My Wife of the Three Kingdoms is Wu Sheng

69 chapter

On a freezing morning, on the Xuzhou city tower, a group of Xuzhou officials looked at the Wujiabao people who had gone away, and couldn't help rubbing their hands and stamping their feet to resist the severe cold.

"Everyone is gone." Tao Lin said lightly.

As if they had received an amnesty, everyone bid farewell to Tao Lin and Cao Hong, leaving only Cao Hong, Tao Lin, Mi Zhu and others.

Tao Lin, Cao Hong and Mi Zhu looked at each other for a while, and it was Mi Zhu who spoke first: "Master Inspector ordered me to send another elite army to Luoyang to seek rebellion. What do you two think?"

Cao Hong interjected: "Now Xuzhou soldiers and horses are not counted among the [-] elites taken away by Lord Inspector. Most of the remaining ones have just gone through more than a month of bloody battles, and they are already exhausted and unbearable to fight again..."

Tao Lin looked at Cao Hong in surprise, and asked, "But the front line is defeated, and Tao Gong'an is in danger like a cliff. Even if there are still soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, they should go to help!"

Cao Hong nodded and said with a smile: "Meng Chang misunderstood. Mr. Tao is the lord of Xuzhou, so there must be no mistakes. The other princes are unreliable. We have to wait for Erlang from Xuzhou to go. However, Zang Lin is the leader of the army. , but I will never evacuate Xuzhou's defenses because of public affairs and private interests. If Xuzhou makes a mistake, we will die! Therefore, this expedition must have external help!"

Mi Zhu and Tao Lin had already planned in their minds, and after hearing what Cao Hong said, they already understood that the three wanted to be together.

"But Liu Yang and Thunderbolt?" Mi Zhu still pointed to the northwest to confirm.

Cao Hong nodded: "Although Zang Lin was the commander in charge in the battle of Xiapi, these two men contributed a lot. Although Liu Yang is not well-known, he is very talented in planning and planning. Although Wu Na is a girl, but But he was unstoppable. Wu Jiabao is not Xuzhou's regular army, but he is also Tao Gong's minister, this time he rushed to help, if the two of them help each other with one piece of paper and one weapon, maybe it will make things easier for Tao Gong."

Mi Zhu and Tao Lin's heart skipped a beat, what the three of them really thought coincided with each other.

The three belonged to Tao Qian's subordinates, although they had their own responsibilities and calculations, but at the moment when it was related to Xuzhou's safety, they had surprisingly similar calculations because they had some common interests.

"At Tao Gong's side, whether Dong Zhuo or the allied army is dispatching troops at the moment, resting and reorganizing the generals, and gathering enough strength to fight again, there will be no more major battles in ten days and a half months...In this case, let's Let the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou take a good rest, and at the same time prepare the food and grass for the horses, and set off in the next year... Well, in a few days, someone will convey our intentions to Wujiabao." Cao Hong took a look. Zang Lin, who stayed with Tao Yu not far away, said.

"That's what I mean too. I'll get someone to start preparing!" Mi Zhu clasped his fists at the two of them, turned and left.

Tao Yu turned around wearily and sighed.

Zang Lin patted Tao Yu's shoulder lightly, and said: "This time I led troops to Xiapi, and Xuzhou was empty. Thanks to you who stepped forward at the critical moment, Xuzhou did not fall into the hands of the rebels. Otherwise, this time When I come back, I won’t be able to see my sister, brother-in-law and my lovely nephew.”

Tao Yu said melancholy: "What a small victory, my life is actually a failure..."

Looking at the Wujiabao that was getting closer and closer, no matter if it was the old people of Wujiabao like Zhang Yang Wu Na, or the Huangjin who had just returned, they couldn't help being excited, and their steps couldn't help but lighten up.

At this time, a young man came with two strong soldiers on horseback, and the young man from a distance got off his horse and shouted excitedly while running: "Cousin, master, you are back, I miss you so much! "

This boy is the eldest son of Wu Na's fourth uncle Wu You, Wu Na's cousin, Zhang Yang's book fan and apprentice, Wu Ju, who is 14 years old this year, is a dark, honest and cheerful young man just like his father.

Wu Na and Zhang Yang slowed down their horses. Looking at Wu Ju who was delighted in front of the horse, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "We've been walking for so long. I don't know if your skills have improved. I'll be more careful when I go back!"

Wu Ju touched his head and laughed, and said, "Let's go back quickly, the family is waiting impatiently."

At this moment, the gates of Wujiabao had been opened wide, and the top and bottom of the city were crowded with people. When they saw a black line appearing in the sky, they couldn't help cheering.

A month ago, their eldest lady led no more than 500 troops to the expedition, but now she brought back [-] soldiers and horses, as well as countless carts of grain and rice. The people couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Wu Lie, Wu Yi and Wu You couldn't help being excited to see such a huge benefit.

"Brother, we made a fortune this time! With these grains and grass, we will have a better life this winter!" Wu You couldn't help saying with his eyes shining and his breath out.

Wu Lie nodded and said, "Yes, there is no need to starve to death..."

After arranging the accommodation for the soldiers and horses, unloading and moving the carts and carts of corn, Wu Lie ordered to go down, and today the whole castle will have extra meals regardless of status, and there will be enough wine, food and hot soup!When the news came out, the whole city suddenly fell into a sea of ​​joy.People who have been struggling for many days on the death line of hunger and cold finally ushered in their festival today!

