My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 60
Xuchang was called "Xu" in ancient times. It originated from the time of Yao, when Xu Chang, a high-ranking official, farmed the place and washed his ears on the shore of Yingshui.

Speaking of Xuchang, most people in later generations will think of Cao Wei, because it was the political, economic and cultural center of the Cao Wei period.

At the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, the wars between the princes of various places in the north mainly revolved around the Yellow River basin in Luoyang and Chang'an. Both Xuchang and Luoyang were south of the Yellow River. More than 200 miles.

Xuchang's unique agricultural conditions have greatly benefited the Cao Wei regime. The economy once surpassed Luoyang, which was no longer prosperous due to the war, and was much stronger than Chang'an, which also declined due to the war.

As the main producer of grain in the entire north at that time, Xuchang was connected to the Huanghuai Plain in the east and the Yellow River in the north because of its convenient water and land transportation.

Of course, there was no Cao Wei regime at this time, and today's Xuchang belongs to Yingchuan County of the Han Dynasty, also known as Xu County.

There is a plain to the east of Xu County. Because it is facing the bank of the Yellow River, the land is rich and fertile, not to mention the high grain output, and various fishery resources have also been vigorously developed. It is an out-and-out cornucopia.

And it is not the imperial court or any princes who control this plain, but the dignified Hedong Wei clan.

With such an important place, the Wei family naturally did not dare to be careless, and the ones sent here to sit here are Wei Cheng's second uncle, Wei Min and Wei Zhongping, one of the real power figures of the Wei family.

Early this morning, there was a long queue at the gate of Weizhuang Village in Xu County. The households of various subordinate villages had to send the harvested grain to Weizhuang Village for registration and registration, and then deduct nearly [-]% of the grain according to taxes and corvee. What is the harvest of the farmers.

The stewards in charge of registration have been busy from dawn to noon, and the more than a dozen granaries in Weizhuang have gradually been filled with various grains.

There is a high platform made of solid wood at the entrance of Weizhuang. Standing on it, you can have a bird's-eye view of the two-mile radius.

The guard in charge of vigilance looked nervous, for fear that the Yellow Turban bandits would take the opportunity to rob.

Behind them, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar sat on the futon, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his breathing was steady. From his facial features, he could see some edges and corners of Wei Cheng on his face. This man was Wei Yan. up.

At the only wooden ladder that can climb up to the high platform, there is a young man in his twenties holding an ox horn bow, and a pair of sharp Ruifeng eyes are constantly scanning the distant forest, but when there is a wind and grass, his whole body tenses up, as if Facing the enemy.

Wei Min glanced sideways, got up and came to the side of the young man, and said, "I wanted to return to Hedong in the near future, but I didn't want the yellow scarf bandits to show up again in the past few days. Brother Zhongkang has worked hard."

The young man looked back at him, cupped his hands and said hastily, "Guard Wei is too polite. The bandits attacked Qiao County two years ago, and the people in Qiao County were miserable. If the Wei family hadn't provided food relief in time, we would have starved to death in Qiao County." How many people died of freezing, my father and my eldest brother have already said, thank you for your kindness, since the Wei family is in need, my Xu family will help even if their bodies are smashed to pieces."

Wei Yan smiled without saying a word, nodded and looked at the long food delivery team in the audience, frowning slightly.

Seeing this, young Xu Zhu wondered, "Guard Wei, what's wrong?"

Wei Min put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Look at the man in the middle of the line leading the ox cart, I don't think his gait is like that of an ordinary old farmer, and there are large tattoo marks on his arms. "

"Of course, there is more than one suspicious place. Just look at the villagers behind him. Are they also different from ordinary people? Their legs and knees are slightly bowed, and their hands will unconsciously touch their waists. If I expect it to be correct , should be a habit developed by long-term riding."

Xu Zhu was stunned, and looked down, and sure enough, as Wei Min said, those few people seemed a little out of place in the team.

"I'm afraid that the thieves disguised themselves as farmers and wanted to infiltrate the village to create chaos, so the thieves who were ambushing outside would have a chance to take advantage of it."

After Wei Min finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zhu, said with a smile on his face, "Brother Zhongkang, I have a plan..."

at the same time.

In a hidden mountain depression about five miles away from Weizhuang.

Nearly a thousand people hide here quietly, the leader is the former Yellow Turban General He Man, who calls himself 'Jetian Yasha', who is good at wielding a large iron rod weighing a hundred catties, with superb force and astonishing courage, It's a pity that I can't use my brain to fight Cao Hong back and forth.

