Time passed by, and it was the autumn of the eighth year of Jian'an again. It had been two full years since Liu Jing came to the country.

After Yuan Shao died of illness last year, in order to compete for inheritance, the Yuan brothers broke out in internal strife. Cao Cao watched the changes and waited for an opportunity to attack. At the same time, he was abducted from the relationship between Ma Teng and the Yuan brothers in Xiliang to prevent him from responding in the west.

In Jiangxia, although the overall situation was calm, there was constant undercurrent under the calm river. Huang Zu sent people to pretend to be the property of Chaisang merchants and travelers on the Yangtze River, but they were both destroyed by Liu Jing, allowing Gan Ning to escort them all, and Huang Zu had to give up.

On the other hand, when Huang Zu found out that Liu Jing had a relationship with Jiangdong, he secretly sent someone to report to Liu Biao.

This news made Liu Biao angry and ordered Liu Jing to return to Xiangyang to explain the matter. Thanks to Kuai Yue's further maintenance, and the matter was explained by Liu Jing's rise in popularity in Jiangxia, which finally calmed down.

At the fourth update, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and a bright moon hangs in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on the Yangtze River, dyeing the rippling waves with a layer of silver.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Liu Jing sat quietly on the shore alone, with his upper body naked, his long black and thick hair spread on his shoulders, his eyes were slightly closed, and his bronzed muscles in his chest were slightly undulating, and his physical strength was recovering little by little.

Liu Jing is eighteen years old this year, and the years have made a mature mark on his angular face. In Chaisang for a year and a half, Liu Jing appears in the Yangtze River every night. The long-term hard training has gradually changed his body. He has become more burly and strong, with strong muscles and bones, and his strength has increased rapidly.

All of this is due to a relationship with Yuzhen. If the changes in appearance only make Liu Jing look stronger and stronger, only Liu Jing himself knows the changes in the inner world.

His power has increased rapidly twice, one occurred last winter and the other occurred this summer, which is a qualitative change that occurs from quantitative accumulation.

The two consecutive increases in strength made Liu Jing seem to be reborn. The weight of his weapon he used increased from forty kilograms to seventy kilograms, and the bow power also increased from eight dou bows to five dou stones.

Although he was still unable to use Lu Bu's Fangtian Painting Ji at this time, he was not worried because Zhao Yun told him that there would usually be a chance to improve his strength. He had obtained twice, so there would be a last drastic change.

He patiently waited for the arrival of the first opportunity. This was an experience that was hard to come by. It happened suddenly. Every part of his body would be swallowed up by a huge force. It was an extremely comfortable and pleasant experience.

Liu Jing's physical strength has gradually recovered. He slowly stood up, bit the sword in his mouth, and jumped into the magnificent Yangtze River again. It soon disappeared from the surface of the river and sank into a deeper and darker underwater world.

.........

At the moment of Mao, when the sky turned white and the sky was bright, the melodious bells sounded at the top of the city. Dongdong, Yu Ming, who had already been waiting outside the city, was immediately excited. He adjusted the vegetable harness and drove the ox cart, and rushed to line up at the city gate.

The city gate opened on time, and vendors, vegetable farmers and a few traveling taxis rushed in, and Chaisang City began every day's life again.

At this time, several followers surrounded the exhausted Liu Jing and rode slowly on horseback. The soldiers had long been used to the night training they led. Every day, regardless of wind or rain, the soldiers were impressed by his perseverance.

Liu Jing entered the city, threw the reins to the entourage, and went straight to the city. He still needed half an hour to fully recover his strength.

All this has been familiar with it. Every day, there is a special lounge room in the city tower, with only a bamboo mat in the room, and nothing else.

He chewed a green pill and swallowed it, sat cross-legged on the bamboo mat. At this time, all his spiritual thoughts disappeared, as if he was in an endless void, and his physical strength was beginning to recover little by little.

Half an hour later, Liu Jing got out of the city with great energy. The next step was to go to the military camp and inspect the daily training of soldiers.

But an abnormal situation happened today. As soon as Liu Jing walked down the city, a soldier came up. "Report to Sima, the county magistrate Xu sent someone to say that if Sima goes down to the city, ask Sima to go to the iron workshop and say that something is important."

The Iron Workshop was established last year and actually includes two workshops: smelting and forging. It is the most important weapon forging base in Chaisang.

Since last year, Liu Jing has purchased a large amount of high-quality iron ore from Danyang County through the Tao family, and bought a considerable amount of carbohydrate from Bashu. Two smelters are responsible for smelting high-quality steel.

The smelting method of fine steel is also high-carbon steel. Its smelting method was introduced from the Western Regions by Zhang Qian. In fact, it was to add an appropriate amount of carbon powder to the iron smelting to make the iron harder, thereby creating high-quality weapons.

Since last year, Chaisang not only has more than 200,000 kilograms of high-quality steel, but also has created several pairs of special armor and weapons.

