Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

Just as Si Qi expected, Ma Chao just came from Ye City and brought Si Qi the latest news from Ye City. Cao Cao is preparing to raise troops in the next year.

Si Qi frowned: "Who is Sikong targeting this time? Wuhuan? Or the Yuan brothers?"

"Neither of them." Ma Chao said, "It's Gao Gan, governor of Bingzhou. This person defected to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao was defeated. After he surrendered to Cao Cao, he repeated himself again, intending to raise troops against Cao. Gao Qian fought against Xiliang years ago. After one game, I was defeated by my father, and now I have other thoughts, and I can't blame Cao Cao for beating him."

The word high-ranking has great meaning in later generations, and it was standard for many ancient and early male protagonists in the early years.

Si Qi complained about the name silently, and heard Ma Chao ask her, "How many troops are available in your city today?"

Si Qi made a rough estimate and said, "Probably less than [-]."

Still in the case of continuous conscription, a large part of them were recruited temporarily by Chen Xing after receiving news from Ma Chao. After the war, he had to return to work in agriculture, mainly in logistics, and could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Ma Chao showed a troubled look.

But even if it was embarrassing, he had already expected it.

Although Chengping is a rare large county in the local area, it is not easy to have these troops after years of wars.

Ma Chao thought for a while, and said, "The maximum number of troops I can transfer from Liangzhou is only [-]. What do you think, Lord Weng?"

Si Qi said: "I think it's not a big problem."

Seeing that she was sure of what she said, Ma Chao couldn't help but asked with interest: "Does the Lord have any other good strategies?"

Does she have any cards that he doesn't know?

Si Qi smiled mysteriously: "There are still a few new weapons that will be brought to the battlefield to help the general."

Ma Chao said: "Okay, then I'll go back to Xiliang first, and make a perfect plan. If something happens in the future, I will send another envoy to discuss with Lord Weng."

After entering the twelfth lunar month, Wuhuan still did not move.

But Si Qi knew that in terms of historical trends, Ma Chao's words were not false. Even if everything in the city was calm, she could not relax for a moment.

After entering the winter moon, it began to snow in Chengping City, and the howling wind accompanied the snow all night.When Si Qi woke up the next day, the world was covered in silver.

Si Qi stood on the porch watching the snow after eating the food.

The auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year, which is a good sign.

Ah Huang and Ah Zi walked over talking and laughing, Si Qiqi said: "What are you talking about, it's so lively."

Ah Huang hurriedly bowed to Si Qi, and said: "They all said that the snowman made by Mr. Zhou is both beautiful and fun. The servants and servants are playful, so they also took a look at it. It is really novel. The servants have never grown so big. seen."

Si Qi sighed in his heart.Sure enough, a genius is extraordinary even if he makes a snowman.

Ah Fei saw that Si Qi seemed to be interested, so she turned to Lord Weng and asked, "Master Weng, do you want to see it?"

Si Qi was indeed curious: "Go, go and have a look."

Zhou Buyi built a room with ice and snow in the courtyard, which has furniture, plants and two lifelike villains.

Looking at it like this, I really can't make it out in a few hours.

Si Qi came over and smiled at Zhou Buyi: "Sure enough, I have stolen half a day's leisure. I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be so leisurely and leisurely, and he could build a snowman here for half a day. I heard that Cao Chong sent you a letter a while ago. It's almost Chinese New Year, when is the young master planning to go back?"

Zhou Buyi walked down the corridor, and said to Si Qi, "I'm an idler, I'm not as busy as Mr. Uncle Weng. There is nothing wrong in Yecheng, so I'll wait until I go back."

Si Qi said "Okay", Zhou Buyi said again: "The two uncles are very busy these days, and the master seems to have some melancholy in his brows and eyes, as if something important is about to happen, Mr. Zhou is not talented, But I also read some books in the early years, and I think I have enough brains, if there is anything that can be used for me, the Lord, just ask me."

