[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Don't Xia Anran know?This time he really knows.

It is precisely because he knew that he said that he had brought Pang Tong over and tied him to Cao Cao's ship early. Of course, the main reason was that he was going to die if no one helped him!For employing child labor, Xia Anran didn't feel any guilt at all.

He is currently busy with military affairs during the day, and at night he goes to Guo Jia to tell him about the situation of the Western Expedition. When Sun Jian and Cao Cao exchanged letters, Xia Anran suddenly showed interest, but Guo Jia was not too busy. He said slowly, "Sun Jian is a hero."

"Unfortunately."

"Fortunate life is short."

Xia Anran, who fanned others attentively, widened her eyes, "Why did Feng Xiao say that?"

He was a little stunned. Guo Jia, this person, has a name in the population of descendants, called the No. [-] Poisonous Milk of the Three Kingdoms.

He was able to nurse Sun Ce to death thousands of miles away, and now, now he has nursed Sun Ce and his father Sun Jian again. The key point is that Sun Jian does not have long to live. Xia Anran knows this, but he doesn't know why Guo Jia can know it!

He endured it, holding back the phrase "The pagoda suppresses the river demon".

However, the [-]-year-old Guo Jia was obviously showing off, he explained in a low voice, "Sun Jian took something that shouldn't be taken."

Xia Anran knows this, Chuan Guo Yuxi!

It is rumored that Sun Jian fished out the jade seal of Chuanguo from the well. It is said in "Romance" that after Sun Jian got the jade seal, he tore up the covenant and wanted to return to his hometown to become king on his own, but he was hunted down by "righteous men" on the way.

After he got the jade seal, he handed it over to his wife for safekeeping. He was still on the front line of fighting against Dong. As for why he hid the jade seal, the reason is very simple.The emperor is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo wants this seal.

Although Yuan Shu was his boss, he repeatedly withheld his military rations and did not serve the country wholeheartedly. The same was true of his elder brother Yuan Shao.In this way, he has no one to give to him, so he can only keep it for himself, and maybe he wants to use this to build another team.

But this matter was revealed after the fact, how did Guo Jia know?

Guo Fengxiao pointed to the fan to signal him not to stop, and said leisurely, "Sun Wentai was born as a military general, and he can't hide things on his face. My lord must feel wrong about this, but Jia should be more bold, but it's all guesswork. .”

He waved his hand to signal that we will not talk about this. What about Sun Jian is a matter for the future. The key now is to raise food and grass, and Cao Cao must have a place where he can be stationed. It is not a problem to stay here all the time.

When Cao Jun was busy with the autumn harvest, news came that Yuan Shu and Liu Biao were fighting.

The two are both vassals, and they officially sent troops to attack each other?

This news made the hearts of many warlords tense, and soon after, the news of the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan also spread. Cao Cao was in the middle of the two armies, and the news was relatively well-informed, and what was going on would be sorted out soon.

It turned out that Yuan Shu ordered Sun Jian to be the governor of Yuzhou and stationed troops in Yangcheng. When Sun Jian sent troops, Yuan Shao appointed Zhou Ang as the governor of Yuzhou. Zhou Ang sent troops to attack Yangcheng, just in time to kill Gongsun Zan who was sent by Yuan Shu to help. younger brother.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Shao sent people to stir up the relationship between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. As a result, Yuan Shu was fooled and sent troops to attack Liu Biao first, instead of attacking Yuan Shao with the North-South alliance as an excuse. Even so, a battle with Gongsun Zan was inevitable.

Yuan Shao has already come to Cao Cao for help. If someone wants to fight the leader, Cao Cao will naturally go north to help. What's more, although Yuan Shao did not do it properly, it is strictly true. At the critical moment, the Eastern Han Dynasty could be elected by local tyrants Officials, and the Yuan family can be regarded as a powerful man in Yuzhou, but the younger brother recommended Sun Jian, and the older brother recommended another person. As for who will get in... Either the two of them will discuss it, or they will fight.

Obviously, the two chose to fight. Who knows why this arrow has no eyes.

What's more, it's not that Yuan Shao didn't give your Gongsun family face. There is no father and son in the battlefield. Your brother helped others and was killed by mistake. Isn't it inappropriate to blame Yuan Shao for this?

What's more, there is another reason, that is, the person recommended by Yuan Shao is also an old acquaintance of Cao Cao.

When both parents-in-law are reasonable, it is more or less necessary to play the emotional card. Obviously Cao Cao is on the side of the little friend.

