Chapter 168 The sky does not extinguish Cao, and the earth springs with sweet springs!
"Whew! --Call! Call! ”
The soldiers are thirsty and angry, like a pile of dry firewood and grass, as long as a spark jumps out, it will immediately burst into flames, at that time, even if the Dragon King of the Four Seas comes together, it is difficult to extinguish this fire!
In this case, there must be a person with enough weight to stand up and take responsibility, and he must take advantage of the situation to try to resolve the grievances of the soldiers, and Cao Mengde is the only one who has this status and ability!
"Meng De was edicted to beg the thief and pacify the land of the two Liao, but unfortunately he had no talent and no virtue, dragged down 80,000 soldiers, fell into a predicament, cut off food and water, life and death were uncertain, and now only one death can apologize to the world!
After the self-murder of the original phase, a wisp of soul will not be extinguished, and it will inevitably inspire the Emperor of Heaven to protect 80,000 soldiers from the predicament and return to the Central Plains to reunite with their families, so die without regrets! ”
……………………
Cao Cao pulled out the sword of Yitian and put it across his neck, ready to apologize to the soldiers with death, and his words were full of emotion and impassioned, and he also shed a few sad tears!
Of course, treacherous ambition and cunning are incomparably ambitious, how can they easily kill themselves, but pretend to be self-defeating, so as to calm people's hearts, so as not to provoke mutiny!
"The prime minister's body is a member of the country, how can he say the word 'death' lightly, please put down the sword quickly, and the general will definitely sacrifice his life to serve!"
"The last general is broken bones, and he must also protect the prime minister, out of this desert Jedi, the Han can't do without the prime minister, and the world can't do without the prime minister!"
"Woohoo! --Your Excellency! --Never! ”
……………………
The bitter meat plan really took effect, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Zhang He, Gao Ran...... They all rushed up, or snatched the sword, for fear that Cao Cao would really kill himself, or fell to his knees and swore to be loyal to the prime minister forever!
The surrounding soldiers also knelt down, and made a burst of pleading, since Prime Minister Cao Cheng took power, although he bullied the Son of Heaven and pressed down on hundreds of officials, he was domineering and domineering to the extreme, but he was very good to the people.
He personally commanded the army, crusaded against the princes from all walks of life, ended the chaotic situation, and returned the people to a peaceful world, to put it mildly, the hearts of the Central Plains - all belong to the Cao family, at this time, seeing Cao Cao so self-blaming, and even wanting to apologize for himself, he suddenly had a heart of unbearable!
Cao Cao didn't want to die, so he inserted his sword into the ground, grabbed a few generals around him, sat on the ground and cried loudly, it was really like a cuckoo crying blood............
Tears can channel emotions, after a lot of crying, the soldiers' grievances were suddenly reduced by more than half, and the army's heart was temporarily stabilized, but if you want to get out of this Jedi, you must find a water source, otherwise within three days, the army will inevitably collapse!
"Please rest assured, the Prime Minister, the last general and his brothers will do their best to find a place for water and ensure that the logistics of the army are worry-free!"
The yellow squirrel came out of the crowd, knelt on his knees and saluted, the diggers were good at digging holes, and it was their duty to find water sources, and they pulled out the Heavenly Sword, wiped the dust on it with their sleeves, and wanted to hand it back to the Prime Minister!
When his finger touched the tip of the sword, he felt a hint of coolness, as well as a faint sense of moisture, although it was extremely small, it was real, and the tomb robbers were very familiar with this feeling when they shuttled underground all year round!
"Huh? --Brush! Brush! Brush! ”
……………………
The yellow squirrel's heart rolled for a while, first sniffed the ground with his nose, and then quickly dug up, really like a big mouse, in a moment, he dug a deep pit, as his hands went deep into the sand, the coolness became stronger and stronger......
Cao Cao and the generals all widened their eyes, waiting for a miracle to appear, the yellow squirrel's ability to burrow and find treasures, they are quite clear, could it be that there is something unusual about the place where the sword is inserted?
At the same time, several diggers ran over and took out some iron pipes from their pockets, the thickness of the eggs, the middle was empty, and the ends were threaded, one of which had an oval pointed end, which was quickly assembled and smashed into the ground with a heavy hammer, which was the famous - the Wushou!
This is a tool invented by Xiao Yi, the structure is simple, easy to carry, can go deep into the ground more than ten zhang, with the soil carried out, to find out the actual situation underground, equipped to the digger army, is the artifact of digging graves!
