Cao Zhenshi and Niu Jin rode back to Tuyin City together, and along the way, Cao Pi's mind was thinking about the appearance of his old horse going crazy, and at the same time imagining what it would be like for 10,000 horses riding Wuhuan people to go crazy? If this is the case, let alone a thousand tigers and leopards to ride, even if he is given five hundred tigers and leopards to ride, he can go straight to the royal court!

So the moment he entered the city, he immediately dismounted and asked Cao Pi for his life: "Brother, please tell me where those limestones are mined, and my brother must go and bring all these things!" ”

Cao Pi said with a smile: "Brother Xian is a person who leads the army to fight, and it is a technical job to open mountains and quarry stones and make lime. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The so-called each performs his own duties, but there is no need for a virtuous brother to handle this matter, I already have a favorite candidate in my heart. ”

Cao Zhen asked, "Is that Zhong Changtong?" ”

Cao Pi laughed: "Exactly." ”

Cao Zhenqi said: "That person doesn't have the slightest reverence for the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, can such gods be used by him?" ”

Cao Pi smiled and said, "Do you think this is a divine object?" ”

Cao Zhen said: "What is it that can build a city and kill enemies at the same time? ”

Cao Pi asked: "But this thing is just a stubborn stone in the mountains if it is not cooked for my brother, who knows what this thing is?" If it were not mixed with water, who would know what it was? ”

Cao Zhen was asked with a blank face: "This ..........."

Cao Pi said with a smile: "It's not so much that this is a sacred object, but that my brother has a little ability to turn stone into gold, this limestone has not been in the mountains for many years, if it doesn't meet me, I'm afraid I have to take it in the mountains for thousands of years." Zidan, remember a sentence for my brother, ghosts and gods are awe-inspiring, but you can't believe it, everything in heaven and earth can be used by us, and there is a trace of doubt about everything to be able to understand more mysteries in the world, although Zhong Changtong is paranoid, but he has doubts about heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, the more such people are, the more he doesn't know, the more he doesn't understand, the more he has to understand the things that he doesn't understand, the more he will find out the magic of them, is that he thinks that his brother intends to let him mine lime, because the magic of this lime is far from knowing these two, If he has doubts in his heart, he will study them diligently, and he will naturally be able to find more wonderful uses. ”

Cao Zhen was surprised: "What other wonderful uses?" ”

Cao Pi laughed: "The wonder of heaven and earth is beyond Zidan's expectations." After saying that, he rode back to the county government, and Niu Jin followed.

The next day, Cao Pi immediately called Tian Chou over, showing that he asked about the whereabouts of the people in Xu Wushan, only to hear Tian Chou say: "Most of the people are willing to return to the Youbei Ping'an family, among which there are six layers of people who are willing to go to the Tuntian camp to do things, all of them are some middle-aged men who drag their families with their mouths, and want to give their families a place to live, and there are thirty percent of the people who are willing to return to the city of Youbeiping, these people are not skilled people, or some traders who go to business, and some Langzhong who sell medicine, and one percent of the people are middle-aged men, they want to join the army, Build a career. ”

"A man in the prime of life? , 10,000 households, not to mention 30,000 or 50,000 people, right? Aren't there thousands of men in the prime of life? Cao Pi was a little surprised by this number, in the troubled times, men in the prime of life are very sought-after, the army wants soldiers, people, squires want labor, and ordinary people want men to farm and have children. It is really surprising that there are so many strong men under Tian Chou's command, and they are also strong men who want to join the army, I don't know how many strong men have decided to go to Tuntian.

Tian Chou replied: "There are a total of 3,867 people who want to join the army. ”

Cao Pi nodded and said: "It's a good thing to want to join the army, but not everyone can join the army, let them go to Gaoshun, choose to stay, and those who are not selected can ask for ten acres of land and five thousand yuan, go to cultivate and settle down, or go to be the people of Tuntian, and then choose when the army is recruited in the coming year, these people can give priority to entering the military tun and learn the art of striking iron, raising horses, and making armor." ”

Tian Chou immediately agreed, and Cao Pi suddenly asked again: "I want to build a thunderbolt, I don't know how many Youbeiping financial resources can build?" ”

"This ...... If you fight in the wilderness, the thunderbolt has little effect, because the cavalry is extremely dexterous, can dodge boulders, and is not weak to build flying stone ropes, and then train soldiers to use them. Tian Chou reminded cautiously.

