Chapter 639: Empress Wen Zhao Enters the Vegetable Garden and Zhen Ji Picks Vegetables! [Ask for Monthly Votes]
Chapter 639 Queen Wen Zhao enters the vegetable garden—Zhen Ji pulls vegetables! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
"It's strange that Yuan Shao didn't burn down the city and take the people away."
In the city, Song Xian was riding on his horse, looking at the people "welcoming the king" with a smile on his face. He had captured the first fortified city in the north, just like in a dream.
Cao Xing said:
"Do you think Yuan Benchu doesn't want to lead his people across the river to clear the country? It's because the people here don't want to follow them, and if Yuan Shao really wants to bring disaster to Yecheng, then General Yuwen will never let him survive tonight."
While the two were chatting, Yuwen Chengdu was reporting the results of the battle to Chang'an in the camp outside the city. By the way, he also mentioned the reason why Yuan Shao let go:
"Yuan Benchu has a very high reputation among the nobles. If he is killed directly, it will cause the mourning of the nobles all over the world. After a few years, he may be a myth... So I plan to let him go and let him live a bad life, but If he can't die, as time goes by, the nobles will no longer sympathize with him, but look forward to his death. "
Jia Xu and Guo Jia's plan was to kill Yuan Shao and then create a series of short stories to ruin Yuan Shao's reputation.
Anyway, the dead cannot speak. As long as the court has the right to speak, it can describe it at will.
However, Yuwen Chengdu felt that this was not thorough enough. If he wanted to completely ruin Yuan Shao's reputation, he had to do it himself.
For example, before he fled in a hurry this time, he wrote various letters asking for help. It can be seen from the intercepted letters that Yuan Benchu still pretended to be the leader of the alliance, but his words already revealed the meaning of pleading.
But this is not enough. He must be beaten into a bereaved dog. The humble attitude of the letter for help written by him will definitely disenchant the world's scholars.
Over in Chang'an, Xun Yu and Guo Jia heard this and felt that Yuwen Chengdu's strategy was better.
Tian Feng said doubtfully:
"Will this allow the tiger to return to the mountain and allow Yuan Shao to make a comeback?"
Yuwen Chengdu did not answer this question, but said slowly:
"When I was in the real world, I once asked my husband why the common people in the real world have lost their heroic spirit. My husband said that food, rice, oil and salt are the most annoying thing. Once forced by life, no matter how strong the heroic spirit is, it will be worn away... Now Yuan Shao He will live a hard life, and his heroic spirit will gradually disappear. Once he loses his heroic spirit, even if you give him an army of 100,000, he will not have the desire to dominate the world. "
This conversation originated from Yuwen Chengdu watching "Young and Dangerous" and he was curious about whether there were similar organizations in the real world.
Li Yu drove him around the city. The famous "Brother Haonan" in Yinzhou back then was now selling fried noodles at the pedestrian street night market with a beer belly; the "Brother Pheasant" who dominated the No. 2 Middle School in the past was now riding a motorcycle Lun was selling fruit at the intersection. When he saw the urban management, he ran faster than a rabbit.
As for other brothers, some deliver food, some deliver express delivery, some repair air conditioners, some recycle used cars... They may still have heroic spirit, but they have long been suffocated by the smoke and fire of the world.
"Heroes" in the real world will fade away, let alone the children of aristocratic families who have been praised by others for their whole life. A little hardship will be a lifelong shadow.
It's like scar literature. To the common people, is this a scar? No, everyone’s life is like this, and it’s even far worse than what is described in scar literature.
But for those powerful children, it is a pain that will never be forgotten in their lives.
On the way Yuan Shao fled, his troops would be constantly cannibalized by Ma Chao's cavalry. In addition, there was no food, and deserters left every day... Under these heavy pressures, how much of Yuan Benchu's ambition could he retain?
Yuwen Chengdu naturally did not dare to try to change into a determined person, but Yuan Shao was different. Just a label of "violent, timid, and scheming" was destined to make him unable to get up.
After hearing Yuwen Chengdu's explanation, Tian Feng sighed slightly:
"I really want to see the real world for a long time, Wen Ruo, do you want to?"
Xun Yu: "..."
Aren't you talking nonsense? There is no one here who doesn’t want to go to the real world?
While they were chatting, Liu Xie came back from the real world with a tray full of fried food:
"Come and try it. Mr. fried a lot of it and said it goes perfectly with beer. But I won't let you drink the wine. I brought you a box of ice-cold Coke."