Iron Workshop is located next to Water Gate.

It was originally a wasteland covering an area of ​​more than ten acres. Liu Jing bought this wasteland from the landowner, built warehouses, built furnaces, and built high walls around it. Two soldiers patrol and guarded them, and was very cautious.

During this period, Liu Jing also attached great importance to the situation of the iron workshop. A major experiment is being conducted in the workshop. It has failed dozens of times in a row, but it is getting closer and closer to success.

Liu Jing had just walked to the gate of the workshop and happened to meet Xu Shu hurriedly walking out, with an uncontrollable excitement on his face.

"Master, I'm going to find you." When Xu Shu saw Liu Jing, he immediately said excitedly.

"Is it successful?" Liu Jing had a intuition, it should be successful.

Xu Shu said excitedly: "My husband, it's successful, and it's finally built."

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, then rushed towards the northwest corner like a strong wind. He rushed straight into a house. The house was wide and light shot through the surrounding windows, making the room particularly bright.

There were already more than a dozen people in the room, including the official in charge of the iron workshop, the Chaisang worker Cao Wuqun, and several workers, and the rest were all famous blacksmiths.

In the middle of the house is a table of 100 feet, which is actually made up of four tables. At this time, a special weapon is placed on the table. Judging from the appearance, it should be a sword, but the sword is about two feet long and the handle is four feet long.

The shape of this long sword is a bit like the horse-slaying sword made by Shaofu Temple, but it is different when you look closely. The horse-slaying sword in Shaofu Temple is a kind of palace imperial artifact and is generally not used on the battlefield. Therefore, it is exaggerated and stout, weighing forty-seven kilograms and 15 feet long.

As early as half a year ago, the craftsmen created the Horse-Slaying Sword, but that was not what Liu Jing wanted. If he was a more refined and more suitable for practical combat, he would have been a Horse-Slaying Sword.

It took more than half a year and after dozens of failures, the craftsmen finally created the horse-slaying sword that Liu Jing wanted. In fact, its appearance was no longer a sword, but a knife, which was longer and stronger, with blades on both sides, and extremely sharp.

This saber saber weighs only fourteen kilograms and is 100 feet long. The blade is thin and thin, as if it can be cut by one knife. But in fact, this long knife is extremely hard, especially the blade is made of the best steel double-pinch, which is extremely sharp.

This is the Modao that Liu Jing imagined. Although it is different from the Modao used by the Sui army, it is already very similar. Moreover, it has all the advantages of Modao, but all the craftsmen unanimously call it the Horse-Slaying Saber.

Liu Jing picked up the straight slashing saber about 2 meters long and waved it left and right. A powerful murderous intent emerged from his hands. He imagined that several heavily armored soldiers waved the saberer at the same time, pushing like a wall, rushing towards Cao Cao's extremely powerful tiger and leopard cavalry.

Liu Jing gently stroked the blade, and a faint green light shone on it. He suddenly turned around and shouted, "Wu Gong Cao Ke is here."

Worker Cao Wuqun immediately stepped forward to salute, "I am humble in my position."

"I'll ask you how long it takes to make such a saber."

Wu Qun bowed and said, "Reporting to Sima, we have fully mastered the method of creating this saber, but the craftsmanship is very complicated and difficult to build. If you are not careful, you will fail. Let's make a preliminary calculation that a famous craftsman can create one in half a month."

Liu Jing stared at him with sharp eyes, "I don't care about that much, I just ask you, how many can you give me in January."

Wu Qun quickly thought about it and said with a bitter look on his face: "At least ten, at most only fifteen."

Liu Jing was a little disappointed. He planned to form a five-man heavy armored soldier, but this speed equipment will take at least four years to complete. Four years later, it will be exactly ten years of Jian'an.

Liu Jing put down the saberk and instructed Wu Qun: "Try to speed up as quickly as possible. In addition, just like building heavy armor, the creation technology of the saberk sword must be absolutely confidential and must not be disclosed."

"Please rest assured that Sima has strictly controlled the secrets and will never be disclosed."

...........

After leaving the iron workshop, Liu Jing turned his foot to the military camp again. At this time, Liu Jing's total army had reached 6,000, of which five were stationed in Yangxin County and Xiazhi County. The military marquis Zhao Zhi and military marquis Wang Tai were commanded respectively, while Gan Ning led 1,000 people to be stationed in Longwan City as the side responder of Chaisang.

The remaining 4,000 people were stationed in Chaisang. These troops were trained for a long time and were elite. They were led by four generals, Wei Yan, Liu Hu, Liao Hua and Li Jun, and were loyal to Liu Jing.

After more than a year of development, Liu Jing has become the strongest man among Liu Chou's nephews, with 6,000 elite soldiers, remaining warships and five war horses.

Liu Jing rode a horse and ran to the camp gate, rolled over and dismounted and asked, "General Tiger can be here."

"Report to Sima, he is leading heavy armored soldiers training in the school grounds."
