The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 292: None of the women in the inner courtyard are simple!

As for the materials and consumables used to build the battleship, they have also roughly analyzed the news from the caravan.

In addition, the territory of Jiangdong is small, and many places still believe in barter, and money is not of much use to them.

As a result, for them, the most prominent and important thing is food!

After all, if you want to develop, you must first have a full stomach, and it is difficult for people in Jiangdong to even have a full stomach, so how can you talk about developing business and other things?
In addition, there are many ethnic minorities in the fringe area of ​​Jiangdong, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and rampant bandits, many institutions and rules cannot be promoted.

As the saying goes, troublesome people come out of poor mountains and rivers, nothing more than this.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Jiangdong, if you are a foreigner, you may not be able to tell who is a soldier and who is a bandit?

On the other hand, under the control of Xi Yu, Qing and Xu both perform their own duties, with a clear division of labor.

Even veterans like Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, have a lot of official documents to deal with every day.

So, they are not idle all day long.

Especially these days.

The [-] Baibo army gathered in Hedong and the million bandits in Taihang Mountain added up to millions of people, and they were all under the jurisdiction of the two of them.

In fact, in the early years, the bandits in Yanzhou and Jizhou were wiped out several times by Cao Cao and even Yuan Shao, so after meeting Xu Chu and Dian Wei, they didn't need to spend too much thought to collect them all.

It's just that they are all bandits, and they are used to sneaking around. Even if they are recovered, they will cause some troubles from time to time, causing the nearby people to worry.

If Dian Wei and Xu Chu hadn't been intimidated, I don't know what big trouble they could have caused.

Of course, over the past few years, there are many elderly people among them. They can no longer stay and fight in the barracks, so they can only retire and return home.

For these existences that make people hate it, but kill the Quartet during the war, everyone still has some tolerance for them.

In addition, in the past few years, there was a precedent for veterans in Qingzhou to return to their hometown after returning from the army. Among these people, anyone who is over 30 years old and willing to take the money to leave will take the money and leave, and those who are willing to stay in the army for a few more years will be able to do so. Stay safe in the army.

In order to manage these people, Dian Wei and Xu Chu also took some thought.

However, this does not mean that after the two of them left, Xiapi and even the soldiers were left alone.

What's more, they treat these people as piggybacking.

The people who really kept the two of them busy, or those who were in the sky, were actually Taishan County, which Xi Yu used in the name of the Son of Heaven, and other people who rushed here after hearing the news.

A total of 30 shi of grain will be distributed in various counties and counties without any private storage. As long as someone in your family joins the army, you can get these grains in the military camp.

Hearing this news, where in the surrounding counties can people sit and live?

Especially when it is learned that the people in charge of distributing these grains are the world-famous generals Xu Chu and Dian Wei!
The two men have spent their entire lives as soldiers, and they have made great military exploits. They are existences admired by the people of the world. The two of them are responsible for this matter, so the news will naturally not be false.

Therefore, there are not too many people who come to Qingxu and want to join the army.

Of course, out of admiration and respect for these two generals, none of them felt dissatisfied when they queued up to receive food. As for making troubles, that was even more nonsense.

And it is not just Xiapi that has such a grand occasion.

The whole Qingxu territory... is like this!
"Okay, if you want to distribute food, the two of you have almost handled it. If you want to go, let's go together!"

Xi Yu raised his hand to stop the laughter and cursing of several people, and then said: "It's almost time, the trip to Jiangdong is a long way away, you go back and make some preparations, we will start tomorrow."

"but······"

As Xi Yu said, he turned his head to look at the two of them, hesitatingly said: "I don't know who you two plan to hand over to who will handle the matter in hand?"

"How about Yanzhou Zangba?"

Huang Xu had an idea, and said: "He is very good at running the army, and you have given him an official position, he is also a loyal person!"

"In addition, he has previous experience in dealing with bandits and interceptors. Born as a strongman, he should be able to deter those guys."

"Wonderful!"

Guo Jia nodded with a smile, and continued: "In addition to military affairs, we also need to pay attention to government affairs. I also want to go with me this time, so brother Kong Ming is left alone to guard."

