Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 182 Jade beauty Gan, fellow Qiaopei

The fast horse galloping out from Lingling County, like a whirlwind, stepped on countless muddy roads.

Huang Zhong was riding on the horse, his heroic cheeks were full of vicissitudes at the moment, under those sword-shaped eyebrows, the worried eyes could not be concealed at all.

Huang Xu, my son Yongsheng...he...he is the heart of old father Huang Zhong!

He died, Huang Zhong's life?What else is there to ask for?

The day dawned, the mist rose, facing the white mist of blood, let the cold wind blow on his cheeks like a knife, Huang Zhong still rode his horse galloping, he couldn't help breathing out...

This white air melted the bitter ice crystals on his brows, condensed into drops of ice water, and fell into Huang Zhong's eyes and mouth, bitter, Huang Zhong could only feel the heartfelt bitterness in his heart!

Xu'er, Xu'er...you...are you okay?
Huang Zhong knew that once he got typhoid fever, the pain would become more and more painful day by day. He...he felt the same pain!

Quick, faster!

"Please, Ma'er, at least, at least let me, a father, see my son again!"

"Get it..."

The war horse neighed, and the horse seemed to understand his words, and let out a mournful cry...

"Da da da…"

——Horseshoes like the wind!
...

...

Yanzhou, Chenliu County, Caifu.

The military master sacrificed wine and played with Lu Yu, and the news spread like wildfire...

This is a talent for drama. When facing thousands of troops, he always holds his head high, talks and laughs happily, and is full of confidence... Similarly, he is also a character who stomps his feet and makes the whole Cao Ying tremble...

He...he actually knelt down!

Everyone in Chenliu County was shocked.

Of course...the chain reaction triggered was also huge. Whether it was ordinary people, scholars, or sergeants, all those who suffered from typhoid fever and were rescued by Lu Yu's apprentices rushed to the Cai Mansion...

With a "click", they imitated Xi Zhicai and knelt down.

Sure enough, no matter what era it is.

The power of example is infinite!
What's more, the person who sets an example for them is... the military master sacrifices wine and plays Zhicai!
Countless people came here to kneel in front of the Cai Mansion, even though the weather was still a bit cold, even... their ears were red from the cold, but... thanksgiving was never reserved for the superiors, only Xi Zhi could kneel here to thank , why can't they?

and…

This is a group of simple people. Everyone brings eggs that they are reluctant to eat at home, rare vegetables, and wheat that has been hidden for a long time. They want to use their own ways to thank the benefactor.

A man came to the Cai Mansion with his wife and son. He brought two guavas, which were brought to him by his relatives in the west.

Since Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions brought back the planting method of this guava, it has only been planted in a very small amount in the west...

Each one is precious...

He was reluctant to eat it, and he was also reluctant to let his sons eat it, so now he took it out to benefactor...

The most precious fruit, of course, should be given to the most important people.

It's just...the three of them came to the Cai Mansion and wanted to follow the example of a military master and kneel down...

Express your gratitude in this way.

But I found that there are too many people who have such thoughts...

There is no place to kneel in front of the entire Cai Mansion.

Not to mention kneeling, there is no place to stand, and there are densely packed people in front of the door. It is very enviable to have a piece of land to kneel on!

"Father, what should I do if I don't have a place to kneel..."

"It's okay. There are so many people. Someone must go to the latrine. If anyone wakes up, let's go to their place."

This blurted out... The woman looked at the man next to her in admiration...

As expected of her husband, he is very smart!

only…

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny…

This group of kneeling people... their bladders seem to be made of steel, very few get up to go to the latrine, even if there are, someone will always go first!
There are too many people who want to take up space and kneel...

In front of the entire Cai Mansion... Kneeling is full of people, and kneeling is extremely pious!

Outside the gate of the mansion, the soldiers of the Longxiao Battalion... looked at the throng of people, frowned... and started discussing one after another.

"So many people are kneeling, what should I do!"

"Cold salad! Could it be that you still plan to report to the young master?"

"Surely you can't report to the young master...Young master has an order. I have to be busy with business today and no one will be seen... Just now, it is understandable to go out to help the military division in person, but... there are... so many people, and I have to help them one by one. Why don't you tire our son to death?"

