The oldest blacksmith said to Liu An: "According to the villain, this place is mostly a golden mountain, and there may be more gold and stones under it. ”

Liu An also realized this possibility, and while he was overjoyed, he immediately gave a gag order to everyone present.

Those who came were Liu An's dead soldiers, and after Liu An gave the order, they would never reveal the secrets here.

After discovering Jinshan, Liu An, who had other plans, naturally would not report to the imperial court, and he was going to secretly dig and smelt to strengthen himself.

This mountain is no longer Lu Bu's property, but it is a terra nullius, and Liu An, as the magistrate of Jiuyuan County, has the right to dispose of the terra nullius.

Then, Liu An asked Lu Bu to send people to block this place, and no one was allowed to enter without his order.

At the same time, several guards were sent back to the county seat to get digging tools and explore gold mines on a large scale.

By noon, the guards had determined that the mountain contained a large amount of gold mines, and Liu An immediately asked Liu Bei to inform him and bring a team of people to build houses and smelting equipment here.

In this way, the meteorites that have been excavated do not need to be transported back to Jiuyuan with great effort, and they can be smelted on the spot after the smelting equipment is built.

Liu An called the oldest blacksmith and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Go back to the county, and the villain will pay."

"Well, Fu Zhao, you're responsible for everything related to blacksmithing here. When he encountered something that could not be solved, he went to find Liu Sima. ”

Liu Sima is Liu Bei.

Now Liu Bei's four people each command nearly 900 people, and the regulation has surpassed that of the military Sima.

According to the regulations, for every 400 people in the army, there is a military commander.

However, the local military Sima is already the highest position that Cheng Ze can appoint alone, and above him is the captain of the five armies, and the position is the same as Cheng Ze's captain, and he cannot appoint it on his own.

Liu An could only ask Cheng Ze to appoint Liu Bei and the four as military commanders.

After Fu Zhao, Liu An said to Liu Bei again: "Xuande, you are fully responsible for the affairs here, and report to me if there are special circumstances." ”

Liu An is most trustworthy and Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei is calm and calm, and his comprehensive ability is also the most outstanding among Liu An's subordinates.

"No!"

Then Liu An instructed Lu Bu: "Fengxian, when all the buildings here are completed, the defense will be handed over to Xuande, and you will disperse your men and explore all the nearby mountains to see if there are any other discoveries." ”

Liu An suspects that there are other precious metals hidden among the many mountains in Yinshan.

"No!" When Lu Bu heard that he was finally able to lead the troops out to wave, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, for fear that Liu An would take back such a good errand for him.

After arranging the matter, Liu An returned to the county office, preparing to continue to study the book sent by Cai Yan.

As soon as he returned to the county government study, the next person came to inform Liu An that Zhang Liao had been waiting in the guest hall for a long time to ask for a meeting.

Since the subjugation of the Wuyuan Heroes, the manor outside the city hastily completed the barn that was under construction at that time, and then stopped.

Zhang Liao, who had nothing to do, was sent to the army by Liu An, and followed several brothers to learn martial arts and train soldiers, etc., and came here on purpose today, Liu An guessed that Xu had waited too long and had not seen Liu An take action against the Hu people, and he couldn't wait.

Summoned Zhang Liao, Liu An really saw that Zhang Liao's expression was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be holding his breath.

"What? Xiao Langjun can't wait? Liu An laughed and teased Zhang Liao, although he was actually only two years older than Zhang Liao, he was much more mature and stable than Zhang Liao.

"Don't dare to hide it, my father died at the hands of the Hu people, how can I wait for a long time to kill my father's revenge?" Regarding Liu An's ridicule, Zhang Liao was unmoved, and his expression was as solemn as ever.

"Hmm...... There are such things. Liu An heard Zhang Liao talk about this for the first time, and immediately put away his joking mentality, pulled Zhang Liao to sit on the seat, and muttered: "Zhang Langjun thinks that we have a chance of winning in a battle with the Hu army?" ”

Zhang Liao didn't seem to have thought about this question, and after listening to Liu An's words, he fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said with an ugly face: "I'm afraid it's ...... There is no one chance of winning. ”

"In that case, can Zhang Langjun understand why I haven't mentioned this matter all along?"

"So, why did the county magistrate say that he wanted to attack the Hu people in the north?" Zhang Liao felt that he had been deceived, and his words couldn't help but bring a trace of resentment.

Liu An looked directly at Zhang Liao, and said seriously: "I want to train cavalry and fight with a small group of enemies at the border, Xianbei nomads will not gather in one place on a large scale, our army has Lu Bu Zhang Fei and other fierce generals, and if you engage with a small force of the thief army, you will definitely defeat the enemy." If the enemy gathers a crowd to attack, we will defend the city. Xianbei is not good at attacking the city, and if he can't attack it for a long time, he will inevitably retreat. When they retreat, I will fight a small force of the opposing side. Raise the war with war, strengthen yourself, wait for a good opportunity, and defeat Xianbei. It's just that there is a shortage of horses at the moment, but this matter needs to wait a little longer. ”

Liu An is waiting for the next wartime lottery plate to open, and after the autumn harvest, Xianbei will definitely go south to plunder, and he has already thought of a countermeasure.

