Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 450 The Sharp Steel Knife
The production of the steel knife is naturally a secret, and Li Yun will arrange a special person to be responsible for the special part of the stone.

That part of the stone will be in charge of the people from the East Palace, and the people from the Manufacturing Bureau can forge it according to the previous procedures.

He would even break those special stones to prevent others from easily understanding what they were.

When Li Er heard Li Yun's plan, he clapped his hands again and again, and then said that Li Yun can let it go, as long as he likes, he can do whatever he wants, and money is not a problem.

Li Er actually said that money is not a problem, which shows that Li Er attaches great importance to steel knives.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yun led Li Er's order to the manufacturing bureau, and then said that on his side, there was a special stone material that could make the sword stronger.

This kind of knife is called a steel knife.

The craftsmen don't care, it doesn't affect their money anyway, so everyone has no objections.

So it was different from before, there was a group of people from the Eastern Palace in the Manufacturing Bureau.

These people brought special stone materials. They supervised each other and did not chat with the people in the manufacturing bureau. They just added special stone materials after the handyman put the iron materials into the boiler.

Both Zhou Jinming and Yu Tian knew that this was what Li Yun meant, but Li Yun didn't explain it, so they couldn't ask more questions.

Xie Shuying also didn't know, she was a little curious, but knowing Li Yun's true identity, she didn't dare to communicate with Li Yun like before.

……

Just when the weather was getting colder and the employees of the Manufacturing Bureau were seriously forging.

There was a team heading towards Chang'an. There were nearly a hundred people in this team. Except for a few coachmen, everyone else was strong and strong.

Looking at their eyes, one could tell that these people were probably professional soldiers.

Their clothes are very ordinary, not the style of the Central Plains, nor the style of the grasslands, but somewhat like the clothes of the Tubo people.

These people are party members from the border between Tubo and Datang.

The Dangxiang people come from the Qiang people, and they have actually existed for a long time.

During the Jin Dynasty, it slowly took shape in the Tuyuhun area of ​​Tubo.

When it came to Datang, party members mainly gathered in Tubo, Tuyuhun, and the northwest of Datang.

Because they were split into three parts, the already weak nation became even weaker now.

However, this nation is still very tough, and the people are brave and good at fighting.

The Tuyuhun executives liked the Dangxiang soldiers very much, and they would go to the Dangxiang tribe to arrest young adults every year.

Because the party members have no culture and cannot exert influence in the upper echelons of Tubo and Tuyuhun, so even if they are all brave, they are destined to fight at the bottom.

These party members are naturally unwilling to live such a life.

Therefore, many current Dangxiang people have fled to the border of Tuyuhun and Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, and established some Dangxiang tribes in that vacuum zone.

As time went by, there were 4 to [-] party members in that area.

It is more or less a force.

However, living in poor mountains and rough waters, the life of party members is getting more and more difficult, but the population increase forces them to work hard to find a better site.

However, the surrounding Tang, Tubo, and Tuyuhun, no matter who they are, are not existences they can afford.

Under such circumstances, the party members are very helpless, they can only choose to take refuge in one force.

The Dangxiang tribe has a special smelting technology, which can make very good scimitars.

Their machetes are very sharp.

However, the output is not high, and the output is about [-] a month.

This time the party members brought a thousand refined scimitars, and they went to Datang in the hope that Datang would give them a piece of land.

Their leader is Tuobaxiang.

This gentleman is 33 years old this year, and he is the most powerful warrior of the Tuoba clan in the Dangxiang tribe.

Although he is tall and brave, he is not a reckless man. On the contrary, he is good at calculating, so he became the envoy of the Dangxiang tribe this time.

At this time, Tuoba Xiang was riding a tall black horse, and before arriving at Chang'an City, his brows were tightly wrinkled.

A young man next to him was tall and tall, with only a rag on his upper body, revealing explosive black muscles. He called Xiang Lilong,

The Xiangli Department is also a tribe in the party, and it can be regarded as the running dog of the Tuoba Department.

Xiang Lilong followed Tuoba Xiang since he was a child, and the two have a very good relationship.

At this time, he saw Tuoba Xiang with a gloomy face, and asked puzzledly, "My lord, what's the matter with you?"

Tuoba pointed to the caravans and pedestrians traveling on the official road, and said in a low voice: "The Tang Dynasty is so prosperous and prosperous, and their strength is much stronger than we imagined."

"It is said that Datang is going to fight Dong Tujue, but Dong Tujue may not be his opponent."

This time they did not choose Tubo and Tuyuhun, but chose Datang, which actually had a purpose.

They plan to exchange a piece of land from Datang with a thousand sharp scimitars and certain conditions, so that they can recuperate.

At the same time, they felt that Datang would probably lose in a war with Dongtujue this year, and that Datang would be weak at that time, and they might have a chance to stand on their own.

At this time, the Dangxiang was not the Xixia in the later Song Dynasty, so naturally it did not have the idea of ​​​​sweeping the world and aspiring to the Central Plains.

But as a nation that has been squeezed out by several major forces, they attach great importance to their own right to survival, so they hope to see if they can take advantage of the opportunity to expand their strength when Datang's strength weakens.

But now seeing how the officialdom is so prosperous, Tuobaxiang found that Datang was much stronger than he imagined.

For a while, I was a little worried about gains and losses.

Xiang Lilong naturally knew what the goal of the Dangxiang tribe was, but he didn't have so many thoughts about Datang.

"My lord, the countries in the Western Regions are also very prosperous. In some countries, all the people are engaged in business, and all of them are very rich."

"But they are not powerful. Some countries don't even have [-] troops."

"Having money does not mean strength. The soldiers of our party are the strongest in the world."

Xiang Lilong's words basically represent the thoughts of young people in the party. They actually look down on the Tang people and feel that the Tang people are too weak.

Tuoba Xiang glanced at his entourage, smiled, and didn't answer.

"My lord, don't worry, our scimitar is so sharp, the Tang people will definitely like it. When we ask for the city, we will have our own territory, and we don't have to worry about the Tang people in the future."

"The Great Tang has a vast land and abundant resources. Who knows if the Great Tang has any sharper and stronger weapons than the scimitar. It's hard to say."

Lilong was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "We have seen the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty get big knives, they are all very common weapons, and there is no comparison with our scimitars."

Before they came, they also compared Datang's broadsword and

Tuoba Xiang nodded slightly, feeling a little more confident in his trip to Tang Dynasty this time.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from behind, and a group of cavalry rushed over. They looked serious, and they were not easy to provoke.
