After making up his mind, he said to the officers: "Everyone, I still have something to deal with. You don't have to follow me all the time, go whatever you should do."

The officers were a little surprised. They were all defeated soldiers and were able to save their lives by running quickly. When they heard that their superiors had appointed a new Quhou to come, they were nervous, fearing that the newly appointed Quhou would attack them and use their heads to establish their authority to shock the soldiers who had been disbanded. If the newly appointed Quhou wanted to use their heads for use, they would have no choice. After all, escaping at the last minute would be a death penalty, and abandoning the head coach would be a death penalty among the death penalty. Li Rui would kill him.

They were justified and no one could plead. Just now, Li Rui went to inspect the armory, and their hearts were raised to their throats, fearing that this Quhou Quhou would find any mistakes and take advantage of the problem, so he won it on the spot. When Li Rui took them to the school ground and showed them his jaw-dropping archery skills, they had basically concluded that this Quhou wanted to choose one or two lucky ones from among them as the chicken to kill for the monkey to see, so that it would be kill for the soldiers!

Who would have thought that the new official had not finished his first fire in office and asked them to do what they should do?

What is the operation?

Li Ruicai didn't care what they thought, and after he finished speaking, he went to work on his own with a yellow crossbow.

Xu Guo watched the guy humming an untuned song and walked away happily, and couldn't help but frown: "What does he mean?"

Cao Hu was also quite confused: "He took me to the school ground to show off his tactics. Isn't it to establish his authority? He left me halfway through his authority and waited for me to leave? What exactly did he want to do?"

Xiang Hong said: "This Quhou...is very interesting, unlike those noble families."

Xu Guo snorted and said, "Don't be too happy too early. Who knows what he was thinking about? Maybe he was deliberately showing kindness to us. When I was not prepared, I suddenly took us down and killed us to establish my authority!"

Everyone was shocked and deeply convinced.

The Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties were a period of strong rise of aristocratic families. The influence of aristocratic families penetrated into every corner of the empire, and the children of aristocratic families were continuously transported to the army and the officials, firmly grasping every part of the power. The starting point of these aristocratic families was much higher than that of the poor children. A Quhou who commanded four or five hundred soldiers may be the biggest official that most poor children in the army could be able to be in this life, but this is just the starting point of most children of aristocratic families. You expect that the children of aristocratic families will also be small soldiers like the poor children.

Start, climb up step by step? Dream! Because the starting point is too high and the backing is too strong, many children of aristocratic families are extremely arrogant and arrogant, and even do not take the lives of the soldiers seriously. They beat and scold them at all, and they will chop them up directly. Anyway, with the family being protected, can the superiors still risk offending their family to be fair for a few worthless military men? Zhou Lan, the youngest among them, also had six years of experience in the army. They have seen a lot of arrogant styles of those aristocratic families, and they don’t believe that there will be such a good Shangguan!

So be careful, maybe that Li and others are holding their ultimate moves!

Li and others were not holding their ultimate moves. He just found his own residence first, put his luggage, and placed his horses. He immediately found saws, chisels, and other tools, and started working hard.

He first sawed a small piece of hardwood board, saw and axe together, and quickly turned it into a buttstock shape and polished it smoothly... The weapons he used were of course beautiful. After doing it, he took the crossbow support to gesture to the end of the crossbow arm, thinking it would be too difficult to directly open the mortise connection interface at the end of the crossbow arm, so he had to remove the grip and then move the chisel. It was troublesome! So he found a small piece of log, saw a piece from above, and made it square, carefully chiseled a rectangular mortise interface in the middle, then pressed it at the end of the crossbow arm and nailed it with iron nails, then applied a layer of glue to the mortise connection interface, and wedged the crossbow support into it with force.

The bonding between the tenon and joints is extremely tight, and it can be called tight seams. After the glue is dry, he pulled it hard and couldn't pull it out at all, and the effect is satisfactory.

He kept doing it and then chiseled an interface one foot in front of the machine and made a grip to install it. After finishing it, he tried it. It was very good. It was much easier to hold and aim, especially with a crossbow support, which could be used to hold the shoulders, and its stability was greatly enhanced, which was like a tiger's wings.

He ran to the school ground and tried to shoot a few more arrows, which greatly satisfied him: basically, arrows and arrows were inseparable from the Nine Rings.

After finishing the crossbow, he started to deal with the ring-headed knife in his hand.

Pei Wei saw the ring-headed knife that he picked up from the battlefield and said it was cast by Bailian Steel, and the iron was cut like mud. It was a rare treasure knife... When he said these words, the guy kept drooling, and his envy was beyond words. I guess he would be willing to ask him to exchange his wife for this knife as long as Li Rui was willing to do so. However, this treasure knife that was hard to buy in Pei Wei's eyes has a big flaw in Li Rui's eyes:

No knife damage.

