[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

"Zihe?" Cao Cao stepped forward quickly, grabbed his hand, and the two held hands together. Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "Brother, why are you here?"

The young man nodded to Xun Yu who came out later, and then said to Cao Cao, "My brother abandoned his official position and returned home. Along the way, he met soldiers holding brother's hunting order. When he returned home and asked, he learned that Uncle Song had not returned. , I knew that something must have happened to my brother, and I thought that if my brother was hunted down, he would definitely not return home. Here, the prefect of Chenliu is brother Meng Zhuo, and my brother might go to him, so I took people all the way west to find him."

He summed up the busy work of the past month in a few words. Although he said it lightly, Cao Cao understood all the difficulties involved, and also understood that his brother must have spent a lot of effort to find him. I had to hug my younger brother, and patted his back again, hiding the sour eyes at that moment.

Cao Cao was not liked by adults since he was a child. His father liked a well-behaved younger brother, and so did his uncle. I have a great relationship with him.

It was his youngest brother, Cao Chun, who came to look for him this time.

Unexpectedly, he came after his father, but his father left him, and hurried to Xuzhou with his younger siblings. On the contrary, the younger brother who was only as good as the crown came to look for him after he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown.The warmth and coldness of human feelings made his thoughts flutter all of a sudden, chaotic like rushes.

He patted his younger brother, but didn't let go of his hand. "Brother, come and meet my military advisor. This is Wen Ruo, a man of great talent."

Xun Yu just deliberately stood a little farther away, not disturbing the reunion of the two brothers, now seeing Cao Cao introducing himself, he took a few steps closer, "Zihe, long time no see."

"Wen Ruo."

The two saluted each other, but their gestures were quite familiar. Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "By the way, both of you are close ministers of the emperor. I think I have met them before."

I have indeed seen it, not only seen it, but also quite reasonable.

It’s just that this is not a suitable opportunity to reminisce about the old days. The two of them formed a tacit understanding when their eyebrows intersected. Cao Chun clasped his fists and saluted Cao Cao as a general. Three thousand, Brother Ren is still recruiting soldiers, and he already has two thousand before he leaves, I'll be there first, he'll be there later."

In other words, Cao Cao is about to change from a small team leader with only 1000 soldiers to a squadron leader with more than [-] soldiers, and whether he can be promoted to the team leader depends on whether Cao Ren can recruit more people.

Cao Cao was extremely calm about this welfare that could be said to be a pie in the sky, and he frowned.

From Qiaojun to Chenliu, the road is basically rich and prosperous. For conscription, they usually go to some poor and remote areas, where the strong laborers can't eat enough, and there are not so many family scruples. Just give them a bite of food. They are willing to fight.

But in a rich land, although the population is large, as long as they are not pushed to the limit, the farmers here will not be willing to leave their land.

This is why although Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are friends, they can't find anyone.

Even if Zhang Miao is a well-known local prefect, needless to say, Cao Cao has a bad name and a bad birth.

"Brother." Cao Cao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to ask. He took a deep breath, but his mouth felt congested, and he was a little choked up for a moment, and saw his younger brother calmly said, "Brother, I changed it." Some food and grass. Brother Ren will send it together."

"There aren't many replacements, I guess it's only enough for one month, brother has to worry about the rest."

Cao Cao took a deep breath to ease his emotions. He squeezed his saber hard, and the cold texture of the metal calmed him down.

He understood what Cao Chun meant. Cao Chun didn't want to tell about the sale of property to fund his recruitment. He didn't want to use it to lower Cao Cao's prestige, as a barrier between their brothers, and he didn't want to ask for favors in return.

So it's good to know each other well, there is no need to say it.

Cao Cao had no choice but to say two words.

"brother."

Cao Chun nodded at him, and the two fisted together, "Brother."

A few days later, Xun Yu's essay on attacking Dong Zhuo was circulated. Xun Yu's eloquent words were only about [-] words, and he scolded Dong Zhuo like a dog, and then gradually aroused the anger of those who read the article. Emotions, until the end-inviting heroes from all over the world to gather here to join in charitable deeds is the end, which makes people feel hearty after reading.

The proclamation was spread out from various channels. Some people who saw the proclamation abandoned it, some were excited, and more people were curious about who Cao Mengde was, and there were a few people, but they saw a person between the lines in this document.

Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo.

He stood on Cao Mengde's side.

Is this his personal behavior, or the choice of Yingchuan Xun's family?

