Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 337 Coming to Yizhou for Half a Year
Chapter 338 Coming to Yizhou for Half a Year
The news from Yizhou was very bad. Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was not the opponent of Sun Liu's coalition army at all. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took Baishui Pass and Mi Cang Pass respectively in one go, and the army went straight into the hinterland of Hanzhong.

"Strange! After Dong Xi and Zhu Bao helped open Baishui Pass and Micang Pass, they didn't follow Guan Yu and Zhang Fei into Hanzhong, but went to Jiameng Pass. That's Liu Zhang's territory, right?"

Feng Yi waved to Wang Junyi: "After half a year since my mother came to Yizhou, I don't feel strange about what happened now, just report to Luoyang truthfully."

"I'm worried that if we don't do anything else, we will be punished by the young master. We have been in Yizhou for more than half a year, but we haven't done a single decent thing."

"Then what can we do? The situation in Yizhou is changing so weirdly that it's unbelievable. Every time I report, I worry that the young master will think we are making up nonsense! We don't need to take care of the affairs of Hanzhong, since they are going to Jiameng Pass. Let's Follow along to see if there is a chance!"

While writing the information on a small piece of paper, Wang Jun sighed and said, "What opportunity? My mind is in a mess right now, and I don't even know what the specific task is."

"It's really vague. The young master only said that our mission remains the same, but the situation has changed... Let's just take it one step at a time. Fortunately, the young master didn't mean to blame us in his letter last time."

Feng Yi led Wang Jun's team to watch Dong Xi and others in the north, Zhang Ba was in Han'an, Zhou Cheng was in Chengdu, Cao Chong finally decided to let the special operations team stay in Yizhou.

Lao Cao was really in a hurry. After coming to Luoyang, he took a quick look at New Luoyang City. Although his eyes widened in shock like everyone else, he didn't make any other gestures. After a day's rest, he led his army straight to Tongguan.

"I just said that my father-in-law won't let my husband go to the battlefield. Husband, don't be too brave in the future, the battlefield is dangerous after all!" Diao Chan said with a cheerful smile.

Yes, Lao Cao didn't ask Cao Chong to follow him to Tongguan, but said that the summer harvest was coming soon, and he was asked to take charge of the summer harvest and summer planting work in Luoyang. He Ming came to Luoyang and asked him to manage the transfer of materials in Luoyang.

"What is showing off? Your husband is caring about state affairs. Will he speak?"

"Come on, Wen Jiao has already said that you only go to the battlefield because you want to be brave. You don't have to go to Tongguan last time." Zhen Mi chimed in.

"Hmph! Last time, if the young master hadn't arrived in time, Tongguan would have been lost long ago, and Wei Ke was probably beheaded by Ma Chao 3. If that happened, Luoyang might not be in such a mess now!"

"Then stay well in Luoyang this time. Anyway, you just went to Tongguan to show off and earned the title of General Dispute, so just be honest for a few more days."

Cao Chongxin said that it doesn't matter if the two armies are facing each other and the trial stage doesn't matter, Lao Cao will call the young master sooner or later.

Ma Chao was well prepared in Huayin. If he wanted to make a breakthrough, he would go to Hebei and take a detour to Hexi. This was Lao Cao's few choices, but the Guanzhong warlords had already taken precautions.

In history, Lao Cao made a breakthrough by crossing the Hebei River and going around to the north of the Weihe River. This time?Xia Houyuan has not even erected the Pujin pontoon bridge, and the Guanzhong Navy is patrolling the river. His own fleet is the only nearby force that can take Lao Cao across the river.

It’s okay not to go to Guanzhong for the time being. Anyway, the two armies will need a long time to test and consume each other.

"This is the wheat field you said you could try cutting? The ears of wheat are still half green." Cao Chong looked at Liu Jing.

"Young master, you can't wait until the wheat is ripe before harvesting..."

"Don't come here, I don't believe that my wheat-cutting magic weapon clearly says, call people over, bring all the scavengers over, and start harvesting. Take the hourglass and see how long it takes for an acre of land." Cao Chong glared. He glanced.

Liu Jing didn't say: It's not that I don't believe it, I tried it, and your thing doesn't work at all!

Liu Jing came to discuss with Xia Houshang the day before yesterday, and asked him to send the Xinmin who built the city wall back to harvest wheat first, and then come to serve after harvesting the wheat.

Of course Xia Houshang disagreed, the construction period is tight here!
Liu Jing had no choice but to come to Cao Chong again, and said that you planted wheat on a large area last year, and now it is about to be harvested. The wheat harvest period is short and needs to be harvested quickly, and there is a shortage of manpower.

Cao Chong was stunned. Didn't he send you the special tool for cutting wheat, Liaozi? That thing is several times faster than a sickle. Why do you think there are not enough people?
Liu Jing even said that it was not easy to use.

Cao Chong had no choice but to ask him to find a wheat field to try, anyway, the wheat will be harvested soon.

"That's it, hold the handle tightly, throw it to the left, and don't let go of your right hand..."

brush!A large piece of wheat was cut off by the blade and fell into the dustpan behind...

Liu Jing was stunned by the crowd, no, I tried this thing on the grass myself, and it couldn't mow at all!
After Cao Chong taught a farmer to use it, he came to Liu Jing: "Isn't this easy to use? Why do you say it's not easy to use? Take the hourglass and remember the time when you go back and write some in the report."

"Young master! This, what I tried last time, can cut a handful of grass..." Liu Jing explained.

"This thing is specially designed for cutting wheat. It doesn't work well for cutting rice, let alone grass. Think about the principle yourself. I'm too lazy to tell you."

"Oh, by the way, I asked you to distribute these things to Xinmin and teach them how to use them. You haven't done it yet, if the summer harvest is delayed..." Cao Chong looked Liu Jing up and down.

"Young master, my subordinates will leave. For the timing, it would be more accurate to find a few more wheat fields." Liu Jing turned around and ran away.

Xiao Mian, how dare you not believe my master, I am not sure that I can let someone make tens of thousands of looters and send them out?
"You are strong, you can stretch that rope a bit longer." Before leaving, Cao Chong said to Xinmin in the wheat field.

After Cao Chong demonstrated the looting, he went to a few water mills to see that after the wheat was harvested, they had to be ground into flour. This time, it was a matter of how much more food could be earned.

Wheat is cheap now, but flour is more expensive than corn, not to mention coarse grains such as millet, the price difference between them is as high as 1 to [-] percent!Cao Chong had already planned to exchange flour with others for other food, and then make a fortune first. Who made Luoyang not have enough food this year, and Cao Chong also brought back more than [-] captives, so the gap was even bigger.

While Cao Chong was busy with the daily chores in Luoyang, he waited for Lao Cao to call him to Guanzhong, but Lao Cao seemed to have forgotten him. After waiting for two months, he did not see Lao Cao send anyone to call him.

"Young master, there is news from Yizhou, this Liu Bei is really not a good guy!" Cao Tai ran into Cao Chong's study and shouted.

"Last time, didn't you say that Zhou Yu locked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Hanzhong to prevent him? What did he do?"
