Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

The idea of ​​drifting bottles is not difficult to realize.

Although Si Qi quickly threw out the drift bottle containing the letter paper according to the idea agreed with Zhao Yun, but she didn't rely on it much in her heart, nor did she hold much hope.

In the vast sea, the bottle is drifting in the sea, and it is really unknown whose hands it will fall into.

Two months later, there was still no news from the Central Plains, and even Liu Yun, who had always been a Buddhist, began to feel anxious.

Liu Yun also began to wonder, it had been four or five months since they left Yuyang, why didn't anyone feel that the incident was too long and something was wrong, so they came to see them?

Obviously Chengping people are very loyal to Si Qi, Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei are also very caring and friendly to Ah Ying, and there is an emperor who misses himself and his little cousin, why is there no news?

Si Qi had a bad premonition. With the uncertain factor of Mu Zhun, and they had been away for such a long time, there might be unexpected changes in the court situation.

When everyone's thinking is occupied by one important thing, it is difficult to consider other things.

When Si Qi was studying Ming history, he liked Zheng He's voyages very much.

Later, when she had the ability to control a state's resources and mature shipbuilding technology, Si Qi couldn't wait to release a group of people.

Si Qi didn't expect them to bring back anything that would be of great use. It would be good to be able to go out and see the world. It would be a pleasant surprise if they could bring back some seeds and spices that are not available in Middle-earth today.

Although they have not waited for a reply from the drifting bottle, they did wait for a ship sailing from Chengzhou to a foreign country in the early morning of early autumn.

This is the last batch of caravans she sent out, and it probably took more than a year to travel abroad before officially returning.

Now the soldiers stranded on the island have built six ships with their own hands, plus the ships brought by the caravan, they can reorganize and set off to go home.

After being stuck here for five or six months, almost everyone was very excited when they thought that they could return to Chengzhou soon, only Si Qi was a little bit unmotivated.

Everyone had waited long enough and didn't want to delay any longer. On the third day after the rescue fleet arrived, the large force had already packed their bags and was ready to set sail.

Because this is a voyage full of hope, even if the life on board is boring, everyone does not feel bored and dull. Instead, they are talking and laughing, and they are in a good mood.

In the early morning of this day, Zhao Yun got up early, put on his clothes and went out, and saw Si Qi standing on the deck watching the sunrise.

She has lost a lot of weight these days, she stands there as a small one, her temple hair is a little disheveled by the sea breeze, and her clothes look extraordinarily thin.

After Zhao Yun went back to the cabin to get the clothes, he folded them back and put them on Si Qi from behind.

Si Qi looked down and saw that it was a cloak of just the right size. The color was fresh and eye-catching, which was very suitable for the sea and the sun.

Si Qi turned his head and smiled at Zhao Yun: "General Zhao came in time, I just felt that it was windy here, and I wanted to go back to my room and put on some clothes."

Coincidentally, he came to give her a cloak, and it was a very beautiful cloak.

Zhao Yun also laughed: "If I don't send you a cloak, I'm afraid you will always remember that time in the mountains with a sheepskin mattress."

She mentioned this matter a lot later, and after all, she still cared about it.

"I know the general had good intentions at that time." Si Qi said, "So what I remember is also the general's good intentions."

After the two chatted for a few more words, Zhao Yun saw that Si Qi's face finally looked better, and couldn't help but care about her: "What's on your mind recently, Mr. Weng?"

Why so gloomy?

Si Qi sighed softly, and said: "I'm not sure, I just have a very bad feeling. I met Moo Zhun when I went to Yecheng, and I think he is definitely not a simple person. Regardless of Wuhuan's The matter is still this time, it happens to be related to the Huns, I always feel that something is not good..."

In Zhao Yun's impression, Si Qi has always been cheerful, confident, confident, and full of sunshine in everything he does. It is rare to see her so fragile.

Zhao Yun subconsciously softened his voice: "It's okay, don't worry. There are three prime ministers, General Liu and General Sun in the imperial court, so there will be no confusion."

It turns out that what Si Qi was worried about was not wrong.

When she just arrived in Yuyang, she found that Moo Zhun had already taken action.

