"Pu Yuan? That blacksmith fool? He has his own blacksmith shop five miles south of the city. Go find it yourself!"
I entered Citong with the mentality of giving it a try, and Pu Yuan was indeed very easy to inquire about.
Although others don't understand why Cao Ang is so persistent in looking for this guy, they can't doubt Cao Ang's ability to recognize people.
"Sir? There are also many blacksmiths in Yanzhou and Qingzhou. Why don't you look for them there?"
Finally, Zhao Yun asked the doubts in his heart.
"There are indeed many blacksmiths, but there are not many blacksmiths who dare to innovate, but they are extremely rare! Is this guy named Pu Yuan! If he can understand my idea, maybe there will be an epoch-making innovation in our weapons!
"
According to historical records, Pu Yuan made 3,000 knives for Zhuge Liang in Xiegu. The knives he made could split bamboo tubes filled with iron beads and were known as the magic knives.
Moreover, this guy used the water quenching method for the first time. The steel knife in his hand was as good as cutting iron into clay. Later, Jiang Wei even wrote a biography for him!
But? Shouldn't this guy be in Shu? How did he make a living in Citong?
Without anyone to guide them, the group of people went directly to the south of the city after purchasing supplies. Soon they saw the banner of "Pu's Blacksmith" not far ahead, fluttering wildly in the wind.
"Where do the guests come from?"
As soon as the group stopped, a guy came to chat with them.
"Coming from Yanzhou."
Not understanding what it meant, Cao Ang answered honestly.
"Yanzhou? It seems there are no customers ordering?"
The clerk looked at Cao Ang seriously after flipping through the list several times.
"Ah! We're not here to get goods. We've heard about Pu Yuan's name for a long time, so we came here to visit!"
"Oh! That's it. My boss is studying a new quenching method recently. No outsiders are allowed to disturb him. Guest, please come back."
"Who made this?"
Seeing the waiter issue the expulsion order, Cao Ang smiled. He could understand that capable people have bad tempers. After getting up, he walked in the other direction. He saw something that surprised him!
A thing that was about to take shape was covered with densely packed gears. Although the gears were large and small, the teeth were well-proportioned, and the square hole in the middle made Cao Ang smack his lips!
Just because of his perfect skills, no wonder he is a guy who can leave his name in history!
"Of course it's my boss. After making ironware for customers from all over the world, the boss has been studying this day and night for almost half a year. Up to now, the boss has not explained clearly what this thing is used for! Now there is a new idea of quenching. The boss
I just threw this thing in the shop and worked on other things."
Although the guy covered his mouth and answered with a smile, Cao Ang could clearly tell that the guy admired Pu Yuan very much!
"The prototype of machine tools! The Industrial Revolution!"
Cao Ang murmured to himself, he really didn't expect Pu Yuan to have the concept of gears.
No! You have to meet him. There is no doubt that this guy is a great talent!
"Thank you, little brother, please send a message and tell me that Yanzhou Cao Zixiu is visiting!"
"Didn't I tell you? The boss wants to research a new...ah? Who do you think you are?"
The waiter answered impatiently, but before he could finish the answer, he suddenly froze on the spot!
"Someone! Yanzhou Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu!"
"Snapped……"
A crisp sound startled Cao Ang.
The guy didn't say anything for a long time. He looked at Cao Ang, then at the group of people behind Cao Ang, and slapped himself in the face. The burning pain made him sure that he was not dreaming!
"Oh...oh my god! Cao...Cao Zixiu! Lord Cao!"
The incoherent waiter's face turned red at this time. Cao Ang's reputation was too great. It can be said that as long as you grew up in the territory of the Han Dynasty, you don't have to know who the current emperor is, but no one knows Cao Ang!
The most important thing is who dares to impersonate Cao Ang? If the people of the world find out, they will not kill this ungrateful thing!
"Master Hou, wait a moment. I'm going to call the boss right now. Master Hou, wait a moment!"
The boy turned around excitedly and ran in the other direction. As he ran, he looked back at Cao Ang. It all seemed like a dream.
…
"What Wenhou said is wrong! Whoever comes first is the winner! If our Yanzhou army waits for Wenhou and Xuzhou to fight to the death, will Wenhou have the confidence to fight with me in Yanzhou again?"
"you!"
Outside Xuzhou City, inside Lu Bu's camp, Guo Jia was not afraid of the swordsmen around him and looked at Lu Bu with a smile.
"Hmph! Smooth talk! Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
After thinking about Guo Jia's words, Lu Bu laughed angrily. The young man in front of him was calm and calm and did not scare him. It was not his style!
"Wen Hou is unparalleled in the world, and no one can control him. If you have murderous intentions because of my few words, wouldn't this title of No. 1 in the world be broken by Wen Hou himself?"
"Hahahaha! Are all Cao Mengde's men just talking heads like you?"
"No! Wen Chou, who fought with Wen Hou just now, could only barely join the ranks of generals under Cao Gong!"
The two of them talked about not sparing anyone, and gradually the atmosphere began to become more and more serious!
"You, a guy who defected from Yuan Benchu's command, can achieve such a high position under Cao Mengde. It seems that Cao Mengde is not that good either!"
"We little people are naturally good birds choosing trees to roost in. I don't think Wen Hou is a hero who has lived under people for a long time! But currently we are living on Yuan Highway. Could it be that Wen Hou has the ambition to occupy the magpie's nest?"
"Asshole!"
How dare this guy say that! Cold sweat even broke out on Lu Bu's head!
As Lu Bu stood up, the swordsman was ready to strike at Guo Jia at any time.
"Wen Hou? Are you angry now?"
Guo Jia did not retreat but moved forward, stepping towards Lu Bu. The two were only two or three meters apart!
"Hahahaha! Guo Fengxiao! You have wanted to separate me from General Yuan for a long time! The Xuzhou incident is a big deal! I will discuss it with General Yuan and then give you an answer! Clean your neck! Wait until I go chop it off in person. Off your head!"
Subconsciously, he glanced at Chen Xun, who had already grasped the handle of the knife tightly with a grim look on his face.
Seeing Guo Jiasheng's domineering look, Lu Bu also had the urge to kill this guy for a moment. If he was killed, there would still be a long road ahead. Although Cao Mengde is an enemy now, who can predict what will happen in the future?
Lu Bu thought to himself that this kid can't stay here anymore! After all, Ji Ling and others are watching behind him!
"Marquis Wen invites you! We will wait for five days! What will be the fate of Xuzhou in five days? We are waiting for Marquis Wen's order!"
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he bowed to Lu Bu and turned around to leave without paying any attention to the others.
Until he left the Lu Bu military camp, Guo Jia didn't say a word, and his calm eyes were fixed on the direction of Cao's army. This made Cao Xiu and another entourage who were protecting Guo Jia behind him fall into admiration!
"How far are you from the camp gate?"
Guo Jia's heavy voice came, and Cao Xiu immediately turned around and made a visual inspection.
"Half a mile already!"
"Horse! Run! Run! Run!"
Guo Jia stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat off his head, shouted at the top of his lungs, then pulled the reins, took out a knife and hit the horse's butt. The horse was frightened and galloped forward with all its strength.
Seeing Guo Jia disappearing with only the horse's butt left, Cao Xiu realized what he was doing and quickly clamped the horse's belly and chased Guo Jia.
