Xu Zhen smiled, and Pu Feng and the others next to him smiled directly, and by the way, they also looked at Xu Zhen's face, and there was no too much change.

Although he didn't know what worries the prince had, he laughed in the end.

This night is really cooking sheep and slaughtering pigs, drinking for fun! The prince even paid out of his own pocket and spent a huge amount of money to ask someone to go to the people's house in the city to buy a jar of wine.

It was given to the soldiers in the army who made meritorious contributions this time.

"Thanks to the prince's persistence!"

Outside the tent, the people around the cauldron laughed and drank happily, and Pu Feng and many generals sighed how difficult this matter was.

"At that time, the burning was not enough, and the pig iron could not be fused, and it was Yuan'er who asked me to do this, and put the pig iron in the air so that the wind could blow in, and only the gap could meet the wind."

After saying this, Xu Zhen suddenly got up.

A look of remorse.

"Oops! It's groundless! ”

What did I do with all my 97 intelligence!

I didn't think of it at the time!

Xu Zhen was in a hurry, and asked Dian Wei and Zilong to accompany the craftsman battalion to pay off, and asked Zhuge Liang and Xu Chu to arrange for tonight's duty.

I rode the red rabbit horse back to Shouchun City.

Galloping like the wind, running like red thunder!

Flashing and swerving over the trail.

Then I went home and read.

Xu Zhen thought about it at the door of Diao Chan, but forgot it.

I'll talk about it next time.

……

A few days later.

The steel filling method was pushed to the whole army, and dozens of catties of Suzhou iron were created, which were stored in the regiment, and according to Pu Yuan's idea, the blade was made with Suzhou iron.

After the wrought iron is forged, the back of the knife is formed, and then it is more refined after fusion.

Su Tie can also be used to create halberd heads, broadsword tips, spear tips, spears, horses, and so on.

At this point, almost within a month of the autumn harvest, it will be in full swing, making fine iron.

With the increasing investment, the consumption of minerals, iron tools, etc. of these materials is huge, and the gold, silver, rice and grain are constantly exchanged for Jiangdong, and Sun Ce has unknowingly become a great pillar behind Xu Zhen.

Of course, Sun Ce has to lead Wu Jun, Chaisang, Jianye Huiji and other places at this moment.

He was marrying the Dashi clan in various places, and he didn't notice it for the time being.

At this time, Xu Zhen had already created three hundred ring-headed knives.

Outside the barracks school grounds.

Dian Wei and Jia Xu walked side by side, the main camp was not far away, and when they walked all the way, the two also had a rare opportunity to talk, in fact, Dian Wei still loves to chat with Jia Xu.

If you ask about the general trend of the world and the chance of victory or defeat, he can also teach one or two, and he can say the truth.

It is incomprehensible to understand, but it is possible to listen to a few words and relieve the boredom.

"I heard that when Lu Bu came to fight, the general asked for battle, and it was really a big fight with the prince, and in the end the prince was intimidated by the general, huh...... is so powerful, it is rare for a warrior to admonish him. ”

"Hey! Of course! ”

As soon as Dian Wei heard this, his eyes were about to rise to his head, which showed that the prince was really very well-behaved and did not tell others about it.

At least the rumors that Jia Xu heard are still showing his prestige!

I can't talk about the general trend under the chat, but if I talk about this, then I won't be sleepy.

"Naturally, I've been following the prince for so many years, don't I even have this privilege? To put it mildly, although the prince saved my life in Wancheng, oh! Wancheng is a ploy used by your old boy! ”

"No, no, no! It's not me, it's not me! ”

Jia Xu suddenly smiled bitterly, how did you come around here, is it just to force me to run!?

At this time, he knew very well in his heart that he was going to be made sooner or later.

Since he talked about the affairs of Dianwei and the prince in the military tent at that time, he must have been fully prepared in his heart.

How proud and arrogant Dian Wei is smiling now, how miserable he will be when he runs up in the future.

But since you can't avoid it, why bother pretending not to know, and then talk about it in your heart!

"Oh, it's not you!" Dian Wei took a deep breath, nodded, and seemed to be satisfied, and then said: "Well, in short, although he saved my name, but I have followed loyally for so many years, what is it to quarrel with the prince?" ”

"Between brothers, what if it's even a fight?"

Jia Xu suddenly nodded thoughtfully, "It makes sense, it makes sense." ”

"Then it seems that the three hundred swords made this time, the general is also bound to get."

"That's it! Just wait and see. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the main tent.

This time, Xu Zhen was lying on his side reading inside, one hand bent on the side of his head, and he was extremely fascinated, and one foot was bent, like a beauty lying on his side.

Feeling that someone was coming, he quickly sat up straight.

Then he put down the book.

[You study hard for a quarter of an hour, self-discipline +5]

Xu Zhen: "......"

