Chapter 103: Blessings and Misfortunes
Xu Chu was anxious...... If the Tiger Ben Army won this battle disastrously, Xu Chu might be able to endure it. After all, the coordinated combat capabilities displayed by the Tiger Guards are far beyond the Tiger Guards. Xu Chu lost, and he was convinced. But in this battle, he lost too badly, so miserable that he couldn't accept it.
Although it is not the total annihilation, what is the difference between the total annihilation and the total annihilation?
If it weren't for Cao Ying ordering Mingjin to end the battle, then in the end, Xu Chu wouldn't have imagined the ending.
It is precisely because of what can be imagined that Xu Chu is even more embarrassed. is also a few figures in Cao's camp, and the Tiger Guards are also the elite troops of Cao's army. was killed by someone like this, and he didn't have the power to fight back at all, how could Xu Chu not be angry...... This battle has lost all his face! Therefore, Xu Chu must find a way to get back to the field.
"Zixiao, Zihe, stop Zhongkang!"
As soon as Cao Ren and Cao Chun ascended the main building, they heard Cao Ying shouting loudly.
The two immediately turned around and ran down from the watchtower, and at the same time, Cao Zhen and the others rode out and set up a barrier in the middle of the school field.
"Uncle, go back quickly!"
Xu Chu roared like crazy: "Dian Wei, dare to fight with me? ”
As for Dian Wei's temper, he has always taken the initiative to challenge, how can he stand others challenging him?
Without saying a word, he urged the horse to move forward, "Get out of the way...... Xu Chu, Dian will fight with you, let you say today, convinced! ”
Dianman rushed over and stopped Dianwei's mount at once.
"Father, don't go over!"
And Xu Yi also came to Xu Chu, turned over and dismounted, and grabbed the reins of Xu Chu's horse.
"Aman, get out of the way for me...... Isn't it just fighting? I dare to fight even Lu Bu, but a stupid tiger? Xu Zhongkang, come here. ”
Xu Chu was so angry that he shouted, "Dian Wei, don't be complacent, I will fight with you today." ”
For a while, there was chaos in the school field.
Cao Ying didn't care about greeting Cao Ji, so Dong Zhao was responsible for receiving Cao Ji, and he hurriedly ran down the watchtower.
Cao Ji stood in the watchtower, it was not good to go, and it was not good to stay...... He didn't expect such a thing to happen, which made him very embarrassed.
Dong Zhao also shook his head and smiled helplessly!
Dian Wei, the tiger general of the world; Xu Chu, known as the tiger idiot...... Cao Ying asked the two of them to fight each other in order to balance the strength of the Su Guard. It's just that he didn't expect that Dian Wei would win so beautiful today!
Dian Wei and Xu Chu, no one can be hurt.
Both of these are the kind of people who go crazy when they fight.
One has gone berserk, and the other is the master who ignites the fire. If there is a real fight, the result will inevitably be a lose-lose situation.
Cao Ying can't sit back and watch the situation of these two tigers fighting.
At this time, all the generals on the watchtower rushed down one after another, separating Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
Cao Hong rubbed his cheeks and suddenly laughed.
"Let's go, I can't fight."
"Uncle, won't you go and stop them?"
"What are you stopping, Xu Chu is not a fool...... Do you think he really wants to duel with Dian Wei? It's just a matter of getting yourself a step. Not to mention anything else, if you really fight, Dian Wei has the advantage of saddle stirrups. If the two of them used to be half a pound and eight taels in the past, now ......"
Cao Hong smiled and shook his head.
No wonder this guy is not likable in Cao Ying.
Too sober, too calm...... At this time, Cao Peng felt that Cao Hong's calmness was very annoying. Even if you know they can't fight, at least make a show and rush out to stop it. Can't others see it? Are you so smart?
Cao Hong glanced at Cao Peng and suddenly said, "I know, many people don't like me."
But so what? The Lord will trust me...... I can fight, I can lead troops, and I can't form gangs. The lord said that Jun Ming is a solitary star, but in fact, I am a solitary star. Ah Fu, sometimes you can't help yourself, and you will be disgusted by others, but you must have the ability to do it. ”
Cao Peng was stunned and looked at Cao Hong.
I saw him swaying downstairs, and the back gave people a different kind of gloom.
Perhaps, just like Cao Hong said: he is the real Sky Lone Star! And in history, Cao Hong has indeed done this.
Even if Cao Pi wants to move him, someone will stand up and speak for him.
In the Cao clan, it seems that Cao Hong is the only one who has a long life and can die well...... Actually, he saw it very clearly.
