Looking at the pair of ear cups placed on the short table, Geng Yong and Cui Jun both fell into deep thought.

Liu Bei had informed the two that this cup was the cup for food when Yan Rou was a slave in the Hu people's camp. There were many Han slaves, and they could not eat without a cup. If they were broken by mistake, they would not want to starve to death, and they could only take others.

After saluting Liu Bei, Cui Jun picked up the two cups, one hand and looked at them repeatedly. Suddenly, he handed the cup with his left hand to Geng Yong beside him.

Geng Yong subconsciously took it.

Cui Jun raised his glass to invite him. Geng Yong immediately realized it and raised his glass too. The two of them drank each other in a drink.

Liu Bei suddenly realized: So that's it!

Cui Jun smiled and said: There will be a result soon.

Geng Yong also sighed: I hope Yan Rou will be able to get his grudges away. In the future, he will always be with the lord, and it will become a good story.

Unlike the two retainers, Liu Bei was a little worried. Although Yan Rou had a lot of experience, she was still young. Returning alone must be because she wanted to do something big. Whether it was revenge or aggravation, he was in the Hu camp at a young age. Even if he was revenge, how could he escape unscathed?

Don't hurt your life.

Before the winter solstice, the clan sent to Danyang to buy crocodile skins to return with the Tian family merchant ship. The bloody crocodile skins filled the cabins. At this time, there were so many endangered animals in later generations that were flooding, hurting lives. In this era, I heard that there were rhinos in the south of the Yangtze River and elephants everywhere in the south. The barbarians used rhinoceros leather as armor, but swords could not be damaged.

The raw skin should be treated as soon as possible. Su Bo ordered the good craftsman to work day and night to build the dragon leather armor without mentioning it.

Su Bo told Liu Bei that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the manufacturing skills of leather armor were excellent. In "Kaogong Ji", different raw materials were used, such as leather making, forging, drilling, etc., and different processes. The article "The Way to Observe Leather" has specific standards for what kind of leather to choose, how to distinguish color, thickness, and toughness. Just follow this method, choose high-quality leather and hand it over to a good worker to sew it, and then you can create a pair of leather armor that "sits up and kneels and bows."

There are also records in "Zuo Zhuan" about lacquered leather armor and ribbon-woven leather armor. The raw materials for leather armor are widely sourced. Rhino leather, shark leather, wild boar leather, elephant leather, cattle and horse, etc. The leather armor of the northern nomadic peoples is mostly made by homemade. The Central Plains dynasty was made uniformly by craftsmen. The southern part of the south was rainy, and the leather armor must be applied with waterproof tung oil. Such.

The biggest advantage of leather armor is that it can quickly arm an army. From cutting off raw leather to painting and painting pieces, it does not take a long time to make armor clothes.

The first floor of the martial arts field, the leather workshop.

The north wind is howling outside, and the goose feathers are falling on snow. The fire inside the house is as warm as spring.

In ancient times, professional arrogance craftsmen were called "Hanren". There is also a sentence in "Kaogong Ji" that "Hanrenren is arrogance".

Liu Bei used to call him "The Armor Craftsman", or simply called him "The Lessman".

There is a difference between leather and leather. Raw leather is painted with lacquer.

In addition to Liu Bei, Huang Zhong and others, Xu Rong was also acting as a model, standing on the stage, and the figure size was carefully measured by the craftsmen.

The standard armor plates for the turtle tool have been cut. Now we are measuring the size of the armor plates in some special parts. It is only the first step to cut all the armor plates. Then we need to perform the first loose lacquer. Then we send them to the water pressure workshop to press them into combined armor. Then we lacquer them into armor and paint them twice before we can use them.

This is true for human armor and vests.

Liu Bei was carefully observing the armor of a good craftsman, but suddenly he heard the horns of the west palace ringing.

An enemy is coming!

When the enemy comes from the west, he must walk on the official road. This road leads to Zhuo County. How is it possible?

Before Liu Bei could enter the martial arts arena, the horn of the Xique sounded again. One short and two long, the alarm was lifted.

Under the protection of the Baili elite soldiers, Liu Bei walked towards Xique. The Xilin beacon drum, one of the eight scenic spots of Lou Sang, was not far from Que Tower. He arrived in a moment.

Cui Ba was standing in a halberd and his horse stood up.

More than a hundred sword and shield soldiers lined up in a square formation behind him, cutting off the official road. There were many people who watched the fun without much trouble. They used all kinds of expressions, but they were not afraid. In addition, those who dared to attack Lou Sang were all beheaded and piled up at the entrance of Zhuo County. The sun was exposed to rain, frost, wind and ice.

Seeing Liu Bei arrive, the onlookers saluted and called Shao Junhou. Then they dispersed and made a way out.

The white virgin soldiers were scattered beside Liu Bei, protecting him through the crowd and stopping behind the sword and shield soldiers.

