Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 156 The illusion of life
early morning.

I feel the warm air blowing through my philtrum at an even frequency, itching.

Xu Jiashu woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Miss Cai's oval face, her cheeks were flushed, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, like the wings of a butterfly fluttering slightly.

So close, so defenseless.

The two of them were facing each other, and if either of them couldn't help but move a little forward, they would touch the tip of the other's nose.

According to the plot on TV, Xu Jiashu should have yelled like a silly dog ​​and jumped up from the couch. Then the two of them would blame each other and deny what happened last night.

But Xu Jiashu didn't.

Please, I have insomnia but not amnesia, and I am well-dressed, so why are you panicking?
He quietly looked at Miss Cai's sleeping face and couldn't move his eyes away at all - any healthy man who had never lived together could not refuse the scene in front of him.

However, there are some flaws
Xu Jiashu looked at the few strands of hair stuck to Cai Yan's forehead and felt a little unhappy.

It was late at night in Liangzhou in the winter, so it was naturally very cold. When Cai Yan lay down, he still kept a distance that he thought was "conforming to etiquette". He just separated a Chu River and a Han boundary on the cramped couch, but he fell asleep. As he fell asleep, like a cat eager for warmth, he slowly moved next to him.

If one person is cold, two people will be hot. Cai Yan is not used to sleeping so hot, so he sweats a little.

Xu Jiashu couldn't help but gently stretched out his hand to help her tuck her hair that was stuck with sweat behind her ears - this was a delicate job. If you weren't careful, you would bump into the sleeping girl. In order to ensure that there were no mistakes in the operation, he borrowed Under the dim sky, he got as close as possible, as seriously as if he was performing an operation.

The operation was a great success, and Cai Yan's smooth forehead was revealed.

At this time, Xu Jiashu was supporting his body with one hand and looking down at Miss Cai's beautiful side face. He felt that his blood volume was instantly full and he was being severely cured.

Even if I, Xu Zimao, die and am nailed in the coffin, I will still be in the tomb shouting the four characters "Long Live Pure Love" with my rotten vocal cords!
Who said there is no market for pure love? Just go get pure love for me!

He quietly lifted up the quilt and moved his body out little by little.

Feeling that there was suddenly a heat source missing next to her, Miss Cai, who had been struggling until early in the morning yesterday to fall asleep, frowned, but still did not wake up.

Xu Jiashu walked out, turned around and closed the door gently.

"call--"

let out a long breath.

Although he talks about having pure love, the fact is that as a modern person, Xu Jiashu is still too timid and dare not stay in there to sleep, lest he opens his eyes and finds Liu Ying lifting the quilt with a hatchet in his hand - ugh!Brother Cheng has no time to mourn for himself, so that future generations will mourn him; future generations will grieve without taking note of it, which will also cause future generations to mourn for future generations again.

At this time, Xu Jiashu did not realize that this kind of mentality was actually a good thing, which showed that his temperament was becoming stable.

He carefully walked back to his small courtyard - as the saying goes, white dew is like frost, the ground in the early winter morning was covered with a faint white color everywhere he could see.

Although the probability of falling to death due to slippery feet is not high, it is by no means zero.

I threw down the basin with the rope attached to it, fetched water from the well, and washed my face well.

Under the stimulation of the ice water, his thinking was indescribably clear and agile. To describe it in one word, he felt refreshed.

It's the right time to use your brain to think about things.

"Okay", Xu Jiashu patted his face and said to himself: "Come back to reality!"

In reality, nothing has happened yet. Even Ma Chao still doesn't know where to organize his army, let alone the bloody street battle in Chang'an City.

In other words, it's not too late.

Xu Jiashu began to think about his next move: based on the intelligence obtained yesterday, at least in the short term, Ma Chao is a character who does not need to worry.

Although the young general's ambitions are great, judging from the results in the simulation, Liangzhou alone is enough to keep him busy for many years.

Being able to fight is certainly a good thing, but when it comes to competing for the world, just being able to fight is not enough.

Since Xu Jiashu will not be backstabbed by this super young master, Xu Jiashu is not an unkind person, so it is natural to make friends with him.

Compared with Xiliang behind him, it is more important to seize the time to lay out Chang'an City. If there is less unnecessary pulling and testing with Ma Chao, Xu Jiashu can deal with Yang Qiu faster and intervene in Chang'an City earlier. affairs.

As for how to intervene specifically, that is a matter later.

Just one simulation is not enough to see future changes clearly. After all, the world is an unpredictable and complex system composed of countless interacting variables.

Because of the mutual connection, there will be no more than six people between you and any stranger; because of the complexity, a butterfly in the tropical rain forest can cause a tornado by occasionally flapping its wings.

In such a world, even Xu Jiashu, who is carrying a simulator, cannot guarantee that he can achieve a specific goal with certainty.

Not to mention anything else, after all his agencies in the simulation were exhausted, not only was there nothing he could do against Yuan Cao's alliance, he was also unable to do anything against the young emperor Liu Xie - even Boss Cao in history had nothing to do against Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He could only do it during his lifetime. After setting up the stage, I finally let my son do the work.

However, although Xu Jiashu cannot pursue specific goals, he can have a general direction.

For example, let everyone around you live a better life, at least better than in history.This is a direction that suits him very well.

Liu Ying could have a family, Cai Yan didn't have to be kidnapped by the Xiongnu, Lu Lingqi didn't have to almost marry Yuan Shu's son, and Gan Ning didn't have to wander around for half his life, being treated as a lifeless tool.
It may sound petty, but at least for Xu Jiashu now, this is enough.

