Chapter Ninety-Seven: Bao Chen and Sun
As soon as Lu Qiling came out of the sealed boudoir and went straight to Yan Lin's bedroom, she wanted to say hello to Lu Bu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Father... Father..."Lu Qiling's cheerful voice came from afar.
"Go out and stop Ling'er, don't let her in." Yan Lin stretched out her crimson face from the couch and said to the maid outside.
"Madame and the General are... Being..."The maid didn't know how to tell Lu Qiling, and said with a red face.
"Father, mother, I'm in." Lu Qiling was about to push the maid away and enter the back room.
The maidservant hurriedly grabbed Lu Qiling and said, "The general and the lady are discussing things, the little lady will come back later." ”
Lu Qiling has not been able to go to the barracks for many days, and she can't wait to go back to the barracks to see if the female soldiers under her command are lazy. Seeing that her father and mother were discussing things, she didn't wait for Ann to turn around and run out of the backyard, turned back to the inner room and said loudly, "Father, I'll go to the barracks first." I'll come back in the evening to say hello. ”
Lu Bu and Yan Lin tossed until the afternoon. Get up and wash up, planning to go to the Taishou Mansion to see if there is any urgent official document before it gets dark.
"Didn't the general say okay, go and visit the Du family?" Yan Lin grabbed Lu Bu and said.
"Let's go." Yan Lin took Lu Bu and walked towards the side hall where Du Shi lived. In the distance, I heard the voice of talking from the gazebo in the garden of the side hall.
Seeing Diao Chan and Cao Ling stroking Du Xiuniang's upright belly, the two were so excited that they felt like they were pregnant. Seeing that the pavilion was harmonious, Lu Bu was a little relieved that there was no endless fighting in his backyard, and he felt very relieved.
"Second sister, third sister, the general is here." Yan Lin greeted from afar, more to remind Cao Ling to remain quiet in front of Lu Bu. The three of them lived and died together, and their relationship grew deeper and deeper.
"Husband!" Cao Ling jumped up and grabbed Lu Bu's arm, pointed to Du Xiuli's protruding belly on the gazebo, who didn't know how to deal with herself, and said, "The little guy was still kicking me just now." So naughty, it must be a man! ”
Hearing that his wife and concubine were all men, Lu Bu was very speechless, it seemed that not having a son had become their heart disease.
Lu Bu went to the pavilion, stood for a while, stretched out and wanted to touch Du Xiuniang's protruding belly, but suddenly his wife and concubine were on the side, and her palms froze in the air.
"Husband, what are you afraid of, are you still afraid of your own blood and bones?" Cao Ling pressed Lu Bu's hand down.
"You slow down, hairy, what if you hurt the little guy?" Diao Chan and Yan Lin pulled Cao Ling behind them at the same time, isolating them from Du Xiuli.
Lu Bu slowly relaxed, and gently put his hand on Du Xiuniang's stomach, feeling that the little guy inside seemed to be very dissatisfied, and the frequency of punching and kicking was very fast.
"It hurts!" Du Xiuniang pushed Lu Bu's hand away, covered her stomach and screamed.
"Lighter." After Yan Lin finished speaking to Lu Bu, he turned his head and glared at Cao Ling: "Look at your hairy hands, you hurt the little guy!" ”
Cao Ling pouted, hiding behind Diao Chan unhappily, but his eyes looked at Du Xiuniang nervously.
"Find a doctor!" Lu Bu also panicked.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Du Xiuniang let go of her slightly frowning brow and said. Lu Bu put his hand on Du Xiuniang's stomach again, wanting to feel the little life inside.
"It hurts!" Du Xiuniang screamed again.
Seeing that Du Xiuniang's pain was caused by Lu Bu twice, several people stared at each other, and the fool could feel that it was because the child in her belly rejected Lu Bu. Lu Bu blamed himself in his heart, there were too many things for him to worry about, ignoring the feelings of the people around him. In the south of his heart, he suspected that the child in Du Xiuniang's belly was a certain Cao Dwarf, which made Du Xiuniang full of resentment towards Lu Bu, and Du Xiuniang's emotions affected the child, causing the child to reject himself.
