Chapter 23 Grain and Grass
Kong Ming returned to the room very late, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a box of pastries with oilcloth bags on the table, and he opened it to see that the mille-feuille cake had been bought for him by his uncle when he was there. He pinched a small piece and put it in his mouth, and it tasted exactly the same as before.
The night outside was beautiful, and the stars were exceptionally bright, which made him feel much more relaxed. He glanced at his sister's room, he didn't know if his sister had slept, she should be tired of playing today, and it was rare that she remembered to bring something to her brother.
The future is difficult and the opponent is strong. Cao Cao of Wei had insight into Liu Bei, and he couldn't wait to get rid of him quickly, and Wu was rich in land and strong in people. There is only a small Xinye here, and it is not easy for Liu Bei to restore the livelihood of this small place in a short period of time with his own efforts. For the first time, he felt a heavy responsibility. In the past, he thought he was capable of taking on heavy responsibilities, but it was easier said than done. Now the future is boundless, the strength is weak, and everything has to be accumulated little by little, which is really not easy.
Scold! It's man-made, and it's only a matter of time before the world happens.
Song Yin woke up at noon, how could she get up so late, really, no one called her.
"Little slave...... The little slave ......" Song Yin opened the door and poked her head out to look around, the little slave was the maid Liu Chen prepared for her, saying that she was serving her, but now it's good, no one knows where to go.
She reluctantly lay on the bed again, she didn't have water to wash her face, how to get out. Anyway, it's not a discharge door, go to my brother's. She tied her hair up and went straight to her brother's study. Thankfully, the senior brother didn't go anywhere.
"Senior brother, what is your important business today?" As soon as Song Yin arrived at the study, she saw a lot of books on the table, and the senior brother didn't know what he was looking for.
"You still know how to get up, the little slave just said that you haven't gotten up yet, come and ask me if I want to wake you up." Kong Ming didn't raise his head, he frowned and spoke.
Song Yin is drunk, what kind of people are these, why do they come to complain to their senior brother at every turn! It seems that she is not suitable to be a good master, Song Yin thought sinisterly, how to teach disobedient servants a lesson.
She used her cheeky skills, walked towards her senior brother with a smile, and said, "Senior brother, what can I help you?"
Kong Ming glanced up at Song Yin and replied, "Have you eaten?"
Song Yin looked at her senior brother with big aggrieved eyes and said, "Senior brother, you didn't call me for dinner."
"That's because you didn't wake up, it's not that we didn't call you." Kong Ming corrected with a stern face.
"Okay, senior brother...... I haven't washed yet. It's not the hut we live in, and I can't find water at all. ”
Kong Ming put down the work at hand and spoke: "I told the little slave to prepare the meal, she should be back soon."
Song Yin's head was running fast, could it be that the senior brother hadn't eaten yet, or was waiting for him to eat together. Song Yin looked at her senior brother with a scrutinizing expression, so good...... It seems that the meal was not so tasty either.
Kong Ming was looked at by Song Yin's eyes up and down. He glanced at the mille-feuille cake on the table, changed the subject, and said, "There is a mille-feuille cake you bought yesterday on the table, eat a little cushion first."
"Well, I ate too much of the other food yesterday, and I haven't had time to eat this yet."
"Thank you!" Kong Ming held Song Yin's hand and said these two words very sincerely. But Song Yin was directly blinded, she didn't do anything, what did she thank her? Song Yin looked at her senior brother with a puzzled expression.
Kong Ming looked at her puzzled expression, smiled and said, "Uncle this mille-feuille cake used to buy it for me, and I have always liked it." The mille-feuille cake you put on the table for me last night reminded me of my uncle and those particularly fond memories. Sister, I'm glad to be here with you. ”
At this time, Song Yin really didn't know what to say. When she first came here, she was still an orphan with no father and mother, and she had been living a muddy life for so many years, until she came here, it was different. She has a master and a brother, just like a family, and she doesn't want to be missing anyone.
"Senior brother, meeting you and Master is the greatest luck in my life." She didn't say this particularly sensational sentence, and some words would be more memorable when put in the stomach. The important thing is that she doesn't want to make a good morning so dignified. It just so happened that Anu came back in time, and she felt that Anu's voice was really heavenly at this time.
"Mr. Zhuge and Miss Song, the meal is ready, can it be put on the table now?" Anu opened her mouth stupidly, how did she feel that the atmosphere was weird.
Song Yin pulled her brother's sleeve and said aggrievedly, "Senior brother, eat first, I'm dying of hunger." ”
Kong Ming was amused by her appearance, how long had it been since he had eaten to be hungry like this. After eating, Kong Ming remembered that he talked to Liu Bei about the army yesterday, and his sister likes to read military books, maybe she has a way.
"Senior sister, the Lord offended Cao Cao and had to come to Xinye. Cao Cao thought that Liu Bei had no ability to compete anymore after the last battle. But in the past two years, the Lord's reorganization of troops in Xinye has alarmed Cao Cao. It is impossible for Cao Cao to let the Lord continue to develop, and he may soon send troops to Xinye. If there is a war, the most important thing our army lacks is food and grass. ”
"Senior brother, are you helpless?" As soon as Song Yin heard it, she knew that her senior brother was asking her to figure out a way together, and she was so happy in her heart. It's just Cao Cao, this person is too difficult to deal with. With Liu Bei's current ability, he can't compete at all, and I really don't know how Liu Bei provoked Cao Cao. Normal people will pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and when the force is enough, they can show their hole cards, and it is really anxious to see Liu Bei being killed by Cao ****.
Kong Ming saw that his junior sister had not spoken, thinking that she had no choice, so he sighed in his heart and said, "There is no way, let's think about it again!"
"Senior brother, if Cao Cao makes up his mind to clean up the lord's army, will we still be able to resist?" Song Yin asked cautiously, it wasn't that she didn't have confidence, but that the troops relied on the strength of the troops to fight, and if the disparity was too great, she couldn't compete at all.
Kong Ming frowned, his heart hung in his heart, what his senior sister said made sense. Once Cao Cao solved the current trouble and gathered a large number of soldiers and horses to plan to completely eradicate Xinye, then Xinye was indeed hopeless, and the disparity in strength was too great. It's just that Xinye has been in business for so long, how can you say give up and give up. If Cao Cao's soldiers came, pretend to resist, and then secretly transfer supplies. This not only retains strength, but also allows Cao's army to travel long distances and waste troops in vain. Then they will have time to recuperate again.
Kong Ming looked at Song Yin's worried little face and smiled happily. My sister is really his trick, and it seems that there is a solution to the most difficult things with her.
"Senior sister, I have a better way."
