Yuan Yun and Cao Jie's family affairs are decided, but they still need a series of follow-up steps such as hiring, so although Cao Jie is reluctant, he still returns to Yecheng with Bian.

After everything in the inner house was in order, Yuan Yun could finally start preparing everything about the war with peace of mind.

The first thing to do is naturally about the settlement arrangements of the Hu people, and because of Cao Ang's support at this point, everything seems to be going smoothly.

Now the western city wall of Luoyang has been reduced to a wreck with a loud blast, and a large number of skilled builders have begun to work again.

After seeing their regional plan, several elders of the Hu people were all in tears, because once this area was completed, it also meant that they could finally take root.

For this reason, the Hu people of these various tribes regarded Yuan Yun as a benefactor, and they had no objection to the various proposals of this benefactor.

As a result, a cavalry team of 10,000 people was finally established, and even this cavalry team itself was grateful to Yuan Yun, after all, Luoyang's sufficient logistics supplies were a bit exciting.

These Hu people never thought that they would have such a generous treatment as soldiers, complete sets of armor, and high-end weapons that they had never seen before, so that these Hu people felt that Luoyang did not treat them differently, and they were indeed treated as their own people, otherwise who would give such a good logistical supply?

Even the daily food was something they could never imagine, and whenever they saw fruits and desserts after the meal, many Hu soldiers did not even dare to reach out for them, in their inherent impression, this kind of food was only enjoyed by noble officers, and ordinary soldiers were absolutely untouchable.

But as time passed, when these became routines, these Hu soldiers really felt that everything was not illusory.

For this reason, all the Hu soldiers were even more excited, and felt that Luoyang was indeed very interesting to them, so the feeling of repaying this kindness deepened day by day, and the sense of belonging was established.

As far as Yuan Yun is concerned, when he saw the powerful combat power of this cavalry team for the first time, he felt a little guilty in his heart, because the weapons and equipment were all eliminated by other gunpowder troops, and the grain would exceed the stock period if he didn't eat it.

But when he found that these Hu people seemed to be extremely rudimentary, and even rejoiced in the equipment that had almost been eliminated by the Gunpowder Army, his guilt immediately vanished, and the so-called satisfaction was to provide something much better than what he had.

Two months later, Zhao Yun finally returned to Luoyang with Pang Tong, and in their place was Zhang Jaw, who had just returned from Xiliang.

And as this 10,000-strong cavalry regiment composed of Hu people, Zhao Yun seemed very satisfied, after all, the cavalry composed of Han people before was basically unable to be as powerful as Zhao Yun, but now these Hu people can do it no different from him Zhao Yun in equestrian skills, and even in some aspects, far more than Zhao Yun, such as sleeping on horseback when forcibly marching, even if they walk more than 100 miles a day than others, these knights are still full of energy.

After the cavalry team was implemented, Yuan Yun's eyes turned to the White Horse Temple outside the city, and now the information has been transmitted back from the direction of Yangzhou, Sun Ce couldn't resist his mother's request, and began to build a large number of temples one after another, and the clans in the south were also led by this atmosphere, and began to invest money in the so-called Buddhist merits, even the smallest clans would consider building such a temple on their own land, so as to obtain the so-called psychological comfort.

The number of people who generally believe in Buddhism in the south has also begun to increase, after all, the Buddhist theory of the afterlife is still very convincing.

Yuan Yun's understanding of Buddhism is really a lot of insights, so under his idea, casting the so-called golden Buddha bronze statue has also become a hobby of many families in the south, this can comfort the soul, and can be used as a treasure and hoarding things, it is simply the most ideal family treasure, so in a short period of time, there was a shortage of copper coins around Yangzhou.

For this kind of development, Yuan Yun naturally likes to see it, but he still feels that it is not enough, and hopes that the Sun family will invest more in this area, and it is best to get all the old shipwrights in those shipyards to build temples.

Time always flies very quickly when there is something to do, and when the Hu cavalry has begun to adjust to the explosion of gunpowder shells, the season also changes from winter to late summer.

Yuan Yun is still very busy these days, in addition to him, the entire Yuan Mansion is also very busy, because the day of going north to marry Cao Jie has finally arrived, so there are countless things that need to be prepared, and the eldest sister Feng Xuan even rented two Wang family's cargo ships, which can barely be loaded.

Yuan Yun looked at the various gifts prepared by his sister, and the corners of his mouth twitched, most of the promised food had been sent to Yecheng, and now he had made so many dowry gifts, I really don't know what it was for?

Thinking of what Cao Cao mentioned in the letter, Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, now his image is estimated to be a womanizer in Cao Cao, because Cao Cao's daughters seem to be very many, and Cao Cao thought it was very good to exchange a million stone of grain for a Cao Festival, so he began to introduce other daughters to Yuan Yun intentionally or unintentionally, and it was estimated that it would be even better to exchange for a few million stone of food.

"Unlucky." Yuan Yun muttered, and then glared at the big ship with Zhuge Liang.

I don't know what's wrong this time? Zhuge Liang suddenly proposed to go to Yecheng to have a look, so he took him through, but this goods also brought his wife Huang Yueying, as well as the two sisters who married into the Zhuge family with Huang Yueying, that is, Zhuge Liang's sister-in-law.

