My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 194 Red Glow (Two in One)

The clatter of horseshoes came to a stop in front of a square house.

The fence wall made of solid wood is only half a foot high. Standing outside the door, you can see the simple layout and furnishings in the yard.

To the east of the yard is a small vegetable field, which must be empty in this season, and the soil in the vegetable field clearly shows signs of being turned over deliberately.

Next to the vegetable field is a water well, above which a eaves were repaired with wood to prevent any dirty things from falling into the well.

Next to the well is a sink for laundry, which can be seen to be hewn out of stone, and there is a wooden bracket next to the sink.

There was a large washbasin with gorgeous patterns on the bracket. When they saw this washbasin, the people outside the courtyard took a second look curiously.

Seeing this, the maid who led the way said: "This is an enamel basin ordered by the young master, but it is a good item with a price but no market."

Huang Yueying was stunned, "Enamel basin?" This is the first time I heard of such an object.

As the maid said, she pushed open the courtyard door, and what came into view was a sidewalk paved with bluestone, and the maid took the lead and walked in.

Huang Yueying followed closely behind, looking towards the west.

On the west side of the yard is a bare ginkgo tree with a swing tied to the trunk, which immediately attracted her attention.

On the other side of the swing, there is a huge bluestone, about knee height, with a large area, which can seat three or five people. The surface of the bluestone is polished very smooth. It must be very pleasant to look up at the starry sky above.

At this time, there are two futons on the bluestone, and a simple chessboard in the middle, filled with black and white chess pieces made of glass (glass), and a ginkgo leaf just falls on it, adding a bit of artistic conception.

"Miss, this is tonight's dinner. According to the young master's order, the slaves specially asked the cook to make it lighter."

Seeing the master came back, the servant girl who was arranged to serve came out of the kitchen, holding a rich and simple meal in her hand.

The maid who led the way introduced: "Miss, this is Ping'er, who is mainly responsible for the daily life of the lady. The cook in the kitchen is specially sent by the young master. I have studied with Aunt Niu for a period of time before, and her skills must be excellent."

"Ping'er met Miss, I don't know where Miss wants to eat?" The little maid who was carrying the dishes asked respectfully.

Huang Yueying looked at the blue stone, the little maid understood, she went over with the dishes, packed the chessboard into the room, and brought out a small low table.

The meals are served, three dishes and one soup, a large glass of milk, mainly vegetarian dishes, the only meat dish... is a pot of steamed eggs, are eggs considered meat dishes?
The little maid was afraid that Huang Yueying would feel that she was neglecting her, so she explained: "These dishes are made according to the menu ordered by the young master, and they are a little lighter. I hope the lady will not blame her."

Huang Yueying walked closer, after smelling it, she shook her head and said, "No, it's already very good, and the chef's cooking skills are really good, even though they are all vegetarian dishes, they are quite impressive."

The little maid nodded happily, and winked at the cook who was peeping in the kitchen, reassuring the cook that this master is a nice person.

"that……"

Huang Yueying was a little hungry. After sitting down, she instinctively wanted to take off her hat and veil, but when she looked up and saw two maids standing beside her, she said in embarrassment: "Can I trouble you to avoid it for a while?"

The two maids looked at each other.

The big maid was the one who got Wei Cheng's orders, she nodded, and hurriedly dragged the little maid into the kitchen.

"If the young lady has any orders, you can call me by my name, and we will wait in the back kitchen. Oh, by the way, the young lady must drink all of that glass of milk. This is what the young master ordered."

Huang Yueying nodded gratefully to her.

After the two left, Huang Yueying took off her hat and veil, revealing a sallow face...

···
"This milk tastes good!"

"Old Chen, squeeze me another cup."

"Hahaha, isn't it the first time Coach Zhang drinks milk?"

The wind on the grassland is slightly colder than that in the pass, and the freshly squeezed milk is warm, and the stomach is warm after drinking it.

Zhang Fei drank seven or eight bowls in a row, and finally burped happily.

Moving up the field of vision, through the heat wave distorted by the flames, the burning tents in the distance are extremely eye-catching.

"Brother, this is the second tribe. I didn't expect that we lost more than 300 infantry in just two charges."

Guan Yu frowned, and he was gnawing on a leg of lamb in his hand.

Liu Bei who was sitting on the side also frowned, picked up a bowl of milk and took a sip, sighing helplessly.

The pawns he brought this time were all recruited by him with great difficulty, a total of 3000 soldiers, and he did not expect that nearly [-]% of them died in less than ten days.

At the same time as he sighed, he had to lament how powerful the black armor was.

