Cao Peng was stunned!

Training, governing the army?

This thing is a little too profound. That's right, Cao Peng is a traverser, but in his previous life, he was just a criminal policeman, how can he understand these things?

Dian Wei's eyes widened, his face full of anticipation.

And Dian Man's eyes blinked, which made Cao Peng creepy.

I knew that I should have brought Wei Yan over. At least in terms of army management, Wei Yan is definitely a hundred times smarter than Cao Peng. It's a pity that Wei Yan is now in Runan, and it is said that he is very good and has won the trust of Manzhong. It is estimated that it will not be long before the position of a county Sima is indispensable...... "Ah Fu, is there a way?" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Peng stiffened, gritted his teeth, and replied with a forced laugh.

It seems that this is a must...... "But Uncle Dian, the method of training and governing the army is not something that can be figured out at once, let me go back and think about it carefully, how about it?" ”

Dian Wei's chick nodded again and again as if pecking rice, "Then hurry up, time is running out!" ”

This rammed goods, and I know that time is running out?

Cao Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly, I knew this was the case, why did you go in the first place?

Originally, I was going to come over to explain Dian Wei, but I didn't expect to get around myself. Cao Peng was full of worries and said goodbye and left the Huben Mansion.

Dian Wei is also interesting enough, and directly let Dian Man follow him to the largest pharmacy in Xudu. What herbs Cao Peng needs, it is directly on the account of the Tiger Mansion. Cao Peng bought medicine, not because he was sick, but because he felt that his qi and blood had reached a bottleneck recently, and if he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to borrow external help. The old martial artist in his previous life had given him some recipes to refine his muscles and bones and strengthen his qi and blood.

Cao Peng was not polite, directly bought all the herbs, and returned to Wubao.

Training, administering the army...... How do I get started?

After Cao Peng returned to Wubao, he meditated hard, but he couldn't find a clue.

A man sat in the study alone, looking through the books on the table. This is the "Sima Law" translated from Deng Ji's room, and it is also a very popular art of war in the Han and Han dynasties. "The Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu"? It is true that it can be seen everywhere in the afterlife, but in this era, not everyone can have it. Dian Wei has this condition, but unfortunately he has no love for books, and there is no collection of books at home.

It was not easy for Cao Peng to find this Sima Fa.

Looking at the remote and difficult words and sentences on it, Cao Peng was a little confused...... How nice it would be to have a copy of Mende's New Book in your hand? By the way, I don't know if Cao Ying has started to write Meng De's new book now?

In history, Cao Ying once wrote a book of war, but unfortunately it was later destroyed by Zhang Song in a fit of anger.

Now that I have been reborn, do you want to protect this military book?

Cao Peng shook his head suddenly, thinking about how to train and govern the army, how could he think of Meng De's new book? Concentrate, concentrate!

Just when Cao Peng was in trouble, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers from outside the house.

"It's done, it's done!"

Cao Peng was stunned, got up and walked out of the room.

Before he could ask, he saw Wang Maifeng running from the side of the shed, and shouted from a distance: "Ah Fu, uncle is done!" ”

"What has it become?"

"Knife, knife, knife......"

Wang Mai was speechless with excitement, stammered for a long time, and couldn't make it clear.

Fortunately, Cao Peng understood, and grabbed Wang Mai's arm, "You mean, my father succeeded in making a knife?" ”

Wang Mai nodded excitedly, and before he could speak, Cao Peng had already swept past him like the wind and rushed in the direction of the furnace shed.

In the furnace shed, there was thunderous laughter.

Xia Houlan and Zhou Cang were shirtless, shouting and screaming excitedly.

Cao Ji's expression was excited, and his face was distorted. In his hand, he held a four-foot-long sword, and tears glistened with tears in his eyes.

The head knife is a casting method that integrates the knife and stem.

It is four feet three inches long, or ninety-nine centimeters, less than one meter. The handle is about 20 cm long, and the stem is two fingers thick, round and firm. With a black lacquered mahogany handle, it looks very beautiful. Unlike the ordinary Blade, this Blade has a handguard papaya, which can effectively block the flow of blood to the hilt. The papaya has a rounded arc, and the 80-centimeter-long blade is slender and straight.

The edge of the knife presents a slight arc, which can moderately enhance the cutting force.

It is about three fingers wide, and the blade has an eerie dark red color. The edge of the knife, under the light of the fire, circulates a touch of blood, which can shock people's hearts.

There can be a blood groove on both sides of the knife, which can speed up the bloodletting.

