That sentence went up and down, choking her from her throat to her chest, and when she finally spit it out, it completely changed direction.

"That wizard, is he very powerful?"

"I've heard it's amazing."

"Those who die in a foreign land," she said, with a distinct tremor in her voice, "can he be brought back?" ”

Liu Bei looked at her, and his expression became extremely gentle.

"That's a famous witch in Chudi, I must be able to."

"Me, I—" Her voice trembled more and more, "my more than 5,000 soldiers, they, they, they didn't die in the same place......

"That's fine."

"Yes, some are in ...... In Liyang, when Han was beaten, some were in Huaishui, and some were ......" she cried breathlessly, "Can they all come back?!" ”

In this small shadow in front of the gate, Liu Bei looked at this world-famous young general gently and gently, and saw that she was trembling all over her body from crying.

He has been away from Youzhou for more than ten years, and since he fought with the Yellow Turban, he has begun to say goodbye to his comrades again and again.

- It was an irretrievable farewell.

Everyone in the world knows that he is close to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and they are like brothers.

But does anyone know how many people he left Youzhou with his good brothers from his hometown?

"They'll be back."

The lord said in such a firm, unquestionable tone, "When Chu Wu comes to do it, you just need to put up a big edict——"

“…… Big, big? ”

"Yes."

When they see the oxtail on the big silk and the word "Lu" on the flag, they will recognize it.

Those soldiers who died in battle will surely follow their generals, climb thousands of mountains and rivers, and return to you.

Chapter 294

Yecheng is far northerly, so the climate is a little colder than Xiapi, and the pedestrians on the street always try their best to wrap themselves in two layers of cloth and hurry through the ice and snow.

But in Yuan's deep mansion, where fine furs and hot-burning charcoal pots can be seen everywhere, the arrival of winter is not a surprise.

Especially for children, there are many more games to play.

They can glide around in the frozen courtyard, have snowball fights with each other after the snow falls, or climb up a tree, quietly ambush them, and shake the branches vigorously to sprinkle the snow on their heads and faces when they see who walks under the trees.

But now they have a new game.

Standing on a large rock by the pond, the boy with his hair puffed out, brandished a wooden sword, and shouted, "This is Chaohu!" ”

"Where is Chaohu Lake!"

"Chaohu Lake is—" The boy thought for a moment, his voice still very loud, "It's a big lake!" ”

"Oh!" Several other children of similar age let out a perfunctory response in unison, "And then?" ”

"Me! Lu Lian, Lu Ciyu! He said, "That's where I defeated Jiangdong Sun Bofu!" ”

A little girl wearing a water red Luo skirt immediately protested, "How can you be Lu Lian!" ”

"How am I not!"

"You pretend to be Huangfu Song, just play Liu Yu! How can you still pretend to be Lu Lian! The little girl shouted angrily, "Lu Lian is a woman!" You're a woman! ”

"She's a general! I'm also a general! The boy crossed his waist and said, "Why can't I pretend!" ”

"You come down! If you want to pretend, I should pretend! ”

"Oh! Oh! The other bear children immediately began to coax, "The general is not convinced!" Disobedient! ”

"You—" the boy stomped his foot in anger, "you have a hairpin on your head!" How do you lead troops to war! ”

"When Lu Lian was fighting, he must have a hairpin on his head!"

"Nope! Definitely not! Who fights without a helmet! What a hairpin! ”

The quarrel ended with the angry little girl resorting to force, and the winner of the hand that pushed the boy off the stone with one palm.

The little boy sat on the ground crying and his sister bullied him, and the maidservants hurried over to coax and persuade him, while a messenger from a long way was walking under the porch.

He did not squint, and hurried away, neither the weeping child nor the beautiful maidservant fell into his eyes.

At the same time that the envoy quietly rushed to Yecheng, in the main hall of this mansion, Yuan Shao was at the top, looked around from left to right, and felt that there were too many people in his eyes.

…… In fact, compared to the court meeting in Luoyang, there are not many people.

…… But at that time, he was only one of the ministers standing at the bottom of the stairs, and he did not feel the trouble of the Son of Heaven.

…… Now that he was the lord, this group of advisers, civil officials, and representatives of the family all gathered in front of him, satisfying his vanity and at the same time making him feel a little uneasy.

But maybe everyone won't be noisy today.

Yuan Shao thought so comfortingly.

The middle-aged man, who was very dignified and graceful, cleared his throat, "You have already heard a little about the military affairs in Xuzhou. ”

The counsellors were silent.

He continued, "Now that Liu Xuande has been freed from the predicament, Lu Lian can wave his troops north to rescue the drama city. ”

"Lu Lian is brave," Feng Ji said obediently, "The lord is very worried." ”

"Therefore, I have the intention to wave my troops south to help Xiansi capture Qingzhou," Yuan Shao said, "What do you think?" ”

"My lord!" Xu You immediately responded, "Now that Xuzhou is extremely tired, if the lord goes south, he will not only take Qingzhou, but also exterminate Liu Bei in one fell swoop!" Don't let him have a chance to slow down the army, otherwise he will stay for a few years, Liu Bei will lead Xu, Yang, Qing, and Yu, and if the lord wants to make a decision with him, it will be even more difficult! ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up!

"Ziyuan wants to make the lord go violent, is it hopeless!"

Yuan Shao's eyes darkened.

