Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 258 Entering a wealthy family is as deep as the sea, catching the little overlord in the urn

On the official road from Lujiang to Chen State.

Several horses were resting, and the groom beside them was feeding the horses some horse feed. It seemed that the horses were snorting constantly due to the long-distance raid, and they were quite tired.

This is the motorcade of Qiao's family in Lujiang, and it has been twelve hours since the last time they rested at the inn.

Even if the person is not tired, the horse can't bear it.

call…

Beside the stream, two beautiful figures faced the stream, and the elderly woman among them sighed faintly.

"Tomorrow... Tomorrow I will arrive in Chen Country, how will my sister invite Lu Yixian to come out of the mountain?"

It was Big Joe who spoke.

As soon as the topic of inviting Lu Yixian to come out of the mountain was mentioned, her brows could not help but frown. This is a big problem, but it seems... my younger sister, Xiao Qiao, has a plan in mind.

"...This." Xiao Qiao choked up a little, and swallowed the words again, but a little blush was added to her cheeks.

"It's coming tomorrow, now? Are you still hiding it from my sister?" Da Qiao continued to ask...

Xiao Qiao lowered her head slightly, but finally spoke. "Sister, I've heard that after the year of Wuxiang, the sons of rich and noble families will arrange some maids to fill in the house for..."

When it came to the end, Xiao Qiao really couldn't say it. After all, "house maid"... This kind of thing is very taboo for girls.

The daughter of a normal family, who would do such a humble thing?
Speaking of this, Xiao Qiao's face turned even redder, as if she was slightly drunk.

Ah... ah... a room-filling maid?
Da Qiao was taken aback, her younger sister, Xiao Qiao, was actually planning...to ask Lu Yixian to come out of the mountain on this condition?

Da Qiao is no stranger to the house-filling maid that Xiao Qiao mentioned.

As my sister said, a wealthy family pays attention to the inheritance of children and the continuation of incense in everything.

It is for this reason that these princes will start to learn the "Rituals of the Duke of Zhou" and "things about the bed" when they are 15 years old...

This is a rule that has been established for hundreds of years.

And the higher the family status, the higher the requirements for maids who fill in the house, such as beauty, appearance, personality... even knowledgeable and reasonable.

And Lu Yixiangui is a senior minister, and after hearing that his sister is also from a famous family, she is the talented girl Cai Yan.

Presumably the eyes will be higher...

If this is the case, with the beauty of his younger sister Xiao Qiao, maybe Lu Yixian can really move his heart and save their mother.

Pretty little sister Qiao has this energy!

just.

As an older sister, how could Da Qiao be willing to let her younger sister be a house-filling maid by herself?

"Second sister... the status of this house-filling maid is not high, and her status in the mansion is very delicate. If the mistress enters the Sinon mansion in the future, she will become a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh..."

Da Qiaohui was heartbroken, she had heard too many stories about the miserable situation of house maids.

There is no mistress of a wealthy family who can be so generous as to tolerate "house maids"!

After all, every concubine is a threat to the mistress.

Look at it this way...the house-filling maid is like a tool person, just responsible for the enlightenment of the son when he was young, and after the son gets married, he will become the most ordinary maid in the mansion.

Even... Most of them will be feared by the mistress of the house.

There is only one thing that can change the fate of the house-filling maid, and that is to conceive an heir.

In this way, it is possible to win the status of a concubine!
But... there are strict restrictions on this, it must be done after the young master is officially married, otherwise... if it spreads out, it will hinder the young master's reputation and prevent him from getting a good match.

Difficult...too difficult.

It can be said that the fate of a house-filling maid can be said in one sentence - once she enters a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea!

Or just say, I'd rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine.

For a moment, Da Qiao's mind was full of thoughts, the more he thought about it, the more he clenched his teeth, and his expression became more and more complicated.

"Sister, this is the only way? Isn't it?"

Xiao Qiao pouted.

She is very smart, and she also knows that there are not many things she can rely on, and perhaps the only thing that can attract Lu Yixian is this skin.

It's hard to imagine that Xiao Qiao, who is fresh and ethereal, with a temperament like a green lotus blooming, is actually quite resolute.

Now, in order to save her mother, even if she is working as a house-filling maid, even if she enters a wealthy family, Xiao Qiao doesn't even blink her eyes.

"But... sister, you are still young!" Da Qiao murmured...

"My sister is only two years older than me." Xiao Qiao pouted, maintaining her inherent stubbornness. "In short, as long as you can invite Immortal Lu, as long as you can save your mother... nothing else matters."

This…

Hearing this, Da Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart.