Guo Jia tasted a piece of sweet plum fries and praised:
"This product tastes really good. With the sweet potatoes we grow, we can make more of these fries later."
Xun Yu was a workaholic, so he didn't eat. Instead, he first talked about what Yuwen Chengdu reported.
Liu Xie took the soap and asked while washing his hands:
"Ask Mr. Wen He first and see what he says."
For Yuan Shao, Liu Xie didn't take it seriously. His death now and his death in the future would be the same. Even if he was a little crueler, he could directly drag Yuan Shao out of the Three Kingdoms world and send him to another world for execution.
By then everyone would have forgotten Yuan Benzhu, and even if the nobles wanted to mourn him, they would not be able to remember him.
However, Liu Xie did not plan to do this unless it was absolutely necessary, because it was not necessary.
Jia Xu agreed very much with Yuwen Chengdu’s approach:
"Okay, let Meng Qi fight harder in the early stage, and kidnap his children or relatives if necessary. This can weaken Yuan Shao's fighting will to the maximum extent."
In the original work, after Yuan Shao was defeated in the Battle of Guandu, he actually still controlled the four states, but he failed to recover. He neither arranged any follow-up strategic deployment nor arranged a successor, so he passed away.
Several sons started fighting among themselves, and Gao Gan took the opportunity to stand on his own feet, giving Ah Man the opportunity to unify the north.
Such people, once they feel frustrated, will have negative thoughts in their brains, so there is no need to worry about them.
After the conversation ended, Liu Xie said to Tian Feng, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others to encourage everyone:
"After we pacify Yizhou, I beg you to take you to the real world to broaden your horizons... By the way, Yang Xiu is doing very well there, and you really took him to get a tin foil perm, which is very handsome."
After that, Liu Xie took out his mobile phone and showed Yang Xiu's photo.
Guo Jia had no impression of Yang Xiu at all, but when he saw the photo, he still took out a mirror and compared it with his hairstyle:
"It is indeed a little more handsome than my hairstyle. When I go to the real world, I will also get a perm... Your Majesty, please send the photo to my mobile phone, and I will find Yang Taiwei to see how he scolds his son."
Everyone had forgotten Yang Xiu, but Liu Xie had talked about Yang Xiu many times, and everyone had a photo of Yang Xiu on their mobile phones, so even if they had no impression, everyone knew that this handsome guy was called Yang Xiu and now he had gone to the real world.
After talking about this, Liu Xie took the intercom and gave Yuwen Chengdu an order:
"Clean up Yecheng as soon as possible, confiscate the weapons of the noble families, cancel the slavery, and kill those who disobey without mercy!"
Yuwen Chengdu agreed, but did not enter the city. Instead, he picked up the intercom and gave Song Xian an order:
"Song Xian, under the pretext of conquering the surrounding counties, order the noble families in the city to send people to help fight. The family with the most people will receive special rewards from the court."
Song Xian immediately smelled the deep reason for this order:
"Are you going to wipe out the armed forces of the noble families?"
"Yes, let them bring weapons and gather outside the city, and then they will be rewarded according to their merits."
The fighting in the city would make too much noise, so it would be better to pull it out of the city directly. Once the army surrounded it, the private soldiers of the noble families would either surrender or become military merits.
In the city, Song Xian received this order and hurried to the prefectural government.
Dong Zhao is now summoning the patriarchs of the aristocratic families in the city, as well as representatives of some powerful families, in the prefectural governor's mansion.
Normally, at this time, these families should be promised some benefits, or even given the power to collect taxes, so that they will be responsible for the peace of Yecheng.
The local tyrants in the late Han Dynasty basically operated like this.
You seem to have occupied a city, but if there is no cooperation from the locals, you will be immediately sidelined.
This is what happened when Liu Bei got Xuzhou. He was nominally the lord of Xuzhou, but Cao Bao did not cooperate, and Chen Deng and his son were not honest. They secretly flirted with Cao Cao, and Lu Bu, the troublemaker, made trouble. Before Xuande could even sit on the throne, he was driven down from the position of the lord of Xuzhou.
These local tyrants in Yecheng are also like this. No matter who is in power, they have the final say in the daily management of the city.
While Dong Zhao is being polite to them, he can directly ask for manpower to send troops. These aristocratic families will definitely be tempted, and then they can make dumplings.
