Chapter 1224 Cao's Prodigy
Guo Jia smiled and remained silent.

As Cao Cao's confidant, he certainly knew that Cao Cao had high expectations for Cao Chong.

Coincidentally, when Cao Chong was born, it was the time when the Son of Heaven met Li Jue in Huayin.At that time, red air pierced the sky, from southeast to northwest.Cao Cao once thought that this celestial phenomenon was for Cao Chong, but he didn't realize that he was thinking too much until he received the news of the emperor's great victory the following year.

But Cao Chong is indeed worthy of Tianxiang, showing wisdom beyond ordinary people at a young age.

When Cao Cao was changed to be the guardian of Yanran, he didn't bring so many children with him, but he took Cao Chong with him and taught him carefully.

Now Cao Chong is nine years old and already has the wisdom of an adult.Cao Cao has a lot of difficult things to solve. In addition to discussing with him, he is discussing with Cao Chong.

It is probably Cao Chong's suggestion to make up his mind and request the Western Expedition.

Of course, considering that Cao Ang is deeply trusted by the emperor and loved by his wife, Mrs. Ding, it is inevitable that he will inherit the title in the future.Since Cao Chong is a common son, he can only fight for it with his own ability.Cao Cao loves his son eagerly, and it is understandable that he wants to go west with the emperor and accumulate some contacts for Cao Chong.

In fact, as the northern border gradually settled, there were many people who wanted to march west with the emperor, and Cao Cao was by no means the only one.

The two went down the hillside, and Cao Ren surrounded them with envoys from various tribes. They saluted Cao Cao, expressed their respect, poured out their difficulties, begged the court for mercy, and so on.

Guo Jia was not interested in hearing this, he stood far away, looking into the distance.

It's the last good time of the year.The sun is warm, the eyes are full of green grass, and the cattle and sheep are full of valleys.In a month or two, the weather will turn cold and the grass will turn yellow. It will be difficult for him to even go out, let alone enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Cao Chong came over and stood side by side with Guo Jia.

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Chong, quite surprised.

Cao Cao is not tall, so he especially likes tall women, hoping to make his children grow taller.Cao Chong's biological mother, Mrs. Huan, is from Xuzhou. It is said that she has Dongyi blood. She has fair skin and a long body.

Cao Chong is the eldest son of Mrs. Huan. He is nine years old this year and is already six feet tall, about the same size as Cao Cao.

"Cang Shu, do you want to go to the Western Regions?"

Cao Chong smiled. "Apart from those who want to be disarmed and return to the fields, how many young people don't want to go to the Western Regions?"

"The Western Regions are far away and very bitter."

"Born in sorrow, died in peace." Cao Chong sighed. "If those who stay in the Central Plains indulge in peace and happiness, it may be difficult to secure the position of Da Zong in the future."

Guo Jia frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Cao Chong suddenly pointed. "Master, someone is here."

Guo Jia followed Cao Chong's finger and saw a dozen black spots appearing on the horizon in the distance, galloping towards this side.When he got closer, he saw the first cavalry holding the battle flag of a big man. It should be that the cavalry came back.

But there are rarely so many people walking together on the Ranger.

Guo Jia immediately thought of Zhou Yu, and he winked at Cao Chong. "Cang Shu, guess who it will be."

Cao Chong blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Military Master, why guess? Although I have never met this person, I have heard him mentioned many times by my father and the military adviser. A son of the Han family who can grow to be more than eight feet has such a bearing, and It happened to appear on the grassland, there should not be many people."

Guo Jia laughed and reached out to pat Cao Chong on the shoulder. "Cang Shu, the future is promising."

After a while, Zhou Yu and others came to the front.You Qi got off his horse and reported to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia nodded and greeted Zhou Yu. "Gongjin came so fast."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "After receiving the news from the guards, I rushed here day and night. Thanks to the guidance of these two warriors on the road, I didn't take a detour."

Ranger beamed with joy.

