Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

Perhaps it was because of Zhao Yun's joining that the battle went very smoothly. From the evening of the first day to the early morning of the second day, Wuhuan was defeated and fled north in a hurry.

Si Qi had only met Zhao Yun twice in Xuchang before, so he was not considered acquainted, but because he was so handsome and appeared in such an unusual way this time, even after so many years, it was still a sight to see him again. I recognized it.

Zhao Zilong was a famous Confucian general during the Three Kingdoms period, and Siqi has a deep understanding of this.

Few people can combine these two temperaments.

Usually people who are too refined are a little weak when they lead troops, while those powerful generals are usually too hard-edged, and the word is not even related to elegance.

But Zhao Yun can combine these two temperaments together, which is not against the harmony at all, quite a bit of the demeanor of "National Scholars Unparalleled".

Although Si Qi is a face controler, for her, Zhao Yun's type of handsome guy has surpassed the stage of looking at his face. Compared with his appearance and facial features, she is more attracted and convinced by his temperament.

Zhao Yun did not expect that this battle would go so smoothly, and Chengping's army would have such a heavyweight weapon in their hands, which could completely deter the enemy.

After Wuhuan retreated, Siqi ordered people to open the city gate to welcome Zhao Yun and the soldiers into the city.

Zhao Yun finally got to meet King Li and Lord Weng after so many days of toil.

Compared with the person he met in Xuchang a few years ago, King Li didn't change much. Time flies, but he didn't leave too many traces on the handsome man. Today, King Li still looks young and handsome.

Compared to King Li, Weng Lord Chengping has changed a bit more.

At that time, she was only a child of four or five years old, and now she has grown into a 12-year-old girl.

The Han Dynasty was in decline, and the feudal lords were separated. Although the Lord Weng's early wisdom was very famous in Xudu City in his early years, there were also a large number of people who were not optimistic about it.

Now it seems that the Weng Lord has not only become more and more ordinary like the people said, on the contrary, he has put all his ingenuity into practice, and has become even more dazzling among the crowd.

Now that the crisis in the city had been resolved, Siqi prepared good wine and food to reward the soldiers, and invited Zhao Yun to a separate banquet.

Zhao Yun came all the way, and when he came to the city, he learned that Chengping's main force had been transferred to Youzhou, Wuhuan invaded, and Chengping was trapped.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao had known each other very early in the morning when the Eighteenth Route feudal lords were attacking Dong Zhuo. According to Liu Bei's instructions before leaving, Zhao Yun found Ma Chao with great difficulty after some inquiries and based on various traces left on the battlefield.

Ma Chao had already broken through and was about to continue advancing eastward, so Zhao Yun transferred back from Ma Chao the [-] troops that Si Qi had handed over to Zhen Shu, and brought them back to rescue Liu Bei's good brother Liu Yun and his cousin A Ying.

For Siqi, Zhao Yun's appearance was like a magic weapon descended from heaven, and Siqi's heart was full of joy and gratitude.

After the banquet was over, Si Qi personally sent Zhao Yun out, but when he came back, he found that Liu Yun was in a bad mood, sitting in the corner and muttering to himself, not knowing what he was talking about.

Seeing the enthusiasm in Liu Bei's letter, Liu Yun also said that he would give himself a "most capable general". Liu Yun thought that the other party would at least give him a team, but he didn't want to only come with a young general in white and more than [-] people. The entourage, who was still a not-so-famous general, made him feel happy and at the same time a little disappointed.

Si Qi sighed.

Today's Liu Bei has not made any achievements yet, and only lives under Liu Biao. His generals and military advisers are indeed not well-known at present. Zhao Yun's reputation is still slightly worse than that of Zhang Liao and others. It is no wonder that her father appeared Cognitive bias.

Anyway, it's not been a day or two since he's been like this, and Si Qi is already used to it. When Liu Bei develops and Zhao Yun becomes famous in the future, they may not be able to hug Zhao Yun's thigh if they want to.

The next thing that came back to Chengping was all good news. Ma Chao fought all the way east to the seaside, and took down one county in Bingzhou and three counties in Youzhou in a row, preparing to return to the city.

Cao Cao also won consecutive battles and won the five counties of Jizhou and Youzhou, which is worthy of the busy work of the past six months.

