Guo Jia opened his mouth to ask, and Cao Shuo understood, and he said some modern terms that Guo Jia could not understand.

With a grin, he said to Guo Jia: "I have been well-read since I was a child, I knew the Analects at the age of three, and memorized the Spring and Autumn Period at the age of five. At the age of seven, he can already memorize the historical records backwards. In addition to that, I also like to dabble in some other books, which of course I learned from books. ”

Looking at Cao Shuo suspiciously, Guo Jia said: "I also like to read books, and I have learned a lot from books, but I have never heard what Gongzi said." ”

"Guo Gong doesn't know." Seeing that he really couldn't get past it, Cao Shuo made it up blindly: "I don't know if Guo Gong has ever heard of Qin Shi Huang burning books and pit Confucianism?" ”

"Of course I did." Guo Jia asked, "Could it be that Gongzi is reading all the books that were burned by Qin Shi Huang?" ”

"How is that possible?" Cao Shuo said in a serious nonsense: "The ones I have seen are all those that Qin Shi Huang thought were burned by him, but in fact they were not burned at all." ”

"Since Childe has read so many divine books, can you lend me one or two to read?" Guo Jia asked.

What Cao Shuo said was his cognition more than 2,000 years later, and where could he get a book for Guo Jia to read.

He hurriedly said: "Guo Gong's request is really embarrassing, I read those books when I was a child, and now many years have passed, and I don't know where to throw them for a long time......"

Looking at Cao Shuo suspiciously, Guo Jia always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"It's a pity!" didn't see anything wrong, Guo Jia had to say: "I thought I could borrow the divine book from my son, but I didn't expect to miss the opportunity." ”

"Yes." Cao Shuo said: "If Guo Gong sees a good book in the future, he must read it as soon as possible, otherwise when it will be gone, it is impossible to say." ”

Smiling slightly, Guo Jia said, "What Childe said is true." ”

When Cao Shuo and Guo Jia were building the Thunderbolt together, Yuan Shao was also urging to complete the Arrow Tower as soon as possible.

Walking under the high slope, Yuan Shao looked up at the arrow towers, and asked Guo Tu beside him: "Gongzhi, when will these arrow towers be completed?" ”

"It should be soon." Guo Tu replied: "The short is three to five days, and the long is more than ten days. ”

"Don't procrastinate." Yuan Shao said: "The war is urgent, the sooner we build, the sooner we can shoot and kill the enemy." ”

Guo Tu couldn't stop answering.

Yuan Shao said again: "If Zhengnan is here, he will definitely be able to supervise it very quickly." ”

Earlier, the trial did follow Yuan Shao's side, but later the war gradually stabilized, and Guandu didn't need so many staff to follow, worried that something would happen in Yecheng, Yuan Shao asked the trial to go back to Yecheng first.

When he mentioned the trial at this time, Guo Tu felt a little uncomfortable.

However, he didn't say it, but said to Yuan Shao flatteringly: "What Yuan Gong said is that Zhengnan has always attached importance to the law, and if he is allowed to supervise, he will definitely supervise it much faster than me." ”

"If you know, it's good." Glancing at Guo Tu, Yuan Shao said: "You are also good at everything, but there is one that is worse." ”

"Please also ask Yuan Gong to make it clear." Guo Tu has always been good at meeting horses, Yuan Shao said that he has a bad one, even if he thinks it is not bad, he will never contradict Yuan Shao.

"You can't compare to due south in the use of the law." Yuan Shao said: "If you can be like him, I can also use you a little more." ”

"Yuan Gong rest assured, from today onwards, I urge the soldiers to build the arrow tower as soon as possible." Guo Tu said: "It will definitely not delay Yuan Cheng's affairs." ”

"That's for the best, of course." Yuan Shao said: "With more care, whether you can break Cao Cao depends on whether these arrow towers can be put into use as soon as possible." ”

Guo Tu responded again.

Yuan Shao said: "After days of expeditions, I am also a little sleepy, go back and rest first, and hand it over to the public rule here." ”

"I'll send Yuan Gong." Guo Tu bowed his head and accompanied Yuan Shao.

Sending Yuan Shao away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Glancing back at the arrow tower on the dirt slope, Guo Tu walked over quickly.

On the slope, he saw a group of Yuan soldiers firing arrows at Cao's army, and many craftsmen were busy building arrow towers.

"Yuan Gong just said, you guys are too slow to build." With his hands on his hips, Guo Tu shouted to the craftsmen who were busy building the arrow tower: "Speed up, don't let Yuan Gong urge you again." ”

Hearing his shout, the craftsmen were still working as unhurriedly as before.

"Didn't hear me?" Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Guo Tu was furious.

A craftsman stood up, bowed to him and said, "Back to Guo Gong, it is very troublesome to build the arrow tower, and we want to ...... it quickly."

"What do you do?" Guo Tu asked.

"Back to Guo Gong, I am responsible for the construction of the arrow tower here." The craftsman said: "Located on the dirt slope, the material is delivered slowly, not because we don't want to be fast, but really can't be fast......"

"Can't you really get up soon?" Guo Tu frowned and asked the craftsman.

"It's really not going to be fast." The craftsman didn't notice that there was something unusual about his face, and bowed to him with his fists in his hands.

Pointing to another craftsman, Guo Tu said, "From today onwards, this place will be handed over to you to be responsible." ”

The craftsman he pointed at was stunned, stood up and was at a loss.

"Then I'll ......" The craftsman who was in charge of building the arrow tower was removed from his position by Guo Tu, and he was also stunned and wanted to ask how to arrange it.

"Pull it down, cut it!" Guo Tu instructed the guards.

"Why?" Unexpectedly, a few words actually caused a fatal disaster, and the craftsman hurriedly shouted: "Guo Gong Mingjian, everything I said is the truth......

"I don't care if you're the truth!" Guo Tu glared at him and said, "What I want is not to delay the military affairs of the army, but you are here to drag on me, and there are many excuses, what's the use of keeping you?" ”

"Drag it off!" He gave a shout to the guard.

Two guards stepped forward, grabbed the craftsman and dragged him down the dirt slope.

Dragged away by the guards, the craftsman shouted while struggling: "Guo Gong spare his life, I can make the progress faster!" ”

Guo Tu smiled contemptuously and asked the craftsman he named, "Are you sure that the arrow tower will be built as soon as possible?" ”

"The general forgives the sins." The craftsman named by him lowered his head and said timidly: "I'm sure, but I'm worried that everyone won't listen to me, after all, ......."

"I know you're struggling with something." Guo Tu interrupted him: "From today on, you have the power to kill and kill, whoever dares not to listen to you, kill me!" ”

Turning around, he said to the craftsman, "I only need progress, and I won't care about you the rest." ”

"General rest assured." The craftsman he named said, "I will finish it as soon as possible!" ”

Glancing at Cao Jun hiding behind the wall, a smile appeared on the corner of Guo Tu's mouth.

As long as the arrow tower is erected, the Yuan army can shoot arrows at the Cao army from a higher ground, and no matter how the Cao army hides, it is impossible to avoid the Yuan army's arrows.