"!"

Jia Xu was stunned and said, "Prince, the lord is not here." ”

"I didn't mean that."

Xu Zhen smacked his lips, looked left and right a few times helplessly, and said to Dian Wei with a smile: "If you don't want a knife, get out!" ”

"Huh?!"

Pawn Wei was immediately stunned!

I said that I would give some face outside!

"Prince! At that time, when you wanted Xiliang War Horse, I would give it to you without saying a word! ”

"It's not."

Dian Wei: "......"

"Then you just said that you didn't give it in the end, right?"

"Given."

"Then why don't you give the knife now?!"

"Don't give it!"

Xu Zhen was also very neat, and directly choked Dian Wei a few words, so Dian Wei's eyes glared at Xu Zhen.

Wide-eyed staring.

After staring at it for a while, he turned his head to look at Jia Xu again.

Jia Xu immediately understood, and arched his hand: "Old decay, go out first." ”

When others go out, there are only two people in the main account.

Dian Wei was very skillful and threw himself directly on Xu Zhen's lap and hugged it, before his mouth began to wail, Xu Zhen immediately looked up at the sky, looking helpless.

"Let me say so, I want it from the Sword and Shield Battalion." Xu Zhen was concise and to the point, the current resources were not enough, and the three thousand knives would not be able to be created until at least three months.

And at that time, it was already autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, basically the army wants to open this place, and the more than 50,000 elite soldiers under Xu Zhen can only leave more than 10,000 people to defend Hefei.

And the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Lujiang can hardly be moved lightly.

The rest of the army must be brought to Xudu, and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses must be joined to prepare for joint training, and if they are stationed in the future, they should be stationed in Chenliu County.

It was very close to Dongjun, and Xu Zhen could send troops to Puyang in three days, and then enter the battlefield south of the Yellow River to prepare to fight Yuan Shao.

It is also possible that Cao Cao has other arrangements.

But no matter what, there is not much time left for Xu Zhen now, and the matter of making weapons, what can be exchanged for money and food today is only 3,000 knives.

Xu Zhen also wants to use Su Tie to make arrows, and it is estimated that there can be thousands, and he can't afford more.

He only has three counties, not three states.

"Why?! How long has he Gao Shun just arrived? You can lead such soldiers! I'm not convinced! Dian Wei exploded when he heard this, his voice was a lot louder, and the look of grievance on his face suddenly appeared, he was really anxious.

"You're going to do it now, aren't you?" Xu Zhen also became serious at this time, looking down at Dian Wei.

"Not really!" Dian Wei lowered his head, but he was very unwilling to say: "I just don't accept it, why can he be treated like this by the prince and the marquis." ”

"He was desperate to protect Lu Bu at the beginning!"

"He can't beat me! I can behead someone in 20 turns! ”

Xu Zhen retracted his feet, pulled out directly from Dian Wei's hand, and then squatted in front of him, and whispered: "The sword and shield battalion is to go over the mountains and mountains, he has the experience of trapping the camp, and he is more suitable for raiding in the mountains and forests. ”

"These armaments will also be lost."

"People can't be lucky, because the method of raiding this kind of warfare, I only need to lose once, I will lose an elite soldier, plus a tiger general, you say, I am reluctant to let you die?"

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, even if he was lying on his stomach, he struggled to lean back, smiled hehe, and said, "That prince must be reluctant to let me go." ”

"So, I'll only say these words once, and if I say too much, it's hurtful."

"Got it!"

Dian Wei stood up and patted the soil, looked left and right as if he was looking for something, and smiled innocently.

"Well, I can't just go back like this, really."

"If this is really the case, how can I explain to Qi Yu, how can I explain to the more than 5,000 brothers under my command!? I can't get a knife, so what?! ”

"Give you two halberds, and I'll fight you myself."

Xu Zhen said seriously.

"Huh!" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, and his nose suddenly became sore.

Stared at Xu Zhen for a long time, nodded immediately, and laughed happily, "Okay, that's good!" ”

"Hahaha!! Prince, I know that you are the best for me! ”

Among the generals of the whole battalion, only Dian Weilai and Xu Zhen Sapo are useful, and other people like Xu Chu and Zhao Yun have no effect, and Zhuge Liang is not very interested in these, so he will not come to ask for these resources in the army except for books.

Not to mention, now Xu Zhen is actually willing to spend his time to play a pair of double halberds for Dian Wei.

"Alas! Sick of it!! Xu Zhen glared at him, "Are you a fisherman?" Never the Air Force, right?! ”

"What do you have to take with you every time you come?"

Dian Wei smiled, although he didn't understand, but he felt that Junhou's explanation was extremely good, he looked left and right, saw half a box of shortbread on the case, and walked over slowly.

