When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Zihu sighed and looked up at the man in front of him: "Last time we met, your surname was Si and Xin, how come it has changed to Li now? Which Li family is this Li?"

"There is the Li family in Changping, which is the former patriarch of the Xin family, Li Bing." Li Wu smiled, "I persuaded you to form an alliance this time, and my adoptive father was very happy. He has offered me to the ancestors and included me in the Jade Book. I also came from the Xin family of the Si surname, and joined the Li family."

"It's him..." Zihu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "I didn't expect that the person who talked to me about Beibo for so long was actually from Yan? However, I heard that Li Bing has at least 80 sons. He can't give birth to a son? Is he adopting sons everywhere?"

“No, although I have no blood relationship with my adoptive father, the children of Yan State are judged by their merits.

As long as one has made merit, he can be promoted to a noble title and have a family name, and then he can start a family line.

After all, becoming an adult's adopted son is just a stepping stone.

With this stepping stone, our future path will be easier.

Of course, many people also escaped from slavery and rose to fame overnight. "Liu finished speaking, holding his head high.

"Yes, you all have opportunities to rise..." Zihu said expressionlessly, but the fire in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.

In the State of Yan, even slaves had opportunities for advancement, but what about the Shang clan?

The moment he was born, his future was framed.

If his father wasn't the King of Shang, he wouldn't even be able to get a Pizi! He wouldn't even be qualified to get one!
But what if I caught it?
The future is still full of restrictions!
From the moment he was conferred the title of Viscount, his future was locked!

Viscount, also known as the multi-son clan in the Shang clan, is a title generally given to the royal clan.

But he is a member of the royal family! A member of the royal family, in the end he became a viscount.

Even if you don’t give him the title of Guardian of the Capital, you can give him the title of Marquis of the Borderland!

As a result, when King Geng of Shang had not yet lost his power, he was just a Huaishang Pi Zi. After all, he was not even as good as Dian Jue. He could do whatever he wanted as long as he paid enough tribute.

As a result, he became a viscount, but he still had to be used as a guard, which was really frustrating!

"You have to create your own future." Liwu said with a smile, "You can only know who is your rival after trying.

Beibo, with only 2,000 weak tribesmen, united an army of 100,000 and dominated the north. He openly split up the land of Jizhou, and both Yan and Shang acknowledged the existence of Youzhou.

This is enough to prove that as long as you are strong enough, no one can oppose your actions."

These words continued to stimulate Zihu, making him more determined to carry out the subsequent plans.

"My friend, this time, I helped you become Li's family, so you have to help me next time." Zihu's tone was sincere, with a touch of realism.

"Of course." Liwu replied with a smile, "I came back from the north this time because I received an order from the Zhennan General's Mansion. They asked me to give you the manufacturing methods of this set of wooden armor and a set of rattan armor."

"Wooden armor? What is that?" Zihu asked curiously.

"The wooden armor is a type of armor specially designed for use in mountains and forests that was developed by the State of Yan based on the conditions of the mountains and forests.

Wooden armor is made of spliced ​​armor, made by overlapping wood and ceramics and tying them with ropes. It can effectively save the use of bronze and turn the bronze into a killing axe as much as possible.

The rattan armor is made of rattan made of tung oil, which can turn unused rattan into an invulnerable defensive weapon. Not only is the rattan armor light, but it can also prevent people from sinking when swimming, but it is not very warm, but it is very suitable for use on the Huai River.

After all, where we are, we are surrounded by rivers and forests, so whether it is lamellar armor or rattan armor, it is easy to obtain materials and make them."

After Liwu finished speaking, he had two armors brought in from outside.

Zihu quickly stood up, studied it carefully, and even chopped continuously with an axe. The rattan armor could block most of it, but the wooden armor was not so good.

But at least with these two skills, his chances of winning on the battlefield in the future will be greatly increased!
"Good, good, good! That's great!" Zihu said excitedly, "Next, I'll have to trouble you, my friend, to teach my craftsmen!"

"can."

Watching Liwu go down, the excitement on Zihu's face gradually disappeared.

The relationship between him and Liu is more of a relationship of exploitation.

If he did not need a third party to mediate the battlefield so that he could have a way out, he would not easily accept becoming a knife in the hands of the Li family of Yan State.

As for the Li family... Zihu frowned and thought about it. In fact, there were two branch branches of the Yan State in the south.

The Lu family was the territory of Beibo's younger brother Lu Fu. It represented the forces of Yan State that were subservient to Yan Shang, and was also a bridge of communication between the two.

As a result, Lu's father married a noble lady named Zi, which was considered the result of the marriage alliance.

But another branch, the Li family of Li Bing.

The development of this lineage is quite peculiar, that is, they adopted the practice of adopting sons.

Li Bing actually had a son, but he did not choose him as his heir. Instead, he selected his adopted son from among the tribes and slaves who had old ties with him or who had submitted to Li's command.

Li Bing had more than a hundred adopted sons, all of whom served as Li Bing's personal guards, clerks, and ministers.

Through the father-son relationship and the Yan State's unique arrangement of gaining a surname by making meritorious contributions, he easily expanded his Li family to an enormous size.

In Yanzhou, the Li family has more than 10,000 people.

By recruiting people of the same clan, Li family put together a state of more than 10,000 people in a very short time, and it was located in the territory of Yanzhou, which was really a great help to his sons' future.

This is also the reason why after learning that Liu was from the Li family, Zihu did not take much action, but instead treated him as a brother.

It can only be said that everyone in Yan State is talented. As long as they let go of the pride of their aristocratic bloodline, their development momentum will far exceed what other clans can imagine.

"I still need to be tempered!" Zihu sighed, and sent someone to send a message to the south, telling King Geng of Shang to prepare well.

Next, he would block the Liyang Mountains and deal with King Shang and.

Delay as long as possible, but make sure the food supply is good.

Three days later, when Zihu relied on the mountain terrain to fight against King Shang, the south sent over a hundred bronze spears, more than three hundred slaves, and a large amount of food.

Obviously, for the South, time is of the essence.

If Li Yang can delay, then of course he will delay in Li Yang.

The longer the better!

However, when these supplies came in, Liwu immediately asked for a portion of them to speed up the replacement of local combat forces with equipment.

Moreover, the tactical methods were reorganized according to the drill manual of the Yan State.

Zihu even arrived at the martial arts arena in person, gathered the 300 slaves that had been sent to him, and communicated with them. He also promised that as long as the slaves agreed to cooperate with him and kill one of the opposing warriors, they would have a chance to escape.

In the Shang Dynasty, the nobles were in charge of war, so the warriors fighting on the battlefield were all famous for their achievements.

As long as we can chop off their heads, it will not only shock the Shang clan, but also further consume their strength.

Once the fighters are demoted to a lower level, it means that the intensity of the war will increase exponentially.

For the Shang Dynasty, which was dominated by aristocrats, it would be difficult to fully replenish them if too many aristocrats died. At that time, there would most likely be a shortage of aristocrats and a decline in overall combat effectiveness.

But for Zihu, slaves were consumables. Once they were used up, they were gone. Anyway, his father was in Pengcheng and could get more slaves from the south.

As long as Pengcheng is not lost, the logistics will still be there.

As long as the logistics are there, there will be no shortage of slaves.

Now he can select three hundred, next time he can have five hundred, one thousand, or even more.

"Boom boom boom——"

Beneath the mountains of Liyang, war drums are thundering!

After three days of silence, soldiers began to join the battle! (End of this chapter)
