My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 70

Wei Cheng recalled many records about the Yellow Turban Army, including the origin and extinction of the Baibo Army in Hedong.

If there is no mistake in the historical data, next month, the 10,000+ Baibo army will advance into Hedong and approach Luoyang.

Historically, it was precisely because Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu could not stop the Baibo army's offensive that Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved his capital to Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Wei Cheng became enlightened. It should not be an exaggeration to say that the Baibo army is the vanguard of the alliance against Dong!
It's just that I don't know who is fueling the flames, otherwise, how could it be possible for a mere Mrs. Guo to organize 10,000+ people.

"Second brother, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that Wei Cheng was speechless all the way, Wei Gong couldn't help asking.

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, and said: "After you go back, immediately ask someone to investigate the movements of the Baibo army, especially where they transported the food they robbed, and where did they get their weapons and armor?" Yes, these must be strictly investigated."

Wei Gong was startled for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he said excitedly: "Second brother, are you going out of the mountain?"

Wei Cheng turned to look at him, and said angrily, "I'm just curious about what kind of mountain came out, so I just want to know about it."

"is it?"

Wei Gong chuckled, nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go back now. It was reported that the Baibo army was very close to the Huns on both sides of the Fen River, so I'll send someone to investigate."

Hearing the word 'Xiongnu', Wei Cheng's expression changed, and he turned around and asked, "Are there many Huns in Hedong?"

Wei Gong shook his head uncertainly: "It doesn't seem like there are too many. Those people all moved to the south a hundred years ago, and now they are no different from us Han people, but they still retain some customs and customs. Haven't you seen it?"

Wei Cheng chuckled and turned a blind eye. He had seen it before, but he had never seen it himself.

Wei Gong came and went in a hurry, and when he heard that Wei Cheng was interested in Bai Bojun, he volunteered to investigate thoroughly.

Wei Cheng still wanted to keep him for lunch, but he didn't want him to leave as soon as he said it, and he couldn't stop him.

Actually, what Wei Cheng didn't know was.

Now the entire Wei family is very concerned about his next "plan". The reason why Wei Gong is asked to go every three days is not only to know what rootless fire is, but also to let Wei Gong test Wei Cheng's acceptance. plan to come down.

And Wei Cheng inadvertently asked about the movements of the Baibo army and details of logistics, and was immediately misunderstood by Wei Gong that Wei Cheng was going to attack the Baibo army next, so he hurried back.

Of course, Wei Cheng didn't know the twists and turns of these cheap elders at this time, he was really just asking out of curiosity.

Back in the shabby room, Wei Cheng had just stepped into the courtyard when he saw Cai Yan sitting at the stone table staring at a piece of embroidered cloth in a daze.

Wei Cheng smiled knowingly, walked lightly behind Cai Yan, glanced at the pattern on the embroidered cloth, and saw two very delicate mandarin ducks, although it was only a semi-finished picture, it was very vividly outlined by needlework.

Wei Cheng looked at it for a while, and seeing that Cai Yan was still in a daze, he couldn't help asking concerned: "Yan'er, are you homesick?"

Cai Yan was taken aback by him, turned around and found that it was Wei Cheng, blushed and shook his head, faltering: "No, I, I..."

Wei Cheng sat across from her with a smile, picked up the embroidered cloth, looked at it, and said, "Is Yan'er planning to embroider a sachet?"

Cai Yan nodded, the cloth head is enough to make a sachet.

Wei Cheng smiled and said, "Give me the spices inside."

Cai Yan seemed to be in a low mood. After slightly nodding, he took the embroidered cloth and continued to fiddle with the needle and thread with his head down.

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, sensitively aware of Cai Yan's abnormality.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Do you know what flowers I'm going to put in it?"

Cai Yan raised her head and glanced at Wei Cheng, her nimble eyes were slightly red, and she shook her head blankly. She has been thinking about why Wei Cheng suddenly wanted to make those gold wares for the past few days. The concubine's thoughts couldn't stop at all.

Wei Cheng looked at her distressedly, and said, "I want to put sunflowers in it, do you know what the flower language of sunflowers is?"

Cai Yan was stunned, do flowers have a flower language?Also, what is a sunflower?
Wei Cheng reached out and touched her head lightly, and said, "You should know the legend of Kuafu chasing the sun, but you must not know that there is a kind of flower in this world called sunflowers, and they chase the sun all their lives... ..."

Wei Cheng told a few ancient Greek love stories about sunflowers, and Cai Yan's eyes sparkled when he heard them.

"Husband, is there really such an infatuated flower in this world?" Cai Yan looked longingly at the warm sun in the sky.