You read that right, it is really not. Not only did there be no swords from the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, even in the Tang Dynasty, there was no one-handed sword, so that when people in this period put the sword in the sheath, they would often stuff a piece of knife handle into the sheath together, which was to "bury the sheath". In fact, it is not difficult to get a knife. Anyone who knows how to do it can do it. The reason why no one has ever done it is probably because they think it is unnecessary. After all, the main function of the knife is to protect the hand, so that the hand should not be too strong when stabbing people. The hand slides forward to the blade, and several fingers will fall off before they can react. In this period, the knife is mainly chopping and rarely uses stabbing, so it seems a bit unnecessary to install the knife.

But Li Rui didn't feel it was unnecessary. He was afraid of pain, not to mention falling a few fingers, even if a bloody hole was cut into his palm, he felt that the pain was too painful, so the knife must be arranged!

So he ran to the craftsman's office, found two old craftsmen to start charcoal fire, found some metal, and worked hard for a while, knocked out the knife and installed it. Due to time limitation, there was no way to make any modifications, such as carving some patterns, the knife was not beautiful, but after installing it, there was a clear boundary between the hilt of the ring-headed knife and the blade body. Even if you stab it on the wall with all your strength, you don't have to worry about sliding your hand to the blade and dropping a few fingers inexplicably.

The craftsmen quickly realized the use of this knife and exclaimed: "Qu Hou is really smart! With this thing, he will never hurt his hands when stabbing someone with a knife. Although this thing is small, it is of great use!"

Li Rui said: "It is mainly to protect your fingers when stabbing hard, and to prevent the enemy's sword from being cut against the blade to cut off the fingers of the knife holder. It is useless. By the way, you are idle anyway, so why not help me hit some small objects?"

The craftsman asked: "I wonder what objects Quhou wants to create?"

Li Rui said, "Wait, I'll take the horse over." Then he ran to the stable, led his two horses that he snatched from the Hu people, measured the size of the horse's hooves in front of the craftsman, and then based on this size, he drew a U-shaped thing: "That's it, there are several holes to make it easier to nail nails."

When the craftsmen saw it, it was not easy. They immediately started and beat him up in just a short while.

Li Rui took the finished product and gestured to the horse's hooves. Hey, just now, the skills of these craftsmen are really good. He happily called the groom over, asked him to comfort the horses, and went on the battle himself. Regardless of the struggle of the war horses, he nailed these iron things to the horse's hooves...

Okay, his horse has a horseshoe. This thing can not only greatly enhance the grip ability of the horseshoe, but also provide good protection for the horseshoe. When the war horses gallop, they no longer have to worry about stepping on sharp stones and causing the horses to break, or the hoofs are rotten and fall off due to long-term contact with sewage, causing the whole war horse to be scrapped! The two horses were quite uncomfortable at first, and kept sniffing, but then they found that this thing did not seem to have any effect on him, and soon became quiet.

Li Rui originally wanted the craftsmen to make a few pairs of stirrups and spurs for him. Without these, riding a horse would always be uncomfortable. However, thinking that Luoyang is now as dangerous as a stack of eggs, the Hu army may attack at any time. Although stirrups and spurs are inconspicuous, they are epoch-making things that can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of cavalry. Once they fall into the hands of the Hu people, the combat effectiveness of the Hu people's iron cavalry will increase sharply, and they will lead Jin like this now. Maybe they will be taken away by others in a wave, and it is impossible to even have a peaceful Jiangnan...

So let it go, get two pairs of wooden stirrups first to make up the numbers, and it is not too late to get metal stirrups and spurs when they are safe in the future.

Stirrups are not a high-tech thing. These craftsmen are famous for their skillfulness and quickly prepared them for him. After installing the stirrups, Li Rui happily led the horse to the schoolyard, turned over and ran on the horse, and ran on the schoolyard. It felt much better than yesterday. Yesterday, he temporarily used a rope to make simple stirrups. Although he could borrow some force, this temporary stirrup was not reliable. Now with wooden stirrups, he felt that there was a place to focus on his feet, and riding on the horse was too stable.

While riding happily, a soldier suddenly came over to report to him: "Marquis Li Qu, Marquis Pei Qu is here to visit!"

Li Rui was slightly stunned. Didn’t Pei Wei take office early in the morning? Now this official fan should be busy dealing with the soldiers with disarrayed military discipline, and he was so busy that he was still in the mood to come to him? Could it be that he had already put the veterans with disarrayed discipline and low morale on the ground?
