Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 56
Next to a row of barren fields outside Xuchang City, stood a group of important officials of the Han court.

Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others surrounded Cao Cao who was wearing a black robe with his hands in his belt.

Everyone was watching a sergeant driving a ox and pulling a Quyuan plow to open up wasteland.

The cattle walked to the other side of the ridge without hindrance, and turned a corner flexibly to turn up the second row of soil.

After just such a back and forth, they saw the difference in efficiency between Qu Yuanli and Zhi Yuanli, and they couldn't help being dumbfounded.

After a while, Xun Yu, who was the first to react, ignored the mud on the field, jumped in and touched the dirt that had just been turned up with his hands, his expression froze immediately.

"Lingjun, how is it?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.

"One foot! The depth of eating soil is a full foot!"

Xun Yu's words made everyone gasp. Not to mention the high efficiency of Quyuanli, it can also eat more soil than Zhiyuanli. It is really a magic weapon.

"Ingenious workmanship, ingenious workmanship!"

After Xun Yu stopped the cattle, he looked at Qu Yuanli and said in admiration: "This Qu Yuanli only needs one person and one cattle, which is more efficient than the three people and two cattle in the past, regardless of the saving of cattle and labor." More wasteland can be reclaimed.

Compared with the past, the autumn harvest may increase by five times, ten times, or even more! "

As a servant of the Han Dynasty, Xun Yu was in charge of all government affairs, and the most troublesome thing for him was farming. The war was raging, and the loss was huge. With a magic weapon like Quyuanli, food and grass The problem can be greatly alleviated.

"And this keel waterwheel!"

Xun Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, pointing to the waterwheel that was running not far away, and said, "Just now I roughly calculated that a pair of waterwheels can irrigate dozens of acres of land around, and Sikong won't have to worry about food and grass in the future." Yeah."

Cao Cao listened to what he said before, and he only knew that the Quyuanli and the keel waterwheel brought back from Xuzhou were good things, but Xun Yu’s last words were true to his ears. With the combination of these two agricultural tools, he no longer had to worry about food. .

For Cao Cao, this is undoubtedly exciting news.

He once compared himself with Yuan Shao. With the emperor in his hands, Xuchang represented the orthodox place in the world, and the gap in recruiting talents in terms of family background no longer existed.

But the gap in food and grass is irreversible.

Apart from Yuan Shao's occupation of Jizhou and other places, the Yuan family's family background is indeed well-off.

Well now, don't worry about it.

He looked at the 20-year-old burly young man beside him, and said with great satisfaction, "Zixiu, you did a good job this time. If you bring back these two artifacts, this year's spring plowing will be greatly improved. I will no longer worry about food."

"Thank you father."

Cao Ang, who was wearing a black armor, had a dark complexion, but his young face showed the fortitude of a warrior. He clasped his fists and said, "The spies from Xuzhou brought back a piece of news that my father is interested in."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he let out a little surprise, "What news?"

"The Quyuanli and the keel waterwheel were invented by a young man named Lin Mo. It is said that this man is not only good at natural craftsmanship, but also possesses the talents of the heaven and the latitude. He ambushed our army outside Peicheng and Lu Bu attacked Shouchun. All from this man's hands."

Hearing this, Cao Cao trembled as if struck by lightning, then his eyes widened, and he ran up to Cao Ang and put his shoulders on his shoulders and said, "Where is this person, there is a way to bring him back to see me!"

"He is Lu Bu's son-in-law."

As soon as Cao Ang finished speaking, Cao Cao's originally hopeful eyes dimmed instantly, and his hands fell down weakly, "I have already guessed that there is an expert behind Lu Bu, but I don't want to be a boy."

He let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "God helps Lv Bu if it doesn't help me, if it wasn't for this person, I would have taken Jiujiang already."

Looking at the artifact that made me so excited just now, I felt extremely lost.

How could such a talented person become Lu Bu's son-in-law? If he doesn't show up sooner or later, the more he thinks about it, the more angry Cao Cao sighs again, "I hate it for me!"

"Maybe it can't be owned by my father." The corner of Cao Ang's mouth was drawn with a hint of cunning.

"What do you mean by Zixiu, don't let it go, just say it!" Cao Cao put his shoulders on his shoulder again, the difference is that this time Cao Ang felt his father's strength through the armor.

"It is reported that this man wholeheartedly defected to his father, and it was Lu Bu who entered his residence by mistake, and Lin Mo mistakenly thought that Lu Bu was his father-in-law, so the two got acquainted.

Later, after Lin Mo learned of Lu Bu's identity, he also fled and wanted to come to Xuchang. Before he had time to run out of Xiaoguan, Lu Bu chased him from Jiujiang and stopped him. No one knew what they talked about at that time. Knowing that at that time, Lin Mo followed him back. "

Cao Ang frowned, with a pensive expression on his face, "My boy guessed that perhaps Lin Mo followed him back to Jiujiang because he was afraid of Lu Bu's force."

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true. This matter has spread throughout Xuzhou City."

Cao Cao, who was originally excited, only felt a piece of his heart was missing at this moment. What is this?

Damn it, if only he didn't have a red rabbit horse.

It's sad that after passing by Kuang Shixiong, he actually hated Chituma.

Only those who have lost it can understand that when regret takes over, you blame everything that is connected to it but seems to be irrelevant.

It's like the person who got drunk all night hated the person who first brewed it.

In the end, Cao Cao, who felt weak all over, simply sat down on the field ridge.

Xun You on the side was puzzled, "Young Master Cai just said that he mistook Lu Bu as his father-in-law, why do you say he is Lu Bu's son-in-law now?"

"I asked the spies to investigate the matter carefully. Lin Mo was originally married to the daughter of Zhang Wang in Wen County. He always thought that Lu Bu was Zhang Wang. At that time, he wanted to use Zhang Wang's power to surrender to us."

Cao Ang's words made everyone more puzzled. Probably, only Guo Jia was not interested in it. He shook the red gourd in his hand, and hearing the dull sound, he raised his head and drank in satisfaction.

It was Cheng Yu who couldn't bear it any longer, and interjected and asked, "It's been several months since the ambush in Peicheng and the fall of Shouchun. Didn't Zhang Wang show up all the time?"

Speaking of this, even Cao Ang showed a helpless expression and laughed dumbly, "Zhang Wang is the magistrate of Wen County, and he married the eldest daughter just to repay Father Lin's life-saving grace, but the eldest daughter died of illness last year.

According to the etiquette, he needs to betroth his second daughter to Lin Mo, but the second daughter is only eight years old, Zhang Wang dotes on him, and thinking that Lin's father is dead, he is ready to give up. "

It turned out that there were so many complicated stories mixed in, and everyone couldn't help feeling the fate of fate.

Under such circumstances, Lu Bu appeared, so how can it be explained if it is not fate.

"Immediately bring Zhang Wang to Xuchang to meet me!" At the originally silent scene, Cao Cao suddenly got up and hissed red-faced, which startled everyone.

"Here!" Xu Chu behind him responded and quickly ran away.
