Chapter 39: 300,000 mouths with a criminal record!
Chenliu County, Wei Mansion.
It was still the backyard, still the same square acre of land. More than ten days had passed, and there was already movement in the soybeans planted by Lu Yu.
The stone tablet broke through the ground, shocking all the servants in the entire Wei Mansion.
Who would have thought that when a small soybean meets water, the bean sprouts that grow can lift dozens of kilograms of rocks.
"Brother Yu? Is this what gave you the power to grow those beans?" Cai Zhaoji looked at the rocks in front of her that were pushed out by the bean sprouts, and her face was full of surprise...
This one is so powerful!
"Sister Zhaoji, that's why I say that it is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of miles of books. What you read on paper will eventually make you feel shallow. You must know that you must practice it!"
Lu Yu blinked. "The book only records that soybeans will turn into bean sprouts when they meet water, but they don't explain in detail the huge power contained in these bean sprouts."
Lu Yu explained in detail...
The ancients all liked to study hard and study hard... Even the world-famous talented woman Cai Zhaoji was no exception.
Lu Yu did this "bean sprout experiment", firstly, to ensure that the "little tricks" on the front line were foolproof, and secondly, he also wanted to tell Sister Zhaoji a truth so that her talents could be "used" more!
"I really want to see how much is hidden in your head." Cai Zhaoji came out of her frightened mood and touched Lu Yu's head.
Lu Yu didn't dodge either. Ever since she was little, Sister Zhao Ji has been like this, always touching her head and killing her. She's used to it...
Having said that, when he was "ignorant" when he was a child, Lu Yu often touched Sister Zhao Ji's... Ahem, now that I think about it, I actually feel a little nostalgic for her!
at this time.
"Miss Cai Yan, Mr. Lu Yu, it seems that our uncle and nephew came at the wrong time!"
The voice of a middle-aged man came...
Lu Yu didn't even need to look for the sound. When he smelled the smell of "Liu Shen Dew" in the distance, he could already conclude that Xun Yu was here. The smell was still so strong...
"It turns out they are two Mr. Xuns." Cai Zhaoji took the lead and bowed...
Xun Yu and Xun You returned the salute, then looked at the dozen or so rocks that had broken out of the ground.
"It seems...it's done."
Hey, he saw through it.
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and saw that Xun Yu was indeed a smart man and saw through his little trick at a glance.
However, Lu Yu has always been in awe of the ancients.
If he hadn't known about this historical process, Lu Yu would not have thought that he could be as wise and intelligent as Xun Yu and Xun You!
"The two gentlemen are here today, probably not to inquire about the groundbreaking of the stone tablet, right?"
"Then...but for the three hundred thousand Yellow Turbans to surrender?"
Lu Yu took the initiative to speak...
"Exactly!" Xun Yu nodded, his thoughts could not escape Yinlin's eyes after all.
"Mr. Xun, are you worried? The three hundred thousand moth thieves won't surrender?" Lu Yu then asked...
"No, I'm just worried about what will happen after they surrender?" Xun Yu's face became much more serious when he mentioned this question. "With this stone monument descending from the sky, three hundred thousand moth thieves will surely surrender..."
"But what happens after they surrender? How will the 300,000 Yellow Turban troops be relocated?"
"These are 300,000 mouths. Moreover, there are 300,000 mouths that have 'criminal records' and have 'rebeled'. Not to mention, the food they consume every day is an astronomical figure. Can the officials and people of Yanzhou trust these thieves?"
?”
Smart people don't like to talk in roundabout ways. Xun Yu came with questions, so he simply got straight to the point and threw out all the questions.
Of course, even Cao Cao has not thought about the placement of the Yellow Turban Army yet...
However, Xun Yu was so sharp, he often had to count the next three steps after taking one step!
You know, since ancient times, arranging surrender troops has always been a big problem.
To put it mildly, this is 300,000 people. To put it more tactfully, this is 300,000 people who need basic necessities of life, food, clothing, shelter...and there are also time bombs that may detonate at any time.
If it is not handled well, Yanzhou, which is not rich in the first place, will be depleted of food, and even... a mutiny may occur within Yanzhou.
Losing the city and the county and losing the troops, the gain is not worth the loss!
This is why, in ancient times, many famous generals liked to kill and surrender.
The so-called killing and surrender is ominous, but under the premise of food, supplies, people's support, and stability, even a famous general has no choice.
"Master Lu Yu, what's your opinion on the placement of these three hundred thousand Yellow Turbans?"
Xun Yu's eyes narrowed and his tone was extremely serious, while Xun You pricked up his ears, looking forward to the resettlement method proposed by "Yinlin".
…
…
Yanzhou, in a blink of an eye, a full ten days had passed since the "potted plants" arrived at Cao Jun's camp.
In the past ten days, the officers and soldiers suddenly slowed down their "guerrilla" and "harassment" against the moth thieves. This made the 300,000 moth thieves who were almost on the verge of collapse let out a long breath and finally had a good sleep.
Similarly, they have also slowed down the pace of withdrawing from Yanzhou. They are thinking about waiting and seeing whether there will be a turn for the better.
However, within ten days, there was no improvement...but a lot of strange things happened.
Five or six days ago, some Yellow Turban sergeants went to the farm as usual to "borrow" some grain from local farmers. They said it was "borrowing"... but it was actually a robbery in a different situation.
Everything was going smoothly at first, but in the process of leaving the village, I suddenly tripped over a protruding stone at the entrance of the village.
Originally this was a normal thing, but the strange thing was that there were no rocks here.
The Yellow Turban Sergeant often comes here, and he knows very clearly where there are stones, where there is wood, and where there are flowers and plants, not to mention a stone protruding in the middle of the road at the entrance of the village.
Even so, the Yellow Turban Sergeant didn't care.
But the next day, things suddenly changed. When the Yellow Turban sergeant came to the village again to "borrow" food, they found that the stone from yesterday had emerged from the ground.
So, these sergeants hurried back to report to their leader. The Yellow Turban leader thought it was a coincidence and still didn't care.
It wasn't until the third day that the Yellow Turban sergeant made a special trip to the village entrance and found that the stone was once again higher and there were words on it.
Of course, the Yellow Turban sergeant didn’t understand the words on it, so he ran back and reported it to the leader again...
This is incredible!
Originally, a stone appearing on the road was nothing special, but... now, the key question is, the stone actually grows on its own, and the strangest thing is, there are words on it?
The Yellow Turban leader took a large number of Yellow Turban sergeants to find out...
Sure enough, the stone grew out of a crack in the ground, and the "word" on it was familiar to the leader. It was "天". The sky was dead, and Huang Tian was standing as the word "天".
This is mysterious...
More and more Yellow Turban soldiers and their family members heard about this strange incident and came to the village to watch. The Yellow Turban Army believed in the "Taiping of Peace" and believed deeply in the theory of ghosts and gods. Who dared to touch this stone?
?
Some of the Yellow Turban leaders paused and pondered, as if they had thought of something. In the past... when they joined the Yellow Turban Army, there was an inscription rising from the ground at the entrance of the village. It said - Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is standing, aged Jiazi, the world is under heaven.
Good luck!
Could it be...
Is the stone breaking through the ground now a new guidance from God?
In order to find out this matter, a large number of Yellow Turban sergeants were guarding the village. They were all waiting to see if the stone would grow again the next day.
That night, the entire three hundred thousand Yellow Turban soldiers were in trouble all night long.
