Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 114

    The spring of the second year of Chuping came quietly.

    It illuminated Sun Jian, who was fighting bandits in Changsha, Huangfu Song, who resisted the Qiang people in Xiliang, and Gongsun Zan, who hammered Xianbei in western Liaoning. He also shed light on Liu Bei, who fled after beating the postal supervisor, Dong Zhuo, who was drunk in Luoyang, the Marquis of Hefei who proclaimed himself emperor in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao, who came to Qingzhou to contact him.

    The first batch of seedlings in Pingyuan County have sprouted, and the banks of the river are green, which makes people happy when they see it. Cao Cao, who ordered to settle the fields, also gave himself an acre of land in Linhe, and he planted rice that was completely different from others. The adaptability of this paddy field crop has been controversial in the north. Only Cao Cao, who had seen Zhao Laohan growing rice when he was a child, had the courage to try it.

    I saw him wearing a short brown with half sleeves, a straw hat, his trouser legs rolled up to his thighs, his feet sunk in the paddy field, planting rice with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The two rows of seedlings were planted crookedly, and the old Liaodong peasant on the side couldn’t stand it any longer, and he wanted to pull the eldest son away.

    “Hahaha.” Cao Cao laughed and jumped on the field ridge, and the muddy water almost splashed on Yuan Shao’s expensive robe, “Wang Weng, at least my seedlings are still alive.”

    Old peasant Wang Weng almost couldn’t control his violent temper: “If the autumn is crooked, it will not be easy to harvest, and then the old man will suffer.” After he finished speaking, he bent down angrily and brushed Brush the ground to plant the seedlings, fast and steady, even the distance between the seedlings is measured with a ruler.

    Wang Weng felt at ease, looking up and seeing Cao Cao standing on the ridge with a straw hat, he could not help shouting: “Darang, you still go to practice troops. Well. If your soldiers are well trained, we can farm with peace of mind.”

    Yuan Shao also wanted to pull Cao Cao away, but looking at Cao Cao’s hands full of mud and sweat-soaked shorts, he couldn’t find a place to start.

    Cao Cao smiled: “In the beginning, you go back to the city first. I’ll change clothes and go look for you.”

    So Yuan Shao boarded the gorgeous carriage he was riding in.

    Half an hour later, they were drinking tea in the courtyard of the Prefect’s Mansion. Yuan Shao was not used to the clear tea that had recently emerged among celebrities, so Cao Cao boiled black dates and sour plums for him. The color and taste of the final product were similar to sour plum soup.

    The so-called tea making in this era really frees the imagination.

    Yuan Shao didn’t put his mind on this new tea, he put down the cup after two sips. “Meng De has great talents. In less than a year of governing the plains, the bandits vanished and the peasants prospered. Are you willing to be just a small prefect of the plains?”

    This question made Cao Cao’s heart tremble, so he had to put down the sour plum tea: “Benchu, you and I have been friends for many years. If you have anything to say, just say it.”

    Yuan Shao looked half an inch away: “Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard that Liu Tan was enthroned in Jizhou, and ordered his general Guo Si to lead the army to attack Jizhou Muwangfen. I will contact the prefects of Guandong, the state Mu, in Jizhou—” He made a gesture of decapitation, “Kill Guo Si and destroy Dong Zhuo’s arm.”

      Originally, neither he nor Wang Fen had strong backgrounds, and taking the lead in proclaiming the emperor was a crazy act of hitting a stone with an egg. If the Emperor Ling was still there, no one would care about these two little brothers. But who knows that things are fickle, and within a year, the Yellow Turban Uprising, the death of Emperor Ling, Dong Zhuo’s usurpation of power, and the independence of the princes happened one after another.

    The country name follows Han, and the era name is Huangtian.

    In response to the prophecy that “the sky is dead, the yellow sky will stand”, it’s really enough. But think about it and understand, Jizhou is Zhang Jiao’s hometown and the base camp of the Yellow Turbans. Using a year in exchange for the surrender of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans is simply a lucrative business.

    As Cao Cao thought about the news from Jizhou, he frowned: “Did you originally think that Huang Tiandi was an orthodox Han? In terms of blood, he is only a clan 8,000 miles away. King Chenliu [2], who is not the father and son of the late emperor; in terms of standing, how can he be convincing by recruiting yellow turbans to start his career?”

    Yuan Shao slammed the table: “Do you want me to enter Luoyang to serve Liu Xie’s child as the master? When I helped General He kill the Empress Dowager Dong and welcomed the eldest prince Liu Bian, I already The second prince has been completely offended. Originally, when I saw Liu Xie ascended the throne and Liu Bian died, I was going to hide in the mountains. But Dong Zhuo heard that I was good friends with Xu You of Jihan, so he slaughtered the old and young members of the Yuan family in Luoyang… Poor There are more than 100 people in my Yuan family… If this revenge is not avenged, I swear not to be human!” [3]

    Cao Cao saw that his tears and snot came out, so he could only comfort him: “I originally wanted to unite the states to attack Dong Zhuo, it is not impossible.”

