Youzhou was decided, Liu Bei was overjoyed when he learned the news, and Zhao Xu sent Xin Bi, Chen Lin, Cui Yan, and a group of ministers and righteous soldiers; Liu Bei cried with joy. Liu Bei promoted more than 40 new civil and military officials and a class of civil and military officials in the old Qingzhou. Sent an envoy to send 800 catties of gold, 2,000 catties of silver, 50 million catties of money, and 1,000 horses of silk, and gave them to Zhao Xu and other generals. The rest of the officials and generals will be rewarded poorly. slaughtering cattle and horses, paying soldiers; Open a warehouse to help the people. Military and civilian joy.

Liu Bei to the people of Hebei and Youzhou and Qingzhou are no different, the fields are divided with the people according to the number of heads, and encourage the people to reclaim wasteland. Half a year later, the farmers were still taxed according to ten taxes, and the rest of the landlords and businessmen were also the same as Qingzhou, and the people of the two states were happy. The people have been decided, and the hearts of the people in the three states of Qing, Hebei and Youzhou are happy, and they all have the heart of respecting Liu Bei.

However, it was said that when Zhao Xu and others invaded Jicheng, Chen Zhi led his troops into the Yuan brothers' mansion, ran into the back hall, and saw that a woman had hanged herself, and a woman was crying on the ground, and she was puzzled. Then he pressed his gun and sword and asked, "May I ask who is Miss?" ”

The woman raised her head and said, "The concubine is Yuan Xi's unmarried wife, Zhen Mi. ”

Chen Zhi asked, "Since it's Yuan Xi's fiancée, why didn't you follow him out?" Then he pointed to the hanged woman and asked, "Who is this?" ”

The woman replied, "Yuan Xi went out because his brothers killed each other, and the concubine couldn't stop persuading him, and she didn't want to see her brothers fighting, so she stayed here." After saying that, he burst into tears, and said: "This is Mrs. Liu, the wife of General Yuan, who hanged herself because the city was broken and feared being humiliated." Then he began to cry again.

Chen Zhi sighed with emotion, and ordered someone to report to Zhao Xu. Chen Zhi saw that Zhen Mi was covered with dirt, and felt that he was very pitiful, and his sympathy rose, so he dragged Zhen Mi to the front and gently wiped the dirt on his face with his shirt sleeves. But see: the eyebrows are like willow leaves, the face is like a pink apricot, the jade skin is flowery, and there is the color of the country. Chen Zhi was secretly frightened, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, and he was so excited that he couldn't see it.

Zhen Mi was watched by Chen Zhi like this, her face was flushed, and she saw that Chen Zhi was heroic and majestic, and he was many times stronger than Yuan Xi. The heart can't help but pound, and the shyness becomes more and more lovable. Zhen Mi said softly: "General, please respect yourself." ”

When Chen Zhi was told by Zhen Mi, he immediately reacted, his face was also flushed, and he stammered: "Aunt... I'm sorry, some... Unintentional... Yes, I hope you will forgive me. Seeing Chen Zhi's shy appearance, Zhen Mi felt funny, and burst out laughing. Chen Zhi had personally experienced such a situation, but he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he sat down in the hall with his sword.

After a while, Zhao Xu and others also arrived. When Zhao Xu and the others came in, he saw Chen Zhi sitting in the hall with a gun and a sword, puzzled. As soon as Chen Zhi saw Zhao Xulai, he hurriedly got up and said, "Boxiong, you are here." ”

Zhao Xu said: "Uncle Zhi, you just said that you saw the body of Yuan Shao's wife, Mrs. Liu, where is it?" ”

Chen Zhi pointed to Mrs. Liu's corpse and said, "This is Mrs. Liu." ”

Zhao Xu thought: I remember that this Mrs. Liu did not commit suicide when Cao Cao broke Jizhou! was also treated well by Cao Cao, why did I attack the city and come in, she was in such a hurry to commit suicide, am I so terrifying? If Zhao Yun and the others heard this, they would definitely say: Why aren't you terrifying, defeat Yuan Shao within a year, and capture Jicheng without a single soldier, where is it not terrifying. Zhao Xu immediately ordered the soldiers to send Mrs. Liu's body to Yuan Shao's grave for burial.

I saw Zhen Mi go up and bow down and say, "Thank you, general!" Zhao Xu hadn't noticed it before, and he was also taken aback by Zhen Mi's sudden remark. Looking at that time, I saw that Zhen Mi's face was like a pink apricot color, and her jade skin was beautiful. One word flashed out of everyone's hearts: beautiful as a fairy.

