Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

When Liu Yun arrived in the field, he forgot the time, and did not keep the promise that he would come back to have dinner with Siqi at noon, and did not come back from the field with Zhao Yun until the evening.

Ma Chao has been riding a horse all the way, eating and sleeping in the open air is the norm, even if he is a general, he will be tired.He only had a light meal at noon and then went to rest. After returning to his room for a rest, he felt even relieved of fatigue, and in the evening it was time for energy.

Liu Yun was also delighted to see Ma Chao. Although he was wary of Ma Chao and didn't want Siqi to marry Liangzhou, but aside from this reason, he still liked and recognized the son of Ma Teng's family from the bottom of his heart, especially when he learned that After Ma Chao didn't want to give the counties he got to Cao Cao, but was willing to hand them over to Si Qi, Ma Chao was the best young man in Liu Yun's heart.

Si Qi had ordered the kitchen to be ready, and when he heard that Liu Yun and Zhao Yun had returned, he ordered food to be served, and when they arrived at the flower hall, the food had already been served.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun are old acquaintances. They have known each other since the eighteenth princes crusade against Dong Zhuo.And Liu Yun also followed Yuan Shao to fight against Dong Zhuo at that time, and it was also at that time that he met Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

The three of them can be regarded as the friendship of carrying guns together, and they began to "think about the past" while eating.

Said it was a flick of a finger, obviously so many years have passed, but the events of that year are almost as if they are in front of our eyes.

Si Qi could also understand their excitement after talking about the previous crusade against Dong Zhuo.

After all, now that the princes are divided, Ma Teng is one, Cao Cao is one, Liu Bei is one, Sun Quan is also one, and Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others in the past are also counted as one.

Everyone is doing their own thing now, and the princes are fighting in a melee. The grand scene when they fought against Dong Zhuo together with the enemy is no longer there.

The three people here now belong to three different teams, and the bosses of each team also have some subtle and unclear relationships with each other. At this time, it is not good to sit together and scold anyone. If you offend someone, it would be more politically correct to talk about scolding Dong Zhuo for being an asshole.

The crusade against Dong Zhuo is too long ago. No matter how good Si Qi's memory is, it is impossible to remember the things before he was born. The three people at the table are reminiscing about the past, and Si Qi is sitting on the sidelines, so he can't fit in and can't get in the conversation. After dinner, he withdrew from the table and left, leaving the home court to these three men, and went outside to watch the moon by himself.

Luo Shi brought the two cooks from the kitchen over to add food, seeing Si Qi sitting on the railing outside to watch the moon, he felt a little strange: "Why doesn't the Lord come in and accompany the guests?"

Si Qi said: "The two generals were talking with my father about the campaign against Dong Zhuo in the past. I didn't have a chance to speak, so I simply gave them the table and came out to look at the moon."

Roche: ...

What happened to these two generals?

Such a good-looking Weng Lord doesn't like not to find more topics to chat with, what to talk about with Li Wang, a big man in his 30s.

It's really a little too unreasonable.

Liu Yun drank too much that night, and stayed in his room the next day without getting up.

But the two generals were different. When Si Qi finished grooming and went out for morning exercises, the two generals had already put on their clothes and finished their morning exercises.

Ma Chao brought a kind of baijiu from the Xiliang Army Horse Farm, which is said to be very strong.Although Cao Cao promulgated a ban on alcohol, Ma Chao is from Xiliang and Zhao Yun is from Wuling, neither of which is under Cao Cao's jurisdiction.

And Liu Yun thought that since Ma Chao brought the spirits, neither made nor bought by himself, it would be fine to accompany the guests to drink a few sips of this liquor from Liangzhou.

The three of them talked happily about the wine, so they inevitably drank a little more.

I heard that Liu Yun drank the least last night, Zhao Yun the most, and Ma Chao next, but the next morning, both generals were alive and well, and her father probably slept until noon.

Although there was a difference in age, it was only a teenager's distance. Sure enough, the leader of the army was stronger. Liu Yun was either in the yamen or fishing for a long time, so he should be taken with him when he got up in the morning for morning exercises.

In the afternoon of this day, Si Qi and Zhao Yun sent Ma Chao off together.

Zhao Yun has been in Xiangyang for a long time, and Liu Bei also transferred to Wuling early in the morning.

Recently, there have been frequent battle reports. As soon as Cao Cao came up, he was full of momentum. He led a large army to station in Hefei, sent troops to Chaohu, and broke through Juchao.

