Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Take a look at those aristocratic families in Yanzhou, which one will not be subdued by Lu Yan's policies?

"Uncle, don't worry, it won't be too late to meet Lu Huqi's envoy first." Still Zhuge Liang held his breath.

Zhuge Xuan's face returned to normal, he nodded and said to the servant: "Bring him in... No! Let's go meet him together."

After Zhuge Xuan finished speaking, he took the lead to walk out of the lobby.Now that the entire territory of Xuzhou has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, he has to lower his figure under the fence.

Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and others followed closely behind, and followed Zhuge Xuan to the gate.

I saw a young woman dressed as a warrior standing outside the gate with her head held high.

Behind the woman stood two followers dressed as peasants, but judging from their standing posture and the occasional exposure of nakedness, they were by no means as simple as ordinary warriors or peasants.

Seeing all the Zhugexuan's family rushing out, the woman was a little surprised at first, but then she admired more, "The Zhuge Xuan's family are people who know the current affairs. In troubled times, only families that can bend and stretch can survive for a long time. .”

Zhuge Xuan didn't feel slighted because the other party was a woman, he bowed his hands and said: "I'm Zhuge Xuan, I've met the envoy."

Zhao Xue clasped her fists back and saluted, and said: "We are under the command of Hussar General Lu Yan, the third team of Yingzi Dingying. I am the captain, my surname is Zhao Mingxue, and these two are my team members, Ding San and Ding Si. "

Zhao Xue, from Zhaojia Village, Zhending, Changshan.

Over the years, many people from Zhaojia Village have come to Chenliu to join Lu Yan and Zhao Yun one after another, but Lu Yan accepts everything without saying a word.

The point is that there are many talents in Zhaojia Village, and all these talents over the years are worthy of use.Moreover, this Zhao Xue was taught by Zhao Yun back then, and her martial arts skills are even close to that of first-class fighters.

"Captain!"

"Heroic and valiant! Who says women are inferior to men!"

Zhuge Mengxue and Zhuge Ruoxue saw the heroic Zhao Xue, and after hearing her self-introduction, their eyes lit up immediately, and their hearts were full of admiration and yearning.

"Yingzi Ying?" Zhuge Liang had heard of the fearsome Beiwei army, the elegant white horse Yi Cong, and the domineering tiger and leopard cavalry...

But what happened to this shadow camp?Not only have I never heard of it, it sounds like it is not a regular army.

Zhao Xue saw a young man with star-like eyes looking at her curiously, but she didn't pay much attention to it, but directly explained her reason for coming, "I came here this time to give you a word for my husband."

When Zhuge Xuan heard that he had come here specially to bring words for Lu Yan, he immediately tensed up, and then respectfully cupped his hands again and said: "Please speak, my envoy!"

"Lu Mou hopes that the Zhuge clan can send outstanding children to take the imperial examination."

"?" Zhuge Xuan was a little stunned, "What does this mean?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly asked at this moment: "Dare to ask the envoy, did Lu Hussar also say this to other gentry?"

Zhao Xue replied with certainty: "No, sir only asked us to speak for the Chen family and you Zhuge Jin."

Zhuge Xuan couldn't help feeling deeply puzzled when he heard the words, and secretly said in his heart,

"The Chen family received special care because of Chen Deng's great service in defending Pengcheng, and later the whole family joined Cao Cao. My Zhuge family didn't do anything, so why was it taken care of by Lu Yan alone?"

Seeing Zhuge Xuan's doubts, Zhao Xue said: "If you want to know why, you can go to Chenliu and see Mr., and you will understand?"

"Go...to see Lu Yan?" Zhuge Xuan's face changed slightly.

Seeing that Zhuge Xuan showed a slightly timid expression, Zhao Xue immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. is a very peaceful and easy-going person."

Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing, and blurted out: "It's easy to get along with? So Lu Hus rode three times against Zhang Xun outside Yangzhai City; outside Luoyang City, one enemy and a thousand cavalry; under Pengcheng, defeated Yuan Shu's four-way army?"

"..."

