[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Xia Anran soon knew how happy it was to travel with a young genius.

For the convenience of drawing this time, he brought a lot of tools that can be used, such as pencils, drawing boards, and paper made of straw. The straw is a bit hard and the raw materials are cheap. I write with ink, but it is good to use a pencil, and because the paper is relatively thick, I can use a knife to gently scrape off the top layer when modifying, without affecting the next step of writing.

This is because the principle of pencil writing is that graphite covers the top layer of the paper. In theory, it is only necessary to stick this layer away. Cough, Xia Anran tried using steamed buns, but the effect was not good. In the end, he still felt that a knife was better. It's easier to use.

This is better than a brush, after all, the ink will penetrate deep into the fibers of the paper.

Moreover, the waste paper can be reused after being soaked in water, which greatly saves raw materials.

At the same time, after Xia Anran said that by mixing graphite powder and clay and extruding it, he could get a thinner refill, the bosses quickly tinkered with him to create a pencil in the true sense... but in the Here, the big name of the pencil is the ink pen.

Ink pens that do not require refilling, are easy to carry, can be mass-produced, and are relatively cheap quickly seized the middle and low-level markets. Although the status of craftsmen is not high at this time, some masters still have great influence.

Moreover, they often adopt the method of mentoring apprentices and apprentices leading grandchildren. Every craftsman has a huge network of contacts. Not long after the ink pen was made, this kind of pen soon became popular. After being purchased in large quantities suddenly, and the interest chain is involved, the method of making ink pens cannot be kept.

Of course, Xun Yu didn't intend to keep it a secret, Xia Anran has produced too many things recently, an ink pen is just a small addition, and the more critical papermaking method is still in their hands.

At this time, "Encouraging Learning" chosen by Cao Cao was in the process of being produced. Xun Yu specially entrusted his relationship to find a master engraver, and invited his apprentices to help make the engraving. His idea was very simple. The first "Book" The promotion of the book will definitely meet resistance, but what if it is a beautiful book?It was written by the great Confucianist Cai Yong, and the master was invited to be strict, and Cai Yong's handwriting was still used, and the content of the style was also the most peaceful question of persuading people to learn.

He tried his best to minimize what the family could blame for this.

if anything else...

That can only be a struggle.

Xun Yu was born in a family, he understands the weight of this book better than anyone else.

This is not a book, but a ship carrying knowledge, an ax that splits blockades, and a sharp sword that pierces the hearts of meritorious family members. He understands this better than anyone else, and he also knows why Cao Cao did this, and why Xia Anran is.

To manufacture lightweight paper that can be mass-produced, to manufacture engraving blocks that can print documents in large quantities, and to manufacture the most convenient and cheapest ink pens that can be written anywhere.

Although Xia Jingxi didn't say anything, his purpose was always clear.

He wants to open up the wisdom of the people.

He wants to open the door sealed by the aristocratic family, so that the common people underneath can also receive education and acquire knowledge.

Under such implementation, it may only take 20 years... When the next generation is born and grows up, the situation will change.

When the family has only blood to show off... what will the family look like?

Zhong Yao came to ask him this question, and the two of them were looking at the first book that was printed and bound with twine.

Xun Yu just smiled, with a gentle smile from the corners of his eyes to the corners of his lips, except that there was no expression in his eyes.

After Xunzi, he was a member of the Xun family in Yingchuan. He has read a lot of books and rarely has a good reputation.

At that moment, he was so proud and cold that he told his friend, "My Xun family is not afraid of this change."

"Yu's brothers and uncles were all enlightened at the age of three and learned art at the age of six. The same is true for Yu's son."

"The reputation of the Xun family is not because our surname is Xun, but because we have never stopped practicing since the day we were born. Proud."

He glanced at the book on the table, and smiled softly, "If someone wins the dragon and phoenix, and can rely on these [books] to surpass me, then consider him the best, where is the shame, where is the humiliation?"

"Open this door, I am not afraid, Yuan Chang can be afraid?"

Zhong Yao laughed loudly when he heard the words, he used his finger as a pen, dipped in the wine and wrote on the table impromptu, after finishing writing, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, took the goose feather fan on the table and left casually.

What he wrote was exactly the word [kai] in seal script.

