Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 145
In the entire Cao Mansion study, everyone's eyes were focused on Xi Zhicai.

And Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke loudly.

"One thing... Let's start with the fact that Lu Gongcao is indeed of the Yin-Yang school, and his calculations are accurate."

"It doesn't matter if the five qi and eight luck, or the yin and yang and the five elements, if Lu Gongcao is right, the current situation is that the three armies are short of food, but there is a severe drought in April, locusts in June, and no harvest in July. It's even more difficult. And Lu Bu's army's advantage in food and grass will not only not shrink, but will be infinitely enlarged. In this way, it is better to rush than to attack Puyang slowly!"

"The lesser of two evils! Besides, if all these calculations are true, then our army's attack on Puyang is not an option, but imminent. You must know that the food stored in Puyang City can solve the urgent need of drought and locust plagues. "

Speaking of this... Xi Zhi paused for a moment, and his tone became more serious.

"Secondly, let's take Lu Gongcao's erroneous deduction of yin and yang and five elements as an example. The harvest in July is abundant, and our army has plenty of food and grass. It is true that Lu Bu's army's food and grass advantage no longer exists at that time, but we were in the clear at that time. We can Thinking of attacking Lu Bu in July, how could he, Lu Bu's son and Chen Gong's old dog, not think of it?"

"At that time, they must have recruited troops, built cities, stabilized people's hearts, and made perfect preparations. At that time...even if we can gnaw this bone, we have to knock out a few teeth. Instead of doing this, why not Following the way, how could Lu Bu have thought that we would be overwhelmed by a large army even though we lacked troops and food? Perhaps... Lu Gongcao's yin and yang family's thesis has no other purpose than this."

"Three..."

Before Xi Zhicai could speak, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xun You's eyes were fixed, and they were thinking carefully about Xi Zhicai's words.

It's strange to say, even more preposterous to say it, this seems...incredibly absurd theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, but the four most resourceful people in Cao Ying are discussing and daydreaming here and again.

"Zhicai, your third article is about Lu Yu's talk about raising money?" Xun Yu keenly found something in Xi Zhicai's eyes, and immediately asked...

"Exactly!" Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "The reason why we plan to attack Puyang City in July is the food and grass, but Lu Yu vowed that he can solve the food and grass problem, since... the food and grass problem has been solved, then today What is the difference between attacking Puyang City and attacking Puyang City three months later?"

"Besides, based on Lu Gongcao's previous predictions, insight into the current situation, and various inferences, Xi can predict that he will never lie. And when he said that the food and grass are safe, it must be because he has thought of the method of raising food for a long time. , he will definitely be able to raise food and supply it to the front line.”

ho...ho...

Xi Zhicai's words are very direct and special. To sum it up, it doesn't matter whether Lu Yu is a Yin-Yang family. If he is right, this battle should be fought; even if he is wrong, this battle can be fought; If you can raise food, all your worries will be completely eliminated. What are you waiting for? Just do it.

Seeing Xi Zhicai rolling up his sleeves and planning to do it, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xun You were inexplicably inspired...

A bold idea emerged from their minds - this Puyang is not going to make a quick attack!

Immediately, none of the four smartest members of Cao Ying raised any doubts.

Of course, this involves a risky issue. Lu Yu's mysterious and mysterious identity of the Yin-Yang family comes first, and the words of Xi Zhicai's penetrating words come second.

In case of a severe drought in April, migratory locusts in June, and no harvest in July, then the pot... will not be carried by Lu Yu, nor by Xi Zhicai, nor by Cao Cao, but The unlucky ones who questioned go to memorize.

If you dare to take credit for your contribution, I will take the blame?Xun Yu and Xun You are both smart people, so they wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

"What does Gongda think?" Cao Cao looked at Xun You, the always serious counselor.

At this time, his eyes were rolling.

"Ming Gong, the key to defeating the enemy is surprise. If the timing of the attack is seen through by others, then how can it be called a 'strange' word. Immediately attacking Puyang is beyond our expectation, and it is also beyond the enemy's expectation. The so-called winning by surprise is enough to catch Lu Bu and Chen Gong by surprise, but in this situation, they are more likely to make mistakes, and they are more likely to leave us with a chance to break the city!"

