I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

Li Shimin likes to read. He has read all about Cao Cao's deeds and books, and he keeps them in his heart.

Of course, Li Shimin's evaluation of Cao Cao is not high, and Cao Xiong, who is familiar with history, knows this.

What is "the wisdom of one general is more than enough." What is "the talent of ten thousand vehicles is not enough."

All from Li Shimin's comments.

Li Shimin also studied Cao Cao over and over again, to compare his own troops to fight...so as to find out the shortcomings.

Of course!

The contemplation of Cao Cao led Li Shimin to have a profound research and understanding of the "Local Chronicles" of the Central Plains and the North during the Three Kingdoms period.

As early as the Jin Dynasty, the "Local Chronicles" of the Wei Dynasty was actually compiled.

Although during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a large number of documents were lost...

But this does not affect it at all. During the Three Kingdoms period, many "local chronicles" in the north and the Central Plains recorded a major event-natural disasters and droughts!

From September of the 14th year of Jian'an to August of the 15th year of Jian'an, for a full eleven months, Cao Cao's territory, the Central Plains encountered a fatal disaster-drought!

This is simply more terrifying than the water of the Yellow River bursting its embankment!

You know, drought means no rain;

If there is no rain, there will be no water...the crops will be dry;

When the crops are dry, there is no harvest;

If there is no harvest, you will not be able to pay taxes...you will be hungry, you will be angry...you will rebel!

The thoughts of the common people are actually very easy to understand. Why do we have to work so hard for a year...and finally have no harvest, and we still have to hand over food to you officials and lords?

Let you eat delicacies from mountains and seas?The only remaining water source... is also prior to them!

With the voices of complaints and incitement, even at this period in history, quite a few riots broke out in Cao Cao's territory!

of course.

During this period, Cao Cao chose to stick to the walled city...to recuperate.

This is how Liu Yu became bigger!

Otherwise, Cao Cao will definitely not sit idly by when Liu Yu enters Shu.

Of course, this disaster came and went quickly...

On the third day of August in the 15th year of Jian'an, a heavy rain... solved this disaster.

Cao Cao also wrote an inscription for this... "Stepping out of Xiamen Xingyan"

One of the lines: Clouds travel in rain, surpass Jiujiang Zhigao... It's quite famous...

Of course Cao Xiong didn't know about this, who would be free to study the local chronicles of the Three Kingdoms period... even the lecturers in the lecture halls of hundreds of schools can't do this!

He didn't know, there is really a big idler... who has studied this thing.

still an emperor...

Li Shimin told Liu Yu the reason here in detail.

Cao Xiong was dumbfounded... Li Shimin is really a wonder!

However, this heavy rain is coming!

Cao Xiong has a way to get rid of the name of the blame man.

"Didn't you say that the chief culprit of the drought is Wei Shizi Cao Xiong?" Cao Xiong smiled slightly. "My son will pray for rain for you!"

……

……

On the second day, a group of generals went to ask Cao Xiong to mount his horse.

With my current foot strength, I will be able to rush to Yecheng in half a month...

Needless to say, Cao Cao misses Cao Xiong.

During this period, the cities and towns along the way received orders... to give Cao Xiong's convoy the best supplies...

But... an accident happened.

Cao Xiong is not leaving!

Not only did he not leave, but Cao Xiong also set up an altar, prepared sacrifices...buy a mahogany sword...a sense of sight that he wants to be tough with God!

……

Chapter 1236 This credit!Gotta give it to Cao Lin

Cao Xiong's behavior surprised everyone.

"Lang Jun? Why didn't you leave?" Ma Yunlu couldn't help asking.

"Lang Jun... Here in the Central Plains, there has been a long drought and no dew. After all, they are all refugees and thieves... Should we leave first?" Sun Shangxiang also looked concerned.

"Everyone..." Cao Xiong looked solemn. "This son has important things to do, and it must be in the Central Plains!"

Well?big deal?

Everyone was curious, Xu Yi couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty? What's the big deal?"

Cao Xiong raised his hand and smiled slightly: "My son wants rain!"

Uh... please?Beg...for rain?

Before everyone could react, Cao Xiong had strode away...

Sun Shangxiang, Ma Yunlu, Sima Yi, Cao Lin, and Zhao Yun all frowned.

These people are not as simple-minded as Xu Yi and Dianman.

Still fantasizing about rain?

Especially Sima Yi, he has come into contact with quack magicians praying for rain, and he knows even more that the so-called praying for rain, praying for rain...that is bullshit, Chiguoguo bullshit.

Cao Lin couldn't bear to be the first to catch up.

"Fifth brother...you can't ask for rain!"