There are one door on the left and one on the left, and the one in the middle is written hugely. Below it is a pair of hands, fingers dropped very heavily, and the wine splashed out. That point seems to break the sky with the words.

Its meaning has been very clear.

Xun Yu smiled lightly. He lowered his eyelids slightly and looked at the books on the table. Then he stood up and walked out of the Governor's Mansion. He passed by patrolling soldiers, people who went out to worship, and merchants who came to buy toothbrushes and powder, and greeted the defenders. Finally, he stepped on the city wall and looked at the two words left in the wheat field from a distance, the big man Yongxing, which is the wish of the lord. ''

His eyes flashed the firm look that day when the lord decided on these two words.

If you really want to release this fierce beast.

What will happen later, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

King and family.

King and eunuch.

Family and family.

Family and eunuchs.

Thinking about what the folks said, the emperor and the family ruled the world together...

Xun Yu sighed softly, at this moment, what he thought of was Xia Anran's words back then, protecting the people of Li and bringing peace to all ages.

This kid is actually walking towards his goal step by step.

Fortunately, he has the same goal as himself.

otherwise……

Xun Yu smiled slightly, if Xia Anran was in the enemy camp, he was afraid that he would order him to be killed.

Xia Anran didn't know that because of the success of the first book, the two counselors left behind had discussed it. He was leading two teenagers to draw pictures.

Nowadays, the way of drawing is very rough. Although he wanted to introduce the ruler method, it was not easy to measure the land in the era when the earth method could only be used. In the end, the few people simply drew a few small grids on a piece of drawing paper, taking steps to measure the land. Unit, although Cao Ang is young, he is free to receive a good education. If he deliberately controls, every step he takes can be guaranteed to be the same size.

So after Xia Anran measured the distance of Cao Ang's step, he used him as a step's ruler.The other prop is a straw rope. The length of the straw rope was naturally measured. Later, the young boy Liang thought it was too troublesome to use, so he just tinkered with a wheelbarrow-like thing. I made a big knot, and every time a fixed distance is reached, the car will give a click, which can be used as a reminder that the distance has been reached, and then only need to change from pushing to pulling, and it can be used repeatedly.

Calculating the length in this way is much more convenient and more accurate than measuring steps. For the convenience of drawing, Xia Anran also tinkered with the angle ruler.

The production method is also very simple. The elliptical angle ruler only needs to be divided into [-] degrees, and then divided into equal parts. They use each high point as a fixed point, measure the number of steps, and then measure the angle of the two places, and record it on the paper In this way, the plane terrain can be roughly drawn in the form of straight lines.

As for the height of the mountain, it is simple. The Pythagorean algorithm has appeared now. Calculating the height through the shadow is the knowledge learned in junior high school. Fortunately, Xia Anran did not forget it.

This group of people with no drawing experience spent more than a month walking through most of the main roads in Yanzhou, and by the way, they also found out the gathering points of bandits in Yanzhou.

Originally they wanted to continue, but Xun Yu sent someone to find them and find the three of them back. As for the work in hand, the workers who have been working with them these days are responsible for receiving it. All the maps of the state were handed over to Xia Anran for drawing, all he needed was for him to toss out this drawing technique.

Xun Yu was plausible about not telling Xia Anran in advance, "I thought Jingxi knew."

His complexion didn't change, but his eyes widened slightly, with a look of surprise, "Jing Xi is a pillar of talent, why would you waste time on drawing maps?"

Then why should I go out!Also called people back after we worked out some drawing tricks!Retaliation, this must be revenge!

It must be revenge for Xun Yu who has been working out too many things recently and increased the workload for Xun Yu!

Xia Anran's eyes of accusation fell on Xun Yu, the lord clearly said that I can mess around as I please!

Xun Yu's eyes entered the water steadily, full of tolerance, like looking at an ignorant child: Ha ha, no, the lord never said such a thing at all, he said that he would believe it even more in the future!appoint!you!

The two looked at each other, and Xun Yu smiled at him. Unlike Xia Anran, who was just 20 years old, Xun Yu is in his [-]s this year.

With his smile, the aura of a mature man spread out, confident, gentle, tolerant, full of comfort, Xia Anran twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but cover his face.

Mom, I, I seem to be assimilated by this age of looking at faces!

