The sling is mainly used to protect the head. It is called a semicircular iron sling. There is a sling made of iron sheets at the back to protect the back of the head, cheeks and neck. The sling created by Master Pu has added a copper wing cushion in front, which can protect the bridge of the nose and mouth, and is connected to the sling, forming the shape of an eagle wing.

The shape of the squid sleeve armor is very similar to a short-sleeved pullover, made of iron sheets, which can protect the shoulders and underarms.

The mat of tanned animal skins under the iron sheets adds a bit of protection. It is said that only Luoyang's imperial guards can be equipped with this armor, and even the county soldiers under Niu Fu have not been equipped yet.

Dong Qi had seen the squid sleeve armor before, but he felt that Master Pu's squid sleeve armor seemed to be better.

Excellent protective gear, coupled with corresponding weapons, is the basis for building an elite horse. Dong Qi watched a TV series in his previous life, which said that an elite army must have their souls. Dong Qi also wanted to do this, but eating food must be eaten at a bite to create a soul for the army is not the most important thing at the moment.

For Dong Qi, it is the top priority to create a team of people he ideally has.

At the same time, any small progress will produce cross-age meaning. Dong Qi is very clear about this, and he also knows that the small progress comes from the tireless creation of craftsmen. When countless small progresses gather together, it will transform from quantitative change to qualitative change. This requires a process, and Dong Qi is patient.

To appease and win over the hearts of the craftsmen, Dong Qi ordered Teng Lier to summon the Baima Qiang soldiers and strengthen the guards of the generals.

He brought Pu Yuan to the military tent and asked Pei Yuanshao and Dong Qi to protect him outside the tent.

"Pu Yuan, now you can speak freely. What rewards do you want? Just tell me."

"Master... Please look at this first."

Pu Yuan opened the iron box and took out a roll of bamboo slips from it. Dong Qi took it, opened it and took a look. It recorded the methods of making various utensils, but there were no graphics, just the most basic structural principle description.

"This is……"

"Lord, our family has been craftsmen for generations and lives in Guanghan. You also know that in terms of sword making, Shu County has always been the best. My ancestors have been engaged in craftsmanship since the Spring and Autumn Period and have experienced the efforts of countless generations of ancestors..."

"Pu Yuan, I'm not interested in knowing the history of your ancestors. I just want to know what this is!"

Dong Qi's eyes were bright and he stared at Pu Yuan.

Pu Yuan took a deep breath, "Lord, my ancestors once learned art from Gongshu, and later based on their ancestral craftsmanship, they left behind this volume of "Pumen Kaogonglu". In the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor burned books and buried scholars, and my ancestors were also affected... The catalog has been completely destroyed, leaving only this volume of text. Yuan liked the art of craftsmanship since he was a child, so he asked his lord to reward him so that Yuan could practice according to the principles in "Kaogonglu". But Yuan didn't know what items would be created, and he might even spend a thousand gold, but in the end he gained nothing... I wonder if the lord was willing?"

Dong Qi looked at Pu Yuan and gently rubbed his nose.

"Don't your father know about this "Kaogong Lu"?"

"The ancestors once said that craftsmanship requires not only craftsmanship, but also talent and spirituality. My father's craftsmanship can be said to be exquisite, but... Therefore, this "Kaogonglu" must be useless in his hands. After Yuan was born, his grandfather gave this volume of "Kaogonglu" to Yuan after three years of observation. For five years, even as a slave in Baima Qiang, Yuan never stopped studying it. The scholars and officials all thought that craftsmanship was a vulgar husband. Seeing that the lord valued it, he dared to make a request... If Yuan could successfully test it, it would definitely be helpful to his lord's future great cause."

"Great cause? What big cause can I have?"

Dong Qi smiled, "What I ask is for is that the family can last for a long time... But since I said that as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you. I can do this to the best of my ability. You can try it and report it if you need it."

"Thank you, lord, Yuan."

"Pu Yuan, I can understand your thoughts. But I think that based on this volume of text, I am afraid... if you are willing, you can visit the world's skilled craftsmen. Anyone with a skill will definitely help you. When you succeed, you may have greater gains when you study the "Kaogong Lu". If you are willing, I can support you in studying."

Pu Yuan was shocked when he heard this. After a long time, he stood up and knelt on the ground.

"When I heard the lord's words, Yuan Fang realized... Yuan wished to travel around the world and visit skilled craftsmen to seek skills. If he succeeds in the future, he will definitely live up to his lord's awakening and support today."

"Okay, since you have this idea, let me tell your father and prepare. I will send someone to send you money tomorrow, and you can set off at any time."

"Thank you lord!"

Pu Yuan stood up and lowered his body to leave the military tent.