Wei Cheng nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, if you like, I can plant sunflowers all over the front and back of the courtyard for you, how about it?"

Cai Yan stared blankly at Wei Cheng in front of him, tears streaming down his face.

Wei Cheng walked behind her, hugged her tightly in his arms, and asked curiously: "Yan'er, what's the matter with you these days, why do you always look depressed?"

Cai Yan pursed her lips and shook her head stubbornly.

Wei Cheng had no choice but to comfort him: "You can tell me anything, and I will do my best to help you, just like the sunflower that is always looking at the sun, I will always be there looking at you."

This sentence directly hit Cai Yan's weak heart. Looking up at Wei Cheng, Cai Yan asked foolishly: "Husband, do you despise Yan'er, do you think Yan'er is old, do you want to be satisfied?" concubine?"

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "What kind of logic is this, I have never disliked you."

Cai Yan pressed his forehead against Wei Cheng's chest, and said with a choked voice: "Then why does my husband never touch me, and now he not only sleeps with me in a separate room, but also asks someone to make a golden vessel for marriage... I must be not good enough, Only a husband...will want to marry another beautiful wife."

Wei Cheng looked embarrassed, he didn't expect that his gentlemanly behavior would turn out to be estrangement in Cai Yan's eyes, and his behavior of ordering someone to make gold objects was also misunderstood by her as a signal to marry a concubine.

Seeing Cai Yan crying pear blossoms with rain, Wei Cheng hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to share the bed with you, it's just...you see, Yu'er is still there, at least wait for the house at the foot of the mountain to be repaired. Let her live in the guest room, lest she keep occupying my Yan'er."

Cai Yan's eyes were almost blurred, and he looked up at Wei Cheng obsessively, and it took him a long time to burst into tears, "What do you want to occupy, my husband just said something I couldn't understand."

Seeing that she was in a better mood, Wei Cheng lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said, "It was originally, if she hadn't occupied my position, I would have sneaked into your room at night, how could you have Opportunity for wild thinking."

"Well, Husband really... I'm ignoring you." Cai Yan blushed prettyly, pushed Wei Cheng away and hurried into the house.

Wei Cheng had a question mark on his face, did I say something wrong?

···
Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan has not been in a very good mood these past few days. In order to protect the country and the people, Liu Yu even sent envoys to do business with the Huns.

In Gongsun Zan's eyes, this was an unreasonable and funny decision. They had clearly won the battle, so why didn't they take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but instead shook hands with the enemy at this time to make peace?
Gongsun Zan was not bloodthirsty, but felt that Liu Yu was using another method to deprive him of the power and status he had bought with his life.

If there is no war on the border, then sooner or later the soldiers and horses in his hands will be taken back by the imperial court. At that time, he will be just a general in name only, and he will not be as majestic as he imagined.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan was in a bad mood and went around looking for someone to drink.

On this day, he invited the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang to go hunting in the mountains. Seeing that autumn is about to begin, wild beasts in the mountains come out to look for food one after another, hoarding a thick layer of fat for hibernation. The trip to the mountain is full of rewards.

Gongsun Zan and his party were no exception. They shot a few stags and walked back talking and laughing.

Everyone passed by a small mountain village, where there are traveling merchants soliciting business.

The businessman was accompanied by several guards, and this time the villagers were listening to the guards joking about some anecdotes on the road.

When Gongsun Zan and his party entered the village, the villager warmly greeted the villagers to prepare hot soup.

From a distance, the traveling merchant saluted Gongsun Zan with his fists clasped, and the brand of Wei's on his waist was very eye-catching.

Gongsun Zan bowed back with cupped fists, but he didn't pay much attention.

When everyone was sitting on the ground, drinking hot soup and resting, a few children playing nearby sang: "The Supreme Master of the Martial Arts, the sword and dragon slaying, orders the world, no one dares not to obey, relying on the sky to come out, who will fight for the front...Look at my slaughter Dragon Sword, kill!"

The border people are good at martial arts, and children play in small troubles on weekdays. The sticks in their hands are used as spears, and the branches picked at random are used as machetes. They have a great time playing.

Gongsun Zan frowned.

The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang next to him also had different expressions.

Liu Bei asked the child kindly, "Who told you to sing the ditty?"

The boy pointed to the traveling merchant and said, "It was taught by the uncle with the bow and arrow."

Gongsun Zan and the others looked at each other, and Zhang Fei said, "Interesting and interesting, the supreme martial artist, who can slay dragons with a sword, if there is such a magic weapon in this world, only the second brother can make it, hahaha."

Guan Yu frowned slightly, and squinted at Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and pretended to straighten his leggings.

