Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 249 Emperor Wei Wen?Emperor Wei Ren?stupidly can not tell
It is recorded in "Zhou Li · Kao Gong Ji" that there are six jobs in the country, and there are hundreds of workers and residences.

However, on the banks of the Ying River today, there is such a line in the school motto of Taixue: ——The six jobs of the country, all workers are the first!

Through this sentence, it can be seen that Taixue attaches great importance to Baigong.

Lu Yu specially built a workshop and hired a large number of craftsmen, which can explain the problem.

Of course, not everyone in Taixue is enthusiastic about all kinds of engineering subjects. Just like Cao Mu in the past, most Taixue students call themselves the pride of heaven, so how could they be willing to be a carpenter?

Besides, Taixue stipulates that each Taixue student only needs to master one or two hundred crafts courses, and they are not interested in carpentry. They can also learn forging and smelting in the future.

This kind of subject is closely related to the battlefield, and it will be a popular major in later generations.

Therefore, among the sixty Tai students, there was only a five-person team who really studied the subject of "carpentry".

Including Cao Cao's son - Cao Ang;
Huang Zhong's son - Huang Xu;
The descendants of the famous Zhuge family in Langya - "Zhuge Liang";
Xu Chu's son - Xu Yi;
And there is Dian Wei's son - Dian Man!
People like Xiahouheng and Xiahouba are not enthusiastic about the subject of "carpenter" at all.

Of course, the process of learning "carpenter" is very boring. Cao Ang, Xu Yi, Huang Xu, Zhuge Jun, and Dianman sat facing each other under the scorching sun and pulled the big saw, splitting long pieces of wood.

The wood fell down again and again, and the saw blade was broken and bent again and again. Every half an hour after pulling it, the saw teeth must be filed with a file to make the saw teeth sharp!

I also have to learn how to pull the milling bucket and flick the thread. If the ink thread is not played well, I get ink all over my hands and body, which is extremely embarrassing.

The so-called interlacing is like a mountain, and if you conquer a city, you may not be a good carpenter.

That is, Cao Ang, Huang Xu, Zhuge Jun, Xu Yi, and Dianman, these five honest people can hold their temper, keep studying, and keep trying.

And this legendary "wooden cow and horse" is even more bullshit...

With just a copy of "The Method of Making Wooden Cows and Flowing Horses" and a craftsman who doesn't know what "Wooden Cows and Flowing Horses" are, the six of them will complete an unprecedented "big project"!
huh... huh...

In the workshop, Zhuge Jun was fiddling with an ax and a plane, blood blisters had already been worn out on his hands, and his body was bruised from the impact. He felt that he couldn't lie flat when sleeping, and couldn't even hold chopsticks when eating.

With the cooperation of the other four people, it took seven or eight days to make a wooden cow that couldn't stand upright!
Not to mention transporting food and supplies, the wooden ox sat on it, wobbled and fell apart, and Zhuge Jun fell to the ground in a panic.

It's too far...

After all, Zhuge Jun crawled out, thought for a while and started discussing with a few friends.

"Obviously following the instructions in the book... No, no... Let's take a look at Mr. Lu's book "How to Make Wooden Cows and Horses", there must be something wrong!"

Zhuge didn't give up, and neither did Cao Ang, Huang Xu, Dianman, and Xu Yi.

The five of them, for various reasons...

There is an almost obsessive admiration for Lu Yu.

Therefore, Lu Yu said that if the wooden cow and horse can be made, they must make it.

"Is it here..."

Five people sat together, in the huge Taixue workshop, only the five of them continued to study tirelessly and tirelessly.

After seven or eight days of running-in, the five-person team has become more and more tacit.

With a charcoal pencil in his ear and a square on his waist, Zhuge Jun is silently drawing a picture...

And Cao Ang held a charcoal pen in his hand, and kept summarizing the previous failures, which corresponded one-to-one with the words in "How to Make Wooden Cows and Horses".

After discussing for a long while, Xu Yi and Dian Wei had more strength, so they continued to step on the wood with one foot and saw the wood with their arms up and down.

To know…

There are at least [-] or [-] processes to make a "wooden cow and horse", drawing blueprints, selecting wood, planing wood, drilling holes, and so on.

The most difficult part is the booster mechanism mentioned in "The Way of Making Wood, Cows and Horses", as well as the flywheel mechanism, gear mechanism, and de-handle linkage mechanism that made the five of them look confused.

This is the core of Mu Niu Liu Ma, and it is not as simple as a single-wheel or two-wheel transport vehicle.

