Chapter 349

Back at the Cao family, Cao Shuo went straight to Cao Cao's residence.

When he arrived outside the door, he heard a woman's voice coming from the room.

Cao Shu asked Xu Chu, who was guarding outside, in a low voice, "Who is in the house?"

"Madam Huan." Xu Chu said: "After the young master went to the palace, Cao Gong invited her over, but he has not come out yet."

"If there is an urgent matter for you, I will report it to you!" Xu Chu said.

"Don't!" Cao Shu said, "It's nothing important to me. I'll report back to my father when Mrs. Huan comes out."

"Where are you going now?" Xu Chu asked.

"I won't go anywhere, just wait here." Cao Shuo simply sat on the steps of the corridor in front of the door.

"I think the matter of the young master should be very urgent." Xu Chu said: "Mrs. Huan entered the room, and Mr. Cao did not let the servant come out. The two of them had not done anything yet..."

As soon as Xu Chu finished speaking, the door opened and two maids walked out of the room.

Cao Shu looked at Xu Chu and curled his lips.

Xu Chu's mouth opened slightly, looking stunned.

Cao Cao probably didn't do anything just now, so he must have done everything...

The maid withdrew, and Cao Shu knew that he would have to wait a while if he wanted to see Cao Cao.

Sitting outside Cao Cao's door, he certainly wouldn't ask Xu Chu a very straightforward question.

After chatting with Xu Chu for a while, Cao Cao's voice came from the room: "Zhongkang, is Zi Rong outside the door?"

Xu Chu replied: "Young Master is here for a while and dare not disturb Mr. Cao rashly."

"Let him come in and speak!" Cao Cao ordered.

Xu Chu responded and said to Cao Shu: "Duke Cao invites you in."

It didn't take long since the maid went out to Cao Cao's greeting Cao Shu.

Cao Shu muttered in his heart that he had heard that his father liked beauty for a long time. It seemed that he had spent too much energy on beauty, and now he has become a veritable fast gunner!

He stood up and patted the dust behind his butt. Cao Shu gently pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Cao Cao was sitting at the table drinking tea, while Mrs. Huan sat aside to serve.

"I have met my father and Mrs. Huan!" Cao Shuo bowed and bowed to Cao Cao and Mrs. Huan.

He is the son of Ding Yao. Mrs. Huan dared not be negligent and could not reply to the big gift in front of Cao Cao, so she nodded to him with a smile.

"You go out first." Cao Cao said to Mrs. Huan: "Zirong has something to talk to me!"

Mrs. Huan stood up and retreated.

Cao Cao asked Cao Shu: "How is it? Your Majesty agrees?"

"Your Majesty has issued an order to dig the tomb of King Liang immediately." Cao Shu replied.

"Digging the tomb of King Liang is a big deal, someone must be watching it." Cao Cao said: "The army just returned to Xudu, and I have some things recently..."

"My father is busy with everything, how can I do something like digging graves and digging in person?" Cao Shu said: "I would like to go on a trip on behalf of my father."

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking!" Cao Cao asked with a smile: "Is it because I'm too tight recently and want to get more benefits from the tomb of King Liang?"

"Father's keen eyes, I can't actually do much." Cao Shuo smiled awkwardly: "I haven't purchased a batch of war horses recently. If you want to train them into heavy cavalry that can charge, you have to be equipped with saddles, horseshoes and stirrups..."

"Wait!" As soon as Cao Shu said this, Cao Cao interrupted him: "Stelp? What?"

Cao Cao knew about the saddle and horseshoe.

The earliest saddles in the Central Plains were generally equipped with cavalry during the Warring States Period. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a small number of high-bridge saddles even appeared.

As for horseshoe, it was first used by the Romans in the West.

Rome used horseshoes for two or three hundred years and had been spread to the Central Plains through the Silk Road for many years.

The only thing Cao Cao didn't know was the stirrups.

Cao Shu customized stirrups in large quantities and assembled in the Immortal Camp, but no one reported it to Cao Cao.

"Father!" Cao Shuo said: "Steamer is used to trample on horseback and trampling on horseback. The Immortal Camp has been assembled long ago. Didn't my father see it?"

"What am I doing when I stare at your immortal camp?" Cao Cao said: "Come here and tell me what the stirrup is about!"

Cao Shu came to Cao Cao, tracing the shape of the stirrup on the low table, and said to Cao Cao: "The cavalry does not have stirrups, so it is difficult to sit firmly on the horse's back. The cavalry in the past could only be used for harassment and pursuit. What I want to build is a cavalry that can charge on the horse's back."

"With this thing, can the cavalry charge into battle?" Cao Cao was still very suspicious.

"As long as you don't meet the enemy's bow and archery formations and spear formations, the chargeable cavalry is almost invincible!" Cao Shu said: "Equipping the soldiers with horses, you can't just let them run around, and killing the enemy in battle is the main purpose."

"That's right." Cao Cao said: "If you go back, you will give me a pattern of stirrups. I will ask the military commander to make a batch. If it is really useful, it will be your first contribution!"

"The child has made up this credit." Cao Shuo asked with a shy face: "Father, if the stirrups are useful, can I get a reward?"

"Every time you gave you a reward, you would push it out. What happened this time?" Cao Cao asked, "Are you asking for the reward?"

"My marriage with Miss Yuan's family..." Cao Shu didn't finish his words, but just smiled humbly.

"You already have a few women in your room. I think you are not trying to marry Miss Yuan as soon as possible, but are in a hurry to take those women into the room!"

"Father really knows the child." Cao Shuo took the opportunity to flatter Cao Cao: "There is no better father than my father. I can't escape my father's eyes if I want to do anything."

"It's nothing better to be a man, but you can't be without restraint." Cao Cao said: "When you come back from Chenliu, I will send someone to the Yuan family to bring the lady back and marry you two!"

"Thank you for your success!" Cao Shuo quickly bowed and asked, "Did my father promise to let me go to Chenliu?"

"Who else can you go if you don't go?" Cao Cao said: "If you get good things from King Liang's tomb, you can keep 10% of them and hand them over to the treasury!"

"I understand!" Cao Shuo said: "Father, I have one more thing I want to ask my father to allow me!"

"explain!"

"Zhou Hao is the lieutenant of the gold-touching school, and his touching camp will never grow stronger." Cao Shu asked: "Do you need to raise an official position for him?"

"A tomb robber, what official position do you think do you want to give him?" Cao Cao asked.

"Digging graves means digging the mound." Cao Shuo said: "General General Faqiu, this official title is really good!"

"General of the Central Army of Faqiu?" Cao Cao laughed and said, "Only you can come up with such an official title."

After stroking his beard and thinking for a while, Cao Cao said, "Okay, tell Zhou Hao that if he successfully digs the tomb of King Liang, he will no longer be the lieutenant of the Jinshi, but the General of the Central Army of the Faqiu. The Jinshima camp can also grow five times stronger!"
