Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 150 Chapter 149

In ancient military camps, it was not easy to train elite troops.

You need to dabble in all aspects, such as knives, guns, and arrows. These basic weapons must be used handy. Another thing is that you can't still face sinking water in the face of difficult situations.

Simply summed up, there are two aspects, one is bravery, and the other is courage.

Bravery sounds more difficult to train between the two, but in fact, it is the opposite. Courage is the most important thing, because it requires you to remain calm and calm when facing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, life and death. , It is almost impossible for soldiers who have not experienced bloody battles to have.

Therefore, the elite are often called the elite soldiers of a hundred battles. Such an army absolutely possesses martial arts and courage.

On the school field of Runan County Mansion, Cao Cao watched from afar the trilogy that Xiahoudun had mentioned before. Whether it was the killing spirit during the practice or the military appearance displayed, it was really hard to believe that these 500 talents had only joined the army for two months.

"Meet Sikong!" Under the protection of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Cao Cao approached the team, and the 500 people shouted in unison, quite like an elite soldier.

Cao Cao nodded and slowly passed the rows of sergeants, looking straight into their eyes.

Martial arts can be shown in drills, at least you can get a glimpse of the leopard, but courage can only be judged after going to the battlefield.

There is also a little trick to judge in advance, and that is the eyes.

The eyes of the elite of all battles are very indifferent, like ice and water, without waves.

And the army in front of them, when facing the two peerless generals of the imperial court, Sikong and Dianwei Xuchu, let alone be as quiet as a virgin, it does not have the restlessness in the eyes of ordinary people.

Based on this alone, it can be determined that the people who lead this team must have specially trained them in terms of courage.

Cao Cao watched the team of 500 people very carefully, walked back and forth twice before walking aside and asked in a deep voice, "What do you two think?"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked at each other, and it was Dian Wei who spoke first, "Isn't it the veterans who used it to fool you, Sikong? During the rehearsal just now, I saw that they are very skilled in using ring-shoulders, and they are also very skilled in combined strikes." There are rules, two months of recruits are unlikely."

Xu Chu also agreed: "Those boys dare to look at me without avoiding it, and I don't look like a recruit."

Cao Cao laughed heartily at this remark. Who is Cao Hong? He is an old team member who started his career. He is an absolutely trustworthy brother. of.

It can be basically confirmed that this person's ability to lead troops is definitely not something in the pool, and I am afraid that he will not lose to Zihe.

He breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the leader.

"The last general pays homage to Sikong!" The 26-year-old young general had a resolute face and calm eyes, and his calmness was not like that of an ordinary military lord.

Cao Cao looked at him, looked up and down, and finally even walked around him in a circle, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Finally, his eyes fell on his pair of rough hemp shoes, and he immediately made a movement that made everyone dumbfounded. He bent down and carefully re-tied the loose hemp shoes of the young military marquis with both hands. .

who is he?He is Cao Cao, when he was Sikong in the dynasty, there was an existence of one man under one man and more than ten thousand people, but now he is on the barracks and school grounds, tying up the loose belt for a military marquis, not to mention the young military marquis himself, even The sergeants around were all dumbfounded and stopped their movements.

The [-] recruits he trained cast envious looks, even honored ones.

Cao Cao, who stood up again, breathed a sigh of relief, and patted the young Junhou's chest, "Chen Dao, Chen Shuzhi."

"Sikong!" Chen Dao bowed his hands, lowered his head and joined hands, his excitement was beyond words.

He is from Runan, Yuzhou. If history has not changed, Liu Bei served as the shepherd of Yuzhou and led the army in Peicheng for the past two years, and Chen Dao was Liu Bei who defected during this time.

It's a pity, when he was under Liu Bei's tent, he didn't have much chance to express himself, because during that time, Liu Bei was either fleeing or on the way to flee, and he was so ambitious.

When he was with Liu Bei, he and Zhao Yun were often mentioned at the same time. Both of them are loyal and unparalleled people. It is a pity that Zhao Yun's brilliance is too bright, and it is inevitable that he will be inferior in comparison.

When it comes to Chen Dao's martial arts, it's hard to judge due to his lack of record in battles with fierce generals, but his ability to lead troops is definitely top-notch in the world.

During the Battle of Yiling, Lu Xun attacked Liu Bei with fire, and the [-]-mile company battalion was engulfed in flames. At the same time, the Jiangdong army rushed to kill. In this desperate situation, Chen Dao took hundreds of white scorpion soldiers he had trained to protect him all the way. Liu Bei broke out of the siege, and his means were extraordinary.

Of course, during this period of time, Cao Cao didn't know that Chen Dao had such abilities, and he showed his attitude of being a corporal, which was also out of multiple considerations.