"You are enlightened, actually... don't worry about it, let them kneel, I can understand their feelings! Speaking of which... if my relatives are healed by the master's medical scriptures, I will also kneel here , don’t kneel...in my heart, I don’t feel at ease!”

The last sentence blurted out...

The other soldiers looked at the soldier meaningfully, and nodded heavily.

A life-saving grace is hard to repay, just like what he said... If you don't kneel, you will feel uneasy in your heart!
...

Compared to the group of kneeling people outside the door.

Xi Zhicai was very lucky because... he was standing. Although there were many people standing, he was one of the few who could stand inside the gate of the Cai Mansion...

An hour ago, Lu Yu personally helped him up and brought him into Cai's residence.

Before Xi Zhi could thank him, Lu Yu dragged him to the big iron pot in the backyard.

But, from now on... Lu Yu has no time to talk to him.

It was as if, his Xi Zhicai was very solemn to thank him, but in Lu Yu's eyes, he was nothing, so just stay where you are cool.

At this time, Lu Yu sat down, crossed his legs, leaned back slightly, stood up from time to time to observe the pot, and then told the oil workshop officers: "Add cold water to it"...

After all, it is cooking dumplings. There is still some common sense. If the temperature is too high, the water will silt up...

Xi Zhicai felt that everyone's attention was focused on the cauldron, so he had no sense of existence, so he took the initiative to grab the bucket from Zhuge Jun's hand, and said with a smile, "I'll come..."

So, bring to a boil and add cold water...

Boil again, add…

Until the third time, Lu Yu observed for a long time, and then gave an order.

"Take it out...the dumplings are cooked."

Speaking of cooking dumplings, Lu Yu is very skilled, and in his life skills, it is only slightly inferior to cooking instant noodles!
Mainly because of kidney deficiency in previous life...ah no...it's because I was a single dog in my previous life!
Don't eat instant noodles and quick-frozen dumplings?What else can I eat?Is it a restaurant for couples?
He is not worthy...

Now... Seeing the formed dumplings, Lu Yu felt very kind inexplicably.

Of course, because it is cooked in the courtyard, the fragrance of the mutton soup and the appearance of the dumplings when they come out of the pot make people move their index fingers.

Most importantly, it's cold in the yard...

Even though today is the warmest day in winter, it will still be cold... The most important thing is that the hats of the Han Dynasty are a bit hollow, and they can't cover the ears. Xun Yu, Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, Wei Hong... all feel the ears It's going to freeze!

"Come here... have a taste!" Lu Yu greeted: "Everyone has a bowl of dumplings and a bowl of soup!"

Hey... The name Jiaozi appeared in everyone's ears again, everyone is looking forward to it...

This thing that looks like an ear?What is it like?
"Give me a bowl first!"

Xiahou Dun was the first to speak...

Cao Hong is not here, there must be someone who dares to eat crabs, plus... Lu Yu seems to be good at cooking, for example, the fried locusts before made him feel very amazing.

"Yuan Rang, let me try it first, old man? Elderly people... are not in good health, and my stomach is growling."

Wei Hong's beard... smiled and said.

Xiahoudun murmured in his heart, how shameless...Yi Lao Mai has grown old...

But he was also very helpless, so he could only spread his hands... "Elder Wei has said so, how can I have the nerve to fight with the elderly, hahaha!"

Wei Hong walked to the cauldron first, and Zhuge Jun was about to fill a bowl for Wei Lao...

Xi Zhicai snatched the bowl: "I'll..."

He knew very well that today he was here to repay his kindness, but the key is... Lu Yu didn't even give him the chance to repay his kindness...

Well, how can I repay it?
Come on, I'm a small worker, so it's okay to serve you meals!
Xi Zhicai felt uncomfortable all over if he didn't do anything.

Wei Hong took a bowl full of soup, and there were three or four dumplings in it. He first observed it carefully.

After smelling it, it was still the smell from the iron pot before, with the mellow aroma of mutton and the scent of medicinal herbs. The more I smelled it, the more embarrassed I was to eat it.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally took a bite.

Well…

With just one bite, the noodles, mutton balls, and medicinal powder were mixed together, and what Wei Hong felt on his tongue was a kind of "unbelievable"...

