After years of war, Huai County, like other places, has a small population.

Witnessing the advent of the stone tablet, the people decided that Yuan Xu was the choice of heaven.

There is meat in the army, but the people eat at home but do not eat, and there is a scene of enthusiastic enlistment in Huai County.

Back at the residence, Yuan Xu closed the door, Pang Tong asked to see him, and he waited outside the door for a long time.

The door opened, and Pang Tong entered.

Yuan Xu asked him: "Is there something wrong with Shiyuan?" ”

"Childe's method really works." Pang Tong said: "Today alone, the number of recruits has almost exceeded 1,000. ”

"The recruits entered the camp, they didn't receive drills, they just followed the battlefield to observe."

"It's the people's desire that matters." Pang Tong said: "My previous worries are completely unnecessary. ”

He then asked, "When does Gongzi plan to send troops to Xudu?" ”

"Early tomorrow morning." Yuan Xu said: "You came just in time, I have something for you to see." ”

Many of the things he took out were novelties that he had never seen before.

Pang Tong's eyes immediately became a little more expectant.

Yuan Xu took out a few square copper blocks from under the table and instructed the guards outside the door: "Fetch me some lamp oil." ”

The guard went to fetch the lamp oil, and Yuan Xu picked up the lid at the top of the small copper block, making a crisp sound of "pop".

Then, he closed the lid again: "In the previous siege, the soldiers lit rockets, and I saw that the fire was too difficult to use, so I got some lighters. With this thing, it will be easier to start a fire. ”

Pang Tong, of course, didn't know what a lighter was.

He looked dazed: "Dare to ask Childe, how did this thing ignite?" ”

"You'll find out later." Yuan Xu opened and closed the lid of the lighter.

Every time it opens and closes, the lighter makes a crisp "pop".

He took out a kerosene lighter that had not yet been filled.

There is a downside to Summoning Level 2.

It is possible to take items from other eras, such as flammable and explosive, but they cannot be carried at all, which is stricter than the express delivery restrictions two thousand years later.

The cheapest and most common disposable lighters are not available.

As for matches, don't even think about it.

Match heads are made of red phosphorus, which can easily spontaneously combust when heated, and are also classified as flammable and explosive.

All he could get was a kerosene machine that hadn't been filled with oil yet.

Fortunately, there was lamp oil in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and kerosene machines still have a place to use.

A moment later, the Guards brought the lamp oil.

Yuan Xu removed the shell of the lighter and poured lamp oil on the bottom sponge.

Reassembled, he wiped the pulley, and the flames suddenly jumped.

Pang Tong was dumbfounded: "This thing is called ......"

"Lighters." Yuan Xu closed the lid, and the flame was extinguished instantly: "Isn't it much easier to use than the fire fold." ”

"It's not that easy." Pang Tong replied in surprise: "With it, ignition will save a lot of worry." ”

"I don't have much here, and I don't have enough in the army." Yuan Xu said: "If you have a surplus in the future, you can give Shiyuan a game to play." ”

"No, no." Pang Tong waved his hand again and again: "It is important to use it in the army. ”

"You came to see me just to ask when you're going to go on the expedition?" Yuan Xu put the lighter on the table.

"And how to settle Guo Fengxiao and others." Pang Tong said: "Fighting Cao Cao, they follow the army but do not contribute, which will have an impact on morale. ”

"Send them back to Taiyuan. I've been thinking about this for the last few days. Take them on the expedition, there are too many variables. Send it back to Taiyuan and hand it over to Tian Yuanhao for moderation, and when I destroy Cao Cao, all variables will no longer exist! ”

"Who is Childe going to send to escort them?" Pang Tong asked.

"How is Xia Zhao?" Yuan Xu said: "This person is a high-ranking cadre general, and it is no good to stay in the army for a long time. ”

"No." Pang Tong shook his head: "Xia Zhao is not a child's person, in case he gets a ghost along the way......"

"Who do you think is appropriate?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Just pick a hundred or ten soldiers at random." Pang Tong replied: "Guo Fengxiao and others were captured by Gongzi, and with Cao Cao's suspicious temperament, they will definitely not be reused when they go back." Xiahou Yuanrang and Cao Mengde are still related, if it weren't for these considerations, it would be difficult to persuade him to surrender with just a few words from Gongzi? ”

He continued: "Xiahou Yuanrang and Xu Gongming are both fierce generals in the world, and if they want to leave, ten Xia Zhao can't stop them. ”

"Then choose a hundred and ten escorts." Yuan Xu stood up: "You accompany me to meet them." ”

The two of them left the room and went straight to where Guo Jia and the others lived.

Witnessing the excavation of the stone stele, Xiahoudun and Xu Huang sighed at the providence, but Guo Jia did not participate in the discussion.

He sat in the room and drank tea silently, without saying a word for a long time.

Xiahoudun asked, "Why doesn't Fengxiao speak?" ”

"There's nothing to say." Guo Jia replied: "Gong Cao treats us well, but now that the army has been defeated and served the son, the road ahead is long and very confused." ”

His words aroused the sentimentality of Xiahoudun and Xu Huang.

Both of them let out a long sigh.

Xu Huang said: "Providence favors the son, since we have voted, don't think about anything else." Cao Gong is suspicious, even if we are allowed to go back, it is impossible to reuse ......"

has long seen through that the stele was deliberately arranged by Yuan Xu, but Guo Jia did not expose the so-called providence.

voted for Yuan Xu, how could he do it behind his back?

"Although Gongzi promised to reuse, we proposed not to be an enemy of Cao Gong." Guo Jia said: "When it can be reused, it is not necessarily. ”

Xiahoudun and Xu Huang glanced at each other, and both of them showed confusion on their faces.

"I'll attack Cao Cao, you don't have to go into battle." Yuan Xu's voice came from outside the house: "If he beats me, don't sit idly by." ”

When they heard this, they all stood up.

Yuan Xu and Pang Tong walked into the house.

Guo Jia and others greeted the ceremony.

"I'm coming to you, just as I said." Yuan Xu smiled: "You won't blame me for eavesdropping, right?" ”

"It's damn to talk about the son behind your back." Guo Jia replied: "Please condemn the son!" ”

"What's the sin of worrying about the future?" Yuan Xu said: "I just have something to tell you to do." ”

"Childe, please." It was Guo Jia who replied.

"I want you to go back to Taiyuan. Taiyuan is my foundation, there is insufficient garrison, you help in the defense, I am more assured. ”

Guo Jia, Xiahoudun, and Xu Huang were not stupid people, and of course they understood that Yuan Xu wanted them to avoid the war from now on.

Inexplicably grateful in their hearts, the servants responded in unison: "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the son!" ”

"Send you back to Taiyuan, I also have a request." Yuan Xu looked around.

They bowed down and waited for the order.

Yuan Xu said: "Stick to Taiyuan, even if Cao Cao goes, please do your best." ”

His meaning is very clear, when attacking Cao Cao, there is no need for Guo Jia and others to contribute.

If Cao's army attacked Taiyuan, they would be duty-bound.

Yuan Xu was worried about the embarrassment of Guo Jia and others, and of course they would not fail to consider his position.

Guo Jia replied: "Childe, rest assured, no matter who attacks Taiyuan, we will retreat from the enemy with all our might!" ”
