After Cao Xing left, Lu Bu fell into deep thought again. He was thinking about who else in his impression could be explored. Now Lu Bu was determined and blindly pursued the bodies of those people. As for the heart? I’ll think about it later.
In a short time, Lu Bu thought of several people, none of whom have yet to completely recognize his master, including Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Le Jin who has been captured by him, and Guo Jia, who is still with Yuan Shao. Gan Ning had already arrived in Jingzhou.
Lu Bu thought about it, and was about to get a pen and ink to write it down. After all, he was afraid that he would forget about it when he got busy. Lu Bu didn't think about conquering these people with his own reputation. Anyway, he just wanted to do it first. Find ways to get people here. As long as they come, these people will not want to defect to Cao Cao or Liu Bei.
However, at this moment, Hao Meng ran over in a hurry.
"My lord, it's not good. The soil in the rice fields where fairy grain seeds were sown is a little dry!"
Hao Meng shouted loudly as he ran, and when he came to Lu Bu, he knelt down on one knee.
"My lord, I am incompetent, please punish me, but the soil of those rice fields where fairy grain seeds are sprinkled is becoming more and more dry. I really don't know how much water to put in, and I don't know what to do. I came here to tell my lord. "
When Lu Bu heard this, he no longer thought about those ridiculous things, but stood up directly and looked at Hao Meng.
"Stop kneeling and come with me now to see what's going on!"
Lu Bu did not dare to delay, so he stood up and left. Although Hao Meng was not punished, he was still tensed, and his face was even more worried. He felt guilty and annoyed at the same time. It seemed that he felt that he was too incompetent. Some of them didn't even do this well.
Hao Meng did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed Lu Bu towards the rice fields.
When Lu Bu arrived, Chen Deng was already here and was looking at the rice fields, surrounded by people.
Lu Bu walked inside and stopped directly in front of a field where rice seeds were cultivated.
Chen Deng came to Lu Bu at this time.
"My lord, the weather has been intense these days, and there are signs of dryness. These fields must be irrigated in time, and the waterways must be widened as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the current flow of water, it may be difficult to preserve the part of the rice fields downstream. .”
Lu Bu listened to Chen Deng's words and did not speak. Instead, he looked at the rice field in front of him. The small water flow divided on both sides of the rice field ridge now had not much water. Although it was still flowing, it was smaller than at the beginning. A lot.
Lu Bu grabbed some soil and felt the moisture in it. Soon, Lu Bu knew that the surface of the soil needed to be replenished with water, otherwise it would be impossible to cultivate seedlings.
And even if it can be cultivated, the seedlings will inevitably be affected.
Lu Bu stood up and looked around. Soon, Lu Bu had the answer.
"Yuanlong, although the water channel matter needs to be dealt with quickly, the most important thing right now is not to let these rice seeds be lost. Now we must replenish the water as soon as possible. Now that the water channel has not been widened, we can only use it to carry water to replenish it. Later We will complete the widening and excavation of the water channel as soon as possible.”
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he turned to look at Hao Meng.
"Hao Meng, take your people now and go to fetch water immediately. No matter what method you use, fetch water as soon as possible. Now we only need to properly water these fields. Each field requires about five barrels of water.
You need to take people there right now. Quickly, get everyone moving! "
After Hao Meng heard this, he immediately led people to fetch water. Lu Bu then looked at Chen Deng.
"Yuanlong, you go and collect the water scoops now. Rice fields cannot be irrigated directly with water. They must be watered, and they must stop after the soil has fully absorbed water. After you find the water scoops, you must remove the bottom of the water scoops. Break a few small holes.
Remember, this hole must not be big, it must be as small as possible so that water can leak out, as soon as possible! "
After hearing this, Chen Deng quickly took people down to collect water scoops, while Lu Bu began to look at every rice field. After looking at several fields in a row, Lu Bu finally felt relieved.
Although these rice fields have suddenly become dry, almost all of them are on the surface, and the soil further down still has enough water. The current conditions are not enough to affect the development of rice seeds. They just need to replenish water as soon as possible.
Just when Lu Bu had almost finished inspecting all the rice fields, Chen Deng came back first.
"My lord, do you think these are enough? They have all leaked to the bottom. I have tried it myself. The water column flowing out is very small. My lord, please see if it is okay."
Lu Bu looked at at least dozens of large water ladles, and felt relieved. He then picked up one and filled a ladle in the small stream of water. The water column was only about the size of a pen refill, and Lu Bu felt relieved.
"Okay, Yuanlong did an excellent job. This is enough. Thank you Yuanlong for your hard work."
Hearing Lu Bu's affirmation, Chen Deng also smiled.
"This is what I should do. There is no need for me to say this, my lord. I like the fish stew that my lord sent me earlier. Thank you, lord.
I also heard that my lord defeated Cao Cao's army in two battles, captured three of Cao Cao's generals, and then single-handedly broke through Cao Cao's 20,000-strong army, injuring several of Cao Cao's generals, and finally wounded Cao Cao with an arrow. I was extremely impressed by my lord's power.
I would like to congratulate my lord here. This Xuzhou will definitely belong to my lord. "
Lu Bu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. This matter was not what he wanted, and the solo riding behind was not what he expected. However, if there was any way, he could only admit it openly.
"It's fine if you like the sashimi Yuanlong. From now on, I'll have someone prepare it for you. As for defeating Cao Cao, it all depends on the government's plan. Wen Yuan and other soldiers died in obedience. It's not my fault alone. "
Chen Deng smiled and did not reply. He still knew in detail about the battle between Cao Cao and Cao Cao. Now that Lu Bu had given the credit to Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and others, Chen Deng felt extremely high in his heart.
The two chatted for a while, and Hao Meng arrived quickly, followed by hundreds of people, some carrying double buckets on their shoulders, and some carrying two buckets of water. They were all extremely cautious for fear of falling down. Water is normal.
"Lord, I've brought you all the water."
Lu Bu looked at Hao Meng, nodded, patted Hao Meng's shoulder, and then looked at the other sergeants who were arriving one after another.
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. Don't worry. When the autumn harvest comes, I, Lu Fengxian, will definitely let all the brothers come together to eat this fragrant rice. I will ensure that the brothers like it.
Now, let's work hard together to cultivate and plant this rice. Do you have the confidence, brothers? "
Listening to Lu Bu's voice, everyone's fatigue seemed to suddenly disappear, leaving them full of motivation.
"Please rest assured, my lord, we will definitely cultivate this fairy food with our heart!"
Hao Meng was the first to speak, and the others responded one after another. Lu Bu also smiled after seeing this, and then began to prepare to teach Hao Meng and others how to water the seedlings.
