During the years of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Xun Yu served as the palace guard of the imperial court.
Normally speaking, the Palace Guarding Order is in charge of the emperor's royal pen and ink, bamboo slips, as well as the "financial use" of the Shangshu Mansion, "sealing clay", etc.
For this reason, Xun Yu had seen many memorials and documents from various places.
Among them, there was a document that reported a strange incident.
At that time, Zhang Jiao, in order to make believers believe that he had magical powers and that Huang Tian would replace the sky, in addition to performing "psychological suggestion" tricks such as "talisman water to cure diseases" and "talisman to drive away evil spirits", he also specially created some
Deeds that are convincing and widely circulated.
For example, he sent a large number of Yellow Turban leaders and Taiping Taoist disciples to local areas to preach the doctrine. The local residents were originally honest farmers, so naturally they did not believe this at first.
But precisely because of a strange incident, the concept of "the yellow sky replaces the blue sky" suddenly became deeply rooted in the hearts of the grassroots.
This strange thing is a stone tablet!
A section of stone tablet grew out of thin air in the fields of countless villages, but there were still words on the stone tablet. As day by day changed, the stone tablets growing out of the ground became longer and longer, and there were more and more words on it.
At the end, the sixteen big characters are clearly visible, which is deafening and enlightening - "The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand, at the age of sixty, the world will be prosperous!"
At this moment, all the farmers were frightened and thought it was God's guidance...
As a result, a large number of farmers began to believe in Taiping Dao and began to believe that Huangtian would replace Cangtian.
Over time, this concept has penetrated into the hearts of every Yellow Turban sergeant, Taiping Taoist, and low-level farmer. It is deeply ingrained, and to this day... it still cannot be shaken!
Xun Yu told Xun You the story.
Xun You listened and nodded repeatedly... What a conspiracy and trick to win people's hearts, with great results!
"What does uncle mean? The 'breaking of the stone monument' led by the Yellow Turban leader has something to do with soybeans..." Xun You continued to ask.
"Exactly!" Xun Yu nodded. "In the past, His Majesty was curious about this incident and sent me to the villages near Sili to investigate.
The local farmers believe in this theory of ghosts and gods, so they dare not touch the stone tablet for fear of attracting 'heavenly punishment'."
"But I sent people to knock down these stone monuments. It is precisely because of this that I saw what was hidden under the stone monuments, and it was also the fundamental reason why they came out of the ground."
At this point, Xun Yu paused, and Xun You widened his eyes, very curious about Xun Yu's next words.
"Uncle, what exactly is under this stone tablet?"
"Beans!"
the power of."
this…
Xun You was still puzzled. "The beans are tiny, but even if they sprout, they can shake the stone monument? Can the stone tablet break the ground? This requires more than a hundred catties of strength?"
"Gongda, you are familiar with the art of war but know nothing about farming."
Xun Yu explained. "After plants growing underground take root and sprout, they will form huge forces when they break out of the ground. Don't underestimate this force. They can also break out of the ground between the cracks in the cliffs.
Become a big tree in the sky!"
"Therefore, it is not surprising that the stone tablet was broken and the so-called 'God's guidance'..."
At this point, Xun Yu raised his head and looked deeply in the direction of "Wei Mansion".
"It's no wonder that 'Yinlin' wants to plant soybeans in the backyard of the Wei Mansion. Presumably he must also have buried stone tablets and stones there. He wants to verify the infinite power of 'Bean Sprouts' and thereby ensure the capture of 300,000 Yellow Turbans...
Foolproof!"
Huo…
A sudden realization.
At this moment, Xun You understood everything.
Sure enough, he is specialized in the art of war, but if he were to focus solely on the art of war, he might never be able to appreciate the magical effects of soybeans and bean sprouts in this life.
"Uncle, so to speak... The reason why Yinlin wanted to transport the wooden basin to Duke Cao... was also for..." Xun You blurted out subconsciously.
