Good morning! Three Kingdoms Migrant Workers Section 330
But for Liu Da, it seems that none of this is too difficult.
As long as he can harvest a few buckets of wheat next spring, he said, a few buckets will do, and his family will not starve to death.
As long as his brothers come back, he said, his two younger brothers have been drafted to work as people's husbands, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return home.
If he can come home and plant some vegetables in the spring, he still has an idea, that is, to go to the two little piglets on credit, his brother is also a good pig raiser, alas, it is not easy to get piglets on credit in the spring!
As he stood on the hillside, chatting with her, the setting sun shone on the man's dark and rough face, with such simple enthusiasm and innocent hope.
"You think so much," she said with a smile, "what if you could only grant one wish?" β
He didn't react, "What? β
"You see, you hope that next year's winter wheat harvest will be good, and you also hope that your younger brothers will come back quickly, and you also want to be able to get a few piglets on credit," the female general said with a smile, "If you can only fulfill one wish, Liu Da, which one do you choose?" β
The farmer was stunned, his lips twitched twice, and without much thought, he uttered his answer.
"I hope there will be no more wars."
Halfway through the unitary hour, the city gates will be closed.
But there were people at the gate of the city who went back and forth in circles, and at first glance they were waiting for someone.
As she rode back, the man suddenly shouted loudly.
"Generalββ!
Lu Hangyu was stunned for a moment, "Ziyong? β
Chen Zhen rushed up and grabbed her reins, "Where is the general?" β
"Go out of town, out of town," she said uncomfortably, "what's wrong?" β
"Angels have descended! The general quickly entered the city to bathe and change clothes! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
She glared at this young civil official with a happy face, and felt that her worldview was about to be smashed.
"You say it again?"
"The envoys of the imperial court are here!" Chen Zhen said loudly, "Brought the reward of the Son of Heaven!" Checkmate! β
β¦β¦ Oh, the envoys of the Son of Heaven, the ancients loved to use it like this.
β¦β¦ But I'm still shocked!
She hurried back, even if she was showering, but she still had to change into a neat dress.
When she ran to the Thorn Mansion, the "angel" was waiting for her.
Everyone was waiting for her, and they were all beaming with joy.
This "angel" is very young, probably in his twenties, and he is very handsome, especially with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and he seems to be smiling when he looks at people, which seems to be both joking and sarcastic.
β¦β¦ It's the kind of eye that would want to punch him just by seeing those eyes if she were to be suspicious.
But this "angel" did not smile at all when he gave the edict, and he read the edict very seriously.
"Edict Xuzhou don't drive Lu Lian: cut the rebellion and fight the thief, and win a thousand miles. Loyalty to the guard, courtesy to the bottom. The husband's name is the best in the world, and he should be rewarded by the world, and now he sent Lang Yang Xiu to give the seal ribbon, and was named the Marquis of Ji Ting, the general of the cavalry, and the three hundred households of the food town. Respectfully! β
After reading the edict, Yang Xiu stepped forward and handed her the edict and the seal.
"In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Ji Tinghou was the first woman to be crowned a marquis with military merits," he said with emotion, "The government and the opposition have been discussing a lot, and today I saw it in person, and I knew that it was really such a young girl!" β
Chapter 307
When the news of Dong Cheng's defeat and his cold and bloody head were sent to Luoyang, it is said that Dong Guiren fainted at once.
She was only fifteen years old, the same age as flowers, and her delicate and beautiful face once carried the arrogance of a little girl, but now it was full of tears.
In the palace where she lived, the bright and almost brilliant Shu brocade was carefully removed by the palace maid and replaced with a plain muslin cloth.
The Son of Heaven is still very young, and there are only the queen and a few concubines in the palace, but when she heard that Dong Guiren had lost power, there were still many frivolous and beautiful palace maids who ran outside the palace where she lived, and looked in cautiously, wanting to see what would happen to the abominable woman who was flying and domineering, until the queen came in person and comforted Dong Guiren gently, which stopped the hustle and bustle in the palace.
Empress Fu Shi was not glad about this, although she hated Dong Cheng's arrogance, it was also a fact that Dong Cheng's Xiliang army could defend the imperial court with Lu Bu's Bingzhou army on the left and on the right.
Now Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses have been lost, only Lu Bu's thousands of soldiers and horses remain, and the Son of Heaven is unable to recruit a new northern army, and the news of Liu Bei's successive victories in Xuzhou came, and the discussion of the ministers gradually took on a vague color.
They were a family of ministers, but there is no doubt that many of them were loyal ministers who were determined to protect the Han family.
β¦β¦ But in the Han family that they are loyal to, does it include this son of heaven?
At the beginning, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the dynasty was in decline, and when people thought about the Han Dynasty, didn't there also be a child of the clan who turned the tide and rebuilt the Han family?
As long as the Han family is immortal for four hundred years, which child surnamed Liu is sitting on the jade throne, what does it matter? The first emperor set up King Hongnong has died, Yuan Shao supported Liu Yu, Dong Zhuo supported Liu Xie, maybe there will be a Zhongshan King Jing in the future, raise troops into the army, and then it will be just like Guangwu, and then toss a "small sect into a large sect" of the legal system.
When the imperial court discussed Liu Bei's merits, although Liu Bei was far away, the ministers were like him in person, and they asked for many benefits for him in a roundabout way! Liu Bei was the marquis of the first Jin Dynasty, and Guan Yu was named the marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, not to mention, even that Lu Lian was named a marquis as a woman!
Fu Hou is not such a foolish woman, she has never seen Lu Lian, let alone has any opinions. But she is an extremely perceptive person, and when she heard that the ministers were so open-minded and flexible in Lu Lian's reward......
