"Will Liu Bei be kind to the Son of Heaven?"

"The Son of Heaven is the suzerain of the Liu family, if Liu Xuande wants to inherit the unification, how can he betray the law of etiquette in the clan and never believe in righteousness in the world?"

Lu Bu hesitated for a long time, and finally let out a long breath.

"The Son of Heaven treats me well......"

Chen Gong's heart softened.

"So, you have to give me a piece of land," Lu Bu said seriously, "and money and food, and it can't be less." ”

Lu Bu said this, in fact, it can't be regarded as cold-blooded.

Because even in such a depressed city, the heroes in the city still do their best to be poor and luxurious during the Chinese New Year.

The weather is too cold for new wine to be brewed, so use a greenhouse;

If the charcoal fire is not enough, then the prisoners are requisitioned to cut down trees and burn charcoal;

Shuzhong and Luoyang were cut off from the road, so the only one who could let the merchants risk all kinds of difficulties and dangers to send them into Luoyang was Shujin.

Yang Xiu was sitting in the cart, reading a book while baking a fire, when the wheels suddenly ran over something, so the whole car shook with it.

The noble boy raised his head, and before he could ask, the healthy servant outside the car had already answered very smartly.

"Lang Jun was frightened, the villain thought that the person was stiff, but he didn't want to take a breath and disturbed Lang Jun."

Yang Xiu held the bamboo book and was speechless for a long time.

Zhang Yang endured the resentment of the soldiers, and used the power of a county to support Luoyang.

Zang Hong would rather break with the lord than send grain to Luoyang.

How much food did the Son of Heaven eat alone?

Counting the four hundred palace maids in the palace, more than a thousand yellow doors and guards, how much food can they eat?

Where did all the 50,000 stone grain go?

Zhang Yang was dead, Zang Hong was now under siege, and Cao Cao, although adjacent to Luoyang, slyly claimed that he had suffered a rebellion last year, so there was no surplus to supply the capital.

How will you spend this year?

The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, like knives, cutting on the face, body, and hands, and like gravel, they hit the face, confusing their eyes, and making people unable to see the road ahead.

On such a dazy snowstorm day, the road is also going to be isolated, not to mention eating and drinking, it is not easy to even buy some needles and threads, whose daughter-in-law only remembered to cut a new set of clothes for the New Year at this time, so she can only borrow a little needle and thread from the neighbors in the same square.

However, many women in the ancient pine square can always prepare properly in advance in the face of this bad weather, whether it is oil, salt, grain and rice, cloth or dry firewood, so that the family will not be cold and starving.

In order to be able to take care of Siniang, who was already pregnant, Tongxin and Li's second daughter-in-law also strongly asked the young couple to move over temporarily and celebrate the New Year with them.

In addition to Wuxin plates, pepper and cypress wine, and salted meat and salted fish, Shiro of the Yanagi family also discovered for the first time that you can eat something called "dumplings" during the Chinese New Year.

A group of women chatted while working and chatting, and the new aunt was in charge of accompanying Xiaolang and A Caoxue to learn a new book produced by Kong Rong.

The charcoal in the house was very hot, and Siniang walked around, and there was no work for her to do, so she could only ask questions in her spare time.

"Where's General Lu?" She asked, "When will she be back?" ”

"I heard that there is still a war in Xuzhou," Tongxin pinched a meatball dumpling and put it down, "After the battle, you can come back." ”

"The archers throw at a distance of three hundred paces," Lu Xuanyu said, dressed in a tattered robe, standing in front of the map and diligently explaining, "but when the two armies take over, the archers have to change their weapons and assume the duty of close combat. ”

The two Zhang Gong sat on the small horse and listened carefully.

"But the battle we are going to fight is different, the defenders in the city can always throw a rain of arrows to support us," she gestured, "When we fight against the city, when Yuan Shao's front army engages with our army, the defenders can throw a rain of arrows to isolate the reinforcements behind Yuan Shao, so that we have a chance to eat this isolated front army." ”

…… It's very basic knowledge of attacking and defending cities, but it also needs to be taught.

…… The two high-ranking officials, who had a total of four thousand stones, nodded like chickens pecking rice.

…… Everyone is too guarded, these two are really different from her brother who guards Guangling.

When the two Zhang Gong were writing notes on the bamboo board, she could drink some water and diverge her thoughts by the way.

The water was a little cold, and it was nothing for her to drink cold water, but it was a little cold to her teeth, which made her frown slightly.

Da Zhang Gong immediately noticed it.

"Where are the servants?" He immediately shouted, "I'm so arrogant that I don't even know how to send a pot of hot water!" ”

"No, no," she waved her hand, "and I'm going to let them go home to celebrate the New Year with their families." ”

Da Zhang Gong and Xiao Zhang Gong glanced at each other, and their faces were a little ashamed.

"The general is benevolent and righteous, he only hates us for being foolish, and the general is hindered by the wind and snow, and he can't go back to Qingzhou to keep the New Year's ......"

"It's all right," she said, "I didn't plan to go back for the New Year." ”

Zhang Miao was a little confused, "Why?" Is the general homesick? ”

"Yes, but I have to finish the fight," Lu Hangyu muttered, "and when I'm done, I'll be able to go home." ”

Chapter 346

The spring of the fourth year of Jian'an.