The reason why the wooden cow and horse are widely used in the Bashu Mountains after they were invented is that the crank-link mechanism inside drives the flywheel through gears.

After the flywheel is running, the inertia of the flywheel gives the wooden cow a boost. In this way, the purpose of labor saving is achieved.

In addition, there is a braking mechanism, which is similar to the handbrake in the car in the previous life!
It can make wooden cows and flowing horses stand firm on slopes, and maintain an inertial speed when going uphill and downhill.

It sounds, just a few words, it seems very simple...

But the physical knowledge and principles that need to be used here are not so easy to understand.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if Lu Yu tried it himself by imitating "The Method of Making Wooden Cows and Flowing Horses", he might not be able to make such wooden cows and flowing horses!
"try again…"

Zhuge Jun, as the commander-in-chief, began to assign tasks again.

The five people in the workshop suddenly became busy again.

You know, a few students who can't even hold an ink fountain firmly are actually making wooden cows and horses.

There are many teachers and students who come here to pay attention every day, but... after seeing the messy wood in the workshop and the semi-finished products that may fall apart at any time, they all walked away disappointed.

"Zixiu, give up..." Xia Houba couldn't bear it anymore, and tried to persuade Cao Ang repeatedly. "It's too difficult for a wooden cow to flow a horse. If you do it like this, it will definitely be impossible to complete except for wasting wood."

"With this skill, why not make a few boxes for future wives and concubines to put clothes in!"

Xia Houba was sarcasm...

Huang Xu was still a little bit complaining, but Cao Ang laughed with a "puchi", "Zhongquan is right, if you really don't make it in the end, it's not bad to make these wood into boxes, waste recycling !"

Cao Ang is such a character, benevolent, filial, generous, easy to talk, a standard honest person...

In Taixue, he never felt superior just because he was the eldest son of Cao Sikong. On the contrary, he was the first to do the hardest and most tiring errands.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Yu, the head of the Taixue, was quite relieved.

Even for a moment, Lu Yu pondered, if Cao Ang's successor was Cao Ang, he would not be able to keep it together... There would be no tragedy of three families returning to Jin and five Huanhua.

It can be said that Lao Cao's character is suitable for conquering the world, and Cao Ang's character is very suitable for ruling the world.

In addition, there is another point, this Wei Wu hegemony is handed over to Cao Ang, at least, Lu Yu feels at ease.

This is a good emperor of benevolence and filial piety, Lu Yu even thought about it... Cao Ang is in power, no matter how he dies, he probably won't die, so he doesn't need to be extra cautious.

As for Cao Ang's posthumous name, Lu Yu helped him figure it out-"benevolence"!
——Emperor Wei Ren.

It's a pity that things backfired... Emperor Wu was followed by Emperor Wen, and Emperor Wen didn't exist yet. Where did Emperor Ren come from?
Of course, "Rendi" can be understood as "Rendi"!
Workshop in the afternoon.

Dian Man and Xu Yi slept on the mats crookedly. Like their fathers Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they belonged to people with great strength, but they didn't like to use their brains.

Normally, Zhuge Jun, Cao Ang, and Huang Xu would do whatever Zhuge Jun, Cao Ang, and Huang Xu asked them to do.

There's just one thing, the two of them must take a nap, otherwise... they will have a headache all afternoon.

At this moment, Xu Yi and Dianman had a similar dream. They dreamed that the wooden ox and the horse were built, filled with countless grains, and the wooden ox carried the grain. Jump to the clouds with the wooden cow and the flowing horse!

at this time…

"It's done...it's done!"

An exclamation interrupted the dream of Dianman and Xu Yi. They rubbed their sleepy eyes, but they saw...a "wooden cow" that seemed to be not bad, and a "flowing horse" that was not wobbly at least. "...

The most important thing was that Zhuge Jun was pushing them to move, and it was very easy for the naked eye to see.

Is this the booster device mentioned in the so-called "The Method of Making Wooden Cows and Flowing Horses"?

This…

After a long brain circuit, Dianman and Xu Yi finally came to their senses.

It was done, they made it, they did it.

"Kong Ming, we..."

Xu Yi and Dianman spoke in unison, and they seemed extremely excited.

"Yongsheng, don't be dazed, go and report to the chief, and say... we're done, it's done!" Zhuge Jun was also very excited...

Hearing this, Huang Xu ran out of the workshop like flying...

He wants to tell Chief Lu and Chief Cai the good news!

