[Three Kingdoms] Heroine Cultivation Manual

The summer in the Central Plains came violently. Soon after the beginning of summer, the temperature in the capital rose sharply, and the stone roads in the city were hot from the sun.Nothing happened in the capital this month, and the court meeting didn't know when it would be, so the nobles were reluctant to leave the house.

On May [-]th, the sun was scorching, the early summer cicadas were chirping outside the courtyard, and the shiny green leaves were swaying in the breeze.

That's when the news came.

When Qin Chu reminded Liu Bei, "There is no war, it is difficult to make meritorious service." This was not an excuse for refusal, but it was quickly overthrown because Yuan Shu had already begun to take action.

As usual, there was no one at the gate of the Grand General’s Mansion that day—Qin Chu once said that if there was no important business to see outsiders, there were some unbelievers at first, but they were all politely invited out by the generals, and now there is no one to ask for help. It's no fun.

Pound's chestnut horse rushed straight from Xiamen, turned over and dismounted before passing the main gate of the general's mansion, and strode into the courtyard with big strides.

Qin Chu was watching Ma Chao and Sun Ce's martial arts competition in the open space of the courtyard. From the corner of his eyes, he saw him enter the door with a sullen face. As soon as he turned his head, he heard him shout:

"My lord! Urgent, urgent report!"

"What's the matter, is it urgent?" She brushed off her sleeves, stood up from the stone, took the letter from Pound's hand, glanced at it twice, and her movements faltered.She frowned and read further, her face suddenly changed.

Pang De ran over the head just now, stood still and took a few breaths, barely calmed down, and then saluted her:

"When the general was training troops outside the city, he happened to receive an urgent report from the courier from Xuzhou, saying that it was related to Yuan Shu. The general did not dare to open the letter, but the messenger said that the situation was urgent, and a good horse had run away and died on the way. , so I left the soldiers outside the city and came to deliver the letter first.”

"..." Qin Chu unconsciously pressed the right side of his waist with his other hand, and the place where the sword should have been was empty.

The urgent report related to Yuan Shu from Xuzhou also said that it was urgent, so what else could it be?

She took a deep breath, raised her hand immediately, stopped Ma Chao and Sun Ce's competition, and ordered solemnly to the two:

"Go, bring several military advisers and generals to the chamber—as soon as possible."

When they saw her slightly cold expression and Pang De's anxious eyes, they knew that something serious had happened, so they didn't dare to ask more questions. They immediately dropped their weapons, fisted at Qin Chu, turned around and left.

Seeing that they were leaving, Qin Chu lifted his clothes and nodded slightly to Pang De: "Have you ordered the matters outside Lingming's city? If there is nothing wrong, come with me."

"promise."

She turned around and walked in front of Pound, feeling the red blood flowing in her body was slightly warming... She wanted to laugh, but felt that it was really wrong.Yuan Shu supported King Chenliu as emperor, and accused Qin and Chu of controlling the imperial power and oppressing loyal ministers, intending to codify the Han Dynasty. This is all expected.

Yuan Shu was ambitious, and these accusations were nothing more than an excuse for him to support Liu Xie as a puppet emperor and annex power.But he was right about one thing, Qin Chu did have the same thoughts——

Therefore, war is inevitable.

Probably Qin Yiren has been a game player for a long time. When he was young, he only learned to treat ordinary people with a normal heart. Up to now, he still can't look directly at the war with correct eyes.

She doesn't worry about war, doesn't hate war, and she doesn't fear war.

Intellectually, she is very clear that every war requires countless financial resources, manpower and material resources.When she was young, she also saw the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been honed by it in Yingchuan. They were thin and tired, some of their eyes were still burning with hatred, but most of them were empty and numb.

Ordinary people hate war.

It is like a huge black hole gathered by locusts, devouring everything greedily—whether it is corn in summer or rice in autumn, whether it is soldiers in battle or cooks in logistics, whether it is the life of an individual or the vitality of a group. Everything in front of me became quicksand.

But Qin Chu is the general and the lord.She had to maintain the heat of her blood, but she also had to cool down, and looked at it with the most utilitarian eyes, treating it as the data written with a soft pen on the bamboo slips, and thinking about ten steps after taking one step.

What's more, she is already above the world's laws, half of the players?

"War is necessary."

Standing in front of the sand table, she raised her chin slightly, looked around at the subordinates in the meeting room, and saw faces that were either excited or worried, with calm expressions as if they were not involved.

"The legitimacy of Liu Bian's throne cannot be shaken. If this battle is avoided, the hearts of the court will inevitably fluctuate."

Guo Jia received her emotions and nodded slightly: "My lord is right."

He paused, slipped his pale hand on the sand table, pointed to Jizhou, and said: "However, Yuan Shao's power in the north is still expanding. Even if Liu Yu has not agreed to join the Kwantung Allied Army for the time being, Yuan Shao has to guard against it."

Thanks to Brother Liu Beiyi for the information that brought her more precautions.

Zhou Yu looked at the sand table, Jizhou was flat, surrounded by plains, and rivers criss-crossed in the vast north.He was silent for a while, looked up and saw Qin Chu's cold eyes, and suddenly said:

"If my lord wants to go north, Yu is willing to go."

