[Three Kingdoms] Heroine Cultivation Manual

The heavy snow on New Year's Eve continued all night, and it gradually subsided in the early morning.

On the first day of the first lunar month, according to regulations, the emperor should hold a grand dynasty and worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, but Liu Bian was so ill that he couldn't even get out of bed now.No matter how many officials wanted to enter the palace to celebrate, they had to take into account the emperor's health, so they could only stay at home honestly, congratulate each other with their colleagues and friends, and it was considered as the New Year.

As for the General's Mansion, the gatekeepers of the guarding courtyard are all soldiers from Xiliang, all of them with faces as black as iron armor, and you can smell the evil spirit soaring five meters before the main entrance. Black face to see.

So the general himself can sleep in peace of mind.

When Qin Chu woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.The sky after the heavy snow is so strangely blue, which has the meaning of "a blue as clear as a wash".

She looked through the window, the sky was clear and the sky was clear, the ice was frozen and the snow was piling up. It was indeed like a sudden spring breeze overnight, and she couldn't help but feel lighter.

It's just that although the mood is happy, the body is not very comfortable - the feeling of hangover is indeed not very good, even if Qin Chu is born without pain, this feeling of weakness and weakness is not very good.

She slowly got up from the bed, randomly pulled a fox fur coat on her body, rubbed her head in a disgraceful manner, and sneezed again.

...I feel that since saving Liu Bian, the body's immunity seems to have weakened.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror with disheveled hair and empty eyes for a while, and was considering whether to change to a maid to come over and help with grooming, when the door was pulled open with a "swish".

Qin Miao stood at the door with a grim expression, she swung the silk door a couple of times, making a humming sound.She didn't even say hello, but saluted Qin Chu solemnly, and said:

"My lord, the envoy of Jizhou is asking to see you!"

The envoy of Jizhou is the envoy of Yuan Shao.

The stiff gears in Qin Chu's mind finally rolled slowly, and he returned to normal thinking.Her face changed suddenly, she stabilized her mind, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter?"

"The person who came here claimed to be Yuan Benchu's counselor, and his attitude was arrogant. He only said that the general was not there, so he didn't know what he was doing."

—— Yuan Shao's adviser?

Why don't you come to Luoyang to pay her New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year instead of going to Beigong to meet the saint?

Qin Chu's eyelids twitched, and a series of names such as Tian Fengju, Guo Tu, Xu You, etc. quickly flashed across his mind. He only remembered that these people were not easy to deal with, and he frowned immediately:

"Let someone deal with it first, and I'll be there later."

"promise."

Qin Miao came and went in a hurry, turned around and left when ordered, and thoughtfully closed the silk door for her.

Qin Chu was woken up by the news she brought, and walked to the basin with his dizziness, and tidied up quickly, his thoughts never stopping for a moment.

Yuan Ri sent people to Luoyang, what is Yuan Shaoan's heart?

Judging from the current situation, the territory in the sea is roughly divided into three parts. Except for the princes who are not moving, the north and the south are occupied by Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and the Luoyang Sizhou area is still completely under the Liu family's royal family.

But when it comes to real discussion, the conflict between Yuan Shao and the dynasty is not the biggest.

The Kwantung Allied Forces, headed by Yuan Shao, are mainly distributed in the three prefectures of Hebei, Henan and Yanzhou, and have not clearly shown disobedience to the imperial court.

And the so-called "Southern Allied Army"...has not yet been formed, and the core is Yuan Shu from Xuzhou.

According to Tobu's secret guard report, Yuan Shu is currently negotiating with Jiangdong tycoons, trying to control the south through the Yangzhou tycoons, and their forces are infiltrating into Yangzhou.

In addition, there is another point that Yuan Shu tied Chenliu Wang Liu Xie.For the young emperor Liu Bian, his nine-year-old brother almost replaced him as emperor several times. Regardless of whether Liu Xie was willing or not, these things have been seared in Liu Bian's heart, making King Chen Liu a thorn in his side.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Shu recruited troops openly. Even though Liu Bian did not express his opinion, all parties in the court had discussed many times, and believed that Yuan Shu was already in a state of being torn apart from the central government.

Even so, the Eastern Han court headed by Liu Bian was still in a daze at this time, adhering to the principle of "if the enemy does not move, I will not move", and until a few days before New Year's Eve, it continued to explode in internal affairs, and did not know at all Reach out to other states and seek help earlier.

The bases of Qin and Chu were in Dongwu and Jincheng, which were located in Langya and Liangzhou respectively in Xuzhou.However, Xuzhou was occupied by Yuan Shu, and Liangzhou was too far away, so it was of little help in the current situation—of course, she never thought of exposing these two hole cards to the Luoyang court.

As for Jingzhou, Yizhou and other places, these people in power are all people who live their lives honestly with their heads tucked away, and they are still lying down and pretending to be dead, so naturally they can't be counted on.

... From this point of view, Jizhou can be regarded as quite non-existent.Right now, the biggest conflict of interests should be between Yuan Shu and the Central Committee, so the question goes back to the first one. Yuan Shao sent someone to find her at this time, but he has not communicated with the young emperor. What does he mean?

