Chapter 256 The Battle of Guandu Begins

After the Three Dynasties, Lu Yi called Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Zhu Ran, Zhou Fang, Zhuge Liang and other younger generations over and asked them to listen to the command of Huang Yueying and Cao Jie.

Not for the other.

Just to be able to finish work on the other four telescopes in a hurry.

These younger generations are usually very bad-tempered and mischievous.

But when I arrived at Lu Yi's place, everyone was as well-behaved as a cat.

Afterwards, Cheng Pu called his only son Cheng Zi, Huang Gai's son Huang Bing, and Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu and asked them to study with the Lu family's children.

The fifteenth day of the first month.

Huang Yueying and Cao Jie directed the younger generation to build four other telescopes.

Lu Yi gave the other four telescopes to Zhao Yun, Chen Gong, Zhu Zhi, and Cheng Pu respectively.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Yi summoned Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji and other medical workers from Wujun University to examine the health of all the civil and military officials one by one.

Most civil and military officials were unwilling.

However, under Lu Yi's insistence, everyone still had to do it.

What shocked these civil and military officials was that many of them were in poor health.

For example, Chen Deng found something strange in his body.

Hua Tuo immediately prepared a medicinal material, boiled it into a soup, and asked Chen Deng to drink it.

Under the watchful eyes of all the civil and military officials, Chen Deng actually vomited out several tiny worms!
Chen Deng himself was immediately frightened to the point of weakness in his legs.

After Hua Tuo asked carefully, he found out that although Lu Yi forbade Chen Deng from eating raw fish, Chen Deng was greedy and often ate it secretly at night!

Not just him, but also his old father Chen Gui!
However, Chen Gui was not as lucky as Chen Deng.

Chen Gui was very old and weak.

Hua Tuo gave him medicine and Cui vomited out more than a dozen two-inch long worms.

Chen Gui fainted from fright.

Hua Tuo asked Chen Deng to prepare the funeral arrangements for Chen Gui.

After Hua Tuo's examination, he believed that Chen Gui's body had been basically hollowed out by these tiny insects.

Hua Tuo also checked Ling Tong's body.

After Ling Tong was seriously injured last time, although he was young, the wounds accumulated in his body and he was in urgent need of warmth and recuperation.

Lu Yi thought of Ling Tong's untimely death in history, so he immediately relieved him of all his posts and let him recuperate in the Lu family to prevent him from sneaking away.

Ling Tong was so angry that he almost cursed.

However, when he met Lu Yi's gaze, he hesitated and did not dare to speak.

Zhang Ji also checked for problems with Lu Ji and Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu.

Especially Huang Xu, who is very weak and often coughs.

Huang Zhong had sought out many famous doctors for him before, but to no avail.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ji actually found a way to treat it this time.

Lu Yi ordered Lu Ji, Huang Xu, and Ling Tong to stay in the Lu family and not leave Wu County without permission.

Huang Zhong was so excited that he almost cried when he saw that Zhang Ji had a way to cure his son's disease.

He always gets a son.

Before, I could only watch my son suffer.

He was able to find a cure at this time, and he was willing to bear it no matter what the cost.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Yi led all the civil and military officials to the immortal monument at Oua Port to pay homage to the souls of all the heroes who died in the war.

After paying homage to the immortal monument, Lu Yi led everyone to the Nantianmen.

The Nantianmen base had been laid before the Three Dynasties.

Yan Xiang and the craftsmen designed the drawings.

The entire Nantianmen is a hall.

The hall is supported by 88 huge columns.

Entering from the gate, there is an open space for civil and military officials to stand.

In front of the open space is a huge incense burner.

Behind the incense burner, there are 26 steps.

The stairs go from bottom to top, showing a trapezoid shape.

Starting from the bottom, there is a hero standing on the left and right of each staircase.

Each meritorious official will have a statue carved, wearing their court clothes and holding an ivory tablet with his name and official position engraved on it.

Each hero will face upward diagonally.

Eighteen steps, 36 heroes.

Eighteen steps up the eighteenth floor, there stood Lu Yi, the Lord of Jiangdong.

The eyes of all 36 heroes will converge on Lu Yi.

