a big girl in vain, and I ran away from marriage in public, so I didn't take Ben Hou seriously. ”

Liu Zhang did have some regrets in his heart, after hearing that Cao Xian's formation, even Huang Yueying couldn't see the obvious flaws, he wanted to take that girl away, even if it was saltless, he didn't hesitate to do it, now it's good, the bamboo basket is empty.

"Now that Miss Cao can't come, my husband should be able to agree to postpone the wedding, right?" Huang Yue said.

Liu Zhang glanced back at Huang Yue, turned back in frustration, and said lonely: "It's okay now, the two girls are missing for nothing." ”

Huang Yue looked at Liu Zhang, who was dejected, and wanted to laugh again and was sweet.

But soon there was a lot of sadness, why didn't I want to be with Liu Zhang as soon as possible, I have been suffering for a year, what I look forward to every day is to be with my beloved in red clothes and high candles, despair and loss many times, now we can finally be together, but I have to wait a few months, Huang Yue is more lonely than Liu Zhang.

"Husband, it's not early, Yue'er will go to sleep first, and then serve her husband tomorrow and get up early."

As soon as Huang Yue got out of bed, before she put on her embroidered shoes, Liu Zhang suddenly grabbed her hand, got up and hugged her from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Yue'er, the wedding has been postponed, so when are you going to give yourself to me?" ”

Huang Yue's ears were itchy from the heat, and listening to Liu Zhang's embarrassing words, her face blushed most of the time, and she murmured: "Now, in the past two months, my husband has been busy, and November is Mrs. Yun's day, and then it is the end of the year, Yue'er think about it, it will be like in early spring."

At that time, the New Year had passed, and the spring planting had not begun, Yue'er, Yue'er handed herself over, husband. The last sentence was as thin as a gossamer, and Liu Zhang, who was close at hand, almost didn't hear it.

"That's going to wait for almost half a year, Yue'er is so good and considerate, I can't wait." Liu Zhang was waited by Huang Yue every day, I only felt that she exuded femininity all over her body, for a month, I don't know how many times I couldn't restrain myself, and now I think about waiting for half a year, being taken care of by such an intellectual girl every day, I can't be sure that I can keep it.

"That, that's no way, isn't Yue'er, just wait." Huang Yue was in Liu Zhang's tight arms, only feeling hot all over, impatiently restless, wanting to get out of his arms, but a little reluctant.

"Even if I can wait, he can't wait."

"Who?"

Huang Yue was puzzled, Liu Zhang took Huang Yue's thin hand and guided him to a fiery existence, Huang Yue was startled, like a wounded rabbit, and suddenly retracted his hand.

"You, you, good, good or bad." Huang Yue angrily held back two words, wanting to open Liu Zhang's arms, but was tightly bound by Liu Zhang, and felt that Liu Zhang's body was getting hotter and hotter.

Huang Yue felt what Liu Zhang wanted to do, and there was an inexplicable panic in his heart, and he suddenly felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter.

"Yue'er is so beautiful and so good, my husband can't wait, will you give it to me tonight?" Liu Zhang said softly, gently stroking Huang Yue's body, from the slender waist to the proud chest, slowly kneading through the thin clothes.

Huang Yue muttered, "Don't, husband, don't, Yue'er isn't ready yet...... Hmmm......"

Huang Yue resisted weakly, Liu Zhang pressed Huang Yue down on the bed, his hand stayed on the sensitive part of his chest and rubbed it gently, and once again hit the wet red lips of the beauty, Huang Yue only struggled for a while, slowly closed his eyes, and quietly endured Liu Zhang's violation of himself, like a snake's waist and hips moving slowly, and his fragrant tongue was lightly spit out, blending into Liu Zhang's love and pity for himself.

I should have been his person, what is there sooner or later? What's more, haven't you been looking forward to this moment?

Under Liu Zhang's patient guidance, the happiness and sweetness in his heart filled his mind and affected his body, as if he wanted to make Liu Zhang feel all the lovesickness and love in the past year, and he welcomed Liu Zhang's rhythm.

…… Everything went smoothly, the Chongyang Festival in September and the frost in October all passed quickly, and all the complicated internal affairs were slowly on the right track, and there was a thriving scene.

On the third day of November, Liu Zhang and Huang Yue took Liu Xun and a group of maids to Luzhuping to worship their "Mrs. Yun", and returned home to celebrate Liu Xun's sixth birthday.

"Craftsman Fang Ma Jun, send a set of water dragon balls to Xungongzi." The protocol preached loudly with his mouth wide open.