    Yuan Shao raised his head and grabbed Cao Cao’s hand: “Meng De is willing to send troops?”

    “I planned to attack Dong Zhuo after harvesting this summer.”

    Yuan Shao was even more excited, and almost danced with Cao Cao’s sleeve. “I knew Meng De…”

    “Wait—” Cao Cao hurriedly stopped him and quickly said, “You can ask Dong, but you can’t send troops in the name of Liu Tan and Jihan, otherwise I will become a chaotic thief who set up another court. It cannot be recognized by the world.”

    Yuan Shao stopped all body movements, and looked at Cao Cao with a pair of bright eyes, and there was no trace of grief in it. He said in a deep voice, word by word: “I also think that Liu Tan and Wang Fen can’t convince the public, and the era name Huang Tian is like a joke. I think, how about we send troops in the name of ‘revenge for the young emperor Liu Bian’? “

    Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief: “In the beginning, as long as you are not blinded by hatred, who will the heroes of the world give up to you?”

    Yuan Benchu ​​listened to Cao Cao’s compliments, and his face showed a trace of pride in controlling the overall situation, as if he was the high-spirited Yuan Benchu ​​who was in the General’s Mansion again. “Since it is to avenge the young emperor, then I will directly send troops to Luoyang, and ignore the troops sent by Dong Zhuo to Jizhou.” Let them fight with Wang Fen and Liu Tan, and it is best to lose both.

    Many officials in Jizhou are former disciples of the Yuan family. Once Liu Tan falls, he will just be able to enter Jizhou. Hiding behind Liu Tan to engage in conspiracy, where is it refreshing to be the master of the house?

    Thinking about this, Yuan Shao was even more happy, and ran outside before finishing his tea. “Prepare the car, prepare the car. I’m going to contact Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and others.”

    Cao Cao stood in front of the mansion gate, watching Yuan Shao’s gorgeous car hurried away, his eyes were deep. From his standpoint, Emperor Ling had only two sons. The eldest, Liu Bian, was killed by Dong Zhuo. Now that he was unwilling, he could only recognize the five-year-old Liu Xie by pinching his nose. Destroying Dong Zhuo and supporting the young emperor is the way to save the country.

    But others don’t seem to think so.

    Even Ah Sheng didn’t think so.

    In the early spring when the oriole sang, Cao Cao could clearly recall the words sent by Ah Sheng with the grain seed: “My brother thinks that some of the people who seek Dong are for fame, and others How many, to destroy the prestige of the central court?”

    Am I really wrong?

    Can Dong really save the big man?

    Spring was silent, and also came to the land of Liaodong. The first city to usher in life is the southernmost port of Dalian.

    Caojiawu Fort is built on a low mountain. The road paved with cement and pebbles makes it extremely convenient to get up and down. You can enter the bustling urban area in less than a stick of incense. The blue tile carvings extend all the way to the port, echoing the countless sea ships docked there.

    At this time, two young boys riding ponies, carrying hares and pheasants, galloped along the concrete road to the low hills. After passing the three fences, the two got off their horses and rushed into the main hall familiarly: “Mother, we saw the ‘Zhiyuan’ parked in the port, but grandfather and aunt are here?”

      Cao Song’s concubine, Cao Song’s concubine, concubines and concubines, concubines and concubines, plus unmarried daughters and granddaughters, there are thirty or forty people.

    Crowded and unruly.

    The corners of Cao Ang’s eyes twitched, and he hurriedly bowed his head to salute. This set of gifts was learned by Ah Sheng from the Xun family. Even if Yuan Shao came, he would only praise him.

    The nine-year-old Cao Shuo does not have as much thought as his brother. He was especially enthusiastic about sea ships, and he still danced when he climbed on the seat: “Mother, the ‘Zhiyuan’ is so big, we can see it on the mountain. It’s bigger than the ‘Weiyuan’ we took when we came.”

    Ding Shi smiled and wiped Cao Shuo’s sweat, but said two words of disgust: “The smell of blood, I don’t know how to change clothes, and bumped into your aunt and sisters. What shall we do?”

    Cao Ang hurriedly pleaded guilty and dragged his younger brother to change clothes behind the screen.

    Grandpa Cao Song, who was sitting at the top, was full of love. Whether it is the innocent and lively Cao Shuo, or the cautious Cao Ang, he comforts his heart hurt by his son’s rebelliousness: “Okay, okay. Meng De’s son is well raised.”

    Ding hurriedly said modestly: “Aon Muzan. Erlang has been busy with spring plowing these few days, and these two children are wild, hunting and riding outside all day—”

    “Yeah. Forget about Cao Ang, and Cao Shuo is too unruly.” With this arrogant voice, you don’t need to listen to the content to know it’s Mrs. Zhang.

