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

Chapter 185 Just bully me, an honest person!
"I know what you want to say," Yang Xiu said with a helpless face, "I wrote this letter to tell Yuan Shao that I, Xu Du, have a good opinion of the big figures, in order to have an affair with Yuan Shao and win this battle? But I didn’t expect that by mistake, he would treat Xu Zhen lightly, leading to Vanguard’s defeat and Yan Liang’s beheading?”

"Hahaha!"

After he said this, he laughed again, looked at his father in a daze, and slowly stepped back two steps, as if to see this person clearly. This action made Yang Biao himself feel strange, why did he suddenly Looking at yourself with such eyes?

Yang Xiu shook his head slowly, raised one hand to his chest slightly, and said, "Father, are you still awake at this moment?"

"Of course I'm awake, what's wrong?"

What are you asking these words for?Listening to his son's tone, it seems that he is the one who is not sober. These few words made Yang Biao a little confused.

"Then why does father still refuse to admit that your role in this world is almost gone. Victory and defeat are definitely not something that can be controlled by a letter? Why do you think that Yuan Shao will definitely listen to what you said in the letter and change?" What do you think of Xu Zhen? Why bother to put so much pressure on yourself? If you are allowed to manage politics at this time, can you really restore the peace and prosperity of the Han Dynasty?"

Yang Xiu asked sincerely, with a serious expression on his face, he slowly approached Yang Biao with his steps, and even said a few words to his powerful father so that he bowed his head and did not look at each other, his face turned slightly slightly for a while. Red, I don't know how to answer.

"At this time, you still say you are awake?"

Yang Xiu stood still and smiled wryly.

"My son is already a doctor, and if he wants to enter the prime minister's mansion as an official in the future, I am afraid that sooner or later he will follow the sons of the Cao family. The Chen family has a son named Chen Qun. Now he is in the prefect's mansion of Yingchuan. In fact, he is Yuzhou Biejia. His father Passed away in the first half of this year; the Sima family has Zilang, who is now editing for the prince in the prime minister's mansion, and once edited for Dong Zhuozhi; the Zhong family has no sons, but the doctor supervises the Guanzhong army alone. How heroic, he will make great contributions in the future. It’s hard to beat anyone.”

"Regardless of the Han Dynasty or not, scholars all have a place to display their talents. My son is twenty-five years old this year. He is only three years younger than Xu Junhou, but he has just entered the conquest. If my father is still thinking about what to do Overthrowing the Han Dynasty, the so-called saving the emperor, I really don’t know when it will be the end, could it be that we want to drag the emperor and go to Chang’an to hold him down, and invite the princes from outside the pass to come to Qin Wang to guard, can’t we guard the Chang’an pass?”

Yang Xiu's words shook Yang Biao's mind for a moment, and he felt as if he was ten years older in an instant.What he said made him feel ashamed. After Dong Cheng died, Zhong Yao would no longer be with them. Many ministers and ministers in Xudu also remained silent and performed their duties in the court. In previous years, Yang Biao returned home to study history, and every time he got excited, he would scold "I walk alone in the court", and today I was a little bit awakened by my son's head-to-head questioning.

It turns out that the only person who is not sober is me instead?
Guarding the Chang'an Pass is tragic but ridiculous. What do they use to guard the Confucian scholars? They don't have military power under their command. The slaves in the family are counted as dead soldiers. They are nothing more than thousands of people. They are not allowed to enter Xudu. Entering will definitely be hindered by school affairs. Xu Zhen has not been in Xudu these years, but he helped Lord Guo to keep Xudu under strict supervision.

This trend is irreversible, the Son of Heaven is becoming more and more stable in the hands of the Cao family, and if he wants to bring down the Cao family, he has to guard against the prince surnamed Xu first, surrounded by powerful enemies, and then he has the ambition to help the Han. Do what you can, this is not the loneliness of walking alone, this may be an obsession that should have been abandoned long ago.Even the queen of the Fu family in the palace no longer secretly win over, I don't know why he persisted.

"You have grown up, Dezu."

Yang Biao lowered his head and looked at the wooden floor. The prosperity of the family is still there, but it is no longer dependent on him alone. His own son can make such a judgment today. He has indeed grown up. Gotta keep it.

"If you want to keep the Yang family, what should you do?"

"Let's put down your dignity and learn from Xu Junhou. This is the latest method. You can't rely on your name and pretend to be lofty! If you can discuss with him and help each other, it may not be a good thing in the future."

Yang Xiu straightened his back and said.

"Then if he refuses to make friends with you, what should he do?"