Liu Zhang and Huang Yue each sat on the side of the table, Huang Yue was holding little Liu Xun in his arms, Liu Xun was very happy, his face was red, it was not that someone gave him a gift, but this year his father finally remembered his mother's death day and his birthday, and he finally had a new mother who loved him, so he was very happy.

Jiading brought up a plate of exquisite and transparent water pattern treasure, a dragon on it, non-gold and non-jade, simple texture, lifelike, lack of some luxury but more mysterious dragon, especially the water pattern floating eighteen beads, non-precious agate, Huang Yue guided Liu Xun to dial the dragon body, eighteen beads and the dragon body are moving, and send out beautiful and pleasant music, the end is ingenious.

"Do you like it?" Liu Zhang asked Liu Xun.

Liu Xun nodded and said, "I like it." ”

"The craftsman Fang Zuo Bo will send one copy of each of the hundred printed books of the sons of Xungongzi, such as "Poems", "Books", "Spring and Autumn", "Analects", and "The Art of War".

The family came in with a large plate of books, all of which were thin pamphlets, which were also the first batch of books printed by the craftsman's house after receiving the order to promote the hundred schools of thought.

Liu Zhang picked up a book and flipped a few pages, the paper was white, the hand felt better, the handwriting was clear, he nodded, and said to Liu Xun on the side: "Do you like it?" ”

"Yes." Liu Xun responded crisply, Liu Zhang smiled, he knew that Liu Xun liked to write poems, usually those bamboo slips were a lot in his house, and he didn't like the help of Ding Yahuan at a young age, every time he was hugged in and out with two small hands, but he was tired.

With these thin and light books, which are easy to consult and easy to move, Liu Xun is of course happy, obviously happier than the delicate Water Dragon Ball.

"There is no doubt about accompanying the reading week, and I will send a bamboo gun to Xun Gongzi."

After the protocol read it out loud, the originally happy civil and military and Yahuan Jiading, all of them collapsed, and the Jiading came in with a plate, and there was a verdant bamboo gun on the plate, and even a bamboo silk could not be seen at the place where it was cut, which showed the exquisite workmanship.

But what is this for?

The family felt embarrassed to come in with a bamboo gun.

The water dragon ball sent by Ma Jun is not a plaything, the light music can soothe people's body and mind, placed in front of Liu Xun's desk, if Liu Xun is tired of writing poems, as long as he dials it, he can relax his whole body.

Not to mention what Zuo Bo sent, the other civil and military gifts are also things that will help Liu Xun grow.

But this bamboo gun?

The civil and military people watched the family come in with a plate, and they all talked about it, if it weren't for Zhou Budo's fame, they would have quarreled a long time ago, only Zhou Budo strode in and stood at the end with his head held high.

Huang Yue frowned slightly, and said to Liu Zhang: "My lord, since Zhou Budo agreed to be Xun'er's companion, he either went out to walk the horse and play in the water, or played in the pavilion...... My lord, is that good? ”

After all, it was Zhou Budo who was arranged by Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang didn't say anything, Huang Yue naturally didn't say anything, but Huang Yue still felt bad, seeing Liu Xun a good child, although sometimes it looked a little stupid with Zhou Budo, but it was still very likable, Huang Yue didn't want Zhou Budo to bring his own child badly.

Liu Zhang thought about it for a while, Liu Xun is his own son, of course he can't waste his studies, but the problem is that now Liu Xun is about to become a learning maniac, in addition to writing poems and essays every day, if it weren't for Xiao Furong telling him to practice martial arts every day and keep fit, he would have become an authentic otaku, and he was only six years old.

Huang Yue stood in the perspective of the ancients, his head was cantilevered and his head was pierced, of course, the more diligent the better, but Liu Zhang knew that when the child was young, he couldn't indulge him to play, but he couldn't completely deprive him of his childlike fun, otherwise it would really become the elm head that Zhou Budo said.

Maybe you might as well catch a snake once in a while.

Liu Zhang smiled and said to Huang Yue: "Let him go first, I think Zhou Budo should be measured." ”

Huang Yue hesitated and nodded.

Liu Zhang picked up the bamboo gun on the plate and took a look, the main structure is a bamboo tube and an elastic piece, but a slot is opened next to the bamboo tube, and a handle is added, as if some semi-automatic rifles in later generations need to be pulled back, and the bullet will automatically jam in.

The delicate design of this handle not only saves effort than the ordinary children's bamboo gun directly buckle the elastic piece, but also can get the stone into when it is opened, which is very convenient.

