Chapter 179
Several guards entered the central army tent, fearing that Liu Bei, armed with a weapon, would intend to attack the commander, so they took precautions.
Under the gaze of several people in the tent, Liu Bei swung his sword and chopped.
Click.
The crisp sound of cutting iron rang out in the tent.
"Hmm!"
Lu Zhi's eyes lit up.
"It's like cutting iron like mud!"
He stood up and came to Liu Bei in a few steps, his face full of excitement.
Liu Bei was even more excited.
Finally, Lu Zhi's interest was aroused, and things would be easy to handle afterwards.
He raised his hands and respectfully handed over the steel knife in his hand.
Lu Zhi took it in his hand and played with it, "Good knife!"
Although he was not a military general and didn't know much about weapons.
But the scene that just happened in front of him was still shaking his heart.
"It can cut the standard sabers of the soldiers in two."
"This steel knife is really sharp."
"If our soldiers on the battlefield all have such steel knives, wouldn't they be invincible?"
"Those Yellow Turban rebels are definitely not opponents."
"A big victory over the enemy is only in a decisive battle!"
Lu Zhi became more and more excited as he thought about it.
Liu Bei continued: "This knife was given to the students by the Tanghai County man before."
"It is called the fifty-refined fine steel sword."
"Fifty-refined?" Lu Zhi held the steel knife, observed the blade, and frowned a little more, "Folding forging?"
"The highest forging skill in Nanyang Iron and Steel Supervision is fifty-refined, right?"
"It is said that the hundred-refined process has been broken through recently, and the specific situation is still unknown."
"In the bitter cold place of Youzhou, there are actually people who can forge a fifty-refined sword?"
"Not only that!" Liu Bei hurriedly passed the message.
"Then Tanghai County can forge steel that is 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 times more refined than this 50 times refined steel."
"When the students came, the Youzhou government purchased a batch of 1,000-refined weapons, a total of 3,000."
"Equipped for the Youzhou soldiers."
Lu Zhi's hand trembled, and the steel knife fell to the ground.
If the guards beside him hadn't been quick and grabbed it.
The sharp blade would have landed on Lu Zhi's feet.
"That was close." Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Lu Zhi's mind flashed the scene of the saber being easily cut off just now.
If the blade had landed on his feet, I'm afraid his feet would have been split in two on the spot.
"There are actually materials in this world that are better than 100 times refined steel?" Lu Zhi couldn't believe it.
"1,000 times refined, 10,000 times refined?"
"How sharp would it be?"
If he hadn't just seen Liu Bei, who was not strong, cut off the saber with one knife.
He couldn't believe it.
He felt that the student who was greedy for pleasure must be bragging.
However, military secrets were important, and if he lied, he would have the power of life and death.
Chopping off the other party's head was just a matter of words.
Liu Bei, who had always been smart, would not be so stupid as to lie at this time to attract his attention.
Liu Bei continued: "Then Tanghai County should have a way to mass-produce thousand-refined steel weapons."
"When I gave the student fifty steel knives before, there was no mention of thousand-refined."
"And the next time the student saw the other party in Jicheng, Youzhou, he took out three thousand thousand-refined steel knives."
"And, he sold them to wealthy families in the city."
"Is it true?" Lu Zhi became more excited, "Such a good sword can actually be mass-produced?"
He seemed to see the soldiers holding extremely sharp weapons and chopping the Yellow Turban soldiers into two with one knife.
With a thud, Liu Bei knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "I am willing to swear to heaven!"
"If there is any falsehood in what you said, I will be struck by lightning as soon as I leave this central army tent!"
"You will die a miserable death on the spot!"
Liu Bei was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears: "I heard that you were in a stalemate with the Yellow Turban rebels in Guangzong City, and I thought that if you could have such a weapon, you would definitely defeat the Yellow Turbans. I have come all the way here, risking my life."
"It is to pass on such news to you!"
"Xuan De, please get up quickly." Lu Zhi helped him up, I misunderstood you before."
"I didn't expect that you would miss me at the critical moment."
"You brought me such important news."
After a little consideration, Lu Zhi spoke again: "Xuan De, I now order you to be a subordinate of the General of the Central Army."
"You are fully responsible for the purchase of weapons for our army."
"I will have someone prepare a seal for you and give you some accompanying personnel."
"Immediately go to Tanghai County, Youzhou, and purchase the thousand-refined steel weapon you mentioned."
"The money you need will be allocated to you from the military supplies."
"That..." Liu Bei was a little embarrassed and hesitated.
Lu Zhi said seriously: "Xuan De, youWe are master and disciple, if there is anything, just speak directly. Why are you hesitating? "
"Sir." Liu Bei said: "Although the Qianlian steel weapon is good, it is also very expensive."
"It is said that one is more than 20,000 coins."
"20,000!" Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
Even if his 50,000 troops are not fully armed, they are only equipped to 10,000 people.
Wouldn't it cost... 200 million coins!
"This is too expensive..."
Lu Zhi rubbed his hands with embarrassment, at a loss.
Although it was expensive, it made him see the best way to defeat the Yellow Turbans.
Lu Zhi was a little embarrassed for a while, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Sir." Liu Bei stepped forward and said in a low voice: "This is an extraordinary period."
"Let the Yellow Turban rebels rebel for one more day, and the common people will suffer one more day."
"In such a special period, weapons should be dispatched directly from Tanghai County. ”
“Write a memorial to the court, and they will definitely agree.”
“And as for the governor of Youzhou, communicate by letter.”
“I believe the governor will also understand this matter…”
He stopped at the right time, leaving Lu Zhi to think on his own.
After a little hesitation, Lu Zhi made up his mind and his eyes became firm: “Let’s do it!”
“I don’t want to see the people displaced because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion anymore.”
“The whole Jizhou has been ruined by the Yellow Turbans.”
“I am deeply saddened!”
“Now I will write a memorial and a letter. "
Lu Zhi, who was resolute and swift, acted immediately.
The military officers in the camp swarmed in upon hearing the news.
Enter the central army tent and play with the fifty-tempered fine steel sword.
The guards outside the tent were in bad luck.
Every time a military officer came, he would enter the tent and say a few words before turning around and asking the guards for their swords.
Until he had chopped off all the weapons of the dozen guards and finally had nothing left to chop, he gave up in disappointment.
Looking at the weapons that were cut in half and scattered all over the ground in the central army tent, the military officers were very excited.
"If we had such a weapon, we could rush to that damn Tian Gong General and chop off his head! "
Liu Bei instantly became the target of the military officers' inquiries.
They surrounded him and asked him questions.
Liu Bei was very happy with such treatment.
He answered questions fluently and instantly became one with the military officers.
