Chapter Twenty-Four: Changing Clothes
Early the next morning, after breakfast, most of the officials resigned to Liu Yu and returned to their respective jurisdictions. Cui Yan and Gongsun Chan were the two people who left after the most disappointment. When Cui Yan was leaving, he quietly told Ao Lie that the letter he wrote to Xun Yu had been sent away early this morning, and told Ao Lie that if Xun Yu came to defect, he must be courteous. In fact, Cui Yan also knew that if he didn't say these words, Ao Lie would do the same, but in Cui Yan's heart, he had already regarded Ao Lie as the future master, so he repeatedly told Ao Lie a few words. Ao Lie didn't have any impatience, someone reminded him in his ear at any time, this is a good thing, he won't take Cui Yan's kindness as wind in his ears.
As for Gongsun Zhan, this authentic martial artist, the reason why he left after the most abrupt was because he was happy to see the hunt, and he couldn't help but learn a few moves with Ao Lie, of course, with Ao Lie's martial arts, he could naturally easily defeat Gongsun Zhan, but Ao Lie didn't do that, and let Gongsun Chan pick off Gongsun Zhan's spear after walking thirty moves under his hands.
After seeing the two of them off, Ao Lie returned to his room and then sent someone to call Zhang Liao and Tian Chou to discuss the matter. didn't let Ao Lie wait long, Zhang Liao and Tian Chou entered Ao Lie's room one after another. After seeing the two, Ao Lie motioned for the two to sit down, and then said, "How are the brothers?" Zhang Liao knew that what Ao Lie asked was the more than 100 elites who came from Jiuyuan, and these elites usually lived in the Youzhou camp and were under Zhang Liao's command and training.
Zhang Liao replied: "Lord, those old brothers are very good, and they have been practicing very hard these days. Ao Lie put his mind at ease, and said: "At a certain time, I thought about the promise to my brothers, and I promised them that after I arrived in Youzhou, I would prepare armor weapons for them, so I plan to get a batch of armor weapons in the near future and equip them with my brothers." ”
Tian Chou immediately said: "My lord, Lord Zhou Mu has already distributed the equipment to the brothers according to the standard equipment of the Youzhou Army. ”
Ao Lie shook his head and said: "These old brothers are all elites who were born and died with us, and each of them can be used as ten, I will, to create a batch of high-standard armor weapons, distribute them to the brothers, and train them into an elite army." ”
Zhang Liao muttered: "Lord, aren't these brothers still elite soldiers? ”
Ao Lie smiled and said, "Wen Yuan, is this a grievance? Think someone underestimated these old brothers? ”
Although Zhang Liao didn't even dare to say anything, the look on his face was like that. After getting along with Ao Lie for a long time, Zhang Liao has also relaxed a lot, and he has lost the restraint he had when he was under his command.
Looking at Zhang Liao's expression, Ao Lie Zhengse said: "Wenyuan, Zitai, there will inevitably be turmoil in the Han Dynasty soon, we will train these old brothers to be more elite, and they will have a greater chance of surviving on the battlefield in the future." After Zhang Liao and Tian Chou listened to Ao Lie's words, they both lowered their heads in shame. That's right, as the saying goes, sweat more when practicing and bleed less during war, the two of them still understand this truth.
