Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 112 Meeting Cui Jun
The next day, the elders, pavilion chiefs and others from the six surrounding villages gathered in Huangshui Township. Everyone had felt the abnormality of the weather recently, and when the three pavilion chiefs mentioned it, they were all shocked.

Because the water in the rivers and wells was still there, everyone originally thought that the weather was unusually hot and did not think that there was a drought. Now that they were reminded, they all suddenly realized what was going on.

Afterwards, Qian Li came forward and explained the four preventive measures that had been decided to everyone one by one.

This was someone Liu He specifically named. Qian Li already had some reputation in various villages, and Liu He wanted to use this opportunity to further enhance his prestige and make it easier for him to act in the future. This made Qian Tingzhang extremely grateful.

The six townships certainly had no objection to this. They all expressed their absolute approval of Huangshui Township's approach and agreed that Huangshui Township would carry out overall coordination. Everyone obeyed orders unanimously.

Liu He still handed this important task to Qian Li, and no one had any objection.

Severe drought is no joke. If you are not careful, your family will be destroyed and you will be displaced. Many people have experienced this hardship before, so when Liu He and others raised their calls, almost all the villagers responded.

After just a few days, everyone began to take action enthusiastically.

More than half a month later, the sun was still shining brightly in the sky, and no rain had fallen. Many villagers became more convinced of what Liu He and others said, and worked even harder.

On this day, Liu He personally led dozens of soldiers of the Anmin Army to a river on the east side of Huangshui Township to dredge the water.

This river is formed by three small streams flowing down from the Taihang Mountains converging in a canyon. When it flows into Huangshui Township, a tributary is split off and flows northward.

A few years ago, due to a small mountain flood, this tributary was blocked by rocks, resulting in more than 30 households in the north losing their water source.

Liu He rolled up his sleeves and took part in the battle himself. Everyone was encouraged and worked hard, and soon cleared a waterway of dozens of feet.

However, good things come to those who wait, and then we encountered a difficult problem.

There is a huge rock lying in the ditch. Not only is the rock huge, but its roots have been stuck in the river for a long time. Even with the combined efforts of three or four people, they are unable to move it at all.

"Move aside, let me try!" Liu He walked over, and the militiamen quickly stepped aside.

Liu He was born with supernatural powers, and his reputation for bravery had long spread throughout the villages, so these people were somewhat excited to see Liu He display his supernatural powers.

Liu He took a horse stance, concentrated his energy on his dantian, placed his hands on the boulder, and exerted force suddenly!

"Hah!" The boulder shook slightly, and Liu He's face turned red.

"Mr. Liu is so mighty!" The local militiamen nearby cheered for Liu He.

"Crack..." Liu He lifted the huge rock more than an inch out of the river channel, and it rubbed against other rocks next to it, making bursts of noise.

However, the boulder was too heavy after all. Liu He knew that if he continued like this, he would not be able to lift it up in one breath, and would be injured by the recoil force. So he had to put it down slowly.

"Huh..." Liu He's face flushed, and he let out a long breath, "This boulder is really heavy, it is estimated to be no less than two thousand kilograms, Liu is powerless to do anything."

Everyone couldn't help but look a little disappointed. Even Liu He couldn't be pushed. What else could they do?

"Okay, let's forget about it. Let's go back and get some tools, bypass this boulder, and dig a new river channel. Even though it will take more time, it's the only way." After thinking about it, everyone decided that this was the only way.

At this moment, a figure walking over from a distance caught Liu He's attention.

This man looked younger than Ye Xiang, more than seven feet tall, wearing a Xiaoyao scarf on his head, a soapberry robe, and a sword on the left side of his waist. He looked quite dignified, not like an ordinary farmer's son, and Liu He had never seen such a man in the surrounding area.

"This young man looks dignified and elegant. Since he has come to the territory of Huangshui Township, I should go up to greet him. Don't let people think that the people of this township have no manners."

Liu He rolled down his sleeves, dusted off his body, and walked towards the man.

"Greetings, sir. My surname is Liu, my name is He, and I am nineteen years old. I see that you have an extraordinary demeanor and do not seem to be from this town, so I came to pay my respects."

The young man looked at Liu He, smiled back, and said, "Thank you, Young Master Liu. I am Cui Jun from Anping County, seventeen years old this year. I am traveling around to study at the order of my father. Because the weather is hot, I am thirsty. I saw a family here, so I took the liberty to come here and ask for a drink of water."

When Liu He heard the name "Cui Jun", it was as if a bolt from the blue hit his heart!
"Cui Jun! Cui Zhouping! The Four Friends of Zhuge! Oh my God, I actually met such an awesome historical figure. Haha, I can't let him go, I absolutely can't let him go!"

Zhuge Liang is the idol of many Three Kingdoms fans. When talking about Zhuge Liang, one cannot help but mention his experience of farming and studying in Longzhong.

At that time, Zhuge Liang had four close friends, namely Cui Jun (Cui Zhouping), Xu Shu (Xu Yuanzhi), Shi Tao (Shi Guangyuan), and Meng Jian (Meng Gongwei). All five of them could be said to have the talent to govern the country.

Among the five people, Zhuge Liang became the prime minister of Shu Han, Xu Yuanzhi, Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei all served in Cao Wei. Only Cui Zhouping, whose father was one of the Three Dukes, had served as the General of the Tiger Guards and the Prefect of Hexi. But later for some unknown reason, he resigned from his official position, traveled around Jingxiang, and then completely disappeared in history books.

Cui Jun's father, Cui Lie, was a famous scholar of the time and the grandson of the great Confucian scholar Cui Yan. Cui Lie had a reputation for virtue since he was young. If history had not changed, he should have been the Chief Justice, one of the Nine Ministers of the dynasty. Later, in the second year of Zhongping, which was 185 AD, with the help of Madam Cheng, the mother-in-law of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, he spent five million yuan to buy the position of Minister of the Interior, one of the Three Dukes, and later became the Grand Marshal.

In the original history, because General Cui openly opposed Dong Zhuo many times, and his son, Cui Zhouping, responded to the alliance initiated by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to fight against Dong Zhuo, Cui Lie was captured and imprisoned by Dong Zhuo, and later died in the rebellion of Li Jue and Guo Si.

So, in fact, Cui Zhouping was a family of loyal heroes. In addition, Liu He himself had noble sentiments and extraordinary abilities. Therefore, in his previous life, Liu He always had a good impression of this historical figure.

Cui Jun saw that Liu He was in a daze for some reason and felt a little confused.

"Master Liu? Master Liu?"

After Cui Jun's repeated calls, Liu He finally came to his senses and quickly tried to calm himself down.

"So you are the son of Cui Tingwei. I am so sorry for your disrespect! I have some water here, just drink it!"

Liu He took his water bag and handed it to Cui Jun, but Cui Jun became even more confused.

"How does Master Liu know who my father is? And how does he know what position he holds now? Master Liu's last name is probably the descendant of a prince in the court. If so, I am really sorry for my poor eyesight!"

Of course, Liu He said this on purpose to arouse Cui Jun's curiosity about him so that he would have the opportunity to spend more time with him and win him over.

Liu He laughed heartily and said, "Haha, I am not the descendant of a noble in the imperial court. My father is just a village head here. Although I am a relative of the Han Dynasty, my ancestor, the Prince of Guangling, rebelled and caused chaos, and our family has long been in decline. It's better not to mention it!"

Cui Jun and Cui Zhouping, this is the author's reasoning below the main text two chapters ago. This is the first of the three things that the divine cat said. The next two will appear soon.
