My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 379 Hegemony
In the north of the city, Xiuhefang.

Liu He stepped on a pair of wooden high heels, pacing back and forth tremblingly.

A few little girls nearby covered their mouths and secretly laughed, causing Du Liniang who was beside her to scold in a low voice.

Liu He took off his high-heeled shoes in embarrassment, and said to Du Liniang, "These shoes look like nothing, but when you step on them, your heart trembles."

Du Liniang nodded and said, "Girl's pair just doesn't fit well, I'll let them make a pair that fits and try again later."

Liu He waved his hand and put on his embroidered flat shoes.

Seeing this, Du Liniang motioned for a few girls to bring Liu He's custom-made dress.

"Li Niang, are you there?"

At this moment, a few noble ladies walked in side by side. The leader saw Liu He and hurriedly saluted, "See you, Your Highness."

Liu He frowned slightly, indicating that they don't need to be too polite.

Du Liniang was stunned, she looked at Liu He, and then at Mrs. Yang, who was usually proud and arrogant, but actually called this girl... Your Highness?
Liu He seemed to feel Du Liniang's astonishment, and said softly, "Master Du, I won't try on the dress. I believe in the craftsmanship of Xiuhe Fang. Please send someone to help me send it to Liu's residence."

Du Liniang swallowed, nodded, bowed respectfully, "Yes."

After sending Liu He away respectfully, Du Liniang didn't dare to take a breath.

After Liu He walked away, the wives of the Yang family also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Liniang, is this person here to make clothes for you?" Mrs. Yang tentatively asked.

Facing these ladies, Du Liniang did not dare to be negligent, she bowed gracefully, and said: "Yes, isn't it the wedding date of Liu Shijun and Miss Xie's coming soon, many people in the city are rushing to make gowns, I'm almost too busy."

Since Wei Cheng let her make an appearance in Xiuhefang, Du Liniang has become a famous figure in Xiuhefang. In addition, she is also self-motivated, and she works hard to practice female workers and business affairs, and finally gets the job of the shopkeeper of Xiuhefang. .

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yang nodded thoughtfully, and then talked about the purpose of their group's visit.

Liu He, who left Xiuhefang, did not return directly to his residence.

Not far from Xiuhefang, she stopped by a shop specializing in the Four Treasures of the Study.

When the shopkeeper saw her, he hurried forward to greet her.

"Master!"

Liu He nodded slightly, walked into the shop, looked around, frowned and said, "Is the business not good?"

There wasn't a single customer in the shop, so it wasn't an exaggeration to say it was depressed.

However, the shopkeeper responded with a smile: "Okay, that's very good. Please, please, the younger one, take out all the accounts, and the boss will know after reading it."

In the inner hall, Liu He read the accounts, frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Does the guard come to purchase every month?"

The shopkeeper said happily: "Yes, not only the Chengbei Guard Office makes regular purchases every month, but Heluo College also does the same. However, we are the ones who send the four treasures of the study that the students need, so there seems to be no one in the shop."

When Liu He saw the end, a touch of emotion flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

The Chengbei Weisuo and Heluo College alone bring nearly [-] yuan in pure profits to this shop every month.

Liu He knew that there was Wei's and Wei Hao's affection in it, and there was also Wei Cheng's hint, and now the two of them lived in this shop, and the two thousand Wen was enough for the two of them to live. A good day of abundance.

In this era when a sheep only costs [-] Wen, the net income of [-] Wen per month can no longer be described as small money.

Moreover, there is basically no labor in this shop, except for a shopkeeper and two delivery boys.

After reading the accounts, Liu He had mixed feelings in his heart, and suddenly wanted to go to Wei Mansion to thank Wei Cheng.

As for why it was Wei Cheng instead of Wei Hao, only she knew in her heart.

Anyi East Gate.

Zhang Fei handed over his black-tailed BMW to the city guards, and animal power was forbidden in the city, no matter who it was.

"Boy, don't feed my horse, send it directly to Dingjunfang, understand?"

The new kid from the City Guards was stupefied. Who dares to talk to him like that?
Fortunately, an old man who knew Zhang Fei hurriedly took the reins and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I'll leave this matter to me."

Zhang Fei nodded in satisfaction, looked at Huang Xu and Tai Shici, who also got off their horses, and shouted: "I ate at my house at noon, and I stopped by to see my sister's little baby."

Huang Xu and Tai Shici looked at each other, yawned, and said, "Okay, I'll go back to sleep after eating, I'm so busy all the way, I don't know why you're so anxious."

After the three of them entered the city, the newcomer asked curiously, "Father, who is this person?"

The captain of the city guard slapped him angrily, "Brat, you have lost your eyesight, that is the fierce god of war you admire the most, and the other two are also incredible characters, next time you meet Be respectful."

"Ah, that is Zhang Fei?"

The newcomer looked stunned, this is too ruined the image, how tall and mighty the stone statue in the Temple of War God is, it's not like this.

Alas, I already knew about Fan Wushuang God of War Lu Bu.

Zhang Fei didn't know that he had just been spurned by fans, so he took Huang Xu and Tai Shici straight home.

He was not in a hurry to report back, anyway, the secret guard's intelligence work was in place, and Wei Cheng knew what he should know and what he shouldn't know.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Zhang Hui playing with a little doll in the yard.

The three of Zhang Fei were not polite, and after greeting each other, they went to the backyard to freshen up and changed into Zhang Fei's clothes, which happened to be the same size of the three of them, so they could all wear them.

After Zhang Hui and the three of them finished washing, they had already ordered the cook to cook a table of hearty meals, "I don't know if you will come back today, you two can eat whatever you want, and when I turn around, my sister will be the host, please eat and drink for a while." pause."

Zhang Fei sat down, picked up the grilled lamb chops and ate them.

