If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. ------"The Analects of Confucius" by Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period
It is said that Chen Long met Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng by chance while ordering troops at the Lingling campus. Han was eager to improve his skills and wanted to compete with Chen Long in bow and arrow competition in front of all the troops. Chen Long took a carved bow, performed Xuan Gong, rode his horse, shot the carved feathers, and showed off his heroic courage. He turned his head and looked at the moon. The bow opened like a full moon, the arrow shot like a shooting star, and he exploded an archery target a hundred feet away. When all the troops saw this amazing performance, they were all mesmerized. It took a long time before they burst into loud cheers, and the prefect's mighty roar sounded like an overwhelming force.
Huang Zhong was also dumbfounded. When he saw Wen Long galloping back, holding his hardened iron bow to his chest, his courage immediately surged up. He turned over and mounted his horse. Just as Chen Long and Chen Long were crossing each other, his right hand had already been drawn out. Three eagle-feathered arrows, a circle of horse heads in the left hand, the horse was walking sideways, the three eagle-feathered arrows were instantly wound, and the three arrows were shot in a row. What is rare is that they hit the red heart at the same time. The tails of the three arrows were neatly inserted into the red heart. Seeing such a magical skill, all the troops also cheered. Huang Zhong laughed and returned.
Chen Long quickly raised his hands to greet him and said: "Han Sheng's unique skill is to fire arrows in a row and hit the target at the same time without losing the accuracy. I am not as good as me." Huang Gai quickly waved his hand and said: "Wen Long, no matter the distance of the arrow, The strength of the arrow energy is far inferior to mine. Han Sheng was so impressed that he fell to the ground." The two were complimenting each other, and Huang Gai next to them said: "Uncle Shi, you also have good sword skills, why don't you show it off too?" The crowd roared, Chen Long also said: "I'm about to see Han Sheng's sword skills, so don't refuse."
Huang Zhong couldn't refuse, so he called a young general next to him: "Fu Tong, bring me my red blood knife." When Chen Long heard Fu Tong's name, he seemed to have seen it in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and quickly activated his optical computer to look it up. Sure enough, there was Fu Tong. Tong was a man who was extremely loyal and brave. When Lu Xun burned the alliance, he died of exhaustion and vomited blood in order to protect Liu Bei and his army from cutting off the rear. He never surrendered to Wu. His son Fu Qian was also a famous general of Shu Han in later generations. Fu Tong couldn't help but start thinking about it.
After a while, Fu Tong took a long knife and handed it to Huang Zhong. Chen Long saw that the knife was made of pure steel. The blade was slender, and the handle was about the same length as the blade. The whole knife was engraved with simple patterns, and there was a faint red blood light when it flickered. He knew it was a precious blade, so he couldn't help but take it and appreciate it carefully. . But the blade turned out to be as red as blood, and the blade was streamlined, with a slight arc at the tip, making it look extremely sharp. The back of the knife was thick, with a deep blood groove in the middle, extending straight to the handle. Chen Long tutted in praise, Huang Zhong once again mounted his horse with his sword, and performed several sword techniques on the empty field. The sword passed by, filled with red light, and was filled with cold energy. It was indeed a big killing weapon.
Huang Zhong played by himself for a while, but felt that it was not enough, and shouted: "Wen Long, the three armies are in front today, why don't you dance with me?" Chen Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and just wanted to try his Han family's marksmanship, but he didn't have any weapons, so he He took Liu Xian's steel spear, jumped on his horse, patted the horse and came to Huang Zhong's horse, cupping his hands and saying, "Han Sheng, show mercy!"
Huang Zhong's face became solemn and he said slowly: "This sword is called Red Shadow. I got it from the Black Bamboo Secret Realm in the south of the county in the past. Wenlong be careful." As he said that, he struck with the sword in a majestic way, and it turned out to be Very solemn. Chen Long knew that the first move was to be polite, so he raised the steel spear and gave it a slight knock. Sure enough, Huang Zhong's sword changed instantly. The red sword flashed, and the red shadow sword changed from a vertical slash to a straight stab, and blood rushed straight to Chen Long. The dragon comes from the belly. Chen Long cheered up, and his marksmanship also changed accordingly. With a smooth movement of his left and right hands, the steel gun he raised turned into an upright interception, and with a loud sound, the tip of the red shadow sword was deflected. This time the two of them were wrestling, and the fight was evenly matched. Chen Long saw that the steel gun in his hand had a faint scratch. He knew that the red shadow knife was sharper than his own steel gun, so he used his internal strength to preemptively start to attack. The Han family's marksmanship Taking advantage of the situation, several guns and flowers were shot at Huang Zhong's front door. Huang Zhong shouted loudly, and the red shadow knife followed him like a shadow, hitting Chen Long's spear tip with incomparable precision. Both sides used 80% of their strength at this time. Sparks flew everywhere where the knife and gun collided. Huang Zhong only felt a slight pain in the tiger's mouth. Knowing that Chen Long was more powerful, he developed a set of defensive sword skills. The red blood light was impermeable to the weather, resisting Chen Long's wild attacks. Occasionally he would make unexpected cuts, which also caused Chen Long to break out in a cold sweat. This was a typical defense. Counterattack tactics. It was the first time that Chen Long used the Han family's marksmanship to fight against the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms. He felt extremely relaxed. He used the twenty-eight styles of the Han family's marksmanship like a rainstorm. He gained a lot of insights during the process. He also incorporated modern battle techniques and created some of his own. The new move is to kill Huang Zhong with his armor tilted, making his hands busy and messy. The steel gun tip and the red blood knife collided countless times. Suddenly the gun head flew out and was cut off by the red blood knife.