How in the world can there be such delicious dishes?
Speaking of which... this dumpling and the fried locust before are simply two extremes.

Fried locusts are crispy and fragrant, but his...is soft, with a sensuality in the softness, and there are small medicinal material particles in the sensuality, it is really soft in the mouth!

Speaking of which, Wei Hong, as the richest man in Chenliu County, has never eaten any kind of gourmet food, but... this dumpling still amazes him, and he is willing to call the dumpling the most delicious one among the delicacies he has eaten in decades!
After three times, five times and two times, Wei Hong finished the bowl, and even drank up the soup.

But...compared with the taste of this dumpling, this soup seems a bit mediocre!
Unremarkable mellow fragrance;
The mediocre medicinal scent... the whole thing is mediocre.

Generally speaking, this dumpling is not bad. If you open the door to do business, it will be okay, with good color and fragrance, but... I am afraid that it will not be as profitable as the previous Youfang, and it will be empty for everyone!

Originally, Wei Hong planned to have another bowl, but think about it, so many people are watching, don't make it look like...haven't eaten for a few days, a businessman, the heart can be dark, but the face is still needed.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad..."

Wei Hong praised...

At this time, Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, Xun Yu, and even Xi Zhicai were eating...

Lu Yu specially filled a bowl and sent it to Sister Zhaoji.

Sister Zhaoji refused with a smile. There are so many civil and military personnel here, how can she be ashamed as a woman?

at this time…

Huh?
Wei Hong discovered a problem. After eating this bowl of dumpling soup, his body was extremely warm, extraordinarily warm...

Even the ears, which cannot be covered by the hat, became extremely warm.

This is a very strange feeling. Even if the weather is sunny... it definitely doesn't match the word "warm", let alone standing in the courtyard and shivering is the norm!
But obviously, Wei Hong felt a warm current constantly wandering through the internal organs, limbs and bones...

There was even sweat on his forehead!

Is this a bit weird?

Although... in this ghostly weather, drinking more hot water will also make the body warm for a short time!

But, that was only for a short while.

…But after eating this dumpling and drinking this soup, Wei Hong felt that all the blood in his body was flowing smoothly. This kind of temperature is constantly emitting and rising from the inside out, and this kind of temperature is enough to resist the cold poison.

In fact, this dispelling cold jiaoer soup is like this...

It is not just mutton soup with dumplings in a broad sense. Its core is to use medicine to warm the body, generate heat in the ears, and make the blood flow in the body more smooth.

In this regard, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a master of medicinal food.

"Yuan Rang, Wen Ruo, Zi He, Zhi Cai... What do you think?"

Wei Hong immediately took the initiative to ask...

"Very good!" Xiahou Dun thought that Mr. Wei was always asking about the prospect of this business, so he immediately patted his chest and assured: "My second brother is a fool, as long as he makes something, it will sell well, Mr. Wei, Let's wait to get rich this time!"

Cao Chun also nodded. "The taste of this dumpling is so amazing that I should not worry about selling it..."

Answer the unquestioned...

Obviously, what Wei Hong asked was not this, but... the effect of this dumpling!The effect of warming the whole body.

Of course, someone still realized the intention of Wei Lao's question, and Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai immediately exchanged glances.

They actually thought more...further...

This dumpling... No, to be more precise, it is this cold-dispelling jiaoer soup. Its role is not limited to just a business.

After eating a bowl, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed immediately after feeling the temperature changes in their bodies and ears.

"Aspirational? What do you think?" Xun Yu was the first to speak...

"Haha..." Xi Zhi waved his hand. "Wen Ruo, since you have thought of it, why bother to ask more questions!"

Now, Xi Zhicai didn't care about repaying his kindness, because... compared to repaying his kindness, a more important and urgent matter...seemed to be solved easily.

"Zhicai, it's better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone. Let Mr. Cao taste this dumpling!" Xun Yu slightly wiggled his beard...

Xi Zhicai said with a smile. "This time we want to go together!"

That's right, now...typhoid fever is in Yanzhou, because Lu Yu's apprentices have temporarily controlled it.

Although there are still some severe patients who are not so easy to recover, in fact, compared to the losses caused by typhoid last year and the year before, this is already a blessing in misfortune!

