Chapter 1085 The white horse is trapped in the rain and bullied(1/2)
It is true that human will can overcome all difficulties. However, if the geographical location is convenient, it will be even better. How can such a powerful enemy not be frightening? If it can really be controlled
Xu Du, with all this behind her, does she really have a chance to develop the Central Plains? Doesn’t she want the world?!
Unless Lu Xian dies, the world will be in trouble. Therefore, Prime Minister Cao has always regarded her as a thorn in his side and regarded her as someone who had to be eliminated.
Because of all this in Xuzhou, no one can play well except her. Asking Liu Bei to play, although he claims to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, but asking him to send people to do business with barbarians, haha, which scholar around him despises
It is rare to be proficient in this way, and many literati are too noble to bother to do this. If they really do it, it will be a three-point success, and Liu Bei cannot stare at his hands every day.
The people below asked him how much he earned, because doing so would appear unnoble and greedy, which is absolutely inconsistent with the moral requirements of this era for the noble family.
The default culture of the Central Plains is that you can have more land and tax more, but you can never do business. It is a shameful thing. If you take this too seriously, you will even look down upon those who follow you in starting a business.
Anyway, that’s what culture is.
The news from the spies was that although Lu Xian did not do this herself, she knew how to use people. She did not use people who were bound by this culture, but people at the bottom who were good at exploiting the situation.
This kind of people are from a low background and want to climb up. They have big legs to hug them, but they still can’t do their best for Xuzhou?!
As for people, as long as they have a lot of money, they may not be able to live a good life. If they earn enough money, they will think about how to live a noble life, break through the restrictions of class, and obtain a civil nobility. This is what they want to cross in their life.
The threshold. And this threshold has been relaxed. All the people with expertise like snakes and rats have gone to join this kind of small business department. Even though it is a small department, it cannot stand up to Li Da!
And Lu Xian has even recruited many pirates of that kind. As long as they are willing to seek refuge, they can all join the ranks. Because of their convenient guidance, going to sea is a sure thing.
And when these people work hard, they can do better than those who are not good at it or disdain it. They only focus on making money and then get the credit.
And disdain this kind of people, even if he is asked to do it, he can turn a small department into a place of intrigue, arguing about ideological and cultural chains of contempt every day.
The difference here is an exponential difference.
Therefore, it is extremely terrifying to see the development of Xuzhou and what it has brought back.
How long will it take before their finances can afford to send so many troops to fight for such a long time?
Even Cao Cao couldn't do it. If he didn't have money, he would even have to blackmail those wealthy families into donating money and then grant him a title or something. In times of difficulty, he would even have to ask the army to dig the grave. Even though the emperor
, but wealth is on the surface, poverty is on the inside.
It's like guarding the golden mountain of the Central Plains, but there is no time to mine and develop it. It can only be glamorous on the surface, but secretly even military expenditures are stretched and miserable.
As for the nouveau riche from the opposite side, although they don’t have gold mountains, their cash flow is still alive, and the water flowing in them is gold water. There is no need to dig, it will flow automatically and be used endlessly...
That feeling is really irritating!
Cao Zhen had a restless sleep. One moment, there was news about Xuzhou. The next moment, he seemed to be in the Xuzhou examination room in his dream. He could take exams in any category. The next moment, he vaguely thought that Lu Xian was really a traitor and would be a traitor.
She coaxed Lu Bu and made him stunned. With Lu Bu's nature, if he lived a luxurious life, how could he have the will to come to the Central Plains to fight for hegemony?! It can be seen that she is someone who can pretend to be poor, talk about crises, and fight.
A chicken-blooded one who can also drive Lu Bu and even coax Lu Bu to forge ahead.
There was no calm moment in my mind, and then I woke up in a cold sweat.
There was thunder rumbling outside.
"General, the sky is getting cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily." The soldier came in and said.
"The spring thunder suddenly sounded, and the rain fell like a waterfall..." Cao Zhen murmured: "...The spring rain should not be too heavy."
I don’t know.
The key is that the rain is hard to predict. Sometimes it rains a lot in spring and autumn. Although rivers rarely swell in spring and autumn, once it rains heavily, the inner city will be flooded. People in the city will suffer more!
He really couldn't rest for a moment, so Cao Zhen got off the bed and said: "Arrange people to take turns to drain the waterlogging in the city. Ask the common people to take out the water-collecting basins and fill them with more."
The soldiers are gone.
The inner city is like this. The city in ancient times was small on one hand and had a really poor drainage system on the other. It was better in spring and autumn. Once summer comes, if it rains for several days in a row, there will be no waterlogging outside the city, but there will definitely be no waterlogging inside the city.
It's flooded.
So we still have to drain waterlogging, so let’s drain it. The key is that people suffer.
Of course, having too much water is annoying, and being short of water is also annoying. There are bound to be a lot of water tanks on the streets and alleys. Most of the people's houses are made of wood. In order to prevent fire, it is required to have a large water tank every five steps.
To store water, we cannot let it be empty. Residents in the city have long had the habit of storing water. Secondly, the draft of water will also be restricted. If there is a shortage of water, if the people in the city do not have enough well water to eat, they can only rely on the people's own water tanks.
It comes alive with the water in the barrel. So at this special moment, water is a problem. If there is no water, something will happen, and if there is too much water, something will happen.
Cao Zhen was very upset. He put on his raincoat and went out. Looking at the gloomy sky and the rain pouring down, the depression in his heart was very dark.
And this kind of depression cannot be expressed. He must show that nothing is happening to the entire army, otherwise the military will be in panic because of him.
He thought that he was really suffering from an anxiety disorder. If he knew it was called an anxiety disorder.