"Damn it, how long are you going to wait here, can't you just charge over there?" He Man, who was waiting impatiently, shouted angrily.

Beside, several soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay.

One of the thin bearded men said: "Brother He, why should you be in a hurry, you just need to sneak into the village and light a fire, and there will be chaos inside and outside the Wei village. Isn't it beautiful."

He Man said angrily: "I love your mother's legs, you are just a poor man, and you want me to wait here for a long time. If you want me to say, you are afraid that I will take your credit."

When the thin man heard this, his face became gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "He Man, be careful what you say. What do you mean by taking credit for your achievements? The general asked us to come out to grab food. Is there something wrong with my arrangement? Does it have to be like this? You can only do it by rushing indiscriminately?"

"Hehe, just like me, with your body?" He Man looked up at the sky proudly, too lazy to chat with him.

The thin man blushed with anger and had a thick neck, but seeing that his thighs were not as thick as the opponent's arms, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.

Another hour passed.

He Man stood up impatiently, walked to the side, took off his pants to drain the water, and deliberately stepped on the skinny man when he passed by.

The thin man was about to go into a fit, when the soldiers at the side pulled him back, frowned and said, "Don't get angry with him, please find a way to find out. Why hasn't there been any movement for so long? The plan must have failed."

The thin man was stunned, and felt that there must be something wrong. Logically speaking, those people he arranged should have entered Weizhuang. How could it be so long and there is still no movement.

Thinking that the plan might fail, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Weizhuang. At this time, the sun was setting and the afterglow shot through the bushes on the mountain depression and hit his face, which was as hot as blood.

"Ah, don't drive, Wu!"

shhhhhh...

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, everyone gets down on the ground, with swords, shields and shields in hand to defend."

"Damn, we've been exposed, and everyone will follow me and charge up."

He Man was releasing water, when suddenly an arrow shot at him three times, scaring him so much that he almost retreated.

Seeing that the skinny man was hit by an arrow in the forehead, he was already dead, he shouted loudly, raised his iron rod to swing away the flying arrows, and shouted: "Kill, follow me to kill."

I saw him taking the lead, running quickly towards the top of the mountain, accurately blocking the incoming arrows with the iron rod in his hand, and counterattacking without increasing his speed.

However, when he turned his head, he saw an infuriating scene.

"Fucking shit, what are you afraid of, follow me!"

Hearing this, several sword and shield players who were not far away from him rolled their eyes at him contemptuously, and then quickly backed away.

The col has two exits, the front is blocked, and there is another exit to escape from the back.

Not only ordinary soldiers started to flee, but the soldiers who were in charge of protecting the skinny man also retreated one after another.

Seeing this, He Man picked up the iron rod angrily, picked up a stone in front of him, and ran back quickly.

While running, he shouted: "I am really ashamed to be with you, Grandpa, I will take a step first."

On the mountain.

Xu Zhu frowned slightly, and asked Wei Min, who was resting on the sidelines, for instructions: "Guard Wei, let me lead someone to catch up."

Wei Min clasped his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured: "Jetian Yasha? The remnant of the former Yellow Turban, someone saw him walking very close to Yuan Gonglu's people a few days ago, could it be..."

"Guardian Wei?" Seeing that everyone had run away, Xu Zhu hurriedly asked again.

Wei Min Nianxu shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Don't chase after the poor, let's go back first."

"This?" Xu Zhu looked at He Man who was running away unwillingly, and could only nod helplessly.

Wei Min's expression remained unchanged, but there was already a turmoil in his heart. Why did Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu, who was born in the fourth generation and third father, join forces with the Yellow Turban bandits, and why did he take the risk of sending people to grab food... "Could it be that what Cheng'er said has already come true? ?”

Thinking of Wei Cheng, Wei Min turned his head and said to Xu Zhu, "Zhongkang, I have something to discuss with you."

···
"...My sister didn't see it. At that time, I just made a move to step on the swallows and fly around. Before I took the next move, his sword broke in two, hahaha."

Shabby room and courtyard.

Xie Yu was overjoyed, defeating Wei Gong was enough for her to brag for days.

Wei Gong was eating steamed buns at the side, neither angry nor grudge, and looked at little Aning at the side with a smile on his face.

Aning felt uncomfortable being watched by him, turned his head to stare at him, and asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Wei Gong chuckled, pointed at the steamed buns in Aning's hand with great interest, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to know how many you can eat."