On the whole, this sword is a masterpiece at a glance...... On the platform outside the furnace shed, twenty zaza armors were stacked on top of each other, but the top ten zaza became two halves.

"Peng'er, Shiza, Shiza!"

When Cao Ji saw Cao Peng, he rushed over excitedly, shouting and jumping like crazy.

Ten Zai?

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and reached out to take the head knife in Cao Ji's hand.

This head knife can be said to be the condensation of the hard work of Cao Ji and Cao Peng's father and son. From the appearance, casting, and quenching, Cao Peng participated in the whole process.

On the basis of the original head knife, the design of papaya gauntlets and blood grooves was added, which was basically consistent with the characteristics of later steel knives. At the same time, Cao Ji has been tried and tested, and in the first quenching process, the blood of the five animals has been added, and the spirit in the knife has been perfected.

The ancients cast soldiers and emphasized blood sacrifices.

From Ou Yezi to the cadre Mo Ye, there are similar myths and legends.

Therefore, this method of blood sacrifice has penetrated into the bone marrow of craftsmen in this era. Even after obtaining the method of drowning and quenching the five animals, Cao Ji still couldn't help it and wanted to maintain the rules of blood sacrifice. Therefore, in the drowning of the five animals, the blood of the five animals is added, and it is the blood of the five animals. This also makes the created head knife seem to be a little lacking in luster, but it adds a bit of blood.

"This knife can break ten times?"

Zhou Cang said loudly: "That's right, Brother Cao tried it just now, but he can break ten times." ”

The difference between the three and the ten may not sound like much, but in fact, there is a fundamental difference.

Cao Peng held the steel knife, walked to the side of the wooden platform, and swung it out with all his strength. There was a series of clicks, and the armor broke one after another.

"Good knife, really a good knife!"

Cao Peng couldn't help but praised loudly.

"Dad, how many knives did you come out this time?"

Cao Ji waved his hand, and saw Xiahou Lan and a few people from the furnace shed, holding out twelve skulls of the same style.

"If you step up a bit, by June, how much will you be able to deliver?"

Cao Ji said: "At present, there are a total of 40 knife embryos, and if we step up, it is estimated that by June, there will be about 20 more......

Twenty sticks?

A thought suddenly flashed through Cao Peng's mind.

"Thirty-six."

"Huh?"

"Dad, we have to make thirty-six good knives to meet the number of Tiangang."

Cao Ji frowned, and the excitement on his face gradually disappeared. He pondered for a moment and said softly, "Peng'er, I said twenty just now, which is almost the limit. If more...... I'm worried that I won't be able to guarantee the quality of this knife. What are you doing with all this number? ”

Cao Peng laughed, "Dad, I have my own mystery in asking for this."

By the way, these twelve spines need to be engraved with knife inscriptions. I'll write the inscription in a while, and then every knife will need to have it on it...... Xiahou, as soon as the morning dawns, you immediately enter the city and find Dian Zhonglang to come over. Remember to spread the word and ask Dianzhonglang to try the knife. ”

Xia Houlan immediately agreed, happily holding the knife and returning to the furnace shed.

Zhou Cang stood aside, his eyes burning, revealing envy and yearning...... These days, through contact with Zhou Cang, Cao Peng generally knows a little about him. This is also a real person, solid heart, without any twists and turns. He said before that he was unwilling to go to the Tiger Army, which was also from the bottom of his heart. According to Zhou Cang's understanding, the Tiger Ben Army is the centaur of the central guard, and although they can often contact Cao Ying, they rarely have the opportunity to fight. Zhou Cang, on the other hand, is a typical militant.

Not only Zhou Cang, but most of these people who came from Tufu Mountain were like this.

Therefore, Dian Wei recruited Hu Ben, and only about 30 people from Tufu Mountain passed. The rest, some of whom are older, simply look for an errand in the dock fort. Some are willing to follow Zhou Cang, pinch their fingers and calculate, and there are about twenty or thirty people, together with Zhou Cang, waiting for the opportunity.

"Brother Cao......"

"Huh?"

Zhou Cang scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Can I ask you for something?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"If you have time, how about helping me fight a big knife...... I, I, I don't ask for much, if I can break the three times, I will be satisfied. ”

The reason why he said it so twisted was because Zhou Cang knew very well the value of this good knife.

Mo said that he couldn't afford it, and even if he could, there would be nowhere to buy it...... It is foreseeable that if Cao Ji can make these thirty-six knives, then his reputation will ...... It's amazing to think about. At that time, those who wanted to find Cao Ji to make knives were afraid that they would have to line up from Xudu to Luoyang.

