Chapter 045: Heaven Helps Gangneung

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei talked until late at night, and said a lot of their thoughts on how to defend Jiangling City. The defense of Gangneung Fortress has also been consolidated more and more through rectification! Cao's army continued to attack the city for dozens of days, and the weather became colder and colder, and the soldiers on the city head could not open their eyes as the cold northwest wind blew. Cao Jun outside the city also raised fires to keep warm. Cao's offensive gradually slowed down. The situation in Gangneung City seems to have stabilized.

At this time, coal had not yet been discovered and used in China, let alone cotton clothing. This year's winter also came very early, and winter was very difficult for the Han Dynasty, especially these years encountered the Xiaoice River period, and the winter was as cold as a year. Zhuge New Mansion has hoarded a lot of dry firewood and grass that has been chopped well. It was hoarded by the servants of the original Liu Xian's mansion in the autumn for the original owner's winter heating. It's a pity that I didn't expect that before winter, this mansion changed owners.

Huang Wanzhen was a kind person, and after taking over the mansion, she did not dismiss these servants, and most of them were allowed to stay. During the Han and Han dynasties, slavery was very popular, and many of these servants were enslaved for generations. There are slaves in the government, and you must have an identity certificate issued by the owner of each mansion when you walk outside, otherwise you will be arrested as a fugitive slave. Those who are to be punished with severe punishments. Besides, there is chaos outside, and countless people have been displaced. Being able to attach to these wealthy families is often blessed. So these servants are happy to stay, and they don't care too much about who they are serving.

Huang Wanzhen is a young lady from a big family in Jingxiang, who has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she has a lot of experience in this way. I chose some honest and reliable girls and some old people in Zhuge Mansion to serve as stewards everywhere. The affairs of the government are gradually getting on the right track. Zhuge Liang's father and son have some reliable people around them to take care of, and their lives have also nourished a lot.

In the past, although the Zhuge family was born in a prestigious family, but since moving to Jingzhou, due to the loss of economic resources, life is quite poor. Especially after the death of Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan, the life of the family was even more difficult. Fortunately, Liu Biao and Cai Mao, Zhuge Xuan's friends before his death, read Zhuge Xuan's affection, and often sent some finances to help. The Zhuge brothers can barely survive. Later, with Zhuge Liang's two sisters and eldest brother Zhuge Jin, they married one after another, and they became officials. Life gradually became more and more prosperous. Later, after Huang Wanzhen got married, she brought a lot of dowries and servants. The Zhuge family gradually returned to its former atmosphere. In later generations, it is pure nonsense to say that Zhuge Daddy cultivated the acres to prove that Zhuge Daddy was born poor, and it was just some self-entertaining projects of the scholars at that time in order to show their high level! For example, Ji Kang, a famous scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty, once struck iron himself, of course, it was not because of the needs of life.

Zhuge Liang's current mansion in Jiangling was originally the private residence of Liu Xian in Jiangling. Liu Xian, the name of the first sect, was a native of Lingling County (now Yongzhou, Hunan). Erudite and strong, Ming allusions. When he was Liu Biao's driver, he persuaded Liu Biao to attach himself to Cao Cao, but Liu Biao was undecided. Later, Liu Biao sent an envoy to Xu Du to refute Cao Cao's criticism of Liu Biao in front of the public, leaving Cao Cao speechless. Speaking of which, this guy is quite a loyal courtier. When Liu Bei first took refuge in Liu Biao, he also had contact with this Liu Beijia, and they had a very happy conversation. However, since Liu Xian, this guy surrendered to Cao Cao with Cai Mao. Liu Bei won't be polite to him! Therefore, after Liu Bei entered the city, he confiscated all the private property left in Jiangling by many surrender factions like Liu Xian, and then rewarded his subordinates with meritorious soldiers. Liu Xian's private house was built very gorgeously, and Liu Bei liked it very much after seeing it, so he specially kept it for Zhuge Daddy.

After the offensive of the Cao army outside the city slowed down, Liu Bei did not guard the city day and night. He installed a lot of bronze bells on the towers for alarms. and made an agreement with the defenders of the city for a signal. In normal times, Liu Bei can distinguish the number of siege soldiers of the Cao army as long as the bronze bell from the city tower is heard. In the past few days, Liu Bei often stayed in Zhuge Liang's mansion and talked with Zhuge Dad all night. Seriously affects Zhuge Dad's sleep. caused the dissatisfaction of Zhuge and the whole family.