Yan Lin saw that Lu Bu was silent and didn't speak, with a look of self-blame, and reassured Du Xiuniang: "Sister Xiuniang, don't worry, I have discussed with the general, and you will choose a zodiac Jirina in a few days." ”
"It's all up to the eldest sister to decide." Du Xiuniang gave Yan Lin a salute.
"Xiuniang, the cloth can't stand you, I've been running around for years, and I've made you suffer. I will definitely take good care of you in the future. Lu Bu thought about it for a long time, and in the face of his feelings, he didn't know how to express it.
Under Du Xiuniang's slow comfort, Lu Buke put his ear to her stomach to listen, he felt her stomach beating very gently on his face, and the little life inside slowly accepted him. The atmosphere on the gazebo slowly changed from meristem to harmony, full of joy.
The gazebo was full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Lu Bu secretly walked to the back door and told Xu Shu that he would not go to the Taishou Mansion today to deal with official documents.
The next day.
As soon as Lu Bu came to the Taishou Mansion, he saw that Xu Shu was busy checking various accounts, and the staff was even more busy.
"The lord is here?" Xu Shu raised his head from the pile of bamboo slips on the desk: "I received three news today, Gaoyou, Ping'an, Weixian, and the four counties close to Yandu in the west are urgent, and Chen Deng, the defender of Huai'an, is reorganizing the army, and will go south in the near future, so we should take precautions." ”
Sure enough, as Mr. speculated, Cao Cao sent Chen Deng to Huai'an to guard the town. He ordered all the counties under the rule of Guangling to move all the people and property who were willing to migrate with me to Huailing, and to eradicate the crops that were not yet ripe as much as possible, and only to leave the rations for the next year for the people who did not want to leave, and to carry out the practice of clearing the wilderness. Let Chen Gong arrange the rations of the people who moved to Huailing, and the people must not be allowed to go hungry. "Chen Deng and Lu Bu have a grudge against the clan, Cao Cao put Chen Deng in Huai'an to guard, it is really a good move, if Lu Bu's original plan to seize Xuzhou, I am afraid that in Huai'an there will be several vicious battles with Chen Deng, and Chen Deng can be killed first, and now, it is destined to disappoint Cao Cao.
"The lord wants to move all the people under Guangling to Guanzhong?" Xu Shu said in surprise. The distance from Guangling to Guanzhong is thousands of miles, which is not something that can be migrated simply by trying to migrate.
"I only have this plan, Guanzhong has been fighting again and again, first Dong Zhuo trouble, then Li Dao and Guo Yan disaster, and now it is the seventeenth and eighteenth route warlord melee, the people's livelihood is withering, ten rooms and nine empty, how can you compete with other princes without population? But it's a bit overwhelming to move millions of people! Lu Budao.
"I'm afraid it's very difficult to migrate the people, if you want to complete these thousands of miles, you have to go for half a year, so that the people can't grow crops for at least a year, there is no food, we don't even have much military rations, where will we give them food to survive?"
"The food is gone, so it's a big deal to find someone to borrow a little. I'm worried that Cao Cao will get in the way, we don't have so many troops to protect the migrants, so we'll leave this matter aside for the time being, and make a decision later depending on the situation. Xu Shu listened to Lu Bu's words, and his heart was bright, what to borrow from someone, who wants to borrow food? I'm afraid it's really looking for someone to rob it.
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he asked, "Aren't there three news?" What about two other pieces of news? ”
"Cao Cao's envoy arrived yesterday and said that he had sent his daughter Cao Jie to Xiapi under the new rule of Xuzhou, and asked the lord to send Cao Chun to Xiapi for exchange. The third is that Yuan Shu condemned the treachery of the lord in Shouchun, broke his word and fattened, and ordered Zhang Xun and Ji Ling to organize the army and plan to attack Guangling with Sun Ce. ”
"History has changed." Lu Bu muttered softly.
"What did the lord say?" Xu Shu didn't hear clearly, and asked rhetorically.
