Luoyang City, No. 9 Jinwu Lane.

In the courtyard, Cao Shu was interested in appreciating Brother Cao Ang’s martial arts practice. Cao Ang was a little dull, but he had a high talent in martial arts practice. After learning from the martial arts master for a few days, he was already very good... The key is that Cao Ang practiced martial arts very meticulously, had a solid foundation, and was particularly able to endure hardships.

Cao Shu also tried to dance for a few times, which was much more difficult than expected.

He still knows himself. If you really want to talk about Kung Fu, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Taekwondo and other things before time travel, it is estimated that in ancient times, they will be killed instantly!

After all, in this era, kung fu is used to kill people by licking blood from a knife, and the kung fu in the previous life is far more important than killing.

Tickling his head, Cao Shu simply gave up on martial arts. His talent was limited, so he really couldn't learn this skill.

Thinking of this, Cao Shu suddenly remembered the three cheating guys Liu Sandao, Xing Daorong and Pan Feng. By the way, some time will they almost come back, right? No, if you really take your own money, just apply oil to the bottom of your feet? Have you run away?

Of course, in Cao Shu's opinion, it is unreliable to hand over their own life safety to them... But it is better than nothing, let alone Cao Shu is looking forward to their transformation plan!

...

Ahem...

After a cough, Cao Song slowly walked into the gate of Cao's mansion.

Today, an old man Cao Song came back very early, but he seemed very tired. After all, he went to the Dongcheng Gate to see Cao Cao off in the morning and rushed to the court. He was in his fifties and his body was far less able to withstand the tossing and troubles when he was young.

"Ahon? Why do you look so tired?" Seeing Cao Song slowly walking in, Cao Shu took the initiative to ask...

"Oh!" Cao Song waved his hand. "It's nothing. The matter in the court is about the expedition to the Xianbei. Your Majesty has different opinions from Lu Zhi, the general of the Huns!"

Hum? Conquering the Xianbei? Cao Shu thought about it... In history, after Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, succeeded to the throne, the Xianbei was not a good neighbor. It was like traveling south to travel and travel. It had to rob several times a year. The border of the Han Dynasty was full of sorrow and the people were living in poverty!

Thinking of this, Cao Shu was quite curious about the place where the emperor and Lu Zhi were arguing.

...Cao Song saw Cao Shu's big curious eyes and a wisp of beard. "Shuoer wants to hear it?"

Cao Shu nodded.

Cao Song simply sat down, and while watching his eldest grandson Cao Ang practice swords, he told Cao Shuo about the war in the court about the Xianbei, Lu Zhi's views and the emperor's attitude.

While listening, Cao Shu recalled the ancient books in his memory.

In fact, during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, he also made a very tough response to the Xianbei, a very unfriendly neighbor.

It was five years ago, in the sixth year of Xiping, in the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the Xianbei attacked the northern border of the Han Dynasty;

In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the Han Dynasty sent the Wuhuan lieutenant Xia Yucong Gaoliu County to defeat the Xianbei Central Army General Tian Ying to Yunzhong County, and the Xiongnu General Zang Min and the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu to Yanmen Pass. The three groups sent troops to attack the Xianbei at the same time, and went out for more than a thousand miles. As a result, they were defeated, and there were no ten troops left!

It was in this battle that Emperor Ming attacked the Huns in the north and restored his style in the Western Regions. He was defeated in this dynasty...

What is even more terrifying than the soldiers of the three armies dying in a foreign land in vain is the old capital accumulated by the national treasury for decades. All the forged weapons, armor and equipment were wasted. If you want to organize a large-scale battle to fight against the Xianbei, the Han Dynasty already has enough capital!

Emperor Liu Hong understood this most. If you really want to take the initiative, it would be absolutely impossible without tens of millions of coins! But where did this money come from?

The national treasury...haha! It would be great if you don’t owe the salaries of the soldiers of the three armies. Forging weapons and armor? How can you get this spare money!

Then? Taking the private money of Emperor Liu Hong is even more nonsense! Emperor Liu Hong, who loves money like life, asked him to pay the money, but he could only tie him up and force him to hand over the key to Wanjintang, otherwise there would be no possibility!