Looking at this face, I can't get angry anymore QWQ

At this time, the sound of Cao Cao's laughter came from the outside, and everyone got up to salute. They saw Cao Cao's face was full of smiles, and behind him were several generals, and of course there were several degrees of tanning. Cao Ang.

Seeing his son turned into a little black charcoal after he came back, Cao Cao had no complaints as his own father, on the contrary he was very pleased.

He also heard that Cao Ang led people to pick out a few dens of thieves while drawing with Xia Anran, and wiped out the harm for the people. Cao Cao was even more delighted, and he praised it repeatedly.

As a father, Cao Cao is undoubtedly extremely qualified. Before, Xia Anran felt that Cao Cao had a loving father when he looked at them counselors, but after seeing his attitude towards his son, this feeling was even deeper.

When I was in Dongjun, when I was free, Cao Cao would change into regular clothes, take a few sons and brothers, and walk on the road to visit the homes of various courtiers. When Cao Chun climbed the wall, he bumped into Cao Cao and came to his house. drop by.

Later, I learned that there was a ladder in the house of the two of them. Sometimes when Cao Cao came to Cao Chun’s house, he would ask his youngest son to go under the wall and shout. Cao Pi, who has short legs and a three-headed body, is young, but full of spirit. , he shouted over there, Xia Anran would climb up the wall in a short while, then turn over and jump down, let's have a meal together.

Of course, he usually doesn't forget to bring a few side dishes when he eats, and the ministers are extremely harmonious.

So Cao Ang and Cao Pi's concept of the binding of Cao Chun and Xia Anran began at this time, so that they didn't see the clue, cough.

Not to mention the future, at this time Cao Cao was praising his eldest son, especially when he saw a relatively simple map drawn by memory after the three of them came back, he even looked at it carefully and thought for the three children. It's amazing.

With the horizontal scale, Xia Anran also drew a vertical scale to represent the slope of the terrain. Thanks to Liang's memory, the three of them were able to restore the map by relying on the recorded data after they returned to Changyi. stayed all night.

Cao Cao looked at the dark circles under the eyes of his son and his beloved counselor. He didn't touch the self-esteem of the children. Instead, he rewarded a lot of good things he got from "robbing the rich and helping the poor" and "eliminating harm for the people" along the way.

Then he picked up a stack of books that Xun Yu handed over.

It has already been bound, and it is from Cai Yong's "Encouraging Learning". He slowly unfolds the pages, and every word in it is his handwriting handed over by Wangnian.

Cao Cao's handwriting was used in the previous exhortation to learn, but later Cai Yong asked Cai Zhaoji to bring another bamboo slip with brand-new handwriting, which was an article he re-transcribed after receiving Cao Cao's message.

When Cai Yong wrote this article, he was in a restless mood. The handwriting he wrote was actually a sharp gesture rarely seen in his old age. He is a master of calligraphy. This "Encouraging Learning" can be said to be a collection of his calligraphy. The culmination of his life, all the fonts he has learned and practiced are integrated in this article, each character is like a dragon diving in the abyss, just waiting for the cloud and rain to jump out of the paper,

Cao Cao pondered over and over again, and ordered someone to re-engrav the engraving, all using Cai Yong's handwriting.

It would be a pity if no one sees such writing.

Although this move greatly increased the cost, the engraving apprentices were extremely happy. They even called the master for fear that they would not be able to grasp the charm of the word. , Now I only got used to the strength of my hand when doing wood carving, so I got started.

Therefore, the quality of the printing of this book is excellent, if not for careful inspection, and the slightly different smell and taste of the ink on it, even Cao Cao would have been fooled into thinking it was Cai Yong's authentic work.

He put down the book, and said with some emotion, "Bo Jie told me earlier that he wanted to build a college when he was old, and hoped that one day the garden would be full of peaches and plums." He squeezed the scroll, his face full of regret, "Now, Cao only wishes to live up to Bo Chi's trust."

Everyone spoke out to appease, and it was not until a moment later that everyone turned to the next topic, Cao Jun was about to move again.

Cao Cao got the official title this time, and he is the governor of Yuzhou. Logically, he should move to his hometown Qiao County, which is also the capital of Yuzhou. Naturally, he was not willing to abdicate, but Cao Cao's official seal and grant of books, plus he is also a wealthy family in Yuzhou, may have other considerations. There was no dispute between the two, so this person withdrew.

