Aobai's war knife was placed on Ji Qingchen's bookcase, he had looked left and right dozens of times, and always felt that this war knife had another use for him, after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that he should give the teacher a war knife, even if the teacher is no longer charging now, but the teacher gave his war knife wolf blade to himself, as a disciple, he can't help but cast a good knife for the teacher, how can a military general not have his own war knife? And the material of Aobai's war knife is also a rare fine iron casting in the world, which is very suitable for casting a good knife for the teacher Li Qingyi.

With an idea, he immediately summoned Li Changzheng to the study, asked if there was a workshop in the camp to repair weapons, and said that he wanted to cast a knife for the teacher, Li Changzheng thought about it, and said that there was a workshop in the camp that specialized in repairing weapons and armor for the soldiers, but he had never cast weapons, and he didn't know if he could make a sword.

"Take this knife to the workshop, let the craftsmen melt it, and let them temper a good piece of iron, and in two days the king will go to the workshop to forge the knife himself." Ji Qingchen said that when he was still away from the country as a hostage, he followed his teacher Li Qingyi to cast a knife, and he has rich experience in this area.

"No!" Li Changzheng received the order and left the study with a war knife.

During this time, because Ao Bai was beheaded, the Northern Liao army besieged under the city of Caozhou had been discouraged to the extreme, and from time to time there was news that some soldiers wanted to flee and were captured and beheaded.

However, compared with the one-sided situation in Yunzhou, the war situation in Shangzhou and Beidu was much more tragic.

Shangzhou Haoge's 60,000 iron cavalry and Meng Li's and Cao Yukun's more than 100,000 troops have clashed several times, and both sides have won and lost, and there have been casualties on each other. But this is a casualty in exchange for a ratio of one to four, that is, Dayan needs to use the death price of four cavalrymen to exchange the life of a Beirong cavalryman.

As a result, Hauge lost nearly 10,000 cavalry, and Keli's 100,000 cavalry also lost nearly 40,000.

Compared with the stalemate situation in Shangzhou, the northern capital can be said to be one-sided, because there is not enough army to defend, and because Meng Buge and Hakesu are both Beirong fierce generals and wise generals, the 60,000 troops led by the two are wantonly attacking, burning and looting in the northern capital, and now two-thirds of the cities in the northern capital have fallen.

Moreover, Meng Buge also listened to the advice of Haksu, and gathered the young men of the captured cities together and trained them into a new army attached to them, which was named the Han Army Zhenghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner. The strength of the two of them is quite strong now, and the number of the four cavalry has reached 160,000, which means that the army is approaching King's Landing.

The bad situation of these two states is not unclear in the court, but because of the strategic deployment of the main force of Beirong under Caozhou City, Emperor Yiyan and the Privy Council did not express any dissatisfaction with Ji Qingchen for abandoning the northern capital and Shangzhou. However, the courtiers had a great opinion of him, but because of the tough attitude of Emperor Yan and Bai Jin and others, they did not openly impeach Ji Qingchen with a favoritism in the use of troops.

So during the time he returned to Caozhou, Ji Qingchen's life was still very comfortable.

No, today he came to the workshop in the camp that specializes in repairing weapons and armor for the army, and the purpose of his visit to the workshop was naturally to create a war knife for his teacher Li Qingyi, so naturally he was only with Li Changzheng.

The two came to the workshop in a low-key manner, and the craftsmen in the workshop had already known Ji Qingchen's identity, but because they had told them before, they no longer saluted, but waited for Ji Qingchen to cast knives tremblingly. Aobai's war knife has been re-refined, refining thirty catties of fine iron, and then adding some precious metals that Ji Qingchen ended up with, he is ready to create a war knife with a total amount of about thirty-five catties for the teacher, and the appearance is naturally the same as the wolf blade, but in terms of workmanship, Da Yan's quenching technique will be added, or his own wolf blade will be fine.

Because Ji Qingchen followed Li Qingyi to cast a war knife when he left the country as a hostage, and now he has Dayan's craftsmen around him as staff officers, it only took three days, the war knife has been issued in the shape of Zou, and it took another three days, and the war knife in his hand has reached the finishing stage.

Ding!

Dangdang!

He was swinging the hammer with Li Changzheng, striking it on the blade one by one, thinking about the joy of the teacher getting it in his hand after the sword was cast.

Suddenly, at this moment, heavy footsteps were heard outside the workshop.

Ji Qingchen, who was striking iron, frowned, and was about to ask what was going on outside the door, when he saw Zhang Rang striding into the workshop.

The moment he saw Zhang Rang, Ji Qingchen, who had always been calm, was also stunned. Because Zhang Rang has been staying in King's Landing, he is his spokesperson in King's Landing, and he will not leave King's Landing City when there is nothing particularly big, but now that Zhang Rang has appeared in Caozhou, is there something big happening in King's Landing?

Just when Ji Qingchen was thinking like this, Zhang Rang had already walked in front of Ji Qingchen, he saluted Ji Qingchen slightly, handed a letter to Ji Qingchen, and was silent.

Ji Qingchen, who reached out to take the letter, saw the sign on the envelope, his hand froze, and his face suddenly became a little pale, he did not open the letter immediately, but moved his gaze to Zhang Rang, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?" ”

"Your Highness, the news came from Tie Yi from Liguo, saying that General Liguo, your teacher died of illness ten days ago." Zhang Rang said in a low voice.