"Internal affairs are sure to be safe, but it will be safer to keep one!"

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome!"

Zhuge Liang got up immediately, waved his hands, and said, "I can do it."

"Hey! What's the problem?"

Jia Xu looked at the crowd, raised his big hand, and then patted his general's belly, shouting hungry, and said: "After I go back and eat and drink, I will replace General Huang Zhong, and I will partner with Kong Ming. "

"So it's worth the trouble."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, smiled and bowed his hands to Jia Xu, then looked at Guo Jia, smiling brightly, with a little gratitude in his eyes.

As expected of an old buddy who has worked together for so many years, he really knows himself best!
He knew very well in his heart that Feng Xiao's main reason for asking the general to sit in Xiapi was to let him have no worries about handling government affairs.

After all, the military generals who could intimidate the three armies have all left. Not only is it difficult for me as a literati to meddle in military affairs, but I am also easily provoked and bullied by some thorns.

Even if he is talented and unparalleled in counselors, he can be regarded as a famous existence in the world, but it is hard to say whether a scholar meets a soldier.

If it wasn't for his own safety, Guo Jia wouldn't say that much if he thought about it.

"Brother Fengxiao, you have a heart!"

"Brother Kong Ming, please be polite."

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands, Guo Jia waved his hands, the two were brothers and friends respectful, and the people around couldn't help but click their tongues.

Even the corners of Xi Yu's mouth cracked open. Speaking of which, the relationship between the two is really good.

It seems that in the future, the two prominent families around me, the Guo family and the Zhuge family, have already taken shape.

······
At the end of spring, because of the many dowry gifts to be prepared, and the meeting and discussion with Sun Quan, everyone planned to leave early.

Because Xi Yu is the Duke of Sheng, his status is far beyond the reach of anyone in Jiangdong, so he only brought a thousand soldiers with him this time.

Among them, the heavy dowry and even the food and grass are all in the charge of the dead, but the convoy running the food and grass is saved.

That night, after Xi Yu shared some fun with his eleven concubines, he sat quietly in the hall and watched the flowers and plants not far away.

Because he was surrounded by his own people, he was dressed casually at the moment.

Beside him, the many women who were sitting, standing, or kneeling beside him were all beautiful and charming, and their charms were natural.

Among them, Ganmei is the most dignified and graceful.

At this moment, if Dian Wei or Zhao Yun were here, they would be surprised that these ladies, like the lord, never showed their real age at all.

All of them looked like they were in their [-]s and [-]s, the most beautiful age.

I don't know how they managed to freeze their age in the most beautiful posture.

"Husband!"

Gan Mei's white teeth are light, her skin is fair, and her cheeks are rosy. Standing with Zhen Mi, she looks like the cold radiance of the bright moonlight at night.

"Sister Xian'er said that the most important thing for you to go to Jiangdong this time is not to take concubines, but to be careful of Marquis Wu. If he has malicious intentions, he will detain you..."

A person stood up slowly from his side, and walked directly opposite, with a light gauze and white dress swaying in the wind, like a goddess in the nine heavens.

"Hahaha, Xian'er is worthy of being the queen of Cao Gong, she is really smart!"

Xi Yu raised his head, his eyes flickered slightly, and he understood this meaning well.

To be honest, he is not surprised at all that Sun Quan has such thoughts, and he even has guessed it for a long time.

But even so, so what?
"Xian'er!"

Xi Yu called softly, without looking at anyone.

Speaking of which, the age difference between him and Cao Xian is quite large, and besides Cao Xian, he also has a younger sister Cao Jie in his family.

Coupled with Cao Ang who has already taken office in Qingzhou, these three people are the last blood of the Cao family under Xi Yu's hands.

In fact, this is what Cao Cao thought back then.

Knowing that Cao Pi may not be in the same heart as Xi Yu, even if he passed the great cause to his son, he did not forget to leave Xi Yu behind.

Of course, it is more likely to want to leave a queen for the Cao family.