But Cao Jun is still an outsider after all, he is used to land battles but not water battles. Although he had several beautiful battles, he lost more than he won. Unaccustomed to the environment and infected with the epidemic, the right time, place and people are the same, so they can only be passively beaten.

Siqi heard that after Cao Cao's letter declaring war against Sun Quan reached Jiangdong, many officials in Jiangdong believed that the strength of the two sides was very different. Negotiate the conditions to strive for the greatest benefit.

At that time, only Lu Su and Sun Quan fought hard, and later Zhou Yu supported them.It is estimated that Sun Quan didn't have much confidence at the beginning, but later he became more and more handy.

Liu Bei's side was better. Only soldiers were sent out, not generals, and the command power was handed over to Sun Quan.

This battle was somewhat similar to the one they fought against Wuhuan. Siqi was the leader, and Ma Chao was in command, but in that battle, her troops, food and weapons dominated.

But Si Qi was still worried about Liu Bei's employment, afraid that he would cause some inconvenience if he stayed with Zhao Yun for too long, so he asked Zhao Yun when he would go back.

Zhao Yundao, I received a letter from my lord a few days ago. In the letter, my lord said that although he is in Wuling, he has been very worried about the safety of His Royal Highness King Li. Please let me stay here for a while until King Li really settles down. , you can leave after everything is sorted out.

Just as Si Qi thought, there was really nothing important about Liu Bei's side.

This time he joined forces with Jiangdong to fight against Cao Cao. Apart from his soldiers, the resources he provided to Jiangdong were Zhuge Kongming, his most respected and caring husband.In this joint operation, it was mainly Sun Quan who sent out generals to command the battle.

Liu Bei thought, anyway, he is safe now and doesn't need Zhao Yun's guards, and Zhao Yun's stay with Liu Yun is also good. If he stays for a while longer to earn some impression points, he may gain even more in the future.

After all, his eldest niece, Aying, is now the overlord of Chengzhou, the kind that even Cao Cao would not easily turn against her. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he can't miss being close to Yang An and Aying.

At this time, keeping Zhao Yun in Jingzhou is considered to be the best use of everything.

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Si Qi couldn't help feeling a little better towards Liu Bei.

After all, this was once Liu Biao's territory. They were not familiar with the place where they lived, and Liu Biao and Liu Yun didn't get along well later on. Si Qi did have some concerns.

Every time Zhao Yun and Liu Yun go out together, she feels very at ease in her heart.

Liu Bei always told Liu Yun about lovesickness in the letter. Si Qi originally thought that these were just some exaggerated words, but he didn't want Liu Bei to really treat his father as a serious relative.

Sure enough, my father was right, Liu Bei is really a kind person!

The situation of the battle changed rapidly. After entering the twelfth lunar month, Cao Ren was trapped in Jiangling, Cao Cao was forced to withdraw his troops, and was defeated across the board.

After Liu Yun heard the battle report, he was too shocked to speak for a while.

I didn't expect to see the ending like this, but the ending was that Cao Cao, who was sitting on a heavy army, was completely defeated, and he was defeated so thoroughly.

Liu Bei should have heard the news early on, and he hurriedly called Zhao Yun back to the city as soon as the twelfth lunar month entered.

When Si Qi got the news, he was half a beat behind Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others, but when he heard that Cao Cao had fled to the west in a panic, Si Qi realized that it should be the time when the Huarong Road incident happened.

According to Luo Guanzhong's description in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after Cao Cao was defeated, he took several generals and a group of people and fled to a place called Huarong Road. Mr. Zhuge sent three fierce generals under Liu Bei to ambush Cao Cao. Cao Cao smiled Zilong is born, Yide is born with the second smile, and Guan Yunchang is born with the third smile.

But in fact, the story of "Huarong Dao Guan Yu releases Cao Cao" is just a fabrication. It is a plot written by Luo Guanzhong to highlight Mr. Zhuge's ingenious calculations. In fact, it probably does not exist after research by historians.

The place where Cao Cao fled to the west really passed was also Huarong City, not Huarong Road.

But it was not easy for Cao Cao to pass through this Huarong County. There were many swamps on the road where he was going to escape.

Although Cao Cao escaped smoothly in the end, Si Qi was also very worried that an accident would happen. After all, there is still a gap between the world she lives in and the Three Kingdoms in history, and no one can guarantee which will come first tomorrow or the accident.

