During the armor-piercing test, the problem was not only the pain in my shoulders, but also the skirt and armor.

Last night, when weaving the armor, Liu Bei and Guan Yu deliberately left a slit in the front of the skirt. There was a slit in the front but no slit in the back.

Li Mengxi believed that it didn't matter whether the back split was opened or not, and Guan Yu and Liu Bei also thought so.

When I put the armor on my body and started walking around, I realized that the armor skirt at the back would hit my calves and affect my movements.

Li Mengxi realized that the skirt armor also had to be split at the back, and the split at the back had to be larger than the split at the front.

Because it is related to human movements, the human leg joint is in the front, so when you lift your foot and step forward, the height of the calf lift is not very high.

However, when you draw your legs back, the height of your calves is much higher than when you step forward.

It may not be obvious when walking, but it is especially obvious when trotting.

With the same length of skirt armor, when the running leg steps forward, the calf is at most restricted a little. When the leg is retracted and raised back, the calf kicks back and will inevitably be bumped by the skirt armor.

People have straight joints, so the action of walking and running determines that the leg retraction action is higher than the forward step action.

Therefore, Yu Li Mengxi wrote, "The skirt armor is split at the front and back, the front fork is low and narrow, and the back fork is wide and high."

The last point, Li Mengxi wrote, "shoulder swallow nothing, do it in the future."

Finally finishing writing, Li Mengxi put away his pen and ink, rolled up the linen cloth, kicked off his shoes, got into the carriage, tucked himself into the small brick bed, and went to sleep.

Li Mengxi didn't even know when the march started. The vehicles creaked and creaked forward.

Xiao Zhuan woke up early and put on his clothes sensibly.

It's strange today. My brother slept soundly and didn't wake up.

Xiao Bian was worried. What he was thinking in his little mind was that he was afraid that his brother would die. He stretched out his little hand to touch his brother's head.

After touching it, his brother didn't move. Xiao Bian became even more worried and reached out to pinch his brother's nose.

Li Mengxi finally figured it out, "Xiao Zhuan, don't make trouble, let brother sleep for a while." Li Mengxi opened his eyes and looked at his brother sleepily before closing his eyes. He wrapped himself in a quilt and found a comfortable place.

posture and continued to sleep soundly.

Li Mengxi opened his eyes and woke up, so he was not dead. Xiao Zhuan was no longer worried. He hit his brother with a thud and harassed him, "Brother, why are you still sleeping?"

"I don't even want to sleep anymore."

"Why are you still sleeping?"

Li Mengxi had no choice but to turn over and hide a little to the side. The quilt was pulled up and his head was covered.

"Brother, do you still want to sleep?"

Xiao Zhuan patted the quilt with his hand, "Will you get up and teach me how to write?"

"Brother, will you teach me?"

Seeing that his brother ignored him, Xiao Bian pulled back the quilt, trying to wake him up and pull his hair.

Li Mengxi was so annoyed by his younger brother that he felt helpless.

He had no choice but to crawl up with a cry.

Enduring the embarrassment, Li Mengxi taught his younger brother a short poem, which is a poem about going two or three miles away, visiting four or five houses in Yancun, six or seven pavilions, and eighty or ninety branches of flowers.

It just so happened that Xiao Bian could count to thirty or forty, so he could memorize this poem just right.

After teaching, Li Mengxi continued to sleep under the quilt.

He miscalculated, and the younger brother kept reciting the poems happily. He was very happy to recite the poems alone.

Li Mengxi was in pain when he wanted to sleep, so he had to endure it. His younger brother liked to study poetry, which was great, but he couldn't yell at him.

My dear brother, please bear with me.

Children are full of energy and will lose their control when they howl.

Finally, Li Mengxi didn't feel the noise anymore, because he fell asleep and couldn't hear it.

It's the end of September.

——

When Liu Bei's army had crossed half of Hejian and was heading towards Julu County, at the same time, Zhuozhou.

A man came to Zhuozhou. He was Jian Yong, Jian Gongyou.

Jian Yong was an old friend of Liu Bei and had a very close friendship. When Liu Bei wanted to rebel, it was Jian Yong who introduced Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to Liu Bei. Therefore, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping gave horses and iron ingots to Liu Xuande to help Liu Xuande fight against the thieves.

Jian Yong was very talented in persuasion and was good at persuading people with benefits and disadvantages.

At that time, Jian Yong persuaded Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, two great merchants, to say this: "With wars and chaos raging, I'm afraid it's not a good time to do business.

If you two carry horses and iron ingots across the state and counties, wouldn't they be sending meat into the thieves' mouths, which would be a recipe for disaster?"

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping heard this and asked for advice on what to do.

Jian Yong pretended to be deep in thought, "In my opinion, even if this horse iron ingot is not snatched away by thieves, I think it will be snatched away by tyrants. It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible and return to your hometown as soon as possible."

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were grasping at straws, "But in this vast world, where can I find someone who has the financial resources to buy so many horses and iron ingots?"

Jian Yong laughed. While laughing, he looked at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping and shook their heads, but said nothing.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were looked at inexplicably by Jian Yong.

Asked again and again, Jian Yong refused to say anything.

After doing this several times, seeing that the two of them were getting anxious, Jian Yongzheng said, "At this critical moment, do you two still want to make a big fortune?"

I think we should stop asking for huge profits, sell it at a discount, sell it quickly, and just get the original price is enough."

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were in trouble, Jian Yong tried to persuade them from the side, and then the two of them made up their mind to sell at a loss.

However, if the iron ingots for dozens of horses and several cars are sold at the original price, it will still cost a lot of money.

For a while, where can I find a buyer?

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping asked Jian Yong again. Jian Yong looked thoughtful and thought seriously for a moment, "As for buyers, there is really a good buyer for this Zhuozhou land."

"When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Liu Xuande, a native of Zhuozhou, wanted to practice his country's bravery to defend against the enemy, but he was worried about not having horses and weapons.

Liu Xuande is a generous man and has excellent reputation. You can go and give it a try."

After saying that, Jian Yong left. He didn't want the reward given to him by Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, so he got on his donkey and left, looking free and easy.

So, just like that, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping sold all the horses and iron ingots to Liu Xuande at a loss at a low price.

With this help, Liu Bei was able to obtain 500 soldiers.

Let's just say that the rebel army initially only had more than 30 cavalry, and four-fifths of these horses were obtained from Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.

Liu Bei got a big advantage, which is evident from Jian Yong's lobbying skills.

In fact, the losses to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were not great. Jian Yong did not deceive them. Liu Bei was a really kind man. Not only did he give them a lot of money, he also sent people to send them dozens of miles away from Zhuozhou.

As for where Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping went later, who knows, in this chaotic situation, they were traveling businessmen from east to west, and their fate was ill-fated.

Maybe he was still alive, or maybe he was robbed with his car and people outside the boundaries of Zhuozhou.

After Jian Yong introduced Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to Liu Bei, he happened to go away to visit distant relatives. Therefore, when Liu Bei led his troops to attack the Yellow Turban Cheng Yuanzhi's troops, Jian Yong was not there.

Li Mengxi and Liu Bei returned to Zhuozhou, but Jian Yong was not there either.

When he was working in the fields, Jian Yong was not there.

When more than a thousand rebel soldiers left Zhuozhou and marched directly against Julu, Jian Yong was still not there.
