After Liu Bei handed over the wild objects to his subordinates to deal with, he came back and received the male and female double-strand swords handed over by Liu An.

The body of the double sword is dark, the color is dull but revealing a thick slaughter, he took an ordinary sword to test the blade of the double-strand sword, and saw that the ordinary sword broke in response, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of joy.

Then he drew the sword he had at his waist, and held the sword in one hand and the sword in the other, and slashed at each other.

Qiang - the intersection of the swords burst out of the slightest spark, the two blades couldn't hold each other, and no one could help anyone.

Liu Bei then carefully inspected the place where the sword intersected, and found that there were slight marks on the knife and the sword, but neither was damaged.

This treasure knife was given by Liu An, Liu Bei knew that it was powerful, and even personally participated in the auction of this knife in Luoyang, the same treasure knife was auctioned at a high price of 1.1 million in Luoyang!

Even so, it was because Yuan Shu, the fourth and third dukes, used his influence to suppress the price, otherwise it would only be higher.

The weapon made by the divine stone in the water was comparable to this knife, which really surprised Liu Bei.

The length of the two swords is nearly four feet, and Liu Bei's arms are much longer than ordinary people.

Put the double sword into the scabbard and tie it around his waist, Liu Bei held the hilt of the sword, full of spirit, and his heart was full of pride.

As for the treasure knife given by Liu An, Liu Bei put it away, although this knife was of high quality, it was shorter than his double-strand sword.

On the battlefield, every inch long and strong, and every point short can be fatal.

Moreover, this knife was given by his uncle Liu An, and for Liu Bei, its existence value is greater than its practical value.

After Liu An handed over the double-strand sword to Liu Bei, he returned to the county office.

I took a shower as soon as I went back and changed into clean and fresh clothes.

He had spent less than half a day in the smelter today, his clothes still soaked with sweat, and he couldn't imagine how the blacksmiths could spend all day in front of the blazing oven to forge weapons.

Not only that, but farmers who spend most of the year facing the loess with their backs to the sky are equally hard.

But they are so hard-working and hard-working, but they live a life without enough to eat.

And the children of the family who shake their heads and read books, and sit in the hall to talk about the world, can eat and dress every day, and stretch out their hands to eat and open their mouths, which is really unfair in this world.

Liu An has long known that there is no fairness in the world, whether ancient or modern, but this cannot stop him from complaining about the injustices of the ordinary people.

After taking a bath, Liu An arranged for someone to give an order to the local haoqiang, From today onwards, all land tenant rents will be reduced to 30% of the current year's harvest, but if anyone has more income, all the land under his name will be confiscated.

In addition, the powerful landlords were ordered to return the tenants they had overcharged last year to the peasant households, and they were not allowed to disobey.

However, correspondingly, Liu An also compensated the powerful landlord.

At the same time as the above order, there was another order: for every ten stone of grain returned, the receipt with the specific information of the recipient and the amount of grain received could be exchanged for one pound of fine salt at the Jiuyuan County Ya.

At that time, Liu An will arrange for people to check the receipts and go to the countryside to check whether they have indeed received food.

Liu An could not change the fate of all the poor people at once, but could only improve their lives step by step - at least by ensuring that they did not starve to death.

Early the next morning, Liu An came to the granary first, took out 120 kilograms of fine salt, put it in an empty warehouse, and arranged for Cangcao to be responsible for Haoqiang's exchange of receipts for fine salt.

120 kilograms, which is 480 Han catties, can be exchanged for 4,800 stone grain, which is enough for a period of time.

Later, Liu An came to the military camp outside the city and gave Gao Shun a key to the military treasury, so that he could train the comprehensive ability of the soldiers, and go to the military treasury to pick up whatever he needed.

Liu An has only one request, within a month, he wants all his soldiers to become capable fighters.

After that, Liu An went to see the process of Zhang Fei's training of equestrianism.

He gave Zhang Fei 1,400 soldiers, including 700 cavalry to be assigned to Lü Bu.

Because Lu Bu is now working outside, but the equestrian training of the soldiers cannot be delayed, they are all handed over to Zhang Fei to train together.

At this time, 1,400 soldiers were all able to ride horses without relying on harnesses, but there was still a lot of difference in fighting on horses, and the accuracy of shooting crossbows on horseback was almost the same as if they were not.

Now the time has come to the middle of August, and in about half a month, it is the autumn harvest time.

After the autumn harvest, Xianbei will inevitably come in a big way.

Time was pressing, so Liu An solemnly told Zhang Fei: "Yide, it is very likely that there will be a big battle after the autumn harvest, time is running out, this time must not be slack, before the autumn harvest, they must be made into cavalry who can be skilled in equestrianism and can accurately shoot the enemy on horseback!" ”

When Zhang Fei heard that he was finally going to fight, his excited beard trembled, and he glared at the copper bell and responded loudly with big eyes: "I will definitely live up to the trust of Ming Gong!" ”

Looking at Zhang Fei with an excited face, Liu An said lightly: "Remember not to whip the soldiers, if you violate, you will be forbidden to go to the battlefield." ”

Zhang Fei: "......"

