Jia Xu rushed to Yecheng to replace Guo Jia to help Zhao Yun, and after some preparations, he set off to Jingzhou with Xu Shu and Liu Yun, Guo Jia's status in Liu Yi's army is not trivial, and his safety is very important.

Zhao Yun and Jia Xu led the generals to personally send it out of Yecheng, and Yan Liang led the cavalry to escort Guo Jia to the border of Jizhou, a walk through Qingzhou through Yuzhou first to Nanyang under Liu Biao, and then to Xiangyang, the seat of Jingzhou, this route is also carefully designed by Tianer, along the way there will be people among them, this time Liu Yi played the banner of the Son of Heaven, but he was not afraid of Cao Cao from it.

For the details of Guo Jia and his entourage, Liu Yi, who is in Beiping, is always paying attention, and everywhere they pass, there will be people with Tian'er using carrier pigeons to pass their whereabouts to Beiping, if there is really anything in case, Liu Yi will be able to get the news in less than three days, and it will take more than a month to go to Jingzhou according to the footsteps of the line, and before the news comes here, the general's illness will not be good.

After everyone entered Yuzhou, the festive atmosphere of Beiping, the capital of Han, was intense, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days. The word Mid-Autumn Festival first came from the Book of Rites, the behavior of admiring the moon has been in ancient times, but it is not all over the people, and there is no meaning of reunion in later generations, the determination of this festival is only official records in the Song Dynasty, but in this life there is Liu Yi's coming, as early as three years ago, he played the Son of Heaven to clarify the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the lonely in later generations is the reunion in his life.

Of course, the prevalence of this festival in the north is also inseparable from the prosperity under the rule of Liu Yi, the people are not worried about food and clothing to be in the mood to celebrate the festival, and the gathering of literati in Beiping has also made the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation a very tasteful thing, and the merchants will lose no time in joining it, and the night market in Beiping will be extremely prosperous every year! At that time, there was no moon cake, and what everyone ate in the Mid-Autumn Festival was called Hu cake, because the stuffing thing was introduced by Zhang Qian, so it got this name.

For Liu Yi, the Mid-Autumn Festival in addition to the family reunion also has this important significance, basically every year at this time, the harvest can be roughly determined, although this year is not said to be smooth but there is no big disaster, the counties are very optimistic about the autumn harvest, after all, this is the foundation of the country, but also Liu Yi's biggest reliance.

The atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival has been reflected in Liu's mansion, after the general's condition gradually improved, it was decided that this year's festival will be feasted together in the garden, and all the subordinates and maids in the banquet may also get gifts from the general, the general's mansion is famous for its generosity to the subordinates, especially Liu Yi himself, because he has an equal vision in his nature, all this will naturally be revealed on weekdays, of course, the premise is that you can be faithful.

At this time, in the inner hall of the general's mansion, Liu Yi is playing against his beloved wife, a kind of concubine is around him from time to time to give her husband ideas, this time is inconvenient to go out, Liu Yi stays at home almost all day long, for his wives and concubines, this is a great happiness, idle, he will also play mahjong and chess with the women, but the interest in the latter is obviously greater than the former.

On the scene, it seems that Liu Yi is a lot of people, but on the board his white son is tightly entangled by Cai Yan's sunspot, Dalong has the possibility of being killed at any time, at this time Lang Sheng supported his jaw with his hand, a frowning and contemplative look, holding a chess piece in his right hand and knocking on the chessboard from time to time but it was delayed, this is already the third game of today, the first two games General Liu was killed to lose his armor, fortunately, Zhen Mi Mizhen and Xian'er and others are quite familiar with this way, and this game can only be supported until now, but it can be seen that the situation of the sunspots on the board is already very dangerous, Liu Yi is thinking about how to deal with it.

In his childhood, there was a far-reaching Go competition, by the Chinese against the island country, in the case of public opinion unanimously believed that the strength of the Chinese team was a sudden rise, won the first two victories one after another, of which the master who was later called the chess saint won eleven games in a row, greatly increased the face and national pride of the Chinese people, in that era he was an idol that could be compared with the girls of the women's volleyball team, and even rose to the height of national heroes.

It was also influenced by this game, at that time also set off a frenzy of learning chess, at that time many people later became the backbone of the society, but also indirectly promoted the development of this sport, as a successful businessman in later generations, Liu Yi whether it is Go, chess or national chess has a certain level, especially Chinese chess has reached a professional level, but the late Han Dynasty Chinese chess has not yet been fully formed, the game refers to Go, some great Confucian scholars are not proficient in this way, such as Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, Liu Yu, etc. are all masters of this, But now in Liu Yi's eyes, their chess skills are probably not as good as their beloved wife, and it is always difficult for them to win in front of her.

"Admit defeat, Mrs. has advanced chess skills, and Liu is out of reach." After thinking for a while, Liu Yi took out a few chess pieces from the chess box and put them on the chessboard, which is to admit defeat for the vote, although his competitiveness is very strong, but chess is different from others, the so-called chess is high, holding back his hands and feet, chess skills are not as good as the opponent, no matter how big your skills are, it is difficult to reverse, it is better to admit defeat quickly.

"The husband praised it falsely, but the concubine didn't think that the husband's chess skills still had such attainments, in fact, the concubine body at the beginning of each game could not account for the husband's half of the upper hand, and the husband and the concubine had a sense of tempering, which was very exquisite, but only after the endgame in the middle game could the concubine body turn back the situation, so it seems that if it is not for the husband's affairs are too distracted, I am afraid that the concubine body will not be the husband's opponent." Cai Yan smiled slightly and said with a straight face, this is not her pretending to be humble, Liu Yi's many opening changes are something she has never seen, but there are a lot of wonderful changes in them, so she can only minimize her losses at the beginning, and she just caught up in the middle game, so she can't give in if she wants to.

