The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Yuan Shao's failure made Jian'an's six years a little more relaxed and comfortable.There is no urgent opponent to fight, and weak opponents are not worth conquering. The ground in Guandu has resumed agricultural activities. The most difficult time of the famine has passed, and everything is recovering.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not send troops in the first month of this year.

In February of this year, no troops were sent.

March... In March, Cao Cao wanted to send troops. Taking advantage of the victory to pursue Yuan Shao's remnant soldiers or to seize the prosperous Jingzhou were both good choices, but at this time...the solar eclipse.This matter seemed very unlucky, so the time for dispatching troops was delayed until April.

Because Xun Yu suggested to chase Yuan Shao by victory and let Jingzhou go temporarily, Cao Cao fought all the way along the Yellow River to Cangting, and then went to Runan to attack the opponent he had always been obsessed with: Uncle Liu Huang.In the end, there was still no suspense: Uncle Liu continued to escape, but this time he did not lose his wife and children, and made progress.Continue to change bosses, this time it is Liu Jingsheng from Jingzhou.Guo Jia held the map and said silently in his heart: Uncle Liu Huang, don't be so truthful, are you Boss Cao's undercover agent?Every time you defect to whomever Boss Cao hits next... it really is a guiding light.

In September, Cao Cao returned to Xudu, and then he gave himself a vacation, and handed over the crusade to his subordinates. Whether it was to pacify the East China Sea or comfort Yizhou, Cao Cao did not personally go out.He has been busy with family affairs for a long time, such as arranging the three daughters into the palace to be nobles for the emperor; for example, communicating with Cao Pi about the relationship between father and son, and guiding Cao Pi, who once again lost his teacher's guidance, to arrange Cao Pi and Ren's wedding It's done... Uh, so when I saw Cao Pi's gloomy look, I thought of Sima Yi. Cao Cao asked Guo Jiazhongda where?

Guo Jia said that she had asked for leave and hadn't come back until now.

Cao Cao was very surprised and asked Guo Jia why.Guo Jia said I don't know.

So Cao Cao thought about it, and felt that it was possible that Sima Yi had taught for so long and hadn't been given an official position, so he felt dissatisfied.At Sima Yi's level, he can assist Guo Jia in handling state affairs, which is not bad, and should be done by an official, so he said to Guo Jia: "I plan to give Zhongda an official position, you see, let him do the trick. How are the rafters?"

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "It's not impossible, it's just that according to the regulations, to be an official, you must first promote Xiaolian, and you must be recommended by Hanoi County..."

Cao Cao waved his hand indifferently: "Then let Hanoi County write a recommendation letter, what's so difficult about it?"

Guo Jia thought about it. Anyway, Sima Yi had sworn an oath and was also threatened. How to reject the official is her business. Hanoi County writes a letter of recommendation - just write it.

So, this year, the imperial edict to summon Sima Yi came to Sima Mansion.

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua were sitting and drinking tea, they said it was tea, but it was actually made of green onion and ginger, and there was a green forest tree in front of them, it was just pretty, no one was in the mood to eat it.

"What about this?"

"Didn't Senior Sister Guo tell you to pretend to be sick?" Zhang Chunhua had already heard the cause and effect of the matter from Sima Yi.

"How can you pretend to be ill for the rest of your life?" Sima Yi sighed.

"That's right..." Zhang Chunhua held his chin and blinked his eyes, "Why don't you invite your father and brother to come and discuss with them?"

"Then it's better to find a way on your own. They are very happy that I don't go out to be an official and show my face. They are not happy that I have to live and they can't kill me. So they neutralize me and they don't think I am a person. How can this be the case? Never mind. Besides, my disobedience without a good reason is a capital offense, and I think they will be very happy to see this result."

"This means that now your father, your brother, your senior sister, and your lord are all looking forward to your death, and I am probably the only one who sincerely hopes that you will live, ha ha..." Zhang Chunhua's laughter was like Crisp as a silver bell.

