The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"It's so good, it's so good..." The two were pleasantly surprised when they heard the words, and at the same time they understood why Liu Tao and others were able to form a militia casually.Even if Liu Tao belongs to the clan, it is not so easy for the prefect to approve it.

It turns out that there is also a descendant of a family in the militia, which is not surprising.Zhang Shiping even suspected that his father wrote back to tell him about this matter, hoping that he could take the opportunity to earn some military exploits so that he could become an official... But it is surprising why Liu Tao is the main one.

Taking a closer look at Liu Tao, he found that the heavenly court is full, but he is rich and noble, and his features are also beautiful, other than that, there is really nothing unusual...

"However, if you want to leave Zhuojun County, you need an official document from the prefect. In addition, the official edict from the imperial court has not been conveyed to Youzhou. I am afraid that the prefect will not be able to sign the document casually. It may take a day or two before we can go out." Liu Tao reminded.

"It's okay, we can wait for a few days, but in the meantime, I hope to stay at the school grounds of the militia. Is it possible?" Zhang Shiping quickly expressed his understanding, and then made a further request.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tao exchanged opinions with Zhang Fei and Lu Yan, and then replied: "Yes, but only on the periphery. Soldiers are not allowed to approach when they are practicing."

"Of course we know this!" Zhang Shiping responded immediately, feeling relieved.

Chapter 13 Guan Yu and Liu Bei

Since it was a formal offer of employment, Liu Tao was not polite, and proposed to pay the iron part as a deposit in advance.The reason is also very clear, that is, this road is dangerous, and it is necessary to build high-quality weapons and armor for soldiers in advance to deal with it.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang discussed it, finally nodded and agreed, and ordered people to share [-]% of the iron and iron and give it to Liu Tao.The latter smiled and asked Lu Yan to accept it, and then arranged for the craftsmen to process it quickly.

He had to whisper something in his ear: "Leave four hundred catties of the best quality iron, and make weapons for the three of you!"

Lu Yan was very surprised when he heard that the weapons of the three of them could not be used for more than four hundred catties!

But since Liu Tao said that, he naturally nodded in agreement, and then went down to make arrangements.It is said that the iron is transported back to the city and handed over to the blacksmith to make it, so there should be no delay in this matter.You can't be an ordinary blacksmith, you have to find a blacksmith who is responsible for making weapons under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant, otherwise it's just a waste of iron.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang also began to arrange the transfer of personnel and goods, and Zhang Fei was also responsible for sending the captives to the county seat for the county captain to handle.With all [-] yellow scarf thieves, the county lieutenant will definitely be very happy. Through this contact, Zhang Fei has successfully connected with the county lieutenant. After he leaves, he may be able to help take care of the Zhang family.

"Speaking of which, this is the strong man who proposed to let the caravan avoid entering Lousang Village?" Liu Tao stayed and found the red-faced man who was about to leave in the crowd almost immediately.

"Exactly!" The red-faced man did not deny it, nor did he evade it, and directly admitted it.

"Thanks to the strong man this time. If you hadn't proposed to fight a bloody road at the same time, I'm afraid the caravan might not be able to break through the encirclement and enter Lousang Village and wait until we come to help...By the way, do you know the strong man's name?" Liu Tao quickly thanked.

"Miangui's surname is Guan, Shan's name is Yu, and his surname is Yunchang. Some time ago, he came to Youzhou and encountered this caravan passing through Zhuo County. He thought he would go too, so he was hired as a guard to escort the caravan southward. Now that something happens, as a guard, I should contribute my own strength." Guan Yu replied casually, as if he didn't intend to take credit for it.

It really is Guan Erye!Under Liu Tao's smiling surface, he was very excited inside, and his heart beat faster.

"Guan Zhuang is so skillful that he can be used as a guard for others." Liu Tao said quickly, "Our militia has just been formed, and we are short of talents like strong men. I don't know if the strong men are willing to join the militia. I can make the decision. Hand over the shield soldiers to the commander of the strong men!"

Mainly because he just got fifty war horses, Liu Tao plans to form a cavalry force of fifty men.

Afterwards, the two were escorted to Zhongshan County, and there were hundreds of war horses. Considering the situation of one man with two horses and the expansion of reconnaissance cavalry, a troop of [-] cavalry could be formed.

Zhang Fei went to command the cavalry, and the sword and shield soldiers were free, and Guan Yu happened to be in command.In the future, we need to recruit another person to command the archers, and at the same time find a deputy for Lu Yan to help control the heavy soldiers. The food officer also needs to arrange...

Suddenly, I realized that my grass-roots team was indeed very short of manpower.

"You and I met for the first time today, and you don't even know who I am, so you entrust me with such a heavy responsibility?" Hearing Liu Tao's words, Guan Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed jokingly.

Okay, is this Erye Guan wanting to test himself?Liu Tao subconsciously wondered whether he should act aggressively, feeling a little out of control.

However, within the line of sight, another figure suddenly entered, a figure that was familiar but did not want to be seen here.There is no other way, the pretense can only be saved for the next time, and the battle must be resolved quickly!

"First of all, Brother Guan, as a guard, was able to calmly judge the situation when encountering enemy attacks, and did not abandon the caravan to escape. This is not only the potential of being a general, but also the place of righteousness. Killing and injuring more than 30 people and creating opportunities for the team to transfer is a manifestation of strength; in the end, brother Guan's body may be cultivated in strength, but his body is an inherent advantage!" Liu Tao immediately explained.

Originally, I planned to pretend to be a magic stick, saying that everyone's destiny is connected, and they are destined to become brothers with different surnames.The problem is that if someone is around, don't do that, so as not to be missed by him.