From this point of view, Lu Zhi's counterattack against the Xianbei was probably going to be stranded...

Of course, there is the only way to find a way to cheat the clan’s money. Although it is a bit loss, it is a good idea. However, this requires the cooperation of the emperor Liu Hong, and you have to find a partner to blame him!

Cao Shuo's forehead was running quickly. If the plan went smoothly and the Xianbei money was really paid by the clan?

Now, what he needs to think about is that he must take this opportunity to get sufficient benefits for the Cao family! For example, military power! Even the military power of an army of thousands of people is crucial in this not-so-peaceful world!

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to do business with Emperor Liu Hong.

Cao Shu put his hands on his chin, and his thoughts were still floating in the sky.

Cao Song saw that he listened with relish and did not disturb him. This young grandson always liked to think, this is a good thing... Smart children always like to think!

...

At this moment.

"Cao Dasi Nong, you... come out for me!"

The sound was like a bell and his steps were like the wind, but a tall and strong man broke into the courtyard of the Cao Mansion. The door tried to stop it, but three or five doors could not stop it at all. This guy... looked gentle and kind, but in fact, he was very energetic!

Cao Song looked at him, but he was not Lu Zhi, the general of the Huns? Who else could he have? Why did this guy come to the Cao family?

Cao Song's face darkened. He knew Lu Zhi's personality very well. It was probably because of raising money. Thinking of this, he was puzzled. I'm afraid this guy would be difficult to deal with!

"It turned out to be Lord Lu Zhi, the General of the Huns."

Cao Song stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face. He had been in the officialdom for many years, and he had already developed the ability to speak people and talk nonsense when facing people like Lu Zhi. Faced with such a stubborn person, don’t go around and tell him directly about his own difficulties. "Mr. Lu Zhi, you are here... it must be for me, Cao Song, don’t donate military funds! I... I have difficulties!"

"I was thinking, was Grand Secretary Cao deliberately shirking responsibility in the hall?" Lu Zhi stood with his hands behind his back, with a hint of blame between his eyebrows, and there was obviously anger in his chest!

Well...he is Lu Zhi? The straight man in steel - Lu Zhi?

Cao Shu thought a little, and it is said that Lu Zhi is not close to women. When his former master Ma Rong gave lectures, he always prepared some singers to perform singing and dancing, while admiring the beauty while giving lectures. But these dancers were dressed very revealingly.

Now... the other students were all focused on the dancer, but it was Lu Zhi, who was not blushing and breathless. He focused on his studies and never looked at the dancer beside him.

When Cao Shu read this when he was studying, he once suspected that there would be no problem with Lu Zhi's orientation... When I saw him today, I can be sure that he must be straight from his rough and loud voice! There is no such thing as an orientation problem, just a straight man!

...

"Mr. Lu, I, Cao Song, have difficulties!"

Cao Song repeated it again, and then led Lu Zhi to sit on a stone bench in the yard. At this time, Cao Ang stopped dancing his sword, and Cao Shu also took back his thoughts, and the two children stood by Cao Song.

"Are these your two grandchildren?" Lu Zhi asked.

"That's right." Cao Song replied.

"I have met Lu Zhiweng!" Cao Shu and Cao Ang spoke in unison and saluted, looking very polite.

Lu Zhi nodded, and his words were meaningful. "Cao Dasi Nong, your two grandchildren are so pure. They want to have food and drink, and their lives are quite comfortable! But have you ever thought about the people on the border? They also have sons? They also have grandchildren? Their sons, but their grandsons must face the scimitar of the Xianbei Hu Qi! They are full and hungry, and they are always worried about their lives. Don't you have any sympathy?"

This question was raised, and Lu Zhi looked at Cao Shu again. Cao Ang looked at him, his eyes full of expectations... He is a person who cares about the sufferings of the people. He is so eager that Cao Song can stand on his side!

But Cao Song still said that… “Mr. Lu Zhi, I have my own difficulties!”