Therefore, Cao Xian was married to Xi Yu, and at the same time, Cao Ang was ordered to follow her. One is to learn the most advanced knowledge in the world, and the other is to preserve the blood of the Cao family.

At the very least... it won't be the case that the two sides are enemies, and the children and grandchildren will not be cut off.

Hearing his call, Cao Xian, who was wearing a long lavender dress, put down the fruit plate in his hand, got up slowly, and then walked in front of him.

The woman's hair was casually pulled into a loose bun, and a lavender hairpin was inserted obliquely. She was dressed in purple silk, which made her look elegant and noble. The collar was narrow, revealing a snow-white and slender neck. .

There are small pale pink gardenias embroidered on Luo Yi, which looks a bit casual but elegant, with a little powder and daisy applied, and the vermilion lips are not too red, elegant and refined, charming but not charming.

Seemingly calm, she stood gracefully in front of Xi Yu, but in fact, her face was flushed, her eyes were as soft as silk, and she was extremely shy when she was watched by her sisters and husband.

Perhaps because she was in the courtyard and there were no outsiders, she dressed quite casually. Of course, other women also dressed as Xi Yu, casually.

"Sister, what's wrong? How can you look at your husband so shy?"

Guo Zhao looked at her not far away and thought it was funny, so he came over decisively and put his arm around her shoulders, laughing and joking.

When Cao Xian heard this, his face was as red as the morning glow, and his words were like flies and mosquitoes flapping their wings.

"Xian... Xian'er is pregnant..."

After finishing speaking, she buried her head deeply into her collarbone, but the ladies around her danced happily.

"Ah! This is great news!"

On the side, two sisters with exactly the same body and appearance walked over arm in arm, with a bit of joy on their faces.

The two had been playing the qin and flute by the side just now, and they got up only after hearing the good news.

Surrounded by many flowers, Xi Yu smiled lightly and said, "No wonder you look like this, I just said you didn't look like this in the past."

"Husband~"

Cao Xian yelled softly, then looked shyly at the sisters around him. It took a while before he dared to raise his head, and said to Xi Yu: "Husband going here is extremely dangerous, Xian'er thinks we can send sailors Sheng Huang and Ta Xing Follow from the Lujiang River and frighten Jiangdong!"

"After you enter the territory of Jiangdong, they will guard the shore until they see you safely. In addition, some soldiers may be entrained in the merchant ships heading to Jiangdong for emergencies."

"My concubine is pregnant right now. This son is your youngest son for the time being. The child is innocent. The old people say that the youngest son is the most favored. Even if it is for these thirteen sons, you must come back safely!"

"Who says it's not, my husband, you must not have any accidents in Jiangdong!"

After Da Qiao finished speaking, Xiao Qiao followed closely, saying: "Speaking of Jiang Dong, I heard that the younger sister who married this time is not a simple character!"

When Da Qiao heard this, he immediately patted Xiao Qiao, showing displeasure.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao snorted lightly, but didn't say any more.

Although the two sisters look similar in appearance, their personalities are very different. The elder Qiao is gentle and intellectual, while the younger Qiao is cheerful and lively.

Just as the little action of the two sisters was over, the door of the side room creaked and was opened from the inside.

Then a woman in white walked out, her yellow hair became more dazzling under the moonlight.

Even with a veil, the high nose bridge and light brown pupils are surprising.

This kind of exotic style, national beauty and heavenly fragrance may be ugly to the aesthetics of the current people, and may even be demonized, but in Xi Yu's eyes, it is a rare style.

Different from the broad frame and height of women in the Central Plains, at a glance, they give people a sense of heroism among women of the race, free and easy.

Her skin color is also somewhat different from that of Xian'er and other women, not only is she not fair, but also slightly yellowed. She may not be as weak as other women, but she also has a unique flavor.

It looks like a strong wind and strong grass, but it is somewhat similar to Lu Lingqi, the daughter of a general.

This is Huang Yueying, the treasure that Huang Chengyan held in his hands growing up. She has both ability and political integrity, and is extremely intelligent.

The most important thing is that Xi Yu likes it quite a lot.