Si Qi went to the study to open the map, and carefully looked at the terrain of Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

After Siqi's analysis, if Cao Cao wanted to return to Xiangyang in his sphere of influence, he would always pass through the vicinity of Huarong County.

After Siqi sent people to explore the road that night, he learned that there was a half-repaired path not far from the swamp outside Huarong County. Hundreds of times better than walking through swamps.

Si Qi got up before dawn, sent people to recruit craftsmen, and repaired the road that could allow the army to pass as quickly as possible.

Liu Yun also heard Si Qi's actions and felt strange, so he asked her why she did this.

Si Qi said, if the prime minister wants to retreat back to the city, there is a high probability that he will go to Huarong County. I want to take someone to meet him.

Huarong County is close to the combat zone. Liu Yun was worried that something might happen, so he said to Si Qi, "I don't have many people to mobilize now. Most of them are government soldiers. There are only more than 300 people in total. If we go rashly like this, there will be a lot of trouble." Wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Although their family has no deep hatred with Liu Xuande and Sun Zhongmou's family, and the relationship is even acceptable, the generals leading the troops below do not recognize them, and it is not impossible to treat them as enemy troops at that time.

Si Qi is also worried about this issue, her own safety is safe, there is such a big family behind Liu Yun, if something really happens, the Zhang family and two elder brothers who stayed in Xuchang will really be at the mercy of others.

When Si Qi was worried about this matter, A Fei came to report quickly, and Mr. Zhen came.

Maybe it's because it's been a long time, when Si Qi saw Zhen Shu again, he felt that the other party looked better than when they parted last time.

Zhen Shu was overjoyed to see Si Qi, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time. The Lord Weng seems to have grown taller and more radiant than before. within reach.

Si Qi took care of Zhen Shu and sat down in the study. Zhen Shu and Si Qi exchanged simple greetings and explained their intentions.

Ever since the lord came to Jingzhou with King Li, they have been worrying about her in Chengzhou.Now that he heard that the flames of war had reached Jingzhou, he was worried about the safety of the lord, so he discussed with Chen Xing, Zhou Buyi and Huo Qiulan, and asked Zhen Shu to bring 5000 people to Jingzhou to protect the lord, to see if they could do anything Where it helps.

This was a surprise, Si Qi's most difficult problem was solved in an instant.

Even Liu Yun couldn't help sighing in his heart. Although he is the governor of Jingzhou appointed by the imperial court, he is essentially useless, and he can't control the transfer of people and horses. Sure enough, he still has the fiefdom and manpower that obey his orders like Si Qi. OK!

After all the arrangements were made, Si Qi brought someone to greet him, hoping to meet Boss Cao smoothly and bring him back to Xiangyang.

Cao Cao has been living smoothly since he entered the political arena, especially since the first year of Jian'an, no matter whether it is a big battle or a small battle, he basically ended in victory. Even the battle of Guandu, which seemed to have almost no chance of winning, was a big victory. Total victory.

In the past ten years, Cao Cao has never been so embarrassed and hesitant. Only now did he truly understand what it means to be defeated like a mountain.

The road to escape was extremely long, and Cao Cao felt extremely tired.

Remembering that when he was about to leave, he went to bid farewell to her in Bian's room in the main courtyard. Bian's face was full of sorrow, and she couldn't help but persuade her: "The prime minister is now in charge of the army in the court, and he is the head of all officials. Above. Compared with the previous days, this is already a happy life that I can't even imagine. The prime minister has earned such a large family business, and he has already achieved great success and is famous in history. Why should he be in such a hurry? ?”

At that time, he only felt that the Bian family was a housewife and Taoist family after all, and that the structure was not enough. Now he just unified the north and became the prime minister, and he was satisfied, and he didn't think that his husband might have greater achievements.

Looking at it now, the ex-wife's words of persuasion are also reasonable. He is not too young now. After so many years of fighting in the north and south, he has earned so much business, what else is he fussing about?

When the army marched to Huarong County, the soldiers who explored the road came to report that if they wanted to turn over from outside the city to the boundary of Xiangyang, they might have to pass through a muddy swamp.

Cao Cao felt the real despair at this time.

Just as he was hesitating how to pass the barrier, there was a sound of horseshoes not far away, and the brigade rushed here with torches.

Cao Cao was shocked, stopped his horse, and looked north.

After a while the team marched up to them.

With the light of the fire, Cao Cao could clearly see the face of the girl in red, Xiuyan.

It was Ah Ying.
