At the southern foot of Turtle Mountain, here is the mouth of the summer water, the famous summer mouth.

At this moment, on the rugged mountain road of Guishan, a carriage is galloping, the horseman is a warrior, Guan Lin and Liu Chan are sitting in the carriage, and Zhao Yun, Lu Xun, and Zhuge Ke are riding horses outside.

Along the way, Liu Chan was like a curious baby, and asked Guan Lin every once in a while, where are they going?

Guan Lin didn't tell him, just hung his appetite.

But after all, this road is very long, Guan Lin has nothing to do, so he simply... Sing the song.

Not much...

However, there are some catchy songs, quite demonic tunes, and 'Rakshasa Ghost City'-like voices, which begin to echo in this mountain road.

- "The rooster doesn't bark, the dog doesn't get up, and the skull rings; looking for shoes and socks, dressing up, carrying the big mouth on his back; ”

- "Along the winding mountain road, rushing to the field, the sun does not set, and the hoe clangs... The bright sun on the ridges of the fields shines on the body, the back is hot, and the heart is cold; ”

- "The grain has just been harvested, and the account has not been paid before it has been cooked, and in the end there is only ... A few copper coins! ”

- "No matter how you count, or the poor jingle rings!" ”

- "The firewood, rice, oil, and salt in that house, the wife and children, the parents, the surplus grain in that family is desolate, a butt account, no matter how hard the work is, if you don't surrender, the pressure in your heart is the most difficult to resist... Oops, oops! ”

(PS: Is there a great god who can sing it, I v you 50!) ）

The more Guan Lin sang, the more interested he became.

But firstly, his singing voice is not good, and secondly, Liu Chan does not like the lyrics.

So, Liu Chan asked: "Brother Yunqi, don't sing it, it's hard to hear, let's talk about this song... How can there be such a thing... I went to farm early in the morning and planted until late in the evening... Tired into a dog, but in the end, 'pay off the debt before you cook, or the tinkle of poverty', is there such a bitter person in this world? ”

Faced with Liu Chan's questioning.

Guan Lin directly said "hehe".

This kid knows a ball...

Since he can remember, he is either the lord of the city or the lord of the hero, even seven in and seven out, and he is one position ahead of his son Uncle Long.

Where has he ever seen any real human suffering?

The whole world is just what he imagined it to be!

Of course, this involves the purpose of this trip - the second step of the Shizi training plan: go out!

Let Liu Chan open his eyes to see the real world, and reshape his "three views" in line with this era!

"Do you think no one in this world is so miserable?" Guan Lin asked rhetorically.

"It's natural!" Liu Chan said: "If you can't eat meat, you can always eat porridge, right?" ”

Guan Lin was quite surprised that this kid could say this, at least... He is not like the historical Jin Hui Emperor Sima Zhen, saying things like "why not eat minced meat"!

It also proves from the side that there is still salvation -

When Guan Lin was about to speak again...

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

Guan Lin was a little surprised, because the planned location had not yet arrived.

At this time, Zhuge Ke's voice had already come out: "Whose playboy?" How dare you stop me and the convoy? ”

Guan Lin lifted the curtain, and sure enough, as far as the eye could see... A child about eight or nine years old, carrying a heavy bamboo basket, stopped in front of the convoy.

Shiwu hurriedly asked Guan Lin, "Do you want to drive away?" ”

"I'll take a look!"

As he spoke, Guan Lin jumped out of the carriage, and Liu Chan was curious and followed with a tiger's head.

But the boy opened his mouth and asked, "Sir, do you buy pomegranates?" ”

Zhuge Ke didn't expect that this child would stop their horse team and not hesitate to stand in front of the fast-running horses, just to sell pomegranates.

Just as he was about to speak, Guan Lin had already walked over, and he looked at the child, "Did you stop us to sell pomegranates?" ”

"Yes!" This is a boy whose eyes are extremely clear, but his cheeks are covered with vegetables, and he thinks... The children of such peasant families can't eat a few meals of meat all year round, right?

Liu Chan also rushed over with curiosity and saw this boy... No, to be precise, it was to see the boy's belly, and then touch his own belly, and couldn't help but ask.

"How can you be so thin?"

Guan Lin glared at Liu Chan, then turned his gaze to the boy again, "How old are you?" ”

The boy pointed to the two buns that were tied up, which were "hanging hair" shaped like sheep's horns, which in ancient times meant "total horns", meaning "eight years old..."