Chapter 154 Lao Liu, Lao Cao invites you to Xuchang for tea

Besides, after Liu Bei and Sun Ce conquered Runan, they failed to find Yuan Shu, and the cooked duck flew away...

Seeing that Cao Cao "let" them to pick up the credit but didn't get it, Sun Ce and Liu Bei really didn't have the face to ask the emperor for credit.

After venting their anger at the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command, the two sides had to lead their troops back to their hometowns.

Fortunately for Sun Ce, he still has a fairly stable foundation in Jiangdong. Although he did not achieve the final goal, at least he gained a lot of fame in the process of crusade against Yuan Shu.

But when Liu Bei returned to Guangling County with regret, a horse-riding soldier came galloping and brought Liu Bei a huge bad news!

The messenger rode his horse and came to Liu Bei, weeping, and reported: "My lord, something is wrong! My lord!"

Liu Bei stopped his horse, looked at the messenger in astonishment, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Xuchang... Someone from Xuchang said that it is Xuzhou Muchezhou, who wants to take back the control of Guangling County! Our hometown is going to be gone! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo......" When the orderly said it was sad, he started to feel sad began to cry.

After going out for a while, the house is almost gone?

Hearing this, Liu Bei felt unsteady and almost fell off his horse. Guan Yu, who was beside him, quickly reached out to support Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei exploded directly on the spot, like a thunderclap on the ground, and shouted: "Damn Cao Cao! We spent countless soldiers and money to help him fight Yuan Shu, and he stabbed us in the back? My old Zhang will go find him now." Seek justice!"

After Guan Yu straightened Liu Bei with his left hand, he held the Azure Dragon Saber tightly with his right hand, and said to Liu Bei, "Brother, Guangling County is our last foundation, we must not let Cao Cao take it back!"

Liu Bei has quickly stabilized his figure and mood. He knows that he must not lose his footing in front of such a major event.

Liu Bei thought for a moment, and felt that Cao Cao couldn't do such an immoral thing, so he asked the messenger, "What else did the messenger from Xuchang say?"

The messenger wiped away his tears, recalled it carefully, and then replied: "By the way, the messenger said that he will be waiting for you to return, my lord, and that he will have good news for you."

"Huh? Good news?" Zhang Fei was a little confused at the moment, and said to himself, "Then is this bad news or good news?"

The messenger shook his head and said: "I don't know, he said that he will only tell the news when the lord returns."

Zhang Fei stepped forward and couldn't help but slapped the messenger on the back of the head, complaining, "Damn you, why did you only talk in half? I was so scared that my heart jumped!"

The strength of Zhang Fei's slap was no small matter, he almost sent the soldiers to slap their eyes with stares, and almost slapped the horse directly.

Guan Yu glared at the reckless Zhang Fei, stretched out his hand again to straighten the messenger, and said to Liu Bei, "I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Cao Cao's gourd...Brother, I think we should go back as soon as possible to find out. Some are better!"

Liu Bei also felt that he couldn't delay any longer, so he said to Guan Yu, "Okay, second brother, send an order to go down and march quickly, and you must return to Guangling within three days!"

Guan Yu nodded, reined in his horse, turned around, and shouted: "Soldiers obey orders, march quickly, aiming at Guangling!"

......

Besides, the envoy from Xudu has been waiting for almost half a month.

During this period of time, accompanied by Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and Jian Yong, he played around, watched songs and dances, and lived a leisurely life.

Today, Sun Qian and others once again invited the envoy to the meeting hall to watch the singing and dancing, but the envoy's face was solemn from beginning to end, as if his mind was not on the beautiful wine and beauties in front of him.

After so many days, the emissary still maintains the attitude from the beginning, no matter how "please" or "corrupt" Sun Qian and the others, the emissary just doesn't say a word.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little weird, but Sun Qian and the others couldn't change it.

They tried to ask many times before, but the envoy always only said that Guangling County will be taken over by Xu Zhoumu. As for the reason and the good things mentioned later, he kept his mouth shut and didn't mention a word.

Just when Sun Qian and the others were secretly anxious, someone from outside came to report, "Report! Don't drive, Chang Shi! The lord has returned with his army, and he will be here soon!"

"Great! The lord is finally back!" Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and Jian Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Jian Yong waved to the singers and said, "You all go down!"