...

...

Shouchun City.

Shock!

Shouchun City, where 15 Yuan troops were stationed, failed to capture the Cao army with more than [-] troops.

Cao Cao was surprised, and Yuan Shu was also surprised.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Xun died, Ji Ling, who succeeded him... and became the new "General" of the Zhong family emperor, was so powerful.

Relying on the towering walls of Shouchun City and his resolute style of commanding troops, Ji Ling used this group of 15 Yuan troops whose morale had fallen to the bottom to stop the offensive of Cao Cao's [-] troops.

Huge damage on both sides...

More importantly, Cao Cao did not attack Shouchun City in one go, which was a fatal blow to the morale of Cao's army, but to Yuan Shu, it was tantamount to breathing heavily.

Today's Cao Jun can only surround Shouchun City and look for opportunities.

so so...

The problem that worried Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai the most appeared. After several days of heavy rain, there was waterlogging in Shouchun in the lowland area, and ordinary grain trucks could not cross it.

Cao Jun's follow-up food and grass could not reach the front line at all.

And this made Ben Minglang's situation suddenly fall into a huge crisis again.

Cao Jun Dazhai, the big tent of the Chinese Army.

"How long can our army's existing food last?" Cao Cao asked the food officer anxiously.

The food officer replied truthfully: "Thanks to Xun Lingjun's order early in the morning, let each soldier carry some food with him, so... now our army's food can last for a month!"

Is it a month?
Through the window, Cao Cao looked at the towering city wall of Shouchun.

Fake Yinlin He Yan once told Cao Cao that there were not many grain reserves in Shouchun City.

But, how much is not much?Can it last for a month?
Cao Cao didn't know...

So... the current situation has become a gamble to see whose food can't last.

"When will the follow-up food arrive?" Cao Cao then asked...

This…

The food officer shook his head, still reporting the truth. "It's hard to say, we have to see..." At the end of the talk, the grain official hesitated.

"What should I watch?" Cao Cao asked.

"It depends on the sky..." The food officer said helplessly: "If...it's raining all the time, then...the accumulated water will probably become bigger and bigger, the hillside will be slippery, and the uphill and downhill will become extremely difficult. Army rations..."

The food officer didn't finish his speech, but the meaning couldn't be clearer!

Look at the sky, it's the rainy season, and it's low-lying here again... This is the rhythm of running out of food.

Cao Cao's brows frowned heavily.

"I see... you step back!"

Hearing the words, the food officer bowed his head and slowly retreated... When he walked outside the big tent, he looked up at the sky, and there were dark clouds again, as if... another torrential rain!

The transportation of food is afraid that it will become more difficult.

After the food officer left...

Cao Cao raised his fist helplessly and slammed his fist on the copybook.

Xi Zhicai on the side saw Cao Cao's thoughts, and he said truthfully: "Cao Sikong, these days of heavy rain will not only restrict our army's food and grass, but will also make the siege more difficult. Yesterday's siege...it is true. The opponent's guards are well commanded, but there is no need for the help of this long drizzle."

As Xi Zhicai said.

Under the rain, the city walls will become more slippery, the ladders are extremely easy to slip, and it becomes even more difficult for soldiers to climb the ladders, not to mention, facing the rain with their heads up, the lack of sight, and the inability to transport the siege equipment …

These are not conducive to the siege side.

But... what can I do?

Now is the rainy season, there is no sunny day at all, so I have no choice.

How could Cao Cao fail to understand Xi Zhicai's meaning, huh...he let out a long breath, Xi Zhicai reminded him that under the rainy season, Shouchun City may not be captured even within a month.

And the rations accompanying the army are only enough for a month...

Xi Zhicai advised Cao Cao to prepare early.

"Let's besiege the city!" Cao Cao said, "We are short of food, how can Yuan Shu not be short of food? Let's see who can't bear it first!"

Cao Cao was betting that Yuan Shu would be unable to bear it earlier than him.

After all, with such a god-given opportunity, if it can't break the city?Well... there is such an opportunity again, I don't know it is the Year of the Monkey!

Aspiring to the Central Plains, Cao Cao didn't want to delay any longer.

"That's the only way to go." Xi Zhicai blinked his eyes, he was full of strategy, but facing Yuan Shu who couldn't shrink back, what could he do?

Not to mention him, even Guo Fengxiao, even Xun Gongda, can't find a strategy to break the city!
Now, I can only do my best and obey the destiny!
I just hope Yuan Shu can't take it one step at a time!
...