Ao Lie ignored the two and continued, "Therefore, we must not only train them strictly, but also equip them with the best equipment. Speaking of this, Ao Lie's words changed sharply, and he said with a little majesty: "What's more, General Weiyuan, who was originally appointed by the Son of Heaven, should have his own personal soldiers to protect his safety." In the future, if there is no elite among the elites of a team, what will be used to conquer the non-ministers and support the Han family? ”
Zhang Liao and Tian Chou were shocked by Ao Lie's ambition. After a while, Zhang Liao took the lead in coming back to his senses and said: "The lord is ambitious, and Liao will definitely train a hundred battles for the lord to come out." Ao Lie nodded and said: "The courage of the soldiers, Wen Yuan has this ambition, he will definitely train a real elite one day." I mean, before the equipment is complete, practice is the mainstay; After the distribution of armored weapons is complete, combat and training are combined. ”
Tian Chou said: "Although there is no war now, and there is no Yellow Turban Yu Party in Youzhou, but there are a few bandits, if not, in the future, these bandits will be used as the training target, not only can they nourish the war with war, maybe, they can also pick out some elites among these bandits and add them to the lord's personal guard battalion." ”
Ao Lie and Zhang Liao nodded in agreement as they listened. Ao Lie said: "Zitai's idea is very good, but it is imperative that we first equip the brothers in our headquarters with complete equipment. After a pause, Ao Lie said: "I have already thought of a way, in this way, Wen Yuan, you lead eighty old brothers, follow Sister Shuang'er to go to Youbeiping, pick more soil incense and come back, we will rely on making golden silk leaves to maintain armaments in the early stage." Zhang Liao responded: "No! ”
Turning his head, Ao Lie said to Tian Chou again: "Zitai, you lead the rest of the brothers to the best blacksmith shops in the city to make armor weapons, and use the best iron to make them!" Tian Chou responded: "No!"
Zhang Liao and Tian Chou took the orders and left. Ao Lie was idle again, but he didn't dare to be idle, and consciously went to find his master Wang Ao to be abused.
Ten days later, Tian Chou and Zhang Liao returned to the mansion at the same time to report to Ao Lie. Ao Lie stood in the barracks, looked at the old brothers who had been in the dust all the way but were still in good spirits, and nodded secretly. Zhang Liao commanded them to move the wooden boxes of the three carts into the camp, and said to Ao Lie: "My lord, according to the guidance of Miss Shuang'er, our army has picked all the ripe earth incense. After Ao Lie checked them one by one, he said happily: "Yes, I will move these wooden boxes to the house and hand them over to Sister Shuang'er." Zhang Liao replied: "No! ”
After reading the earth incense that Zhang Liao brought back, Ao Lie turned his gaze to Tian Chou again. Tian Chou saw Ao Lie's gaze and immediately waved his hand behind him. After a while, more than twenty sergeants walked in with more than a dozen large boxes and put them on the ground. Ao Lie walked to the side of a large wooden box, stretched out his hand and patted it on the wooden box, and then said loudly: "Brothers, when I was in Jiuyuan, I promised you to re-equip you with armor and weapons!" This promise has not been forgotten for a moment! ”
When some of the soldiers heard this, they shouted: "The great grace of the general, we all remember it in our hearts." We now also have the standard equipment issued by the imperial court. ”
Ao Lie shook his head and said, "Not enough! Far from enough! Those equipment are not worthy of you, because you are the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty! It is a hero who fought against the Huns! It's the general's personal soldier! See these big wooden boxes, this is the armor and weapons that I promised you, the most sophisticated equipment, only you are worthy of using the equipment in it! ”
As he spoke, Ao Lie poured his arms into his arms, easily lifted a heavy wooden box, and then smashed it to the ground.
Peng's voice shattered the wooden box, revealing a pair of delicate willow leaf iron armor inside. Hundreds of soldiers looked at those willow-leaf iron armors, and they were all stunned! That's the Willow Leaf Iron Armor! In the Eastern Han Dynasty, when there was a shortage of steel, only officers above the rank of lieutenant were qualified to wear iron armor, and in some poor places, even generals couldn't wear a pair of iron armor!
Ao Lie shouted loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Change! The elites were shouted by Ao Lie, and they came back to their senses, and one by one, in order, stepped forward to receive their own pair of willow leaf iron armor.
After distributing the iron armor, Tian Chou called dozens of soldiers and brought in more than a dozen large boxes from the outside again. After opening it, even Zhang Liao was stunned this time! There are steel knives neatly lined up inside the box! Stick a gun! Even the last two boxes contained crossbows!
After a moment of silence, the camp resounded with cheers that resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the warriors were boiling! With these equipment, the combat effectiveness of these already elite fighters has directly jumped two steps!
