The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 272

Sure enough, there was water the next day, but Jiang Yiqu frowned even more, almost strangling the two of them to death. "Why is black water? What is this thing? It tastes a bit like tung oil."

Two senior tomb robbers accidentally dug an oil well.

For some unknown reason, there was a large-scale blowout that night, and dozens of hectares of land were flooded with black and smelly tung oil. The next day, it was exposed to the sun, and the skin was solidified and hard.Poke it open with the tip of a sword, and there is still sticky black oil underneath. 【Xinye, the location of Henan Oilfield】

Self-defeating.Originally wanted to make meritorious service, but now a catastrophe occurred, and the residents who lost their land felt that their way of life was cut off, so they sat in the fields and howled.

Jiang Yiqu felt that it might not be a good omen for evil, so he immediately sent a letter to report the incident.

Xu Shu also felt that it was evil, and he put forward his own opinion: "Could it be that the battles have been fought for years, the killings have been too heavy, and the heavens have warned. What I mean, the king should go to the eastern suburbs to sacrifice to the heavens and the earth. Then let your majesty issue an edict to amnesty the world."

Even the most knowledgeable people in the Three Kingdoms were poisoned by feudal superstition, which is nonsense.If in the previous life, I discovered an oil field, I would be on the Forbes richest man list, which is a good thing.

"Good omen, good omen, Yuanzhi, this tung oil is a magic weapon for war. It has too many benefits. This is not bad luck, but a good omen. If you don't believe me, let me tell you, with this tung oil, Soochow will It’s a dead end. Just wait and see. Tell Jiang Yiqu that he will be promoted to governor of Jingzhou, and he will be rewarded with 500 taels of gold. This is a great contribution. Give those two tomb robbers the title of Marquis.”

Xu Shuxin said, whether you have money and have nowhere to spend it, or have you lost your mind and gone crazy, you have submerged dozens of hectares of fertile land and made great contributions.Xu Shu said: "It seems that rewards and punishments are not clear. Although Jiang Yiqu is the favorite general of King Jin, he can't be so partial. He is guilty."

"Yuanzhi, Jiang Yiqu's achievements will be revealed in the future. Don't worry, I won't favor him. Tell him, let him lead the two grave robbers to dig a well in another place, and we must dig out water."

Xu Shu hesitated to speak, the meaning was written on his face, thinking that it was all nonsense.But my attitude was firm, and he stopped talking, and went down to Feige to pass on the book.

Jiang Yiqu has been waiting for punishment.

The two tomb robbers were even more frightened to death, trembling like cattle waiting to be slaughtered.Unexpectedly, when the order came down, instead of punishing, he would be rewarded.Jiang Yiqu himself was so stupid that he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in King Jin's gourd.Two days later, the order came down again, ordering him to send [-] troops to make wooden barrels, extract tung oil day and night, fill the wooden barrels and transport them to Jiangling.News must be strictly blocked.The carts transported are covered with thick straw.When someone asked, they said it was military rations.

Although he knew it and didn't know why, Jiang Yiqu strictly and timely implemented the orders of the Central Military Commission.Started mining tung oil.

With the help of two tomb robbers, Master Hou, more than 50 wells finally produced clear and icy spring water.Nearly [-]% of the dry land in Nanyang County has been irrigated, and autumn crops have been planted smoothly.Those who did not grow food were transported from Huainan to help them. Fortunately, the arid area was not very large.Can be solved.

Tung oil extraction is carried out from mid-May to the end of September.Seeing that the late autumn has passed, the leaves are falling one after another, and the green trunks become bare ghost claws piercing the sky.A thick layer of white stubble frost formed on the edge of the well, and the tung oil began to solidify, so the soldiers stopped and sealed the wellhead with huge wooden boards.According to Jiang Yiqu's statistics, the oil well produced [-] barrels of oil per day, and a total of [-] barrels were extracted in four months.The thick oil can almost cover the entire city of Xiangyang.What puzzled Jiang Yiqu the most was why there was no end to this tung oil, no matter how it was mined, it would always come out gurgling.

Jiang Yiqu transported so much tung oil to Jiangling, which aroused the vigilance of Sun Quan and Liu Bei.Both of them were thinking in their hearts, where did Yuan Bing get so much military rations? Could it be that he had transported all the food from the whole country and was planning to use troops against Soochow.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "This must be Yuan Xi's plan to intimidate Sun Quan, telling him to be more honest and surrender obediently." This time he guessed wrong.

I have also lived in Hanyang for a while, and Liu Bei is urging Zhuge Liang to send troops to Soochow these days.Asked with a hippie smile: "Military Master, if we don't do it again, we won't have a chance."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, I estimate that in a few days, the army of the Eastern Wu will withdraw. Two 10,000+ troops have been stationed by the river for a long time, and it is difficult to transport food, and the people are suffering. As the east arrives, the temperature drops sharply and the river wind is harsh. , The soldiers are suffering greatly, Yuan Jun has already retreated, Sun Quan will definitely withdraw a large number of soldiers and horses to the defense line, and take turns to garrison."

