Chapter 119 The world is like chess, and Yin Lin is the chess player
Yanzhou, Juancheng, back hall of the government office.
All the soldiers stood far away. Even Xun Yu's closest confidants did not know which guest Xun Sima was meeting today.
There is a table, two people are sitting on their knees, Xun Yu is on the left, and the guest is on the right... What is a bit strange is that the guest is wearing a bamboo hat, and there is a layer of black gauze under the bamboo hat.
Xun Yu slowly filled the tea cup and pushed it in front of the guest. The guest took it and remained silent, or it could be said that he was waiting for Xun Yu to speak first.
"A few days ago, Mr. Ming sent me a letter, saying that Mr. De was coming, and I was a little worried... But after seeing Mr. De today, I finally let go of all the worries in my heart!"
Xun Yu spoke slowly, and with such an opening statement, Xun Yu, who was always good at speaking, thought for a long time.
After all, according to the current situation, Cao De is already a dead man, and it is not easy for him to show up at this stall. This is a matter that affects the whole body.
If the news spreads that Cao Song and Cao De are not dead, then in terms of war...Cao Cao captures Pi City, and the morale of the soldiers of the three armies will definitely be affected.
As for the overall situation, the princes from all walks of life will also feel that they have been fooled by Cao Cao.
"Xun Sima, Cao De and Mr. Cao fled to Langya County early in the morning. Mr. Lu sent the strong man Dian Wei to rescue "Wei De" and Aweng "Old Mr. Wei". Wei De is so lucky to be able to meet Xun Sima!"
Cao De took off his bamboo hat...
Xun Yu nodded, very good, it is best for Cao Song and Cao De to die forever. As for...Old Master Wei and Young Master Wei De, there is no harm in walking in Yanzhou.
A few days ago, Cao Cao mentioned this in his letter...
It is not difficult to ask Xun Yu to arrange a new identity for Mr. Cao and Cao De. However, it is very troublesome. However, with Xun Yu's impeccable work style, it can be completed in a few days.
"Cao... no, Mr. Wei De might as well stay in Juancheng for a few days, and I will arrange the rest..." Xun Yu said with a smile...
"Then I'd like to thank Sima Xun." Cao De stood up and bowed his hands respectfully to express his thanks...
Xun Yu went to help him, but he didn't expect that Cao De was still bending down and holding his hand.
"Master Wei De, why is this happening?" Xun Yu asked quickly...
"I still have something to ask for." Cao De's eyes became very sincere, and his waist was bent like an arch bridge.
"Master De, if you have something to say, you may as well say it directly. As long as it is within Xun's ability, he will definitely arrange it..."
"Yes..." Cao De paused. "Can Xun Sima arrange for me to meet... my and Aweng's savior?"
"Do you want to see Lu Gongcao?"
There were too many people around him and it was too complicated, so it was very risky for Cao De to meet him.
If someone recognizes Cao De, it will be detrimental to the overall situation!
Cao De saw Xun Yu's difficulties...
But he still insisted. "Before I came here, Aweng once said that in addition to my new identity, I must go and thank my benefactor for saving my life, and show sympathy for the reconstruction. I also hope that Xun Sima will understand me and kowtow to Aweng."
The mood of a benefactor."
"This..." Xun Yu paced around. He was a cautious person, and he was still evaluating the risks...
To see? Or not to see? That is a question!
This matter may not seem like a big deal, but it is of great relevance. Xun Yu did not dare to agree, but... after all, the person who came here was Mr. Cao's younger brother, and it was the request of Mr. Cao...
"Master De, there's no need to thank you. After I arrange the new identities of you and the old man in the past two days, I will take you to Chenliu County in person. You don't want to reveal your identity, just act as a guard beside me.
, just take a closer look at Lu Gongcao, this is the biggest concession I can make."
Hearing this…
Cao De was excited and excited. "Thank you...Thank you Xun Lingjun."
He knew Xun Yu's difficulties, but how could he save his life? How could he and Awen not even know the face of their benefactor? How... how could they be grateful in their hearts for this?
It was a great honor for Cao De to be able to meet his benefactor up close.
"Master De, please stay at the government office these days. Go out as little as possible, let alone socialize with others." Xun Yu did not forget his sincere reminder. "Even if you have a new identity, it will be the same.
This is a troubled time, and Ming Gong cannot withstand the slightest disturbance and chaos!"
"Wei De, remember Xun Sima's teachings!" Cao De thanked him again and again.
"Drink tea, the tea is almost cold." Xun Yu helped Cao De add more tea...
While adding tea, he went through the incident completely in his mind... Looking back, the more he savored the details, the more emotional and surprised Xun Yu felt in his heart.
Lu Yu, or Yin Lin, what kind of mysterious young man is he?
In the whole incident, without any warning, he accurately predicted that Cao Song and Cao De were in danger, and sent Dian Wei to secretly protect him. To achieve this step... is incredible.
But the most powerful part was the next step. He released the news of the tragic deaths of Cao Song and Cao De, but hid the living Cao Song and Cao De at the foot of Mount Tai.