How do you know that the Cao family laughed loudly, stepped forward and hugged Zhou Cang's shoulder.

"Old Zhou, what are you talking about? My own brother, either I don't make it, but I want to make a better sword than this. ”

In his words, he exudes a strong sense of confidence.

People are like this, when they achieve nothing, the more they fail, the more they retreat, and the less self-confidence they have; But once successful, this self-confidence is built, and the whole person will have a new look. Looking at Cao Ji at this time, where is there still the cowering when he was in Zhongyang Town?

Cao Peng held a steel knife and couldn't help laughing!

"Brother Cao......"

"Okay, our own brother doesn't speak outside the language." Cao Ji patted Zhou Cang's shoulder, turned his head and shouted, "Let's tidy up the inside first, don't wait until tomorrow, it's a mess." Peng'er, since you want thirty-six, then I will work hard, and I will make it. ”

Cao Peng smiled, looked at the steel knife, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind.

—————————————————————— "Have you heard, Sect Master Cao really made a treasure sword!" ”

"Yes, I've heard that if you put it away, you can cut off all of them...... It is said that even the adults in the waiter knew about it, and ran to the tiger mansion early in the morning to ask for a knife test. ”

"Not only is it a test knife, but the Lord Shizhong also specially asked Grandmaster Cao to make a knife for him."

The news of Cao Ji's knife making seemed to have grown wings, and it spread all over the streets and alleys of Xudu in a while.

For a time, the name of Grandmaster Cao was known to passers-by. If you ask, 'Grandmaster Cao', who is it? It is estimated that the people around you will look at you with disdain, like this, like this, after foaming at the mouth, they will give you a big eyeball.

Cao Ji is really famous!

Although the knife he made has not yet appeared in front of the world, it has begun to be fried in the market.

I don't know who started it, declaring that if anyone can get a treasure knife made by Cao Ji for him, he is willing to exchange it for thousands of gold.

"Thousand Yi gold? This guy is crazy! ”

"Crazy?" Someone on the side immediately said: "If you can exchange a thousand Yi gold for a Tiangang knife, I will give you two thousand Yi." ”

"Tiangang Knife?"

"Don't you understand...... Hehe, it is said that Sect Master Cao made a knife this time, which corresponds to the heavens and the earth. Thirty-six Tiangang knives, each bite corresponds to one of the thirty-six stars of Tiangang. This kind of knife not only sharpens iron like clay, but also has the power of the stars, and the power is infinite.

If it weren't for the Tiangang Thirty-Six Star Monarch coming into the world, who would be able to use it? ”

"Is there such a thing?"

As soon as the questioner spoke, an old man with a bright head stood up next to him and spoke: "You are really ...... Lord Shichu also took a fancy to one of them, and as a result, he wanted to try it, and almost hurt himself. The knife has a spiritual surname. ”

"Yes, yes, I heard that Lord Shizhong also specially invited Grandmaster Cao's son-in-law to drink, and he is willing to ask for a knife with ten thousand gold."

The questioner immediately grinned and was dumbfounded......—————————————————————————————— "Uncle grandson, when did I ask you for a knife?" ”

On the way to Wubao, Xun Yu couldn't help but joke about Deng Ji.

These exchanges made Xun Yu's good impression of Deng Ji increase sharply...... Along the way, he couldn't help but quip: "I just drank your drink, but it became like this." Uncle and grandson, you have to compensate me well, why don't you let Lingzhang make a knife for me? ”

"Wen Ruo, don't even think about it."

Without waiting for Deng Ji to answer, he listened to Dian Wei speak first.

"If you want to make a knife, make it for me first."

Xun Yuqi said: "Aren't the thirty-six Tiangang knives made by Grandmaster Cao yours?" ”

Dian Wei shook his head with a wry smile, "I thought so at first, but ...... I couldn't get any of those knives, and I put a lot of material on them for nothing. ”

"Anyway, those knives of yours are really made of Qiwu in the Western Regions?"

"Of course!"

Xun Yu stared at Dian Wei, and suddenly laughed, "Junming, do you know that when you lie, there is an obvious flaw?" ”

"Huh?"

"Every time you lie, you don't dare to look up and look at someone."

Dian Wei hurriedly raised his head, his eyes widened, "Wen Ruo, where do I dare not look at each other?" ”

Deng Ji couldn't help but laugh, pointed at Dian Wei and said, "Dian Zhonglang, you have become Wen Ruo's ...... again."

Dian Wei looked at Deng Ji and then at Xun Yu, but he didn't understand what was going on for a long time. His naïve appearance caused Xun Yu and Deng Ji to laugh again.

