Li Shimin frowned and pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out thoroughly.

He looked at the messenger again and asked: "Although my sister has a heroic personality, she never does things without aim. Since she supports that brat collecting scrap metal, there must be some benefit in it, right?"

Without waiting for the messenger to speak, he said again: "Their collection of scrap iron has attracted even you scouts. Obviously the benefits are huge, otherwise they would never be able to attract you old soldiers. If I were to

If Wang’s guess is correct, this matter of collecting scrap metal may be related to the military system, right?”

"Reporting to Your Highness, it is indeed true!"

But the messenger suddenly reached into his waist and carefully took off something. Judging from his meticulous movements, it was clear that he regarded the items on his waist as treasures.

The thing was wrapped in a cloth roll, which was obviously taken care of to the extreme.

After he took off the things around his waist, he gently opened the outer cloth roll, and then caressed her back and forth as if facing his wife. Then he reluctantly reached out and handed it to Li Shimin, saying: "Your Highness, look, this is called

Three-edged military thorn."

"Three-sided military thorn?"

Li Shimin looked slightly confused and reached out to take the thing.

Then, he lowered his head and watched carefully.

The messenger carefully took two steps forward and explained excitedly: "Your Highness, look, this thing is very strong. It is two feet and three feet long. It is thick at the bottom and thin at the top. There are blood-letting grooves on both sides. As long as it pierces the body, it will be a

The blood hole is actually a sharp weapon in hand-to-hand combat, and the only magic weapon for scouts and spies."

In fact, he didn't need to elaborate. Li Shimin's eyes were already shining. Li Shimin was a man who fought almost every day during the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty. He only took a few glances at this three-sided military thorn, and he had already discovered the power and viciousness of this thing.

The top of this thing is extremely sharp, and there are three blood-letting grooves on both sides. As the messenger said, if it pierces the body, it will be a blood hole.

At this time, everyone present had forgotten about collecting scrap metal, and almost everyone got up and came over, especially the leading generals, who all had shock in their eyes.

Li Shimin suddenly raised his head, shouted softly at the door, and said: "Bring me a sheep quickly."

There was a guard outside who immediately agreed and quickly brought in a strong ram.

Li Shimin suddenly took two steps forward, waved his hand and stabbed fiercely. There was only a "puff" sound, and the military thrust went straight to the end. Everyone present trembled, and several generals subconsciously swore harsh words.

Tiehanhan Liu Hongji squeezed up from the crowd and shouted with urgency: "Pull it out, pull it out quickly, His Highness King Qin, don't just plug it in. Pull it out and let everyone see if this thing is powerful or not."

These words were quite vulgar, and everyone glared at him. However, Liu Hongji had no idea, and still shouted: "Pull it out, pull it out quickly..."

"Nima!"

Finally, someone couldn't help it any longer, and punched the guy in the face, which immediately gave Liu Hongji a black eye. However, the guy still yelled, "Your Highness, please pull it out quickly."

Li Shimin's face twitched a few times, and he really wanted to slap this guy to death, but he also knew that Liu Hongji was born rough, and even if he became a general, he would still talk a lot about the market.

He pretended not to hear Liu Hongji's chirping, but looked solemnly at the writhing ram, suddenly stretched out his hand, grasped the triangular thorn, and gently pulled it out.

But when I heard a soft popping sound, it was so subtle that I couldn't hear it clearly.

There was no scene of hot blood spurting out, only a trickle of blood was seen. Although it was a trickle, it was continuous. Everyone stared at the big sheep intently, and found that a small pool of sheep's blood gradually gathered on the ground.

The big sheep kept flopping, but it didn't struggle particularly. Obviously, the pain caused by the three-sided army spurs was not too strong, so the big sheep's struggle and flopping were not strong either.

However, Da Yang's energy and energy continued to languish.

After only a dozen short breaths, the big sheep lay down on the ground withered.

Everyone was frightened and looked at each other with shocked expressions.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Short blades connected together, a sharp assassination weapon. This thing is a perfect match for the scout army. No wonder you two praise Gu Tianya so much..."

He had just finished speaking, and suddenly changed his words, as if he was shocked: "No, this thing can be used by more than just scouts. For example, city guards can also be equipped by everyone. Once the enemy climbs the city wall, both sides will

In hand-to-hand combat, this object is extremely sharp and can be said to be fatal when stabbed. The most valuable thing is that it is extremely light in weight, which can save a lot of physical strength and endurance of the person fighting. For example, if the sword is used to kill people, ordinary soldiers

It can swing a hundred swords at most, and it can only be used like a soldier holding a spear to defend against the enemy, and it can only be stabbed two to three hundred times at most. However, this three-sided military thorn consumes almost no effort!"

It takes almost no effort, wouldn't it be possible to keep fighting with this thing?

This is simply a peerless weapon for hand-to-hand combat at the top of the city!

The messenger was full of pride and suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, you only thought about defending the city, but you did not think about attacking the city. If we board the enemy's city, we will also start a hand-to-hand battle..."

Li Shimin's expression suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help blurting out: "That's right, it's true."