Qin Chu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled at him, and shook his head: "Gongjin was born in Jiangdong, even if I don't invite you to go to the north, I won't let you play."

"My lord, Yu is not—"

"Well, I know that Gongjin also has the intention to make meritorious deeds. However, it is too early to go north at this time. Gongjin can lead people to station troops in Sizhou. If there is any problem in the north, Luoyang can be relied on to deal with it conveniently."

"……promise."

Now that we have a general direction to deal with the north, it is time to discuss going south.She touched Xu/zhou with her index finger, and just about to speak, she heard Xun Yu whisper: "Besides, there is Yuzhou."

Qin Chu: "What?"

"Kong Ni, governor of Yuzhou."

He raised his gaze, exchanged glances with Qin Chu, nodded slightly, and then looked at the area representing Yuzhou on the sand table, staring and said: "This person was born in the Chenliu family, and he is quite proud of being a celebrity. Yuan Shu's back Depending on the family, it is not difficult to convince him to join the 'Southern United Army'."

Qin Chu narrowed his eyes and began to think.

Xun Yu is a bit of a gentleman, even discussing potential enemies so tactfully.She barely translated it, to the effect:

Kong Ni is an aristocrat from Chen Liu's family. After he became a celebrity, his nostrils turned to the sky, and he looked down on ordinary people.Yuan Shu's family has four generations and three fathers, and is the head of the family. It is feasible to kidnap this fool as an accomplice in the rebellion.

According to the historical records after 2000, when the [-]th princes who were far away from each other for thousands of miles raised their troops, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, responded very positively, and this contemporary celebrity was the only one left in history. The comment is: "Bland and high-spirited, bragging, no military talent, sharp work."

Qin Chu: "..."

"Warring States Policy" is right, birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, and idiots will attract idiots.

It's no secret that Shaodi is weak. Even if Yuan Shu didn't jump out and accuse her of arrogating power, many people would be shaken.

She thought for a moment, and murmured: "In this way, Yuan Gonggong will have a lot of troops."

Judging from the secret letter sent by Cai Yan, Yuan Shu, who was preparing to support King Chenliu as emperor, had already dispatched troops to the north. Counting the time it took to deliver the letter, he should have already set off for the expedition.

Before Qin Chu became a general, he was the governor of Yangzhou in name, but he was promoted again before he took office. This made Yuan Shu cheaper, allowing him to cross the central government and directly trade with the Jiangdong gentry to obtain sufficient material support.In addition, Yuzhou is also a rich area rich in resources. Even if Kong Ni hesitated and did not absolutely follow Yuan Shu to the expedition, there was no shortage of food and grass.

A little further away is Jingzhou.It is currently unknown what attitude Liu Biao of Jingzhou has towards this, but the emperor's procrastination in the war has obviously provided Yuan Shu with relatively sufficient time for development.

Qin Chu stared down at the sand table and said slowly, "Do you have any opinions?"

Guo Jia shook his fan: "My lord, you can wait for the emperor's order before taking action."

"Yuan Shu has already marched northward, should we wait any longer?" Sun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then went to look at Qin Chu again, seeing her frown, she seemed puzzled, so he continued, "The emperor behaved like that in the battle. Cowardly, when will the order be?"

"We should wait." Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "What about the soldiers left in Langya, my lord?"

"Not many." Qin Chu shook his head frankly, "The personal soldiers brought away by Li Jin, the Bingzhou Army led by Zhang Liao, and the Xiliang Army brought down by Cai Yan, add up to less than 1 people."

"That's fine, my lord." Cao Cao immediately said, "Luring Yuan Shu to go north, away from Xu/zhou, and then use his troops to show power, and go to Luoyang to send a call to control Xu/zhou, and then think about it—— Is this what Guo Jijiu means?"

As he spoke, he showed a confident expression, smiled quickly at Guo Jia, and said to Qin Chu: "I wish to stay in Luoyang, choose the person who writes the essay, and observe the trend in the court."

Guo Jiaxin said comfortingly: "Captain Cao is sensible."

Qin Chu's teeth were soured by the interaction between the two of them, he blinked, and suddenly smiled and said:

"Then Feng Xiao will stay in Luoyang with Meng De, just in case there is chaos in Luoyang."

Guo Jia's expression froze: "Master, in fact, Jia is more..."

Cao Cao responded generously, bowing to her frankly: "No."

While bowing, he turned his head quietly and showed a slightly teasing smile to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia: "..."

Although he intends to go to the south with the army to fight, he also understands that staying in Luoyang is the best choice.After all, Xun Yu is also from a family, and it is inevitable that he will be overwhelmed by the influence of the family when facing those high-ranking officials in Luoyang. However, since he was born in a poor family, it is difficult for those gentry who have different intentions to find a way to deal with it.

Similarly, Cao Cao's biological father was the son of an eunuch, and most of the time, those so-called famous families had some prejudice against him-this happened to be an opportunity to rectify the atmosphere in the capital.

The corners of his eyes twitched, and he glanced at Xun Yu instead. Seeing that his expression was normal, and he nodded slightly when he looked at him, he should have thought of this too.

"Okay," Guo Jia picked up the goose feather fan and shook it unhappy, "Wen Ruo and Gong Da are uncles and nephews, and they know each other well, so they are indeed more suitable to serve in the army than Jia."