How... how can I push everything to my sister?
If she sees Lu Yixian, she must mention this to Lu Yixian before her sister.

if…

If there must be someone who fills in the house, let my sister bear the "pain"...

Beside the Yingying Creek, the strong sisterhood continues to ripple.

Tomorrow...tomorrow we will arrive in Chen Country.

I don't know, what is Lu Yixian's personality?

And... do you get along well?
And... will the mistress of Sinong's mansion make things difficult for them in the future?

...

...

Here, the Qiao family's cavalry is heading towards Chen Guo.

On the other side, Jiangdong's fleet has already docked.

Zhuge Jin, Sun Ce's emissary, patted his sleeves, adjusted his clothes, and made himself appear more solemn. He took a deep breath, stepped out, and walked towards the government office of Lujiang County.

At this moment, the government office...

Lujiang prefect Liu Xun was looking at the kit in front of him, feeling restless for a long time.

"Zi Yang? Is everything written in this kit true?"

Liu Xun asked urgently...

Liu Ye nodded, then shook his head again. "I don't know if it's true or not. I need to meet with Jiangdong's envoy and verify it before I know the truth. If so..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ye paused for a moment, and continued: "If the envoys from Jiangdong are as mentioned in the kit, they will praise the prefect Liu, give gold, silver and jewelry to the prefect Liu, and propose to use the prefect Liu But in the end...their goal was changed, asking Taishou Liu to attack Shangliao City, then...the wolf ambition will be revealed."

call…

Liu Xun let out a long breath.

In fact, according to the historical trend, after Liu Xun met with the Jiangdong envoy, even if Liu Ye saw through the other party's treachery, Liu Xun would still go his own way and attack Shangliao City...

Only then was he successfully stolen his home, lost Lujiang County, and took refuge in Cao Cao with the remnants in desperation.

Lao Cao lost [-] troops in vain!

Things are very different now...

It is equivalent to Liu Xun having seen the entire plan of the opponent before meeting with the Jiangdong envoy.

Then...

If Jiangdong envoys still follow the old routine, but... that's another story.

"Zi Yang, the Jiangdong envoy has already crossed the river, you go with me to meet him."

Liu Xun ordered.

Liu Ye thought about it for a while, and immediately his eyes were fixed.

"Liu Taishou, just listen to me again..."

"Even if Jiangdong's emissary's words are as mentioned in this kit, my lord, please don't get angry, let alone show displeasure, and agree to it for now. After the incident, we can discuss it with Cheng Sima of the Longxiao camp. Countermeasures."

Liu Ye thought more comprehensively.

If it is just to see through the opponent's strategy, it is far from enough to serve as a "vote certificate" to surrender to Cao Cao.

But... if it's a plan, it will be counted.

To win a big victory against the "Little Overlord Sun Ce", then... the meaning is different.

Liu Xun nodded in agreement. "Zi Yang is still thoughtful!"

don't say...

At this moment, Liu Xun had a trace of fear in his eyes.

If all the predictions in this kit are correct...

Then the famous Lu Yu in Cao Ying is really a bit "monster"?

Yuan Shu, the first son of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third father, is not the opponent of this "monster", so Liu Xun...is just a small character?If you want to fight against Lu Yu and Cao Cao, wouldn't it be like a mantis' arm?

Ha ha…

Thinking about it this way, it seems... surrendering to Cao Cao is his only and absolutely correct choice!
...

Lujiang County, a post house.

On a table, three people sit on their knees.

Liu Xun and Liu Ye are kneeling on the left side, Zhuge Jin, the emissary of Jiangdong, is kneeling on the right side

"My lord received the news that Yuan Shu had died, so he specially ordered me to come to congratulate Governor Liu..."

Zhuge Jin spoke first.

Liu Xun wanted to reply, but Liu Ye took the first step, "Dare to ask Your Excellency? Why does my lord like it?"

"Hahaha..." Zhuge Jin smiled and clapped his hands.

Immediately after…

A servant brought in five or six boxes.Zhuge Jin's words continued: "Some money is not a respect, it is to express my lord's admiration for Liu Taishou!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Jin laughed again.

"Hahaha, if Yuan Shu died, then the whole of Yangzhou? The whole of Jiangdong, isn't it the prefect Liu who decides? Those who know the current affairs are the heroes!"

"My lord ordered me to go to Lujiang, just to form an alliance with Liu Taishou. Liu Taishou's literary and military virtues, my master Sun Bofu has admired him for a long time, and is willing to form an alliance with Liu Taishou, and we will help each other. I will protect Liu Taishou. The 72 counties of the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River! We offer enough food, gold, silver and jewels every year, and I only hope that Governor Liu can protect us!"

flattering...

Still very artistic "flattery"!
Zhuge Jin spoke comfortably, and Liu Xun listened more comfortably.