Xun You is always like this, his voice is very low, not loud, and there is even a slight breeze, but it is enough for Cao Cao to make up his mind.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Cao Cao laughed out loud. "Since everyone thinks this way, then let's send a victorious army to Puyang City, and wipe out Lu Bu, a capricious villain who hurts people behind his back!"

"Come on!" Cao Cao shouted.

"Mr. Cao..." Several soldiers quickly walked into the study.

"Pass down my military order. Tomorrow, a [-]-strong army will march out to Puyang City. Miaocai will be the vanguard. Governor Zilian will serve as the rear army. I, Cao Cao, will personally lead the Chinese army. If you don't take back Puyang City, you will never stop!"

"Here!" After Cao Cao ordered, the soldiers bowed their hands and retreated, and immediately sent orders to the three armies.

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You looked at each other for some reason...

They actually felt that this time, this seemingly extremely unreliable method of 'five qi and eight luck, and the calculation of yin and yang', the inferred counterattack against Puyang City was as stable as a dog!

hiss…

Everyone has a feeling of ignorance.

Wait... Xun Yu still thought of something, he reminded: "Duke Ming came back this time to attend the eldest daughter's wedding with Xiahou Zilin? Tomorrow... will you send troops to Puyang?"

Big wedding... Speaking of Cao Mu and Xia Houmao's big wedding, Xi Zhicai and Xun You also reacted, for this... They have already prepared a generous gift, and they are still waiting for the wedding wine!

But... this topic has just been brought up.

Cao Cao scratched his head. "Big wedding? What big wedding?" Cao Cao pretended to be puzzled and pretended to be stupid for a while. "Why don't I remember Mu'er's big wedding, hey, I've been too busy lately... I can't remember some things!"

uh... this...

Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, and they seemed to understand something from Cao Cao's words.

Did Mr. Ming turn his back on him?
If so?

As for Xiahoudun... for a while, the three of them were a little worried about Xiahoudun's mood. If Cao Cao refused to admit it, then Xiahoudun's temper would definitely be furious, right?

Oh... no wonder Duke Cao didn't appoint Xiahou Dun as the vanguard general this time!
It is so, it is so!

...

...

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will go first.

Cheng Yu, who was shopping for grain in Fan County, received a familiar letter and hurriedly opened it.

The letter was sent by Lu Yu, and Cheng Yu had already thought of the content in advance.

When Cao Cao personally led an army of [-] troops to Puyang three days ago, Cheng Yu had arrived—the three armies had not moved, and the food and grass had gone first.

Speaking of which, in the whole of Yanzhou, Xuzhou... Cheng Yu is the only one who can draw food and grass now.

These are all grains purchased at a price several times the normal grain price, and it has almost used up all the gold and silver he has stolen from the prince's tomb in the past four months.

Cheng Yu expected... Lu Yu's high price purchase of grain must be to help the front line.

Of course, Cheng Yu also thought about why not wait for the harvest in July, but it was quite similar to Xi Zhicai's idea, Cheng Yu felt that Lu Yu was playing a big game of chess.

"Is all the ministries ready?" Cheng Yu's face was not showing any joy or anger... "Send all the food and grass to the front line in Puyang within ten days!"

Cheng Yu immediately ordered...

Cheng Yu had prepared the food carts, troops, and cart coolies a few days ago, and had long waited for Lu Yu's order.

"Cheng Sima..." A centurion riding on Long Xiao looked at the grain truck in front of him and asked suspiciously: "Master Lu asked us to send grain to the front line in Puyang, but... I heard that Mr. Cao dispatched 5 people this time, According to the consumption of this number of soldiers and horses, the food can only last for a month at most!"

"But... Mr. Lu seems to have promised Mr. Cao that there will be a continuous supply of food... then... in the future..."

No wonder the centurion was worried.

The military rations consumed by 5 people every day is an astronomical figure. In addition, the new rations are not available yet, the old rations are in short supply, and the price of food has skyrocketed. Cheng Yu can only buy [-] troops for a month. .

And this is actually what Cheng Yu is worried about...

