Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

On the opposite side is the pitch-black Huarong City, and not far away is the bottomless swamp. When he saw Ah Ying walking out of the flames, Cao Cao suddenly had a hope of rescuing himself from a desperate situation.

I remember that before this expedition, Ah Ying followed Liu Yun to see them off.At that time, when I saw her, I was a little bit uneasy, neither gave her any eyes nor said anything to her.

At this moment when they met in this situation, Cao Cao felt that Ah Ying was full of intimacy with "one of his own people", and the unpleasantness in the past disappeared.

Cao Cao even began to reflect, if he could have trusted Ah Ying more and considered what she said seriously, would the ending be better now?

But introspection is self-reflection. Even in today's situation, Cao Cao still feels that if time goes back to a year ago and he is asked to choose again, he will definitely work harder to train the navy and launch with greater confidence. This war, rather than choosing to stall because of the fear of failure.

Regardless of success or failure for the time being, this matter can only be resolved after a real trial.

But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more.

Thousands of words were stuck in my heart, I didn't know which sentence to say first, but I just came together to say a simple greeting: "Aying..."

It's inconvenient to salute here, so Si Qi just bowed to Cao Cao immediately: "Aying has met the prime minister. The terrain here is special, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time. There are pursuers behind and swamps in front. Fortunately, there are no unparalleled roads, Hua Rong There is still a road in the west of the city that can be barely passed. I have sent people to repair the road that can pass soldiers and horses, and it can directly lead to Xiangyang City. Please come with me, Prime Minister."

Cao Cao looked around and saw that Siqi brought quite a few people this time, but most of them were her own soldiers rather than Jingzhou city guards, and Liu Yun was not seen among them, so he couldn't help asking Siqi: "Your father?" Is King Li still safe?"

Si Qi said: "General Zhen escorted me here. My father said that he trusted the general, so he stayed in Xiangyang City and waited for the prime minister to arrive. After fighting for so many days, I think there were many casualties among the soldiers. My father was here in the past two days. A large amount of medicinal materials have been purchased in Xiangyang City, and many doctors have also been summoned, just waiting for me to take the prime minister back to the city."

Speaking of this, Si Qi smiled at Cao Cao: "Fortunately, Ah Ying is here to wait for the prime minister."

Si Qi has always been thoughtful in his work, Cao Cao felt warm, and ordered Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others beside him to lead the team to follow up, bypass the swamp to the road Si Qi built, and turn from Huarong County to Xiangyang City.

As long as Cao Cao can escape at this time, it means that he will make a comeback in the future. Even if he can't unify the world, it is still no problem to lead Jiangbei.

Liu Yun has always been very discerning. Hearing that Ah Ying was going to pick up Cao Cao, he gave up the best room in the house early in the morning.

Because Siqi had made sufficient preparations before, their journey back to Xiangyang from Huarong County was smooth.

After staying in Jingzhou Jingyuan, Cao Cao really settled down in his heart. Recalling that he fled in embarrassment a few days ago, it was as if he had lived in two lifetimes.

Liu Yun's ability to be a human being has always been full. Although he had some unpleasant quarrels with Cao Cao before, he was sent to Jingzhou this time.But those things have now been overturned, Liu Yun no longer cares about it, not only gets along with Cao Cao as before, but also shows a lot of care without any trace, making Cao Cao live very comfortably.

The soldiers got sick and injured quite a lot, the herbal medicine Si Qi asked Liu Yun to buy early in the morning and the doctor he invited all came in handy.

At this time, Cao Cao had to sigh, no matter whether Ah Ying persuaded him at the beginning or saved him this time, he was thinking about his performance, but unfortunately he didn't think so much at that time, and even sent a message to Ah Ying. Fire, really should not be.

After two days of recuperation, Cao Cao finally regained some vitality, and was willing to go out of the room to relax outside.

In the early morning of this day, Cao Cao went out to relax and met Si Qi.

