The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Through the grain trade, Lu Bu harvested a large amount of fine iron. On this day, he came to Ou Cheng with a few drawings. This was a masterpiece that he spent several days on. Of course, it was inspired by the books he read in later generations.

Lu Bu first took out a drawing of a pair of armors and said to Ou Cheng, "Now we need to build ten thousand pairs of armors like this. The breastplate is shiny, the whole is plate type, and the weight is lighter than the armors made before. They are called Mingguang Armors." .”

Ou Cheng took the drawings and nodded, "It can be completed within half a year."

Lu Bu took out two more drawings. Different from the Mingguang Armor, the armors on these two drawings were for war horses. Seeing that Ou Cheng was a little surprised, Lu Bu said, "Twenty thousand pairs of these need to be made. These are to protect the horses' heads." The face curtain, this is the chicken neck that protects the horse's neck, this is the chest that protects the horse's chest, this is the horse body armor that protects the horse's body, this is the back that protects the horse's buttocks, and the one on this drawing is parasitic, which is To protect the cavalry’s back.”

After listening to Lu Bu's introduction, Ou Cheng was a little surprised. He had never seen such a drawing. Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong only had a thin layer of armor on the surface of the horse's body, but Lu Bu meant to put a heavy layer of armor on the horse's body. Armor and protective equipment are also something that the cavalry of previous dynasties did not have.

Ou Cheng admired him very much, "My lord is truly a god! These drawings cannot be drawn by anyone in this world. If my lord engages in the blacksmith industry, he will definitely surpass my ancestor Ou Yezi."

Lu Bu smiled and thought to himself: Of course this was not drawn by someone at that time. This was the equipment of the Xuanjia Army of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty five hundred years later. However, Lu Bu still said to Ou Cheng calmly, "I only know how to draw blueprints. As for building them into shape, I need your skillful hands. How long will it take to build these equipment?"

Ou Cheng thought for a while, "It will take a year, but it will cost about 100,000 kilograms of fine iron. I wonder if my lord can provide it?"

Lu Bu replied firmly, "Okay, you just build it, and I will give you another 100,000 copper coins as payment for building the armaments this time."

Ou Cheng quickly knelt down to thank him. One hundred thousand copper coins was not a small amount. At that time, it was a county's entire year's income.

After settling some details with Ou, Lu Bu rushed to the Wuyuan military camp non-stop. During this period, he sent a letter to the counties in Bingzhou and Youzhou, asking all the cavalry to gather with Wuyuan within a month, including the newly established The Mongolian County Taishi Ci tribe only left 10,000 cavalry to garrison the grasslands, and the rest of the cavalry rushed to Wuyuan. Lu Bu was about to make a big move.

Lu Bu has not returned to Wuyuan for several years, and everything is still so familiar. Now even the children who have just learned to speak are playing the game of killing Hu people. It seems that the killing of Hu people has penetrated into the hearts of everyone in Bingzhou. Entering the familiar military camp, he saw Zhang Liao practicing cavalry. This time he was practicing the Wild Geese Formation, which is the most commonly used formation by the Han cavalry. Lu Bu had previously required every general to not only be literate, but also understand the art of war and formations. Zhang Liao is worthy of being a general. It only took him a few months to master the art of war and battle formations.

"Wenyuan, I haven't seen you for many years, you have become tougher." Lu Bu walked towards Zhang Liao.

See Lu Bu arriving. Zhang Liao knelt down quickly and said, "Greetings to my lord. Over the years, Liao has not dared to slack off. Following my lord's orders, he has carried out raids on the Xianbei tribe from time to time. These soldiers who were soldiers back then are also veterans of hundreds of battles."

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, helped Zhang Liao up, and said to him, "Wenyuan, there is still an important task for you now. I have ordered all the cavalry from the two states to gather in Wuyuan, a total of 110,000 people. I want You select 10,000 of them and form a new army.”

Zhang Liao asked, "I wonder what the selection conditions are for the army that my lord wants? Are all the Wolf Cavalry battalions selected?"

Lu Bu replied, "The wolf cavalry battalion must also participate in the selection, and they are all treated equally. This time the army must not only be good at riding and shooting, but also have the physical strength to fight after running for hundreds of miles. All the horses will also wear armor. I have asked Ou Cheng to do this, and it can be achieved in one year. I will not launch a new war within this year. You have to use this time to select carefully. This new army is called the Xuanjia Army, and you are their As the sole commander of the cavalry, today I will grant you the position of Colonel Zhechong. This is a military symbol. All our cavalry, even the captain of cavalry, must obey your orders."

Zhang Liao was very excited. Lu Bu trusted him so much. How dare he not sacrifice his life? He immediately knelt down and said, "I will live up to my lord's trust. I will train a black armor army for my lord within a year."

Lu Bu helped Zhang Liao up and said, "In the army from now on, you should not bow down or bow down. Killing more barbarians is the greatest respect for me. When the Xuanjia Army is formed, I want you to lead them to defeat Xianbei."

Zhang Liao clasped his hands and said, "General, I will obey your order!"

Lu Bu also left Huang Zhong, Jiang Qi, and Cheng Lian as Zhang Liao's lieutenants to accompany him in selecting and training the Xuanjia Army. He originally wanted to stay in Wuyuan for a while, but the letter he received from Fei Ge forced him to leave early because something happened to Chen Gong.
