Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 170

Burst?

Is it a step too late after all?

Has the rice lost its hold?
Cao Cao asked three soul questions in his heart.

"What's the situation over there now? Has the upland and paddy rice been washed away?" Cao Cao asked eagerly

Everyone looked at the messenger in unison, and their emotions were raised in their throats.

It seems... the best situation now is to keep even a few hundred acres of rice fields!
But... everyone knows that when the dam bursts, the flood is overwhelming?The rice fields can be destroyed in an instant... It is just a beautiful vision to keep these tens of thousands of acres of rice fields!

Uh…

The messenger was a little dazed, his eyes shot straight at him, and he felt a little terrified, what's the matter?
Patting his chest lightly, the messenger continued to speak just now.

"Cao... Duke Cao, the rice... the rice is all right! Tens of thousands of acres of rice fields... haven't... haven't been washed away? Who... Who told Cao Gong that it was washed away?"

ah... ah...

As soon as this remark came out, the entire government office fell silent.

Cao Cao's pupils contracted, as if he had seen a ghost, he was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't the river dam burst?"

"It's a dike...but...but it's blocked again!" the messenger hurriedly replied...

He found that he couldn't finish a sentence at all, and someone always interrupted him, but... Mr. Cao was the one who interrupted him. I finish?

It seems... Cao Cao is aware of this problem, he shouldn't interrupt the messenger repeatedly, he immediately tried to calm down. "Say, finish your sentence!"

Only then did the messenger speak.

"The dam of the Taishou River burst. Fortunately... General Xiahou made thorough preparations in advance. More than [-] soldiers guarded the banks of the Taishou River, and thousands of sandbags were already ready!"

"When the embankment broke, the water was rushing, and the captain of the Longxiao Camp, Dianwei, jumped into the river at the forefront... with... his flesh and blood to resist the flood, and all the soldiers of the Longxiao Battalion jumped into the water one after another, forming a human wall!"

"Inspired by it, General Xiahou and his soldiers also jumped into it one after another, and countless farmers jumped into it...Thousands of people touched shoulders, holding hands in a daze. This gap was blocked by a human wall, supplemented by sandbags, and Taishou The torrent of the river did not flow back into the surrounding rice fields! Tens of thousands of acres of rice fields are safe and sound! Now... the gap is being reinforced, and nothing will happen!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

hiss…

In the entire government office, countless chills were gasped by a group of people!
Surprised, Cao Cao's eyes were full of astonishment!

And all the officials around, especially Mao Jie... His eyes were lost for a short time. Obviously, for a moment, his mind was completely muddled!how can that be?

Immediately afterwards, there was an uproar in the government office!
Everyone gradually woke up from the inconceivable, their eyes widened, their expressions extremely exaggerated, even...Xun Yu, who was always gentle, opened his mouth wide at this moment!

An atmosphere of horror that was so frightening that it was hard to breathe pervaded the entire government office.

Torrential rain pours down, river dam bursts...

Dian Wei jumped into the river first, followed by the soldiers of the Longxiao Battalion, then...Xiahou Dun and his soldiers, and then the peasants...

People say that water and fire are ruthless, but...they blocked the gap with their flesh and blood!

What a Dianwei, what a Long Xiaoying, what a Xiahou Dun, what a farmer!
There was an uproar, the entire government office was stunned and there was an uproar

and many more…

What did Cao Cao think of, not only him, many people thought of this...

Was Xiahou Dun already prepared?
He actually prepared thousands of sandbags in advance, and even led tens of thousands of soldiers to gather on the river bank at the first moment of rain!Always ready to fill in the gaps!
This...how could Xiahou Dun think of this?
With his temperament, how could he take emergency action at the first moment of rain?
Also... It seems that Xun Sima mentioned just now that Lu Gongcao once... mentioned to Xiahou Dun, asking him to pay attention to the flood prevention in August... Yes, the Longxiao Camp is also on the side of the embankment... Then...

In an instant, a bold idea appeared in everyone's minds.

Perhaps Lu Yu is not just a reminder, how will he even prevent floods?He also told Xiahou Dun the exact date of the torrential rain, so... only with such thorough preparations, was he able to keep the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land!

gosh...