Lu Yi's sculpture will overlook the civil and military officials in the open space of the hall.

Behind Lu Yi is a wall with carved scenes of Lu Yi and 36 heroes discussing matters.

The dome of the hall is a picture of the sun, moon and stars.

The walls on both sides of the hall will be divided into 36 parts, with a mural painted on each part.

Each mural will depict the most glorious scenes in the lives of the 36 heroes.

Or point out the country.

Or killing enemies on the battlefield.

All civil and military officials stood on the foundation of Nantianmen, looking at the design drawings, their eyes shining: Wu Hou Lu Yi is fulfilling his promise step by step!

Thinking that as one of the 36 heroes, he could stand here together with Wu Hou Lu Yi for future generations to worship, all the civil and military officials were a little excited.

Zhang Zhao looked at the design drawings and even began to imagine the scene where he stood in the first position on Lu Yi's left hand!
Cheng Pu stood directly on the first left hand position of the craftsman's gesture, with his hands behind his back, looking triumphant.

All the civil and military officials burst into laughter.

Cheng Pu was not shy either and kept his head held high.Ling Tong, Zhu Ran, and Zhou Fang even stood over. Under the craftsmen's gestures, they stood where the 36 heroes were and looked at the officials.

Taishi Ci was also eager to try.

After all, he didn't stand over like Cheng Pu.

After staying at the foundation of Nantianmen for a long time, Lu Yi led everyone back to Ou'a Port.

Today is also the day when all civil and military officials leave Wu County and Wu County to take up their posts in various places.

The Nangong family has already prepared a boat and is waiting at the dock.

Lu Yi said goodbye to these civil and military officials one by one and sent them to the ship.

The originally noisy pier soon became deserted.

Lu Qiling is also here today.

Although she was about to give birth, she still insisted on sending Lu Bu.

Looking at Lu Bu, Lu Qiling said seriously: "Dad, I heard that you were in Tancheng before and encountered a surprise attack by Wen Chou cavalry. You abandoned the city and fled?"

Lu Bu was a little embarrassed and said, "Who, who said that?"

Lu Qiling had a gloomy face.

Seeing that he couldn't hold it back, Lu Bu sighed, glanced at Lu Yi from a distance, and complained: "Can you blame me? I am a dignified Marquis Wen, a former flying general, and this guy Lu Yi actually asked me to be a Tancheng County official." Order! I am a shitty magistrate!"

"If he doesn't respect me, why should I die for him?"

Lu Qiling said angrily: "What about now? If your husband really doesn't care about you, he will just remove all your duties and let you be a lazy person! Now you have made a big mistake, but your husband still doesn't make things difficult for you, and even allows you to go to Jingzhou to hold an important position. I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds!"

Lu Bu curled his lips and said, "Isn't this what it should be? I'm his father-in-law, and my father-in-law is bigger than Mount Tai! Besides, my ability is here, it's worth it!"

Lu Qiling took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said in a deep voice: "Dad, you can do it yourself! My daughter just wants to tell you one last time that your grandson is about to be born. When the time comes, you must make others look down on him and say that his grandpa is just A coward who relies on his daughter to get to power?"

Lu Qiling spread her hands and said: "My daughter doesn't matter, just treat it as deaf. However, if your grandson sees you in the future, avoids you, and says he hates you, don't blame your daughter for not saying nice things to you."

"Although you don't have a son, dad, your daughter has always considered herself a descendant of my Lu family."

"Your grandson is naturally your descendant."

"From now on, you have to have him take care of you until you die."

"If you do all the bad things now, and he will dislike you in the future, don't blame others!"

After saying that, he snorted, turned around and left with Liu Yu's help.

Lu Bu looked at Lu Qiling's leaving figure and scratched his head depressedly.

It wasn't until Zhu Zhi called him that Lu Bu turned around and walked towards the ship where Zhu Zhi was, while constantly looking back at Lu Qiling.

After arriving on the ship, Lu Bu said to Lu Qiling, who was standing next to Lu Yi in the distance: "What, my dear daughter, my father is here! You tell my father's grandson who is about to be born that his grandpa is not a coward, but a flying general. It's Marquis Wen, the enemy of ten thousand people! Don't embarrass him!"