"I really can't fake wind paralysis, it's too easy to pretend... Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry to return to life tomorrow, let's talk about it later."

In fact, I knew what to do the next day.

The next day, Sima Yi encountered an embarrassing but normal thing—menstrual cycle.

The biggest difference between this cycle and previous ones is pain.The pain was worse than before, so Sima Yi could only lie on the bed for the whole day the next day. The pain made her want to do nothing. It is said that the human body has a self-protection mechanism, which is the self-locking of the nerves. The pain passed out.Sima Yi passed out without the sound of "Kaba", but she wanted to sleep because of the pain, so she fell asleep unknowingly, and when she woke up again, an hour passed... I don't know if this is considered self-locking.

This day, when the pain came down, Sima Yi felt that he had exhausted all his physical strength and energy to resist the pain. She didn't want to move, and she couldn't move anymore. It was difficult to lift a little finger.

On the third day, things didn't improve obviously. She had been lying on the couch in the same position for two hours, and every movement seemed to aggravate the pain.

At this time, the recruiter couldn't wait any longer. He met Sima Fang and asked, "Sima Jingzhao, when will the second son go to the Sikong Mansion?"

Sima Fang kept silent, he really didn't know, he didn't want to take care of Sima Yi's affairs anymore, even though Sima Yi came to see him when the edict came, and told him that he would refuse, he just hadn't figured out the reason for the refusal.But after all, he couldn't answer the recruiter without a specific reason, and he didn't dare to make up a reason. What if he didn't talk to Sima Yi in the future?

In the strange silence, Zhang Chunhua, who was wearing a pink-trimmed curly train, suddenly ran into the main hall in panic: "Father! Father! Zhongda is not good!"

Sima Fang hates Sima Yi, and even Zhang Chunhua, but it's true that Zhang Chunhua's personality is not very likable.So Sima reprimanded: "There are guests here, why is it so rude?"

In fact, after these years of wars, no one cared too much about etiquette. There were also things about women showing up in public. Everyone didn't take it as a big deal. Sima Fang just didn't like Zhang Chunhua.Zhang Chunhua himself knew this, but pretended not to know.She still had a panicked expression, and tears were streaming down her face: "The son and wife are guilty! It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and I had no other choice. I hope my father will forgive me! Zhongda was conscripted, so he was worried about this matter. He was afraid of the wind and cold last night. Today Chen...I can't move my limbs...I have no claim, I have reported it to my aunt, my aunt ordered Father Bai..."

Everyone was shocked, then Sima Fang took Sima Lang and Sima Fu to the inner house, the recruiter followed, and Zhang Chunhua followed behind while wiping away tears.

So when everyone went to the inner house, what they saw was Sima holding his corpse on the bed, and Mrs. Zhang crying and calling by the bed.

Not to be outdone, Zhang Chunhua rushed to Sima Yi's bed and cried. The tears of the two women were indeed troublesome enough, but even so Sima Yi remained motionless.

After a while, the medical officer arrived, and the result of the diagnosis was—well, Fengbi Syndrome.

This can't be blamed on the medical officer's nonsense. To the medical officer, although the pulse condition is normal, the person does not move at all. After trying to get an injection, there is no reaction, and the relatives said "suffering the wind", so that's okay. , is the disease of wind arthralgia.

Although Sima Fang felt that it was strange, he felt relieved that Sima Yi could not be an official, so he replied to the recruiter: "Children are not blessed, and I have been blessed by the emperor. I am suffering from wind paralysis, so it is really difficult to apply. I hope the angel will reply." Tianyan, speak well about children's affairs, and choose others to serve the country."

There are relatives who are worried and crying about Sima Yi's illness. They have the symptoms they have seen with their own eyes and the doctor's testimony.

Guo Jia was beside Cao Cao writing official documents when he returned to his life. Although he was a little puzzled when he heard the report, he was quite relieved, but Cao Cao was not so easy to fool.

"I saw him traveling with his brother a few days ago, and he fell ill today? Is it any wonder?"

