Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 36 The Smart Zhen Mi

"Second son."

In the backyard of the Yuan Mansion, Lu Qiling saw Yuan Xi coming, she hurriedly put down Fang Tian's painted halberd in her hand, and went up to get the bamboo basket.

Yuan Xi wanted not to give it, but Lu Qiling grabbed it with one hand.

"Put it there."

Yuan Xi casually pointed to an open space.

Lu Qiling walked quickly carrying a bamboo basket weighing dozens of kilograms.

Yuan Xi clicked his tongue secretly, and seeing Fang Tian painting a halberd next to him, he walked over and raised it with one hand.

Fang Tian's painted halberd didn't even move, he increased his strength, and Fang Tian's painted halberd started to move.

Yuan Xi reached for it with both hands again, and then picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd.

He secretly estimated that this Fangtian painted halberd weighed about forty to fifty catties.

"Second son."

Lu Qiling ran back again, smiling at him with big eyes.

Yuan Xi put down the painted halberd in the lower sky as if nothing had happened, and asked her, "How heavy is this weapon?"

"One hundred catties."

Yuan Xi just wanted to say it was impossible, but then he thought about it, the weight in ancient times was different from his own time.

Fang Tian's painted halberd might be worth a hundred catties now.

"Go get some firewood."

Yuan Xi walked to the bamboo basket, sat down on the messy withered grass, and gave instructions to Lu Qiling.

Without saying a word, Lu Qiling turned and ran away.

The withered grass in the backyard in winter covered the entire corner of the courtyard.

Yuan Xi removed the surrounding weeds, picked out two sweet potatoes with slightly poor quality, and prepared to roast them.

The remaining sweet potatoes are kept as seeds.

Taking out the Seven Star Sword, Yuan Xi began to dig a hole in the soft soil.

Before the hole was dug, Lu Qiling came with a large bundle of firewood.

The firewood is very large, but Lu Qiling is very small.

Yuan Xi heard footsteps, raised his head to look, his expression was astonished.

Lu Qiling has slender arms and legs, where does this brute strength come from?

Putting down the firewood, Lu Qiling went to Yuan Xi and knelt down, snatched the Seven Star Sword from him, and lowered her head to dig the ground hard.

"Well, there's no need to dig that deep."

Seeing her digging deeper and deeper, Yuan Xi hurriedly stopped.

Lu Qiling glanced blankly at Yuan Xi, blinked, carefully put down the Seven Star Sword, took some soil with her hands, and put it in the pit.

Yuan Xi looked amused.

"Is it on fire?"

A blush spread across Lu Qiling's face, she lowered her head and said, "I'll go get it again."

Before Yuan Xi could speak, he turned around and ran away.

Lu Qiling ran to the kitchen, and quickly rushed to the backyard with a clay pot on a wooden tray.

"Qi Ling."

A clear and pleasant voice sounded, Lu Lingqi hurriedly bowed to the place where the voice came from and saluted.

"What are you doing with the cupping pot?"

Zhen Mi looked curiously at the girl in front of her.

"Mrs. Second Young Master wants it."

"Where is my husband?"

"In the backyard."

"Backyard? What do you need a cupping pot for?"

Lu Qiling shook her head.

Zhen Mi smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, I'll go and have a look too."

Lu Qiling turned around and ran. After running for two steps, she suddenly remembered something, stopped again, and then walked forward slowly.

"You go back first."

Zhen Mi waved back the maids beside her, signaling them not to follow.

As soon as she reached the backyard, Zhen Mi saw Yuan Xi sitting on the ground with a large bundle of firewood beside her.

"Madam is here." Yuan Xi greeted lazily.

Zhen Mi's gaze flicked over the earth pit in front of him and the sweet potatoes in the bamboo basket, curiosity flickered in her eyes.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"Make food."

Yuan Xi grabbed the hay and put it into the pit, and then put the glowing red wood in the clay pot into it.

Dry grass quickly burns.

Lu Qiling quickly broke off the dead branches and put them inside.

Seeing that the firewood was almost ready, Yuan Xi put two sweet potatoes in.

Then I broke off a bunch of dead branches and put them on the sweet potatoes to cover them.

The dead branches were blazing, and the flames kept jumping with crackling sounds.

The person who is baked is warm.

Zhen Mi walked up to the bamboo basket, rolled up her skirt with plain hands, squatted down behind her legs, and then picked up a sweet potato in the bamboo basket, with curiosity in her eyes.

"My lord, what is this?"

Yuan Xi glanced at her, and his eyes were attracted by the delicate and plump silhouette outlined by the silk skirt when she squatted down.

Zhen Mi didn't see an answer, she raised her head to look at Yuan Xi first, then followed his gaze to look at herself.

Immediately, two pear dimples appeared on the snowy and smooth cheeks, and she bit her red lips lightly, but she didn't get up, but held up the sweet potato and shook it in front of Yuan Xi.

"Oh, those are sweet potatoes."

Yuan Xi calmly withdrew his gaze, but quickly glanced at Lu Qiling beside him.

"Something from the Western Regions?"

"No."

Yuan Xi didn't explain the reason, but just said with a smile: "This food is very delicious. You can try it later."

Zhen Mi put down the sweet potatoes and sighed softly: "You can cook delicious food freely. Your husband is the second son of the Yuan family, so don't indulge in these things."

Yuan Xi frowned, and said displeasedly: "It's just something to eat, why do you need to be so exaggerated?"

Zhen Mi said softly: "No matter what, my husband should be careful. Eldest brother and third younger brother are still fighting for the position, and Youzhou has the weakest soldiers and horses, and they are unable to recruit good generals. If the eldest brother takes the position in the future, my husband will be in a bad situation. "

Yuan Xi threw the dead branches in his hand into the fire, and said with a smile: "Madam sees the long term."

Zhen Mi's fair cheeks were full of worry, "My husband should be happy when he defeated the Cao family, but he annoyed the eldest brother and the others even more. Third brother, he has to rely on himself for everything, and Youzhou has to develop and become stronger."

"Ah."

Yuan Xi responded lightly, and said casually: "You're right, no matter the elder brother or the third younger brother, they are actually not as powerful as yourself."

Zhen Mi's eyes lit up, and she said softly, "Your husband doesn't need to be very strong, but you have to have some means to save your life. Some generals you can rely on. Only in this way can you better protect yourself."

"Zhang Nan, isn't Jiao Touch all right?"

Zhen Mi said calmly: "These two are mediocre generals, it's hard to say whether they will rebel under pressure."

Yuan Xi was taken aback. If Zhen Mi didn't know Sweet Potato, he would have suspected that Zhen Mi was also a time traveler.

It's too clever.

"When Cao Cao was killed, some generals were recruited."

Yuan Xi didn't hide anything, and told about Xu Chu, Yu Jin and others.

Zhen Mi covered her lips in surprise and said, "Xu Chu, Yu Jin, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang? How could they surrender willingly?"

Yuan Xi asked back: "Why does Madam think they won't surrender willingly?"

Zhen Mi said: "The Cao family treats them well. Cao Cao was killed by you, so he shouldn't have served you so easily."

Yuan Xi sneered and said, "Everyone is afraid of death. Cao Cao is dead, so what is there to be persistent about?"

Zhen Mi remained silent, and chuckled for a while and said, "If it's really surrendered, my husband should make good use of it."

"Naturally. It's easy to get a thousand troops, but it's hard to find a general. They are all first-class generals. There are more than 5 troops in Youzhou, and they will lead them sooner or later."

Zhen Mi's cherry lips parted slightly, with a puzzled look on her face, she asked, "My husband is not afraid of their rebellion?"
