Chapter 2504 Move(2/2)
The wild ducks living in the siege were the first to hear the thunder, and they immediately rattled their wings and flew, and then caused the other birds to fly as they followed the trend and became a mess.
Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, and several important figures in the Cao family's political group let go of their fingers covering their ears and looked at the unsightly-looking straw man in the distance in surprise.
The sulphur, saltpeter and charcoal mixture does smell bad after it explodes.
But Xiahou Dun couldn't wait to snatch the torch from the guards on the side, walked to the front and lit another thing called "Five Elements Thunder", and then ran away...
Another loud noise.
Cao Cao did not block his ears this time.
"Yuan Rang, compared to before..." Cao Cao felt that his eardrums seemed to be shaking slightly, which made his voice rise a little. Then he realized that he deliberately stopped for a while before coughing, "How is it compared?"
Xiahou Dun was closer. After the explosion, he jumped out of the deep pit and looked at the wreckage in the pit. Now he returned to Cao Cao's side, his expression was a little solemn, "It seems more... than before...
Xiahou Dun couldn't find any more accurate adjectives for a while.
This is almost something that crosses the ages.
In the evolution of human beings, words are cross-ages, and knowing how to use fire is also cross-ages. Now, gunpowder is almost cross-ages.
Before gunpowder, most of the killing was physical, and when it came to gunpowder, humans began to touch the hem of the chemistry lady's skirt.
Of course, the chemistry lady has a bad temper, and maybe she just splashed her sulfuric acid on her face...
Xiahou Dun had suffered from gunpowder back then. Although he had not tasted the shadowless leg of the Chemistry lady himself, his vitals were also the kind that was kicked to hurt, so Xiahou Dun also had a deep understanding of gunpowder. Then Xiahou Dun discovered that the young lady's temper seemed to have increased again now.
General Fei Qian of the Cavalry sent someone to send such a batch of finished gunpowder products, and Cao Cao could not display it in public, so he chose to go to such a relatively sparsely populated land.
Cao Cao was silent for a while, and then said, "When the Cavalry entered Chang'an, someone suggested to build the city wall again, but the Cavalry refused it. Now it seems... the Cavalry was probably developing this thing at that time... Once this thing came out, there would be no wall in the world..."
In this era, most of the city walls were made of rammed earth and bricks, so as long as the amount of gunpowder was sufficient, the city walls did not have any effect.
"Some things need to be changed... It's amazing, it's mixed with sand and gravel, yellow and charcoal, and it's so powerful... Cavalry, Cavalry..." Cao Cao said slowly, just like the wind in the big lake.
Xiahou Dun stood beside him, "Lord..."
『Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, it’s convenient for this marsh…』 Cao Cao smiled, stretched out his hand, and pointed forward, 『Although it’s not here, it’s also this marsh!』
Cao Cao looked into the distance, as if his eyes were passing through the fog of history, and saw the past and the future. "In the past, Chen and Wu rose up and Liu Xiang and Chuhe confronted each other. Who would have thought that the current Han Dynasty had also embarked on the old road of the Six Kingdoms? It's funny, ridiculous..."
"Fei Ziyuan, is this what you gave me? Or...the question you want to ask me?"
"The vicissitudes of heaven and earth, and the years change! All things evolve, and people's hearts are different!"
"The wind is rising!"
Cao Cao laughed loudly, his voice loudly, which made the sound of his laughter echoing in the Daze.
Cao Cao laughed so hard that tears seemed to flow out.
In the cave, laughter flew away not only the reed flowers, but also the dreams he had when he was young.
The five-color stick at the northern city gate of Luoyang...
The drums of grievances outside the Dunqiu County Government...
In the Jingxin Hall at home in Qiao County...
The unforgettable letter on the table of Emperor Ling of Han...
The heads of corrupt officials who were cut down in Jinan...
The broken armor and combat robe in the granary of the Dianjun Academy Captain, the weak white-haired veterans in the queue...
Cao Cao laughed and flew past his eyes one by one.
Is this big man good?
good.
Is this big man evil?
evil.
What's even more ridiculous is that good people are bullied, while bad people are in power. Cao Cao originally wanted to do some good things, but whenever he was about to do or started doing a good thing, he would be stopped immediately. Then someone would persuade him, scold him, and even kill him.
Cao Cao once asked Xun Yu a question, where did the money and taxes paid by these Han people go? Xun Yu couldn't answer. Because there were reports of their respective taxes and materials paid in various places, but for no reason, as soon as they arrived in Xu County, many things disappeared, some of which were neither stored in the warehouse nor distributed, and disappeared out of thin air. Even Xun Yu couldn't find out!
Xun Yu can only guarantee the integrity of "general"...
Or, "Don't go too far."
But Cao Cao just wanted to ask, "Why?"
Why is it so difficult to really do a good thing on the land of Dahan?!
So the one who helped Cao Cao and supported him now turned out to be the opponent of Guanzhong!
"You know, I know, the cavalry knows, and the emperor knows..." Cao Cao laughed loudly, waving his sleeves in the wind, "Only the people of the world don't know! So even if you know, I know, the cavalry knows that the emperor knows, you can still pretend not to know! Just like when Chen and Wu tried their best to overthrow the Former Qin Dynasty, but Liu Xiang was competing for profit!"
『Hahaha! Ridiculous!』
"sad!"
"The superior has something to like! The subordinate must be even more so!"
『Yingchuan! Nanyang! Emperor's Township! Shandong! This is the walls of the city!" Cao Cao shouted and pointed at it, as if there were such walls of the city in the void. 『Chen Wenchang submitted a letter to impeach Xun Wenruo! Is this impeachment? This is warning someone! Yingchuan! But it is not just the Yingchuan in front of him! There are people from Yingchuan from all directions! Yingchuan's wall!"