Xu Zhen is still counting here, "Some people say that you have no brains, I see that your muscles are full of brains!" ”

"What meat?"

"Kun meat."

Xu Zhen gave him an angry look.

"The prince and I are gone, this shortbread ...... I'll go back and taste it, and I'll say it's from the prince. ”

"Tsk......" Xu Zhen just wanted to speak, but he took a big breath and held back.

Dian Wei came to ask for it once.

Zhao Yun also came to ask for it once, and Zhong Kang had already told Xu Zhen about this problem when he was on duty many days ago.

But I didn't get it.

The most prickly one is done, and the soldiers and horses of the various military camps will have no excuses.

"Next, you have to find a way to get money as much as possible, Jiangdong people...... Strive for ...... again"

"Or, Jingzhou can also fight for it."

At this time, Xu Zhen's mind was full of open source things.

Now we can only rely on trade to make money, and I am afraid that Jiangdong's strength is still not enough, and we have to think of another way.

Or...... Jingxiang is rich in products...... Maybe there's still a chance.

"Wait a little longer, there will definitely be a chance over there in Jingzhou."

How Xu Zhen wished that where he was at this moment, the bandits were entrenched one by one.

It's a pity that the bandits have all been attached to the soldiers.

……

Midday.

After Xu Zhen finished eating, he took Zhao Yun to the barracks together.

Followed by many generals, the drill was conducted.

After the Su Iron Knife was created, Pu Yuan specially created a unique one for Xu Zhen.

Knife grid has been added, so it appears longer.

At the same time, the knife holder is integrated with gold powder, which appears slightly textured, and is treated with fine carving.

And named Shuhou knife.

Xu Zhen held it, and Zhao Yun held it.

"Are you ready?!"

"Come, Marquis!"

Zhao Yun held the sword in his right hand, and drank coldly in a deep voice, his eyes solemn.

"That's it!" Xu Zhen calmly broke off, "If the Qing Yu is broken!" ”

Zhao Yun immediately exhaled: "Let's just say that Xia Houen made it!" ”

"Come!"

Xu Zhen took a step forward and swung it out.

The wind rose suddenly, and the knife surface went smoothly.

Clang!

There was a crunch.

Swords collided violently.

Xu Zhen's tiger mouth suddenly went numb, and he almost came out of his hand, but he finally took it.

The edge of Shuhou's knife shook slightly, but there was no crack.

"Hahaha!"

Xu Zhen suddenly burst out laughing, amazing!

Iron-sharpened swords cannot be destroyed, which means that anyone with a shield and shield can have such a blade.

As long as it is ensured that this matter is not leaked out, when it appears on the battlefield for the first time in the future, this army will definitely make great achievements.

"Prince!"

Zhao Yun shouted, he had actually taken half a step back in the middle of Fang Cai's slash.

At this time, I was a little confused.

This is the first time that the green rays have encountered a weapon that cannot be cut.

Over the past year, he has forcibly occupied Qingyu in his hand, and the more he uses it, the more he likes it, and he used to give Xia Houen back for a while, but now he doesn't pay it back at all.

Anyway, Xia Houen couldn't beat him.

When I look at it again today, it suddenly doesn't smell good.

"Junhou, can you keep sixty catties of iron and build me a gun?"

Xu Zhen nodded, "Yes." ”

"You can all let Pu Feng forge your blades. I'm running out of time, and I'm going to have to help Awe fight a pair of Su Iron Halberds. ”

"Thank you, Marquis!"

Zhao Yun immediately clenched his fists, with a smile on his face, and at the same time a little envious, but he was still not sour at all, and said quite calmly: "In this way, Brother Dian Wei can advocate for several months." ”

"Well, it's over."

Xu Zhen shook his head, as if he was humble when others praised his son.

There are still a lot of proud and proud expressions on his face.

……

Equipped with swords, three thousand knives, constantly accelerating the creation, Xu Zhen never dared to stay at all, and at the same time he was trying to find a way to open source.

Or they can collect reports from various places and estimate this year's grain harvest.

Let Zhuge Liang find a way to plan it out and exchange it for money.

It is used to fund the army.

About half a month later, two pieces of news came on the same day that made Xu Zhen quite moved.

First, from the Jiangdong side, two businessmen came, saying that they were recommended by the old people, so they came to visit the prince and brought a large number of goods to see if they needed to buy.

The second thing is that a group of people came from Lujiang and came here to join Xu Zhen.

"That's good news, whatever you want."

Xu Zhen smiled and temporarily solved the problem of shortage of money.

"Not bad!"

Zhuge Liang followed Xu Zhen's steps, and the two walked on the straight road from the government office, all the way to the main gate.

Xu Zhen's face was still very calm, and said: "Go and see Xu Gong's people immediately, and then settle the people from Lujiang first." ”

"Any deal has a price, first go and see, what they want."