When the singer left, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei into the meeting hall.

Xu Du, who was seated first under the main seat, came to see Liu Bei's return, stood up calmly, bowed his hands to Liu Bei and said, "My next prime minister, Guoyuan, has seen Liu Yuzhou!"

Seeing this, Liu Bei subconsciously bowed his hands back and said, "Liu Bei, see...eh?"

But halfway through the conversation, Liu Bei suddenly realized that something was wrong with the other party's address to him!

"Brother, my eldest brother is Xuzhou Mu. Why are you called Cheng Yuzhou Mu? You have to remember it, and don't call it wrong next time!" Zhang Fei kindly reminded.

Guan Yu felt that the other party must have called the wrong person accidentally or on purpose, so he quickly grabbed Zhang Fei, clasped his fists in salute, and said: "My third brother is ignorant, so I hope the angels can't be blamed."

Zhang Fei kindly reminded the other party, but he was dragged by the second brother to pay for it. At this moment, his mind was full of question marks, and he muttered: "Second brother, why am I..."

Seeing that Zhang Fei still wanted to refute, Liu Bei gave Zhang Fei a sideways look.

Seeing the somewhat scary eyes of his elder brother, Zhang Fei stood behind him resentfully, and stopped talking.

Guoyuan didn't care about Zhang Fei's rudeness. He continued to say to Liu Bei: "The imperial court has appointed a new Xuzhou Mu. In order to unify the management, the imperial court hopes to take back Guangling County and hand it over to Xuzhou Mu Chezhou."

Hearing this, the complexions of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all changed.

But this time Guoyuan didn't give the three brothers Liu Bei a chance to speak. He continued: "General Liu has made great contributions to the crusade against Yuan Shu. The prime minister is grateful for General Liu's great help, so he went to the emperor and declared that you are the left general and lead Yuzhou. Shepherd."

The faces of the three brothers Liu Bei changed again, but this time they were beaming with joy.

When Zhang Fei heard it, it was really a good thing!Immediately he laughed, and said to Guan Yu: "This Cao Cao is really a righteous man."

When Liu Bei heard this, the big stone in his heart was slightly relieved.

Xuzhou was lost by Liu Bei himself. After Cao Bao captured most of Xuzhou, Liu Bei, the Xuzhou shepherd, has actually existed in name only.

If Cao Cao wanted to forcibly take back Guangling, Liu Bei really had no way or no reason to stop it. After all, the court was extraordinarily merciful for not holding Liu Bei accountable.

What Liu Bei didn't expect was that he didn't get Yuan Shu's head, but Cao Cao still presented him to the emperor, canonized him as General Zuo and led Yuzhou Mu.

With such kindness, it is hard not to make Liu Bei feel good about Cao Cao.

Guan Yu's face also showed a gleam of joy. Seeing that Liu Bei was still in a daze, he couldn't help poking Liu Bei's waist lightly with his fingers, and whispered, "Brother, thank you!"

Liu Bei was poked by Guan Yu, and only after hearing his words did he react, and hurriedly bowed his hands and bowed in salute: "Liu Bei, thank you! Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's grace!"

Guoyuan nodded to Liu Bei, and said, "Since that's the case, Liu Yuzhou should pack his luggage as soon as possible, and follow me to Xuchang to pay respects to the emperor, and then he will officially take office."

"Go to Xuchang?" Liu Bei's doubts flashed across his mind.

However, because Yingchuan County is under the rule of Yuzhou, and now the center of Yuzhou is Xuchang, it is reasonable to go to Xuchang first, so Liu Bei quickly ignored this doubt, and replied:

"Liu Bei, take orders!"

Chapter 155 Potatoes, just ask you if they are delicious?

In the second year of Jian'an, at the beginning of March, the date for the entrance examination of Taiyuan College was finally set.

The first entrance examination after the reopening of the Taiyuan Academy is scheduled for April, which is the time when spring plowing begins.

Although everyone had a premonition that the exam days might be tight, they never expected that they would be so nervous that there was only one month left.

