Zhuge Liang said with a shyness unique to this age:
"My lord, there is one thing that I don't understand, but I don't know what the purpose of this crouching dragon and phoenix chick is?"
When Zhuge Liang heard Cao Ang say Crouching Dragon for the first time just now, he wanted to ask the source.
He was just interrupted by the topic, and now he heard Cao Ang talking about it again, so he immediately asked.
"Kong Ming doesn't know the theory of crouching dragon and phoenix chick?"
"My lord, I laughed. Liang is ignorant and has never heard of it!"
What the hell!
Cao Ang immediately understood that he was careless.
Calculated according to the time, I am afraid that at this time, Lord Pang De has not given the title yet.
After working for a long time, I made an own mistake.
Cao Ang smiled awkwardly, but the words are no longer as good as just saying it yourself, and you can also be a favor, and praise Zhuge Liang by the way, and then say:
"Haha! Kong Ming doesn't know, the so-called crouching dragon and phoenix chick refer to you and Pang Shiyuan!"
Zhuge Liang waved his hands again and again: "My lord, this is a shame, how dare I call myself a crouching dragon?"
Although Zhuge Liang was like this on the surface, he was already very happy in his heart.
People are like this, if a little white man says you are Wolong.
You might think it's nothing.
But it would be completely different if the words came from a well-known person.
Especially in this day and age.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most important thing was celebrity comments.
Often you are nothing, but if you get a good comment from a celebrity at the time, your reputation will be on the top of the list in no time.
It is talked about by the world.
Even Boss Cao was the same way. Back then, he was very excited when he got a comment from everyone at that time, Xu Shao.
Xu Shao said: "Your son is a capable minister in governing the world, and a hero in troubled times!"
It was these simple words that brought Cao Cao, who was little known at the time, to fame.
And today's Cao Ang is the Hussar General of the dynasty. He is truly one person under ten thousand people, and his comments are even more valuable!
Therefore, even though Zhuge Liang got the title of Crouching Dragon, although he was humble on the surface and shirked that he couldn't afford it, he was already happy in his heart.
Cao Ang also didn't want to fuss over this trivial matter in his opinion.
Instead, he said, "But I don't know where Pang Tong is now?"
Zhuge Liang also put away the joy in his heart:
"He has been studying at home with Duke Pang De, and he should still be in Xiangyang now!"
"Did he not go to Jiangdong?"
Cao Ang knew that Pang Tong had worked under Zhou Yu in history.
Later, he took refuge in Liu Bei.
"Scholar Yuan came to visit me a few days ago, but he didn't say anything about going to Jiangdong, but he mentioned Xu Shu's matter to me. I heard that Yuan Zhi is leading the army in Qingzhou right now?"
When Zhuge Liang mentioned this, his face unconsciously showed undisguised admiration for Xu Shu.
Cao Ang said with a smile: "It's good if you don't go. Kong Ming is right. Yuan Zhi is fighting Yuan Tan in Qingzhou at the moment. I got the battle report the day before yesterday. Most of the territory of Qi has fallen into our army. I believe it won't be long. Yuan Zhi You can triumph!"
"I'm really envious of Yuanzhi being able to lead the army on the battlefield. Don't I wait for the man to hope that one day I can compete in the battlefield?"
"Hahaha! Why is this so difficult? Kong Ming will go with me this time, and we will be able to appreciate the heroic feelings that cannot be described in words on the battlefield."
Zhuge Liang's eyes flickered, as if there was a flame burning inside.
……
Guandu!
Cao Cao personally commanded [-] troops.
They have already set up their positions on the front line of Guandu.
General Li Dianle also led [-] soldiers each into Baima in Dongjun, intending to cross the Yellow River here, and then enter Liyang to open Yuan Shao's gate.
However, just as everything was going on in full swing, it was almost at the close of the door.
Maybe God didn't want Yuan Shao to be eaten by Cao Cao so soon.
The original dry northern land.
Suddenly, it rained heavily for five consecutive days, directly interrupting all Cao Cao's plans invisibly.
The water of the Yellow River also broke out a flood that was rare in a century due to continuous rainfall.
The floods destroyed all crops, houses and farmland on both sides of the Yellow River.
Countless people were displaced.
The flood also destroyed the city wall of Baima.
In desperation, Li Dianlejin and others who were preparing to cross the river in the city had no choice but to give up their plan to cross the river and busy fighting the flood. The vanguard army became a flood fighting rescue force in the blink of an eye.
But having said that, even if they don't fight the flood, it is impossible for them to cross the river.
