Gongsun Zan had already come to his senses. Although his face was pale, haggard, and thinned, the contours of his brows and eyes appeared to be deeper and sharper, like a cicada-winged thin knife that could break when it was folded.

The screen in the house was moved to one side, the wooden table was pushed to the front of the couch, and Chen Kuang sat behind the table, from the current city defense of Qingzhou, to the amount of grain stored in each county, the population of the people, the size of the farm, and other miscellaneous matters.

Gongsun Zan leaned against the side of the couch, half closed his eyes, didn't say a word, and didn't know how much he listened to.

When Wang Wu came in, Chen Kuangzheng was talking about Donglai County's lack of resources and food. Before Kong Rong's son held a banquet, he had to invite those who went to the banquet to bring their own drinks before the banquet could be completed.

But he didn't mention that during the banquet, Kong Fengping was still missing, and it was Yun Jiang's acting brother who was in charge.

Gongsun Zan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, like sharp knives drawn out of their sheaths, his eyes were clear, without any sign of depression.

Wang Wu's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.However, I don't know if Cao Ying and his party were overly frightened. Now facing Gongsun Zan, although they were a little nervous compared to before, they didn't have the slightest fear.

Stepping steadily across the threshold, Wang Wu saluted the two of them standardly: "Father is awake."

Gongsun Zan looked at the slim woman in front of him, her straight figure set off by the sky blue curvy train was like a green bamboo plant, and the pair of long and narrow eyes most similar to him were clear and clear.He had just woken up from a serious injury, his left shoulder was half bare and wrapped in a thick bandage, but her eyes were neither avoiding nor avoiding, her expression was calm, neither happy nor frightened.

Gongsun Zan only felt that his daughter was a little different from the one he saw years ago, but when he thought about it carefully, on that night when Yuan Shao attacked the camp, Wang Wu dared to stand alone with him in front of the Chinese army tent to watch the battle situation. He still didn't forget to straighten his back, but it didn't seem to be any different.

It's ridiculous that he still didn't believe that this little daughter could gallop three hundred miles and asked Liu Bei to send troops to Panshui!

As for before... what this daughter looked like, Gongsun Zan couldn't remember.

Chen Kuang stood up, raised his hands in salute, and then stood with his hands down, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not looking at her again.It was like an ordinary military staff member who was respectful and alienated when he saw the daughter of the lord and general.

Wang Wu didn't look at him either, and after saluting, she kept meeting Gongsun Zan's probing gaze without avoiding it.

"Have you been to Xuzhou?" Gongsun Zan's voice was low, and it was hard to hear whether he was short of breath due to injury.When he asked this sentence, he was very casual, like a loving father asking his beloved little daughter if she had eaten her favorite snack today.But Wang Wu's peripheral vision caught him pinching the hand placed by his side.

Wang Wu lowered her eyes, said "yes", pursed her lips, and put on a docile smile: "Wu just went to see Uncle Liu Huang, who took care of him during the battle of Panshui, and I haven't thanked him yet. Father, don't worry, you have a son." The dragon accompanied him to protect, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are close to each other, so there is no serious problem."

"Uncle Liu?" Hearing this address, Gongsun Zan frowned, and his voice rang out uncontrollably. It suddenly seemed light and airy, with no focus, and the suddenly raised voice even sounded a bit harsh. .

"The small Pingyuan County is still unable to protect it," Gongsun Zan sneered, and he didn't know whether he was telling Chen Kuang or talking to himself, "He said that if his surname was Liu, he would be able to inherit the Han family!"

Chen Kuang flicked his sleeves, seeming to disagree: "Mr. Xuande is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan..."

However, Gongsun Zan waved his hand impatiently, indicating that he didn't have time to listen to Liu Bei's genealogy and lineage theory, which was as long as a foot wrap, and his thinner and narrower eyes only stared at Wang Wu: "What does Liu Bei want?"

Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head: "Liu... Xuande, I want to surrender Cao..."

With a "snap", before Wang Wu finished speaking, Gongsun Zan was already extremely angry. He slapped his palm on the couch and sat up straight: "Nonsense! Then Liu Bei and I have a fellowship! Even if you lose Pingyuan, don't you think so?" I will ignore this righteousness and fail to deal with him with military orders? How can I go to Cao Ah at this time!"

In Gongsun Zan's eyes, he and Cao Cao had turned against each other when they fought against Julu.Since Liu Bei is old with him, of course he will not abandon him and go to his enemies.

so innocent!Wang Wu could not help but sigh softly.He is self-willed and has no tolerance for others. He has great ambitions and few talents, and has no plan to retain talents.In this era, Gongsun Zan's ability to survive to this day is another anomaly brought about by Cao Cao's unwillingness to delay Yuan Shao's dominance and fight another extremely difficult battle of Guandu!

With the huge carrot of pleasing the emperor hanging in front of his eyes, not to mention the friendship between classmates, even if they share the same bed, how could Liu Bei care about it?