He just couldn't help but think of Duke Cao, Lu Xian, Xu Du, and Xuzhou.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He stood on the city wall and looked at Zang Bajun's camp, but he couldn't see clearly because of the rain curtain.
Guo Jia's plan to kill Lu Bu and his daughter has been defeated. If Lu Xian had not died, can we still say with certainty who is in charge of this world?!
Xuzhou now has the favorable geographical location and the right people. If we enter Xudu again, seize the time, coax the emperor, and control the situation in the world, what will happen to Mr. Cao?!
Cao Zhen didn't know. He just felt a little scary.
No wonder Cao Gong only regards Lu Xian as his biggest enemy, and she has really become a serious enemy, and she can even lift the foundation of Xu Du!
After Lu Xian resolved this crisis, who can know what earth-shaking changes will happen during the subsequent trip to Xudu?!
It's just that Cao Zhen couldn't help but worry about how to break the situation if Cao Gong failed to control the situation when he returned.
Yuan Shao has been defeated and is now falling apart. The remnants of the Yuan family, including the two Yuans, have nothing to fear. Then, the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains and the northern border is a matter between Cao Gong and Lu Bu's father and daughter...
A sudden heavy rain made Zang Bajun feel uncomfortable. He was afraid of waterlogging when he was marching outside. Fortunately, he chose a high place when setting up camp. Otherwise, there would be too much water and there would be ditches in the tent and camp. It would be impossible to sit down and rest.
Even if people can take shelter from the rain in the tent, the horses still suffer. They step in the water and kick constantly.
It is very easy to get sick when fighting in spring, because the rain brings a lot of germs in the wild. In addition, there are many casualties. If the dead are not burned in time, the whole army may be infected with diseases and become sick.

Zang Ba said: "First move the wounded to a dry camp and use some medicine from Pengcheng. In this weather, if the wound is infected, you will suffer."
You may not survive if you suffer. Even if you die, you will have to suffer some inhuman pain before you die. Even more painful.
If the wound is infected at this time, if there are no antibiotics, you can only watch the injured part smell and rot away bit by bit, and then you will not die for a while, you can only live in pain and fear. If you are lucky, the carrion will be dug out, and the wound will not disappear.
If it rots again, he may still be able to survive. Even if he is disabled, if he is unlucky and the mold is not completely removed, even if his limb is amputated and he does not die from wound infection, he may die from excessive blood loss.
Fortunately, Hua Tuo sent medicine. Although it is not much, it is very effective in treating wound infections. Generally, people will not be allergic. As long as there is no difficulty in breathing, there is basically a high survival rate.
Because there are not many, they are basically given priority to the wounded with major trauma.
Spring rain creates an environment where many bacteria live, and people become impetuous.
Mi Heng said: "Our army is suffering, and their city may not be immune. Once there is waterlogging, haha, there is no place to move. Do you hear the crying?! Many people saw the water in their homes and sat on the table to cry.
."
Zhao Yundao said: "You should be more eloquent. What joy is there in the suffering of the people?!"
Mi Heng was speechless and thought to himself, just be the Holy Mother. For a cold-blooded person like him, as long as they are not a citizen of Xuzhou, they are also a citizen of the enemy.
But knowing that Zhao Yun didn't like to hear this, he didn't say it out loud.
Xu Chu sneaked out and followed Cao Cao first.
When Cao Cao saw Xu Chu arriving, he felt relieved and said, "With Zhong Kang here, I'll be at ease!"
Xu Chu said: "Zhang Xiu has captured the white horse, and Liu Yan is already dead. This thief is really hateful. Chu and Zidan have killed him."
Cao Cao thought of Zhang Xiuqing's betrayal and said: "This thief has been untamed for a long time. No matter how kind-hearted he is, he will bite back. This kind of person cannot be tolerated, but must be killed!"
p>
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief. If he could control the general trend, keeping Zhang Xiu would be fine. It would not shake his foundation. But when there is an obvious crisis in front of him, keeping Zhang Xiu would be a serious problem.
If he went to Xudu and took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, Cao Cao would probably have a big headache.
Now that he knows that Zhang Xiu is dead, Cao Cao feels relieved.
He also said: "Liu Yan has performed his duties faithfully and will reward him later."
There was no time to say more at the moment, so he hurried to Xudu. After two days of driving, Xu Huang arrived day and night with his tired 4,000 men and horses. When Xu Huang came, Cao Cao felt hot in his eyes, and he cried and helped Xu Huang, who was ashamed.
Huang said, "If Gong Ming doesn't come here risking his life, how can I get back Xu's rescue by myself?!"
Xu Huang also shed tears. The principal and the minister felt infinite emotion and aggrieved in their hearts, but the emotions were real and strong.
Revolutionary friendships can easily arise between people because of their common ambitions and difficult circumstances.
Such emotions transcend all family affection, love, friendship, and even the power of life and death. This is detachment and transcendence.
Such great feelings can no longer be imagined in terms of small personal feelings, because when the personality is limited to oneself, it is difficult to imagine the existence of such a thing.
Cao Cao was very emotional and said: "I regret that Gongda is not with me."
"Gongda will definitely be able to guard the White Horse and seize the critical point." Cui Yan said: "My lord, it is important to return to Xu. As long as Xu is safe, it will not be too late to send troops and horses to support the White Horse. If Xu is defeated, I am afraid that the White Horse will be defended."
It’s useless. Only when the roots are deep can a tree grow taller. My lord!”
Cao Cao said: "With Ji Gui by my side, I will share my worries with Cao Duoduo and bear the burden of Lu Bu's father and daughter together!"
