Chapter 284 The lion opens his mouth, this is going to kill Sun Quan!

The ruins of Luoyang City already have towers.

At this moment, a "clang" bell sounded from the tower, and the person who rang the bell wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeves while banging the bell.

Immediately afterwards, after the civilians had a full meal at noon, their precious rest time was over, and a new round of city building began. The mighty bells caused the entire newly built bell tower in Luoyang City to ring in unison, shaking the sky.

This is like a signal telling all the migrant workers here that the time for building Luoyang City is tight and no one is allowed to be lazy.

Witnessing the civilians sweating like rain, Cao Pi was leading Liu Zhen and Wu Zhi through the busy city building scene.

Cao Pi asked as he walked.

"What's for lunch today?"

"Two noodles per person, and vegetables..." Wu Zhi quickly replied.

It stands to reason that this is already a good meal. Cao Pi pondered for a moment and looked around at the countless people with withered faces and exposed vegetables. "Without meat, how can these people have strength?"

"The fighting on the frontline is tense, and the limited food supply is more available to the front." Wu Zhi sighed: "Even the recruitment of corvees took a lot of effort... The people still complained a lot about the 'recruitment order'!

"

Speaking of corvee service... During the Han Dynasty, the service began at the age of 20, and was exempted from service at the age of 56. However, during the Cao and Wei Dynasties, "old men must be cared for by those who are over ninety years old and no longer have to work for the family!"

This means that older people also have to serve until they are over ninety years old.

As for the travel expenses on the road and the expenses of carriage and horse, all are borne by the corvee himself.

Even meals…

Cao Pi opened the chisel in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people... But...

Look at the skinny appearance of these civilians.

"Alas..." Cao Pi sighed, with deep sorrow in his eyes, "My father only has clans, clans, and military households in his eyes... He has never valued the lives of ordinary people so much. From now on, compared with the Han Dynasty,

It can be seen from the harsh corvee work at that time!"

At this moment, a wild fox passed by among the people. One of the people had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed it with his hands like pliers and held the fox's mouth tightly. He laughed and said: "Finally something fishy.

, I’ll bake it tonight…”

Cao Pi looked at his happy expression and smiled reluctantly.

On the other hand, Wu Zhi, who was on the side, had his eyes fixed and figured out some other smells, "No, the fox should be digging deep holes during the day, not to mention there are so many people, how come... he suddenly jumped out! There is someone.

Have you dug their burrows?"

When Wu Zhi said this, Liu Zhen thought of something. He quickly looked at Cao Pi and said, "Master Zihuan, just now I wanted to report that Mr. Li Miao has secretly recruited a group of civilians recently. Others are building cities, but he is

He is digging a trench, and this trench is not outside the city wall. I am thinking... why is he digging such a deep trench? Is it possible that he wants to dig a tunnel that goes through the inside and outside of Luoyang City? "

Liu Zhen's words immediately aroused Wu Zhi's vigilance, "Tunnel? Why did he dig a tunnel? Is this an act of losing his head? Who gave him the instructions? Master Zihuan, there is something wrong with this Li Miao..."

In an instant, Wu Zhi's expression hardened.

He is one of Cao Pi's think tanks. To be precise, he is the leading think tank besides Sima Yi.

In the past, when Cao Cao went to conquer Wuhuan, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi both went to see him off.

Cao Zhi praised his merits and made a well-organized speech. He recited a soul-stirring poem called "White Horse Pian", in which "The long drive passed the Xiongnu, and the left side looked at Ling Xianbei" which made Cao Cao highly praised.

Cao Pi felt that he was being compared and felt ashamed. At that time, Wu Zhi whispered to Cao Pi and asked him to cry on the ground, expressing his reluctance to leave Cao Cao while crying.

Seeing Cao Pi's tears, Cao Cao was deeply moved. Even Xun Yu and Zhong Yao looked at Cao Pi with admiration. Many of the ministers sighed and were moved.

For a time, in a small farewell game, the actions of Cao Zhi and Cao Pi were at odds, with Cao Pi firmly gaining the upper hand.

This is all thanks to Wu Zhi...

It is no exaggeration to say that if the original trajectory of history was followed, if Cao Pi could compete for the throne, Sima Yi would certainly take the greatest credit, but he would not be able to do it without Wu Zhi!

At this moment, Wu Zhi noticed the strange behavior of Li Miao and quickly reminded Cao Pi.