The so-called greed, the so-called stinginess, is just a layer of disguise in Cao Ying. What is it called? Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, Xiao He has to accumulate wealth and defile himself, not to mention Cao Hong? After all, his brother is notoriously suspicious and suspicious in history...... Cao Peng sighed and walked down from the watchtower with Cao Hong.
Cao Ying rushed to the center of the school field, without saying a word, raised the horsewhip and slapped it on Dian Wei, and then hit Xu Chu with another whip.
"Do you two still want to fight? Let's try it with me first. ”
Dian Wei rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and Putong knelt in front of Cao Ying's horse.
And Xu Chu seemed to be awake at this time, turned over and dismounted, and knelt side by side with Dian Wei.
"Xu Chu was angry for a while, and the ghost was confused, please punish the lord."
"Dian Wei shouldn't get carried away...... In fact, I have no holiday with Zhongkang, but I can't swallow this breath, and the lord must not be angry. ”
Cao Ying glared at the two of them viciously, looked at Xu Chu, and then looked at Dian Wei.
"Zihe!"
"The Last General ......"
"Put these two bastards in jail. Remember, keep them in a cell and fight if they want to. ”
"Lord, the last general is wrong!"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were panicked, and the generals on the side also came up to plead.
It's a pity that Cao Ying seems to have made up his mind.
"Let's go to prison first and figure out what went wrong. Figured it out, come see me again. ”
After speaking, Cao Ying left with a huffing horse. Cao Chun smiled bitterly: This offending thing still has to be done by me in the end...... "Junming, Zhongkang, offended!" ”
Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed Cao Chun dejectedly.
The generals followed Cao Ying and left the school grounds.
Dian Man and Xu Yi, you look at me, I look at you, their faces are embarrassed, and they don't know what to do.
"Don't worry, the lord has no intention of punishing the two generals. It's just that...... It's good to let them calm down, and after they calm down, the lord will let them go back. ”
"But...... The two of them won't fight. ”
Xu Yi couldn't help but ask worriedly.
You must know that the posture of Dian Wei and Xu Chu just now is clearly different from Dai Tian's hatred. This locked the two of them in one room, and if that sentence was wrong, there would be a vicious fight. Xu Yi was even worried, if these two people fought, would the cell be useful?
"No, it won't!" Dianman didn't think anything of it. But when Xu Yi said this, he also began to worry.
"Or lock them up? Lock it up, won't they be able to fight? ”
Cao Zhen was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
Roughly, he can understand Xu Chu's intentions. Xu Chu wants to find a step down, but Dian Wei can't give in...... So Cao Ying appeared! So the two of them were whipped one by one! As a result, this step is also there, and it is naturally impossible to fight again.
What kind of son is this!
Xu Yi is better, Dian Man actually came up with a bad trick to lock up his father.
"No, I'd better go over and take a look, otherwise I won't worry."
"I'll go too!"
Dian Man and Xu Yi didn't say a word, they got on the horse and left.
Cao Peng came over at this time and looked at the background of the two of them.
He suddenly laughed and said, "It's not that the enemies don't get together!" ”
Cao Zhen was stunned, and immediately understood what Cao Peng meant.
That's right, Dian Wei and Xu Chu are two enemies; Looking at this posture, in the future, Xu Yi and Dianman will be in a similar situation to their father.
"Let's go...... I invite you to drink. ”
Cao Peng shook his head, "Forget it, I still have to wait for my father." ”
"What about everyone Cao?"
"Just now let Zhou Cang tell me that it was Gong Cao who invited him to a banquet. You know, my dad hasn't seen a big scene, so I'll have to go over and keep an eye on it. ”
Cao Zhen nodded, "Since that's the case, then I'll go first." ”
At this time, Xia Houlan and Zhou Cang led the horses over.
"Childe, where are we going?"
Cao Peng said: "Tiger Ben Mansion, let's go over and wait first." ”
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the competition at the Xiyuan school field, it ended with a complete victory for the Tiger Army.
The battle was unexpected, and the Tiger Army won almost with a sweeping momentum. For a while, Dian Wei's name became extremely loud.
With the fame of the Tiger Army, Cao Ji's family gradually surfaced.
In Cao's Mansion, Cao Ji admitted that he was not a hidden ink man, and Cao Ji did not blame him. Instead of blaming, he also praised Cao Ji fiercely, thinking that Cao Ji was open-minded, could not say anything to others, and was a sincere gentleman. After learning that Cao Ji did not have a word, he happily gave Cao Ji a table word: Junshi. Jun has far-reaching meanings, and is often a metaphor for people's noble character.
The iron came from the stone, and responded to Cao Ji's identity.