She frowned, quickly finished her grooming, arranged her appearance amidst the doubts in her stomach, and walked briskly towards the living room.

"Lord."

"General."

Guo Jia, who was sitting on the right, got up and saluted her. The man on the left was a little late, but hurried to follow and gave her a deep bow.

This man was in his thirties and forties, and he was quite good-looking, but his cheeks were thin, his eyes were white and dark, and he didn't look like a good stubble.

He was dressed in a blue straight dress and wore a scholar's hair crown. His eyes wandered briefly on her face for a moment, his eyebrows moved, and he didn't show any obvious emotions in the end.

Immediately afterwards, the counselor from Jizhou bowed respectfully again, this time introducing himself:

"Xu You, Xu Ziyuan, I met General Fu."

"Well, sit down."

He didn't mention his official position, so Qin Chu didn't ask.

Although the Son of Heaven also half-pushed Yuan Shao as a chariot general, this position was originally proclaimed by Yuan Benchu ​​himself, and he has no plans to return to Luoyang now, so this post of "chariot general" is a bit embarrassing, not to say much. formal.

In this case, the civil servants under him can't win a good-sounding official position, so it's better to ignore it than say more mistakes.

Qin Chu sat down in a decent manner, exchanged glances with Guo Jia very briefly, and nodded to Xu You:

"I heard that Xu..." She paused, and she didn't know how to address this arrogant counselor who once betrayed Yuan to Cao, so she vaguely passed the title, and said directly, "You said, it's not the 'general' who didn't see him, and he traveled a long way Come on, what is so urgent?"

Guo Jia let out an inaudible "heh", and the eyes behind the feather fan fell on her, and his eyes were bent, a little wanting to laugh.

Sure enough, Xu You's expression froze for a moment visible to the naked eye, and a very brief embarrassment appeared on that slightly mean face, but he quickly covered it up.

"After all, it is the order of the Lord." He smiled, seemingly unaware of the scrutiny and sarcasm in Qin Chu's words, and his tone was still respectful. "My visit is also because of General Yuan's intentions..."

What follows is a series of clichés.

Xu You made friends with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao when he was young, and his education was probably the same as that of the literati in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he spoke fluently. Qin Chu listened patiently at first, but Xu You finally got to the point when he frowned.

"——So, my lord wants to ask the general for two thousand fine horses from Xiliang, in exchange for food and soldiers."

As Xu You said, he took out a stack of Caihou paper printed with ink from his sleeve, handed it to Guo Jia with both hands, paused again, looked up at Qin Chu, saw that she didn't have much reaction, so he was polite Go on angrily:

"The general can make a decision after consideration. I will stay in Luoyang for a while and wait for your answer before returning to the north."

It means "I won't leave until you give me a reply".

Qin Chu clicked his tongue in his heart, and said to himself, "What the hell, it's none of my business whether you leave or not, stay in Luoyang for the elderly."

However, thinking about it, the so-called "the two countries do not fight each other" and "stretch out their hands and do not hit people with smiling faces", she still has to maintain a superficial peace with the north, so naturally she can't be too rude.

She glanced at Xu You, and didn't speak for a while, she just looked at him until the forehead was sweating, and then she was satisfied, and showed him a not-so-sincere smile:

"It's natural. The mansion has cleaned up the wing rooms, and the boat and the car are exhausting, and the journey is dusty. Let's go to rest first."

——I understand, you go away.

So Xu You bid farewell with great color, and Ma Liu got out.

Seeing that the scammer from the north finally left, Qin Chu finally loosened his grip, and turned his head to look at Guo Jia: "What do you think of Feng Xiao?"

Guo Jia: "Not reliable."

The evaluation he gave was simple and clear.

Qin Chu nodded, turned two pages of the Caihou paper that Xu You presented, and looked at the list of supplies that Yuan Shao gave, Fang said: "I think so."

"It's just an ordinary material exchange. Why do you have to send counselors to Luoyang to negotiate with the Lord in person?"

Guo Jia's gaze was glued to the list, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the light in his slightly raised fox eyes flashed:

"Yuan Benchu's manpower, food and grass are too sufficient, even five thousand Xiliang horses can be exchanged, it is absolutely impossible to just 'trade'.

"What's more, what Yuan Shao wanted was Xiliang army horses, wouldn't it be faster to go directly to Liangzhou to find Jia Wenhe?

"Judging from the accent, this Xu Ziyuan seems to have stayed in the capital for a while. Sending such a person to Luoyang may have other intentions."

"What Feng Xiao said is true."

It's just that Guo Jia was not in Luoyang, so he didn't guess that Xu You and Cao Cao still had some friendship.

As soon as these words came out, Guo Jia knew that she knew what was in her mind, so she also relaxed, picked up the goose feather fan on the desk, threw it in the air, and quickly caught it, held it up with a smile and slapped it twice, and seemed to be in a good mood:

"So, what do you think, my lord?"

"No." Qin Chu laughed, "Stop him and wait for him to come to me—Yuan Shao will never really let the counselor live in my house for the elderly."

On the first day of the first lunar month, it is appropriate to be a bandit or a hooligan.
