The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 104 Teaching the Words of the Heavenly Book
The cloth bags brought by the guards were too small, and there were too many treasures buried with them, which couldn't fit in them at all.

Fortunately, Mount Mangdang is located in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou has long surrendered.

The guards were dispatched to call for carriages nearby, and Yuan Xu returned to Yecheng a few days later with treasures in dozens of carriages.

He has not returned to Yecheng yet, and the news has spread to Huainan.

Full of anticipation for King Liang's tomb, Cao Cao sat down slumpedly when he got the news, and didn't speak for a while.

"My lord." Xun Yu leaned closer: "Just throw away the tomb of King Liang, and find a bigger one."

"There are many burial objects for King Liang." Cao Cao replied helplessly, "How many tombs like his can we find?"

Xun Yu was speechless.

He also knew what the treasure in King Liang's tomb meant to Cao Cao.

"With these treasures and the support from the Zhen family, Yuan Xianxin's strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds." Cao Cao said, "Hebei, we don't need to think about it."

"What's the master's plan?" Xun Yu asked.

"Take a rest for two years, and then go to the south." Cao Cao replied: "Huainan is located between Jiangdong, Jingzhou and Hebei, and any one of them can bring us disaster."

Xun Yu nodded and said nothing more.

He has long noticed that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to Cao Cao.

After excavating King Liang's tomb and obtaining countless treasures, Yuan Xu returned to Yecheng proudly.

After entering the city, he went straight to the treasury and personally handed over the treasure obtained from the tomb.

On the day he went to Mangdang Mountain, Guo Jia also led the army back.

When Yuan Xu returned to Yecheng, he, Tian Feng and Pang Tongtong greeted him.

Standing in the treasury compound, Yuan Xu watched the officials count the treasures.

He asked Guo Jia: "Is the war in Bingzhou over?"

"Except for not capturing high-level officials, everything else is over." Guo Jia replied: "Bingzhou fell into the hands of our army, and all the old high-level officials were dismantled and incorporated into the army."

Yuan Xu didn't ask Gao Gan's whereabouts: "I never thought that I would get rich by digging graves. The tomb of King Liang really made me addicted to digging."

Guo Jia and the others laughed out loud.

Tian Feng said: "My son went to Mangdang Mountain this time to gain a lot. Cao Mengde's face must be very good-looking."

"Thanks to Zhen Yao for sending the news, otherwise the treasure would fall into Cao Cao's hands, it would be fine." Yuan Xu said: "Without enough money, he can't raise a decent army, and Huainan is weak, so he will be the target of public criticism."

"What I'm worried about is that Gao Gan went to the Xiongnu, if the Huns are willing to send troops..." Guo Jia said: "Although the young master can deal with it calmly, it is still a big trouble."

"Have you ever heard of "Poetry of Sadness and Anger" and "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia"?" Yuan Xu asked suddenly.

Guo Jia and the others glanced at each other.

Pang Tong replied: "It should be made after Cai Yong's daughter was captured by the Huns."

"Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, is extremely talented and a rare woman of the time." Yuan Xu said, "She was taken captive by the Huns, and it is my great man's loss."

"My lord is going to attack the Xiongnu? What did Guo Jia hear from his words.

"Courtesy first, soldiers later." Yuan Xu replied, "Send someone over there, and exchange two bolts of low-grade silk for Cai Yan to come back."

"It is said that she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Liu Bao, the wise king of the Huns." Guo Jia shook his head, "Two bolts of inferior silk may not be enough."

"I'm provoking trouble." Yuan Xu said: "Now that we have money, you can recruit soldiers and horses, and leave the drills to the generals. If the Huns refuse, I will go there myself, and it's all about enjoying the exotic scenery."

Guo Jia and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yuan Xu made it clear that he was looking for trouble.

They don't know how to respond.

The treasure was sent to the treasury, and Zhen Yan, who participated in the whole process of counting, came to Yuan Xu: "My lord, the counting is over."

"Do you have an estimate of how much it can be exchanged for?" Yuan Xu asked.

"It's hard to estimate." Zhen Yan replied: "I did a rough calculation, and there should be a surplus after ten years spent by an army of one million."

Not only Guo Jia and the others showed astonished expressions, but even Yuan Xu was surprised: "So many..."

Zhen Yan replied: "Young master has made a lot of money this time."

"How is the preparation of the farm?" Yuan Xu turned the topic to the farm.

"The 30-year income of the farm will not be as rich as this visit to the tomb of King Liang." Zhen Yan still cannot do without the comparison with the funeral objects of King Liang.

"I'm not asking about your expected income." Yuan Xu said, "I'm asking when it will be put into use."

"The infrastructure has been prepared." Zhen Yan replied: "It can be used at any time."

Yuan Xu nodded approvingly: "The progress is good, I still have some materials for you."

"Young master handed over the Jucai Ling, but those heavenly books?" Pang Tong interjected.

He had personally seen the "Book from Heaven" that Yuan Xu took out.

Zhen Yan looked confused: "Tianshu?"

Yuan Xu replied: "Without my teaching, you don't know the characters in the book, so it's just a heavenly book."

"Since you don't understand, what's the use of them?" Zhen Yan was puzzled.

"You guys can't understand, but I can." Yuan Xu said, "While I'm still in Yecheng, you go to the study every day to learn the characters of heavenly scriptures."

Pang Tong and others were overjoyed that he was willing to teach the scriptures of the heavenly scriptures himself, and he quickly thanked him.

Everyone respected Yuan Xu more.

They took it for granted that Yuan Xu could understand even the "Book of Heaven", so it must be God's favor.

In the days that followed, new crops were planted on the farm.

The farm also puts in its first ostriches and turkeys.

Every day Zhen Yan and others would go to the study to learn simplified characters from Yuan Xu.

Knowing the importance of step-by-step, Yuan Xu obtained primary school textbooks after 2000.

Guo Jia and others are talented and intelligent. Although there is a big difference between simplified characters and Xiaozhuan, they can still learn a lot of new characters every day.

Another day, Yuan Xu taught Guo Jia and others thirty or forty new characters.

Not long after everyone left the study, Deng Zhan arrived.

He entered the room and said: "A young general came from Jingzhou and said that he went here on purpose."

The little general from Jingzhou?
Yuan Xu froze for a moment, then thought of Wei Yan, whom Gan Ning recommended to him.

Several months have passed since Gan Ning recommended him.

Wei Yan didn't arrive late, Yuan Xu had long given up hope.

After a few months, a little general from Jingzhou actually joined the army. Besides Wei Yan, who else could it be?

"Please come in quickly." Guessing it was Wei Yan, how could Yuan Xu not be there?

After a while, Deng Zhan led a group of teenagers to the study.

The little general was born with broad arms and a round waist. Although he was not like a giant like Gao Lan, he gave the impression that he was shrewd and capable.

"Wei Yan has met the young master!" The little general bowed to salute.

"I've been waiting for Wenchang for a long time, but you're here." Yuan Xu motioned, "Sit down and we'll talk."

Wei Yan took his seat.

Yuan Xu asked: "It's been several months since Xingba sent the letter. Why didn't Chief Wen come to Hebei sooner?"

"It's not that I don't want to come." Wei Yan replied, "I really can't get away."

"What's going on?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Sun Quan inherits Jiangdong, and has constant conflicts with Jingzhou." Wei Yan replied: "I am often ordered to go out with the army, and I have no chance to leave."
