Chapter Four hundred and sixty-ninth, the top, really top!
After Cao Cao sent away his confidants and generals, he hurried back to his bedroom.
Cao Cao took out the diary from under the pillow, walked to the desk in small steps, and placed it straightly.
The diary of the past few months was either about boats or cement, or fishing or drying nets. To be honest, Cao Cao didn't have high hopes for today's diary.
But just like a person who opens a blind box or draws a card, when he is full of expectations, he will often not produce any good products, but when his mentality is stable or he has not thought about producing good products at all, the result will often be given to him.
Bring surprises.
[In the ninth year of Jian'an, in early June, it was very hot!]
[It’s extremely cold in winter and scorching hot in summer. Today’s weather is becoming more and more extreme...]
"Well... it's really hot recently." Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and then joked: "Those women in the hook bar can't even wear their clothes... Isn't it God's fault that you are an idler in the mainland?
You were living too leisurely here, so you got angry?"
[I really didn’t expect Jingzhou and Jiangdong to be so bold... They actually dared to touch Lao Cao’s butt under his nose... Maybe Lao Cao started to wander again? It seems that vaccinations will continue to be given, this time
Let that guy Fengxiao go for me...]
When Lao Cao saw that, he stared angrily and scolded: "Huh! Those are all vulgar words! It seems that this is how my Xu Chu was taught bad things by you! If you don't dare to come yourself, just send Feng Xiao to come. Look,
I will give both of you a good look!"
[Speaking of war, Pang Tong is worthy of being the best strategist in the world, and he was able to push Lao Cao to this point. Pang Tong, a young phoenix, has already shown his ability to the world, and my Crouching Dragon and Tomb Tiger are also about to do it.
Pull it out and slip away...]
"That Pang Tong is indeed a rare talent in the world, and he is very suitable to Cao's taste. But we actually have two young people here who can compete with him, which is really exciting!"
[In addition to Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Xun, Fazheng, Yang Xiu, etc. are also the top military strategists and strategists in the future...]
Cao Cao grinned and said to himself: "It seems there are more than just two... I didn't expect that our family has so many talents!"
Although he was very happy, Cao Cao was still a little disappointed.
After reading a third of the diary, Lu Yan still has not revealed any reasons for his delay in taking action, or any "secret secrets" that will appear in the future.
Holding back a trace of anxiety in his heart, Cao Cao continued reading,
[The war in the north should be over before winter comes. I hope that Zixiu and my father-in-law can completely eradicate the Xianbei clan... After the grassland is stabilized, as long as there are no mistakes in development, I can completely turn it into a big man in less than ten years.
The back garden...!】
"Huh? How can you, the idle people of mainland China, really eat such a huge grassland?" Cao Cao didn't believe it. In his opinion, if it only took ten years, no one else would be able to completely conquer the grassland!
[The current production of cement is far from meeting my expectations... If you want to build a city, I'm afraid you will have to wait a few more months.]
"cement?"
Lu Yan mentioned it countless times in his previous diary, but rarely mentioned its specific function... so much so that Cao Cao ignored the key points and even forgot its function.
"I remember that Mr. Lu did build a cement factory not long ago... It turns out that this thing can not only pave roads, but can also be used to build cities?!" Cao Cao saw the cement and vaguely understood the source of Lu Yan's confidence in conquering the grassland within ten years.
So, Lao Cao finally paid attention to it: "It seems that I have to go and see for myself next time what the sacredness of cement is."
The war situation in the north was looking very good, and he unexpectedly learned that Lu Yan had a way to conquer the grassland. Cao Cao's mood instantly became more comfortable.
Keep reading,
[When winter comes, some parts of the Yellow River will freeze, so you have to go out early. 】
"Go to war?!" Cao Cao was confused for a moment, and then said with great joy: "You immortal, you are finally willing to save your old Cao!"
Obviously, Cao Cao misunderstood Lu Yan... and he immediately discovered something was wrong, "That's not right. Does your expedition have something to do with the ice and hair on the Yellow River?"
With doubts, Lao Cao continued to look down,
[A man’s journey is the stars and the sea! Although the stars are impossible, the sea is already close at hand!]
"???" Cao Cao was completely confused now. Lu Yan's so-called expedition seemed to be a little different from what he thought!
After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao suddenly had an idea and said: "The sea is so close in front of you? Is it possible that Mr. Lu is going to dispatch the navy?"
[Sorry, I'm a little excited...]
"Sorry, I wanted to hit you!"
[Although guys like Lao Cao don’t say it, I know they still look down on my navy... Haha! It doesn’t matter, I will use practical actions to show them what invincibility is, what loneliness is, and what sex is.
A slap in the face!]
Cao Cao jumped three feet high, pointed at his diary and scolded the street: "Uncle Wori! I am now in dire straits due to enemies on three sides. You Lu Xianren didn't say anything about coming to help, but you still want to slap me in the face? Are we still here?
The most enviable good partner in the world!"
[I’m afraid no one would have thought that Jiangdong and Jingzhou are just one of the targets of my expedition this time...]
【Some evils need to be eradicated from the source.】
The last two sentences ended abruptly, and Cao Cao's mood calmed down for an instant.
"Jingzhou and Jiangdong are not your ultimate goals?" Cao Cao sat down again, thinking about the last sentence: "Some evils need to be eradicated from the source... What kind of evil can make Mr. Lu
Do you value it so much?"
"Ah! Damn it!" Cao Cao felt as if there was a cat living in his heart, scratching his heart and liver.
Damn it!"
Feeling extremely uncomfortable, Cao Cao took out a bottle of Erguotou from a secret compartment in his room and drank three glasses in a row. After feeling the alcohol rush to his forehead, Cao Cao felt a little better.
"Hiccup~~!"
Cao Cao drank too fast, and now the alcohol on his head is a bit strong...
"What is clear is that Mr. Lu will soon lead the navy around the Yangtze River to attack Jingzhou and Jiangdong mainland. I just don't know how long it will take him."
The distance from the Bohai Sea to the Yangtze River is about a thousand kilometers along the coast.
The current speed of the three-masted warship is about 16 to 17 kilometers per hour. Putting aside some accidents, a rough calculation shows that it will take three, four, five, and six days to reach the mouth of the Yangtze River.
The entire trip should only take about half a month, so even if Runan County falls, Xuchang should be able to support Lu Yan to enter the Yangtze River.
But Cao Cao doesn't know this information, so he is a little panic now...
It's just that Cao Cao, who was drunk with alcohol, felt a little dizzy now.
After thinking about it for a while, Lao Cao finally fell down on the bed and muttered vaguely: "Forget it, Mr. Lu must be more thoughtful than me, so I don't want to...go to sleep!"