It is no exaggeration to say...it was precisely this move that revived Cao Gong's situation. Perhaps, since he expected that Cao Song's fleet would be plundered, he had already begun to deploy a plan to capture Xuzhou...
With such a layout and such a vision, who can match it?
But now, most of Xuzhou has fallen into the hands of Duke Cao, Yanzhou's rear is stable, and the person who made the first contribution... who else can he leave behind?
Haha, Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the world is like a chess game, and Yinlin is the chess player.
Thinking of this, Xun Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. Today's young people think so carefully. It's hard to accept it!
etc…
Recently I heard that Mrs. Ding of Chenliu County asked her eldest daughter Cao Mu to become a disciple of Miss Cai Yan. This move is very meaningful. Cao Mu's golden hair age is quite similar to Lu Yu's age!
But then again...
Xun Yu was thinking that he and Tang had a daughter, and Mrs. Ding wanted to be Yinlin's mother-in-law. Xun Yu was also thinking, could she be Yinlin's father-in-law?
Xun Yu felt that he could also do such a thing by sending his daughter to become a disciple of Miss Cai Yan... As the saying goes, if a person has no shame, he is invincible in the world.
…
…
Chenliu County, Cai Mansion.
"Yawn" After a long sleep, Lu Yu got dressed under the maid's clothes, rinsed his mouth... and was ready to go out to face a new day.
It's better to go home and feel comfortable. His picky mouth can only eat ingredients cooked by Sister Zhao Ji with relish.
One thing to say is that the food in this era was really light, and most of it was steamed. Without some special techniques, the food would be simply unpalatable.
Lu Yu opened the door and planned to go to have breakfast. Today... Sister Zhaoji's school will start classes as usual. After breakfast, Lu Yu will go to "train" with Sister Zhaoji... No, to be precise, it is
Teaching "little Kong Ming" knowledge that is not very smart.
Speaking of which, Lu Yu really raised "Zhuge Liang" as his son. How easy it will be to raise a son to provide for him in old age depends on his son, ah, bah, it depends on whether Kong Ming can shoulder the important task.
With a tireless mood to teach, who would have expected...the door of the room opened, and Lu Yu's eyes were greeted by a woman...She was waiting for Lu Yu in front of the door, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
Not the house-filling maid from last night;
It's not Sister Zhaoji...but a woman that Lu Yu doesn't want to see - Cao Mu!
Darling, I dare to say that last time I had a verbal spat...you weren't convinced by the argument? You still dare to come?
"What? Why are you here so early in the morning? Are you planning to burn down my house?" Lu Yu asked simply...
Not to be alarmist, but considering all the examples of Princess Qinghe's bravery in history, he really felt that Cao Mu could do this.
Who would have thought that Cao Mu didn't say a word... He just bit his red lips with silver teeth and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. "I... I want to learn Baigong?"
Ah...ah...
Lu Yu was in a daze. Didn't this girl say two days ago that all the work was done by subordinates, with all the ugly postures and faces of the superiors?
Have you... figured it out? Do you know the importance of "hundreds of skills"?
Does this make a child teachable?
Haha, Lu Yu stretched out, "Is that easy to say? If you want to learn all kinds of crafts, go to Sister Zhaoji to learn. Sister Zhaoji can do ordinary weaving mats, weaving baskets, etc... By the way, you girls should learn to learn nvhong."
, is this also one of the hundreds of crafts?"
It's just a perfunctory statement, they are all hanging out in Chenliu County, and the two mansions are so close that they can't see each other when they look up, so there is no need to make the relationship so tense...
Who would have thought that Cao Mu would quickly run to Lu Yu's side...
In fact, this book was nothing, but considering her proud figure, Lu Yu felt a little dizzy. He hadn't seen such a famous shaking scene in more than ten years!
Not long after, Cao Mu was only one step away from Lu Yu. She was still very confident, so she just stood up... "I want to learn from you, I want to learn blacksmithing."
"I also want to make the sword of Zheng, the scale of Song, the dagger of Lu, the sword of Wu and Yue... I want to forge a magic weapon that will make the world look down upon me."
Ah...ah...
Lu Yu felt like he was hearing hallucinations in his ears. Cao Mu learned forging? A girl learns forging? Learn from your second uncle's forging!
Looking at her slender arms, slender legs, and slender waist, except for the breasts that are about to come out... there is nothing that looks like they can be forged?
It relies on eight-pack abs and arms that are thicker than Lu Yu's thighs. It doesn't rely on "breasts" at all. Lu Yu murmured in his heart... let alone C, it's useless even for D!
"Forget it..." Lu Yu immediately refused. "You are not suitable... Forging is only for men... How about another one?"
"No...I'm going to learn blacksmithing." Cao Mu was still excited, "As you said two days ago, you don't have to be proficient in learning all kinds of crafts, but you must understand them. Only in this way can you deal with the craftsmen, command them, and
If you weren’t fooled by them, why are you saying you can’t learn now?”
Hey... these words made Lu Yu speechless. What a flexible tongue.
This girl is using Lu Yu's words to fight back against Lu Yu... I'm sorry, you are from the Murong family in Gusu, right? You are a thief who is trying to do the same thing to the other person.