When Song Xian entered, Dong Zhao had just finished his polite conversation with the noble families and was about to ask them for the promised grain, land, iron ore and other resources.
Before the army approached, these noble families dared to promise anything to survive.
Now, it's time to collect the debt.
How can an outsider like Yuan Shao suppress such a local tyrant? After so many days of mobilization, these noble families expressed their common hatred with Yuan Gong, secretly wrote letters and communicated with the imperial army outside the city.
Song Xian whispered Yuwen Chengdu's order in Dong Zhao's ear. Dong Zhao changed his mind when he heard it and planned to trick the private soldiers in the hands of the noble families and then collect the debt.
Well, no matter what the fate of these big families is, the promised materials and fertile land cannot be reduced at all.
After saying hello, Song Xian left the prefectural government and operated the drone with Cao Xing to inspect the situation in the city.
First, find out the location of each family's granary and hidden soldiers. Once there is a quarrel, we can directly suppress it.
"Wow, this family is rich enough, with thousands of fully armored soldiers and hundreds of horses. Are they preparing for a rebellion?"
"Hundreds of horses are nothing. Look at this family. There are ten large granaries in the backyard, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of hu of grain and grass... Damn, just now the head of this family told Mr. Gongren that he couldn't make ends meet and wanted to rely on the court for relief."
The aristocratic families are greedy. You open your heart to them, but they want to cheat you.
In order not to be cheated by the big families, we can only take the initiative to turn these big families into small families to prevent them from going down the road of extermination.
When Cao Xing was operating the drone, he was not careful and the drone lost control and exploded.
Song Xian couldn't help but complain when he saw it:
"Your level of drone control is just like Empress Wen Zhao entering the vegetable garden - Zhen Ji picking vegetables. You can blow up the drone in such an open place... Stop laughing, go to the place where the drone blew up and pick up all the pieces."
Cao Xing muttered:
"Zhen Mi is only nine years old now, right? She is destined not to be Empress Wen Zhao, so don't make fun of her. What if she is chosen by His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven..."
This guy pointed to the sky and made a "you know" expression. Song Xian immediately understood:
"What you said is true. Okay, okay, I will skip all the words related to beauties in the future... I am so handsome that I have already aroused public outrage. If I don't control my mouth, I will hand a knife to the villains who are jealous of me, don't you think so, Xiao Cao?"
Cao Xing kicked him, picked up the backup machine and continued to investigate.
The two of them finished the investigation and marked all the key courtyards, and then began to check the progress of the city defense takeover and the arrangement of the files.
Everywhere we go, various government files must be sorted out.
Through the files, we can find out some unjust, false and wrong cases, and at the same time, we can also understand the livelihood conditions of the local people, which is very important information.
While everyone was busy with this, in the real world, Li Yu had just finished his nap.
Looking at Professor Zhou lying next to him, Li Yu unconsciously held her slender waist and kissed her on the face.
"Honey, get up when you wake up. You have to go to school later."
Zhou Ruotong took Li Yu's hand and placed it on the back of his head. He turned over and pinched the guy twice:
"When the six pure bamboos sprout, I will have someone make a bamboo hat for you to wear. I will see if you still eat from the bowl and look into the pot, which makes me angry."
Li Yu quickly begged for mercy:
"That was all arranged by our mother. You also know that the feudal superstition on innate creatures is quite serious. Personally, to be favored by Baby Tong is already smoke from the ancestral grave. If it weren't for Dundun's matchmaking, maybe I would still be here now. Being disliked in the blind date market... The second aunt said last time that if you want to go on a blind date now, you have to treat your mother's family to a big meal first, and send a few boxes of snacks to each family, and only then can you be qualified to add the woman's WeChat account and make initial contact. "
Zhou Ruotong didn't react for a while:
"Didn't we all have dinner? Why did we add WeChat to keep in touch?"
"That meal was not a blind date, but a preliminary review by the woman's relatives and friends. After they nodded, they could add the woman's WeChat account. The conversation was almost complete, and the emotional value had been given enough, and then we could meet... The second aunt had the final say, and it was just a treat. The gift, plus the red envelope sent through friend verification, will cost at least 5,000 yuan. As for when we can meet, it’s hard to say.”
Professor Zhou has just returned from the world in the book. He boasts that he has seen the world, but at this situation, he is also a little speechless and does not know what to say.