Walking with Zhou Yu for more than ten days, they admired Zhou Yu so much that they believed that Zhou Yu would become a great weapon in the future.Zhou Yu's praise of them in front of Guo Jia will not only let Guo Jia know their credit, but also be worthy of bragging for a lifetime in the future.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, Zhou Yu turned to look at Cao Chong, and said with a smile, "This must be Cangshu, the beloved son of the governor?"

Cao Chong bowed his hands in salute. "Unexpectedly, Zhou Lang's humble name can be heard in Zhou Lang's ears. I'm ashamed."

"Blessed are the protectors. Every school has its own talent, but Cangshu is the most important. Even the barbarians know Cangshu's benevolence. Although I am far away in the northern border, I am ignorant, but I have heard of Cangshu's reputation."

What Zhou Yu said was true.Along the way, in addition to hearing Cao Chong's name and deeds from the two rangers, he also heard many times from the tribes along the way.It is said that Cao Cao is not good at speaking, and his methods are ruthless, and he kills people at every turn.If there is anything difficult to do, only by asking his son Cao Chong can it be done.Therefore, many tribes prayed for Cao Chong and regarded him as a benefactor.

Although Cao Cao may have deliberately made his son famous, it is also conceivable that Cao Chong is definitely not an idle boy.

With Cao Cao's insight, he would never promote a mediocre person to a position he shouldn't have.

If virtue does not match, disasters will inevitably ensue.

The three of them chatted for a while, feeling like they had met each other late.They are highly consistent in their judgment of the situation in northern Xinjiang, and they also have the same admiration for the emperor who created today's situation.

Had it not been for the emperor's foresight and foresight, advocating that all peoples are all men, especially improving the treatment and status of iron officials and craftsmen, it would be impossible for Hedong iron officials and Xihe iron officials to forge excellent weapons.Without excellent weapons, it would be impossible for the Yanran Protectorate to run amok across Mobei with a mere ten thousand people, killing all the tribes and fleeing, bowing their heads and bowing their heads.

The most typical of these is the wolf cavalry, which fully embodies the emperor's way of using troops to win with elite soldiers.

The northern border is so hard that it cannot afford to support too many people.Without sophisticated ordnance to improve combat effectiveness, fewer troops will not be enough, and more troops will not be able to support the finances. It is unrealistic to take the initiative to control northern Xinjiang, and can only passively defend the border.

The chain is interlocking, step by step, success is not accidental, but comes from foresight.

If you consider that the emperor had just killed Li Jue at that time, the world was still in chaos, and the only thing he could control was Hedong, which is even more incredible.

How confident is it that he can think about the future in such a situation?

After talking for a while, Guo Jia asked Zhou Yu about the purpose of this trip.

They knew that Jiang Gan's sending a letter to Zhou Yu was not simply a message, but they didn't know what the message was.

Zhou Yu didn't hide anything, and told about Shen You's invitation to organize the navy.According to the information he has learned, the most convenient way to get to Rome is through the navy, and the large lake known as the Sea of ​​Hospitality is the starting point of the journey.If the Aral Sea is taken into consideration, the completion of the navy will greatly speed up the pace of going to Rome.

After Cao Chong listened, he asked Zhou Yu a question. "Mr. Zhou is familiar with shipbuilding?"

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head. "I do know some shipbuilding techniques, but I'm better at commanding naval operations."

Cao Chong thought about it. "With all due respect, Zhou Jun's good naval warfare methods may not be useful in the Aral Sea. As the saying goes: If you want to be good at a job, you must first sharpen your weapon. If you can't build a better warship, it may not be The opponents of the locals. After all, they are familiar with the local warships and tactics, but you need time to adapt. But on the battlefield, life and death may be on the line, so don’t be rash.”

Zhou Yu smiled. "Then according to Cangshu's opinion, what should we do?"

"Since Zhou Jun decided to go west, he must have a certain understanding of Roman naval tactics. Why not make some preparations first, see what can be improved, and then hire some skilled craftsmen who can build ships along the way?"

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment. "Shangtu hired?"

Cao Chong smiled. "There are some craftsmen in Yanran's Protectorate Mansion, who may be able to help Zhou Jun."
