Hearing that Cao Xiong didn't know how to repent, and dared to talk back, Cao Cao was actually amused, the boy who feels affection, casually said that he was going to put the blame on his father!
Immediately, he deliberately raised his voice, and scolded angrily: "What do you mean, it's all your father's fault for chopping up purple bamboo and stuffing people into wooden horses?"
"My son didn't say that!"
Hearing Cao Xiong's answer like this, Cao Cao thought he was admitting his mistake, snorted coldly, and was just about to speak.
But I heard Cao Xiong mutter again: "The son didn't say it was the father's fault, it was you, the father who said it yourself!"
As soon as this remark came out, Cao Cao became even more angry.
Unexpectedly, the fifth son, Cao Xiong, pretended to be sick for five years, but he didn't learn his skills. This sophistry has learned a lot.Just come and listen to his fallacies.
"What is this riding behind you?" Cao Cao changed the subject, pointing to the wooden ox and wooden horse behind Cao Xiong, and asked.
"Wooden cows and flowing horses. The whole body is made of purple bamboo. They can walk, and four people can be filled in their stomachs! They are very well-made. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you might not be able to see them in this life." what about this!"
Speaking of wooden cows and horses, Zhu Youxiao in the live broadcast room was very interested, and he talked endlessly to the emperors about how he improved, how to expand the capacity, and how to speed up the speed. Two people can further upgrade on this basis!
Cao Xiong was worried that Cao Cao would not be able to understand Mu Niulu Liuma's professional knowledge, so he picked some simple words from Zhu Youxiao's words and explained them to Cao Cao.
It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't take it seriously!
"Is it possible that you want to ride this into the battlefield? Others travel thousands of miles a day, but you travel ten miles a day?"
Cao Xiong thought, why is Cao Cao so stupid?I have to guide him well.
"This wooden ox and horse can run fast. It can be filled with four people, and it can travel seventy miles a day. If you are skilled, it can even go eighty miles. The mountains, rivers and mud tiles are like walking on the ground! Does my father still think he is a plaything? "
"Fill four people, eighty miles a day!" After hearing this number, Xu Chu frowned, and immediately became vigilant, thinking that if this wooden horse spreads out, what's the deal?
In the north, the remnants of the Yuan family assassinated Cao Cao many times. If there were such a wooden cow and a horse, they could have filled the stomach of the wooden horse with weapons and transported them into the city quietly without anyone noticing.
In this way, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't match so many shining weapons.
"Cao Sikong!" Xu Chu reported his discovery to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was all focused on blaming the five sons, but he was suddenly enlightened by Xu Chu, not because he was worried, but more because of joy!
Because he discovered another function of this wooden cow and horse.
Eighty miles a day, can fill four people!
If this is used in the transportation of food and grass, it will greatly save manpower.
In a simple calculation, one cart can transport eight bags of rice, and three soldiers need to consign it.If a wooden cow and horse can hold four people, it can hold twelve bags of rice and can walk by itself, only needing one person to escort it.
In this way, wooden cattle and horses are responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, and the guard soldiers only need to concentrate on defending against sneak attacks.
This wooden cow and horse will greatly benefit the battlefield!
Chapter 21
"Xu Chu, untie Xiong'er!"
Cao Cao ordered quietly.
"In addition, send this wooden cow and horse to Liu Ye, the head of the workshop, in the dark, and replace all the guards in Jingxuan Pavilion. The existing guards are all under house arrest. Make sure that today's events cannot be spread outside."
Xu Chu replied: "Yes."
Walking up to Cao Xiong, he untied the rope that bound him.
Then he took all the guards of Jingxuan Pavilion and walked towards the martial arts field.
These confidant guards specially arranged by Cao Zhang don't know yet, once they leave, if they want to see the sky outside, they don't know when it will be.
Cao Xiong was overjoyed, "Finally, the third brother Cao Zhang's eyeliner has been pulled out."
