A few days later, a courtyard in the general's mansion Qiushuangzhai, in the garden full of strange flowers and plants, actually built a simple iron shop, every morning there is a jingling sound from the inside, but it is a hot day in Tong Yuan, holding a hammer, I don't know what to do in the room.

Cao Ang took the time to ask Tong Yuan for advice every day, but Tong Yuan just asked him to stand outside and watch himself build a spearhead, so for a few days, Cao Ang's heart couldn't help but start to get bored, what the hell did this stinky old man do!

Today, Cao Ang came to Qiushuangzhai as usual, and saw Tong Yuan wearing a thin cloth coat, and his skinny body seemed to fly away when the wind blew it. Cao Ang stood quietly to the side, watching Tong Yuan build the gun head one by one, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

After a while, Tong Yuan used the tongs to put the finished gun head into the water, and after a "snort" sound, he raised the gun head in the tongs to observe it carefully for a while, nodded, and continued to build carefully.

Cao Ang finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Master, I have finished the books and bamboo slips you want. Hearing this, Tong Yuan got up, took the book from Cao Ang's arms, and said on his forehead: "Very good, very good." ”

Cao Ang took a deep breath, squeezed a smile and said, "So, we can start practicing guns, right?" Tong Yuan shook his head, took out a copy of "The Book of Filial Piety" from the inside, and said to Cao Ang: "I, strike iron." You, copy the book. ”

"Huh?" Cao Ang was stunned when he heard this, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Copying books? Master, aren't you going to teach me how to use a gun? But Tong Yuan turned around and took out a long iron pen from the pile of guns he had built, and there was a black iron ball hanging from the end of it, "Take it and write." ”

Cao Ang stretched out his hand to take the strange pen, only to feel that it was not ordinary Shen, glared at Tong Yuan angrily, and then picked up the bamboo slips and the "Book of Filial Piety". On the stone table next to the iron shop, he wrote one stroke at a time, only wrote twice, and then felt that his wrist began to sore, and just wanted to use his left hand to straighten it, he saw Tong Yuan walking over with a piece of iron lump made by himself, and put it in Cao Ang's left hand, and said in a deep voice: "No, use your left hand to hold it." ”

Cao Ang laboriously copied the book in his right hand, held the unformed copper block in his left hand, his face began to gradually redden, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I want to learn marksmanship from you!" Tong Yuan said silently on the side: "The handwriting is good, learn again." ”

No way! It's no wonder that it looks good to write like this! Cao Ang couldn't help but curse in his heart, but saw Tong Yuan looking down at the two words he had just written, which were really big and crooked, and shook his head and sighed: "No, you, write a small compilation." Cao Ang almost didn't get angry when he heard this! Old man, you're ruthless!

After a morning of fighting, Cao Ang finally copied a Jane, Tong Yuan came over and looked at it carefully, and then said with his forehead: "Make do, in the afternoon, make a gun head." Cao Ang waved his trembling hands and said in surprise: "However, I still have to go to the Dianjun Guard Camp at noon." ”

"Whatever you want." Tong Yuan turned away, Cao Ang gritted his teeth, looked at Tong Yuan who sat down and continued to swing the hammer angrily, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay!" Master will spend it with you today! ”

At noon, when the scorching sun was in the sky, Tong Yuan carefully looked at Cao Ang, who walked into the iron shop: "Have you ever struck the iron?" Cao Ang shook his hands that were still numb, and said calmly: "No, but it doesn't seem to be difficult, right?" ”

"Oh. Okay" Tong Yuan turned around and picked up a piece of copper and iron, and said lightly: "Make a spear head and make a shape." Cao Ang glanced at it disdainfully, then took the pliers and put the copper into the fire to burn it, and when the iron gradually turned red, he put it on the casting platform, raised the hammer and struck it hard.

