Huang Zhong mentioned that Cao Heng would lead the troops to experience.

Cao Shuo smiled and asked, "Han Sheng said this, do you feel that your son-in-law is not very satisfied?" ”

"Not really." Huang Zhong replied: "The eldest son is the blood of the lord, and the lord is a martial artist, and he is not far behind." I just think that the lord has laid down such a big country, someone has to guard it, if it is in the hands of the eldest son, wouldn't it be bad for the lord? ”

Cao Shuo laughed and said to Huang Zhong: "Actually, Han Sheng doesn't say that, I'm also thinking about letting him lead the troops to practice." It's just that now I haven't been crowned emperor yet, and he is still in Shouchun, so I don't have a chance to bring him with me. ”

"What does the lord mean......" Huang Zhong seemed to understand what Cao Shuo meant, but he didn't seem to understand too much, so he asked.

Cao Shuo said: "I mean to wait until the Southern Barbarians are defeated and I become emperor, and then let him go to crusade against the Qianren, what does Hansheng think?" ”

"It's great that the lord can give the eldest son a chance to crusade against the people." Huang Zhong was very satisfied with what Cao Shuo said.

Cao Heng and Huang Wudie already have a marriage contract, and it won't be long before the two will get married.

Huang Zhong and his wife have a son, who has been seriously ill since childhood.

Fa's wife died due to the difficult birth of his son, and Huang Zhong raised his son wholeheartedly in those years, but in the end he still couldn't keep it.

He thought that there was no hope in life.

There is not even a descendant, and even if he achieves many merits, who will inherit the rewards he has received?

Just when he was almost in despair, Cao Shuo rescued Cai Yan from the Huns.

To Huang Zhong's surprise, Cai Yan was really an extremely fertile land.

married to the Huang family for only a few years, and gave birth to three children one after another.

Huang Wudie is his eldest daughter, and in terms of age, she is a good match for Cao Heng.

Old to have sons and old women, Huang Zhong is of course very happy, and he also attaches great importance to a few children.

When the eldest daughter got married, Huang Zhong asked people to send a letter back to Cai Yan, asking her to buy more dowry, and she must marry her daughter in a beautiful way!

Cai Yan would not let him down, and after the order, Huang Zhong didn't ask any more.

What he is most concerned about now is the future of his son-in-law.

Cao Heng is Cao Shuo's eldest son, and Huang Wudie is Cao Shuo's eldest daughter-in-law.

According to the order of brothers, it will definitely be Cao Heng who will inherit Cao Shuo's family business in the future.

What Huang Zhong is worried about is that if Cao Heng does not have the experience on the battlefield, he will not be able to control the brothers below in the future, and even if he takes over Cao Shuo's family business in the future, he may not be able to stabilize it.

Out of concern for his son-in-law, he asked Cao Shuo to allow Cao Heng to lead troops into battle and participate in the expedition.

Of course, Cao Shuo understands his mind and can also give understanding.

The father-in-law hopes that his son-in-law will become famous, and to put it more bluntly, he just wants his daughter to live a better life.

Since Huang Zhong proposed it, it was impossible for Cao Shuo to refuse him.

Even Cao Heng's affairs can't always be said, Huang Zhong diverted the topic: "After the lord captures Jiaozhi, does he have any plans to advance to the hinterland of the southern barbarians?" ”

"Advancing into the southward hinterland?" Cao Shuo asked: "In the hinterland of the Southern Barbarians, can our mines and artillery make some achievements?" ”

"The cannon could be a little more troublesome." Huang Zhong replied: "The hinterland of Nanban is full of mountains, and there are many places to set up cannons, but there are mountains to block them, and the accuracy is not necessarily. As for landmines, I think the more you are in the mountains and forests, the more you can use them to the extreme. ”

Turning the topic away from Cao Heng, Huang Zhong also has rich experience.

After living for so many years and leading soldiers for so many years, of course he knows that some things want to achieve their goals, and chattering endlessly will only have the opposite effect.

Once Cao Shuo is bored, things that were originally natural are likely to become complicated and uncertain because of his chatter.

He diverted the topic to the crusade against Nanban, and Cao Shuo certainly didn't want to talk about his son more.

"Has Hansheng ever tried to bury mines in the mountains?" Cao Shuo asked.

Huang Zhong replied: "Although I have never done it in the mountains, I feel that if I bury mines there, I will definitely cause a lot of trouble to the Southern Barbarians. As long as it is fried a few times, the southern barbarians, who are accustomed to walking through the mountains and forests, will also be afraid when they see the mountains. ”

"When the Southern Barbarians leave the mountains, they are nothing more." Cao Shuo nodded with a smile and said to Huang Zhong, "It seems that it is really necessary to do that." ”

"It's not early, tomorrow we will attack Jiaozhi, the lord will rest first." After talking to Cao Shuo for a long time, Huang Zhong got up and said, "I'll retire first." ”

"Hansheng has a good rest tonight." Cao Shuo said to Huang Zhong: "Early tomorrow morning, I will personally watch how you attack the city. ”

"The siege may be in more than ten days." Huang Zhong said: "The lord also said that the cannonballs brought are enough. I'm going to knock down the walls and attack Cochin again. ”

"Bombing the walls?" Cao Shuo smiled and waved his hand: "There's no need for that, our cannon is still a little accurate." As long as Hansheng asked the artillerymen to aim their guns at the city gate, he should be able to start a decisive battle with the barbarians tomorrow. ”

"I see!" Cao Shuo's reminder made Huang Zhongmao pause, he answered the order, and then retreated.

When Huang Zhong retreated, Cao Shuo picked up the book in front of him again.

The book was printed on paper made at the Penglai Paper Mill.

In Penglai, he not only built a paper mill and developed paper similar to that of later generations, but also invented living printing.

Penglai once printed some books by engraving printing.

Due to the limited number of times of use of engraving, it is often a piece of engraving that can only be thrown away after a few words are worn, resulting in a lot of waste.

When Cao Shuo was in Penglai, he instructed the craftsmen to make a way to export the word mold stuck on the template through the buckle, which word can not be used, and it can be replaced immediately by living printing.

Therefore, in various places under Cao Shuo's rule, most of today's books were printed in living printing.

What he was holding was a historical record printed with living printing.

The historical records record the history of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It is not only a history book, but also has a certain story.

In an era when storybooks were scarce, reading historical records as a pastime was also a good choice.

Looking at the historical records, before I knew it, the night was already thick.

Cao Shuo, who was not sleepy, closed the book and walked out of the tent.

The wind outside the tent was cool, and he stretched his waist and looked up at the sky.

It was the first day, and the sky was full of stars.

The stars are shining, bringing a bit of life and clarity to the night.

But Cao Shuo knew very well that after this night, when it was dawn, the cannons placed in front of the army formation would pour shells into Jiaozhi.

Many of the barbarians in Cochin City will be reduced to bloody and fragmented corpses under the bombardment of cannonballs.
