Chapter 880
"This is the savage Desolate God beast mentioned in Classic of Mountains and Seas, hideous?"
Cao Mengde was amazed and reached out to touch it, but He was avoided by Xiao Xie, and returned his paw by the way.
if not Cao Mengde's Marrow Cleansing Scripture has been cultivated to a considerable degree, he must be scratched.
"Yi! It's amazing!"
Cao Mengde didn't care that Little Dongxi could not touch it, but said: "It really is a Desolate God beast, and its claws are surprisingly fast."
"Yi! p>
Xiao Xie grinned, glared at Cao Mengde fiercely, and with a swipe of smoke passed a reddish shadow in the midair, and left the Tuyuan in an instant.
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Since it's a savage Desolate God beast, of course it must be different. You came back just in time, I wanted to tell you earlier. This monster was sent from you before. It hatches out of one stone egg, and one may not have two."
Cao Mengde understood and said, "so that's how it is. I will let the following people pay attention."
Even if Cao Mengde is here, he doesn't necessarily value ancient creatures like hideous. Even immortals like Zhao Yu exist, so what's a hideous one? Ten more heads, more than a hundred heads, what can I do? He only values Zhao Yu's needs, and if Zhao Yu wants it, he will look for it.
It's midsummer now, and Cao Mengde hasn't come to the courtyard for half a year. But in the past six months, he was busy fighting with Yuan Shao.
The two walked side by side on the bluestone road of the courtyard, Cao Mengde said: "After working for half a year, I can finally rest my breath. Yuan Ben has been defeated at the beginning, and now he has gone to You Prefecture in embarrassment and is under the fence of Gongsun Bogui. He probably never thought that such a day would come."
Guandu is still Guandu.
At the beginning of the spring, Cao Mengde sent troops to expedition. The main force started from Guandu, crossed the upper reaches of the North River, and with more than 100,000 troops assembled by Yuan Shao, fought a decisive battle in Yecheng.
In this war, Cao Mengde dispatched a total of about 70,000 troops, accounting for half of Cao Mengde's total force.
In the past few years, Cao Mengde's military strength has grown year by year, but he has not been violent. The so-called soldiers are precious but not too expensive, which is fully reflected in Cao Mengde. Otherwise, with his current background, saying more than 100,000 troops, even 2-3 100,000, can be raised.
The main force, Cao Mengde, had about 50,000 soldiers. But its territory is vast, and it is necessary to guard against several other princes, so only half of it can be used.
On the other hand, many Generals were dispatched to participate in this war that determined the general trend of the whole world.
For example, several generals such as Xiahou Dun on the southern line, and several generals from Cao Ren's department on the eastern line. Except for Sun Ce and Lu Bu, who were still chasing Ma Teng and Han Sui to the north in Liang Province, their main generals were all sent back to participate in the war.
For this reason, Cao Mengde dispatched Cheng Yu, Man Chong, and the others to the southern and eastern fronts, temporarily taking over places such as Xiahou Dun and overseeing, to guard against Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.
Yuan Shao had many soldiers, but Cao Mengde had few soldiers. But Cao Mengde's army was countless times stronger than Yuan Shao's. Whether it is the popularity of the five elements boxing scriptures in the army, or the incomparably sophisticated equipment, Yuan Shao can't compare.
Therefore, there was a battle between the two sides, blood flowing into a river under Yecheng, Yuan Shao only lasted for three days, and Cao Mengde defeated the nearly 200,000 army.
The army was defeated like a mountain, Yuan Shao walked away in a panic, while mobilizing the remaining troops from various places, he retreated to the north. After being chased by Cao Mengde to Changshan, he fought another battle, and the result was obvious that he lost his family property.
The outcome of the two battles was decided. In less than half a year, the entire territory of Jizhou was occupied by Cao Mengde. Yuan Shao suffered heavy losses, the General died in countless battles, and surrendered innumerable. He finally retreated into You Prefecture with more than 10,000 remaining soldiers and was accepted by Gongsun Zan.
