To be honest, it is not unfair to die when Deng Ai was executed by Sima Zhao.

Although Zhong Hui was provoking, he committed the crime of being pro-destined and kept saying that he was ordered by the emperor and completely bypassed Sima Zhao, who was in charge of Wei. After destroying Shu, he was drifting directly, and even planned to surrender Liu Chan to King Fufeng, which was not within his power.

Gongsun Xiu brought Deng Ai's family to Yan State for this reason. If one day he really acted like a proud and unreasonable act, this would be the sword in his hand. It has to be said that since he became the King of Yan and his status has risen, he will inevitably have a little suspicion in his heart. The four words "lonely man" are not just talk, and there are almost no ones who can completely trust him. If the emperor does not know how to play the art of checks and balances, and believes in and listen to the words of a favorite minister, it will easily overturn the country.

When he read history books in his previous life, he felt that Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered meritorious officials and killed all famous generals like Han Xin, Liu Bowen, Xu Da, and Lan Yu. It was really a grievance.

How could it be said that these people also expanded their territory for the emperor? Without Han Xin, Liu Bang might not have been able to last for Xiang Yu's day; without Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars and restored China would probably be slower than a few years, but Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang were worried that they might have bad behavior in the future, so they directly executed them. This was also one of the few stains on the two founding monarchs of the Han and Ming dynasties.

Although the emperor was extremely suspicious and suspicious all day long, the civil and military officials and generals under the tent may not be able to remain loyal. Perhaps today he would be loyal to the grace of his encounter, and he would betray and independent tomorrow due to uneven interests or profitability, or even kill the master and become emperor, and replace it. This is also a true portrayal of the birds that have gone away, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits die, and lackeys are cooked. The world is peaceful and all external troubles are all pacified. The old emperor naturally regards the general who holds military power as an imaginary enemy. Preventing the situation before it happens, killing the "possibility" in the cradle is the most worry-free thing for the emperor. If Han Xin and Xu Da, the military general who have a great prestige in the army and are good at leading troops to fight, rebellion may be able to upend the entire empire. The founding heroes are often founding heroes.

Sima Yi may not have been born to seize the country of Wei. He was probably just to do something when he became an official. However, as his status rose, he not only became a Taiwei, but also held heavy troops. His mind was inevitably distorted. He happened to meet the orphan and widowed mother left behind by the royal family of Wei. He was not a young and powerful emperor. Anyone who saw it would have a bad idea.

Gongsun Xiu thought that at this moment, who would treat Sima Yi as a treacherous minister? His evaluation of him in the world is not inferior to that of Zhuge Liang, who died. It was not until the year he was dying that the Gaopingling Incident turned into a watershed that he showed his wolves ambition. In fact, if Cao Rui had not died young, the smart Sima Yi would not have a rebellious heart, and perhaps he would have died of illness for more than ten years. At that time, when the younger generation talked about the late Taiwei Taiwei Sima Yi, the late Taiwei Tutor Sima Yi, would have been full of generosity and clasped his hands together, feeling his noble character throughout his life.

Gongsun Xiu looked through the military equipment and reviewed the number of troops in the Eastern Expedition and the food and grass required. However, the military equipment was extremely scarce, with not many bows, arrows, spears, spears, axes, etc. The armor worn by the Yan army was actually leather armor, with not much equipment, and there was no protection on the lower body. The leather armor was also very easy to be penetrated by arrowheads. Only soldiers above centurion are qualified to wear armor, and most Yan army did not even have any good protection.

Gongsun Xiu thought that if he did not have a large amount of fully armed armor, it would be inevitable that he would lose a lot of troops every time he encountered a war. Not every soldier had the halo of the protagonist and could come and go freely among the troops. Unless the author intentionally arranged it would not even have the chance to be shot.

He asked Jia Fan: "Censor, why are there so few armors in the Yan army? Such half-body wearing leather armor and breastplate can't help but arrowheads. Soldiers are easily shot into hedgehogs when they charge with arrows."

Jia Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it is expensive to make armor, and craftsmen are extremely slow to build armor. It is difficult for tens of thousands of soldiers to wear unbreakable armor. The manufacturing of leather armor is much simpler. You can only peel the fur of animals, scrape off the oil and flesh from the raw skin, and then tanning the skin and other items to make leather armor. Although the defense is very poor, it is better than nothing."

Gongsun Xiu couldn't help but speechless, subconsciously looked at the personal soldiers wearing armor beside him, frowned and said, "How long does it take to build such a pair of armor?"

Jia Fan glanced at the armor on his own soldiers. It was a full set of armor. After all, it was the emperor's personal army, and the armor equipped with was also the best among the three armies. None of them, he smiled bitterly: "A pair of armor, from all the processes of melting, ironwork, forging, weaving, and sewing inner leather, requires forty craftsmen to divide the work and cooperate for 200 days in a row to make it."

When Gongsun Xiu heard that such a fully armed armor actually required forty craftsmen, and the construction period lasted for 200 days, he was shocked: "No way? For such a long time, it will take until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month to put on armor in battle?"

"If you have a full set of armor, it will be extremely difficult to equip the entire army. Even all the craftsmen in Yan State can't build armor together." Jia Fan said with a wry smile.

He frowned, and the history books always say "Millions of armor" and "Millions of armor" and "Millions of armor" which means soldiers wearing armor. In fact, most of them are just imaginary numbers. It is not really a million troops wearing armor, or they are wearing leather armor with low defense, breastplate, etc., and it is impossible to wear armor all over their bodies.

Before the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he once sighed that "Yuan Benchu ​​had ten thousand armors and twenty of his great armors."

Before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao, as the most powerful overlord in the Central Plains, had only 10,000 pairs of armor.

This also initially verified the scarcity of armor in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era. Before Gongsun Xiu fought with Sima Yi's army, he found that there were quite a few soldiers wearing armor. Yuan Shao could have tens of thousands of mates in the four states. Today, the Wei Kingdom is more than one-six-six-half-stronger than Yuan Shao at that time, and the heavy soldiers wearing armor are probably no less than 50,000 soldiers.

Jia Fan saw the doubts of the King of Yan and said, "Armor forging requires craftsmen to beat and forge every day, such as this piece of armor."

He paused to the personal soldier, and said, "Let's go around and let the king take a look."

The personal soldiers had to turn around on the spot, with dense armor on their bodies shining silver, and the armor on their bodies should be composed of at least one or two thousand iron pieces.
