Xudu urn city, Xiahou Nan camp tent......

At this time, seven or eight people from the Cao family and the Xiahou family gathered here.

The older Xiahou Nan is sixteen or seventeen, and there are also women, such as Cao Jing and Xiahou Juan, and the youngest is Cao Pi, who looks more immature than Sun Quan.

Although Cao Pi was young at this time, he had a straight face, and his expression gave people a very mature look.

As for the most worried, it is undoubtedly Xiahou Nan - although his battalion is just an ordinary defense, but ...... It is obviously not proper to let siblings in as a "secret base".

Xiahou Nan secretly thought: [If my father, who has always been strict, knows, I will die......]

Obviously, even if he is his own son, he is not in the category of "insiders" of Xiahoudun's original face.

At this time, Xiahou Nan could not refuse this rally, because the initiator of this rally was Cao Pi - with Cao Cao's uprising, the relationship between Cao's and Xiahou's friends would naturally be affected by some "secular" aspects.

The previous generation of Xiahoudun could be a "handle" because he was the oldest, but this generation ...... As Cao Cao's sister-in-law, Cao Pi is obviously the highest status.

Cao Ang, who died in Wancheng before, although he was only a concubine, was raised by Cao Cao's main room, Mrs. Ding, so ...... is barely a son-in-law, after all, Mrs. Ding herself has no children, and the reason for this arrangement is probably to have an adult heir to make the generals under her command feel at ease.

However, after Mrs. Ding learned of Cao Ang's death, especially that the cause of his death was Cao Cao's impatience, she angrily separated from Cao Cao and returned to the Ding family, which was the Ding family of Ding Yi, who had been divorced before.

After Cao Cao tried several times, but still did not persuade Mrs. Ding back, he straightened out the concubine Mrs. Bian.

At this time, the atmosphere of etiquette and religion has not been formed, and it is not a new thing to straighten out the concubine room, unlike the concubines in later generations, who can only be concubines, and it is not the turn of a concubine to be a wife.

And Cao Pi, the eldest son of Mrs. Bian, naturally became the eldest son of Cao Cao.

"Zihuan, if there's anything, let's talk about it quickly...... It would be bad if my dad found out. Xiahou urged him.

"Zixiu! Xiao Juan was bullied, isn't it because of you? Why don't we get together with you? Cao Pi said unhappily, and at the same time said secretly in his heart: "And it's nothing to be discovered by Uncle Yuanrang, at most it's just an education, but it can give my father and Uncle Miaocai a good impression of loving brothers and sisters!" Hahaha, I'm such a genius! ”

"Zihuan...... You have spoken out......" Xiahou said with a dark face.

Fortunately, in this case, it is not the first time, Cao Pi was slightly embarrassed, and then returned to his previous mature look.

"Actually...... I'm not very dissatisfied, it's not like I'm being bullied...... It's just a little uncomfortable. Xiahou Juan showed gentleness, but it made the other brothers and sisters look unnatural.

In the past, Xiahou Juan showed this kind of expression, and someone was going to be unlucky.

It's like Cao Song's generation, and they don't know that Xiahou Yuan's stunt is actually "pretending to beep", in Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan's hearts, Xiahou Juan has always been a good girl, and even has a real temperament of everyone's ladies - when Xiahou Juan was a child, Xiahou Yuan's branch was not a "everyone", after all, even his son starved to death in famine......

However, the peers who are really familiar with her know that Xiahou Juan has arrogance and ...... in her bones Brutal!

In contrast, Cao Jing, who is consistent on the outside and inside, is actually a little cowardly towards Xiahou Juan.

And this time Xiahou Juan is really a little "injured", originally she was indeed a little dissatisfied with her marriage, which was inexplicably arranged, she preferred a fierce general like her uncle - this, like Cao Jing, she had never looked down on Ding Yi before.

Even Cao Jing begged Cao Pi to dissolve her engagement to Ding Yi......

Cao Pi had just become the eldest son, on the one hand, he wanted to show his father the harmony between his brother and sister, and on the other hand, he ...... Ding Yi is the nephew of Mrs. Ding who separated from Cao Cao before, when Mrs. Ding was Cao Cao's wife before, she had a somewhat discordant relationship with Mrs. Bian's mother and son, and Cao Pi also fell into the trap.

Relying on his young age, he greatly belittled Ding Yi in front of Cao Cao, which led to the occurrence of the repentance incident.

However, after all, Xiahou Juan is different from Cao Jing, he is not so arrogant in the "table state", and gradually convinces himself to accept it, and even ...... In the next two months, in Xiahou Juan's fantasy world, she and Bai Tu's children have reached marriageable age, and they are still thinking about marrying Xiaoba's cousin's children again.

Who knows the final result, it was Bai Tu who decisively rejected her?

In the dream, "the family is ruined", Li Xiahou Juan was about to move, and found his cousin Cao Pi......

Although in terms of blood, Cao Pi should be a cousin, but according to the rules at this time, the same surname is considered "the same house", since Cao Song has changed his surname to Cao, then the relatives of the Xiahou family are at most cousins.

Hence this rally......

After Xiahou Juan's performance of "I see pity", the brothers and sisters of the Cao family and the Xiahou family began to scold the Jiangdong scumbag.

They do know Xiahou Juan's character, but ...... It's because I know that I don't want to offend!

It's just that Xiahou Nan also feels inexplicable, Bai Tu is far away in Jiangdong, and he is Qu Ahou, a chariot general, and their usual "calculating" opponents...... For example, the weak chicken Ding, who did not want to be named, is not at the same level at all.

No matter how happy they are in the meeting, can it affect the white picture?

