The worries of Deng Zhi and others are not unreasonable. The Korean Peninsula is far in the north and too far away from the mainland of Chu. If Lu Xun really has the heart to be independent, the Chu State really has no way to punish him and can only send troops to conquer again.
.
But Liu Cong is not afraid of these. He comes from later generations, and among other things, he definitely knows much more about the personalities and characteristics of various historical figures than others.
Based on Liu Cong's understanding of Lu Xun, he would never do anything to disgrace himself, let alone establish himself as king in the north.
"ah…"
After stretching, Liu Cong smiled at the crowd and said, "My lords, I am very happy to have solved one of my worries today. You can have a drink with me later!"
"I respect you, Your Majesty!"

Xuchang, Yiji has been in Xuchang for two months. At that time, Cao Cao was at war with Liu Bei.
The crown prince Cao Pi did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so Yi Ji could only stay in Xuchang and wait for Cao Cao's return. Three days ago, Cao Cao had led his troops back to Xudu, and Yi Ji felt that Cao Cao should also summon him.
"Sir, Duke Wei has summoned you."
In the post house, Hua Xin walked in with a smile.
Yi Ji returned the gift with his hand raised, "I have picked it up. I'm going to see Duke Wei now."
Hua Xin stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Sir, if you please, remember to bring the catapult."
Yi Ji turned around with a smile on his face, "Haha, it seems that Cao Cao is already anxious."
Although I don't understand why Liu Cong wanted to exchange the catapult to Cao Cao, this is not something that Yi Ji, the Minister of Rites, should consider. And based on his understanding of Liu Cong, Liu Cong will never do anything he is unsure of.
"Zihuan, have you seen the catapult?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao sat at the top and asked Cao Pi below.

Cao Pi's head has been replaced with a crown that belongs to the crown prince. Recently, Cao Cao has paid more and more attention to him, which can be regarded as a blessing.
Hearing Cao Cao's question, Cao Pi raised his hand and replied, "Father, Yi Ji said that he would not hand over the catapult under any circumstances if he could not see his father and Xu Shu. I dare not make the decision without permission, so I can only wait for my father to come back."
Cao Cao chuckled and said, "This Yi Ji is still playing this trick with Gu. It doesn't matter, Gu just sold it to him to save face. Send someone to call Xu Shu."
"promise."
Cao Pi hesitated and said, "Father, do we really hand Xu Shu over to Liu Cong?"
Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Zihuan, Gu knows what you are worried about. Xu Shu is indeed a great talent, but he refuses to be used by Gu. To me, Cao family, Xu Shu is already useless."
"But……"
Cao Cao interrupted Cao Pi and said, "Chu is full of talents, not least Xu Shu. Talents are indeed important, but if the Cao family wants to survive, the more important things are population, money, food and land!"
“With money and food, we can cultivate more talents; with land, we can have a steady stream of talents!”
Seeing that Cao Pi was still reluctant to part with him, Cao Cao exclaimed, "Zihuan, your reluctance to part with talents is just like Gu, but Gu tells you that when it's time to let go of talents, even your own son will have to lose them, let alone talents."
Got it!"

"Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was once chased by Xiang Yu's army and kicked his own son and daughter out of the carriage several times. To be a king, one must not only be forbearing but also have the ruthlessness to abandon everything!"
As he said that, Cao Cao suddenly smiled bitterly, "You should really learn from Liu Bei on this point."
"My son will obey his father's teachings."
While the father and son were talking, people from the school affairs office had already brought Xu Shu here.
"Meet Wei Gong! Meet the Crown Prince!"
Cao Cao chuckled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You look good, sir."
Xu Shu put his hands behind his back and replied, "I'm just sitting quietly waiting to die."
"When did I say that I was going to kill sir?"
"I did those things and you won't kill me?"
Cao Cao smiled playfully and said, "Sir, sit down first. You will know later."

Xu Shu was not polite and found a seat to sit down.
After a while, Hua Xin arrived with Yi Ji.
"Foreign minister Yi Ji, pays homage to Duke Wei!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Envoys are exempt from courtesy. Have you brought me what I wanted?"
Yi Ji nodded, "Here he is, the person my king wants. Can Wei Gong let me see him now?"
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed loudly, pointed at Xu Shu and said, "Xu Yuanzhi is sitting there. As long as you give Gu Gu the making method of the catapult, and his family members, you can take them away."
Yi Ji looked at Xu Shu who was sitting there, looked at Cao Cao seriously and said, "I hope Duke Wei will not break his promise."
"Hmph! I don't even bother to do things that I don't believe in!"
Xu Shu looked a little moved. A few days ago, someone from his mansion did come to rescue him, but they were defeated by people from Cao Cao's school affairs office.
He thought he was Liu Bei's man, but he didn't expect it to be Liu Cong. Listening to the conversation between Yi Ji and Cao Cao just now, was Liu Cong planning to use the manufacturing method of a catapult in exchange for himself?

Yi Ji took a deep breath and said, "Then please invite Mr. Wei to follow you down."
Cao Cao stood up and walked out. When he reached Xu Shu, he stopped and said to Xu Shu, "Sir, why don't we go and have a look together?"
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Xu Shu stood up and followed everyone outside.
The Prime Minister's Mansion occupies a large area, and the catapult has been installed. Next to the frame, several craftsmen and soldiers are guarding it. The soldiers are holding torches in their hands.
Cao Cao walked closer and took a look, and said displeasedly, "Mr. Ji Bo, you have a bit of a villain, don't you?"
Yi Ji smiled bitterly and said, "When dealing with Duke Wei, foreign ministers have to be careful."
It turned out that this catapult was already covered with kerosene. As long as Yiji gave an order, the soldiers holding torches would light it.
Three stone bombs were placed next to the catapult. Yiji waved his hand, and the soldiers stepped forward to push the stone bombs.
After the installation was completed, Yi Ji looked at Cao Cao. Cao Cao pointed to the wall not far away and said, "The wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion has also been reinforced. Just shoot towards the wall!"
The soldier looked at Yiji, who nodded towards the soldier, and the soldier began to operate the catapult.

"call!"
"Bang!"
The machine made a squeaking sound, and the stone bullets were fired out, directly knocking down the wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Cao Cao was stunned when he saw it, and then he became excited!
Although I have seen the power of this thing many times, now, I can also have it!
Turning to look at Yi Ji, Cao Cao's eyes were almost fanatical, "Where is the manufacturing method?"
Yi Ji hesitated for a moment, then took out a piece of cloth from his arms and handed it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao opened it and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see clearly what was going on. He handed it over to Man Chong and said, "Instruct the craftsmen to engrave it in isolation!"
"I obey!"
After Man Chong left, Cao Cao looked at Xu Shu, his eyes full of complexity, and finally just sighed softly, "Sir, take care."

After that, he walked to the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Mr. Ji Bo, take Yuan Zhi to collect his family members. When you get back, tell Liu Cong not to neglect Mr. Yuan Zhi!"
"thump!"
Xu Shu couldn't hold it back in the end. He knelt on the ground and knelt down respectfully, saying, "I am so ashamed of myself!"
But Cao Cao never looked back.
Yi Ji stepped forward and helped Xu Shu up and said, "Sir, please go pick up your family first."