There are too many people tempted by power, and that road is too crowded.

Dong Zhuo has died on the roadside. The leader is Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, followed by the princes of Guandong. At the end of the team is an ambitious young general who is arranging the army formation. He is really no less good than Xu Zimao.

The sun finally rises, and the cattle and horses in Wushi County wake up.

Xu Jiashu walked to the school grounds in high spirits and issued the first order after the autumn harvest.

"The whole army gathers!"

There was no need to wait for a moment, he went directly south to help the old otaku Yang Qiu go out and get some fresh air.

Hearing this, Lu Lingqi didn't say any nonsense, turned around and went back to inform her subordinates that after being in the army for so long, Miss Lu was already an outstanding soldier.

"What about me? Can I play with you?" The brown-haired ponytail girl who has always been a non-staff member was a little eager to try. She pointed at herself and asked, "Didn't you follow my brother to fight when you were an envoy?"

In fact, she just asked casually and didn't expect to get permission. After all, her brother would be here soon. What if she found out that her sister had gone to war?

Looking at Ma Yunluo's face, Xu Jiashu was in a trance - the most intense memory fragments were all with this person, and coupled with the impact of the death scene, he always felt that he owed other girls.

"You can go." Contrary to Ma Yunluo's expectation, Xu Zimao did not teach her a lesson or even put forward any harsh conditions. He just said: "Be careful, I can lend you my personal guard."

"Oh," she responded hesitantly.

How is this going?

In their previous relationship, although Ma Yunluan bothered Ma Chao on the pretext of looking for him, the relationship between the two was just that of ordinary friends, a brother's friend and a friend's sister.

Xu Zimao has never cared about her so actively!
A girl who has just begun to fall in love can't help but have one of the four major illusions in life: "He likes me!"

What if it's true?
Ma Yunluo is a little troubled and entangled, I don't want to fall in love so early, but he has pretty good conditions and is a capable person. It's not impossible if he takes the initiative.
"Why are you in a daze?" Xu Jiashu frowned and showed the majesty of a general, "Since you are going, then hurry up and don't miss the time!"

Only then did the brown-haired girl stop fantasizing and chase after Lu Lingqi in the direction of Lu Lingqi.

"Really", Xu Jiashu shook his head, "I haven't said that when a large corps fights, discipline must be strict."

Although there were days when they did not go on an expedition, under the turns of training by the three famous generals Xu Jiashu, Lu Lingqi and Gan Ning, the thousands of men in Bo Luo's army did not miss training.

In particular, the small landowners who have left their jobs have combined with the fine horses produced in Wushi County to form more than 500 elite cavalry, or knights. Under the leadership of Miss Lu, they are proficient in the tactics of Bingzhou Rangers. Ma Yunluo can also be used to lead them when necessary. There was an orthodox Xiliang cavalry charge, and their combat power was quite impressive.

After Xu Jiashu left the reception staff behind, the whole army set off and headed straight for Linjing and Jingyang counties.

Five days later.

Ma Chao's figure finally appeared outside Wushi County. The young general was high-spirited, wearing silver armor and white robes, wearing the iconic lion helmet, and carrying a tiger-headed golden gun. He walked in front of the army, majestic and from time to time. Looking back at the neat military formation that he had trained, he was filled with heroic pride.

"Captain Pang," he turned to Pang De behind him and asked, "Do you think Zi Mao is willing to defect to my Ma family after seeing this scene?"

After all, with such a cool army and such a cool young general, who can refuse to join and become a part of it?
"."

Pang De, who was half-dead from exhaustion and still being robbed of his credit, said he didn't want to pay attention to him. He looked forward, pointed at the top of the city and said, "Sir, there doesn't seem to be Xu Zimao up there."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ma Chao laughed, "How could Zimao and I be so close, how could he not come to greet me?"

"Why didn't Zimao come to greet me?" Ma Chao, who came with his head held high, saw that there was really only one scribe standing at the gate of the city. He felt aggrieved and frustrated, with the tassel of his lion helmet hanging down, "Have you forgotten the friendship of Jincheng County? "

"He asked me to inform Mr. Chao that Yang Qiu will be destroyed soon. When he comes back, we can talk to Mr. Chao about the past." Huan Jie looked at this young general who was so handsome that he didn't look like a mortal, and explained politely: "The fighter plane is fleeting, but I still hope to surpass Young Master Haihan."

Hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

There are many opportunities to reminisce about the past, but it is difficult to make such a spectacular appearance again.

It hurts, it hurts too much!
On the other side, Yang Qiu's army was attacking day and night.

Ma Yunluan was riding a horse at high speed, but she was thinking about irrelevant things. This was a piece of cake for her.

Since the expedition, Xu Zimao had taken great care of her. The food and rest were on the same level as him, the general. Although it could be explained by treating the envoy favorably, the girl clearly felt that something was wrong in his eyes!

It was a complex look, mixed with regret and guilt. A girl who was inexperienced in the world could not accurately interpret it, but she was involuntarily attracted by the deep pool-like eyes.

But when she was about to chat more with Xu Zimao, she found that he was deliberately avoiding her.
And there is no reason!

It was not easy to ask sister Lu Lingqi about this kind of thing. The brown-haired ponytail girl thought hard on her own, and after considering various signs, she came to a very reasonable conclusion.

Xu Zimao likes me!And it’s a secret love!