As expected of Lu Yu, the Great Onmyoji, this time, he pretended to be there again!
Thinking of this level, everyone gasped again...

Awesome, Lu Gongcao, no...it’s the Yin-Yang School, the “Five Qi and Eight Lucks” and “Yin-Yang and Five Elements” are really awesome!

Faintly, some civil servants silently imprinted the three words "Yin Yang Family" in their hearts...

They thought, after this experience, they must study the theory of Yin-Yang School, this theory is not weaker than Confucianism and Taoism!This knowledge is practical, broad and profound!
call…

Take a long exhale.

The boulder hanging from Cao Cao's heart finally landed safely.

On the sunny, cloud-covered cheeks, it suddenly became clear again.

Wait... It seems that the boulder hanging in my heart hasn't landed yet?

Cao Cao suddenly remembered something and said sharply. "Come on, come on? Has Miaocai and Zilian set off to harvest the rice fields?"

The soldier on the side hurriedly said: "Report to Mr. Cao, at this time... I am afraid that the soldiers have been ordered, so they must have left the city gate?"

"Immediately... Call them back immediately, hurry up!" Cao Cao shouted immediately.

If Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong really went to grab the rice fields with their own orders, it would be the end of the calf!
The guards were well aware of the seriousness of the situation, and without hesitation, they ran out of the door as if flying...

You know, Xia Houyuan's army is known as the Speedy Battalion, with five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days. They can run faster than rabbits. It is not easy to catch up with them!

...

...

It has been raining, and the atmosphere is not harmonious.

Chenliu County, inside the Cai Mansion.

That night, Lu Yu stayed in the main hall all the time. He stood at the window, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, feeling the cold air coming. He was waiting for news from Taishouhe.

"Brother Yu still not sleeping?" Cai Zhaoji stood by Lu Yu's side, it was rare to see brother Lu Yu so nervous.

Of course, Cai Zhaoji knew that at this moment, brother Lu Yu was thinking about the tens of thousands of acres of rice fields?

This is the hope of Yanzhou in the coming year.

"Sister Zhaoji didn't sleep either?" Lu Yu asked back, then pointed to the rain outside the window, and said with emotion: "It was just a heavy rain, lightning and thunder! It poured down!"

According to a rough estimate, Lu Yu felt that... for the few hours just now, if converted into hours, the precipitation per hour would not be less than 200 millimeters!

More intuitively... at least it is equivalent to more than 100 West Lakes being poured into Yanzhou!

With such a large amount of rainfall pouring into the river, it is no surprise that the water flow will become extremely turbulent?
Considering the quality of the ancient dams, and considering that the embankment of Taishou River has been in disrepair for a long time, it is no wonder that the embankment does not break!

But here comes the problem, even if Xiahoudun, the cheap big brother, has made all the preparations, he may not be able to block it, and Lu Yu has no idea.

"Brother Yu, what if the rice fields are really washed away by the flood...then..." Cai Zhaoji's soft voice sounded again.

To be honest, she was also quite worried...

But I am not worried about the rice fields, but I am worried about Brother Yu. These upland rice and rice are the painstaking efforts of Brother Yu.

"No chance!" Lu Yu's answer was extremely firm. "I believe my elder brother, Dian Wei, and hundreds of brothers from the Longxiao Camp..."

For some reason, Lu Yu felt that Xiahoudun, Dianwei...and the brothers from the Longxiao Camp could do it. Even though it was very difficult and dangerous, he still felt...it could be done!

Most importantly, Xiahou Dun can still bring Lu Yu some so-called sense of peace of mind!
Speaking of it, although this cheap big brother is unreliable in war, he is still good at logistics.

Leaving aside the fictional elements in the deduction, according to the records in ancient books, after Xiahou Dun became blind, Cao Cao rarely sent him to the front line...

Most of the officials Xiahou Dun served in his life were generals, Sima, school lieutenants, and prefects. It can be seen from this that he managed logistics for a longer period of time and was quite effective!
In addition...he has a "fiery" spirit in his whole body. When someone insulted his master when he was 14 years old, he cut him off without saying a word!