Huang Zhong jumped out of the circle with his horse and laughed loudly: "Wen Long is good at marksmanship, but I am not as good as me! It's just that you don't have the weapon at hand. If there were magic weapons to help me, I would have lost long ago." Chen Long threw away the steel gun. , dismounted and walked to Huang Zhong, clasped his fists and said: "Han Sheng's martial arts is superb, Wen Long admires him very much. I have benefited a lot from today's battle. How about today's battle, you and I are victorious and undefeated?" Huang Zhong laughed after hearing this. , jumped off the horse and hugged Chen Long tightly, both of them felt sympathy for each other.
Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Chen Long, Huang Zhong and other generals rode back to the city. Along the way, Chen Long and Huang Zhong walked side by side, expressing their welcome. After hearing this, Huang Zhong thought for a moment and said: "Wenlong, we felt like old friends when we met. It is my great fortune to be valued by you. With a prefect like Wenlong, the Qinglong Army in Lingling will definitely become the leader of my Han Dynasty." , I am also yearning for it. But I am still serving in the imperial court, how can I be half-hearted and ignore Han Xuan, the current governor of Changsha. When I return to Changsha and report to Han Xuan, if he allows me to resign from the military, I will It's not too late to come back to Wenlong's office to take up the post." Wenlong nodded slightly, knowing that the forceful melon was not sweet, he felt disappointed and said: "But the general is leaving here, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, don't forget my feelings of missing you." Huang Zhong said movedly : "Han Sheng thanks you for Wen Long's kindness. In this way, the young general I brought, Fu Tong, is skilled in bow and horse and has a lot of strategy. I will leave him with you to help you form an army. If I can get it someday Freedom will inevitably come to serve Wenlong, and Fu Tong is the witness."
Chen Long was overjoyed when he heard this. Huang Zhong handed over all his confidant generals to him. He seemed to be very sincere and said quickly: "In that case, Wen Long thanks Han Sheng for his kindness. I got Fu Tong today and I look forward to Han Sheng's arrival in the future." Be my deputy. Fu Tong, I will let him be my deputy division commander, Han Sheng can rest assured." Huang Zhong asked: "What is a deputy division commander?" Chen Long explained his military system again, Huang Gai said with great joy: "Fu Tong Tong is just a partial general in my place, but Wen Long values it. This is a big promotion. Fu Tong, why don't you come over and thank the prefect!" Fu Tong is still young and single. Seeing Chen Long's superior martial arts, he has long admired him, and he is Thanks to Huang Zhong's recommendation, he became the deputy division commander, so he was naturally grateful.
Returning to the prefect's mansion, Chen Long ordered a large banquet to be held in honor of Huang Zhong. During the banquet, they exchanged glasses of wine and called each other younger brothers. They had long since lost their seniority, and they didn't know what to say about Huang Gai and Huang An. During the dinner, Huang An and Liu Xian were the oldest, and everyone called them brother, while Zhou Buji was the youngest. Everyone slapped their heads and pinched their faces at him, making Zhou Buji indignant. Seeing the warm atmosphere, Chen Long stood up and raised his glass and said: "Today's banquet is to build the army for me, Qinglong, and to win the promotion of General Han. After today, I also hope that all the generals will work tirelessly to train our army into an invincible lion. When we sweep across the world in the future, we will have a celebratory drink!" Everyone responded with a roar, raising their glasses and drinking it all in one gulp. Chen Long burst out with anger, threw the cup and chanted loudly: "When autumn comes on September 8th, I will bloom and kill hundreds of flowers. The incense array will penetrate Chang'an, and the city will be filled with golden armor!" Everyone cheered loudly and raised their hands one after another. With the cup in the distance, only Huang Zhong groaned slightly when he heard the anti-Han Dynasty in the poem.