Then he glanced at the physician Liu Yiwen beside him, and thought to himself, "It's your turn next!"
Seeing that the guards had retreated, Cao Cao slowly walked up to Cao Xiong: "Xiong'er, does anyone else know about the wooden cow and the horse?"
Cao Xiong didn't answer, but stretched out his right palm: "Five!"
"What!" Cao Cao didn't understand what it meant.
"To make a pair of wooden oxen and horses, I hired five carpenters outside the door. Father, since I confiscated them, at least five carpenters must be compensated to me! Father will pay for the wages!"
Cao Cao was taken aback!
Now in Sikong Mansion, is there anyone who dares to bargain with him?
He asked inconceivably, "Do you dare to ask your father for someone?"
There was a burst of joy in my heart, because I learned from Cao Xiong that a pair of wooden oxen and horses can be completed in a short time with only five carpenters?The implication is that it can be produced in large quantities and put into food escort.
This is great news for Cao Cao who is about to go south to Jingzhou.
You need to know how many times Cao Cao has had a headache because of the problem of food and grass since Chen Liu started his army!
Cao Xiong didn't want to let go: "To make this wooden cow and horse, even if you don't count the purple wood, just hiring these carpenters will cost you a lot of money.
What's more, it was created by the child with great effort.
Among the ingenious details, only the child knows, if the father doesn't even give five carpenters, I still have a lot of thoughts, can I let the child become a carpenter himself?Created independently one by one? "
Hearing Cao Xiong's words, Cao Cao was not angry but happy.
Just now I am pleased that the cost of Mu Niu Liu Ma is low and the production is fast!Now I heard that the fifth son, Cao Xiong, actually has other ideas, and maybe he can invent something that is beneficial to the three armies.
At the moment, he laughed out loud.
"What a carpenter, I, Xiong'er, have really improved!"
Carefully asked Cao Xiong about the operation method of the wooden cow and the horse.
Seeing Xu Chu returning with a new-faced bodyguard, he ordered: "Go and inform Liu Ye, the head of the workshop, to let Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong go to his side as his deputy! He will take office in three days."
Cao Cao's mind is delicate, since the fifth son Cao Xiong has such a great talent, it is even more necessary to let him go to the workshop to show off his skills, call in five mere carpenters, what will happen?
I thought that Cao Xiong should be satisfied with this, so Cao Xiong called Xu Chu directly.
"Wait a minute!"
Cao Xiong said to Cao Cao: "I don't want to be my assistant. If I go to the workshop, I have to let Liu Ye be my assistant. Otherwise, my father should call five carpenters."
Cao Cao thought it was a joke.
Haha laughed, "Whatever Xiong'er said, that's what it is."
He is an old man, so he can't afford to argue with his son.What's more, to manage the studio, he is a 15-year-old boy, how can he convince the public?
But Cao Cao didn't stop him. If Cao Xiong had to go, it would be good to let him go.
He doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.
Unexpectedly, Cao Xiong stretched out his hand again, but last time it was the right hand that begged the five carpenters, this time it was the left hand.
"The father has to give the boy a handbook, otherwise, who will listen to the boy when he goes to the workshop."
Cao Cao was shocked!
He said casually, the fifth son, Cao Xiong, really climbed the ladder, and he has a lot of appetite to be the head of the workshop?
After pretending to be sick for five years, he was very thoughtful!
Without his letter, Liu Ye definitely would not obey him, but if the letter came out, Liu Ye, who is very loyal, must be looking at Cao Sikong's face, and he would not be as knowledgeable as this kid.
Chapter 22 Sophistry Talent
"The fifth son is coercing his father?" Cao Cao glared angrily.
"Don't dare, just now my father promised me to be the head of the workshop. Besides, if my father wants to make wooden cows and horses, he will never be able to do it without my guidance! A handwritten order from my father is in exchange for the guarantee of the supply of food and grass for the three armies going south. , father picked up a big deal!"
