[I'm really sorry, I didn't ask for leave yesterday and broke off.] I felt a little backache when I went to bed, but I slept yesterday through it]

The sun climbed over the extreme east of the Gaima Mountains and the single collar, rose and drove away the cold and sprinkled the scorching heat above the people's heads, and then gradually sank west to the west of Liangzhou...... It's the Western Regions, right? The activity is out of sight, and the next day it crosses the mountain, and the cycle repeats.

Is there a vast lake in the Western Regions that can sink the sun?

I don't know how many people were tormented by this kind of problem in the pre-Qin period, until Zhang Qian returned from the Western Regions and brought back the news that the sun there was no different from the Central Plains.

It's astonishing.

The craftsmen of the Iron Prison of Anping Township split the Nanyang ring knives brought back by Yanbei into two sections, stared at the number of layers of the section carefully, and finally came to the conclusion that Tie Wu's swords were indeed inferior to those made by Nanyang, because the knives they made were more than sixty layers more than those in Liaodong.

Liaodong's hundred refining knives have more than 60 layers; And Nanyang is a real hundred refining knives, with more than one hundred and twenty layers.

One more fold forging.

If you want to achieve such an extra forging, the Liaodong Iron Supervisor can also do it, but the forging cycle of each batch of ring knives will increase by 17 days, and the consumption of iron will increase by 60%. Because the blades used will no longer be made of fine iron, but of steel.

Yan Bei secretly smacked his tongue and couldn't help but wonder if it was obviously inappropriate to let Liaodong make all of them into such knives. After discussing with Lei Gong, Yanbei decided that in the future, the Liaodong knife-making system should also be divided into different levels, ten refining, twenty refining, fifty refining, and one hundred refining, and making knives according to the ratio of five, three, two, and one.

According to what Yanbei thinks, even if it is Nanyang Iron Prison, it will not be all the swords produced by the hundred refinements, just like the weapons in the arsenal of the imperial court in the past, they are all used in a mixture of good and bad, even if Nanyang is the emperor's hometown, there is no reason to make the best.

Because the best, often also means the most consumed.

A knife costs twenty-seven times the weight of ore, and Yanbei will not do this kind of trading.

"Really?" In the courtyard outside Xiangping City, Yan Bei was stunned and threw the book on the stone case of the pavilion, and asked the messenger horseman: "Are you sure that the senior lieutenant said so, and the sentry cavalry has investigated?" ”

The messenger is an old pawn who follows Gao Ran, and he is no stranger to Yanbei, so he smiled and said respectfully: "General, it's true." When he came, the lieutenant repeatedly told his subordinates to make a decision for the general. ”

Even though Yanbei is now a state pastor and has been named the Marquis of Ji, the sergeant of the army is still called a general, and Yanbei is also very satisfied with such a title, but now he is a little confused.

Waving his hand to order the messenger to go down to rest, watching the old soldier in iron armor retrieve his portable sword at the gate of the courtyard and walk away, Yan Bei turned sideways and pointed at Jian Zhu and said: "Gong and you take a look, Gongsun Zhan is not stupid, the soldiers and horses have shrunk and withdrawn from Zhongshan and Changshan, and only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in the area of Changshan Pass and Wuji City, what is his intention?" ”

Gongsun Zhan's move was too surprising, and he obviously wanted to abandon the northern part of Jizhou...... But does his mother-in-law Sun Bogui have any other territory besides the northern part of Jizhou? Weijun Yecheng is Han Fu's, and no matter how timid the cowards are, they will not allow Gongsun Zan to get involved in Yecheng, and it is almost the same if he is replaced by Yuan Shao; The four places of Bohai, Qinghe, Hejian, and Anping in the east are now in the hands of Yuan Shao, and there is no need to think about it.

General Baima only has Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, and Julu left in his hands, and he has to violently take back the soldiers and horses to the garrison Julu, isn't this a bad brain, what is this?

