Chapter 542 Finding Clues
"Prime Minister, the formula of this gunpowder is indeed correct."
"Although the composition is a bit mixed, if Pindao studies and analyzes it, it will definitely be able to make it even more powerful!"
In a secret base, a Taoist said to Cao Cao and his party.
This group of people is exactly Cao Cao and Xun Yu.
After Cao Cao got the formula, he came here immediately.
This secret base is responsible for the research and development of gunpowder, mainly the Taoist priests Cao Cao invited from some Taoist temples. The Taoist priests have a lot of research on alchemy.
They make elixirs every day and deal with various ores, so they naturally know what kind of materials are likely to cause explosions!
"That feeling is good!"
"This gunpowder is powerful, but the cost is a bit high!"
"Like cinnabar, quicksilver, and gold..."
"No wonder the number of Jiang Chen's gunpowder team has been controlled within a certain number!"
"It seems that it's not that he doesn't want to expand the scale, but because his strength doesn't allow it, some ores are more difficult to find!"
Cao Cao sighed.
After confirming that the formula was real, the big stone that Cao Cao was pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground, but he also lamented that the cost of this thing was too high.
Even some local troops cannot afford to play if they want to.
Only those like Cao Cao, who can mobilize the financial resources of the whole country, can play well. Cao Cao also felt that this might be a gift from God.
Like many materials, they are all produced in the territory under his control.Even if Jiang Chen wanted it, he had no chance to get it.
"Prime Minister, since the words about gunpowder are true!"
"Presumably the blueprint of the musket is not fake, why not let the Ministry of Industry imitate it immediately?"
“Then try it out and, if it works, go into production right away!”
"Create a powerful musket force as soon as possible, so that by strengthening training, they can quickly form combat effectiveness!"
Xun Yu next to him suggested.
"Wen Ruo's words make sense!"
"It's just a pity that I didn't get the drawing of the artillery!"
"It would be perfect if there was a drawing of that thing!"
Cao Cao said with some regret.
"Prime Minister, after passing this time, then Jiang Chen will definitely strengthen his defense!"
"It will even be transferred. Now our army's spies in Hanzhong are almost wiped out!"
"In this situation, if we send spies to Hanzhong again, we will undoubtedly expose ourselves!"
"This matter needs to be figured out slowly!"
Jia Xu next to him persuaded.
"What the two lovers said is very true to the truth!"
"You really shouldn't be too impulsive now, first paralyze Jiang Chen, and then give him a thunderous blow!"
Cao Cao nodded, and then continued:
"Now, several parties have maintained a tacit understanding of peaceful development for the time being!"
"If the musket has been built, I don't know how to train soldiers!"
"If you just shoot targets in the field, you will definitely not be able to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers quickly!"
Cao Cao's worries are not unreasonable. Everyone wants to make their troops instantly combat effective.
Only in this way can he have more bargaining chips to compete for the world.
"Prime Minister, since that Jiang Chen is already training soldiers on the grassland!"
"Why can't we train troops in the grassland?"
"I think our army can act like the Hanzhong Army and put all the blame on Jiang Chen!"
"In this way, the ethnic groups on the grassland will definitely hate Jiang Chen to the bone!"
"When fighting for the world in the future, the Prime Minister can even unite the grassland peoples and let them become the sword in the Prime Minister's hand. Maybe there will be unexpected gains!"
A gloomy look flashed across Jia Xu's eyes.
His strategies, I have to say, are very dark, but they are extremely effective. When he proposed it at this time, Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Wenhe's words are really wonderful!"
"Just follow Wen He's plan, and leave it to Wen He to supervise!"
"Be sure to equip the musketeers to the army as soon as possible, and then send the trusted generals to the grasslands for training!"
Cao Cao nodded.
Anyway, the prairie is vast and boundless, and there are countless prairie tribes living on it.
Cao Cao also wished to kill more people. Now there are at least millions of people on the grasslands.
After hundreds of years of development, without wars, the population of the grasslands developed quite fast, and soon a planned and organized military force was formed.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have the "Five Husbands" incident in the later period. They even regarded the killing of Han people as a competition, killing millions of people in the Central Plains.
And Cao Cao and Jiang Chen's unintentional military training activities on the grassland are gradually eliminating the tribes on the grassland, making their power smaller and smaller.
The ethnic groups on the grassland did not even notice that the butcher knives had been stretched out onto the grassland unintentionally. It seemed that the meeting of the Five Hus and the Chinese that they planned had not been held yet.
However, this is all for later!
"By the way, how's the matter with Yuan Zhi?"
"Is there any clue?"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at Xun Yu.
"Back to the prime minister, I sent someone to express condolences, but it is true that there are no vital signs!"
"It should be true!"
"After all, it is impossible for a person to not breathe for a few days!"
"There shouldn't be such a magical medicinal material!"
"It was buried the day before yesterday. I have sent people to keep an eye on it for two days. No one came near it!"
"There are still people staring there. If someone has a conspiracy, they must be discovered immediately!"
Xun Yu replied.
"So good!"
"Since he is dead, give him a posthumous title!"
"After all, he is also a minister of the Prime Minister in name!"
Cao Cao nodded and said.
"Prime Minister, there is something very strange about this matter!"
Xun Yu suddenly thought of something and reported to Cao Cao.
"How strange?"
Cao Cao was shocked and asked quickly.
"That is Xu Shu's old mother. After Xu Shu was buried, she said that she would go to the temple to pray for her son for 49 days, so as to comfort her son's spirit in heaven!"
Xun Yu replied.
"His mother has always doted on her son!"
"Besides, his mother believes in Buddhism, so it is normal for her to behave like this!"
"What's so strange?"
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand what Xun Yu meant by expressing this. This is human nature, especially for an old lady who believes in Buddhism.
"The key issue is that in the White Horse Temple, I sent people to inquire, but no trace of the old lady was found. This is very puzzling to me!"
"Isn't there some secret nunnery in White Horse Temple?"
Xun Yu expressed his confusion.