No matter what timeline it is, it's been a busy year for historians.

First of all, Gongsun Zhan was defeated, this former prince lost in the battle for Youzhou with Yuan Shao, retreated again and again, retreated in a corner, and finally killed all his wives and concubines in this spring, and then set fire to the mound fortress as high as five or six zhang to burn it and bury it in the fire.

Then Cao Cao sent the generals Shi Jian and Xiahou Dun to march into Hanoi, of course, with the reason of helping the Son of Heaven eradicate the thieves around him.

He sent not many troops, less than 10,000, because there was one more thing that made him suspenseful:

This spring is still extremely cold, and the ice and snow have not disappeared in many places, but Liu Bei's army has left Runan and headed towards Wancheng.

Of course, in addition to Cao Cao, Liu Biao was also very suspenseful about this matter.

This guest room is hung on all sides of the Shu brocade wall coat, separating the charcoal smoke and dust, and slowly transmitting the heat through the wall coat to the house.

So it was grown in the greenhouse, and a cluster of orchids placed in the corner slowly opened.

The orchids are so quiet and uncommon that they almost forget what a harsh spring it is.

But the old man, who had a clear appearance and elegant bearing, leaned on the table, and still kept reaching for the charcoal basin.

Liu Biao didn't wear much clothes, and he didn't really feel the cold.

He's just very upset, but he doesn't want to be seen—but on the other hand, he does find it cold.

"I once heard Tian Sheweng say that when the northerners go south, they naturally carry a cold wind," Liu Biao said whimfully, "Today I know that the village is true. ”

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue glanced at each other.

The so-called "northerners" are naturally Liu Bei on the east bank of the Shuishui River.

In the past few years, after Liu Bei took over Tao Qian's Xuzhou, he went north to Qingzhou and south to Lujiang, and took a large piece of territory.

For Liu Biao, the Han family Sanxing, this is very good.

But Xing is on Liu Bei, which is very bad.

Liu Bei, the head of Liu Bei, was a well-known "Eight Jun" when he was young, and after riding into Jingzhou alone, he bravely and strategically eradicated the thieves and appeased the party. In recent years, the soldiers in Xiangyang, observing the changes of the times, are waiting for the opportunity to enter the world, and they have given birth to Liu Bei, a child who weaves mats and sells shoes!

Among the seven counties of Jingzhou, Nanyang is a large county with an extremely important geographical location, first attacked for Cao Cao, and then Liu Bei came to covet it, and the two males disputed, as if no one put him in the eyes of Jingzhou pastor!

Kuai Yue asked tentatively:

"The lord wants to unite with Cao Gong and attack Liu Beiye?"

Liu Biao stared at the wrong Jinbo Mountain furnace next to the case, and suddenly sighed.

"Xeno, Deju, what do you think?"

…… What do they think?

Kuai Yue is a very shrewd person with sophisticated feelings, Cai Mao is from the Xiangyang family, the son of Cai Wei, and has an old relationship with Cao Cao.

But none of them could say anything about asking Liu Biao to send troops to join Cao Cao and jointly crusade against Liu Bei.

Liu Biao is not good at fighting, and Cao Cao's leadership is far better than him, but he was broken by Liu Bei. Liu Bei is not only a fierce general like Zhang Luzhao, but he himself is a commander who is very good at charging into battle, how can Jingzhou compete with him?

And the most important thing is - what benefits can Liu Biao get?

Cao Cao categorically refused to give Nanyang back to him.

But Liu Biao was very entangled in his heart, and it was Liu Bei who was very entangled in Sanxing Yanhan, not him.

…… So it's not a problem that's entirely caused by profit, and naturally you can't choose those high-cost schemes.

"Duke Cao has a letter advising the lord not to send troops, as long as he is stationed south of the people, he can stop Liu Xuande," Cai Mao said, "What does the lord think?" ”

"Is it my clan brother," Liu Biao shook his head, "I joined forces with outsiders and came to stop him, wouldn't I be ridiculed by the world?" ”

When he said this, his eyes fell gently, and he looked very sad and sorrowful.

Liu Biao is good at using power techniques, but in front of these heroes who are attacking cities and conquering cities, what power skills can be useful?

"Why don't you write a letter to Jiangdong Sun Ce and persuade him to attack Liu Bei?"

As soon as Cai Mao said this, she immediately became secretly annoyed.

Sure enough, Liu Biao glanced at him lightly.

"Does Dejun want me to kill his father and use his son?"

…… Sun Jian died at the hands of Liu Biao, so the two families had a grudge against their father, and it was not easy to form an alliance.

But in a place like Jingzhou, there are only a few neighbors on all sides, if you want to reject Liu Bei in the north, what else can you come up with?

"How is Zhang Xiu?" Liu Biao asked suddenly.

"Him?" Cai Mao immediately replied cautiously, "He attacked Wancheng several times before, and lost a lot of soldiers, so according to Yang'an, he recruited soldiers, and he had to practice for a while......"

Liu Biao's brows furrowed tightly, and he suddenly scolded:

"Useless!"

Cai Mao had a bead of sweat on his forehead, but he was an extremely alert person, and he never wiped his sweat with his sleeve, so as not to arouse Liu Biao's vigilance.

Although he supervised Zhang Xiu's army for several months and urged him to attack Wancheng, Zhang Xiu did not go at all.
