Gongsun Du smiled lightly, ignored the praise of several people, and asked, "Okay, how do you think the matter of Si Li should be resolved?" ”

"Please make a clear judgment." Several people said in unison.

Gongsun Du smiled silently, how could he not understand the thoughts of a few people. It's nothing more than a suggestion, and as for how to choose, that's your business.

Gongsun Du didn't want to ask any more, thought about it, and said: "When Feng Xian came to the news before, a certain person had already decided to move the troops, and now it is really late to move the troops, since this is the case, just forget it, and wait next year to see how the situation in Xuzhou is." If those families know well, they will help each other, and they should be able to draw a considerable amount of troops at that time. ”

"What Ming Gong said is extremely true."

Several people responded, and among them, Xi Zhong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Ming Gong......"

"Huh?"

Seeing his expression, Gongsun Du wondered, "What's wrong?" If you have something to say, just say it! If you don't say it, how do you know what you want to say! ”

Xi Zhong hesitated again before he said: "Duke Ming, my subordinates thought about it carefully, the matter of Xuzhou was not so much taken by Duke Ming, but by Cao Cao's voluntary concession. ”

"Well, when you say that, it really tastes like that." Gongsun Du stroked his beard and thought, "It's just that I don't know what Zhicai said but what did you find?" ”

Xi Zhong nodded and said: "Xuzhou is adjacent to Yangzhou, Yangzhou is divided into two because of the Yangtze River, one south and one north, the north is in the hands of Cao Cao, and the south is in the hands of the Jiangdong Sun family. The subordinates heard that the lord of Jiangdong is known as the little overlord, and it can be imagined that his bravery is not bad. ”

"And Cao Cao withdrew from Xuzhou, and Sun has been eyeing the north of Yangzhou for a long time, and the time will be ......"

"Cao Cao knows that he is not our opponent, and this move is very likely to win over another prince and jointly deal with us."

When Gongsun Du heard it, how is this a bit like Sun Liu uniting against Cao in history!

After thinking about it, Gongsun Du said: "It doesn't matter, with our strength, as long as Xuzhou's recuperation is completed, even if Sun Ce and Cao Cao are united, they are not afraid." ”

"What Ming Gong said is very true." Xi Zhong agreed, and then his voice changed, and he said, "It's just that my subordinates are worried that the city of Xuzhou will be seriously damaged, and if it is to be rebuilt, it will not be a day's work, if it is ...... at this time."

Gongsun Du's heart sank suddenly: Yes, the most important time for the reconstruction of the city, almost every city in Xuzhou was damaged, and the further south it was, the more serious the damage, the time it took was not a day or two, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have left all the 200,000 troops in Xuzhou.

"What do you think should be done?" Gongsun Du thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with a way to deal with it, so he could only ask questions.

"The subordinates feel that these cities should be ranked in order, and the cities near Yanzhou and Yangzhou should be rebuilt first, followed by the others." Xi Zhong was naturally prepared and immediately returned.

Gongsun Du nodded.

Then, Zhang Hong also got up and suggested: "Duke Ming, my subordinates feel that although Cao Cao has such an idea, Sun Ce may not see it this way, why don't we send someone to make a false deal with him and delay time." ”

"If this is ......"

Gongsun Du wanted to agree, but he robbed someone else's wife, and he was really embarrassed to be right with him, even if he had already relieved the other party's life.

"Send someone to spread rumors! After all, this is not a rumor, and Sun Ce's subordinates can understand it. ”

Zhang Hong thought about it, this is fine, so as not to make it difficult to start in the future, nodded and said: "Ming Gong is clever!" ”

The rest of the people gave their own suggestions one after another and made improvements.

On the other hand, after Cao Cao made his move, he was actually very uneasy, worried that Gongsun Du would intervene, but winter was approaching and he had to do it. However, when winter came, Gongsun Du still did not move, which made him settle down and return to Xuchang.

The first snow came, and Zhuoxian entered a world of only black and white.

Gongsun Du stayed with his family in the house for many days, and decided to go out for a walk.

"Just where to go? On this day, if you go far away, you will go around the city? ”

"It's just that the city has been turned around, and it's snowing again, and there are few people, so there's nothing to see!"

"Huh? No, it seems...... That ......"

"Come on, get ready to go out of the house."

"Yes, Ming Gong."

Not long after, Gongsun Du took the big bulb Dian Wei and more than a dozen small bulbs out of the palace gate and went to the west of the city.

"Ming Gong!"

Coming to a piece of the gate with the word "work" hanging one by one, Gongsun Du just got on the horse, the gate opened, and two shirtless men walked out. Isn't it cold in winter? Or is this snow fake?