So Cao Cao sent someone to visit Sima's mansion at night. Guo Jia didn't know the exact time of this incident, but she knew that it would happen sooner or later according to the historical records. She prayed for Sima Yi: Zhongda, please pray for your own blessings.

Sima Yi also thought of it.

She doesn't think she can keep calm under the sword, but the problem is: there is no other choice!Applying for recruitment is death, not pretending to be sick and not being recruited is also death, and pretending to be sick is also very likely to be found out and die, anyway, what are you afraid of?If he could hide his illness by pretending to be ill, wouldn't he have to die?

Sima Yi suddenly thought of the child with the same name who was indirectly killed by him. It was such a desperate situation at that time, and he chose to fight for a chance to survive; she also thought of Mrs. Zhang, she was like this when she was beaten by Sima Fang Desperate, he also went all out and called "Mother" to save himself... Sima Yi thought why I always play life-gambling games in such desperate situations.

Sima Yi had agreed with Zhang Chunhua in advance that no one would serve her in her room at night, since they couldn't hide anyway, let the assassin attack her alone.

When the assassin entered the dark room, Sima Yi was awake, but of course she was still in pain, and her whole body was exhausted.

The assassin looked at her, and Sima Yi looked at her with his eyes open, and then the assassin suddenly raised his knife and chopped it down!

Sima Yi closed her eyes reflexively, but her body remained motionless, not because she didn't want to move, it was really difficult for her to move at all.

The assassin's strength is well grasped, it's just to frighten Sima Yi.Not hurt.Seeing that Sima Yi didn't respond, the assassin turned and walked out.

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the assassin suddenly turned around and returned, and at some point in his hand there was a gleaming needle, which was twice as thick as that used by the medical officer who came to acupuncture during the day!This needle pierced directly from Sima Yi's left arm!

It hurts - Sima Yi felt that every cell in his body was clamoring for this word - except for the vocal cords.This kind of pain was much sharper than during menstrual period. Sima Yi believed that he lost his voice in pain at that moment. Of course, the slight muscle twitch did not cause obvious movement of the body, especially when the outside was covered with a quilt. case.

The assassin looked at Sima Yi's reaction - of course he didn't know that Sima Yi had already used the ten torture rounds in his heart at this time - and then pulled out four of the same needles and pierced Sima Yi's shoulder.

Maybe it's because he got used to the pain, but Sima Yi still didn't seem to respond.

The assassin waited for a while, and when Sima Yi felt that he could not hold on any longer, he actually took out another shining dagger!

It's over, Sima Yi thought desperately.

At this moment, there were footsteps outside the door, and a woman's voice came: "Husband? Husband? I can't bear to rest alone. I think it's better to serve my husband by the bedside." Then there was the sound of pushing the door.

The assassin was frightened and jumped out of the window into the backyard.

When the door opened, it was Zhang Chunhua who came in.She was wearing obscene clothes and a coat made of straight trains, holding an oil lamp in her hand, and without a maid, she went straight to Sima Yi's bed, shone the light on Sima Yi's bed, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Wake up." Wake up, I know you are not dead. The assassin has already run away. Cao Sikong is really ruthless, look at the needles on your body, they pierce you like a badger."

Only then did Sima Yi speak, with pain in his tone: "You're still laughing! You know how dangerous it is tonight! Quickly pull out the needle for me!"

Zhang Chunhua pursed his lips and chuckled, stretched out his hand and pulled out the five needles one by one. "Husband—you should thank me. If I didn't come in at this time on purpose, maybe that shining dagger tasted your blood."

"You've been watching?" Sima Yi was taken aback, staring at Zhang Chunhua and asked.

"Yeah, as soon as the assassin came in, I started to look through the crack of the door. I have to say, my husband has great stamina~"

Terrible woman, Sima Yi thought.

"Okay," Zhang Chunhua put away the five needles, "I think this test is over, you can lie down in the future and don't go anywhere, I will gradually dismiss all the servants around you, no Does anyone know."

