On the tenth day of Cao Pi's arrival in Juntun, on the main hall of the mansion of the general of Diannong Zhonglang, Ren Jun was playing against Cao Pi, at this time it was December, the winter wind in Yingchuan was cold, and the cold could still be felt through the wall. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the wall of this mansion is not smeared with peppercorns, and it is still very cold indoors.

Now there is an incense burner with a very rough carving next to the game between the two, this stove is much larger than the ordinary incense burner, about the same size as a water tank, and the incense inside is naturally more than that, so the whole main hall is the smell of incense, and because there is a lot of burning incense, the incense burner is metal, and it emits a heat wave, making the temperature of the main hall a little higher than outside.

This is already the best means of keeping warm in the military house, there is no cotton in the Han Dynasty, rich people such as Cao Pi can wear lambs, fox skins and other robes, no money can only rely on two layers of linen sewn together, the middle is filled with some miscellaneous hemp, silk cotton to keep out the cold, if it is indoors, especially rich can build a pepper house, no money can change the wall into a fire wall, in fact, it is to hollow out the wall, fill in bricks, burn carbon for heating in cold weather, open the air outlet on the outside of the wall, if there is no money, Then you can only build your own stove next to the house, and use the residual temperature of cooking rice and boiling water to keep warm. Of course, there are some people who chop wood and use braziers to light a fire for heating, and the wall of Cao Pi's mansion has not been rebuilt into a fire wall, and it is far away from the kitchen, so they can only use a large incense burner to burn incense for heating, in fact, this cost is no less than building a pepper house, but Ren Jun is in charge of Cao Jun's entire logistics, and it is not a problem to burn some spices.

For the poor, surviving the winter is not as easy as in later generations, and many infirm people are just being colded to death.

Cao Pi actually felt that he was about to die of cold, because the incense burner could only warm one side of his body, and the other side of his body was still cold even if he was wrapped in fur, maybe it was because of the terrain of the military tun, here it felt two or three degrees lower than Xu Du, if he wasn't playing chess with Ren Jun now, he should hide in the room, cover a few layers of silk cotton and light two incense sticks and shrink on the couch.

But helplessly, since Cao Pi came to Juntun, Ren Junqi has been excited, and it is now winter, and Juntun and Mintun have nothing to do. General Ren will come to play chess with Cao Pi every day after breakfast, play until noon, continue to play after eating, and then leave satisfied after dinner, although the ten **** have not won a game, but still enjoy it, at this time his chess strength is much stronger than when he just played against Cao Pi, obviously from the lake ten games to understand something, but unfortunately against Cao Pi, is still passive everywhere.

Cao Pi is actually very depressed in his heart, the cold weather makes his brain not very good, in the face of Ren Jun, whose chess strength has soared, there is no longer this method of responding to the wind as fast as the wind, every five hands will be considered for a while, Ren Jun also noticed this sign, naturally more energetic, not frustrated because of the losing streak.

This sentence The two have fought to more than 230 hands, and Ren Jun's defeat has appeared, but it has finally dragged to this point, so he naturally refuses to admit defeat easily, and still struggles to support, Cao Pi can see the situation clearly, and he will have to admit defeat if the other party abandons his son within five hands.

Dian Man watched the game on the side for ten days, and got Cao Pi's guidance in the evening, and the chess strength naturally improved by leaps and bounds, although it was not as good as Ren Jun, but he could also understand the subtleties of the game between the two, and he was also very fascinated at this time, and saw Ren Jun unconsciously said: "The general will be defeated within ten hands." ”

Ren Jun laughed, and the abandoned son said, "Why do you need ten hands, five hands will be defeated, the chess strength of the virtuous nephew is really unfathomable, in fact, the ten endgames I have obtained from Sikong, and I have already understood all kinds of wonderful uses, and also added my own changes, I have not won a game in ten days, I am afraid that there are not many people in the world who can win the virtuous nephew." ”

"Uncle praised it." Cao Pi smiled and took the child.

