Cao Cao briefly introduced Xu Chu and Xi Zhicai, and then both sides got to the point.

Both sides looked at each other and understood that both sides attached great importance to this matter, and this was good news for both sides.

Several people sat solemnly, waiting for Cao Cao to speak.

"Is there anything you can teach me?" After everyone was seated, Cao Cao did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I'm here for the Mongols and the Qing court. I wonder how much you know!" Li Shi, who was dressed as a civil servant, looked at Cao Cao calmly and said. Hearing this, Xi Zhicai looked thoughtful.

Obviously, this was a blatant test to see how much intelligence they had.

"My King Wu has just defeated the Qing army! The Qing army showed up unexpectedly, and our only knowledge of them comes from the captives."

After thinking for a moment, Xi Zhicai slowly spoke.

"King Wu, may I ask your name?" Li Shi seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"Sun Quan, the King of Wu!" Xi Zhicai answered with narrowed eyes. Since the other party knew them, they were in a passive position.

He originally wanted to talk about Sun Jian, but when he got to this point, he suddenly remembered that Sun Quan inherited Sun Jian's position, and he paused for a moment before speaking.

"Guan Yu, Cao Cao, Sun Quan... I thought it was a coincidence, but I didn't expect that this New Han Dynasty was actually the reinvention of the world after the Eastern Han Dynasty?" Li Shi frowned.

Of course he knew the reputation of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms. At first he thought it was just a coincidence, but with so many coincidences, he couldn't help but think about it.

"Do you know the details of the Qing court?"

Seeing Li Shi silent, Xi Zhicai asked.

They answered Li Shi's questions, and now it was naturally Li Shi's turn to answer them.

Since both parties want to cooperate, they must both show some sincerity. Xi Zhicai did not ask about the Mongols, but instead targeted the Qing court.

"I know a thing or two!" When Li Shi heard Xi Zhicai's question, he immediately organized his thoughts and answered.

"Can you tell me something?" Xi Zhicai asked with a smile. Judging from Li Shi's attitude, they should have some cooperation this time.

"Of course. We came here to exchange information with you!" Li Shi pondered for a moment, then began to introduce the situation of the Qing court.

This is different from Mu Yi and his team, who failed to capture the senior generals of the Qing Dynasty and were completely in the dark.

The Ming Dynasty and the Mongols had been fighting for several years, and naturally they had infiltrated each other a lot, and naturally knew more about each other's situation.

From Li Shi's mouth, Xi Zhicai and others finally uncovered the true face of the Qing court and completed the unification of the world.

Currently, it is considered an ally of the Mongol Empire, and they have formed an alliance to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

The situation on the battlefield between the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty was tense. The sudden intervention of the Qing court was like a weight that broke the balance, causing the Ming Dynasty to suffer considerable losses.

All the advantages that the Ming Dynasty had previously gained during the period when the Mongols lost a military god were lost, and the situation between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols returned to the starting point.

Because of historical issues, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were sworn enemies, so the Ming Dynasty had no intention of negotiating peace.

The purpose of sending out manpower is to find allies and find out the movements of the Qing court in order to determine the position of the Qing court.

You have to pick on the weak. Both the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols knew that they couldn't defeat each other in a short time, so the Ming Dynasty planned to attack the Qing Dynasty and was actively looking for the Qing Dynasty's place in the world.

This time, the contact with Cao Cao and others was also an accidental event.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai looked at each other. The asymmetry of information between the two sides made them immediately realize some things that Li Shi had not said.

However, neither of them said it explicitly, but hid everything in their eyes.

The two sides began to exchange intelligence in depth, and each side got a lot of what it needed.

Li Shi's eyes were full of excitement. He just revealed some information. What made him excited was that they had found a new force, a force that had a grudge against the Qing court and the Mongols.

Moreover, from the battle reports relayed by Xi Zhicai, one can get a glimpse of the whole picture and understand the approximate power of the Xinghan Empire.

In fact, this is not the first time they have come into contact with forces that have disputes with the Qing court. Although their space-time gate technology does not have the buggy positioning and screening functions like Mu Yi, they can rely on abilities such as astronomical phenomena and prophecies to search for new worlds in a targeted manner.

In order to break the impasse and reduce current risks, they chose a world related to the Qing court.

After all, if divination is done with the Mongols as the target, the impact will be extremely great. Even if the imperial will of the Ming Empire is used, it will be difficult to get any information. After all, the status of the Ming Empire and the Mongols is absolutely the same.

