Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 194

Qu A said: "Liu Xun is very old and has a certain prestige in the army. He once followed Yuan Shao and later joined Yuan Shu. It is said that he has a good personal relationship with Cao Cao. Yuan Huan is not good at leading troops in battle, but I heard that he is good at hydrology. He is very knowledgeable in geography, and it is said that he contradicted Yuan Shu several times because he dissuaded Yuan Shu from paying attention to recuperation. Liu Ye is said to be a member of the Han family, and it is said that he once urged Liu Xun to stick to Lujiang, and he is also a man of wisdom."

Qu A probed very carefully, Zhou Cang and Zhou Wen looked at each other, and had a bad idea tacitly.Zhou Cang nodded and said to Qu'a: "I have recorded your merits, and we will reward you according to your merits after returning to Guangling. Liu Xun is temporarily imprisoned, and I will be useful at that time. You first bring Yuan Huan to see me."

"Yuan Huan, are you willing to surrender now that you are captured?" Zhou Cang asked.

Yuan Huan said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am the fourth and third son of the Yuan family, and I am also a child of the Yuan family. It is impossible for me to surrender."

"You keep saying that you are the fourth generation and the third lord, so why do you want to become a minister under Yuan Shu and help the tyrant to do evil?"

"This?" Yuan Huan lowered his head, "I have persuaded him many times, and I only hope that he will do less wrong things by staying by his side."

"If I let you go, what are your plans?"

"Yuan Huan is tired of official career. If you let me go, I plan to go back to my hometown and live in seclusion. If possible, I will do something for the villagers and never care about world affairs."

Zhou Cang gave a thumbs up, "True temperament! Then I will let you go. But I can't let you go back to your hometown, not because I don't trust you, but because I have your heart to benefit the people, so I will give you a better place to go. I set up a school in Guangling, among which there is water conservancy, but there has never been a professor, would you like to teach, sir, to teach the methods of building water conservancy, diverting rivers and canals, and irrigated farmland for the benefit of the people?"

Yuan Huan looked at Zhou Cang in surprise for a long time, "Okay, then I'll go to Guangling. However, I still want to go with a friend whose surname is Hua and whose name is Tuo..."

"Of course. What? You're talking about Hua Tuo? Hua Tuo, a genius doctor?" Zhou Cang looked incredulous.

"Exactly, the general also knows this person?"

I know it, I know it too well, Zhou Cang's big black face can be seen to be full of red light: "The school also has a medical department, only some wandering doctors make up for it. It would be great if Mr. Hua Tuo could go." Zhou Cang If he could just let Hua Tuo teach and lead his apprentices, he would try his best to dig out Hua Tuo's use value and drain Hua Tuo's blood and sweat.

"Mr. Hua is just passing through the Lujiang River. It is not known whether he is willing to give lectures."

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Cang said, but in order to ensure that Hua Tuo was invited, he called Pei Yuanshao to invite Hua Tuo together with Yuan Huan, and told Pei Yuanshao to work hard and demonstrate the ninth set of radio gymnastics.It's a pity that Zhou Cang doesn't know Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, etc. Otherwise, he can exchange Wu Qinxi with Hua Tuo.Zhou Cang is also planning to have an in-depth discussion with Hua Tuo on traditional Chinese medicine, which is a great achievement that will benefit the future.

It's really profitable. If you have these two talents, you won't come to Lujiang unjustly. If you have land, soldiers, food and people, you are really profitable.In the school, literature is more important than theory, and Zhou Cang has not intervened, but it does not mean that he does not care. Now that there are two heavyweights, the situation must be greatly changed.

After sending Yuan Huan away, Zhou Cang turned to ask Liu Ye very politely, "Mr. is frightened. Zhou Cang is polite. I wonder if Mr. is willing to seek refuge in Guangling?"

Liu Ye said: "I live in Lujiang to avoid war and chaos, and I don't want to meet the general. I really don't want to be an official, so I invite the general Haihan."