This person, Dangyang Changban, ran for his life in a hurry, but even his only son who was still in his infancy was thrown aside, and his two daughters were nowhere to be found, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive.Blood is thicker than water, and even so, how could he treat Gongsun Zan differently?

Chen Kuang raised his head and quickly glanced at Wang Wu.In his expression, there was helplessness mixed with relief, surprise and a bit of understanding, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything, and then lowered his head again.

Wang Wu's voice was calm, but when she looked up at Gongsun Zan, she couldn't help but sneered: "Cao's army has [-] troops, and it has been a month since they besieged Xuzhou. The banners have not been unfurled, and the drums have disappeared. We will soon arrive in Xuzhou."

Gongsun Zan threw off the thin quilt, clenched his hands so that the veins on the backs of his hands were bulging, his knuckles were turning white, and they were creaking. He stared at Wang Wu as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

However, what Wang Wu said was the truth, and even Gongsun Zan knew the fact that Cao Jun was besieged but not attacked. As for Cao's envoy Guo Jia, whether he came or not, Wang Wu could not have lied.

Gongsun Zan's eyes were about to burst, and he laughed back in anger: "Okay, okay, Cao Cao won't fight! I'll fight! I want to see how Liu Beiyu treats me!"

Chen Kuang sighed inaudibly, as if some question that had been pending for a long time had finally been answered, he heaved a sigh of relief, but also faintly sighed inexplicably.

Tian Kai led the army in Jizhou, forced to fight Yuan Shao's two sons, Yan Gang stayed behind in Youzhou, not only to suppress the resurgence of Wuhuan in northern Xinjiang, but also to deal with Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou Prefecture, who had a quarrel with Gongsun Zan, and to guard against changes in Liaodong .

Gongsun Zan didn't have many generals capable of fighting, so if he wanted to conquer Xuzhou, what generals would he have?

Only Zhao Yuner!

Gongsun Zan's expression changed several times, Wang Wu knew that he was weighing the risk of using Zhao Yun again and Liu Bei's vote for Cao, how to get the best of both worlds.

Wang Wu lowered her head, covering her lips with a determined smile.

Gongsun Zan never knew what it means to be able to bend and stretch?Straightforward and ruthless, he would rather bend than bend, he is a person who can't bear the slightest anger.Liu Bei and Cao Cao flattered the emperor together. In the final analysis, they can't be regarded as votes for Cao.But as long as Liu Bei didn't walk with Cao Cao under the banner of flattering the emperor with drums and gongs, who can say that he could make Cao Jun retreat outside Xuzhou City and join forces with Cao Cao to go north?

But the act of catering to the Son of Heaven depends on the swiftness and decisiveness of the troops. Once everyone has figured out the benefits of it, it is afraid that the battle will be turned upside down before they reach Chang'an.This flattery to the emperor may not be able to get Liu Bei's turn.How can Liu Bei be so stupid that everyone knows about it?

On the other hand, Gongsun Zan's murderous intentions towards Zhao Yun have so far been only vaguely noticed by Zhang Yan, who was personally involved in it, except for Wang Wu.Even if Cao Cao publicized this matter in the future, Gongsun Zan can easily say that he deliberately provoked the relationship between the generals and refused to admit it.After all, Zhang Yan stopped the murderous Forty Army Baton back then, and Zhao Yun was unscathed.

Sure enough, Gongsun Zan squinted his eyes, raised his voice to greet the guards standing outside the room, and beckoned Zhao Yun inside.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he said to Wang Wu: "You are tired from running back and forth. I will keep your room still, go and rest."

Wang Wu's eyes flashed. This is... to take her hostage?

It seems that everyone knows about her and Zhao Yun... Her father, who says he can't use tactics, often brings surprises to them unexpectedly. He says he doesn't care about his daughter, but here he is... Careful about things...

Wang Wu shook her head, she didn't have any anxiety in her heart, on the contrary, there was a sense of sweetness, a smile slowly climbed to the corner of her lips, overflowing her eyes.

Everyone knows...well.

After fulfilling the promise, Wang Wu bowed again and left the door before Zhao Yun came.

***

The winding corridors still turned back and forth, and the eaves of the bucket arches broke through the sky. When Wang Wu passed the first corner, his footsteps slowed down.The corner of Zhao Yun's white cloak was blown by the breeze, protruding from the other side of the screen wall.

As if feeling something in his heart, Zhao Yun also slowed down his pace towards Li Xing, and cast his gaze in the direction of the curved corridor.

The two looked at each other from a distance. Although Wang Wu's eyesight was no longer troubled by myopia at this distance, she still couldn't see Zhao Yun's face and expression clearly. She could only see the familiar figure tall and majestic, as calm as his side Thick screen wall.

Wang Wu smiled, and turned around the corner when Gongsun Xu's figure followed Zhao Yun in.

At the end of summer and early autumn, the dark green has not yet turned yellow, and the climate is so dull that there is no wind at all. Therefore, it seems a little hotter than in midsummer, making people uncomfortable.

