Chapter 937: Slowly laid out
"Berning, Yuan Rang is fierce and restless, this time when you meet this white soldier, you will inevitably not fall into a bitter battle, you as a prison soldier, escort some supplies in a few days, and then go." Cao Cao's face sank, and he commanded a man with a cold face, a stern demeanor, and a broad face in the strategist's seat. This person is Cao Jun Sima Man's favor, who is known for his strict management of the army, and his cautious nature and many calculations, which is quite appreciated by Cao Cao. When Man Zhong heard this, he immediately stood up, and said with a deep face: "Don't worry, your subordinates will not disappoint your lord." ”
"Well, I've always been relieved of Berning's errands. Go ahead. Cao Cao bowed slightly, and then withdrew again.
At this time, Cao Cao turned his eyes to Cao Ren again, but he saw that Cao Ren had not finished speaking. Cao Ren's expression tightened, and then he said: "In addition to Hedong, the last general is under the command of the Yingchuan border, and a few days ago there was news that Lu Bu, who was stationed in Xinye, got a lot of money from somewhere, and got Liu Biao's consent to start recruiting troops. And many vicious people, admiring Lu Bu's notoriety, defected one after another. Now it is said that Lu Bu has recruited five or six thousand troops, and at the same time, the recruits in the army are trained by Lu Bu himself! This person is a villain in the world, capricious, and the last general is afraid that he will take advantage of our army's unpreparedness and attack Yingchuan! ”
"Oh? This Lu Bu has resurrected again, this person is vicious and stubborn, it is not so easy to deal with! Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, but he was a little interested in meeting Lu Fengxian, who was once the number one in the world and was scolded as an 'evil man'!
And someone seemed to see Cao Cao's intentions, and suddenly, a fierce and vicious momentum surged up like a wild wave, making the two civil and military seats unchanged.
"Evil comes!" Cao Cao frowned, and suddenly shouted, and the terrifying momentum instantly faded like a low tide. Everyone was a lot more relaxed, and some couldn't help but look at the peerless evil god standing in the left corner of the hall - Dian Wei!
"That evil man is now protected by Liu Jingsheng. Over the years, Liu Jingsheng has not come out, people all over the world think that he is old and has lost his ambitions, but in fact, this person is shrewd and strategic, but he is secretly preparing, there is no shortage of elite soldiers and fierce generals in Jingzhou, and now is not the time for me to take Jingzhou. As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, everyone comprehended. Cao Ren's face froze, and he asked again: "What does the lord think should be?" ”
Cao Cao was obedient, but set his eyes on the strategist's seat, Xun You's eyes lit up, so he got up again, and said: "Back to the lord, according to the eagle's report, this Lu Fengxian seems to be quite advanced with the Xiangyang Cai family, so it is very likely that the funds he received are from the Cai family." Then there is Cai's bad intentions to replace Jingzhou. Therefore, I think that Lu and Cai are likely to unite together, and it is not even necessary to seek Jingzhou! ”
As soon as Xun You's words came out, everyone couldn't help but change color, but Cao Cao raised his eyebrows with interest: "This is a little interesting." ”
Cao Cao's unhurried attitude frightened many people. Cao Hong hurriedly shouted: "Lord! Lu Bu is a jackal tiger, but if he gets Jingzhou, it may be difficult for the south to stabilize dìng, according to what I see, it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible, so as to prevent future troubles! As soon as Cao Hong said this, he immediately received a lot of support, although Lu Bu has been quite silent over the years, but the notoriety he left behind back then is huge, no wonder these people are so disgusted and hateful.
"What does Gongda think?" Cao Cao stroked his crooked thick beard, and immediately asked Xun You.
"According to his humble opinion, this Lu Fengxian can be used. After all, in the near future, when our army fights Ma's family, it will be a vicious battle, and how long the war will last, I am afraid that no one dares to speculate. Therefore, if you can let this Lu Bu make trouble in Jingzhou, it would be good if Liu Jingsheng would have no time to covet my Cao family's neck. Unbeknownst to him, Xun Yu said something that most people did not expect. Sure enough, as soon as Xun You's voice fell, Cao Hong was so nervous that he seemed to jump up, suddenly jumped up, and shouted with his eyes: "Gongda, do you mean that you want my Cao clan to unite with Lu Bu, a traitorous villain!?" Don't you be afraid of being betrayed by him!? ”
"Hehe, Zilian, don't be impatient. This Lu Bu is just uninhibited and indulgent by nature, accustomed to acting by sex, and does not want to be under others, but he is not a great evildoer. As long as the interests are the same, he is also a credible person. The reason why I was able to finally defeat Dong Zhuo and rescue the Son of Heaven back then was because of his help? Cao Cao suddenly laughed brightly, looking at his appearance, he admired Lu Bu quite a lot.