Si Qi said: "Don't dare to obey the order. The young master is a guest from afar, and Ah Ying can't bear to work for the guest."

Zhou Busu smiled.

Lord Weng was indeed cautious.

Seeing that Zhou Buyi didn't speak anymore, Si Qi felt that although everyone is not considered a cooperative relationship, they are getting along well these days, so he didn't say anything: "Young master has your own ideas, I don't force it, but if you If you change your mind and want to stay in Chengping, just come to me."

Zhou Buxin replied "Yes" and personally sent Siqi out.

Si Qi also took a deep breath after walking out the door.

It's really tiring to try and test like this.

After all, he was still not strong enough, so Zhou Buyi kept hesitating.

But in any case, it is good for the other party to be more cautious, and only if they choose carefully can they not change at will.

A few days later, the snow in Chengping City had almost melted, and Liu Yun brought Hua Tuo to Chengping.

For the arrival of his father Liu Yun, Siqi was very happy and had a 120 welcome in his heart.

Although compared with those talented people who are well-known in history in this era, Liu Yun is somewhat incompetent, and he always likes to make up his mind.But this is his own father after all, and he has many advantages that others don't have.

After seeing him bring Hua Tuo over, Si Qi felt a little more at ease in his heart.

The first thing Liu Yun did when he came to Chengping was not to visit the school that Si Qi had just built, nor to go shopping to see the street scene in Chengping, he didn’t even go to his favorite melon field, but after dinner, he hurriedly He rushed to the study and wrote a letter to Liu Bei.

Ever since Cao Cao found out that Liu Yun had sent letters to Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others and beat him up a lot, Liu Yun had been enduring it and never dared to write letters to Liu Bei under Cao Cao's nose, to attract his attention.

For Liu Yun, he did not write to his dear cousin Liu Bei due to the situation, but it did not mean that he did not miss him.

Liu Yun forcibly suppressed himself for such a long time, and he would not let it go whenever he had the opportunity. After Liu Yun came to Chengping, the first thing he did was to write a letter to Liu Bei.

Si Qi stood aside to help Liu Yun study ink, and translated the contents of the letter in vernacular in her brain. The more she read it, the more she felt that the letter was so sour that she had a toothache.

My dear cousin Xuande!It is said that we have not seen each other for a day, like three autumns, we have not seen so many days and nights, and those are all thousands of misses.

Knowing that you have a good life with Liu Biao and that you are valued by him, I am very relieved. Our brothers are good at this. No matter where you are, in any environment, you are popular no matter what you do. This is the real outstanding talent. .

I was waiting for you in the vegetable field in Jingyuan, and I have been waiting for you, but I still haven't seen you in the end.Later, due to work needs, I had to move my family to Yecheng. Like you, I left my hometown in order to develop my own business.

But I believe that our efforts are worth it after all.

Now that I am in Chengping, I live in Aying's house.

There are good farms here, large melon fields and vegetable fields.

The paper is short and the love is long, what I can't finish is my miss for you; the future comes and swallows, I can't express my best wishes.

I am here, looking forward to meeting you in Chengping.

And the signature is "I miss your cousin every day, Yang An".

In the past, Si Qi had read many letters between Liu Yun and Liu Bei, and this one was not the most disgusting one. After Si Qi's teeth became sore for a while, he no longer took it seriously.

After Liu Yun finished writing the letter to Liu Bei, he just felt comfortable and didn't care too much.After getting along with my daughter for two days, I realized that my daughter was so busy that there was always a little anxiety between her eyebrows and eyes.

This was something Liu Yun had never seen before.

As a good father who cares about his daughter, even if Liu Yundang noticed that Si Qi was wrong, he said to his daughter with concern: "What's on your mind, Ah Ying?"

Si Qi didn't think about hiding anything from Liu Yun, and Dang even told him the things he had talked with Ma Chao before.

Liu Yun was surprised.

Because he also learned that Cao Cao had already decided to send troops to attack the Yuan family brothers, and by the way, he had to clean up the senior officials.