His retreat does not mean that Yuan Shu retreated.

Yuan Shu, who was fighting with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, just had no time to look around. When he and Liu Biao temporarily shook hands and made peace, he might come to deal with Cao Cao.

At the same time, Cao Cao, who holds Yanzhou in Yuzhou, is afraid that he will also be targeted by Xuzhou in the east.

"My lord, please invite the old man to come to Yanzhou first." Xia Anran interjected while everyone was thinking about how to stabilize Yanzhou.

Immediately, everyone changed color, especially Cao Cao. He frowned and looked at Xia Anran. Cao Mengde, who had always been gentle to him, couldn't control his evil spirit and rushed towards his beloved little girl. Counselor, the latter's eyes were drooping, and he didn't look at him, but said softly, "My lord, the old man has a lot of wealth, and he is also the father of the lord. The lord was born under Xiaolian."

He blinked his eyelashes, "If someone wants to stir up the relationship between the lord and Xuzhou Tao Qian... I'm afraid they will attack the old man."

His guess was right.

Cao Cao thought of this in an instant, he stood up abruptly, and walked around the room restlessly.

Indeed, Cao Cao, who ruled two states with one person, could already be said to be at the forefront of a major warlord force at this time. County prefect.

This is the most hated point, he is legal!

Even Cao Cao's little friends Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao would feel sore in their hearts now, let alone his enemy Yuan Shu, and in such a situation, as long as he was honest, no one would touch him. Give the governor, and you go to attack him, which is a bit too careless.

But what if he goes to attack others?

Governor Cao has just won a place, so he is naturally busy governing the area, and there will never be a war in a short time.

Then... What if Cao Inspector Cao, who was born in Xiaolian, had his father and relatives killed?

The clans in his hometown are all on his own base, so the local rich will naturally not be too tempted to touch them. His own base is called a thief.But Cao Song is in Xuzhou, and he is still in Xuzhou ruled by Tao Qian.

Xuzhou is now bordering Yanzhou, and there are many articles that can be done.

If Xia Anran hadn't brought it up, Cao Cao would definitely have thought of this question soon, but if he picks it up then, he might be taken a step ahead.

At that moment, Cao Cao stopped thinking about it, and immediately ordered Cao Chun, and ordered him to bring two thousand elites from the Tiger and Leopard Camp to pick up Cao Song with his handwriting. If his father refused to leave, he would tell his father about it, Cao Song It's a pity, if you know that you have become a piece of fat, you shouldn't hesitate.

If you still hesitate, then if you tie him up, you have to tie him back.

He just came back from Yuzhou, and the people in Yuzhou shouldn't have reacted as fast as him.It's just that the current situation is extremely difficult to solve. It's good if his father is safe and sound, but if it's really... really...

If someone dared to hurt his father!Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes showed a fierce look. He held the sword on the table with one hand, and the knuckles were so hard that the veins burst out.

"My lord, you might as well send someone to discuss this matter with Tao Gong first." Seeing this, Xun Yu remonstrated, "I'm afraid Tao Gong doesn't want to have this battle. If he got the news first, he should also send someone to protect the old man."

"Wen Ruo's words are reasonable." Cao Cao immediately drew the ink and laid out the paper. He quickly wrote a short message without any intention of exchanging greetings.

He glanced at all the people in the tent, Cao Chun had already been dispatched, the generals were not allowed to go out again, if it was an ordinary soldier, it would be undignified to send a letter, so he frowned.

At this moment, his eldest son suddenly appeared out of the crowd and clasped his fists in front of him, "Father, my son is willing to go."

His son stayed up all night yesterday, looking a little tired, but standing in front of him at this time, tall and tall, looking at him with firm and clear eyes, Cao Cao's thoughts were flying, and he slammed "Okay! It's fucked!" good boy!"

Cao Cao stepped down from the cot, walked up to the eldest son of Ying Ying, straightened him upright, carefully looked at the opened face of his son, he let out a hearty laugh, pressed the letter he wrote into Cao Ang's hand, and then waved his hand, "My son, Riding on the shadow of my father."

He stopped the counselors who wanted to persuade him, and his face was full of pride, "Fucking boy, you should be like a man, stand up to the sky, and leave the ground. Don't be afraid of danger, not afraid of difficulty."