There are Lu Bu and Chen Gong in Puyang City, but they are not rookies like Tao Qian, and they may not be able to take them down within a month.

but…

Thinking of Lu Yu, Cheng Yu's eyes flashed with confidence. "Let's deliver this month's food first. We have to trust Mr. Lu. Since he dares to boast about going to Haikou, he must have thought about it. Let's not worry about it."

"The final general is guilty, and the final general should not question Mr. Lu."

Hearing this, the centurion bowed his hands to plead guilty...

Cheng Yu patted him on the shoulder. "It's okay, let alone you, I am really worried about the follow-up food supply, but now..."

Cheng Yu paused, looked back at the empty warehouse, and said with emotion:
"It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu thought of something. "By the way, have you sent people to Bingzhou and Yangzhou to buy upland rice and rice seeds?"

"It's almost there." The centurion said truthfully. "It's just... where are the seeds going? I heard that the upland rice needs some moisture in the soil itself, and the rice needs a lake... But Yanzhou..."

To put it bluntly, the core of promoting rice fields is the lack of lakes...

The best place to plant upland rice is terraced fields around lakes, so that there is plenty of water in the soil. The most powerful thing about upland rice is that it can lock this water.

As for the rice... no water?Still have a hammer.

The centurion wanted to say that there are only big rivers in Yanzhou... There are no lakes at all, and it is impossible to reclaim fields around lakes!Which one should I go to?
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. Just now he pleaded guilty and shouldn't question Mr. Lu.

Huh... Cheng Yu exhaled, he could understand what the centurion meant.

"Creating mountains every mountain, filling lakes without lakes, Mr. Lu will find a way, definitely will... Who is he? He is the leader of our Longxiao battalion, he is Cao Gong's shogunate hero, he makes ghosts afraid How can you be stumped by a small lake? Just wait, just wait!"

...

...

Yanzhou, Puyang City, a martial arts arena.

"Look at me, look at the tricks, look at the tricks, look at the tricks!"

A long spear shot through the darkness before dawn like an arrow of daybreak. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old woman was practicing with the spear. Silver stars were shining on the tip of the spear. When the cold new wind blew, the cracks in the wall became more and more cold.

And in front of this woman, the one who was training against her was the leader of the trapped faction——Gao Shun.

"The gun is the king of all soldiers, stab it with the aura of a king, hurry up, hurry up, you must be confident when shooting the gun!"

"Spearmanship is mainly based on blocking, holding, and piercing the spear, commonly known as blocking and piercing!"

"Blocking and holding are defensive spear skills. Blocking can block an attack, and holding can seize the enemy's weapon. Only piercing is an offensive spear technique! Come... piercing!"

Gao Shun was instructing while sparring with the woman, it seemed quite relaxed, his left hand stroked the spear in his hand from time to time, his movements were gentle, his fingers slid down the spear inch by inch, like stroking a lover's skin, his eyes were full of love.

Gao Shun's weapon is a gun, and he has always valued the gun more than his wife.

In the same way, Gao Shun had no reservations about the guidance of the woman in front of him on spear skills.

"There are three types of guns: upper level, middle level, and lower level. The middle level gun is the most powerful."

"As the saying goes, the middle is the best, the best is the most difficult to defend!"

"Your spear skills are too slow, or too slow, what did the master teach you? The spear is like a dragon coming out of the water, and the spear is like a tiger returning to the gate!"

laugh…

The tip of the woman's gun pierced the air, causing a sharp sound.

After stabbing out a mid-level spear, she immediately put away the long spear, and then stabbed out quickly again, once out and then retracted, the movements were coherent and fast.

"Not bad!"

It was rare to hear Gao Shun boasting about the woman in front of him.

The woman frowned. "Master Gao is what you said, you have to be confident when shooting a gun, the gun is like fire, the gun is like my heart, within six feet, I am invincible!"

"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Gao Shun was amused, this girl became more confident, and she was a fast learner.

...

On a high platform next to the Martial Arts Field, Lu Bu stood side by side with a woman.

This woman's appearance is not gorgeous, maybe because she is in her 30s, her skin is far less flamboyant than that of a little girl... But from the deep eyes, it can be seen that this woman is extremely stable and experienced. many.

