Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"Congratulations, my lord, Yide has escaped from Xudu." Xu Shu said.

"Seeing Yide come back, my uneasy heart finally stabilized."

Liu Bei seemed excited, but he didn't want to talk about Zhang Fei.

He deliberately changed the subject, and said, "Yuanzhi, why did you come to me?"

Xu Shu invited Liu Bei to the house, opened a detailed military map, and pointed to Lu'an and other locations: "According to the news from our spies, Sun Ce has already taken down Lu'an, so they will annex Runan in the next step. Then threaten Xu Du."

Regarding the fact that Sun Ce had raised troops, Liu Bei had also learned about it, and was not surprised by it.

"Although Cao Cao is critically ill, Cao Ang is in charge of Xudu's affairs. Not long ago, he fought a battle in Xuzhou and defeated Yuan Shao's former subordinate Zhu Ling. Under Chen Yang's preaching, he temporarily frightened some dissidents in the north. At the same time, it can stabilize Cao Jun’s morale.”

Xu Shu's fingers moved slightly, landing on Wancheng and other places in the north of Xinye, and continued: "If Cao Ang is completely stabilized, they will not just stick to Xudu and other places. Although Sun Ce has already captured Liu'an, Runan is not It is easy to capture, and they will definitely stand in a stalemate for a while, which can delay part of Cao's troops."

He raised his head to look at Liu Bei, and said in a deep voice, "My lord and Chen Yang have a grudge, so they will not let Xinye go first. Before Cao Jun goes south, we can take the initiative to attack quickly, and cooperate with Sun Ce to catch Cao Jun by surprise."

"Yuanzhi, are you saying that we want to acquire Wancheng?" Liu Bei asked.

"That's right! We can't avoid a fight with Cao Ang."

Xu Shu said: "Besides, Xinye is a small place, and the Lord is a person who has achieved great things. How can he live here?"

This sentence directly spoke to Liu Bei's heart, and he also disliked Xinye for a long time.

He quickly asked: "Yuanzhi, tell me, what should we do?"

Xu Shu's finger returned to the map: "Sun Ce stationed troops in Liu'an, Cao Ang had to spread his forces to resist Sun Ce, we can take this opportunity to quickly capture Wancheng, occupy a favorable position, and plan other plans, so Cao Ang will be overwhelmed , benefit us."

"You're right, since that's the case, we will send troops to Wancheng tomorrow!"

Liu Bei felt that his blood was boiling, and he didn't return the soldiers and horses he borrowed from Liu Biao. Although they were not many, they were full of confidence.

"It's not in a hurry now, because Sun Ce hasn't done anything to Runan yet, we need to wait for a suitable opportunity."

As Xu Shu said, he bowed and bowed: "The lord is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and I am willing to give advice to the lord to calm the world!"

"it is good!"

Liu Bei was in a good mood, and he finally realized the importance of having a military advisor.

With Xu Shu by his side now, he is like a tiger with wings added.

He must repay Chen Yang and the Cao family a hundredfold for the enmity he once had in Xudu!

"And Yide, was he really released by Guan Yu?"

Liu Bei was thinking again, he was afraid that something might be wrong, but he didn't question Zhang Fei directly, but buried this idea deep in his heart.

-

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is coming.

Because something happened to Cao Cao, Chen Yang and the others were not as happy as before.

However, when spring came, Chen Deng brought them good news that the reservoir had been completed.

Chen Yang and the others couldn't care less about the wind and snow outside, and rushed to the reservoir construction site immediately, and found that the reservoir was really built by him, covering a large area, and part of the river water has been intercepted, but the storage in the reservoir The amount of water is not much.

"My lord, what do you think?" Chen Deng took them on a tour, introduced the various structures of the reservoir, and finally asked.

This reservoir is not much different from what Chen Yang saw in later generations, except for the absence of those modern facilities. It only took more than two years to make it!"

Not only is the speed fast, but it has not caused public resentment.

All the people near the reservoir are well settled, and the appearance of this reservoir is definitely of epoch-making significance.

"The main reason is that you gave too much money and food, General. The nearby villagers, and even the refugees we recruited, learned that they have money and food for the construction of the reservoir. " Chen Deng explained.

"You guys are doing a great job, all the workers have worked hard!"

Cao Ang exclaimed, "You are well rewarded!"

Chen Deng said gratefully, "Thank you, my lord!"

"Even if spring starts this year, if there is another spring drought, we are not afraid of not having enough water for irrigation!"

Chen Yang said: "Nowadays in winter, until the beginning of spring, it is temporarily impossible to cultivate, and there is no need for water. You have to intercept the river water as much as possible, and first add enough water to the reservoir before it can play a role."

"I see!"

Chen Deng said.

They inspected the reservoir to make sure that there is no problem at all, and wait for the official use test, and then it can be promoted on a large scale.

"Zian, is your reservoir really useful?"

Xun Yu has always maintained some doubts about the existence of the reservoir.

Through the means of regulation, the construction of the reservoir did not cause various problems, but a lot of materials and money were invested in it. If a useless thing is built, wouldn't it be a waste?

"Wen Ruo, you can rest assured!"

Chen Yang patted his heart and assured him: "The reservoir will only play a role when there is a drought. There is no drought yet, so of course we won't see the effect."

Xun Yu thought for a long time, and said, "Hope is not wasted!"

He still doesn't quite believe that the practice of storing water is really useful.

After returning from the reservoir, two days later, it will be the Spring Festival. The weather is getting warmer and the ice and snow are melting.

However, the weather in spring this year is a bit strange.

Normally, it doesn't rain much in early spring, and even if it does, it's just a drizzle, but now it's very different, suddenly it's raining heavily.

This heavy rain lasted for three days at a time, and the torrential rain washed the ground crazily, as if it wanted to clean everything on the ground.

It was also this heavy rain that wiped out the lofty ambitions of Liu Bei and Sun Ce.

Floods may also occur near the Yangtze River Basin during the heavy rain, and the roads are slippery when it rains, making it inconvenient for long-distance marches.

Chen Yang hid at home every day, looked at the heavy rain outside, shook his head and said, "This rain is so strange!"

"Husband, it's going to rain, we can't control it, but after the rain, it will be more conducive to the people's farming, which is also a good thing."

Zhang Chunhua hugged his daughter and came to Chen Yang's side. She didn't know much about agriculture and spoke more casually.

Xiao Ru'er opened her eyes slightly, and raised a pair of small hands to ask Chen Yang to hug her.

Chen Yang hugged her fondly in his arms, and said happily, "Xiao Ru'er, when will you be able to call me father?"

Xiao Ru'er can't speak yet, but she seems to be amused by Chen Yang, dancing and dancing, very naughty.

"Husband, it's so nice when you're at home, we don't want you to go out again." Zhen Mi said.

"It's my fault for making my husband so busy for the Cao family!" Cao Ning said with self-blame.

"Silly girl!"

Chen Yang said distressedly: "There are some things, not because I don't want to do them, so I don't have to do them."

"Husband, our sisters have something to discuss. You can take Xiao Ru'er to play, and you can't eavesdrop on our conversation."

Zhang Chunhua's eyes rolled, and she didn't know what bad idea suddenly came to her, so she dragged Cao Ning and Zhen Mi back to the warm pavilion.

"You are so mysterious, what are you going to do?"

Chen Yang was just about to eavesdrop.

boom!

The door to the warm pavilion was closed, completely cutting off his idea.