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Lu Yi looked at Lu Qiling beside him curiously and said, "Baby, what did you say to your father?"

Lu Qiling said proudly: "What do you think?"

After a pause, Lu Qiling said again: "By the way, can I bring my mother-in-law and kiss them over from Guangling?"

Holding Lu Yi's arm, Lu Qiling pleaded with her face: "I'm about to give birth. There must be a family member watching by my side, so that I won't look lonely, lonely, and cold."

Lu Yi scratched the tip of her nose and said, "In the past, letting your mother and aunt stay in Guangling was to give your father a chance to think about Guangling and his family. Now that your father has gone to Jingzhou, they can naturally come over. ”

Lu Qiling chuckled, kissed Lu Yi on the face and said, "My husband is the best!"

After all the civil and military officials went to their respective posts, Wuxian County did not calm down.

Candidates from Jingzhou, Xuzhou and other places came to Wuxian one after another to prepare to take the first imperial examination on the first day of February.

On the 25th of the first lunar month, Lu Yi watched Zhuge Liang sort out the lists submitted by various government offices in the government office.

Lu Yi stood next to Zhuge Liang, holding tea and drinking it carefully while asking: "How many people do you think will take the exam this time?"

Zhuge Liang said: "So far, 510 people have been registered, and there are still some that I haven't had time to register yet."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang added: "The vast majority of them are young people with good reputations from various places."

Lu Yi nodded.

This is also impossible.

Although new paper has been developed with better quality and cheaper, it has not been put into use yet.

At present, candidates from all over the country can basically only be descendants of noble families.

Lu Yi asked again: "Is there anyone special?"

Zhuge Liang continued to register names and said, "There are seven people. I remember them very well."

Lu Yi smiled and said, "Which seven are they?"

Zhuge Liang said: "One is named Zhou Buyi. He is only ten years old and is the youngest among this batch of candidates. However, the documents submitted said that even though he is young, he has a photographic memory and can draw inferences from one instance. He is a child prodigy and the original candidate. Don’t drive Liu Xian’s nephew in Jingzhou.”

Lu Yi nodded.

In the original history, he was called a prodigy together with Cao Chong.

Later, he went to Xudu and studied with Cao Chong, and they had a good relationship.

However, it is said that after Cao Chong's death, Cao Cao felt that Zhou Buyi was too smart and could not be suppressed by Cao Pi, or that Cao Chong was lonely, so he sent someone to assassinate Zhou Buyi.

"One is called Liu Ba."

"The document says that Liu Biao, the former Jingzhou shepherd, called him many times, but he didn't answer the call. This time, he took the initiative to find the county magistrate and wanted to take the exam."

Lu Yi couldn't help laughing.

Liu Ba, this is not the Zi Chu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui said, "Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, if one person is gained, the world will be conquered; if one person dies, the Han Dynasty will be difficult to prosper"!

Unexpectedly, he would be caught in the imperial examination test in Wu County this time!
Zhuge Liang continued: "The other five are five brothers. The document says that these five brothers are also called 'Ma Family Wuchang' and are from Yicheng. The eldest is just over thirty years old, and the youngest is only 11 years old."

"The youngest one is only one year older than Zhou Buwei."

"Although his reputation is far less than that of Zhou Buyi, it is said that he is also a child prodigy with a photographic memory, and he especially likes military books."

"However, among the five brothers, the youngest is not the most powerful. According to the document, among the five brothers of the Ma family, the most powerful is the fourth, known as Baimei Ma Liang."

Lu Yi: "."

At this moment, Lu Ji walked in quickly from outside and said, "Brother, Mr. Liu asked me to send urgent information. It just came from Guandu."

Lu Yi took the bamboo tube from Lu Ji's hand, pulled out the cloth strip, and shook it open.

I saw scrawled words on the banner: "According to the information provided by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao regrouped and personally led 15 cavalry, [-] archers and infantry and other various types of troops on the tenth day of the first lunar month and went south to Xudu. The war was about to begin! According to Yuan Shao’s strategy, please Wuhou quickly reinforce a group of thundercart craftsmen and rush to Guandu—Pang Tong!”