Liu Bei nodded again and again: "It's reasonable, it's reasonable. It coincides with me." Zhuge Liang curled his lips secretly, doesn't it coincide with you?

Liu Bei said: "As long as Jiangxia's soldiers and horses withdraw, our army will take advantage of the momentum to occupy Xiakou and Fankou, and then send troops to Dongwu, and we will surely win the six counties in Jiangdong." Zhuge Liang said: "Sun Quan is stupid, and he fell into Yuan Xi's strategy of combining forces. It is expected that Yuan Bing will go south in a few days. If the lord does not take Soochow, sooner or later Yuan Xi will take it too."

Liu Bei said angrily, "Yuan Xi is just not satisfied. I heard that he has pacified Liaodong recently. If I had such a large territory, I would have settled down a long time ago. Who is as greedy as he is?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Why hasn't Soochow moved—"

"Report, my lord, military division, suddenly hundreds of large ships raised their sails on the river, and the army of Soochow General Lu Mengshuai in Jiangxia withdrew back to Jingkou."

Zhuge Liang beamed with joy: "Explore again."

The spies went away for a while and then came back: "It is true that Lu Meng withdrew, leaving only Han Dang and Zhou Tai to guard Jingling, and Chen Wu and Pan Zhang to guard Jiangxia. The total force is between [-]." With a wave of his sleeve, the spy backed out.

Liu Bei immediately came up and said: "What about the military commander, should we do it?" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Not yet, I'm waiting." Liu Bei said anxiously: "Still waiting, how long will you wait." People. Go prepare a hundred altars of fine wine." Liu Bei thought to himself that he was still in the mood to drink at this time, so it was important to grab the territory.Then asked: "Military division, how long will I have to wait?"

Zhuge Liang said: "It's time for my lord to finish drinking the hundred altars of fine wine." Liu Bei said: "Don't worry, military advisor. With my drinking capacity, one hundred altars can last half a year."

Zhuge Liang said: "It's too slow. You must finish drinking before the Lantern Festival. Remember, you have to get drunk every day. If you don't get drunk, it doesn't count?" Liu Bei was unwilling: "Why don't you drink?" Zhuge Liang pointed to his head and said : "I want to stay awake and plan for my lord." After saying that, she turned and walked out of the door.

"Oh." Liu Bei nodded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "You use your brain, why don't I use it?" He muttered softly.

Liu Bei's biggest advantage is obedience.I am 100% convinced of Zhuge Liang, without the slightest doubt.Let drink drink.There is at least one altar every day, and every day in Liu's residence is full of singing and dancing.Intoxicated with money and greedy for pleasure.Gradually, Liu Bei also realized Zhuge Liang's good intentions.This is to confuse the enemy and make the enemy relax their vigilance.After figuring this out, Liu Bei drank even more vigorously.I drink it every morning when I wake up, and I drink it until the sun sets and Caixiafei just stops.Sometimes, all the civil and military people are gathered for a night banquet or something! !
The Lantern Festival is approaching, and one hundred altars have already been surpassed. After counting the full three hundred altars, Liu Bei has nerve paralysis, elevated blood lipids, and almost has a stroke.Zhuge Liang came to ask for soldiers, and saw that the lord was unconscious and talking inconsequentially.Let him abstain from drinking for three days, and then come back three days later. It seems that his spirit is much better.But both sides of the face were still red, as if they had been boiled.

"My lord, it's time to send troops. Wu's soldiers are celebrating the festive season. Our army will sneak attack and capture Jiangxia without any effort."

Zhuge Liang talked for a long time before Liu Bei realized that the long-term alcohol anesthesia made him a little dull.Zhuge Liang saw that it was really a crime, and he knew that he would not have this idea.There is no such thing as regret medicine in the world.Zhuge Liang could only repeat it patiently.Liu Bei patted the table; "Okay, it's worth celebrating, come and serve wine—"

"No, no, my lord, you can't drink any more. If you drink any more, you will miss a major event. Liang has already assembled troops outside the city, and when it gets dark, he will send troops to attack Wu immediately." Zhuge Liang leaned into Liu Bei's ear and said, "Please, my lord. Order."

Liu Bei beat his head hard, stood up and said, "I will lead the army myself, and the military master will be the rear." Zhuge Liang shook his head, "No, no, no, no. If I am the rear, this battle will definitely be defeated. I should take the lead, and the lord will be the rear."

Liu Bei was not angry at all that Zhuge Liang looked down on him, he was already far inferior to Zhuge Liang. "Okay, then I'll come to the rear of the palace and let Guan Yu and you be in front." Zhuge Liang didn't dare to use Guan Erye, and quickly waved his hands: "How can you use a bull's knife to kill a chicken? In the end, I can come out normally”

Liu Bei knew Zhuge Liang's thoughts, and he really couldn't do anything with this second brother of the living treasure.