At this time, a personal guard came to the main hall and handed over a roll of bamboo slips. said: "General, there is a military situation." ”

Ren Jun took it and said with a smile: "The Sikong army has already broken the army of Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu who attacked and disturbed Runan. I will be back in Xudu in a few days. ”

"Six days ago, General Xiahou had already repelled Yuan Tan, and now my father will return to Xudu in a few days, and I have been bothering my uncle for many days, so I should also leave."

"At this time, when I go back to Xudu, it's the right time for me to send my nephew." Ren Jun didn't keep it, and got up to send him off.

Cao Pi said that he had to work, but he did not shirk Ren Jun's kindness, and rode a horse to let Ren Jun be sent outside the military camp, and then he and Dian Man returned to Xu Du on their own.

On the way back to Xudu, the cold wind was bitter, and not only could not see the carriages of the merchants on the galloping road, but also could not see the human figures, and in winter, everyone hid in the house to keep warm.

When Xu Ducheng was already in sight, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves suddenly came from behind, Cao Pi and Dianman stopped, waiting on the side, in normal times, the gallop road can be used for anyone to walk, but when encountering a tun (that is, more than fifty people) of the army, it must give way to the army first, this is Cao Cao issued a decree in the army, if you do not obey, there will be a heavy penalty.

From the sound of horses' hooves, there should be a lot of people coming, so Cao Pi stopped and let them pass first.

After a while, I saw a group of people wearing black light armor and covering helmets actually running wild with billowing smoke and dust, the first person's clothing was very different from those knights, this person was wearing bright light armor, the knight clear light armor and black light armor were almost the same, they were all armor with steel plate armor on the front chest and back, usually the plate armor on the chest would be cast into the head of the beast, which looked very powerful. Not only that, but both the Bright Light Armor and the Black Light Armor had knee skirts made of metal armor connected by silk threads below the waist. It's just that the bright light armor is white, whether it is in the sunlight or the moonlight or even in the firelight, it will shine, while the black light armor is black, not only black, but also matte, that is, it will not reflect light.

There is only one kind of person wearing black light armor in the Cao army, that is, the sergeant of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and there is only one kind of person wearing the bright light armor, that is, the general who leads the troops, the leading general in front of him does not wear a covered helmet, but a general metal helmet, Cao Pi can see the appearance of this person clearly, this person's appearance appeared in the memory of the original Cao Pi, it is none other than another fierce general of the Cao army, Xiahou Yuan, who is currently the Taishou of Yingchuan.

Xiahou Yuan saw Cao Pi, let out a roar, and the tiger and leopard riders behind him reined in their horses, and after a while, they stopped in front of Cao Pi and Dian Man, except for the sound of the horses snorting from time to time, and the sound of rubbing against the metal armor, this army did not make a sound.

This tiger and leopard rider has exactly fifty people, in addition to Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding system, it is Xiahou Yuan's exclusive army, in addition to Xiahou Yuan's exclusive tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Jun also has one person who has this privilege, that is, Xiahou Xuan, he has two tuns, a total of 100 people of tiger and leopard cavalry.

Xiahou Yuan smiled on the horse at this time: "Childe, where are you going?" ”

"Go to Xudu, where is the general going?"

"The little girl of Xiaguan is not used to living in Xudu, so Xiaguan came to Xudu to pick her up, and then sent her back to her hometown Peiguo County."

Although Xiahou Yuan is the Taishou of Yingchuan, but there is no garrison in Xudu, but the army is stationed in Yanling County, the junction of Hanoi County and Yingchuan County under the rule of Si Li's Captain's Department, and now Hanoi is not under the control of Cao's army, and there are local wealthy clans in the county, there are also separatist warlords, and bandits Xiangma, sometimes Yuan Shao will also send troops to wander around, the situation is complicated, so it is necessary to garrison troops on its border.

Being able to let Xiahou Yuan personally rush back from Yanling County to pick him up shows that this daughter is very important.