In the courtyard outside the curved corridor, Yun Jiang was wearing the same sky-blue train as Wang Wu, standing gracefully under an old tree.Seeing Wang Wu's figure, her eyes lit up, and she picked up the hem of Qu Ju's skirt and ran forward.However, after only two steps, she stopped abruptly, looked at Wang Wu, frowned, and looked a little anxious.

It has been nearly half a year since Wang Wu parted from Yunjiang in Huang County.Off the coast of Huang County, Zhang Yan led the Black Mountain Army to retreat to the coastal area, temporarily avoiding Gongsun Zan, but he didn't know when Yun Jiang came to Ju County from Huang County, and how he passed through the layers of guards outside the gate to get in. County government?

Wang Wu looked at the curved corridor that had to go around three or four bends to reach the end, and seeing that there was no one on the left or right, she simply used a posture that had nothing to do with elegance, half sat and half leaned against the fence, lifted the quilt The legs wrapped in layers of skirts turned over.

"You..." Although Yun Jiang was not a woman who obeyed the training of the boudoir, she couldn't help being taken aback by her actions.For a moment, he swallowed back what he was going to say.

Wang Wu casually tugged at the slightly wrinkled train, and hastily pulled Yun Jiang up and down to look him up and down: "Don't tell me, father has detained you here too!"

Yun Jiang was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what she meant.She smiled disapprovingly, with a rare sense of pride and playfulness in her expression: "If you had obeyed your father's order, at this moment, the yard would have been full of people, looking at us, so why not?" Will it be so clean? Don't forget, I grew up here. Your father can send people to surround the gate, but it may not be able to stop me. "

Wang Wu was relieved when she heard the words. When she first saw Yun Jiang, she was really startled, lest Gongsun Zan would keep all the people who could speak up in Qingzhou by her side one by one.

However, after she calmed down, she suddenly realized that what she said just now was that Gongsun Zan "also" detained her. There was no antecedent and no consequence, and Yun Jiang could understand immediately.Obviously, she had known about Zhao Yun in advance.

How did Yun Jiang know about it?

Wang Wu's thoughts moved slightly, and she seemed to think of something vaguely in her heart, but she couldn't be sure.After all, Yun Jiang once traveled thousands of miles for a man from Qingzhou to Liaodong. This matter is far more meaningful to women in this era than Wang Wu's cognition in her previous life.Therefore, even if she is aware of some things, it is difficult to mention them if she cannot be sure.

"So, is there any secret way in this county mansion?" Wang Wu followed her words and said, "Then why are you looking for me? Not necessarily, you came to see how I was trapped by my father."

When it comes to business, the smile on Yun Jiang's face faded slightly: "My brother wants to see you."

"Huh?" Wang Wu looked at her puzzled.Zhao Yun talked to her about Kong Fengping, not only mentioned his good calculation ability, but also highly praised him for being bold, being filial to his mother and not sticking to common sense.

If she hadn't been driving Guo Jia to Xuzhou to trick Liu Bei first, and then was troubled by Gongsun Zan's matter after returning, she would have taken the initiative to visit Yun Jiang's brother.

But I don't know why he wants to see her?

"Brother got news from my father a few days ago and wanted to... go and see." Speaking of Kong Rong who left his wife and child behind when the city was broken, Yun Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of anger in his eyes.However, when he mentioned the word "news", he hesitated for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face, as if he disapproved of Kong Fengping's decision to go to Kong Rong.

"Father... is going to marry a wife again." She paused, although she found it hard to tell, she didn't hide it from Wang Wu.

Wang Wu was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't turn her head around for a moment.Kong Fengping took his mother to seek refuge with Zhang Yan. Isn't his mother Kong Rong's wife?Why does Kong Rong want to...

Seeing Yun Jiang's wry smile, Wang Wu suddenly understood - Kong Rong stopped his wife and remarried!

It's just that in this era, it's extremely normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If there are too many wars, he will lose his wife anytime and anywhere.When a woman is left in the troubled times, and is kidnapped and taken as a wife and concubine, the man simply turns around and remarries, just as if the daughter-in-law died in the chaos...

What's the use of Kong Fengping looking for it like this?Could it be that in this age when the son didn't say anything about his father's faults, could he still stop Kong Rong from marrying again?

The author has something to say: Sudden and cute, this kind of silent stare at each other without saying a word~ Wipe your face!

A pair of scumbag fathers and a pair of younger sisters~ Ah Wu calculated the scumbag father, but found an even more scumbag...

PS Historically, Kong Rong’s original partner was alive or dead. When Yuan Jun attacked the city, he calmed down and pretended to be X. However, when the city was broken, he fled to Cao Cao’s subordinates and continued to be an official. He married another wife and had children~

But it is undeniable that Kong Rong does seem to have two hands in children's education.When he was clicked by Cao Cao, his daughter who was under ten years old could already say that there would be no eggs under the cover of the nest~