Guan Lin was a little surprised, "Selling pomegranates? Are you alone? ”

"It's not! Mother-in-law in the back. The boy turned around and pointed, and sure enough, an old woman was hobbling down the mountain path.

Connection...

Pomegranate, boy, mother-in-law!

These words and vivid pictures poured into Guan Lin's mind.

He realized that perhaps... This is a "lesson" that is incomparably vivid for Liu Chan and reshapes the three views!

Thinking of this section, Guan Lin became much more patient.

Looking at the old woman's staggering appearance, Guan Lin asked, "Where did this pomegranate come from?" ”

"Carried down from the top of the mountain!" The eight-year-old's immature voice groaned again.

Guan Lin then asked, "How long have you been memorizing it?" ”

At this time, the old woman had already come, and the boy glanced back at his mother-in-law, and then he was still smiling, without the slightest nervousness about seeing strangers, "I have been carrying it for four hours... down..."

At this time, Guan Lin noticed that the old woman did not have a bamboo basket on her back, that is...

"Are all these pomegranates on your back?"

"Yes, because my mother-in-law's back hurts, I can't move my back."

When mentioning his mother-in-law's back pain, the boy's clear eyes seemed to have a lot of waves, and he really cared about his mother-in-law.

At this time, Liu Chan opened his mouth, "I'm so thirsty all the way, can I taste one first?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The boy nodded hurriedly, and even gave one of the largest pomegranates to Liu Chan.

Liu Chan took it, and while unceremoniously breaking it open, he said, "It's not delicious, we don't give money..."

"Yes, yes!" The boy still nodded, always smiling like a heart-melting one.

But when Liu Chan broke it open, it was full, and Liu Chan was thirsty, and his whole head sank into it.

Guan Lin then asked: "Why do you have to carry it down the mountain for so long to sell?" ”

The boy looked at his mother-in-law, who opened her mouth for the first time, "There are pomegranate trees planted on the mountain, no one buys them, and if you want to sell them, you have to carry them down... Go to the city. ”

Oh...

Guan Lin recalled that the pomegranate tree was introduced to the Han Dynasty from the Silk Road during the Western Han Dynasty, and was originally only planted in the "Shanglin Garden" and "Lishan Hot Spring Palace" in the capital Chang'an, but because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved pomegranates, pomegranates were widely planted in palaces, gardens and courtyards in the Han Dynasty.

——What is good at the top, will be very good at the bottom.

The folk also have the trend of eating pomegranates.

Therefore, many places will buy pomegranate trees from the Western Regions and plant them in large quantities, and this is the case when you want to come to this mountain.

But this kind of thing can't be preserved.

It's okay to rule the world, it's really a troubled time... Who will pay a lot of money?

Therefore, even if it is introduced from the Western Regions, even if it tastes sweet, in this late Han Dynasty, the price has never gone up, and the mountain people need to walk hundreds of miles to the city market to sell.

Margins are meagre –

Of course, that's not the point...

The point is that Guan Lin visually measured that this basket of pomegranates must be dozens of catties bigger, and this little boy has such a weak body, he has already walked for four hours to carry it.

Of course, this is just Guan Lin realizing that it is useless, and Guan Lin needs to make Liu Chan aware of it.

"Where's your father?"

Guan Lin's words made the little boy fall silent for a moment.

"What about his parents?"

Guan Lin then asked his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law pursed her lips, "His father and mother were killed by soldiers... Pretended to be a bandit and took the credit! ”

"Ahh Liu Chan's entire head was lifted out of the big pomegranate, and his entire mouth was stained with pomegranate juice, "And such a thing?" ”

Guan Lin motioned for Liu Chan to shut up, and he continued to ask, "Mother-in-law, how much is this basket of pomegranates going to sell?" ”

"A pound... Consistent money! ”

Consistent money is consistent five baht money.

"How many?"

"One hundred and twenty pounds!"

With the words of his mother-in-law, Guan Lin roughly calculated that one catty in the Han Dynasty was equal to 250 grams, which was equivalent to half a catty in later generations, so... In other words, the child carried the weight of thirty kilograms of the next life down the mountain.

Considering his age and physique, it's really distressing!

However, it is clear that Liu Chan has not realized this yet.

"I want them all."

Guan Lin motioned to Shiwu to give money, and Shiwu took out a bag of five baht coins and handed it to his mother-in-law, who did not order it, and thanked her again and again.