In an instant, the sparks shot out, and I saw that the originally full copper block was recessed into a big pit, Tong Yuan shook his head and sighed on the side: "This is not a gun head, it is a shovel." Cao Ang's face suddenly turned red and feverish, and then he continued to raise the hammer, pondering the strength, and beating it little by little

"Old man Tong! Count you ruthless! In the evening, I saw Cao Ang dragging his almost insensible arms and slowly walking back to Kejixuan, and Shi Jian had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw Cao Ang coming in, he hurriedly said, "General, why didn't you go to the camp today?" ”

"Is there a lot going on in the camp!" Cao Ang turned his head angrily and asked, Shi Jian was trembling when he heard this, and then said: "It's just military training, but there are not too many things." ”

"That's okay, do you have to go to the training every time! What do I want you to eat as a lieutenant! Shi Jian shuddered when he heard this, what bad things did the general eat today and have diarrhea? The fire is so big.

"Old man Tong, count you as powerful! You don't want to teach me, I'm going to do it with you! Don't look at Cao Ang's easy-going, he was also a smooth donkey in his previous life, I saw him snort, grabbed the three-pointed two-edged knife on the shelf, and waved it in the courtyard with his sour arm, and Shi Jian on the side looked at Cao Ang curiously, I don't know why, I feel that the three-pointed knife dance in the hands of today's general is particularly smooth, and it seems to be more smooth and confidential than usual.

In the next few days, Cao Ang rarely went to the guard camp of the Dianjun Division, but just wrote every day, struck iron with Tong Yuan, and did his best to do a good job, as long as he met Tong Yuan's requirements, he had no reason to shirk, and he was not afraid that this old man would not teach him marksmanship!

After nearly two months of training, Cao Ang himself did not realize that writing a dozen or so simple characters in a morning was not a problem for him at all. Moreover, he seems to have mastered the trick, with the help of that heavy pen, he needs to concentrate when writing, otherwise once he is distracted by Tong Yuan's iron sound over there, the strength will not be able to master, and there will be either a puddle of ink stains on the bamboo slips, or traces of earthworms.

As for building the spear head, Cao Ang found that it was indeed much uglier than imagined, the spear head was different from the cast sword, not only small, but also to be balanced, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which required the cooperation of eyes, hands, strength and ingenuity, how many days, Cao Ang's hands did not know how many blisters and calluses, and how many burns and scratches on his arms, two months later, he finally created a gun head that could make Tong Yuan click his head, but the old man's next sentence almost did not make him angry: "Talent, good, It's a pity not to be a blacksmith. ”

Just when Cao Ang and Tong Yuan were fighting for perseverance, a fast horse urgent report reached Xu Du, Lu Bu sent troops to besiege Xiaopei, and Liu Bei sent people to report to Cao Cao urgently, hoping that he would send troops to help.

"Lu Bu... Have you seen through it after all? Looking at the urgent report in his hand, Cao Cao's arrogant eyebrows flashed a little bit of brilliance, at this time he was in the study of Sikong Mansion, and there were three people standing on the left and right. It is Xiahoudun, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia.

"Lu Bu attacked Xiao Pei this time, he must have learned that Gu and Liu Xuande were secretly plotting against him, and they struck first." Cao Cao was silent for a moment and muttered to himself. Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Now that the Central Plains is divided into two, Ming Gong and Lu Bu must not be compatible, Lu Bu knows what we mean, and his preemptive strike is also reasonable, yesterday's scout reported that Yuan Shao was already preparing to go north, and he was worry-free for the time being, but now he is afraid that he will collude with Yuan Shu, and it will be difficult to figure it out at that time." ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything, only listening to Xun Yu's words: "In this case, you can take advantage of his initial rebellion and the uncertainty of people's hearts to eliminate this henchman in one fell swoop." ”

Cao Cao heard this, and then got up and said, "Okay!" Case! Soldiers send Xuzhou! I saw Guo Jia hurriedly said: "What about Liu Bei?" Cao Cao sighed when he heard this: "Liu Xuande was trapped because of his lonely life, and I should send troops to rescue him." ”

