My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 339 Cao Cao is uneasy and kind!

In the depths of the palace, Fushou Tangji finally cleaned up.

Two daughters, one queen and one princess, all of noble status.

Hearing the urging of the general next to him at this moment, Fu Shou whispered to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. I will definitely seek reinforcements for Your Majesty when I go to Yangzhou this time."

Liu Xie nodded, but felt uneasy in his heart.

Because he always felt that going to Fushou this time was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. After all, everyone knew that the only reinforcement was Chu Feng, and Chu Feng was an extremely famous womanizer.

Especially young women who have had a family!

Such as the Zou family, the Cai family, the Xu family, the Gan family, the Mi family, Diao Chan, etc., are all other wives and concubines, but they are all taken by Chu Feng as his own. Right now, Liu Xie can only hope,

Then Chu Feng would be scruples about Fushou's identity and would not dare to overstep.

Stepping on lotus steps and boarding the carriage, immediately, the general leading the team shouted to set off, and two teams of elite cavalry escorted a carriage and began to move towards Tongguan.

Cao Mansion, study office.

Xun You came striding forward, and Cao Cao immediately asked, "Gongda, but the Queen has already left?"

"Well, the empress has already set off, and my subordinates have also let all the local authorities spread the word, exaggerating the news that the empress will go to Yangzhou for inspection. It will take a few days for the whole country to know."

Xun You nodded and spoke immediately.

"Very good, when the empress arrives in Yangzhou, the plan will start. At that time, the teacher will be famous, and Chu Feng will definitely be embarrassed." Cao Cao showed a long-lost smile.

"My lord, don't forget to marry your daughter to the emperor. You can be a nobleman first, and when the news of Fushou's death comes out, you can directly become the queen."

Xun You smiled softly and said sternly.

"It's natural, it's natural. Tomorrow I will talk to the Son of Heaven about this matter. Don't you know that the Son of Heaven is trembling when he sees me."

Cao Cao laughed and sneered at Liu Xie.

----

Jian'an five years, early December.

Cao Cao's meticulous work has already spread the news that the queen visited Yangzhou on behalf of the emperor. It can be said that everyone knows that Cao Cao has no good intentions.
Chu Feng is no exception!

In the general's mansion, Chu Feng was wearing cotton clothes,

All the civil and military men in the mansion were also wrapped in cotton clothes, drinking hot tea and chatting from time to time. The stove in the middle was still crackling and burning with flames, increasing the temperature of the room.

As for the outside of the mansion, goose feathers and heavy snow fell, and the land was covered with silver in a short while.

"It's snowing heavily, the coming year must be a good omen!" Chu Feng put down the tea in his hand and said with a sigh.

At this time, Zhuge Liang took time to come.

Ever since he became the general director of education, Zhuge Liang didn't have much time to communicate with Chu Feng. However, the weather has turned sharply down these days, and the students temporarily suspend classes until early spring.

"Oh, is something wrong with Kong Ming?"

Chu Feng looked at Zhuge Liang, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.

"My lord, although school has started for half a month, there are still many problems, and I need my lord's full support. This is the list of items, please have a look."

Zhuge Liang said solemnly.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang also served hot tea.

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows, took a look, and Zhuge Liang listed them in great detail, including how many missing books, pens, chairs, etc.

"The list is very detailed. I'm working overtime to do these things. I think they can be done in the spring of next year. Kong Ming doesn't need to worry too much about this." Chu Feng comforted.

"As for the number of teachers, you need to worry about it, Kong Ming. I have already recruited teachers in several states, but there are still few people who are willing, and they can be trained independently."

Zhuge Liang nodded,
But at this moment, Lu Su hurriedly walked from outside the mansion, his cheeks were red with cold, and he brushed off the snowflakes on the fur on his neckline. Lu Su said eagerly, "My lord, the queen is here!"

"Queen? Which queen?"

Chu Feng was stunned for a while, but didn't react for a while.

"Empress Fu of the Great Han, she visited Yangzhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and this matter has been raised to a very high level of popularity, I am afraid that everyone knows about it."

Lu Su said with a look of vigilance.

"Fu Shou? Visiting Yangzhou?"

"Hehe, it's interesting. Cao Cao's plan is to let the queen come to Yangzhou." Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, showing a bit of dignity, or curiosity.

"My lord, Cao Cao has no good intentions!"

Lu Su was also vigilant. When he heard the news, he knew that Cao Cao was absolutely uneasy, but he didn't know exactly what he was planning.