"I will not forgive the old Cao family."

"What?" Zhang Chunhua didn't hear clearly.

"I said that I will never forgive the old Cao's family!" Sima Yi said through gritted teeth.

In the seventh year of Jian'an, Guo Jia was not surprised to learn that Cao Cao was going to do something in the first month, this time to build water conservancy, Suiyang Canal.

Later, when he got the news of Yuan Shao's death, Guo Jia remembered what happened after Yuan Shu's death. No one cared about this person's departure, but only cared about the benefits that this person's departure would bring to the living.As soon as Yuan Shu died, his subordinates split, and so did Yuan Shao. His two sons, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan each led Xin Ping Guo Tu and Shen Pei Feng Ji to split.

How boring, Guo Jia yawned, this kind of person, if you don't attack him, he will torture himself to death.

Xun Yu still came to visit Guo Jia every day, chatting with Guo Jia, Guo Jia felt very speechless, his illness was already cured, and this man came to visit him without bringing any wine.So Guo Jia began to think about other things, she was really bored, she wanted to torment others, for example, Jiang Dong, whom she had never forgotten.

Every time Xun Yu talked with Xun Yu about politics, economy, history, literature, and even nonsense, he listened carefully, and when it was his turn to complain, Xun Yu just smiled gently, and then glanced at Nu Xin.As soon as Xun Yu left, Nu Xin taught Guo Jia a lesson: "Mr. has recovered from his illness, so he forgot how he got sick in the first place. He still only knows how to drink. What if he gets sick again?"

Guo Jia was embarrassed, saying in his heart that it is a common problem of human beings to forget the pain when the scar is healed.

But not everyone can heal their scars and forget about the pain. Sima Yi stood beside the bed, blowing the rare wind, thinking about the needle holes on his body that could no longer be seen.

People can't be too idle, too idle is easy to make troubles.

Zhou Yu organized troops in Chaisang and drilled the navy. Sun Quan had restricted her authority to command the infantry and cavalry. It was unclear whether it was out of goodwill or suspicion.

Zhou Yu is guarding the bank of the river to blow the evening breeze. In the evening, mist will rise near the water, and the reeds will disappear and appear in the field of vision under the breeze, which is very poetic.

"General!" Xiaoqiao came with a cloak, "General, the wind is strong by the river, let's go back after a while."

"Lujiang...doesn't there be any news?"

"No, don't worry, general, my lord has no edict."

"That's good……"

Back in the dormitory, Xiaoqiao ordered someone to pass on the meal. She was eating with Zhou Yu when suddenly another order came to report: "My lord's order!"

Zhou Yu shook his hand, and a small piece of porridge spilled out of the bowl. Xiaoqiao quickly put down the bowl and looked at Zhou Yu worriedly: "Is the general okay?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Take the order." Instead of entangled in wild thoughts, it is better to face it happily.

The message from Lujiang asked Zhou Yu to return to Lujiang to discuss important matters.Attached to the order is Sun Quan's handwritten letter, briefly explaining the reason.

Cao Cao sent an envoy to send a letter, ordering Sun Quan to send Renzi to Xudu in the name of the court, and to put it bluntly, he was a hostage.Sun Quan could not make a decision, and the opinions of his officials were not unified, so he asked Zhou Yu to return to Lujiang to discuss the matter.

After reading this letter, Zhou Yu was in a trance for a moment: Jiang Dong's opinions were almost never one-sided in the impression.The old protagonist Sun Wentai didn’t like to listen to people’s opinions when he was alive, so what the people below him thought had little influence on his decision-making; More cautious and more hesitant.

"General, if you don't want to go back to Lujiang, you can write a letter to the lord to explain the advantages and disadvantages." Xiaoqiao looked at Zhou Yu in a daze, wondering if she was in a dilemma about whether to go back or not, so he made a considerate plan.