Thinking of this, Queen Fu's heart secretly had a lot of fear!
The jade seat in the wind and snow is now in danger!
When Liu Bei really unifies the Central Plains, even if he persecutes the Son of Heaven to Zen, I'm afraid there will be no one who can protect the Son of Heaven!
Those ministers! They can confidently say that the world is peaceful, the Han Dynasty has not been lost, and only the Son of Heaven has changed! Even if they go to Huangquan, they have the face to meet the twenty-third generation of emperors!
β¦β¦ It can't be like this, Fu Hou secretly thought to herself, she has to think of something.
Mrs. Yan couldn't take into account the worries of the queen, she was very happy now, holding her daughter's hand and talking briskly about her expectations.
"The queen is the daughter of the eldest princess of Yang'an, her position is as stable as a rock, you naturally can't compare, but your father holds the power of the army, not to mention the court, the Son of Heaven must also rely on your father's might! With the wisdom and virtue of the queen, it will not be difficult for you, besides her, is there anyone in the palace who can compare to you? β
"That Dong nobleman ......"
"Dong Cheng is dead!" Mrs. Yan said loudly, "The Son of Heaven and the Empress are merciful, just leave her alive, she has no mother from now on, what is the difference between her and the palace maid in Yongxiang!" Not even a dog! When you enter the palace, you can treat her as you want! β
Lu Jiao seemed to want to say something, but finally swallowed it back.
The girl was no more than fourteen years old, and although her appearance resembled her mother, she was a little immature, and her long black hair was soft and smooth, and she was very endearing.
But unlike Mrs. Yan's eyes that seemed to be disgusted and happy, Lu Jiao's eyes always had a trace of worry hidden in them.
"Mother, why should I treat her poorly?" She whispered, "She and I are both the daughters of military generals, is there any difference?" β
"What are these words?" Mrs. Yan slapped her hand angrily, "Your father is a famous general of the three armies!" The world knows it! What is Dong Cheng! How can he be compared to your father? β
Her father was indeed a military general known for his bravery, Lu Ji thought, but he was still only a general, not a prince.
He has no territory of his own, no city of his own, no money or food, and no enterprising spirit. What is the difference between such a military general and Dong Cheng?
They are like the fruits that remain on the branches under the first snow of early winter, and they look tenacious and full of vitality, but as long as they reach out and pull the branches and shake them gently, they will fall into the icy snow.
This fruit, which remained tenaciously on the branch, did not feel that anyone could shake him off by reaching out to the branch.
He sat down on his own.
But Gao Shun and Chen Gong in front of them looked unstable at all.
"General," Chen Gong opened his mouth first, "Cao Cao first met Liu Bei Lu Lian, and then met Dong Cheng, he won this battle, and it was also the end of the strong crossbow, why didn't the general send troops at this time and take Xingyang?" β
ββ¦β¦ Xingyang wants land, can I take it? β
"Xingyang is now under the control of Dong Cheng's remnants, and the general can take it calmly!"
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, he just straightened up, as if he thought of something, and bent back again.
"If there is not enough food and grass, what can I do?"
The goods he brought with him were naturally exhausted, but fortunately, his soldiers also occupied some wasteland around Luoyang, which could be reclaimed and a little food to barely maintain the balance of payments.
But sending troops requires a lot of food.
If it is an intact Yanzhou that has not been invaded by war, Lu Bu can lead his troops to take a rough walk, walk all the way, eat all the way, this is not a big problem.
But a Yanzhou that had been plundered by the Xiliang soldiers, everyone present knew what it would look like.
Although Lu Bu is not an amorous person and will not be moved by the sight of white bones, but when people die, houses are burned down, and food is robbed, he can't do it if he wants to grab food again.
Gao Shun frowned, "There are all the treasures in the general's treasury, why don't you exchange grain and grass with Uncle Zhang Zhi?" β
Those things can't be eaten, but they're expensive enough. Some of them were brought from Liu Bei, some were brought from the ministers and the imperial court, and some were looted while wandering around.
Those pearls and jade, coral gems, and gold and silver brocade, if you pour all you have, it is not difficult to change a batch of military rations.
But......
When Lu Bu frowned in embarrassment, Gao Shun urged again.
"General! If the general can't divide the land of a city, but traps Luoyang, how different is it from duckweed! Goods are not fundamental, and generals must not be trapped by them! β
Lu Bu's eyebrows finally relaxed.
"I'm going to go to the treasury," when he stood up, he looked like the famous general who looked down on the world was back again, "Send someone to invite Uncle Zhi, I have something important to discuss!" β
Gao Shun's plain and resolute face instantly brightened, "Yes!" β
"General, Auntie is going to enter the palace."
ββ¦β¦ I know. β
"She was born the daughter of a general and has been displaced since she was a child, but she is a filial child and has never complained about her father."
ββ¦β¦ It's me who is sorry for her. β
"She has such a soft heart, everything is based on the will of her parents, and she has never been disobedient."
ββ¦β¦ Of course I know. β
"Now that she is about to enter the palace, everyone in the whole city is waiting to see what kind of momentum the daughter of Wenhou will enter the palace."
"It's not that I don't love her, it's just that the military situation is urgent, and I have to sell these family possessions and buy food and grass...... If you wait for Cao Cao to recapture Xingyang, and then want to take it, it will be too late to regret it! β
Madame Yan turned her face to the dark wall, and there was not a single tear on her face, only grief.
"Is the general going to abandon our mother and daughter again?"
Lu Bu was shocked, "I never said such a thing!" When I lay down Xingyang, I will take you over! β
"What about Grandma?"
