Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 624

I can't help but think to myself.

This... should be the third question, right?

Unexpectedly, the three seemingly simple questions are a battle of wits and courage!

They... must be trying to test my mentality and ruthlessness!

Cao Cao Xia Houzhe was so shocked that he didn't know what to say!

The two of you look at me and I look at you, with dumbfounded eyes!

'Is this kid too cruel?It's fine to scold your own father, but you don't spare any effort when you scold yourself? '

Cao Cao nodded secretly: "The brain circuit is really unusual, I didn't expect... he actually grew up eating shit!"hiss…'

Xia Houzhe pondered for a while, then returned a look.

'Wife Cao, look...or is it just him?People who are so ruthless to themselves must be even more ruthless to their enemies! '

'I agree!Anyway, with you in charge, you are not afraid of making troubles!I also want to see how ruthless this He is! '

Cao Cao coughed lightly and resumed his serious demeanor.

He signed his name on the admission notice in his hand!

"Zhang He, your courage and viciousness have touched our hearts!"

"Congratulations, you have been admitted!"

Chapter 722 Xi Zhicai: Why...don't give me a little more time

When Zhang He received the red admission notice, he was filled with joy!

Jump up to two meters high!

"Oh! Thank you, my lord, thank you sir!"

Looking at the smiling Zhang Yun, Xia Houzhe couldn't help but sigh.

"Jun Yi! Although some words may hurt people, but I really want to know, why do you split a sentence into several sentences?"

"Could it be... really stuttering? Why don't you ask Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo to have a look?"

Zhang He was taken aback.

"Stuttering? Who said I stuttered? I just heard Xu You say that it seems highly educated to split speech like this!"

"I haven't read many books, I'm afraid everyone will look down on me! So..."

Xia Houzhe and Cao Cao stroked his forehead with his hand and waved his hand.

"No need, do you think our people here are very qualified? You can go out and swear at them, and when they yell back at you, the swear words can be different!"

"I'm afraid you don't know, right? We have a class in New Oriental School, which specializes in swearing! After you learn it, it's perfect for calling battles! One call is accurate!"

"They have all attended training courses, so there is no need to talk about quality!"

Zhang He blinked, so... everyone has no quality?

Then what should I wear?

"Mr. Xie remind me, Emma! I'm so tired of pretending! My tongue can't be straightened!"

Zhang Yun bowed his hand and resigned, and his whole body was much more relaxed.

When he walked out holding the admission letter, everyone showed envious expressions.

The deputy general was appointed, and the soldiers were successfully selected in the next few days.

A total of 4 people were selected out of 1!

All of them are high-spirited elites!

And Cao Cao's arsenal workshop was also established under Zhou Cang's rush.

Cao Cao obtained the drawings from Xia Houzhe, began to make molds, and invested in gun manufacturing!

After Xia Houzhe promoted and improved ironmaking technology many times, Cao Ying's industrial level has long surpassed this era by a lot!

Since the arsenal was built, Xia Houzhe's mansion was heavily guarded, except for Cao Ying, his confidantes who often came to visit.

Even if mosquitoes want to fly in, they have to report!

Time passes little by little!

Cao Ying is like a huge machine, running in an orderly manner.

Jizhou is deploying defense lines, Xi Zhicai Xun Yu is digging canals!

The shipyards in Wancheng and Shouchun are also building ships desperately to transport food, grass and troops!

In the school field, all the generals are mobilizing their troops!

194 years have been spent in busyness.

The plan for a year lies in spring.

It's the season of all things in heat again!

But this obviously has nothing to do with the generals of Cao Ying, their busy heads are smoking.

In the conference hall, all the generals looked exhausted!

Because of Wuhuan's pressure, they haven't been able to live well for years.

Ju Shou took the battle report and stood up with a serious face.

"My lord! The situation in the north is not good! Wuhuan has launched an offensive! Xian Yufu is attacking Yuyang!"

"Although there is the Great Wall for defense, Xianyufu's own troops are not many, and he was almost defeated! Fortunately, Zang Ba and Tianyu led troops to support them, and they temporarily repelled Wuhuan's first attempt!"

"But Zang Ba sent a letter saying that the three counties of Tadun in Liaoxi, Su Puyan in Liaodong, Wuyan in Youbeiping, and Wuhuan have joined forces!"

"The subordinates are worried... I am afraid that the next attack will be more violent!"

Cao Cao nodded and said nothing, and set his sights on Xi Zhicai.

"Zhicai! How many guns do you have?"

Exhausted, Xi Zhicai took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Cao Cao.

I can't help but cough!

"Cough cough cough! My lord! At present, according to Yuan Yi's standard, 7000 flintlock guns have been made overtime, and there are still a few thousand missing! Currently, the [-] flintlock guns have been put into training!"