The Qing court was relatively inferior, but relying on Qing court captives, they were able to carry out some targeted screening.

However, the forces they encountered in the world they had opened up before were basically weaklings whose courage had been broken by the Qing court. The Ming Dynasty had no interest in even accepting such existence as dogs, and they were not worthy of their serious attention at all.

After a brief contact, the connection was cut off directly.

What the Ming Dynasty needed was a force that could contain the Qing court and pose a threat to the Mongols, rather than a group of weaklings that needed their support.

They do not have the energy and time to support those weak burdens. What they urgently need now is a force like Xinghan that can win in local battlefields.

During the process of exchanging intelligence, Li Shi was completely certain that Cao Cao and his men were not lying, but had really had contact and battle with the Qing court.

Cao Cao and his men also obtained sufficient information and intelligence, which was enough for them to report to Luoyang and obtain more assistance.

The two sides negotiated until late at night and exchanged a large amount of information.

Not only did they have some conversations with the Qing court, but there were also some discussions about the ideas between the two empires. The two sides had a very pleasant conversation, and Cao Cao set up a dinner to entertain the two envoys.

"Please introduce us, King Wei. We want to go to Luoyang to pay homage to the Emperor of your country!"

As the banquet was about to end, Li Shi stood up and asked Cao Cao.

"Of course. Once your delegation is ready, I will send someone to escort them to the empire."

In order to demonstrate the magnanimity of the empire, Cao Cao did not refuse, but instead accepted the request with a smile on his face.

As an envoy, Li Shi was naturally a very versatile person. After seeing Cao Cao agreed, he immediately gave Cao Cao a gift.

After the banquet, Cao Cao looked at the gift in his hand with an uncertain expression. It was not until Xi Zhicai walked into the room that he calmed down and looked at Xi Zhicai.

"How is it?" Cao Cao asked.

"It has been confirmed in Luoyang that it is indeed the handwriting of the God of War, and there is no problem with it!" There was also some gloom between Xi Zhicai's brows.

Li Shi gave them a set of military books, "Treatise on Soldiers", which was written by the God of War himself and was unanimously recognized by Han Xin and others. The most important thing was that this thing could solve Cao Cao's urgent needs and had quite unique insights on training, especially it listed a type of double-talented legion that could be quickly trained, which was the legion Cao Cao needed most at the moment.

Generally speaking, it is a kind of oath legion, which can gain combat effectiveness by making an oath, but its emphasis is no longer on restraining oneself, but on controlling others, or in other words, oath checks and balances.

By making an oath of three rules with the soldiers, we can ensure their combat effectiveness and loyalty and quickly build a double-talented legion.

However, not only did the combat effectiveness of the corresponding soldiers collapse, but the main general who signed the contract and the medium who served as the guarantor could not escape the backlash.

After all, after Guan Yu conquered the surrounding areas, he would eventually leave. Once Guan Yu left, they would be beaten back to their original form in an instant, and the soldiers lent to Liu Bei would not be able to come back for a while.

The captured troops left behind by Guan Yu became the force that Cao Cao wanted to use the most. However, these prisoners had basically become Guan Yu's fanatical followers and would not recognize anyone except Guan Yu.

However, if this contract could be completed under the witness of Guan Yu, it would immediately solve the urgent problem of Cao Cao not having enough power to maintain law and order in his territory.

Although the problem was solved, Cao Cao was not happy at all.

The more useful this thing is to them, the more the other party knows about them, which means that the other party has already infiltrated Cao Cao's army and has obtained a lot of intelligence about Cao Cao, including the relationship between Guan Yu and Cao Cao and a series of other situations.

This kind of behavior, which was like flexing muscles, made Cao Cao's mentality fluctuate. It was not a good thing to be completely understood by others.

"Let Luoyang deal with it. This thing is really useful to us!" Cao Cao said with a sigh.

Xi Zhicai nodded, and when he was about to raise his head to say something, he was stunned.

At this moment, Cao Cao was exuding a different kind of spirit. Although he had just suffered such a severe setback, there was no sign of weakness in him. Instead, he looked even more wise and brave.

All the previous impetuousness and arrogance of Cao Cao were swept away, and he looked as pure as a sword drawn from its sheath.

"It's fun to fight against this kind of opponent!"

Cao Cao looked at the dazed Xi Zhicai and laughed. Setbacks could not defeat him.

