In the early morning, the first thing Lu Bu did after getting up was to find something to eat. After finally eating to his satisfaction at Yan's place, he exercised properly and then went to the courtyard to prepare for the third lottery. .
For this lottery, the first thing Lu Bu did not do was read a book or go to the farmland.
With his consciousness immersed in his mind, Lu Bu immediately spoke out boldly.
"System, I want to draw a lottery!"
Soon, the sound of the system came out.
"Okay, the lottery system has been started. I wish the host good luck~"
Lu Bu ignored what the system said and immediately started the lottery in a serious manner. The light curtain suddenly accelerated, and Lu Bu suddenly thought silently in his heart.
"I, Lu Fengxian, am willing to exchange ten years of life for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, two destined sons. I must produce something good!"
Immediately, Lu Bu opened his eyes.
"stop!"
As Lu Bu finished speaking, the prize soon appeared in front of Lu Bu. This time Lu Bu drew a blueprint. Soon, the description of the blueprint began to appear, and the sound of the system came again.
“Congratulations to the host for winning the grand prize, an improved version of the waterwheel~
Host, keep up your hard work, read hard, and try to draw another lottery as soon as possible~"
Lu Bu had no intention of listening to the system's murmurings. At this moment, he just felt that he was unlucky. Although his farmland needed water for irrigation, the waterways and canals had been almost dug. Whether or not the water tanker was present had a big impact on him. Difference?
Lu Bu wanted to cry, but now that the prizes were out, he had no choice but to accept this fact that he thought was cruel.
Lu Bu's heart still hurt. As for why it was like this, it was just because at this time, there was a waterwheel!
Moreover, this waterwheel was a rollover made by Ling Emperor Liu Hong, who ordered Bi Lan to build it. It was also the first stage waterwheel. It also had basic devices such as axles and groove plates.
Although the efficiency of this waterwheel is low and it requires human assistance, it is not possible after all. And his waterwheel drawings are not even the most advanced, but a waterwheel in the second stage of the development stage of the waterwheel. The wheel axle was significantly improved, which was the barrel cart used in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
However, the efficiency has been significantly improved, it can achieve low water and high delivery, and directly frees up manpower. This is indeed of great help.
What can Lu Bu do now? He has taken out all this, and can only use it to benefit the people of the world.
"It seems that we must not draw in the morning in the future. The first time we drew in the evening, we directly got hybrid rice. In the future, if we collect the reading value, we must draw in the evening!"
Lu Bu made up his mind and slowly withdrew. At this time, he also lost the interest in reading, and spending ten o'clock reading was worth the compulsory reading, so he couldn't bear it. In the end, he had to get up and go to the farmland to see Hao Meng's progress. , and let people build this waterwheel later.
Lu Bu was unsatisfied here, and Cao Cao in Yanzhou was even more unsatisfied. It could be said that he was directly angry, and he looked very angry.
"A common man! A common man! How dare Lu Bu, a common man, attack Yuzhou, which I want to capture next! And let him capture both Pei and Chen.
Zhongde, tell me, why? Why was there no news in advance? Now that Lu Bu has occupied the two counties, there is no news from the scouts? "
Cao Cao was really angry. Originally, he had prepared to manage Yanzhou well and restore his strength. He would visit Yuzhou after the autumn harvest or next year, but now he was beaten to the throne by Lu Bu.
Regarding Xuzhou, they had analyzed it before. Unless Lu Bu captured Yuzhou, there would be no way out. However, now it's better. Not only did Lu Bu do it, he also did it faster than Cao Cao. The most important thing is that Cao Cao was still leading the army. The former general, Le Jin, how could Cao Cao bear this.
As for why he told Cheng Yu, because Cheng Yu was in charge of intelligence, Cao Cao pointed his finger directly at Cheng Yu.
Although Cao Cao was very angry, his vigilance towards Lu Bu had gradually increased and reached its highest level. It was true that Lu Bu had broken the situation in such a clever time. Cao Cao did not believe that Lu Bu was really the brainless common man before.
Cheng Yu felt extremely bitter after listening to Cao Cao's words. Their information, let alone Yuzhou outside Yanzhou, even within Yanzhou, was not fully grasped.
However, Cheng Yu couldn't say these words at this time, because who put him in charge of this? If you don't solve the problem after discovering it, can you still blame Cao Cao, the boss?
"My lord, I am guilty, please lord punish me."
Cao Cao felt a pain in his head when he heard Cheng Yu's somewhat bachelorish words. Originally, he just wanted to scold Cheng Yu, but now he couldn't make sense if he didn't punish Cheng Yu.
But at this moment, Xun Yu's words came, which made Cao Cao's anger lessen.
"My lord, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."
After taking a few breaths, Cao Cao spoke.
"Wen Ruo, just tell me if you have anything to say, and Cao will listen to you."
Xun Yu glanced at Cao Cao and then spoke.
"Lord, no wonder Zhongde is responsible for this. We have very few scouts in Yuzhou, and now we are short of money and food. Not to mention Yuzhou, even in Yanzhou, there are much fewer than before. We can't send back the battle report for a while. , which is actually normal.
Moreover, Zhongde has been preparing food and fodder for the army today. The previous Lord had some of the food and fodder Liu Xuande needed for his expedition to Xuzhou, and most of the food and fodder used by the army now were all found by Zhongde. During this period, Zhongde had no time. , taking into account the affairs of Yuzhou.
And Lu Bu's sudden attack on Yuzhou was unexpected and unexpected. It was only because we were not as skilled as others. "
After Xun Yu finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head. After all, what he said next was already a bit disrespectful.
After hearing this, Cao Cao fell into silence. After a while, he suddenly laughed.
"Zhongde, this is indeed what Wen Ruo said. I don't blame you, I just blame Lu Bu for choosing the time too cleverly.
Instead, Cao Cao has to thank Zhongde. If Zhongde hadn't raised food and grass, the army would have been unable to support it. Please accept Cao's thanks. "
When Cheng Yu heard this, he was immediately moved and helped Cao Cao up.
"My lord, you can't do this. Yu will definitely strengthen the scout arrangements in the future.
As for the matter of food and grass, this is what I should do. It is my duty to do my best to help the lord. "
Cheng Yu was not only moved by Cao Cao, but also grateful to Xun Yu.
Cao Cao comforted Cheng Yu for a while, and then looked at Xun Yu.
"Wen Ruo, now that you have returned, how will you respond to your trip to Jizhou this time? How much food can you support me in Yanzhou?"
Cao Cao is very concerned about this issue, because it will affect Yanzhou and Cao Cao. How to act next can be said to be crucial.