When the cheers of the soldiers stopped, Ao Lie said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, this elite is temporarily under your command, you can decide for yourself when to train and when to suppress bandits, you are not only the vanguard of our army, but also the scout of our army, and the personal guard battalion of this general." Zhang Liao took a step forward and said loudly: "Please give the name of our army!" Hundreds of elites shouted: "Please give the name of our army!" ”
Ao Lie groaned slightly, and said loudly: "Bloody battle, kill the enemy." Your name is 'Bloodslaughter'! The soul of bloody killing, there is no battle! ”
Everyone raised the steel knife that had just been distributed to their hands, and shouted enthusiastically: "The soul of blood killing, there is no battle!" The soul of blood, there is no battle!! ”
Ao Lie took out a stack of folded silk cloth from his arms and handed it to Zhang Liaodao: "This is my self-created blood killing knife method, a total of eight moves, although it is not a masterpiece, but it is suitable for rushing to fight, you can teach it to your brothers in training." ”
Zhang Liao took the silk cloth with both hands and led a hundred elites to shout in unison: "Thank you, Lord for your great kindness!" ”
After everything was arranged, Ao Lie returned to the mansion from the barracks, and Shuang'er was already waiting in his room. After seeing Shuang'er, Ao Lie asked, "Sister Shuang'er, are all your four sisters here?" Shuang'er nodded and said, "They are all waiting in the mansion, do you want to see them?" Ao Lie nodded and said, "Then please bring them all over." ”
A moment later, Frost walked into the room with the four girls. Ao Lie looked up and looked at them one by one, and felt that although these four girls were only middle-aged, they gave people a very attractive feeling. Shuang'er introduced Ao Lie in turn: "Childe, standing next to me is Wan'er, the one on her right is Yuzhu, on the right is the lotus, and near you is Xiaoyan." ”
Ao Lie nodded lightly and said, "You are all good sisters of Sister Shuang'er, so I believe in you just like I believe in Sister Shuang'er." In a certain eye, Sister Shuang'er is a certain sister, so a certain will also regard you as a sister. The four girls saluted at the same time and thanked them: "Thank you for your trust." Ao Lie waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, what Sister Shuang'er does in the future, you can do it, you don't need to treat a certain as a son, just treat a certain as a younger brother." ”
The four girls were embarrassed for a while and didn't dare to agree. Shuang'er smiled lightly on the side: "My son-in-law is so easy-going, I am used to it, and you will naturally get used to it when you get along with your son-in-law for a long time in the future." ”
Ao Lie laughed for a moment, and then got back to business: "This time, a certain Sister Tuo Shuang'er called you, in fact, there is a big matter to entrust to you. You all know the hot golden silk leaves on the market, right? That's what Sister Shuang'er made, in fact, the production process is very simple, and Sister Shuang'er will hand it over to you in the future. The thing entrusted to you is to help Sister Shuang'er make a large number of golden silk leaves together, but you must not leak the method of making golden silk leaves to outsiders. ”
The four girls glanced at each other, then looked at Shuang'er together, and after receiving Shuang'er's encouraging smile, they saluted Ao Lie again and replied: "We will obey the orders of the prince and never leak the manufacturing method." ”
After Shuang'er and the four girls walked out of the room one after another, Ao Lie's heart was suddenly overwhelmed. At present, the problem of armaments and salaries has been temporarily solved, and when my grandfather comes back in the future, I should discuss with my grandfather and study some new things to sell. Or simply, set up a chamber of commerce to sell some scarce goods that are not available in this era, and let my grandfather serve as the president, which can not only reassure myself, but also save my grandfather the pain of traveling around the business. Well, my grandfather is not too young, and he is no longer suitable to go to various places to do business. When my grandfather came back, I finalized this matter with my grandfather, so that the future military salaries, grain and grass would also be settled.
Looking up at the sky, Ao Lie thought that it was only a few years before the death of Emperor Ling and the imminent chaos, and it was time for him to speed up his pace and establish his own strength.