"Cao Ang, my son, father believes in you, go."

Cao Ang took the order, knelt down to Cao Cao, took this letter that might destined the future of Cao Jun, rode on Cao Cao's shadow, and rushed to Xuzhou alone.

Xia Anran looked at Cao Ang's back with some worry, he closed his eyes forcefully, his mind was racing rapidly, now Cao Jun was in a dangerous situation.

On the back across the Yellow River is Yuan Shao's chassis, but it is the rainy season, Yuan Shao is still busy dealing with Gongsun Zan, and will not go south for the time being, Tao Qian is to the east, Yuan Shu is to the west, and Yuzhou has not yet been recovered to the south.

Xia Anran still doesn't know that Cao Cao is coming to Yuzhou. If she knew, she would have to jump on the spot. Boss, big brother, let's go slowly!You have completed many tasks ahead of time!Let's go slowly, don't worry, you still have decades to live! !

Fortunately, he didn't know, and he didn't realize that this is a world where the protagonist is more sloppy than him.

Cao Cao slowly withdrew his gaze following the eldest son, he rubbed the center of his brows, then coughed lightly to ease his emotions, and introduced the newcomer to everyone, "This is Gongda, a native of Yingchuan, this is Cao Cao. Encountered on the way west, great talent."

Gongda?

Xia Anran was slightly taken aback, ah!Xun You and Xun Gongda!Did Cao Cao abduct someone after going to Chang'an once?

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the superior Xun Yu looking at his elder nephew smiling very lovingly. After Xun You greeted everyone, he sat down at the head of Zhong Yao. Xiao Ye sat on top of him, and when Xun You took his seat, he saw the young man in front looking at him with a bright smile, and then looked at the familiar Zhong Yao and Xi Zhicai beside him, he felt a little nervous. Settle down a little.

Cao Cao introduced Xun You to everyone. It turned out that Xun You had conspired to assassinate Dong Zhuo before, and the news leaked out before it was done. come out.

Xun You was originally one of a group of officials brought to Chang'an from Luoyang. This time he saw all kinds of ugly behaviors of the officials in Chang'an. If he hadn't thought about assassinating Dong Zhuo at that time, he would have resigned and returned to his hometown long ago.

Being released this time made him more determined. Although there were officials from Chang'an who came to persuade him to re-enter the court, he rejected them one by one. He tidied up his things and wanted to return to Yingchuan. He said that Cao Cao strongly recommended returning to Luoyang in the middle of the court.

It's just a pity that no one is willing to listen.

Short-sighted, short-sighted!

Xun You and his friends lamented one after another, and then heard that Cao Cao was named the governor of Yuzhou and took charge of Yuzhou. In this way, Xun You couldn't help but want to contribute.

He had already obtained information from his family that his uncle Xun Yu had voted for Cao Cao, and his family did not recommend him to go to Cao Cao again.

If the two eldest sons of the Xun family went to Cao Cao's place, the Xun family would have surrendered their sincerity, but Cao Cao's behavior was really in harmony with Xun You. The more he inquired in Chang'an, the more itchy Xun You felt.

In the end, he couldn't help but stopped Cao Cao on his way out of the city. After that, he followed Cao Cao to Qiao County, Yuzhou, and won the support of the local family for Cao Cao, which was counted as a certificate of honor.

It's just that I didn't expect to encounter this incident when I first arrived in Changyi.

What was even more unexpected was that Cao Ying's response was so fast. Xun You, who was used to Chang'an bureaucracy, was not used to the speed at which problems were discovered, dealt with, and switched to the next topic.

"Are you not used to it?" His friend Xi Zhicai leaned over and whispered to him. Xun You nodded slightly, and looked at the next topic that Cao Ying quickly entered in a little confusion. Xia Anran even wrote something on the yellow paper with a strange wooden branch at a very fast speed. Xun Yu proposed one topic after another, and everyone expressed their opinions one after another. Finally, Cao Cao made a decision and changed the topic.

The couple who were still arguing just now may soon become allies as the topic changes, and at the moment they fight each other side by side without any grievances.

Xun You's eyes lit up when he saw this kind of operation mode, Xi Zhi just saw him like this, smiled, and softly reminded his friend, "It's okay if Gongda didn't hear clearly for a while, Jingxi will sort out the meeting minutes later. , you can borrow it."

