Cao Thief

Chapter 100 The name is beyond words ([-])

Cao Peng is dumbfounded!

Training soldiers, running the army?
This thing is probably too advanced.That's right, Cao Peng is a time traveler, but he was just a criminal policeman in his previous life, how could he understand these things?
Dian Wei stared, his face full of anticipation.

But Dianman blinked and blinked, which made Cao Peng's hair stand on end.

If I had known earlier, I should have brought Wei Yan here.At least in terms of military management, Wei Yan is definitely a hundred times better than Cao Peng.It's a pity that Wei Yan is now in Runan, and it is said that he is doing very well and has won the trust of many people.It is estimated that it will not be long before the position of Sima in a county is indispensable...

"Afu, is there a way?"

"Have!"

Cao Peng bit the bullet, gritted his teeth, and answered with a forced laugh.

It seems that this is a must have...

"However, Uncle Dian, the method of training and running an army cannot be figured out at once. Let me go back and think about it carefully, how about it?"

Dian Wei chicken nodded repeatedly, "Hurry up, time is running out!"

This ramming goods, do you know that time is running out?

Cao Peng couldn't help but wry smile, if I knew this, why did you go there?
Originally, I planned to come here to explain Dian Wei, but I didn't expect to get myself involved.Cao Peng was full of worries, so he bid farewell and left Huben Mansion.

Dian Wei was also quite interesting, so he asked Dian Man to follow him to the largest pharmacy in Xudu.What herbs Cao Peng needs are directly put on the account of Huben Mansion.Cao Peng bought the medicine not because he was sick, but because he felt that his energy and blood had reached a bottleneck recently. If he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to borrow external help.The old martial artist in the previous life gave him some prescriptions, which can temper the muscles and bones, and strengthen the blood.

Cao Peng was also polite, bought all the herbs and returned to Wubao.

Training soldiers, running the army...

How to start with this thing?
After Cao Peng returned to Wupu, he thought hard and couldn't find a clue.

Sitting blankly in the study alone, flipping through the scrolls on the table.This is the "Sima Law" dug out from Deng Ji's room, and it is also a very popular art of war in the Han Dynasty. "Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu"?It can be seen everywhere in later generations, but in this era, not everyone can have it.Dian Wei has such a condition, but unfortunately he has no love for scrolls, and there is no collection of books at home.

It was not easy for Cao Peng to find this Sima Law.

Looking at the uncommon and difficult words and sentences above, Cao Peng was a little dazed...

How nice would it be to have a copy of "The New Book of Meng De" in hand?By the way, I don't know if Cao Cao has started writing Meng De's new book now?

In history, Cao Cao once wrote a military book, but it was a pity that Zhang Song got angry and destroyed it in a rage.

Now that I am reborn, do I want to protect this book of war?
Cao Peng shook his head suddenly, not thinking about how to train and manage the army, why did he think of Meng De's new book?Concentrate, concentrate!

Just when Cao Peng was in trouble, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers from outside the house.

"It's done, it's done!"

Cao Peng was startled, got up and walked out of the room.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, he saw Wang Maifeng running from the stove shed, shouting from a distance: "Ah Fu, uncle is done!"

"What became?"

"Knife, knife, knife..."

Wang Mai was so excited that he couldn't speak, he stuttered for a while, but he couldn't speak clearly.

Fortunately, Cao Peng understood, and grabbed Wang Mai's arm, "You mean, my father succeeded in making a knife?"

Wang Mai nodded excitedly, before he could speak, Cao Peng had already passed by him like the wind and rushed towards the stove shed.

In the stove shed, there was thunderous cheers.

Xia Houlan and Zhou Cang were shirtless, shouting and screaming excitedly.

Cao Ji's expression was agitated, and his face was distorted.In his hand, he held a four-foot-long boshou knife, and tears glistened in his eyes.

The first knife is a casting method that uses the knife stem as a whole.

It is four feet three inches long, which is 99 centimeters, less than one meter.The hilt is about 20 cm long, and the stem is as thick as two fingers, round and firm.Looks great with a black lacquered mahogany handle.Different from ordinary Fushou Dao, this Fushou Dao has added a papaya hand guard, which can effectively prevent blood from flowing to the handle.The papaya has a rounded curve, and the [-] cm long blade is slender and straight.

The edge of the knife presents a slight arc, which can moderately enhance the chopping power.

It is about three fingers wide, and the blade presents a strange dark red color.Under the light of the fire, the edge of the knife has blood flowing, which can shock people's hearts.