After arranging these, of course, the next step is to have a banquet and drink.

Attendees included Wu Lie, Wu Yi, Wu You, Wu Na Zhang Yang, Qian Ning, Long Fei Long Yang, and Liao Huaboxiu.

Wu Jiabao's pursuit is to have a full stomach, and he has no conditions to pay attention to other things.Nowadays, the popular life and even banquets in the upper class are low cushions, on which the guests and hosts kneel, but now ten people sit around a "round table" made by Wujiabao's own craftsmen, and set the table. The ten "chairs" seem to be a common gathering in later generations.

Of course, the manufacture of round tables and chairs cannot do without Zhang Yang's suggestions and pointers.The seat is simple and practical, and is very popular among Wujiabao people.

Now everyone from the castle owner to ordinary people, and even Bi Mawen from the stable where Zhang Yang stayed have prepared two chairs for resting their feet.

Although Zhang Yang's pioneering work is crude, it can be said that it contains almost no technical content, but it is still admired by those craftsmen.Based on the situation at the time, if Zhang Yang hadn't been so quick, I'm afraid those craftsmen would have wanted to learn from Zhang Yang.

Everyone in the Wujiabao, from people to animals, has been starved for more than half a month, and most of the things that can be used to satisfy their hunger have been turned into food. Only after turning the castle upside down did they come up with a set of dishes, and most of them are meat, which is rare. See green fruits and vegetables.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively, and every word you said to me quickly became active.

Wu Na gave a brief review of the big and small incidents that happened along the way during the month when she led her troops to leave Wujiabao. Although her tone was flat, she couldn't hide the thrilling scenes at all.

Everyone was moved after listening, but only a bowl of strong wine can express their respect at Qianyanwanyu.

When the wine was in full swing, Wu Lie picked up a bowl of wine, stood up slowly, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "This time, Wu Jiabao, thanks to everyone! Not much else to say, I will drink three glasses by myself first, as a token of appreciation." gratitude!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Lie drank it down in one gulp, then lifted the wine jar and added two more bowls, and drank it down in one gulp.

Immediately there was applause and applause, Wu Lie put down the bowl, casually wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said loudly and solemnly: "Now that Wujiabao has everyone's support, it is no longer the bandit with a bleak future. It’s a nest. I believe that as long as we all work together and form a rope, we will definitely seal off our wives and sons and achieve a great cause—I am now announcing my appointment decision—let Liu Yang be Li Wulang and have the right to Inquiring about Wujiabao's military drills, transfers and other matters—Ruyi, are you willing to stay and help me?"

Looking at Wu Lie's burning eyes, Zhang Yang glanced at Wu Na again, Wu Na gave him a threatening look, and Zhang Yang replied loudly without hesitation: "I am willing! Liu Yang sees the lord!"

Although Zhang Yang is not used to paying homage and bowing, does he have a choice now?

Wu Lie hurriedly supported Liu Yang joyfully, and said excitedly: "As a companion, Wu Jiabao is like a tiger with wings added!"

"My lord, the prize is too high..." Zhang Yang said humbly.

Then Wu Lie continued: "If Liao Hua is appointed as a general, Yuan Jian is willing to help me?"

Liao Hua stood up and punched Wu Lie heavily, and replied loudly, "Liao Hua is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the master!"

"Ren Boxiu is a partial general, is Changde willing to help me?"

"Bo Xiu sees the lord, and is willing to follow the lord around, even if he dies!"

When he saw Qian Ning, Wu Lie paused for a moment, remembering what his daughter said, and then sighed: "Brother Chongde, we are bosom friends, and you are my Yinger's tutor. You entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, but after hearing what Yinger said, I know that there is something wrong with morality...Since this is the case, I will not force others, but I still implore you to stay in Wujiabao. Qianjiacun. Among other things, with our friendship, three meals a day are still enough!"

Qian Ning bowed his hands gratefully to Wu Lie, then picked up a bowl of wine, and said, "Thank you, brother Li, for your understanding, I am very grateful!"

After speaking, Qian Ning drank half a bowl of wine in one gulp.Wu Lie also drank down the wine in his hand.

Finally, it was the turn of the Long family father and son. Wu Lie held a bowl of wine and said to them sincerely: "If Feidi hadn't rescued me back then, my three Wu Lie brothers would have died at the bottom of the river long ago. Afterwards, Brother Fei took in and helped us. How can I have what I am today in Wujiabao? This time, my brother Fei and my nephew helped me a lot! Brother Fei thinks it’s a repayment, let’s drink this bowl of wine first!"

Long Fei didn't clink bowls with Wu Lie for a drink in the slightest unhappiness, only Long Yang's face was a little stiff.

After drinking, I thought that Wu Lie would continue to say some words of gratitude, so Long Fei took the opportunity to say, "I don't ask for anything in return, I only ask Brother Ang that you can fulfill the promise you made at the beginning."

But Wu Lie changed the subject and continued: "Nowadays the Han Dynasty is in decline, the people are in chaos, and the feudal lords are separatist. This is a golden opportunity for my son to catch up and make contributions. Although my family background is humble, my military discipline is strict and rewards and punishments are strict. Clearly, as long as I do my best to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, I will never be stingy with rewards! ——Follow me, although you will die, but in this troubled world, if you don’t stand up, you will die faster. Why not fight vigorously with this cannibalistic world. When you are old, you can still proudly say to your grandchildren, 'Your grandpa has been a hero all his life!'—Everyone, do it!"