It was much easier to send troops to Cao Jun this time. Yuan Shao, who is rich and powerful, said that it is fine for you to come, and I will pay for it.

And I promise generously that I will not only pay you brother, but you can take the seized supplies brother first!Take it as Shao's gratitude to his brothers!

Cao Jun... With a mentality of eating a big family, he left the camp.

Xia Anran didn't follow, Cao Cao gave him a task.

Cao Jun's [-] acres of land and [-] plays are now under Xia Anran's management, and this time Xun Yu will delegate full power to him.

By the time Cao Cao heard the news again, it was already in the spring of 191. Because he helped Yuan Shao repel Gongsun Zan's allied forces and cleared up the Yellow Turban Army that Gongsun Zan deliberately left, he was named the prefect of Dongjun.

Since then, Cao Jun finally had his own territory, the rich Dongjun.

After Cao Cao had a clear official position, he assigned positions to his subordinates and received salaries. After that, Xia Anran became a national civil servant again.

Although the money is less, it is better than nothing.

But later he found out that Cao Cao’s position as prefect of Dongjun County was actually only on the list of Yuan Shao, and it was not recognized at all, but the warlords in various places in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were basically up to you to admit or not. Anyway, I appointed it, okay So be it.

Cao Cao has not been recognized, let alone these little guys.

So they actually worked for several years in vain before finally being officially recognized, which is worse than temporary workers.

And just when Xia Anran received the notice to move, he encountered a shocking problem——

Rabbit, what should I do if there are too many rabbits?

However, within a year, the number of his rabbits has skyrocketed, and the mountain where Xia's Zhuangzi is located has been dug many holes by these rabbits.

I don't know why, but Xia Anran obviously didn't keep those rabbits in captivity. Except the earliest rabbit father and mother and three little rabbits are still raised here, the rest of the rabbit grandchildren are scattered outside. Theoretically, the ecology is balanced. Here The rabbits should not be able to survive so many.

In desperation, he finally got into the carriage with his father and mother and the three little bastards in his arms.Bid farewell to the Lu family and Pang county magistrate, and set foot on the road to Dongjun.

Cao Cao himself had already started work in Dongjun, and it was Cao Chun who came to pick them up. He brought [-] cavalry. Xun Yu immediately started packing up after receiving the news, and they had almost packed up when Cao Chun arrived.

The grain, grass, and dried fish collected last autumn were packed into boxes of grain carts. The wheat in the field was too late to be harvested, so they were sold at a discount to the people of Chenggao County along with the field in exchange for corn.

There was a small animal in the accompanying convoy that was particularly conspicuous, and even Cao Chun stared at it a few more times, "This is... a mule?" He studied the small animal for a long time before hesitantly asked, Xia Anran Yes.

Cough, this is his harvest this autumn.

He deliberately put the male donkey and the mare together. The people in the stable didn't know his sinister intentions, they just thought it was convenient to keep warm together in winter, not to mention that even the mare was much taller than the donkey. When it was found that the mare was pregnant with a cub, everyone thought it was a wild horse that came from somewhere.

Xia Anran, who was the only one who knew about it and was the one who planned it, stuffed the hard-working donkey with a pinch of the freshest pasture when everyone was madly scolding the wild horse.

Thanks for your hard work, donkey brother.

Well done, dude donkey.

Mules are the product of distant hybridization. The offspring of horses and donkeys have many advantages, but only one disadvantage: they cannot reproduce.

The sperm activity of male mules is very low, and their chromosomes are different from those of horses and donkeys. Female mules are even more troublesome. Their pelvis cannot be opened, and even if they conceive embryos, they cannot produce.

In the Spring and Autumn Period of our country, mules appeared, but at that time they were regarded as cherished animals.

But Xia Anran made mules specially for their high strength.

Compared with horses, mules have the advantage that their waist strength is far stronger than that of horses and donkeys. They are very suitable for use as transport animals, and they have a longer life span and higher disease resistance.

On this point, mules can completely replace donkeys and horses.

This little mule has become a rare animal now. Many people come to see it. They don’t know that Xia Anran made this mule, and they think it is a good omen. cub.

Many people have put on various auspicious high hats for this mule, and expressed that they would dedicate it to the lord.

Xia Anran was stunned and unable to say: No, wait, listen to me!Not like that!

When the little mule was still heartless, it now has a detached position, often having fun in the team, rubbing against this person and messing with that horse.

It made the horses in the team very annoyed with it and completely ignored it, especially when it provoked Cao Chun's horse.