Cui Ba was wearing a black engraving armor, a ghost face, a helmet with red tassels, a wolf-skinned cloak, a double-hooked sickle spear, and a single horse, yelled at the sparse knight on the opposite side, asking: "The person who came is a common name! Why did he break into my Lou Sang!"

"Call!" The sword and shield soldiers behind them attacked the shield with their swords and strengthened their power.

Then a strong man from the north rode a Xianbei horse out of the team and said in a hunch: "I am Tian Gang, a raider from Liaodong, and I will come to join my brother Xu Rong!" His momentum was not weak at all.

"Brothers, don't move lightly!" A loud shout came from behind. Xu Rong, who hurriedly took off his armor and rushed from the workshop.

"Don't worry, lord. Everyone comes (Xu) Rong's brothers, Liaodong righteous men!" They are all the northern heirs who have been with him in Liaodong for many years. Xu Rong raised his eyes to recognize him.

Liu Bei became more and more happy as he looked at it, so he nodded with a smile: "In this way, take it to the martial arts venue."

"Here!" Xu Rong then crossed the battle formation and walked towards the opposite side.

The strong man immediately dismounted and hurriedly got off the horse and hugged Xu Rong. The heroes also surrounded him and spoke loudly with Xu Rong. Seeing that the goose heroes dismounted one after another, Liu Bei knew that the matter was done.

More than a hundred Liaodong rangers all had good Xianbei horses. When they came to Liu Bei, they could form a single army.

How about calling Liaodong Ranger?

He is skilled in archery and horses, and is good at fighting in the army. He cooperates with each other and is as close as his brothers. He is both elite soldiers and brave. Think about it, he can still survive until now when he fights with Hu cavalry all day long. If he uses these hundred people as the central army and forms a cavalry, he can indeed defeat Sun Polu!

After Huang Zhong first escorted Liu Bei, who was laughing at the ear, back to the martial arts field, Cui Ba then separated the battle formation and let Xu Rong and others enter.

The city has high towers and high pavilions, and the people are heard. I am stunned by the crowd of Liaodong Han. I look at the Lou Sang tribe again. The sharp soldiers and armor are all tigers. Then I gather their arrogance and lead the horses. Liu Bei ordered people to rebuild the Lucheng Hou Ancestral Hall. Surrounded by high walls, the buildings are stacked with ridges. The old pine trees in the courtyard are vigorous and upright. There are pairs of stone lions in front of the door, and the large lacquer wood plaques are hanging high on the door. The words "Lucheng Hou Ancestral Hall" are written on it, with four large gilded characters.

Just by looking up, you will know that it is not an easy place.

Walking further along the wall of the ancestral temple, a vast and towering martial arts field suddenly emerged, penetrated into the sky, blocking everyone's entire sight.

This is clearly a military fortress in the city!

The martial arts fair is surrounded by heavy buildings, with high and low heights in an orderly manner. The underground is a prison. The first floor is a large stable, a forage room, a saddle room, a tool room, and a weapon room. The second floor is a barracks, a school, a clinic, a sick house, a general school room, and a viewing platform is built on the second floor on the south side. On the east and west sides, there are door holes for entry and exit and a watchtower. There are also third floors, fourth floors and fifth floors on the north side. The third floor, the front of the fourth floor is also a viewing platform, and the back is a viewing platform.

The fifth floor is exclusively enjoyed by Shaojunhou. The large flat seat overlooks the entire Lou Sang.

The hero beside Xu Rong couldn't help but be amazed: "Who is so generous?"

Xu Rong smiled and said, "Brothers Ma Xing, the tall buildings in the city are all built fairly! I passed by the 'Lucheng Hou Temple' before, and it was the lord's family temple. Those who are called Shaojun Hou are my lord."

Ma Xing smiled silly: "Brother has found a good background."

Tian Gang asked in a hunched voice: "Brother, we have a lot of people. People eat horses and chew them, which costs a lot of money and food. Will the young master be willing to take them in?"

Xu Rong also smiled: "The young lord has more than 20,000 people in the town, and the beautiful land is ten miles away. The property in the town is making money every day. Why don't you and my brothers do this!"

Tiangang touched his head and smiled silly: "You can eat enough!" The men who licked blood on the knife all day long, slept with the Xianbei roars, fought with the Xianbei roars, are getting older this year, and want to let the whole family live a stable life.

Ma Xingxi said: "You can have enough food and sleep soundly, and your brothers gather together. What's the point of selling this life to the young master! Han Long, do you think it's true or not."

Another person interjected: "Brother Ma's words are reasonable. Brothers are united and their strength will be cut off."

The four of them spoke loudly, and Cui Ba, who was leading troops all the way, couldn't help but smile and said, "Tsk tsk, look at the aura of this little family. Come to Lou Sang, it's not just filling your stomach? In this way, why not go to Yishe to eat porridge! Even if it's a good meal of wine and fish, my young master can afford it. Just..."

"Just what?" Taroka swallowed, his eyes widened.

"Just win the double hook sickle in my hand." Cui Ba smiled arrogantly.
Chapter completed!