"Do you like it?" Liu Zhang handed the bamboo gun to Liu Xun, and Liu Xun looked at the bamboo gun with a slumped face, and his little face was gloomy like water.

Liu Xun is a submissive character, when Xiao Furong tortured him, he endured it silently, although he was reluctant, he still insisted on practicing martial arts, Xiao Furong asked him to practice martial arts every day before he set out on the expedition, and he honestly insisted on it every day.

Now Zhou Budo bullied him, he didn't want to go out to catch birds and swim at all, let alone catch snakes, but Zhou Budo forced him as a companion, and Liu Zhang didn't say that Liu Xun still went obediently.

Now bring this bamboo gun again, Liu Xun doesn't want it in his heart, but seeing Liu Zhang playing with interest, he can only nod with a bitter face: "I like it." "Titus is aggrieved.

"Quxi, a Brazilian composer, will send three pairs of Xun Gongzi's battle armor, a short sword, and a pair of knight boots."

Five family members came in with plates, white light on them, all of them were cold metal, Qu Xi walked in from outside the door with an entourage.

"Quxi meets Master Hou." Qu Xi bowed to Liu Zhang.

"Qu Gongzi doesn't need to be polite."

Liu Zhang got up and looked at the three pairs of armor presented by Jia Ding in surprise, with different styles, déjà vu, and I can't say it, but it is definitely not the armor of the Han Dynasty now, and there is a double-edged short sword less than two feet, which looks extremely sharp, and the knight's boots are simple and light in the hand.

Liu Zhang picked up the short sword and said to Qu Xi: "It seems that this short sword is quite suitable for Xun'er." ”

Qu Xi bowed and said: "My lord, this short sword is the same as the armor knight boots, it is for the soldiers, and the grass people wish the adults to be strong soldiers and horses, sweep the world, and follow the son to have the blessing of adults, and naturally be happy and healthy." ”

"For soldiers?" Liu Zhang frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came into view, and a familiar picture came into view.

10,000 well-trained soldiers and horses, divided into two legions, one legion of 5,000 people, each legion divided into dozens of phalanxes, young soldiers, young soldiers, middle-aged soldiers, and old soldiers in turn.

Heavy shields, light javelins, heavy javelins, short swords, wandering cavalry.

When the enemy approaches the phalanx, the young soldier throws a light javelin, the young soldier throws a heavy javelin, and then flows to both sides to evacuate, while the whole phalanx opposes the enemy, after the young soldier throws the javelin, he collides with the enemy with his shield and fights in the first round of fighting, the shield blocks the enemy, and at the same time stabs out the short sword.

Then rotate with the core middle-aged soldiers of the army behind, and the experienced senior soldiers in the back as a reserve.

That's right, this is the invincible Roman legion that rampaged through Europe and Western Asia.

No matter how many people say how many flaws the phalanx has, no matter how many opponents the Romans have lost.

But since the defeat of the Romans to the Gauls hundreds of years ago, this tactic has protected the Romans for hundreds of years.

During the Three Kingdoms period, although the combat power of the Han cavalry had been confirmed in the Han Wu period, the phalanx tactics had no contact with the Han army's conical tactics and could not be directly compared, but in terms of the equipment used, the metallurgical technology of the Han Dynasty was inferior to that of Rome, and the sophistication of Roman armor was recognized by later generations.

The double-edged short sword introduced to Rome by the Spanish barbarians can easily crush people's **, which is inserted into the meat, as long as it turns, it can turn the enemy's meat into meat foam, known as minced meat Danchi (one of the Greek gods), and even the Macedonians, the "world conquerors" who faced the Spanish barbarians, were shocked.

Since the introduction of the Spanish double-edged sword to Rome, the power of the Roman legions has been greatly strengthened, and shields, short swords, armor, and spears have formed the basic elements of the phalanx.

Liu Zhang looked at the three items offered by Qu Xi, the soldier knight boots were obviously only available in Europe, and the Han people were never willing to use these expensive things on ordinary soldiers, which confirmed that the three pairs of armor and short swords were from Rome.

It's just that Liu Zhang still doesn't know, what is Qu Xi doing with these three things? Is it just a novelty?