Looking at the two beauties who had the same Western Regions style as Huang Yueying, Yuan Yun felt that Zhuge Liang was quite a bastard, and he didn't even let go of his sister-in-law, so his disdainful eyes were definitely unstoppable, but he seemed to have forgotten that Cao Jie was actually also a sister-in-law, and Yuan Yun felt that his behavior was negligible, and for now, he just despised Zhuge Liang.

"Lord, Liang Fei is a lustful person, these two concubines are just Yueying's sisters, and according to custom, they will marry with their sisters." Zhuge Liang stood on the deck and said with a smile as he shook his feather fan.

Yuan Yun tilted his head and looked at Zhuge Liang's concubine again, and then said with a smile: "Huang Yueying has such a strong temperament, how could she pull such a good girl down the fire pit?" It can't be some dirty trick you used, right? ”

Zhuge Liang's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he squinted his eyes and replied: "Liang's appearance can be regarded as the dragon and phoenix among people, that is, what kind of jade tree Linfeng said by the lord, these two concubines were already bright when Liang first entered the Yellow Mansion, so Liang doesn't need anything dirty, what else is called a fire pit?" Don't you see Yueying getting younger and younger? And Liang is only these three wives and concubines, but the back house of your husband is lively, and recently he has been building a lot of construction to marry Cao Jie, so the cost of taking concubines is too extravagant and wasteful? ”

Yuan Yun sighed and said earnestly: "Actually, I want to be monogamous, but these things are not up to me, this is called following the crowd." ”

After listening to Yuan Yun, Zhuge Liang wanted to learn the popular gestures of Luoyang, and then compared a big middle finger, but Zhuge Liang still paid attention to self-cultivation after all, and finally could only pout his lips and roll his eyes, which could be regarded as exposed.

The two looked at the scenery on both sides of the river, Yuan Yuncai sighed again, and said: "This trip to Yecheng must be eventful, there are definitely not a few people in Yecheng who want to disgust me Yuan Yun, and some are estimated to want my life, so Brother Kong Ming really shouldn't bring his family here." ”

The smile on Zhuge Liang's face was still the same, and he shook the feather fan twice and said: "The lord's peace of mind is that since we are going to marry Prime Minister Cao's daughter, this is the biggest thing, and we are not easy to mess with, so the first thing we have to do after arriving in Yecheng is Liwei, which is the lord's strength." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't Brother Kong Ming persuade me to conflict less with those big families before?" Why is it that this time it seems that the world is not chaotic? ”

Zhuge Liang still shook the feather fan and said: "At this time and that time, we were not able to be self-sufficient in many things back then, just like the food problem, we needed the support of the northern clan back then, if the lord of the guild offended all these people, Luoyang really couldn't get any benefits, but now it is different."

Now many people are very dependent on Luoyang, not only fertilizer, but also all kinds of tools, and even water conservancy is in our hands, and they have almost no right to negotiate.

These are just foreshadowing, the most important reason why Liang is hard is that our gunpowder army is already the most majestic army in the world, even Prime Minister Cao Cheng has to choose a plan to weaken the gunpowder army with one stone, and dare not order us directly, it can be seen that they are far more afraid of us than they hate us, since they are afraid, then make good use of their fears, and fundamentally let those who tend to be inflammatory, and turn their backs on us, whether it is now or in the future, Cao Ang ascends the throne, Those who have different intentions have no chance.

Therefore, it is very important for us to come to Yecheng this time, and what we need to do may be a little bloody, but it has wiped some unlucky factors for the lord to marry the lord of Cao Jie. ”

Yuan Yun patiently listened to Zhuge Liang's words, praised the other party's intelligence in his heart, as well as his control of the current situation, and when he heard the word auspicious at this moment, he only smiled faintly and said: "If I say that Cao Jie is actually a phoenix flying above the nine heavens, Kong Ming can believe it?" ”

Zhuge Liang was surprised, and said with a smile in an instant: "The ability of the lord's immortal family, Liang Ke believes very much, but isn't this nine-day phoenix supposed to be the mother of the world, why did he become the lord's concubine?" ”

Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciatively: "These are not the point, I mean that I don't have to pay attention to any auspicious superstitions, since the Phoenix of the Nine Heavens is married to me Yuan Yun, then what is more difficult than this, so we will let go of our hands and feet when we go to Yecheng, and kill all directions, even if it is a river of blood."

As Kong Ming said, the stronger the strength we show in Yecheng this time, the more solid the position of Cao Ang's prince will be, which is probably what Prime Minister Cao Cheng wants to see, without enough strength, how can he rest assured that his future heir? ”

Zhuge Liang saw Yuan Yun's decision, his mood immediately relaxed, he was worried that because of marrying Cao Jie, Yuan Yun was unwilling to make a big move, but now it seems that the young lord in front of him is more urgent than anyone else, eager to prove Luoyang's strong strength.

Yuan Yun saw Zhuge Liang's face with joy, so he continued to add: "Deng Ai was also brought by me, Brother Kong Ming can make good use of it." ”

Kong Ming was taken aback and said, "The army presided over by Deng Ai also brought?" ”

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "It's not that I brought it, but it has already been arranged in Yecheng." ”