Gongsun Zan glanced at Guan Yu, and suddenly said with a smile, "Yide's words reminded me that Brother Yun doesn't seem to have a weapon in his hand. I don't know what kind of kung fu Brother Yun is good at. Turn around and I will make a tailor for you." How about making one?"

Guan Yu shook his head lightly, and said: "Duke Ming's kindness, a certain heart has won, there is no distinction between good and bad weapons, I have a horse and lance is enough."

As soon as the words fell, a rich middle-aged man walked over.

This person was the traveling merchant of the Wei family, and he saluted Gongsun Zan with his fists clasped, and said with a smile, "This strong man is wrong. The strength of a strong man is [-] percent, and the strong man asks himself, if an ordinary horse can withstand a full blow from a strong man?"

Guan Yu's phoenix narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wei's traveling merchant, and said disdainfully: "For a certain person, all weapons in this world are common, and they are not as strong and durable as a certain pair of fists, so don't worry about it."

The merchant laughed loudly and said: "No, no, I'm afraid that when a strong man talks like this, he has never seen a real magic weapon. The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, the sword is the courage of a hundred soldiers, and the halberd is the weapon of a hundred soldiers." Pa.

I once heard that General Gongsun has a double-edged spear in his hand, which can break gold and crack rocks, and can wear a hundred armors without hindrance. The whole body is made of iron. The enemy has achieved the prestige of the White Horse General. "

Gongsun Zan nodded triumphantly, laughed and said, "That's right, I didn't expect the guard to be so well informed."

You Shangchao Gongsun Zan cupped his fists to salute, and then said to Guan Yu: "The physique of a strong man is different from ordinary people. If he can have a magic weapon to help him, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort if he wants to fight the enemy, right?"

Guan Yu's already flushed cheeks flushed even more, and he said resentfully, "Even so, I can't afford so much iron. If I make it at will, I don't want it."

Liu Bei looked ashamed, the three of them have fallen into today's situation, it has a lot to do with him, and iron, as the best refining material, is far more valuable than what he can afford today, even if he wants to be the second brother The third younger brother also had no intention of building weapons at this time.

At this time, the traveling merchant smiled with his beard and said leisurely: "Wei has a collection of 68 heavy wares, including knives, guns, sticks, bows, crossbows, axes and hammers. The name of the knife is Dragon Slaying, it weighs 54 catties, and it also has a sun-chasing bow, which can freely adjust the bow strength, the minimum is six stone bows, and the maximum can be sixteen stone, and those who are not born with supernatural powers cannot draw the bowstring to the full."

"This..." Guan Yu's expression changed, and the phoenix's eyes flickered.

Gongsun Zan next to him frowned and said, "Guard Wei, you are somewhat exaggerating, let alone whether there is such a magic weapon, a gun weighing more than [-] jin, a knife weighing more than [-] jin, ordinary people can lift it If you can’t get up, how can you go into battle and kill the enemy, and what’s more, the Sun Chaser Bow can’t be opened by an average person with six stones, and sixteen stones is even more inconceivable.”

Youshang was not annoyed when he heard the words, but looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said with a smile: "Does the general really think so? Wei does not agree. I think these two strong men are extraordinary. The weight of dozens of catties is nothing to them."

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and said nothing.

On the contrary, Zhang Fei was very moved, and asked back: "Your Wei family really has such a magical weapon, but why do you tell people everywhere, are you so poor that you sell family heirlooms?"

Others also wake up from a dream, yes, it's very good, why is Wei telling people about this everywhere?
Youshang laughed loudly when he heard the words: "To tell you the truth, there are indeed heavy weapons of magic weapons, but the owner of the family said that heavy weapons of magic weapons are for those who are destined to get them. If you can get the approval of magic weapons, I, Wei, will not take any money." So what if I send you off!"

"Send?" Zhang Fei exclaimed.

Guan Yu also frowned.

You Shang nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. When I came out, the Patriarch gave special instructions. The earth evil spirit is too heavy and hostile, so I must find a destined person as soon as possible. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't rush over to chat with you two. Yes, I think the two of you are very likely to be recognized by the divine soldiers, hehehe."

Zhang Fei licked his dry lips and couldn't help looking at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu still frowned at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Instead, Liu Bei suddenly asked: "This steward, I don't know if there are any additional conditions for this magic weapon to recognize the master?"

You Shang was stunned for a moment, but the patriarch didn't say anything, he just asked them to spread the news about the magic weapon.

After thinking for a while, he twisted his beard and said: "Since it is a predestined person to get it, there are naturally no restrictions. It is nothing more than a good relationship with my Wei family. It is not so difficult to accept."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard the words, and looked at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, "Big Brother, Second Brother, let's try it!"
