Chapter 233: On the Sword

As the lord of Yanzhou, he has a sword like the Heavenly Sword by his side, do you still need him to send a sword? Cao Pi put the sword on the table, and then said, "Father, this sword is a sword that I specially customized for my friend Zhuge Liang at the Xuzhou Cold Weapon Factory when I was in Pengcheng. I didn't bring a treasure from Pengcheng, but today I dedicated him to my father! ”

Cao Pi knew that no matter how he praised Pengcheng, everyone wouldn't believe it, so it was better to take out something real for them to see! Cao Pi put the sword on the table, Cao Cao wanted to reach out and take it, but when he heard that Cao Pi spent ten taels of silver to customize the sword, Cao Cao put down the raised hand again.

What good sword can you buy for ten taels of silver? What's more, it's actually a customized sword, even if you customize an ordinary sword from an ordinary weapon master and give it to a general, it's not just this price.

Guo Jia looked at Cao Pi, whose face was flushed, and asked, "What does your friend Zhuge Liang do, how can he customize a sword from the weapons factory?" Is he an apprentice in an armory? ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Pi's face turned even redder, and he returned after a while: "My friend Zhuge Liang is very resourceful, and the governor takes him with him when he fights everywhere, and sometimes he asks him questions!" Zhuge Liang was a friend I met when I first arrived in Xuzhou, he was the righteous son of the state pastor, and his brother was the general of Pengcheng, so he was able to enter the cold weapon factory to customize weapons. ”

When Zhuge Liang was mentioned, everyone didn't know, and when it came to the general surnamed Zhuge , everyone reacted, then Zhuge Liang should be the younger brother of Zhuge Jin in Xuzhou!

Seeing that everyone looked down on the sword that Zhuge Liang specially made for himself, Cao Pi suddenly picked up the sword and said: "Mr. Guo also has a sword, can you dare to compete with my sword today?" ”

Everyone has nothing to do, Cao Cao is also extremely happy today, since the death of Cao Ang and Dian Wei, is Cao Cao so happy, Guo Jia agreed to compete with Cao Pi.

Cao Pi said that the study was too narrow, and he was afraid that he would cut the tables and chairs and destroy his father's study, so he had to go outside the house to compete with swords. Cao Cao smiled and said, "If Pi'er can cut off Dad's table, why will Dad's sword compete with you?" ”

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Pi suddenly drew his sword, a cold light flashed, and a short sword slashed from the table in front of Cao Cao. After the sword passed, the table was still the same, and everyone just wanted to laugh, but they didn't want to get close to Cao Cao's expression had already frozen!

Cao Cao moved the table, and his favorite exquisite table cracked in half with a thud, and the ink on the table was scattered on the ground. The paper on the table was also scattered and covered with ink sprinkled on the floor.

This paper is precious, and this is what Tao Ying gave to him. Seeing Cao Cao hurriedly picking up the paper on the ground, Cao Pi smiled and said, "Dad, how is my sword?" Don't pick up the paper on the ground, this paper is yellow and full of wheat straw lumps and uneven, I'll let my dad see what real paper is! ”

Seeing that Cao Pi cut off the table with a sword, Xun Yu and Guo Jia gasped. Guo Jia asked Cao Pi to let him take a look, Cao Pi presented his two-foot short sword with both hands, Guo Jia took the sword and suddenly felt a sinking in his hand, and he really couldn't see that the sword was so heavy although it was short.

The hilt of the two-foot short sword is made of hundred-year-old locust wood, the sword is engraved with a Pi character, there is a Cao in the middle of the short sword, and the blade is carved with a circle of patterns inside, and the production is very delicate and beautiful.

Looking at the blade, the table didn't curl at all. A gust of wind blew, and Guo Jia's long hair blew over, and it was cut in half as soon as it touched the blade of the sword.

"Blowing hair and breaking hair, it's really a good sword!"

Guo Jia couldn't help but praise on the side, Xun Yu pulled out the saber from his waist again, Guo Jia compared swords with him, and under the two swords, Xun Yu's saber was broken in half, but Cao Pi's saber was unharmed!

Cao Cao no longer dared to despise Cao Pi, so he asked people to take the Yitian Sword, Cao Cao shouted two more guards, one holding the Yitian Sword and the other holding Cao Pi's short sword, the two swords slashed hard, and both swords appeared in the first round. The Heavenly Sword is its own sword, sharpening iron like clay!

Cao Cao wanted to know who was better than the sword that was sold for ten taels of silver in Xuzhou, and asked the guards to continue to split, and finally when there was a loud bang, the sword of Yitian and Cao Pi's sword were actually broken at the same time!

"The Heavenly Sword is broken!"

Looking at the Yitian Sword that was cut in half, the people around were stunned. This Heavenly Sword is Cao Cao's most precious sword, known as unparalleled in the world, sharpening iron like clay, unexpectedly, it was broken together with Pengcheng's cheap work of ten taels of silver!

If the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou were equipped with swords made of this refined steel, how amazing would it be? Just ask a soldier with the same combat effectiveness, someone else can cut you in half with a single sword, how can you fight this battle? Someone else's long hair can pierce your shield, and someone else's hook and sickle can easily snap your horse's legs, this kind of equipment is simply outrageous!

Cao Pi thought that Cao Cao was losing his mind because his sword was broken, and Cao Pi couldn't help but persuade him next to him: "Daddy, don't be sad, there are many such swords in Pengcheng, I will write to my good friend Zhuge Liang another day, give him one hundred taels of silver, and let him order a few more in the weapons factory!" ”

Cao Pi didn't care what he said, but he didn't know the meaning of such a sword to Cao Cao. After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao asked Cao Pi to bring the paper from Xuzhou to see, and Cao Pi asked his subordinates to pick it up. Soon the next person reported a stack of papers, Cao Cao took out one and put it in his hand, the paper has become very clean after countless improvements, white paper, very slippery to the touch, put into the baby's skin.

Cao Cao was full of praise for the paper, and over the years, the paper school has made various classifications of paper. Some paper is suitable for painting, some is suitable for calligraphy, and some paper is produced specifically for handwriting to sell to wealthy people.

The paper brought by Cao Pi was used for painting, and the paper for painting was naturally very demanding. Cao Pi even brought a painting made by a Xuzhou painter for everyone to see, looking at a lifelike peony picture, everyone liked it even more.

When Cao Pi stayed in Xudu in Yanzhou for less than a month, Xuzhou sent an envoy to Xudu. The messenger proposed the news of the construction of a commercial bank in Xudu and other places, and then paid taxes to Yanzhou. Originally, Cao Cao's staff disagreed, but when they thought of the iron-like swords and exquisite paper, and even the legendary artillery, everyone couldn't help but want Xuzhou to sell such things to Xudu as soon as possible.

The envoy discussed business matters with Cao Cao and others in Xuchang, and in the Juye Agreement signed, trade matters were clearly stipulated. It's just that at that time, Xuzhou still had something to sell to Yanzhou, and now there are things, so they began to sell directly to Yanzhou, and opened shops in major cities in Yanzhou.
