"This is the wild divine beast mentioned in the Shanhai Sutra, zero?"

Cao Mengde was very surprised and reached out to touch him, but Xiao Zheng avoided him and returned him with a claw.

If Cao Mengde had not practiced the marrow washing sutra to a certain level, he would have been scratched.

"Hey! Awesome!"

Cao Mengde couldn't touch the little thing and didn't care. He just said, "Sure enough, the wild beast has surprisingly fast claws."

Xiao Zhe grinned and glared at Cao Mengde fiercely. A light red shadow passed through the air and left the earth courtyard in an instant.

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Since it is a wild beast, of course it must be different. You are here this time, and I want to tell you a long time ago. This genocide hatched from a stone egg you sent before. One may not be able to have two."

Cao Mengde understood and said, "So that's it. I will let the people below pay attention."

Even Cao Mengde may not pay much attention to ancient creatures like Zheng. Even an immortal family like Zhao Yu exists. What is Zheng? What can he do if he has ten or one hundred more? He only values ​​Zhao Yu’s needs. If Zhao Yu wants it, he will look for it.

It is already midsummer, and Cao Mengde has not come to the villa for half a year. However, he has been busy fighting with Yuan Shao in the past six months.

The two walked side by side on the bluestone road in the other courtyard. Cao Mengde said, "I have been busy for half a year and finally I can rest. Yuan Benchu ​​has been defeated, and now he has gone to Youzhou in a mess and sent it under Gongsun Bogui's fence. He probably never thought that there would be such a day."

Guandu is still Guandu.

At the beginning of the spring of the year, Cao Mengde sent troops to fight. The main army started from Guandu, crossed the river north, and fought a decisive battle with more than 100,000 troops gathered by Yuan Shao in Yecheng.

In this war, Cao Mengde dispatched a large army of about 70,000, accounting for half of Cao Mengde's total strength.

Over the years, Cao Mengde's military strength has been gaining strength year by year, but he has not launched a large number of troops. The so-called military value is more important than energy, but not many, which is fully reflected in Cao Mengde. Otherwise, with his current foundation, he would not have said that more than 100,000 troops, even 200,000 to 300,000 can be raised.

Cao Mengde had about 150,000 main combat soldiers. However, his territory was vast and he had to be guarded against several other princes, so only half of them could be used.

However, many generals were sent back to participate in this war that determined the direction of the world.

For example, Xiahou Dun and other generals on the southern front, and Cao Ren's troops on the eastern front. In addition to the pursuit of Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, Sun Ce and Lu Bu, who were defeated in the north, were all dispatched back and participated in the war.

To this end, Cao Mengde dispatched Cheng Yu, Man Chong and others to the southern and eastern fronts, and temporarily replaced Xiahou Dun and others to the local area to guard against Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.

Yuan Shao had many soldiers, while Cao Mengde had few soldiers. However, Cao Mengde's army was countless times more powerful than Yuan Shao's elite. Whether it was the popularization of the Five Elements Fist Classic in the army or the extremely exquisite equipment, it was not comparable to Yuan Shao.

Therefore, in a big battle between the two sides, blood flowed from Yecheng. Yuan Shao only lasted for three days, and nearly 200,000 troops were defeated by Cao Mengde.

The defeat was like a mountain of fall, Yuan Shao left in a panic, mobilizing the remaining troops from all over the country while retreating to the north. He was chased by Cao Mengde to Changshan and fought another battle, but the result was obvious, and he lost all his family's fortune.

The victory and defeat were determined by two battles. In less than half a year, the entire Jizhou area was occupied by Cao Mengde. Yuan Shao suffered heavy losses, countless generals died in battle, and countless surrendered people. In the end, he only retreated into Youzhou with more than 10,000 remaining troops and was accepted by Gongsun Zan.

