Cao Thief

Chapter 116
Xu Chu was impatient...

If the Huben army had won this battle miserably, Xu Chu might still be able to endure it.After all, the coordinated combat capability demonstrated by the Tiger and Ben Army is far from comparable to that of the Tiger Guard Army.Xu Chu lost, and he was convinced.But in this battle, he lost so badly that he couldn't accept it.

Although it is not annihilation of the entire army, what is the difference between annihilation of the entire army?
If Cao Cao hadn't ordered Ming Jin to end the battle, Xu Chu would not have been able to imagine the ending at the end of the fight.

It was precisely because it could be imagined that Xu Chu felt even more embarrassed.Anyway, he is also one of the few figures in Cao's camp, and the Tiger Guards can be regarded as the elite troops of Cao's army.How could Xu Chu not be furious when he was killed by someone three times, five times and two times, and he had no strength to fight back... This battle lost all his face and face!Therefore, Xu Chu had to think of a way to get his place back.

"Zixiao, Zihe, stop Zhongkang!"

As soon as Cao Ren and Cao Chun boarded the main building, they heard Cao Cao yelling.

The two immediately turned around and ran down from the watchtower. At the same time, Cao Zhen and others rode out and set up a barrier in the middle of the school grounds.

"Uncle, go back quickly!"

Xu Chu yelled like crazy: "Dian Wei, do you dare to fight me?"

As for Dian Wei's outburst of temper, he always took the initiative to challenge him, how could he stand others' challenge to him?

Without further ado, he urged the horse to move forward, "Get out of the way...Xu Chu, Dian will fight with you, and let you be convinced today!"

Dianman rushed over and immediately stopped Dianwei's mount.

"Father, don't go there!"

And Xu Yi also came to Xu Chu, got off the horse, and grabbed Xu Chu's horse by the reins.

"Aman, get out of the way...isn't it just a fight? I, Dian Wei, even dare to fight Lu Bu, how can I be a stupid tiger? Xu Zhongkang, come here on horseback."

Xu Chu was so angry that he yelled, "Dian Wei, don't be complacent, I will fight you today."

For a while, the school grounds became chaotic.

Cao Cao didn't even care about greeting Cao Ji, and asked Dong Zhao to be in charge of receiving Cao Ji, and he ran down the watchtower in a hurry.

Cao Ji stood in the watchtower blankly, it was not good to leave or stay... He did not expect such a thing to happen, which made him very embarrassed.

Dong Zhao also shook his head and smiled helplessly!

Dian Wei, the tiger general of the world; Xu Chu, the so-called tiger idiot...

Cao Cao asked him to fight against each other in order to balance the strength of the Suwei army.It's just that he didn't expect that Dian Wei would win so beautifully today!
Neither Dian Wei nor Xu Chu could be hurt.

These two are the kind of people who would go crazy when they fight.

One has gone mad, and the other is the master who is about to ignite.If there is a fight, the result is bound to be a loss for both sides.

Cao Cao couldn't just sit back and watch the two tigers fighting each other.

At this time, all the generals in the watchtower rushed down one after another, separating Xu Chu and Dian Wei.

Cao Hong rubbed his cheeks and suddenly laughed.

"Let's go, I can't fight."

"Uncle, don't you go and stop them?"

"What do you want to stop, Xu Chu is not a fool... Do you think he really wants to fight Dian Wei? It's just to find a way for him to go down. Among other things, Dian Wei has the advantage of saddle and stirrup in a real fight. If two people In the past, it was half a catty, but now..."

Cao Hong smiled and shook his head.

No wonder this guy is not liked in Cao Ying.

Too sober, too calm... At this time, Cao Peng felt that Cao Hong's calmness was annoying.Even if you know they can't fight, you should at least put on a show and rush out to stop them.Can't others see it?Why are you so smart?

Cao Hong glanced at Cao Peng, and suddenly said: "I know, many people don't like me.

But so what?It's enough for the Lord to trust me... I can fight and lead troops, but I don't know how to form cliques.The lord said that Junming is the lonely star of the sky, but in fact I am the lonely star of the sky.Ah Fu, sometimes you can't help yourself, and if you are disgusted by others, you will be disgusted by others, but you must have the ability to do it. "

Cao Peng was stunned and looked at Cao Hong.

I saw him walking downstairs unsteadily, his back gave off a different kind of bleakness.

Maybe, just like what Cao Hong said: He is the real Tianguxing!In history, Cao Hong has indeed achieved this.

Even if Cao Pi wanted to touch him, someone would stand up and speak for him.

