Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

Cao Jun's camp, the muddy ground is still cold with autumn rain.

In the past, when the Yellow Turbans and Dong Zhuo were fought, it seemed to be the same weather. Cold and damp. Of course, we have to wait for the soldiers to collect the food of the year before they can send troops, but is it late autumn?

The brazier in the tent is beating with yellow flames, which can drive away the cold from the body, but not the cold from the heart.

"Your Majesty is infected with the epidemic... Your Majesty is infected with the epidemic..." Cao Cao clenched his fists, "Asheng himself is a doctor, can this be cured, is there a precise word?"

The messenger of the spy department drifted his eyes: "When the humble post left Hedong, His Majesty's fever had subsided, and he wanted to save his life. But the master said... Said, I'm afraid there will be scars on the face..."

"Just...a few hundred pockmarks on my face..."

The advisors and generals all took a deep breath. The most outspoken Xiahou Dun immediately said: "He was not very prestige at first, but now he has just got a little better, and then he got such a strange disease. Let the Yuan brothers know, and said that he was rejected by the ancestors."

"Shut up!"

The scars on the little emperor's legs have to be covered up, but the scars on this face cannot be covered. As soon as we got up, everyone saw it. If you let a person go to sacrifice to heaven and earth with a pockmarked face, I am afraid that the heart and liver of the most loyal Han minister will tremble.

"Darang, also," the messenger stood farther away from Xiahou Dun, "His Majesty's classmate, there are more than twenty people who went to Hedong with him..."

Everyone's faces can't hold back now, yes, my baby is also trapped in the epidemic area, fall! There are several eldest sons among them!

Cao Cao's lips trembled: "How many are sick?"

"Just... one. It's A Chong from General Yuan Rang's family."

The messenger dodged.

Xiahou Dun fight again.

The messenger hides again.

The two circled around the weapon rack. The messenger walked around, begging for mercy: "Master... The master said that Duke Xiahou... the young master has a good foundation... than your majesty... so much better, so... so, don't let it go."

Finally, Dian Wei and Cao Hong went up to hug Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun had both of his arms on it, so he could only put a kick in the direction of the messenger, kicking into the air viciously.

Sounds like a funny scene but no one can laugh it off.

"My lord," Guo Jia was the first to react, "The best strategy now is to block the news. It is the time when the two armies are facing each other, and there is fire in the rear, which will shake the hearts of the army the most."

When Cao Cao was reminded, he immediately became shrewd: "You are right. Then what? Is it better to fight quickly, or is it more appropriate to withdraw troops secretly?"

Guo Jia didn't open his mouth to respond when a soldier came in outside. "Report-Master, something is bad. Zhang Miao, Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao and others are gone."

"What?" Cao Cao was taken aback and personally led him to the highest siege vehicle in the battalion. Sure enough, Liu Biao's troops stationed on the hills in the northwest and Zhang Xiu's troops stationed by the water in the east had disappeared, leaving only the green mountains and green waters in the south, swaying dark green in the late autumn light rain.

The sky is blue, the scenery is blue, the monsters are blue.

We agreed to fight Yuan Shu together? Friends, you are running a little faster.

Only Zhang Miao, who also lived in Yanzhou, had a deeper friendship with Cao Cao, and even ran to Cao Cao's military camp before leaving.

"Meng De, you are not being kind." Zhang Miao said when he entered the village gate, "How can you hide such a big thing."

Cao Cao almost jumped off the siege vehicle, pulled Zhang Miao and entered the tent. "What's the matter? Please tell Meng Zhuo in detail."

"Hey." Zhang Miao shook off Cao Cao's claws in disgust, "You pretended to be confused? It's going to kill us."

"I just got the news, how did Meng Zhuo know?"

"Yuan Shu's letter of persuasion shot into my camp..."

"How did Yuan Shu know?"

The two looked at each other. Zhang Miao rubbed his head: "Yes, how did Yuan Shu know? Could it be... that's not right, can this plague still obey people's orders?"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth: "My brother sent a letter saying that someone knew that His Majesty was visiting Hedong, and that he deliberately bought barbarians with epidemic diseases and shot them in front of His Majesty for fun. Those noble families with eyes higher than the top? Who else could Yuan Shu be without him?"

Zhang Miao was almost shocked, he found a seat and sat down in slow motion: "Yuan Gonggong is very good. Then we should withdraw our troops now."

"Can't withdraw." The two voices shouted this sentence almost simultaneously.

One is Guo Jia, and the other is Liu Bei who hurried in.

Guo Jia: MMP, why do so many people cut me off today?

"Meng Degong also received the news of His Majesty's infection." Liu Bei said without breathing, "Not to mention that there is Lord Zhonghua in the rear, His Majesty will be safe, we people If you don’t know medical skills, you won’t be able to help when you go back. There are 100,000 soldiers hidden in Shouchun City. If we flee in a hurry and Yuan Shu takes the opportunity to pursue them, it will be a heavy defeat! Meng Degong thinks twice.”

