Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 119 is back, that scroll king is back!
"Mr. Hua Tuo, do you have any new needs?"

Before Xu Zhen went out, he asked a question. He had already agreed at that time, and we would talk about it the next day.

"No, but he said that the war will start, wait for the prince to talk about it later." Cao Ang immediately smiled bitterly, ashamed to say this.

On the second day, Hua Tuo praised Xu Zhen greatly, and praised his political affairs and demeanor. He has the style of ancient celebrities and Confucian sages.

He was not stingy about his love for Xu Zhen, and even exchanged the way of playing Wu Qin Xi.

After a few more days like this, the two became more and more intimate, and Hua Tuo even regarded Xu Zhen as a year-end friend.

Because the concept of longevity was exchanged again, Xu Zhen also told Hua Tuo about the way of Tai Chi along the Wu Qin Xi.

However, on the seventh day, it was from Xu Zhen that Hua Tuo learned about the method of pig breeding.

Then she went back to the mansion with a red face and didn't go out until today.

"Nowadays there is a shortage of medical officers in the army. Go ask Mr. if you would like to go with the army?"

Xu Zhen said with a sigh.

In his army camp, the blacksmiths are led by the Pu family, the generals are not weak, the counselors are Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang has gradually grown up.

And now Jia Xu would chat with Kong Ming anytime and anywhere, no matter what books they read, the two of them would have something to talk about.

It seems that Jia Xu is willing to teach Zhuge Liang everything he knows and thinks, but it won't be too much trouble.

Cao Ang looked troubled, but still nodded and said, "In that case, I'll ask."

"It may not be possible to invite it out."

Xu Zhen coughed, with a serious face, and said, "Let's try it..."

……

Chen Liu's troops moved immediately, and Dian Wei led the army to set off in the evening of that day.

Xu Zhen stayed in Chenliu's barracks and waited for Xu Chu to come back.

To his surprise, Hua Tuo agreed to be a military doctor in the army, but instead of going with Dian Wei, he wanted to go with Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen naturally agreed, and let's settle down on the way. This fight will take at least several months, and it may even take a year.

More time to explain.

"Dian Wei has already led the army to set off, and now Chen Liu has only one thousand new cavalry left. When will Master set off?"

"Wait for Xu Chu to come back." After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, Zhuge Liang didn't ask any more questions, and the entire army tent fell into silence.

Only Xu Zhen flipped through the letters to check the voices of counting armaments and military situation in various places.

It took Xu Zhen an hour to issue the military order on duty, read all the military information, and knew the recruitment situation in various places at that time.

After finishing this, he got up immediately and said to Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming will follow me to the blacksmith."

"it is good!"

Zhuge Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face became a little ugly.

Back, that tremblingly self-disciplined monarch is back.

He didn't expect Xu Zhen to go out again. He had just gone back and forth to various places in the barracks to write orders for Xu Zhen himself.

Now that it was night, Zhuge Liang thought that the master must be resting. In the past, he would go home to read books, practice martial arts, and accompany his wife at this time.

Was even looking forward to going to close.

Unexpectedly, I would go out today.

[You completed the one-day military duty, self-discipline value +150]

"We must continue to make up for the loss of sleeping peacefully in the future."

Xu Zhen didn't feel tired at the moment, so he strode out without any hesitation.

Not long after I arrived at the blacksmith's place, I asked Zhuge Liang to come closer, and said with a low laugh, "Kong Ming, you have always asked me why Dianwei is always so brave in battle, but he can stand upright on a horse and fight like he is standing on flat ground." powerful."

"That's right," Zhuge Liang blinked, looking forward to it. Could it be that there is a way?Isn't it as simple as Uncle Dian himself being brave?
"The key lies in the stirrup."

Xu Zhen asked Pu Yuan to bring a pair of stirrups, and touched his head by the way.

Pu Yuan is already nine years old and has a very strong body. He must be a master craftsman when he grows up. Now he has learned a lot of fine work on design drawings.

"This stirrup is struck with iron, and Dianwei Suwei has been wrapped with white cloth before."

"However, this method is not difficult to reproduce. If it is investigated by the enemy army, they will follow this method to build different stirrups in the future, which is equivalent to allowing the cavalry of other princes to increase their military strength."

"That's why I have been wrapped in white cloth all the time, but now in this battle, when I go to Lujiang, I need to be sure that I can't hide my strength. I can't hide it anymore. I will tell you first. If you are asked after the battle, you can tell it directly. If no one notices, that's luck."

"I will put on iron stirrups for this thousand new cavalry, and I will not let down the war horse that Mrs. Dong has found for us."

"This, this is so..."

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Xu Zhen in disbelief, "Your Majesty... No wonder the tiger and leopard cavalry has been well equipped in these years, but I always feel that it is not as good as the Marquis Suwei."