There is too little information to judge for the time being, but what is certain is that Cao Mengde can be chosen by Xun Wenruo, and he must have his excellence.

All of a sudden, the seemingly peaceful world and the world of literati were undercurrents.

The name of Cao Mengde, and his proclamation, have spread to more places than before, because this time he... has money.

The arrival of Cao Chun and Cao Ren brought military expenses in addition to soldiers and food.

This gave Xun Yu more room to maneuver. He ordered people to use various means to spread the call, and extended his hand as much as possible to those cities that were not controlled by the aristocratic family.

Xun Yu's purpose is very simple. The call to action is actually to express an attitude. Although Cao Cao has made a start in this matter, if he really formed a coalition army, Cao Cao's cards are not enough, so he must not be the leader.

This is a disadvantage, but it is also an advantage.

Gein's family is full of wealthy and talented people, but as far as Xun Yu knows, there are still many talented people scattered in the countryside. I can't say anything even if I go there, so I might as well wait and see more, so that I can find a lord who is close to my eyes.

Xun Yu knew his friends well.

With their personalities, if they suddenly found out that they had voted for a protagonist, they would definitely be curious.

As long as you are curious...there will be a desire to know.

Xun Wenruo stood with his hands down, smiling brightly, but made the soldiers guarding the gate take a big step back after reporting.

Then he got back to the original place rather inexplicably, hey!It's strange, Mr. Military Advisor obviously smiles very nicely, but why do you think it's better not to get too close?

Xia Anran, who was far away in Chenggao, was still immersed in mass production, and didn't know that Boss Cao had suddenly become rich from a poor life, and walked towards a happy life of prosperity.

After Pang County Magistrate issued an order, Chenggao County began to be active under the pretext of storing grain in winter, and the pot for cooking fish bones did not stop every day.

Xia Anran's bone meal making is not behind people's backs, but everyone is just looking for something new... because they don't need the benefits of bone meal that Mr. Xia Xiaolang strongly recommends.

Drought resistant... now with waterwheels.

Cold resistance... Everyone does not plant land in winter.

Therefore, the villagers have all excused that the dosage is not large now, you should use it first, Mr. Xiaolang, and rejected Xia Anran's Amway.

After one or two times, Xia Anran also understood that she was being treated like a child again, and immediately went back to the Zhuangzi with the bone meal in her hands, full of the aura of a nouveau riche.

What wheat seedlings are still young and do not need to be fed?

More fat, sprinkle.

What courgettes and greens are already good and don’t need to be fattened?

More fat, sprinkle.

What finally stopped his nouveau riche behavior was his last rationality, remembering that although fertilizer is good, excess is harmful.

Gee.

He silently put away the remaining bone meal, and planned to open a few more fields in the spring of next year.

The Zhuangzi left by Xia's father and Xia's mother to Xia Anran occupies a medium area. After all, Chenggao County can be regarded as an area on the edge of the imperial city. In modern times, it would be outside the sixth and seventh ring roads. Although it is not as good as God's, the price is not much cheaper. go.

Xia's father and Xia's mother also have Zhuangzi in several other places, just like modern people generally don't buy many houses in the most expensive places, but choose to buy houses in relatively affordable places.

Especially those places... Xia Anran silently praised Xia's father and mother for buying a house.

Because they bought a large piece of land in Xuchang, which is still relatively unknown, and Yecheng, which is already somewhat famous but still a second-tier city.

Xia Anran can fully predict that the value of these two places will skyrocket in the future.

Xuchang was the Xu capital where Cao Cao later "followed the emperor's orders but not ministers", and Yecheng was one of the five capitals of the later Jin Dynasty.

Xia Anran realized that as long as he firmly hugged Boss Cao's thigh, he could become a small rich man by speculating in real estate.

However, during the war years, no amount of money was enough to invest.

He sighed, especially what he wanted to do, it was so expensive.

According to the historical process, from 190 to 192, because of the common enemy Dong Zhuo, although there were occasional turmoil and collisions among the princes of the world, the overall situation was still stable, but once Dong Zhuo died, those princes would be like soybean sprouts that had lost the stone. , All of a sudden, all the active thoughts that were suppressed before were released, and each of them jumped up desperately, wishing to grow ten centimeters a day.

To some extent, Dong Zhuo is not the culprit that caused the disaster in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he is more like an opener.

He let the warlords know that as long as there is an army, they can manipulate the court.

It also removes the impression of the divine right of the king from people's minds.