"General Gongsun, I'm afraid it's a quick battle with Ben Chu." Fu Zhu may not be the best Taishou, but in terms of strategy, he does not let others do anything, and the point in one sentence is clear, and he says: "The excellence of the white horse, the strength of the soldiers and the horse, and the extraordinary tactics; This is the original inferiority, Ruo Bogui fought ruthlessly, and the original was in danger. ”

The tug-of-war Yuan Shao's war potential is strong for Gongsun Zhan, but if the victory is determined in a battle, no one will believe that Yuan Shao has Gongsun Zhan, who has fought against Ma Yanwan and made a great name in northern Xinjiang for half his life.

"This Yan naturally knows, but he can't be angry in his heart, isn't Yan as good as a Yuan erection?" Gongsun Zhan's attitude must be to fight with Yuan Shao, but it is knowing that this makes Yan Bei angry, isn't it Yan who poses the biggest threat to your Gongsun Bogui? Isn't the biggest hatred in the world also Yan? "What is he going to fight with Yuan Shao?"

If Gongsun Zan attacks the east in the north, Yanbei has the confidence to let him break the Zhuo Dynasty, and Yuan Benchu does not have the ability to sneak attack, and the pattern of Jizhou will not change much by next year; But Gongsun Chan attacked the north in the east, in case he hit a nail on Yuan Shao's side, after Gongsun Chan was defeated, Yanbei needed to face the stronger and more tricky Yuan Shao, which was definitely not the situation that Yanbei wanted to see.

would rather fight with the warlord Gongsun Zan for three years, and Yanbei is not willing to fight with Yuan Shao for half a year.

Frustrated Zhu thought that Yanbei was worried about something, but he didn't want to be such angry words, and laughed loudly: "The lord has the respect of the prince and the prince, and he supports the people of Youzhou, how to fight in the beginning, and wait for the next year to order a man and a horse to go out of the customs and take Changshan Zhao County directly, and the number of Black Mountain and Han Fu, Lu Liang Bogui's abdomen and back shocked the original southwest, and the great victory of Youzhou is the matter of Youzhou, and the prosperity of the military equipment can be determined that the Central Plains is just around the corner, so why bother?" ”

"Hah!" Yan Bei laughed out loud, I have to say that many of his subordinates and cronies, few of them are worry-free, but only frustration is the most comfortable for him, but in just a few words, it made Yan Bei open-minded, and after laughing, he suddenly thought of the state capital, poured warm Youzhou fruit wine for the wine vessel on the table in front of him, and took a sip before he said: "This time I returned to Youyou, there is still a major matter undecided, and it needs to be public." ”

Fu Zhi nodded and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Yan respects Mr. Zhongyu, and has promised to drive west after obtaining Yecheng, which is a good thing, and it is indeed a good thing. It's just that His Majesty Luan will drive the conflict with the princes in the west, not to mention for the time being, even if the emperor ushers in, everything is afraid of more constraints, where can the hundred officials of the court look down on Yan to fight like this, every move must be on the table, the public and you know that Yan is not greedy for power, but I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be a false internal friction, and the good situation will be ruined. ”

Welcoming the Son of Heaven is easy to say, but isn't this a roast on the fire?

"Greeting the Son of Heaven? It's a good thing, this is a great opportunity for the general to seize the world! Yan Bei was both excited and full of worry in a few words, but he said that he was frustrated, and he opened his hand to press the hair on the case, and he closed his sleeves and opened his hand to Yan Bei: "Now Youzhou is roughly determined to be attached to Dongyi, and the generals and soldiers are strong and strong, and the reputation of the sea is strong, and the Gongsun is destroyed when he goes south to Jizhou. When the opportunity was chosen to cross the Henan to Sanfu, the emperor was welcomed and the capital was moved to Yecheng. The message can be given to the Huns to give the title of Montenegro, coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, support the armor and destroy the rebel party, who in the world can be the enemy? Compared to ten years, this achievement will be done! ”
