"I guard the key places for the imperial court, can the palace still treat her poorly? When I take Xingyang, I will definitely buy it for her—"

"In that case, let the general do what he wants."

Lu Bu's face just showed joy, but Mrs. Yan continued.

"When the daughter of the first family of Qianshou gets married, her parents also want to buy her a copper hairpin and a new dress; Grandma entered the palace, there was no marriage, no mother, she only married once in her life, but what a world of difference between her and Dong's daughter! Mrs. Yan's voice choked, "But the general doesn't have to worry, she is so sensible and filial, no matter how difficult it is after entering the palace, even if she dies alone, she will never resent her father." ”

Lu Bu's two eyes slowly became larger, the light in his eyes gradually faded, and his momentum also went down.

He was hunched over like that, drooping his head like a shrimp, sitting in front of the lamplight, staring at the pot of wine in front of him.

That's his daughter, even if he left his wife when he left Chang'an, he didn't want to leave his daughter!

"I'm not going," he muttered, "I'm not going, aren't I?" ”

At the coldest time of the year, iron armor is worn on the body, colder than ice.

But Gao Shun walked in the camp in this upright armor.

It takes a long time for the barracks to be reassembled and counted, and all of them need to be prepared in advance. Especially if this is a war in winter, you can't be sloppy.

It may be a tough battle, but he's determined to win, and he's been waiting for it for a long time!

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

When Gao Shun turned around, he saw a personal soldier from the Wenhou Mansion coming towards him.

"The general has an order!" The soldiers said loudly, "And today is freezing cold, for the sake of cherishing the soldiers, the army is postponed!" ”

The tall general was stunned, his lips moved, and it took him a moment to realize what the soldier had just said.

"The general can be in the house now?!"

"No," the soldier said respectfully, "the general has entered the palace, I heard that it is the will of the Son of Heaven to welcome the daughter of Wenhou into the ......palace."

There was a boiling in the barracks.

All the soldiers were very happy, not only did they not have to pull out, but they could at least have a good meal because of Wen Hou's marriage!

Gao Shun was the only one who stood in the snow and was quiet for a long time, with despair in his expression that no one could understand.

"Our army is tired, and we can't collect Xingyang in ten days, if Lu Bu comes to attack, what can I do?"

Cao Cao looked at the generals below - although they had lost a lot due to the attack on Xuzhou, they were still considerable in terms of quantity and quality.

One by one, they showed their loyalty, and even some of them were wounded, but they were still willing to fight for their lord.

The spoils of the Western Liang army made them briefly regain their spirits, and although most of Yanzhou had still been slaughtered by Dong Cheng, at least in this unconquered Juancheng, they regained a sense of security and full confidence.

Those bloody and eager eyes made Cao Cao very satisfied.

He was not in a hurry to fight Xingyang, but he needed to check the morale of his soldiers from time to time and whether they were still brave and warlike.

When he said that he wanted to think about it carefully, and watched these mermaids rush out, Cao Cao called out to Guo Jia.

"Is Bonghyo's injuries better?"

The maidservant on the side served two hot teas, and after Guo Jia took it, her expression looked a little moved.

"The affairs are so busy, the lord still remembers me."

"What's busy," Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand, "With Wen Ruo and Yuan Rang here, I don't have to worry, it's just that Wen Ruo has been talking little these days, obviously he still has a problem in his heart, which makes me very sad." ”

Guo Jia smiled lightly, "Since Wen Ruo has never neglected general affairs, the so-called mustard must be insignificant, and when the year is over, I will pour him a few glasses of wine." ”

This fluttering answer, which regarded such a rupture as "a trivial matter that can be smoothed out with a few glasses of wine," seemed to please Cao Cao and made him laugh.

"It's really filial piety and greed for wine! Don't tease Wen Ruo like this! ”

"The wine on the lord's mansion is naturally different." Bong Hyo responded with a smile.

Cao Cao leaned on the table, still joking in the mood, "How does it compare to Lu Ciyu's wine?" ”

…… This question seems to have asked Guo Jia.

After a while, he replied with a sad face, "How can you drink wine when you are a prisoner of the stairs?" ”

This topic seemed to be more relaxed than the previous one, so Cao Cao was still in the mood to ask a few words, "Didn't she treat you gently?" Such gossip made the young strategist, who always seemed to be calm, blush.

But then, while drinking tea, the lord casually asked another question.

"Feng Xiao has been concentrating on recuperating his wounds these days, but he has never had any more letters."

"The lord wants to cut off Lu Bu's heart to attack Xingyang?" Guo Jia laughed, "That's not necessary to write a letter." ”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why?" ”

Although in Cao Cao's opinion, if he was Lu Bu, he would attack the dangerous place of Xingyang at all costs, but he was indeed not Lu Bu.

"Lu Bu is indecisive, he listens to the slander of those around him, but rejects the advice of his loyal ministers," Guo Jia said, "and he will not come." ”

Chapter 308

How the situation in Luoyang changes, it cannot affect the land of Qingzhou for the time being.

Guo Tu didn't care whether Cao Cao won or lost, but he cared about the eldest prince and his own net worth and life.

The princes of the world have more or less heard about Yuan Shao's family affairs that love his youngest son more, and some people even think that it is possible that Yuan Shao will hand over the family business to Yuan Shang in the future.

