Chapter 391
Mrs. Sun quickly borrowed two sets of fine armor made by Shu Han from the palace.
These two sets of fine armor may be what later generations call the cylindrical sleeve armor. The biggest feature of appearance is that it protects the arms and armpits very closely, but the weight has not increased much. The workmanship is very solid, and the Han Dynasty armor style is used, with crimson leather and black fish scale armor pieces.
"This thing really protects against heavy crossbows?"
"A hundred steps away, you can defend against six stone crossbows." Mrs. Sun said, her face not very good. "I tried it with my own hands."
Cao Miao was shocked.
The Six-Stone Crossbow is the most common heavy crossbow among individual soldiers. It is inconvenient to carry more than six stones, and it is usually necessary to use a special crossbow. If the generals of the Shu army are equipped with such sleeve armor, it means that the opponent's sniper is almost useless and their survivability on the battlefield is greatly improved. If all the soldiers of the Shu army can equip such sleeve armor... this battle will not be fought.
Zhuge Liang was not a gift, it was clearly a demonstration.
Cao Miao put down the Jingjiao, reached out and pulled out the battle knife from Ahu's waist, and slashed it down with one knife. "When--" Mars flew everywhere, several pieces of iron armor were cut off, and a hole was made on the leather below, but the entire armor was safe and sound.
Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed. "What kind of knife are you?"
"I bought the sword for the Shu army from the Shu Han envoy Yang Yun, and I bought it for 20,000 yuan a bite." Cao Miao handed the sword to Mrs. Sun and rubbed his hands.
Mrs. Sun took the knife, tried the blade with her fingers, and then bounced her fingers, and the knife roared like a dragon.
Her face became even more ugly.
Cao Miao saw it clearly and knew what Mrs. Sun was thinking, but she still felt it was not enough and added fire. "When I was in Luoyang, Yang Yun said that Zhuge Liang was still improving the crossbow, and he didn't know how to make such progress. Is this person really so smart? He can do anything?"
Mrs. Sun looked around, took a step back, and sat down on the mat. She stood on her knees and said quietly: "He is indeed a genius, a genius who is not born in the world. He governs military affairs and smelting mechanisms, and is omnipotent."
Cao Miao listened for a while and suddenly said, "How is his martial arts?"
Mrs. Sun was stunned, then shook her head and laughed silently. "This is probably the only thing he is not good at."
"Since that's the case, you can send an assassin to kill him." Cao Miao walked to Mrs. Sun, bent down and picked up the battle knife, and slashed it twice. "No matter how smart a dead person is, he is still a dead person. If you can kill Fei Yi, why can't you kill him? Anyway, you have all become enemies."
Mrs. Sun glared at Cao Miao and said nothing. She thought for a while and turned to look at the inner room. "How about that Ge Heng? Is it too wasteful to use it to build a mechanism and carry hot water?"
"Of course we can't just do these small prices? I want to ask him to build a ship? The kind that can go out to sea and resist wind and waves." Cao Miao said. Seeing Mrs. Sun looking at him, she grinned again. "If I can't make it in Wuchang, I'll learn from Xu Fu? Go out to sea."
Mrs. Sun stared at Cao Miao for a long time? She was speechless. She knew that Cao Miao was watching jokes, but she had no choice. Cao Miao had neither the skills to deal with Zhuge Liang's demonstrations nor the intention to assist.
Obviously? Cao Miao was very dissatisfied with her attitude? He just didn't say it out.
"Put it on? Go and meet General Sui." Mrs. Sun stood up? He took a sleeve armor and walked towards the room opposite.
Cao Miao took off his coat, put on the sleeve armor, and moved it for a while. The sleeve armor was very heavy, but fortunately there should be no chance to do it today. Just watch Cao Zhan and Mrs. Sun fight desperately.
I don’t know if Cao Zun is ready. Mrs. Sun is interested in seizing today? In addition to deploying elite troops, she will also bring her big bow. However, Cao Zun is born with divine power? Even if he does not have a sleeve armor, he can wear two armors to supplement the quality with quantity.
That's what Ah Hu did, a small armor inside? A large armor outside, and the protective effect is no worse than that of a tube sleeve armor.
Before he could stop, Cao Miao took Ah Hu out. Mrs. Sun had already changed her clothes, and she was so heroic that it was jealous. Cao Miao glanced at him twice, and Mrs. Sun glared at him, turned around and got off Feilu.
Before Cao Miao went down to Feilu, he took a look at the distance.
A shepherd boy sat on the back of a cow and blew the flute.
——
Lu Xun was somewhat surprised by Mrs. Sun and Cao Miao's visit, especially when he saw both of them wearing sleeved armor under the burqa.
But he said nothing, and said tribute and Xuanxuan, everything was normal, and he was kind of distant. This was especially true for Cao Miao. Except for looking at Cao Miao when he was greeting, he never looked at Cao Miao again, as if he did not exist.
Cao Miao didn't mind either and sat quietly beside Mrs. Sun.
He pays more attention to Lu Ren behind Lu Xun.
He heard Liu Chen talk about Lu Ren and knew that Han Dong's exposure in Wuchang was related to Lu Ren. How Lu Ren saw through Han Dong is still unclear, but the consequences are very serious. Han Dong was not allowed to live in seclusion, and he could only use indirect methods to contact him.
Seeing Cao Miao looking at him, Lu Ren didn't take it seriously at first, but later he gradually became uncomfortable. Cao Miao's eyes were different, without any concealment at all, looking straight at people, with a strong aggressiveness, making people feel offended.
Although Lu Ren has no official position, he is Lu Xun's entourage. Few people dare to be so rude, let alone surrender.
"Jun Cao knows him?" Lu Xun also noticed Cao Miao's eyes and said lightly.
Cao Miao shook his head. "I don't know you. But I have a subordinate before. I have seen this entourage of Junhou and talked about his appearance."
Lu Xun slightly said with his head on his head and continued to talk to Mrs. Sun. Cao Miao said again: "My subordinate is dead, just on the night of Shangsi."
Hearing the word "Shangsi", Lu Xun's eyes, like an ancient well, finally changed. He turned his head again and looked at Cao Miao. "About Shangsi Night, Xun only knows Cao Jun Gao Lu, but he doesn't know that you have another subordinate who died that night."
"I can't talk about Gao Lu, just a few gossips, how can I compare to a life?" Cao Miao sighed. "I have always thought about avenging him, but I never thought that he might have another identity, which makes it difficult for me to deal with."
"Gosh?" Lu Xun stroked his beard and whispered softly. "How much storm caused by Cao Jun's gossip, even Xun was affected by Western barbarians. Thinking about it carefully, the last time he heard such gossip was twenty years ago."
Cao Miao didn't realize what it was referring to twenty years ago. After thinking for a while, he realized what Lu Xun said and couldn't help laughing. He deliberately pretended not to understand and said seriously: "Is Junhou talking about Guan Yu's words 'How can a tiger girl marry a dog'?"
Lu Xun's eyes twitched, looked at Cao Miao, and then looked at Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun was embarrassed and shouted: "You should not be arrogant in front of the general of the country. What the general said was that before the Battle of Red Cliff, Prime Minister Zhuge invited the alliance with Jiangdong to discuss the general situation of the world for our great Wu monarch and ministers."
Cao Miao smiled slightly. "So it's this, I'm ashamed, ashamed. I wasn't born at that time and I had no impression. But when it comes to Prime Minister Zhuge, I remembered something. I wonder if the General of the Sui State is interested in listening?"
