Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 422 This Winter
In the winter of the fourth year of Jian'an, the turbulent situation quietly calmed down again.This year, it was Cao Cao and Wu Shun who benefited.Cao Cao insisted on resisting Yuan Shao's pressure, drove Zhang Xiu away to the south, returned to the army and wiped out Lu Bu by the way.

The current Cao Cao Group can finally devote itself to dealing with the difficult matter of Yuan Shao going south.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao chose to stand still when Cao Cao used his troops, and missed the opportunity in vain.Now this is the time when the sky is freezing, and it is impossible to use soldiers at all.

It was Wu Shun who lived the most comfortable life.Liu Biao wanted to recover the face he lost after losing Huang Zhong, but in the end he lost Yidu County.The fighting power shown by the Wuling Army made Liu Biao have no intention of taking back Yidu County.

Yidu County, Zigui City.

Dongfangqiang received the transfer order and was about to leave.Huang Quan, Zhao Yun and others went out of the city to see them off.

"It's just going to guard Yidao County, there's no need to do this, right?"

Looking at the few people who were not very interested, Dongfang Qiang said.

Yidao County is not too far from Zigui, Huang Quan and Zhao Yun's expressions were as if Dongfang Qiang was about to travel far away.

"I wanted to ask General Dongfang for some advice on the art of war. It's a pity that the general is going to be stationed in Yidao County."

Dongfang Qiang, Huang Quan, and Zhao Yun were not familiar with each other at first, but after this period of contact, they were all moved by each other's ability and mind.

"When you are free, Mr. Huang can come to Yidao County to have a look. Isn't that also under your jurisdiction?"

Dongfang Qiang laughed.

Huang Quanming was both civil and military, but Wu Shun arranged an official position as a prefect.The army was not allocated, obviously it was busy with the civil servants.But this can't be blamed on Wu Shun, because there are too few talents in Yizhou who can govern.

It doesn't take much ability to govern a county.But to be in charge of a county's government affairs requires talents.

Because Huang Quan understands the art of war and can lead troops.So Wu Shun arranged him to Yidu County, in case there was another war, Huang Quan could still teach him and wait for help.

"General Dongfang, take care!"

Zhao Yun didn't talk much in the first place, and when Dongfang Qiang was about to leave, he cupped his fists and said something.

"Haha, Zilong, Zigui's safety is in your hands. Don't let the Qilin Legion disappoint you."

Dongfang Qiang laughed.

"Don't worry, general, with the Qilin Legion, Zigui will be at ease."

Zhao Yun assured Dongfang Qiang.

Although the Qilin Legion is not good at defense, they are elites. Since they can be called elites, what they are not good at does not mean they cannot do things.

"I hope Liu Biao can stay calm, otherwise this battle will still have to be fought."

After the Suzaku Legion left, Huang Quan sighed.If Liu Biao is unwilling to fail, Yidu County will surely fall into the flames of war.

Huang Quan knew very well that Wu Shun emphasized Dongfang to Yidao County in order to suppress Liu Biao.

"It's often heard that Liu Biao is a household dog. I'm afraid he won't dare to use troops against me in Yizhou."

Zhao Yun's idea is very simple.Liu Biao lost a county once he refused to accept it.Should not want to lose the second one.

……

As expected, Liu Biao didn't react when the Suzaku Army entered Yidao County.Even the Jingzhou Navy, which has been cruising on the Yuanjiang River all year round, has been less active recently.

Without interruption from the outside world, the navy's dock began construction work after the craftsmen were in place.

In order to speed up the progress, Gan Ning used the navy as migrant workers.Not only did the soldiers have no opinion, but they were full of enthusiasm.

The days when he was used as a pawn.It's what their sailors hate to mention the most.With a dock, warships can be built, and with warships, they are the real navy.

In order to come and go freely on the Yuanjiang River again, and to avenge the Jingzhou navy, the sailors worked overtime day and night, not afraid of the severe cold, and wanted to build the dock as soon as possible.

This winter, there will be no more wars.People who have been worried for a year can finally slowly tense their nerves and prepare to celebrate the new year with joy.