It was another brand-new term. Xun You silently pressed it in his heart, and after the meeting, he found Xia Anran, the only person he was unfamiliar with here. He respected Cao Cao's mastermind in history, and Xun You felt his attitude. Somewhat flattered, Xia Anran smiled when he explained his intentions, and handed over to Xun You the paper he had sketched in the meeting. It was engraved by himself when he was doing the engraving before, and the descendants simply drew the grid , time, topic, meeting process, conclusion.

Because he had to keep up with the thoughts of the big bosses during the meeting, although he recorded it down, it was still relatively brief, mostly a few words. The thinking is extremely jumping, Xia Anran's body is still acceptable in the red building, but the ability is not enough to put it here.

Therefore, recording and refining the key points of the meeting is also his own homework.

I have persisted for almost two months, and the effect is not bad. The only disadvantage is that those counselors or generals are likely to come to him in a few weeks and ask for information to prove who said what a few days ago. Cough cough, this I can't tell Xun You, who has bright eyes, for the time being.

When Xun You got used to life in Cao Ying, Cao Cao became more and more anxious day by day. Although he didn't show it on his face, the bloodshot eyes could not be faked.Seeing such a situation, Xia Anran was also a little uneasy.

He still doesn't know what Shen Qi is going to do in this world. Although he has confidence in Shen Qi's force, he is not very sure about the setting of this world for people who must die. All of them obeyed their orders one by one, and Cao Song was his temptation to this world.

If Cao Song can't be saved, and if because of his suggestion, Shen Qi is caught up with.

By the end, his agitation was evident enough to be noticed.For this reason, Xun Yu came to comfort him personally, and he directly picked up Xia Anran who was stroking the rabbit and threw him on the couch.

"sleep."

Xun Yu unfolded the quilt on the couch and pressed it on Xia Anran's body, then untied Xia Anran's hair crown with a few strokes, and easily suppressed Xia Anran's resistance. Looking at him, Xun Yu blinked his eyelashes lightly, and said slowly, "Sleep, we'll talk when we wake up."

"Or... Jingxi wants Yu to sleep with you?"

Xia Anran didn't speak any more, but just buried her face in the quilt, let's just sleep with him, now that he has a family, it's not easy to sleep with others.

He buried his face in the quilt, closed his eyes, but his mind was running fast, his body was very tired, but his spirit didn't let him fall asleep.

He knew it was bad, but it was the instinct of the body, and he couldn't control it.

Worried, scared, more scared than any of Cao Chun's expeditions.

"The tiger and leopard battalion led by General Cao are all warriors selected from a hundred, and it is no problem to count one out of ten." Human troops are fearless."

"If you meet ten thousand people..." Xun Yu didn't finish his sentence. He walked to the edge of the bed and patted Xia Anran's quilt as if coaxing the child. , unless Tao Qian receives the information and sends troops to strangle him, there will be no serious problems."

"Jingxi, this is just the beginning."

"Since you have chosen him, there will be many such situations in the future, you have to get used to it."

Xia Anran froze for a moment, lifted the quilt and sat up, his face was flushed red, his round eyes were also wide open, he looked at Xun Yu in disbelief, the latter slowly withdrew his comforting hand, with a smile on his face. Sure enough, with such an expression, he said softly: "As the saying goes...women look for the one who pleases themselves, Jingxi, you also look for the one who pleases yourself."

"Actually, you hid it very well." He straightened his sleeves, looked over with a tolerant look and wide-eyed brows, "If it weren't for the fact that you were so worried and confused this time, you were far beyond the level of a friend, and in addition to all the previous... 展Can’t make a conclusion yet.”

Xia Anran's lips moved, and he didn't say the sentence that we didn't want to hide it, it's obvious that you are more than us, at this moment, he was very shy because of Xun Yu's words that please yourself.

This, is this counted out of the closet?What to say next?

He has no experience!

Seeing that the purpose of changing the subject was achieved, Xun Yu lamented in his heart how thin-skinned Jingxi was, and at the same time shoved him back under the bed, patting him, "I'll talk about it when I wake up. Go to bed first. I asked the lord for a day off. Jingxi Hee, rest well."