With this "strength" in him, Lu Yu felt that... at least when it comes to preserving the rice, the persistence in his bones is trustworthy!
Thinking in this direction, Lu Yu's heart was somewhat calmer.

at this time…

"Master Lu, Master Lu..."

It sounded like Cao Anmin's voice. As Cao Cao's nephew, he had not joined the Longxiao camp for a long time, and Lu Yu's impression of him was still the same as Xun Yu's introduction...

At this moment, Cao Anmin came in a hurry. When he saw Lu Yu, he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment:
"It's saved. As Mr. Lu expected, there was a breach in the Taishou River. Fortunately...the manpower was sufficient, and a large number of sandbags were prepared in advance. Finally, the gap was blocked. Now the rain is easing and the river is no longer there. So fast... Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land have been saved!"

good guy...

Clenching his fists tightly, Lu Yu secretly said in his heart, "Good guy, my brother really stopped me!"

"well!"

Lu Yu turned around, even so, he still couldn't hide his excitement and ecstasy!
This is a heartfelt feeling of pride for the brothers!
As if thinking of something, Lu Yu tried his best to calm down and walked back to Cao Anmin's side.

"Anmin, you have to work hard again, and report this matter to Duke Cao!"

The voice just fell.

"No need to report!"

A crisp sound came from outside the door, followed by more than ten heavy footsteps.

Cao Cao came, and with him, a group of personal guards also came.

Wearing bamboo hats, they rushed to Lu Yu's side in the rain...

"Lu Gongcao, you must not know that after a long drought, there will be nectar, and the heavy rain in August brought me Cao Cao's surprise, which is not as good as your surprise in case!"

Translate, what the hell is a surprise?
Keeping the rice fields that are impossible to keep... This is called a surprise.

At this moment, Cao Cao's tone is rising, and his mood is also like this voice - high-pitched, passionate, and infinitely joyful.

"Hahaha…"

While laughing, Cao Cao took off his bamboo hat, and walked towards Lu Yu in a skipping motion... like a child who couldn't grow up.

The soldiers on the side were startled, and hurriedly chased Cao Cao with their bamboo hats...

Splashes of water…

When Cao Cao walked to Lu Yu's side, he seemed too excited and put his hands on his shoulders. "Lu Gongcao, you have contributed a lot to keeping ten thousand mu of rice fields this time... How do you want me to reward you?"

This…

Lu Yu paused slightly, what can I say?Houses, tickets, girls... He is not in short supply, it seems... Such a life is pretty good, there is nothing to pursue!

"Mr. Cao... this..."

Lu Yu originally wanted to say, this is my job, what kind of rewards are you talking about, how hurtful is it to talk about money!

This is a strategy... Lao Cao is like this, the less you want to reward, he will give it to you, and... still trust you with 120 points.

But on second thought...

Not to mention, Lu Yu really had something he wanted to ask, he glanced at Sister Zhaoji from the corner of his eye, that's right... Lu Yu wanted to ask Lao Cao for something for Sister Zhaoji!
It's just... now that Sister Zhaoji is by my side, if I say it... I won't be surprised.

Cao Cao is so smart, Lu Yu's little eyes glanced at him, and he immediately saw what he meant.

He stretched out his index finger and tapped Lu Yu in the air, and immediately... "Hahahaha..." Laughing and turning around.

"Xianmei, why are you still awake in the middle of the night?"

Ah...Cai Zhaoji was slightly taken aback when the topic was abruptly shifted here.

However, being well-educated, she quickly came back to her senses, and replied politely: "Brother, Brother Yu didn't sleep, and I couldn't sleep either..."

"How can Xianmei compare with your brother? He is a man... Xianmei is a woman. I heard from your sister-in-law that sleeping more is good for a woman's skin... As for your brother, it doesn't matter if you have skin or not. All you need is a smart head."

Cao Cao blurted out what he said, even Yumu's brain could hear it...

This is to let her, Cai Zhaoji, go to rest early, and the two of them will have a chat alone.