Guo Jia seemed to want to say something when he heard this, but he opened his mouth, and finally swallowed it, only to see Cao Cao caress his beard and say: "It's just that the lonely army is difficult to arrive for a while, so send the vanguard army to reinforcements first." Xiahoudun hurriedly asked: "Xiahoudun is willing to be a pioneer!" ”

Xun Yu also said lightly: "Ming Gong, now that the tiger and leopard are riding horses, and the war sabers are all equipped, this time they should be able to compete with Lu Bu's wolf horse." Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Okay! In this case, we will prepare to clean up in Xudu first, and Yuan Rang will lead the people of the headquarters to Xuzhou to help Liu Bei resist the enemy. ”

Guo Jia's eyes rolled and said: "The general's guard battalion is also idle, why don't you let him help Yuan and let the general go to break the enemy together?" Cao Cao pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. So the battle of Lü Bu with Xiahoudun and Cao Ang as the vanguard of the Eastern Expedition began.

After the government discussion, I saw Guo Jia hurriedly coming to the Hou General's Mansion, and Cao Ang had just finished a day's "course" of writing and iron. Hearing that Guo Jia was coming, I couldn't help but be surprised, but I also invited him to Kejixuan to meet.

No matter how busy Guo Jia is, how idle he is, he will always be calm and calm, this is really something that Cao Ang can never learn, Guo Jia saw Cao Ang, he smiled and saluted: "General Hou, the lord takes General Ling as the deputy general of General Xiahoudun, and he is also a pioneer army, congratulations on your opportunity to make meritorious contributions this time."

Cao Ang sighed helplessly, presumably Guo Jia was "making a stumbling block" from it, right? "Thank you for the kindness of Brother Fengxiao's recommendation, Cao Ang should keep it in mind." Guo Jiawei waved his hand and continued: "There is no need for the general to go this time, but Guo has some trivial matters that must be pretended to be the general's hand." ”

After speaking, he saw Guo Jia get up, came to the map hanging on the wind comment behind Cao Ang, and drew a circle with his finger in one place, Cao Ang looked carefully, only to find that it was Xiao Pei.

Liu Bei! Cao Ang suddenly understood what Guo Jia was going to do himself, and he was worried about Liu Bei! Thinking of when he was on the border of Runan, Guo Jia looked at Liu Bei's eyes full of disdain and vigilance, and Cao Ang's heart suddenly became clear.

"What kind of person does the general think Liu Xuande is?" Cao Ang pretended to be stupid when he heard this: "Be reckless and daring, be faithful, and be a benevolent gentleman." Guo Jia said anxiously: "The general's words are both right and wrong, yes, Liu Bei is a benevolent person, his own strength is not strong, but he is a figure that cannot be underestimated. Ming Gongzhi is ambitious and talented, drinking horses and the Yellow River, and it is his desire to compete for the world. But he neglected to understand Liu Bei. The battle is like chess, and an ostensible opponent like Lu Bu is not terrible, and often the real victory or defeat lies in a person you have not noticed. ”

Cao Ang couldn't help but secretly sigh that Guo Jia knew people accurately, and said with a straight face: "Brother Feng Xiao's words are very good, although Liu Bei's talent is not as good as my father, but what is powerful is the forbearance and employment. Hidden is for the sake of planning, and the ambition is far-reaching. Liu Bei deeply married Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and after years of exile, a forbearance heart has long been different from ordinary people, his forbearance is the deepest one that Cao Ang knows in his life, and its harm is definitely above Lu Bu. ”

"Well said, well said!" Guo Jia looked excited, "I didn't expect that for this person, Xu Duzhong actually had a confidant of Guo, and what I didn't expect was that this confidant turned out to be the eldest son of Ming Gong!" Okay, that's it, the general should understand, I recommend the general to go to the battle, right? ”

Cao Ang sighed lightly: "It's really difficult to design to get rid of this person, but Cao Ang will definitely do his best, even if he can't calculate him, he will also abolish half of his soldiers!" ”