Seeing that each of Siqi's maidservants carried a big white porcelain pot, which was different from what he usually saw, and seemed to be fired by himself, Cao Cao felt novel: "Ah Ying, what are you going to do?" ?”

Si Qi said: "Seeing that the weather is fine today, I went out to collect some dew and went back to make tea."

Cao Cao sighed: "You are very elegant."

Si Qi said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that I want to drink it. I made tea with dew on the spur of the moment. My father agreed. I'm an ordinary person, and I can't taste it, but I can't stand my father talking about it. When I have time, I help him collect some dew to make tea and entertain guests."

Cao Cao smiled.

In fact, he was the same as Si Qi, he couldn't taste the benefits of tea made with dew, but Si Qi said that he was a vulgar person, so he followed suit, making him seem a bit vulgar, so he turned around and said: "Zi Before it was built, people often sent people to collect dew to make tea, saying that it tastes good, even if it comes from the same branches and leaves, the taste is different in every season.”

After all, what he was facing was a girl who was only 15 years old. At this time, he could only use his son for diplomacy.

Si Qi said: "Zijian also sent me a letter last month, saying that he is doing well in Chengzhou, and the prime minister need not worry. He also said in the letter that he has been very worried about you. When you return to Yecheng, When he gets the news, he will go to Yecheng to meet you if he thinks about it."

Cao Cao was experiencing a huge physical and mental blow at this time, and the care of the children was the best placebo.

I don't know if Cao Zhi has received the news, but she wants to write to Cao Zhi as soon as possible, asking him to return to Yecheng quickly, and it would be good to earn more impression points.

"Zijian is a real kid." Cao Cao smiled comfortably, "How did Ah Ying know that Gu would go to Huarong City, and she was ready to meet him?"

If Ah Ying hadn't explored and repaired the road in advance, and had prepared enough herbs and medical officers, more people would have been killed or injured this time, and it was even a question of whether he could return to Xiangyang alive.

Siqi felt that compared to other Han families, Cao Cao had always been kind to his family. This time, in order to meet Cao Cao, he built roads in advance and invited doctors. In addition to the safety of Boss Cao, he also wanted to save one more soldier. Save one more, don't make unnecessary sacrifices.

After all, the battlefield is already suffering enough, and it is a blessing to be able to retreat from the battlefield, so naturally, you can pull it as long as you can.

Si Qi said: "I looked at the map, and I think this road is the most suitable for you and the generals to retreat back to the city. The prime minister is a smart man, and all the generals have experienced many battles. They must understand better than me, so So I chose Huarong City to take a gamble, and arrange everything in advance to meet the prime minister, so that we can feel at ease."

Speaking of this, Si Qi smiled at Cao Cao: "Mr. Guo taught me all these things. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, Prime Minister, for your help to be able to successfully apprentice."

Seeing her smiling up to the rising sun, Cao Cao felt that she was extraordinarily bright and charming.

In the past, she was always treated as a child, but now she looks so beautiful.

Aying's father is the leader of the clan, and his mother is from the Xun family, and is Xun Yu's younger sister. Aying herself is intelligent, alert, decisive and capable of action. She can predict the situation before the war, respond in time during the war, and A state is well-governed, even if she is not in Chengping, the people still think that she is the only king.

Such a girl is simply perfect.

Cao Cao secretly sighed in his heart, how wonderful it would be if this was his daughter-in-law.

It's just that his sons were not up to par one by one, and none of them were able to win Ah Ying.

What a pity.

This time, Ah Ying made careful arrangements to save him from fire and water, and saved the lives of many soldiers. Cao Cao thought of Si Qi's goodness in his heart, and secretly made up his mind. After returning to the city, he must discuss with Liu Xie and give her A great reward is worthy of her friendship to rescue her in times of crisis.

Jingzhou is a battleground for military strategists. After Cao Cao withdrew his troops, he led people to repair in Xiangyang City, while Liu Bei and Sun Quan marched one after another and took down the counties.