That humble attitude and humble tone made every pore on Liu Xun's body very clear.

If it were not for the kit that Feng Cheng Yu handed over, Liu Xun would probably have been in high spirits when he saw the money and heard the words.

You know, after 2000... the story of the current hotspot "The King of Anyang, the Dog Bites a Man" tells us that people must not float away at any time, otherwise... they will definitely be stabbed!

As the saying goes - don't be too careless in life and things, be careful of being hit by a steel knife in the back!

Good thing…

Liu Xun didn't drift away, on the contrary, he was very rational, even because of that kit, he wanted to laugh!
...Now he...even knows what Zhuge Jin is going to say next.

He glanced at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye stroked his beard, and the two exchanged glances, their eyes met, and they understood each other.

"Unexpectedly, Sun Bofu is a person who is quite knowledgeable about current affairs." Liu Ye said, "It's so good, you and my two families are working together, I will conquer the city from outside, and you will provide food for the army inside. Bring out the best in each other, and the world is at your fingertips!"

As soon as this word came out...

A large part of the rock hanging in Zhuge Jin's heart fell down.

This time he went to Lujiang to carry out his mission, Zhou Yu had repeatedly told him to be careful of Liu Ye, Lujiang's shogunate hero, saying that he was resourceful and might be able to see through this trick.

The most important thing is that he has an extremely special status in Lujiang and in the army, and he can control the situation.

For this reason, Zhuge Jin made special preparations, ready to fight Liu Ye at any time!
He has always been a cautious man...never fights unprepared!
Can…

Listening to the meaning of Liu Ye's words now, it seems to believe in the friendship of this alliance.

In this way, wouldn't the big stone in his heart fall?From Zhuge Jin's point of view, this matter...has been more than half done!
call…

Exhaling from his heart, Zhuge Jin tried his best to calm his mood.

He is a natural lobbyist, no matter what mood he is in, he can quickly return to calm.

"As Liu Gongcao said, I am in charge, transporting money, food, and military supplies... Liu Taishou is in charge of the outside world, competing for the Central Plains, but right now...Jiangdong is initially settled, and there is insufficient food and grass. The only thing I can take out is these gold and silver jewels. Presumably Lujiang is also subject to grain, right?"

"Alas..." Zhuge Jin sighed, and continued: "Speaking of which, Yuan Shuxin was defeated, and his subordinates fell apart. Originally, most of the cities under his subordinates would stand on their own, and among them are 'Yuzhang', 'Haihun', ' Shangliao's food is the most abundant in the three cities! Chacha..."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Jin paused.

A look of unwillingness.

"It just so happens that these three cities are in Hua Xin's hands. Hehe, Hua Xin is just a literati. What skills does he have to guard the cities?"

"In my opinion, why doesn't Prefect Liu send troops to 'Shangliao City', destroy Hua Xin in one go, and take the three places of 'Yuzhang', 'Haihun', and 'Shangliao'!"

"It is said that 'Shangliao is rich, and the country can be rich if you know it'. My lord Sun Bofu originally wanted to attack them for Liu Taishou. However, the road was inconvenient to attack them, so I asked a big country like Liu Taishou to attack them! My lord Sun Bofu It must be used as foreign aid, and when the time comes...for the three cities and food, Prefect Liu only needs to give my lord [-]%...It can be regarded as a gift to my lord for his hard work!"

This remark is very artistic and reasonable.

It can be said that Zhuge Jin is very good at figuring out the opponent's mind. If he only asked Liu Xun to attack the three cities of 'Yuzhang', 'Haihun' and 'Shangliao', and Jiangdong Sun Ce to provide assistance, it would probably arouse the opponent's suspicion.

But now...

He offered to ask for [-]% of the food!

Then... everything is reasonable, and this is enough to make Liu Xun lose his vigilance and defense all at once.

After all, Jiangdong also has a purpose. Since they have a common purpose, why can't they have the same goal?

Coupled with Zhuge Jin's humble tone.

The kung fu of flattering is even more amazing, and the attitude expressed in every word is - to get the food of Shangliao, it must be a powerful person like Liu Taishou!

The modest attitude and the temptation of real money are enough to make Liu Xun feel flustered again, and he can't figure out how much he weighs.

Even...Even after reading the kit beforehand, Liu Xun was a little ready to move!
"Cough cough..."

Liu Ye coughed lightly as a reminder.

Only then did Liu Xun recover from the thoughts floating into the clouds.

call…

Take a deep breath.

With this breath of effort, Liu Xun thought a lot, far away...

Be good, the way of the Jiangdong envoy is really exactly the same as the one in the kit.

