The next day, in Chang Dynasty, Yan Liben sat among all the officials and was in a trance.
He felt the hard object in his arms and didn't know whether he should listen to his brother or not.
Yan Lide was not far in front of him. Seeing Yan Liben silent, he couldn't help looking back at him. That naturally meant urging Yan Liben not to waste time.
Yan Liben's eyes were a little erratic, and he still couldn't make up his mind.
His eyes unconsciously fell on the palace guards wearing armor on both sides of the Tai Chi hall.
The armor worn by these guards looks very powerful, with a royal majesty among them. However, Yan Liben knew that these armor were just like goods. Let alone in the face of broken armor arrows, they could easily penetrate at a distance of one or two hundred steps, which was completely different from the iron armor in his arms.
At this time, the Taiji hall was discussing the dispatch of troops to East Turks.
In the winter of the second year of Zhenguan, civil strife occurred in Eastern Turks, and Xue yantuo, Huihe and BA Yegu defected one after another. The grassland suffered another snowstorm, and many sheep and horses died. As a result, there was a famine, and the East Turks dispersed one after another.
The East Turkic sub Khan, Tuli Khan, was suppressed and excluded by Jieli Khan for a long time. He also secretly contacted Datang and expressed his willingness to belong to him.
Facing such a favorable time and place, Li Er can't let go. He has made up his mind to attack the East Turks.
The officials in the Tai Chi hall have discussed for a long time about the preparation of troops, food and grass, how to send troops and so on.
Yan Liben listened to Li Er discuss military affairs with Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others. He reached out again and touched the armor in his arms. Finally, he made up his mind to listen to his brother's suggestions and "sell" his teachers.
He has already thought about it. After the dynasty is dispersed, he will go to the teacher's house to apologize. He is willing to accept any blame from the teacher.
"Your Majesty, I have something to play!" Yan Liben got up and interrupted the discussion.
Li Er was listening to Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of the people's Republic of China, telling the states about the stock of grain and grass. Suddenly, Yan Liben interrupted and frowned.
"Yan Aiqing, what can I do for you?" Li Er also knew that Yan Liben was always steady and would not be so reckless if there were no major events. Therefore, although he was unhappy, he still asked.
Yan Liben took out the iron armor from his arms, held it high above his head, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my teacher, Huxian Bo Li Ziyou, recently created a new armor, which is indestructible. It's really a powerful weapon! Please play your majesty to ask for merit for my teacher."
This is the idea given to him by his brother Yan Lide. He stabbed Li Er about it on the pretext of performing meritorious deeds for Li forgetful.
Li Er, such a seasoned emperor, how can he tolerate such a treasure armor falling into the hands of others? He will certainly make an order to let Li forget his worries and present the treasure armor.
In this way, even if Li forgets to worry, he can't blame Yan Liben.
Of course, these are just excuses.
Yan Liben knew that he had "betrayed" his teacher by doing so. But he really couldn't see such a treasure. When it fell into the hands of several dandies, he simply stood up and spoke to Li Er after listening to his brother's words.
Li Er, who was still a little unhappy just now, immediately raised his eyebrows after hearing Yan Liben's words. In the hall, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong and other military generals were also shining in their eyes.
"Yan Aiqing, what kind of armor is it? Present it quickly." Li Er stood up from the throne and couldn't wait to say.
Yan Liben held his hands high, gave the armor in his hand to Mituo, and continued: "Your Majesty, please look at this armor. The holes on it are all two stone strong bows. The armor breaking arrows can only be shot through at a distance of 20 steps. Moreover, the arrows of the armor breaking arrows are stuck in the armor and can not be completely penetrated."
His words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and Qin Qiong, the princes of the state, did not mind losing their appearance in front of the hall. They all rushed to Mituo's side, grabbed the iron armor and looked around.
Li Er Si didn't mind the rudeness of Cheng Yaojin and others. He quickly walked down the imperial rank and looked at the armor together.