Under such rumors, it seems that Yuan Tan's war in Qingzhou is insignificant, his father gave him some soldiers, he can fight some territory if he can, but if he can't fight it, Yuan Shao doesn't expect him to do anything more glorious lintel.

It's good that Yuan Tan wins, and it's not a big problem if he loses, Yuan Shao may praise him a few words, or he may scold him a few words, that's all.

But this does not mean that the killing of the eldest son is also a trivial matter for a father.

These families who followed Yuan Shao knew very well what kind of person their lord was, and he rarely made any decisions, but when he made up his mind to avenge his son, his anger would turn into extremely powerful and terrifying power.

And Guo Tu, who has been following Yuan Tan's side, must find ways to make up for this incident in order not to be angry.

He tentatively sent an envoy to the drama city to exchange for Yuan Tan, but he did not get a definite answer, and he even sent someone to meet Kong Rong in private, and conducted some secret negotiations.

But now, while he has some better ways to show affection, Lu Lian has seen him.

There used to be fields and fruit groves outside the city, and if the plums were ripe, pedestrians could pick one and taste it when they walked by, which was sweet and sour, juicy, and very thirst-quenching.

It was nothing for the passers-by to pick two, but if the urchin wanted to climb the tree and feast on it, the peasants would run over and shout and curse.

Go far, and there is a wild merlin! Go pick them up!

But the plums of the wild plum grove are small and sour, and the bears are not happy to go, and they like this one on the edge of the city......

Guo Tu's square shoes trampled on this cold-winded wasteland, and it was now nothing.

There were no fields, no Merlin, no angry peasants, no playful boys.

There were only uneven mounds of earth, one after another, shallow to cover the corpses, and occasionally the people did their work very sloppily, revealing such a piece of white bones, and at first sight, they knew that they had already been eaten by jackdaws.

Those carcasses that have escaped the coveted by jackdaws can wait until the spring breeze comes, slowly turn them into fertilizer, and when a well-fed bird passes by, they will scatter a handful of seeds and regenerate a grove of fruit in the flesh and blood.

At the end of the wasteland, there are banners on and below the city of Beihai Drama City.

Guo Tu raised his eyes and looked back at the young woman standing under the banner.

"The general hasn't seen him for a long time," he saluted, "and all is well." ”

Lu Lian nodded lightly, "Mr. Gongze." ”

She didn't greet him, but her expression was not cold, she just looked at him lightly.

So the strategist under Yuan Shao glanced back, and a convoy slowly arrived, and the carriage in front was loaded with a coffin.

"Mr. Zhengping's bones have been buried, but I think that since the conflict has been resolved, where Mr. Zhengping's bones are buried should be decided by the general," Guo Tu's expression was very dignified, "It has strong words, the style of a strong man, generosity and righteousness, which is admirable, and I can't make friends with him, so that I regret it for life." ”

There seemed to be a slight commotion in the crowd behind Lu Lian.

But the new Ji Tinghou didn't seem to react to his generous statement, and she just walked towards the coffin.

The coachman immediately jumped down and, together with several soldiers next to him, opened the lid of the coffin.

You Heng's outer clothes have been replaced with a new set, but the inside is still stained with bloodstained old clothes, which is also Guo Tu's caution, in case You Heng has a family here, you can recognize his body through this set of clothes, and it can also prove that he is not cheating.

…… But Lu Lian's way of identifying the body was a bit unexpected to him.

She reached for the blood-stained midcoat.

…… What is the reasoning of this.

…… Luckily, she just glanced at the lower part of her neck.

"Well, it's him," Lu Lian looked at it carefully, "What is this?" Has he been holding this all the time? ”

She straightened up, picked up a dirty, blood-stained cobblestone in her hand, and turned her head to ask him.

The wind swept through the banner and the hair on her cheeks, but it couldn't make her eyes blink.

Her eyes were as black as a cold pool, cold and unfathomable.

"The arrows of the thousand times have been exhausted."

Guo Tu said.

He was prepared for everything he would face when he came here, such as Lu Lian would humiliate him, reject him, and even execute Yuan Tan in front of him.

Guo Tu had already said that Kong Rong had been moved, if Lu Lian really made up his mind, someone must help him rescue Yuan Tan and avoid something more terrible.

Everyone knew that Yuan Tan couldn't die here, but Lu Lian didn't necessarily know.

- Because she is a person who has no "pros and cons" in her head, only "reason".

Such a person has never encountered walls everywhere in the world, but was appreciated and promoted by Liu Bei and became a general who led the troops to fight, and she has the ability to win consecutive battles, which is even more terrifying.

The fire cooks the oil, and the flowers are brocade. Such a reputation is enough to make the calmest person get carried away, and when she really encounters a mountain that can't be crossed, a person in Qingzhou will bury her with her!

Guo Tu is not a kind and gentle person, he doesn't care about Lu Lian's life or death, nor does he care about the life or death of the people of Qingzhou, but he cares about his own life and death, when he thinks of what Yuan Shao's anger means, the whole person almost trembles with fear!

But she just held the stone tightly and thoughtfully, neither angry nor cold.

"Hard work, sir." She looked away from him and whispered a few words to the people around her.

A soldier stepped forward and carried the coffin into the theater city.

Her gaze tossed from the coffin to Guo Tu again.
