Chapter 440 Weapon
But it is said that after Zhao Zhen reprimanded Wang Lun and Gao Qiao, he asked: "Yang Tengjiao, have you visited?"
After Wang Lun heard this, he quickly replied: "My lord, since Xu Rongfu said that, as soon as he returned to the county, his subordinates asked people to inquire. Yang Tengjiao is now in Yancunpu Township, making a living by blacksmithing."
< br>
"The lower official also found out that Yang Tengjiao, as Xuzhi County said, has extraordinary physical strength and is good at spear and stick martial arts. He often uses a gold-dipped ax in front of the door to perform martial arts to attract guests. He is also able to read and write. A high-ranking official, Do you want someone to invite him? ”
Zhao Zhen looked at the sky and asked, "How long does it take to get to Yancunpu Township from the county?"
"My lord, Yancunpu Township is nearby. Hurry up and we'll be there in a quarter of an hour."
Zhao Zhen said: "In that case, please send someone to invite Yang Tengjiao quickly. Today I will treat Yang Tengjiao to a banquet." It's not that Zhao Zhen didn't want to go there in person to express his importance. But since he was promoted to magistrate, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Xiao Rang and others have all advised Zhao Zhen not to be as friendly as before and lack prestige.
Now Zhao Zhen commands a state, with hundreds of generals under his command, who can decide life or death with a single word. Zhao Zhen's reputation in the world has long been widely known, and internally, he should maintain his prestige, so that he can be a good representative of the herdsmen.
That night, Zhao Zhen met Yang Tengjiao recommended by Xu He in the county government office. He was a tall man with a green-black face and sparkling eyes.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen offered a seat, and then asked: "Strong man, I heard Xu Rongfu say, you are so skilled in martial arts, why don't you participate in the state martial arts competition?"
After hearing this, Yang Tengjiao stood up and replied: "My lord, I am a villain with a rough temperament. I am not qualified to be an official, so I have not been accepted for the examination."
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Xu Rongfu has great praise for you. Moreover, the military has always spoken with military merit, and there are many people who are straightforward."
After hearing this, Yang Tengjiao quickly fell to the ground and said, "Young men have often heard that the prime minister is looking for talented people, but they are vulgar and dare not come. Now that the big officials are paying attention, I am willing to do my best."

Zhao Zhen helped Yang Tengjiao up and said: "Since brothers are willing to join the army, they must also show off their martial arts skills, so that they can convince the public."
Yang Tengjiao said: "I am willing to obey my husband's instructions."
That night, accompanied by all the heroes in the army, Zhao Zhen hosted a banquet in honor of Yang Tengjiao.
At the banquet, Zhao Zhen praised Kong Changsheng and Kong Weisheng a lot: "Sure enough, a tiger father has no dog sons. I will remember the contribution of your two brothers in my heart. When you two finish the errand of calculating the land, there is no need to be promoted to a higher position." Say.”
"The weather is cold now, and you two are running around outside. I have two fox fur cloaks for you two to keep out the cold wind."
After hearing this, the two brothers Kong Changsheng and Kong Weisheng hurriedly took the cloak and said thank you: "Thank you very much, sir, for the reward. It was just a fluke that we found it. From now on, we must work hard and live up to the good officials."

On the second day, Yang Tengjiao put on the armor given by Zhao Zhen, mounted his horse, and picked up his axe. On the school field, he turned left and right and used the iron ax in his hand several times.
On the general stage, Zhao Zhen said to Wang Tianba on the side: "Brother, how is Yang Tengjiao's martial arts?"
Wang Tianba said: "My lord, brother Yang Tengjiao has also learned this ax technique from the true. In addition, he is extremely powerful and must be a fierce general on the battlefield."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "There is only one deputy general in each camp of the Ma Army. How about letting him be a deputy general in your camp?"
Wang Tianba was overjoyed and said: "Of course this is good."
On the school field, the onlookers cheered. Zhang Chi, Bazeng, Ji Guang and Lu Duo, who had just surrendered, were all frightened when they saw it.
Zhao Zhen called Ming Jin, summoned Yang Tengjiao to the general station, and said: "Brother Yang is really good at martial arts. Today, thieves are rampant. This is the time for me to employ people. You can serve as the deputy general of the cavalry army [Zuo Yong Cavalry Camp]. How? ”
Yang Tengjiao was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly thanked Zhao Zhen.
Seeing that the two matters in Fan County had been settled, Zhao Zhen said to everyone: "The evil way has been wiped out now, and we have gained a hero like Yang Tengjiao. I am very happy to congratulate you. I am going back home today. Each of the soldiers who participated in the expedition will have a reward."
The sergeant cheered thunderously after hearing this.
On the same day, Zhao Zhen returned to Baishi Manor and wrote a letter, which was sent to Kong Housheng in Yuncheng County the next day. In the letter, he praised Kong Changsheng and Kong Housheng.
Kong Hou read the letter, raised the corner of his mouth, and said to the courier: "It's all good use by the public. The courier will wait a moment. I have a reply. Please send it to me."
With that said, Kong Hou went to the study and wrote a reply.
Zhao Zhen smiled when he received Kong Hou's reply.
On the school field, Zhao Zhen called over Li Kui, Li Gun, and Xiang Chong who were training sergeants.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Three brothers, how is this sergeant's training?" Li Kui patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, sir, I have no other abilities. With these two axes in hand, thousands of troops can go. As long as the sergeant has the courage, , no military formation can be defeated.”
Zhao Zhen laughed and scolded after hearing this: "Then you have to practice well before the sergeant dares to rush into the battle with you."