Cai Zhaoji smiled slightly. "Brother is right, then... little sister will go to rest."

Speaking of this, Cai Zhaoji did not forget to ask Lu Yu. "Brother Yu, don't stay here for too long, since the rice fields have been preserved, we should rest earlier."

Almost every day...Cai Zhaoji would tell Lu Yu to go to bed earlier.

It's like when acquaintances meet, they will ask where are you getting rich now?have you eaten?left?It's commonplace... no surprise.

Of course, in Cai Zhaoji's view, 16 years old is the age to grow taller. According to ancient books, more sleep can grow taller!
She can't think that her younger brother looks like her elder brother Cao Cao...

It's a pity that he is blessed with a heroic spirit, but he is short.

"Tap..."

With a light movement of lotus steps, Cai Zhaoji left slowly.

Cao Cao signaled, and a group of guards withdrew and stood guard in front of the door... Only Lu Yu and Cao Cao were left in the main hall.

Cao Cao took the initiative to get closer to Lu Yu, and then he took the initiative to speak.

"Lu Gongcao's request seems to be related to my virtuous sister, right? Haha... you might as well say it!"

This…

Lu Yu paused slightly.

"Lu Yu does have something to ask... Just like Mr. Cao said, it's about my sister."

Hehe, as expected.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered in his heart, it really is the deep love between siblings.

The elder sister always cares about the younger brother, and the younger brother always thinks about the elder sister. This kind of sister-brother bond, not to mention... Cao Cao is quite envious.

It's a pity, it's easy to find a wife, but I can't find my sister!

"Lu Gongcao, why don't you tell me?" Cao Cao sat down and listened attentively.

Lu Yu's tone became more serious. "Actually, my sister has always had a wish, and as a younger brother, I want to help her fulfill it."

"It's rebuilding Taixue, re-engraving Taixue Shijing... Let the scholars and scholars all over the world have a spiritual sustenance! Similarly, it can be regarded as letting my sister walk in his father's footsteps once!"

Huo... Taixue?
Do you study the Stone Classics too?
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's eyes flickered with confusion.

Taixue...that was the place buried deep in his memory.

In the former Taixue, he studied with Zhang Miao, Xu You, Hu Muban, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu. His master was "Qiao Xuan" who was called the eldest son of Qiao, and "Cai Yong", the leader of Dahong Confucianism and literati, There is Duan Jiong, one of the Three Mings of Liangzhou, Sima Fang who taught him Cao Cao's city defense skills, and Zheng Xuan, the founder of Zheng Xue, who is famous all over the world, also came to Tai Xue to give lectures... It was a period of time. What a glorious time!

Now, being mentioned by Lu Yu, suddenly...the past years came to mind and jumped into Cao Cao's mind.

And...in today's world, those students who have come out of Taixue seem to have...remarkable achievements one by one!
Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, Xun You, the military advisor of Cao Cao, Xu You, the military advisor of Yuan Shao, let alone the prefects, cannot be quantified at all...

The word Taixue has far-reaching meaning in the eyes of scholars all over the world!

And Yu'er wants to help the virtuous sister Cai Yan to recast the Taixue, this road is not easy to walk!
And... this road has to go, there is a major premise, that is, Cao Cao must first complete the feat of welcoming the emperor, only the imperial capital can open Taixue and recast Taixue Shijing!

Could it be... is Yu'er reminding Cao Cao that it's time to take the crucial step of "welcoming the emperor"?
Or, a pun?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes in vain...

At this time, Lu Yu's voice came out again.

"My sister has a long way to go to rebuild Taixue. The first thing to bear the brunt is Cao Gong to welcome the emperor to order the princes!"

"There is no rush for this matter, we have to take it one step at a time!"

"However...the severe drought and floods in the Central Plains are now over, but... Lu Yu wants to congratulate Cao Gong in advance. Cao Gong has three big joys in front of him!"

Huo…

Overjoyed?Still three piles.

At this time, Cao Cao's eyes widened in vain, he was too curious, what are these three joys in Yu'er's mouth?
Or rather...

What's so special about being overjoyed?