A war has come to an end here. But Cao Mengde's army did not stop at Jizhou. But at this time, Cao Mengde had already retreated from the front. It's not that Cao Mengde looks down on Gongsun Zan, but that Gongsun Zan really doesn't have the power to make Cao Mengde pay attention.
Therefore, Cao Mengde was handed over to Xiahou Dun to lead the front-line war together, and Xi Zhicai and others were military advisors, and it was gradually advanced.
"I came to the courtyard as soon as I came back." Cao Mengde was very happy: "I haven't come for half a year, I really miss it."
Zhao Yu laughed: "I see What do you miss is my pill?"
"Sir is really wise." Cao Mengde laughed heartily: "After a battle, almost all of the previous pills were rewarded, and there was no food left in my hand, so I was a little flustered. Ah."
Zhao Yup nods with a smile: "There are many pills, when you leave, you can take as much as you can."
"Okay." Cao Mengde clapped his palm : "The flying car is not big, it can hold ten million pills!"
"Fuck you." Zhao Yu laughed and scolded: "Even if you emptied my medicine store, you can't find ten million pills. Pill. Eighteen thousand is about the same."
Naturally, it was a joke, Cao Mengde nodded: "There are more and more people under this hand, and everything is consumed quickly. This time I made a fortune from the war, I got a lot of herbs from Hebei, and they will be delivered in half a month at most."
"As long as you have herbs. I will train you as many as you want."
Zhao Yu responded, But said with a smile: "I dignified an immortal monk and became your coolie. It's really uncomfortable. You gathered some famous doctors and sent them to me. Origin Essence Pill and Essence Replenishment Pill and other types of pills, use ordinary pills. Although it is more troublesome to refine, it is not impossible."
Cao Mengde understood what Zhao Yu meant, and was overjoyed: "Okay, okay! Hua Tuohua Divine Doctor is in Puyang, if he knows that he can I would love to learn pill refining from your husband."
"Hua Tuo?" Zhao Yu smiled: "This is really a Divine Doctor. By the way, Jingzhou also has Zhang Zhongjing, who is also very amazing. He was the prefect of Changsha, and he was also a Divine Doctor."
"Zhang Zhongjing? What Mr. Zhang said, but Zhang Ji?"
Zhao Yu said: "The method of pill refining is not difficult, but it is not easy. Ordinary doctors and doctors are afraid to learn it. Only with such a Divine Doctor can you achieve success in a short time. The more people who refine pills, the natural pills will be available. But whether it is Essence Replenishment Pill or Origin Essence Pill et al., all have considerable popularity. Once the pill refining method can spread, the demand for this herb will probably skyrocket. "
"What Mr. means is..." Cao Mengde thought: "Do you want to grow herbs like crops?" "
"Exactly. "Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Look, the superficial level of the five elements boxing scriptures has spread to the people under the rule, which has made pills in great demand among the people. Do you think how many people practice martial arts? When you rule the world, tens of millions of people will have to practice martial arts. How much will it cost? How can we meet the demand without planting herbs on a large scale? "
And said: "Besides, this is not only a huge source of money, but also allows many people to benefit from planting herbs, one move, two gains. "
Cao Mengde heard that, and he immediately described the scene in his heart.
This is clearly a brand new industry!
He couldn't help but applaud: "Good way, good way! "
said: "After I go back, I will start this matter. "
Zhao Yu said: "I will sort out the various herb planting methods needed to cultivate these kinds of medicine pills, which will save you the time to explore, just popularize them. In my opinion, if you want commoners to plant herbs now, I'm afraid it won't work. Commoners are often suspicious of new things. It is better to use it as a benefit first - to set a regulation for the large-scale planting of herbs, which can only be planted with the permission of the regime. You take this qualification as a reward, and it can also be regarded as giving some benefits to the civil and military generals under your command. They all know the goodness of the medicine pill, and they must be happy. "
"After ten to eight years, 10-20 years, people have seen the benefits of planting herbs, and they can slowly release the restrictions. "