For various reasons, the princes have maintained great restraint.No friction at all.The Battle of Guandu, which was supposed to take place in June, was not fought because of a series of actions in Yizhou.

Even if the two sides of the Yellow River are already tense!

As the new year approaches, the princes also want to celebrate the new year safely, so as agreed, no one takes any radical actions.

Chengdu, the mansion of the general who conquered the west.

Diao Chan and Cai Yan, two beauties, one big and one small, are instructing the servants to decorate the mansion.A big red cloth belt is hung here, and a big red lantern is hung there.

After a lot of busy work, the entire General's Mansion became less solemn and more festive.

"Xiu'er, Wen Ji, do you want to play two games together?"

Tian Qian'er came out from the back room, grabbed the two beauties and refused to let go.

"Sister, we have no money..."

Cai Yan rubbed the corner of her clothes, and timidly refused.She is a weak woman, how dare she "offend" a female general like Tian Qian'er.

"I'll just lend it to you. Go for a walk. If you are idle, you will be idle. If you don't play mahjong, you will feel uncomfortable."

Tian Qian'er dragged the two of them into the house.It happened to be seen by Wu Shun who was passing by.

Cai Yan was tired of staying in the General's Mansion almost all day long. He pretended that he liked little Wu Hao and wanted to take Wu Hao to play, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was just an excuse Cai Yan made for the convenience of running to the General's Mansion.

"Qian'er, what are you doing?"

The three women chattered, two of them still looked unhappy.

"Husband, it's okay, you can go to work."

Tian Qian'er knew that Wu Shun had to go to the weapon shop to study warships every day, so she didn't raise her head.

"Bad guy, sister wants to get someone to play mahjong, don't you care?"

Seeing that Wu Shun had no intention of intervening, Cai Yan resigned.He directly shouted to Wu Shun who was about to take a step forward.

"Huh? Isn't playing mahjong fun? Why don't you two like it?"

Wu Shun turned to this head and asked.Doesn't this little girl usually like playing mahjong?

"Did something happen recently?"

Wu Shun was secretly surprised.

"It's not fun. My sister won all the money and the hairpin."

Cai Yan was crying.

"Qian'er won your money and hairpins when she won mahjong?"

Wu Shun asked.

"Husband, it's not fun to play mahjong without a lottery, so..."

"So you just won them both? Haha, Qian'er, you are really amazing!"

Wu Shun laughed.

"Hmph, villain! I don't care about you. Sister Xiu'er, let's go!"

Seeing Wu Shun facing Tian Qian'er, Cai Yan pulled Diao Chan out angrily with a small face.But Wu Shun stopped him first.

"How much did you lose? I can lend you some points, and you can win them back."

Wu Shun looked at Cai Yan, and felt that the little girl's angry look was very funny.

"I've already lost fifty times!"

Cai Yan said loudly:
"Sister Xiu'er lost even more."

Diao Chan lost so much that she kept silent, Wu Shun couldn't help but look at this peerless beauty.

"Xiu'er, you lost too?"

"Well, I lost a little bit."

"How much is a little?"

"Eighty times..."

Under Wu Shun's watchful eyes, Diao Chan's voice was thin and weak.Every time she faces Wu Shun, Diao Chan is very unnatural.

The servants of the General's Mansion had to admit in their hearts that this beautiful woman was one of their mistresses, and Diao Chan herself did not reject a title.

But Wu Shun just didn't explain it clearly, and the feeling was so vague that people wanted to catch it but couldn't.

"Don't you want to go out, sir? Come on, we're going to play mahjong."

After being stared at by Wu Shun for a long time, Diao Chan didn't know where to put his hands.He could only tell Wu Shun to leave quickly.

"Then go and play, here, take it."

Wu Shun really wanted to go to the weapon shop, so he didn't delay any longer, handed Diao Chan a money bag, and left.

"Sister, do you want me to ask my sister to help you talk about it, I can't stand it anymore."

Tian Qian'er patted Diao Chan who was distracted, and suggested.

She and Xiao Bai had already accepted Diao Chan and Cai Yan, but Wu Shun took their feelings into consideration and never went any further.
