Chapter 442: Reconciliation
When it comes to the complexity of the political regions of the three countries, Wu is second to none.
The hinterland of Shanyue is even more important, making later generations of scholars bald.
There is no doubt that the Sun-Wu era played a crucial role in the development of the southeastern coastal region. Nearly a hundred years later, the reason why the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to favor the left of the Jiangzuo was that the foundation laid in the Sun and Wu eras was indispensable.
Now is the beginning of the great era, everything is grass-roots, Wu has set up many new counties here, but the control is very limited, and loopholes are everywhere.
Even in later generations, this area, as the border of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Anhui, was also the weakest link in government control.
There must be advantages and disadvantages, the price of having a gap is that life is sparsely populated, even if there is a settlement and a village pavilion, the living conditions are extremely backward, and all kinds of almost primitive living conditions are greatly beyond Xiahou Hui's imagination, so that she really understands what is called wilderness.
Xiahou Hui was sick, with continuous fever, vomiting and discharge.
The military doctors couldn't cure these diseases, and Xiahou Hui's maid didn't know how to take care of her, so she had to turn to Cao Miao for help.
Cao Miao asked the two female guards to take care of Xiahou Hui, and he himself provided some advice, but it didn't help much. He is just an actor, and most of his medical knowledge comes from the script, and he either can't use it or dare not use it.
Who knows whether the prescriptions in those divine dramas are cures or cures life.
In the final analysis, it still depends on the resistance of Xiahou Hui himself. Fortunately, Cao Miao knew that although Xiahou Hui was a woman, she was not a delicate person. After six or seven years of marriage, five daughters were born in a row, and this vitality is not ordinarily strong.
"I'm probably going to die." During the break, Xiahou Hui lay on the stretcher and said weakly.
"I can't die." Cao Miao said. "You still haven't paid back the favor you owe me."
Xiahou Hui smiled bitterly and turned his head to look at the other soldiers. There are still some soldiers who are as unaccustomed as her, but they are strong after all, and they have not yet reached the point where she can't get up like this.
"Did you think of this a long time ago?" Xiahou Hui looked back at Cao Miao, his eyes were complicated, with both fear and appreciation.
"What?" Cao Miao was as dazed as ever.
Xiahou Hui was also accustomed to Cao Miao's pretending to be stupid, and said to himself: "I've been fine for the past two days, I've been thinking about what happened to this incident, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that there are too many coincidences." Take the matter in front of you as an example, if Desi hadn't fought near Wuchang for nearly half a year and adapted to the humble and humid environment in Jiangnan in advance, it would not have been these few people who fell ill at this time, but more than half of them. When Emperor Wu conquered Chibi, before crossing the river, the Central Plains soldiers lost three or four percent due to the epidemic. The time seems to be about the same as now, and it is also autumn and winter. ”
Cao Miao glanced at Xiahou Hui, but still didn't speak, but the corners of her mouth were lightly raised.
"Also, you brought two female guards, but didn't bring your orchids, is it because the orchids are not familiar with the environment in Jiangnan, but these two female guards are from Jiangdong and are relatively adaptable?"
Cao Miao stood up and stretched. "I'm not so godly, I didn't think that Sima Shi would leave you and take care of you with a female guard."
"Got the rest?"
"It's not counting, it's being prepared. Even if you don't use it this time, you can use it next time. The world is divided into three parts, if nothing else, there is a high probability that the Central Plains will unify Jiangdong, rather than Jiangdong will unify the Central Plains. Speaking of which, I didn't expect Da Wei to be Da Wei, but it has nothing to do with me. ”
"I can't say that it has nothing to do with you, things haven't come to that point yet."
"I'm not as confident as you."
"When you get to Liaodong, you will naturally believe it."
Cao Miao turned his head to look at Xiahou Hui, frowning slightly. "Did I promise you to go to Liaodong? I don't think I said yes. ”
"You don't have to promise me, you'll go." A smile appeared on Xiahou Hui's yellow face. "Even if I don't ask you to go, Mrs. Sun will ask you to go. Or will she let you go it alone? ”
Cao Miao blinked, and didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, he smiled and said, "Look, you still have the heart to think about this, so you can't die." So don't scare yourself, get some rest and recover sooner. ”
Xiahou Hui said reluctantly: "What should Desi do? Are you going to take him with you to Liaodong? ”
Cao Miao thought about it, squatted down again, and leaned against Xiahou Hui. "Do you think it's possible?"
"Yes." Xiahou Hui glanced at Cao Miao, and the corners of his mouth curled up unnaturally. "It's up to you what you say."
"I just don't know what to say. Or...... Are you coming? ”
"Am I going too?"
Cao Miao smiled. "Desi is brave, you are strategic, if you are willing to go, then our strength can be on par with the Wu people. I mediated from it, and Wei and Wu joined forces, and the probability of success should be at least doubled. ”
"What about after success? Can Mrs. Sun let go of such a great opportunity? ”
"Take it one step at a time, and we'll talk about it when the time comes." Cao Miao looked around and said in a low voice, "My father won't have no arrangements at all." ”
Xiahou Hui pondered for a long time and nodded. "Okay, find a chance, I'll try."
Cao Miao stretched out her hand. Xiahou Hui was puzzled by what he meant, and looked at Cao Miao suspiciously. Cao Miao said with a smile: "If the alliance is successful, of course, there must be a sense of ceremony. ”
Xiahou Hui couldn't help but smile and stretched out his hand hesitantly. Cao Miao held her hand and shook it gently. "It's a pleasure to work with."
Xiahou Hui's hands were very cold, but Cao Miao's hands were very warm, and the moment they shook each other, Xiahou Hui felt that his arms were much warmer. It's a pity that Cao Miao just shook it lightly, and then let go. Xiahou Hui was a little regretful, retracted his hand, and caged it in his sleeve, feeling a little strange in his heart.
At this time, Cao Su hurriedly walked over. "Yunliang, I just captured a county official, you come and help me interrogate."
Cao Miao got up and glanced at Xiahou Hui. "Rest well, I'll take a look." Xiahou Hui nodded, and watched Cao Miao go away with Cao Su. After a while, he suddenly felt that this emotion was wrong, and quickly withdrew his eyes and looked away.
Cao Su and Cao Miao walked side by side, and after getting out of Xiahou Hui's sight, he looked at Cao Miao. "Yunliang, when did you reconcile with Yuanrong?"
"Just now."
"How did you do that? She hated you before, gritted her teeth a few times, as if she wanted to eat you. ”
"Friends in trouble. You see that we are in such a difficult situation now, if we don't work together, everyone will have to die, what else is there to hate? ”
Cao Su thought about it, felt reasonable, and nodded vigorously.
The two came to the captive. Cao Miao squatted down, looked at the captive sitting on the ground, and took the document that had just been found from the hand of a foot soldier. The soldier was illiterate and couldn't read what was written on the paperwork. Cao Miao opened it and took a look, and her eyes lit up suddenly.
This person's name is Hou Jian, and he is a subordinate official of Poyang County, who went to Le'an County to urge grain on the order of Poyang Taishou Zhou Yi.
At first glance, you can tell that this is a disguise. It's November, fart.
