    "Last winter?" Sun Quan frowned and thought after listening to Zhang Zhao's words.

    When Liu Cong was regulating the Yellow River and Yangtze River, many officials had discussed it. At the same time, they were very fortunate that although Jiangdong was also in the Yangtze River Basin, the two banks were wide and the river was gentle. The Yangtze River had never brought disaster to them.

    "Zi Bu is saying that Liu Cong controls the Yellow River?"

    "It is not just about regulating the Yellow River, but also building water conservancy. Many water canals have been built in the Yellow River and Weihe River basins in the Central Plains and Guanzhong. Even the dilapidated Zhengguo Canal, which has been in disrepair for a long time, has been repaired. Although there is a drought now, water trucks are used to divert water for irrigation.  It¡¯s a matter of course! Moreover, the King of Han also purchased a lot of grain at a high price!¡±

    "Zibu, are you saying that Liu Cong already knew about this year's severe drought?" Sun Quan's expression changed several times.

    Predicting natural disasters is not something that ordinary resourceful people can do, only those who are destined to do so.  If Liu Cong really predicted this year's disaster, wouldn't it mean

    "My lord, there are rumors in the Central Plains and Luoyang that Liu Cong, the king of Han, is the one destined by fate. The Wei River is clear, the sky is auspicious, and the saint will come out. Whether it is true or false, we must pay attention to it. Looking at Liu Cong over the years, Zhan Wu  Invincible, Shangyong only had a few thousand troops when he raised his army, but now he has become the number one prince in the world, and there seems to be help from gods and men. Now that he has defeated the Xiongnu and Xianbei, people have joined him, so his subordinates thought that they should not fight easily.  The King of Han goes to war!"

    "Could it be is he really invincible?" Sun Quan had a bitter expression on his face.

    "Maybe it's because the man's energy is not exhausted yet!"

    "Then what about our alliance with King Wei?"

    "The alliance cannot be dissolved, and the truth is that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. King Wei naturally understands that if he wants to send troops, he must wait until King Wei's army enters Yanzhou!"

    "Zi Bu's words are reasonable. I will immediately send an order to Lu Meng and Lu Xun not to send troops rashly!"

    In Yecheng, at the Wei Palace, Jia Xu and Cao Cao were also talking about Liu Cong.

    "Liu Chengguang is really full of talents. Such a huge disaster was handled in an orderly manner. Not only did Luoyang not become chaotic, but he also took this opportunity to establish his reputation. It's really amazing!" Cao Cao put down the information with a relaxed expression on his face.

    "Although the King of Han has many talents under his command, these decisions should come from the King of Han!"

    "People say that Liu Chengguang is destined to return to his destiny. What does Wen He think?"

    "Last year there was a bumper harvest of grain. The King of Han was so rich that he would naturally buy some grain. Any superior would do this kind of preparation for a rainy day. It's just that we don't have that much money. The Yellow River in the Central Plains area has been flooding year after year, and crops are often destroyed.  Flooded. My lord has also managed it before, so there is nothing strange about it!"

    "Ha" After hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao burst into laughter, "Wen He still sees through it!"

    "My lord, my subordinates asked the ghost soldiers to investigate. The theory about the destiny of the King of Han was first reported from Luoyang Academy!"

    "Luoyang Academy!"

    "Many officials under the King of Han were directly selected from Luoyang Academy instead of promoting filial piety and integrity."

    "Select directly from Luoyang Academy?" Cao Cao frowned, "Wouldn't this mean that they all become disciples of poor families? Don't the aristocratic families object?"

    "Why should aristocratic families object?" Jia Xu shook his head, "Lord, just imagine, since the appearance of new books, studying is no longer exclusive to children of aristocratic families, and children from poor families also have resources. Children of aristocratic families must accept selection if they want to become officials.  You must study in an academy, and you must truly be a meritocracy!¡±

    "Thisthis is indeed a good idea" Cao Cao has been pursuing meritocracy throughout his life. He has also reused Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and other poor people.  But now, in addition to Jia Xu, the important ministers under his command, including Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, etc., are all from aristocratic families.  "Wenhe, we can also start an academy!"

    "My lord is wise!" Jia Xu saluted Cao Cao, "The academy can not only cultivate talents, but also educate ignorant people according to the lord's ideas. At that time, the people will think that the lord is the one destined to be destined by fate, and the Qi of the Han Dynasty  That¡¯s it, that¡¯s the key!¡±

    "Okay, okay!" Cao Cao cheered repeatedly, very satisfied.  "Wen He, Liu Cong has just experienced a war, and now he is experiencing a natural disaster. Can we send troops to Yanzhou?"

    "This" Jia Xu thought for a moment, "Although the King of Han won a great victory at Maling, the soldiers and horses of Beidi County also suffered heavy losses. Zhuge Liang and Li Yan used the Eight Formation Diagram to defeat Bu Dugen and Xiqiang King Midang  , and the soldiers and horses are still conquering the Western Regions, the Yanzhou Corps of the Han Dynasty is just a lone army, it is indeed a good time to send troops, but some of my subordinates are worried!"

    "Oh? Wen Heyou?Worried?  "

    "Although Sun Quan, King of Wu, has formed an alliance with us, he is a man of both minds and is only interested in profit. Since Xiangyang's troops have not moved, he may not send troops to contain the Han army!"

    "Oh" Cao Cao nodded, "Compared with Sun Ce, this Sun Quan is still far behind!"

    "Youzhou Tian Zitai just died of illness, and his subordinates thought that Gongsun Kang might take action!"

    "Gongsun Kang? He dares to attack Youzhou?"

    "Since Gongsun Kang conquered Goguryeo, established Daifang County, and defeated Sanhan and Baekje, his strength and ambition have greatly increased. Together with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, we must be on guard!  "

    "I understand!" Cao Cao nodded.

    "My lord, Liu Bei and Gongsun Kang have their own agendas, and it is impossible for the two to truly cooperate. Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, is both civil and military, and assisted by Xu Yuanzhi, there is no problem in blocking Gongsun Kang. It's just that we shouldn't fight on both sides!"

    ¡°Wen He¡¯s words make sense!¡±

    "Lord, we should now establish academies, reward farming and weaving, develop commerce, accumulate grass and crops, and work hard to govern! Based on Qing, You, Bing, and Ji, we should also develop the navy in Xuzhou and wait until the world changes before making plans!  "

    "Wen Hezhen is my son's wife! Ha" Cao Cao was very happy.

    Jia Xu¡¯s guess was correct. The Xiangyang legion did not move, and neither did the Jiangdong troops.  The strength of the Han army once again made Jiangdong commanders Lu Meng and Lu Xun see.  Although they were very unconvinced by Gan Ning, they did not have the courage to initiate a fight.

    Gongsun Kang finally lost his temper and led an army of 50,000 people to leave Liaodong and head for Youzhou.  Originally he planned to make Guan Yu and Zhang Fei the vanguard and Liu Bei the deputy commander, but when his younger brother Gongsun Gong recommended him, he immediately changed his mind.  Because recently, the three brothers Gongsun Gong and Liu Bei have been fighting fiercely!  He had to be on guard.

    Staying in Liaodong, no matter how powerful Liu Bei's three brothers are, they don't have soldiers and horses, so there is no need to worry.  Once he takes over Youzhou, it won't be a big deal to separate the three of them.  Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are all talents!  Gongsun Kang was a little reluctant to kill them just like he did to Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

    The movement of troops and horses in Liaodong caused quite a commotion throughout the world.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