Zhao Xu asked, "Who are you?" Without waiting for Zhen Mi to speak, Chen Zhi said: "This is Yuan Xi's fiancée, her name is Zhen Mi." Zhao Xu was taken aback, is this the legendary Zhen Ji? It's really a national color, I clearly remember that Zhen Ji is Yuan Xi's wife! How is it still a fiancée. Zhao Xu didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for his arrival, which would have caused Yuan Shao to perish early, Yuan Xi would have married Zhen Ji. When Zhao Xu was thinking about it, he suddenly felt puzzled in his heart, Chen Zhi had never interjected, how could he speak for this Zhen Ji first. Seeing Chen Zhi's ruddy face again, Zhen Ji's face was also crimson, as if she had guessed something, and she couldn't help grinning.

Zhao Xu said: "You are Yuan Xi's fiancée, now that several members of Yuan Shao's family have died, I have ordered someone to bury Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang next to Yuan Shao's tomb, you go and bring filial piety!" Uncle Zhi, you escort her. ”

Chen Zhi's face turned red when he heard this, and he was about to speak, when Zhao Xu shouted: "This is an order." Chen Zhi had to obey, Zhen Mi's face turned red, and Chen Zhi immediately took a few personal soldiers to send Zhen Mi out.

When Chen Zhi walked away, Zhao Xu summoned Zhao Yun and Guan Yu and said: "I see that Shu Zhi and Zhen Milang are talented and beautiful, and both of them also have affection, so it is better to let Shu Zhi take her." ”

Zhao Yunxi said: "This is very good, Uncle Zhi is also not young, it is time to marry a wife." ”

Several people discussed, and Zhao Xu sent someone to report the good news to Liu Bei. Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and the others were all overjoyed, and they all thought: Well! Youzhou is all set, and the uncle can marry a wife, double happiness is coming!

I want to think so, but after all, Jicheng has just been decided, and there are still many affairs to be dealt with, Zhao Xu and others are still busy appeasing the people everywhere, and Zhen Mi also has to wear linen and filial piety, so Chen Zhi's marriage to his wife has to be delayed for a few days.

Suddenly, Wuhuan touched a group of people to surrender, Zhao Xu heard the hurried out of the city to greet him, Wuhuan touched Zhao Xu out of the city to greet him, hurriedly dismounted, and said in a preface: "I know that Liu Xuande is the lord of benevolence and virtue in the world, and General Zhao Xu is the hero of the world. Zhao Xu was overjoyed, invited Wuhuan to enter the city, and the military horses also entered the city to settle, and invited Gongsun Du and others to surrender to the civil and military, plus his original old generals, rewarded the three armies, and celebrated all night. During the banquet, when the wine was half-drunk, Zhao Xu said to Wang Yong: "Monk! I see that you are also good at martial arts, so why don't you come and be the commander of my family! "If you want to say that this Wang Yong is not as good as Zhou Cang, Wang Yong is a first-order horseman, and if he wants to command the military horse, it is inevitable that he will make too many mistakes, so Zhao Xu wants Wang Yong to replace Zhou Cang.

Wang Yong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Eh! The general asked me to be the general, it was to give me face, I can afford to look at me, and I must carry it. ”

Zhao Xu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, come!" Cheers. ”

……

A few days later, Zhen Ji was embroidering in her room, and suddenly a maid came to report that Zhao Xu was visiting. Zhen Mi hurriedly went out to greet him, not wanting Zhao Xu to be at the door of Zhen Mi's room, Zhen Mi and Zhao Xu almost bumped into each other, and Zhen Mi's face suddenly turned red. Zhao Xu was in a hurry for a while, forgetting that this was the Three Kingdoms era, and today's women are still very conservative. Thinking of this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Please forgive Zhao for being abrupt, and hope to forgive her sins." ”

Zhen Mi hurriedly said: "The general's great grace, the concubine has not had time to thank him, not to mention that the general has no intention of making a mistake, so there is no need to ask for guilt." ”

Zhao Xu said: "Zhao is here to discuss important matters, so it is not polite." ”

"I want to hear about it."

Zhao Xu got straight to the point and said: "Miss, Zhao is here, not for anything else, but to be a matchmaker with Miss." This person is my general Chen Dao, now only seven out of twenty, although he is a martial artist, but he is also good-looking, and Miss is also a talented woman, and he missed this good relationship. Zhen Mi's face was flushed when she heard this, she couldn't open her mouth, and she became shy.