"I can't explain this matter clearly in a letter." Zhou Yu shook his head and stood up, "My lord specially ordered me to go back to Lujiang for this purpose. If I don't go, my intentions are really wrong. Besides, this matter is very important, and it is difficult for my lord to do it." The decision shows that the parties have different opinions, and I need to go back and persuade them one by one."

"I don't know what Zhang Zibu Zhang Changshi's opinion is? If he agrees with the general, I can ask him to persuade the officials on his behalf."

"Zibu is a square man, with great prestige, and he manages government affairs in an orderly manner. It's just that he represents civil servants. As for military commanders, someone needs to express his opinion in front of the lord."

Zhou Yu returned to Lujiang, this time she did not bring troops, but Xiaoqiao and dozens of servants, and immediately lived in Jianwei Zhonglang's mansion.

Xiaoqiao arranged for people to go around to manage the affairs of the mansion, and Zhou Yu directly sent people to report to Sun Quan that he had arrived.Xiaoqiao watched the messenger go out, and was always worried, for fear that Sun Quan would send a secret order ordering Zhou Yu to discuss matters alone.When Zhou Yu took her back to Lujiang to attend Sun Ce's funeral two years ago, Sun Quan issued such a secret order one night. When Zhou Yu returned to the mansion the next day, he was in a bad mood, with empty eyes, and lay on the couch for two days. Not eating or drinking, Xiaoqiao almost died of panic at that time.Later, Lu Su came to see Zhou Yu with Sun Quan's warrant, persuaded her for a long time, and told her that Sun Quan asked her to go back to Chaisang to train the navy immediately, and Zhou Yu's eyes regained some anger.Then Zhou Yu went back to Chai Sang to celebrate Sun Quan on the first day of the Chinese New Year for two consecutive years. There was a big banquet in the Marquis Wu's mansion, and Xiaoqiao was worried. The general went to the house to discuss matters.” The next day, someone was sent to pick him up, and although Zhou Yu who was picked up was not so distraught that he looked like a walking corpse, his spirit was obviously not good, he still didn’t think about eating, kept silent, and sometimes sat by the window On the side, looking at the piano, flipping through the books of the year, weeping silently.The Qin was used to entertain and nourish the character when he and Sun Ce lived temporarily, and the letter was naturally the content of the exchange with Sun Ce Yuyan back then.Xiaoqiao woke up in the middle of the night, and occasionally saw Zhou Yu burning words one by one, all of which were written in one content:

The wild geese are in the cloud and the fish are in the water, and the green qi is heartbroken.

So in Xiaoqiao's eyes, Sun Quan's secret orders are more terrifying than scourges.

He was worried all night, but he was very calm.

In the early morning of the next day, after Zhou Yu had just washed and washed in Xiaoqiao's service, Sun Quan sent someone to invite Zhou Yu to the mansion to discuss matters, and specifically stated that all civil and military officials were present.

Zhou Yu looked as usual, gave Xiaoqiao a few words, then got up and went to Wuhou's mansion.

This is actually a big conference.Everyone sat together and waited for Sun Quan to come. When Sun Quan came, he listened to the discussion. He had everything he wanted to say. Those who suggested sending Ren Zi, those who suggested not sending Ren Zi, and those who suggested not doing anything and wait and see what happened...

Zhou Yu didn't speak, Lu Su looked at her next to her: "Gong Jin has made a decision?"

"My lord has already made a decision." Zhou Yu answered irrelevantly.

After discussing for a long time without any result, Sun Quan waved his sleeves to make the crowd disperse, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su also got up to leave.But a servant came up and stopped Zhou Yu: "The general stays. The Lord's wife is waiting in the inner hall."

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su beside him, and Lu Su gave her an encouraging look before leaving first.

Zhou Yu came to the back hall to meet Sun Quan and Mrs. Wu.Mrs. Wu lovingly supported Zhou Yu: "Yu'er, the old woman is old and has never cared about Jiangdong's government affairs. Zhongmou wants to discuss government affairs with you. What can I say to her?"