The thunderbolt is a modified catapult, which was actually improved by the strategists in Cao Jun's camp, and it is said that Liu Ye played a big role in it. However, this kind of thing is not very useful for a wide and large city like Yecheng, with thick and high walls, because before your thundercar can hit the city wall, the thundercar placed behind the wall of Yecheng can also hit your thundercar, and the result is to bombard each other, and finally the thundercar under the city will rot and end up, because the range will inevitably be longer at a high place.

Thunderbolt car may be useful in Youzhou, but there are few people here to defend the city, generally to fight with you outside the city, because the city is basically no danger to defend, such as the city wall in Youzhou is also considered high, not to mention the thunderbolt, is the general rush back and forth a few times can break the city, after all, the water is in the south of the moat, can not attract to do the moat, not to mention the winter when the moat will freeze, not to mention the moat, when the time is more convenient, as long as the round boulder is pushed down from the high ground, slip over the moat and crash on the city wall, can break the city in a few days in a row, because as Tian Chou said, the thunderbolt car is not very useful.

Cao Pi naturally didn't want to reveal his true thoughts, but said: "Let's go and build it, it's good to build ten crosses." ”

Tian Chou immediately agreed, and then said: "Yuzhou Mu, Wuhuan Cliff King Dang Dun, Shan Yulouban sent a messenger to ask to see the state pastor. ”

Cao Pi smiled and said, "The Hu people will actually send envoys? What's going on here? ”

Tian Chou replied, "Present a letter." The people outside the city, who did not know the etiquette, were presented to the following officials, and the messenger was still living in the inn in the city. After speaking, he took out a roll of animal skin from his sleeve, Cao Pi took it and found that there were words written on it, the handwriting was black, and I don't know what to paint it with, the content of the letter was very simple, showing that it depicted the wilderness, desert, and few grasslands in the east of Beiping, saying that it was difficult for a pampered son like Cao Pi to adapt to the harsh wind and sand here, and said in his heart that maybe they could not hold the city in the territory of Liaodong and Liaoxi County, but they could retreat to the outside of the fortress, At that time, the desert outside the Saiwai will not show its majesty to their son Wuhuan people, but it will show it to the outsiders Cao Pi, when the time comes, they don't know that there is wind and sand, and there are hundreds of miles of dry land without water sources, and they Wuhuan people don't have to do anything to let Cao Pi hide back in the Central Plains.

In the end, the letter also said that they took in the Yuan family just to intermarry with the Hu and Han dynasties and learn the culture of the Han Dynasty, and had no other meaning, although the Cao army occupied the right Beiping that originally belonged to them, but they didn't mind, they just hoped that the Cao army would not come to disturb them again, because the climate in the east of the right Beiping was already very bad, and it was even worse outside the pass, and to oppose them Wuhuan people was equivalent to fighting against the heaven and earth in Liaodong, because they were the masters of this land.

After reading the letter, Cao Pi laughed and asked, "Have you ever read this letter, sir?" ”

Tian Chou replied: "The state pastor has not looked at it, how dare the lower officials?" ”

Cao Pi smiled, pulled a roll of bamboo slips casually, then went up from the bamboo slips to the next slice, and then used the carving knife on the side to carve a few lines of words on it, and handed it to Tian Chou together with the animal skin, and said with a smile: "Give this slices to the Wuhuan messenger and let him go back." ”

After Tian Chou took it, he first cut the content of the animal skin, shook his head and smiled, and then cut a look at the slices, and suddenly his face was solemn, and he bowed his hand to Cao Pi, and then left.

Tian Chou had just come out of the main hall, and he happened to meet Zhong Changtong with a tired face, and Zhong Changtong asked, "Brother Zitai, why are you in a hurry?" ”

"The Wuhuan people sent a messenger to send a letter, and the state pastor returned to him, and I went to deliver the letter." After Tian Chou finished speaking, he sighed lightly: "What a momentum!" After speaking, he showed the slices to Zhong Changtong.

There are only a few crosses on it: "The victory or defeat is up to me, and I am used to talking and laughing." Fight, heaven and earth have number. War, defeat I do not exist. (To be continued.) )
