Chapter 164: Sharpen my warriors and call my master's wife good [Subscribe]

The slight halo on the copper block fell off for the second time, and the shape and imprint left on the low mat were the same, without any difference.

"The light emitted by this copper block is like a small lightning bolt, but its power is not very strong."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu watched the fun from the side.

"If used to attack the enemy, the power seems a little weak."

Dian Wei took out a piece of donkey intestine and put it into his mouth.

"You can dip it in garlic sauce." Xu Chu swallowed his saliva.

Hu garlic was brought back from the Western Regions by Zhang Qian during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han via the Silk Road. It is hundreds of years old now. It was originally used for medicinal purposes, and its uses were later expanded.

People in the Han Dynasty rarely ate animal offal.

But Dian Wei had no such concerns at all, the sausage was delicious.

"Bring me a knife."

Immediately, a personal soldier brought a ring-handled sword to the door.

Cao Cao pushed his luck into the copper block again. With a humming sound, the copper block glowed faintly, like an arc of electricity striking a blade.

This time I could see clearly that what fell off the copper block was a small curse pattern.

It was imprinted on the spine of the blade, turning into a dark pattern, just like the mark left by a skilled craftsman forging, without any other abnormalities or fluctuations.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, put away the bronze and said, "Call Zilong and Changqing over here."

Changqing is Ling Jin's courtesy name.

Ling Jin's activities now go beyond tomb robbing.

Cao Cao established a team similar to that of engineers under his command, responsible for digging tunnels, attacking and defending positions, and excavating earth.

Ling Jin's ability to dig tombs played a big role.

Zhao Zilong led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and patrolled the periphery at night, and came when they heard the noise.

When he entered the study, Cao Cao was looking at a map of the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty, staring at the location north of Bingzhou.

Not long ago, Zhao Zilong led his troops to fight against the Southern Xiongnu in the northern part of Bingzhou.

"A spy sent a message that the Southern Xiongnu Yufuluo suffered heavy losses the last time you led your troops to attack them. But recently they have been connecting with neighboring tribes and threatening to take revenge. But you didn't hit them hard enough."

Cao Cao said: "The more elite the troops are, the more they should participate in actual combat and use combat as training."

Zhao Zilong said solemnly:

"The nomadic tribes in the north took advantage of the civil war in our Han territory to cause chaos. For hundreds of years, they have continuously invaded the border.

Since the governor wants to train through war, Zilong would like to ask for permission to attack the Southern Xiongnu again and cripple their tribe so that they dare not do evil. "

Cao Cao said:
"We must be ruthless to the foreigners and beat them until they dare not speak of war or invade our territory. Zilong, lead the army and use the blood of the foreigners to sharpen our warriors for a hundred battles."

He added: "But this time, while Zilong is sweeping away the bandits, he might as well move westward. To the west of Bingzhou is Liangzhou."

Zhao Zilong leaned in to look at the map.

Cao Cao was preparing to extend his power into Liang Province.

This is the grand strategy.

By controlling the northwest, you can reopen the trade routes and restore the shattered Han economy!

Zhao Zilong said excitedly: "Zilong will obey the governor's order and lead two thousand tigers and leopards to the north to sweep away the foreign tribes, and then go west to control the border."

Cao Cao: "Since we are using war as training, take all three thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with you."

"Wouldn't the governor have no soldiers around him?"

"I've been active in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. It's unnecessary to bring thousands of soldiers with me to our own place. Xu Chu and Dian Wei are here, and there are 19 heavy cavalrymen you selected, which is enough.

Besides, don’t we still have Jia Xu?
Zilong, when you are outside, the important thing is to lead more soldiers and horses to train an elite force for me that is the best in the world.

You rush north, and the food and supplies will be replenished from the northwest corner of Yanzhou, through Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army camp."

"Zilong has received the order."

Zhao Yun was overjoyed and went down to prepare.

The governor is truly talented as he uses foreign tribes to train his troops.

After Zhao Zilong left, Cao Cao also left the study.

Ling Jin was burned when he retrieved the Xunzhu, but he has recovered now.

He was waiting outside the study, and when he saw Cao Cao come out, he followed him into the mansion in high spirits.

As Cao Cao's power continued to expand, more and more extraordinary people came to join him.

The number of people and strength of the team led by Ling Jin also increased accordingly.

He followed beside Cao Cao and saw that Cao Cao had one hand behind his back, the hem of his Hanfu flying, and his steps exuded the aura of a dragon crouching and a tiger walking.

When he first met Cao Cao last year, he knew that the governor was a practitioner of spiritual cultivation, and he could also roughly sense Cao Cao's level of power at that time.

But now when he saw Cao Cao, he had a feeling of awe and unfathomableness.

The oppressive force from Cao Cao is becoming increasingly frightening.

"This is a new burial map. You should take the things back according to the instructions on the map."

Cao Cao snapped his fingers and brought out an entry prompt, depicting the obtained burial map.

He pushed the scroll out, and it seemed as if a hand was lifting it out of thin air, and it fell into Ling Jin's hand very steadily.

Cao Cao's luck was revealed this time, in harmony with heaven and earth, and many mysterious methods were naturally mastered by him.

An entry immediately appeared. It was the direction he obtained when his reputation reached 500,000, and it was also the source of this tomb map.

The goal of 500,000 reputation has been useless before.

