"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that there would be a second one in East County City…"
"Ahem, there's actually someone who has such knowledge.”
The joy in Cao Cao's eyes could not be concealed as he said in a deep voice,""If it wasn't for Wen Ruo's reminder, I would have missed such a heaven-sent opportunity.”
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Xun Yu was happy to receive Cao Cao's praise.
However, what really excited him was that not only did Cao Cao understand this game, but he was also able to follow the good advice.
This was the greatest reward for the ambitious Xun Yu.
"Lord is wise!"
"Wen Ruo, since you've come from afar, I've already prepared a welcoming banquet for you.”
Cao Cao stood up and walked to Xun Yu's side. He smiled and said,""I've also invited many of your old friends.”
The old friends that Cao Cao was referring to were the old ministers that he had intercepted at Mount Mang Dang.
They were all loyal officials of the Emperor's Party. They were either colleagues of their fathers or had personal relationships in their early years.
Xun Yu was happy and thanked Cao Cao once again.
Xu Chuan, who had always disliked this kind of banquet, only gave Cao Cao a look and left without saying goodbye.
He couldn't be bothered to listen to them scold Dong Zhuo at the banquet.
"Since Liu Dai is about to die and Yanzhou is about to change hands, it looks like we can begin the third gift to Cao Cao.”
Xu Chuan muttered to himself after leaving the Governor's Mansion. He did not return to the Xu Mansion but walked toward the Military Inspectorate.
"Greetings, Lord Enlistee."
Xu Chuan's appearance made the craftsmen in the Military Supervision Office stop what they were doing and bow.
"Foreman, come out."
Xu Chuan nodded and looked around.
"This lowly one will await the orders of Lord Enlistment.”
A middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd.
"Take it. Build the thing on this sketch.”
Xu Chuan pointed at the silk cloth he had brought and explained,"There are detailed size proportions on it. Where to use iron and where to use wood are marked.”
The foreman flipped the silk cloth over and over, scratched his head, and asked,""May I ask what this is, my lord? I've been a blacksmith my entire life, but I've never seen anything like this.”
"You don't need to know what it's for. Just follow the map and leave it to me.”
"Yes, sir. I wonder how many sets do you want us to make for the army and when do you want them?”
Joining the army was not a high official, but it was not someone a foreman like him could offend. Naturally, he did not dare to ask much and just obediently followed orders.
Xu Chuan lowered his head and pondered for a while." Make 20,000 sets first. I'll come back to collect them in three months."”
"Twenty thousand?"
"I can't do that. The higher-ups have ordered the Army Supervision Department to supervise the production of 50,000 sets of armor and equipment within half a year.”
"If I delay the construction period, I will definitely be executed.”
The foreman was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
She had thought that Xu Chuan would only ask for a few sets, but who knew that he would ask for 20,000 sets.
Even if this thing didn't use much iron, it would still take up the construction period of the armor and armaments.
Boss Cao was too anxious to expand the army by 50,000 in half a year.
Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said,
"How about this, change the original 50,000 sets of armor to 30,000 sets. For now, I'll just supervise the production of my 20,000 sets.”
"If the higher-ups ask about it, just push it to me. Just say that it was Xu Chuan who ordered it.”
"This…"
The foreman looked at Xu Chuan in fear and did not dare to agree.
Alright, it seemed that he had overestimated his identity as a soldier.
That was true. Before Boss Cao dared to expose his identity, this signboard was really not very popular.
He couldn't just go to the banquet and let Cao Cao give the order.
"I'm Commandant Xu Chu's younger brother. If you don't believe me, then don't believe my brother?”
Helpless, Xu Chuan could only mention Xu Chu's name.
"This lowly one obeys!"
If Xu Chu had ordered them to do this, they would have the guts to do it.
After all, even craftsmen like them had heard of Xu Chu killing Hua Xiong and Lu Bu in Tiger Cage Pass.
In Cao Cao's camp, he was the most valued person.
Xu Chuan shrugged his shoulders. The title of big brother was still more popular.
After settling this matter, Xu Chuan stayed at home for a few days without leaving the house.
This was all thanks to Xun Yu's arrival. These days, he had been giving advice to Cao Cao every day. From time to time, he would be like a messenger to pull people for him. This was why Cao Cao did not come to visit for a few days.
On this day, Xu Chuan slept on the lazy chair and enjoyed Gan Mei's jade-like massage. It was extremely nourishing.
"Little brother, little brother!"
"Big brother? Weren't you training with Zilong outside the city? Why did you suddenly come back?”
Looking at Xu Chu's panicked expression, it was as if the sky was falling. Could it be that the enemy was forcing their way in?
"I've specially brought half a month's worth of food and salary for the family. Don't go out for the next few days.”
Xu Chu took a sip of wine and wiped his mouth as he panted heavily.
"What happened?" Seeing him like this, it was really not a small matter. Xu Chuan sat up.
"Hey, what a f * cking foul smell."
Xu Chu cursed,"An old thing we rescued from Mount Mang Dang. His name is Cai…" Cai something, the father of the talented woman you mentioned.”
"Cai Yong? What happened to him?"
"Yes! It's him!"
Xu Chu slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth." This old thing is really a natural disaster. He actually got a sore!"”
"The lord has ordered the soldiers to surround the Cai Residence and not allow anyone to enter or leave. At the same time, he has sent people to look for the divine doctor Hua Tuo.”
When Gan Mei heard the word 'captured', she was so frightened that she covered her mouth with her jade-like hands. Her eyes widened, and her entire face lost all color.
Before Xu Chuan could react, Xu Chu's expression changed to a gloomy one. He said in a low voice,
"If it wasn't for the fact that a group of old things saved his life, the lord would have burned him down.”
"But it will only take three to five days. If we can't find Hua Tuo, we have to deal with him.”
"So, you must not go out for the next few days. I brought a lot of food and necessities.”
"Alright, I can't stay in the city for too long. I have to return to the camp.”
After saying that, he patted Xu Chuan's shoulder and ran away like a gust of wind.
Only the dumbfounded Xu Chuan and the pale Gan Mei were left behind.
