Chapter 34: Marriage
A way to increase the combat effectiveness of cavalry by ten times?
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were shocked, if they could really do this and sweep the world, wouldn't it be easy?
You must know that in Cao Cao's army, the overall strength is not bad, but the cavalry is his weakness, and the cavalry is not easy to cultivate, in the final analysis, Cao Cao has no money to cultivate.
Compared with Yuan Shu of the Fourth and Third Dukes, Cao Cao's military expenses were still made up by smashing pots and selling iron, and the most important thing for cavalry was war horses, which was also the most money-burning one.
Now he has money, but there is less than a month left to fight with Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao has the heart to train new cavalry, and there is not enough time left for him.
"Shopkeeper Chen, what you just said, is it true? You're not kidding us? Cao Cao excitedly took Chen Yang's hand and asked.
If Chen Yang really has such a good method, then his old Cao will officially rise from the world's heroes.
Guo Jia thought for a while, and he also said: "Shopkeeper Chen, we have less than a month to go to conquer Yuan Shao, and we can't wait to train cavalry again." ”
Chen Yang shook his head and smiled: "I don't need any training for this method, you just need to believe me, go back and tell the prime minister, if he agrees to let me toss, he will definitely have time to improve his combat effectiveness, besides, when did I lie to you?" ”
"I also want to help me earn some money from the prime minister through you."
Chen Yang had indeed never deceived Lao Cao, and everything he had said before had been fulfilled.
Because of this, Lao Cao hesitated in his heart.
Chen Yang spread his hands and said, "If you don't believe it, then forget it, anyway, I'm not short of this reward now." ”
Cao Cao thought for a long time, and finally said: "Of course I believe in your words, so I will go back and tell the prime minister, and ask Shopkeeper Chen to prepare the methods you said as soon as possible." ”
After finishing speaking, he got up and arched his hand, and walked out of the tavern with Guo Jia, pretending to be in a hurry.
"Feng Xiao, can increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry tenfold in less than a month, do you think it is possible?"
Walking outside the tavern, Cao Cao also asked his doubts.
"This can't be!"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It is impossible to improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry in such a short period of time. At present, our method of training cavalry is to buy better war horses and train new cavalry, and I think it is difficult to fulfill the promise of Boss Chen this time. ”
Cao Cao also nodded approvingly, within the scope of their cognition, this was an impossible thing.
Then, Cao Cao said: "Fengxiao, what you said makes sense, but what if Shopkeeper Chen is not bragging, is it really possible?" Even if it can't be tenfold, it's good to double it! ”
Guo Jia thought about Chen Yang's various miracles, and nodded in agreement: "It is also possible that for a person as powerful as Shopkeeper Chen, the prime minister must try his best to keep him by his side." ”
"That's for sure!"
Cao Cao said: "Fengxiao, what can you do to keep Shopkeeper Chen by our side forever?" ”
Guo Jia thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Prime Minister, the eldest lady has reached the age of leaving the cabinet, right?" ”
Cao Cao asked, "You mean marriage?" ”
Guo Jia nodded and said: "Only this way is the most reliable, the shopkeeper Chen and the prime minister are a family, and they will never be snatched away by others." ”
I just saw that Cao Cao thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, no, this matter must be determined as soon as possible." ”
Guo Jia's words directly woke up Cao Cao, and he hurried home.
As soon as he walked outside the gate of Cao's mansion, a herald hurried over.
"Prime Minister, Sun Ce responded to the order of the Son of Heaven, reversed Yuan Shu, and occupied Guangling and other places!" The herald knelt down in front of Cao Cao and said.
What the!
Cao Cao and Guo Jia were shocked at the same time, which made Shopkeeper Chen right.
Sun Ce really reversed Yuan Shu.
No, you must keep Shopkeeper Chen by your side forever.
Cao Cao sent the herald away, and immediately went back to the mansion and summoned a maid to ask her to find the eldest lady.
——
Chen Yang watched Cao Cao and the others leave, and he took out a piece of paper from the study.
That's right, it's paper, which Chen Yang found a few craftsmen to make during this time.
Papermaking was improved by Cai Lun in the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was already paper in the Three Kingdoms era.
But this kind of paper is inconvenient to use, and it is not convenient to preserve, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to use it.
Using his modern knowledge, Chen Yang improved the paper again, this time made of wood, which was much better than fishing nets and tree bark.
Because there were already people who knew how to make paper in the Three Kingdoms era, and it didn't take too long, after being instructed by Chen Yang once or twice, those craftsmen made it easily.
Next, Chen Yang also planned to make a paper towel for wiping his buttocks, and he was forced to do so, because it was too uncomfortable to use wood chips.
Chrysanthemums are left, the ground is full of wounds, and the flowers are broken!
Chen Yang was writing and drawing on the paper, and at this time, Zhang Chunhua walked over slowly.
"Zi'an, what is this?" Zhang Chunhua asked curiously.
"These are horseshoe and stirrup, for horses."
Chen Yang put away the paper and said: "I see that the four hooves of your horse are more abrasive, and you can't run fast anymore, but you can still walk like flying with my iron hooves, and this kind of stirrup has a greater effect, especially in riding and shooting." ”
The last time he went to the salt mine, he was also riding a horse, and Chen Yang planned to get a set of stirrups and hooves for Zhang Chunhua.
"Is it really that powerful?" Zhang Chunhua looked at it curiously, but couldn't understand what these were.
Chen Yang smiled: "I'll find someone to build it now, and you will see the effect soon." ”
With that, Chen Yang put away the piece of paper and left his mansion.
Zhang Chunhua looked at the scattered papers on the desktop and laughed softly: "Zi'an, what else do you have?" You are capable of anything in my heart, and I hope my father will be satisfied with you. ”
Among their families, the most important thing about marriage is the right family, and the Zhang family can marry the Sima family, which is also a big family in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Even if you don't agree, I have to ask him not to marry, because he really treats me well, better than you." Zhang Chunhua muttered to himself.
Remembering that they slept together that morning, and that night that Chen Yang would block the knife for herself, she was dizzy, and her cheeks were beautiful.
Chen Yang didn't know what this little girl was thinking, he had already walked to the streets of Xudu, and soon found a blacksmith.
"Type it out for me according to the drawings, as soon as possible, I'll pick it up in two hours."
Chen Yang added: "I want three servings. ”
As he spoke, he threw down two strings of money.
The blacksmith saw that Chen Yang was so generous, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Childe, I'll open the furnace to help you fight." ”
Chen Yang taught the blacksmith how to read the drawings, told him what the shape was, and made sure that he had really learned it before leaving.
After solving the stirrup matter, Chen Yang did not go home immediately, but wandered around, planning to buy some small jewelry for Zhang Chunhua.
Girls are meant to be coaxed, especially girls in ancient times, and it must be nice to send them some small things.
Just as Chen Yangdong was looking around, a group of people gathered around the street in front of him, as if someone was fighting, which aroused his curiosity.
"Fight, beat me to death, dare to eat overlord meal here with me! Impatient to live? ”
As soon as Chen Yang approached, he heard shouting from inside.
Finally, Chen Yang squeezed in from the crowd, but saw a man with a tiger on his back and a big iron sword on his back, standing in place and being punched and kicked by several big men.
The man stood still, as if he was willing to be beaten, and he did not say a word when he was beaten to the point of a nosebleed.
With his stature, it should have been easy to resist, but he didn't.