Cao Chun's horse can be said to be the king of horses in this cavalry team. He has such a violent temper. If someone hadn't stopped him at that time, he would have kicked this little brat flying under his belly on the spot!

As a counselor, Xia Anran naturally still had privileges, such as being able to ride in a carriage with her alone, but Xia Anran didn't sit in it. He led a docile mare and rode beside Cao Chun.

He has always been naturally curious about the situation of this era. For example, he is now curious about Cao Cao beating Gongsun Zan.

Cao Chunyi spoke with him, and the two of them walked together, and they were already familiar with each other, so they naturally spoke a little casually.

The two quickly talked about the battle.

Soon after Cao Cao was incorporated into Yuan Shao's army, he put forward a suggestion regarding Gongsun Zan's situation: use arrows to defeat Gongsun Zan's cavalry.

Gongsun Zan lives in the north and often fights with the Hu people. He has an elite army under his command. He has selected [-] white horses and [-] warriors, and they are called "White Horse Yi Cong". , this time Gongsun Zan used the means of beating barbarians to beat Han people.

Cao Cao immediately made a suggestion to treat Gongsun Zan's troops as the Huns, and his suggestion was approved by Yuan Shao's general Qu Yi.

So Yuan Shao's army urgently mobilized the attackers and crossbowmen to retrain the battle formation, and almost wiped out the White Horse Yicong. First.

This is the suppressing effect of bows and crossbows on rising troops.

In front of crossbowmen, unless any cavalry is willing to use the precious life of their horses to block them, they can only use harassment tactics before the invention of new armor.

Speaking of Baima Yicong, Xia Anran thought of one person——Liu Bei.

At this time, Liu Bei should be under Gongsun Zan's banner, and he should have known Zhao Yun. The two met because of this battle, and laid the groundwork for Zhao Yun's entry into Liu's camp.

Xia Anran had some thoughts about Zhao Yun.

Zhao Zilong, a brave Confucian general, and Changshan Zhao Zilong, who goes in and out seven times, who wouldn't want it.

But he was just thinking about it. Liu Bei does have a charismatic personality. It is not unreasonable for Zhao Yun to be obsessed with it for nearly ten years. But now Cao Cao's reputation is also good. Maybe more and more talents will come to vote in the future.

When he was thinking this way, he saw a young man in the queue that he had never seen before. The reason why he was attracted was because this man was riding a white horse. He looked at this man curiously. I had seen it before, so I asked Cao Chun, Cao Chun took a look and said, "This is Zhao Yun, named Zilong."

He paused, and said, "My lord ordered Chun Jian to ride a tiger and leopard, and Zilong is a member of the tiger and leopard rider."

The news made Xia Anran dizzy, he couldn't help but began to doubt himself, Guo Jia had the ability to kill anyone whoever he said, could it be that my ability in the Three Kingdoms was to join Cao Ying when I thought of anyone?

He was so dizzy that Tao Tao was almost insane with joy, he hurriedly recited the names of civil servants and military generals of the right age in his heart, and even recited the names of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu together in a frenzy.

After barely recovering after a while, Xia Anran was too embarrassed to turn her head, so she could only find an excuse to say that she had a baby to show Cao Chun, then rode her horse and turned back to the carriage. After looking over, he climbed back into the carriage with a satisfied face.

Seeing him running back suddenly, Xun Yu was a little puzzled, and saw the child rummaging around in the carriage for a long time with his butt pouted and found something. No matter how well-bred he was, he couldn't help turning his eyes away and unwilling to look at it.

Xia Anran trotted to Cao Chun's side with the thing in his hand, and opened the cloth on the thing in a somewhat mysterious way. Cao Chun took the thing, raised his brows high, and was a little puzzled, and then he saw Xia Anran was so happy that she took it over and put the small round mouth on her mouth, and took a big breath, "Du~doo, toot~ toot~"

Cao Chun stared wide-eyed, looking at Xia Anran who was enjoying himself, he didn't know what to say for a moment

This sound... is very noisy, really very noisy. The line of nearly 3000 people is very long. When he blows like this, all the soldiers who are close to the middle of the line are looking this way, and there is no response from the people behind. Cao Chun didn't know, but he seemed to hear everything he saw.

Moreover, the tune is completely different from that of Guqin, it is more high-pitched, which can be called loud and clear.

Then Xia Anran took the thing down and said, "This is suona."

"……Um?"