    Ding’s eyes were slightly darkened, and the corners of his mouth raised two points: “No, it’s both a mink and a deer, where can I get so many mink skins at home? I told them that the killing was too heavy. , what do you say when you are Ah Shuo?” Mrs Ding stared at Mrs Zhang intentionally or unintentionally, and her red lips parted lightly: “A Shun said, what is deer hunting, he will fight Xianbei in the future, and he will be considered a hero if he hunts countless heads!”

    Zhang was frightened by her gaze and almost fell off the seat.

     Mrs Ding smiled and turned to Cao Song again: “Aweng, do you think this child is under-discipline?” It’s like talking to Mr. Zhang.

    “Xian…what’s the point of a virtuous woman?” Cao Song stammered, “Nowadays in troubled times, only a strong force can survive. I think Ah Shuo is very good. I think Ah Shuo is very good.”

    Brothers Cao Ang and Cao Shuo hid behind the screen. Cao Shuo secretly bit his brother’s ear: “Brother, when did I say I was going to join the army? We haven’t caught a mink before.”

    Cao Ang patted the silly brother’s head lovingly, and whispered: “This is the mother who bluffed them. Just wait and see, after today, not so many people dare to bother us. “

    Sure enough, no one dared to object when Mr. Ding divided the room after lunch. The courtyard that Zhang Shi and her children were assigned to was the same as other concubines and concubines, and even more remote, and she did not dare to make a sound.

    Sister Bian, who finally got out of the sea of ​​misery, was about to cry with her in her arms. “Madam…or Madam Gaoming…”

    Ding looked at her big belly with a little fear: “There is nothing clever or not. You take good care of your baby, and you will be prosperous all the way. Now raising a baby is the most important thing.”

    Bian wiped away her tears and laughed: “Then I’m back in the room?”

    “Go, go, I’ll ask the gynecologist to show you. If you need anything, just call me back.”

     Mrs. Bian was helped away by the maid, and there were only two children left in the house: Cao Pei, the youngest sister-in-law, Cao Song, the grandfather, and Cao Ang and Cao Shuo. These people are the real masters. Ding’s asked people to change the incense and serve the dessert again.

    “Alas,” Cao Shuo rested his chin in his hand, “it’s a pity that my sister hasn’t come back yet, and I missed the heroic appearance of my mother.”

    Cao Ang hurriedly glared at his younger brother, grandfather was still sitting on top.

     Mrs Ding looked at Cao Song with a half-smile but not a smile: “The courtyard next to Mrs Zhang has a good view. If A Weng wants to live, I’ll let the servants repair it?”

    Cao Song: “This is not in line with the rules. I’d better live in the main house.”

    “Your courtyard Erlang has long been prepared. In the innermost part of the central axis of Wubao, sitting north facing south, Peony Tang Spring. By the way, it is separated from the plum garden by a wall. Now, it’s very convenient for you to visit her in Meiyuan.”

    Grandma? Wu’s? The living Buddha?

    Cao Song only felt cold sweat all over her back, and she didn’t know how she was helped back to the room. He needs to take a bath in a hot spring to calm down.

    After dealing with the concubine and the unassuming father-in-law’s family, Ding’s eyes turned to Cao Pei, who was like a living dead.

    “Ape, you…”

    A Pei was eating milk cakes, when he heard the words, he raised his head and stared straight at Ding Shi with two expressionless eyes.

    Ding rubbed her head with a smile: “That child, Ah Zhen, went to Goguryeo in the north to help the hospital. The danger is a little more dangerous, but I think she lives at ease. Do you want to? , also to relax?”

      ). But at that time, Emperor Ling was still alive and kicking, Zhang Jiao was already cold, so he failed in the end, Xu You fled, Wang Fen committed suicide, and everyone else was cold. The Marquis of Hefei is the imperial clan, and the name cannot be verified. Liu Tan was made up by me.

    Note [2]: King Chen Liu, referring to Liu Xie, the second son of Emperor Ling. During Liu Bian’s short-term succession, his younger brother was named King Chenliu.

    Note [3]: About Yuan Shao’s family who was killed in history. The Yuan family is from Runan County, Yuzhou, next to Cao Cao’s hometown of Qiao County, Peiguo. However, because many Yuan family members are officials in Luoyang, most of the relatives of the core direct line are in Luoyang. When Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu joined the princes to attack Dong, their uncle Yuan Hui was serving as the third prince at the court, and his whole family was killed. But judging from their age, Yuan Shao’s sons should be safe and sound, perhaps because they were in their hometown of Runan at the time, or they were with their father. Therefore, the so-called killing of the whole family was killing the entire family of the uncle. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu himself did not suffer much damage, and the grief was over. It can be seen from the fact that the two of them were sluggish when they asked for directors, and they didn’t intend to take revenge at all.