In the end, Cao Cao lost most of Jingzhou's control, leaving only Nanyang County and Jiangxia County north of the Yangtze River. The remaining Changsha and other counties in Jingzhou were divided between Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Liu Yun felt quite embarrassed. He came to garrison Jingzhou. Now that Jingzhou has fallen, there are only two counties left under the control of the imperial court. It seems that there is no need to garrison.

Liu Yun was placed in Jingzhou by Cao Cao, but before Cao Cao left, he still did not let him leave.

At this time, the situation in Jingzhou was too complicated after all, and sending newcomers over might not be able to suppress it. It would be better to have a prestigious clan like Liu Yun sit in charge.

Because Si Qi made great contributions in helping the army retreat and treat the soldiers this time. After Cao Cao spoke, Liu Yun also had some actual control over Jingzhou.

Before Cao Cao left, he hinted to Liu Yun that the war has ended and peace is the most important thing. Liu Yun is in a special geographical location in Jingzhou, so he can try to establish a good relationship with both Liu Bei and Sun Quan. If he learns about their new trends, Report to the court in time.

Boss Cao was a little vague. According to Si Qi's analysis, although Cao Cao failed this time and returned to Yecheng, he was a little unwilling. He hoped that the two coalition forces would fight because of the uneven division of the city, so that his position would be more stable. That's why Liu Yun was left on the front line of eating melons, and whenever there was any new news, he would be notified in time.

Sure enough, the prime minister is also a mortal, and he also has a heart to eat melons.

Regardless of the reason behind it, this order is a very good thing for Liu Yun. Liu Yun can finally get along with Liu Bei in a fair and honest way, without avoiding people, and without worrying about Cao Cao being unhappy, because of this incident. Go find him trouble.

After sending Cao Cao away, it was the 15th year of Jian'an New Year in a blink of an eye.

Si Qi never imagined that after she came to this world, she would spend a new year in Jingzhou.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, an unexpected guest came to the house——

Lu Su.

Lu Su just came back from giving Liu Bei a New Year's gift, and this time he came to give a New Year's gift to King Li according to Sun Quan's order.

Snow in Jingzhou is not as common as winter in the north, but on the day when Lu Su came to Xiangyang, there were snowflakes in the sky early in the morning, and Lu Su came here on the snowflakes dancing in the sky.

Lu Su is the most powerful adviser under Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Although he has never met him, he has always been one of Liu Yun's admired advisers.

When everyone in Jiangdong wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, Lu Su had always supported Sun Quan in rebelling against Cao Cao, so he was highly regarded by Sun Quan. Later, he single-handedly contributed to the alliance with Liu against Cao Cao. The victory of this battle also showed his ideas The correctness of Sun Quan also made Sun Quan more dependent on him.

This time, Sun Quan sent Lu Su to Jingzhou Jingyuan to send the New Year gift, which was equivalent to raising Liu Yun to the same level as his ally Liu Bei, and it also gave Liu Yun enough face.

Accompanying Lu Su was a young general, surnamed Ling, named Tong. He was tall and strong, with the heroic spirit and sharpness that a young man should have in his brows and eyes. He looked like a general with a lot of personality.

Liu Yun has always been skilled in dealing with people, so he welcomed Lu Su and Lu Su to the flower hall, and had tea and chat with them.

Lu Su was a bit defensive at the beginning, and Ling Tong was also very reserved, but under Liu Yun's hospitality, they turned into closeness after a while.

After seeing off Lu Su and Ling Tong, Liu Yun was very happy, and told Si Qi that a happy event might happen.

Si Qiqi said: "What happy event?"

Hearing from Lu Su, Sun Quan took the initiative and betrothed his younger sister Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei. If everything goes well, it will be a good thing.

Si Qi: ...

What a surprise.

And seeing Liu Yun's excitement now, he was about to go over to congratulate and watch the ceremony.

After all, Liu Yun has long yearned for the advisers around Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei's advisers are gradually growing, including Pang Tong, Fazheng, and his favorite Zhuge Kongming...