Zhao Xu saw that Zhen Mi was silent, and said, "Miss, this is a lifelong event, don't be shy." What Zhao said was all golden and jade, and persuaded the young lady to agree. ”

When Zhen Mi heard this, she had to harden her head and said, "General Zhao, Duomengguang has come to act as a matchmaker." However, the marriage is a major event, and there should also be the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, now that the concubine's parents have died, and there is no brother or relative, who is in charge? ”

Zhao Xu originally thought that Zhen Ji was unwilling, but when she heard it, she said secretly: Damn, it turns out that she is worried about this, and ancient women are really formal. At the moment, he said with an awe-inspiring face: "Miss, if Zhao is rude, although he is not talented, he is only a first-order martial artist, and there is only one brother in the family, if Miss does not dislike it, he is willing to recognize Miss as a righteous sister, what does Miss think?" ”

Zhen Mi is now lonely, and she already feels very sad in her heart, and at this time, someone is willing to accept her as her sister, so she is naturally happy. What's more, Zhao Xu is a very hero, and the name of benevolence has long been spread all over Youzhou, and Zhen Mi naturally knows it. Zhen Mi was originally a girl, so she naturally hoped that her husband or brother would be a hero of the world, and she already admired Zhao Xu very much in her heart. The husband who told himself to be a matchmaker this time is also a hero with strong martial arts and a brilliant spirit, and he also has feelings for Chen Zhi, how can Zhen Mi not allow it. At the moment, he was happy and said, "Thank you brother for your love." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Mi recognized Zhao Xu as his brother, and the fool also heard that Zhen Mi had agreed. Zhao Xu laughed and said: "Since my sister is willing to recognize me as a brother, as the saying goes: the eldest brother is like a father." The marriage of that sister is decided by me, who is the elder brother, and all the generals are matchmakers. ”

Zhen Mi's face turned crimson and said; "It's just that my sister had a marriage contract before, and now that her fiancé is dead, I'm afraid that General Chen will dislike it."

Zhao Xu said: "What's the matter, my sister is full of the country, I don't think that uncle is not worthy of you?" Okay, sister, wait a while, I'll go and talk to him. ”

Zhen Mi was still waiting to thank Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu had already walked out of the door, Zhen Mi looked at the back of Zhao Xu leaving, and thought: With such a heroic brother, three lives are lucky! I couldn't help but smile with happiness on my face.

Chen Zhi was practicing marksmanship in his yard when he heard a loud shout: "Uncle Zhi, come out quickly." Listening to this, Chen Zhi already knew that it was Zhao Xu coming, and immediately stopped, only to see Zhao Xu flashing out of the door. Chen Zhi asked, "Boxiong, you have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace!" What are you looking for me? ”

Zhao Xu's face was full of joy, and said: "Tell you good news, I see that you are not too young, as a brother, I will be a matchmaker with you and help you talk about family affairs, how about it?" ”

Chen Zhi hurriedly said: "This can't be helped, if it is undecided today, the national disaster is not settled, not to mention that you and Zilong and Xiaozhi have not married, this is really difficult to follow, if you really want to get married, our brothers will marry together." ”

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "What are you nervous about, you don't know which woman it is, what are you in such a hurry to refuse to do, among our brothers, you are the oldest; Besides, even if they are brothers, where is the reason to marry together, do you see the lord and Yun Chang and Yide, are they married together? ”

Chen was speechless and couldn't answer. Zhao Xu said again: "Let's just make it clear to you, this time I'm here to help my sister talk to the matchmaker." ”

"Sister, when did you have a sister?" Chen Zhi wondered.

"Humph! Now Zhen Mi is my sister-in-law, and I came to match her for her. ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, his face flushed, and he said, "... Examine... Miss Mi, this can't be helped, Miss Zhen Mi is so beautiful, how can I be worthy. ”

Zhao Xu was originally the main thought of later generations, and when he heard it, he still sat down, and shouted: "What is worthy or not, only whether you like it or not, touch your conscience and say, do you like her or not." ”

Chen Zhi groaned slightly and said, "I like it." ”

Zhao Xu laughed and said: "Isn't this enough, as soldiers, why bother twisting and pinching, I saw that the two of you were in love when I was in Yuan Shao's mansion, and the day after tomorrow happened to be a good day and an auspicious day, you!" Prepare! Then he got up and left. Chen Zhi was stunned for a while, just stayed where he was, and laughed three times for a long time.

In the next few days, Chen Zhi was like a dream, and in the next two days, first Zhao Xu protected Zhen Mi, and then all the generals came to congratulate him.

On the day of Chen's wedding, the rest of the complicated affairs were undertaken by Zhao Xu and others. The people of the city, the officials of the various governments, the big families of the family, the powerful and powerful, etc., all received an invitation signed by Zhao Xu himself, and the invitation card was written that there was no need to give gifts. Even Liu Bei, who was far away in Linzi, also received it. The people of Jicheng have congratulated, although the invitation does not need to give gifts, but some surplus people at home still prepared small gifts. Before Chen arrived at the house, the gongs and drums were noisy, the cars and horses were flowing, and there were more people who watched the excitement, gift-giving, helping, and maintaining order, and they just blocked a street tightly. Chen went to the cave room that night with candles, so he was not happy.
