Chapter 32: Gather all the materials and forge Hua Xiong yourself
"It's a little difficult to please him. My lord doesn't like women, money, or fame. He doesn't have any special hobbies," said Cao Cao.

This made Yuan Shao's face turn black at that time.

We don’t know whether he is lustful or not, but if Ji Chengtian really doesn’t care about fame and fortune, why would he spend money to buy an official position?

You don't love money, and it was someone else who just extorted the princes?
"However, the lord fought with Lu Bu a few days ago and was about to defeat Lu Bu, but his weapon couldn't hold up and broke into two pieces, so he almost lost." Cao Cao said, "If someone gave the lord the materials to make a magic weapon, he would be very happy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Shao immediately understood Ji Hao's purpose.

He also heard the threat in it, which was: only with a magical weapon could Ji Hao deal with Lu Bu. Without it, he would be powerless.

Yuan Shao saw with his own eyes how brave Lu Bu was when he was fighting against the Yellow Turbans.

The reason why Yan Liang and Wen Chou pretended to be absent was because they were afraid that they would fight to the death with Lu Bu and suffer heavy casualties.

"Okay, I can give you some black iron, but in addition to supporting me as the leader, if Lu Bu attacks, your lord must be responsible for resisting!" Yuan Shao said: "Otherwise, I will spread the word that your lord is afraid of Lu Bu and dare not fight!"

Cao Cao heard: "..."

Has Yuan Benchu, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also become a bad person?
He had a vague feeling in his heart, and he quickly shook his head, thinking: Impossible, it is definitely not because Ji Hao entered Xiyuan and led Emperor Ling astray, and then led Yuan Shao, one of the Xiyuan captains, astray.

Absolutely impossible!
"At least thirty kilograms!"

"make a deal!"

After getting the black iron from Yuan Shao, Cao Cao did not immediately go to find Ji Hao, but found Liu Biao and said, "Brother Jingsheng! My master has always felt that you are the best candidate for the emperor..."

After them came Liu Ni, Liu Dai and Liu Yu.

Walked a long way.

No one knew what he said, but when he returned to Ji Hao, he was already carrying more than 100 kilograms of black iron, and said with a smile: "My lord, the materials for your magic weapon are all here!"

Nowadays, Ji Hao already has more than 200 kilograms of black iron and dozens of kilograms of refined gold.

Another "star stone" that is also a meteorite from outer space.

In addition to various other materials used to create magical weapons, you can now start crafting.

"But why did you only prepare the forge but not recruit any craftsmen? Although ordinary craftsmen cannot forge such a heavy weapon, it is still no problem to divide it into three parts to make a detachable magic weapon!" Cao Cao said.

Ji Hao imagined that an ordinary blacksmith could not forge a spear weighing three hundred pounds.

too heavy.

But if it is divided into three parts, each part is about the weight of an ordinary divine weapon, but it only requires sufficient skills - craftsmen of that level are not difficult to find, basically any blacksmith who can forge fine steel weapons can do the job.

The focus is still on materials.

Otherwise, Liu, Guan and Zhang were so poor that they would not have been able to use their magical weapons.

"Meng De, you are not a military commander, so you may not know that guns are actually divided into two types: soft guns and hard guns. Hard guns can be divided into several sections and used after being assembled, but soft guns cannot!" Ji Hao said: "And the magic weapon I want to create is similar to the Overlord Gun, which is a magic weapon that is both soft and hard. It has the characteristics of a hard gun, and can also use the characteristics of a soft gun under the blessing of extreme divine power. In this case, it cannot be split, it must be integrated!"

These words made Cao Cao stunned.

"What should I do?"

This time, in the campaign against Dong Zhuo, he will definitely have to fight against Lu Bu.

He didn't think that there was anyone else who could fight against Lu Bu. Even Zhao Yun, who was almost twenty years old now, was still a little lacking. He had not realized the "oneness of man and spear", so it was difficult for him to be Lu Bu's opponent.

Even if he understood it, Zhao Yun was good at group battles, not one-on-one fights.

Unable to suppress a peerless warrior like Lu Bu.

Ji Hao had to take action. But if he didn't have a magic weapon, even if he could use his double guns to prevent the weapons from breaking, it would be difficult to defeat Lu Bu.

Weapons have a great impact on a person.

"Didn't I bring a furnace?" Ji Hao smiled, took out an 80-jin sledgehammer and an oversized pair of fire tongs, and said, "I have been learning forging these days, and I have mastered the essentials. I can just do it myself!"

He planned to forge it himself.

With a photographic memory, he learned things very quickly, and learned almost all the knowledge of forging in just a few days. As for the actual skills, the key lies in control and physical strength, and as a martial artist, he is satisfied with both.

You can forge it yourself.

In addition, he also confirmed one thing from ancient books and Zhao Yun, that is: if the magic weapon he forged is watered with the master's blood, it will produce some strange effects and the degree of fit will reach the extreme.

This is not superstition.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Jiao really could "cast beans and turn them into soldiers", but the soldiers he conjured up were not very strong in combat.

"I'm going to go into seclusion to forge a magic weapon. The rest of the things have been arranged. You can discuss it with Zilong and just act according to the circumstances!" After Ji Hao gave some instructions, he officially started forging.

Make fire, hammer, quench, and return to the furnace.

This is a long process.

Meanwhile, on the other side, when Dong Zhuo learned that the princes had held a meeting and even Ji Hao had participated, he could no longer sit still and said angrily: "They are joining forces to attack us? This is outrageous!"

After saying this, he personally led Lu Bu, Li Ru, Hua Xiong and others to the battle.

Except for another son-in-law Niu Fu, who stayed behind in the capital to prevent Zhang Liao from sending troops to Chengtian Ferry, all the others were brought along.

"I heard that Ji Hao got the materials to forge a magic weapon and is now in seclusion to forge iron. This is a good opportunity!" Li Ru suggested, "Let's take the initiative to challenge him. If Ji Hao doesn't take action, no one can be Fengxian's opponent. And if he does take action, without a magic weapon, he is no match for Fengxian!"

Dong Zhuo liked to hear these words.

He immediately said: "Speed ​​up and reach Hulao Pass before tonight!"

"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the front of the pass to challenge them!" said Lu Bu.

Dong Zhuo was about to agree.

But at this time, Hua Xiong suddenly stood up and said, "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? As long as Ji Chengtian doesn't make a move, leave the others to me. Don't let Fengxian waste his energy!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo felt it made sense.

The next morning, Hua Xiong was sent out to challenge.

Just like in the original novel, Hua Xiong, as a first-class military general, was no match for ordinary people. He first killed Yu She, then Pan Feng, and then stood alone in front of the eighteen princes, defeating them so badly that they could not raise their heads.

Of course, none of the princes wanted to waste their strength.

Fighting a war is not like playing a game. The status will not be refreshed after a round ends. Even if Ji Ling, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others are confident of winning, they dare not say that they will be absolutely unscathed.

If something unexpected happens, you’ll be doomed!

Therefore, Yuan Shu did not let Ji Ling go into battle, and Yuan Shao simply said that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were not there.

As a result, a situation arose where no prince was willing to fight against Hua Xiong.

"Horse archer Guan Yu..." Guan Yu wanted to apply for participation in the battle, but before he could attract the attention of the other nobles, Cao Cao interrupted him: "Alliance Master Yuan, I recommend someone who can definitely kill Hua Xiong!"