Because he was worried that Wuhuan would commit another crime, Zhao Yun stayed in the city and did not leave.After Zhen Shu successfully rescued Ma Chao, he was also worried about the safety of the king and Chengping, so he didn't stay in Youzhou for long, but followed Zhao Yun back to the city.

This is also a rare and good opportunity, so Siqi asked Zhen Shu to consult Zhao Yun more often, and arm his mind with more actual combat knowledge. In the future, he can also gain more actual combat experience when teaching students in the military academy, so as to be better. Avoid "talking about war on paper" as much as possible.

Zhen Shu also followed Zhao Yun all the way back, knowing the ability of this General Zhao, and now he listened to the king's request, so he naturally wanted to ask General Zhao for advice.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhen Shu followed Si Qi's instructions and came to Zhao Yun's side, asking him for some advice on how to lead troops.

Zhao Yun also heard that Mrs. Cheng Ping had set up many schools in the city, some specializing in agriculture, some in crafts, and even military.

Zhao Yun also heard that this Mr. Zhen was originally Weng Lord's head of guards, but later the school was short of people, so Weng Lord sent him to serve in the military academy.

Zhen Shu sat down to ask Zhao Yun some questions. He was sitting by the window, and the morning sun shone on his body through the window, reflecting the originally beautiful facial features more clean and clear, and even the hanging light and shadow seemed to become more beautiful. .

Zhao Yun shook his head helplessly, and wrote a long list of records on the bamboo slips.

It turns out that what young girls appreciate these days is this kind of boy.

==

After several months of fighting, the north was basically calmed down, and the city of Chengping was restored to its former vitality.

Now that it is April, Ma Chao is still in Youzhou and has not yet returned. According to the original agreement, his wish to go to Xiliang to watch the lantern festival on the eighth day of April is not easy to come true.

Fortunately, the people here in Chengping also love the Lantern Festival, especially after the two Wuhuan sieges these days, the people also need an opportunity to relax and vent their emotions.

Siqi proposed to hold a Lantern Festival for the tenth year of Jian'an.

Both Liu Yun and Chen Xing fully agreed.

In order to thank Zhao Yun for his hard work these days, Si Qi specially invited him to watch the lanterns in the city, and entrusted Liu Yun to accompany him.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Si Qi asked Huo Qiulan to visit Xi Daying and the soldiers guarding the city, and sent them the lanterns and cakes that he specially sent someone to tie up.

When the two returned to the city, it was already dusk, so Si Qi asked Huo Qiulan to take a flower petal bath in the soup pool, washed away his fatigue, tried Si Qi's newly made facial mask and essential oil massage, and ate chicken soup cloud After swallowing the noodles, I went out to shop for the festival.

Not long after Si Qi went out, he ran into Liu Yun who was entrusted by Si Qi to go shopping with Zhao Yun on the road.

Liu Yun also had a social event today. He originally had an appointment with someone to drink, but Si Qi entrusted him to postpone the occasion and come out to go shopping with Zhao Yun.

Seeing that Si Qi and Huo Qiulan had already returned to the city, Liu Yun quickly handed Zhao Yun over to Si Qi, and went to drink and compose poems with a few new friends, discussing the way of farming.

Anyway, besides Si Qi, he is the biggest in the city now, no matter what he says, there are people who are willing to follow suit.

With such a general by his side, Si Qi only felt that walking on the road was full of security.

Even though Si Qi is already the owner of Wangcheng, in Zhao Yun's cognition, she is still the "smart little niece of my virtuous brother Liu Yun's family" in Liu Bei's mouth, a little lady who needs to be taken care of all the time.

The changes in Chengping are obvious to all. After staying in Chengping for a period of time, Zhao Yun changed some of his perceptions of Siqi. The bright and lively girl in front of him gradually overlapped with the little girl in his memory.

Liu Biao's Jingzhou is much better than Chengping in terms of location and foundation, but in Zhao Yun's view, it is still not as good as here.

It was only after Zhao Yun entered the city that he learned that Chengping had begun the era of "compulsory education" last year. The government paid for it, and all children of old age, regardless of gender, could go to school.

As for those poor families, the city implements a targeted poverty alleviation policy, not just giving them money, but helping them find the cause of poverty, and try to use the method of imparting skills so that the other party can be self-reliant and get rid of poverty .

In Chengping, no matter how the people's family conditions are or what they do for a living, people can feel that they really like this place, and there are sincere smiles on their faces.

Living and working in peace and contentment is never an empty word here.

