Carrying the "Mirror of the Sixth Army" presented by Li Jing, Li Zexuan was in a good mood, secretly thinking that this was the crystallization of Li Jing's art of war! Although there are many military books in this era, such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and so on, military books actually have to keep pace with the times. It cannot be said that Li Jing's "Mirror of the Six Arms" is older than "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and other older military books. is better, but the content in "Mirror of the Six Armies" definitely absorbs the wisdom of the ancestors, and also combines the current military system and military formations of the Tang Dynasty, so no matter how you say it, "Mirror of the Six Armies" must be more suitable for this era!
Li Zexuan, who was in a good mood, quickly left Chang'an City on his Dabai. He had to rush over to the workshop before work ended, and then asked the craftsmen to make a rubbing of the "Mirror of the Sixth Army".
This military book was too important. Before leaving, Li Jing repeatedly told him not to leak it to others! You must know that no one will teach the art of war easily, because once someone with evil intentions learns the art of war, it will be a disaster for the country and the people!
If Li Jing hadn't seen that Li Zexuan was a man of great talent, and that Li Zexuan was humble, good at both civil and military affairs, he was half a relative of him. In addition, there was a tense situation between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and war might start at any time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done anything. I will pass "Mirror of the Sixth Army" to Li Zexuan at this time!
Therefore, Li Zexuan would not leave the rubbing of "Mirror of the Sixth Army" to just anyone, he would have to keep an eye on it himself!
"Master Hou! His Royal Highness the King of Wei is looking for you everywhere. It seems there is something urgent!"
Just after leaving Chang'an City and not walking far, a middle-aged man riding a horse came face to face. When the man was about to reach Li Zexuan, he steadily controlled the horse under his crotch, then turned over and bowed to Li Zexuan. Body clasping fists.
"Huh? Gae, what does Qingque want from me?"
Li Zexuan's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice.
The person who came was Duhe.
After the Tianlong Sect was destroyed, the Venerable Du'e was adopted as a domestic slave by Li Zexuan. In order to avoid causing panic among his family, Li Zexuan changed Du'e's name to Jia'e. After a long time, he got used to it. So now he usually calls it Gae instead of Due!
Counting the days, Du E has been a slave of the Hou Mansion for nearly half a month. During this period, Li Zexuan tested Du E many times intentionally or unintentionally, but found that the other party seemed to have really accepted his fate and had no intention of rebellion. Li Zexuan The vigilance against crossing the disaster gradually relaxed.
However, despite this, Li Zexuan did not dare to let Du E stay in the Hou Mansion. On weekdays, Du E actually spent more time in Yunshan Courtyard. Yunshan Mountain was controlled by Mo Huai, a great master in the later stage of the Grandmaster. Even if Du'e is dissatisfied, I'm afraid he can't make any trouble! In any case, Li Zexuan does not dare and will not take risks with his family. He is rarely in the Hou Mansion, so he will not leave Du E alone in the house!
Before Du'e, he was a great monk, but after becoming Li Zexuan's domestic slave, in order to avoid attracting strange eyes when he went out, he usually wore a turban hat on his head when he was outside. He looked a bit like someone outside the Great Wall. The barbarians are coming.
Facing Li Zexuan's inquiry, Du'e shook his head and said, "I don't know, poor monk! Just two quarters of an hour ago, King Wei went to the academy to find the Marquis. After learning that Lord Marquis was not in Yunshan, King Wei ordered the poor monk to The monk went down the mountain to look for the Marquis! King Wei just said that he had urgent matters and asked you to return to the workshop as soon as possible!"
Li Zexuan's heart moved, and he secretly wondered whether there was new progress in the research and development of steam engines? He nodded to Du'e and said, "Okay! Let's go back to the workshop as soon as possible!"
He had originally planned to go to the workshop to make rubbings of military inscriptions, but now he happened to solve Li Tai's matter along the way!
So, the master and the servant, both on horseback and on horseback, galloped down the official road, splashing countless smoke and dust along the way!
… … … … … … … …
"Master, you are finally here! Prince Wei and Uncle Fu are at the steel mill. Go quickly!"
As soon as he arrived at the workshop, Song Xiaosi came up to him. He helped Li Zexuan lead the horse and said hurriedly.
"good!"
Since he had arrived at the workshop, Li Zexuan did not ask in detail. Anyway, he would know what happened in a moment. He was about to step into the workshop door when he suddenly stopped and turned to Song Xiaosi. :
"Xiaosi, you go to the editorial department and ask the craftsman in charge of rubbings to stay off work for a while. I will see him if I have anything to do!"
Li Tai's matter is certainly important, but so is the rubbing of the military book. The contents of this military book may very well save his life on the battlefield in the future!
"Yes! Master!"
Song Xiaosi responded, and then led Dabai to the stable in front of the workshop, where there was good horse grass.
Li Zexuan then walked towards the door.
"Master Marquis, the poor monk is waiting for you outside!"
Du'e cupped his fists and said.
Since he became Li Zexuan's domestic slave, he has not been in this workshop very often. He knows that Li Zexuan's most important secrets are hidden in it. Although he is curious in his heart, it is just curiosity and there is no other reason. Just want to!
Li Zexuan frowned, and after a moment he said: "It doesn't matter! Come in with me!"
Du'e is not only a man of great martial arts, but also has a flexible mind and a variety of methods. If this kind of person can be really loyal, Li Zexuan thinks he can be of great use! So he doesn't mind giving Du'e more "temptations" to test him!
When Du'e heard this, his body suddenly froze. He probably didn't expect that Li Zexuan would take the initiative to let him enter the workshop, but just as he was stunned, Li Zexuan had already walked in. He quickly responded and said: "Yes! Hou! Lord!"
After that, he quickly followed in!
"Qingque, why haven't these leaves turned yet?"
"It's almost here! It should be soon! Manager Zhang, ask someone to make the fire bigger, pump more air in, and let the water boil quickly!"
"okay!"
When Li Zexuan walked into the steelmaking plant, he heard the voices of Li Tai, Uncle Fu and others. The atmosphere seemed a bit solemn. When he looked around, he saw a huge cylindrical furnace standing in the center of the yard, with gears extending from the surface of the furnace. The end of the connecting rod and other transmission mechanisms is connected to a generator made in a workshop. Several shirtless blacksmiths are blowing air into the furnace. Although there is no open flame, Li Zexuan feels a wave of heat coming towards his face!
"It's moving! It's moving! It's spinning! And it's getting faster and faster!"
"It worked! We succeeded!"
At this moment, the connecting rod drove the gear, and the gear drove the generator's wheel belt began to rotate. People in the yard suddenly cheered, and no one noticed Li Zexuan's arrival.
Du'e's eyes widened and he looked at the huge machine in disbelief. He clearly didn't see anyone exerting force on the machine, but why did the machine start spinning on its own? Could this be magic
Recalling the "immortal arts" that he performed on the streets of Chang'an City in order to confuse the people, Du'e's face couldn't help but feel burning pain. Compared with this thought, he performed before Those magical skills can only be regarded as childish!
"Haha! Okay! Okay! Okay! Qingque, you finally succeeded! The Tang Dynasty, and even the whole world will be completely changed because of your invention!"
When Li Zexuan saw that Li Tai's steam engine test was successful, he couldn't help but excitedly stepped forward to touch his hands and laughed.