Guan Yu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't even know that he was so good, and he felt a little embarrassed when he was said so.

"Well... I still need to think about it..." Guan Yu pretended to be calm and replied, but his heart was already moved.

"This can be... that's right!" Liu Tao rarely met him, so naturally he would not let go easily, "There will be a celebration banquet tonight, Brother Guan is also a hero in this battle, why don't you come and have a drink with us? During the banquet , but there will be brewed by Jiuxian!"

"Gudong..." Guan Yu swallowed subconsciously, and he had heard all the way along how delicious the brewed wine was.However, the starting price is actually ten guan, which is really unacceptable to him. Now that he has the opportunity to taste it, he really doesn't want to give it up.

He could only cough lightly and said, "Well, I'll go..."

After all, Guan Yu, who has not made a fortune, is not so arrogant and reserved, and his material desire is still relatively strong.After becoming famous, it is probably because of taking care of his own reputation that he had to be aloof.

But Liu Tao feels that the current Guan Yu is more flesh and blood.

Arranging for Guan Yu to return to Zhuangzi with Zhang Fei, Liu Tao knew that there was someone he should face or face.Obviously this year, I tried to avoid contact with him as much as possible, but I didn't expect to meet him in the end.

"Brother, are you safe?" Liu Tao didn't intend to be passive, and at the same time, he didn't want to be called ungrateful.After all, clan brothers can ignore it, let alone others.If this rumor spreads, it will not be good for him.

"Sure enough, he is a brother of the clan. I didn't expect Deran to have formed a militia after a year of absence!" Liu Bei sighed. How naughty and ignorant.

It was even rumored a year ago that Liu Tao fell off his horse and went mad for a month.As a result, after a year, depending on the situation, he actually got in touch with the Patriarch of the Zhang family, not to mention, dragging Lu Yan, a junior, into trouble.Formed a militia group of thousands of people, and he was still the Liu Bei who weaved mats and sold shoes...

On the contrary, he got a bit of a "filial son" name, and at the same time, he has a very good relationship with those rangers in Zhuo County.If something goes wrong, call for friends, you can call in 30 to [-] people to help, but compared with Liu Tao, it's really not worth mentioning.

"I first proposed to be sworn brothers with my sworn brother, that is, Zhang's family, and then I heard that the Taiping Sect was causing chaos. I thought that the thieves might go north to Zhuojun, and there might even be yellow turban thieves in the local area to respond. So after the three of us discussed, we decided to Form a militia." Liu Tao laughed, "I don't know if the clan brother is interested, but if you join, I will arrange a position for you?"

But in my heart I was saying: Don't come!Do not come!Do not come! ! !

If someone else dared to say that, Liu Bei could really go in if he had the cheek to do so, only Liu Deran's invitation would not work!

Over the past few years, my uncle has been praising him for how good he is, and Liu Tao's poor performance has disappointed him.If in the end, I have to join this 'worse' clan brother, my self-esteem can't accept it!

"Thanks to the concern of my brother, Bei still has family members to take care of, so it's really not easy to join the army..." Liu Bei immediately replied with a smile.

Chapter 14 When the water is clear, there will be no fish

When Liu Bei said that, Liu Tao was a little upset. This guy used "taking care of his family" as an excuse not to join the army.In fact, it reminded him: "Is there no family member in your family who needs to be taken care of? Are you willing to leave them behind and join the army?!"

Maybe he didn't mean it that way, but Liu Tao would always speculate Liu Bei's intentions with malice.

"So, Deran can't force it." Liu Tao cupped his hands at him, then turned and left.

Liu Bei originally thought that he would persuade him further, but he didn't expect to give up so quickly. Deep down, he felt a little melancholy.Reason told him that if he missed this opportunity, it might be even more difficult to develop in the future.

After bidding farewell to Liu Bei, Liu Tao quickly returned to Zhuangzi. There was one more thing that he forgot to tell Lu Yan. He had to set aside part of the iron for making horseshoes. If conditions allowed, he had to make stirrups and saddles.

Let’s say he is riding this horse. The saddle is a piece of leather with a rope attached to the horse’s back, with knots hanging on both sides as stirrups. Of course, he can get on the horse without this. The body’s muscle memory is already very familiar with horse riding. At the same time, a layer of calluses appeared on the inner thigh.

What is speechless is that the legs are a bit 'O', but fortunately, you can't see it when you wear long robes. For this reason, Liu Tao complained more than once: No wonder the gentry of this era like to wear long robes...

"Eh? Build new utensils? No problem is no problem, but what Deran wants to build involves cobblers and carpenters, and it may not be completed in five days... and there is..." Lu Yan took Liu Tao and handed it over Drawings, brows frowned.

Pointing to the drawing of the horseshoe, he continued: "The shape is easy to talk about, but you said that you need to use nails to nail it to the horseshoe. Is it okay? The horse will not be injured because of this, and it will not be easy to move?"

"That's no problem. The part of the horseshoe is actually similar to our nails, without flesh and blood. Besides, no matter what the metal is, it is more wear-resistant than a pure horseshoe!" Liu Tao replied.

"This is actually..." Lu Yan is not ignorant of the army. Lu Zhi also mentioned that before sending troops to attack the Huns, [-] horses fought over, and [-] were abolished in a war, most of which were worn out by the horseshoes. .

The wounded war horse has no way to continue to serve as a war horse, so it can only be sent back to be used as a work horse or a poor horse.Those that are really unusable can only be killed for meat, and the leather is also used to sew leather armor.

As for their militia, regardless of the hundreds of war horses they paid for, it is straightforward to say that there are currently more than 70 war horses. If they are fully used, it is estimated that they will have to retire in one or two years.Considering the parts damaged during the war, even this time will be shorter.
