Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 8 Situation

A few days later, Jiao touched the barracks.

At this time, thousands of sergeants who watched the excitement had gathered around a small school field.

At this time, a wooden frame three to four meters high was built on the school field, and several sets of pulleys had been installed on the wooden frame.

Today, Du Fu is going to show General Jiao Chu how to lift a thousand catties of weight by himself.

What happened today can only be blamed on him bragging in front of General Jiao Chu a few days ago, and Jiao Touch asked him to get out some pulleys to show him the next day.

In order to perform for Jiao Chu, it took Du Fu a few days to get the veteran blacksmith in the army to polish several sets of pulleys.

Today was the day he performed for Jiao Touch, but he didn't expect so many people to come.

"Du Fu, I think this combination is the most labor-saving. Connect these four to make a moving pulley. Use three pulleys to connect and fix it, which can save eight times the effort."

"No, it should be four fixed pulleys on the top and three movable pulleys on the bottom. This is the best."

"Okay, don't argue, just try my method, let's thread the rope first." Du Fu said to the crowd.

Under the work of a group of people, soon, a long rope was threaded into seven pulleys.

At this time, under the pulley, there are two huge boulders, one large and one small, which have been tied with ropes. As long as the hook on the pulley catches the rope, you can try to lift it.

"General, we are ready."

After everything was ready, Du Fu said to Jiao Touch not far away.

"Go ahead, I want to see if you can lift the stone." Jiao Touch said to Du Fu.

Hearing Jiao Touch's words, Du Fu nodded, hooked the small stone with the hook on the pulley.

Although this stone does not have a thousand catties, it still has five hundred catties.

After the pulley hooked the rope trapped on the stone, Du Fu tried to pull the rope on the pulley.

As Du Fu pulled the rope, with a rattling sound, the stone was easily pulled up by the pulley.

"Huh!"

Seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but exclaimed.

As Du Fu continued to pull, the stone rose higher and higher, and soon reached the top.

Next, Du Fu slowly put the stone down again.

"Try the big one." Jiao Chu told Du Fu.

Hearing the order, Du Fu hastily hooked the pulley onto the boulder weighing a thousand catties.

Next, Du Fu began to pull the rope.

Even the supporting shelves rattled more violently because of the weight.

But despite this, the boulder weighing a thousand kilograms was soon pulled up.

"Wow!"

At this moment, the onlookers immediately became overwhelmed and whispered to each other.

"Put it down, let me try."

Jiao Touch asked Du Fu to put down the stone, and he was going to try it himself.

Du Fu put down the stone as he said, and handed the rope to Jiao Touch.

Jiao Chu followed Du Fu's example and pulled the rope. Soon, the huge boulder was pulled up again.

Not long after, Jiao Touch put down the stone, and he himself even walked up to the stone, put his hands against the stone and pushed directly, even though he tried his best, the stone still remained motionless.

"Come here a few people, let's try together." Jiao Touch waved to his personal guards.

Soon, several personal guards walked over and joined the stone-pushing team.

At first, there were only two people pushing, and the stone shook, but it couldn't be pushed. It wasn't until three people pushed the stone that it was overturned.

"Bring more people, let's see how many people can lift it up." Jiao Touch said to his soldiers.

He didn't take part in lifting stones, and handed everything over to the soldiers.

It took more than a dozen people to lift the huge boulder weighing more than a thousand catties by hand, and it was still very difficult.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing."

Looking at the two sets of pulleys that Du Fu made, Jiao Touch couldn't help admiring.

As a general, he immediately thought that when defending the city, he could use this to transport rolling wood and stones to and from the city wall, which would save a lot of manpower.

It can also be used to transport bricks and stones when building city walls, which is very convenient.

"Du Fu, Li Bai, you are credited with making the pulley. Each of you will be rewarded with [-] renminbi. From now on, you two will follow me and be my personal secretary."

Jiao Touch was happy, not only rewarded Du Fu and Li Bai with [-] yuan each, but also accepted them as assistants, really envied others.

"Lord Du, Lord Li, congratulations, congratulations." The two got promoted and made a fortune, and Ding Ergou stepped forward to congratulate them immediately.

Half a year ago, the two of them were just small characters who had just entered the military camp. When they saw him, Ding Ergou would call out to him as an adult.

But now only half a year later, Ding Ergou is going to address the two adults.

Time entered February, when the news of Yuan Tan's defeat and killing came, no matter whether it was Yuan Shang or Yuan Xi's sphere of influence, there was a lot of panic.

In February, after Cao Cao cleaned up Yuan Tan, he immediately sent his troops north to attack Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang was defeated and fled to Youzhou to join his brother Yuan Xi.

After Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were defeated one after another, anyone with insight could see that Yuan Xi could not be Cao Cao's opponent.

Faced with such a situation, Yuan Xi's generals inevitably felt cautious.

Especially Yuan Xi's generals, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, even conspired with each other.

In March, Yuan Xi's general Jiao Chao and Zhang Nan rebelled.

Jiao Chu, Zhang Nan and others led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Yuan Xi's troops. Yuan Xi was defeated, and then fled to Wuhuan with his brother Yuan Shang.

After Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fled, Jiao Chu later named himself the governor of Youzhou and immediately led the governors and commanders of various counties to defect to Cao Cao.

Later, Cao Cao led his army to take over Youzhou and rewarded Jiao Hu and others as marquises.

At this point, Cao Cao finally reached Youzhou, and Zhang Qingfeng decided to come out to assist Cao Cao in unifying the country.

The idea is good, but the imagination is beautiful, and the reality is very skinny.

Zhang Qingfeng went to Cao Ying, but he was kicked out by Cao Cao's sergeant without even seeing Cao Cao's face, and was beaten severely.

"Bah, I really think anyone can see the general. If you dare to come here again and try to trick me, I will stop you."

Half a month later, Zhang Qingfeng returned to Erdaogou Village. At this time, he was a little discouraged.

This time he defected to Cao Cao, but he was kicked out without even seeing Cao Cao's face. He was beaten severely and injured all over his body.

He went to see Cao Cao as a scholar, and he was received by a young general.

People asked him: Can you recite the Analects of Confucius?Recite one and let me hear it.

I will not recite.

Then can you recite Mencius?
Neither will it.

……

"He doesn't know anything, and he claims to be a scholar, come here, kick him out for me..."

It's very tragic that Zhang Qingfeng met a martial artist and was kicked out after a few questions and answers.

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng was full of resentment towards Cao Cao.

Liu Bei was the one who invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain after visiting the thatched hut three times. I rushed to help you, but your subordinates even drove me out.

Fortunately, he went to Cao Cao quietly alone, and his students didn't see him, otherwise his old face would be ashamed.

"Bah, you bastard, even if I lose ten years of life, I won't help you unify the whole country."

　PS: Let me tell you about Cao Cao’s thirst for talents. At first, I thought that Cao Cao had always been thirsty for talents. After checking the information, I found out that Cao Cao was very inflated before the Battle of Chibi, and he was not too thirsty for talents.

　　After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao realized that there was no way to unify the whole country. In addition, many people in the interior began to dissociate themselves from the Han Dynasty and him. At this time, he was eager to seek talents. Officials are recommended only on their talents, which means that as long as they are talented, they can be recommended no matter whether they are virtuous or disabled. At that time, they are eager to seek talents.