Among the Cao clan, Cao Hong seems to be the only one who lived a long life and died well...

In fact, he could see clearly.

The so-called greed and stinginess are nothing but his disguise in Cao Ying.What is it called?Companion to a monarch is like companion to a tiger, Xiao He wants to amass money and defile himself, let alone Cao Hong?After all, that brother of his clan is famously suspicious in history...

Cao Peng sighed and followed Cao Hong down from the watchtower.

Cao Cao rushed to the center of the school field, without saying a word, raised his whip and slapped Dian Wei, and then slapped Xu Chu severely with the whip.

"Do you two still want to fight? Let's compete with me first."

Dian Wei rolled his saddle off his horse and knelt down in front of Cao Cao's horse.

And Xu Chu seemed to be awake at this time, got off his horse, and knelt down beside Dian Wei.

"Xu Chu was short of breath for a while, and his mind was lost by ghosts. Please punish me, my lord."

"Dian Wei shouldn't get carried away... Actually, I have nothing against Zhong Kang, it's just that I can't hold back this breath, my lord, don't let yourself get angry."

Cao Cao glared at the two of them viciously, looked at Xu Chu, then at Dian Wei.

"Zihe!"

"The end will be..."

"Put these two bastards in prison for me. Remember, let them stay in the same cell. If you want to fight, you can have a good fight in it."

"My lord, the last general was wrong!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu panicked, and all the generals on the side came up to plead for mercy.

It's a pity that Cao Cao seems to have made up his mind.

"Go to the prison first, and figure out what's wrong. Come and see me when you figure it out."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao pulled his horse away angrily.Cao Chun smiled wryly: I still have to do this offending thing in the end...

"Jun Ming, Zhong Kang, offended!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed Cao Chun dejectedly.

The generals followed Cao Cao and left the school grounds.

Dianman and Xu Yi, you look at me, I look at you, their faces are embarrassed, and they don't know what to do.

"Don't worry everyone, the lord has no intention of punishing the two generals. It's just...it's good to let them calm down. After calming down, the lord will let them go back."

"But... the two of them won't fight, right?"

Xu Yi asked worriedly.

You know, the posture of Dian Wei and Xu Chu just now is clearly a sworn enemy.This locks two people in the same room, and if the sentence is wrong, a fierce fight will be inevitable.Xu Yi was even worried, if the two of them fought, would a cell be useful?

"No way!" Dianman didn't feel anything at first.But hearing what Xu Yi said, she also began to worry.

"Otherwise, lock them up? Lock them up, won't they be able to fight?"

Cao Zhen was so angry with Dian that he was about to go crazy.

Generally speaking, he could see Xu Chu's intentions.Xu Chu wanted to find a way to go down, but Dian Wei couldn't just give in... So Cao Cao appeared!So the two of them were whipped one by one!Ever since, this step has also been established, and it is naturally impossible to fight again.

What kind of son is this!

Xu Yi is better, Dianman actually came up with a bad move to lock up the old man.

"No, I'd better go and have a look, otherwise don't worry."

"I am coming too!"

Dianman and Xu Yi mounted their horses without saying a word and left.

Cao Peng came over at this time and looked at the background of Dianman and Xu Yi.

He suddenly laughed and said, "It's not that enemies don't get together!"

Cao Zhen was startled, and immediately understood what Cao Peng meant.

That's right, Dian Wei and Xu Chu are two enemies; judging from this posture, the situation of Xu Yi and Dian Man will be similar to their father's situation in the future.

"Let's go... I'll buy you a drink."

Cao Peng shook his head, "Forget it, I still have to wait for my father."

"Where's everyone, Cao?"

"Just now I asked Zhou Cang to tell me that Mr. Cao invited him to a banquet at the mansion. You also know that my father has never seen a big scene, so I have to go and watch."

Cao Zhen nodded, "If that's the case, then I'll go first."

At this time, Xia Houlan and Zhou Cang came over leading the horses.

"My lord, where are we going?"

Cao Peng said: "Hu Ben Mansion, let's go there first and wait."

————————————————————————————

The contest at the Xiyuan school grounds ended with a complete victory for the Huben Army.

The situation of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations, and the Huben Army almost won with a sweeping momentum.For a while, Dian Wei's name became extremely resounding.

With the fame of the Huben Army, Cao Ji's family gradually surfaced.

In Cao's mansion, Cao Ji admitted that he was not some kind of hidden ink giant, and Cao Cao did not blame him.Not only did he not blame him, but he also praised Cao Ji severely, thinking that Cao Ji is a sincere gentleman with a magnanimous mind and everything he can tell others.After learning that Cao Ji didn't have a character yet, he happily bestowed Cao Ji with a character: Junshi.Juan has a far-reaching meaning, and it is often used as a metaphor for people's noble morals.