From the re-opening of Taixue to the exam, there are only four to less than five months in the middle. For those from other states who are relatively far away and can only come here on foot, they may have to wait until the next year for reference.

This time, the exam is mainly aimed at Yan, Xu and some students around Yuzhou. It can be regarded as a benefit reserved for the people, aristocratic families, and poor families under his rule.After all, there are fewer people competing, and the chances of entering Taiyuan Academy are much higher. If students from other places in Dahan also come to take the exam, the fierce competition will be far from what it is now.

It is now March, and spring plowing will start in one month. Lu Yan finally remembered the existence of potatoes, and couldn't wait to go to the workshop, ready to see how his potato harvest was.

The planting time of potatoes has a lot to do with the region.

Like the north, it is usually planted from mid-to-late April to early May. Yanzhou is located in the north of the Central Plains, so it can be planted in May (it happened to be May when Lu Yan obtained potato rewards from the system).

In some areas in central and southern China, such as Huainan, Jiangdong, Jingbei, etc., you can start planting in January and February, and you can plant another batch in autumn in September and October to complete the one-year double-planting. fierce target.

Some people say that potatoes consume soil and cannot be continuously cropped, and they have high requirements on the soil, so they are more suitable for land with low soil viscosity; some say that potatoes are not resistant to insects, and the content of solanine will increase significantly when potatoes germinate or turn green. The storage requirements are very high.

But in this era, which staple food will not face such and such problems?We cannot use modern conditions to demand ancient times, that would be too harsh.

Let me talk about the advantages of potatoes...

Potatoes are highly adaptable and resistant to barrenness. They can be planted and maintain high yields in mountainous areas and places where other crops are not easy to grow. The less viscous and more fertile soil is definitely more conducive to the growth of potatoes and increased yields. Crop rotation can also be used to improve Soil, making the soil more conducive to the growth and production of potatoes.

Many countries in later generations use potatoes as their staple food, so it can be seen that potatoes do have their own uniqueness.

With the emergence of such a staple food with obvious advantages, the people of the Han Dynasty will not say that they will not be hungry again, at least it will greatly reduce the chance of famine.

"The potatoes planted in May last year should have been harvested in the autumn?" Lu Yan thought to himself while rushing towards the workshop: "I was arrested and sent to Xuzhou to fight the war shortly after I came back. Forgot about this... Sure enough, it's easy to forget things when you get old!"

Unknowingly, Lu Yan has reached his thirties, and if he is a future generation, he may already start to worry about what he should do after 35 years old...

Thinking all the way, Lu Yan came to an open field surrounded by the workshop alone.

Ten catties of potatoes won't produce much, but even if it's less, it's potatoes after all!

There were only ten catties of potatoes when they were planted, but when they were harvested, they harvested more than 200 catties (one catty in the Eastern Han Dynasty was equivalent to 224 grams today, and it should be more than 400 catties after conversion)!At that time, the three old farmers who were responsible for looking after the potatoes were so frightened that they sat down on the ground.

You see, even after such a long time, there are still two people who kneel and kowtow to Tudou every day. That posture clearly regards Tudou as a godsend.As for the rest of the people, they have to count the number of potatoes with their own hands every day, for fear that it will suddenly become less, or it will be broken...

There are people in this garden who are responsible for delivering three meals a day and daily necessities, and the three very experienced old farmers who are responsible for looking after the potatoes cannot leave here every day.

The potato field is in the center of the entire open land, surrounded by various vegetables and other plants, one is to add some fun to the monotonous life, and the other is to cover up the truth of the existence of potatoes.

After the potatoes were harvested, the old farmers looked forward to Lu Yan's arrival every day, but who would have thought that the brother caught them and them forgot a few days ago...

Looking left and right, in the new year's spring plowing season, Lu Yan finally came.

In fact, Lu Yan can't be blamed for forgetting things. At that time, he was busy fighting with Yuan Shu, and potatoes were too common for a modern person like him. If he forgets... just forget it.

In short, Lu Yan thought of potatoes in time when spring plowing was about to come, and brought timely relief to the three old farmers who were about to become magic sticks.

"Lu Hussar, you are finally here!" Old Nongjia, with tears in his eyes, almost knelt down subconsciously.