Cao Cao's love for talent is well known under Cao Jun. Seeing this, Cao Ren was afraid that Cao Cao would do it knowing that he couldn't do it, and said: "But this person is unruly in nature, and he is afraid that he will not accept the lord's affection." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but tighten, and immediately fell silent. At this time, Xun You continued: "Now that the lord is the prime minister of the dynasty, he should not unite with a notorious rat like Lu Bu, otherwise if it is known by the world, it will have a bad impact on the reputation of the lord." However, the lord could secretly send someone to conspire with Na Lu Bu, and pretended to promise that he would hand over Jingzhou to him to guard in the future, but the only condition was that he must bow down to my Cao clan. But if Lu Bu is unwilling, we can secretly release the news of Lu and Cai's conspiracy, which makes Liu Biao suspicious of him, so that Lu Bu will not be able to establish himself in Jingzhou. ”
As soon as Xun You's voice fell, Cao Cao's eyes immediately shot out two fine lights, and he looked at Xun You's eyes tightly: "Gongda thinks that this Lu Bu will bow down to Cao Mou!?" ”
The reason why Cao Cao asked was because even he didn't believe that Lu Bu, who had been a hero in the world and was unparalleled in the world, was willing to bow down to him, even if it was hypocritical, Cao Cao felt that it was impossible.
At this time, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the fierce warriors and famous generals under the command of a group of princes in the Tiger Prison Pass, but he was invincible and invincible.
In fact, since then, Cao Cao has already had the intention of subduing Lu Bu, of course, he was still weak at that time, so this thought was just a flash. Or maybe Lu Bu was too dazzling at that time, so that Cao Cao, who is now the prime minister, seems to be a little afraid to face it!
Seeing that Cao Cao's eyes were amazing, no one expected that Cao Cao had thoughts back then.
At this time, Xun You solemnly arched his hand and replied cautiously: "Today's Lu Bu has experienced setbacks, and its sharp angles have long been smoothed, and after being defeated by the other to that ghost god Ma Xi, he can be willing to swallow his anger under Liu Biao for so many years. And the lord is the prime minister of the dynasty and the hero of the world, is it worse than Liu Jingsheng, who has reached the twilight of his life and has long lost his ambitions? ”
As soon as Xun Yu said this, Cao Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, Gongda's words are very much in line with my heart, then this matter will be arranged according to you!" ”
=========================================
However, it was said that just as the Sun family was about to get Jiangdong, Cao Cao was also stabilizing the situation, and on the other hand, in Puyang, Yanzhou, Ma Zongheng was a bit of a plaything. Speaking of which, it has been almost a month since Ma Zongheng met Huang Yueying. Although Ma Zongheng and Huang Yueying have an age difference of more than ten years, they have a feeling of hating each other, and the two are very compatible. Not long after, Ma Zongheng recognized Huang Yueying as his sister-in-law, if it weren't for Huang Yueying's extremely ugly appearance, it would really make people mistakenly think that Ma Zongheng was going to take another wife and concubine. And Huang Yueying is smart and kind, but she is also quite happy with Wang Yi's daughters. Soon, Huang Yueying even moved into the General's Mansion, and Ma Zongheng also vacated a mansion in the mansion for her to stay, which can be said to be very much in love with her. And his son Ma Yi is also very close to Huang Yueying, and recently, he has often been with Huang Yueying and Ma Zongheng in the studio. And Ma Zongheng is very mysterious, and he specially ordered Feiyu to guard around, except for the family members in the house, idle people are not allowed to enter. Wang Yi's several ladies, but they were also curious to visit, and they were all surprised. At first, Beigong Feng was extremely interested, and after staying in the studio for a few days, he found that he couldn't interject at all, so he was bored and never came again. In addition, Wang Yi also realized how powerful Ma Zongheng's invention was, so he persuaded the other sisters not to go in and out casually, so as not to leak the news and ruin the big thing. The women also obeyed Wang Yi's words, so they didn't set foot in the studio again. And Wang Ying also ordered Ma Yi not to go, but he never resisted his son, and he was still unwilling. For this reason, Ma Yi also had a trouble, and later Ma Zongheng saw that his son was rarely interested, and persuaded Wang Ying, and after suffering some flesh and skin, Ma Yi got Wang Ying's permission.