The smile on Zhang Fei's face instantly froze, and he opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't say anything, and his anxious face was sweating.

Liu An turned around, raised the corners of his mouth, and tried to hold back a smile, and said in his heart that the best way to deal with Zhang Fei was to threaten him with a fight.

Then he returned to the county office, vacated the backyard, took out forty medium-sized throwing carts, and let his men all transport them to the north wall of Jiuyuan City.

In the backyard, except for Liu An's dead soldiers, there is no one else, so there is no need to worry about secrets being revealed.

Liu An currently has a total of 130 medium-sized throwing cars in his inventory, and the north is the direction of Xianbei, on which Liu An placed 40 medium-sized throwing cars, and the other three city walls, Liu An is ready to place 30 medium-sized throwing cars respectively.

He can't guarantee that when Xianbei comes to attack, he will definitely choose the north gate as the breakthrough point, he can only say that the north gate is the most likely, and the other three city walls are also equipped with throwing cars, just in case.

After taking out the medium-sized throwing car, Liu An studied it and found that the operation was not difficult.

This throwing car is a medium-sized counterweight throwing car, one end is equipped with a metal weight, and it is also equipped with a pulley and a rocker.

Before loading the stone bullets, use the joystick to shake the bullet frame down, tie the live buckle with a rope, then add enough stone bullets to the bullet frame, adjust the firing direction, and after pulling the live buckle, the ammunition will shoot out.

Twenty kilograms of stone projectiles can be added to the frame, and the range is up to 120 meters.

Although it is not difficult, before it is really used, Liu An still needs to arrange for soldiers to go to the city to practice, at least to select talents who can be accurately located, so as not to be in a hurry when Xianbei comes to attack, and the stone projectiles are sent out and even people can't be hit.

After transporting all the 130 throwing carts to the four city walls, the time had already come to evening.

Taking advantage of the gap between transporting and throwing cars, Liu An asked his subordinates to recruit 800 villagers and 100 women, and gave high wages.

Among them, each villager has 20 yuan per day, and women have 10 yuan, all of which are in charge of food and housing.

The reason why Xiang Yong was paid such a high salary was because Liu An planned to send these people to the northern mountains to replace Liu Bei's soldiers.

In the northern mountains, all the work is heavy and tiring, or it is extremely hard to work in the heat or be responsible for security work.

Liu An felt that it was appropriate to pay more wages, and as for the women, Liu An planned to let them cook and wash for the young and strong people who worked among them.

Time is already very short, and he must hurry up and train his troops.

You can't let your men spend all their time mining.

At the same time, Liu An also sent people to the northern mountains to spread the news to Liu Bei, where the blacksmiths' daily wages were calculated at thirty yuan.

Although those people are all Liu An's dead soldiers, even if they don't pay them, they will work for Liu An.

But Liu An is not an emotionless person, it is impossible to use his dead soldiers as tools completely, otherwise he would not have given Haoqiang fine salt as compensation after ordering him to return the tenant rent of the farmers.

-------------------------------------

Two hundred miles north of Jiuyuan City, outside the plug.

This is no longer the border of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Bu divided his 900 men into eighteen groups, each of 50 people, and according to Liu An's orders, they searched the northern mountains separately.

At this time, it was the fourth day that Lu Bu had left the smelter, and after searching for many days without finding anything, he was unwilling to return in vain, so he took fifty people deep into the north, walked farther and farther, and finally came to the outside of the Saiwai.

There is a large hilly terrain here, and the terrain is undulating, and the view is affected by the mountain topography, and you can't see too far away.

After turning over a dirt slope again, Lu Bu was pleasantly surprised to find that there were people in front of him.

It looks like about two hundred, all riding tall horses, and when you meet someone on a horse here, who else is it not a Xianbei person?

Lu Bu, who was worried about having no way to make meritorious contributions, couldn't help but grin with an exaggerated arc at the corner of his mouth: "Hahaha, this is a God-given merit, if you don't take it, you will suffer from it, sons, follow me to kill!" ”

The distance between the two armies was only one mile, and the two hundred Xianbei people obviously also discovered Lu Bu and the others, and seeing that they were only fifty people, they had the intention of killing people and seizing horses.

The two armies invariably hedged.

A mile away, and in a matter of moments after the horses were speeded, the two armies collided.

Lu Bu rushed to the forefront, and when he left, Fang Tian's halberd was not ready, and at this time, he was holding a spear and rushed towards the enemy first.

When the distance was less than ten steps, Lu Bu raised his spear, the horse was extremely fast, and in an instant he approached the enemy's formation, the tip of his spear trembled, and with a slight stroke, he accurately cut through the enemy's neck.

Then, with the help of the horse's momentum, a spear pierced the chest of another person, picked up the opponent's corpse with the tip of the spear, and spun in a circle in the air and threw it into the center of the enemy line.

A small wave of commotion suddenly erupted in the enemy formation, and those who were hit by the corpses were directly thrown off their horses, and then trampled to death by their companions.

Seeing that his leader was so brave, the soldiers behind Lu Bu suddenly dissipated a lot of fear when facing the Xianbei people with less to more at first, and they met the enemy one after another.

