"These are the resources of the old general's family. There are as many as mountains.”
Xu Chu said.
Cao Yu shook his head helplessly and explained,"I have my own black iron."”
If it was smelted together with other ironware, impurities would easily be mixed in.
The weapons forged would have flaws instead.
"Move the items here back later.”
Cao Yu suggested that the other party transport the mountain of iron items back.
Xu Chu was instantly anxious.
On one side was the Eldest Young Master, and on the other side was the Prime Minister. He could not afford to offend either side.
"Wait a moment, Zixiu. I'll be back soon.”
Xu Chu mounted his horse and galloped away.
Xu Chu reported to Cao Cao after returning to the manor.
"Prime Minister, the Eldest Young Master doesn't need our supplies.”
Xu Chu explained.
Cao Cao was stunned." How can he not use it? Why wouldn't he use it?"
Jiangling City was the most important city in the entire Jing State, and most of the resources were stored in this city.
This was also why Cao Cao wanted to use his light cavalry to attack Jiangling before Liu Bei.
"Did you move some scrap metal over?”
He looked at Xu Chu.
Xu Chu felt wronged." How could I ruin the Prime Minister and the Eldest Young Master's plans? The iron materials transported are all top-grade."”
"The Eldest Young Master said that he has black iron, enough to forge a weapon.”
Cao Cao's brows relaxed when he heard Xu Chu's words.
So that was the case.
Darksteel was indeed of a higher grade than other types of iron.
"Did you ask Zixiu what kind of weapon he wanted to forge?”
Cao Cao asked Xu Chu.
"Halberd!" Xu Chu replied.
"Halberd?"
Cao Cao exclaimed.
This type of weapon was only used by Wen Hou and Lu Bu.
Zixiu knew how to use a halberd?
"Not only is the Prime Minister surprised, I am also very surprised.”
Xu Chu said bitterly.
The Eldest Young Master had practiced martial arts with Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan since he was young.
Xiahou Dun used a spear, and Xiahou Yuan used a saber.
It was reasonable to say that the Eldest Young Master knew how to forge weapons such as sabers and spears.
But no one taught the Eldest Young Master how to use a halberd!
"What about the blacksmith?”
Cao Cao was skeptical.
"How about this, Zhongkang, find someone to gather all the blacksmith masters in the city and go to that blacksmith shop to help.”
"Here."
Xu Chu cupped his hands and left.
Not long after.
Another soldier came in to report.
"Prime Minister, he went to the market.”
"What does he want to buy at the market?"
Cao Cao asked the soldiers.
"I only bought a palm-sized bronze mirror, two hairpins, and a set of makeup yellow.”
the soldier replied.
Cao Cao immediately understood that these were all women's products.
If his daughter-in-law wanted to use it, she must use the best!
"Men, immediately go to the major shops in the city and buy the largest bronze mirror, the most expensive jade hairpin, and the best and most expensive flower yellow makeup.”
"After purchasing, send it to this address.”
……
After Cao Yu bought the items, he returned to the blacksmith shop.
Suddenly, he found that there were many people inside.
They were all blacksmiths.
The ordinary workers were all cleared out!
At this moment, the master in charge of forging the black iron told Cao Yu.
"These are all my fellow disciples. If we work together, we will definitely be able to forge the most perfect weapon for our esteemed guest.”
Cao Yu did not mind and left after giving a few reminders.
When he left the city and returned home.
He realized that there were many supplies in the room.
Two full-body bronze mirrors, dozens of jade hairpins, and makeup flowers piled up on the table.
Other than that, there were all kinds of little puppets. The two sisters, Little Lu Ban and Little Lu Yu, were playing happily.
It was good to call him daddy.
Only the Bu Lian Master felt his heart ache.
"Husband, why did you spend money to buy this pile of things?”
Because of their wandering experiences in their early years, the Infantry Master had long developed the habit of being thrifty and thrifty.
"I bought it?" Cao Yu asked in shock.
When did he buy all these things?
The one he bought was still in his hands, and he couldn't bring it out this time.
"A quarter of an hour ago, a group of workers said that you bought these supplies in the city.”
"They are responsible for transporting it over."
Bu Lian Shi explained.
Cao Yu's thoughts raced when he heard this.
Thinking of the general he met in the blacksmith shop, Cao Yu suddenly understood.
He sighed.
How much did he look like the old general's son?
That was why the old general of the Xiahou clan kept trying to curry favor with him?
Just as he was thinking.
Outside, Cao Cao and Xu Chu came to visit.
He even brought a warhorse.
"Zixiu, the Prime Minister rewarded me with a horse yesterday. I don't need it since I'm in charge of logistics, so I might as well give it to you.”
Cao Cao smiled.
Cao Yu could tell that the warhorse in front of him was no ordinary warhorse.
In this era, men's desire for war horses was like the desire for luxury cars in the future.
Old Xia Hou was actually willing to give him this fine horse?
Seeing that Cao Yu was silent, Cao Cao explained,""With such a fine steed, how difficult would it be for Zixiu to gallop on the battlefield in the future and make contributions?”
This warhorse was called Vanishing Shadow, and it had just matured. Cao Cao had originally planned to use it for himself.
Giving it to Cao Yu now was just right.
Cao Yu thought for a while and accepted it immediately.
In the future, it would be even easier to snatch the Cao family's territory.
He wondered if the old general would vomit blood if he knew what he was thinking.
Anyway, Cao Yu couldn't care less.
"I will definitely repay the kindness of the old general for giving me a horse!”
In the future, he would not kill Old Xia Hou when he seized power.
That night, Cao Yu invited the two of them for dinner.
"Zixiu, yesterday the Prime Minister sent Jiang Gan to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. Do you think this will work?”