"It's okay, it's okay. I wonder if Mr. Ziyang is willing to be Zhou Cang's guest?"

"The general loves him too much, and Liu Ye is ashamed." Liu Ye replied with a salute, and it would be hard not to refuse to just be a guest.

Zhou Cang and Zhou Wen sent Liu Ye away, and they looked at each other and smiled again.For no reason, Liu Ye felt a chill on his back. He stretched out his hand to try, but there was no wind?Look up at the sky, is it going to rain?

Zhou Cang issued an appeal to the counties under the jurisdiction of Lujiang, and within a month, all the counties in the north of the Yangtze River surrendered.During this period, something unbelievable happened to Zhou Cang: Jiao Zhongqing, a petty official in Lujiang, hanged himself at home. After some investigation, Zhou Wen determined that he committed suicide. Jiao Zhongqing committed suicide for this.

My God, I can catch up with this too, the man is Jiao Zhongqing, and the woman must be Liu Lanzhi.Zhou Cang wrote "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast" silently in one night. It is estimated that there must be many mistakes in it, but no one knows anyway.He also ordered them to be buried together, build a pavilion, and engrave couplets on the two pillars, "May I be a lovebird in the sky, and a Lianli branch in the earth."

Zhou Cang's literary fame became popular again, and the story of "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast" was widely circulated among the people, and it touched the hearts of countless girls in the boudoir.They secretly came to see Zhou Cang, so that Zhou Cang no longer walked with Qu'a, and they gradually calmed down.

Zhou Cang wanted to highlight the freedom of marriage, but was strongly opposed by Zhang Jiong and Zhou Wen. The protagonist can be free, but others cannot.Zhou Cang had to change to a more soothing measure: no forced marriage.

Handing over the finishing work to Zhou Wen, Zhou Cang stood at the top of the city looking into the distance, feeling a lot of emotion, thinking that the battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu should be coming to an end, and he could return to Guangling in a few days.

"Look, my lord, there is a group of troops coming from outside the city." Seeing this, Qu Ah said, pointing to the west.

"Report, report to the lord, someone from outside the city calls himself Zhou Chong, please see the lord." A gatekeeper came to report.

"Okay, okay," Zhou Cang Liansheng applauded, "It seems that our number one hero is back. If you are evil, you go and call Yuanfang."

"My lord." When Zhang Jiong saw Zhou Cang, the people who were about to run five were crying and knelt down on the ground.

Zhou Cang looked at Zhang Jiong, whose temples were already a little gray, and remembered the scene when the two met for the first time in Youzhou. It was 18 years in a flash, er, it was really 18 years in the enemy camp.Zhou Cang supported Zhang Jiong with both hands, "We can go to this day, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the land of the two counties are all thanks to you. Others say that fighting on the battlefield is a real hero, but I know that you have suffered a lot. How much wronged, how much frightened, how much responsibility!"

Zhang Jiong's tears couldn't stop streaming down his face, Zhou Chong and Zhou Xi suddenly felt that their experiences in Luoyang and Chang'an were nothing compared to Zhang Jiong's.Zhou Wen also sighed: "When Gao Zu talked about the achievements of important ministers, Zhang Liang, or Han Xin, but Gao Zu praised Xiao He, and Zhang Jiong's achievements are comparable to Xiao He."

What a great honor, just as Zhang Jiong was about to be humble, he suddenly woke up: Is Zhou Wen trying to compare Zhou Cang to Liu Bang?On the surface, he is boasting about himself, but in fact he is boasting about Zhou Cang. This Zhou Wen is not simple!
He quickly changed the subject, took the package from his back and held it to Zhou Cang with both hands: "Your Majesty, I have brought the things back."

Zhou Cang took it, didn't open it, and patted it gently with his hand. "How many people have died for this, but they don't know that even if they have it, if they don't cultivate their morality, care for the people, and steal their positions, they are not worthy of virtue. We will return to Guangling in a few days."

"What is the master's plan when he returns to Guangling?" Zhou Wen asked.
