Chapter Seventy-Three: The Clever Xu Chu

Yuan Yun looked at the periphery of the Gunpowder Army camp, and instantly frowned, when he went to Zhongshan, it was still very empty, but now when he came back, he found that the water that had been blocked could not be drained.

I saw that on the flat ground within a radius of several miles, the camp tents were densely placed, surrounding the camp of the gunpowder army in three circles and three circles.

"The brothers in the medical battalion haven't been resting well lately, and they've been teaching people sent by other units how to bandage and treat their wounds." After Zhang Liao finished speaking, his face was proud, he has a long face recently, and those veterans in the army are extremely enthusiastic when they see him now.

Looking at Zhang Liao's expression, Yuan Yun guessed a little, although the medical battalion of the Gunpowder Army has been very tired in recent days, it is definitely a great thing that this kind of first aid in the army has been popularized.

Zhang Liao saw that Yuan Yun didn't speak, so he continued: "The schedule of the Northern Expedition has been set, and we need to assemble at the end of spring next year, and we will go to the battlefield at the beginning of summer. ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "General Zhang agreed?" ”

Zhang Liao immediately shook his head, and then replied seriously: "With so many troops gathered here, how can they be trained, if they just go through the motions, it will harm others, after all, if our training methods are not comprehensive, it will only be counterproductive, I also explained this to Cao Sikong, so how many people to train at present is up to us." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "This is the best, otherwise it will really tire people to death, but which general's soldiers are General Zhang going to train first?" ”

Zhang Liao laughed and said: "Naturally, it is the soldiers of their own people that are given priority, General Xu Chu's side has already begun, General Xiahou's is behind him, and then Cao Zhen's tiger and leopard ride, these three teams alone, in terms of time, will be almost barely qualified by next year, so we won't consider any more." ”

Yuan Yun smiled very happily, Zhang Liao always said that he was a little childish, and he always hoped to change this problem through hard work, who is the little family now, and the first to pick his own people in training, it seems that Zhang Liao is estimated to have been changed by him Yuan Yun.

"Don't our artillery care?" Yuan Yun asked again, because the artillery was out of the limelight when the gunpowder army attacked Yecheng last time, and it is estimated that there are definitely not a few people who are worried about it.

Zhang Liao shook his head when he heard Yuan Yun ask, and then replied: "No one has ever asked about this, and I felt very strange at first, but later Guo Jiajun explained that these generals are very real, and they will definitely not be able to get artillery, so they simply don't ask." ”

Yuan Yun immediately pursed his lips, then shook his head and said: "Now that Luoyang is making artillery, I really hope that I can sell some of it, and ensure that no matter how high the price is, those generals will not bargain, but it's a pity." ”

Zhang Liao heard that Yuan Yun had plans to sell artillery, and immediately stopped: "This artillery is the treasure of the gunpowder army, how can it be handed over to others, Yuan Hou should not laugh." ”

Seeing Zhang Liao's petty family spirit on his face again, Yuan Yun was very happy, but he quickly frowned and said: "The artillery has been strictly forbidden by Cao Sikong to leave the gunpowder army, and now even General Xu Chu can't get it, so the sale of artillery is just a matter of saying that the arms trade behind Luoyang is still dominated by swordsmen." ”

Zhang Liao was a little relieved, and Ma immediately said with a smile: "We can also earn a lot of swordsmen alone, and Yuan Hou should also be satisfied." ”

Satisfy? Yuan Yun disagreed, today's Luoyang has risen very rapidly, although the problem of food has been solved, but with the expansion of production, all places need to spend money, the wealth hoarded at the beginning has now become the cost price, almost only until the end of the year, can see the income, of course, this income is also very exaggerated.

Since Luoyang is clearly doing business, then you can't feel that there is a lot of money to make money, and a businessman who thinks that there is a lot of money is definitely not a qualified good businessman, so the money outside has to be earned, and the money of these Cao generals cannot be let go, so that Luoyang, which is like a monster, can continue to grow.

As for how big it will be? Yuan Yun didn't think about it now, he didn't even bother to think about it, because the plans of the past few years have almost been surpassed, who would have thought that the cannons and hot air balloons would be turned back three years ago, and now they are not all equipped in the gunpowder army.

Watching the sunset in the distance climb to the middle, Yuan Yun pointed in the direction of the camp, and then smiled at Zhang Liao: "It's been a long time since I've had a military meal with my brothers, and since I'm here today, let's go and have a meal." ”

Zhang Liao heard Yuan Yun say this, and his face unnaturally showed a wry smile, but when he saw that Yuan Yun had already walked to the front happily, he didn't say anything more, now noon is the time after the gunpowder army has a meal on time, and it is also the time when those generals from other battalions come to report on time, I really don't know what will happen in a while.

After Yuan Yun arrived at the camp of the Gunpowder Army, the corners of his mouth began to twitch, and he twitched very much, because there were a few old guys sitting there on the edge of the camp, and the most conspicuous of them was Xu Chu, who was holding his feet at the moment, and turned back from time to time to urge the cook to speed up.

When Xu Chu saw Yuan Yun, he immediately stood up from the simple chair, then came to his side in three steps and two steps, and immediately patted Yuan Yun's shoulder with the hand he had just finished buckling his feet, which made Yuan Yun only feel like he was about to vomit.

"I brought a few of your uncles and uncles over to mix rice today, I don't want your kid to have to run around today, he has the appearance of a little gunpowder army commander." After Xu Chu finished speaking, he turned around and said hello, and in a moment, an entourage moved a new chair.