After a long time, she sighed:
"The real world is getting more and more crazy. From now on, let's just settle in the book world."
Li Yu thinks so too, but he must first help Brother Dao become the Dao of Heaven, or even become the Lord God, so that the world in the book can be stable. Otherwise, after a hundred years, the dog will die of old age and the world in the book will suddenly be out of control.
But when it came to settling in the world of books, Professor Zhou turned over and sat on Li Yu:
"You can go to the world in the book, but if you don't understand the beauty in it, I will make you completely clean."
Li Yu felt a phantom pain and said quickly:
"No, no, no, even if my mother threatens the people of the whole universe, I will never obey."
Professor Zhou suddenly became very happy:
"That's a nice thought. Don't stay in bed and get ready."
As soon as she left, Li Yu straightened his back:
"You've provoked me and you still want to run away? Xiao Tongtong, I want you to help me practice!"
Zhou Ruotong: "..."
I really can’t drink that tiger bone wine!
Forty minutes later, Li Yu walked out of the room refreshed, went to room 201 next door, called Diao Chan and sent her to school.
But this time I didn’t go to class, but to a parent-teacher meeting.
One month into the school year, the head teacher will make a summary with the parents and provide targeted guidance and reminders, and then it will be the National Day holiday.
"Where's Sister Zhou?"
"She won't go because she wants to sort out the information. I can just go with you."
Professor Zhou originally planned to go, but Li Yu's overtime work made Professor Zhou underestimate the enemy, resulting in serious physical exhaustion, so he planned to squint for a while.
Anyway, even if I go to a parent-teacher meeting, I just listen to the class teacher's praises and feel the envious eyes of other parents. There is nothing particularly important.
When he came downstairs, Li Yu opened the car door and got in. Just as he was about to start the car, the little girl suddenly said;
"Husband, your hair is a bit messy, let me straighten it for you."
She came over, symbolically grabbed Li Yu's hair twice, then hugged Li Yu's cheek and kissed her until she was out of breath, then let go, and then buried her head in the back of the passenger seat like a quail. superior.
Li Yu quickly relaxed the atmosphere:
"I was feeling short of breath. Fortunately, Baby Cicada gave me artificial respiration. I feel much better now."
"Husband, you are so evil. No wonder Sister Zhou likes to pinch you."
Li Yu started the car and corrected the little girl's mistake:
"Your sister Zhou likes to twist but doesn't like to pinch. Don't get confused... After the parent-teacher meeting this time, it's the National Day holiday. Do you have any plans?"
The little girl thought for a while and said:
"Just stay at the B&B. There are no plans. I will go wherever you go."
"Okay, then I'll take you to the city for Big Beard's engagement party the day after tomorrow... It's said that a batch of seafood was specially flown in. You should like it very much."
The two drove to the foot of the mountain and went straight to the Moral Education Bilingual School.
As they approached the gate, Diao Chan tilted her head and asked:
"My husband really plans to stay with just the four of us and not add more family members? There are a lot of beauties in the book world."
Li Yu glanced at the girl speechlessly:
"Did your sister Zhou ask you, a little spy, to test me?"
"No, no, just ask..."
Li Yu said:
"No matter how many beauties there are in the book, they have nothing to do with me. You took a bag of jewelry and bought my right to take care of you for the rest of my life. I won't talk about it anymore. You, Sister Zhou, and I are in love, Guiying It was our mother who betrothed her, and it was our mother who arranged for Yunxiao... This place is already overcrowded, and our yard is too small to accommodate too many people. "
At the same time, the world of the Three Kingdoms.
Gao Shun, Zhou Yu, and deputy general Sui Gu led their troops eastward along Zhending City to Wuji County in Zhongshan County, and successfully captured the county seat.
Zhou Yu looked at the defenders who were kneeling on the ground and asked casually:
"Who is the big family in Wuji County? Take me to see it."
To capture the thief, capture the king first. To pacify a place, you must first capture the big families in the city, so as to stabilize the political power.
A surrendered general replied:
"The largest family in Wuji County is the descendant of Zhen Han, the Taibao of the Han Dynasty. The Wuji Zhen family has a hereditary official position of two thousand stones..."
Zhen?
Zhou Yu suddenly remembered the "Fu of the Goddess of the Luo" he had read a few days ago, the woman that Cao Zhi had been thinking about all his life - Zhen Mi!
