Many of them were either farmers or small craftsmen before joining the army.

Among them, of course, there are no shortage of stonemasons and carpenters.

It didn't take long for the two guards to find five soldiers for Cao Shuo who had worked as stonemasons and carpenters.

In the tent, five soldiers stood with their eyebrows bowed.

Cao Shuo drew something on a piece of Caihou paper, and after he finished drawing, he handed the paper to a few soldiers: "Can you make these things?" ”

A guard took the drawings and handed them to a soldier.

The other soldiers all threw their heads together.

After looking at the drawings on the paper, the soldier holding the drawings asked, "These things drawn by Childe look very strange, I don't know what they are for?" ”

"The one with two big ends and a rod connected in the middle is called a dumbbell." Cao Shuo said: "The one that is much larger than it is called a barbell, and the shelf supported by a wooden stick, one bar on it is called a horizontal bar, and two are called parallel bars." ”

Having never heard of any of these things, several soldiers looked at each other blankly.

"My body is relatively weak and I need to exercise." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "These things are used to strengthen the body. ”

The soldiers of the Cao army will also practice when there is no war.

But no one had ever used such a strange thing.

"It's done according to the picture." Cao Shuo said: "I marked which one uses stone, which one uses wood and the requirements for the hardness of the wood. ”

Although they didn't quite understand why Cao Shuo wanted to do these things, several soldiers retreated.

"You two go down and rest." The soldiers retreated, and Cao Shuo waved his hand at the two guards.

As the guards were about to exit the tent, Cao Shuo asked, "Are you two willing to follow me, or are you willing to return to the former general?" ”

As soon as he asked, the two guards hurriedly replied, "We are willing to follow Childe." ”

"Follow me, you won't be idle in the future." Cao Shuo said: "Since this is the decision, you go and rest first, and I will tell my father when I go back and leave you behind." ”

As soon as the two guards stepped back, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

When the footsteps reached the tent, Cao Shuo heard a person say, "Second son, Cao Gong is invited." ”

It had been quite a short time since he returned to the barracks, and Cao Cao should have finished discussing military affairs with the generals.

At this time, I called him over, probably to give him some reward.

Cao Shuo said to the man outside the tent, "I'll go with you." ”

Stepping out of the tent, he saw an officer waiting outside.

Seeing him come out, the officer said, "Duke Cao ordered me to invite the second son." ”

Cao Shuo nodded, and walked to Cao Cao's tent under the leadership of the officer.

When he arrived outside Cao Cao's tent, the officer said, "Second son, wait a minute, I will communicate to Cao Gong." ”

"Is Shuo'er here?" Before he could communicate, Cao Cao's voice came from inside the tent.

"Back to Cao Gong, it is the second son who is here." The officer said.

"Let him come in and talk."

The officer answered, and then said to Cao Shuo: "Second son, please come in!" ”

Walking into the tent, Cao Shuo found that Cao Cao was the only one in the tent.

Looking at a book, Cao Cao didn't raise his head, and asked him, "You have saved your father this time, what reward do you want?" ”

Cao Shuo saluted and said: "Escorting my father out of danger is originally a matter of my son's responsibility, if my father really wants to reward him, give me a position, and I can also establish meritorious service for the Cao family!" ”

Probably didn't think that Cao Shuo would make such a request, Cao Cao raised his head and looked at him and asked, "That's all?" ”

"That's all." Cao Shuo said: "The gold and silver treasures are all things outside the body, the Cao family is strong, and I can only keep the treasures rewarded by my father." Although the beauty is good, my body is afraid that I can't stand it. If you want those useless things, you might as well do what you can, and it's also an experience for me. ”

"It's that I, as a father, underestimate you." Cao Cao said: "In this case, you should be a captain of the school, lead two hundred troops, and follow your father every time you fight." ”

"Thank you, father!" Cao Cao allocated two hundred people to him, he hurriedly thanked him, and then said: "The two guards who followed me to escape from Wancheng also helped a lot this time, and I want to keep them by my side." ”

"There's no need to tell me about such a trivial matter." Cao Cao said: "If you want to keep them, just stay." ”

"I heard you just got a few stonemasons and carpenters?" Cao Cao then asked.

"Exactly."

"What do you do with a stonemason or a carpenter?"

"The child has been weak since childhood, and this time he escaped from Wancheng, although he also killed a few thieves, he always felt that he was constrained by too much body, and wanted to get some tools to strengthen his body."