There can be a blood groove on both sides of the knife, which can speed up the bloodletting.

On the whole, this first knife can be seen at a glance, it is a superior work...

On the platform outside the stove shed, there were twenty bundles stacked on top of each other, but the top ten bundles were cut into two halves.

"Friend, ten slaps, ten slaps!"

When Cao Ji saw Cao Peng, he rushed over excitedly, shouting and jumping like crazy.

Ten cards?

Cao Peng was taken aback, and reached out to take the Jushou knife from Cao Ji's hand.

This first knife can be said to have condensed the hard work of Cao Ji and Cao Peng's father and son.Cao Peng participated in the whole process from shape, casting, and tempering.

On the basis of the original Fushou knife, the design of papaya hand guard and blood tank has been added, which basically matches the characteristics of later generations of steel knives.At the same time, after repeated experiments, Cao Ji added the blood of the five animals in the first quenching process, and he has perfected the spirit in the sword.

The ancients made soldiers and paid attention to blood sacrifices.

From Ou Yezi to the general Mo Xie, there are all similar myths and legends.

Therefore, this method of blood sacrifice has penetrated into the bones of craftsmen of this era.Even after he got the method of drowning and quenching fire, Cao Ji couldn't help but wanted to keep the rules of blood sacrifice.Therefore, in the drowning of the five animals, the blood of the five animals is added, and it is the hard work of the five animals.This also made the forged Fushou knife seem a little lacking in luster, but it added a bit of blood.

"This knife can break ten shards?"

Zhou Cang said loudly: "That's right, Brother Cao tried it just now, and he can break ten shards."

Three Zha and Ten Zha, it sounds like there is not much difference between them, but in fact, there is an essential difference.

Cao Peng held the steel saber, walked to the side of the wooden platform, exerted all his strength, and swung the saber out.There was a series of clicking sounds, and the armor broke off one after another.

"A good knife, it really is a good knife!"

Cao Peng couldn't help but admired loudly.

"Father, how many knives were used this time?"

Cao Ji waved his hand, and saw Xia Houlan and the others come out of the stove shed, holding out [-] shou knives of the same style.

"If we work harder, how much can we pay by June?"

Cao Ji said: "At present, there are a total of forty knives. If we step up, it is estimated that by June, there will be about twenty more..."

Twenty?
A thought suddenly flashed in Cao Peng's mind.

"Fifty sticks."

"what?"

"Father, we have to make 36 good knives to match the number of Tiangang."

Cao Ji frowned, and the excitement on his face gradually disappeared.He pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Friend, just now I said twenty, which is almost the limit. If there are more...I'm worried that I won't be able to guarantee the level of this knife. What are you doing with this number?"

Cao Peng laughed loudly, "Father, there is a mystery in my request.

By the way, these twelve knife spines need to be engraved with knife inscriptions.I will write out the inscription in a while, and then every knife in the future must have this kind of writing...Xiahou, as soon as the day breaks, you go to the city immediately and find Dian Zhonglang.Remember to spread the word and ask Dian Zhonglang to try the knife. "

Xia Houlan immediately agreed, and excitedly returned to the furnace shed with the knife in her hand.

Zhou Cang stood aside, his eyes burning, revealing the color of envy and longing...

These days, through contact with Zhou Cang, Cao Peng generally got to know him a little bit.This is also a real person with a solid heart and no twists and turns.He said before that he didn't want to go to the Huben Army, and he said it from the bottom of his heart.According to Zhou Cang's understanding, the Huben army is a member of the central guard. Although they can often contact Cao Cao, they rarely have the opportunity to fight.But Zhou Cang is a typical militant.

Not only Zhou Cang, most of the people who came from Tufushan were like this.

So Dianwei recruited Huben, and only thirty or so people from Tufushan passed.The rest, some of them were old, simply looked for jobs in Wubao.Some are willing to follow Zhou Cang, counting their fingers, and there are about 30 to [-] people, waiting for the opportunity with Zhou Cang.

"Brother Cao..."

"Ok?"

Zhou Cang scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Can I ask you something?"

"what's up?"

"If you have free time, how about helping me with a big knife... I, I, I don't ask much, if I can break three shackles, I will be satisfied."

The reason why he said it so coyly was because Zhou Cang knew very well the value of a good knife.

Don't say that he can't afford it, even if he can afford it, there is no place to buy it... It is foreseeable that if Cao Ji can make these 36 knives, his reputation...it will be amazing to think about it.At that time, people who wanted to find Cao Ji to make knives would probably have to line up from Xudu to Luoyang.

