Blacksmith Li was stunned when he heard this, his hands that were striking iron stopped instantly, and he looked up at Hua An's hand, but saw that the sword he had carefully built was broken in two, but the sword in Hua An's hand was not unusual, not even the blade was curled, which made him open his mouth wide in surprise.

"What a sword, what a sword! Where was the general's sword made, and it was able to cut off the sword that the villain had been forging for months in one fell swoop" Blacksmith Li was full of praise for the Qingyu sword in Hua An's hand, and asked about the origin.

When Hua An heard this, he felt that this was an opportunity to promote the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty, so he covered the hilt of the sword, and then boasted: "This sword is an ancestral heirloom, from a small blacksmith shop in Jiankang City, in the capital Jiankang, such a sharp sword can be seen everywhere!" Ha ha! After speaking, he smiled and looked at the surrounding Shu army generals.

When the surrounding Shu army surrendered personnel heard this, they were all taken aback, an ordinary blacksmith in the Great Jin Kingdom can forge such a sharp sword, which shows that the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty is not something that can be fought against in the small Shu, and it is only by obeying the will of heaven that the Great Jin Kingdom can protect itself.

Blacksmith Li was even more dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he had worked all his life of iron, and even became the best blacksmith in Zitong City, but he couldn't compare to an ordinary blacksmith in the Jin Kingdom, the gap in his heart was really too big.

"The villain has forged a sword for a lifetime, but it can't compare to a little Jiangnan blacksmith, it seems that the villain needs to close his business and go to Jiangnan to study." Blacksmith Li has plans to continue his studies.

Hua An smiled, looked at Blacksmith Li, and said, "Why do you need to go to Jiangnan to study." Shu has its own masters who are good at casting swords, and the pro-soldier team under the command of King Han is Pu Tie, which is a master of casting swords! After speaking, he looked at Pu Tie behind Li Guang.

Pu Tie, as Li Guang's pro-soldier team, protects Li Guang's side every day, Hua'an gradually became familiar with it, and learned that he fully possessed the ancestral casting technology, but he felt that joining the army could reflect the value of a man, so he closed the blacksmith shop and went to Li Guang, with good skills. Within a few years, he became the leader of Li Guang's pro-soldier team.

Fighting a war is inseparable from the sword. A good quality sword can greatly improve the combat capability of the army, so since Hua'an learned that Pu Tie was fully equipped with the casting technology of his ancestors, he had the intention of forming a casting battalion.

This special force. Specializes in casting high-quality swords and other weapons. Pu Tie served as the camp leader. and recruit blacksmiths in Shuzhong to enrich this army, however. This is still a preliminary idea, and only after the destruction of Shu can these things be carried out in an orderly manner.

At Li Guang's suggestion, Pu Tie stepped forward and split the broken sword that had been broken into two pieces into four sections, which surprised Blacksmith Li even more, and immediately expressed his willingness to worship Pu Tie as a teacher, and led the blacksmiths of the entire shop to follow Pu Tie.

Hua An glanced at Pu Tie and motioned to Pu Tie to accept this blacksmith master of dozens of people, and Pu Tie naturally nodded and agreed.

However, the army was marching towards Chengdu, and it was useless to bring so many blacksmiths at this time, so he asked Li Blacksmith and others to continue to strike iron in Zitong City, and after recovering Chengdu, they would go to summon him, and Blacksmith Li nodded in agreement.

After resting in Zitong City for a day, Hua'an received a surrender from the direction of Fucheng, and the Fucheng guard expressed his willingness to lead the soldiers and people of the city to submit to the Great Jin.

After receiving this news, Hua An felt extremely excited, and after continuing to rest for a day, Hua An led the army to Fucheng, the southernmost part of Zitong County, to accept the surrender of Fucheng soldiers.

Since Zitong City is the core of the entire Zitong County, Hua'an naturally cannot give such an important position to the Shu army that has just surrendered and is not particularly reliable, leaving too many Northern Expeditionary Army will weaken the strength of attacking Chengdu, so only 800 soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were left to garrison here, and at the same time, all the 3,000 Shu soldiers who had just been incorporated in the city were transferred into the battle sequence, so that they could follow them and march towards Fucheng.

So far, the army under the command of Hua'an has exceeded 20,000, of which the Northern Expeditionary Army has a total of 6,000 cavalry, 8,000 infantry, 3,000 baggage, and more than 4,000 Shu soldiers and horses who surrendered.

More than 20,000 troops, mightily marched towards Fucheng, and there were many villages along the way, which took the initiative to come to join, and these villages were persuaded by Li Guang's subordinates to come to surrender.

Hua'an was both happy and surprised to get the strong support of so many people, and the generals and soldiers beside him also looked proud, and even a little arrogant.

For the people who took the initiative to surrender, Hua'an naturally soothed with kind words, and said that they would not be able to lose money if they returned to the Great Jin, and their lives would get better and better.