The infantry who died were all ordinary soldiers who did not wear black armor. Those black armor soldiers who had some skills not only suffered no casualties, but also made great achievements. The black armor soldiers contributed a lot to being able to take down the two tribes so smoothly this time.

Of course, the 4000 city guards brought by Zhang Fei are the main force, but the role of the [-] city guards is limited after all. Facing the Xiongnu tribe with as few as [-] to [-] people, the thousand infantry wearing black armor play an important role. role is crucial.

"For the two tribes, in addition to the one thousand black armors we have already obtained, we can still get one thousand sets. This is two thousand black armor soldiers."

Liu Bei showed a smile, his eyes full of longing.

Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded slightly to express his agreement, and at the same time dropped the bone in his hand, and picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Knife beside him.

"I'll get used to it a little bit more. Brother, go to bed early tonight." Guan Yu said, walking towards Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei looked up and saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei chatted for a few words, and the two found an open place with their weapons to practice.

Seeing this, the resting infantry and city guards gathered around one after another, applauding one after another.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bei felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn't know when he started to feel Guan Yu's alienation from him.

Perhaps it was because of his overly nervous relationship, he always felt that in the past few days, his second brother Guan Yu was deliberately getting closer to his third brother Zhang Fei.

As for Zhang Fei, Liu Bei smiled bitterly. Although he still called himself big brother one by one, he could clearly feel that Zhang Fei was not as obedient as before. Now Zhang Fei not only has his own opinions, but is also particularly good at grasping the relationship with his two brothers. distance.

That's right, it is to grasp the distance between the three brothers.

Zhang Fei's position has completely turned to Wei Cheng, and he is no longer the big brother who said one mouthful at a time, and I will do whatever you ask me to do.

Liu Bei knew that Zhang Fei hated himself in his heart and hated himself for taking Guan Yu away without saying a word. If he hadn't left him without saying goodbye at that time, the three brothers would certainly not be so estranged today.

It's a pity, one wrong step, one step at a time.

Now Liu Bei can only put on a blessing expression, encouraging Zhang Fei from time to time to follow Wei Cheng to make a difference.

In order to continue to create a stalwart image of a loyal brother in Zhang Fei's heart.

"Hahaha, second brother, you can't do it, this Qinglong Yanyue knife is not as good as my Zhangba Snake Spear."

"Haha, the third brother was joking, if I hadn't given way to you, you would have been unable to hold on at this time."

"Hey, why didn't the second brother ask me if I did my best?"

As Zhang Fei spoke, he suddenly jumped back a few steps, the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand suddenly split into two, and said, "I learned a two-handed cudgel technique in Changshan a few days ago, Second Brother, be careful."

"Oh?"

Guan Yu's expression was solemn, and he slammed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife on the grass in his hand, and looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

I saw Zhang Fei took a deep breath, his chest seemed to be swollen, and his whole body's energy and spirit changed drastically in an instant, like a tiger that was always about to pounce on him at any time.

Although I don't know what stick technique Zhang Fei learned in Changshan, the sense of crisis he brought to Guan Yu soared at this time.

Guan Yu didn't dare to be negligent, and raised the Qinglong Yanyue Saber directly in front of his body, which can be regarded as attacking and defending.

Dudu~
"Ok?"

Zhang Fei, who was ready to go, suddenly turned around.

The Hundred City Guards under Zhang Fei also picked up their weapons at the same time, and immediately entered a fighting state.

Just when Liu Bei was waiting for thousands of pawns, he saw a stream of light not far away lighting up the night sky.

beep, beep~
The trumpet sounded again, and Zhang Fei's vigilant expression instantly relaxed. He turned his head and shouted to Guan Yu: "Second brother, choose another day to fight again, there are guests coming."

"Guest?" Liu Bei also came over at this time.

Guan Yu also looked curiously at that ray of light.

Soon.

The sound of horseshoes rolled over, and the leaders were Sun Ce in black armor, silver carp in standard stab-proof clothing, and Zhou Yu...

"Hahaha, Yide, I finally found you." The silver carp greeted carelessly.

Zhang Fei also greeted them with a big smile, including a hundred city guards, all of whom were also in high spirits.

On the other hand, Liu Bei and Sun Ce looked at each other, and they just clasped their hands politely.

Liu Bei searched behind Sun Ce and the others, then couldn't help but frowned... Strange, why didn't he see Cao Mengde?
Liu Bei didn't know that someone had played a trick to be on the safe side, so Sun Ce could only be obedient.

When the two armies met.

