Seeing her husband leaving, Chen Yan secretly made up her mind to handle this matter well.

Not long after Cao Anmin left, a person strode in from outside the house, looked around for a moment and asked, "Is Anmin not in the house?"

Chen Yan, who was clearing the table and case, realized the person came, raised her head, and was stunned.

"Uncle, why are you here!"

Chapter 29 Sandbox and Chess

The person who came in the house was none other than Cao Cao Cao Mengde, the current general who regards the emperor as a plaything in his palm.

Since Cao Anmin was assassinated again, Cao Cao wanted to come as soon as he heard the news, but he didn't expect to be entangled in government affairs and couldn't get away. In addition, Cao Anmin was not injured, so he was delayed.

Just passed by today, so I thought about going in to have a look.The guards at the gate did not pass the message under Cao Cao's signal, which allowed Cao Cao to enter the inner mansion without anyone noticing.

"My niece and daughter-in-law have lost a lot of weight. Is it because the cooks in the mansion are not good at cooking?"

Chen Yan shook her head: "Before I was born, I missed my husband, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep at night, so I lost a lot of weight."

"Anmin is back now, you young couple should hurry up and work hard, I want to hug my grandson as soon as possible."

Cao Cao's words made Chen Yan blush, and she took the silk and prepared to leave.

"What is this?" Cao Cao took the silk silk in his hand and looked at it.

"Reporting to uncle, this is a gadget made by my husband himself, and he said it is a gadget that connects entertainment and military affairs."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. He claimed to be well-informed, but this was the first time he saw such a unique shape.

"Anmin also fiddled with something in the study. If you are interested, uncle, you might as well go to the study."

When Cao Cao heard the words, his servants led the way to the study.

The study room was in a mess, with sand scattered on the ground everywhere.Cao Anmin and his cronies squatted on the ground, looking at the sand dune in front of them.

"What else is different?"

Yao Guangxiao observed the album in his hand, recalled the scene in his mind, and shook his head for a while.

"My lord, this sand is something children like to play with, and I, Tieniu, don't know how to play with it." Li Kui sat on the ground with his mouth turned up, pretending to be indifferent.

Cao Anmin didn't bother to respond to this barbarian, and fixed his gaze on the sand.

"I named this object the sand table. I believe you guys have already seen the mystery of it. For generals who don't know geography, they will end up like iron bulls. With this, the generals can copy and simulate various landforms on the terrain. Such scenarios of war scenes can reduce tactical mistakes.”

When Tieniu heard about him, he wanted to raise an argument, but what the lord said was indeed true.I don't know a lot of Chinese characters, and my knowledge is short. Being a general is already smoke from the grave of the Li family's ancestors. If I really let myself be the commander, I really don't have that ability.

"Zi said: three people must have my teacher, Guangxiao today is like enlightenment, enlightenment, such a fetish master can think of it, admire it."

"Ding! The host is being scanned by Yao Guangxiao's appreciation."

"Ding! Yao Guangxiao's intelligence is 98 points, which is in line with the strength of a super-first-class strategist. I will reward you with a golden gift bag."

"Two birds with one stone, cool!"

"I'm really curious about something that deserves everyone's praise." Cao Cao strode in at the door.

Cao Anmin and the others hurried forward to greet him.

Cao Cao waved his hand, looked around, and was immediately attracted by the sand table on the ground.

"Is this the invention my niece and daughter-in-law mentioned?"

"Exactly."

Cao Cao was originally a hero of the generation, after a little introduction by Cao Anmin, he immediately understood the horror of this thing in front of him.

Interested, Cao Cao even invited Cao Anmin to simulate a battle using the terrain of Runan.

Although the generals were all foreign ministers, Cao Cao and Cao Anmin had no airs on them, so everyone just stood by and watched and listened.

The sand table already existed in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, but it only had a prototype and was not popularized and used.Now that Cao Anmin brought it out, on the one hand, it was to dispel the boredom of living in seclusion; on the other hand, it was to pour some sewage on himself, so that those young people thought that they only liked strange skills and ingenuity, so as to eliminate their wariness towards themselves.

After a while, even though Cao Anmin tried his best, he was still defeated by Cao Cao.

"Oh! My nephew has lost."

"Haha, not bad, not bad, Anmin has made great progress compared to before, but there are still flaws in tactics."

As Emperor Wu of Wei, who will rule the north in the future, Cao Cao is not just an ordinary military strategist. Getting his comments and teachings is something that the world can't ask for.

"Please teach me, uncle."

"Fighting, courage. Anmin has far surpassed the world in this, even Zixiao is not as good as you; but fighting is only based on courage and courage, and it is okay to meet opponents of the same level. Once you encounter resourcefulness that focuses on defense It’s hard for a warlord to be undefeated. Just like just now, you knew that you were surrounded by my ten thousand infantry, but you still let your cavalry charge. Even if you can kill one thousand two thousand, sooner or later you will Die from exhaustion and battle. Uncle sent you a word, as a general, you must first protect yourself, once the general is successful, as long as the main general is still alive, he will not be considered a loser."

"Ding! The host received a call from Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao, and he was inspired. He rewarded him with 2 Commander Attributes."

"My nephew understands."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, only then remembered the roll of silk he was holding.

"I have already seen the sand table, but I don't know what this is?"

Cao Anmin had already seen the chess blueprint he had drawn when Cao Cao came in.

"Uncle, here are the chess board drawings and chess piece patterns."

"Chess?" The interest of several people was mobilized again.

"In the Runan War, my nephew felt it, and then invented this thing. This chess is as suitable for two players as Go. The red and black sides each have [-] pieces, each of which has its own moves. The place where the two sides will fight is on the pattern I drew." Then, Cao Anmin told Cao Cao the names and functions of the various chess pieces.

At first, Cao Cao remained calm.The impact of the sand table on him was not small, but he thought it was Cao Anmin's unintentional move.But the appearance of chess completely overturned Cao Cao's understanding,

The small chess piece contains the sum of knowledge from various ancient and modern art of war books, if this thing can be extended to the whole army.Not only can the personal abilities of the generals be quickly improved, but also more talents can be excavated from the army. Thinking of the great Wei talents in the future, Cao Cao feels that his whole body has endless strength.

"What is the cost of this item?"

In later generations, a pair of the most common chess can cost up to ten yuan.But this is the end of the Han Dynasty when there was no machinery at all, and the materials are different, so the cost is naturally different.

"Looking at the material, if it is ordinary wood carving, it only costs a few hundred dollars."

"Hiss..." Cao Cao sucked in a breath, and put aside all the plans in his mind.

"Okay! Okay!" After saying two good words in a row, Cao Cao stood up suddenly, and did not forget to take Cao Anmin's manuscript with him before leaving.

"Hey, uncle, my nephew drew it to play with. If you take it away, how can my nephew still play with it?"

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said, "You bastard, if you have such an important weapon in your mind, don't you tell me earlier, it would be good if I didn't punish you for the crime of delaying you. This thing will be confiscated as if you were guilty of meritorious deeds." It's gone." After finishing speaking, Cao Cao slipped away with a touch of oil on the soles of his feet.