Zhao Yun was going to pick up the little boy's bamboo basket.

Guan Lin hurriedly gave him a look, Zhao Yun understood, paused, and did not step forward again.

Guan Lin looked at Liu Chan, "Don't eat it, you go and take that basket of pomegranates." ”

As soon as Liu Chan heard so many pomegranates, he thought about it, he would definitely be able to eat it very enjoyable in the car later?

He hurriedly went to pick it up, but as soon as the eight-year-old boy let go, there was a "bang", Liu Chan... With a basket of pomegranates he was holding, he sat down together.

"It hurts..."

Where would Liu Chan have thought that the bamboo basket carried by this seemingly weak boy was like a mountain...

He subconsciously touched his aching buttocks, and now... The bamboo basket overturned, and all the pomegranates rolled down, and they rolled down the mountain.

"Oops..."

Only then did Liu Chan react.

But the little boy reacted faster, and like a monkey, he quickly went to pick up the pomegranates that were rolling down one by one, and even the farthest one was on the edge of the cliff, and almost fell.

His eyes also became hot at this moment, as if these "pomegranates" were something more important than his life!

"It's... Is it so hard? ”

Liu Chan looked at this scene incredulously, the education he received since he was a child, the people he saw, and the things he experienced made him completely unable to understand the scene in front of him.

"Picked it up... Picked it up..."Although the little boy was very tired, his face was still full of bright smiles, and his eyes had changed back to the clarity of the past, and the clarity hit the depths of people's hearts.

This time, the little boy took the initiative to help Liu Chan carry all the pomegranates to the carriage.

Liu Chan patted him on the shoulder, "You really have the strength, now, my brother has helped you sell the pomegranates, you can go home, right?" ”

"It's going home." The little boy nodded, "My mother-in-law and I have to go back and carry a little more to sell!" ”

"It's going to be sold!"

"Yes! It's easy to spoil after winter, and if you don't sell it as soon as possible, your mother-in-law will have no money for treatment and no money to eat this year! ”

Obviously, when the little boy's words came out, Liu Chan was stunned.

His eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what the little boy in front of him said.

- "Is the money from the sale of pomegranates the only money they have for healing and eating?"

This moment...

Guan Lin even noticed that Liu Chan's mouth was open, not surprised, but his words... It's like it's blocked, and it's like I don't know where to start.

Zhao Yun also noticed this scene, he finally knew why Guan Lin didn't let him move the basket of pomegranates, and he finally knew that he left the city and came to this mountain village... What is the purpose of Guan Lin?

Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly.

- "Zhuge military master is a god, sure enough... Guan Yunqi is the best master of Ah Dou Gongzi!"

"Mother-in-law, it just so happens that we are also going up the mountain, I'll send you back-"

Guan Lin opened his mouth at the right time.

In fact, he had already arranged for a destination in advance.

also arranged some "actors" there, so that they could perform some extreme hardships and hardships, and perform some "plays" that were enough to make Liu Chan experience the suffering of the people and to make him see the great changes in his three views.

But... Now, Guan Lin has discovered... He's actually doing it too much.

- The hemp rope is broken in detail, and the bad luck is focused on finding the miserable.

The way of the world... Suffering and hardship, do you still need to act?

Everywhere, aren't they all miserable?

The mother-in-law didn't dare to take the carriage, but Guan Lin repeatedly asked to get down, and she got into the carriage with Zhao Yun's support.

But even if her legs and feet were inconvenient, even if she was very uncomfortable before she sat down, she took off her robe first, and threw herself on the stool of the carriage, and she sat on her robe, and only sat a little.

She was afraid that she would get dirty and make the rich man's carriage unclean!

The little boy did not sit down, but stood in front of his mother-in-law, leaning against her body.

"You don't have to be like this..."Liu Chan couldn't help but persuade.

"It's okay, I'm not tired, I stand a lot." The little boy was still well-behaved.

This moment...

For the first time, Liu Chan had the feeling that his eyes were in the sand.

This is also the first time he burst into tears because of "moving".

Along the way, Liu Chan was very curious about the little boy, and he asked the little boy a series of questions from time to time.

Like what...

"What do you usually do?"

"Feed the chickens, plough the land, do the laundry, cook..."

Liu Chan was taken aback, "Do you still want to plow the land?" Is the cultivated land tired? ”

The little boy was a little moved, "I'm not tired, I can be tired, my mother-in-law and I have something to eat-"

The mother-in-law added: "There is so much land, and it is all in the hands of large families, and not every family can become a tenant farmer..."