All right…
Lu Yu stopped trying to stop him, and spread his hands slightly. "Let me tell you first, learning forging is very hard. Sometimes in order to forge a weapon and a material, you may have to be unable to sleep for several days. The difficulty in this process is beyond compare.
I advise you to think carefully about your imagination."
"If it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't learn it yet!" Cao Mu said hard...
Cheng... As the saying goes, she won't shed tears until she sees the coffin. Lu Yu didn't refute, and just asked her to follow him. He didn't even bother to eat breakfast. Lu Yu simply took the future Princess Qinghe to see... what the hell is forging!
Once he heard that it was real forging, Cao Mu cheered up and followed Lu Yu closely...
Along the way, he asked questions about blacksmithing, chirping like a little bird, which made Lu Yu sigh with emotion, this is a woman! Confucius was right, women... are troublesome!
…
Lu Yu has a special forging workshop in Longxiao Camp. At present, it seems that it mainly provides equipment for Captain Mojin...
Tomb robbing and bucket-breaking tools like the Luoyang shovel are consumed very quickly, and the required materials must be high-quality iron. Therefore, the forging shop is very busy every day.
However, what Lu Yu took Cao Mu to this time was not the forge in Longxiao Camp, but his own backyard.
There is also a small forging room here, with a built-in furnace, blacksmithing, and forging equipment.
The difference from the forge in Longxiao Camp is that there are only five or six craftsmen here, but... they are all the most outstanding craftsmen in Longxiao Camp.
As for their purpose, it is more of what Wei Yu calls an "experiment"!
You know, Cao Cao had previously ordered that all the best iron and steel should be sent to Lu Yu's Longxiao camp first, and the place where Longxiao camp really used these high-quality iron and steel was this square inch in the backyard of Lu Yu's home.
.
If converted into the same amount of wealth, the money consumed by this small courtyard every month is already an astronomical figure, but... At present, it seems that Lu Yu's "forged steel" business is not progressing smoothly.
This is mainly because, although Lu Yu has rich theoretical knowledge of forged steel, the chemical element table can also be listed clearly.
But... in fact, he has never tried forging steel with his own hands. Many things are like this. Theory alone and books alone are not enough. You have to practice. Many details in practice cannot be recorded in books.
This is the saying that what you see on paper is only shallow in the end, but you must know how to do it.
For example, this forged steel, although Lu Yu knew the theory well and taught it to these blacksmiths, it was nothing more than smelting pig iron into liquid wrought iron, and then pouring the wrought iron into the pig iron to cause an oxidation reaction.
But in fact, in the actual practice process, various problems are often encountered.
The control of the fire; the temperature control of the liquid wrought iron; and the external temperature during the oxidation reaction. In addition, there are more than a hundred zeros and zeros, each of which is enough to affect the result of the entire forged steel, and these
, there will be no special record in the book.
However, even though the progress was slow, Lu Yu continued to transport the best iron and steel and continued to try.
Lu Yu's mentality has been adjusted to the best level. Steel-making is really not something that can be accomplished overnight. People say that drop of water penetrates stone, but Lu Yu doesn't believe it. Over time, he still can't make steel!
Huh…
When he brought Cao Mu to the backyard, Lu Yu saw Dian Wei here. Lu Yu thought he was at Longxiao Camp these days, or went home to honor his mother, but he didn't expect that he was here...
The key is, in the past two days... I haven't heard of Dian Wei moving into the wing of the Cai Mansion?
It seems that Dian Wei did not notice Lu Yu's arrival because he was so focused on forging steel.
Lu Yu asked a craftsman who was resting, "When did Diandutong come here?"
"Oh... Young Master." The craftsman clenched his fists with both hands as a salute to Lu Yu. "Dian Dutong has been here for two full days. As soon as he came, he asked... how the steel that the Young Master proposed was as sharp as clay was forged.
Did you do it? We honestly said no, but he went to forge the steel himself after asking for some details!"
What? Dian Wei can also forge steel?
Lu Yu was slightly startled. Before he could recover, the craftsman continued. "We originally thought that Dian Dutong was a layman, but who would have thought that he was quite familiar with this forging. With a little reminder of many things, he understood everything.
Obviously, after asking, I found out that he had been making a living by forging before joining the army in his early years, so it is no wonder that he has developed such strength."
This is true, craftsmen who are engaged in forging are often very strong...the eight-pack abs are very handsome, and the biceps are as strong as an ox.
This solved one of Lu Yu's questions. No wonder Dian Wei was so powerful. It turned out that he was not born with it, but was trained with hammer after hammer.
But... Lu Yu is still full of questions?
What kind of steel does Dian Wei come to make steel? You know, he is the martial arts instructor of Longxiao Camp arranged by Lu Yu. It is also very important for the knights of Longxiao Camp to train every day?
Of course, even Lu Yu didn't know that the reason Dian Wei came here to forge steel was because of one of his obsessions!
The obsession of honest people is the most terrifying and the most capable of creating immortal legends.
As for Dian Wei's obsession, we must start from that night when there was a roar of wind and murderous intent.