When people knew that the emperor was just an ordinary person, he was mortal, his blood was red, and as long as he had the right, he could ascend the throne and proclaim himself king, the box of ambition was opened.

What's ridiculous is that those people who were reviled by later generations, such as Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Sima Yi, never became kings until their death.

While thinking about it, Xia Anran watered another piece of grass in her family.

In fact, not long after the wheat was planted, he got alfalfa seeds from the grower.

Alfalfa is also the seed brought by Zhang Qian after returning to the East, and it is a very, very good pasture variety.

But the main reason Xia Anran is planting it now is because alfalfa belongs to beans, and the roots of beans usually have nodules capable of fixing nitrogen, which can absorb nitrogen in the air during the growth process, and then fix it in the soil, and alfalfa The grass has very deep roots and strong vitality. When this crop of alfalfa is harvested, you will find that its root system can break up the original hard soil, and it can pump up the nutrients from the deep soil for further digestion on the surface .

That is to say, the plants planted after the alfalfa grass is planted will naturally enjoy the treatment: after adding a crop of fertilizer, the soil is loosened, and the roots are all treated with delicious nutrients.

Such plants basically do not grow badly, and the validity period can basically reach three years.

By the way, modern common four-leaf clover and clover are alfalfa, the most famous of which is alfalfa.

What are the disadvantages of such a good plant? Of course there are, one is that people cannot eat it, and the other is that it loves water.

Therefore, it is difficult to grow it where the big man needs it most, but it is unnecessary to grow it where it is easy to grow.

But in fact, it is because the common people are not aware of the effect of alfalfa to fertilize the field. Otherwise, the newly reclaimed wasteland will be planted first, and it will save trouble in the next two or three years.

Even so, Xia Anran's purpose of planting this plant now is not to fertilize the field, but for food and grass.

It is often heard in modern times that the three armies do not use food and grass first. The word "Cao" means forage, which is for the horses to eat. Generally speaking, the food can be short, but the grass is not.

People can die, but horses can't.

If you want to ask why... Refer to Cao Cao's several deadlocks, all of which were escaped by his subordinates, younger brothers, and sons.

This is because the horse has a strong charging ability, and the impact force can be strengthened when riding at high speed, and people riding on horses are invisible than infantry.

And similarly, unless one's own side is desperately desperate for a desperate fight, the horse must be attacked first. In ordinary struggles, robbing and picking up horses are very important tasks.

Otherwise, according to the style of play of the Three Kingdoms, the horse will probably die before the people.

There are still two years before the troubled times, Xia Anran plans to stockpile food first, as there is food, there is confidence.

And just as he was desperately gathering food like a squirrel about to spend the winter, he was suddenly called over by the Lu family, and a piece of paper was stuffed over him.

It is very ordinary paper, and the characters are also very ordinary. Xia Anran glanced at it hastily, and the first thing she saw was the signature, Meng De.

He widened his eyes, and looked at it carefully, the more he looked, the more frozen his expression became.

In the end it turned into a dumbfounding.

Strictly speaking, this is Cao Cao's letter of thanks.

He used very cryptic words to thank him for introducing Xun Yu, and then he told himself that he was ready to formally raise an army, and he was currently stationed in Chenliu.

Then he asked this "little friend" if he would like to go to Chenliu for a talk. If so, his cronies will come to visit Lu Boshe in two days, and they can just go with him when the time comes.

Xia Anran silently raised her head, Lu Boshe looked at him with eyes filled with all kinds of hatred.

Obviously, Cao Cao's letter was in the hands of Lu Boshe, who passed it first, and it is very possible that Cao Cao did not seal the letter, that is, to let the guardian Lu Boshe know the meaning of this matter.

Lu Boshe naturally understood the meaning of this "good nephew". The son of the old Cao family had taken a fancy to his nephew, who was only 16 years old after the new year, and wanted to lure someone into a pirate ship.

That's right, thief boat, that's how Lu Boshe is currently positioned. For him, although he is the son of a friend, he knows better than anyone what kind of character Cao Cao is. Not a good lord, and what's the matter with this girl who doesn't even let the children off!Xia Anran is only 16 years old! 16 years old!The hair hasn't even grown yet!

If Xia Anran wants to join the army, he personally prefers to choose the two more famous sons of the Yuan family.

And Lu Boshe had a dark thought in his heart.

He felt that Cao Cao's letter was transmitted through him, which was actually implying military expenses.