Lu Bu said: "It's nothing, since Cao Cao sent his daughter, since I promised Cao Cao to exchange my daughter, how can I break my promise?" Yuan Zhi has not yet married a wife, so how about marrying Cao Cao's daughter to Yuan Zhi? ”
"The lord can't, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister can't be messed up, since Cao Cao promised his daughter to the lord, he didn't dare to accept it."
"I just asked Cao Cao to send his daughter to change, but I didn't say that I wanted to take his daughter."
Whatever Lu Bu said, Xu Shu resolutely refused.
Lu Bu changed the topic and said: "Since there is a three-way army attacking, I intend to defeat Sun Ce first, and give up the four northern counties of Guangling to Chen Deng, and the six counties in the south, including Guangling City, to Sun Ce, and our army retreats to Huailing City, mainly attacking Yuan Shu's army, and taking the opportunity to go west to Shouchun, what does Yuan Zhi think?" ”
Xu Shu heard this and said with a smile: "Doesn't the lord hate Chen Deng very much? Why did you protect him instead? ”
"Sun Ce's soldiers are strong and strong, Chen Deng's Guangling elite soldiers and Taishan have lost repeatedly, and the people are panicked, even if Cao Cao generously handed over the soldiers stationed in Huai'an to him, he can't resist Sun Ce's army, I want to cripple Sun Ce first, and let him contain each other in Guangling. Otherwise, once Sun Ce was allowed to capture Xuzhou and attack Yuan Shao from the north and south, Cao Cao in Yanzhou would have no way out. Once Yuan Shao defeats Cao Cao and gains the land of six states, no one in the world will be able to stop him. In this way, strategically, Cao Cao is not an enemy for the time being, but more like an ally, and when he can't resist Yuan Shao, I still have to provide appropriate support. Lu Bu analyzed.
"The Lord conspires with no one in the world!" Xu Shu sighed. Lu Bu was very embarrassed in his heart, because he knew the trend of history, he would analyze the Tao at the head, and once he was out of the scope of history, he returned to a state of black eyes. Xu Shu asked: "Why did the lord come from the credit of more than 10,000 soldiers to defeat Sun Ce's 50,000 army plus Sun Quan's nearly 30,000 army?" ”
"Isn't there still a Yuan Zhi?" Lu Bu smiled.
"It seems that it is time to annihilate Sun Quan's army." Xu Shu straightened his body, and his face was cautious: "I'll do it tonight." ”
After Lu Bu came to Guangling, he went to the women's camp to inspect the number of times he could only count on his hand, first, he was very short of time, and second, he couldn't command the women's camp at all, and the female soldiers of the women's camp only obeyed Lu Qiling and the deputy general Mi Shi. The Mi clan was originally a dependent farmer of the Mi family's cultivated land, but later stood out with his strength and fierceness in the Battle of Pengcheng, and was appointed as a deputy general by Lu Qiling. But he didn't give Lu Bu a face at all.
"Yuan Zhi and I will go and inspect the situation of each battalion." Lu Bu invited Xu Shu to go to the barracks together, Xu Shu was talented, but he had little experience in battle, so it was necessary for him to know more about the soldiers in order to be flexible and mobilized.
Taishou Mansion is not far from the military camp, and it will arrive in a short time. Sun Guan and Sun Kang were training soldiers, and Li Damu was wielding the Overlord Gun weakly on the side to train his strength.
When the generals saw Lu Bu coming, they listened to the training, and shouted at the same time: "See the general." ”
Thousands of soldiers turned around at the same time and shouted: "See the general." ”
After coming to Guangling, Lu Bu listened to Xu Shu's advice, and his generals called the lord in private, and Yu Gong called the general, otherwise how would many officials who did not recognize him as the lord deal with themselves in the future? The power will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and it is impossible for others not to appoint anyone without recognizing the Lord, right?
Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, originally he didn't stop training with the soldiers halfway in the past and salute himself, but later he wanted to let all the soldiers know him, and he must attract their attention when he arrives, otherwise they don't know who the real boss is, and it is easy to cause a situation where generals at all levels support their own troops. For this reason, every time Lu Bu arrives, he will give a useless nonsense to prove that he is the boss.
After Lu Bu instructed the soldiers, he personally demonstrated a few simple killing moves on the point platform, and took Xu Shu to the women's camp across the wall again.