Unexpectedly, Cao's family laughed loudly, stepped forward and put an arm around Zhou Cang's shoulder.

"Old Zhou, what are you talking about? My brother, I either don't make it, or I will make a better knife than this."

In the words, there is a strong self-confidence.

People are like this, when they fail to achieve anything, the more they fail, the more they shrink back, the less confident they are; but once they succeed, this self-confidence is established, and the whole person's appearance will be completely new.Looking at Cao Ji at this time, how could he still be as timid as when he was in Zhongyang Town?
Cao Peng held a steel knife and couldn't help laughing!
"Brother Cao..."

"Okay, my brothers don't speak foreign words." Cao Ji patted Zhou Cang on the shoulder, turned his head and shouted to him: "Let's tidy up the inside first, don't make it messy until tomorrow. Friends, since you want to 36 Branch, then I will work hard, and I will make it."

Cao Peng chuckled, looked at the steel knife, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

----------------------

"Have you heard that Grandmaster Cao really made a precious sword!"

"That's right, I heard that if you place them in a row, all of them can cut off the three shards... It is said that even the Master Attendant knew about it, so he ran to Huben's mansion early in the morning and asked for a test of the knife."

"It's not just a saber test, Master Sizhong also specifically asked Grandmaster Cao to make a saber for him."

The news of Cao Ji's making of knives spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xudu in a day, as if he had grown wings.

For a time, the name of Master Cao was known to all passers-by.If you ask who is 'Grandmaster Cao'?It is estimated that the people around will look at you with disdain, such and such, such and such, and after talking about it, they will give you a big white eyeball at the end.

Cao Ji is really famous!

Although the knife he created has not yet appeared in front of the world, it has already started to become popular in the market.

I don't know who started it, declaring that if anyone can get him a sword made by Cao Ji, he is willing to exchange it with a thousand yi gold.

"Thousands of gold? This guy is crazy!"

"Crazy?" Someone immediately said: "If you can exchange a thousand yi gold for a Tiangang knife, I will give you two thousand yi."

"Tiangang knife?"

"I don't understand... Hehe, it is said that Grandmaster Cao made knives this time, corresponding to Tiangang Disha. There are 36 Tiangang knives, each of which corresponds to one of the 36 stars of Tiangang. This kind of knife not only cuts iron like mud, but also brings With the power of the stars, the power is infinite.

If the 36 star kings of Tiangang hadn't come into the world, who could use it? "

"Is there such a thing?"

As soon as the person who asked the question came out, an old man with a bright head stood up next to him and said, "It is said that you are ignorant, you are really... the servant also took a fancy to one of them, but he wanted to try it, and almost hurt himself." Myself. That knife has spirituality."

"Yes, yes, I heard that the Master Attendant specially invited Grandmaster Cao's son-in-law to drink, offering ten thousand gold for a knife."

The person who asked the question suddenly grinned and was dumbfounded...

——————————————————————————————

"Uncle and grandson, when did I ask you for a knife?"

On the way to Wupu, Xun Yu couldn't help teasing Deng Ji.

These days of communication made Xun Yu's affection for Deng Ji sharply increased... Along the way, he couldn't help joking: "I just had a drink with you, but it has become like this. Uncle, you But if you want to pay me well, how about asking your father-in-law to make a knife for me?"

"Wen Ruo, don't even think about it."

Before Deng Ji could answer, Dian Wei spoke first.

"If you want to make a knife, make it for me first."

Xun Yu wondered, "Aren't the 36 Tiangang knives made by Grandmaster Cao yours?"

Dian Wei smiled wryly and shook his head, "I thought so too at first, but... I couldn't get any of those knives, and a lot of materials were wasted."

"By the way, those knives of yours were really forged by Qiwu from the Western Regions?"

"Of course!"

Xun Yu stared at Dian Wei, and suddenly laughed, "Jun Ming, do you know that when you lie, there is an obvious loophole?"

"what?"

"Every time you tell a lie, you don't dare to look up and meet people's eyes."

Dian Wei quickly raised his head, his tiger eyes widened, "Wen Ruo, why am I afraid to look at each other?"

Deng Ji couldn't help laughing too, pointed at Dian Wei and said, "Dian Zhonglang, you've been fooled by Wen Ruo again..."

Dian Wei looked at Deng Ji, then at Xun Yu, but couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.His foolish appearance caused Xun Yu and Deng Ji to burst out laughing again.