It snowed heavily in the early morning of this day, and Young Master Zhuge got up very early, pushed open the door, and a cold wind hit. Zhuge Zhan fought a cold war. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in my mind. "Why didn't I think of that?" As he spoke, he quickly got up and let the maid dress up. Zhuge Zhan has two maids by his side, Xiaoju and Xiaomei. They were all personally selected by Mrs. Zhuge , they were all eleven or twelve years old, and they were all quite handsome, and the two people who were most favored by Mrs. Zhuge were very calm and sophisticated, without the restlessness of ordinary girls of this age.

"Oops, hurry up! I'm in a hurry! "Young Master Zhuge is afraid that he will shake his head and forget the doctrine just now.

"Hee-hee! Master, what can you do in a hurry! It's still early, so we'll have to wait a little longer for breakfast! Xiaomei quipped while dressing Zhuge Zhan.

"Go, go, go! Do you think your young master is just a foodie? Zhuge Zhan complained dissatisfiedly.

"Foodie? Hehe, that's a very apt word! Xiaomei called for washing water from outside, and when she heard Zhuge Zhan's complaint as soon as she entered the door, she also smiled and helped. Young Master Zhuge is so depressed! Usually my brother is too approachable, but these two girls are now more and more big and small!

"Young Master, it's okay! What do you think? Xiao Ju took the bronze mirror and gave it to Young Master Zhuge to take a photo.

"Hey!" Young Master Zhuge sighed, his face depressed.

"What's wrong? Is it because Xiaoju didn't do a good job, and the young master is not satisfied? Xiao Ju was a little puzzled.

"No, I just thought, how can I grow so handsome! I'm embarrassed! Young Master Zhuge said with a serious sigh. This look caused the two girls to laugh and lean back together.

"Hehehe, young master, you are becoming more and more narcissistic!" Xiaomei scolded with a disdainful smile.

"Cut!" Young Master Zhuge raised his head and expressed disdain, "Oops! You've all made it so hard that you almost forgot the real thing! With that, he ran out the door.

"Young master, it's cold outside, add a coat!" Xiaomei rushed out of the door with her coat and found that Young Master Zhuge didn't know where he had run away.

In fact, where can Young Master Zhuge go? I'm going to find Daddy Zhuge . Because he came up with a way to make it impossible for Cao's army to conquer Gangneung City.

"Daddy! Dad! I have it! I have it! Zhuge Zhan trotted all the way to his father's study. Today, Liu Bei often stays overnight in Zhuge Mansion. Daddy Zhuge can't sleep in his bedroom! It was not appropriate to let Huang Wanzhen go out to sleep, so these two guys often dealt with each other in the study all night. However, Zhuge Liang's current study was originally Liu Xian's, and Liu Xian's guy is a Miao descendant of the Han family, and compared with Liu Bei, a relative who can't beat the eight poles, it seems that he has a closer relationship with the royal family. The ancestors of the clan generally have titles and titles. Liu Xian's ancestors were not as defeated as Liu Bei's ancestors, but they left a huge foundation. Zhuge Liang's mansion is just one of Liu Xian's many outer mansions! However, because Jiangling used to be the seat of Jingzhou Prefecture, Liu first wanted to work here before Liu Biao did not move the state administration to Xiangyang. Therefore, the study room of Liu Xian's mansion in Jiangling is also extraordinarily luxurious. This is also in line with the atmosphere of the Wei and Jin dynasties advocating luxury.

"Stinky boy! Slow down! Slow down! Caution: Slippery! "Zhuge Liang talked to Liu Bei late at night yesterday, and he got up very early today. As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Zhuge Zhan trotting all the way over on the pavilion corridor! Hurriedly greeted him. picked up Young Master Zhuge up.

"Stinky boy, what are you smoking crazy early in the morning!" Zhuge Liang scolded with a smile.

"Daddy, I have an idea to defend Gangneung City!" Zhuge Zhan was a little excited.

"What's the idea?"

"Ice City!"