For a moment, Xia Anran shrunk under the quilt, his mind was in a mess, but Xun Yu's straight punch shattered his unconsciously formed heart. Once the heart was broken, his already tired body immediately manipulated him into a deep sleep. .

Also at this moment, he heard Xun Yu's vaguely remarked "Jingxi, you are the lord's last bottom line, no matter what time it is, you must hold on."

What, what do you mean?

It's just that he was too sleepy, even though his head was startled at this moment, he was still dragged by the deep sleepiness and fell asleep.

Wait, when you wake up, be sure to ask... what does this mean!Hoo hoo ~

But when he woke up, he found that the person next to him had changed, and it was Guo Jia.

Xia Anran slept from morning to evening, and learned from Guo Jia that Cao Cao called Xun Yu back when Xun Yu stayed with him until noon, "Is there something urgent?"

"Yeah." Guo Jia played with the teacup, with a casual expression on his face, "Over there in Chang'an, Li Que and Guo Si joined forces with the remnants of Xiliang to rebel."

"...Ah?!" Xia Anran couldn't help but widen her eyes, and Guo Jia said in an extremely calm tone, "Li Que and Guo Si gathered Dong Zhuo's scattered old troops along the way and besieged Chang'an. When the news comes, They have broken through Chang'an, killed Wang Situ, held His Majesty hostage, and were made generals."

This... this thing still happened?

Obviously a lot of things have changed now, but I didn't expect to go back to the big things.

For a moment, Xia Anran felt a little cold behind his back. He thought of the system's reminder in the first world, don't let the mission goals and the world's will find something that doesn't match their memory, so he has been changing in some small places, But different from the first world, he accidentally rescued Lin Jue back then, because the mission target was the flower hoe in the backyard, so he didn't seem to be found wrong.

But now the world is in the power center of Cai Yong's Jiao Weiqin, so he didn't start any major actions until after the task was completed, but unexpectedly all major events went back to the original path, then, then his thoughts...

Xia Anran squeezed her fists to calm herself down and continue listening, Guo Jia continued, "The news was blocked before, but it was the news after General Lu escaped."

Uh-huh?Lu, General Lu?

Seeing Xia Anran's surprised expression, Guo Jia explained to him, "General Lu met when the lord entered Chang'an this time, and he was also ordered to fight against Li Que and Guo Si, but Chang'an was short of troops, so we had to retreat and seek my lord."

Xia Anran took a deep breath and calmed down... No, he still couldn't, Lu Lu Bu!Although I don't know whether this is Lu Bu from the official history or Lu Bu from the novel, but this is Lu Bu!Among the people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in history, Lu Bu!

In history, Lu Bu went to vote for Yuan Shu after he was defeated. Later, he was kicked out by Yuan Shu and was greeted by Chen Gong as governor of Yanzhou. !

But there is also a problem. At that time, the reason why Yuan Shu couldn't stand Lu Bu was that the military discipline of the army he led was too poor. Now Cao Cao's army has very strict military discipline. Can Lu Bu bear this?If you can't stand Lu Bu, he will pat his ass and leave without hesitation!

In fact, Xia Anran was too worried. One thing Cao Cao was smarter than Yuan Shu was that he knew people and used generals.

He saw Lu Bu's character early in the morning and knew that he didn't like to be restrained, so when Lu Bu said he was willing to vote for Cao Ying, he immediately opened the barracks to him and asked him to command a mobile force under Cao Cao's account, independent of the war zone. war, but only one demand, only one.

Lu Bu and his personal guards must participate in the daily activities of Cao Ying.

Including but not limited to meetings, training, walking, eating, reading.

When they heard this request, Lu Bu and his deputies Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were all baffled. The first two made sense, but what the hell are the last three!

It’s just that Cao Ying’s treatment is really good. As soon as Lu Bu and others arrived, the horses were led to the stables. The soldiers in the stables were very good at serving the horses. They drank warm water and ate freshly harvested grass every day. What is even more shocking is that they also made brushes specially used for brushing horses.

Just as Lu Bu wanted to say that the Chitu was hot-tempered, Chitu quickly calmed down under the continuous turning operation, squinting his eyes to enjoy the service of brushing, picking teeth, and picking ears from the soldiers, not to mention other military horses.