The iron comes from the stone, and it also corresponds to Cao Ji's identity.

Cao Cao asked: "How did Jun Shi think of this second treasure in the horse?"

Erbao refers to the saddle and stirrup.

Cao Ji hesitated for a moment, then replied softly: "Back to Cao Gong, it is not the second treasure, but the real three treasures."

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"Please invite Cao Gong to ride the tiger, and Caomin is willing to explain the three treasures in detail."

So, Cao Cao immediately ordered people to go to Huben's army, and a horse came.

Cao Ji asked someone to lift up the horse's hoof, revealing a round horse iron, "Cao Gong, when a war horse is galloping, the horse's hoof is often damaged due to uneven roads or excessive force. Once damaged, try to recover , is not an easy task...

To be honest, the three treasures of the horse were created by my son.

He is not very good at riding, so he often feels uncomfortable.Once I saw the bridge over the Jishui River, I had an idea and told the grass people.It was also because of his idea that Cao Min made Takahashi Saddle.The child is small and weak, and it is always inconvenient to get on a horse.He told me, wouldn't it be more convenient if there was something to support it?For this reason, a shape was designed, which is the stirrup that Cao Gong sees now.As for the horseshoe, it was Xiaoer who reminded the grass people that he had such an idea. "

Cao Cao became more and more interested after hearing this.

"Master Ling, but Cao Peng?"

"Exactly!"

Cao Cao laughed, "Now in Xudu, Young Master Ling can be considered a celebrity.

Who doesn't know the name of the first Jinlan knot, the book Jinlan Pu, and Xiaobayi?Unexpectedly, this little doll actually had another whimsical idea. "

"Son...that's all nonsense!"

Cao Cao laughed, took Cao Ji's hand, and returned to the hall.

"Jun Shi, there is great chaos today, and the court is not in good shape. A certain person wants to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but there is no one to help him. Jun Shi has this skill, so is he willing to serve the court?"

Cao Ji quickly prostrated himself on the ground, "Do you dare to die for Duke Cao?"

Cao Cao was very happy with Cao Ji's attitude and nodded repeatedly.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly turned his head and asked Dong Zhao: "Gongren, I remember Ziyang told me before that Zhuye prison currently lacks a prison order, right?"

Ziyang, named Liu Ye, was a descendant of King Fuling, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

Now in the Sikong mansion, he is Sikongcang Cao Cao, although he is not a young mansion, but he is in charge of the affairs of the young mansion, in charge of farming, mulberry, iron, salt, animal husbandry, money...

Dong Zhao nodded and said: "My lord's words are not bad. Zi Yang mentioned this matter, but so far there is no suitable candidate."

Zhuye Supervisor, in charge of casting gold and iron weapons.

There is one supervisor and one supervisor.Under the rule, there are still four supervisors, one recorder, one mansion, two historians, two Dianshi, and four palm guards.

It sounds like there are not many people.

But in fact, except for Jianling and Jiancheng, who have a rank, the rest are all officials.

Under the supervision of Zhuye, besides these people, there were also many officials.

That is to say, it is not within the rank order and has certain powers, but at the same time it also has its own property.For example, some workers can open their own iron smelting workshops.On the one hand, they can sell to the outside world, and at the same time, they are also responsible for supplying to the imperial court.In other words, it is similar to the nature of government and business.These people have no salary and do not need to perform corvee.It can be regarded as a supply company designated by the imperial court.

Of course, it seems a bit exaggerated to say that the enterprise...

The official position of the prison order is not high, and the rank is not high.

But it has great power.

On the one hand, he controls the items provided by all the workers under his rule.If the supervision order is not passed, then the worker will not be able to receive the money and silk.

If the worker officer fails to supply the goods on time, he will be disqualified as a worker officer, and at the same time, he will be fined and other punishments.

Cao Cao asked, "Is Junshi willing to submit?"

Cao Ji now has some understanding of the situation in the court.

Especially when Cao Peng planned to enter Zhuyejian for him, Cao Ji also inquired a lot about Zhuyejian from Deng Ji.

Hearing that Cao Cao asked him to be the prison order, Cao Ji was dumbfounded!

According to his idea, he would be satisfied to be a supervisor, that is, a foreman.

Unexpectedly, actually...

This is equivalent to a commoner who wanted to be a civil servant and suddenly became a official-level cadre, and he was also a official-level official of the real power faction.This huge gap made Cao Ji unable to react at once. After a long time, he replied in a trembling voice: "Cao Ji is willing to go."