He has also heard many words about Cao Xiong from the people's mouths.

It is precisely because of this that he wants to persuade...

"Brother Cao Lin, look, in this severe drought, the common people are struggling to live, and the crops are not harvested."

As Cao Xiong walked outside, he preached in 100 years: "If this continues, the suffering of the people will be secondary! The key is your fifth brother's reputation, I'm afraid it will fall into it."

Speaking of this, Cao Xiong still walked out of the government office of the prefect's mansion in Xuchang City...

"What's more, there are still people making rumors and making troubles. Their intention is to shake the foundation of Wei!"

"That won't work either!" Cao Lin directly blocked Cao Xiong's way. "Fifth brother, no matter what you say? You can't scare me. How can you ask for rain? Not to mention you, even if you gather all the Taoists in the world, you can't ask for rain."

Cao Lin paused for a moment, and his face became more dignified.

"Nowadays, although it has affected your reputation... But father is an enlightened person, and he will definitely be able to distinguish which are rumors and which are facts... Even if there are complaints from the people, we are sure to suppress them!"

"But if...you are really going to ask for rain! If you can't ask for rain...what will the world think? What will father think? What will the people think?"

"The slanderous remarks against you will become even more severe, and the common people will even attribute the reason why it doesn't rain to your begging for rain... At that time, what kind of anger and resentment... Fifth brother, how can you bear it."

Yo... I haven't seen you for more than half a year.

Cao Xiong actually had a feeling of admiration for Cao Lin's younger brother...

Sure enough, my brother Cao Lin has grown up and matured...

Cao Xiong felt a little grateful for a moment.

I was even more pondering in my heart, Brother Cao Lin has helped me all these years...

Cao Lin was the only one who silently rushed to help Cao Xiong behind him.

It's time to be grateful.

Mind this.

"Hey..." Cao Xiong smiled slightly. "Of course I won't ask for rain..."

"Then you still..." Cao Lin looked suspicious.

"However, I know that there is one person who can ask for rain...to solve this dilemma for our Dawei, for my father, and for my son!"

"Who?"

Cao Lin hurriedly asked, still curious.

Of course, no matter what Cao Xiong said, in Cao Lin's view...the so-called "begging for rain" is just three words, not reliable...

"Haha..." Cao Xiong laughed, and then he stretched out his hand, pointing his index finger at Cao Lin. "For the great Wei, it is you, my good brother——Cao Lin who made this extraordinary achievement through the ages!"

……

Chapter 1237 Ask for rain, just ask for rain!

"No, no..." Cao Lin waved his hands repeatedly. "Fifth brother, don't make fun of me, how can my brother beg for rain?"

"Fifth Brother said you can, so you can! You can do it if you can't!" Cao Xiong asked back. "Believe it or not, your fifth brother!"

"Fifth brother, it's not a question of whether you believe it or not..." Hearing Cao Xiong's firm words, Cao Lin almost collapsed... "God doesn't mean to rain at all... How can I ask for it? I want to beg for it... I am the Dragon Lord!"

"Hey... If you don't ask?" Cao Xiong grinned, revealing a faint smile. "Your fifth brother will ask for rain himself..."

While speaking, Cao Xiong blinked his eyes, with an expression that I want to eat you...

what…

Cao Lin paused...

He is helpless...

Asking for rain, this is a vision... How can I really ask for it?

Of course, if rain is required?He, Cao Lin, could beg... Wei Shizi, Cao Xiong, could not.

It seems to have thought of this.

Cao Lin's heart skipped a beat. "Okay... Fifth Brother, since you insist on asking for rain, let me, Cao Lin, come..."

In fact, what Cao Lin wanted to say was.

If the rain comes, let father, common people, and Great Wei all know that it is the fifth brother's credit.

In this way, the fifth brother's filial piety, the fifth brother's love for the people, and the fifth brother's heart to share the worries of the Great Wei are known to the world... This is a great achievement.

But if the gods don't show face and don't ask for rain, then Cao Lin will stop all the guilt and plead guilty. In front of his father Cao Cao, Chen Yan is his fault.

Suddenly awakened, repented and confessed...

Even if his father Cao Cao would blame him, he would mainly blame him, Cao Lin.

Even if someone asks Fifth Brother to help...

At that time, Cao Lin only needs to say that he is bewitching the fifth brother, and he will escape.

With this in mind, Cao Lin looked at Cao Xiong: "Fifth brother, it's agreed, if you can't ask for rain, the responsibility is mine! You can't help me bear it!"

"Okay, okay..." How can Cao Xiong not know his thoughts, of course, Cao Xiong is even more reluctant to let this younger brother Cao Lin be punished on his behalf...

If he is really punished.
