Chapter 342: Rain pours into the military tent(1/2)
Just when it was raining heavily, one of Liu Bei's soldiers came into the camp despite the rain and reported that there was chaos in the camp.
When Li Mengxi, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu heard this, they felt awe in their hearts and stood up in unison.
"Xi'er, my second brother and I are going to take a look. You stay here." After saying this, Liu Bei ordered his soldiers to guard the central military tent. Together with Guan Yu, the two of them raised the curtain and left the tent.
There was chaos in the army, and Liu Bei was worried about the danger, so he refused to let Li Mengxi go.
The purpose of leaving his own soldiers in the Chinese military tent was to take care of Li Mengxi and his two brothers.
After leaving the tent, the rain hit my head and face.
Passing by the place where the handsome flag was erected, Liu Bei felt a little sad in his heart when he looked at the flag that was struck by lightning and only had a bare pole left.
I walked half way in the rain.
Liu Bei suddenly stopped.
"Yun Chang." Liu Bei stopped his second brother and said in a mysterious tone, "It's strange! Someone heard that when Wenzu Cangjie coined the Chinese characters, there was a saying: "Millet falls from the sky, ghosts cry at night".
But tonight, Xi'er said that education will be greatly promoted, so that children in the world who need to learn and know can learn from it.
Every time he spoke, there would be thunder. When he finished speaking, there was no sound of thunder."
Speaking of the weird part, Liu Bei looked solemn, wiped the rainwater from his face, and muttered, "One word moved the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth."
"Our Xi'er is amazing!"
Guan Yu also felt awe-inspiring.
Before, before the rain fell, Li Mengxi talked about Daxing Education. As soon as he finished speaking, thunder fell to the ground and the commander's flag was set on fire.
When they returned to the tent, just as the elder brother said, every word Li Mengxi said was shocking.
No matter how you think about it, it's such a coincidence.
The rain was pouring heavily, the sound of rain crackling in the night, and the howling of the strong wind, like the cry of ghosts.
The ancients were superstitious. Liu Bei thought it was true, and Guan Yu felt the same way.
The two of them tacitly understood that their military advisor might really be a saint.
Thinking about it in this way, Liu Bei felt it was a bit ridiculous, and he also felt that it was something he was thinking about.
If you think about it in a strange way, Li Mengxi is only nine years old. How many people in the past and present have been able to conquer the world at the age of nine, and have profound military strategies and astonishing knowledge?
In addition, what happened tonight was too weird...Liu Bei didn't dare to think about it anymore.
If compulsory education could be made universal throughout the world, it would be no exaggeration to say that this achievement would be comparable to that of Cangjie, the founder of the literary system.
Cangjie coined the word, why do ghosts cry at night?
Because of writing, people can become wise, people can get rid of ignorance, and ghosts and gods will gradually no longer be feared by people.
On the opening night of universal education across the world, why do ghosts cry again?
Because, when the truth is covered in the dark night, when someone comes, everything will become bright.

In the heavy rain, a group of people in the Minfu Camp got upset for some reason, and they fought and fought into a chaotic mess.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu went over and opened the door. "What's the fight about?" Liu Bei suppressed his anger and scolded everyone.
All the people were silent.
"Tell me! What's the fight about?" Liu Bei shouted angrily.
"The tent was full, and these guys insisted on squeezing in. We said we couldn't squeeze in any more, and the tent would collapse if we continued to squeeze in. This guy said he wouldn't let us in, so he pushed it over, and we all got wet.
General, do you think these guys should be beaten because they damaged the tent?" The farmer, whose face was full of mud, complained bitterly.
Suddenly there was lightning in the sky, and the bright light of the lightning cast a shadow on Liu Xuande's face.
Liu Bei turned his torch to the side and saw the tent that had fallen into the rain and was trampled into shape.
Liu Bei roughly understood the reason for the conflict.
Because there were not many tents, some people ran into the tents first to take shelter from the rain, and the people behind did not squeeze in.
Those who had already entered the tent were afraid that the tent would collapse due to the crowds, so they refused to let in; while those who had not yet entered the tent were unable to bear the rain, and conflicts broke out immediately.
When it comes to responsibility, both sides are responsible. The people on the inside are not allowed to let the people on the outside squeeze in. This is wrong.
The people outside were so impulsive that they tore down the tents and destroyed military resources. If they were to be severely prosecuted, they would lose a few heads.
Nowadays, when conflicts occur, there are also factors that do not follow the rules.
There was no provision in advance on how to take shelter when it rained. There was no provision on whether the old and the weak should take shelter first; it was better to divide the people into each tent and assign some people to each tent. When it rained, they all went to the same tent to take shelter.
, there will be no situation where some tents are crowded with too many people.
Also, when entering the tent, there should be rules. You should come one by one. You should not crowd into a group and rush in, causing the tent to collapse in panic, or causing unnecessary conflicts due to physical collisions.