Cao Pi gave Wu Zhi and Liu Zhen a signal, and they followed Cao Pi to a deserted place. Cao Pi turned around solemnly and said to them seriously.

"I can't say something too clearly. It would put me and you in danger. You just need to know that I know Mr. Li's actions and instructed him to do it. There is no problem... From now on

From now on, don’t mention this again, and even sometimes, you have to help him cover it up, and don’t allow ordinary people to get close to the place where he’s building a city!”

this…

Neither Liu Zhen nor Wu Zhi were fools, especially Wu Zhi. When Cao Pi mentioned this, he immediately understood everything.

Sure enough, what kind of trench did Li Miao dig? This is obviously a secret passage! It is a secret passage connecting the inside and outside of Luoyang!

As for what this secret passage is for?

Since it was ordered by Cao Pi...then...how could there be less competition for the crown prince?

Along with the sound of "gu dong", Liu Zhen and Wu Zhi swallowed subconsciously. It would be too dangerous to think about it any more and they could not continue to think about it.

On the contrary, only Li Miao can do this!

He is a madman, fearless of heaven and earth. This is a matter of beheading. Who else would dare?

Over there, under a bright sun in the sky, Li Miao, dressed in ragged clothes, was struggling to move stones with a group of "coolies" in a deep ditch.

There are about sixty people in these coolies, half of them are "Parrot"'s killers. Since "Parrot" has found its "financier", he no longer has to carry out assassination missions to make a living...

These killers had nothing to do, and now they just happened to join the ranks of building the city.

The other thirty or so are members of the Jiangling City Beggar Gang, all of whom have sworn enemies with Cao Cao...

This selection process requires at least two "political reviews", and everyone who comes to Li Miao is trustworthy.

That’s all…

However, these people spared no effort in building the city. They knew better than anyone else that the digging of this tunnel... would bring huge opportunities for the future of Liu Bei, Guan Yu... and even the fall of Cao Wei and the disappearance of Cao Cao's body.

!

——The future is promising!

Naturally, they also have great respect for Li Miao, the "big brother who takes the lead."

"Mr. Li, you are a scholar and cannot do this physical work. Let us do it..."

"Yes, Mr. Li can just watch from the sidelines. I won't delay the progress."

"Mr. Li, Mr. Hong Qigong needs your brain. He can't be exhausted from this physical work!"

Huh... Li Miao breathed out, feeling inexplicably moved in his heart.

It was as if he was deep behind enemy lines and fighting alone for a long time, and suddenly there were many relatives around him. This feeling made him intoxicated.

How could he be willing to sit aside and watch?

He wants to fight side by side with these "relatives"!

"It is said that if a scholar is not diligent, he will not be able to separate the grains! He has no strength to tie a chicken. In the past six months of building the city, I have regarded it as just training my body and bones. Without a strong body, how can I survive until the day of our victory?"

Li Miao's words made everyone laugh...

After the ridiculousness was over, everyone's eyes became fascinated.

But soon, these ragged men were once again engaged in the hard work of digging deep trenches.

This is not an easy job.

However... what they don't know is that just now, Liu Zhen and Wu Zhi ordered that the construction site where Li Miao was working be strictly prohibited, not even a bird was allowed to enter!

Liu Zhen and Wu Zhi had begun to deliberately protect Li Miao.

This is a different kind of "working together with one heart"!

…

…

A bamboo slip was placed in front of Lu Xun, Han Xuan, Tai Shixiang, Sun Shao and Sun Ru.

Han Xuan came to negotiate with Lu Xun on behalf of the Sun-Liu Alliance.

At this moment, several Lu Xun's requests had been written on the bamboo slips.

For example - "One hundred thousand members of the Lu family in Wu County must not be harmed, and the businesses, shops, and fields of the Lu family in Wu County must not be invaded!"

Another example - "Lu Jiajun can go back to visit relatives at any time, and Soochow is not allowed to obstruct it."

Also - "The Lu family members are allowed to transport grain and grass to the Lu family army... Soochow states and counties must facilitate it."

Lu Xun racked his brains and thought hard all night, and after taking into account Sun Quan's urine, he came up with a "feasible" plan that is easy for both parties to accept...

However, after Han Xuan read this bamboo slip, he threw it out of the window.

"Mr. Han? What are you doing?"

Lu Xun was shocked...