Lick if you can't catch up!
Yang Xiu gritted his teeth, need I say more? !I can understand this situation!Let go of your luck!It is really impossible for the broken horse-drawn carriage of the Han Dynasty to run for another life!

What else can I do now?No matter how great the prime minister's achievements are, he will definitely take precautions. Only this prince can show him everything calmly. But at an extremely critical moment in the future, if you add more icing on the cake, you can truly retire.

What happened to Dong Cheng back then is nothing to worry about, you can let the past go!

……

southern suburbs.

Xu Zhen came here on horseback, without the armor on his body, Chitu ran extremely happily, didn't even break a sweat, from Xudu to the southern suburbs, almost twenty miles galloped swiftly, and Xu Zhen It is also more familiar.

Shuanma was outside the gate, Xu Zhen didn't stay in front of the gate, and went straight to the blacksmith's place in the inner courtyard. After a short while, he heard the sound of a wooden saw. The hand saw originated from the Spring and Autumn Period. Now it has been improved to pull the saw, and there are many exquisite utensils .

Zhuge Liang took the full power and part-time job. There is no one official or half-job here. It was Xu Zhen who handed over all the people to him. Therefore, Zhuge Liang, who was already extremely talented, wrote the word "Heavenly Craftsmanship" on the plaque outside. .

This south courtyard is called Tiangongyuan.

Huang Zhong is also here. After he made his military exploits in southern Hebei, he did not celebrate too much. He followed Xu Zhen to the south and returned. After arriving in Xudu, he entered the Tiangong Academy. He also wanted to see if the hand crossbow was built. , whether it can make flat shooting easier, the ability of riding and shooting with bow and arrow, and the ability of hand crossbow hunting, how much military power can be improved each other, and he is also waiting. Practice for several days before it can be perfect.

For Xu Zhen, his time-limited task was only [-]% short of the hand crossbow.

But this time, they should not return empty-handed. When Xu Zhen walked into the inner courtyard, two people, one old and one young, followed, Huang Zhong and his son Huang Xu followed.

Zhuge Liang came to meet him and bowed and saluted, his face was overjoyed, "Master, this time it really worked! It's just that there is no trigger as you said, and it can only fire six arrows instantly, and then it will cost a little to reassemble."

"Won't that become a hidden weapon?"

Xu Zhen responded in astonishment, "No, it's not exactly true!"

After he said this, he immediately had a new idea. After his command and intelligence were high, his thoughts were very fast. Said: "Can you train more, divide the soldiers and horses into several pairs, and shoot arrows one by one. Using Wenyuan's cavalry training method, you can also train well."

"Hahaha!"

Huang Zhong laughed boldly, and immediately waved his hands and said: "Why is this so? You don't need to specially call Wenyuan back, I can train him, but if you want to hunt and fight like this, the army should not be elite archers, but rangers, then why not?" It takes four thousand war horses! There are only two thousand in the army now!"

That’s right, this is another problem. There is indeed a lot of military resources now, but I don’t know where to buy horses. You don’t need horses to defend the city, but when you start fighting in the spring of next year, there will be no horses on the Jizhou Plain. These archers will really be useless. Well, besides ambush, where is there a better effect.

Xu Zhen's good mood was immediately deteriorated by this sentence, and he said with a bitter face: "War really costs money, if only the lieutenant soldiers can follow spontaneously and don't need military pay."

This can save tens of thousands of gold and military funds, and he is willing to buy a horse at a high price, but if he really wants to go to that point, how attractive is he?Up to two hundred?

Both Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong looked at him with a faint and helpless expression, and were silenced by this sentence, thinking about good things.Junhou is not only capable of both civil and military skills, but also quite good at dreaming.

"It's really not possible, why don't you borrow it from the eldest son with a shy face?" Zhuge Liang talked about another plan quite casually, "What the students can guarantee now is that there will be six thousand or even seven thousand hand crossbows in the spring of next year. But if you want to truly exert its power, you still need a war horse."

"Master is doing his part. Why don't you give me [-] horses? There's nothing wrong with that. If I have master's achievements and reputation, I would dare to ask for [-] horses!"

Zhuge Liang's virtues already look like a bastard. Xu Zhen knew without thinking that Dian Wei taught him. It's not easy to be a master these days, and an apprentice will be led astray by a traitor if he is a little careless. It doesn't make sense.

Where are there [-] horses in Xudu?At most, I want six or seven thousand. This is the result of many years of dedication to raising horses, and the continuous deceit and robbery of those horse dealers, or the profit from the war. Of course, I also want to thank the heavens. In these places full of life, when the grass grows and the warblers fly, there is so much grass that they can afford it.

