Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 258 252. New Year's Eve
"Um……"

Zhou Bai put his hand on Guan Yinping's wrist and closed his eyes to feel Guan Yinping's pulse. Feng Xi and Guan Yinping were not conservative people, and they would not refuse to see a doctor just because they needed to have some contact.

Guan Yinping seemed to be in some physical abnormality recently, so Feng Xi immediately asked Zhou Bai, who was currently the most skilled, to help Guan Yinping with her treatment.

"Congratulations, ma'am, congratulations to the Grand Commander, it's a pregnancy pulse."

Zhou Bai only took a few breaths before naturally withdrawing his hand and standing up to congratulate Feng Xi and Guan Yinping.

"Dean Zhou, do you mean... Yinping is... pregnant?"

Feng Xi couldn't believe it, and Guan Yinping also looked incredulous. They had been married for only two months, and although they were newlyweds and it was their first time tasting the forbidden fruit, they had been partying almost every night, but she was pregnant?

"Indeed, I will write a few prescriptions for nourishing the fetus later. The Grand Commander can have someone fetch them and give them to Madam after they are cooked to nourish the fetus in her belly. Madam should also take care of her health and not wield swords or engage in strenuous activities."

Zhou Bai gave Feng Xi and his wife some careful instructions, asked for paper and pen, wrote down a prescription and gave it to Feng Xi, then said goodbye to them and went back to continue teaching.

"This... Yinping, this is a bit sudden..."

Feng Xi handed the prescription to the housekeeper and asked him to deal with it, while he helped Guan Yinping sit down. Originally, neither of them thought it was a big deal, but now that they knew Guan Yinping was pregnant, they became hesitant again, fearing that they would get hurt.

"Hmm... nerd, I'm going to be a mother..."

It is obvious that Guan Yinping has not been able to prepare for this change in identity, but her movements and tone have become much gentler.

"It's okay, just take care of it first. It's still early for summer, and I'll take the time to spend more time with you."

Feng Xi estimated that Guan Yinping would be giving birth before he went to war, so he could spend more time with him. When he thought about being a father for the first time after two lives, Feng Xi was a little overwhelmed.

There weren't many activities to do in winter in ancient times. Even in today's Jingzhou where there is relative peace and prosperity, the people can only chat and gossip while sleeping on their warm beds, or at worst listen to what interesting things are in the newspaper today.

It has to be said that the influence of the media is still very large. After several months of newspaper baptism, the people of Jingzhou can recite the deeds of Liu Bei and his three brothers by heart. Many people are inspired by their loyalty and righteousness, which indirectly improved the public security in Jingzhou a lot.

Many embarrassing stories of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Cao Pi, and even Sun Jian and Sun Ce were published in the "Secret Stories" with great fanfare, and the people used them as a joke after dinner. Although Cao Wei and Dongwu both banned "Secret Stories" from entering their respective territories, people are alive, and those merchants occasionally added fuel to the fire, and these news could still be spread to the territories of the two families. Sichuan also received a lot of Feng Xi's improved technology, so the development of Sichuan did not fall behind. In fact, because Xichuan was richer than Jingzhou, it even had a tendency to surpass Jingzhou in many aspects.

Jiaozhou was completely incorporated into the rule of the Han Dynasty. Hatred is like a chain, once it starts, it is difficult to stop. Compared with the "outside" Han people, the "traitors" who betrayed their compatriots are undoubtedly more hateful. The situation is so abnormal that many people actively cooperate with the Han Dynasty in order to fight against their compatriots.

In addition, Feng Xi's books supporting Jiaozhou and some literati arrived in Jiaozhou, and the process of sinicization was instantly accelerated. Many Cham people were no longer "Cham people", but "Han people". After all, you speak Chinese and consider yourself Han, so aren't you Han?
As the situation changed, the once arrogant Cham people began to lose the upper hand. With the Han people suppressing them from outside, and people constantly seeking to become Han people, and their own people watching them from within, ready to report and expose them, and attack each other, the Cham people were completely torn apart, and it was only a matter of time before they were divided and integrated by the Han people.

Nanzhong was completely silent, as if Meng Huo had really given up his ambition and started to manage his own piece of land. However, both Zhuge Liang and Feng Xi knew that things were not that simple.

Feng Xi knew that Meng Huo was captured and released seven times by Zhuge Liang, so how could he give up so easily? If Zhuge Liang had not said that Nanzhong would be handed over to him, Feng Xi would have wanted to assassinate Meng Huo and mess up Nanzhong in the same way.

Zhuge Liang also sent some more troops to Yongchang and other southern counties to prevent being caught off guard like last time. However, Zhuge Liang seemed to want to take a conciliatory approach, but given Meng Huo's character, he had to subdue him first.

The situation in Jiangdong is not very good. It will take some time to train the new recruits. In addition, many generals in Jiangdong were killed and captured by Feng Xi, so these vacancies need to be filled.

At the same time, Sun Quan was also considering his own retreat. He knew that Feng Xi was like a tiger sharpening its claws and fangs, ready to rush over and tear him apart at any time. But Sun Quan didn't want to surrender...

In the north, Cao Wei, the most powerful force, was in a state of rebellion among the farmers in Hebei and even the Central Plains because of the poor autumn harvest this year and Feng Xi's media offensive. Cao Wei was unable to take care of itself and had no time to take care of the other two forces. It could only ask Cao Xiu, Cao Ren, and Cao Zhen to strengthen the defense.

As the three families were on guard against each other, time passed from 221 AD to 222 AD. It was four years before Cao Pi died of illness, which was the time of the Battle of Yiling in history. However, Lu Xun should have been born by now, and Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, who were supposed to die, were still alive.

Zhou Bai's hospital was also developing well. He invited several of his fellow apprentices to come and teach many students medical skills. Under the publicity of the "Dahan Daily", many people from all over the country came to learn medicine. Some hoped to make a living, and some hoped to really be able to cure diseases and save lives. Regardless of their purpose, the number of doctors under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou has indeed increased.

What is more interesting is that Zhao Lei came back once, and Zhou Bai recognized Zhao Lei as the unconscious patient in Zhou Village. Zhao Lei was unconscious at that time, but after he woke up, he heard from the people in Zhou Village that a disciple of Zhang Zhongjing from outside had saved him. So he thanked Zhou Bai in person, which was also a wish come true.

The way of cooking has also changed because of Feng Xi's promotion. Now, whether in Sichuan or Jingzhou, in addition to the most basic steaming, there are also roasting, frying, stir-frying and other skills. Many talented people have made rapid progress in their skills, and the dining tables of officials and ordinary people have become richer.

In such an atmosphere, Feng Xi spent a relatively warm New Year for the first time.