So now, the grand strategy is still to go west to Luoyang and welcome the emperor...

Apart from typhoid fever, the biggest problem in going west to Luoyang is the bitingly cold weather!

The armor may keep the soldiers' bodies warm, but the helmet cannot cover the soldiers' ears.

Both Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai visited General Cao Hong's military camp...

Those vanguard soldiers who returned, without exception, had their ears, hands and feet covered with sores, and their bodies were icy cold.

Going west like this, even if you reach Luoyang, you will barely reach Luoyang, and you will still be a remnant soldier...

How can such remnant soldiers compete for the emperor with a group of warlords?
And today…

The eyes of Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai kept flickering.

This dumpling, this dispelling cold jiaoer soup, undoubtedly provided a brand new way of thinking, perhaps...the problem that hinders the westward march to Luoyang in this bitingly cold weather...his solution...is hidden in this big iron pot.

Thinking of this, how can Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai remain calm?

Of course...Xun Yu and Xi Zhi could only think of it, Lu Yu also thought of it, today is just an experiment...

It worked out great.

This dispelling cold jiaoer soup is much simpler than wrought steel...

Don't look at him yelling to let everyone get rich together, in fact...Lu Yu's ulterior motives are still on the big event of going west to Luoyang!

The strategy is imminent...

The emperor will definitely return to Luoyang this year, and whether he can arrive in Luoyang in advance is related to whether he can make arrangements in advance, which is crucial to seizing the emperor.

Because of the appearance of Lu Yu, a butterfly, history has changed to a certain extent, and what Lu Yu can do is to ensure that... Cao Cao will definitely welcome the emperor.

It is the most critical step...

Everything before that can be said to serve this step!

"Hey..." Lu Yu deliberately patted his forehead. "What Xun Sima said is right. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun with others. Why did you forget Mr. Cao... How about this, everyone eat dumplings here, and I will invite Mr. Cao!"

Lu Yu smiled and was about to leave...

He thought about the success of the experiment, Lao Cao can come!

I never thought that Lu Yu hadn't taken a step yet, and Xi Zhi was the first to speak. "Let me go... After drinking this bowl of soup, my whole body is warm, and I feel so suffocated without moving my legs!"

"I'll go too..." Xun Yu smiled...and said. "It's enough for Lu Gongcao to chat with Mr. Wei and the two generals here. Let's go to invite Cao Gong!"

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai wanted to explain to Cao Cao the impact of the Quhan Jiaoer Decoction... Presumably, this is what Cao Cao is looking forward to now.

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai took the initiative to invite Ying, which was beyond Lu Yu's expectation.

But...it's okay, Lu Yu cupped his hands slightly. "Then there are two military advisers."

Hahaha…

Laughing, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai walked out of the backyard quickly.

Xiahou Dun blinked his eyes, he thought Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu were a bit brain-dead, right?

It's so cold, why are you rushing outside?

Isn't this the head kicked by a donkey?

Go ask big brother, if you have the skills, don't you think it's delicious to eat an extra bowl of dumplings here?
Xiahoudun found that he has fallen in love with dumplings, this thing tastes so good... One bite, the mouth is full of meat, so refreshing!And that soup, drinking it is sweating all over, which is so enjoyable in winter!

"one more bowl…"

Xiahou Dun greeted Zhuge Jun very rudely, and Zhuge Jun also obediently filled another bowl for him. Looking at Xiahou Dun's size, he knew that he would not be full without dozens of dumplings!
"Eat it all, eat it all, everyone in the yard don't stand still, go and get a bowl and try it!"

Lu Yu ordered...

Now the whole backyard exploded, and all the workers in the oil workshop were ready to try it out...

at this time…

"Lu Gongcao, it's not good..."

Xun Yu and Xi Zhi came back in a hurry...

what's going on?Is it okay if the door is not out yet?
Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, he found that today, no one played cards according to the routine.

"Where? What's wrong?" Lu Yu asked urgently...

Xun Yu frowned. "I can't get out, Lu Gongcao might as well go and have a look... There is a sea of ​​people in front of your mansion, kneeling down!"