At that time, when the wartime lottery plate was opened, he could use the contribution points he had saved to draw multiple ten-times, and at least he could get more than 1,000 system war horses.

The training of equestrianism in the military camp has never been relaxed, and then he can pick out the equestrian masters, equip them with systematic war horses, and take advantage of speed to walk the Xianbei people to fight.

Zhang Liao remembered that during this time in the barracks, there were people taking turns to practice equestrianism every day, and Liu An gave a specific strategy for Xianbei, knowing that he had misunderstood Liu An, he left the table with a ashamed face, and said to Liu An:

"I was blinded by hatred and considered it, so please deal with it with the county."

Liu An's expression eased, pulled Zhang Liao up, and said in a harmonious voice: "I didn't think about this matter and didn't take into account Zhang Langjun's feelings, what is Zhang Langjun's crime?" ”

Pulling Zhang Liao into his seat, Liu An took a book book, handed it to Zhang Liao and said: "This is one of the pages of "Wei Yuzi", during this time, Zhang Langjun will study the military book with me. Zhang Langjun has been reading military books since he was a child, and if I have questions that I don't understand, it is convenient to ask Zhang Langjun for advice. ”

"Wei Yuzi" is written by Wei Yu, a military master who contributed to the unification of the six countries during the Warring States Period.

Zhang Liao had heard of this book for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to read it, and when he heard that the book in front of him contained the length of "Wei Xuanzi", he was immediately very interested, opened the bamboo slips, and began to study.

Seeing this, Liu An also stabilized his mind and opened the page he read yesterday to continue reading.

It was only after watching for less than a quarter of an hour that the system suddenly heard a prompt that the manor was in crisis, and Liu An had no intention of studying.

He now has two estates, and according to the system's prompt, it is completely impossible to tell which one is in crisis.

At that moment, Liu An sent dozens of guards to disperse in all directions of Jiuyuan, and went out of the city to explore whether there was any invincibility.

At the same time, he sent someone to order Zhang Fei Gao Shun to be ready to meet the enemy at any time.

The opportunity was rare, and after Liu An arranged it, he went back to his room and used the time when the wartime lottery plate was opened to exchange the contribution for strategic materials.

Up to now, Liu An has a total of 806 contribution points, and the system can also overdraft 100 contribution points, that is to say, Liu An can draw a total of 18 times and 10 times.

After returning to the room, Liu An quickly called the system and conducted ten consecutive eighteen wartime lottery draws.

A quarter of an hour later, with the disappearance of the tinkling sound, Liu An's lottery was completed.

The total amount of income is:

100 Leather Armor*12, Pearlescent Scale Armor 10 Pairs*10, Golden Luan Battle Armor 2 Pairs*9, Spear 100 Handles*11, Great Shield 100 Sides*9, Saber 100*11, Saber 100*10, Repeating Crossbow 100 Pairs*12, Bow and Arrow 100 Pairs*10, Medium Throwing Carts*9, Two Siege Towers*10, 50 War Horses*12, Vests*11, Harness 50 Horses*9, 500 Kg Rice12, Medical Kits*12, Keep Up the Good Works*11.

Among them, the ten companies rewarded Liu An with twelve war horses and six leather armors.

He had been to the barracks before, and the quality of the standard leather armor in the army was not as good as the leather armor of the system, if the conditions permitted, Liu An would equip all the soldiers under his command with the system leather armor.

After the lottery, Liu An didn't have time to take a closer look at the prize, so he walked out of the room and stood at the door of the county government waiting for the news.

At the same time, Liu An has also been paying attention to whether the wartime lottery is closed, as well as the last serial number of the loyalist in the system, so as to find out whether there are any casualties in time, and the end time of the battle.

In two quarters of an hour, his guards came to report that no enemy situation had been found near Jiuyuan City.

At this time, there were more than 20 loyal people accepted by Liu An's system.

But there was no movement outside the city, and more than ten minutes had passed since the 30 minutes that the system first prompted, and it seemed that it was not Jiuyuan's side, and the crisis occurred in Zhuo County.

The distance was too far for Liu An to reach, so he could only send a few people to Zhuo County to check the situation, and instructed a few people to bring more than a dozen grown carrier pigeons to Wuyuan.

On the other side, Liu An ordered Zhang Fei to go to Gaoshun, let down his guard, and continue to do his own thing.

It was only at this time that the wartime lottery plate was finally quietly closed, and Liu An checked the losses and found that there were thirty-six fewer allegiances.

I don't know what happened at home, and whether my mother is okay.