If Xia Anran went to vote for Cao Cao, for Xia Anran's safety, Lu Boshe would have to shed blood for Xia Anran's safety, donate some money and food to Cao Cao, or at least, the Xia family's property would have to be handed over to Xia Anran.

In this era, if you officially become an official, even if you have not reached the age of the crown, it means that you are already an adult and can start a career. For the convenience of the workplace, the elders will bestow letters and perform crowning ceremonies in advance, and the property will also be handed over to him. take care of.

For example, Cao Chun is a typical example. When his father died, he was only 14 years old, but with the support of his elders, he was able to perform the crown ceremony at that time, which was earlier than his brother Cao Ren, because his father Before he died, he decided to hand over the family business to him, not his brother.

Because of this, he was recommended early later, and when he entered the palace as the servant of the Huangmen, he was no match.

Cao Ren, on the other hand, waited for the age to be crowned step by step.

Therefore, if Xia Anran really intends to go to Cao Cao's side, he must first perform the crowning ceremony. From then on, everyone will not look at him with the eyes of a child, but will ask him with the harsh eyes of an adult. , Criticize him, instigate him.

He even felt that this possibility was greater than that Cao Cao was really interested in his nephew. He guessed that he was jumping angrily-the reason why he didn't jump up now was because although he was happy to see his nephew, he obviously He hasn't been overwhelmed by joy yet, so as an adult, he has to hold back.

Xia Anran was really thinking about this issue, of course he didn't think as much as the local Lu Boshe, who was about to fill his brains for the next ten years, Xia Anran was seriously thinking about going to Cao Cao now Possibilities and possibilities around you.

From the previous world, he already knew this system. Although he once claimed to be able to protect the host from being killed, there is no way to save the host in the state of death. Cao Cao's current living environment is not dangerous. On Zhang Miao's territory, and after the establishment of the Dongdong Alliance next year, Cao Cao's main combat faction would be defeated repeatedly due to too few numbers, and was beaten to the ground.

At that time its entire battalion was almost wiped out.

But the situation is different now, Cao Cao now has the help of Xun Yu, he slowly took a breath, looked at Lu Boshe, and then he was taken aback, although his uncle was smiling, but his face was suppressed Turned into a pig's liver, his smile was as stiff as a mask, but he looked a little murderous.

He hesitated and said, "Anran thank you Mr. Cao for your high regard, but now you really can't leave, so you can only write an apology, and then delay that military master to bring something to Mr. Cao."

Just after he finished speaking with some trembling, Lu Boshe's complexion immediately turned better, he laughed and patted Xia Anran a few times, and said, "It's okay, the time we agreed on will be ten days later, my son can slow down." Write slowly."

Xia Anran: ...

No, wait, uncle, you didn't tell me that it was ten days later!

He thought he was leaving immediately!

Xia Anran naturally didn't know that his uncle did it on purpose, but rearranged the one, two, three listed in his mind just now, and in the next few days, he hurriedly sorted out a small box, ready to Let Cao Cao's personal soldiers take him away.

Small dried fish must be taken away.

By the way, I want to write about the method of making dried fish. Although Chen Liu doesn't rely on the Yellow River, he has his own rivers, big and small.

In addition, he hastily wrote some proverbs to distinguish the weather, and cut a section of bamboo.

Nowadays, it is all based on experience to look at the weather when marching and fighting. Xia Anran's experience comes from thousands of years later, and they are all correct proverbs that have been verified by science.

He cut the bamboo into three feet long, and cut one end into a fork shape. This is a very simple weather forecast tool. The bamboo pole with the fork facing upwards is inserted into a wooden barrel filled with sand or broken soil, and placed indoors in a ventilated place out of direct sunlight. If it is sunny, the fork of the bamboo fork will bend inward due to dryness, and the two forks will be infinitely close together. When it is cloudy and rainy, because of the high air humidity, the fork of the bamboo fork will open again after absorbing water. open.

Just look at the degree and speed of the fork to know the future weather changes.

This is especially applicable in the north. Because the air humidity in the south has always been relatively high, there cannot be a very obvious change.

Xia Anran has one plugged in at her own home, and uses it as a weather forecast.

After all, he has farmland to take care of. If the fork is close to him for several days in a row, he will have to water it. When the fork is slowly opened, he will know that it is going to rain, and there is no need to water it these days.

He wrote down the general rules. Cao Cao has a smart person like Xun Yu, so he doesn't have to worry that he can't understand, let alone that they don't believe him...