Obediently... Kneel down!
Lu Yu subconsciously looked at Xi Zhicai, let alone... When this gaze came, Xi Zhicai was a little embarrassed——

- It's my fault!
"Cough cough..." Lu Yu coughed lightly, what did he think of... "In such a cold weather, so many people kneel in front of the house, so... one bowl per person, two dumplings per person, one bowl of soup!"

Lu Yu felt that he was still a kind-hearted person...

Why do people kneel down to themselves?You can't let people kneel down hungry. Besides, it's just right... This cold-dispelling jiaoer soup can be tested on a large scale to see how effective it is?
...

...

Chenliu County, government office.

Both Cao Ren and Cao Hong are here...

They both came back not long ago, and they also brought back information about Xiapi City and Chang'an City.

Now, the two are reporting to Cao Cao one by one.

First Cao Ren...

"Xiapi City is now in chaos. Liu Bei took Guan Yu to fight Ji Ling under Yuan Shu's command, and handed over Xiapi City to Zhang Fei for garrison."

"...I never thought that Yuan Shu colluded with Lu Bu and promised him 20 shi of grain, plus Zhang Fei beheaded Lu Bu's father-in-law Cao Bao in a fit of anger... When the soldiers met, Lu Bu captured Xiapi City. Liu The three brothers, Guan, Zhang, are homeless!"

Cao Ren explained in detail...

Cao Cao was still muttering, how could Liu Bei make such a mistake?
Take Guan Yu out and leave Zhang Fei to garrison. If he is Cao Cao, he will definitely do the opposite, take Zhang Fei out and leave Guan Yu to garrison.

Of course, Zhang Fei's killing of Cao Bao was more or less due to the disagreement between the Danyang faction and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. This was the direct trigger.

Ha ha…

In any case, because of this deployment, Cao Cao felt that Liu Bei's employment was questionable.

"What else?" Cao Cao continued to ask, "Where is Liu Bei now?"

"Xiao Pei!" Cao Ren continued. "Brother, it's a long story, let me tell you in detail..."

Cao Ren took a sip of tea, and said loudly: "Liu Bei's wife, Madam Gan, who was married in Xiapi City, was taken away by Lv Bu. She has become a lone army outside the battle, and she is about to run out of supplies. Help."

Uh... Common people?
Cao Cao directly read out two names: "Mi Zhu? Mi Fang?"

"That's right." Cao Ren nodded. "In order to stabilize Liu Bei's mood, Mi Zhu dissipated all his family wealth, betrothed his younger sister to Liu Bei, and gave him all the [-] guests and the family's ten thousand yuan of money. Only then did Mi Zhu stabilize the situation and let Liu Bei regain his strength. "

Oh…

Cao Cao nodded...

In Cao Ren's words, he captured several key information.

First, the Danyang faction has been bound to Lu Bu;

Second, the Shuren faction is almost bound to Liu Bei;
Third, Liu Bei actually... actually married two wives and concubines?Are you having a good day?
All of a sudden... Cao Cao was a little curious about Liu Bei's two wives.

In recent years... when referring to other people's wives, Cao Cao always feels a prehistoric power in his heart, ready to move... especially Liu Bei, who he cares about a lot.

"Zi Xiao? What is the name of Liu Bei's wife?" Cao Cao asked curiously...

"Gan's family name is Mei, from Peiguo." Cao Ren blurted out...

Um... fellow countrymen!
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, his hometown is Qiao County, Peiguo, and Ganmei is from Peiguo, isn't he a fellow villager?
"Hahaha..." Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing out loud.

Cao Ren was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you laughing, brother?"

This…

Cao Cao's eyeballs must be fixed, and he replied casually: "I laugh at him, Liu Bei can't even protect a woman, so why should he stand in troubled times!"

Well, Cao Ren's eyeballs rolled, big brother Cao Cao seemed to... care a lot about this Gan family?

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, Cao Cao coughed lightly and continued: "The common people's faction is against Liu Bei, and the Danyang faction is against Lu Bu, ha ha... Lu Gongcao's previous judgment is not bad at all. In Xiapi City, the only force we can win over is There is this celebrity faction."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes must be rolling.

"Zi Xiao? Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son from Xuzhou Celebrity Sect? How did you win?"

...

...

(Ps: Remember Mrs. "Yu" of Peiguo, the name of Ganmei is very important, and I will take the exam in the future!)