In short, this fight was caused by a combination of loose discipline among civilians, defective military management, and a lack of special weather response plans.
Liu Xuande stood in the rain. His eyes swept across the blurry figures in the dark night. He criticized sternly, "The tent has fallen down. If it is put up again, it will be like this. Isn't it like this? The tent is broken, isn't it?
Have to get wet?
Pack up the tent for me! Xiaozhong, take them to my big tent to take shelter from the rain."
Liu Bei asked one of his soldiers to take the troubled civilians to the commander's tent to take shelter from the rain. After saying this, he continued to patrol the camp without looking back.
When Liu Bei arrived, everyone in the fight was worried for a while, fearing that they would be punished by military law. However, Liu Bei not only did not punish everyone, but instead saw that everyone was soaking in the rain, so he kindly asked everyone to go to the commander's tent to take shelter. The civilians who made the mistake were immediately shocked.
We felt very embarrassed. We had beaten each other just now and were covered in mud and water. Now we didn't care about anything and hurriedly went to clean up the broken tent on the ground.
Just because Liu Bei has a good temper does not mean that his soldiers have a good temper.
Liu Bei walked away, and Liu Bei's personal soldier Xiao Zhong angrily cursed at the group of fighting bastards, saying that there were only a few tents, and there were not enough tent soldiers to divide them.
Alive or something like that.
Xiao Zhong, Liu Bei's personal soldier, had a bad temper and scolded the common people so badly that they did not dare to talk to him.
"Have you packed up? Let's go and take shelter from the rain in the big tent." Xiao Zhong's teeth itched with anger, "I asked you to go to the big tent to take shelter from the rain. If you ask me, I have to let you soak in the rain all night. Then you will be honest."
The thunder was dull, the rain was noisy, and few people paid attention to Xiao Zhong's scolding.
Although he kept cursing and was very angry, Xiao Zhong still led the peasants to the big tent as ordered.
After a while, we arrived at the handsome tent.
As soon as the peasants settled down in the tent, they said, "Hey, where did you step on your feet? You stepped on the bedding! You don't have eyesight!" Xiao Zhong was angry when he saw a blind man stretching his foot to step on Liu Bei's bedclothes.
Swearing again.
The civilian husbands looked embarrassed when they were scolded, and could only smile in apology.
Although Xiao Zhong, a private soldier, scolded him unpleasantly, these civilian husbands were somewhat grateful to him, and they took everyone to take shelter from the rain no matter what.

Traveling through the rainy night, Liu Bei and Guan Yu inspected area after area. In the process, they encountered many things.
Some were crowded with too many people, and the tent was squeezed to pieces; some were set up low, and water poured into the tent; and some were filled with too many people, and some people couldn't squeeze in.
, I had no choice but to hug the quilt and put my manuscript mat on my head to protect myself from the rain, pitifully waiting for the rain to stop.
When Liu Bei saw someone who was still wet outside, he called someone over and asked him to follow behind the guards. After patrolling the camp, he would arrange a place to stay together.
The Chinese military tent was crowded with people who came to take shelter from the rain.
Li Mengxi listened to the crackling sound of the rain hitting the top of the tent, (the rain is really heavy), Li Mengxi thought to himself.
The rain at this time, compared with the many rains Li Mengxi had seen in his previous life, was not really an extreme rainstorm.
But because the environment has changed, a rain that was so heavy that Li Mengxi didn't even notice it before would now be considered a disaster by Li Mengxi.
If it were a previous life, in an office building, even if the rainfall exceeded 3,000 to 4,000 millimeters, and it was a hurricane, people would just sigh that it was raining heavily, and then turn around and go back to typing on the keyboard.
And if you walk in the rain without an umbrella, even if there is no hurricane, even if the precipitation is only two hundred millimeters, you will feel that the rain is really fucking heavy.
That's it, the situation is different, and the feeling of the size of the rain is also different.
In ancient times, various conditions were backward, and people were greatly affected by natural factors. A heavy rain would cause far more trouble to ancient people than to modern people.
Listening to the sound of rain outside the tent and the pattering of raindrops on the roof of the tent, Li Mengxi hugged his brother and comforted him, saying, "Don't be afraid, he will go to bed soon."
Suddenly, Li Mengxi felt that water had covered his toes and they were cold.
When I looked down, I saw rainwater pouring in.
Li Mengxi frowned slightly, hugged his brother and moved to a different place.
The sound of rain made people upset, and Li Mengxi looked steadily outside the tent through the figures.
Feeling the destructive power of rain, he thought a lot.
There are always not enough tents in the army. It rains on weekdays, but we have never encountered such heavy rain. Moreover, it usually rains during the day and stops at night, so it does not affect camping or sleeping.
The logistics in the army are weak. During this heavy rain, I don’t know how many people’s quilts got wet. In addition, the food in the baggage team will get damp, and the dry firewood used for fire will also get damp. As can be expected, the rain stopped.
After that, it takes a long time to start the fire and cook, which is a problem.
