In desperation, Yang Xuangan could only divide his troops, the soldiers and horses in the west resisted Wei Xuan, and the soldiers and horses in the east resisted Qu Tutong, but Fan Zigai and Lai Hu'er were not kind people, and they attacked frequently, which made Yang Xuangan feel that the soldiers were defeated.

In the end, just a month before the start of the first battle, Yang Xuangan waved his army west and marched towards Guanzhong. The danger in Luoyang is finally over. And Yuwenshu, Qu Tutong and other armies are still advancing step by step behind them.

"It seems that Yang Xuangan is afraid that he won't even see autumn." Sitting in the pavilion in the backyard of the hotel, my son was admiring the newly made works while sipping turbid wine, and my sister was sitting next to me, looking at me very curiously.

"Brother, what about you, why does such a small piece of iron make you love it so much?" The girl patted the table impatiently, and said with a dissatisfied face.

"Hehe, this is a bloody cry for my brother...... Hey, I said sister, for my brother I just talked, and I didn't yell, can you plug your ears? "My son was just about to show off, who knew that this stinky girl actually blocked her ears at the fastest speed, which really made me speechless, could it be that no one in this world likes to listen to heroic deeds reports?

"Whoever makes you talk about the gadgets you design every time, a mouth is disgusting and bloody, hard research or something, you yourself don't bother me to hear dizzy. Brother, will I beg you? Don't say that again, I'm your sister, don't say that to me? The girl let go of her ear-blocking hand, leaned over and grabbed my elbow and began to shake.

"Hmph, if you don't want to hear it, forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you for my brother, but ah, I still have to tell you, what is it? It's steel. Ben Gongzi proudly flicked the steel sheet with his finger, and the steel sheet, which was no thicker than the twenty-first century's small steel ruler, suddenly shook and made a pleasant humming sound.

"Steel? Don't we have it at home, and the horizontal knife on your waist is also made of stainless steel? The younger sister gently patted her forehead with her hand, with a very helpless expression.

"Then do you know the manpower and material resources that people in this era need to smelt steel?" Ben Gongzi's tiger body was shocked, his expression was very serious, and the old Wu Wuyi, who was sitting not far away and learning fishing skills, was leaning against the steel piece in my hand, with a curious face.

"What, brother, can you make it easier to produce steel?" The younger sister snatched the thin piece of steel and took it in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully. "Hey, brother, there's still a pattern on it?"

"Of course, this is a fifty piece of steel forged by water hammer, and with a little more processing, it can be turned into an incomparably sharp dagger." Ben Gongzi raised his eyebrows proudly and smiled. "Those patterns are naturally squeezed out of fifty pieces of steel."

Happiness, victory, his sister's, this son finally made coking coal, and according to what I know about the later graphite crucible practice of the road, I told these guys, but the next day I saw graphite, which was really shocking to my son, and I learned that there was a graphite mountain in Luoshui, and the mountain was black, and it could be sparse, so it was also called graphite mountain, and many craftsmen liked to use this thing to draw a line or something.

Ben Gongzi was messy in the wind in an instant, and then, under the formula provided by Ben Gongzi, these guys finally came up with a graphite crucible, and after having these two sharp weapons, they spent a lot of money to hire five old blacksmiths who had been refining iron all their lives, and then began to slowly grope for it, if the graphite crucible was almost there, the coking coal was also made, and the furnace was modified according to my intentions.

And every step they do will be recorded by those who have already read and write, otherwise, Ben Gongzi spent so much money, naturally to purify the ancient smelting techniques and systematically standardize them. It is also good to lay a good foundation for the future.

Fortunately, the effect of water hammer is terrible, such a piece of fifty steel pieces of tempering time, a total of no more than four hours, and it is also the reason for the need for tempering, and when this piece of steel is tempered, other steel pieces that have been tempered will be taken to forge, the speed is so fast that those old craftsmen who have been beating iron all their lives burst into tears and cry.

However, this technique is now in top secret, and the hundred subordinates under this son's hand are dedicated to guarding these craftsmen and the surroundings, safety first, I don't want this technique to be leaked out at this time, at least I have to wait until this son feels that it is almost there, and then take it out.

The tenants, five days earlier, had left the city and returned to their homes, and began to renovate the houses and houses that had been demolished by the rebels, and the north of the city was almost in ruins, but it was good that the cement kilns, lime kilns, and brick kilns of Ben Gongzi had once again played a great role.

Or after a short period of time to earn a lot of wealth, those kiln factories are almost lit day and night, for this reason, Ben Gongzi even arranged three shifts of overtime mode, otherwise, maybe it will not take three or five days of work, those workers will be exhausted to death.

