The long knife is a bit like the Yanyue Knife, and also a bit like the Mo Dao of later generations. It weighs sixty-six pounds.
Wang Ding is still having a hard time playing now. Using this sword to fight with people is fine if it is used against ordinary soldiers. The weight is here, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist.
But when encountering generals like Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, Wang Ding would not be able to survive. After ten rounds at most, he would be exhausted. Even if he was not defeated, Wang Ding might not even be able to hold the sword in his hand. p>
But this is only temporary.
Wang Ding has already discovered that his body recovery speed is much faster than that of other people.
Regardless of whether he is injured, he recovers faster than others. After being exhausted from training, others need an hour to recover, but he recovers in half an hour.
Last night he fought with Diao Chan for 300 rounds, and when he woke up this morning, he was still as powerful as a tiger.
Perhaps Wang Ding’s original body is endowed with extraordinary talents.
It may also be the change caused by the addition of an extra soul to this body. In short, Wang Ding is very satisfied and does not have to worry about back pain or lack of energy.
He likes this body full of yang and energy.
Zhang Yu and Chen Shan, as well as the four hundred personal guards Wang Ding first recruited, are now practicing Modao.
Everyone is also equipped with a war horse, and their riding skills are also being trained.
The Yan Ling Dao you practiced before cannot be dropped.
In the future, they will be responsible for Wang Ding's safety. They will use the Yanling Sword in peacetime and the Mo Sword on the battlefield.
Wang Ding also understood that long weapons should still be used on the battlefield, after all, an inch longer is an inch stronger.
Especially when it comes to fighting on the battlefield, there aren't many fancy techniques. Everything is based on the most effective attack method, and the one who strikes first will win.
Outside Chang'an City, people have resumed farming.
Fortunately, Li Jue and Guo Si had the idea of surrender before and did not destroy the farmland outside the city. Those unripe crops are still alive and strong under the careful care of the people.
It’s just that it hasn’t rained near Chang’an for more than a month.
If the drought continues, this year's autumn harvest may be nothing.
Only then did Wang Ding realize that in the late Han Dynasty, in addition to military and man-made disasters, there were also natural disasters.
A severe drought is enough to destroy countless people's homes and starve to death.
After Wang Ding learned about the situation outside the city, he asked Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to lead the soldiers out of the city to dig canals for the people and divert water for irrigation, making sure that the crops in the fields would not die from drought.
The crops outside the city are not only related to the life and death of the people, but also closely related to Wang Ding's army. Whether the army's food is enough depends on how much food and grass can be harvested in the autumn harvest.
Some soldiers were not willing to dig ditches, but with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun around, even if they didn't want to, they still had to pick up hoes and shovels and go to work in the fields under the scorching sun.
Wang Ding doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with letting his soldiers do this.
Isn't the purpose of the army to protect the people? When enemies come, they pick up swords and kill them. When encountering floods and droughts, they must protect the people and use their flesh and blood to defeat natural disasters.
Perhaps soldiers, common people, and even the government in this era did not have this concept. In their eyes, soldiers were used to fight.
Wang will slowly change their minds.
With the help of tens of thousands of soldiers, dozens of miles of canals were opened in just a few days.
When the common people saw that the soldiers were like this, those who had the strength also threw off their arms and worked with the soldiers.
Some women and children carried water and dry food and gave it to the civilians and soldiers in need as they walked.
The original troubles and the original misery turned into a warm smile on my face at this moment.
They are no longer waiting to die. They have people to take care of them and help them. They will no longer be deprived of food.
Wang Ding knows very well that in this agricultural era, people and land are the most important.
If people's hearts are attached to them, why worry about failing to accomplish great things.
Why are so many people willing to follow Liu Bei? Liu Bei is just doing it in the name of benevolence and righteousness.
But Liu Bei does not necessarily have many people under his rule, and the taxes he should collect will not be less.
Even in the later period, the Shu Han Dynasty collected higher taxes than Cao Wei in order to be able to fight with Cao Wei.
That is to say, the fertile wilderness of Western Shu is thousands of miles away, and it is the land of Tianfu, so it can supply the food and grass for the three armies of Shu.
Wang Ding led his soldiers to personally dig canals and divert water, and he also earned a lot of fame in Chang'an City.
In addition to the previous deeds of cutting off Dong Zhuo's head with his own hands, in just a short period of time, the people of Sanfu Land had already regarded Wang Ding as the Ming Lord.
Let them finally have hope for life.
With Wang Ding in Chang'an, they may be able to live and work in peace and contentment in the future.
Wang Ding was not only recognized by the people of Chang'an, but also many ministers in the court recognized Wang Ding after seeing Wang Ding's deeds.
Every day, ministers from the court came to visit Wang Ding. However, Wang Ding's focus was still on the military. He spent most of his day with the soldiers in the army.
He didn't care about the affairs in the court. But Wang Ding also knew what happened.
Wang Ding will do what he can do. Then with his little bit of prophecy, he will slowly change this big man and the whole world.
Among the ministers in the court, the one Wang Ding had the most contact with was Jia Xu.
Li Jue and Guo Si have been killed by him, and Jia Xu is not running away to join Duan Xuan. Now he is serving as his regular attendant.
Wang Ding went to find Jia Xu. He mainly wanted to ask Jia Xu what he should do next if he occupied Chang'an now.
It's just that Jia Xu pretends to be confused every time and always fights with Wang Ding.
What an old fox.
Wang Ding has no choice. No matter whether he is expanding eastward or westward, Wang Ding has no confidence.
I have no choice but to stay in Guanzhong and train the soldiers of the three armies well.
In addition, Wang Ding would occasionally visit Cai Yong.
Cai Yong now basically knows everything about Wang Ding, but Wang Ding's level is limited and he cannot discuss literature and music with Cai Yong.
But one time, Wang Ding accidentally sang a few lyrics of Farewell My Concubine, which greatly interested Cai Yong. He insisted on dragging Wang Ding and asked Wang Ding to write down the lyrics.
Although the lyrics are simple, Cai Yong, who is proficient in music, likes this singing method very much.
The melodies he made before were more than elegant, but they were suitable for scholars like them.
Although Wang Dinghou's voice is not very nice, Cai Yong can also hear it. This sound is very suitable for the public. Even traffickers and lackeys can entertain themselves after listening to it several times.
Wang Ding likes to listen to songs, but he is tone deaf. The Farewell My Concubine he sang is completely different from what Cai Yong sang.
The tone is somewhat different from that of later generations, but it is very suitable for today's big men.
After listening to Cai Yong's song Farewell My Concubine, Wang Ding pestered Cai Yong in turn and asked Cai Yong to teach him.
As a condition, Wang Ding promised Cai Yong to give him some songs similar to Farewell My Concubine.
Wang Ding almost didn't know. Anyway, he just wrote down the parts he remembered that he liked to listen to before, and yelled them again with his tone-deaf throat.
After Cai Yong listened to it once, his favorite song was also the song "Serving the Country with Loyalty" sung by Wang Ding.
It's just that the tunes Wang Ding sang were all gone to the horizon, so Cai Yong had to make some modifications in Wang Ding's roaring test singing method.
Then Zhang Yu and Chen Shan had one more task every day.
After training every day, I come to Cai Mansion to learn how to serve the country with loyalty and loyalty from Cai Yong. After I return, I will teach the four hundred personal guards.
Wang Ding planned to use this song of loyal service to the country as their military song.