Because the sudden flood swept away all Cao Jun's ships overnight, Cao Jun wanted to cross the river unless he flew over.
Even the grain and grass that had been parked in Guandu were washed away due to the surge of water in the canal.
This made the smug Cao Cao very depressed.
Lamented repeatedly: "Heaven will not protect my army to cross the river!"
The ancients have always been superstitious, and all the soldiers thought it was an ominous omen.
Even Xun You said: "My lord! This is God helping Yuan Shao, why don't we decide the matter of begging Yuan separately!"
Even if Cao Cao didn't believe in evil, he had no choice but to face such a situation. Not only the ships were gone, but most of the food and grass were also lost.
If at this time, you still insist on going your own way and continue to attack.
Not to mention others, it is estimated that the soldiers under him have no fighting spirit.
Faced with these factors, Cao Cao had no choice but to reluctantly give up his attack on Yuan Shao.
The general mobilization of the whole people these days was completely destroyed by a flood.
It's also miraculous.
Cao Cao has just returned to Xudu.
Days of heavy rain came to an abrupt end, and in the end Lao Cao had no choice but to believe that this might be God's will!
After the flood came the famine.
Countless refugees poured into Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other hinterlands of the Central Plains.
Under the persuasion of Xun Yu and others, Lao Cao completely gave up his plan to attack Yuan Shao this year.
And sent his officials into various places to start opening warehouses to distribute food to the victims.
In today's era, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, and then warlord melee.
The population on the land of the Central Plains is already small, in order to stabilize the population and avoid population loss again.
Cao Cao can be said to be doing his best.Send a large army to the area of Liangzhou, Yongzhou, to escort the food and grass to relieve the victims.
With Lao Cao's move.
The refugees after the catastrophe were rescued.
Although the heavy rain caused Cao Cao to lose an opportunity to attack Yuan Shao.
But he won the support of the people because he opened a warehouse to release grain and rescue the victims.
For a while, Cao Cao's reputation among the people has reached an extremely high level.
This is also what Cao Cao did not expect.
--
The author says:
Chapter 229 Old!old
It was also because of Cao Cao's decision that he established his strong prestige in the Central Plains in the future.
On the other hand, look at Yuan Shao's jurisdiction.
Because Yuan Shao was in response to the imminent war.
Control a large amount of food and grass in his hands.
So much so that when the victims arrived in Yizhou, instead of providing relief to the victims, the local officials sent troops to drive them away.
Now, even though countless homeless victims escaped the flood, they were still starved to death in the end.
During the period, Jushou and others also jointly wrote a letter, hoping that Yuan Shao, who had returned to Yecheng, could open a warehouse to release grain.
However, Yuan Shao worked hard. He who was considered sympathetic to the people at first, immediately possessed himself with a cock.
The euphemistic name is to deal with Cao Jun's sudden attack.
This ordered the people in Hebei to complain.
Everyone cursed Yuan Shao behind his back that he would die a bad life.
For a time, starvation was everywhere in Hebei. Countless poor people went up the mountain and fell grass because they couldn't bear the hunger.
They were all forced to become robbers and bandits.
In order to survive, some people made rafts and came under Cao Cao's rule while the flood receded.
The people who came here never thought that they were also forced to make such a bad plan.
After arriving, Lao Cao not only gave him food but also clothing.
The news flew to Hebei as if it had grown wings.
After hearing the news, a large number of refugees fled from Yuan Shao's jurisdiction.
Came to Henan.
Cao Cao never refuses anyone who comes. Only an idiot would think there are too many people these days?
And Yuan Shao is precisely this idiot!
……
On the other side, Cao Ang learned when the Yellow River flooded.
It was the time when he returned to Xinye with Zhuge Liang.
As a modern person, I have become accustomed to the virtue of support from all sides when one party is in trouble.
It's okay if you don't have the ability.
At this time, Cao Ang had this ability.
His system warehouse not only has a lot of grain, gold and silver, but also a lot of crop seeds.
If the arrangement is proper, the second wave of planting can also be carried out at this time.
In order to be able to stabilize the situation.
Cao Ang resolutely gave up his plan to stay in Jingzhou.
He handed over Jingzhou's affairs to Guo Jia, Cai Mao and others, and he rushed back to Xudu with some people.
However, Zhuge Liang was arranged by Cao Ang to go to Xiangyang to find Pang Tong.
On this day, Cao Cao was unhappy about appeasing the victims.
It's not that he doesn't want to gather the victims.
Mainly worry!
