Xu Shu looked at the "Five Wheels Book" and gradually became focused, and this concentration naturally relaxed, relaxed...... He put his feet on the chair directly, as if he was on the street, sitting half with a pestle and half a plate.

After the tea, he slapped the table and said, "Okay!" This sentence of the king is exactly what I thought! ”

Then he hurriedly remembered the current occasion, and hurriedly got up embarrassedly to apologize to Bai Tu......

"It's okay, a person with a straight and true temperament...... Now that my Chu country is in the ascendant internally, surrounded by many tigers and leopards outside, it is the time when I am thirsty for talents, I want to sweep a peaceful and prosperous era for the people of the world, and open a place to show my strength for people with lofty ideals from all over the world. Bai Tu took the opportunity to hand out the solicitation.

"Young and ridiculous, but worthy of himself, not to mention regrets, after many mentors and friends do not give up, study a little success, now the king does not give up, I hope the second half of my life is worthy of the world!" Hearing this, Xu Shu stood up from the chair and bowed very formally.

Xu Shu was originally interested in Bai Tu, otherwise he would not have appeared before.

Later, he had a good conversation with Bai Tu and accepted Bai Tu's gift of books, so naturally there was no reason to refuse.

"Good! Yuan Zhi has the ability to break the battle formation, so he is naturally appointed by the Privy Council, and the other ...... I also have a private assignment that I want to give to Yuanzhi. Bai Tu said solemnly.

Xu Shu heard that the appointment of the Privy Council was brought by a word, but he specifically emphasized the latter, even if he didn't say the official title, he knew that this was a real responsibility!

"I want to share the sorrows of the king." Xu Shu said with high morale.

"Ministry of Works...... This task involves the confidential needs of the Ministry of Industry, what family members do Yuan Zhike have to arrange? Bai Tu asked promptly.

Xu Shu had also heard that the Ministry of Industry, as the most important part of the Chu State, had to involve some of these secret projects, and the participants must have close relatives in the Chu State.

In contrast, even the generals who led the army under the Privy Council did not pay as much attention to the Ministry of Works......

"The old mother of the Shu family is still in Yingchuan Changshe, but I don't know if I can get it back now." Xu Shu mentioned that her mother was also a little worried.

After all, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty, the traffic on the road is extremely inconvenient, especially in troubled times, not necessarily there are rebellious soldiers and bandits in which mountain col, ordinary people do not say that they can move far away.

Xu Shu hoped in his heart that after he served in the Chu State, he would be able to take his mother back to the Chu State to enjoy his old age in peace, but ......

"Yingchuan Chosha? Then don't worry, you write a letter to Lingtang later, and the rest will wait for me to contact King Wei. Bai Tu nodded clearly, which was also prepared by Bai Tu.

After all, Xu Shu's most well-known deeds are not because he broke Cao Ren, but because his mother was in the hands of Cao Cao, he had to say goodbye to Liu Bei, and he was not reused after entering Cao Ying.

There are two of them, one is that when Changbanpo fled, Xu Shu's mother was arrested by Cao Jun because she walked behind with the people, and the other is that Xu's mother did not come to Jingzhou with Xu Shu at the beginning, and the identity of "Shan Fu" was recognized by Xu Shu's fellow villager Cheng Yu, so Cao Cao took Xu Shu back in the name of Xu's mother.

In either case, Cao Cao did a very bad job in this matter, and in terms of the mainstream values of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it seemed very bad to threaten the civil and military relatives under his control and under the command of other princes.

After all, in today's world, there are also cases where brothers, and even fathers and sons, serve different princes.

Especially in the big families, it is common to have separate effects, and this threat is very rule-breaking.

The state of Chu has special regulations, and only a few of the most important departments of the Ministry of Industry, and all the personnel involved must have close relatives in the state of Chu to reduce the risk of leakage of secrets.

Cao Cao did this, and the only thing that could hide his shame a little was that he was conquering Xu Shu on behalf of the imperial court at that time.

And now Bai Tu is not worried, Cao Cao will not give himself this face......

Not to mention Cao Cao's current situation, it was decided that he would be much closer to Bai Tu now, and then talk about it...... Cao Pi is still in Jinling!

Bai Tu was also very righteous, and was about to send Cao Bang, who was a brother and sister to him, back to Xu County, Cao Cao would never detain Chu Chen's relatives at this time.

"King Xie is complete...... It's just that I don't understand, the Ministry of Industry, should be skilled craftsmen, or people with a lot of knowledge, right? Shu doesn't seem to have any expertise in this area......" Xu Shu asked with some confusion while breathing a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha, naturally it is not for Yuan Zhi to go to the Ministry of Industry to serve, but that the Ministry of Industry will develop some new armaments in the future, which is different from ordinary swords, bows and crossbows, and someone will need to make new tactical positioning for these new armaments at that time." The white picture is generally vague.

Not only muskets, but also cold weapons such as heavy cavalry - once the stamping machine appears, with the current steel production, plate armor can be directly mass-produced, and then ...... Even if it will eventually be eliminated, it can be brought out and exported.

In the next five years, the state of Chu will not fight any major wars...... Unless the situation changes drastically, skirmishes may break out in the ports of Qingzhou and Youzhou, and even on the Seafood Peninsula, and hundreds or thousands of heavy cavalry can be used as a decisive force.

As for whether it will be wasted?

Bai Tu felt that before he wanted to eliminate the heavy cavalry, he could easily sell the plate armor and the like to other families.

And the heavy cavalry is different from the musket, if someone imitates the heavy cavalry of the Chu State, Bai Tu will be very happy that they go the wrong way - for the Chu State, the plate armor of three or two thousand is just sprinkling water, even if it is only for the "misleading" effect, it is also earned, not to mention that the plate armor is weak against breech guns, but the cuirass body armor appeared in Germany during World War I, which is a continuation of plate armor......

The musket is only used as an upgrade of the bow and arrow, or the armored heavy cavalry is used as an upgrade of the cavalry, which is in the category of "doing more with less".

Like muskets, heavy cavalry had their own tactics......

Just like the Liaodong Iron Cavalry in the middle and late Ming Dynasty - Li Chengliang did not use the art of war and battle formations to subdue Liaodong.

If you really use the heavy cavalry as an enhanced version of the cavalry, you won't be able to exert its power.

Not to mention that there are many magical gadgets in the Ministry of Industry......

After the real qi machine gradually became practical, various products of trial and error also emerged in an endless stream, and there may not be some practical ones.

Because of the difference in the world of Chenghime, Bai Tu also encourages this kind of "trial and error".

In addition to the big projects led by Pang Tong, Yu Ji, and Huang Yueying, there are also many "interesting" small projects in operation.

However, in order to make this kind of trial-and-error innovation more reliable, Bai Tu also needs some trusted generals who can put forward targeted opinions to the Ministry of Industry from the aspect of tactical command, after all, most of the skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry do not understand the real battlefield.

Although Bai Tu said vaguely, Xu Shu heard it, this is to make him a tactical pioneer, the weight of responsibility and trust can be imagined, and the blood is even more moved.

"As for the Privy Council arrangement...... I won't interfere for now, and then when the envoy of Lu Shu comes back, Yuan Zhi might as well show it himself. Bai Tu had the idea of letting Xu Shu go to the battlefield simulation with Lu Bu.
