The lady smiled and said: "Just because he is the weakest, that's why I support him. There are many supporters around the other three young masters. In the past, we were just the icing on the cake. It was difficult to get enough attention, and naturally we would not receive enough rewards.

.

But this Fourth Young Master is different. He needs help the most right now. Only by supporting him at this time can we gain the most important status with him."

Seeing Caifeng still showing a worried expression, he smiled slightly and said: "I know what you are worried about. Since it is an investment, it may fail. However, the Fourth Young Master has shown his value, I think our investment will not

In vain.

I’ll wait and see what the outcome will be.”

Zhang Lang and Zhang He returned to the mansion with a huge amount of money, and immediately began to recruit soldiers and horses, and at the same time tried their best to purchase iron materials.

A few days later, Madam sent more than a hundred blacksmiths to Zhang Lang as promised. Zhang Lang immediately incorporated them into his arsenal, put Yuan Fu in charge, and began to build various blacksmiths according to the drawings drawn by him and Zhang He.

Armor ordnance.

Designed by Zhang Lang, these weapons and armors are far ahead of this era.

For example, the armor, although it is still the pierced armor that existed in this era, uses the cold forging technology that was only available in the Song Dynasty, and its defensive capabilities will be greatly improved under the same weight.

In fact, according to Zhang Lang's original intention, he wanted to create the plate armor that only appeared in the late Middle Ages in one step. However, after communicating with the blacksmiths, he felt that although it could be manufactured under the current situation, it would be very time-consuming and labor-intensive, so he gave up temporarily.

This thought.

In addition to armor, there are also weapons. What Zhang Lang designed for his Yingyang Army was the Mo Dao, which only appeared in the Tang Dynasty. It can kill people from above and horses from below. The sword penetrates like a wall and both men and horses are torn apart! This is the power of Mo Dao.

In addition to these equipment, Zhang Lang also designed a similar crossbow based on the special crossbow once used by the special forces. In other words, a pulley mechanism was added to the current crossbow to facilitate winding.

At the same time, the butt structure is added, allowing the crossbow to be fired from the shoulder, which not only shoots more accurately, but also shoots further.

Zhang Lang's philosophy is completely different from the generals of this era. The army he wants to form is an all-round force that can fight at close range and attack from a distance. Therefore, his Ying Yang Army will not only be equipped with heavy armor and long swords, but also powerful bows.

crossbow.

Of course, this will not only greatly increase the cost of arming a soldier, but also increase the difficulty of selecting and training soldiers.

In the next more than half a year, Zhang Lang, with the help of Zhang He and others, recruited and trained troops while building various armors and weapons.

All day long, in addition to the sound of ping-ping-pong-pang-pang-pang-pang-pang-pong, there were bursts of soldiers' training shouts, and his Fourth Young Master's residence seemed to have turned into a large military camp.

Before we knew it, the coldness had long since dissipated, the sun in the sky was like fire, and the ground was blazing! It was midsummer.

On this day, Yuan Shao suddenly received news that Cao Cao had failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and had fled back to Chenliu. He then claimed to have brought the emperor's secret edict and called on all the princes in the world to obey the edict and punish the traitor.

Soon Yuan Shao also received a message from Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao immediately felt that an opportunity had come, and immediately summoned everyone to discuss matters. He ordered Yuan Tan to sit in Bohai, with Xu You assisting him. At the same time, he ordered to assemble 60,000 horses to go out of Bohai and go to Chenliu to join an alliance with Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao also sent people to notify several princes he had contacted in the past six months to go to Chenliu to form an alliance.

Zhang Lang's Fourth Young Master's Mansion is a busy scene. His three thousand eagle troops and five hundred sharp blade troops are preparing for the expedition. Everyone is very excited because after training for so long, they are finally going to embark on the real journey.

It's a battlefield.

Zhang Lang and Zhang He were discussing the upcoming battle. At this time, a sharp-edged soldier came quickly, clasped his fists and bowed: "Sir, my lord's herald has arrived!"

Zhang Lang immediately led Zhang He to the hall in front to receive the order.

When I came to the hall, I saw a figure who looked like a general, and I quickly stepped forward.

When the man saw Zhang Lang arriving, he immediately handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Zhang Lang and said: "My lord ordered the Fourth Young Master to go to the treasury to receive grain and grass, and set off in three days to escort the grain and grass to Chenliu!"

Zhang Lang was a little surprised, because at the meeting not long ago, Yuan Shao appointed him as the former army commander to take the lead, but he did not expect that the order would be changed in the blink of an eye.

Reaching out to take the bamboo slips, the herald clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and said, "The order has been sent, I will retire at the end!"

Zhang Lang immediately asked someone to send the herald out.

I unfolded the bamboo slip and looked at it. The content was exactly as the herald said.

Zhang He frowned and said, "My lord has changed his orders in the morning and evening. Could it be that someone made slanderous remarks in front of my lord?"

Zhang Lang smiled and said: "No need to guess. If you are escorting grain and grass, just escort grain and grass." In Zhang Lang's mind, the purpose of forming his own power is to ensure the life of his playboys. It is better not to fight such a thing than to fight.

good,.

He said to Zhang He: "Immediately dispatch a group of Yingyang troops to follow me to the treasury to check and accept the grain and grass, and then transport them to the camp outside the city for guarding!"

That night, Zhang Lang went back to his study to tinker with his automatic rifle as usual, assembled the two small parts that the blacksmith had recently built according to his requirements, and then skillfully restored the entire rifle.

He stood up, raised the rifle and pulled the trigger in the distance. Click! The familiar sound of the firing pin striking suddenly appeared.

Zhang Lang looked happy and clicked the button twice more, making two click sounds.

Zhang Lang looked at the automatic rifle in his hand and laughed: "Great! I didn't expect it to be repaired! Now I have an extra weapon to use!"

Zhang Lang's automatic rifle was damaged when he crossed over. Zhang Lang has been trying to repair it, and now he finally succeeded.

Zhang Lang put down the automatic rifle and muttered: "There are only three magazines left. It cannot be used unless absolutely necessary."

There were rapid footsteps at the door. Zhang Lang looked toward the door and saw Zhang He in military uniform coming in. He walked straight in front of him, clasped his fists and said: "Brother, the five hundred thousand loads of grain and grass have been inspected and found to be correct. They have been temporarily transported to the camp outside the city."

put.

According to the order of the eldest brother, a team of Yingyang troops were left to guard. In addition, thousands of drivers and oxen and carriages have also entered the camp."

Zhang Lang nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest."

Zhang He clasped his fists in agreement and retreated.

Zhang Lang returned to his bedroom and saw that the room was brightly lit and Feixu was packing his clothes.

Seeing the four large bundles that were almost half a person's height piled on the desk, Zhang Lang couldn't help being dumbfounded. He quickly shouted to Feixu who was still putting clothes into a bundle: "Feixu Fei"

Xu! You, what are you doing?..."

Feixu put away his clothes and pants, glanced at Zhang Lang, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Brother is about to travel far, and I will prepare some changes of clothes for him."

Zhang Lang was moved in his heart, but also had a huge headache at the same time. He smiled bitterly and said: "No, I am going to the front line, not moving!..." Seeing Feixu looking at him pitifully, he couldn't say the next words.

He sighed and said: "You don't have to be busy! I can just prepare two changes of clothes myself!..."

Feixu snorted, looking depressed.

When Zhang Lang saw her like this, he immediately thought that when he was about to return to the army, his sister in that world was also like this, and he couldn't help but sigh.
