Chapter 332: Ploughing by the Plough

The news of Yuan Shao's defeat and retreat has not yet reached Cao Yingzhong. It was also the first time that Cao Cao heard the news that Yuan Shao had retreated, which made all the generals in Cao's camp a little surprised.

They worked desperately in Huai County, and finally had the dawn of conquering Huai County, but they were told that their allies had failed, and everything they had done was useless?

"Yuan Alliance Master is not only defeated, but also defeated!"

Cao Cao sighed, "In the battle of Jinyang, Lu Bu sent people to surrender, and the Yuan army, General Yan Liang and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were all buried in the fire!" After the Yuan army retreated, Lu Bu broke it again and killed his general Wen Chou! ”

Kill Yan Liang, punish Wen ugly!

Just this sentence, everyone was a little silent. Before the war, they were a little contemptuous of Lu Bu. Who does Yuan Shao think? With Yuan Jun's bravery, Jinyang can be said to be in danger. But he never thought that the result of the 50,000 Yuan army's expedition to Jinyang would be to turn Na Lu Bu into victory. Even the Hebei Shuangxiong died at the hands of Lu Bu, so you can imagine the trauma of this battle to Yuan's army.

Yan Liangwen's ugly status in Jizhou is no less than which of them here! They also know about their bravery. But now these Hebei heroes have all died in the hands of Lu Bu, only this battle, Lu Bu's prestige will shock the world!

"As soon as the Lord of the Yuan League is defeated, then Lu Bu will be able to mobilize troops to rescue Hanoi, even if our army can conquer Huai County when the reinforcements from Bingzhou arrive, it will not be able to hold it!"

Cao Cao glanced at the generals and understood that his words at this moment were a blow to morale. Even when he knew the battle report, he couldn't help but sigh! I never thought that the battle of Yuan Lu would be such a result!

"When does the lord want to retire?"

A shorter general said.

His appearance is not so mighty, and he is very thin, not like a general, but a bit like a scribe. But this person's face is resolute, and his eyes are very bright. This person is Cao Cao's general Le Jin.

Le Jin followed Cao Cao very early, his appearance was short, but he was courageous. At this point, it is quite similar to Cao Cao. Cao Cao's figure is not tall and mighty, and his appearance is not good. For a long time, Cao Cao was quite unconfident about his life experience and his appearance, and he had an inferiority complex.

This is why Cao Cao, after defeating Yuan Shao, said with emotion that he was a little ashamed of himself when he was young with Yuan Shao. Think about it, this life experience can't be compared, and his appearance can't be compared, even if it is talent, before the troubled times came, Cao Cao didn't think he was higher than Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth world, if there is no chaos in this world, with his family background, it is very likely that he will also achieve the status of the third prince in the future. But Cao Cao, how high can he go? Later, Cao Cao also said that his ambition when he was young was to be a general of the Han Dynasty.

The reason why young people only have such ambitions is because of their life experience, and secondly, because of their looks. In the circle of friends surrounded by rich and handsome people, Cao Cao has no reason not to feel inferior. Of course, inferiority is inferiority, Cao Cao should be quite confident, especially in front of his subordinates, "Without further ado, I will order the army to withdraw tonight!" Do you have any questions? ”

There were no doubts.

Yuan Shao was defeated, and there was really no need for them to continue in Hanoi.

"Since you don't have any doubts, then."

Cao Cao snorted coldly, "The generals listen to the order, and you will immediately return to the camp to prepare for the retreat!" ”

"No!"

All stand up!

After knowing that Yuan Shao was defeated and retreated, Cao Cao decided to retreat. Xu Rong, who was guarding in Huai County, did not order the pursuit. In fact, after defending the city for so long, the soldiers were all tired, and they had little energy to pursue Cao Cao's elite soldiers.

………

When the military report from Hanoi arrived in Jinyang, Lu Bu was still farming with everyone!

The battle of Yuan Lu almost delayed the spring ploughing.

After defeating Yuan's army, Lu Bu immediately persuaded the people to farm! In this day and age, agriculture is crucial. In the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, the ministers of the county and the state had the duty of persuading the people to start farming. In the "Fourth Rite of the Later Han Dynasty Chronicles", it is also said, "The first month of the first month begins to plow, the day leaks the water and the first acceptance, and the deacon admonishes the first farmer, and has enjoyed." When ploughing, there is a division to ask for action, and the ploughing position, the Son of Heaven, the three dukes, the nine kings, the princes, and the hundred officials will plough the ......"

From these few words, it can be seen that the Han Dynasty attached great importance to spring ploughing! In order for people to be diligent in farming, there should be no laziness. Even the Son of Heaven and the three princes and nine princes, the hundred officials, the county and the state guards, all have to play an "exemplary" role.

Such a etiquette is called "Jitian Ceremony." ”

"Zhou Li" notes: "The king of the ancients is the son of heaven, rich from all over the world, and he will be born in the field privately, and there are three meanings in his righteousness." One is to Fengzong Temple to give his filial piety, and the other is to train the people to be diligent, and diligence is not scarce. The three sons and grandsons of Wen know the difficulties of the crops. ”

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven at that time was still a thousand acres of land, crowned and Zhu Hong, bowed to Binglei, until the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Son of Heaven personally cultivated the home field into an acre and three points of land, which is the origin of the mantra of "one acre and three points of land".

Of course, this is what is written in this ritual. But how many people can really do it for those heavenly sons, so there is no way to know. Not to mention the thousand acres of land in the Zhou Dynasty, it is one acre and three points of land in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later generations, and how many emperors were able to cultivate it personally?

However, no matter what happens to the Son of Heaven in later generations, as far as Lu Bu knows, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty still has to plough and plough himself. Even if it's just a catwalk, you have to know what farming is all about, isn't it? Moreover, the Son of Heaven ploughs and ploughs pro-plough, which is a great incentive for those people! Moreover, in this catwalk, not only the Son of Heaven, but also the three princes and nine princes and hundreds of officials also have to go to the fields to cultivate together.

Think about that scene, it's also spectacular.

The Son of Heaven and the three princes and nine princes and hundreds of officials, holding the plough in one hand and the whip in the other, drove the ploughing oxen forward, while a large group of people watched, shouting from time to time......

Compared with the Son of Heaven, the county and the state also have the responsibility of persuading the people to farm. But more often, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, where can he control all the people? This is especially true in troubled times. The suffering of the wars and the barren countryside have led to the rise of thieves and the misery of the people, and more officials are on the verge of being fed. It's not easy to have a good parent.

Looking at the grateful eyes that were thrown at him all around, Lu Bu was also a little touched! To be honest, he really couldn't last long in this plough! It's an extremely boring and tiring thing. Those people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and in this land, they don't know how many tears they have to shed to have the joy of a good harvest. But after such hard work, it is possible that the exchange may not even fill the belly!

The second update!