On this day, in the studio, I saw iron sawdust everywhere, arranged in a disorderly manner, but there were also many strange-shaped semi-finished products, including cows and horses as high as more than a foot of iron, there were also human-shaped iron men, and there were also some things similar to car frames.
"No, no! If this is made of iron alone, it is too cumbersome, and if the power is insufficient, it will not be able to drive. In my opinion, it is better to forge it from wood. ”
"But if it is made of hardwood, it is too fragile, and the enemy will attack it and it will be broken up immediately!!"
"But if it's all made of iron, it costs a lot of money, so what does it do if it can't be mass-produced!? You stupid horse!! ”
"Oops, you clown duck dare to scold me!!" Seeing that Ma Zongheng and Huang Yueying, the two righteous brothers and sisters, were arguing so red-faced, they almost had a big fight. At this time, Ma Yi, who was beside him, suddenly said: "Dad, sister-in-law! Why don't you try the inner bracket is made of wood, and the outer layer is protected by iron sheets. Just like when we are on the battlefield, it is naturally easy to be killed by people with flesh and blood alone, but if we put on armor, it is different. ”
The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Ma Yi's reminder can be described as waking up the person in the dream with a word, Ma Zongheng and Huang Yueying looked at each other, and immediately buried their heads again and began to work hard. Ma Yi saw that his mention seemed to be useful, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he was also a thug on the side.
After a while, suddenly there was a strange cry outside. Ma Zongheng couldn't help frowning, the world can be described as chaotic in recent days, Feiyu has repeatedly reported information, not long ago Ma Zongheng learned that the Sun family had broken through Wu County, and launched a message calling on the princes of the world to King Qin's news, followed by Luoyang's disarray, many patriotic loyalists denounced the news of Cao Cao, who had just ascended the throne of prime minister.
At this time, Huang Yueying, who was fiddling with a water vapor spray and didn't know what mechanism, shouted without thinking: "Brother, you go to business first, you don't have to accompany your little sister." ”
Ma Zongheng was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that he couldn't hide it from Huang Yueying. In fact, the situation in the world has been unstable in recent days, and he has no intention of focusing on the affairs of this studio, but he sees that Huang Yueying is very interested in this invention, and he hopes to deepen his relationship with Huang Yueying, of course, Ma Zongheng also has other selfish intentions, in addition to Huang Yueying's husband who will be known as the first wise man of the ages, and he also hopes that Huang Yueying can invent Zhuge crossbows, wooden oxen and flowing horses and other military weapons as soon as possible to equip them in the army, so that the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly improved.
"Okay, Yi'er, you are a thug for your sister-in-law!" Ma Zongheng looked at Huang Yueying and quickly turned his attention back to work, couldn't help but smile slightly, and then commanded Ma Yi next to him.
"Dad, don't worry, my sister-in-law will leave it to me." Ma Yi immediately showed a bright smile, don't look at Ma Yi is still young, his strength is now more powerful than ordinary men, and he specializes in being a thug behind Huang Yueying on weekdays. At the beginning, Ma Yi's terrifying strength also startled Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying tinkered with Ma Yi for a while, as if to see if he had some mechanism hidden in his body, which made Ma Yi blush.
After Ma Zongheng heard Ma Yi's promise, he glanced at Huang Yueying again, seeing that she didn't pay attention to it at all, in normal times, just after Ma Yi's words, the arrogant and naughty Huang Yueying had already jumped up in anger and pounced on Ma Yi.
When he was young, after Ma Zongheng walked out of the studio, he turned into a courtyard on the west side of the General's Mansion, and the people who flew feathers were already waiting, and when they saw Ma Zongheng, they immediately knelt down on one knee.
"No courtesy. What's the matter, report it quickly! Ma Zongheng's eyes narrowed, for some reason, he has been restless in recent days, as if something big is about to happen, and at the same time, he has sent people to summon the civil and military guards from all over the country to come back, ready to discuss the situation today.
