Although Xiahou Dun was worried about Cao Cao's situation, Lu Yan's attitude finally made him temporarily compromise.
"What does this little pressure mean to Boss Cao?"
Lu Yan knew how difficult it was for Boss Cao to start a business in the early stages of official history. Now these difficulties are simply a piece of cake for Cao Cao.
So people, if you don’t push yourself, you will never know how tough you are...
Arriving outside Pengcheng, Lu Yan observed the situation in Pengcheng with a telescope behind a hidden hillside far away.
Xiahou Dun was very curious, why did Lu Yan always point the long tube at the enemy?
Moreover, they are still far away from the enemy. They just look like black spots, so how can they observe the enemy's situation?
After hesitating for a long time, Xiahou Dun was finally driven by curiosity and came to Lu Yan's side and asked: "Um... Changsheng, what is the use of this thing in your hand?"
Lu Yan put down the telescope, glanced at Xiahou Dun, and replied calmly: "It's for observing the enemy's situation."
"How can this thing observe the enemy's situation?"
Lu Yan was not a petty person. He handed the telescope to Xiahoudun and said, "It's called a telescope. You point the big end toward the distance and the small end toward your own eyes."
Xiahou Dun doubtfully took the telescope and followed Lu Yan's instructions.
"Ouch!!!" As soon as he put it in front of his eyes, Xiahou Dun was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. He couldn't help but screamed and waved his hand to throw the telescope out.
Lu Yan did not stop Xiahou Dun's actions, but said teasingly: "A telescope is worth ten thousand gold, you can throw it out and try it."
"Ah!?" Xiahou Dun suddenly retracted his hand holding the telescope, and after reacting, he hugged the telescope firmly in his arms.
"I... Changsheng... I just... saw those people..." Xiahou Dun stuttered because he didn't know how to describe the scene he just saw.
"You see those people seem to be much closer to you, right?" Lu Yan explained for him.
"Yes, yes! That's it!" Xiahou Dun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, looking very funny.
Lu Yan replied: "With it, you can observe the enemy's situation as if you were at close range."
"And I can discover the enemy first, and then arrange it calmly, waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap I laid!" Xiahou Dun took over Lu Yan's words, and then played with the telescope, feeling like he couldn't put it down.
"You're right!" Lu Yan nodded in agreement, then stretched out his palm and said, "Give it back to me."
Xiahou Dun turned a blind eye to Lu Yan's action of asking for the telescope back. Instead, he asked Lu Yan: "Uh... Changsheng, how many more of these do you have?"
Seeing Xiahou Dun acting like this, he wanted to beg for it.
"The workshop tried its best to make two..." Lu Yan said, barely maintaining a calm expression on his face.
Xiahou Dun also knew the scale of Chen Liu's workshop. He was a little stunned and asked: "No way? Is this thing really... so precious?"
"It's very precious!" Lu Yan nodded and replied seriously.
"You just said...there are two?"
"The other one is going to be given to Mr. Cao."
Lu Yan's words made Xiahou Dun's slightly bright eyes gradually dim, "Oh...it's such a treasure, what a pity..."
"What's a pity? If you want it, just go back to the workshop and recreate it..." Lu Yan's attitude suddenly changed.
"Really?" Xiahou Dun's interest was piqued by Lu Yan, and he asked with bright eyes: "When can it be recreated?"
"Well..." Lu Yan's lips curled up slightly, and he thought to himself, "I've taken the bait! It's time to kill the big dog owner again!"
"The workshop is short of manpower. If you want to make another one, it will be very difficult if you don't have one for a year and a half!"
"Is there still a shortage of people?" Xiahou Dun was stunned and asked, "Then continue to recruit!"
"I don't have any money... I'm living this life... just don't talk about it!" Lu Yan shook his head and sighed.
"Lack of people and money?" Xiahou Dun suddenly realized, and he patted his chest proudly and said: "It's easy to say, many of the servants in a certain family are craftsmen, I will give you fifty, and then fund the expansion of the workshop with 1,000 gold.
What do you think?"
"Boss is awesome!" Lu Yan gave a thumbs up, complimented and then suddenly remembered something and said: "Oh, by the way, if you want Miaocai, Zixiao or Zilian, you can also make a reservation in advance, the price is just
Just the same as yours."
Lu Yan knew that Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and others were all related to the Chamber of Commerce, covertly or covertly. After all, the current president of the Chamber of Commerce was Cao Hong. Lu Yan would feel strange if they did not get involved.
Cao Hong has made a lot of money in these years, and these brothers are naturally very rich as well.
Killing them, Lu Yan didn't have the slightest psychological burden...
"Okay!" Xiahou Dun smiled cheerfully and asked, "But we must first agree that the first telescope built later will belong to me!"
Lu Yan patted his chest and said, "As it should be!"
Lu Yan was very happy when he unintentionally won a few more big orders.
However, after calming down a little from the joy, Lu Yan said to Xiahou Dun again: "Yuan Rang, there is something you must remember."
"What's the matter?" Seeing Lu Yan's expression was unusually solemn, Xiahou Dun also put away his smile and asked.
"Telescopes must not fall into enemy hands!"
Xiahou Dun lowered his head, looked at the telescope, and said: "Don't worry, Changsheng, the mirror will be there when you are alive, but it will be destroyed when you die!"
"Well..." Lu Yan nodded, took back the telescope from Xiahou Dun, and continued to observe the situation under Pengcheng.
"Should I say Peng Cheng is strong or Chen Deng is awesome? I really didn't expect that he could hold on for such a long time."
Lu Yan was thinking about ways to defeat the enemy, but he felt that there were too few soldiers in his hands, and some clever women could not make a living without straw.
At this time, Military Advisor Xun You, who had been watching silently from the side, seemed to have a weak sense of presence.
After glancing at Xiahou Dun, who seemed to have the words "I was slaughtered" engraved on his forehead, he raised his hand and said to Lu Yan: "Lu Qiaoqi, I think that if our army can contact Chen Deng,
If we cooperate inside and outside, we might have a chance to defeat the enemy."
"But how can I contact Chen Deng?"
"Tomorrow we will charge for a while and tell Chen Deng that we have troops outside. With his wisdom, he should be able to see our intention."
Lu Yan frowned lightly, thinking this was a good idea, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
After saying that, Lu Yan suddenly asked Xun You: "Gongda, are you interested in telescopes?"
Xun You's mouth twitched and he thought to himself: "Do I look like a fool like Xiahou Dun?"
"Sorry, all the money from your family was used to buy books..."
Lu Yan nodded to express his understanding, but he thought in his heart:
"When I get back, I'll get some literati stuff to show off my coquettishness. Let's see if you sultry guys will fall for it!"