The Xiongnu's fighting style has always been steady and ruthless. Muzhun went south from Yunzhong County in Chengzhou, tore a hole, led a large group of cavalry to attack the city, and inserted it like a wedge.

Si Qi felt that something was wrong.

According to Chengping's current military strength, it would not be so fast to fight from north to south like this.

Although the Huns have been developing under the leadership of Mozhun in recent years, the right time, place and people are not good, and the speed is naturally not as good as Chengping.

How did Mu Zhun do it?

Xun Yu and Guo Jia stayed in Chengping due to health reasons. As soon as they heard that Si Qi was back, they brought Chen Xing to discuss countermeasures.

Si Qi first talked about his experience on the island with everyone these days, and then asked about his uncle's current situation.

Xun Yu said that one of the reasons why the opponent was able to attack the city so smoothly was that the opponent, like Cheng Ping, had both gunpowder and artillery.

But Si Qi also knows that artillery is not omnipotent, and the production capacity is very limited in this era, and it is impossible to produce gunpowder that can dominate the entire Middle-earth.

The Southern Song Dynasty also had a large number of artillery, which were also used in military warfare, but they were finally wiped out by Mongolia.

At this time of war, advanced weapons are of course important, but in the end it is still human.

Unless the opponent has their unexpected cards.

Guo Jia also said that because Zhou He and Zhou Ke went out to sea with Ah Ying to fight and were not in the city, their artillery was not strong enough, but the opponent launched a fierce offensive with artillery, which led to the fall of Yunzhong County.

Chen Xing also said that the other party had planted their own people in many areas of the Central Plains in the early years, and they were activated as soon as the war broke out, so the current situation is not in our favor.

Xun Yu finally added that the opponent's weapons are more advanced than ours, and there is also a weapon that can be filled with gunpowder on the body, called a bird gun.Although not many in number, they are very powerful.

Si Qi never expected that the opponent not only had cannons, but also bird guns.

Compared with artillery and gunpowder, bird guns are even more rare. If it is not for professionals engaged in military industry, it is impossible to create bird guns in this environment.

The opponent is either a professional, or has other channels to obtain these advanced weapons.

A formidable enemy indeed.

After sending the gentlemen away, Si Qi immediately found Cai Wenji and asked about Mo Zhun, wanting to know more about this person.

Cai Wenji said, although this person looks inconspicuous, he has a very special ruthlessness about him.

He is obviously not favored compared to other princes, but he seems to be very rich and has bought a lot of people outside, but everyone never knows where he got the money from and whether there is any problem.

Mu Zhun's brothers fought fiercely for the throne, and often complained to their elders, but they never found any substantive evidence. Instead, Mu Zhun showed his face in front of the old Khan King and earned a fortune. wave impression points.

Two days later, Zhou Buyu brought the latest news from his partners in Ye City.

It is said that Wood Zhun did not go to war with the Central Plains at the beginning, but wanted to unite with Liu Bei and take down Cao Cao first.

Liu Bei didn't give Mu Zhun any response.

In Liu Bei's mind, he and Cao Cao were able to compete in the world because they were equal heroes, but Muzhun, an unknown pawn who came out of nowhere, was still a different kind, why did he join forces with him to fight against his own people?

If he complied, he might be ridiculed by the heroes of the world.

While writing a letter to Liu Bei, Mu Zhun sent an envoy to Jiangdong to unite with Sun Quan, saying that he could help him destroy Liu Bei and regain his Jingzhou, hoping that the other party could unite with him to do things.

Sun Quan had been in Jiangdong all along, and he was not familiar with the Xiongnu, and he had no interest in the alliance with Mu Zhun.

Besides, I heard that Cao Cao recently wanted to punish the Huns. The gap between Jiangdong and Yecheng has just been eliminated, and they have entered the honeymoon period. Cao Cao also accepted his surrender. The aliens from other tribes united to provoke him?

Of course it can't be done.

Muzhun did not hear back from Liu Bei's Sun Quan for a long time, and sent envoys to Yecheng, wanting to work together with Cao Cao and Cao Pi, saying that he could find a way to get the emperor Liu Xie down, so that Cao Cao could become a righteous emperor, and never again Subdued under Liu Xie.