Seeing that Lu Bu was so arrogant, the leader of the enemy formation couldn't help but be furious, roared away his companions who were blocking the way in front of him, and personally confronted Lu Bu.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in front of Lu Bu, he was taken away by Lu Bu as an ordinary soldier.

As the leader of the 200-person squad in the Xianbei Army, his strength is naturally not low.

However, against Lu Bu, whose force value was as high as 105, he didn't even survive a round, so he hated the horse.

At this time, the rest of the Xianbei people also noticed that their leader was killed by the enemy general, and they instantly became in a commotion.

Looking at the surroundings of the enemy general, more than a dozen companions have been killed by him, and this number is still increasing at a rate of increasing by one per breath, and the Xianbei tribe is terrified.

Now that the leader was dead, and they were unrestrained and dominated by fear, they retreated.

At this time, Lu Bu quickly killed one person, and the Xianbei soldiers had no desire to fight at all, for fear that the next person to die would be himself, so he hurriedly turned around and wanted to escape.

Lu Bu was killing at this time, how could he let them escape, waved his horsewhip, and continued to chase after them.

The fifty soldiers he brought had already died at this time, but the remaining thirty or so people saw that their fifty people had killed and retreated 200 people from the other side, not only did they not fear the death of their companions, but they were inspired by Lu Bu's bravery, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.

When they saw Lu Bu chasing after him, they also waved their horsewhips and chased and killed the Xianbei people.

It's an endless hill with gentle undulations and nothing to stop it.

The war horses on both sides were full of strength and sprinted, but the Xianbei people's war horses were not as fast as the system war horses that Lu Bu sat on, and he soon caught up with the fleeing Xianbei people alone.

Behind Lu Bu, his subordinates were left a hundred meters away.

Seeing that only Lu Bu was chasing after him, Xianbei felt that he was doing it again, and the small leader led his subordinates to fight back against Lu Bu.

However, after discarding more than 30 corpses, they were killed again.

This Han ...... Is it to kill the gods?

Why are there such brave people in the world? Why are such brave people not Xianbei people, but Han people?

With many questions in their hearts, the Xianbei people began to wave their horsewhips frantically again, seizing the road and fleeing.

If you are a little slower, you will be caught up by Lu Bu and killed with a spear.

In this way, Lu Bu chased the remaining more than 100 Xianbei people, chasing and killing all the way, and he didn't know how far he had chased, and the enemy panicked, and he also didn't know where he had fled.

Until there were only more than 50 Xianbei people left, the Xianbei people who were lucky enough to survive finally couldn't stand it anymore and dismounted and begged for mercy.

After escaping for so long, and their companions were killed one by one, they knew that if they continued, they would inevitably die.

And the horsepower is limited, even if they don't drop at this time, the horse finally has a time when it can't run.

And the speed of the opponent's war horse is faster than his own war horse, and its endurance must be better than his own war horse, and if he continues, he will eventually die.

Lu Bu killed all the way, and the desire to fight was almost vented, and when he saw the other party throwing at him, he no longer hurt the killer.

Lu Bu looked at those who dismounted and asked for surrender, and thought: Just hand over these people to Ming Gong Faluo later, maybe they can make a greater contribution because of this.

He stood with his hands in his hands, raised his eyebrows proudly, and waited for his subordinates to come and converge, while guarding more than fifty Xianbei prisoners alone.

This situation and this scene look so funny and how funny.

After waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour, the subordinates led the dead Xianbei people's war horses recovered on the road, and rushed to converge one after another, during which the fifty soldiers, facing Lu Bu alone, none of them had the idea of resisting and escaping.

Lu Bu asked people to tie up all the soldiers with ropes, led the horses back the same way, collected the corpses on the road and humped them on the horse's back as they walked, and waited until all the corpses were gathered and buried in a unified manner.

Returning to the place where the battle was first fought and gathering all the corpses of the Xianbei people together, Lu Bu asked his subordinates to find a big pit and dig deeper, preparing to throw all the corpses of the Xianbei people into it.

The tools used to dig the pit were originally intended to be used to dig the mountain, and the mining and treasure hunting were originally intended to be used to bury the corpses.

At night, the soldiers finally dug a large pit that could hold one hundred and fifty corpses on the basis of the original pit, and when the soldiers were about to come up, they found a shining place at the bottom of the pit by the light of the torches.

He hurriedly took the torch and went over to check, and the people around him, seeing that this person was behaving abnormally, also came to investigate, and also saw something shiny between the cracks.

A few people picked up tools to dig up the soil, revealing more shiny things underneath the soil.

Someone immediately reported this discovery to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu made people look at the captive, and he jumped into the pit to check.

As one of the patriarchs of the Jiuyuan Xiao Clan, Lu Bu's knowledge was naturally not comparable to these ordinary soldiers, and as soon as he saw the shiny thing, he recognized that it was iron ore.

So he immediately asked his men to continue digging to see how much iron ore there was.

The soldiers followed the order and picked up the tools again to excavate.

After digging along the exposed iron ore for a quarter of an hour, everyone found that the more they dug in, the more iron ore was exposed.

Lu Bu was overjoyed to see this, he really made a great contribution this time!