[Tiger Cave Dragon Pond Map, the fifth of the ten major house-guarding maps] [This map is used in a Yang house as a house-guarding treasure; it is used in a Yin grave as a tomb-guarding treasure]

[Pointing to: Qinling Mountains, sequence 124, ancient tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period; the map was completed in the Shang Dynasty, used to protect the royal palace]

The sky is full of stars and the sky is deep.

In Cao's house in Qiao County, on an early autumn night, the sound of insects can be heard everywhere.

Bian Mei, Bai Ke and Diao Chan lived in the same courtyard.

"Qingyu, you should go back to Dayeze with the governor these days. I won't go back."

In the room, Bai Ke sat on the couch and talked to Bian Mei.

She was wearing a light yellow middle-length dress, her black hair was tied up high, with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally, she had a jade nose and red lips. The neckline of the middle-length dress was slightly low, revealing her delicate collarbone and snow-white skin, with the peaks of her body holding up the fabric high.

"Master's wife won't go back with us?"

"I'm going to Pingyu to meet my senior brother. There are also two groups that I agreed to perform with that will go over there."

Their senior brother was Xu Shao, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty who founded Yuedanping, a journal specializing in evaluating people all over the world.

Pingyu is in Runan, not far away.

Xu Shaohe and the other two have the same master.

The three of them addressed each other in quite complicated ways. Bai Ke and Bian Mei called Xu Shao "senior brother".

But Xu Shao, like Bian Mei, called Bai Ke "Master's Wife".

"Master's wife, are you going to travel around the world?" Bian Mei lit a small incense burner at the side.

There are nine arts in prostitution, and the means of pleasing people are countless.

After Bian Mei became Cao Cao's concubine, she burned incense every day, which was also a form of spiritual practice.

In addition, she also mastered the secret techniques of Ice Skin and Jade Bones, Beautiful Feet Picking Lotus, Two Worlds in One Breath, Nine Rise and Nine Falls, etc. She uses one technique every day and never repeats herself throughout the year.

So Cao Cao was tired and wanted to come and learn from him.

Bai Ke: "At my age, I should have retired long ago, but I still have to finish the work I promised to do.

The last two shows are a farewell, and then we will close the show and not perform anymore.”

"After you seal the box, my wife, come and work with me as a clerk for the governor."

Bai Ke hummed.

After Ling Jin left, Cao Cao heard a very subtle tapping sound with a strong sense of rhythm.

In a room in Cao's mansion.

Jia Xu held a carving knife in his hand, with a focused expression on his face, as he carved sacrificial words on the bamboo slips.

Cao Cao came over upon hearing the noise: "Are you making another trump card to protect yourself?"

"Last time, I set up a trap with the governor to capture the Taoist priest. I used up too many magical bamboo slips he had with him. I'll make another batch."

In order to protect his own safety, Jia Xu not only learned how to carve Confucian and military strategists' magical skills on bamboo slips, but also learned how to use ink to carve Confucian and military strategists' magical skills on bamboo slips.

He also taught himself how to make tools.

Based on the Mo Gong bag, he replicated a magical tablet for storing things. The effect was not as good as the Mo Gong bag, but it could also turn his sleeves into a treasure bag that could hold a lot of things.

"Last time, I asked you to track down the secret base that Taoist priest had opened in Dongyu and dig out the roots behind him. What did you get?"

"We have found two clues, one in Julu and the other in Huashan. The rest are still being followed up," said Jia Xu.

Julu is the hometown of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and is located in Jizhou.

The other place is Mount Hua, which is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

"There is one more thing I wanted to report to the governor tomorrow. In Yingchuan and Runan, due to their richness, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been remnants of the Yellow Turban Army for several years.

When the army surrounded them, they dispersed and hid, and came out again after the troops left."

"Among them, there are two bandits who are using the name of the Yellow Turban Army to cause chaos, but in fact they are supported and controlled by local nobles behind the scenes."

"This is a small matter. Let Zhang Dakuo and his group go and get rid of the people."

Zhang Dakuo was a "bandit" raised by Cao Cao. Jin Shang, who was previously appointed by the court to come to Yanzhou to seize the position of governor, was killed by Zhang Dakuo and his men.

Cao Cao immediately returned to the inner house and came to Bian Mei's room.

Bai Ke hurriedly stood up from the couch and performed the ceremony.

A green-pen clerk brought a secret message. Bian Mei had just gone out to the front yard to send and receive messages and would be back later.

Bai Ke stood there in a proper manner, her hands were white and tender like spring catkins, and her vaguely visible figure looked even more voluptuous under the light. Her straight calves were exposed under her skirt, and her bare feet were wearing a pair of light blue shoes embroidered with a water moon pattern.

"No need to be so formal in the inner house."

Cao Cao took his seat, and Bai Ke also sat opposite him at the low seat.

After she sat down, a round curve appeared on her buttocks.

"When I came here, I met Qingyu going out. To put it bluntly, everyone wants to seal the box. It is really a great loss to the world."

"With just a few insignificant skills, you are not worthy of being called a governor." Bai Ke said.

"Then should I call you Master's Wife like Qingyu does?" Cao Cao smiled.

"Just call me...Jinghe."

Bai Ke's cheeks were rosy and she glanced at Cao Cao with raised eyebrows.

"After you sealed the box, you only came to Yanzhou and Qingyu to be in charge of Qingbi Li?"

"Well...what else?" Bai Ke asked in surprise.