"Kong Ming, what do you think?"

Chu Feng looked at Zhuge Liang beside him and asked.

"My lord, you might as well think about it. What happens when the queen goes to Yangzhou is the most beneficial to Cao Cao, but the least beneficial to my lord?" Zhuge Liang asked directly with a chuckle.

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone? And then planting the blame on me? This will make all the pro-Han people in the world hate me even more." Chu Feng stroked his hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuge Liang and said.

"Not only that!"

"Cao Cao will not do meaningless things,"

"If his purpose is to let the queen be buried here, then the lord kills the queen before the great man is destroyed. It is a big taboo to be rebellious."

"Secondly, Cao Cao can justifiably evade the emperor further and make his clansmen serve as queens to strengthen his position,"

"Of course, the main thing he wants is to be famous. I suspect he wants to compete with the lord, otherwise there is no need to waste so much time!"

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and briefly analyzed it.

After the words fell, Chu Feng couldn't help nodding his head. Zhuge Liang's analysis was very comprehensive and thorough. At least Chu Feng agreed.

In other words, there are other things hidden under his incident.

"My lord, what Kong Ming said is not unreasonable. Cao Cao must have hidden bad news. He only did this for one purpose, and that is that he wants to mobilize troops."

"I'm afraid it was Ma Chao and others from Xiliang who took refuge in him and gave him courage." Lu Su also said with a frown.

"My lord, this matter must be guarded against. Especially the Xiliang cavalry, I have dealt with them too much in the early years. These people are proficient in riding, and they are by no means weaker than Wuhuan and other grassland people,"

"And I suspect that if Cao Cao really wants to mobilize troops, he may not only be himself, but he will also join forces with Yuan Shao. The strength of the two is at least 300,000, which should not be underestimated!"

On the side, Jia Xu stroked his beard and said solemnly.

Hearing this, everyone shrank their pupils and became a little dignified.

Cao Yuan's coalition was inevitable, but they did not expect that this decisive battle would come early.

"My lord, what Wen He said is right, and as far as I know, Cao Cao has a good relationship with Xiliang and Xiqiang, and Yuan Shao has a close relationship with Wuhuan and Xiongnu,"

"Both of these two want to seize the Central Plains with the help of external forces. Our cavalry has more than 10,000 cavalry, but they are guarding the entire Central Plains. Even if the soldiers fight bloody, it is difficult to win."

Lu Su also frowned,

The Central Plains is flat and suitable for cavalry operations, but what Chu Feng lacks the most is cavalry. There are only more than 10,000 of them in total. If I want to add one thing, I have to rely on horse dealers to steal and sell some of them.
Couldn't quench my thirst at all!

"Xiqiang, Xiongnu, Wuhuan?"

"Hehe, my family competed for the foundation, but attracted foreign enemies to dominate the Central Plains. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are also worthy of being Han people? What an embarrassment to the big man."

Chu Feng snorted coldly with disdain.

But he knew in his heart that the current situation was not optimistic.

The three nomads can casually engage hundreds of thousands of cavalry, counting Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's own, the number will only be more, that is to say, if this battle really starts,
Chu Feng's odds are too low.

"Where is Fushou now?" Chu Feng asked.

"It is reported that we have already left Luoyang, so we should have arrived in Yingchuan, and it will take some time." Lu Su quickly explained.

"For the time being, regardless of what Cao Cao will do, let's stop Cao Cao's idea of ​​using a knife to kill someone. Come and inform Zhao Yun, let him lead three thousand cavalry to Yingchuan to pick up people, and ensure Fushou's safety."

"In addition, let Gan Ning lead the boats out of the Huai River to Chen Guo, Runan and other places, and Zhao Yun will transfer to Hefei for inspection after receiving it." Chu Feng immediately made some arrangements.

"No!" Someone responded immediately.

"As for Cao Cao's and Yuan Shao's allied forces, we really need to pay attention. The cavalry in the Central Plains are invincible. Leave this to me. I will find a way to deal with these cavalry!"

Chu Feng pondered for a while, and frowned.

"My lord, is that the loud thing you used earlier?" Zhuge Liang asked excitedly. He had heard about this thing a long time ago, but he had never seen it before.
This thing is said to be the key to Chu Feng repelling Yuan Shao,
If this thing is equipped with all infantry regiments, the enemy's iron cavalry will not be a concern.

"That's right, but that thing is almost used and needs to be redeveloped." Chu Feng frowned, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart, he really doesn't know gunpowder.