Xia Anran felt that if this era wasn't for the Three Kingdoms, and it wasn't for the era when all the talents were so smart and close to demons, and they didn't hide their clumsiness but showed themselves boldly, he might have been targeted long ago.

And because this era is the most tolerant time period in Chinese history for talents, all the abnormalities he showed...instead became normal.

He took a deep breath.

He wants to change the world and end the war as soon as possible. To achieve this is far from being done by farming.

Xia Anran hides a little secret under a wooden board at the entrance of the hall of Xia's manor. It is true that Xia Anran hid it in a place where everyone would step on it. This is what he looks at One of the most easily overlooked places discovered after so many film and television dramas.

Because the door is a place that must be passed, the wooden floor here is slightly loose, which is very in line with people's normal thinking. If the wood in the rest of the room is loose, people will suspect it at first. Only the door...is absolutely safe.

Under this piece of wood, there is the plan for the next ten years written by Xia Anran.

That is... definitely not for people to see, because it is full of deviant things, and it is also full of things that an ordinary civilian is not allowed to make.

That is something that can only be brought out when etiquette and righteousness are exhausted, morality collapses, and the legal system is extinct.

Xia Anran has never opened it since she finished writing it.

His intervention in history began when that box was opened.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Lu family welcomed a guest.

The guest drove lightly, with only one horse and one cart. When he arrived at the entrance of Lujiazhuang, he got off his horse and saluted the servant at the door, "Please pass it on. I'm calling Cao Chun. I'm here to find... Mr. Xia."

The author has something to say:

Cao Cao's brothers and relatives have a lot of talents, and many of them failed to leave a reputation because of their untimely death, such as Cao Chun.The author is here to introduce this to you.He and Cao Ren are brothers, the same mother, 2 years younger.

When Cao Ren was young, he was more bearish, maybe the kind with fat intestines, so when their father died, they bypassed Cao Ren and passed the family property to Cao Chun, who was only 14 years old at the time. The Cao family seemed to be quite rich, anyway. After Cao Chun inherited it, he took care of the family business very well and had a lot of small money.

Then he entered the palace at the age of 18 and became a servant of the Huangmen (not a eunuch!), responsible for guiding the princes at banquets. Let the two know each other privately.

It can be seen from this how awesome this girl is, at least academically he is at the level of a great Confucian, and he worked in the palace for 2 years before Xun Yu came in, and then the two resigned at about the same time, strictly speaking, they are still Xun Yu's seniors.

And what's even more exaggerated is... When Cao Cao raised his troops, this man changed his clothes with one click, and changed from civil to military (so Cao Cao was stunned when he saw him performing military generals in the article), and he was not weak. Compared with his brother Xiong Cao Ren, this man They control the most elite troops under Cao Cao, similar to the special forces. They are not well-known on the battlefield because this elite guards Cao Cao most of the time.

The most famous one is probably Changban Poshang and Cao Cao chasing Liu Bei together and then snatching his two daughters back (Yuanmu) is usually very low-key.However, he died early, how could he not be found? He must have died of illness?

After he died, Cao Cao couldn't find the commander of this army all at once, and in the end he simply led the army himself, which shows Cao Chun's position in his heart.By the way, strictly speaking, Cao Chun, Cao Ren and Cao Cao faced different worlds. Cao Cao's father recognized the eunuch as his father, so Cao Cao was the eunuch's successor.

Cao Chun and Cao Ren were not. Their grandfather was still the prefect of Yingchuan, and their own father was also an official, so the two of them are really the descendants of officials.

Cao Ren and Cao Chun came to vote when Cao Cao had nothing, so Cao Cao trusted them very much.In fact, you guessed right at the beginning, the author wanted to fix Cao Ang at the beginning.

Then this girl is the eldest son... It's too troublesome to write a short story about the family, so cross it out.Cao Ren was chosen again, this girl is actually very good in the official history, and the impregnable iron wall is also very good!Then... er er er errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so, it seems that he is not very good-looking (hey) Then I checked the family tree and found Cao Chun.

Emma, ​​who can make money, can study, can fight, and is a special force, died early (?) History has no records, no OOC, the good thing is you are hot! ! PS: Although the nutrient solution has been reformed, it still requires irrigation! ! ! PPS: When I mentioned the one-click dressup earlier, someone asked the author if he played Nuannuan... I played it, but the aesthetics were defeated.The source of my one-click dressup is Kisan. PVPPVE is the one-click dressup type. The author is a steel snail, and occasionally cuts PVE to play among the crowd.