Zhou Yu nodded, and sat down with Sun Quan as the chief minister, and Sun Quan asked about Ren Zi.

"Renzi is different from a proton. Renzi is an official position granted by the imperial court. This person does not have to be the master's parent and son, and the clan is fine. A proton is a threat, and the master's close relatives must be the hostage. Cao Cao knows that the master has no parents. My younger brother went to Xudu to become an official, just to test the lord's intentions: if the lord obeys, Cao Cao will restrain the lord, knowing that the lord has no intention of competing with him; It has the meaning of aspiring for the top and competing for the title. Yu sees the meaning of the master, and does not want to be a son."

Sun Quan hesitated: "Gong Jin's words are true. However, it is the emperor's edict. If you don't obey it, it will not follow the law."

"Today's discussion in the hall, Zibu and others are also worried about this. I am afraid that if things don't go according to Cao's intentions, he will come to attack and fall into the water and fire in the east of the river. Just now, Cao's intention is to test, and he has no intention of advancing Jiangdong. Now Guandu Even though the two Yuans are still there, Ma Teng is guarding the north, Liu Biao is in Jingzhou, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are in the middle of Shu, and Dong Cheng's old troops are in Xudu, Cao Cao will have no time to look east."

"According to Gongjin's opinion..."

"If you are a son, you will be manipulated, which is also a sign of weakness. The master inherits the foundation of his father and brother, and the one who has lived through the three generations is based on Jiangdong. He will rule the world and order the Kyushu. How can he be controlled by others! If you refuse to manipulate, just say that there is no one at present. sent."

Mrs. Wu listened and smiled slightly. She was happy to see Zhou Yu who was well-organized and clear-sighted. This was the radiant Zhou Yu she knew. This kind of Zhou Yu was what Jiang Dong needed. No matter from which angle, Wu Madam didn't even want to see a Zhou Yu who could only prosper with Sun Ce and die with Sun Ce.

"Zhongmou, Gongjin's words are true. She is the same age as your brother, and she has a lot of experience. I regard her as a parent and child. You must treat Gongjin kindly, so that you can inherit your brother's will, carry forward Jiangdong, and expand the ambition of the world."

Sun Quan had already decided not to be a son. Zhou Yu saw that the matter was over and wanted to leave. Mrs. Wu stopped her and went back to the inner hall first, taking away all the servants, leaving only Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, how have you been these few months?"

"My lord, Hong Fu, everything is fine."

"It's expedient for me to distribute the commanding power of the horse infantry and cavalry to the old general Cheng Demou and others. You...you don't blame me, do you?"

"My lord is very worried. My lord passed away early, and the hearts of the generals were in turmoil. Separation of powers and checks and balances is the best policy to protect Jiangdong. Kuang Yu's spirit is not good, and he leads too many troops, so there may be omissions."

Then there was a long silence.

"Gongjin... go and see Shao'er. Stay with your mother for dinner, and I will send someone to take you back home. If you don't want to stay in Lujiang for a long time, you can go back to Chaisang tomorrow."

Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised, she looked up at Sun Quan.

"I know you don't want to see...then you can go back early, but you must take care of your health. I heard from Xiaoqiao that you are not in good spirits these days? Then avoid going to the riverside. The river is foggy and humid, which is easy to cause death. Illness. Do you still remember Lu Fan and Lu Ziheng? He is the prefect of Danyang now. A few days ago, he brought some Xinfeng wine as a tribute. You can take some back home. Drink a cup every day to dispel dampness and cold..."

Zhou Yu didn't want to listen anymore after hearing this, she thought, she couldn't listen anymore.

So she abruptly interrupted Sun Quan: "Your Majesty will leave."

Sun Quan thoughtfully stopped talking, and called someone to send Zhou Yu to see Sun Shao.

When Zhou Yu went out, he thought belatedly: I forgot to remind the lord to call himself "Gu" this time, although Sun Quan always called himself that when talking to other people.

The author has something to say:

This chapter is okay, the next chapter will be broken...