Gongsun Du naturally didn't think so, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Let's go in first!" ”

"Yes!"

When the group came to the door, there was no shadow wall or snow, only a road paved with two stones, one horizontal and one vertical, and black and yellow soil. Gongsun Du took off the big dan behind him, handed it to his soldiers, felt it again, and felt that it was not too hot before walking inward again.

Inside, after a thin old man saw the salute, he didn't hesitate at all, and stretched out his hand and said, "Ming Gong, please come here!" ”

Gongsun Du nodded, and as he walked around the various workshops, he encouraged every hard-working craftsman and researcher.

Yes, this is the Craftsman Equipment Research Institute, and they will conduct research according to the requirements or their own ideas, which mainly includes the suggestions provided by Gongsun Du, as well as the improvement of existing clothing and armor equipment.

Seeing that it was about to end, Gongsun Du glanced around twice and said, "I remember that there is a female researcher, why didn't you see it?" ”

The craftsman who had been accompanying him was also an old man, and he immediately understood that Gongsun Du was here for her, but he was just ......

"What's wrong? Didn't you? Seeing that he was silent, Gongsun Du frowned, quite displeased, this person was sent by the Netherworld himself, how could it not be, could it be that there was an accident?

Hearing this unhappy tone, the craftsman's body trembled, and he immediately came back to his senses and said, "Hui Minggong, because...... Because ......"

When it came to the end, the craftsman was a little difficult to speak, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Gongsun Du's brows trembled, and a tyranny suddenly rose.

The craftsman sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Because her appearance is different from ordinary people, her subordinates dare not let her participate in it, so they can only mark a place and let her study it alone." ”

"Huh?"

Gongsun Du was thoughtful when he heard this, looked at the craftsman again, and said angrily: "What do you see, don't lead the way before you go!" ”

"Huh? Forehead...... Yes, yes, yes! ”

The craftsman wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead, and immediately led the way.

After seven or eight turns, Gongsun Du and others came to a small courtyard. The craftsman pushed the door in, and Gongsun Du's face sank and stopped him: "Okay, what should you do, just go in by yourself." ”

"Uh...... Yes, Ming Gong! ”

The craftsman left in response, and the group of others immediately stood guard on both sides of the courtyard gate, and Dian Wei followed behind.

Gongsun Du gently pushed open the courtyard door, saw the situation in the courtyard, and turned back and said, "Lao Dian, you are also waiting outside." ”

"This ......"

Dian Wei was reluctant to agree, but seeing Gongsun Du's expression, he could only respond: "Yes!" ”

Gongsun Du dodged into the small courtyard through the open gap, and then closed the courtyard door again, but the people in the courtyard were still unaware. Dian Wei outside the door smiled bitterly when he saw this, turned around and guarded the door, just making a few gestures towards the darkness. After receiving a response, he stood in place with a blank face.

"This one seems to be removed directly...... Well, try ......"

“……”

"This seems to be replaced by steel, but in this way the weight will be increased a lot, and it will be ......"

"You can use alloys! The weight of the alloy is much lighter! ”

"Who?"

The girl who had been bowing her head and doing her own thing became short of breath, and at the same time, she finished assembling the things in her hand that had not been fully assembled, and faced the person who spoke, that is, Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du's face did not change, but his heart was full of waves, and he did not forget to say: "The alloy has better toughness, and the weight is much lighter than steel, it should meet your requirements." ”

"Who are you?"

After the girl finished speaking, she said with a puzzled face: "Everyone in the research institute knows each other personally, but they have never seen you, saying, who are you?" Is it a spy sent by someone else? ”

Gongsun Dufang wanted to reply, but he didn't want the girl to say again: "If it's a spy, can you save me from leaving?" Although I have not been here for a long time, I ......"

After that, Gongsun Du didn't want to listen to it, and said with a gloomy face: "You don't even say who you are, how dare you save you, what if you want to catch a certain merit?" ”

The girl raised the bow and crossbow in her hand and signaled, "If I catch you to receive merit, I can call you from outside now." ”

Gongsun Du was unmoved.

"You ......"

The girl was very angry, and her breasts fluctuated in a small size.

The girl tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "My surname is Huang, nameless, and the word Yueying." ”

"There really is such a person! And she's a big beauty, it's really ......."

Gongsun Du sighed in admiration, and half of it was - cheaper Zhuge Kongming, and he actually enjoyed foreign beauties, what a model among the ancients!

Forehead......

While speaking, Gongsun Du didn't notice that the girl's face was full of redness.