First, the fierce generals in the army were killed one after another, so there was a great need to cultivate generals who could shoulder heavy responsibilities from among the rookies, and Chen Dao in front of him was one of them.

Second, win people's hearts. He is confident that the actions just now are not only for Chen Dao, but also for all the sergeants on the school field. I, Cao Cao, have always loved and respected capable people.

In the current season of successive defeats and fluctuating military morale, such a move is not unwise.

Of course, there is another point, which also comes from Cao Cao's sincerity. Who can say that a man who can write "Duke Zhou vomits and feeds, the world returns to his heart" and forgets his shoes to greet him is not eager for talents?
"Come back to Xuchang with me, that's where you can really show your strengths." Cao Cao held Chen Dao's hand and said earnestly.

Chen Dao was a little dazed, it was unprecedented for a recruit to be promoted to a military lord, and now he was treated so courteously by Cao Cao and had to be brought back to Xuchang, he seemed a little dazed.

"Why, Uncle Zhi is not willing?" Cao Cao was a little hopeful.

"The last will not dare!"

Chen Dao hurriedly bowed to thank him, "I am willing to obey Sikong's order, and I will not hesitate to do anything!"

Whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they are quite good at handling people's hearts.

From this point of view, Sun Shiwan is a bit worse.

Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed loudly.

He is really happy. In the past half a year, Liu Bei's defection, Anfeng's defeat and Xiaoguan's defeat have occurred successively. Several major events have caused him headaches. He lost troops and generals, and wasted money and food. He needed new recruits to enrich his military camp.

Chen Dao was capable, and he firmly believed in this, not because of what Xu Chu and Dian Wei said just now, but because of his inner affirmation of him.

In the end, Cao Cao didn't want to tell Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and others to pay more attention to the new recruits in the army in the future, and never let the situation of burying generals happen.

The scenery in March is cold and cold in spring.

In order to prepare for the wedding of Lin Mo and Lu Lingqi, the whole Pengcheng was very busy.

Lin Mo is also very busy. In addition to studying the red tape on the wedding day, he is currently studying composting.

The invention that the old father-in-law confessed to achieve immediate results in a short period of time and at the same time contain technical barriers can only be fertilizer.

Quyuan plows and keel waterwheels can only greatly increase the sown area, but the disadvantages of fertilizer use in this era cannot be reversed.

The fertilizers used in the Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties were mostly organic fertilizers such as human and animal manure and straw. Although this kind of fertilizer is rich in organic matter and various nutrients, it can provide nutrients for crops, but the release of nutrients is relatively slow and the fertilizer effect period is long. .

This will lead to a decrease in output year by year in newly reclaimed farmland, and it will not be reduced when it is finally reduced to a fertilizer planting area.

The improvement of fertilizers and the use of various inorganic fertilizers can make up for this shortcoming. The characteristics of inorganic fertilizers are that they release nutrients quickly, but their fertilizer effects are short. As long as they are used in combination, the output during autumn harvest will definitely increase.

Lin Mo can roughly memorize the production of various inorganic fertilizers, not because his memory is amazing, but mainly because the soil method does not have much technical content. It is nothing more than paying attention to the problem of good proportions. Quite a few, some even personally participated in the production.

The simplest nitrogen, ammonium and phosphorus compound fertilizer is the base fertilizer that grinds animal bones into powder.

氨肥制作则是用牛粪、豆粉和熟石膏按1:1:10的比例混合后在土窑里密封三天即可完成，同时在施肥的过程中再按1:3的比例兑水，就可完成整个流程了。

The materials used for other similar sulfur and nitrogen fertilizers are even more different, but the principles are similar. Lin Mo, who came out of the countryside before crossing, is still very familiar with this.

But no matter what kind of fertilizer it is, it is inseparable from the assistance of plaster of paris. Fortunately, it is not too difficult to obtain plaster of paris.

To say that the technical content is definitely not very high, but the technical barriers are indeed leveraged.

Whether it is the matching ratio of various materials, the number of days the earthen kiln is sealed, or the production of plaster of paris, these other princes have no way of understanding.

Of course, the disadvantages also come from it, because the sowing area is extremely large, and the personnel and space invested in making fertilizer are also a big problem. Fortunately, the materials used are extremely cheap.

In terms of personnel, in order to be able to keep these parameters strictly confidential, all the people used by Lin Mo are veterans in the military camp who have retired due to disabilities.

These people are all disabled now, and they may not be able to find normal means of earning a living. With a meager pension, once it is used up, the rest of their lives will be very miserable.

But now, Lin Mo's local method of making fertilizer requires a lot of labor, and these people just come in handy.