"Hehe, compared to Mrs., Liu is more than a step behind, let's stop here today, and the result will be the same if we continue." Maybe in the eyes of the rest of the women, Cai Yan said this to give her husband face, but Liu Yi knew that what Cai Yan said must be the truth, his opening is the formula summarized by countless actual battles of later generations, and it is not surprising that he has a slight upper hand if he gathers the strength of thousands of years of masters to deal with Cai Yan alone, but with the gradual complexity of the chess situation, the requirements for calculation are getting higher and higher, and he is definitely not as good as his beloved wife in terms of his own strength, and it is natural to have this situation.

"My sister was famous all over the world back then, and she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her husband's loss to her sister was nothing." Zhen Mi spoke on the side to cheer up her husband, and all she heard on weekdays was how her husband won every battle, but such a scene is not easy to see.

"Mi'er, do you think your husband can't afford to lose? To be honest, I'm not as good as you have more places, not to mention the matter of learning words and reading, even mahjong is also for your husband to teach you, but now the worst loss at home is me. Liu Yi asked in surprise, and then there was a burst of laughter, but his wives and concubines are indeed ice and snow smart, and they are extremely fast to learn some new things.

"The husband has a big mind, how can he not afford to lose, Mi'er knows that you are deliberately making our sisters happy, now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the husband is willing to have fun with the house, they all have gifts, but I don't know what the husband has prepared for my sister and us?" Zhen Mi chuckled when she heard this, her husband is the best at surprising them on weekdays, and now that the festival is approaching, she is naturally looking forward to it.

"This can't be said, the art of war is cloudy, surprise can win, it's not interesting to let you know, rest assured, this gift will definitely have a share of everyone, today my mother asked us to go to her courtyard to eat, or go over early to serve, Yan'er Mi'er, you wait a minute, there are still things to ask for your husband." Liu Yi smiled and gave the girls a promise, and said again.

Mi Zhen and the others went together when they heard this, and at this time there were only three people left in the hall, and Cai Yan and Zhen Mi had smiles on their faces, as if they knew why their husbands wanted to leave them.

"The two sons, as the saying goes, intersect with righteousness, last time Liu was obedient to you, why did you go together for the past half a month and leave your husband behind, but what is the reason?" It turned out that after going back to that *** last year, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi went with Wang Xinran twice in the past half month, and they didn't mention the details to their husbands afterwards, and Liu Yi didn't ask until today.

Cai Yan smiled without saying a word, but looked at Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi also smiled sweetly and said to Liu Yi: "I don't know who said that he had no intention of this, does the husband have today's question, do you still remember the Feng Ruoxi girl in ***?" But it's no wonder that the wind girl is in the prime of her youth.

"Mi'er, do you know that it's so cute for you to pretend to be jealous! The husband has no other intentions for that Feng Ruoxi, and he naturally cares about his wife, and he wants to come to you for her inadequacy, but it is a pity that he is so popular but has a thin life, I don't know if I can get anything? Liu Yi deliberately whispered close to Zhen Mi's ear, making the jade people coquettish before laughing.

"It seems that the husband also has pity for the wind girl, if we can save the wind girl's life within our ability, I wonder if the husband can help?" Cai Yan asked at this time.

Liu Yi didn't know what his beloved wife meant by this, but he had no ghosts in his heart, he was frank, and said at the moment: "Saving people's lives is a good deed, and you should do it within your ability, but the illness of the wind girl has no good plan even for Mr. Hua, what can you do with your husband and me." ”

"Hehe, as long as the husband agrees to help each other, you have a gift for the concubine on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, of course our sisters will not forget the husband, but the art of war is cloudy, and surprise can win, now it is impossible to say, Mi'er, let's go quickly, my mother is still waiting to help." Cai Yan smiled and returned what Liu Yi said word for word, but he pulled Zhen Mi and walked out of the hall.

"Surprise? Hehe, this is not bad, but I don't know what it has to do with that Feng Ruoxi? Didn't you invite her to come to the General's Mansion to play a song? Liu Yi thought for a moment but he couldn't help it, and then he walked out of the hall quickly and chased after the second daughter.

The atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beiping City is quite strong, but in Guangling City at the turn of Xu Yang, it is a different scene, Liu Bei almost the entire Xuzhou available soldiers gathered here, intending to seek Jiangdong.

"Big brother, what did Liu Yi say in his letter?" Seeing that Liu Bei fell into contemplation after reading Liu Yi's handwriting, Zhang Fei on the side couldn't help but ask.

Liu Bei didn't answer, but handed over the silk to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the two generals were angry but also happy when they looked at the letter, and the expression on their faces was very complicated.

"Big brother, Liu Yi is determined to ask my brother to use troops first to show his sincerity, and he does not hide his covetousness for the land of Xuzhou, but in terms of the entire battle situation, it is very similar to the speculation of the eldest brother that day, and even exceeds your and my expectations. After a while, Guan Yu spoke.

"Liu Yi sent troops into Xuzhou to kill two birds with one stone, but compared to others, this person's promise is indeed quite credible, no matter what he says, our brothers and other brothers can only go south to Yangzhou This road is feasible, and Sun Ce A battle Our army will have to make a desperate bet, only after winning the future can we fight against Liu Langsheng, otherwise it is very likely that this is the last battle for you and my brother!" After Liu Bei spoke, he walked out of the hall with his hands in his hands and looked in the direction of Yangzhou, and was silent for a while.

I have a bad cold today, I mistook the black film for the white film in the morning, my mind was dizzy, and the update was late, forgive me, there must be a chapter before zero o'clock.
