Since Hua Tuo came to Cao's family, he would come to Cao Shuo to treat Wang Yue every day.

Wang Yue's situation gradually improved.

As for Cao Shu, he finally didn't have to practice in the same posture every day for a long time, and Wang Yan had already started teaching him swordsmanship routines.

Cao Shuo practices swords in the morning and practices Lu Bu’s halberd technique in the evening.

As for the use of bows and arrows and powerful crossbows, he was a skill that he had mastered before he came to this era, so he didn't need to practice it specifically.

Since returning to Xudu, more than twenty days have passed in a blink of an eye.

The assassins already had a place to settle in Xudu, and Qingchen led them.

The five hundred Jingzhou troops brought back by Cao Shu were also incorporated into his command.

At first, the soldiers of Jingzhou were still homesick.

After a while, they found that being a soldier under Cao Shu was far more free than being under Cai Mao.

In addition to the harder and more stringent exercises than before, the food, clothing and consumption are much better than in the past.

Especially the street west of Xudu City.

Everyone in the military camp is looking forward to taking turns to have a good time and enjoy it.

It has been a few days since Ji Ling was caught.

Cao Shu never visited him.

No matter how strong the general is, he locked him up and hung for a while, and no matter how powerful he is, he will lose his energy.

Early that morning, after practicing swordsmanship, Cao Shu felt that he needed to meet Ji Ling.

He took several personal guards to leave the Cao family, and rushed to the military camp where he was stationed.

There was still some distance from the military camp, and Cao Shu heard the shouts of killing coming from the school ground.

The heroic shouting and killing was particularly refreshing. When people passing by nearby people would subconsciously glance at the gate.

When he learned that Cao Shu was coming, Sima Yi, Wei Yan and others hurriedly came out.

After the greeting, Cao Shu said to the two of them: "I'm quite busy lately and I don't have much time to run to the military camp. Thank you for your hard work in training the soldiers."

"It's not hard to train soldiers." Sima Yi said: "Have you heard that Sun Ce and Chen Yu have recently started fighting. Chen Yu was defeated and went to Hebei to join Yuan Shao."

"I either practice swords or halberds all day long. I have neglected a lot of things outside." Cao Shu said: "Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong and there was a natural danger of the Yangtze River. After he became a big shot, the Sun family would belong to the south."

"Some days recently, soldiers always ask when to fight Zhang Xiu." Sima Yi said: "If you keep soldiers for too long, it will not be a solution if you don't let them fight."

"I can't stand it in just a few months?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile: "They are so warlike?"

"It's not that I have tasted the sweetness of following the young master in the past." Sima Yi said: "Many soldiers even said that as long as the young master leads his troops, they can not only come back alive from the battlefield, but also gain a lot of benefits."

"That's because we didn't meet a strong enemy." Cao Shu said: "They may have almost forgotten the defeat of Wancheng."

"I have seen the young master using troops like a god." Wei Yan said: "It is not surprising that the soldiers have these ideas."

"A person as good as me, I will not fight unsure of the battle." Cao Shu grinned and patted Sima Yi and Wei Yan's arms respectively: "I don't have the confidence to win, I won't let the soldiers die easily!"

"How is Ji Ling?" Cao Shuo asked.

"He is still imprisoned in a cell!" Sima Yi said: "He is not polite. He eats well every day and sleeps soundly. He often yells to eat meat!"

"Young Master, can I beat him up?" Wei Yan asked suddenly.

"Why?" Cao Shuo asked, "Has he offended Wen Chang?"

"Once I thought, it's not a big deal for the young master to raise such an idle person, so I wanted to convince him to work, but I didn't expect that guy would not eat the soft and hard." Wei Yan said, "I really want to beat him!"

"Ji Ling followed Yuan Shu for many years, and Yuan Shu is still alive now. How could he be willing to surrender to us?" Cao Shu said: "General Lu defeated Yuan Shu a few days ago. In my opinion, Yuan Shu will definitely not give up. He will sooner or later cause trouble. Our Cao family may have fought with Yuan Shu before he even fought Zhang Xiu."

"The young master thinks that Gong Cao will beat Yuan Shu first?" Sima Yi said: "Zhang Xiu is still in Wancheng..."

"Yuan Shao, Hebei, and our Cao family have reached a tacit understanding." Cao Shu said: "He is busy competing with Gongsun Zan for Youzhou and has no intention of looking south. Xuzhou Lu Bu also owe the Cao family favors now, and with his personality, he will never cause trouble for the Cao family first. Zhang Xiu suffered a great loss in Ye County a few days ago, and I burned Wancheng to pieces. Why do you still have the intention to cause trouble for our Cao family? The only thing that is unstoppable is Yuan Shu."

Cao Shu said to Wei Yan again: "Wen Chang doesn't have to argue with Ji Ling. It's not too late to recruit him when we defeat Yuan Shu. How could the person I caught with tried my best to let him run away?"

"Follow the young master." Wei Yan asked, "Haoist went to Xiangyang this time, have you seen Wen Pin?"

"No!" Cao Shuo said: "I only saw Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai."

"What happened to Zhongda before I left?" Cao Shuo asked Sima Yi.

"The military baton has been sent to the soldiers." Sima Yi said: "The stirrups are also ready!"

"In addition to these, there are many equipment to be improved in the future." Cao Shuo said: "The armor is heavy, and I was thinking about whether it can be replaced with paper armor."

"Cai Hou Paper?" Sima Yi was stunned: "That thing can't even write, it can be broken when rubbed. How can it be made into armor?"

"Of course not using Cai Hou paper." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Sima Yi: "Let's look for some craftsmen, and I'll ask them if they can polish the pulp more delicately and then compact it. As long as the thickness and hardness are enough, it's perfect to make armor."

"Okay! I'll ask the craftsman for a question." Although Sima Yi agreed, he did not agree with Cao Shu's statement in his heart.

Caihou Paper is not widely used, and in addition to its high cost, there is another reason.

The texture of the paper is too thick, so it is better to write directly on silk than to write on Caihou paper.

If the idea of ​​using paper to make armor is spread, many people will definitely think that Cao Shu is crazy.

However, Cao Shu didn't think so.

He had been a soldier and was also very interested in ancient weapons and protective gear.

He remembered that in the information he had read, the Song Dynasty army widely used paper armor.

The paper armor is hard and hard. Due to the fine craftsmanship, it is not afraid of sun and rain.

Some generals even wanted to exchange ten pairs of iron armor and people for a set of paper armor.

In the Song Dynasty, where economic and technological development were very developed, the emergence of paper armor was not surprising.

However, it is probably not so easy to build paper armor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the technological level is very backward.

It’s a pity that although Cao Shu knew these things, he didn’t know how to make paper.

Thinking of Paper Armor, all he could do was to assign tasks and let the craftsmen find ways.

Human wisdom is infinite.

Although the technology level is low, if a concept is proposed, the craftsmen will focus on it, and miracles may really happen.

Regarding paper armor, all Cao Shu can count on is miracles.... Friends who are reading books, you can search for "" and find this site as soon as possible.