After staring at Cao Shuo for a while, Cao Cao smiled slightly: "If you are not my son, I really suspect that you are a different person!" ”

Cao Shuo didn't say anything, but secretly marveled at Cao Cao's vicious eyes.

He is indeed no longer the Cao Shuo of the past.

In this weak body, he is a special soldier who has made a lot of contributions and killed a lot of people.

"What's the good of those utensils?" Cao Cao said: "There are many ways to strengthen the body, and it is difficult to guarantee how much effect it can be achieved with equipment alone. In my opinion, you should ask the generals for advice on how to strengthen your body. ”

"I will." Cao Shuo responded.

Ask the generals for advice, and of course he will do it.

After all, the battlefields of this era still use cold weapons, which are different from the hot weapons he is used to.

Firearms can kill enemies from a distance, while in the era of cold weapons, although there are bows and arrows and crossbows, the killing of enemies mainly depends on face-to-face combat.

To survive in this era and be valued by Cao Cao, he must have a strong physique and the skill to use cold weapons!

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

He was about to speak, when the voice of the guard came from outside the tent: "Qi Qi Cao Gong, General Sun Guan of the Qingzhou Army asks to see you." ”

"General Sun wants to see him, there must be something important." Cao Shuo said: "The child will retire first......"

Cao Cao said lightly: "The important matter has been discussed with the generals just now, and it will not be a particularly important matter for him to come to see me, so you can stay here and listen more and learn more, which will also be beneficial for you to lead troops in the future." ”

When Cao Shuo agreed, Cao Cao instructed outside the tent: "Please General Sun come into the tent and speak." ”

The curtain was lifted, and a burly general in bronze armor walked in.

The one who walked in, with a long scar on the left side of his face, looked fierce and full of gangsterism, Cao Shuo searched the memories in his mind, but found nothing about him.

There is no such person in his memory, and before coming to this era, he should have never crossed paths with Sun Guan.

Saluted to Cao Cao, the burly Sun Guan actually knelt on the ground with his legs bent, and cried and said: "Please Gong Cao is the master of the Qingzhou Army who died unjustly!" ”

Sun Guan knelt down like this, and Cao Cao asked, "What is General Sun doing?" Get up and talk! ”

PS: Today I looked at the "Plain Book" in "The Complete Guide to Chinese Wisdom", and suddenly I had a lot of feelings.

The last book "The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms" is the most tiring one I have written, and it is also the most unflattering one. It can be said that the book, I read the strategy all day before writing it, and I can only write a pitiful two chapters a day, and the explosion is like half of the death. However, the results are not satisfactory, and can only be said to be very average.

For the sake of the new book, I haven't written for a long time, and I even went to Hainan for a while, sitting on the beach all day and meditating, how can I write a new book well, and how can I make it acceptable to more readers.

Until one day, I understood that the "Twenty-four History", "The Complete History of China", "Five Thousand Years of China", "Twenty-four History of the Vernacular", "Ancient Chinese Wild History......", "Ancient Chinese Yi History", "Chinese Emperor", "Empress of China" and other history books on the bookshelf at home can only be used as a reference for writing history, and I can't get too entangled in them, I know that I can open a new book.

At the beginning, in order to write history well, in order to write historical novels more like history, I spent 30,000 or 40,000 yuan to get a shelf full of history books. What I didn't expect was that I dug a pit and buried myself.

Fake smart people want to write something different about history and pick out controversial content from history books, but they find that a lot of research party will come to Baidu Baidu to criticize you, and then say that you don't understand history.

Those who know a little bit of history know that chili peppers only came over in the Ming Dynasty, and iron pots only appeared in the Song Dynasty. However, in the novel, the protagonist doesn't make anything different, what does he do when he travels through the past? Nothing to do squatting in the corner and counting ants to play?

I just want to take my novels seriously, and every brother and sister who likes my novels. Later, when my friend introduced me to others and said that Yan Yan was the deputy secretary general of the Anhui Provincial Network Writers Association, I would not have a sense of guilt for wasting my name.

I am a very persistent and entangled person, and even have a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Every time I finish a book, I think about what is wrong with the book and where it can be improved more.

When I opened the Three Kingdoms and chose this period of history, I had already dug a big hole, jumped into it and filled in the soil myself. Since I can't jump out, then I will simply focus on the Three Kingdoms, focus on the hegemony, and use my understanding and pen to interpret a different history!