Dong Qi also walked out of the military tent and asked someone to lead the horse over, "Yuan Shao, Dong Qi... By the way, you call Dong Zhao again, and you three will follow me. Teng Li'er, I am optimistic about the general's camp. If there is anything, I will send someone to the big house to find me."

The big house is known as Dong Qi, a mansion built in the ranch.

Unlike the Dong Mansion in Lintao City, the Dong Mansion in the pasture has only a row of houses, which are now mainly lived by the old lady.

Pei Yuanshao and others responded to the order and followed Dong Qi to the big house.

When the four of them arrived at the big house, Lu Yi and Dong Tie also happened to dismount at the door of the big house.

"Luyi, give me the text you copied, and go to grandma's place to bring together the text you copied a few days ago."

Lu Yi responded, untied the package immediately, took out a stack of papers, and placed it in Dong Qi's hand.

"Xiao Tie, please help me watch outside the house later."

Dong Tie nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, Xiao Tie understands."

Dong Qi brought Pei Yuanshao and the other two to his study room in the big house. He sat down first, then waved his hand to signal the three of them to sit down too.

After a while, Lu Yi walked in with a package and placed it on the table in front of Dong Qi.

"Young Master, this is something grandma created. If you say it is handed over to you, you will understand what it means."

A dark iron plate, the size of a palm.

On the front is a pattern of a giant swinging a hammer, and on the back is written with three ancient gold and stone seal scripts: Troll.

Dong Qi was stunned with the iron card.

What does grandma mean when someone makes this iron card?

Giant swung hammers... The ancients called hammers, also called vertebras. Whether it is myths or legends, there are not many people who use hammers.

"Does grandma have anything else?"

Lu Yi whispered: "Grandma said: The troll swung the golden hammer and everyone in the world was shocked. Three thousand soldiers under her sects will be the Luoyang City."

Dong Qi suddenly realized... Grandma had clearly seen his intentions and even gave him a name.

The troll swung his golden hammer, and everyone in the world was shocked...

Dong Qi laughed, "Three thousand soldiers under his disciples are here to be the Heluoyang City... Trolls, Trolls, are really good names!"

"Lu'er, go back and tell grandma, and you'll say that Ah Chou already understands it!"

Lu Yi agreed with a smile, turned around and left the study. Dong Qi opened the package and looked at the paper full of words.

"I plan to establish the three armies, and there are three military books. Today I will ask you three to take on the heavy responsibility."

Pei Yuanshao and the other two heard it, and they felt their blood boiling.

He shouted, "We are willing to die for the lord..."

"This is a military letter to the infantry army, and I will give you to Yuan Shao... I'll recruit a thousand people and choose strong people to train them. If you become an army within one year, I will report to my father and let you be the chief lieutenant, would you like?"

"Pei Yuanshao dares not to serve him!"

Dong Qi picked up another military book, "Dong Zhao, I have a military book for the cavalry, I will give it to you... I will also lead a thousand troops, and those who are proficient in bows and horses can be selected. Similarly, if you become an army within one year, I will report to my father and be promoted to you as a cavalry commander."

"Here!"

"Dong Qi!"

"The last one will be here!"

Dong Qi seemed very hesitant and looked at Dong Qi up and down, "Can I believe you?"

Dong Qi was stunned, "Lord, Dong Qi wished to be born and die for the lord, and never betray him. If he disobeyed this, there would be thunder that day."

The ancients attached great importance to oaths and did not easily make oaths.

Dong Qi stood up, walked to Dong Qi, and helped him up with both hands, "You will be as short as I can, but I also believe in you... Seeing you, I feel like I have seen my brother-in-law... I believe in you, and I hope you will not let my trust down."

As he said that, he picked up the last volume of military books and placed them in Dong Qi's hand.

"This is the Fubo Iron Cavalry Army. I was thinking about how to form it before. Until I saw the horse armor made by Pu Yuan in the General Battalion... You can go to Lu Yi, withdraw enough money from her, and acquire the Liangjiao of Dayuan, the Western Regions. I will give you two years, hoping that you can build an iron cavalry army that satisfies me, and you are willing to take on this responsibility."

"Ah, lord... I swear to fulfill my lord's trust to death."

Dong Qi stood up straight, held the military book, looked at Pei Yuanshao, and then looked at Dong Zhao.

The three of them suddenly smiled bitterly, "Lord, there is one more thing."

"What's up?"

"This, this... I am not able to read!"

Dong Qi smiled and said, "I have considered this. From today on, you will learn to read with Lu'er. If you don't understand anything in the military books, you can ask Lu'er. And... If you can't pass Lu'er's test, you will not be able to lead the army."

After the three of them looked at each other, "Thank you lord!"

Pei Yuanshao hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask softly: "Lord, what should this man be named after it is formed?"

"Trolls, this army is called Trolls!"