"Boom! Boom! --Wow! Wow! ”
The tip of the shovel went four or five feet deep into the ground, and the resistance suddenly became smaller, indicating that it had penetrated the thick soil layer, and there was a 'whooshing' sound, and several diggers immediately judged that this was encountering groundwater!
Sure enough, several people worked together, and just pulled out the iron pipe, a stream of clear underground water gushed out, sprayed into the sky three or four feet high, and then sprinkled all around - crystal clear, wonderful!
"There's water! --There is really water, this is a god-given spring--haha! ”
"The Prime Minister moved the heavens, so the sword was inserted into the ground, and the spring water gushed out, which is the great blessing of the master!"
"Hooray! -Banzai! --Long live the Prime Minister! ”
……………………
When the soldiers were thirsty, a spring was dug out of the ground, which happened to be the place where Cao Cao inserted his sword, such a coincidental thing, if there is no blessing from heaven, I'm afraid no one will believe it!
The Chinese people believe in 'heaven and man induction', whoever has the protection of heaven must not be an ordinary man, so the crowd is angry, crowding forward, and Cao Cao is held high, cheering long live, straight into the sky!
At the same time, the water continued to gush out, flowing to a low-lying place, and it turned out to be a lake, and the water quality was so clear that the bottom was almost visible, enough for 80,000 horses to drink!
The generals immediately put their ranks in order, let the soldiers fetch water in turn, so as not to cause a scramble, and set up bonfires in the sand, and boiled food with iron helmets, because most of the dry food was lost, so they had to slaughter some mules and horses, so that the soldiers could fill their stomachs!
The hot soup is under the stomach, the military heart is naturally stable, and the fighting spirit is high, God is so blessed, the spring water is given in the desert, this battle is undoubtedly won!
Cao Cao was also very happy, but he didn't expect that at the end of the road, he actually got up and died, and in order to celebrate this miracle, he also named the lake: 'Inserting Sword Lake', let the accompanying officials record it, and go back to talk about it, so as to prove himself - the heavens protect it, and it will be the master!
It is conceivable that this matter will be transmitted back to the mainland of the Central Plains, how much impact it will bring, and when the Cao family usurps the Han Dynasty in the future, it will also reduce a lot of resistance, and the Han Gaozu - Liu Bang 'draw a sword and cut the snake, the Red Emperor kills the White Emperor', there is a similar effect!
"It's really good luck, such a thing can also be encountered, and it can be regarded as immortal, so I should tell Da Sima ......"
After the yellow rat surveyed the terrain, he instantly understood that this is the hometown of the Donghu people, there is a rushing white wolf river, and then the earth's crust changed, and the river was also buried underground!
A huge storm blew the flat ground into a big crater, and also exposed the original river channel, just when Cao Cao inserted the sword, bringing out a little water vapor, then the groundwater was discovered, and finally the fountain was excavated, quenching the thirst of the army!
Of course, this is the power of heaven and earth, a coincidence, but also Cao Cao's blessing to the sky, life should not be extinct, otherwise a sword is inserted, how can it fall on the dark river, maybe in the dark, there is really a fate arrangement!
In the next two days, the army was stationed next to the lake, recuperating and recovering their strength, and peeled off the fur of the mules and horses, and used the skin to hold the water.
The generals who participated in this battle, such as Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Zhang He, Gao Ran and others, in the future, led the army to go out and set up camp, the first consideration was the water source, and sometimes they would rather give up the danger than be stationed near the river, and they were really thirsty!
Those surviving soldiers also left a psychological shadow, developed the habit of 'a pot of water, drink it many times, and after drinking, lick the mouth of the pot', all of them cherish the water, even when they sleep at night, they must put some water around them, so that they can sleep peacefully!
Cao Cao Gui was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he couldn't escape, after the army triumphed and returned to Xuchang, he immediately ordered his subordinates to dig a few more wells in the prime minister's mansion.
Therefore, the number of wells in the Prime Minister's Mansion is the largest among the magnates, and it has become one of the family rules, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
If you walk into an ordinary family, if there are more than two wells, there is no doubt that the surname is Cao, and it may be Cao Cao's direct descendants--haha!
After two days of repairing, the army regained its vitality and continued to move forward, day and night, and finally after four days, it walked out of the five hundred miles of Jedi and approached the holy land of the Karasuma people - White Wolf Mountain!
