Chapter 145 The Huns rebelled and bandited Liu Zhang
A wise monarch always puts people's talents to good use, and Liu Zhang did the same. In order to prevent the steel-frying method and the folding forging method from being lost, Liu Zhang found a group of apprentices and went to learn from the old blacksmith. Of course, he said he was learning, but in fact he was a master.
In ancient times, masters and apprentices were like father and son. The old blacksmith was also very strict, and the whole group of apprentices screamed. However, the apprentices' forging skills improved by leaps and bounds under the strict discipline of the old blacksmith. Therefore, how could the apprentices respect the old blacksmith?
What a great word! However, Liu Zhang never figured out the identity of the old blacksmith. He only knew that his surname was Zheng. As for his origin, not even the old blacksmith's son knew.
The old blacksmith worked hard from Youzhou to Bingzhou, and Liu Zhang did not criticize others harshly. The only thing that made Liu Zhang a little depressed was that he did not know whether he should set up a weapons manufacturing workshop in Bingzhou. Bingzhou is located on the border, and Liu Zhang is now in charge.
, so it is relatively peaceful. If one day, Liu Zhang moves his headquarters to Chang'an or Chengdu, it will definitely not be safe for this weapons workshop to be placed in Bingzhou.
Finally, at Xi Zhicai's suggestion, Liu Zhang built a small workshop near Longshan on a tributary of Wenshui River. The old blacksmith was very dissatisfied with this. Since Liu Zhang sent a large number of apprentices, the old blacksmith had nearly a thousand people in his workshop.
It was too small and obviously a bit crowded! But Liu Zhang suggested that the craftsmen be divided into two or even three shifts, so that they could build weapons day and night. As for the old blacksmith, he was only responsible for inspecting the quality of the weapons and technological transformation, so he let the old blacksmith
Anger is joy.
The blacksmiths worked overtime, and the Bingzhou army immediately changed their equipment in large numbers. The standard equipment originally issued by the Han Dynasty court was like broken copper and iron, being thrown into the warehouse. But Liu Zhang did not throw away these equipment, destroy them, and maybe return them in the future.
It’s useful! Of course, the equipment here also includes armor.
Like the fish scale armor, it was originally inlaid with copper and iron sheets, but now it is replaced with steel sheets. It is not only much harder, but also much lighter. Even Zhang Fei and other generals abandoned the armor issued by the emperor and replaced it with
However, the armors of Zhang Fei and others were specially made, not only inlaid with two layers of steel plates, but also two layers of cowhide.
Originally, Guan Yu could smash more than ten pairs of armors stacked together with one strike, and Zhao Yun could pierce through more than a dozen pairs of armors with one shot. However, with Bingzhou's specially made armor, Zhao Yun could only pierce six at most even if he tried his best.
He could only split three of them. Of course, this does not mean that Guan Yu is inferior to Zhao Yun, but that stabbing with a gun takes less effort than cutting with a knife.
Of course, ordinary armor cannot achieve this kind of defense, but it is not a bit better than the standard equipment issued by the previous imperial court. Moreover, because Liu Zhang proposed assembly line operations and unified weights and measures when building the armor, even if the armor is struck by
Even if it breaks, the iron piece on it can be reused, saving Liu Zhang a lot of money.
Speaking of money, Liu Zhang had a headache again. Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang spent all their wealth to exchange him for 20 million shi of grain. In less than half a year, half of it was used. Although at the end of the year, the people all turned in part of it.
, but most of them were lost due to work-for-relief. In addition, making weapons and training new soldiers required money for everything. Liu Zhang wished that someone would give him money! Unfortunately, even the Mi family could only support Liu Zhang a little.
, it was just a drop in the bucket, so Liu Zhang planned to rob the Huns!
To be honest, being Liu Zhang’s neighbor is really unlucky. The Wuwan people didn’t know what to do and wanted to rob Liu Zhang. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang did it even more ruthlessly than the Wuwan people. He went straight to Wuhuan Mountain, the royal court of Wuwan, and robbed him ruthlessly.
A handful. It can be said that Liu Zhang’s first pot of gold was given by Wuwan people.
Liu Zhang made his fortune by robbing, so naturally he would not do business seriously. Karasuma robbed him, and there were also Huns and Qiang people! Qiang King Beigong Boyu was just passing by Bingzhou, so he was sent to Luoyang by Liu Zhang to exchange things.
Now life or death is uncertain. And most of the Qiang people are in Liangzhou, so Liu Zhang can't do anything out of line. After all, he is still under the control of the Han court. So, the poor Xiongnu became Liu Zhang's target.
Of course, this was something the Huns brought upon themselves. They had been robbing the Han people since the beginning of the Han Dynasty. During the Siege of Baideng, the Huns also humiliated Emperor Gaozu. Although Liu Zhang did not think highly of Liu Bang, Liu Bang
After all, he is his ancestor, so he can use Liu Bang's name to talk about things. Who made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty say: Even if the ninth generation takes revenge, it is not too late!
Just when Liu Zhang was about to send troops to the Southern Xiongnu, a report made him reluctantly give up his idea. The Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Qiangqu sent his son Yu Fuluo to help Liu Yu deal with Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju! Now the enemy army became
Liu Zhang had no choice but to take action as he had allies, otherwise the censors in the imperial court would make him uneasy. He did not want to be called into the capital by the emperor at this time.
