Jingzhou, Linfu County.

Xiang Lang poured a cup of hot water and handed it to a young man in front of him.

Beside him, there is also a little boy, who is his nephew Xiang Pet.

The general is favored, and his sex is even.

It's this kind of pet.

At this time, Xiang Lang had not yet taken Xiang Pet to run away with Liu Bei, serving as the county commander of Linfu County, and today he received one, who came from Nanyang, and was also a classmate under Sima Hui.

It was the young man in front of him, his name was Zhuge Liang, and his name was Kong Ming.

"Kong Ming is really?"

Xiang Lang asked worriedly.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Of course it's true, otherwise I wouldn't have left Wollongong in the snow in winter and come to your Linfu County to take refuge, I wouldn't have thought of it!" ”

He took a sip of hot water, felt warm all over his body, and said after a while: "If I hadn't found out in advance and had been taken away by Cao Cao's people, I would never offend anyone in the Cao family, and my reputation would not be prominent, but why would someone from the Cao family come to Wollongong to find me and forcibly take me back to Xudu?" ”

This question made him very entangled.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was cultivating in Nanyang, was not yet famous, even if he was a little famous, he was only in the circle of scribes in Wollongong, and others did not know who he was.

But the people of the Cao family found Wollongong accurately and named him to take him away, which seemed very weird.

Looking at the people who are going to take him away, they don't seem to be very friendly, as if if he refuses to go, then he will kill people directly, and he is ruthless!

The reason for this, Zhuge Liang has never been able to figure it out.

It's a headache!

"Strange!"

Xiang Lang filled Zhuge Liang's water cup again, and said puzzledly: "Cao Cao shouldn't have heard who Kong Ming is, but he sent someone to arrest you, and even has a feeling that if you can't catch someone, he will kill you, why in the end?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head puzzled and said: "Wollongong, I can't go back, I believe that Cao Cao's people will definitely stare at Wollongong and wait for me to go back, so I can only temporarily borrow it from you, senior brother, for a while." If my brother doesn't think it's suitable, I'll look elsewhere. ”

Xiang Lang said enthusiastically: "What can be inappropriate?" Kong Ming stayed, and I arranged for someone to find out the news for you. ”

"Thank you, brother!"

Zhuge Liang said.

Finally, there can be a place to stay and rest.

Zhuge Liang was really helpless and couldn't figure out what was going on.

——

Shinno.

When Liu Bei came here, he immediately used a similar method as Cao Cao to reclaim the wasteland to settle the fields, and in the autumn and winter, he used the abandoned fields, and sowed and cultivated them as soon as possible in the spring of the next year.

As long as there is food, we can develop the population, and then recruit troops and horses, strengthen ourselves, and compete for world dominance.

At the same time of development, Liu Bei did not forget to continue to create his own name of benevolence and righteousness.

He spread how Cao Cao framed himself, how to modify the family tree, etc., in Xinye, as well as spread the cruelty and unreasonableness of Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou, and while elevating himself, he spared no effort to smear Cao Cao.

Now this initiative is going very well.

Many of the people in Xinye have indeed received Liu Bei's favors, and they are all singing praises of Liu Bei's merits, and there is a feeling that the people want it.

"Gongtai, how is its reputation now?"

Liu Bei said complacently: "This is the people's heart!" ”

In fact, what he didn't know was that there were some popular opinions, or Cao Cao arranged for someone to help him bring it up, and the purpose of doing so was naturally to help Liu Bei become famous, publicize Liu Bei's power, and provoke the contradiction between the two Liu.

The higher Liu Bei's prestige, the correspondingly, the more worried Liu Bei became.

These contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, and sooner or later they will erupt, even if Liu Biao doesn't want to do something, Liu Biao's subordinates will not be idle.

Chen Gong couldn't see through this, and thought that the current people's hearts were really their hard work, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, the new wild people are wanting, when we have food next year, we will recruit troops and buy horses, and the people who respond will definitely be endless!" ”

"Good!"

"Haha......"

Liu Bei smiled contentedly, this is exactly what he wants.

"When we have more soldiers, more food, and stronger strength, Cao Cao in the north will regret it."

Liu Bei said confidently.

Chen Gong reminded: "However, the gap between us and Cao Cao is still very big!" Before getting Jingzhou, we can't take the initiative to provoke Cao Cao, but in the four northern states, Cao Cao still needs to fight for a while, as long as we seize this time, it will be enough to develop! ”

"It's me who is in a hurry."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, so what should we do next?" ”

Chen Gong said: "The people of Jingzhou are aspiring, this is a good thing!" But the people's hearts are things that cannot be seen and touched, and I suggest that the lord continue to consolidate the people's hearts and then try to plan the next step. But the other prerequisite is to have enough food. ”

"Food, it's really important!"

Liu Bei sighed: "At least we have to wait until next year's autumn harvest to see how much grain can bear fruit, and before that, we still have to rely on the food supply from Xiangyang." ”

Chen Gong nodded and said: "The supply of Xiangyang can only last for a period of time, and when the people around Liu Biao wake up to something, they may cut off the food supply to us, so ...... You still have to rely on your own skills! ”

They don't have much background.

Starting over in Xinye, it is basically a state of poverty and whiteness.

However, Liu Bei has a fighting spirit and a high fighting spirit.

He thinks that as long as they are willing to work hard and want to develop, it is not very difficult, and they can definitely do it!

——

Xu Du, Chen family.

After the New Year, the feeling of festivity gradually calms down.

However, the Chen family soon became busy again, and the reason was that Cao Shan was sick.

This is a very important thing.

Chen Zhou knew that the medical level during the Three Kingdoms period was not very good, not to mention any serious diseases, even a cold could kill people, fortunately, Cao Shan was not a cold, but a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.

So he immediately sent for the best physician in the city.

"Congratulations, sir."

After the doctor's diagnosis, he smiled and said, "It's not a disease, it's a bad thing, it's a good thing, haha......"

"What is Joy?"

Chen Zhou was a little stunned when he heard this professional term.

Cao Shan is already nauseous and vomiting, or is it a good thing?

This doctor, what the hell are you capable of?

Seeing that Chen Zhou didn't understand this, Liu Ling couldn't help but smile and explained: "Husband, the meaning of joy is to be pregnant with a child, and Sister Shan'er is not sick, but has a child." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Zhou was stunned for a while, then reacted and asked, "Doctor, is it really pregnant with a child?" ”

"Madame's pulse is a slippery vein."

"Generally, there is a slippery pulse, and I have an eighty percent chance that my wife is pregnant with a child."

"But in the end, we still have to observe for a while, and we can only be sure when there are signs of a bulge in the belly."

"During this time, you have to pay attention."

The doctor explained.

In this era, there were no instruments of all kinds.

The doctor diagnoses and treats the disease, relying on his rich experience, so he doesn't dare to directly affirm anything to Chen Zhou.

After sending off the doctor, Chen Zhou immediately went back, hugged Shan'er, and said happily: "I'm going to be a father, Shan'er is pregnant with a child......

The other ladies around him were also so happy, but at the same time, they looked at Chen Zhou with resentment, they also wanted children.
