Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 137, Lu Bu called the elephant, failed to recruit disciples
Dian Wei said in a simple and honest tone: "What's so difficult about it? You can know if you can build a scale with a pole top to weigh it."

Everyone just smiled lightly and ignored Dian Wei.

Seeing that the crowd was silent, Dian Wei said again, "Or take this elephant out and chop it up, or cut it into pieces and weigh it."

Sun Quan laughed and said, "The tiger is really smart, but this elephant is not easy to come by. My father is still ready to study it. If he can build an iron elephant cavalry, who is the opponent on the land? How can he pull it away?" Go out and chop."

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, "It's really not easy to weigh such a huge guy, you can dig two deep pits.

A beam is erected between the two deep pits, the elephant is bound and put into the deep pit, and then stones are placed in another deep pit.

When the beam is level, the weight of the stone is the weight of the elephant, and we can weigh the weight of the stone alone to get the weight of the elephant.”

"Ok!"

Everyone nodded slightly, this should be the simplest and most practical method.

Sun Quan said, "I thought the same way before, but it would be a waste of manpower and time to go back and forth like this. I thought Brother Zhou could come up with a better way."

Zhou Yu remained silent, looking down for a better way to show off his amazing talent.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth. Isn't this the most famous Cao Chong appellation in history? Why did it appear on Sun Quan and Zhou Yu?

Clearing his throat, he said loudly, "Why is this so difficult?"

The faces of the people were slightly startled, and their eyes only shone brightly, looking at Lu Bu.

"Zhongmou prepares a big boat and drives the elephant onto the big boat."

According to Lu Bu's instructions, the group came to the river and drove the elephant to the big boat.

When the ship stabilized, Lu Bu jumped forward, and the Zhenyue sword in his hand was drawn out of the sheath on the side of the ship where it was level with the water, carving a conspicuous sword mark.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu looked slightly startled, and then looked at each other, as if they had already thought of Lu Bu's solution.

"Okay, bring the elephant to the shore, and load the big and small stones onto the boat one by one.

When the hull sinks until the sword mark engraved just now is level with the water surface, you can stop loading stones, and I don’t need to continue to talk about what to do next.”

Dian Wei scratched the back of his head, "How can we know the weight of an elephant?"

Huang Zhong shook his head lightly, and sighed, "The tiger is really missing a muscle. The hull of the boat is level with the water twice, which means that the weight of the stone is the weight of the elephant at this time. Just weigh the stone. Nature is the weight of an elephant."

Zhou Yu was not as arrogant as before, and immediately bowed to Lu Bu, "The general is really clever, although it is the same replacement method as my previous method.

However, your method is undoubtedly the simplest and saves manpower and material resources, and Gong Jin admires it."

Sun Quan also bowed slightly to Lv Bu, admiring him even more.

Sun Ce said happily, "I thought that General Lu Bu only knew how to charge and attack the enemy, but I didn't expect his brain to be so good. No wonder he couldn't be the governor of Bingzhou."

Zhou Yi said, "General Lu Bu is indeed a genius in the world, and Zhou Yi admires it. It's getting late now, why don't I take my dog ​​back first, and how about visiting another day."

Hearing that Zhou Yi was going to take Zhou Yu away, Lu Bu's heart trembled slightly, as if the meat that had reached his mouth was being taken away by a crow again.

"Young Master's bones are excellent, young and intelligent, with a little polishing, he will surely become a rough jade. If you don't want to be talented, how about accepting him as a disciple?"

Zhou Yu's complexion moved slightly and he didn't speak.

Zhou Yi's skinny body stood up slightly, with a hint of arrogance on his face, "I'm afraid this will not be as the general wishes.

Although my Zhou family is in decline, it is still a big family in Lujiang, and there are many famous people in the family.

Great-grandfather: Zhou Rong, was an official to Shangshuling during Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Hanhe; grandfather: Zhou Xing, was an official to Shangshulang during Emperor Hanhe;

My father has always liked Gong Jin, and he personally teaches the Four Books and Five Classics every day, Wen Tao and Wu Lue. I hope that Gong Jin can revive the Zhou family's former glory one day, so please forgive me for not being able to worship the general as a teacher."

Lu Bu had a hint of disappointment on his face, but Zhou Yi had already made it so clear, and he was right in front of the door, if he took Zhou Yu away forcibly, it would definitely provoke public outrage.

After Zhou Yi took Zhou Yu away, Lu Bu went back to the house and drank sullenly, planning to leave Jiangdong for Kuaiji early tomorrow morning.

After returning Tang Ji to Tang Mao, he hurried back to Wuyuan County with his brothers.

The battle of Bingzhou was urgent. At this time, Dong Zhuo hadn't gained a firm foothold, and his vitality from being seriously injured by the allied army had not recovered. If the Xiliang army recovered, it would not be so easy to attack Bingzhou.

At this time, Sun Ce broke into the door in a hurry, with a look of joy on his face, and said excitedly, "General Lu Bu, I have two good news for you."

"Oh, what good news makes Bofu so excited," Lu Bu said calmly.

Sun Ce strode over, picked up the ceramic bowl on Lu Bu's table, took a sip of wine, and continued, "Just now Yuan Shu sent someone to send a letter, saying that as long as we are willing to hand over the jade seal, he will agree to our offer If the conditions are met, troops will be sent to attack Jiangxia County and Nan County in a short time, and the two counties will be handed over to us in Jiangdong."

Lu Bu's heart trembled slightly, "It's so good. This will undoubtedly greatly strengthen Jiangdong's power. It is indeed good news. Then there is another good news."

Sun Ce continued, "My father has woken up and said he wants to see you."

"Okay, then let's go and visit Brother Sun Jian," Lu Bu said.

The two walked towards Sun Jian's room one after the other.

At this time, countless people had surrounded the door, and Sun Ce led Lu Bu into the room.

Supported by his servant, Sun Jian sat up slowly, his face was pale and listless, he bowed slightly to Lu Bu, and said in a weak tone, "Thank you, brother Fengxian, for saving your life."

Lu Bu took a step forward, and said in a concerned tone, "Brother Wentai, you are being polite. You have just woken up after the operation and your body is weak. You should rest well."

"Quan'er has already told me about Yuxi, it is indeed a hot potato, I Jiangdong can't swallow it, so it might be a good thing to throw it out.

No matter how precious this jade seal is, it is only a stone after all, if we can exchange the jade seal for the land of the two counties, it will greatly enhance the strength of our Jiangdong."

The two chatted for a while, and then stayed for two more days.

Lu Bu then led his people to Kuaiji County.

Sun Jian personally came to see him off with illness. If the age difference between the two was too large, Sun Jian even wanted to become brothers of the opposite sex with Lu Bu, and depended on each other for life and death.

A group of people ran eastward towards Kuaiji County.

Kuaiji County is close to the land of Shanyue, and it is often plundered by the Shanyue army. The people are in dire straits, and large-scale wars often occur.

Coupled with the locust plague this year, the people's harvests were extremely poor, and it seemed that they felt a sense of bleakness.

A few tall horses and two carriages walked on the poor and backward avenue, which still attracted the attention of many people.