On the road to Fucheng, every few miles, there will be nearby villages to come to surrender, which makes Hua Anle close his mouth.

When it was less than ten miles away from Fucheng, due to the fatigue of the journey, Hua'an let the army rest for a while and waited for the heavy men and horses behind.

"Big brother, why stop, hold on for a while, and you'll be in Fucheng." Thunderstorm asked loudly.

Hua An looked at the thunderstorm and teased: "Thunderstorm, you are naturally not tired when you ride on the horse, but the war horse is very tired, and the infantry behind can't walk, rest for half an hour before leaving!" It's okay to wait for the baggage horses behind. ”

"Yes, big brother." Thunderstorm answered.

"Big brother, look, cavalry has been sent from the direction of Fucheng." Wang San pointed to a few horsemen and horses running from the south gate and said loudly.

Hua An looked up to the south, and sure enough, he found several Shu cavalry who were rushing quickly, as if they were in a hurry.

The surrender has been finalized, is there something wrong, Hua Anxin became suspicious, and the generals beside him also looked up at the Shu cavalry who were rushing.

When several cavalrymen of the Shu army rushed to a position fifty paces away from Hua'an, they turned over and fell off their horses and ran in front of Hua'an and other generals.

"In such a hurry, what's wrong?" Li Guang asked first.

The cavalry of the Shu army did not have time to be polite, and immediately hugged their fists and said: "The fangs suddenly came out of the deep mountains, and all the villages within a radius of ten miles of Fucheng were attacked, and the people of our county suffered heavy casualties. ”

"There is such a thing, this group of bold fangs is really damned, what happened to the county?" Li Guang asked nervously.

The cavalry of the Shu army replied with a fist: "Thousands of people and horses rushed to the city with the intention of attacking the city, but they were repelled by our army, and now they are rushing around the county, their whereabouts are uncertain, and our army is not strong enough to be ambushed, so there is no pursuit." ”

When Hua An heard this, his mood finally stabilized, it turned out that the Shu army did not change his hexagram, but Fucheng was attacked, but who this fang man was, Hua An was completely confused, and it could be said that he was confused.

"Who is the fang, and why has Ben never heard of it?" Hua An looked at the surrendered generals of the Shu army and asked with a frown.

When Li Guang heard this, he hurriedly replied: "General Hua doesn't know, there were no fangs in my Shu, but after my eldest brother Li Shi ascended the throne, these fangs came out of the mountains, how did they come out, no one knows clearly, some people say that they jumped out of the stones, and some people say that they came out of the soil. After saying that, I was amazed.

"Oh, so to speak, these fangs only popped out of the mountains in the last two years, and they have never appeared in Shu before." Hua An asked suspiciously.

Li Guang replied: "That's right, these fangs are mainly from the deep mountains of Brazil, Jianwei, and Zitong counties, and their number is increasing year by year, and now there are no less than tens of thousands of horses, or even more. ”

Hua An smiled and said, "Shu Di is really an outstanding person!" In the deep mountains, tens of thousands of fangs can suddenly appear, what a miracle, the world's strange news! ”

In fact, Hua'an didn't believe that the fangs would suddenly pop out, and it was impossible for stones and soil to grow humans, which violated scientific common sense, and the reason why the fangs had not been found in Shuzhong before was for two reasons.

First, these fangs are migrated, before Shu did not find that there is really no, and then, due to the need to expand the living space, the fangs from their hometown, trekked thousands of mountains and rivers, step by step to Yizhou, and because of the food and the local Shu people conflicted, and then formed hatred, and the reason why the fangs eat human flesh is probably the tradition of their nation, which is compared with the northern Qi people, is the human wool drinking stage, the habit left over.

Second, these fangs have always been in Shu, but the people in Shu have not found it, you must know that the terrain of Shu is dominated by mountains, and there are countless large and small valleys and rivers, forming a lot of closed spaces, and the fangs live in these small spaces, which are naturally not easy to be found by the Shu people outside, until due to the increase in population, the original land can not meet the needs of survival, and then they go out of the mountains and have conflicts with the Shu people outside, which has caused bloodshed.

"General, these fangs are fierce and cruel, hurting the people of my Shu, and they must be exterminated." A general of the Shu army opened his mouth to build a yì road.

"Yes, they must be completely exterminated, and they must not be allowed to endanger the people." Another Shu general followed.

Seeing that the generals of the Shu army hated the fangs so much, Hua'an could probably guess what the fangs usually did, and had a preliminary plan in his heart.

"Do the fangs often cause mass rebellion?" Hua An looked at the general of the Shu army and asked softly.

The county guard of Zitong County immediately hugged his fists and replied: "The fangs live in different places, most of them are dozens of people, hundreds of people gather together to harass the people of my Shuzhong, like today, thousands of people and horses are trying to besiege the county seat, this is really the first time, it seems that the fangs are becoming more and more arrogant, and if they don't suppress it fiercely, they should attack the city next time."