"That's the only thing! As long as the master wants to get the horse, he will definitely be able to make a difference, and it may be the trump card of the big battle!"

"Is it really impossible to find a way to break through?!" Xu Zhen is indeed no longer a carpenter, and Zhuge Liang, a young genius, can't make these things, which means that it is really impossible in a short time.

In this regard, Zhuge Liang nodded solemnly and passionately, "Impossible! If it is more detailed, I am afraid it will take several months to carve a crossbow."

"Alternatively, you can practice with your bow and arrow."

Huang Zhong looked at Xu Zhen sincerely.

Among the three armies, only his elite archer battalion has never been famous, and the armored cavalry has the name of drinking horses at Guandu, and entered Yuan Shao's Guandu ferry camp three times, killing people on their backs; Baili helps Xu Zhen kill Yan Liang.Only the elite archers seemed to be shy girls, wearing red hijabs and never showing any signs of dew. No one in the army said anything, but the upright General Huang Hansheng couldn't sit still.

He came here not to mention fame and meritorious service, but to accumulate some wealth for his son in the future. At least he must pay back Xu Zhen's favor before he can talk about the word "serving his life". Otherwise, what he said would be empty words, so he was so anxious. Incredible.

"No hurry!"

Xu Zhen looked at his helpless expression, and said that he couldn't be in a hurry, but in fact, he was already anxious in his heart, where are the four thousand horses going to come.

Huang Zhong still refused to turn his face away, opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally said, "When I came, all the [-] troops in Jiujiang knew about it."

"Damn it, I'll get it for you!"

Xu Zhen glared cursingly, and broke her defenses in front of Huang Xu. This sentence was originally from his mouth, and there were five parts of inspiration and five parts of heavy expectation in these words!

What he didn't expect was that Huang Zhong's utterance at this time turned out to be [-] points lethal, so Chi Tu had just rested for a stick of incense, and was inexplicably ridden up by Xu Zhen, who pulled the rein and slapped him Buttocks, and then happily embarked on the road back to Xudu.

……

However, Xu Zhen didn't go back to Xu Du to go to the prime minister's mansion first. The main reason was that he knew that it would not be easy for Cao Cao to give him four thousand war horses. For this kind of nonsense, he had to find a professional.

So when Xu Zhen arrived outside Xudu, among Dianwei's Qinghu camp, Xu Zhen's Qinghu camp, which was the former Suwei camp, had always been under the command of Dianwei himself.

When he first arrived, Dian Wei was counting money and food with a scribe under his command in the tent, and the two of them were about to fight. When he saw Xu Zhen quickly kicked the meritorious Cao who was pulled out of the ranks, he hurriedly Give up your seat to Xu Zhen.

With a clang, Xu Zhen threw Hu Liuli on the table, with a cold light shining everywhere.

This knife almost beheaded Yan Liang, but it was only half a little short, and it was snatched by Shuhou knife. Otherwise, the value would have increased by about a hundred gold. Of course, Dian Wei wanted this knife. Seeing Xu Zhen's appearance, he was short of money, and he was going to exchange things on credit.

"What?"

"Four thousand horses are missing."

"Four thousand horses?!" Dian Wei's eyes were as big as copper bells, his beard was trembling, and the corners of his mouth were raised. This was directly laughed at by Xu Zhen. He was stunned for a moment and then ran all the way to Xu Zhen. , smiled and said: "No problem! You can take me to buy it."

"It's better to sell more cattle than pull the head cattle," Xu Zhen gave him a blank look, "find a way to get some! Save it! Otherwise, I will have to take away the horses in your camp first!"

"That's too simple. If you put this knife on the prime minister's case, wouldn't you have it?!"

Why do you always come to harm me! ?Have you never thought of fighting with the prime minister? !
Just bully honest people!
As soon as Dian Wei heard that he was going to ride away, he immediately jumped. He knew Xu Zhen too well. It didn’t matter whether the words were serious or not. It will definitely become true.

"Then you go with me? You saved him in Wancheng!"

"Then you saved me in Wancheng!"

Dian Wei said angrily, didn't you let me mention this last time! ?
"Then I'll let you go with me, let's go! Come with me!!" Xu Zhen took Dian Wei's hand and left. Now he is very strong, reasonable in his words, and has an imposing manner, making Dian Wei No matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to fight with Xu Zhen. She struggled a few times, but she didn't struggle before. When she reached the gate of Daying, she shook it vigorously, "Let's go!"

"I'm sick!"
