Even in modern time and space, the significance of the chariot ship is subversive.

Cao Mengde has no reason not to pay attention to it.

Although there are no conditions for large-scale manufacturing of talisman cars and ships, just as Zhao Yu gave him, he has already begun to prepare for this major event that can change the entire era.

However, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous and bumpy.

The biggest problem encountered at the moment is still in the inscription of the road pattern.

Don't look at Cao Ang and other disciples It only took a month for them to learn to inscribe the Dao pattern. But that was taught by Zhao Yu. It also uses Daoyin to guide inspiration.

Otherwise, if you teach like an ordinary teacher, you may not be able to achieve anything in three or five years.

A simple line from the talisman is successfully inscribed, and its fineness can almost make people scratch off the hair on their heads. Cao Ang and others left the courtyard and returned to Puyang, Cao Mengde began to cultivate talents with inscriptions, carefully selected dozens of people, and taught by Cao Ang and others.

This made Cao Mengde entangled, until Zuo Ci and Yu Ji came to the door, and he suddenly thought that maybe he could use a Taoist priest to complete this process?

In Cao Mengde's view, there are few Taoist priests in the world who can't draw talismans. I started to learn to draw talismans soon after I got started, and although they were all deceptive things, I had the basic skills to do so. He immediately hit the two old Taoist priests with his idea.

Otherwise, how could it be easy to take them to Taihe Courtyard?

The Taoist family was scattered and carefree, and Cao Mengde didn't feel that he had given an order, and the Taoist priests from all over the world flocked to him. What he wanted was the reputation of these two old Taoist priests. As long as these two old Taoist priests spoke, the problem was solved.

As for whether these two old Taoist priests would really get the immortal fate from Zhao Yu, Cao Mengde never thought about it.

Regarding the key to the cultivation of the Immortal Dao, Zhao Yu also told Cao Mengde. What's more, Cao Mengde learned from Cao Ang and others that Cai Yan did not cultivate immortals. Even Cai Yan, Zhao Yu's wife, has not been able to cultivate immortals, two foreign Taoist priests, can they have that blessing?

If it was really that easy, he Cao Mengde didn't say a word, left these three states and a few counties, turned around and went to another courtyard, and he didn't come out for the rest of his life.

What a shrewd person Cao Mengde is!

Xun Yu said: "Mr. Zhao said that it is not easy to practice, it seems that there is a root, and hundreds of millions of people may not have one. If Zuo Ci and Yu Ji return disappointed, and since then they have escaped into the mountains but have survived, wouldn't the lord's intentions be in vain?"

Cao Mengde twisted his beard and laughed: "I can't play in the water, I can't play in the water." If you don't know Mr. Zhao, don't worry, Mr. Zhao will definitely help me. ”

Xun Yu really didn't know much about Zhao Yu, but Cao Mengde knew very well.

He knew that Zhao Yu would definitely be able to guess his intentions, and then help him easily.

"That's right. Cao Mengde said: "What is the current situation in Guanzhong?"

Xun Yu said: "The lord is asking Zhicai?"

Cao Mengde slapped his forehead: "Yes." ”

Then he said to the door: "Dian Wei, quickly invite Mr. Xi." ”

After a while, the drama arrived.

Cao Mengde is a political strongman, and the emperor's mind is slippery. The rights of his subordinates, he distributed them very well. In terms of military planning, it is mainly based on drama Zhicai and Xun You. Xi Zhicai is in the dark, and Xun Yu is in the light. In terms of politics, Xun Yu is the leader, and Cheng Yu and others are supplemented. Now they are gradually separated, and the two sides go their own way, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

"My lord. ”

Xi Zhicai was full of energy and bowed.

He was sick and in good health. Now he is full of energy and looks better than many ordinary people.

"Sit. ”

Cao Mengde motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "What is the situation in Guanzhong?"