Chen Wu and Pan Zhang were in Jiangxia. They heard that Liu Bei was drunk and dreaming every day in Hanyang, and his vigilance was greatly relaxed.He thought that Liu Bei had only a false name, but he was just a waste of pleasure.Sun Quan warned the two to be careful, but the two did not take it seriously.During the Lantern Festival, soldiers are homesick.The two realized that it was not easy to "come out to hang out", so they allowed the soldiers to drink and revel, and withdrew the soldiers from several lookout points around Jiangxia, and also found a lot of opera troupes and singers in the city to sing and listen to the opera. It's fun.He didn't know that a sharp sword was hanging above his head, and he was about to strike it down.

Liu Bei's water army went down the river and went straight to Xiakou City downstream.At that time, Zhou Yu's fleet was at Sanjiangkou with a force of [-] troops, more than [-] miles away from Xiakou.

Zhuge Liang commanded the original part of the Jingzhou navy. Taking advantage of the strong northwest wind on the big river in winter, he pulled up the sails, and the boat flew like an arrow. It didn't take two hours to cross the river.At this time, Xiakou was almost an empty city without guards, and there was not even a sentry guard on the riverside.Liu Bei's [-] sailors reached the city without bloodshed. The horse and infantry lined up neatly, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras and drunken singing could be heard from a distance in the city.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed: "The group of thieves are overjoyed, Huang Hansheng, Huo Ge, Huo Jun, don't hesitate, command troops to attack the city immediately."The lights on the top of the city are brightly lit, and behind each arrow stack there is a half-burnt torch, and the two miles below the city are as bright as day.However, there were only dozens of soldiers behind the arrow pile, and they were still gathering around to play finger-guessing, drinking orders, and throwing dice.The soldiers were overwhelmed, and they didn't realize it.

Huang Zhong yelled: "Siege the city, take the ladder." The [-] Liu Bei army, who had already suffocated their strength, divided into ten teams, shouted in unison, set up the ladder and rushed towards the tower.It wasn't until this moment that the soldiers on the top of the city found out the enemy's presence, poked their necks out and looked down, and the wine bowl and chicken legs in their hands fell to the ground together. "It's not good, the enemy army is coming to attack the city." A soldier touched the horn in a panic, and just blew it twice before being cut in half by Huo Ge who jumped onto the top of the city first.

The two horns did not arouse the soldiers in the city at all.Eighty percent of the soldiers were drunk unconscious.Huo Ge commanded calmly, told the soldiers rushing up the tower and the follow-up troops to keep quiet, divided into three teams with Huang Zhong and Huo Jun, and killed them silently towards the barracks in the city.

Chen Wu and Pan Zhang hugged the singing girl until their tongues grew loud from drinking, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent, horses neighing and people shouting, it was very chaotic.I thought, these guys are making too much noise.Chen Wu pushed away the woman who was lazily in his arms, and rushed out, trying to restrain the arrangement.After looking at it, cold sweat flowed out, and the wine suddenly woke up halfway.In the big camp, horses ran rampant, swords and guns were used simultaneously, countless Soochow soldiers were killed and injured, and corpses were everywhere.It has become a flock of sheep slaughtered by wolves.As far as he could see, a general in golden armor was approaching the tent of the Chinese army. He rubbed his eyes, it was definitely not a dream.With a scream, he ran back to the camp: "Pan Zhang, it's not good, our army has been attacked by surprise, and the soldiers outside are almost dead."

Pan Zhang was kissing the beauty, his eyes widened suddenly, he jumped up on the ground, knife in hand, and ran out with Chen Wu.

It's over, it's too late.Those soldiers in Soochow who were rickety and wrestled when they walked, who had no ability to resist, were dead or injured.

Pan Zhang saw the shadows of the three horses rushing towards him, wondering why the three horses looked exactly the same?After drinking the wine, Pan Zhang was not afraid, so he raised his knife and slashed at the man in the middle.Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and thought, what kind of saber technique is this? Why did it cut to a distance of ten feet? Could it be the legendary saber qi? ! !
He didn't care about these, when he saw the enemy's opening, he raised his sword and lowered it, and the head was taken off.The hot blood spurting from the neck was full of alcohol.

Chen Wu drank a bit more than Pan Zhang. When he rushed out of the camp, his first thought was to run away, but where would it be a problem?Enemy troops are everywhere.The Soochow soldiers were almost wiped out, and there were not even a single soldier in the end.He snatched a horse and beheaded two enemy soldiers, the smell of alcohol welled up, his eyes went dark for a while, at this moment, he heard someone shouting in front of him: "Mr. Chen Wu, where are you going? Look at the knife."

Chen Wu looked up and saw Huo Jun.Suddenly, I felt a chill in my neck and my head fell to the ground.When I was dying, I was still thinking, mother, it turned out to be Liu Bei's men.