But anyway, if you scold Bai Tu here, there will be no two pieces of meat missing, which is better than being hated by Xiahou Juan because he scolded loudly.

"It just doesn't make sense! When I lead the troops alone in the future, I will definitely capture that guy in front of Juan Mei and let him know that he has no eyes! Xiahou Nan said in a loud manner.

And at this moment, only a sound of footsteps was heard, and ...... It seems that Xiahou Nan's personal soldiers did not stop him at all.

How old is Xiahou Mao? His personal soldiers are also his father's personal soldiers, who is coming, don't ask!

I saw Xiahou Dun, the most fierce of the Xiahou clan, and at this time, he opened the tent curtain with the wind and came in, and a pair of tiger eyes glanced at the two juniors present without anger and self-authority......

Xiahou Nan, who was originally blowing nonsense, was frozen, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down at that time, and he wondered in his heart: Shouldn't my father be in the city today?

"Uncle Xiahou! Don't blame Zixiu, he just said casually that he wouldn't really lead troops to attack Jiangdong! Xiahou Juan said immediately.

Xiahou Nan turned his head mechanically, as if to say, "Why harm me", but Xiahou Xuan may not have heard it......

Cao Jing also found that the situation was wrong at this time, although ...... Xiahou Nan's appearance is very in line with her aesthetics, but of course they fly separately at this time!

"Zixiu! How can you be so impulsive? Bai Gong is a great sage in the world, how can you be so speechless? You...... I was so disappointed! Cao Jing rebuked decisively.

Puff ......

Cao Pi bowed down unexpectedly and said, "Woo woo, uncle...... If you want to blame me, blame me! Today is ...... I invited you to come here! Brother Zixiu was also pestered by me, there is no way, it's not his fault! ”

Xiahou Nan finally understood why Xiahou Juan knew that he could not retaliate, what kind of family meeting would he hold and co-author...... The target of revenge is me?

"Daddy......"

"Shut up! Rebel son, in the barracks, where is the father and son? What about the Prisoner? Violating military orders and bringing people into the barracks without permission, how much is the cane responsible? ”

……

In addition to his own "rebel son", Xiahoudun only punished Cao Pi with a small punishment, the former with forty rods, the latter with ten rods, and then carried back to Sikong Mansion.

The military stick and staff ten is not a joke, if it really hits the thirteen-year-old Cao Pi, I am afraid that he will really have to carry it back, but ...... In fact, the beating was not so ruthless, and there was no need for Xiahou to advise, and the pro-soldiers who were punished with the cane also knew it.

Because he directly grabbed the "staff" of Cao Pi, who had the highest status, the prestige of Xiahoudun was even more spread in the army - even the lord's son-in-law said that he would be beaten, who dared to disagree?

And the rumors are still under the impetus of mysterious forces, and gradually spread throughout Xudu and Yanzhou.

As for the "real reason" of Cao Pi's cane, it also spread to the people under another mysterious force - it turned out to be to take the blame for Xiahou Nan, what a good brother!

At the same time, Xiahou Yuan also reacted to this incident...... Bai Tu actually "disliked" his daughter?

Xiahou Juan himself, after being "grounded" because of the spread of this private entry into the barracks, also looked in the mirror, clapped his hands, looked praying, and then showed a bright smile - he was not born today...... No, it's the son who didn't appear, and he took revenge...... As for the big feud? Remember it first, and report it later!

……

On the other hand, when Liu Ye returned to Xudu, it had been three years of Jian'an.

On the third day of the first month of the third year of Jian'an, the day of "Beginning of Spring" set by Qintian also symbolizes that the time of the year for cultivation has arrived.

However, in Huainan, the northeast of the Yangtze River and the southern part of the Central Plains, the drought has not eased at all!

The generals of Liangzhou, led by Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were about to run out of energy, also scolded the drought one by one - of course, the famine in Guanzhong was mainly because these unrestrained bandit armies had too much damage to agricultural production and had nothing to do with the drought.

However, seeing that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and even Yuan Shu were short of food, they also scolded the drought with peace of mind......

Mao Jue was ordered by Cao Cao to inspect the farming situation in Yan and Henan Prefectures under Cao Cao's control, and the news he brought back was not optimistic.

The drought is more serious than last year's, and if this continues, this year's Ruyin, Runan, Peijun, and Chenjun will be close to Huainan...... Almost the entire central and southern parts of Yuzhou may have no harvest, and the northern part of Yuzhou will also reduce production.

Not to mention the collection of grain taxes, I am afraid that the area that Cao Cao has already occupied will have to be transported to Yanzhou, the base camp, for grain relief......

As for the attack on Huainan? Don't even think about it!

With the background of the princes of all parties now, if you want to launch a large-scale campaign, the grain field must be in an area not far from the front line, otherwise the grain will be transported from the rear? One stone is transported to the front line and becomes three buckets, and it can't be consumed!

Liu Bei, who only has most of Xuzhou, is almost the whole territory affected, but ...... Liu Bei personally went to various counties and counties, visited the countryside, and cried in one place and another, I don't know if it was a coincidence, but it often rained wherever he passed, as if God had wrung out a few drops of water by him, but he could save an emergency.

It's just that, if you can have a good harvest of 30% in a good year, you can basically stop the idea of attacking Huainan.

On the contrary, Bai Tu is in Jiangdong and Huainan, continuing to rescue the people, and even the residents in Huainan County have begun to flee, seeing that spring is about to pass, and spring ploughing is hopeless, and even a few small wealthy families in Huainan have begun to defect to Jiangdong with their families!

In April of the third year of Jian'an, Chen Gong personally sat in the town, with some "big guys", from Guazhou...... came to the city of Guangling. 1