Aning's mouth was full of steamed buns, and he glared at him angrily, and said, "I want you to be widowed, hum."

He was so angry that people watched every steamed bun he ate, so he felt a little embarrassed when he ate the sixth one.

Wei Gong said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else. It's a good thing to be able to eat. It proves that you are a good material for martial arts. Maybe you will become a peerless master in the future."

Aning glanced at him, curled his lips and said, "I don't want to be a peerless expert. My dream is to become a five-star food connoisseur and eat all the food in the world."

Wei Gong was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "What is a five-star gourmet connoisseur?"

Aning was startled, and looked at Wei Cheng who was on the side.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng hurriedly said: "The so-called gourmet connoisseurs are people who go to restaurants and stations in various places to taste delicious food, and then rate the stations and restaurants."

"Is there such a person?" Wei Gong looked puzzled.

Aning looked at Wei Cheng in a daze, afraid of getting a negative answer, his eyes were filled with water vapor.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng hurriedly pulled Cai Yan over and said, "Yes, yes, brother Wei Gong is ignorant, if you don't believe me, ask sister, she must know."

Cai Yan looked at Wei Cheng, then looked at the aggrieved little Aning, smiled, and said, "That's right, brother Wei didn't lie to you, and Aning will definitely become a great gourmet in the future."

Seeing Cai Yan's endorsement, Ah Ning laughed through tears, nodded vigorously and said, "Yeah, Ah Ning will definitely become the most powerful five-star gourmet connoisseur, no, I want to become a six-star food connoisseur, hahaha."

Wei Gong looked suspiciously at the couple cheating on a little girl who was less than ten years old, it can be seen that little Aning smiled so innocently, he seemed to understand something, he smiled with relief, and said: "Yes, you can definitely, As for the tavern station opened by Wei Wei, I leave it to you to review, remember to give a five-star praise."

Aning laughed loudly, imitating Xie Yu's akimbo, and said triumphantly: "That's hard to say, if the food is not good, I will give you a bad review, hum." The appearance was amused, and the yard was full of laughter.

After dinner, Emiya said goodbye.

Wei Cheng prepared a box of good things for him to take back.

In addition to Wei Hao's favorite glass products, there are also some other daily necessities and several jars of seasonings.

Of course, Wei Cheng also prepared a set of anti-stab suits and an Eight-faced Han Sword for Wei Gong, letting him use it first, and then buy a good one for him later.During these few days of training, Wei Cheng also noticed that the Han sword was still not very good for actual combat, so he planned to purchase Tang Hengdao to try.

He didn't hesitate to buy a treasure knife, and Diao Qiu's exchange for wine is also proud.

In the era of cold weapons, the ancients loved swords as much as rich people in later generations played with cars, watches and cameras.

After getting along for a short time, Wei Cheng discovered that Wei Gong had a soft spot for all kinds of weapons. This is like sitting with a rich second generation in later generations. An afternoon of weapons, Wei Cheng almost heard the cocoon.

Knowing that Wei Gong likes weapons, Wei Cheng would naturally not be too stingy, and agreed to give him a set of equipment back, but only if he would bring him a few skilled goldsmiths the next time he came over.

Wei Gong agreed without saying a word, and he can still handle a few goldsmiths.

After sending Wei Gong away, Wei Cheng faced the setting sun and fell into deep thought.

Emiya came over in the afternoon to bring him good news and bad news.

The good news is that the Wei family has joined forces with the Wang family and the Xie family to take down the salt lake, and the process went very smoothly. During the period, the Hedong County government sent people to inquire, but with Hu Biao's cooperation in disguise, nothing happened.

Bad news is kind of fucked up.

Wei Cheng never expected that Dong Zhuo would go back to the south. Didn't he read the "Biography of Lu Buwei" recommended by him?

Could it be that after seeing Lu Buwei's miserable end, he still wants to go his own way?
Wei Cheng couldn't understand how fearless a person can be for power.

However, Wei Cheng couldn't help frowning every time he thought of Dong Zhuo's evil deeds after he came to power in the TV series.

"Husband, what are you thinking?"

Hearing Cai Yan's voice, Wei Cheng shook his head and smiled, and said, "It's nothing, just a little sad."

Cai Yan's embroidered eyebrows raised a sly arc, and she gloated and asked, "Is it because the second uncle is coming back?"

Wei Cheng was stunned.

Cai Yan tilted her head, and said mischievously, "If Second Uncle knows that Husband looks so good now, I'm afraid Husband's good days will come to an end."