"Your Majesty, this is really a armor piercing arrow."
"Tut Tut, if I'm right, this iron armor is made of hundreds of steel!"
"Zhiniang thief, it's no wonder that his armor is made of 100 steel. But he can't shoot through 20 steps with two powerful bows? Why don't I believe it?" Cheng Yaojin shouted.
All the state leaders talked and looked at the iron armor full of holes, but their eyes were all excited.
"Major Yan, what is the lining behind the armor?" Li Er looked carefully and waved to Yan Liben to explain to himself.
Yan Liben said, "Your Majesty, silk and cowhide are lined behind the armor. The teacher said that this can stop the arrow. I didn't believe it at first, but I tried to know that what the teacher said is true. All armor breaking arrows and arrows are wound by the silk and blocked by the cowhide after passing through the armor. Finally, they can pierce the cowhide, so they can't go further."
Before Li Er spoke, Cheng Yaojin shouted, "Your Majesty, if you don't let me have a try?"
"Yes!" Li Er nodded.
Cheng Yaojin immediately asked the palace guard to take the iron armor out of the hall and find an arrow target to fix it. He also ordered people to take a strong bow and arrow feathers and prepare to open the bow and shoot a few arrows himself.
Li Er, regardless of the court meeting, led the officials out of the Tai Chi hall to see Cheng Yaojin test his arrows.
Cheng Yaojin doesn't believe what Yan Liben said. He knows the power of armor breaking arrows in the army. In his mind, even if this iron armor is made of 100 steel, it will be shot through at most 50 steps.
After the forbidden guard sent the bow and arrow, Cheng Yaojin directly drew the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow from fifty steps away.
When there was a sound of metal impact, the arrow feather stabbed on the iron armor and swayed a few times. A gust of wind blew the feather arrow down.
This scene fell in the eyes of Li Er and his ministers, and there was an uproar everywhere.
Cheng Yaojin could not help but turn a long face. In the heart, he scolded the hard armor, but he could not shoot through the fifty steps.
He didn't dare to hold it up again for fear that he would be ashamed if he couldn't shoot through the next arrow. Cheng Yaojin simply held the bow and walked twenty steps away, pulling the bow again.
This time, the arrow feather firmly pierced into the iron armor and pierced a hole again in the iron armor that was already full of holes.
"Your Majesty, this armor is really strong. It's really twenty steps away before you can shoot through it." Cheng Yaojin put down his bow and arrow and motioned the forbidden guard to take down the armor.
Looking carefully at the back of the armor, they were stunned to find that the arrow of the armor breaking arrow only showed a few arrows. Obviously, if this is on the battle line, such an arrow feather is almost the same as being bitten by a mosquito for a group of generals, and can't hurt them at all.
The eyes of Li Er and all the country leaders immediately became hot. They all turned their heads and stared at Yan Liben like wolves.
"Yan Aiqing, can you forge armor according to this method?"
Yan Liben hesitated and nodded: "as a teacher, I made 13 sets of armor with 100 steel, all of which were carefully drawn by the teacher. Twelve of them were made by the teacher according to the twelve constellations, and each constellation corresponds to a set of armor."
As soon as Li forgot to worry, there were 13 sets of armor made of 100 steel. The eyes of all the generals, including Li Er, began to shine.
"And such things? Your majesty, is Chang Chao gone today? How about going to Dingzhou village?" Cheng Yaojin wished he could fly to Li forgetful sorrow's residence immediately and take away those precious armor directly.
Li Er nodded without hesitation: "but let's stop here today. Mito, order people to prepare horses. I'm going to visit Bo's house in Huxian County!"
Yan Liben swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "tell your majesty, my teacher is not in Dingzhou village today. It is said that he has made an appointment with Cheng Chumo to go hunting in the Forbidden Garden."
With Yan Liben's "tip off", Li Er led Cheng Yaojin and other big men to directly ride a horse to kill and rush to the Forbidden Garden