"The current workshop is divided into two sides, and the other side is manufacturing gunpowder and bullets in large quantities!"

"All the consumed iron ore... wood... wages... are all recorded in the booklet, please read it! Cough cough..."

Xi Zhicai finished speaking quickly, but felt that his breathing had become difficult.

There was a ho ho sound in his throat.

Today's Xi Zhicai is Cao Ying's accountant...

Specialized in overhead and supervision of manufacturing.

Who made him and Xun Yu excellent in domestic affairs!

Xun Yu had to dig canals, so Xi Zhicai could only do these things.

Cao Cao glanced at the brochure, looking at the densely packed words, he felt dizzy!

He quickly closed the booklet, looking at Xi Zhicai with a look of relief on his face.

"If you have ambition, you will settle accounts for me. I am at ease! No need to watch, I, Cao Cao, believe you!"

Xi Zhicai was so moved that he made a bow!

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust! Ho~ho~"

Cao Cao naturally noticed Xi Zhicai's strangeness.

Cao Cao frowned: "Zhicai, your complexion...why is it so yellow? Yellow with white, is it sick? Come here! Go find Zhang Jihua Tuo!"

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands: "My lord, it's all right! Don't worry about it! A few minor illnesses are not a big problem!"

As soon as these words fell, Guo Jia stood up immediately, with worry written all over his face.

"My lord! Don't listen to his nonsense! This guy has been desperately supervising the Arsenal and the canal for the past two months!"

"I often do accounts all night and check the quality of muskets! Busy traveling between Jizhou and Yanzhou!"

"I'm tired and sleep less, and I'm sick from overwork now! I asked Hua Tuo to show him last night, and Hua Tuo said... it's a gas disease!"

Although Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai often fight and quarrel, their relationship has always been very good.

He said he was good at paddling, but this guy didn't know what was wrong, so he suddenly became conscientious!

When Cao Cao heard this, he quickly stood up from the sofa.

He walked quickly to Xi Zhicai, took his hand, and helped him onto the sofa.

Full of concern, he said: "Zhicai, you are my right-hand man. If you are too busy, you can tell me, and I will send you more people!"

"Why did you make yourself look like this? Everything in my Cao Ying is now on the right track, full of talents! Don't ruin your body, I still need your help!"

Xi Zhicai looked at him suspiciously, and said half-jokingly, half-jokingly.

"My lord, are you sure you're not afraid that I'll burp and be counted as a death in the line of duty, so you don't want to pay that pension?"

Hearing Xi Zhicai's lively words, Cao Cao stared, laughed and cursed.

"Nonsense! How can this kind of thing be put on the table! You just need to know! If you burp, your wife and I will take care of you!"

"I'll let Chen Qun and Xin Pi take your hands temporarily! Take a good rest for a while!"

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.

The conversation of the chief minister made Yuan Shao's surrender see something different.

They saw the... warmth in Cao Yingzhong!

It's not just intrigues, fighting for power and profit!

Such a working atmosphere is really reassuring.

"My lord! The musket is such an important thing, I don't trust others to do it! I can still persist!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head, he has his persistence!

The musket is an important weapon for them to crusade against Wuhuan, so they must not lose it!

Don't look at Wuhuan as if it doesn't sound like much, but in reality, Yuan Shao before is not half as strong as them!

He could imagine the dangers involved in the crusade against Wuhuan.

And Cao Cao entrusted him with such an important task, that is also trust in him!

Scholar die for the confidant!

Cao Cao's brows gradually frowned: "We'll talk about this later, after the meeting, follow me to my son-in-law's house!"

"Hua Tuo and the others can't do it, let my son-in-law treat it! He should have a way to cure Qi disease! By the way... look at how the Musketeers are training!"

Cao Cao patted Xi Zhicai on the shoulder and sat back in his seat.

Looking at the battle report that Jushou handed over, Cao Cao's eyes were cold!

"Come here! Give me an order to transfer Pan Feng, the guard of Qiao County, to the northern part of Jizhou!"

"Let him lead [-] soldiers and horses to support Tian Yuzangba! Hold on for at most another month, and when the canal is dug, our army will march north!"

"This expedition will definitely eradicate Wuhuan Xianbei!"

Cao Cao commanded domineeringly.

After the meeting was over, he took Xi Zhicai Guo Jia and others to Xia Houzhe's house.

In the manor, as soon as a few people parked their tricycles and bicycles, they heard the shouts of men and women.

"Look at my Lu Bu activate the skill, kill!"

"Haha! Lao Dian, the play will not flash in your hand, right? Let's see if you're cool!"

Lu Bu's arrogant voice came out.