"Heavenly ...... Fifty sheets of steel, how thick is that, and how thin is it? The girl stared exaggeratedly at the round eyeballs, with a look of surprise, and the old five Wuyi's eyes were also round, and the fishing rod in her hand was put aside and stepped forward.

"That's natural, you have to know that the water hammer weighs 500 catties, don't say it's pressed so thin, and then pressed even thinner." Seeing the exaggerated expressions of these two little kids, Ben Gongzi was in a very comfortable mood, maybe this is the cool point of being a traverser.

"Fifty pieces of steel?" As soon as a voice sounded, I felt a strong wind blowing, and in an instant, there was an additional figure beside my sister, and she snatched the piece of steel and held it up.

Needless to say, except for Li Yaoguang, others will definitely not be like this, mainly who dares to rub my sister in front of my son, this son has to use a big blade to chop this girl into sashimi.

"Hey, it's really fifty refined?" Li Shimin also walked in with grace, and looked at the steel sheet in Li Yaoguang's hand very curiously.

"Seems to be." Li Yaoguang's eyes lit up, and then he raised his head. "Is this supposed to be just a material, used to sharpen swords?"

I nodded. "It's just a sample film, and it hasn't started yet."

"Great, I'll find someone to try it, Sambo, come over to me, take this thing and sharpen it." Li Yaoguang turned around and threw the piece of steel towards Ma Sanbao who was standing at the door of the water pavilion, so frightened that this guy hurriedly took it and rushed away. It was very neat and tidy, and he knew Li Yaoguang's quick temper very well, and he didn't delay for a moment.

"Is it really fifty years old?" Li Shimin sat down, and then smiled at my sister very gentlemanly, then turned his face to me and asked.

"Nonsense, do you think I'll tease you with a piece of broken iron?" Ben Gongzi glanced at this shameless Lolicon. "By the way, Brother Xian, wasn't he still busy a few days ago? Why did you have time to come over today? ”

"Of course, things are already busy, alas, this time, the damage to our family's tribulation is not small." Li Shimin patted his thigh with emotion. "More than 20 died, more than 300 wounded, almost 400. But fortunately, compared to the parts of the noble family that guarded Anximen, it was considered good, and I heard that there were several parts of the noble family that were connected to the most luke, and only a few intact ones remained, tsk, it seems that we are really lucky enough. ”

"Yes, no one would have thought that Yang Xuangan would suddenly come so suddenly, and the casualties would be heavy enough." I couldn't help but nod, the corpses outside the city, it took almost five days to deal with them, and this was the result of mobilizing nearly 30,000 young people, and everyone was afraid of the terrible plague caused by the decomposition of the corpses.

The moat has not yet been cleared, and the sandbags thrown down inside are still being salvaged, and I am afraid that it will take at least ten days and half a month to finish.

"Well, now I heard that Yang Xuangan's guy is attacking Hongnong Palace, I don't know if Lu Dao can attack it, Yuwenshu's old guy has already led the main elite of the court to catch up, plus a few other people, it seems that Yang Xuangan really can't jump for a few days." After Li Xuanba sat down, he first soaked a chicken leg, and after smashing his mouth with satisfaction, he said.

"It seems that the Son of Heaven's northern expedition has ended without a problem, I don't know if he is still in the mood to come again." Li Yaoguang squeezed Li Shimin aside, sat down next to my sister-in-law and said with a smile. Li Shimin saw that it was his own sister who occupied his position, and he could only be speechless.

"By the way, does your dad have any news?" As soon as Li Yaoguang said, I really remembered a big event.

Li Yaoguang nodded and replied: "Yes, just yesterday I received a letter from my father, saying that the Son of Heaven has withdrawn from the army, and now they have arrived in Zhuo County, and they have gone down by boat with the Son of Heaven, I believe that it will not take too long to be able to rush back to the Eastern Capital." ”

"I don't know how my uncle is." Hearing this news, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic for the old man who seems a little old-fashioned, but is actually very treacherous, he took this opportunity to go north with the Son of Heaven, naturally to cut off with that Yang Xuangan, but I don't know what the effect of the Dao is?

"My father's letter didn't mention anything about Uncle Gao, so there must be nothing serious." Li Shimin thought about it and said, although this is just speculation, I prefer to believe it. Since he has nothing to do in history, then this time there should be nothing wrong.

I nodded and took a deep breath. "Well, if there is something wrong with my uncle, I believe my uncle should mention it in the letter, since there is no such thing, it means that there will be no major incident."

"But these days, Luoyang and Chang'an are not very peaceful." Li Shimin's face was a little gloomy and said: "It seems that there are really a lot of people who defected to Yang Xuangan, and there are at least more than forty noble ministers in Luoyang and Chang'an. ”