If he was deceived by the money and flattery, and really went to attack Shangliao City, then the next tragedy in his bag would be staged. Shangliao City's defenses were strong, and he would not be able to attack for a while.

But Liu Xun's hometown Lujiang is empty and isolated, and Sun Ce will rush to attack.

And if Liu Xun returns to aid...

Sun Ce will send another army to ambush in the middle of the road!

The next story...

You know, Liu Xun's [-] troops are all based in Lujiang County, so how could they fight to the death?
The tragedy of being besieged on all sides will be staged again, and it is inevitable that the [-] army will turn against each other!

This…

Thinking of this, Liu Xun trembled all over. If it wasn't for...if it wasn't for Lu Yu's writing and this kit sent by Cheng Yu, he...he, Liu Xun, would have capsized in the gutter.

As Liu Ye said, sooner or later he will surrender to Cao Cao.

It's just... there are still [-] troops in the surrender, and you can be a high-ranking official with a generous salary. When the army is defeated, you can surrender with one head on your shoulders. That's a cool song!

At this moment, Liu Xun's face turned blue and purple, which was very ugly.

Zhuge Jin also noticed this, and he murmured in his heart, could it be... Was he seen through?
Immediately he asked, "Does Governor Liu feel bad?"

As a commentator, don't panic, you have to find out what the other party is thinking.

If you are in a hurry to continue explaining at this moment, for example... how rich is Shangliao City?
How scumbag Hua Xin's fighting power is...

That is bound to arouse the suspicion of the other party.

Never thought about it, just when Zhuge Jin was still a little confused.

With a "shua", Liu Xun grabbed Zhuge Jin's hands and held them firmly.

He couldn't help shouting:

"Great talent, sir, great talent..."

"Why didn't I think of conquering Shangliao City and Huaxin? Shangliao is rich, and he knows that he can make the country rich, sir... If I, Liu Xun, can achieve great things, then sir, this plan must be a success!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xun made an impatient look...

He immediately ordered Liu Ye: "Liu Gongcao? Did you hear that? Mr. Zhuge is a great talent... Take Shangliao City, let's mobilize troops immediately, and go to attack Na Huaxin, and then... compete in the Central Plains, without delay!"

Uh…

Liu Xun's appearance, ah no, to be precise, it was Liu Xun's acting skills that directly confused Liu Ye.

That's a little too much force, isn't it?

Can Liu Ye realize...

Liu Xun deliberately wanted to show his impatience to attack "Shangliao City", but...but this acting was so exaggerated that Liu Ye almost believed it.

"Cough cough..."

With a light cough, Liu Ye hurriedly cupped his hands. "Liu Taishou Mingjian, Mr. Zhuge is a great talent..."

Having said that, he quickly got up. "Prefect Liu, it's not too late, let's..."

Before finishing a sentence, Liu Xun squeezed Zhuge Jin's hand a little more exaggeratedly. "My dear brother, from now on, Mr. Zhuge, you will be my dear brother and my guest at Liu Xun's seat. You are always welcome in Lujiang! I... like you!"

At the end of the talk, Liu Xun patted Zhuge Jin's shoulder heavily with his hand.

This beat means a lot.

Uh…

Zhuge Jin was a little dazed, why did the "virtuous brother" get called?Has he completed his mission?

But it seems that something is wrong!

Thinking about it carefully, I can't think of anything wrong, after all...Liu Xun has already agreed to attack Shangliao City, isn't this a happy event, everyone's happy?

All in all, there was confusion, but... things went smoothly.

In a daze, Liu Xun and Liu Ye had bid farewell to Zhuge Jin...

They walk like flying, and their speed is like an arrow off the string, even a rabbit can't catch up.

Zhuge Jin rubbed her eyes, the two of them...are they so eager?

Things are going well!

Although it was slightly different from Zhou Gongjin's expectation, for example... Liu Ye, the shogunate hero, did not refute.

Because of this, it saved Zhuge Jin's pre-prepared words.

However, everything is fine, all within Zhou Yu's expectation!
Looking out the window, where are the figures of Liu Xun and Liu Ye...

Have they gone to soldiers?
Zhuge Jin couldn't help but have such a question mark in his heart.

Of course…

Counting soldiers is definitely necessary, but, in addition to counting soldiers...

Liu Ye and Liu Xun also want to meet someone first, to be more precise, to meet the legendary Sima of the Long Xiao Camp...Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde, who has always reversed his tactics and persuaded him to surrender!
presumably…

His side, or Lu Si Nong's side, has already prepared countermeasures, right?

——Follow the plan?
— Playing hard to get?
Or - to catch a turtle in a urn?Ah no... Is it the little overlord who was torn apart in the urn?
...