When the three of them came to the gate of Wubao, they saw Zhang and Cao Nan, who were about to go out.

Calculating the calculation, Cao Nan is six months pregnant, her belly is high and bulging, and the whole person looks fatter than when she was in Thorn Yang.

Cao Peng was full, Wang bought Deng Fan and each rode a horse, and Deng Juye sat on the car and had already set up the chariot.

"Uncle grandson, why did you come back?"

When Zhang saw Deng Ji, he couldn't help but call.

Then, he bowed to Dian Wei, glanced at Xun Yu again, and was slightly blessed.

"Mother, you are going to ...... this"

Due to Dian Wei's formation of Hu Ben, Deng Ji spent most of his time in Xu Capital City to assist Dian Wei.

After all, with the experience of Nine Women's City, Deng Ji is also very clear about the affairs of the army. Anyway, he is mainly responsible for clerical work and other work, so he is also familiar with it.

Zhang reproached: "You stayed in the city all day and didn't go home." Anan doesn't see your heart...... She was a little unwell, so I took her to the city to see a doctor. Seeing that you are about to give birth, you are a father, you are not in a hurry at all......"

In a word, Deng Ji's face was flushed, and he looked at Cao Nan guiltily.

And Cao Nan smiled gently, "Mother, isn't my uncle busy with official business, don't blame him!" Besides, there are people at home to take care of, and the Hong family's aunt is also very dedicated. Mother, are you annoyed with your daughter? If this is the case, the daughter will never dare to trouble her mother in the future. ”

Zhang was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Hugh is talking nonsense, Hugh is talking nonsense." ”

"Otherwise, I'll go with you."

Deng Ji stepped forward and whispered to Cao Nan.

Cao Nan's face flushed, "It's just a woman's fault, what are you going to do?" There are distinguished guests here, you can accompany Dian Zhonglang and talk to the guests.

With Niang and Ah Fu following them, nothing will happen.

But you, who have lost a lot of weight...... If you don't have anything to do in the evening, eat at home. If you want to eat, just talk to the aunt of the Hong family. ”

Deng Ji nodded slightly.

"Ah Fu, are you going out too?"

Dian Wei asked loudly.

Cao Peng scratched his head, "I happened to go into the city for some business, so I went over with my mother and sister." ”

"Then the thing I asked you to do......"

"Well, it's done, it's on the case in my study. Brother-in-law, you can bring Dian Zhonglang over when the time comes, let's go first! ”

As he spoke, Cao Peng glanced at Xun Yu.

This person's bearing is really sufficient...... Cao Peng didn't know Xun Yu, mainly because he didn't go out much, and Xun Yu had never been to Wubao, so neither of them had seen him.

As everyone knows, when Cao Peng looked at Xun Yu, Xun Yu was also looking at Cao Peng.

I have heard Deng Ji say more than once that he has a wife and brother who are extremely intelligent and talented. Presumably this young man is the wife and brother of his uncle and grandson? Judging by its appearance, it is not bad. Well, the bearing is calm, there is no cowering of a poor boy, and there is no exaggeration of the children of the family. The uncle and grandson's family is really not bad. The father-in-law is a grandmaster, and his wife is also considerate and gentle, even this wife and brother are not ordinary.

Such a family will have a great future in the future.

Cao Peng bowed slightly to Xun Yu on the horse, and then bowed his hand.

Xun Yu also smiled at Cao Peng unexpectedly, and arched his hand...... "Ah Fu, you are really not simple!" Dianman couldn't help but whisper.

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, "What's not simple?" ”

"Wen Ruogong is rarely so kind to people. Usually when I see him, I don't smile, but today I actually laughed because of your salute, and even returned the courtesy. ”

"Wen Ruo?" Cao Peng felt that this name sounded familiar.

"Is he powerful?"

"In the waiting, Shang Shuling...... When the lord was not in Xudu, he presided over internal and external affairs. Even my dad has to respect him a little. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but look back.

At this time, Xun Yu had already walked into the dock fort with Dian Wei Deng Ji.

"Waiting? What's his name? ”

Dianman was surprised and asked, "Ah Fu, don't you know who he is?" ”

"Nonsense, I came to Xudu, and I spent most of my time in Wubao, how can I recognize many people?"

Dian Man said: "He is Shangshu Ling Xun Yu Xun Wenruo...... If you haven't heard of his name, you should have heard of the name of the Eight Dragons of the Yingchuan Xun Clan.

He is one of the Eight Dragons! ”

That person is Xun Yu?

Rao is Cao Peng is extremely strong in his heart, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Dianman's words.