What Cao Xiong said made some sense.
These five sons really have a talent for sophistry!
Cao Cao agreed.He hastily wrote a letter and handed it to him.
How did Cao Cao know that this handbook was not what Cao Xiong wanted, it was Zhu Youxiao in the live broadcast room, who must go to the studio to be the boss!
Otherwise...otherwise, just mindlessly swipe barrage in the live broadcast room!
Just now because of Zhu Youxiao's meritorious deeds, Cao Xiong couldn't keep silent.
I had no choice but to agree to him, under the guise of begging for a carpenter, but in fact the purpose was to settle in the workshop.
So as to satisfy Zhu Youxiao's sense of accomplishment.
Seeing that Cao Cao agreed, Zhu Youxiao was very happy, and even issued a barrage of "la la la, la la la" in the live broadcast room!
Zhu Youxiao was happy, but Cao Cao was not.
In the Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao was so overwhelmed by his son that he couldn't write a handwritten letter, how could Cao Cao not feel aggrieved.
Then think of the fact that the fifth son, Cao Xiong, pretended to be ill for so many years and left early during the exam.Cao Cao felt that if he didn't take advantage of the present to discipline him, he might not know what to do next time.
Suddenly thinking of the purple bamboo cut off by Cao Xiong, he wanted to see how Cao Xiong argued.
"Wooden cows and horses, if you use ordinary wood, can't you make them?
Cao Xiong replied: "Yes!"
"Then why did you chop up father's purple bamboo? This is the purple bamboo forest that father is looking forward to seeing!"
Cao Cao's words seemed calm, but they were actually extremely dangerous.None of the kings in the past was willing to let others touch their own things, let alone split the very precious purple bamboo!
In the live broadcast room, bullet screens frequently popped up.
Ying Zheng: "This question is not easy to answer. If someone touches something Gu likes, Gu will cut him in half with a knife!" 』
Liu Bang: "Xiang Yu burned your Efang Palace, why didn't you split him in half?" 』
Xiang Yu: "I am the Overlord of Western Chu, how can I be afraid that the First Emperor will attack me."It's you, Liu Bang, who slept with the wife of the first emperor, and you don't know if you touched something he likes. 』
Liu Bang: "Xiang Yu, you villain! 』
Ying Zheng: "Don't change the subject, I'm going to kill you with one knife!" 』
Zhu Youxiao also complained: "This Cao Cao is too stingy. When I was the emperor, let alone the purple bamboo, the more precious tortoise shell bamboo, I had to have a basket chopped up a day." ""
Cao Xiong secretly sighed, these emperors really didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's encouragement to split the purple bamboo, he said in a euphemistic name: "Purple is beautiful, so how can there be such a troublesome thing!"
At that moment, he coughed and said to Cao Cao: "Father, everything this child does is to relieve father's worries!"
Share your worries?
Hearing these two words, Cao Cao was happy. Did you split my purple bamboo, or share my worries?
Cao Xiong continued: "Father, do you think that you are looking forward to this purple bamboo growing into a purple bamboo forest every day, are you aggrieved?
Such a small piece, even if you, father, have survived it for ten or eight years, when it grows up, isn't it just the purple bamboo forest in this corner of Sikong Mansion?
If we attacked Bashu, wouldn’t all the purple bamboos in Bashu belong to my father?Still need to spend these ten or eight years? "
Needless to say, Cao Cao heard Cao Xiong's words very happily.
Chapter 23 Exam Answers
But the problem is, if you say attack Bashu, you will attack Bashu?
The entire army of Cao Cao's counselors was about to quarrel because of the formulation of the marching route to the south.
The biggest controversy is that after the capture of Jingzhou, it was the eastward approach to Chibi to attack Sun Quan at close range!
Or go west to Yong'an to attack Liu Zhang's Bashu!
The two seem to have little difference between the east and the west, but in fact they are far and near, which is the key to whether they can rule the world.