The next day, Cao Cao went to find Guan Yu and began to train the new army using the oath talent in "The Real Record of Military Training".

With Guan Yu's words, Cao Cao's progress went exceptionally smoothly.

By the time the Ming Dynasty's envoys actually arrived, Cao Cao already had 100,000 new troops.

The main reason for such a fast speed was that the captives following Guan Yu were of good quality and only needed a little guidance to complete their oath talents, thus solving two or three problems for Cao Cao in one go.

After the envoys arrived, Xi Zhicai personally accompanied them to Luoyang.

Although there is a space gate and teleportation only takes a moment, the necessary procedures still need to be followed. After all, we are all decent people, and going through the procedures will be more beneficial to mutual respect.

"What a sophisticated space teleportation technique!"

After Li Shi crossed the portal, his face looked a little solemn. This thing was one of the cornerstones of a cross-world empire. It was approaching the limit of the empire's territory and had always been linked to transportation.

The space gate technology is the greatest guarantee for solving the extreme problems. Without it, it is completely a dream for you to unify the world.

"Is that the wooden ox and horse?"

Li Shi followed the procedure and followed Xi Zhicai through the space gate, heading towards Luoyang along the official road from the outskirts of Luoyang City.

Li Shi didn't feel anything about the wide official road. The Ming Dynasty also had such roads. For the empire, it was impossible not to attach importance to transportation.

However, Li Shi was very interested in the wooden oxen and flowing horses walking on the official road. Based on the previous information, he immediately guessed that this was the legendary wooden oxen and flowing horses.

"That's right. This kind of mechanical beast can replace livestock and is very convenient in our lives!" Xi Zhicai introduced with a smile.

Anyone who is a Xinghan person would know these things, and Xi Zhicai has no intention of hiding them.

While the two were talking, a figure ran out from the envoy group, ran to a wooden ox, and quickly took the ox apart, scattering the goods it was pulling all over the ground.

"Damn it, what are you doing!"

The cargo owner, who was full of martial virtue, took out a steel knife from the side and planned to teach the troublemaker a lesson.

Before they could do anything, a giant wooden snake jumped out from the figure who was dismantling the wooden ox and tied up the owner of the goods.

"Bastard!" The owner of the goods, who had originally been somewhat cautious, immediately became furious. Not only did he cause trouble, he also wanted to hurt people. This was unacceptable.

Its body suddenly swelled up, and the wooden snake that bound it was instantly broken free. A big hand reached out to the figure who was dismantling the wooden ox.

However, the other party did not move, concentrating on studying the structure of the wooden ox.

And the moment the big hand grabbed the opponent, the wooden snake actually reorganized and wrapped him up again.

"Mr. Li Shi, I don't think this is the way to be a guest in the Ming Dynasty!" Xi Zhicai looked at Li Shi with an unfriendly look.

"Master Gongshu!" Li Shiren was stunned and quickly waved his hand to ask the guards to bring the person back.

While the two were talking, the man known as Master Gongshu quickly reassembled the disassembled wooden ox.

Then, without saying a word, he joined the team and began to write and draw in the void.

"Master Gongshu is a great craftsman who has devoted himself to studying mechanical things. I hope you will forgive me. We will bear all the compensation. I hope you can forgive me!"

Li Shi apologized quickly. The Ming Dynasty was powerful, but it was not this powerful.

He was a little overwhelmed for a moment. They came here to form an alliance, but they were causing trouble before they even entered Luoyang. Wasn't this just aiming to cause a rift?

I've heard that these masters all have eccentric personalities, but I didn't expect them to be this eccentric.

Xi Zhicai could not deny it, so he sent people to comfort the passers-by who had suffered an unexpected disaster, and converted the gold that Li Shi had compensated into an equal amount of currency and gave it to the other party.

"Please exercise some restraint, and don't let this happen again!"

Xi Zhicai also realized that Master Gongshu, like those in the Mohist school who were engaged in technology, were the kind of people who were oblivious to others, so he did not pursue the matter too much and just said so to Li Shi.

Before Li Shi could answer, Master Gongshu, who had been studying just now, snorted and spoke to himself.

"Hehe, it's nothing special. It's far inferior to Zhulou Feipeng!"

Xi Zhicai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, remembered Zhulou Feipeng in his mind, and then turned his gaze to Li Shi.

Li Shi suddenly felt overwhelmed. What was going on? (End of this chapter)