When the three of them came to the gate of Wubao, they saw Mrs. Zhang and Cao Nan, who were about to go out.

Counting the days, Cao Nan is six months pregnant, her belly is swollen, and she looks two times fatter than when she was in Jiyang.

Cao Pengdianman, Wang Mai and Deng Fan each rode a horse, while Deng Juye sat on the cart and had already set up the chariot battle.

"Uncle Sun, why are you back?"

Seeing Deng Ji, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help calling out.

Afterwards, he bowed to Dian Wei to salute, took another look at Xun Yu, and gave a slight blessing.

"Mom, are you going to..."

Since Dianwei formed Huben, Deng Ji stayed in Xudu City most of the time to assist Dianwei.

After all, with the experience of Nine Girls City, Deng Ji is also very clear about military affairs.Anyway, he is mainly responsible for clerical work, so he is very familiar with it.

Mrs. Zhang scolded: "You stay in the city all day, and you don't come home. Ah Nan doesn't see you worrying about it... She is not feeling well, so I will take her to the city to see a doctor. This is about to happen. Oh, you are a father, you are not in a hurry at all..."

In a word, Deng Ji blushed and looked at Cao Nan guiltily.

And Cao Nan smiled gently, "Mother, isn't your uncle and grandson busy with official duties? Don't blame him! Besides, there is someone to take care of the family, and Aunt Hong is also very dedicated. Mother, are you annoying your daughter?" If so, the daughter will never dare to trouble her mother again. "

Mrs. Zhang was in a hurry, and said quickly: "Stop talking nonsense, stop talking nonsense."

"Or, I'll go with you."

Deng Ji stepped forward and said softly to Cao Nan.

Cao Nan blushed, "It's just a woman's fault, what are you doing with me? There are distinguished guests here, so you can accompany Dian Zhonglang to talk with the guests.

Youniang and Ah Fu followed, nothing would happen.

On the contrary, you have lost a lot of weight... If you have nothing to do at night, you can eat at home.Whatever you want to eat, just tell Aunt Hong. "

Deng Ji nodded slightly.

"Ah Fu, do you want to go out too?"

Dian Wei asked loudly.

Cao Peng scratched his head, "I happened to go to the city to do something, so I will go there with my mother and sister."

"Then what I asked you to do..."

"Uh, it's already finished. It's on the case in my study. Brother-in-law, you can take Dian Zhonglang there when the time comes. Let's go first!"

While talking, Cao Peng glanced at Xun Yu.

This person's temperament is really full...

Cao Peng didn't know Xun Yu, mainly because he didn't go out very often, and Xun Yu had never been to Wupu, so neither of them had seen each other.

As everyone knows, when Cao Peng looked at Xun Yu, Xun Yu was also looking at Cao Peng.

I have heard Deng Ji say more than once that he has a brother-in-law who is extremely intelligent and talented.Presumably this young man is the brother-in-law of his uncle and grandson?Judging by its appearance, it is not bad.Well, her demeanor sounds calm, without the flinch of a poor boy, nor the exaggeration of a child from an aristocratic family.The uncle and grandson's family is really not bad.The father-in-law is a master, and the wife is also considerate and gentle, even this brother-in-law is unusual.

Such a family will have great prospects in the future.

Cao Peng bowed slightly to Xun Yu on the horse, then bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Xun Yu also unexpectedly smiled at Cao Peng and cupped his hands...

"Ah Fu, you are not simple!" Dianman couldn't help but whispered.

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, "What's not simple?"

"Wen Ruogong is rarely so friendly with people. I usually don't smile when I see him, but today he laughed because of your salute, and even returned the salute."

"Wen Ruo?" Cao Peng thought the name sounded familiar.

"Is he great?"

"Servant, Shangshu Ling... When the lord is not in Xudu, he will preside over all internal and external affairs. Even my father should respect him a little bit."

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but look back.

At this time, Xun Yu followed Dian Wei and Deng Ji into Wubao.

"Servant? What's his name?"

Dianman asked in surprise: "Ah Fu, don't you know who he is?"

"Nonsense, I came to Xudu and spent most of my time in Wubao, how can I know many people?"

Dianman said: "He is Shang Shuling Xun Yu Xun Wenruo... If you have never heard of his name, you must have heard of the eight dragons of the Xun family in Yingchuan.

He is one of the Eight Dragons! "

That person is Xun Yu?
Even though Cao Peng was extremely strong in heart, he couldn't help being surprised when he heard Dianman's words.
