Never thought I would become the emperor

Chapter 73 The Smelter

Lu Bu, who was riding on a red rabbit horse, watched these men's training seriously, turned his head and asked Gao Shun with a smile, "Ziyi, how do you think they are doing?"

Gao Shun nodded, looking at the group of men sweating profusely, his eyes gleamed, and said: "The practice is very good. From their movements, it is not difficult to see that they have a solid foundation. As long as they train more, they will Can become a group of elite soldiers."

Hearing Gao Shun's words, the accompanying soldiers all looked curiously at the hard-trained man on the battlefield. They wanted to see what the elite soldiers that General Gao Shun said looked like.

Lu Bu patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "If you want these soldiers, you can send someone here to recruit them tomorrow morning."

Seeing his small thoughts, Gao Shun smiled awkwardly and said, "My lord, this."

Lu Bu stopped smiling and said seriously: "Ziyi, I know you are eager to train an elite army yourself. You have been dreaming about it for nine years, from Bingzhou to Luoyang, and from Dingyuan to Dingyuan." I have been looking forward to Lu Bu. Today just happens to have such an opportunity, and I also give this opportunity to you, don't let me down."

Hearing Lu Bu's heavy words, Gao Shun's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he nodded heavily.

Lu Bu continued: "You just prepare an army of more than a thousand people for me. You don't have to worry about food, grass and ordnance. The most important thing for you is to train the army for me so that in the future, there will be no new ones." Weapons, I am willing to use them on the soldiers under your hands."

"New weapons?"

Gao Shun asked suspiciously.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "You will know this from now on."

Lu Bu didn't say anything, and Gao Shun didn't dare to force him, but his eyes were a little dim, and then he raised his head and asked, "Then please give the army a name, my lord."

Lu Bu was taken aback at first, and then said decisively: "Let him fall into the camp!"

"Catch camp?"

Gao Shun murmured, his complexion began to change slightly.

"Yes, let him fall into the camp, the ambition to fall into the camp, there is death but not life!"

Lu Bu raised his head to look at the sky, and the powerful voice came to Gao Shun's ear.

Gao Shun's body shook violently. Hearing what Lu Bu said, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "The final general will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations!"

The army left the town and continued to move forward. Along the way, they saw that the once desolate outer suburbs of Luoyang City had become bustling and bustling. They were all amazed and regarded Lu Bu as a god-like existence in their hearts.

Naturally, Lu Bu didn't know that he had another group of little fans. At this time, he was led by a strong man to a huge smelting plant.

After walking more than ten meters to the huge factory, the strong man suddenly stopped and listened carefully to the sound coming from the distance.

Jingle, Jingle, Jingle
The sound of iron clashing kept coming, and I saw a big hammer sign hanging on the smelter in front of me, as well as the tall and somewhat rough house, through the rough window paper, I could still see the heat inside. of molten iron.

"My lord, this is it."

The strong man turned around, a smile appeared on his simple and honest face, and he clasped his thick arms and said.

"What's in here?"

Before Lu Bu could speak, Gao Shun from behind suddenly said curiously. A series of new things that appeared today made his mind a little confused.

He vaguely remembered that he had just wandered here two days ago, it was obviously a wilderness, why did a huge factory suddenly appear now?

And here you can also see a steady stream of people walking around on the mountain. They all carry baskets on their backs and hold manuscripts and hoes in their hands. They look like they are mining something on the mountain.

The burly man touched his head and chuckled: "General, this is the new smeltery built by the Lord, and the one on the mountain is a mine."

"Smelters? Mines?"

Hearing these two words, Gao Shun's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Bu in disbelief.

However, Lu Bu's face was still so indifferent, and he spit out a few words lightly in his drunken fist: "Go in and have a look."

After speaking, he immediately got off the horse, handed the red rabbit horse's whip to the left and right, and walked forward alone.

Seeing this scene, Gao Shun hurriedly followed, and ordered the accompanying soldiers to wait in place.

As we got closer to the smelting plant, the crisp knocking sound became clearer.And the smelting plant seems to be doing a very busy business. There are many people passing by the gate. Some are transporting ore from the mountains to make it here, and some are residents of nearby towns who come here to join in the fun.

Seeing Lu Bu and Gao Shun in armor, the people on both sides bent down one after another, and said respectfully, "I have seen the general."

Lu Bu gestured towards them slightly, and then opened the huge piece of kraft paper at the entrance of the smelting plant. A surging heat wave hit his face, as if he suddenly fell into a hot spring.

When the strong man saw this scene, he hurried over and said, "Damn my subordinate, I didn't remind my lord."

Seeing the guilty look on the strong man's face, Lu Bu suddenly felt a little speechless. I am a living person, do I need to be reminded of such trivial matters?

"It's okay, you go first, the two of us will check it out on our own."

Lu Bu said lightly, and then walked inside against the oncoming heat wave.

Looking at the billowing heat, the strong man was obviously a little worried, but when he saw Gao Shun escorting Lu Bu inside, he didn't say anything more, but stood at the door and waited.

As soon as you walk in, you will see a vast hall. There are various ores in the hall, including the most common limestone and marble, and some various ores.For example, iron ore, gold mine, copper mine, etc., are dazzling and varied.

On the right side of the hall, there are all kinds of forged weapons hanging, including a complete armor, an iron sword, an iron bow, and of course some farm tools.

"Son, it's very hot in here, you need to buy something outside."

Before they had taken more than two steps, an old voice called out to Lu Bu and Gao Shun.

I saw an old man with gray hair lowering his head, holding a manuscript and beating a blue stone. The old voice just now came from him.

The old man looked about 80 or [-] years old. Even if you search all over the world, you can't find one or two old people like this, let alone quarrying materials that can prove to be as vigorous as Lao Tzu in front of you.

According to his age, it is not too much to call Lu Bu and Gao Shun children.

Gao Shun is still a person who knows etiquette, and said respectfully: "Mr., you misunderstood."
