Cao Shuo's tent.

He was looking down and concentrating on drawing drawings, and Guo Jia sat on the side, tilting his head to look at the drawings he had drawn.

"Childe can do it himself, why do you want me to come?" Guo Jia asked.

"I asked Guo Gong for help, mainly to give it a nice name." Cao Shuo grinned: "Isn't the name of the catapult too ugly?" ”

"Childe has always had a plan to do things." Guo Jia shook his head with a smile: "I'm afraid that this kind of thing, I don't need to choose a name at all." ”

"How is that possible?" Cao Shuo said solemnly: "If it weren't for such an important thing as choosing a name, how dare I ask my father to promise to let Guo Gong help me?" ”

Guo Jia nodded, but did not name such a weapon, but asked Cao Shuo: "Childe thinks this kind of thing can break through the enemy's arrow tower?" ”

"As long as it is made, it will definitely work." Cao Shuo finished painting the last two strokes and looked at the patterns on the silk with satisfaction.

"What kind of name is Childe going to give it?" Guo Jia asked suddenly.

"Thunderbolt." Just looking at the pattern, Cao Shuo blurted out.

Guo Jia's face was full of smiles: "I knew ......"

Cao Shuo was stunned.

He originally wanted Guo Jia to name this new weapon, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to actually change steps with him, and suddenly asked while he was unprepared.

I had long known that there would be a weapon called "Thunderbolt" on the battlefield of Guandu, and Cao Shuo blurted out without thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, he fell for Guo Jia.

Looking at Guo Jia with black lines, Cao Shuo said: "Guo Gong, you are too bad......

"If you want to say bad, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can compare to Gongzi." Guo Jia smiled slightly and asked Cao Shuo, "What did the son call me for?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing." Cao Shuo said: "I just want to ask Guo Gong, how has the elixir been refined recently?" ”

"Since Gongzi asked Zuo Ci to give me a recipe, most of the elixirs have been refined according to that recipe." Guo Jia said: "Recently, I have really felt that I am light and healthy, which is indeed a rare prescription. ”

Cao Shuo muttered in his heart, if he didn't eat the elixir, his body would probably be better.

Guo Jia was obsessed with medicine stones, and Cao Shuo couldn't talk about him to his face, after all, even Cao Cao wouldn't dissuade him in this matter.

"I recently got another person." Cao Shuo grinned: "I wonder if Guo Gong has heard of Taiji?" ”

"Yu Ji?" Guo Jia was stunned: "Is it Yu Ji who healed the plague in Wujun in Jiangdong?" ”

"It turns out that Guo Gong also knows about this." Cao Shuo smiled and said: "Sun Ce wanted to kill him, I asked people to save him, and now he is in Shouchun." ”

Guo Jia has reached the point of obsession with alchemy.

Yu Ji saved the people of the city in Wu County, and he has long admired him.

Hearing that Yu Ji was in Shouchun, Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Son, when the war is over, I want to go to Shouchun......"

"When Guo Gong goes, I welcome it." Cao Shuo said: "It's just this battle, I don't know how long it will last." ”

"Childe is also feeling anxious?" Guo Jia asked.

"Anxiety doesn't count." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that our army has attacked many times, but it has never been effective, which is really a bit boring. ”

"Cao Gong has been like this recently." Guo Jia said: "Gongzi and Cao Gong are the backbone of the soldiers of the three armies, but they must not be suspicious of the war. ”

"To tell you the truth, after so many years of fighting, I have never had the same doubts about the future as I do today." Cao Shuo said: "The enemy army has a large number of troops and sufficient food and grass, but our army has few soldiers and a shortage of food. ”

"When Gong Cao and Gongzi were upset, how could Yuan Shao be better?" Guo Jia said: "Yuan soldiers and horses have a lot of horses, but they can't even cross the Yellow River, if you change to a son, what will you think?" ”

"I found that Guo Gong is really good at solving people." Cao Shuo smiled: "I wonder if my father has been dismissed?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "Gong Cao has been thinking heavily recently, I'm afraid only Gong Xun can solve it." ”

"Wen Ruogong?" Of course, Cao Shuo knew that the Xun Gong he was talking about was Xun Yu.

"Xun Gong and Cao Gong are close friends, and I and the drama Zhicai of the year were recommended by him to Cao Gong." Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong has great trust in him, if he can open his mouth to persuade him, Cao Gong will definitely be convinced." It's a pity that Xun Gong is now in Xudu, and he won't be able to come to Guandu for a while. ”

"My father and I were suspicious of the war, let alone the soldiers." Cao Shuo said: "It seems that a victory is really needed to boost the morale of the soldiers. ”

"Childe is right." Guo Jia said: "The Cao family needs a victory too much. ”

"Someone!" Cao Shuo shouted outside the tent.

Cai Ji entered the tent.

Handing the pattern in his hand to Cai Ji, Cao Shuo instructed: "Find some carpenters, let them build according to the pattern, and I have marked all the details." ”

Taking the pattern with both hands, Cai Ji bowed and withdrew.

Cao Shuo stood up and said to Guo Jia: "Guo Gong, we should also go out to see how the enemy's arrow tower is built." ”

Leaving the tent, he returned to the place where he had asked to see Cao Cao earlier.

Cao Cao is no longer here.

Cao Shuo and Guo Jia stood side by side, looking at the arrow tower built by Yuan Jun in the distance.

Yuan Jun on the dirt slope kept firing arrows at Cao's army.

Cao Jun archers will also fight back.

From top to bottom and bottom up, the distance at which an arrow flies is very different.

Most of the arrows fired by Yuan Jun could fall next to Cao Jun, but the feather arrows shot by Cao Jun could only reach half of the soil slope.

"If the arrow tower is built, our army will be even more passive." Guo Jia said: "The enemy army is from above, and it can overlook our army, and arrows can also be shot behind the walls of our army. ”

"It takes time to build a thunderbolt." Cao Shuo said: "In order to improve the accuracy, I improved the moment of the thunderbolt, so that the projection distance is very particular. If the distance is too close, it is likely to hit our own high wall, and if the distance is too far, it will not be able to hit the enemy. ”

"In other words, whether the Thunderbolt can work or not, not necessarily?" Guo Jia asked in amazement.

"It may be difficult to say to others, but with me, then it will definitely be fine." Cao Shuo stretched out his arm, and the thumb and index finger of his right hand were in a figure-eight shape and turned sideways towards Yuan Jun's dirt slope.

"What is Childe doing?" Guo Jia asked in amazement.

"Measure the distance." Cao Shuo replied: "A triangle is formed between the thumb and index finger, and the target is used as another point outside the triangle, and if you make a pattern, it is a cone." Through this cone-shaped three-dimensional layer, the distance can be accurately determined. With accurate distance data, the Thunderbolt is just a hit at the enemy. ”

There are some terms Cao Shuo said, and Guo Jia has never heard of them.

With a surprised face, he asked Cao Shuo, "Where did Childe learn this?" ”