"My lord, don't laugh at Tieniu. I have no patience with this drill sergeant. Thanks to brothers Li Gun and Xiang Chong." Li Kui said.
Zhao Zhen naturally knew that Li Kui's army was in trouble. He shook his head, pointed at the four Zhang Chi, and said to Li Kui: "I know that the sergeants you and the other three selected are all strong men. I am in Fan County, recruiting I will take these four heroes and send them into your army to become fighting men.”
Li Kui raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Chi and the other four, waving his hands and saying: "No, no. Mr. Sir, his four bamboo pole-like bodies will fall over when the wind blows. How can we fight?"
As he said that, he raised his finger and pointed at Zhang Chi, and then said: "Look at his head, it's not as big as my fist. If I go into battle, wouldn't it make people laugh at me that I have no one in Liangshan?"
After hearing this, Zhang Chi was furious: "You black man, how dare you be rude? Why can't the four masters go into battle? Don't you see the iron rod in my hand? It weighs thirty kilograms. It will hurt you if you touch it, and you will die if you rub it."
Li Kui heard this and screamed strangely: "Come on, come on, let me show you how to use a stick. Maybe you can pick it up and make it immovable."
Zhang Chi didn't answer after hearing this. He raised the iron rod in his hand and used it randomly. After finishing the task, he said to Li Kui: "Hey, black guy, what do you think? Let alone a thirty kilogram iron bar. No matter how heavy it is, it won't move."
Li Kui saw it and took the mixed iron rod from Zhang Chi's hand. The iron rod whirled like the wind in his hand, and he also whirred about it.
Zhang Chi and the other four saw it and said quickly: "Brother, you have real divine power."
Li Kui said: "You still have some strength, so staying with me will be a good helper."
With that said, Li Kui happily said to Zhao Zhen: "Ms. sir, I accept these four brothers."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to Li Kui: "Go, the sergeant of your battalion has practiced hard and practiced well. Maybe you can follow me to Yizhou next year."
After hearing this, Li Kui's eyes lit up and he said, "My lord, it's settled. I haven't been back to the countryside since I fled. Now that I'm a commander, let the countryside take a look."
Zhao Zhen scolded: "Who wants you to return home in fine clothes? If you go to Yizhou, you will also have to fight with Qingzhou thieves."
Li Kui said nonchalantly: "Mr. Sir, you might as well drop by and have a look."
Seeing that Zhao Zhen ignored him, Li Kui continued: "My lord, I have heard about this Black Songjiang many times in Jiangzhou, but now I want to kill him, which is a bit intolerable."
As he spoke, Li Kui said angrily: "The same goes for Black Song Jiang. He is such a good man, but he is also greedy for women. No, the bad thing is in the hands of women."
"Tieniu, your mother asked me to find a marriage with you, but you don't want to get married?" Zhao Zhen asked.
After hearing this, Li Kui's face became even darker and he said: "My brother has not married yet, how can I marry him first? This woman is so good, how can she enjoy drinking and eating meat. My husband, please spare me for the time being. I will capture him alive for my husband." Hei Songjiang, let’s talk again.”
Zhao Zhen said: "Why, if we can't catch Song Jiang, why don't you get married?"
Li Kui shouted: "Ms. sir, any good man who commits the crime of 'sneaking bone marrow' will be ridiculed. Besides, the little girl is so delicate that she can't bear my finger. If you want to find a wife, unless you are a gangster." Fourth sister and Sister-in-law Gu are like this.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen glanced at Li Kui strangely and said, "Okay, since you have an idea, I will find you a woman like this."
Li Kui listened and said nothing. The four of them took Zhang Chi and said goodbye.
Looking at Li Kui who was fleeing, Zhao Zhen laughed.
In the following days, Zhao Zhen followed Gongsun Sheng and learned the [Five Thunder Methods].
Qiao Daoqing, Fan Rui and Zhao Zhen are also gradually learning the Taoist techniques of Flying Sand and Moving Stones, Three Flavors of True Water, Divine Art of War, Imperial Art of War, Praying for Rain and Clearing, Summoning, Oolong Sloughing Bones, and Dai Zong's Armored Horse Technique.
I have learned all kinds of spells and memorized all the taboos. As long as I practice slowly in the future, the power of Taoism will naturally increase.
As for martial arts, Zhao Zhen was also very troubled after learning too much, and it was reflected in Zhao Zhen that he was biting off more than he could chew. Everything is done, everything is sparse.
At the suggestion of Wang Jin and others, Zhao Zhen also built a three-pointed two-edged sword.
This knife is double-edged like a sword and has three points at the head. It can be used as a lock or a shovel. It can be used as a knife, a spear, or a sword. It can split, stir, punch, stab, tease, point, collapse, throw, wrap, and twist. , push, block, each has its own use.
After Zhao Zhen heard this, he asked the weapons supervisor to make a three-pointed two-edged sword first. He figured it out himself, and then asked Shi Jin and Liu Qi for advice.
Sure enough, as Wang Jin said, he has learned too much and is suitable for using this knife.
Since Tang Long was not here, the matter of forging weapons could not be started.
Yang Tengjiao, who was training soldiers in the South Camp, heard about it and volunteered to come over.
Yang Tengjiao said: "My lord, this villain once made a living by forging iron. He forged countless iron tools every day, and even some weapons were forged privately. I am not talented, but I am willing to share my worries for my lord."
Zhao Zhen heard this and said: "Brother Tang Long went to Yizhou. Now the only person in the weapons supervisory department who can cast advanced weapons is Yang Mazi. However, he can only cast first-level weapons. How many levels can you cast? Weapon.”