"Ha Lu Ha-" Ji Qingchen smiled, he couldn't believe Zhang Rang's words, stared at Zhang Rang and asked, "Zhang Rang, don't make such a joke with this king, the teacher is very strong, how could he die of illness?" He's never had any serious illness! ”

"Your Highness—" Zhang Rang stopped talking, silent and silent. And Li Changzheng on the side understood, and immediately said to the craftsmen in your workshop, "You guys go out first!" ”

The craftsmen left with interest, and only Ji Qingchen, Zhang Rang, and Li Changzheng were left in the workshop.

At this time, Ji Qingchen still didn't believe Zhang Rang's words, or he didn't believe that his teacher would die of illness, so he asked Li Changzheng again, "Long March, you definitely won't believe what Zhang Rang said, right?" The teacher has been injured countless times in his life, and his life is not in danger, so how can he die because of illness this time? ”

"Your Highness, this-" Li Changzheng didn't know what Lu Dao said, because he was sure that Zhang Rang would not lie to Ji Qingchen, and he was even more sure that Ji Qingchen couldn't believe this fact, and refused to believe this fact.

"Your Highness, why don't you rest for a while, Li Changzheng and I are waiting outside, and you can greet us if you have any orders." Zhang Rang said that he felt that it was better to give Ji Qingchen a little space and let him accept this matter by himself, so he left the workshop with Li Changzheng.

Li Changzheng was apprehensive about the executioner-like eunuch beside Ji Qingchen, this was because Zhang Rang dared to cut off the head of the cousin of the sixth prince when he followed Ji Qingchen into the Xiaoqi camp for the first time, and the impact on Li Changzheng at that time was very shocking, because when the two of them walked out of the workshop to stay outside, no one said a word.

Zhang Rang didn't like to talk, and Li Changzheng didn't know what to say to the eunuch spy leader. The two stayed outside the workshop for nearly two hours, and only then did they become a lot more lively because of Bai Xiangcheng, Cheng Qianfan, Xu Dachun, Bai Yang, Yu Wensheng, Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing, etc., who came after hearing the news. However, everyone gathered outside the workshop and did not speak again, but quietly waited for Ji Qingchen's order, because they had already learned the news of the death of Li Qingyi, the teacher of the King of Northern Liao.

In this way, another hour passed, and when it was evening, I heard Ji Qingchen in the workshop shouting, "Li Changzheng, get in with this king!" ”

"No!" Li Changzheng, who was outside the workshop, was stunned for a moment and immediately walked in.

"Take—" Ji Qingchen handed a hammer to Li Changzheng and said, "Let's work harder tonight and strive to forge the war knife before dawn and give it to the teacher." "Yes." Li Changzheng was stunned for a moment, but he still took the hammer and followed Ji Qingchen's rhythmic hammer on the war knife.

"At the age of seven, he was sent to leave the country as a hostage, because he was young and unfamiliar with life, and he was afraid of everyone after leaving the country. It wasn't until later that he met his teacher and was accepted as a disciple by him, that this situation changed. Ji Qingchen waved the hammer and said, "The teacher can't say how good this king is, because when he was young, this king secretly went to play with Shu'er, and he was punished by him for not practicing martial arts diligently, and when he was fourteen years old, he was thrown into the tiger and leopard cavalry to fight with the army......

In this way, Ji Qingchen chatted with Li Changzheng while building the war knife, and it was not until the end of the day that the war knife was built. A war knife that resembled a wolf's blade, but was finely workmaned than the wolf's blade, and was sharper than Langfeng, appeared in front of the two.

"You say, did the teacher really die of illness?" When the battle knife was built, Ji Qingchen asked Li Changzheng such an inexplicable sentence.

"This, the Long March doesn't know how to ......," Li Changzheng hesitated and replied.

"The teacher is a person who would rather die on the battlefield than die on the bed, if he dies of illness, it is to kill the king, and the king will not believe it." Ji Qingchen said affirmatively, "But the teacher still passed away, and he didn't even have time to see his disciple forge this war knife for him." ”

Li Changzheng was silent, he didn't know how to comfort Ji Qingchen.

"Is there a whole bunch of people gathered outside the door?" Ji Qingchen asked.

"Bai Xiangcheng, General Cheng, and General Xu have all arrived, and everyone is worried about you, Brother Jiu." Li Changzheng said.

"If you go out of Lu and tell Baixiang City, you will say that tomorrow the whole army will wear white robes and break through the Beirong camp in the afternoon to capture Mo Dahan alive." Ji Qingchen said lightly, his voice was very soft, but his tone was unquestionable.

"No!" Li Changzheng took the order and left the workshop in great strides.

Li Changzheng, who walked out of the workshop, told Bai Xiangcheng what Ji Qingchen said, Bai Xiangcheng nodded lightly, he knew what Ji Qingchen meant, so he issued a military order on the spot, "The whole army will wear white robes, break through the Beirong camp tomorrow afternoon, and capture Mo Dahan alive." ”

"No!" Cheng Qianfan and Xu Dachun and other army commanders received orders. In an instant, the uniforms of the soldiers in the Dayan military camp were changed to white, and "put on white robes and fight Beirong." The news spread around the camp.