A big battle came to an almost end here. But Cao Mengde's military front did not stop in Jizhou. However, at this time, Cao Mengde had retreated from the front line. It was not that Cao Mengde looked down on Gongsun Zan, but that Gongsun Zan really did not have the power to make Cao Mengde pay attention to it.

Therefore, Cao Mengde was handed over to Xiahou Dun's command in the frontline war, and gradually advanced with Xi Zhicai and others as military advisors.

"As soon as I came back, I came to the other courtyard." Cao Mengde felt very happy: "I haven't come for half a year, I really miss you."

Zhao Yu laughed: "I think what you miss is my pill?"

"Sir, it's true." Cao Mengde laughed: "After a big battle, I almost received all the pills from the previous time. I didn't have any remaining food in my hand, and I felt a little panicked."

Zhao Yu smiled and nodded: "There are so many Danwans. When you leave, you can take as much as you can."

"Okay." Cao Mengde clapped his hands: "The speed is not big, and tens of millions of pills can be filled!"

"Go to you." Zhao Yu laughed and scolded: "Even if you empty my medicine warehouse, you can't find tens of millions of pills. There are about 10,000 pills."

It was a joke, Cao Mengde nodded: "There are more and more people under this command, and everything is consumed quickly. This time, he made a fortune in war and got a lot of herbs from Hebei, which will be delivered at most half a month."

"Just have herbs. I'll do as much as I have to refine it for you."

Zhao Yu responded, but smiled and said, "I am a fairy monk and I have become your coolie. I am really unhappy. You summoned several famous doctors and sent them to me. Several pills such as Jingyuan Pill and Yangyuan Pill are a bit troublesome to refine with ordinary methods, but it is not impossible."

When Cao Mengde heard this, he understood what Zhao Yu meant and was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, okay! Doctor Hua Tuohua is in Puyang. If he knew that he could learn alchemy from his teacher, he would be very happy."

"Hua Tuo?" Zhao Yu smiled: "This is really a miracle doctor. By the way, there is Zhang Zhongjing in Jingzhou, which is also very amazing. It seems that he has been the prefect of Changsha and is also a miracle doctor."

"Zhang Zhongjing? Mr. Zhang, but Zhang Ji?" Cao Mengde had heard of this person and couldn't help but nod: "I have heard of it."

Zhao Yu said: "It is difficult to say whether it is difficult to make alchemy, but it is not easy to say it is easy. It is difficult for ordinary doctors to learn it. You need such a miracle doctor to make achievements in a short time. The more people who know how to refine alchemy, the naturally there will be pills. However, whether it is Yangyuan Pill or Jingyuan Pill, it is quite popular. Once the method of refining alchemy can spread, the demand for this medicinal material will probably skyrocket."

"Sir, I mean..." Cao Mengde's heart turned: "Do you have to grow medicinal materials like growing grain?"

"That's right." Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Look, you have already popularized the superficial levels of the Five Elements Boxing Classic to rule the people, which has led to a huge demand among the people. Think about how many people practice martial arts? When you dominate the world, tens of millions of people have to practice martial arts. How much consumption will it cost? How can you meet the needs without planting medicinal materials on a large scale?"

He also said: "In addition, this is not only a huge source of wealth, but also a good thing that can make many people profit by planting medicinal materials, killing two birds with one stone."

After hearing this, Cao Mengde immediately painted that kind of scene in his heart.

This is clearly a brand new industry!

He couldn't help but suck his hands and said, "Good method, good method!"

He said: "After I go back, I will start with this."

Zhao Yu said: "I will sort out the methods for planting various medicinal materials needed to cultivate these elixirs, so as to save you time to explore, just popularize them. In my opinion, if you want the people to plant medicinal materials now, it is probably not possible. People often have doubts about new things. It is better to use it as a benefit - set a regulation for large-scale medicinal materials, and only if the government allows it to plant it. You regard this qualification as a reward, which can also be regarded as giving some benefits to the civil and military generals under your command. They all know that the elixir is good and they will definitely be happy."
