Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 36 Xia Houlan persuades Zhao Yunnan to go down (more updates at the end of the month, by the way, please read and vote)
The new plow plowed the land more than twice as fast as the straight wooden plow!
The people watching around were all stunned by the scene before them.

They began to discuss,

"This plow is truly amazing!"

"Look at it, it seems like it's effortless, and the plowing is done quickly and well!"

"Look at Ergou, he actually ran to Tiezhu's field to help him plow the land!"

"Ergou is such a mean guy..."

"Captain, could you lend us this new plow?"

"Yes, yes, yes! With it, I can finally make a living from my dozen acres of wasteland!"

"Of course!" Cao Yan looked at everyone's eager eyes and replied with a smile:
"We'll not only lend you new plows, we'll also be lending you oxen. But everyone needs to remember to register and queue up in advance, because there are more wolves than meat!"

"Hahaha!"

Cao Yan's joke instantly livened up the atmosphere.

At this time, Ergou had helped Tiezhu finish plowing the land.

He pulled the curved plow and slowly walked back to Cao Yan.
With eyes full of admiration, he said:
"Captain, this new plow works so well and takes so little effort!"

Tiezhu also rushed back panting.

He threw the wooden plow aside, sat down, and said to Cao Yan:

"Captain, this new plow is a real gem! I never want to use the old one again."

The old man felt a little embarrassed and thought to himself that he had lost face this time.

But Cao Yan didn't mention the competition at all. Instead, he asked, "Father-in-law, I need someone to help me promote the new plow. How about you be the leader?"

"Really?!" The old man was a little flattered.

"Can this lieutenant still deceive you?"

"Thank you, Captain, for your appreciation!" The old man bowed, imitating the manner of a scholar, thinking to himself, "Now I am also a government official, bringing honor to my family!"

"This plow is called a curved plow. I will have the craftsmen work day and night to make it. If you need it, just go to the government and apply for it."

Cao Yan immediately announced, "The most important point is—we don't charge any fees for borrowing the curved plow and oxen!"

"Wow!!!"

"Lord Cao is wise!"

"As expected of a captain!"

"I want to sign up!"

"Count me in!!!"

"..."

The curved plow was successfully tested.
Cao Yan began to recruit a large number of craftsmen and expand the scale of the workshop.

Mass production of curved plows began.

To speed up the process,

He divided the craftsmen into more than a dozen teams.

Each group in the front is responsible for making a single part.

The team behind is responsible for assembling the parts.
In this way, the earliest assembly line system came into being.

……

Let's say,

Zhao Yun protected Gongsun Zan and returned to the camp north of Jie Bridge.

But once we got back to the camp,

Gongsun Zan seemed to have completely forgotten about Zhao Yun.

Even the promise to promote him to be a "personal guard" was thrown out of his mind.

Although Zhao Yun didn't care, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel disappointed.

He returned to the base where his original troops were stationed.

At this time, he

Suddenly I remembered what my good friend Xia Houlan said before we parted:
"Yuan Benchu ​​treated the poor harshly, and Gongsun Bogui looked down on the common people. These two were both wolves and bloodthirsty creatures. How could they possibly bring benevolent governance to the world?"

At this moment, Zhao Yun missed Xiahou Lan even more.

At this moment, someone suddenly called out,
"Zilong! Someone is looking for you outside the camp!"

Zhao Yun was a great warrior and a man of integrity.
Therefore, all the members of his former team treated him with great respect.

"Someone is looking for me?" Zhao Yun was very confused.

He has no acquaintances here, so who would come to see him?

"It's a kid about your age, his name is Xiahou Lan!" the man said again. "Qingyuan?!" Zhao Yun stood up suddenly and hurried out.

When he walked outside the camp, Zhao Yun saw Xiahou Lan standing not far away.

Suddenly my heart was filled with excitement and surprise.

Looking at Xiahou Lan's clothes and face, they were covered with dust, and it was obvious that he had been traveling all the way.

Zhao Yun quickly stepped forward, grasped Xiahou Lan's arms tightly, and asked:

"Qingyuan, didn't you go south to join Cao Cao? Why are you here?"

"Zilong, how are you?"

Xiahou Lan looked at Zhao Yun and explained with a smile:
"I came here this time because Captain Cao Yan asked me to do so."

As he spoke, he took out a military token from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Yun:

"General Cao values ​​you very highly, and has sent me with this cavalry token to find you, inviting you to join him on his journey south!"

Zhao Yun took the military token and looked at the small object in his hand, his heart filled with waves.

He remembered that after he escorted Gongsun Zan back to the camp, Gongsun Zan had forgotten about him and even failed to fulfill his promised status as his "personal guard".

But now, Cao Yan, a person he has never met, values ​​him so much.

"Qingyuan, although Gongsun Zan did some things wrong, he was very kind to me. It would be unreasonable for me to leave just like that." Zhao Yun hesitated.

"A thank you for your help?" Xiahou Lan glanced disdainfully at the tent of the horned Gadari and asked, "Let me ask you, what is your current position?"

"Uh...horse archer." Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed.

"Then do you know what this military token represents?"

"I don't know."

Xiahou Lan held up three fingers and said, "Three thousand cavalry! Captain Cao gave it to you without hesitation!"

Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this.

Xiahou Lan continued, "How many generals under Lord Cao want these three thousand cavalrymen!

Even when the eldest son Cao Ang wanted it, Captain Cao refused to give it to him.

But he is willing to give you these three thousand horses!

Such importance is rare in the world, isn't it?!"

Zhao Yun lowered his head in thought.

Xia Houlan continued, "Zilong, do you still remember what I said when we parted?

In order to expand their military equipment, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao

Constantly oppressing and plundering the people,
The people are living in misery.

And I went to Cao Gong's rule and saw it with my own eyes,
The people live and work in peace and contentment, with fields and food.
There was even some money left to buy cloth and meat!
Cao Gong pays attention to the people's livelihood and practices benevolent governance; this is the sign of a wise ruler!"

Zhao Yun raised his head, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes: "Qingyuan, I..."

Seeing that Zhao Yun was still hesitant, Xiahou Lan wanted to slap him on the back of the head.

"What me?
You have always been resolute and resolute, so why are you so fussy and whining now?

Cao Gong now has only one county. If we go to him, it will be like providing timely assistance.

If we wait until he becomes stronger before going, then we will have ulterior motives!
Opportunities are fleeting! Zilong!!!"

Zhao Yun was finally persuaded.

He also remembered the neglect he had suffered under Gongsun Zan's command these days.

So he made up his mind and said, "Wait till I pack my bags, and then I'll go south with you!"

"Go quickly! Go quickly!" Xiahou Lan was overjoyed.

……

Gongsun Zan returned to the camp.
Before I could have a good sleep,

Qu Yi then led his army to pursue them.

At this time, Gongsun Zan remembered Zhao Yun again and hurriedly sent someone to find Zhao Yun.

But Gongsun Zan's men searched for a long time but could not find any trace of Zhao Yun.

Gongsun Zan had no capable generals under his command.
They could only try to rely on the camp for defense, but were defeated again.

Yuan Shao's army broke through the Yamen defensive fortifications of the camp.
The remaining troops of Gongsun Zan were completely defeated and unable to resist, and were eventually defeated and retreated north.

After the Battle of Jie Bridge,
Gongsun Zan quickly retreated north to Juma River.
Reorganize the army based on the river terrain.

After Yuan Shao defeated the arrogant Gongsun Zan,

His reputation skyrocketed.
He became the most handsome guy among all the princes in Kanto!
