Text Chapter 17 The Imperial Ledger Rides

Dozens of miles away, the army led by the prince of Sang Guo had already set up camp, and thousands of tents stretched on the small slopes of the desert.

This army will only stay here for one night, but a brazier every five steps, a bonfire every 100 meters, and a lookout tower every 500 meters illuminate a frontier.

The prince made such a big show in this empty place just to tell others that he was here.

If the army of the Sang State saw the scene of camping here, it would certainly be able to continue to maintain the momentum of the rainbow; the soldiers of the Qin State had gone at this time, and if they wanted to turn the tide, they had to make dangerous moves, and the big account here would certainly attract some people to drink and quench their thirst.

The team of 10,000 people took turns to sleep, and the sleepers did not exceed seven layers at the same time, and those who fell asleep all slept in their clothes, without taking off their armor and weapons in hand. At the same time, there are nearly 1,000 soldiers patrolling outside, and 100 scouts are waiting, and there is no need to repeat the safety of this place.

In the center of the camp, at the top of the hill, there is a huge tent, the length and width of each more than ten zhang, luxuriously decorated, there are all kinds of exquisite daily necessities inside, just the brush on the desk is made of the tip of the tail of the white wolf king, can be worth fifty gold.

The prince sitting at the desk is peerless, his appearance is like a knife and an axe, resolute but hidden softness, his eyes are like electricity but he is benevolent, he is unruly in a military uniform, and his pen is like the wind when he writes in his hand, and the pen is full of flowers.

is really a strange man who is both civil and military in the world, and the crown is overwhelming.

But no one is perfect, so the prince also has shortcomings. If you look closely, you can find that there is some messiness between his eyebrows, sometimes he acts too quickly, his forehead is a little high and broad, and he is a little rigid and self-serving.

Just as the prince was writing, the fat general ran in, knelt down on one knee and saluted, pointed in the direction of Zhang County and said, "Your Highness, there is a fire in Zhang County!"

"There's a big fire?" said the prince to himself, frowning.

raised his head and calmly said to the fat general: "It was that person who led the troops to rob the gold and silver of the big families in Zhang County, and he was lighting a fire to cover up the evidence." ”

The fat general was very conscious of being a subordinate, and after listening to the prince's words, he first made a very approving expression, and then added: "Your Highness is right, and this is the only possibility, so should your subordinates send some people to take a look?"

The prince thought for a moment and ordered: "There's no need to go now, it's definitely gone long ago if you set fire to it, we will go there tomorrow, and then we can go in and have a look." ”

"Your Highness is wise!" the fat general's expression of admiration was not easy to pretend, "Then the subordinate will retire first." After saying that, the fat general stood up slightly and slowly took a few steps back before turning around and walking out.

"Wait. The prince raised his head and called out to the fat general, he pinched his chin and thought about it and ordered: "In this way, you send a small team of royal tent relatives to investigate the surrounding areas of Zhang County." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates understand. After the fat general shouted, he ran to arrange for manpower.

The Imperial Tent was adapted from Xiang Yu's ancient Ukrainian army, and later subordinated to the Royal Guard of the Sang Kingdom, with an establishment of about 10,000 people, and the main task was to protect important people. This time, the prince came to the north, with a total of twenty squads and a total of hundreds of royal tent riders accompanying him for protection.

Out of the big tent, the fat general straightened his body, his eyes were small but shining, his body was round but majestic, looking at the vast land in front of him, he muttered: "Yang Ye, Yang Ye!"

In this southern expedition, the prince was able to move forward, beat the Chixia Road, and approached the sixteen cities in Guanbei, and this fat general also had to take half of the credit. The situation in the north has been stable for so many years, and under his Zhang Yu's planning, coupled with the prince's great success, he decisively sent troops to have the current residents.

Zhang Yu is a descendant of Zhang Xutuo, a descendant of the God of War, as an ideal and ambitious man, he has always wanted to recreate the glory of his ancestors.

However, most of the credit for the results of this southern expedition will be taken by the crown prince, and not many people will applaud his advice.

If you want to make a name for yourself in this battle, then you can only rely on Yang Ye, who jumped out of the encirclement yesterday.

What will Yang Ye do? Zhang Yu stood in Yang Ye's point of view and found that only by making a desperate bet to break through the command camp of Sang Guo and even kill the crown prince could he achieve the goal of turning the situation around.

Although Yang Ye is a famous general in the world, Zhang Yu's ability is also very good, and several blitzkriegs directly smashed the defense line in the north of Qinguo. Yang Ye wanted to organize manpower to fight back several times, but Zhang Yu didn't give him a chance at all, and after taking the lead, he still worked step by step, continuing to compress Yang Ye's operating space.