"Shh..." Unexpectedly, Xun Yu directly raised his index finger to signal Xun You not to talk too much, let alone speak loudly.
Xun You understood immediately...
The former Yellow Turban leader could use this stone monument to win over people's hearts and embed the scene of "Yellow Sky Saves the World" in the hearts of the farmers at the bottom!
Similarly, the current Cao Cao can also use this method to break the inherent concepts in the hearts of the Yellow Turban Army. Huang Tian can save the world, and Cao Cao can also save the world. As long as these bean sprouts can hold up the stone monument, who can save the world? Who can save the world!
certainly…
The reason why Lu Yu did not write a letter to speak frankly, but instead wanted to use the hints of "soybeans" and "barrels" to let Cao Cao figure it out on his own, is because... In this move, Lu Yu must be absolutely secretive and must not leak the news.
Only in this way will it become natural for the next stone tablet to be broken and the sky to guide us to capture the hearts of 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves and let it take its course!
Really, the show is about to begin.
"Uncle, my nephew thinks that our Yanzhou and Mr. Cao's place are getting more and more interesting!" Xun You said with a smile.
"Haha..." Xun Yu still had a wisp of beard. "With Yinlin here, it is indeed much more interesting..."
"Let's go...go to the backyard of the Wei Mansion and have a look. It's not all preserved. The stone tablets planted by Yinlin have been broken out of the ground."
Speaking of this, Xun Yu's eyes flashed with an intriguing light.
Just like what Yuedan Ping said about Yinlin in the past - "Those who win Yinlin can end the troubled times and dominate the world."
Haha, Cao Cao is really lucky.
They Yingchuan talents are quite lucky, right?
At least, I am not an enemy of Yinlin! It is indeed a blessing.
…
…
Frontline military camp, Chinese army tent.
"Pattering..."
The sound of watering continued to sound, and Cao Cao and the generals went to inspect the military camp. In the entire Chinese army tent, only Cao Xiu was left.
He is watering...watering this "potted plant" twice a day without interruption.
Having said that, even for women, he can't be as caring as "twice a day"!
"well…"
Looking at the potted plants, Cao Xiu shook his head. He wanted to cry.
Seeing the knights from the same battalion perform meritorious service on the battlefield, cutting off the heads of moth thieves one after another, and all the captains of ten under him had been promoted to centurions, Cao Xiu felt like crying without tears.
How long will it take for these days to end?
For a moment, Cao Xiu really wanted to lift the wooden basin and smash the "potted plant" to pieces... He came from thousands of miles away from Wu to join his uncle Cao Cao. He didn't come to raise flowers or beans. He wanted to make contributions and shine on his family.
!
But, in the end, reason defeated impulse... The "potted plant" tortured him thousands of times, but he still had to treat this potted plant like his first love.
"Lu Yu, Lu Yu, I really believed your evil..."
He muttered a complaint.
at this time.
Boom, boom...a slight sound came to Cao Xiu's ears.
The sound is crisp and clear...
Cao Xiu looked around at the Chinese army's tent. Apart from him, the "gardener", was there anyone anywhere?
"Click, click."
Two more slight thoughts, darling... Could it be that you have seen a ghost?
Cao Xiu tried his best to calm down, his eyes followed the continuous and subtle "click" sound...
It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance...
I saw that the "soil" in the original potted plant seemed to be pushed up by something, and what followed... was... a stone, no! To be precise, it should be a corner of a stone tablet that broke out of the ground.
There is a sense of sight that "the stone monument has just revealed its sharp corners"...
After all, Cao Xiu, who has always been brave, is completely confused at this moment. What's going on... the stone tablet? It came out of the earthen basin? It's like a ghost, it's really like a ghost...
The ancients worshiped ghosts and gods, and the stone tablet was broken. Is there anything more mysterious than this?
With a "whoosh...", Cao Xiu quickly escaped from the Chinese army's tent.
While running, he asked the soldiers around the tent. "Where is Mr. Cao? Where is Mr. Cao... There is a ghost in the wooden basin!"