I don’t know if God is helping Liu Zhang or playing tricks on him. Just when Liu Zhang was about to stop his troops, another news came to Bingzhou. It turned out that 100,000 people in the Southern Xiongnu Kingdom rebelled, and the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Qiangqu was killed! Qiangqu
His son Yu Fuluo applied to the Han Dynasty to return to the Xiongnu to take charge of the overall situation, but the court did not allow it. Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he got the news, and he immediately mobilized all his troops in Jinyang to prepare to attack the southern Xiongnu. Of course, Liu Zhang left enough soldiers to guard Jinyang.
As soon as he entered the grassland, Liu Zhang immediately started to sweep away. He didn't care whether the Huns wanted to live in peace with the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty was about to enter a period of turmoil. In Liu Zhang's eyes, these Huns were not from our race, and their intentions must be different. You know,
In history, Yu Fuluo once said that he would help the Han Dynasty quell the rebellion. However, as soon as Liu Hong died, Yu Fuluo immediately colluded with Baibo Yellow Turban. Not only did they invade Sanfu and plunder the people, but they also took Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan away.
Captured the Huns.
Poor Han people, they have suffered terribly from the war, and they are also humiliated and enslaved by foreigners. Is it tolerable or intolerable? Liu Zhang was an angry youth in his previous life. In the eyes of some historians, the Five Husbands in China are the great leader of the Chinese nation.
Integration, but in Liu Zhang's eyes, if Wuhu wanted to integrate into the Han people, what method could not be used? How many millions of Han people needed to be killed? Since it was all about integration, he decided to use his method to integrate the foreign races and the Han people. As for
Liu Zhang's method is not much different from that used by foreigners!
Plundering the Xiongnu was different from robbing Wuhuan Mountain, because the Huns were in civil strife, and Liu Zhang could sweep them away slowly, or even send people to send back the looted materials, and then send out troops to plunder. As a result, a group of Xiongnu appeared on the prairie.
The army looks like horse thieves, and they will not let go of any Xiongnu tribe.
Although Liu Zhang was very vicious, there were still survivors. However, because the armor and weapons of Liu Zhang were different from the standard equipment of the Han Dynasty, the Huns did not recognize them as the Han army in Bingzhou. If Liu Zhang only robbed,
The Huns just turned a blind eye. How could there ever be a day when small tribes on the grassland were not annexed and large tribes merged with each other? But Liu Zhang’s behavior made the Huns intolerable!
Originally, the Xiongnu Chan Yu Qiangqu was killed, and his son Yufuluo should succeed him. However, Yufuluo was detained by the Han court and could not come back. In addition, Qiangqu died because of the rebellion of his countrymen, so everyone recommended Xu Bu
Guduhou was the Chanyu. When Xubu Guduhou heard about this, he immediately mobilized the royal army in an attempt to encircle Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang didn't know that the Huns had sent troops, and he was still leisurely on the grassland!
"Ask the guide, where are we?" Liu Zhang was riding on his horse, followed by the four great kings of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei, but behind him were 20,000 cavalry troops, and these 20,000 cavalry troops were already
One person and three horses.
"Report to the champion, the past is Aobao Tu!" The guide looked very respectful. Along the way, he could see through Liu Zhang's nature as a butcher.
"Hmm!" Liu Zhang couldn't help asking because of an unfamiliar place name: "Which direction is Langjuxu Mountain?"
The guide pointed to the east and said: "More than a hundred miles to the northeast is Langjuxu Mountain, where the royal court of the Huns is located!"
"Brother, you don't want to sneak attack on the Xiongnu royal court, do you?" Zhang Fei smiled evilly, while Zhao Yun and others showed a trace of solemnity on their faces.
Liu Zhang said depressedly: "Are you kidding me? There are at least 200,000 soldiers in the Xiongnu royal court, and we only have 20,000. Even Huo Qubing back then dared to sneak attack on the Xiongnu royal court when the Huns were sending troops.
Do you think I am looking for death?"
Zhang Fei rubbed his head in embarrassment and said, "Then why did the eldest brother ask Lang Juxu Mountain?"
"What are you doing? Get ready to escape!" Liu Zhang pointed at the soldiers with three horses and one man, and asked with a smile: "Why do you think I have prepared so many horses for everyone? After such a long time, it is time for the Xiongnu royal court to elect a new chanyu.
If the Huns use all their troops to chase me, I can easily escape!"
"Uh..." Zhang Fei said with some astonishment: "Brother, our morale is strong, why do we need to escape?"
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Of course we have to run! Although our soldiers can ride horses, they are different from the Huns who always ride on horses. If we really fight, we will suffer. Now we are alone in the depths. If we are surrounded by the Huns, we will die.
Got it!"
"Okay! Stop talking nonsense!" Liu Zhang ordered: "Zilong, I order you to take your own troops as scouts. Yun Chang, you are the leader!"
"General, I obey!" Zhao Yun and Guan Yu took action. Liu Zhang, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei turned their troops around and walked back slowly.
"Report!" After traveling for nearly twenty miles, a junior high school officer rode up to Liu Zhang and said, "I would like to inform you, my lord, that General Zhao has discovered traces of the Xiongnu army thirty miles away. There are about fifty thousand people!"
"The Huns are coming so fast!" Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Order General Zhao to come see me!"
"Yes!" The principal quickly called Zhao Yun.
Liu Zhang carefully inquired about the situation of the Xiongnu army. When he heard that it was the Xiongnu Chanyu who was chasing him, his eyes immediately lit up! As long as the Xiongnu Chanyu was killed, the Huns would be leaderless and would definitely remain in chaos for a while. Liu Zhang put his thoughts
After talking to Zhao Yun and the other four, they asked, "How about it? Wealth can be found in danger. Do you want to vote for it?"
