Han Dao world

Chapter 411
Looking at the grateful Zhao Yun, Liu Xie suddenly felt sad for Liu Bei, and also realized the huge potential value of the emperor's identity.

In the same desolate situation, there are countless people like Yang Biao and Shi Sunrui who are willing to die for the court, but few people are willing to follow Liu Bei.The emperor naturally owned the world, so Liu Bei had to do his best to keep Xuzhou.

He was willing to give Liu Bei a place, but in the end it was just empty words, but it was enough to make Zhao Yun feel his sincerity.

It is only natural for Liu Bei to become a minister to the court. If he does not, many people will be disappointed or despised.

Wouldn't Liu Bei know how the rich Xuzhou people despised him?That would underestimate Liu Bei too much.

He just didn't have a better choice.

"I heard that Liu Bei is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, is there any inheritance?"

Zhao Yun shook his head in embarrassment. "I don't know very well."

Liu Xie smiled.It's not necessarily that Zhao Yun didn't know clearly, it's more likely that he was embarrassed to say it.If there were solid evidence, Liu Bei would never be so low-key and not show it to others.

Fortunately, he didn't care if Liu Bei was right or not, he just wanted to throw out a bait.

"It's okay, let him ask the elders in the clan to see if anyone still remembers. Besides, Zhuo County and Zhongshan border, the ancestral tombs should still be there, so it's not difficult to sort out. If he can check clearly, he will make meritorious deeds in the future. It is also possible to return to the clan."

Zhao Yun was inexplicably grateful, thank you again.

The emperor personally promised that Liu Bei's clan can be restored in the future, which is a great favor.If Liu Bei still refuses to go astray and know his way back, then he will cut himself off from the sky, and he can't blame anyone.

"Your Majesty will tell Xuande about His Majesty's favor, it's not easy to say a single word."

Liu Xie nodded.

He made such a promise not so much to give Liu Bei a chance, but more for Zhao Yun and Guan Yu.

The court is benevolent and righteous, if Liu Bei still refuses to be a minister, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu will no longer have the need to defend him.Righteousness comes first, no matter how good personal feelings are, they can only be put aside.

Liu Xie talked with Zhao Yun for a long time, not only the gains and losses of the recent military training, but also Liu Bei's struggle history, including the personal temperament of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

He was not completely relieved of Guan Yu's coming to vote.After all, Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is hard for him to imagine that Guan Yu left Liu Bei and served the court just because of disagreement.

Zhao Yun has great confidence in Guan Yu.

There are two reasons for him: one is that Guan Yu is loyal and upright, and disdains falsehood.The second is that Guan Yu doesn't like scholar-bureaucrats, and he naturally hates Yuan Shao.Between the imperial court and Yuan Shao, it is very normal for him to choose the imperial court.

With Zhao Yun's opinion, Liu Xie finally felt relieved.

After talking about the past and the present, they talked about their future plans.

Like Xu Huang's suggestion.

Liu Xie has a certain understanding of ancient history, but the military is not professional enough.In his impression, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife is only a famous knife in the Romance, and there is no such weapon on the real battlefield.

The same is true now, Guan Yu used a spear, not a long knife.

However, Xu Huang's suggestion was reasonable. Letting a tall and strong man like Guan Yu use a long knife may give full play to his advantages.

But not as cavalry, but as infantry.

He remembered the Mo Dao Zhen of the Tang Dynasty.

Mo Dao is a long sword used by infantry, and its original origin may be the horse-killing sword of the Han Dynasty.After coming to this world, Liu Xie learned about some situations, but found that there was no habit of using the horse-killing sword on the battlefield in the Han Dynasty.

The Horse-Chopping Sword, also known as the Broken Horse Sword, was made by Shangfang and worn by the officials in the hall. Apart from better quality, it was not much different from ordinary swords in terms of size.

Liu Xie asked Zhao Yun about this issue.Zhao Yun is familiar with both infantry warfare and cavalry warfare, so he is the most suitable advisor.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Yun said, "I think there are two difficulties with this method of warfare."

"tell me the story."

"The first is people. With Yunchang's majesty, he can hold a long knife, kill people and cut horses. But such a person is one in a thousand, and whether he can become an army is really a question. Even if he is not as tall as Yunchang feet, more than eight feet is always needed."

Liu Xie agrees with Zhao Yun.

The height of people in the Han Dynasty was limited, and seven feet was the average figure. According to later generations, they were in their early [-] meters.Such a height would definitely not be able to handle a long soldier like Mo Dao.The Zhanma Sword in Shi Chuan is not a long weapon, but a short weapon that can be held with both hands.

Maybe the appearance of Modao in the Tang Dynasty has something to do with height?

"The second is the sword and the armor. The Bailian long sword can indeed cut through armor, but it is not easy to equip thousands of people with the Bailian long sword. And the long sword must be held with both hands, you cannot hold a shield, you can only wear armor. Armor If the armor is too heavy, it will consume too much energy and cannot fight for a long time. If the armor is too light, it will be difficult to withstand the close-range shooting of the cavalry, and you will be shot and killed before the battle."

Liu Xie thought so, and nodded again and again.

The sword is for attack, and the armor is for defense.The attack must be invincible, and the defense must be foolproof.Otherwise, it would be pointless to select carefully and spend countless manpower and material resources to equip the long-sword soldiers who were shot and killed by the opponent before the battle, or if they did not have enough lethality despite the battle.

As far as the current smelting process is concerned, the armor is not yet able to shoot at close range without feeling, and the weight is appropriate, and the sword cannot kill the armored cavalry.Individual fierce people may be able to do it, but it does not have the significance of promotion.

The Modao team is the double peak of personal ability and metal smelting technology, which is not so easy to achieve.

"Let Yun Chang try first." Liu Xie finally came to a conclusion.

Sooner or later, he will need a weapon like the Modao team, so it is worth making some preparations in advance.

Zhao Yun is very satisfied with Liu Xie's arrangement, he neither rushes for success nor gives up easily, this is the bearing an emperor should have.

-

After leaving the account, Zhao Yun raised his head and glanced at the night sky.

The night is dark, the stars are bright, quiet and deep.

But he knows in his heart that the world is not peaceful, especially in Shandong, where storms are about to come.

Will Liu Bei accept the emperor's edict?
he does not know.

But he knew that Liu Bei had no better choice.

The emperor Shengming, not to mention Liu Bei, even Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and third prince, does not have much chance.

Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are Yuan Shao's half-brothers, and the other is Yuan Shao's former subordinates, and they both chose to profess their ministers to the court, which is a clear proof.

I hope Liu Bei can recognize this and don't make the same mistakes again and again.

Zhao Yun returned to his tent, sat there for a long time, and decided to write a letter to Jian Yong.

It may not be useful to write directly to Liu Bei, because people are in the middle of the game, and it is inevitable that they will be confused.Jian Yong is one of the few counselors around Liu Bei, and he has won Liu Bei's trust, so maybe he will be more sober.It may be more useful for him to advise from the side than to persuade Liu Bei directly.And Jian Yong can not only persuade Liu Bei, but also Zhang Fei.Once both Jian Yong and Zhang Fei hoped to submit to the court, Liu Bei had to consider his own choice.

He alone cannot gain a foothold in Xuzhou.

Guan Yu's departure should give him enough reminder.With Liu Bei's character, he will not be stubborn until he becomes a loner.
