Chapter 23: On the right track
Guo Jia's ore materials were finally delivered, which made Yuan Yuan very happy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The foundations of the new city have been laid perfectly, and the construction of the houses has now begun, and Cao Ang has already recruited a large number of so-called workers in the territory.
The newly injected funds also played a great role, Jia Xu no longer had to worry about the lack of money, and he even had spare money to improve the food on the construction site.
Since Pu Yuan used yellow paper, he has worked harder, and the steelmaking workshop has also increased the output of more steel.
Ma Jun's design is now very mature, the main reason is that Yuan Yun is also a genius of design, while gradually teaching Ma Jun modern process design, Yuan Yun found that this person's growth can be described as terrifying.
The power of the large boom machine is now more powerful, and a few heavy boulders can be easily controlled by a powerless teenager like Yuan Yun.
And the construction tools that Ma Jun constantly designed were the favorites of all the laborers on the construction site, and they all affectionately called Ma Jun Ma Luban.
For this reason, Pu Yuan began to get angry again, and was ready to make a big breakthrough in steelmaking, so he hadn't left the room for ten days, and he was digging into it.
"It's all talent!" Yuan Yun sighed with emotion, and then went into Zheng Xuan's temporary residence.
Zheng Xuan held a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand, and now this kind of tea without any condiments has become the favorite of several old people, so he will boil a pot when dealing with official documents on weekdays, and even built a tea room in this temporary hotel.
Seeing Yuan Yun come in, Zheng Xuan smiled, then pointed to the position in front of him and said, "Brother Yuan has finished inspecting, have you found that a few of our old guys are lazy?" ”
Yuan Yun smiled, and then sat down in the seat, then took an empty cup and put it on the low table, took the tea poured by Zheng Xuan, and then leisurely arched his hand to Jia Xu and Hua Tuo who were sitting on both sides.
"There are still a few old gentlemen here to work hard, the kid really can't help it, but there are constant mundane things around him, and he really can't get out." Yuan Yun took a sip of tea, and his heart was full of guilt.
Jia Xu smiled and continued: "It's okay, as long as you keep sending money and various materials, even if you never show up, the old man won't feel anything wrong." ”
Hua Tuo immediately added: "In addition to the money and those medicinal materials, Pu Yuan and Ma Jun specially got a medicine house for the old man, although it is a little simpler, but they said that once the new city is completed, my medicine house is very large, so thinking about it, the old man can't be idle if he wants to, and now he needs a lot of medicinal materials to refine medicine." ”
Yuan Yun smiled all over his face, and after listening to a few words, he arched his hand and said: "It's easy to say, what do you three want, even if it is the moon in the sky, the kid will think of a way."
Nowadays, there are enough materials for steelmaking, and the materials for cement are constantly being transported from the Luoyang territory, so as for money, it is even more of a problem.
The 200,000 yuan handed over to Mr. Wenhe before was just the beginning, and now the gambling ball in Xudu and the hotel in Wancheng have a large number of inputs, and the follow-up will inevitably be supplied to the construction of the new city as much as possible. ”
Jia Xu nodded happily when he heard this, and then asked: "You seem to have offended many, many nobles, you have to deal with these things properly, otherwise if something happens to you, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue the construction of this new city." ”
When Zheng Xuan heard Jia Xu say this, he also frowned, and said with a straight face: "What kind of lottery tickets were made up by Brother Yuan, right?" Are you ruthless enough, are you ready to let Xu Du and these nobles go bankrupt?
These people are all the character of retribution, Brother Yuan still has to be cautious, although Dong Bi and his son Dong Cheng are pedantic, but among their staff, there are some capable people who have to be guarded against. ”
Yuan Yun arched his hand solemnly, indicating that he was taught.
It is inevitable to guard against those nobles, the master beside Dong Bi before was extremely powerful, so many steel crossbow salvos, he could also escape calmly, this kind of person would be a disaster if he didn't get rid of it earlier, and he never thought it was wrong to kill them all, so that master had to die!
After thinking about it, Yuan Yun gave his hand again and said: "The three old gentlemen don't have to worry about the affairs in Xu Du, you just need to plan the construction of this new city, as for how to make money and how to fight those nobles, these are all handed over to the boy me, I am also a Hou Ye now, and some things naturally have to be responsible." ”
After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he straightened his chest and pretended to be a great man, but in the eyes of Zheng Xuan and the others, he was still a thin monkey who seemed to fall down in the wind, but this little monkey was quite smart, if he despised him, he would inevitably be unlucky.
On the construction site outside the house, there is constantly the sound of the horns of the laborers when they are working, and the sense of rhythm is very strong, although they are all vulgar songs and the like, but at this moment listening to the ears of several respected old people, I feel very enjoyable.