"Yes." Liu Zhang nodded: "The armor, short sword, and knight boots are all good, they should be produced in Daqin (that is, Rome), this official has accepted it, and Gongzi Qu is invited to take a seat." ”

"Your Excellency." Qu Xi did not sit down, and said loudly: "The adult is really wise like a torch, Bo Gu Tong Jin, Qu Xi originally thought that no one knew these three things, but I didn't expect the adult to say a word, that's right, this armor, short sword, knight boots, are all produced by the Great Qin people, and I think that I am better than my Han, so I dedicated it to the adult and helped the adult sweep the world." ”

"Jokes." Before Liu Zhang could answer, a voice came out first, Xu Jing snorted lightly, walked out, and glanced at the armor short sword with disdain: "It's just a barbarian thing, it's very rare, I dare to say that it's better than me, I really don't know what to say." ”

The ministers also talked about it, and they all didn't believe it.

Qu Xi knew that there was such a result, and immediately bowed to Liu Zhang: "My lord, real gold is not afraid of fire, these three pieces of armor are chain mail, full-body ring armor and soft silk armor.

The chain mail and the chain mail we use are sparse and the protection ability is much worse, but it is also expensive, and it is used by regular Daqin soldiers.

The full-body ring armor is more expensive than the chain mail, it is used by the elite phalanx infantry, the whole body is protected, and even the eyes have a cover door, if you feel heavy, you can disassemble it appropriately.

Soft silk armor is more expensive than full-body ring armor, and it was used by the cavalry of the Great Qin nobles, and it was light and tough.

If anyone present does not believe it, they can compare the armor of our soldiers, or even the armor of the general, and you will know it by trying. ”

"I don't believe it, barbarian little things, blown up by you." Xu Jing still didn't believe it, but he was a literati and didn't understand military affairs, so how did he know how the armor of the Han army was.

Liu Zhang smiled and said loudly: "Why bother, aren't there two casting masters here?" Ma Jun, Zuo Bo, come out and take a look. ”

"I can't, I can't." Uncle Zuo waved his hand again and again, each with his own strengths, Uncle Zuo didn't know what armor was, and he didn't show off, so he didn't have to laugh and be generous.

Ma Jun walked over and picked up the whole body ring armor, the whole ring armor has only three parts, the head, the body, and the limbs, the body is formed as a whole, there is no sound of fish scale armor hitting the iron piece, it sounds very dull, the whole armor is very heavy, fortunately, Ma Jun often operates machinery, and his strength is not small.

Ma Jun took out the whole body armor, unfolded it up and down to check it, gently tapped and touched it with his hands from time to time, carefully inspected the incision, and picked up the fine soft silk armor, which was probably the weight of a cotton jacket, and he was extremely praised.

Zhou Budo also walked over to look at a few pieces of armor and nodded from time to time.

After putting the two pieces of armor on the plate, Ma Jun looked at the broken sword and knight's boots again, and bowed to Liu Zhang: "These three pairs of armor are indeed exquisitely made, especially the ring armor and soft silk armor, if the soldier wears it in battle, the enemy's spear penetrates, which can greatly reduce casualties, but." ”

Ma Jun bowed to Xu Jing, changed his words, and said to everyone: "To say that the smelting technology of the Great Qin people is superior to ours, it is a fallacy, not to mention the famous sword cast by Ou Yezi, the master of the Spring and Autumn Period, just say that the three divine soldiers in the world, Cao Thief's Heavenly Sword is rumored to be as sharp as clay, and it is said that Miss Xiao's white jade sword also cut off the assassin's sword with one sword, which is by no means comparable to this Great Qin short sword."

If you want to talk about armor, this ring armor is good, and the soft silk armor is even more exquisite, but its subtlety is not as good as my golden jade clothes, and the protection is not as good as my chain mail, our chain mail is far more delicate than this chain mail, and the soft silk armor is better than the silk armor on the lord's body. Is that ring armor superb just by covering the whole body? We can also make our chain mail full-body protection. ”

"Hahaha." The ministers laughed and nodded again and again, only to feel that it was much more relieved than the armor of the barbarians, and Xu Jing also looked at Qu Xi proudly.

Qu Xi felt the pressure and bowed to Liu Zhang: "Qu Xi is lonely and unheard, and he has lost his words, so please forgive me." ”

Liu Zhang naturally knew Ma Jun's intention to say that, and it could be seen from Ma Jun's expression and tone that Ma Jun admired the craftsmanship of these three pairs of armor and weapons.

Liu Zhang walked down, looked at the three pairs of armor and short swords again, and said loudly: "Ma Jun is right, how can the smelting technology of my Han people be comparable to barbarians, and some people may still have questions, so why don't our soldiers have such sophisticated armor and short swords?"

Let me tell you, the number of the Great Qin Legion is far less than that of my Great Han, of course they can strive for excellence, and we can easily dispatch tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people, of course, we can't have exquisite armor. ”