If the results can only be maintained at the current level, and there can be no greater breakthrough, Zhang Yu still can't restore the glory of his ancestors, and he still can't become a famous general by word of mouth.

The times need to be handed over, and the rise of a strong man is often accompanied by the end of a hero. Zhang Yu is looking for an opportunity for a decisive battle with Yang Ye and an opportunity to become famous all over the world.

The prince also wants to prove his ability, his camp in this northern land is so big and conspicuous, he wants to use himself as bait, that is, he hopes that Yang Ye, a big fish, will take the bait.

"Who is more invincible? Twenty years of war. Zhang Yu looked at the royal account family riding team that had escaped into the darkness and read softly.

At the same time, Zhang Hui began the final preparations before this trip.

First, I found some clothes, which should be embroidered with gold threads and gold leaves, and when it was cold, I had to bring thicker clothes. In terms of eating, try to bring high-quality polished rice and some dry food, and bring a pot in order to eat gruel.

In addition to some basic things that will be used on the road, Zhang Hui also went to the mourning hall behind the lobby and took a brocade box.

The brocade box is classical and elegant, carved with agarwood, the taste is fragrant but elegant, the paint is magnificent, the relief dragon and phoenix are even more lifelike, think that this brocade box is worth a lot of gold and silver.

In the brocade box was a short dagger, about a foot long, and the scabbard was so dark that it was impossible to see the depth. Pick up the short dagger, only to see the dagger handle carved with a "Zhang" character, pull out the short dagger, only to see that the knife body is electric light-like lines, it can be seen that it is made of iron.

Iron iron, also known as Uzi steel, is a superb metal, which is naturally extremely difficult to form, and requires an extremely cold place in an extremely hot place or an extremely hot place in an extremely cold place to form.

Artificial construction should be continuously quenched with high-grade refined iron in two environments, ice and fire, so that the refined iron is heated unevenly and slowly formed.

Due to continuous quenching, the hardness and toughness of this fine iron are excellent; because it is hammered in ice and fire, it is easy to have lines at the contact mouth when beating, and this kind of texture is the "snowflake pattern" "electric pattern" and "crack" on the sword body after the finished product, because the lines are different, the finished product will be called "Snow Iron Knife", "Cracked Iron Sword", "Electric Iron Gun" and so on.

Iron weapons, good looking is an advantage, the main thing is to blow the hair and break the thorns, and the tenacity is extraordinary. However, the production of iron is extremely low, and it is not available to ordinary people.

The iron short knife in Zhang Hui's hand is not good in workmanship, and the weight in his hand is not right, in fact, the outer layer is watered with iron. It can be placed here entirely because it is the personal dagger of the ancestors of the Zhang family, a weapon with more commemorative significance than actual value.

As a descendant of the Zhang family, Zhang Hui will definitely take it away.

took out the short knife from the brocade box and played with a knife flower, Zhang Hui put it into his boots, and the precious and gorgeous brocade box was thrown away by him directly.

"Exactly. Zhang Hui patted the side of his shoe and stomped his foot again, feeling very appropriate.

After searching in this ancestral hall for a while, and didn't find anything that needed to be taken away, Zhang Hui returned to those spirit tablets, lit three incense sticks, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Rank ancestors... This time I will return to Yunguan, you should bless me more, and when I am successful, I will definitely come back to worship you. ”

After speaking, Zhang Hui knocked his head three times, and after inserting the incense in the incense burner, he left without looking back.

In the fireroom in the backyard, Zhang Wu is forging weapons and spears, compared with other weapons, guns are less difficult to build, and the Zhang family's family also uses guns.

There are many kinds of guns, which can be subdivided into spears and lances in general, and the difficulty of building them is also different, the simple one or two hours is good, and the difficult ones are like lances, and the process is so complex that it takes three or five years to get it right.

Today, the purpose is to hide the gold in the weapon, in case there will be an unforeseen need on the road, so the whole forging process is still relatively casual.

Growing up in the largest civilian "arms" group in the Northland, Zhang Wu still has the technology to build weapons, and it may not be good to build, but he can get it out.

The size of the spear to be built was determined, and a random abrasive tool was made, and the yellow was melted into the abrasive tool by making a fire, and the shape of the spear came out after quenching it with cold water.

After the gun was shot, Zhang Wu began to melt the semi-finished iron, which has a high melting point, but adding toner and phosphorus powder can reduce the melting point a lot.

At the same time, Zhang Wu also poured a layer of 100 steel on the outside of the golden gun, so that it could be better used in battle and more convenient.

After extracting the water, Zhang Wu picked up one of them and danced a few times, and said to himself: "It's a little ugly." ”