He suddenly looked at the messenger, slightly surprised and said: "How can you think further than this king?"

The messenger suddenly became nervous and said: "This is what Mr. Gu taught us!"

"Is it Gu Tianya again?"

Li Shimin's face froze, and his face was longer than a donkey's.

Since ancient times, the uncle-in-law has not liked his brother-in-law very much. Don’t expect me to praise him for being a favor to my little cabbage.

At this time, in the meeting hall of Tiance Mansion, all the generals were eagerly looking at the three-sided military thorn. Suddenly Liu Hongji stretched out his hand and snatched the three-sided military thorn.

This guy's face was full of shamelessness, and he didn't care about playing rogue in front of Li Shimin. He just heard him grunting: "Your Highness, King Qin, I'll take a look at this thing first, and I'll return it to you in a few days. I'll see if I can get people to do it."

Imitation.”

Obviously, he wants to.

Not only did he want it, but other generals also wanted it, but they were too shy to do something like Liu Hongji's. The most important thing was that Li Shimin was very strict in running the army, and the generals generally did not dare to take drastic measures.

, only two bastards, Liu Hongji and Cheng Yaojin, never paid much attention to military law.

However, Li Shimin seemed to acquiesce and did not punish people like Liu Hongji and Cheng Yaojin.

But after Liu Hongji snatched the triangular thorn, he immediately held it in his hand like a treasure, as if he was afraid of being taken away, and his eyes were full of vigilance.

Everyone snorted, angrily feeling that he had taken advantage of him.

On the contrary, the messenger looked indifferent and suddenly whispered to Liu Hongji: "General Liu, this thing cannot be copied. Mr. Gu once said that he is the only one in the world who can make it."

"fart!"

Liu Hongji obviously didn't believe what the young scout said, and directly glared and scolded: "Don't treat me like a fool. Is there any weapon in the world that cannot be imitated? Even if it is a thousand-refined treasure Hengdao, blacksmiths can beat it even if they are ruthless.

It just wastes some time to make it. It takes five or six years to make a Thousand Refined Horizontal Sword."

The messenger looked helpless, but his tone was full of pride, and he said again: "Don't believe it, this thing cannot be copied, because it is not made of wrought iron, but specially smelted fine steel."

"Steel?"

This is another brand new vocabulary.

Everyone present was startled, and Li Shimin's eyes visibly flickered a few times.

Liu Hongji looked curious, and suddenly turned his big hairy monkey face towards the messenger, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell us, what is fine steel?"

Just when the messenger was about to speak, he heard Li Shimin suddenly say, "I'm afraid it's because of the scrap metal collection."

Everyone was stunned again, and Liu Hongji couldn't help but blurt out, "Could it be that those broken iron pots and farm tools were turned into the fine steel used to make these three-edged military spurs?"

Everyone stared at the messenger, expecting him to confirm the big guy's guess.

Sure enough, the messenger nodded slowly and said, "Yes!"

After saying this word, he spoke again and said: "Mr. Gu from Gujia Village hired people to help him build four large furnaces... Each furnace is as tall as a person and is specially used for smelting.

The fuel he used for the scrap iron was a strange black stone. However, the burning temperature was far beyond that of ordinary charcoal. The collected scrap iron was turned into molten iron, and after adding some special black powder, it became

Steel!"

As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva and said with admiration on his face: "After scrap iron is turned into fine steel, it becomes magical. Not only can it make three-edged military spurs, but it can also forge horizontal swords and sharp blades. You can't even imagine that horizontal swords.

The manufacturing no longer requires craftsmen to hammer it over and over again. It only needs to melt the fine steel again, pour it into a special sand mold, and after cooling in the open air, it will be a horizontal knife..."

Cross sword!

It was the most elite weapon in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Each horizontal sword had to be crafted over and over again by craftsmen, so the output was extremely low and ordinary soldiers could not equip it.

You must be at least a personal guard or above in the army to be eligible to get a horizontal sword. If you are a local military attache, you must be a county lieutenant to get one.

Everyone looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Li Shimin suddenly spoke again and asked urgently: "Is this new Hengdao as sharp as the Hengdao in the army?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment, then asked: "How many Lianhengdao are you referring to?"

Li Shimin thought about it for a moment, then hesitantly asked: "How about fifty refinements?"

The fifty-refined horizontal sword is a sharp weapon that can only be owned by the general's personal guard.

Unexpectedly, the messenger slowly shook his head and said: "It's far more than that."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Where is the Hundred Refiners?"

One hundred refinements, this is a qualification that only a general in the army can have, and only after he has achieved military merit can he be rewarded.

Unexpectedly, the messenger shook his head again and said without hesitation: "It's still far more than that."

hiss!

Everyone gasped.

Liu Hongji suddenly grabbed the messenger's shoulder and asked fiercely: "Are you trying to make everyone happy? Can that thing be better than a Qianren-level Hengdao?"

Each thousand-refined horizontal sword takes five or six years. It requires an experienced blacksmith to beat it every day and constantly knock out the impurities in the wrought iron. Only in this way can a horizontal sword be made.