After the drinks were over and the banquet was over, Huang Zhong wanted to visit Quanling County, so Chen Long asked Huang An to accompany him. The remaining people held a military meeting. Although this morning's troop count at the school grounds greatly boosted morale, problems such as backward equipment, insufficient combat effectiveness, small number of horses, and uneven personnel have also been highlighted. There is an urgent need to reorganize personnel and equipment. upgrade. Chen Long asked Liu Xiandao: "Second brother, how much can the current treasury spend to buy military horses?" Liu Xiandao said: "The inventory in the treasury has been completed. There are currently 5.16 million five baht, which is equivalent to about 220,000 taels of silver. There is another 700,000 taels of silver, totaling 290,000 taels. If there is no major natural disaster this year, each county can get about 700,000 taels of tax silver, but it is usually delivered after autumn. Therefore, these two taels can be used now. 190,000 taels, plus the cost of repairing the city walls, purchasing swords and guns, and recruiting soldiers. Most of the existing horse dealers are northern horses, which have more endurance but lack of speed. The price is about 10 taels per horse. Real Xiongnu horses are good. Horses cost two thousand and five baht, which is about eighty taels per horse, which is very expensive. To supplement the cavalry division's war horses, seven thousand horses require at least seventy thousand taels of silver."
After hearing this, Chen Long felt that one had two big heads, but he thought that people are really poor and have short ambitions, and horses are thin and hairy, so they might as well ask me to rob them. After thinking about it, he said to everyone: "In that case, we will first purchase 4,000 northern horses to supplement the combat units and reconnaissance regiments of the cavalry division. We will also purchase 200 good Xiongnu horses to supply the generals and my special forces." Liu Xian wrote them down one by one.
Chen Long called Huang Gai again and said: "Gongfu, you can go to the old man of the Sheng family and ask him to gather all the blacksmiths and carpenters in Lingling to make guns, knives, bows and arrows, and stirrups to make up the difference. Iron ore and wood, bother me. Yang Huai tried his best to transport and supply the blacksmith's needs. The guns are still based on the current wooden guns, and only the gun head can be made. The arrows can be made of bamboo and wood, and only the iron arrowheads can be made." Huang Gai and Yang Huai They each took their orders and took notes. Then they asked about the useful functions of stirrups, and Huang Gai explained them one by one.
Chen Long called Liu Min again and said: "I would like to ask General Liu to be responsible for making saddles, flags, and armor. They must be unified. If you have the pattern, bring it to me first. I need 6,000 sets of soft armor for the cavalry and three sets of leather armor for the infantry." If you need more than 10,000 sets of silver, ask Liu Xian to pay for it." Liu Min wrote it down one by one. He also called Liu Xian and said: "Brother Liu, you can be responsible for logistics, cutting off the old, young, sick and disabled, repairing the city wall, raising food and grass, and be sure to leave enough for half a year's campaign in case of unexpected events. Make a plan to recruit brave soldiers, and the silver is limited. Let’s make up for the lack of cavalry division first.” Liu Xian also wrote them down one by one.
After everything was done, Chen Long sighed: "Lingling is not very wealthy now, so we have to make this arrangement first. We still need to be diligent and thrifty, stimulate merchants, build water conservancy projects, increase revenue and reduce expenditures. If there is corruption, we will punish it severely. I will let you go later." Huang An has formulated military rules and regulations, and everyone, including me, must strictly implement them." The generals responded with a roar.
Zhou Busuo was nearby, and when he heard that he had nothing to do, he kept scratching his head and cheeks. Chen Long looked at his monkey look and said with a smile: "In war, weapons technology comes first. Whoever masters the most advanced weapons will naturally be invincible. I have a weapons atlas here, and I hope Military Advisor Zhou will research it." As he said this, , asked someone to take the paper and pen, draw a picture of a repeating crossbow according to the pattern displayed in the optical brain, and handed it to Zhou Buyi. Everyone gathered around the drawings and asked questions one after another. Chen Long answered them one by one. Everyone knew that this thing was very powerful and they all admired it. Chen Long came from a later generation and naturally took advantage of Zhuge's wisdom. However, the details of this serial crossbow were not clear. Originally, if Huang Yueying could be recruited, the problem would be solved naturally, but now Zhou Buyi can only do so reluctantly.
After finishing the arrangements one by one, Huang Gai suddenly said: "Brother, I saw that today's battle between you and Uncle Huang Zhong was remarkable. Huang Zhong relied on the Scarlet Blood Sword and fought you to a draw. There are countless magic weapons in this world, but Brother can Send people to search and purchase, and if you are lucky enough to get a magic weapon, then with my brother's martial arts, he will be invincible."
After hearing this, Chen Long's heart moved slightly, thinking of the green sinking gun in the underground waterfall of Tiankeng. How could I let such a magical weapon stay alone in that dark underground waterfall for thousands of years?