Xia Anran explained to him, "I had a boy in the camp before, who was not seriously injured, but died in the end. The doctor said that he was... temporarily weak."

"It suddenly occurred to me that at such a time, if there is a sound that can make people listen to it, it would be great."

"It's just that it's inconvenient to carry the guqin, and the bamboo flute is too tactful. I thought, in the army, it's better to make it tougher and higher-pitched. It happened to sound the tone of the suona that I had heard before, so I thought of a way to make it."

"It's just that the pitch is not stable...it hasn't been adjusted yet."

"Wen Ruo said he didn't understand this thing." Xia Anran touched her nose a little embarrassedly, "Zihe, do you think this can be used?"

Cao Chun took the suona, imitated his appearance, put on the reed cover, and blew a few times. He quickly mastered the technique. The playing of the suona is very simple. Once he was able to get started, the beeping sounds of various syllables continued for a while, and they didn't stop until the break. In the end, Xun Yu expressed that he couldn't bear it, and went to find the two of them.

Seeing these two people sitting on the ground, Xia Anran blew a few notes for Cao Chun to listen to. Cao Chun scribbled down the bamboo slips. The two looked very serious. When Xun Yu approached, Xia Anran said, "Suona The tone of the voice can be transmitted very far. If it is used as a trumpet, soldiers can hear it without shouting."

Then Xun Yu saw that Cao Chun had taken Xia Anran's instrument, and without wiping the whistle, he just took it in his mouth, imitating Xia Anran's playing the notes.At the end he thought about it, nodded and said, "It is indeed possible," he said, looking up at Xun Yu.

Some doubts asked, "Why is Wenhe here?"

He didn't wait for Xun Yu to reply, he picked up the suona and said to Xun Yu, "Wen He is good at rhythm, if you come and listen, which one is better."

The corner of Xun Yu's brows twitched, and he gave Xia Anran a deep look, who immediately turned his eyes away and pretended to be nonchalant.

One day Xia Anran came to him and said that he wanted to learn the guqin. Xun Yu was a little surprised, but after listening to him play a few pieces, he found that he had a solid foundation and his ideas were quite novel. Playing the piano in the mountains and rivers is considered an elegant event, and it is also a life that Xun Yu has not seen for a long time.

Every literati has the desire to return to the mountains and forests, and of course Xun Yu also has it. Indulging in mountains and rivers, laughing and singing freely is also the pursuit of famous scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Everything ended after Xia Anran performed suona.

Xia Anran asked craftsmen from Chenggao City to make this suona. They cooperated several times, and the craftsmen could already understand what Xia Anran meant.

Xun Yudi, once, heard such music.

It is very touching and can instantly destroy a person's perception of music. At first Xia Anran said that he would play with him, and the two tried it. In the end, Xun Yu found that no matter how he went, his tune would follow Xia Anran's in the end. Let's go.

The sound of the suona is prominent and very penetrating. When it sounds, Xun Yu's piano sound can only be heard in his head, and the sound of the suona is all in his ears.

It's not an ensemble, it's a solo.

Afterwards, Xia Anran explained to him that he wanted to make up a military music, and there were passwords and so on. During that whole month, his mind was full of beeping sounds, even when he was reading documents. It's the voice.

Until finally he drove the man to the river and asked him to practice in front of the forest... The dried meat he brought this time came from that way. After practicing for several days, all the livestock in the forest were forced out, and all of them were killed. Killed by soldiers sent to protect Xia Anran.

Xun Yu remembered all these things in his mind, and he felt that after the news got out, Xia Anran might be able to live forever and become a music leader.

But now, he didn't want to hear these voices anymore.

Xia Anran had already heard all the things Xia Anran blew to Cao Chun, and many times, he had to change them a few times and Xun Yu listened to them a few times, so he told them very kindly that they could only play again. One song, the rest will continue tomorrow, everyone is very tired today and needs to rest.

Xia Anran blinked, looked at Xun Yu and thought it was not easy to offend, looked at Cao Chun and felt that it was not good to hang people, turned her eyes, stood up, took a breath, and it was an extremely loud and melodious tune, Suona The most powerful thing is that as long as he has enough skills, he can play almost all types of music. No matter what genre of music, he can rely on technology to make up for it. Xia Anran's skills are not enough, but he can use his lung capacity to make up for it.

The piece is not long, just a short moment. This is a piece that Xun Yu has never heard before, but one can feel the deep pride and nostalgia of the performer. It is extraordinarily broad, tolerant, non-murderous, and full of expectations. .