“……”

Liu Chan felt that the three views he had shaped in the past twelve years seemed to be completely collapsed and shattered at this moment!

It seems that all the cognitions in his memory are biased, and the deviations are outrageous-

Guan Lin then asked the little boy, "What's your name?" ”

"Yufeng—"

豢 (huan): Meaning to feed.

The name... It must be the meaning of "good feeding".

It's nothing.

It was Guan Lin, hearing the name of this fish, "Ah...", Guan Lin exclaimed.

- "He... He is the fish of his childhood?'

…

…

Rolling east of the Yangtze River, five warships have docked at the dock.

Sun Quan is here to bid farewell to his eldest son, no... Now it is the son of Soochow - Sun Deng!

On this trip, under the instruction of Sun Quan, Sun Deng went to Jingzhou with two tasks, one was to appease Guan Yu's emotions and let him mourn, and the other was to argue with reason and persuade Guan Yu to release Lu Meng back.

"Yesterday, I heard that Guan Yu had displayed a hundred warships on the Xiangjiang River, and now Dongwu can't fight this water war with Jingzhou! Wu'er, you have a difficult task on this trip! ”

Sun Quan said solemnly.

Sun Deng arched his hand, "The child knows what to do." ”

said so, but Sun Deng's tone seemed to have a little intriguing loneliness.

Sun Quan saw something, and then asked, "What else do you have to ask?" ”

Sun Deng opened his mouth, but it seemed that the words came to his mouth, and in the end he still didn't say it, "The child has nothing to ask, the situation is urgent, it's not early, the child will board the boat." ”

"Go-" Sun Quan stared at Sun Deng, and did not forget to remind loudly, "Remember, you are the prince of Dongwu, Dongwu Rong, you are honored, and Dongwu is humiliated, then you are humiliated!" ”

Listening to Sun Quan's words, Sun Deng had already walked to the boat, and he finally surrendered to Sun Quan.

Then the five warships quickly sailed away from the port, watching these ships disappear into the sparkling river, Sun Quan sighed "sigh".

Gu Yong, who was beside him, also snorted lightly, and then asked Sun Quan, "The prince of Fang Cai seems to have something to say, and it seems that he wants to stop talking." ”

Sun Quan said lightly: "Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, how can Lone not know what he wants to say?" ”

Speaking of this, Sun Quan waved his hand, "Let's go..."

At this moment, his expression was a little lonely.

However, after only a moment of turning around, the loneliness on Sun Quan's face was gone, replaced by the gloomy eyes as always, and he asked Gu Yongdao: "The case of Gan Ning and Zhu Ran?" How's it going? Who, exactly, is lying? ”

Gu Yong didn't expect that Sun Quan, who was a "loving father" a moment ago, would turn the spearhead to that extremely sensitive "case" just after bidding farewell to his son!

"Ahem..."Gu Yong coughed lightly and replied truthfully: "This case is still under investigation, but... On one side is the general, and on the other side is the young patriarch of the big family, this case is not easy to investigate! ”

"Let Zhou Xun check!" Sun Quan was categorical, "Last time Ling Tong's case, he didn't investigate it very well——"

Sun Quan seems to have made a decision early in the morning.

Gu Yong's eyes rolled, and he slowly bowed his head, "Yes-"

Here, Sun Quan and Gu Yong were still marching in the direction of Stone Town.

Over there, Sun Deng, who was on the ship, and his friend Zhang Xiu were also asking him, "Fang Cai Shizi seems to want to speak and stop..."

Zhang Xiu is one of Sun Deng's four friends.

Just like the four friends of Liu Chan in history, they are Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, and Huo Yi;

Cao Pi's four friends are Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Wu Zhen, and Zhu Shuo;

Sun Deng also has four friends, except for Zhang Xiu, the other three are Zhuge Ke, Gu Tan, and Chen Biao.

Especially Zhuge Ke, Sun Deng has an excellent relationship with him.

This time, Zhang Xiu threw out a question, Sun Deng pondered for a while, and then replied: "Since you know that the answer is false, then why bother to ask again, and let your father make it up?" ”

"That..."Zhang Xiu then asked, "What does the prince want to ask?" ”

Sun Deng sighed "sigh", "I want to ask my father, he has thought about... Can I go back? ”

It seems that Sun Deng knows a little about Sun Quan's next series of deployments, although it is not comprehensive, but he also knows... The Sun-Liu alliance is about to be shattered!