She is Lv Bu's official wife, Mrs. Yan. Lv Bu has a wife and a concubine. His wife, Mrs. Yan, was married when he was stationed at Yanmen in the past. She has been separated from Lv Bu all these years. They have a daughter named Lu Lingqi.

The concubine is the famous Diao Chan, who is now pregnant and rarely goes out to meet people. He is said to have a beautiful face, so gorgeous that the moon can be shy enough to hide in the clouds.

Now Diao Chan is thinking about the name of the fetus in her womb. For a boy... Diao Chan wants to call him Wushuang, and for a daughter, Lingju.

Having said that... At this moment, Lu Bu and his wife, Mrs. Yan, were staring at the martial arts arena.

As for the reason, there is no other reason, it was their daughter Lu Lingqi who was training against Gao Shun in the martial arts arena.

"As expected of my Lu Bu's daughter, Lingqi's spear skills have improved again, haha, hahaha..."

Lu Bu showed a fatherly smile...

Madam Yan shook her head. "How can a girl fight and kill all day long? How decent is this? I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good one!"

"How could it be?" Lu Bu immediately waved his hand. "Lingqi is so good at fighting at such an age, then she will be the enemy of thousands of people in the future. With such martial skills, in my opinion, she will marry Yinlin in the future. Hahaha, they are a good match for each other! "

In fact, there is such a saying in the market, if someone's daughter is particularly beautiful, or particularly talented, or has a skill, then it must be boasted, and she will definitely be able to marry Yinlin in the future!
This is equivalent to always saying when boasting, your son will definitely be admitted to Tsinghua University, Peking University...a concept.

That's what Lu Bu said, which is almost equivalent to praising his daughter.

"Ma'am, look at Lingqi's moves. This spear is like a poisonous dragon. It shuttles back and forth and stabs repeatedly. It can be seen from the momentum of breaking the wind... When it comes to spear skills, Lingqi is not weaker than Hou Cheng and Wei Xu." Wait, haha... General Gao Shun taught us well, and our daughter is also very talented."

Lu Lingqi is naturally talented...

Perhaps because her father is Lu Bu, she is almost a god of supernatural power, but in her teens, when it comes to strength, it is difficult to find a match among men of the same age.

The reason why he chose to use a gun as a weapon instead of Fang Tian's painted halberd... is because Fang Tian's painted halberd is extremely difficult to operate.

It's not just about strength, it's more about skill. If you don't practice it for more than ten years, you won't understand it at all. For women, it's more suitable to use the spear of the leader of a hundred soldiers.

"Alas..." Mrs. Yan let out a long sigh when she heard Lu Bu praise her daughter.

It's not that she is worried about her daughter getting married in the future. In fact, there is nothing to worry about. At most, her son-in-law will suffer a little bit of grievance and physical pain... What Mrs. Yan is most worried about now is the situation in Puyang City.

Cao Cao led an army of [-] to suppress the country, even though she lived in the house, she had heard about it, but the current husband, Lu Bu, did not see the slightest worry...

Even... I still have the time to watch my daughter practice guns here, and I can still laugh... Madam Yan really can't understand, but she is a woman, women are not allowed to meddle in military affairs, and I feel very awkward for a while.

at this time.

"Marquis Wen..."

A voice came from behind, and Lu Bu and Mrs. Yan turned around at the same time, and it was none other than Lu Bu's schemer—Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai—who appeared in front of them.

"Sir..." Seeing Chen Gong, Lu Bu, who was still smiling all of a sudden, suddenly became serious, as if he was facing an enemy!
However, Chen Gong's words came out first.

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, everything has been arranged, and the detailed information has been sent back. As expected, Cao's army has only one month's food and grass despite their menacing attack..."

"Everything is under our control. Cao Jun will be defeated in one month, and we will capture him alive, Cao Aman!"

Sworn...

"Hahahaha..." Lu Bu laughed loudly, with Chen Gong beside him.

It was as if he had found his backbone, and his whole person became confuse and confident.

And Chen Gong's strategy this time really surprised him!

Madam Yan frowned, everything is under control?So how do the husband and Mr. Gongtai plan to defeat Cao Jun?How do you plan to capture Cao Cao alive?

Really... as they say, everything is under control?
