"Cao Yu?"
Cao Cao asked.
Did something happen to Zixiu in the North Village?
Cao Cao was worried.
"That's right, Prime Minister. This person is only a lieutenant.”
Xiahou Dun said.
"Such a peerless and fierce general should lead an army alone to charge into the battlefield and kill the enemy!”
He had lived for decades, but he had never seen such a fierce person like Cao Yu.
Xiahou Dun explained to Cao Cao about the battle with Cao Yu in the camp.
Hearing this, Cao Cao remained silent.
Previously, Xu Chu had reported to Cao Cao that he was no match for Cao Yu.
Now, Xiahou Dun said the same thing.
Cao Cao couldn't understand where Cao Yu had learned his skills.
Resurrected from the dead, divine power descending from the heavens?
However, Cao Cao was certain that Cao Yu's voice and combat strength did not match Cao Ang's.
The rest were completely carved out of the same mold.
Seeing that Cao Cao was silent, Xiahou Dun said anxiously,""Prime Minister, everything I said is true. I have no intention of lying!”
"The prime minister has always chosen talents. Cao Yu has a heaven-defying battle strength, so why not use him?”
Xiahou Dun put in a good word for Cao Yu.
The Prime Minister had given his most beloved Vanishing Shadow to Cao Yu, so it was obvious that he had high hopes for this person.
But why was he hesitating now?
Xiahou Dun found it hard to understand.
"Yuan Rang, don't you think he looks like a person?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.”
Xiahou Dun subconsciously answered Cao Cao's question,""Nephew Cao Ang!"
Could it be that the Prime Minister also felt that Cao Yu resembled Cao Ang, so he gave Vanishing Shadow to him?
"I'm afraid he's not my nephew."
Xiahou Dun finally reacted.
From the exchange with Cao Yu, Xiahou Dun had denied that Cao Yu was not Cao Ang.
"Nephew doesn't have such battle prowess!"
Xiahou Dun was firm in his opinion.
He had taught Cao Ang martial arts for ten years, so he knew it very well.
"Did Yuan Rang see Cao Yu's appearance?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.”
Xiahou Dun shook his head.
"Prime minister, Cao Yu's face was burned by the fire. If I let him take off his mask, wouldn't that be a public humiliation?”
Disfigurement was already unbearable enough.
Xiahou Dun would definitely not do anything to expose someone's scars.
After Cao Cao heard this, he smiled but did not say anything.
This made Xiahou Dun even more confused.
"Prime Minister, regarding Cao Yu…"
Xiahou Dun said hesitantly.
"I have my own arrangements for him. Put down the document and return to the North Village first.”
Cao Cao waved his hand.
Xiahou Dun wanted to say something more, but after seeing Cao Cao's determined expression, he could only give up.
Only Cao Cao was left in the hall.
"Yuan Rang, don't doubt him. He's Zi Xiu!”
……
Xiahou Dun returned to the North Stronghold in low spirits.
"I still need to deal with Zixiu's official position for a while.”
He sighed.
At this moment, a soldier reported to him that Cao Yu requested an audience.
"Bring him in."
Not long after.
Cao Yu stepped into the tent.
"Greetings, General."
Cao Yu cupped his hands and said.
Xiahou Dun was in a low mood as he said dejectedly,""Zixiu, we still have to wait for some time for the official position.”
At that time, he had guaranteed it.
Who knew that he would not succeed.
Xiahou Dun's face was filled with guilt towards Cao Yu.
Cao Yu smiled and did not think much of it.
"General, I have come to request to purchase kerosene, saltpeter, and other materials to start a fire.”
Cao Yu revealed his purpose.
"What do you want kerosene for?" Xiahou Dun asked Cao Yu.”
Cao Yu explained," The Yangtze River connects Min and E in the west, controls the Three Wu in the south, and has nine rivers in the north. All rivers converge into the East China Sea.”
"There is a lot of water vapor on the river."
"Since this morning, the fog has covered the river.”
Cao Yu, who came from a later generation, suddenly thought of the story of the straw boat borrowing arrows.
Rockets, on the other hand, needed to be manufactured in advance.
He smeared kerosene and ground saltpeter powder on the arrowhead, and wrapped it in a thin cloth soaked in kerosene.
Only by igniting the fire could it continue burning.
"I'm worried that the Jiangdong Army will take advantage of the fog to approach the water stronghold.”
"When the time comes, our army will not know the situation on the river, so we can only shoot arrows on land.”
Cao Yu voiced his thoughts.
Xiahou Dun laughed when he heard this.”
The Jiangdong army had long been terrified by the news, so how would they dare to wander around the northern army's water stronghold?
He felt that Cao Yu was worrying for nothing.
"General, it is better to be careful.”
Cao Yu said.
Seeing Cao Yu's insistence, Xiahou Dun nodded in agreement.
"Alright, Zixiu, you can bring your men to the nearby area to purchase and search for kerosene saltpeter.”
Xiahou Dun gave Cao Yu a warrant.
With this token, you can freely enter and exit the North Stronghold.
After receiving the warrant, Cao Yu immediately brought people along the river to search for kerosene and other things to start a fire.
Someone had already reported this to Cao Cao.
"Zixiu wants to build a rocket?"
Cao Cao frowned.
"Men, gather kerosene, saltpeter, and sulfur from Jiangling City and send them to Zi Xiu's camp for him to squander.”
An order was given.
A large number of soldiers rushed out of the mansion to carry out their orders.
Carriages filled with kindling materials were carefully transported by the soldiers into the North Stronghold.
Cao Yu started to take the lead and mass-produce rockets.
……
On the other side.
River East Water Village.
"How is the matter of Zhuge Liang making arrows?"
Zhou Yu asked Lu Su.
"Not yet," Lu Su replied.
" He said he could make 100,000 arrows in three days," Zhou Yu scolded." Two days have passed…"
"Could it be that he has run out of tricks?"
……

Dear ancestors, do you have any evaluation votes?
Why is the evaluation not moving at all? I'm a little flustered.
Save the child.