"Before, I occasionally heard from other generals that the cavalry in the Junhou Suwei stepped on the stirrups differently. I never noticed it. I didn't expect it to be on the stirrups."

"That's right," Xu Zhen nodded, "I didn't want to keep this matter a secret for the rest of my life, but this matter has gradually been suspected and probed by people in the military, so I will no longer hide it."

"But in the end, our army can also lead the cavalry army. At least in this battle, we will definitely be able to make great achievements."

Zhuge Liang nodded approvingly, and then looked at the iron stirrups, which were connected to both sides of the horse's belly, and the places they stepped on could make the knight more stable on the horse's back.

In the past, the foreign tribes, especially the Dongyi and the Southern Huns, used cloth stirrups. Even so, they still needed to clamp the horse's back with the thighs on the hips.

This is also the reason why someone in Xiang Yu could say that there is no match between ancient and modern times.

After all, at that time, there were no stirrups at all, but he was as stable as a mountain on horseback. He was the champion of the cavalry at that time, and his body was not human.

"The wisdom of a prince is really not that of an ordinary person."

"Kong Ming, a gentleman is good at using weapons."

Xu Zhen put one hand on his shoulder and said in a low voice, "The weapon is not a heretic, it's a strange skill."

"If you can make good use of the improved utensils, so that the military equipment in the army can exceed the normal state, you can boost the strength of the entire army."

"That's why, you don't have to read the books of machine-expanding craftsmen secretly. You can learn them boldly. As long as it doesn't affect your daily internal affairs, it's not considered a distraction."

"Master!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up immediately, and he became more energetic. He always thought that if he read too many of those books, he would be scolded.

After all, it was at home back then, and the teacher would never let him read these heretical books, and every time he found out, he would be lectured.

After arriving under Xu Zhen's sect, Zhuge Liang never dared to speak out about it, so he was even more surprised when he said it today.

In particular, Xu Zhen himself is using craftsman's tools to improve the strength of his military equipment, and his military strength can be improved, which is why Su Wei can be so brave.

No wonder that even though Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can often get the most elite armaments, they are still not as good as Xu Zhen's Suwei camp.

"Students understand! In the future, I will definitely read a lot of books, so that what I have learned will not fall into the mold."

Xu Zhen nodded slightly, and accompanied Pu Feng and others to stir up the horse's iron stirrups, and then personally led the team to patrol the camp.

Until the first half of the night was almost over, Xu Zhen came back and changed a team of soldiers, and then went out to explore for about ten miles, stationed for an hour to check the past spies.

Sure enough, at the time of Chou, when only the moonlight was faintly visible, he caught a fast horse on a trail ten miles away and walked alone at night.

So he shot him deliberately, and brought his body back to the barracks, and found that it was Liu Biao's spy in Xudu, who brought the letter at this time to Jingzhou.

This letter can be found by searching, it is nothing more than explaining the situation in Xudu for Liu Biao at this time, the letter only knows that the number of soldiers and horses is decreasing, and Cao Cao has been constantly dispatching troops from Xudu to approach Huaiyang.

But did not get the exact number, and there is no deployment map.

This scene made many recruits immediately admire him.

"I can really catch..."

"No wonder we are asked to go out ten miles. Although we are in Chenliu, who would have thought that there are really fast horses traveling at night."

"This small road is not a commercial road in the first place. There have been no merchants running for so many years. Seeing him walk like this...Of course it is careful work."

"Tonight, Junhou actually took us to scout the sentry in person."

"I, I have nothing to say, the Lord is so leading the way, why not contribute to the army?"

"In the future, we must not slack off in patrolling and patrolling. Just follow what Junhou said today, and then go out a few miles away."

"In this way, we can protect the surrounding dangers and perform our duties better!"

"Okay! I will not refuse, so I can survive on the battlefield, and fighting every night must not be violated."

"The style of self-discipline starts from the emperor and descends, and every general should be like this."

"In the future, the military order will be like a mountain, and we will strive to use it like an arm."

"I listen to the lord, how he arranges me to listen, it's the first night I am stationed on patrol, and I have made meritorious service!"

It took less than a stick of incense for Xu Zhen to visit the sentry tonight, and he had already started talking with each other in the camp where the recruits slept peacefully, and everyone was very excited.

Although it was not a great achievement, it was indeed something that made most of the rookies in the camp so excited that they couldn't sleep all night.

After Choushi, Xu Zhencai returned to Chenliunei from the barracks, and quickly returned to the backyard of the government office to sleep peacefully.

Fortunately, everything is fine at home, knowing that Xu Zhen came back, Gan Mei fetched water, washed him off his fatigue, took a bath for about half an hour, and fell asleep together again.

Chen Shi woke up again.

After such a day, Xu Zhen can actually get 400 points, more than before.

And he needs to continue to persist in this way to get more, and even continue to increase various attributes.