If you don't want to go, you are a fool.

Cao Ji hardly knew how he left the Cao Mansion.

Outside the gate of Cao Mansion, he was a little dazed, his mind still blank.

Fortunately, Cao Peng and others were resting in Huben Mansion, and Zhou Cang and Xia Houlan also paid attention to the movement in Cao Mansion.

Seeing Cao Ji walking out of Cao Mansion in a daze, Zhou Cang hurried over and brought Cao Ji back to Huben Mansion...

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Cao Ji's distraught look, Cao Peng couldn't help asking.

Cao Ji swallowed his saliva, and said softly: "Fenger, dad is now an official!"

"what?"

"Mr. Cao said that he wants me to be the supervisor of Zhuye."

"what?"

Cao Peng was also taken aback, he couldn't turn the corner.

He originally planned to let Cao Ji start as supervisor.He can be regarded as a low-level clerk... After he is familiar with the situation of Zhuye Supervisor, he will try to get promoted.After all, Cao Ji had never been an official, and Zhuye Supervisor, although his position was not high, was a very important position.Cao Ji was not familiar with the situation when he fulfilled the order of the Zhuye Supervisor all at once, so if he made a mistake, wouldn't it be great joy and sorrow?

how do you know...

"Father, what else did Mr. Cao say?"

"Mr. Cao said that in a few days, someone will send the files of the Zhuye Supervisor. After getting familiar with him, I will go to a workshop in Xingyang River to take up a job a year ago."

"He Yi Workshop?"

Cao Peng started to have a headache.

Heyi Workshop is also another name of Zhuyejian.

The iron smelting site of the Han Dynasty is located in the later ancient Xing Town, about 20 kilometers away from Zhengzhou City, the capital of Henan Province, and belongs to Huiji District.

It is said that this Heyi workshop was first built in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.

The entire workshop is more than 400 meters long from north to south and more than 300 meters wide from east to west, with a total area of ​​more than 12 square meters.There are two large iron-making furnaces, twelve wells, more than thirty quenching pools, and thirteen fan furnaces... It was the largest iron-smelting workshop in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang, Zhuyejian was established in Xingyang.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, this workshop, which almost supplied [-]% of the weapons for the big Han, was abandoned.It was not reopened until Cao Cao moved his capital to Xu County.From Xu County to Xingyang, it is only a hundred miles away.Riding a fast horse, you can go back and forth in one day, and the distance is not too far.

"Friend, dad is now an official!"

Cao Ji suddenly went crazy, looking up to the sky and laughing.

Cao Peng hurried forward, took care of Cao Ji, and shouted, "Daddy, wake up!"

Sometimes, unexpected surprises will make people fascinated.The most obvious example is Fan Jinzhong Ju in the Confucian History.At this time, Cao Ji's situation was quite similar to that of Fan Jin who was in Zhongju.Cao Peng hurried forward to wake up Cao Ji...

"Father, it may not be a good thing for you to be the supervisor of the Zhuye prison now."

Cao Ji woke up a lot, looked at Cao Peng in surprise and said, "Peng'er, what do you mean by that?"

"Do you know the situation of Supervisor Zhuye?"

"My uncle and grandson talked to me a little bit before, so I know about it."

"Know?" Cao Peng sneered, "Father, you know what Zhuyejian does, but do you understand the process of Zhuyejian? Zhuyejian is in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and weapons in Caogong's three states. Is it qualified? What kind of weapon is not qualified? Do you know this standard? Also, do you know that there are hundreds of workers in the three states, which workers have backgrounds, and which workers have no background?

Heyi Workshop itself is also responsible for supplying weapons.

How many knives are made each year?How many spears to make?How many bows and arrows did you make?How many armors did you make?Have you ever understood?Under the Zhuye supervisors, there are still supervisors and recorders... How do you use these people?How to make a plan every year, what to build first, and what to build later, can you make proper arrangements? "

"This one……"

Cao Ji panicked when he heard this.

"Father, I originally wanted you to start as a supervisor, familiarize yourself with the situation inside, and then plan for the future.

But now it seems...Father, let's go back immediately and discuss this matter with my brother-in-law.In fact, we are not afraid of anything when it comes to skills.But being an official is not all about good skills.You have to have means, and you have to be scheming... No, the most urgent thing is to find a helper for you. "

As he talked, Cao Peng felt more and more nervous, and he was a little confused!
He got up and said, "Xiahou, Zhou Cang, prepare your horses quickly, let's go back to Wupu immediately."
