Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 468 Vigorously promoting the keel waterwheel



It took more than ten days for the Military Aircraft Department to build nearly a thousand keel waterwheels.

Cao Shuo came to the barracks and mobilized [-] Xuanjia troops and [-] infantry, and transported all these keel waterwheels to Yuzhou.

When Dian Wei saw Cao Shuo put on his battle armor, he asked with a puzzled face, "Your Majesty, it's just a trivial matter to send this keel tanker, why do you want to go there yourself?"

"Take this opportunity to inspect the people in Yuzhou!"

Cao Shuo didn't bring too many entourages with him when he went out, the generals only Dian Wei and Xu Ding, the counselors brought Xi Zhicai, and Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, two children, at the same time.

When he came to Yangdi City in Yingchuan County, Cao Shuo called Liu Huan, the prefect of Yangdi.

"Liu Taishou, the Military Aircraft Department has produced nearly a thousand keel waterwheels. You send people to distribute these to the places with the worst drought, and the craftsmen of the Military Aircraft Department will teach you how to use them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Shuo found a pool at random and asked the craftsmen to demonstrate it to them.

In the absence of a pump, the keel waterwheel is still very useful. In some remote areas, this thing is still used to irrigate farmland.

Liu Huan looked at the huge waterwheel and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, how many people are needed to turn it around?"

"Zhuge Liang, go and try!"

Liu Huan was amazed, seeing that Zhuge Liang was only thirteen or fourteen years old, could he move?Is it impossible to be born with supernatural power?

Zhuge Liang came to the waterwheel nervously. He hadn't tried it before. If it couldn't turn, he would be ashamed today.

There are more than 500 people standing beside Cao Shuo. If this news gets out, how will he see people in the future.

However, Zhuge Liang's worries were obviously unnecessary, and it was quite easy to turn the waterwheel.

"This is really a fetish!"

Everyone sighed, no wonder His Majesty valued the keel waterwheel so much, even a well-mannered young man could turn it, let alone soldiers like them.

"This thing can only solve part of the problem. If you want to play its huge role, you still need to use the water source reasonably."

Liu Huan looked at the yamen servants and said, "You must protect this thing, and you must not let people with ulterior motives learn to use it."

Cao Shuo hastily stopped and said, "This is inappropriate, this thing must be used by most of the common people."

Liu Huan asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, what if the enemy learns this?"

If such a heaven-defying thing falls into the hands of the enemy and the enemy learns how to make and use it, what sense of superiority do they have?

Cao Shuo said in a deep voice, "We rely on soldiers, weapons, equipment, horses, and many counselors and generals to fight. Although the hearts of the people are important, they are not the most important thing."

"You have eased the drought in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and you have made the keel waterwheel famous. I still count on it to make money for me. How can you not let the enemy know."

After Cao Shuo left Yingchuan, he rushed directly to Lü Bu's camp in Longkang.

Lu Bu was surprised when he saw Cao Shuo, did he doubt himself?Why did you lead the army here without prior notice?
"The final general has seen His Majesty!"

"My lord, there is no need to be polite, there are no outsiders here."

Lu Bu asked suspiciously, "Why is Your Majesty here?"

"To inspect Yuzhou and reward the soldiers stationed in Yuzhou by the way."

Lu Bu didn't think that Cao Shuo was simply here to reward the soldiers, but he couldn't figure out Cao Shuo's thoughts either.

"Guo Zhang, you go and inform the generals and counselors with more than five hundred shi to gather at Long Kang's camp. I have something to order."

"promise!"

Lu Bu left Cao Shuo's big tent with doubts, and Xi Zhicai asked, "My lord, at this time the tent is up for discussion, do you want to attack Yuan Shu?"

Cao Shuo laughed and said, "I haven't seen Cao Cao's main force since his soldiers defected, so I just took this opportunity to meet him."

Xi Zhicai nodded. Yuzhou has 15 troops left by Cao Cao. Although Lu Bu has taken over now, the middle-level generals are still Cao Cao's people.

Cao Cao trusted Cao Shuo and handed over the troops to him. If Cao Shuo didn't come to express his condolences, it would be really unreasonable.

This will make them feel that the soldiers they rely on are not as reliable as the soldiers recruited by Cao Shuo himself.

An hour later, Lu Bu sent someone to inform Cao Shuo that all the troops had arrived.

Cao Shuo came to the martial arts arena in Longkang Daying Camp, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Li Zheng, Li Dian, Shi Huan, Mao Jie, Cheng Yu and others were all present.

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

"All the generals are flat!"

Cao Shuo glanced at the few people standing in front of him, and said, "You are all the most loyal subordinates of my Cao family. You have been recuperating here for nearly a year, and you must be ready."

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, they wanted to go to the battlefield for a long time, but it was a pity that Cao Shuo put the focus of the conquest on the west, so that they could only defend here.

The generals in the north were three ranks higher than their official positions on average, which made them somewhat unconvinced, and some even complained.

"The army in the north has been exhausted from continuous battles. Now we need you to contribute to our country when we are conquering Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, and Liu Biao."

"Wish to share the worries for His Majesty, death is not a pity!"

"Our navy officers and soldiers were blocked in the area of ​​Jiujiang and Danyang. Sun Ce and Yuan Shu sank in the river with iron chains, preventing our warships from going west. Now we need to cross the Huai River and attack Jiujiang County and Lujiang from the north. county."

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai and handed over the final arrangement to him.

Xi Zhicai looked at Lu Bu and said, "General Fengxian led ten thousand Xuanjia soldiers to Cai to deter Shouchun on the other side of the river, and at the same time attract Yuan Shu's army."

"The last general takes orders!"

Xi Zhicai looked at Zhang Liao and said, "General Wen Yuan, you led [-] Xuanjia troops to Yicheng, felled more trees to make rafts, and pretended to cross the river."

"promise!"

The faces of Cao Cao's old subordinates were extremely ugly. They were very unconvinced that this work had to be handed over to the northern generals.

When someone was about to ask, Xi Zhicai looked at Yu Jin and said, "General Wen Ze, you are in the camp, select [-] soldiers, and sneak across the river from Zhongli tomorrow night."

"General Zhang is in Yicheng to attract troops for you. Presumably there are not many soldiers in Zhongli City. You should take Zhongli City regardless of all losses."

"The last general takes orders!"

Yu Jin was overjoyed, he didn't expect that the first attack would fall on him, he also understood now that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao attracted the attention of Yuan Shu's army, and they were all led by the Xuanjia army.

None of their soldiers moved, it seemed that they wanted to use them as the main force to attack Yuan Shu.

Xi Zhicai looked at Li Dian and Li Zheng, and said, "General Mancheng and General Xuancheng led an army of [-] troops to follow General Jin. After he takes Zhongli down, you quickly cross the river and take Yinling County, Jiujiang County!"

"No!"