At most he knows the list of basic ingredients, which are nothing more than nitrate, sulfur, and carbon, but this thing needs repeated experiments to get the final result, and to make black powder.

Of course, Chu Feng now only needs to make something that can make a sound, which is difficult, and when it will be developed is a question.

"Redevelop?" Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up.

What he most wanted to know was the knowledge that he couldn't learn at present, and Chu Feng just happened to be able to satisfy Zhuge Liang.

"Could it be that Kong Ming wants to learn?" Chu Feng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, with Zhuge Liang's intelligence, it was much easier than doing it himself.

When the time comes, I will pretend to train him through experience and let him think about it, so I can save myself a lot of worry.

"Naturally!" Zhuge Liang nodded excitedly.

"In this way, after it's over later, you can go to a place with me, and I will teach you how to do it. But learning requires practice, not static."

"At that time, I will tell you the reason. Whether it can be done or not depends entirely on your own ability." Chu Feng said in a dignified voice.

"No!" Zhuge Liang was excited.

Lu Xun's eyes were hot, and he also said: "Master, I am willing to study with Kong Ming, and I will never disappoint my master's cultivation."

"Okay, yes!" Chu Feng nodded.

Mainly he didn't know how to do it.

As for Jia Xu, Lu Su and others, although they were hot-eyed, they didn't get involved considering that they had something to do and that it would be better to leave it to young people.

In fact, gunpowder first appeared many times in the Warring States and Han Dynasties, but at that time it was mostly used by warlocks for alchemy, and it had not been fully excavated.

No one deliberately calculates the specific ratio.
But since it has happened before, with the talents of Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, it shouldn't be difficult to figure it out!

Soon, the meeting of the people was over, and Chu Feng led the two of them straight to the backyard, and at the same time told his personal guards to prepare things like nitrate, sulphur, and charcoal.

Chu Feng can't remember the specific ratio.

He only remembered a jingle, one nitrate, two sulphur, and three charcoal. These are the materials of black gunpowder, and the specific combination needs to be studied.

Only when the ratio is the closest to a chemical reaction can it be fully burned and thus produce the greatest power. If the ratio is not the best, it is not impossible for the reaction to occur.

After a long time, the personal guard brought something.

There are several kinds of things, but it's just a matter of purity.

Both Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun also knew about these things, saltpeter is a good thing to support combustion, sulfur also increases combustion, and charcoal is more a product of combustion.

"Hey, the thing that can make a loud noise before is called gunpowder. This thing is a combination of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. As for the specific ratio, you need to think about it yourself."

"However, I can remind you that saltpeter accounts for at least [-]% of the three. When the three are mixed and stirred, they will explode violently when they burn, resulting in a loud noise."

Chu Feng looked at the things in front of him and said to the two of them.

The two looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. If this thing could really come from their hands, it would be famous in history, but it was Chu Feng who made them admire even more.

Chu Feng's knowledge is profound,
Their knowledge is like infants and young children in front of Chu Feng, and they cannot be compared at all.

"These things are flammable and explosive. You want to study them, but you must pay attention to safety. Your safety is a thousand times more valuable than this!"

Chu Feng looked at the two solemnly,

Lu Xun had been with him earlier, and Zhuge Liang was also the pillar of the country in the future. These two were going to take over the mantle of Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao and others.

"No!" The two nodded.

"Alright, let's do some research for now. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I also need to do some research." Chu Feng gave the two of them an encouraging look.

"En!" The two nodded.

Chu Feng is so excellent and yet so diligent, they are far behind Chu Feng, how can they be lazy.What's more, they are extremely looking forward to gaining knowledge from Chu Feng,

Acquire some knowledge that is not recorded in ancient books,
To them, Chu Feng was already a person who surpassed the sages. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was sent by the heavens. The main thing is that he knows too much.

Know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom,

Excellent in every way,

Full of charisma, admirable.

After explaining this, Chu Feng strode away immediately.

Gunpowder is an item that must be developed. What Chu Feng needs to do now is to purify these things. If the purity is not high enough, the reaction will be compromised.

He is still clear about the purification,

He also wants to try to make gunpowder himself, to see if he can research it, and he doesn't want to eat it to become a fat man, he just needs to get something that can explode first.

Making a loud noise is the first step,
In the second step, steel balls and steel sheets can be added to the closed gunpowder to increase the lethality of the explosion.

The third step is to research gunpowder that can propel projectiles, build firearms, and enter the industrial age, but these are still far away, all he needs to do now is to make a loud noise.