Cao Cao wondered if this man had some serious illness. He is not the emperor now, not because his strength does not allow it, but because he has to consider influence and many other factors, and he wants to give face to the Han Dynasty.

Besides, with his current strength, if he and his son want to be emperors, they can do so directly. Does he still need the help of a nobody like Mo Zhun?

This is simply an insult to myself!

After Mu Zhun heard the reply from the three parties, he was so angry that he threw the table down.

Obviously he has already reached his current status, but facing these big shots, the feeling of being disliked and looked down upon by others has returned, and this is the most unacceptable thing for him.

Since these people are so ignorant and unable to see his advantages and strength clearly, then he doesn't need to talk nonsense with them, just go to war directly.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan are now very unhappy because of Jingzhou, and they are almost about to start a fight.

But as soon as he heard that Chengzhou had suffered a change, Mu Zhun not only took down Yunzhong County in Chengzhou, but also sent troops southward, leading troops into the hinterland of the Central Plains. They all stopped confrontation and began to pay close attention to this matter.

It is said that Muzhun is very cruel, he will use any means to achieve his goals, treat heroes harshly, and has the experience of massacring cities before.

Everyone is very worried about the situation of Siqi and Chengzhou.

But Si Qi found that Muzhun's offensive route was very strange, neither the most labor-saving, nor the route that could obtain more resources and convenience.

Si Qi concluded by analyzing the map that Mu Zhun didn't want to confront Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others, but pointed directly at Xu Chang and Liu Xie. It can be seen that he knows how to avoid their edge, but he is indeed ambitious.

Si Qi thought for a while, and decided to unite the three parties to drive Mu Zhun out of the Central Plains.

Get rid of this outsider first, and then close the door to deal with family affairs.

The venue chosen by Si Qi for the tripartite meeting was in Xuchang. Liu Yun came forward to coordinate the preparations, and Emperor Liu Xie personally presided over the meeting.

Liu Xie did not expect that in his lifetime, he would have such a face-saving time and be able to host the meeting of the three giants.

Speaking of it, it was all due to Ah Ying's face, and he really didn't hurt this little sister.

Seeing the excited look of the emperor, Si Qi asked someone to make several sets of clothes for this meeting, but he couldn't choose which one to wear that day, so he couldn't help but smiled at Liu Xie: "Can you invite people to return the clothes?" Not necessarily, Your Majesty should not expect too much."

"They won't come!" Liu Xie said disappointedly, "They all like you so much, why haven't you invited me yet?"

There has always been a folk saying that "the king does not see the king". Moreover, the three families are deadly rivals and are very wary of each other.

After all, Xuchang is now Cao Cao's sphere of influence. It doesn't matter if Liu Bei and Sun Quan don't want to come in person, as long as they send representatives to come and negotiate the matter.

Si Qi expected well. Among the three big bosses who were invited, except for Cao Cao who brought Cao Pi and Sima Yi to the banquet, the other two sent representatives to negotiate.

Liu Bei sent Pang Tong, and Sun Quan sent Lu Xun, both of whom were Siqi's acquaintances.

Having acquaintances is easy to handle, everyone sat down to discuss and study the Huns' invasion.

Now that the opponent has various fresh weapons such as artillery, in order not to make unnecessary sacrifices, and in order to be able to better counter the enemy, we still have to think together and use the artillery stored in Chengzhou. When fighting against the opponent, the chances of winning will be greater bigger.

Now Muzhun's combat base, Yunzhong County, is adjacent to Chengping. In this way, it is indeed the most efficient to send troops to attack from Chengping. Everyone contributes to Chengping to help Siqi fight, and strives to drive away the invasion in the shortest possible time. Those who minimize the loss of the court and the people.

After everyone signed the agreement, Cao Cao invited everyone to drink and chat at the star observatory. The chat and laughter were the same as usual, and he didn't take the threat of Mu Zhun seriously.

Siqi's mentality was also improved by Boss Cao.

Sure enough, it was the least cost-effective to choose to invade the Central Plains during the Three Kingdoms period. Several big brothers would definitely join forces to repel the invaders first, and then consider other things.