The old father-in-law was very happy to hear this.

In the past, it wasn't that he didn't know the miserable life of these veterans after they left the barracks, but there was nothing he could do, the number was too huge, and he was really powerless.

It's all over now, the son-in-law's arrangement seems to have relieved him of his uneasy feelings.

As for money, no problem, the son-in-law said he would make money himself, so the old father-in-law could hum a ditty with his legs crossed, very comfortable.

The most critical question is that these people are very reliable, their family members are all on their own territory, brothers who were born and died together, Lu Bu still trusts them not to leak these parameters.

As for the results, Lu Bu said to his son-in-law that although he put up a thumbs up with a smile on his face, he still had some reservations in his heart.

He himself planted land when he was a child. Over the past two years, with the stability of the land, his understanding of agriculture has gradually deepened. The output of a new land must have decreased year by year, until it remained stable after a low level.

But his son-in-law told him that the yield and quality of all the fields using these fertilizers this year must have increased, and the quality will also be greatly improved, which is completely contrary to his cognition.

This is not a question of overturning cognition, but that it is too shocking.

If these humble fertilizers can produce such a heaven-defying effect after being simply mixed by him, the people in the world will be able to eat two full meals a day in the future.

Moreover, even in a year of famine, there will be food reserves to deal with risk shocks.

At the same time, the taxes you collect will also show a virtuous circle of steady improvement.

One goes up and down the other, it won't take a few years for Cao Cao to be crushed by comprehensive strength, right?

Just a simple longing, Lu Bu, who was lying on the lazy chair made by Lin Mo, actually laughed out of Kuku's voice.

"Brother, I know that your big wedding is coming, Brother Yu, I have been traveling day and night, at least I didn't delay this big happy event." Ruo Rong, who came back from the northern kingdom, was full of travel and dust, looking a little haggard.

"How is the matter going?" Lin Mo was more concerned about this matter.

"Indeed, as Brother Xian said, I gave money directly, but he really didn't dare to accept it, even though I said a lot of things for self-protection, that person was very suspicious.

Later, I said that I wanted to buy war horses from Youzhou and sell them in the Central Plains. I was afraid that the passes along the way would be difficult, so I had to ask him for help, so I accepted the money. " Ruo Rong drank hot tea and told about his hardships.

"Where's the ledger that records the transactions between the two of you?" Lin Mo asked again.

"Don't worry, everything is clearly written." Ruo Rong took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms.

It clearly recorded the commission charged by the opponent for each horse. The silk cloth alone is not very useful. As long as it turns out that all these horses have flowed into his own camp, Yuan Shao's mentality will definitely burst.

"No, it should record the commission for [-] horses." Lin Mo looked at Ruo Rong suspiciously.

The corner of the latter's mouth was slightly drawn, showing a smug expression, "The Northern Kingdom is under Yuan Shao's control, and the price for horse dealers bringing back a war horse from Youzhou is too high. Many people choose to purchase in Guanzhong and Bingzhou. The Youzhou war horse lowered and lowered.

The money I brought was enough to buy [-] war horses. Our brothers are connected by flesh and blood. Brother Yu didn't dare to lie, so he made the difference, so of course he brought back all the war horses. "

This person was a little messed up, but he did it pretty well. Lin Mo returned the silk cloth to Ruo Rong in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank the prefect Ruo Rong."

"You're welcome, my brother"

After reacting, Ze Rong looked at Lin Mo in a daze, his eyes were moist, "My dear brother, what did you call me just now?"

"Langya Governor, Ruo Governor, don't worry, Lord Yuezhang has already agreed, and the silver seal and blue ribbon will be sent to your house in a few days."

For a moment, Ruo Rong felt that all the energy and blood in his body had stagnated. Is Ruo Rong the prefect?
I finally became the prefect?

With a plop, he really knelt down, grabbed Lin Mo's sleeves and wiped the tears from his eyes, choked up and said, "My dear brother, you are really my reborn parents, brother Yu's life will be entrusted to you from now on."

Diu Lin Mo pushed him away in disgust, and said in a deep voice: "Langya thirteen counties, the seven county magistrates are former students of the Chen family, and even the county magistrate is from the Chen family. Now that you are in this position, Whether you can be steady or not depends on your own ability."

"Don't worry, brother Yu, brother Yu has been standing in Xuzhou for so many years, he must have some means."

Well, there are indeed many people who died at your hands. I don't believe you have no means.

The recent reach of the Chen family is a bit too long, and the only one that can contend is the Lu family, which has no desire to compete for supremacy. I hope that after Ruo Rong joins, the situation of Xuzhou's dominant family can be improved.