Xi Zhicai smiled: "The situation is very good. ”

said: "Because the lord went to Taihe Courtyard, I planned to report tomorrow." ”

It's also a coincidence that Cao Mengde left this time just when the news came back. Xi Zhicai received a letter and was supposed to come to see Cao Mengde immediately, but Cao Mengde went to Taihe Villa, so he planned to talk about it tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Cao Mengde came back quickly, and sent Dian Wei to invite him.

"The relevant informants were sent in writing to the son and the general. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "First of all, Hanoi. General Lü Bu went to Hanoi half a month ago and said Yu Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang hesitated for a few days and agreed to return. Because the lord asked to keep it as it was, he couldn't come to Puyang to see the lord in person. ”

Cao Mengde was overjoyed: "Zhang Yang is attached?!"

Xi Zhicai smiled: "The lord's means are strong, if he doesn't belong to him, isn't he looking for death?"

Cao Mengde shook his head and smiled: "I pulled Mr. Zhao's tiger skin, of course he didn't dare not to join him." ”

Then he said: "Since Zhang Yang is attached, what is Lu Bu doing at this time?"

"General Lu Bu has been reorganizing the army for half a month. As long as the lord gives an order, he can send troops to the east of the river. ”

"Okay!" Cao Mengde clapped his hands and said, "What about the pot pass? ”

Zhang Yang is also quite tight, and he is heavily guarded. Now it is in the hands of General Lu Bu. ”

"Good. Cao Mengde exhaled: "Later, summon Lu Bu and ask him to wait for him and listen to Hou Jun's orders." ”

"Yes. ”

"What about Guanzhong?

Xi Zhicai laughed: "Mr. Jia is extraordinary, he has his hands from top to bottom, and the princes of Xiliang in Guanzhong have become fire and water. With just a word from the lord, this fire can be lit and burned all over Guanzhong. ”

"The main thing is the Son of Heaven. Cao Mengde bowed slightly: "The Son of Heaven can't have anything." ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Jia Wenhe said that he has won the trust of the Son of Heaven, even if there is chaos in Guanzhong, he can also keep the Son of Heaven safe." ”

"Tsk, this Jia Wen and Guo are as Mr. Zhao said, it's amazing. Cao Mengde praised softly: "I heard that the Son of Heaven is obedient and difficult to get along with, but he can win the trust of the Son of Heaven in just one month, and it is really not something ordinary people can do." ”

"Now that it is coming, Wen Ruo thinks, when should I do it?" Cao Mengde turned his face and asked Xun Yu.

Although Xun Yu is in charge, he is not involved in the military. But Xun Yu himself is a strategist, how can he be a stranger to the military.

Seeing Cao Mengde ask him, he said: "Now in March, it is the spring plowing season. Guanzhong is already in the owner's bag, so it can't be destroyed too much. You might as well wait for the spring ploughing to pass, and then send troops to Guanzhong in the summer season. lest it spoil spring ploughing and is not conducive to governance. ”

Cao Mengde really laughed: "Wen Ruo knows me!"

So he said, "That's May!"

His words were categorical: "This time I will send troops to Guanzhong, I intend to order Sun Bofu to lead the troops, what do the two gentlemen think?"

Xun Yu smiled: "It's no better." Lu Bu used it, why didn't Sun Ce use it. ”

Cao Mengde said: "However, I use Lu Bu Sun Ce, and Yuan Rang Miaocai may have some opinions. ”

Xun Yu shook his head and smiled: "It is important to send troops to Guanzhong, but it is even more important to guard against Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu." can't win Guanzhong, there are still two or three chances. But if you can't prevent Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, you will damage the foundation. ”

Cao Mengde smiled.

"Well said. Then use Sun Ce!"

He clapped his palms and said decisively.

Xi Zhicai reminded on the side: "Sun Ce can be used, but he must be used separately from Zhou Yu." Inevitably, these two can't be together. ”

Cao Mengde nodded again and again: "Zhicai reminded me that I almost forgot." How about letting Zhou Yu preside over the training of the navy? Although it is still early to build the Fu Gong warship, the navy has to be put on the agenda. ”

"The lord is wise!"
