Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 383 The Crazy Scalper

"Ah-"

The north wind howled and the trees were sparse. Liu He, who was patrolling the bank of the Zhangshui River, suddenly sneezed loudly like a thunderstorm, and almost fell headlong into the newly dug channel.

Han Long was taken aback, stepped forward to support Liu He, and asked, "My lord, did you catch a cold?"

"No problem!" Liu He waved his hand, wiped his nose and said with a smile, "Someone probably misses me!"

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "It must be that Mrs. Zun missed her."

Liu He waved his hands and smiled, but Zhen Dao's figure first appeared in his mind, with a delicate and sly face.

A few months ago, a letter came from the family, saying that Zhen Dao was pregnant, which made Liu He full of expectations. After all, he was also a single dog in another world, and he had never experienced the feeling of being a father for the first time.

Speaking of which, none of the three wives showed favoritism, but Zhen Dao, the youngest, got pregnant first. This surprised Liu He, and it probably had something to do with her skills!

Just as my thoughts were flying, I heard someone yelling in the distance: "Hey, who's cow ran away and won't you take it away?"

Looking back, I saw a frightened cow rushing towards the river, overturning two carts pulling dirt, and the people who were building the river ran away in fright.

Liu He told Zhu Ling, "Take a few people to stop him. Don't hurt people or cattle."

Zhu Ling called a few soldiers to help, while Liu He continued to stand on a high place to observe the surrounding terrain, and listened to Zheng Hun's introduction of the water transportation plan from Hejian to Qingzhou.

After Zhao Qi persuaded them to make peace, Liu He and Gongsun Zan temporarily stopped their troops, and ordered all the ministries to rest their troops and horses to calm people's hearts. It was the time of the autumn harvest, so that the people could harvest the crops with peace of mind.

One month later, Wang Lang persuaded Kong Rong to surrender and take Beihai. Taishi Ci led a thousand soldiers to Donglai. The prefect of Donglai had known Taishi Ci's name for a long time. Now he worshiped the general under Liu He and took the initiative to open the city and surrender. In Qingzhou, only Jinan Kingdom was still occupied by Gongsun Zan.

Last month, Sun Qian also returned from Chang'an, along with Situ Wangyun's nephew Wang Ling. It turned out that after the Xiliang army entered Chang'an, they were afraid that Hongnong and Hedong would intercept them, so they had to detour north and turn from Xihe. When we arrived at Bingzhou, we turned around and came to Jizhou.

When Sun Qian came, he also brought a large seal, which was the seal of the former general. It turned out that after Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, he worshiped Lv Bu as a general. It happened that Sun Qian entered the palace to meet the emperor. Wang Yun was very happy, and Liu He was also the Han clan. Dear, I recommended him as a former general.

The front, rear, left, and right generals are ranked as Shangqing, only under General Wei. They are quite different from the previous miscellaneous generals. They have the power to open government offices and manage affairs. Officials, set subordinate officials.

In fact, Wang Yun wanted to call Cai Yong and Liu Yu to Beijing to assist the emperor, but before the edict was issued, the Xiliang army counterattacked Chang'an. They were defeated and died. Sun Qian, Wang Ling and others took advantage of the chaos and fled.

Wang Ling was a famous general in the later period of the Three Kingdoms period, and his strength should be comparable to Guo Huai. At this time, he was only in his early twenties, and Liu He ordered him to be the Sima of the former general's mansion, and train with Wen Chou.

Recently, the truce was quiet and the autumn harvest was coming to an end, so they took Cheng Yu and others to inspect the water transportation that had started in various places. The planning of the entire water transportation route was in charge of Zheng Hun and Xu Miao.

At present, the entire Jizhou is divided into three sections. The Zhen family is responsible for it from Yishui to Hutuo River, the Bolingcui family is responsible for it from Hutuo River to Zhanghe, and the sections from Hejian to Yecheng are contracted to several merchants from other places.

The current section is in charge of Yuan Shu's son-in-law Huang Yi. Except for the coolies who dig the river and move the sand and soil, the main masons are recruited from Yanzhou.

Zheng Hun greatly appreciated Liu He's plan of subcontracting in stages. The government only needs to send people to monitor the quality of the river, and after the opening of the water transport, each of them will take care of it for ten years, and no one will be lazy. .

On the contrary, in order to compete, each family has recruited the best local craftsmen, and strives to make the river strong and perfect. This is not only related to future cooperation, but also to everyone's face.

At the beginning of last month alone, there were more than ten bridge drawings sent by various companies, with different shapes, and even a sense of competition, which is amazing.

"No, that cow is crazy!" At this moment, Cheng Yu suddenly screamed.

Liu He looked, and saw that the yellow ox was running wildly on the bank, pushing the dug up sand into the river with its horns, and a family was yelling and chasing it from afar.

The cow didn't know what frightened it, and rushed towards the crowd. Zhu Ling and his soldiers couldn't stop it, and they couldn't hurt the cow, so they could only let everyone temporarily hide behind the stone pestle.

Along the way, smoke and dust were flying, and they rushed to a crossing where a bridge was going to be built, stopped, and directed at the crowd in the river, with the horns on the top of their heads forward, and let out a low growl.

The road was about to be opened here, so a Taoist priest was invited to open the altar, and a big red cloth was erected in the center of the river, fluttering in the wind, making a loud noise.

Seeing this scene, Liu He quickly told Han Long, "Let them remove the red cloth immediately."

Han Long was startled, although he didn't understand why, he still ran away.

At this time, the crowd on the shore was in chaos, shouting loudly, but the wild bull was completely irritated, with red eyes and long saliva flowing from the corners of its mouth, and could not hear the call at all.

Before Han Long ran to the river, the cow was already pawing its front hooves, trying to rush forward. The crowd was in a mess, and they all rushed to escape to both sides. Several people were squeezed to the ground, in a panic.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Liu He had no choice but to order: "If it doesn't work, kill the cow."

The soldiers were about to deliver the order, when they suddenly saw a man rushing out of the river, the man was tall and strong, like a mountain of earth, his arms were as thick as the thighs of ordinary people, he staggered towards the cow.

There was a sound of exclamation in the crowd, shouting one after another, but the strong man was happy and unafraid, his strong body seemed to be swaying from side to side, but his feet were very nimble, he jumped up the steps by the river, opened his hands and let out a roar , Going to grab the horns of the bull's head.

"This person is dying? Hiss—" Cheng Yu was shocked, and accidentally tore off a few beards.

Liu He was also shocked. Facing such a violent big ox, even if Zhang Fei came, he might not dare to charge forward with his bare hands. This man is so bold.

For a moment, everyone couldn't tell whether this person was brave or a fearless fool.

Zhu Ling led the soldiers to stop shouting loudly in the distance, but it was too late. Seeing someone rushing, the cow let out a low growl and spread its hooves to meet it.

boom--

The man's movements were not slow, and he grabbed the horn of the ox accurately, but the force of this charge was so great that he was pushed back by the big ox.

There were two grooves half a foot deep left in the sand, and the man's legs were like iron pillars, firmly supporting the cattle, and he walked a foot away before stepping on a pile of sand to stop.

moo—

The ox's tail stood up high, and it kept beating, its four hooves exerted force, and the sand flew up, but it couldn't move any further.

"I rely on-"

Liu He yelled in shock and was dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, the man stopped the scalper abruptly.