...

An urgent letter was sent back to Xu Capital from the front line.

Shangshutai…

Originally, the great victory at the front line should have put Xun Yu and Xun You at Shangshutai in a good mood, but... the constraints of food almost cast a thick layer of haze on their moods.

"Unexpectedly, Chen Guo has food, but it can't be transported to the front line?" Xun Yu murmured...

His eyebrows condensed into an upside-down character almost instantly...

"Uncle, Shouchun City is originally a low-lying area..." Xun You explained. "Once it rains, water slopes will be formed. These water slopes are nothing but steep slopes that most affect food transportation..."

"Once the existing grain trucks encounter rain, it will become extremely difficult, even dangerous, whether going uphill or downhill... According to previous records, this season's Shouchun is the rainy season... Wait until the rain completely Stop, don't know when it will be."

Many people must not understand the impact of the rainy season during this period.

You know, the rainy season of the Little Ice Age was no joke.

Because of the Little Ice Age, the weather in Dahan is generally capricious. In June, in the hot summer, hail can be as big as chicken eggs, let alone rain...

In the coldest weather, rainwater will freeze quickly. Just imagine the steep and icy uphill and downhill... It takes a lot of effort for people to walk, let alone a grain truck.

It can be said that in this rainy season, the food roads on the front line have been completely broken, and there is no possibility of repairing them.

"This…"

Xun Yu still frowned. "Is there any other way, such as... transporting some food to the front line of Shouchun from other routes?"

"I've considered it!" Xun You waved his hand. "In addition to the road of Chen Guo, there is only the road of Xiapi and Guangling in Xuzhou. It is precisely that Xiapi and Guangling are Lu Bu's territory. If we are not careful, maybe...our food will fall into Lu Bu's hands. .”

Speaking of this, Xun You paused and said with emotion: "Uncle also knows that Lu Bu has never been a trustworthy person."

"This is difficult..." Xun Yu frowned even tighter...

Could it be that with such a god-given opportunity, the city of Shouchun could not be captured?
Do you really want to resign yourself to fate?
Thinking of this, Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and looked up to the sky through the window helplessly.

But at this time...

whoosh…

Xun Yu suddenly thought of something, to be precise, he thought of a brilliant title, a name that can always create miracles - Yinlin!Lu Yu!

That's right, there is an unwritten agreement in Cao Ying... that is, if you have difficulties, you can find Lu Yu. The so-called... Lu Yu helps, the more you help, the busier you get... Ah no, it is Lu Yu who helps, the busier you are, the more you help!

Besides, is there any difficulty in this world that Yin Lin cannot solve?

Immediately, Xun Yu's eyes opened, and he blurted out subconsciously, "Gongda, what is Lu Sinong doing recently?"

"Except for the implementation of the new agricultural policy for civilian villages and military villages...that is..." Xun You replied truthfully, but after half a sentence, he seemed to have remembered something.

All of a sudden, his face became much more serious, but in this seriousness, there was a bit of joy.

"In Taixue... President Lu built a workshop, and he is ordering Taixue students to learn one of the 'wooden arts' among the hundred crafts!"

In fact, these are not the point, the point is the last sentence.

"And now, these Tai students are working together to create a utensil called 'Wooden Niu Liuma'. I heard that this wooden Niu Liuma can transport military rations. Once it is made, no matter it is a shallow or steep slope, it will be as smooth as walking on the ground!"

Xun You's words are swearing...

Of course, the reason why I know so much is because Xun Yu's eldest son, Xun Yun, reported it to Xun You when he returned home yesterday every Friday.

Although Xun Yun is Xun Yu's son, he is closer to Xun You, probably because of the same seniority, and usually worships Xun You as his teacher.

Therefore, Xun You knows a little about the recent movements of Taixue.

Precisely, because he knew something, and because of this "wooden cow and flowing horse", his eyes widened suddenly, and at this moment, his heart throbbed again and again!

"uncle…"

Before Xun You could speak, Xun You grabbed his arm.

It seems that Xun Yu was even more excited than his nephew Xun You when he heard the "shoals" and "steep slopes" of the wooden cows and horses walking on the flat ground.

"Let's go, you and I will go to Taixue now!"

"Go and see this wooden cow and horse!"

"Also go and pay a visit to our skilled craftsman—President Lu! Sinong Lu!"

The skill of speaking...

Xun Yu and Xun You have disappeared in Shangshutai.

After all, they are literati, but at this moment they are faster than rabbits!