Si Qi saw that Zhao Yun stopped in front of a shop full of lanterns hanging in front of the door, as if thinking about something, she also stopped and asked softly: "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Zhao Yun said sincerely, "Master Weng manages well."

Si Qi was praised by Zhao Yun, and he was very happy. He raised his head and smiled brightly at Zhao Yun: "Thank you, General."

Zhao Yundao: "Now that Chengping has stabilized, I have my lord in mind, and I want to choose a day to return, and I hope Lord Weng will allow it."

"You're leaving now..."

After defending the city together for so many days, with Zhao Yun around, Si Qi felt very at ease, and they already had a bit of comrade-in-arms friendship with each other.Hearing that Zhao Yun was leaving, Si Qi felt a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mood.

She thought that people were never stingy, and she couldn't let Liu Bei and Zhao Yunbai do her a favor, so she asked Zhao Yunhui to give him a thank you gift, hoping that both he and Liu Bei would like it.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Yun was invited by Siqi to the study of the palace, and got three kits delivered by Siqi.

Under Si Qi's gesture, Zhao Yun opened the kit.

There is a small card in each kit, with the words "delivery card" written on it.

The first card can be exchanged for 150 catties of black beans and [-] catties of melons and fruits, the second card can be exchanged for [-] war horses and [-] fat sheep, and the third card can be used as free talent for [-] students to study in Chengping for three years training coupons.

Liu Bei is welcome to come and pick up the goods at any time.

This seemingly childish card was full of her sincerity and gratitude, Zhao Yun was moved in his heart: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Weng, these days are in Chengping, thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Weng."

"The general is being polite." Si Qi said, "The general is still following the plan, leaving the city early in the morning?"

"Yes." Zhao Yundao, "Leave early tomorrow morning, Lord Weng cherishes it, there will be a date later."

Zhao Yun left on the front foot, and Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi came back to make peace.

Cao Zhang looked at Si Qi from head to toe twice, and he was relieved when he found that she was safe and sound: "I didn't expect that after several times of Wuhuan siege, you could keep it safe and sound, even my father and a few gentlemen It’s also amazing. Now that the war has been decided, my father asked me to invite you to return to Yecheng quickly. Zijian said that he is most familiar with this area, so I asked him to lead the way to find you.”

It's just that things are in a hurry this time, and they can't do it if they want to play in Chengping for a few more days, so they can only wait for the next time they come to ask Ah Ying to treat them well.

Si Qi asked Cao Zhang curiously, "Why is Sikong looking for me?"

Cao Zhangdao: "Nowadays there is a lot of quarrel in the court. After Ma Chao killed Wuhuan and the Yuan family brothers and captured the three counties of Youzhou, he has no intention of leaving."

Si Qi let out a soft "Hey".

This is also normal. Although Ma Chao initially used the banner of attacking Wuhuan on behalf of the imperial court, when he actually obtained those lands and gained actual control, he was asked to withdraw his troops and hand over these counties to Cao Cao. Easier said than done.

But from Cao Cao's point of view, if Ma Chao occupied the three counties of Youzhou, it would be a great threat to Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou under his rule.

Sure enough, Cao Zhang continued: "Father is extremely unwilling, and now neither side will give in, but...for the stability of the court, Father does not want to use force with Ma Chao again."

In addition to maintaining stability, there is also a very important reason that Cao Cao has fought two consecutive games and defeated Gao Gan, Wuhuan, Yuan Shang, Zhao Du, Huo Nu in one fell swoop... The army's vitality has not yet recovered.

And Ma Chao is not a brother of the Yuan family, he was fought on the battlefield with real swords and guns, and he really has something on his body. It is not a good strategy to confront him head-on at this time.

What's more, Ma Chao mainly used Chengping's army to attack Wuhuan this time, while the Xiliang army was still in good shape and full of vitality. Even if Cao Cao fought Ma Chao, he couldn't say how much he had a chance of winning.

In summary, Cao Cao still wants to sit down and negotiate with Ma Chao, instead of directly using force if he doesn't agree with each other.

Si Qi has basically guessed Cao Cao's appeal: "So?"

Cao Zhangdao: "Father heard that you lent Ma Chao's army, and most of the weapons used to pacify Wuhuan this time were provided by you. As far as this matter is concerned, you have the most right to speak, so Father thinks Please return to Ye City as soon as possible to discuss this matter."

The three-party talks will let this matter have an explanation as soon as possible.