But when the judge found an opportunity to open his mouth, he didn't stop talking easily, he didn't care about the looks of the lord and Xu Yu at all, but began to talk endlessly.

"Liu Bei attacked Huainan on the orders of the court, and Cao Cao attacked at this time, which has made people feel back, so Dong Chengzhang Xiu sent troops to attack, and no one in the world said anything about it! How can the lord not know the lessons of the previous car! ”

Yuan Shao stretched out a hand, put it on the desk, and began to knock gently.

"Besides, the south of Yuzhou was originally in the hands of Liu Biao, and now that Dong Cheng and Zhang Xiu have sent troops to Yanzhou, Liu Biao will want to go south to Lujiang! If the Xiliang people can't attack Juancheng for a while, most of them will have the heart to attack Runan! Lord! The eldest prince competed for Qingzhou, not with Liu Bei, but with Kong Rong, Cao Cao lost popularity, but the lord did not lose, why should he tarnish his reputation with Cao Cao! ”

"That's a mistake! The Xiliang army is brutal, is it just the order of the court! ”

"Isn't it! What's the insight! ”

Yuan Shao's fingers tapped faster and faster, and when they tapped louder and louder, these strategists finally stopped arguing for the time being.

So the lord raised his eyes again, and began to sweep around the counselors, but deliberately skipped over this particularly noisy one.

"What's wrong with Apo?"

Several of the strategists glanced at each other.

"I have returned to Juancheng, and I am holding on to Dong Cheng," Xin Ping, who was stared at by the lord, hurriedly said, "If Duke Cao is in trouble, he will report it by letter, and the lord doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Speaking of Cao Cao, who was in trouble, the strategists briefly returned to the united front.

No matter which faction of strategists, they are not straw bales, so they always have a clear understanding: Cao Cao is both ambitious and decisive, and such a person can never be the brother of the lord forever - unless he has to rely on the lord and live by the lord's face.

So what's wrong with making Cao Cao embarrassed and downcast?

Yuan Shao's broad palm suddenly tightened and clenched into a tight fist.

"Didn't he write to me?"

"No, I didn't."

The lord seemed to mumble something in his mouth.

"Qingzhou's matter, let me think about it again," he looked at Xin Ping, "Zhengnan wrote a letter for me and sent it to Zang Hong." ”

Xin Ping was stunned, "What is the matter with the lord looking for Zang Ziyuan?" ”

"He is stationed in Dongjun, closer to Juancheng," Yuan Shao's words were still a little deliberate, but his eyes did not hesitate at all, "If Juancheng is in danger, let him immediately send troops to rescue!" ”

"My lord! Dong Cheng and Zhang Xiu are destined to go! ”

"Well," Yuan Shao's expression took on a layer of indifferent contempt when he heard such a warning, "And Ah Pu, he is my younger brother." ”

There is snow on the branches.

The young maidservant put her white slender fingers on the branches, and swept them gently, and the light snow, which was whiter than the maiden's soft wattles, fell down and fell into the jar that had been prepared.

These slender girls in blue skirts are more beautiful working in the courtyard than the courtyard on a sunny day after the snow, so it is difficult for anyone not to be distracted by them.

Especially the eyes of these girls will drift over from time to time, and when they quietly glance at the two young men in the window, the lively and amorous gaze will be more vivid, and it will make people can't help but beat their hearts soon.

But Xun Chen picked up the black lacquer beast's foot cup, sniffed the tea fragrance carefully, tasted it leisurely, and then put the cup down again.

From beginning to end, his attention seemed to be on the tea.

He wore a bamboo-colored straight jacket and a dark blue coat on the outside, and when he sat there, he naturally had a pine-and-bamboo style, so it always felt that no matter what kind of person he was, there would always be some pressure to sit across from him.

But the person sitting opposite him now is in no way inferior to Xun Chen in terms of appearance.

Yuan Shang has reached the age of weak crown, but what remains on his body is more of a teenager's spirit than the maturity and stability of a young man. His forehead was smooth and full, his eyes were bright and bright, the bridge of his nose was straight, his lips were ruddy, he was stained with a hint of bookishness when he picked up his pen, and he carried his sword with the air of a light and swift general.

Such a beautiful young man who is as bright as the sun and the moon, it is no wonder that his father is very partial to him. Although Taishi Gong once said, "Judge people by words, lose them, judge people by appearance, and lose their sons", but from the court to the small door, who wouldn't look down on the beauty?

In Jizhou, the family that likes Yuan Shang will sigh, but it's a pity that he is young and not elder, and those who don't like Yuan Shang quietly said that Yuan Gong favored this little son for the handsomeness of the third son, and I am afraid it is the way to cause trouble.

Rumors spread secretly in Jizhou, Xun Chen didn't feel fresh at all, and even the purpose of Yuan Shang looking for him to drink tea today, Xun Chen guessed everything.

"Childe frowned," he smiled, "I'm afraid there is something on my mind." ”

"It's true that there is something on the mind......," Yuan Shang's delicate brows furrowed, "so I want to ask Mr. ”

"It's almost the end of the year, this is the season of family reunion," Xun Chen sighed, "Every time I come to this season, I will miss my brother in Yanzhou, I don't know when I can reunite with him, and respectfully serve a bowl of Baijiao wine?" ”

"Is the gentleman missing his brother too?"