Moreover, Cao Cao also showed him the official treatment of Cao Ying officers. Although he didn't know what soy sauce and bean paste were, he knew tooth powder.

The tooth powder that Cao Cao sent last time made him very respectable among his colleagues. Here, four boxes are distributed in a month... If you don't use it up, you can give it to others.

There are also maintenance of weapons, fire pits, seasonal snacks, paper and ink, and the key point is medical care for officers. Although I don’t know what else it is, Cao Ying seems to have a lot of strange things, but he tried the last one. It was very comfortable. After being massaged, I felt that my old wounds were also relieved a lot.

...Why don't you try it first?Several people exchanged a look.

Try it.

Lu Bu first agreed, and it didn't matter to him who he went to, but he chose Cao Cao because it was more speculative when he met and chatted with the two last time.

It was nothing more than a flash of thought, for a military general like him, no matter who he voted for, he would never be rejected.As he expected, Cao Cao accepted him without hesitation. Although the request was a bit weird, it was not a big problem.

until the first training session.

He originally thought that Cao Jun's training was separate. Unexpectedly, they conducted basic training uniformly, and then strengthened training according to different types of arms. At the same time, non-bow-wielding occupations must learn the operation of crossbows, while long-distance occupations must learn basic melee hand-to-hand combat. .

Just looking at this pattern once, Lu Bu knew what Cao Cao wanted to do. He saw Cao Cao's new way of training troops from it, and he couldn't say whether he was optimistic about it until he saw Cao Jun's crossbow.

No feathers, fast winding speed, can you change the arrow box?In short-to-medium distance combat, such a crossbow should have a dominant advantage-this idea until he personally tried the crossbow.

After using it personally, its disadvantages are obvious, the stability is poor, and the arrows cannot be used against the wind after flying out, and they cannot be used in windy days.

No need for mass production.

He frowned, not understanding whether it was Cao Cao's temptation or Cao Cao had no choice. As for Cao Cao not seeing this, Lu Bu didn't believe it. This was the mutual understanding between good generals. If you don't fight, you won't belittle Cao Cao in your heart.

When he had any questions, he went to ask, who knew that no one was found in the search camp, or Cao Cao heard that he was looking for him, and sent someone to take him to a workshop.

When Lu Bu arrived, he saw Cao Cao holding a long halberd across the sky, and looked carefully at it. His eyes lit up suddenly. The halberd's edge was cold and glowing silvery white in the sun. He stepped forward and bowed to Cao Cao. male."

"Fengxian!" Cao Cao saw him as soon as he entered the door, waved at him, and put the long halberd in his hand, "This is forged by a general in my camp with a new method, and I am going to test the halberd today. , Feng Xian is brave and sees a lot, why don't you try it and see if this long halberd is worthy of Erlu Wenhou's bravery?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao was going to give the halberd to him. He took the halberd without thanking him. The [-]-pound halberd was easily weaponized by him, and it was slashed down in a flash of cold light in the air. The edge of the knife crossed from above, and all the four bundled straw mats in front of him were cut off. Lu Bu slammed the halberd on the ground. , The onlookers applauded one after another, and even Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed, saying three good words in succession.

Lu Bu turned around to thank him. He could clearly see that the straw mats were covered in layers, and it was by no means cutting corners. The sharpness of this halberd was beyond his expectation. made by the forging method?"

"Exactly." Cao Cao's eyes fell on Lu Bu's halberd, and then back to Lu Bu's face, "It was mentioned by one of my advisers, and this halberd was also named after him."

"Huh?" Lu Bu blinked, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Oh, what's the name?"

"It's Fang Tian who painted the halberd."

The author has something to say: Xia Miao: No, I don’t, listen to my explanation, I’m just scratching the surface for a while, I don’t know that this will really be used by Lu Bu!

Yesterday someone asked Zhuge Liang why he came here, ahem, it’s like this, Zhuge’s family is from Shandong, but his father was an official in Taishan, and then his father died, and his uncle came to take care of them (see the one on Suona) and ran away After leaving Xuzhou, his uncle was Liu Biao's subordinate. Later, his uncle's official position was robbed, so he took his family to join Liu Biao. So he took his younger siblings to Longzhong to study farming.

That is to say, their family is running from east to southwest, passing through Yanzhou (hee hee hee hee hee)
