Chapter 173: Springlight
The spring is beautiful, and the earth is shrouded in vitality.
In the mill, the wheat harvested from Guanzhong in the last year was milled into flour, put into bags, stacked in bags, and waiting to be transported to the warehouse.
In the cafeteria, as soon as the fresh noodles were put into the pot, a large number of Mo disciples competed.
Ink Kite stood aside, along with Liki, maintaining order in the cafeteria.
It's a busy season, and most of the infrastructure in the Mojia stronghold has been built, waiting for spring planting.
Different from the vibrant scene on the side, in the large armory workshop, under the training of fire and heat, a long sword with a chill is slowly coming out.
Zhao Shuang came to the place where the finished product was placed and picked up one of the long swords.
Whether in terms of appearance or sharpness of the sword body, it can be described as a top grade.
"Grand Commander!"
Xu Fuzi, the commander of the Mo family who came to guide the production of these weapons, came from the fire, his upper body was naked, blackened by the smoke, he washed his face with water, and walked over.
He originally came to guide, but halfway through the guidance, he couldn't help but get started.
"How many have you made?"
"According to the orders of the Grand Commander, I rushed to work overnight, and there are already a thousand long swords."
Zhao Shuang nodded and said.
"Send this batch of swords out first."
Xu Fuzi didn't have any opinions, but there were some doubts on his face.
"Grand Commander, whose noble son is this, who wants a thousand long swords?"
"Qin Jun wants it."
Zhao Shuang's answer surprised Master Xu, his face changed, and his whole face froze.
"What does Qin Jun want these looks like?"
"Fighting!"
Zhao Shuang's casual answer made Xu Fuzi a little baffled.
It's just that Zhao Shuang didn't pay attention to Master Xu's doubts, beckoned, and commanded the Mo family disciples behind him.
"Load these weapons into trucks and send them to the Qin army today."
"No!"
.......
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the forest garden is in the middle.
A soldier guard, Chang'an Jun Cheng Cheng took the weapons purchased from Nanjun and other places, and tested the quality.
Cheng Chan was brave, holding a long sword in his hand, and with a swing of his strength, a log was cut into two pieces by a sword.
As the commander of this expedition against Zhao's army, from the very beginning, he personally intervened in the affairs of the upper and lower levels.
The army was drawn out, a division of 100,000 people, a thousand dollars per day, and the things used, from horses and chariots to armor and weapons to lacquer, oil, leather, leather and even sauces, salt and other dietary condiments, were quite cumbersome.
The Qin State has long had a set of military, political and logistics systems to ensure all this. It's just that Cheng Chan has added an additional inspection procedure.
"Good sword!"
Cheng Chan erected the blade of the sword, blew on the stained fibers, and asked the people around him.
"Where did you get these weapons?"
"It was procured by Sima Hanyangjun and Zhao Shuang from Nanjun."
Zhao Shuang?
For this name, Cheng Chan did not have a good feeling.
Hanyang Jun Zhao Shuang, from his background to the relationship between the DPRK and China, there was no doubt that he should get close to him and Changpingjun, but he hooked up with Lu Buwei.
It was this position of Sima who governed the army, and it was also recommended by LΓΌ Buwei.
"Your Highness, General Fan Yuzhi is here."
"Let him in!"
Fan came on horseback and came to the front of Cheng Chan, so he dismounted and walked.
"Your Highness, the 3,000 infantry troops on the Gaoling side have been dispatched."
"The general did a great job."
For Fan Yuzhi, Changpingjun's subordinate, Chang'anjun still maintains respect.
"Your Highness, your newly customized sword has an extraordinary style, it must be from a famous family!"
Cheng Chan smiled and threw the sword away.
"This is a thousand long swords sent by Zhao Shuang for the army, although the price is three times more expensive, but they are all of the highest grade."
Fan Yuzhi was shocked and was about to say something, but saw Cheng Chan's face showing joy.
"With this good soldier, the matter of defeating Zhao will definitely be smoother."
Fan Yuzhi looked at the elated Cheng Chan and the people around him, and he didn't say anything after all.
......
"What did you say?"
When Fan Yuzhi informed Changping Jun of the scene he saw from Shanglin Yuan, the other party looked angry.
"Your Excellency, I checked it afterwards, and the weapons sent by Hanyangjun are all well-made. If it is a fight in the rivers and lakes, or a decoration for the children of the nobility, it is indeed a good weapon. But where did you use a long sword to lead the troops to fight? β
With anger in his eyes, Changpingjun slapped the table with his hand.
"Zhao Shuang, what does he want to do!"
Chang Pingjun looked at Fan Yuzhi and asked.
"Why didn't you admonish in the first place?"
The last general wanted to admonish, but His Highness was very happy at that time, and there were others around. The last general was afraid of hurting His Highness's face, so he forbeared. β
Fan Yuzhi paused, and some words were swallowed in his throat. Seeing this, Changpingjun waved his hand.
"What do you want to say?"
"Is Han Yangjun young and ignorant and deceived, or is there another plan?"
"Young and ignorant?" Changpingjun sneered, "If he was young and ignorant, there would be no one in this world who understands!" β
"Then your lord, Hanyangjun is bullying Chang'anjun for not understanding the military, and deliberately taking some kind of goods to blind him?"
"It would be nice if Zhao Shuang just wanted to make some money."
Changpingjun sighed, a sense of worry flooded his heart, and he looked a little tired.
"After all, Chang Anjun is young, he has not yet reached the crown, and now he is the chief general of the first army, and the people who are attached to him up and down want to make a profit. Since he was a child, he has been brave and intelligent, fighting fiercely, fighting for power, and proficient in everything. But this march and battle is not just based on courage and intelligence, but also needs to be honed. β
Changpingjun touched his beard and sighed.
"There may be people in this world who are born to fight, but I have never seen one."
"Chang Anjun has stood at a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach since he was a child, and he is a natural king, so he can't see the darkness and the desire of ants underneath. Courage and intelligence, on the contrary, will magnify this fatal weakness and be taken advantage of by others. β
"What do you mean?"
"Zhao Shuang, isn't this coming? And Lu Buwei behind this is even more sinister. β
Changpingjun shook his head, looking a little tired.
If some things are in the dark, then no matter how many waves are in them, it will not have much impact. But once it is turned to the surface, there is a big movement, and the impact is different.
"This time to attack Zhao, His Highness's purpose is to establish prestige in the army, but His Highness is thinking simple after all!"
"In the name of the main general, you ordered Zhao Shuang not to purchase these long swords, and only allowed him to purchase standard sword weapons. In addition, you have to personally inquire about all the logistics and materials, so as not to make mistakes. After the beginning of summer, the army will be drawn out, and there is no room for loss. β
"The last general understands!"
