Like clouds and flowing water, the wooden stakes as thick as a bowl broke with a sound.
"Have you ever tried armor?"
A knife that can cut through wooden piles is considered a good knife, but Yuan Shu still wants to test the limits of this knife.
"This one has never been tested."
Master Zhou's expression changed. Putting aside whether he had enough time or not, it was not up to him as a craftsman to decide if he really wanted to try the armor.
"Higher armor."
He couldn't wait any longer.
"promise."
One of the two craftsmen was carrying armor, and the other was carrying a wooden figure.
Quickly putting the armor on the wooden figure, Yuan Shu slowly walked to the wooden figure with a knife.
"open."
With a loud shout, Yuan Shu held the knife in both arms and slashed with all his strength.
"Click."
It still felt like flowing clouds and flowing water. Even the armored wooden figure couldn't resist it, and even the armor was directly cut in two.
"Good knife."
There is no doubt about the ability of this sword to cut through armor with one strike. It is definitely a top-notch sword, probably on par with the legendary Pu Yuan sword.
"Please also give me your name, my lord."
"Please give me your name, sir."
Yuan Shu said it was a good sword, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since this sword was made by the two of you, let me each give you two names. Your name is Zheng Hun, and Master Zhou's name is Zhou Yu. Let this sword be called the Hun Yu Dao."
Yuan Shu thought for a moment and decided to name the sword after the two of them.
"Thank you, Lord, for the name."
Master Zhou knelt directly on the ground.
"Thank you, Lord, for the name."
Zheng Hun also knelt on one knee and called Yuan Shu his lord.
This sword is destined to be famous throughout the ages, but now Yuan Shu has named the sword after them. How can such a master not be worshiped now?
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for subduing the master craftsman Zheng Hun, and will reward you with a special lottery opportunity."
Yuan Shu also smiled when he heard the system prompt, knowing that you, Zheng Hun, cannot escape from my grasp.
"Okay, can you tell me how this knife was made?"
People have been accepted and names have been given. Now he wants to know how his craftsmen did this.
"Lord, thanks to your tips, we found all the animal urine and grease we could find. After trying for several days, we found that the knife quenched with horse urine and lard liquid is neither tough nor rigid.
They are all the best, and of course this requires the necessary step of tempering.”
Zheng Hun directly whispered his little trick to Yuan Shu.
"Master Zhou, now that the steel filling method has been completed, what I need is not just a siege crossbow. First, I want a pure jade sword. Secondly, I want armor. The more refined the better. Third, I will draw two pictures. You can put me
Research the things you want to do thoroughly and then make them for me. The more, the better.”
Now that there is a steel filling method and the gap in the steel has become smaller, Yuan Shu will have to open his mouth as wide as possible.
“…”
Yuan Shu's words directly made Master Zhou's face drop. If he wanted so many things, wouldn't he be risking his own life?
"My lord, although we have mastered the steel filling method, we are only a rough master. The amount of steel produced is not as much as expected. If we want to increase the output, we still need to continue experimenting. Fortunately, the Hunyu Sword is okay, but I really can't do anything about the armor. That time-consuming and consuming
Power cannot be achieved in one fell swoop. Again, I don’t know what your blueprint is, so I ask your lord’s forgiveness.”
After thinking about it for a while, Master Zhou felt that he could only apologize to Yuan Shu.
"It's time to recruit people. The salary can be improved. From now on, I will set aside a special area to make new iron-making furnaces and move all the blacksmith shops there. It will be Jizhou's top secret. Anyone who reveals it will
Kill without mercy, and what I want you to do is actually very simple, you and Wen Gong come with me."
After saying this, Yuan Shu led the two of them to an uninhabited corner, with Dian Wei guarding them. Then he took a branch and started drawing on the ground.
"Lord, what is this?"
The two of them stared at the specious patterns painted by Yuan Shu, somewhat confused.
"This is a horseshoe, nailed under the horse's shoe, which can reduce the damage of the horse.
This is a repeating crossbow. As the name suggests, it is a crossbow machine that can fire continuously. Here is the crossbow box, and here is the connecting rod for winding. To wind up, you only need to push the connecting rod to let the crossbow arrows in the box fall into the arrow trough, and then
Fire, then push, that's it."
"My lord, horseshoes are easy to talk about, but can we talk about this repeating crossbow in detail?"
Master Zhou didn't understand, but Zheng Hun stared at Yuan Shu with bright eyes.
"It's up to you to do this. I only know so much."
Yuan Shu shook his head. In fact, he only knew the working principle of the Liannu, so he could only give a rough idea.
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, there was a trace of confusion in Zheng Hun's eyes, but he quickly squatted on the ground and looked at the sketch drawn by Yuan Shu, not knowing what to think.
"Lord, I want to give it a try."
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Hun raised his head and looked at Yuan Shu.
"Master Zhou, whatever Mr. Wen wants, please satisfy him. This is also our top secret, so I don't want the fourth person to know."
"My subordinate understands."
Yuan Shu nodded and left with Dian Wei. True knowledge comes from practice, and this thing must be given to professionals.
As soon as Yuan Shu's order came out, the entire Jizhou was moved. Gao Lan and Ju Yi, who were far away in Youzhou, led their troops south to Xindu. Yan Liang and Wenchou from Pingyuan County stayed put for the time being. They had to wait for Xu Huang to become a naturalized man before they could leave.
Changshan County is responsible for allocating grain, fodder, baggage, and supporting facilities, because Yuan Shu had set up a base there earlier in order to ensure smooth deployment when dispatching troops.
Cao Cao and his personal guards finally left the borders of Jizhou and arrived at his own Dongjun. The air smelled fresh when they arrived here.
"Finally back, let's go."
Without saying anything else, Cao Cao spurred his horse and started galloping towards his headquarters.
After receiving the news from Cao Cao, Cao Ren immediately sent people to Jibei Kingdom to report the news to Xun Yu.
Liu Bei was different from Cao Cao. Although he set out later than Cao Cao, because he followed the official path uprightly, he arrived at Dongping Kingdom one day earlier than Cao Cao.
Seeing Liu Bei suddenly appearing, Cheng Yu was completely stunned.
"Lord?"
"Zhongde, are you surprised?"
Seeing Cheng Yu's look, Liu Bei chuckled.
"Cheng Yu is incompetent and has put my lord in danger. Please punish me."
As he talked, Cheng Yu almost shed tears. The so-called master humiliated his ministers to death. Liu Bei was in deep danger in Jizhou and he could only do nothing here. He prayed to the sky. He was really frustrated.
"Zhongde, what are you talking about? I was in Jizhou and Yuan Shijun did not make things difficult for me."
Looking at Cheng Yu's appearance, Liu Bei looked puzzled.
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Cheng Yu was confused. He shouldn't have. Could it be that he mistakenly blamed Yuan Shu? There must be something going on.
"Yuan Shu did not embarrass my lord? Did anything unusual happen to you in Xindu?"