Cao Ying asked: "How did Jun Shi think of the two treasures in the horse?" ”
Erbao refers to the saddle and stirrups.
Cao Ji hesitated for a moment, and replied softly: "Back to Cao Gong, it is not two treasures, but three treasures." ”
Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Please Cao Gongqian Tiger Ben mount, the grass people are willing to explain the Three Treasures in detail."
So, Cao Ying immediately ordered someone to go to the Tiger Ben army and came with a horse.
Cao Ji asked the horse's hooves to be lifted, revealing a round horse iron, "Cao Gong, when the war horse gallops, the horse's hooves are often damaged because the road is uneven or because of excessive force. Once damaged, it is not easy to recover it...... To tell the truth, the three treasures of this horse are still made by my son.
He wasn't very good at riding, so he often felt uncomfortable. Once I saw the bridge on the thorny river, I had an idea and told the grass people. It was also because of this idea that the grass people made Takahashi Saddle. Children are small and weak, so it is always a little inconvenient to get on the horse. He said to me, wouldn't it be more convenient if there was something to hold on? For this reason, a shape was also designed, which is the stirrup that Cao Gong sees now. As for this horseshoe, it was also a reminder to the grass people that they had such an idea. ”
When Cao Ying heard this, he became more and more interested.
"Ling Gongzi, but Cao Peng?"
"Exactly!"
Cao Ying smiled, "Now in this Xu Capital, Ling Gongzi can be regarded as a celebrity."
The first Jinlan knot, the book Jinlan spectrum, the name of the little eight meanings, who doesn't know? Unexpectedly, this little doll actually had a whimsy. ”
"Pediatric...... That's all nonsense! ”
Cao Ying laughed, took Cao Ji's hand, and returned to the hall.
"Junshi, there is a big chaos today, and the dynasty is sluggish. A certain wants to prosper the Han family, but there is no one to help. Junshi has this skill, is he willing to serve the imperial court? ”
Cao Ji hurriedly crawled to the ground, "Dare not to die for Cao Gong?" ”
Cao Ying was very happy with Cao Ji's attitude and nodded again and again.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly turned his head and asked Dong Zhao: "Gongren, I remember that Ziyang told him before that there is currently a shortage of supervisors in Zhuye Prison, right?" ”
Ziyang, named Liu Ye, is a descendant of King Fuling, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and a relative of the Han family.
Now in Sikong Mansion, Xi is Sikong Cang Cao Peng, although he is not a Shaofu, but he does the things of Shaofu, and is in charge of agriculture, mulberry, iron, salt, animal husbandry, and money...... Dong Zhao nodded and said: "What the lord said is true, Ziyang has mentioned this matter, but there is no suitable candidate so far." ”
Zhuye Supervisor, holding gold and iron weapons casting.
There is one supervisor and one supervisor. There are still four supervisors under his rule, one recorder, one government, two historians, two wardens, and four Zhanggu.
It doesn't sound like there are many people.
But in fact, except for the prison orders and the prison officials, the rest are all officials.
Under the rule of Zhuye, in addition to these people, there are many industrial officials.
That is, it is not in the product order, has a certain amount of power, but at the same time has its own industry. For example, some workers can open their own iron-smelting workshops. On the one hand, they can sell to the outside world, and at the same time, they are also responsible for supplying the imperial court. In other words, it is similar to the surname of officials and merchants. These people have no wages and are not required to perform forced labor. It is regarded as a supply enterprise designated by the imperial court.
Of course, the business ...... Seems a bit exaggerated!
The official position of the supervisor is not large, and the rank is not high.
But it has a lot of power.
On the one hand, he controls all the goods provided by the workers under his rule. If the order is not passed, then the engineer will not be able to receive the money.
If the engineer fails to supply the goods on time, he will be disqualified as a worker and will also be punished by fines and other punishments.
Cao Ying asked, "Is Junshi willing to give in?" ”
Cao Ji now has some understanding of the situation in the imperial court.
Especially when Cao Peng designed for him to enter the Zhuye Prison, Cao Ji also inquired a lot about the Zhuye Prison from Deng Ji.
Hearing that Cao Ying asked him to be a supervisor, Cao Ji was stunned!
According to his ideas, he was satisfied to be an overseer, that is, a foreman.
I didn't think about it, but I actually ...... This is equivalent to a common man who wants to become a civil servant, and suddenly becomes a cadre at the department level, and he is also a real power faction. This huge gap made Cao Ji unable to react at once, and after a long time, he replied with a trembling voice: "Cao Ji is willing to go." ”
Unwilling to go, that's a fool.
