In the private room of the plain restaurant, there is a wine table, and the lights on the wall flicker, illuminating everything in the private room.

Su Lu sandwiched a chopstick of wine and food, and after taking a bite, he shook his head and said:

"Duke Yu, although I have the title of the head of Wutang Mountain, you also know that I rarely interfere in lectures and daily affairs, so it is not my style to assign people so rashly."

Yu Wei smiled bitterly:

"Lord, the stone track line was built with your own eyes, although more and more mileage has been built, but there are more cases of damage, if there is no special military guard, this stone track line will have an accident sooner or later."

"Of"

There was a knock on the door of the private room, and the land probe came in, and asked with a smile:

"Lord Wang, Yu Shangshu, General Cao has arrived and wants to see you."

Yu Wei became nervous when he heard this, what is Cao Hua doing here, she was recently awarded a medal, the key is to become the governor of the Cangwu Army in the south, what is there in Cangwu City, there is no one to ask for people, and there is no money to ask for money.

If she also comes to ask for someone, and the prince gives it, then I can ask for even fewer people.

The door was pushed open, and Cao Hua, who was dressed in a scholar's robe, came in with a smile, saluted the two, and sat down in his seat on the side.

Su Lu asked:

"When did you come back? In the past few days, I have nothing to do, and I am still satisfied with this promotion? ”

Cao Hua smiled and said:

"Master Mingjian, the disciple doesn't have any ideas about this, as long as I can do the things arranged by the master well, I am very satisfied."

"I was having dinner downstairs just now, and I was disturbed by a few students in the martial arts hall, and when Zhao Ning was dealing with those students, he saw your guards and could see you."

Yu Wei hurriedly interrupted Cao Hua and said hurriedly:

"Let's talk about it first, Lord Wang, I want people first, and those students who make trouble, my Ministry of Engineering is also willing to ask for them."

Cao Hua glanced at Yu Wei in amazement, but he didn't expect that Lao Shangshu was also an important person, it seemed that the Three Kingdoms were leveled in one fell swoop, and there was a shortage of talents everywhere in the imperial court. “

Su Lu didn't take care of the rest of the place, and asked Cao Hua and said:

"Cangwu City is located on the bank of Huaishui, and its future positioning is not only an important town for the imperial court to guard the southern border, but also a north-south thoroughfare connecting the north and the south.

Yu Weiqi's beard is up, and the prince is too partial, he is so generous to his apprentices, and he is the same as his stepmother who raised him for the Ministry of Industry.

Cao Hua glanced at the sour-faced Yu Wei next to him, and said with a smile:

"People definitely want it, since Lin Gang and Ning Yun took away five hundred elites, they have been borrowed by Dingxiang Wei thousands of soldiers one after another, and we are very short of people in Cangwu City."

"But seeing that the rest of the adults are so short of people, I don't want to go too far, just give me a hundred of the students who will graduate from the martial arts hall this year."

"Nope."

The rest of the people pulled out the stool and stood up, their faces blue.

"One hundred people, I said General Cao, it's not that you haven't presided over the affairs of the martial arts hall, how many people can graduate from the martial arts hall in a year, a total of less than three hundred, going north and west, the navy and birds, there are no people in that place."

"You take a small half at once, how can I ask for someone for the prince, it won't work, it will definitely not work."

Su Lu shook his head, motioned for Yu Wei to be restless, and explained him and said:

"That's it, Duke Yu, I'll assign you a few apprentices, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, let me finish speaking."

"For the students who graduated from the Beijing Normal University this year, I am in charge, and I will give you fifty of them, and the soldiers who have retired from the army, I promise to give you a batch every year in the future, so that you can form a stone rail army and be responsible for the protection of the stone track."

Yu Wei's face turned slightly pale when he heard this, and he asked with some uncertainty:

"These people, are they good enough?"

Cao Hua smiled and said:

"They are all elites in a hundred battles, and they have seen blood killings, protecting a stone track and deterring the people along the line, this is not a piece of cake. However, if the trainees who are dispatched to the Ministry of Engineering have a little bit of merit and do a good job of dispatching, there will be no accidents on the stone track. ”

Yu Wei was relieved when he heard this, and asked Cao Hua with a smile:

"The general will return to Beijing this time, how long are you going to stay, you must know that you have been in charge of the army for many years, and the Cao family can't borrow your benefits, and they are becoming more and more dissatisfied with you."

Hearing this, Cao Hua picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, his wheat-colored cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes flashed with a strange luster:

"The Cao family, where I am, is the Cao family, and the smoky Cao family has no need to exist for a long time."

Saying this, Cao Hua dropped the wine glass, got up and walked out:

"Master, the disciple is not strong enough to drink, so he will leave first."

Yu Wei looked at Cao Hua's swaying back and said jokingly:

"General Cao led thousands of troops and horses, and no one in the army blushed, how could he blush after drinking a glass of wine."

Cao Hua had already walked to the door, helped Cao Yun who came up, and his heart was stable, so he replied with a smile:

"Drinking is not my thing, fighting is what I am good at."

As he spoke, Cao Hua's voice gradually became smaller, and finally turned into a murmur, and the whole person softened on Cao Yun's arm.

Su Lu shook his head with a smile, and commanded:

"Gao Dabao, you take a few guards, follow Cao Yun, and protect the general back home. went back to her new mansion, the mansion occupied by a few old men of the Cao family, and drove everyone out for me, just say what I said, whoever dares to provoke my apprentice, I will ask for his head. ”

Gao Dabao answered, and followed Cao Yun and Zhao Ning downstairs.

Yu Wei stood up, leaned on the railing, looked at the hall on the first floor, the group of Cao Hua's guards who were noisy because of Cao Hua, and said in a somewhat worried tone:

"Lord Wang, if you do this, it is tantamount to roasting the general on the fire, the Cao family will definitely not tolerate the general Cao, and the power of the Cao family that she could borrow in the past will not be there again in the future."

Su Lu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile:

"What is the Cao family, if it weren't for Cao Hua, this king would have uprooted them a long time ago."

"If they know death this time, then it's okay, if they die by themselves, then I don't mind sending them to see the ancestor of the Cao family."

Yu Wei sighed and said:

"Lord Wang, the Cao family is also a famous family, and there are still a lot of momentum that the general can borrow."

Su Lu looked at Cao Hua, who was carried by Cao Yun, and resurfaced in front of him, the little girl who stubbornly walked in the army and had a tanned face when he was fighting in the north.

Now, she is a big enough general to take charge of herself.

"Duke Yu, you are wrong, the Cao family is not a famous family."

"Cao Hua is the only one, she is a famous family, and she is a prestigious family."

Yu Wei shook his head, but after a moment, the movement of shaking his head turned into a nod, and his tone was full of hesitation:

"A person is famous?"

"The prince's statement seems to be good, no! The prince is right, where the general is, it is the wang clan. ”

"One person, one family, one family."

Yu Wei looked at Cao Hua's back, and his cheeks were full of admiration:

"He is worthy of a general who can fight, one person is a family."