Because in his opinion, good-looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a million, especially her exotic style that is different from the aesthetics of the current era and her wisdom far beyond ordinary people.

"A large number of catapults and kerosene can be placed on the building boat. When necessary, the entire Jiangdong will be directly turned into a sea of ​​flames!"

A simple sentence shocked the surrounding sisters.

"This... Sister Yueying, it's not like this..."

"That's right, if Jiangdong is really turned into a vast ocean of fire, how will my husband come back?"

"Sister Yueying, more important than attacking Jiangdong is the safe return of your husband. Why don't we change our minds?"

"..."

When everyone said something to each other, Huang Yueying lowered her head silently, but after a while, she raised her head, stared at Xi Yu with blazing eyes, and said, "Let the black knight disguise as a businessman and sneak in before you." Jiang Dong captured the Sun family brothers alive!"

"This is not allowed, sister Yueying, the husband is going to Jiangdong this time to get married, not to fight!"

Gan Mei hugged Huang Yueying's waist with a smile, and said softly: "Why don't you go with your husband? I think with your intelligence, you will be able to think of a perfect plan for your husband!"

"Then I'll go too!"

Lu Lingqi who didn't know when she came stood aside and said in a deep voice.

She is Lu Bu's daughter - Lu Lingqi.

Ever since she married her husband and lived in the inner courtyard, she has always depended on each other for life with her little mother, and she can be regarded as the head of the west courtyard.

In recent years, Xi Yu occasionally visited their mother and daughter in the west courtyard when she was free.

Only when he came to the west courtyard, the little lady Diaochan would be a little bit interested. The husband and the young lady can talk about the philosophy of ginseng from poetry and poetry, so happy.

Although it is said that only the few days when he comes every month, the little mother will laugh heartily, but as the wife of the husband, since she has made up her mind to follow her for the rest of her life, she should take it as the most important thing and consider him wholeheartedly.

After all, since ancient times, there has never been a reason for the husband to die and the wife to live, not to mention that I am not a regular wife, at most a wife.

Therefore, instead of worrying about the inner court, it is better to follow the husband and protect him from danger at any time.

"What are you doing..."

Seeing the expectant faces of all the girls, Xi Yu was at a loss for a while, then couldn't laugh or cry.

Speaking of the group of women around me, don't look at them all well-behaved and docile, just like everyone's ladies, but in fact none of them are simple.

There are those who have practiced martial arts since childhood and have extraordinary looks!There are those who are familiar with famous books through the ages and who are well versed in strategy!There are also those who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are not inferior to today's celebrities!

Thinking about it this way, and then looking at the many beautiful faces in front of him, Xi Yu suddenly felt that his backyard seemed very complicated!

The most important thing is that after listening to Lu Lingqi's words, they all began to argue endlessly in order to follow her to Jiangdong.

One by one, they did not give in, tried their best and used various methods.

Acting like a baby, crying, pouting, flattering...

For a moment, Xi Yu felt as if he was Tang Monk who had entered Pansi Cave——

Do not!
Maybe... even happier than Tang Seng!
In the end, he lost his temper, so Xi Yu had no choice but to choose two of them as his wife's representatives, and went to Jiangdong with him.

"You guys, you really like to mess around, that's enough, since the business has been finished, you all go back, Lingqi, Yueying, don't forget to pack your luggage, and leave early tomorrow morning."

"As for tonight, I'll rest at Xian'er's place. I'm going on a long trip when Xian'er is just pregnant, so I have to talk to the child, right?"

Xi Yu smiled and got up from among the many women, then left with Cao Xian in his arms.

He said he wanted to talk to the child, but in fact the child in Cao Xian's stomach was not even an embryo, so it was useless for him to say anything.

The reason why I took Cao Xian back was to explain some things.

Although this girl is not the main wife, she is a rare and transparent person.

Moreover, when she does anything, she can know what she knows and relax.

This is not a skill that ordinary people can possess.

After she leaves, she should feel at ease as much as the inner court entrusts her.

······
Early the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, the welcoming team headed by Xi Yu set off.
