Standing on the river bank, Xu Mu looked up and looked at the sunshine above his head, only to feel his body burning hot.
"Lord, a letter from Zuo Shiren."
Xu Mu took it, opened it and glanced at it a few times. As expected, Zuo Shiren mentioned in his letter the possibility of a severe drought and asked him to be careful. In his words, he also expressed tactfully that he was scolding his mother for being unkind to God.
Putting the letter away, Xu Mu squatted down and fished for a few times in the river. He found that the line of the monument on the river bank had dropped by several knots.
There are dead fish floating in the river.
"Generally speaking, there will be rain before a severe drought. But the previous rain should be countless." Dongfang Jing's face was full of worry.
"This God is a little unreasonable."
The Great Alliance is about to conquer the Demon Queen. After collecting food, they will unite the world and attack Cangzhou. It's good now. There are signs one after another that seem to indicate that a severe drought is coming in the Xiangjiang area.
Moreover, if a severe drought does occur, water-thirsty states like Northwest Liangdi will probably suffer as well.
"Bolie, has the order been passed on?"
Dongfang Jing nodded, "It's passed. According to the Lord's wishes, all states have begun to dig wells. The most important thing is the rice fields, which are the basis of our survival in Xishu. The teacher's side has also begun to harvest rice. Come again. He wrote the letter and said, 'If I make a mistake, I will bear the responsibility alone.'"
"How could I give it up?" Xu Mu shook his head. To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Jia Zhou's plan. He would have done it just as well.
So what if you subtract 30%, but if you do nothing. The real big problem will be when the rice fields are dry to death.
But as long as the grain is harvested, there won't be any big problems. The rest just needs to store water and prevent and control the plague after drought.
But the only thing that made Xu Mu feel unhappy was the meeting of the alliance.
"Bo Lie, as you said, God is really unreasonable." Xu Mu sighed. Droughts and floods usually occur in summer, but now they are extremely strange.
"My lord, there is another happy event."
"What."
"Wei Chun, someone just sent us three wooden luan."
"really!"
Dongfang Jing smiled and said, "My lord, can I still lie to you?"
Xu Mu couldn't care anymore and hurried to the city.
Sure enough, three wooden Luan sent by Wei Chun were found in the city's arsenal. It was really a wise choice for him to keep this sick young master of the Wei family.
"My lord, how do you use this?"
"Use the opportunity to glide from a high place to spy on the enemy city."
This kind of thing had already been done by Gongshuban during the Warring States Period in parallel time and space.
"If this is the case, Yu Wen's side seems to be in greatest need."
Yu Wen was defending in Yucheng City, but at Xinyue Pass, the key enemy situation could not be detected.
Xu Mu thought for a while and shook his head, "It cannot be exposed for the time being. I think it will be of great use when the alliance is formed."
The principle of gliding is very simple. If it were exposed, I guess the Demon Queen would be able to figure it out very quickly.
"However, you and I can find a place to try it out first."
According to Xu Mu's request, the wooden luan made by Wei Chun was only about one foot in length. Due to the various conditions, it could only carry one person. If there are too many, I'm afraid there will be problems with bearing the weight.
Moreover, landing after gliding is also extremely dangerous. If the operation is careless, it is very likely that both the person and the Mulan will crash together.
This is the limitation of the times. Wei Chun is already incredible to be able to make Muluan like this.
Standing on the top of the mountain, after hesitating for a long time, Xu Mu decided to try it himself.
"My lord, please don't try it yourself. I'll look for someone with a smaller body on your lord's behalf." Dongfang Jing hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Bolie, there's no need to be like this -"
"General Tiger, hold me down, my lord."
Si Hu was stunned.
"General Tiger, my lord is about to jump off the cliff!"
Si Hu burst into tears and burst into tears in the mountain wind. He hurried over and hugged Xu Mu tightly.
"Brother Mu, why can't you think about it? As soon as you leave, I, Sihu, will give the white-haired man to the black-haired man again. The worst is, I won't need my monthly salary in the future, and I will give you my green turban."
"Get lost." Xu Mu was speechless. In the end, I still didn’t insist anymore. He understood that Dongfang Jing was afraid that he would be in danger.
"My lord is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the soul of Western Shu, and the hope of millions of people! Please, lord, don't take such risks." Dongfang Jing was so frightened that his body trembled.
"Bo Lie... don't be angry." Xu Mu hurriedly walked back, calmly trying to coax the little strategist.
"Whether it's a battle or a trial of Muluan, my lord needs to remember that the two princesses, the teacher and me, Yu Wen, Chai Zong, Lu Xiu, Chen Zhong and Dou Tong... we are here because of my lord. We are together. If something unexpected happens to my lord and my young lord is still in his infancy, the six states of Western Shu will turn into clouds and smoke."
Listen, Xu Mu felt uncomfortable.
"Lord, please promise me not to do these things in the future."
"Bolie, I know, I know."
Dongfang Jing breathed out, turned around, and ordered the guards next to him. Not long after, a smaller soldier was invited.
The young soldier came over, saluted, and without any hesitation, he put on his velvet robe and tied Muluan's animal belt as required.
"If he unfortunately dies, I promise him that his family will have some compensation. In these six states of Western Shu, there are many people who are willing to die for the lord. It is not cruel, but we all understand that in this huge world, Only my lord can lead us to establish a new dynasty and bring peace to the world."
"Brother Mu, if you jumped just now, I would jump after you." Si Hu bulged his eyes.
Xu Mu reached out and slapped Si Hu on the shoulder.
"Even if you jump, you won't even jump. By the way, Si Hu, you just said that you don't want the monthly salary?"
Si Hu ran away in a hurry.
Xu Mu smiled and personally pushed Dongfang Jing's wooden wheel cart to the edge of the cliff. The two of them sat and stood up and began to watch carefully. The little soldier who was testing the wooden luan was about to rise above the sky. In this era, like a flying bird, mankind will begin its first round of soaring into the sky.
"Lord, fly, fly."
Under the hot sky, the little soldier really took off while gliding under the wooden luan. Follow the cliff, spread your wings and fly.
With only the force of gravity and wind, it disappeared like a black spot in the blink of an eye.
"When spying on an enemy city, such as this kind of wooden luan, you have to calculate the distance. Otherwise, you may be in great danger when you set foot." Dongfang Jing looked serious.
Wood Luan is an unpowered flying object. Not only the distance, but also the wind direction, mountain topography, etc. must be estimated.
In this way, the mission of spying on the enemy city can be completed.
"The gliding time is too short and needs to be improved." Xu Mu frowned.
Strive for excellence, just like the white-armored cavalry. Only in this way can you unleash greater potential in war.
"Brother Mu, why is it getting hotter and hotter? The leaves on the mountain are all wrinkled." Si Hu suddenly ran back and kept muttering.
This sentence made Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing feel worried for a moment.
