Chapter 8: Pathetic Adults

Two days have passed since the conversation with Chen Gong.

Bai Tu was eating a hare with Lu Lingqi at this time, Lu Lingqi looked at Bai Tu's eyes, and became more and more unkind, as if it was Bai Tu himself who was biting the rabbit leg......

"You're not really kidding me, are you?" Lu Lingqi looked at Bai Tu with some suspicion.

"Lingqi, why do you think that? Don't you know who I am? Bai Tu hurriedly looked at Lu Lingqi sincerely.

Seeing this, Lu Lingqi said firmly: "That's right, you are definitely really mentally retarded!" ”

"No, no, no, no matter how you say it, it's not to the level of mental retardation......" Bai Tu still wanted to correct it.

However, Lu Lingqi had already continued: "I don't know what my father and Uncle Wen Yuan think? Recently, I have been getting more and more nervous...... Actually honey roast rabbit? ”

Bai Tu smiled again - to be honest, the sweet barbecue, Bai Tu really didn't think it was delicious.

However, here, honey is already considered a treasure, after all, the process of boiling cane sugar has not yet appeared at this time, and the production method of rock sugar is only mastered by the people of the Western Regions......

Bai Tu has also discovered that although the so-called "Cheng Ji" can make a war horse like a black technology motorcycle, a mecha general's suit, a cool and mysterious official seal, and even a group of artificial people, it is ...... But you can't make something out of nothing!

When you have the training technology of war horses, you can directly "build" a war horse like black technology, but without pepper planting technology and seeds, you can't think of getting a single pepper in this life.

In the same way, Bai Tu found that many of the official documents passed on by Lu Bujun are still mixed with bamboo slips and cloth, and paper is rarely used - which is very different from their black technology painting style.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was already papermaking, but the process was too poor, it could only be used for packaging and could not be written, and after Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper began to have a writing function, but because of the high cost and quality reasons, it did not replace bamboo slips and popularized.

And because Cai Lun was named the Marquis of Longting, papermaking was relatively developed in the Central Plains, as well as in Hanzhong and Sichuan near Cai Lun's fiefdom - in terms of the principle of this world, it is the city of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yizhou, which lit up the proportion of "papermaking" technology.

Lu Bujun, who was born in the annexation of the state and annexed some of the Liangzhou soldiers, rarely used paper.

As for the paper really becoming the mainstream writing carrier, it was also a matter of several decades later - during the Wei and Jin dynasties, cheaper and more suitable papermaking raw materials began to be discovered and used, and the technology was completed in the Tang Dynasty......

Bai Tu remembered that he had written relevant papers, and he was trying to recall them as much as possible.

If he could popularize paper and printing in his own hands, Bai Tu felt that even if he could not become holy on the ground, at least he would be able to have no worries about food and clothing, and he would be able to lie down and enjoy a reputation for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Bai Tu was a little irritable - he remembered that a few days ago, after talking to Chen Gongyi, the other party asked what Lu Bujun should do in the future.

This is obviously beyond the scope of Bai Tu's ability, so he has to deal with a few sentences such as "sit back and wait for the day".

Then Chen Gong asked again, what ambitions Bai Tu had......

This is more than the previous question, asking the white picture!

What ambition can I have as an unemployed person who has been writing papers for a long time and has just returned to the shore? Does getting rich and marrying a wife count?

Seeing Bai Tu's confused and distracted appearance, Chen Gong didn't continue to ask, just sighed and comforted Bai Tu.

Bai Tu didn't understand what Chen Gong was comforting himself, but Chen Gong's problem really upset Bai Tu.

Ambition? There is a dream, Bai Tu is extremely hopeful, everything now is a dream!

didn't know that at this time in Chen Gong's heart, Bai Tu's image was already very plump - the unambitious strategists in the Yellow Turban Army fell into confusion in life because the ideal of "Huang Tian should stand" was shattered, and he even had the idea of living in seclusion......

I heard that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, when they first met Bai Tu, the other party was still wearing strange clothes...... Maybe it's also a sign that I'm too stimulated, right?

As for why he is a "no-willing" strategist?

Chen Gong believes that if Zhang Jiao had reused the white picture at the beginning, the world would not be the current situation!

Chen Gong also told Lu Bu this, which led to the current high-level Lu Bujun generally accepting Bai Tu's character.

Before this long talk, when Chen Gong began to recuperate, he told Lu Bu that he must be more involved in Bai Tu's "great talent", and after the long talk, Chen Gong's evaluation of Bai Tu was further improved.

And for Bai Tu's attitude of never having a heart-to-heart with Lu Bujun - that is, "only analyzing the situation but not giving suggestions", he also has sufficient people to make up for it.

When Lu Bu first started, he actually had a similar judgment to Lu Lingqi, that is, he was very suspicious of Bai Tu......

However, Lu Bu finally chose to believe in Chen Gong and reason, and did not trust his intuition like his daughter!

Lingqi's evaluation of this is: "What a pathetic adult! ”

After all, Cao Cao now has a group of anti-bone boys to deal with in his old nest, and on the other hand, the situation in Chang'an has begun to change, and the contradictions between Guo Yan and Li Wei, who control the Son of Heaven, are becoming more and more serious, so that Cao Cao sees an opportunity to live in strange goods......

Therefore, Cao Cao was not active in encircling Lu Bu, who was retreating eastward.

And after entering Xuzhou, Lu Bu also shook up a little - he found that he was in Xuzhou, and his popularity was quite good!

As soon as he entered Xuzhou, not only local officials received Liu Bei's notice to welcome the arrival of Lu Bujun, but even the people in the city were very cordial to Lu Bu.

There is no other reason, when Cao Cao crusaded against Xuzhou in the name of "avenging his father", he was too ruthless.

In history and romance, directly naming it is "slaughtering the city", and there is no reason to shirk the heinous act!

Even in this world, Cao Cao was afraid of the protection of the city concubine, and still followed the iron law of "the army does not govern the city, and the guard does not enter the army", and the people killed directly are very few, and there are almost no victims in the city, but ...... However, it forcibly extracted manpower, resulting in the withering of manpower in Xuzhou in the next few years, grain production will be reduced, and even the fertility rate will decline.

And just when Cao Cao broke through Xuzhou City and was attacking Pijun City, Lu Bu took most of Cao Cao's lair and forced him to withdraw his troops.

Now that Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao and fled to Xuzhou, naturally the people of Xuzhou will give him fair "treatment", which is something that the great Confucian celebrities can't change no matter how much they look down on Lu Bu's character.

At the same time, after listening to Bai Tu's analysis, Chen Gong persuaded Lu Bu to leave most of the army directly outside Xiaopei City, and went to Pengcheng to meet Liu Bei with his personal guards, so as to express his sincerity that he was not involved in Xuzhou's ambitions!

Lu Bu also accepted this suggestion in its entirety, and others might worry about their safety, but Lu Bu had an almost mysterious confidence in his own strength......
