Chapter 15

"Big brother, why are you moved again? You are my big brother, you will be my big brother for life!"

Zhang Fei said carelessly.

Liu Bei nodded,

"Good, the refined iron sent by Zhang and Su is very good; let's go to Zhang the Blacksmith in Zhuoxian to forge weapons that are easy to use!"

Zhang's Blacksmith Shop,

Liu Bei felt a bit emotional inside,

"I didn't expect that a small blacksmith shop would forge divine weapons like the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the Serpent Spear!"

He said to Zhang the Blacksmith,

"Old Zhang, you are very good!"

Zhang the Blacksmith suddenly had tears in his eyes,

"I, old Zhang, actually received praise from an imperial clansman! I haven't lived this life in vain!"

He moved a pitch-black stone out from a cabinet on the side,

"Master Liu, this is my ancestral meteorite iron; I've always been reluctant to use it, but this time I'll melt it into the weapons of the heroes!"

Liu Bei didn't expect that by casually praising Zhang the Blacksmith, he would get meteorite iron for free?

Zhang Fei slapped his thigh hard,

"Big brother is truly destined by heaven; weapons forged from meteorite iron are all divine weapons!"

"This old Zhang is famous for being stingy, but this time he took the initiative to offer the meteorite iron!"

Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu nodded secretly; this big brother was indeed worth swearing brotherhood with!

Liu Bei patted Zhang the Blacksmith on the shoulder,

"Old Zhang, the three of us brothers will definitely take the weapons you forged and make a name for ourselves in the world!"

Zhang the Blacksmith's hands were trembling,

"Good, good, I, old Zhang, also have a day to be proud."

He called his sons to work hard to forge the weapons!

The posture felt like they were going to risk their old lives!

Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan were already numb,

Both of them also forged their previous weapons,

Bai Yuekui had a Tang sword!

Hua Mulan forged a ring-pommel saber.

"Kill, kill!"

"Roar!"

Liu Bei spent a few days recruiting a thousand local volunteers and began training them outside the city,

Guan Yu led two hundred men, training with over one hundred and fifty horses, temporarily designated as a cavalry battalion of two hundred.

Zhang Fei had a three-hundred-man infantry battalion, with spears as their main weapons.

Hua Mulan led two hundred archers.

Bai Yuekui led a logistics battalion composed of three hundred soldiers, responsible for the food for the entire camp, construction, etc.

Half a month later,

Liu Bei called everyone into the tent to discuss matters,

"Everyone, we have been training for half a month; how does it feel?"

Zhang Fei said carelessly,

"Big brother, my infantry battalion just needs to see blood!"

Guan Yu cupped his hands,

"Big brother, although the training time is relatively short, I am confident they can already fight on horseback."

Hua Mulan also said,

"The archers are training well; give me another month, and their accuracy will be much higher."

Bai Yuekui indicated that she also needed more time on her side.

Liu Bei waved his hand,

"There's no time; Huang Jin bandit Cheng Yuanzhi is leading fifty thousand Huang Jin soldiers to invade, and Youzhou Governor Liu Yan is in an emergency. We will set off tomorrow to assist Youzhou City."

Bai Yuekui questioned,

"Although the Huang Jin's combat effectiveness isn't great, they still have fifty thousand men, and we only have one thousand, and we've been training for less than a month!"

Zhang Fei said carelessly,

"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid; I'll lead the troops to kill a few rounds, and the Huang Jin chaotic soldiers will collapse without a fight!"

Bai Yuekui... she had already explained many times that she was just Liu Bei's fellow villager, and they just had a good relationship!

Zhang Fei scoffed and muttered 'quietly',

"Is there pure friendship between men and women? Besides, Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan contributed their only two bags of gold; if they aren't admiring my big brother, I really don't know why!"

"And as a girl, sleeping in the open—for whom? Could it be to build merit?"

Guan Yu nodded; third brother was rough but had a fine side, and he had thought this matter through very clearly!

Hua Mulan and Bai Yuekui exchanged a glance, feeling that they were too difficult!

"It's really impossible to explain clearly!"

The two looked at Liu Bei, hoping he would explain.

Liu Bei waved his hand,

"Alright, third brother, don't say some things out loud; just understand it in your heart."

Zhang Fei nodded,

"Big brother, I understand; just keep it in my heart."

Hua Mulan was numb; this was even worse than not explaining!

The Xia Kingdom live broadcast room exploded,

"Zhang Fei's words make so much sense; if this isn't love, what is it!"

"Yes, if we didn't have the God's-eye view, we would also feel that Hua Mulan and Bai Yuekui were pestering Liu Bei."

"The two young ladies are too difficult."

"Do you think something will happen between the three of them later?"

"Who knows, I just hope that in this expedition, Liu Bei's thousand-man ragtag army won't be wiped out."

Youzhou City,

Youzhou Inspector Liu Yu was worried,

"The Huang Jin broke through the commanderies of Jizhou, and Cheng Yuanzhi's fifty-thousand-man army is about to reach the gates of Youzhou City. I only have five thousand weak commandery soldiers in the city; how can I resist!"

Liu Yu had a kind personality and was benevolent in his governance, so his prestige in Youzhou was very high,

However,

he didn't understand military affairs and focused mainly on appeasement; facing this situation, he was truly anxious.