Zhang Fei pulled the silver carp to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring it?"

The silver carp chuckled and looked towards a certain figure hiding in his team.

Zhang Fei followed his line of sight and glanced at him, and smiled, saying nothing.

The next day.

I thought Zhang Fei and Hua Chuan would force the two armies to act together.

Liu Bei and Sun Ce, who were thinking about how to reject them, suddenly got a piece of information that caught them off guard.

Hua Chuan gathered the two of them together, took out a map, and said, "Brother Xuande, brother Bofu, take a look, this is the distribution map of the Xiongnu tribes we collected, and there are seven tribes closest to us." tribe……"

After a stick of incense.

Liu Bei and Sun Ce each took Guan Yu and Zhou Yu back to their respective camps.

They couldn't figure it out, when did the Wei family inquire about the information of the Huns so clearly, not only the exact location of the tribe, but also the approximate number of the tribe, as well as the basic defense and strategy.

For example, Liu Bei got a strategy for a tribe. If he followed the strategy provided by the silver carp to attack that tribe, he only needed to use a thousand black armors and Zhang Fei's hundred city guards as cover, and he would be able to take it down effortlessly. The main force of the tribe.

The same is true for Sun Ce, as long as they strictly abide by the strategy provided by the silver carp, they will be able to take down two small tribes that surrendered at about [-] before noon.

After returning to the camp, Sun Ce handed over the rubbing map to Zhou Yu, and at the same time analyzed the general situation of the two tribes with Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu, who had obtained all kinds of information, also couldn't think of a better strategy, because the strategy given by the silver carp was the simplest and most practical.

Zhou Yu immediately looked at the hundred city guards led by the silver carp.

He frowned and said: "Master, the Wei family must have sent a master over here. Although I don't know how they got this information, but they can quickly integrate the information and give such a perfect strategy. This person's military strategy must be far away." better than me."

Sun Ce nodded solemnly. Although picking up two tribes for nothing made him very happy, the more he got in touch with Wei's people, the more he felt that Wei's unfathomable, as if in front of Wei, all of them were An elk is generally powerless in the face of a tiger.

Two people hiding in the silver carp team.

"Okay, Brother Xiao Zhao, our mission is complete, what should we do next?"

Hao Zhao heard the words, touched the package on the saddle unconsciously, shook his head and said, "Mr. Xun, don't ask me, the young master said, let me listen to your arrangement, if you say go, let's go, if you say continue to follow up, let's continue." Follow up, anyway, I am your eyes."

Xun Yu sat on the horseback, laughed, glanced at the package Hao Zhao was protecting intentionally or unintentionally, nodded and said, "In this case, let's stay with each other for two more days, and finally come to the grassland, Xun Xun I am quite interested in the scenery here.”

Hao Zhao laughed and said, "Anything is fine, I will listen to the master."

In a blink of an eye... two days later.

Liu Bei's and Sun Ce's teams merged again, this time the two teams gathered by a stream.

Sun Ce took off his black armor exhaustedly, and jumped into the cold stream naked. The dried blood on his body instantly melted, and soon the transparent stream was dyed red.

"Phew, it's comfortable." Sun Ce scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face to make himself look more energetic.

Zhou Yu also untied the saber from his waist, pulled out the sword with some pain, and looked at it, it was already full of gaps.

"In two days, destroy four tribes and kill nearly [-] Hu tribes." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce gave a wry smile, slumped in the stream and hugged his exhausted body, and replied, "Now I finally know how the Wei family wiped out a tribe of 10 people with two thousand city guards. As if you know everything."

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, took off his boots, and put his feet into the stream. The icy cold stream made him shiver uncontrollably.

"I eavesdropped on it for a while last night, and there seemed to be a strange noise, and then I saw a little red glow rising rapidly into the sky, and then disappeared in a flash. Although I don't know what it is, it must be inseparable from it."

Sun Ce frowned slightly, and looked at the city guards who were joking and joking not far away.

"Wei's method is obviously not as simple as it appears on the surface... We have been rampant on the grassland for many days, and we have not been discovered by the Huns. This is simply impossible, Gongjin, do you still remember yesterday afternoon? Brother Hua Chuan asked us to temporarily change our direction."

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Of course I remember. At that time, I faintly noticed that something was wrong, as if he was deliberately avoiding something. Now that I think about it, he probably had an insight into the movements of the Huns in advance and deliberately let us avoid the scouts of the Huns?"

"It's possible." Sun Ce said.

"Isn't that prophetic?" Zhou Yu looked in disbelief, "What is that red light?"