At that time, a son of an enemy country, could he still return home?

Sure enough, with Sun Deng's words, his friend Zhang Xiu was dumbfounded...

Since ancient times, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither!

Since ancient times, it has been the most ruthless emperor!

However, the scene of Sun Quan sending Sun Deng was clearly seen by Zhou Xunqing, who was stationed far away on the riverbank, he didn't know what Sun Quan and Sun Deng said, but this behavior...

Still let him shake his head again and again.

Then he sighed: "It is said that the tiger is poisonous and does not eat the child, hehe, that is the Cihu, the male tiger is poisonous, where do you care about the life or death of the son?" ”

…

…

The Han River is turbulent, like a group of wild horses galloping, galloping past, setting off layers of waves, tumbling and rushing forward-

At this moment, on the north bank of the Han River, there is a fierce battle post.

A group of soldiers stood on the periphery, among which Cao Ren and Zhao Yan stood behind a middle-aged man, who was close to the riverbed, carefully observing this side.

This is already from the Yankou River to Yujiagang, and then to Tuanshanpu, and now it is the last stop.

The entire river basin, including the Tang River, the Bai River, the Xiaoqing River, and the Putuo Ditch, Huanglonggou and Heilonggou in the northwest, have all been seen.

The officials in charge of water conservancy in each county were all accompanied, constantly answering the man's questions.

The man is Yan Ji, and he came here with the hope of Sun Quan and Soochow.

And the truth was just as he expected.

"Mr. Yan, you've been watching this for a few days... What the hell is going on with this flow? Cao Ren couldn't help but ask.

It's not a way to watch it like this every day!

But this is the order of the eldest brother Cao Cao, and he must accompany Zhao Yan to inspect every place.

Cao Ren was already a little impatient.

Zhao Yan also said: "Mr. Yan, if there is any conclusion, you may wish to inform us one or two first." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Yan spread his hands and pointed to a group of people behind him, "Otherwise, hehe... So many people's eyes are black, and they are completely confused like the second monk! ”

Finally, a long time coming...

Yan Jian opened his mouth, "I've been to Jingzhou in the past, and I have some understanding of the water flow here... During this time, I have inspected many places in the Hanshui River Basin, the hard-hit place in Pingsuri, and I just tell you with great certainty that the flow direction of the entire river basin has changed slightly! It's very different from what it used to be! ”

Yes...

Cao Ren and Zhao Yan were taken aback, but Zhao Yan opened his mouth: "Can the change of the stars cause a difference in the flow direction of the Han River?" ”

"I have studied water flow for more than 20 years, and I know a lot about it, and I can't see the change in this kind of water flow, but once it reaches the high water period, if there is another heavy rain... That is very likely to trigger the backflow of Han water, which was previously in the direction of the entire Xiangfan, but now..."

In the end, Yan Jian paused, like the next words, he couldn't say it yet... It's not his conclusion after repeated corroboration.

He was a scholar, and often scholars were rigorous people.

But Cao Ren and Zhao Yan don't care about this.

"Now, how's it going?" Cao Ren asked impatiently.

"I can't say..."

"There's nothing you can't say about that." Cao Ren was even more anxious.

Yan Jian shook his head, "Because, I'm just guessing..."

"Mr. Yan just say it..."Zhao Yan opened his mouth and said: "Since it is a guess, someone always needs to corroborate it, if you don't say it, how can General Zixiao verify the authenticity." ”

Zhao Yan's words persuaded Yan Yan, and he finally groaned, then turned around, faced the Han River, and pointed to the other side of the Han River.

"The river on the north bank of the Han River has been newly excavated to bring water to the heights of the south bank... If a reservoir is dug there, and when heavy rains and floods come, the floodgates are opened to release water... It is very likely that the swelling water of the Han River will be diverted to the north bank, which will be enough to pour into Fancheng, Pinglu City, Yuncheng... Let the entire Wei army be reduced to a turtle in the water overnight—"

This...

With Yan Yan's words, whether it was Cao Ren or Zhao Yan, the two of them subconsciously were stunned.

If... If Yan Zhen's words are true, then... July, August... It is very likely that it will be the day of the catastrophe of the Wei army on the north bank of their Han River!

The most important thing is...

Yan Jian is famous, and his words... It's hard not to believe it!

…