Before Yuan Yun sat down, he first greeted the seven or eight generals present, and then sat down beside Xu Chu helplessly, and then laughed dryly and said, "I don't know what kind of food the gunpowder army makes today?" ”

Yuan Yun asked before he spoke, and the people on the side thought that the general would smile and quipped: "Yuan Hou, you are the commander of the Gunpowder Army, what kind of food are you, why do you want to ask General Xu Chu?" ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched again, the bastard Xu Chu started breakfast every day, and as soon as he arrived at the meal, he came to the gunpowder army to report, which was even more punctual than those soldiers, and there was a new problem recently, that is, the food of the gunpowder army had become his decision, and it was completely according to his preferences.

Xu Chu laughed at the moment, and then patted his belly and said: "This really has to ask Lao Tzu, I ordered the recipe yesterday, there is braised pork at noon today, tsk, the soldiers of the gunpowder army eat better than our generals, grandma's." ”

Yuan Yun sighed secretly, and then looked pitifully at the dozen or so cooks who were busy in the kitchen, where are there any recipes in the barracks, they are all forced for Xu Chu, and there is no way to prepare one, and then he is waiting for this uncle to order food every day, and he is about to catch up with the fast food restaurants in the future.

When a kind of general began to praise the braised pork, Xu Chu lowered his voice, and then said to Yuan Yun: "The kid went to Zhongshan to make such a big thing, and now everyone in the clans in the four northern states is in danger, and the lord has begun to let Xun You thoroughly investigate these people, Xun You is meticulous, and those clans who have not broken the matter at all, so now they are being made to fly and jump dogs, as long as they see the lord's personal guards being taken to the door by Xun You, this family has the intention of hanging." ”

Yuan Yun didn't care much about those big families at all, and Xu Chu was also very clear, now that he was doing this in front of him, it seemed that he had a strong purpose, and he didn't move, and continued to remain silent, anyway, Xu Chu couldn't contain anything, and he would be able to say it all in a while.

Sure enough, after Xu Chu started, he immediately changed his words and said: "Lao Tzu doesn't value money, but he admires heroes, there is a guy named Tian Yu, Lao Tzu admires him very much, but recently his family was found to have hidden private food, so Xun You was ready to ask for the guilt, and this matter was not made by Tian Yu, it was completely his useless brother." ”

When Xu Chu said this, he glanced at Yuan Yun's face, and saw that he also seemed to show a concerned expression, and immediately continued: "Your kid is the most important, your kid has gone to do it for my old man, and it will be of great benefit to you when you turn back." ”

Of course, Yuan Yun was going to show a look of concern, Tian Yu was a powerful Karasuma later, how could such a character raid his home now, doesn't this mean that this person's heart is cold? It's just that Xu Chu asked himself to go to Cao Cao, which doesn't seem so simple, how could he think so well as an old man?

After pondering, Yuan Yun asked tentatively: "The one who is most valued by Cao Sikong is naturally Guo Jiajunshi, Uncle Xu Chu doesn't go to him, that's why he asked you to come to me, right?" ”

Xu Chu pursed his lips, and then said unhappily: "You two are smart people, I Lao Xu went to find Guo Jiajunshi, and he said that he would let me come to you, and said that your kid would definitely agree." ”

"Promise, why don't you agree, Uncle Xu Chu's explanation, then it must be done for your boss, the kid will go to see Cao Sikong in a while, but Cao Sikong's mind is difficult to figure out, as for the result, I can't guarantee it." Yuan Yun readily agreed, because what he admired in his heart was these heroes who fought abroad, so Tian Yu was saved.

"By the way, since Tian Yu has jumped out, then a person named Su Youke has heard of it?" 7 Yuan Yun asked again.

Xu Chu touched his chin, and then replied: "This person seems to be a subordinate of the trial, and later surrendered, and helped a lot, but there is nothing more impressive, why did you kid ask this person?" ”

Yuan Yun naturally knew that Su You appeared as Tian Yu's deputy general, and he also shined when he was fighting against Karasuma, how could such a character be missed?

Just when Yuan Yun just wanted to explain, he saw Xu Chu's eyes roll, and then rushed to say: "Don't care what Su You is, it's just a small role at most, what I'm thinking about now is the dishes in the kitchen, don't fight with you kid, you have done your thing, don't delay." ”

After speaking, Xu Chu got up and left the chair directly, and then swaggered to the kitchen, and after a while, he heard him shouting from there, and said: "Why does it take so long to make braised pork, isn't it ready to be eaten after two turns in the pot?" ”

For a rough person like Xu Chu, Yuan Yun can only smile bitterly, what else can he do? If you are reasonable with the other party, it is estimated that you will be picked up and slapped on the back of the head, and now you are also the commander of the gunpowder army, and you always pat the back of the head, but it is very undignified, so Xu Chu doesn't take care of herself, that is, she begs her father to tell her grandmother.

Xu Chu walked into the kitchen and scolded the cook, turned around and slipped out of the back door, and then carefully called one of his own generals, and then said earnestly: "You hurry up and check for Lao Tzu, where is a person named Su You now?" After finding someone, don't ask too much, just arrest our camp directly for Lao Tzu, and this person will be Lao Tzu's person in the future. ”

The general was confused for a while, and muttered: "General, who is this Su You, I haven't heard of it, how capable can I be, why are I in such a hurry to find someone?" ”

Xu Chu's big feet kicked out directly, and he was not angry when he saw that he was habitually dodging, so he immediately said with a straight face: "You know a fart, just now Yuan Hou mentioned this person to Lao Tzu, then this person is definitely a capable person, just now Lao Tzu found that Yuan Hou that kid had the intention of recruiting, so he slipped over, if we can't dare to start in front of him, this fierce general is estimated to be abducted by the gunpowder army again." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Chu snorted again, and then said with a smug smile: "I think I am stupid, you are stupid, the person Yuan Xiaozi wants to woo, which is not a powerful person, and I don't know if this is the magic method of their immortal family, it seems that it has never been allowed." ”