Thinking of Yuan Yun's plans, which are being built gradually, they will be excited, such a different city, and they don't know what it will develop into in the future, which is really exciting and anxious.
Just when Yuan Yun was chatting with the three elders, Xu Chu, who had not seen him for a long time, came.
Xu Chu entered the house, and when he saw the three old men, he immediately bowed his hands, looking very respectful, after all, these three people are all people with great skills, and his admiration for scholars, according to Yuan Yun's words, is like a surging river.
After worshipping the three old men, Xu Chu picked up Yuan Yun as soon as he could, then threw it aside, sat opposite Zheng Xuan, and then said with a smile: "Three old men, I want to borrow this kid for use, I wonder if the three of you can make it convenient?" ”
Zheng Xuan stroked his beard and smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Although General Xu Chu uses it, anyway, the three old men don't expect him to help do anything now." ”
Xu Chu thanked him, then quickly grabbed the clay pot for tea, drank it in one go, and then walked to Yuan Yun's side, and then kicked him and said: "Guo Jiajun's teachers are looking for your boy, and the lord is also here, so hurry up and follow me now." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, damn, come to me now, won't it be because Lao Tzu burned Dong Bi's house, so he is ready to clean himself up, right? This is really unlucky, but now that he has been caught by Xu Chu, it is too late even if he wants to run.
In desperation, Yuan Yun said goodbye to Zheng Xuan respectively, and then put on his shoes and walked outside the house with Xu Chu.
At this moment, it is already more than half of the afternoon, and it is estimated that it will be evening when I arrive at Cao's Mansion, and I may be able to have dinner, so I thought about Cai Wenji again, and I promised to go to Cao's Mansion to see her, but I have been very busy, and I haven't seen her until now.
Alas, I don't know if this beautiful woman will be angry? It seems that tonight is all about seeing each other, anyway, the defense of men and women in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not so strict, and it is normal to meet before marriage.
After getting into the car, I found that Xu Chu did not choose to ride a horse, but also got into his own carriage.
Yuan Yun was about to ask a question, when he heard Xu Chu frown and said: "Liu Bei is hiding in Xiaopei now, surrounded by Lu Bu's army, and it is estimated that he will not last long." ”
Don't guess, today is not to arrest yourself to ask for the guilt, it is estimated that Cao Cao has decided to send troops to Xuzhou.
At this time, at the end of April, the spring ploughing has also ended, and at this time it is just right to gather the troops of Xu Du, Liu Bei can hold out until the end of September at most, and the army will be assembled plus the preparation of grain and grass, not to mention that it will take a month or two, and it will be able to catch up.
It's just that why do you want to call yourself over, are you still ready to let yourself play as a striker? Cao Ang had already said before, the two of them followed the army at most, and according to Yuan Yun's understanding, they didn't do anything, charged others, and sent you to death, Lao Tzu followed at most and shouted.
With a somewhat uneasy heart, Yuan Yun ordered Xiao Liu, and hurried to Cao's mansion, and inexplicably began to think in his heart, what kind of Xuanwei Hou of this bullshit must also find a way to get rid of it, otherwise he will definitely be played to death by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's study never seemed to be clean, and now it was like a pot of porridge, and the confrontation was about whether to fight or make peace with Yuan Shao?
The moment Yuan Yun entered the door, he wanted to open immediately, although Cao Cao's study was large, but at the moment it was full of people, including literary and martial arts, standing, sitting, and walking around, and there were people everywhere.
Cao Cao sat solemnly in the middle of the study, and then squinted his eyes like this, watching the quarrel of the crowd, but he didn't say a word, completely like a Bodhisattva.
Isn't it discussing the crusade against Lu Bu? How did it get to where Yuan Shao went? If you say Yuan Shao, it will be even more unexpected to call yourself here, although Lao Tzu is also a marquis, but he is only fifteen years old, is it too child's play to find himself for such a national event?
After Yuan Yun finished thinking about it, he had already reluctantly walked to Cao Ang's side, and everyone present just glanced at him when Yuan Yun came in, and then no one treated him as the same thing anymore, so it was much easier now.
Pushing down Cao Ang with his elbow, Yuan Yun said in a low voice: "You are discussing Yuan Shao in the north, why did you summon me?" ”
Cao Ang replied: "It's what Guo Jiajun meant, it is estimated that the last time I had dinner at your house, your impassioned words shocked Guo Jiajunshi, and I was ready to call you to say it again." ”
Yuan Yun's face twitched twice in an instant, and then turned his gaze to the window of the study, Guo Jia was leaning there and smiling, with an expression that was ready to toss people, this broken expression, Yuan Yun knew what he was going to do with his ass.