Others worked harder and became more tired, but Xu Zhen became more energetic.

So Xu Zhen persisted for three days, and finally waited for Xu Chu to come.

That night, Xu Zhen had just returned from his tour of the camp when he heard the news of Xu Chu's return, and he brought Zhao Yun to Xu Zhen.

The two met at the gate of Daying.

Xu Zhen's legs were all muddy, his body was covered with dust, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, as if he had just returned from the mud.

Gein, because of the heavy rain today, the roads in the mountains are muddy and difficult to walk, and they are covered with mud.

The same is true of the soldiers following him.

Xu Zhen was drenched in the rain, and walked quickly towards Zhao Yun. When he came in front of him, he wiped his hands on his chest, squinted his eyes and stretched out his fists, "I am... Xu Zhen, named Bowen."

Simple self-introduction, without official name.

But since Zhao Yun was willing to come, he naturally knew Xu Zhen's official position, and he had heard a lot from Xu Chu along the way.

At first, he might feel a little uneasy, but when he got on the road, Zhao Yun believed it, especially after passing through Puyang, the soldiers at the checkpoints along the way respected Xu Chu quite a lot.

Along the way, even wherever he went, there were people who wanted to buy a drink, but Xu Chu refused one by one, and hurried along with Zhao Yun.

He hurried back to Chen Liulai.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun saw this scene as soon as he arrived, which really shocked him.

After all, it was raining so heavily that ordinary military camps were unwilling to go out to patrol the camp, but the troops in Chenliu's camp were willing to go out on patrol.

What made him even more unexpected was that this tall and straight general who was covered in mud in the rain was actually Xu Zhen.

"My servant, Zhao Zilong, from Changshan."

Zhao Yun was wearing a moon-white robe with slight black lines, the texture was not bad, it was not pure white.

He doesn't look poor.

Or be a bandit to support people.

Xu Zhen thought silently in his heart.

"The body of the king and marquis Wan Jin actually patrols the camp in person. I am afraid that all the soldiers in the camp will not be excited."

Xu Zhen immediately sighed, "It's not what I want. If I had a choice, I would certainly like to read books from Xianghuo at home."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled admiringly. He could feel that Xu Zhen's words came from the heart.

Immediately clasped his fists and said: "I understand that the world is difficult, and it is my duty to help the Han family and save the people from the fire and water. The righteousness of the king is awe-inspiring."

Xu Zhen's face remained unchanged, and he waved his hands, "It has nothing to do with those."

"I've been waiting for you to come, and now it's here, rest for three hours, and send troops to Lujiang at Chenshi."

"So fast?"

Xu Chu immediately asked.

"Awei is probably almost at Runan." Xu Zhen walked halfway, with a normal face, and immediately said: "Our soldiers and horses are lagging behind, but fortunately we are traveling with food and grass, and it is not bad."

"Since Zilong is here, show me a thousand elite riders, and I will take you to see the military equipment."

"After you get the horses, you can practice on the way."

"Junhou——" Zhao Yun felt a little sorry, and was about to say no, but Xu Zhen raised his hand immediately.

"Worried about not being able to convince the public? It doesn't matter, I have been practicing day and night for you these days."

"Although these soldiers and horses are new recruits, they are already very tough, and most of the horses are good horses. If Zilong has any questions, he can wait until he is on the road."

"The situation is urgent now, so it is not good to delay."

"This," Zhao Yun wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it for a while, besides, his mood was very complicated now.

This gentleman...it feels as if the two of them used to be very familiar.

Moreover, he knows my past, his brother's family background, and why I went to join Gongsun Zan back then.

and……

Zhao Yun reached into his bosom and squeezed the gold in the kit, his heart suddenly warmed up, he immediately nodded his head, and said solemnly: "Zilong will definitely live up to his mission and make contributions to the prince."

"You don't have to do it for me," Xu Zhen waved his hand again, "It's for the big man."

You still have to shout the slogan correctly, otherwise the eldest son will be unhappy when he hears it.

……

three hours.

After Xu Zhen had a sweet date with Gan Mei at home, she entrusted her with some matters.

The 1000 people left in the city are all cronies. If there is something to do, Min Yue can send someone to handle it.

These people are dead brothers.

If you have financial difficulties, you can send someone to find Dong Fang. If you want to study or travel with company, you can talk to the female doctor who has newly acquired the house.

Cai Zhaoji still has an official position in Xudu, and female officials are nothing more than literary officials and female doctors.

There are also some ad hoc official positions.

After the arrangements were made, Xu Zhencai led his army out.

According to his estimation, the battlefield at this time may have become more and more anxious, and he needs to speed up the march if he wants to succeed.

This battle will surely win fame.

After gaining fame and making achievements, he can be promoted to a higher official, and the court will naturally become more stable, which is completely different from Xu Dugangding before.

At that time, you can sit back and relax.