However, the mother has moved into the city, and the system prompts that the manor is in crisis, and the mother should not be in danger.

Liu An opened the system to check the inventory, just drew 600 war horses, and the 10th company gave another 600, plus the 200 war horses in the barracks, Liu An has a total of 1,400 war horses produced by the system, and he can already form two cavalry.

There are 1,500 pairs of crossbows plus the ones taken out before, a total of 1,400 spears, and 1,600 pairs of leather armor plus 10 prizes in this lottery alone.

Liu An prepared to equip all the cavalry with a pair of leather armor, a pair of crossbows, and a spear.

In the face of the Xianbei army, they mainly used guerrillas, shot the enemy with crossbows, and in case the two armies engaged, they used the distance advantage of the spear to give the opponent a heavy blow.

Most of the Hu people fought on horseback, standing with bows and arrows, but the melee combat was almost all sabers, and it was not until after the Wei and Jin dynasties that the horse lance entered the sight of the northern nomads, replacing the sabre and other short soldiers.

Since then, the horse lance has replaced the spear as the king of horse warfare, and can break many metal armors with a single blow.

Of course, these are not known to Liu An, he only learned about the Xianbei people's combat methods through the oral accounts of the soldiers who fought with Xianbei in the army.

As soon as he thought of it, Liu An found a few vacant rooms and extracted all the spears, leather armor, crossbows, bows and arrows, swords, sabers, pearlescent scale armor, and medical boxes in the inventory.

In addition to the pearlescent scale armor and medical kit, Liu An'an asked Zhang Fei to take people to move to the armory, and asked him to lead his men to receive a spear, leather armor, and a crossbow each after the transportation was late.

Liu Bei and Lu Bu's soldiers were all in the northern mountains, and Gao Shun's people were resting, so Liu An temporarily only let Zhang Fei's troops receive equipment.

After all the materials were carried and it was already late, Liu An ordered to come back tomorrow to collect the equipment.

On the afternoon of the second day, Liu An asked Zhang Fei's troops, who had received the equipment, to wait outside the county office, and he went into the breeding shed in the county government and extracted a group of war horses and harnesses.

The county government's breeding shed is more than enough to put down fifty war horses.

After that, Liu An went to the outside of the county government and asked Zhang Fei to bring fifty people to follow.

After each person received a war horse, he received a harness at the exit.

After everyone led the horses away, Liu An continued to extract the war horses and harnesses, and so on more than ten times, and by the time all the 900 people under Zhang Fei received the war horses, the sky had already darkened.

On the third day, it was exactly three days after Gao Shun came back, and Liu An called Gao Shun, who had ended his vacation, to extract the remaining three hundred war horses from the inventory as yesterday.

There were only 450 pairs of harnesses, and except for the first 450 people in Zhang Fei's department, there were no others.

However, the harness is only a tool to assist in practice, and anyone who does not know how to ride a horse can take turns borrowing it to practice.

With the addition of the previous 100 pairs, there were a total of 550 pairs of horse harness in the army, and Liu An asked Zhang Fei to lead 1,400 people in the army to practice equestrianism, and Gao Shun led the rest to train the troops.

However, before the two sides began to practice, Liu An personally came to the army, selected 300 people with low force value, brought them back to the county office, and taught how to use the medical box.

With these three hundred people, Liu An is ready to cultivate them in the direction of medical soldiers.

However, alcohol gauze and the like are consumables after all, and after Liu An told them the effect, he asked them to take other substitute items and practice with each other in pairs.

After that, Liu An gave all 100 pairs of pearlescent scale armor to his 100 personal guards, and those who were not in Jiuyuan City were asked to wait for his superiors to return and hand them over.

Liu An ordered everyone to wear this armor to protect themselves during the war, and at other times, there was no need to wear armor.

In the event of a war, he himself will also wear pearlescent scale armor, so that if the war is unfavorable, he can blend in with the personal guards, and the enemy cannot judge which is Liu An by his clothes.

In addition to protecting the safety of the guards, it is also a way to protect yourself.

Three or four days passed, Liu An went to the northern mountains again to check the progress of the construction of houses and other buildings, and when he saw that the construction was still not completed, he went to the blacksmith again.

By this time, they had found a convenient place to mine gold, and in the past few days, a group of blacksmiths had mined some of the gold mines, put them aside for the time being, and only waited for the smelting equipment to be built, and then they could start metallurgy.

Liu An put his mind at ease, returned to the county government study, and continued to study the military book with Zhang Liao.

A few days later, Liu An received news from Liu Bei that the houses and other buildings had been completed.

So Liu An rushed to the northern mountains as soon as possible, and at this time, a group of blacksmiths had already processed the meteorite and were preparing to smelt it.

In the hearts of these blacksmiths who have been dealing with iron all their lives, this rare boulder that ordinary people may not be able to see once in their lifetime is more valuable for research than those bright gold.