Cao Ji hardly knew how he left the Cao Mansion.
Outside the gate of Cao's Mansion, he was a little sluggish, and his mind was still blank.
Fortunately, Cao Peng and the others rested in the Huben Mansion, and Zhou Cang and Xiahou Lan also paid attention to the movements in the Cao Mansion.
Seeing Cao Ji walking out of Cao's Mansion alone in a daze, Zhou Cang hurriedly went over and took Cao Ji back to Huben's Mansion...... "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
Cao Peng saw Cao Ji's dejected appearance, and couldn't help but ask.
Cao Ji swallowed his saliva and said softly: "Peng'er, my father is an official!" ”
"Huh?"
"Cao Gong said that he wanted me to serve as the supervisor of Zhuye."
"What?"
Cao Peng was also taken aback, and some couldn't turn around.
He originally planned to let Cao Ji start with the supervision first. It's also a grassroots clerk...... After being familiar with the situation of the metallurgical supervisors, they will try to be promoted. After all, Cao Ji has never been an official, and although the position of the superintendent of Zhuye is not high, it is a very important position. All of a sudden, Cao Ji was not familiar with the situation, if something went wrong, wouldn't he be happy and sad?
How do you know...... "Dad, what else did Cao Gong say?" ”
"Cao Gong said that in a few days, someone will send the file of Zhuye Supervisor, and after getting acquainted with it, he will go to Xingyang River to take up a job in a workshop before the year."
"River One Workshop?"
Cao Peng began to have a headache.
Heyi Workshop is also another name of Zhuye Supervisor.
The iron smelting site of the Han Dynasty is located in Guxing Town, which is located in the later generations, and is about 20 kilometers away from Zhengzhou City, the capital of Henan Province, and belongs to Huiji District.
It is said that this river workshop was built in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The whole workshop is more than 400 meters long from north to south and more than 300 meters wide from east to west, with a total area of more than 120,000 square meters. There are two large iron-making furnaces, 12 wells, more than 30 quenching pools, and 13 baking furnaces...... It is the largest iron-smelting workshop in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Since the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was in Luoyang, the Zhuye Prison was set up in Xingyang.
After the Yellow Turban Uprising, this workshop, which supplied almost four percent of the weapons of the Han Dynasty, was abandoned. It was not until Cao Ying moved the capital to Xu County that it was reopened. From Xuxian to Xingyang, it is only a hundred miles away. Riding a fast horse, you can go back and forth in a day, and the distance is not too far.
"Peng'er, dad is an official!"
Cao Ji suddenly went crazy and looked up to the sky and laughed.
Cao Peng hurriedly stepped forward, took care of Cao Ji, and yelled, "Daddy, wake up!" ”
Sometimes, unexpected surprises can confuse people's minds. The most obvious example is Fan Jinzhongju in the later history of Confucianism. At this time, Cao Ji's situation was quite similar to Fan Jin in Zhongju. Cao Peng hurriedly stepped forward and woke up Cao Ji...... "Daddy, it may not be a good thing for you to serve as the supervisor of the smelting supervisors now. ”
Cao Ji sobered up a lot, looked at Cao Peng in surprise and said, "Peng'er, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Do you know the situation of the Zhuye Supervisor?"
"My uncle and grandson have talked to me about it before, and they can be regarded as knowing."
"Know?" Cao Peng sneered, "Dad, you know what Zhuye Supervisor does, but do you know the process of Zhu Ye Supervisor?" Zhuye was in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the three states of Cao Gong. What kind of weapon is considered qualified? What kind of weapon is not qualified? Do you know this standard? Also, there are hundreds of workers in the three states, those workers have a background, and which ones don't have a background, do you know?
The Heyi workshop itself is also responsible for supplying weapons.
How many knives are made per year? How many spears are made? How many bows and arrows do you make? How much armor do you make? Have you ever learned? And under the eunuchs, there are still superintendents who do and record things...... How do you use these people? How to make a plan each year, what to build first, what to build later, can you arrange it properly? ”
"This ......"
When Cao Ji heard this, he immediately panicked.
"Dad, I originally wanted you to start as a prisoner, familiarize yourself with the situation inside, and then plan for the future.
But now it seems...... Dad, let's go back immediately and discuss this matter with my brother-in-law. In fact, we are not afraid of anything in terms of skills. can be an official, but you can't have good skills. You have to have the means, and you have to have the scheming...... No, it's imperative to find you a helper first. ”
As he spoke, Cao Peng felt more and more serious, and he was a little messy!
He got up and said, "Xiahou, Zhou Cang, hurry up and prepare the horses, let's rush back to Wubao immediately." ”
