Chapter 20: The Back Road and the Warm Winter
As the days passed, the situation in the Central Plains was also continuously sent to Li Ming along with the intelligence department.
Lao Cao sent troops to attack Lu Bu, and attacked all the way to Puyang City, and then got a secret letter from the Puyang City family, saying that he would help open the city gate. Lao Cao was very happy, launched a surprise attack that day, entered Puyang City, and learned that this was Chen Gong's plan.
For a time, Puyang City suddenly became a city of fire, and Cao's army suffered heavy losses, and according to intelligence, Cao Cao was almost captured.
finally left this right and wrong place, and in the end he could only retreat to Juancheng, with strong walls and clear fields, for fear that Lu Bu would take the opportunity to attack.
As a result, Lu Bu had no chance to attack at all, and he had just received Zhang Xiu's report, and when he learned that Hanoi was taken away by the imperial court, he was so angry that he almost lost Zhang Xiu.
Now that the base camp has been taken, Lu Bu can only settle down here in Yanzhou. looked at Puyang, which had been burned, and regretted it very much, this burning, the hearts of the people in Dongjun were also gone. Originally, in Chen Gong's expectation, the key was to eliminate Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao was gone, then even if he did something excessive to the people of Puyang, the local wealthy families would grit their teeth and tolerate it.
But now the hearts of the people in Yanzhou, how to subdue it is a big problem. The reason why Lao Cao lost the hearts of the people in Yanzhou was because he killed the famous man Bian Rang in the past. Chen Gong sighed, maybe he was with the wrong person.
A few days later, a piece of information was sent to Li Ming's desk, and after reading it, Li Ming's head suddenly grew and he complained: "What do you mean by sending your wife and daughter over?" ”
"This should be the back road that Lu Bu is looking for, the lord said that if you can't get along in Hanoi, you can come down to find you!" Wang Yu teased on the side, "Do you plan to marry Lu Bu?" ”
"I have a relationship with Lu Bu on the same level, and he is not as old as me for a few years, wouldn't my marriage with him be a generation shorter than him?" Li Ming shook his head directly when he heard this, the family counts as a group of wives and concubines, and there are already seven wives and concubines before and after, so you have to think about it before you get married.
"Her daughter is only in her teens, and it is estimated that it will take seven or eight years to get married, and others are estimated to only express trust and hope that you will take care of her, and they don't expect you to really marry him?" Wang Yu smiled.
"Speaking of which, what about your daughter? Three years old, right?! Li Ming looked at Wang Yu and asked with a smile.
"You dare to fight Xi'er's idea, I'm not done with you!" Wang Yu jumped up directly and looked at Li Ming like a thief.
"Ahem, I'm not interested in Lu Bu's ten-year-old daughter, will I take a fancy to your three-year-old daughter? I mean, Chong'er is getting older, why don't you match the two of them? Li Ming proposed.
"What should Dong Bai do?" Wang Yu didn't expect Li Ming to mean this, thought about it carefully, and still asked.
Dong Bai grew up with Li Chong since childhood, and the two are now childhood sweethearts, and this friendship may not turn into love when they grow up in the future. If Li Chong and Wang Xi get married, what will Dong Bai do? If nothing else, Li Chong will agree?!
"The Dong family has no power, Dong Bai is a concubine!" Li Ming thought about it, the benefits of marrying Wang Yu are obviously greater, not to mention Wang Yu's loyalty, he is an object that can definitely be trusted. It is only said that the relationship with the Taiyuan Wang clan was further strengthened, which was of great help to enter the state in the later period, as well as to reduce the influence of the Jiangdong family and the Xun clan on his descendants.
"I'll go back and talk to Ning'er, if she can let go, then let Xi'er play with Shizi for a few years, if the two sides have feelings, it's not too late. You should know that I love this precious daughter, and I don't want her to be a victim of marriage! Wang Yu sighed and said slowly.
He and Zhang Ning have a concentric talisman involved, not to mention the process of giving birth to Wang Xi at the beginning, after giving birth, he loved Wang Xi very much.
Now that three years have passed, Wang Yu has not had a second child, and all his thoughts are on Wang Xi. As a child of a family, of course he understands the benefits of marrying Li Ming, but he is also concerned about Wang Xi's feelings. If the latter doesn't like it, he will do everything he can, even if he breaks with Li Ming, to stop this marriage.
Even die-hard programs can be disobedient, or this is the greatness of parental love, right?!
A few days later, Yan, Lu Qiling and others entered Li Ming's rule, and Li Ming sent Zhang Mo to greet them. Along the way, the group only felt that from Yanzhou to Jiujiang, the road was becoming more and more desolate and depressed, and as a result, they entered the Lujiang River and continued to go south, and Vietnam became more prosperous.
"Is it all so prosperous here?" Lu Qiling poked her head out curiously, looked at Zhang Mo and asked.
"It's not the most prosperous here, after all, the lord here has only been given three or four years. If you continue to go south, when you get to Zhuji in Huiji County, you will know what prosperity is, of course, Wu County is also very good now! Zhang Mo smiled.
"The south and the north are different, the north is cold, and you guys are quite warm here." Lu Qiling took a closer look at the shops selling on the street.
She was curious, after all, the main road here was divided into left and right sides, and the crowd walked halfway through, and at the same time, those vendors were not allowed to set up stalls on the street, although it seemed a little empty, but the order came out. If it is other places, it is really messy, and the so-called prosperity gives people the feeling of being more dirty and messy.
"Actually, this year's winter is already warm, and it has begun to snow in the sky at this time. As a result, when we went south, it hadn't snowed in Yanzhou. Yan was sighing.
"Warm Winter...... Indeed, this is a problem! The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Zhang Mo is proficient in agriculture in the end, because he immediately realized a problem when he heard this statement.
sent Yan and the others to the mansion that had been arranged, and then came to the Hou Mansion to meet Li Ming. The guards guarding the Hou Mansion were all from the Guards, and when they saw Zhang Mo, they naturally let him go directly. There are still shadow guards lurking around, but Zhang Mo won't care.
"Lord, there is something to report, the situation is a bit urgent!" After Zhang Mo got permission, he came to Li Ming.
"It's rare to see you in such a hurry, let's talk about it!" Hearing this, Li Ming put down the book in his hand and asked very seriously.
"This winter has been warm! Maybe many people don't have to worry about the elderly or children freezing to death in winter, but with the same weather, it is easy to have drought in the second year, and more importantly, there may be locust plagues! Especially in the Central Plains, the Central Plains, which lacks an ecological chain, will inevitably be shrouded by locust plagues, and as for Jiangdong, Wu County, Guangling County and Xiapi County also need to be careful! Zhang Mo was very serious, and even a little solemn.
"Indeed, I seem to have seen it somewhere before, saying that if the snow layer is not thick enough in winter, there is no way to freeze the eggs in the ground, and a large number of locusts will multiply the next day, causing locust plagues......" Li Ming nodded, Zhang Mo's worries were very well-founded.
After a pause, he looked at Zhang Mo and said, "Your reminder is very important, and I will arrange to deal with this next...... And Lu Bu's side...... It depends on the situation, and I want to remind you...... Lao Cao's side...... Forget it, each has a destiny! ”
In the end, it was not his own person, Li Ming did not have any obligation to help Cao Cao.
Watching Zhang Mo say goodbye and leave, Li Ming leaned back in his chair and muttered in a low voice: "Speaking of which, I seem to have heard before, locust fried or fried is delicious, why don't you try it?" If it is really nutritious, it is also a good choice to purchase and make protein powder into protein powder for the army! ”