"Xuande Gong has insight." Although he has been wary of Liu Bei for a long time, Guo Jia is not stingy with praise at this time.

Zhang Miao stared: "Do you still want to fight another battle before leaving? The army's heart is shaken, and all the reinforcements are retreating, how to fight?"

Guo Jia did not argue with Zhang Miao, and only worked **** Cao Cao's side. "My lord, the underdog will win. And the current situation—" He lowered his voice and leaned closer to Cao Cao's ear, "Could there be an opportunity for Maling to reduce the stove?"

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qi army led by Sun Bin used the method of pretending to reduce the fire in the kitchen to show weakness, so that the Wei army mistakenly thought that his troops were constantly fleeing. , The Prince of Wei was captured, and Pang Juan, the commander of the Wei army, committed suicide, which is known as the Battle of Maling in history.

A textbook ambush.

Cao Cao understood in seconds, stared at Guo Jia and laughed. It was the first time he laughed since receiving the news of the emperor's illness. Zhang Miao and Liu Bei laughed horribly at him.

"Meng Degong?"

"Fight, Xuande, fight." Cao Cao pulled Liu Bei, "You lead the troops, like this..."

Later, according to the "Book of Wei", in October of the seventh year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu Yin assassinated the Emperor of Han in Hedong, intending to shake the heart of the Taizu army and rescue the predicament of Shouchun. Taizu obeyed Guo Jia's strategy and withdrew his troops to Runan County, Yuzhou, and ambushed the pursuers in the forest near Shenxian County, capturing 20,000. Yuan Shu did not dare to pursue any further, and the two sides confronted each other on the border of Yu and Yang until the heavy snow blocked the road in December, and they each stopped their troops.

Winter is coming, and the Xuxian Academy is covered with a layer of white snow. In the empty square, there was a vast expanse of white, only the black stone scriptures stood silently, undisturbed by the changes in personnel.

When the little emperor just moved back to Xuxian, Xuxian was also under martial law for a while. Panic over the plague is one of the deepest scars in the memory of the human community. But as time went on to December, no new cases of scabies were found from the city to the countryside, which gradually made people feel relieved.

"It's still Duke Zhonghua's skill. I heard that before she went to Hedong, one of the people who got sore was sick and the other died. Taiwei Yang and the others were about to prepare a coffin for the emperor."

"Don't talk about the emperor, I don't know if that one can continue to be the emperor."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense? You haven't seen the whole November, and the emperor didn't even show his face? The emperor didn't show his face, but Xia Houchong's face was seen, and he was so frightened that he vomited on the spot ."

"Criticizing the emperor, can you turn it against me? Be careful to punish you for a disrespectful crime."

"The fact is that, whether I say it or not, it can't stop those high-profile dignitaries from running away from Meibing Pavilion. Dozens of inns around the Academy are closed."

"Alas, Emperor Han has only been in Xu County for a year. How come it has gone downhill like this? I don't know what to do in the future."

"If you want me to say, Yuan Shu is a person who can do poisonous things."

"Why, you're not going to go south to Yuan Shu, are you? Yuan Gonggong was beaten by Duke Cao. Are you looking for him? Why don't you look for Yuan Shao?"

"You guys, both the Cao family and the imperial court, treat you well! Now is a difficult time, should you abandon the old master?"

"This...this...the emperor has something unexpected, and the Cao family is not well guarded... Maybe the Cao family started it..."

"Do you believe what you say? The emperor is just a little flawed now, Meng Degong almost died under Shouchun City, and Zhonghuagong's academy is also drinking tea. You don't believe Zhonghua Duke Hua treats His Majesty with sincerity, so you must believe that they are not idiots."

Rumours are rampant, and Xu County is in the midst of great changes. Some stay, and more leave. The wide streets were scarred by muddy ruts, and only the silent residents would slowly sweep them away with brooms made of bamboo branches.

Asheng is busier.

There are a lot of external guest teachers. She wants the students from the famous schools and Mojia schools to not lose their studies, so she can only go to battle in person. The six-hour class a day made my throat hoarse, and now I can only use a pen instead of paper.

"At the end of the year, there should be another batch of graduates from Nandao." She came out of the Mo's courtyard with the help of the little maid Chuantan, and her voice was as soft as a feather, "Transfer someone here. , and the printing press."

"No, no. Master, please stop talking and protect your voice."

Asheng shut his mouth and walked slowly on the snow-covered square. The setting sun sheds half of the snow in an orange-red hue, with a warm aesthetic reminiscent of roasted sweet potatoes and frozen persimmons scorching hot on the stove.

The voices of the children came from the street outside the school palace.

"Can you get it?"

"You can lift me up a bit."

twittering, crisp like a chick. A Sheng's brows slowly stretched out.

Chuantan looked out from the gate: "Master, look, it's the children hanging ropes on the tree to pray for His Majesty."

I saw that after the glitz and bubbles dissipated, only the most simple hearts remain here.