"Okay, everyone be quiet, and listen to our Yuan Hou."
Sure enough, when Guo Jia found that Yuan Yun looked at him, he immediately came to his senses, so he shouted to everyone present.
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone stopped and focused their eyes on Yuan Yun's body.
Yuan Yun trembled, there were Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and some less familiar generals in this group of people, and Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, and the rest did not know each other, and it was estimated that the status was not low, otherwise they would not be able to appear in Cao Cao's study.
Now that the group of people were focused on their own young man, the atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Yuan Yun only felt as if he was naked, and it was very uncomfortable to be looked at.
sighed secretly, and repeated the words about Lu Bu and Yuan Shao that Guo Jia said when he invited Guo Jia to dinner, but this time he deliberately added a prefix, that is, what his master Zuo Ci once said.
Guo Jia smiled playfully when he heard this, and he didn't break it, knowing that Yuan Yun was unwilling to be too eye-catching, this is a real smart person.
Cao Cao listened to Yuan Yun analyze Yuan Shao, and then talked about the issue that Lu Bu had to crusade, and finally after listening to everything, his eyes narrowed again.
Guo Jia also said these words, just from Yuan Yun's mouth, he felt a little special, after all, this son had just offered advice to capture Wancheng, and his words still carried the prestige of the time, which made people listen to it quite infectious.
"In this way, if Lu Bu is not eliminated, it will inevitably become a big trouble for us, yes or no?" Cao Cao asked casually, still showing nonchalance.
Without waiting for Yuan Yun to speak, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu stood up together, and then arched their hands at the same time: "It must be so!" ”
Yuan Yun immediately laughed in his heart, damn, he was used as a gun by these old guys again, and he didn't call himself to show his talent, but to be a pioneer for these old guys.
If you are a child, you can still say these truths, so if you don't want to go to war with Lu Bu, where do you have any opposition now, after all, your words are still quite convincing, because that is history.
Cao Ren took a step forward at this moment and said: "Lord, Lu Bu is a slave with three surnames, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are all lessons from the past, leave him in Xuzhou, once we start a war with Yuan Shao, he will inevitably stab us in the back, so we should send troops at this moment and eradicate them all while he is at war with Liu Bei." ”
Yuan Yun glanced at Cao Ren, but he didn't expect that this person seemed to have some real skills in addition to being aimed at himself and Cao Ang.
In the future, after Liu Biao surrendered, Cao Ren and Guan Erye died in Jingbei for a long time, and finally indirectly knocked Guan Erye to death, and Zhou Yu's death also has something to do with this thing.
Guo Jia finished using Yuan Yun at this time, so he ignored him, and when he saw Cao Ren say this, he immediately persuaded: "It's too early to send troops at this time, now Lu Bu just sent Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to attack Xiao Pei, most of his strength has not been used, and now we are in a hurry to attack, which will inevitably provoke Lu Bu to shrink, if Lu Bu and Liu Bei are forced to reunite and become horns, we will really have a headache." ”
Cao Cao immediately nodded and said: "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, if you send troops now, not only Lu Bu, but also Liu Bei will not be able to really surrender to me when there is still a chance to breathe, so it will inevitably force the two of them to unite again, it will be very bad."
We only need to keep a low profile of the whole army, and all the roads leading to Xuzhou are blocked, cut off any exchanges, and when Lu Bu and Liu Bei are both defeated, we can sit on the fisherman's profits, this plan is very good, and filial piety is very much in line with my wishes. ”
Yuan Yun began to feel sorry for Liu Bei at this moment, people live until their fate is in the hands of others, and they don't know how sad it is, thinking about it like this and thinking of themselves, isn't his own life also in the hands of others?
Alas, unlucky.
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he suddenly said to Cao Cao: "Lord, as for Yuan Shao in the north, I now have the certainty of victory, and my lord will listen to me to bring the ten victories and ten defeats in my heart one by one." ”
"Yuan boy, there are still details to discuss the dispatch of troops here, you don't need to participate in these, go down early." Cao Cao saw that Guo Jia said a way to defeat Yuan Shao, and immediately interrupted the other party's speech, and then directly ordered Yuan Yun to expel the guest.
Yuan Yun scolded secretly, the ghost just wanted to stay in this study for a long time, a bunch of bad old men, this sweat smell is about to catch up with the stable, there is no floor heat but it is more stuffy than Lao Tzu's study, and those who stay are fools.
After thinking about it, Yuan Yun immediately bowed, and then gave Cao Ang a sympathetic look, and hurriedly escaped.
Out of Cao Cao's study, Yuan Yun looked at the sky, it was just dusk, at this time to visit Cai Wenji, shouldn't she be kicked out, right?