In the past few years, Cao Cao has been fighting with the Yuan family almost every year in order to unify Jiangbei. Liu Yun originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with them, but after listening to Si Qi's words, he realized that it was not the case.

If the Yuan family brothers were really desperate and turned to form an alliance with Wuhuan, and Wuhuan would probably take advantage of the geographical location to go south to make peace for military resources and food, then his daughter would be in danger.

Liu Yun asked Si Qi worriedly, "What are our chances of winning?"

If not, it is better to abandon the city and flee, at least in Yecheng, Cao Cao will protect them.

Ke Siqi said yes.

"We have food, an army, and weapons, and now we have formed an alliance with Ma Chao in Liangzhou. I think it's not a big problem."

Liu Yun couldn't believe it: "Really?"

"It's true." Si Qi said, "It's okay to talk about other things, but our city lacks a general. Although the Huo family that Chen Xing is optimistic about has practiced martial arts for generations, it has been abandoned a lot these years. Huo Qiulan It's good to have high talent and kung fu, but I've never been on a battlefield, and that's what worries me the most."

After Liu Yun heard this, he also started to worry, and when he wrote to Liu Bei again, he inevitably brought out some of them.

My dear cousin Xuande, you who are far away in Jingzhou may not know my current misery.

After I came to Chengping, I heard that there had been two years of famine in the northern border of Wuhuan, and it had begun to be turbulent, and the people there lived on horseback all year round, most of them were barbaric and shapeless, and lived by plundering.

It is a headache to think that they are so close to us and have been moving frequently recently.

Chengping was not too close to Jingzhou, but not long after, Liu Yun received a reply from Liu Bei.

Knowing that my virtuous brother is in distress, I can't sleep or eat, I can't sleep day and night, I wish I could fly to your side immediately to solve your problems.

Now Jingzhou is relatively peaceful, everything is fine, Liu Biao treats me well, Liu Cong also respects me, brother, I can understand your difficulties, but I am living in Jingzhou now, and I am dependent on others, so I can't help you much.

But if I don't think of a way to help you this time, I will never forgive myself for being like this in my life.

Although I, Liu Xuande, are not without great talents, there are many talented people around me, how about I invite one of the most capable generals here to go to Chengping and help a group of virtuous brothers to tide over the difficulties?

Liu Yun jumped up after reading the letter, put on his shoes and went to look for Si Qi.

Si Qi was eating roasted taro at home, and it was delicious when dipped in honey.

Liu Yun walked all the way, feeling much more excited, walked in with steady steps, sat down and cleaned his hands, ate a taro with Si Qi, then took out the letter, and said slowly to Si Qi: "Xuande's reply to me just arrived early this morning."

In fact, Si Qi was not particularly interested in the letters between the two old men, but in a friendly and polite manner, he asked Liu Yun, "What did uncle say in the letter?"

Liu Yundao: "Xuande was worried about Chengping's situation, and he couldn't sit still at the thought of being unable to help us. He thought of a compromise method and sent a general to help Chengping defend the city. Ah Ying felt that this solution How are you?"

Si Qi's eyes lit up, and he praised Liu Yun, "Uncle is really generous!"

Si Qi only knew that Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to Jiangdong when he joined forces with Soochow to fight against Cao Cao, but he never thought that Liu Bei himself would be so generous, and now he would be willing to give her a general to help defend the city.

After Si Qi washed his hands, he took Liu Bei's letter devoutly and read it carefully from beginning to end.

Siqi's reading experience this time is very pleasant, and even the words of lovesickness between Liu Bei and Liu Yun feel sincere and vivid, not boring at all.

In the letter, Liu Bei mentioned that Si Qi would be assigned a "most capable general" to help defend the city.

Thinking of the senior generals around Liu Bei today, Si Qi couldn't help but become curious.

Does this "most capable general" refer to Guan Yunchang, the martial sage, Zhang Yide who broke the Dangyang bridge, or Changshan Zhao Zilong who can ride the savior alone?