Huang Xu and Tai Shici cupped their fists to express their gratitude to Zhang Hui, and they also wolfed down the food. After several days of driving, they were starved to death.

Zhang Hui hugged the baby, smiled and ate something casually.

Because of the close relationship, everyone has been very familiar with each other for a long time, and Zhang Hui also treats Zhang Fei's colleagues as younger brothers.

Especially the boy Huang Xu, although he is usually naughty, it is his temperament that can win the favor of the elders.

"Sister Hui, what's the baby's name?" Huang Xu asked while eating.

Zhang Hui looked dotingly at the daughter in her arms, and replied with a smile: "My family name is Chunhua, like mine."

"A two-character name?" Zhang Fei frowned.

Zhang Hui responded indifferently: "It's both a name and a character, it doesn't matter, a cheap life is easy to support."

Zhang Fei looked at the pink and tender porcelain doll in his sister's arms, and thought of the bastard who abandoned his sister, and suddenly became angry.

Go back and teach him a lesson.

Of course, he didn't say it out, for fear that Zhang Hui would not like it.

Tai Shici, who was eating happily at the side, frowned slightly, and murmured: "Chunhua... why does this name sound familiar... Well, forget it, I really can't remember where I heard it."

Seeing that the three of them had almost finished eating, Zhang Hui asked, "Shouldn't you go out this time when you come back?"

Zhang Fei said in a hurry: "Not necessarily, there is nothing wrong with Xuzhou, but the three of us may not be free. On the way, the military division received the order from the young master to stay in Yuzhou for a period of time. If something goes wrong, we will also I have to go to Yuzhou."

Huang Xu complained: "I wanted to go to Shuofang to earn some merit, alas."

When Zhang Hui heard this, she put a chopstick of green vegetables into Huang Xu's bowl with a smile, and said, "I'm afraid you don't know that Shuofang has ceased fighting. I received a notice from the guard yesterday that I will send people to build the soup pond in a few days." .”

"Ah, this is the truce?" Huang Xu sighed.

Tai Shici frowned and said, "If you say that, don't we come back for nothing?"

Zhang Fei said indifferently: "Why did you come back in vain? It's true that Shuofang has ceased fighting, but there are still places where the fight is going on."

Huang Xu and Tai Shici looked at each other, frowned and said: "But the place has already been handed over to the Tiger Soul Army."

"The layout is small, isn't it?" Zhang Fei casually wiped the greasy corner of his mouth with his sleeve, "Dingxiang only has tens of thousands of mobs, not to mention the Tiger Soul Army, even the City Guard Army can easily solve it."

"Then where else can we fight?"

Both Huang Xu and Tai Shici had question marks on their faces, and even Zhang Hui looked at Zhang Fei curiously, wanting to know what insight he could gain as a younger brother.

Zhang Fei chuckled, as if sharing some great secret, and said cautiously in a low voice: "When I came back, I overheard the military adviser and the secret guard saying that the young master asked people to keep an eye on the three prefectures of You, Ji, and Yan. It is said that Yuan Shao is joining forces with Cao Cao to attack Gongsun Zan."

Huang Xu and the three looked at each other, Tai Shici was puzzled and said: "No, what does it matter to us if this family fights?"

Zhang Fei picked up the wine glass and drank it down, raised his eyebrows, and said: "It's a big deal, my son doesn't allow them to fight, and has already sent someone to persuade them to make peace."

"Uh..." Tai Shici was stunned for a while, he didn't understand, Wei Teng was amazing, but he couldn't control where he was going, right?
Zhang Hui was also puzzled. In fact, she shouldn't intervene in these matters, but she was really curious, "They are not allowed to fight, so why don't they really stop fighting?"

Huang Xu also nodded, feeling that Zhang Fei was speaking nonsense.

Zhang Fei smiled.

"Hey, don't you believe me, in fact, I would like them to fight, so at least we have something to do, but think about it, if you transfer both the Longshan Army and the Tiger Soul Army over in a fit of anger, would they still dare to fight? ?”

···
Yanzhou, Yecheng.

Cao Cao was so angry that he threw the paperweight in his hand towards the door.

"Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, this Wei Zhongdao is simply deceiving people too much. It's all right to save that old boy Tao Qian secretly. Now he even has to take care of this kind of thing!"

Guo Jia, Brother Xiahou, Cheng Yu and others in the hall looked at each other with expressions of displeasure.

However, the top priority is to persuade Cao Cao.

Guo Jia took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, don't make a small mistake. In fact, it is a good thing to reject Yuan Shao's alliance."

Cheng Yu thought about it, and cupped his fists and said, "That's right, Yanzhou is still some distance away from Youzhou, even if you really win Youzhou, it will be occupied by Yuan Shao at that time, it will not benefit us at all, it is better not to fight. "

Cao Cao calmed down, supported his forehead, and said angrily: "Of course I understand what you said, but now I finally have a chance to ease the relationship. You should also know that Yuan Shao is in Jizhou to defend us against the Wei family. Only when we are under such pressure can we continue to win steadily, if we don't agree to Yuan Shao's request, I'm afraid..."

"My lord, are you afraid of turning against Yuan Shao again?"

Guo Jia smiled, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there is no need to worry about this. No one knows about Yuan Shao's ambitions. Now he has broken his promise to take Jizhou, and he wants to join us in attacking Youzhou. The purpose is to unify the four northern states."

Cao Cao frowned slightly, looked at Guo Jia, and motioned for him to continue.

Guo Jia paced back and forth unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Let's not say that there is Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, he can't take Youzhou easily, even if it is Qingzhou, he dare not boast about Haikou, but Kong Rong in the North Sea Yuan Shao doesn't even dare to touch someone who is like the leader of a family."

"That's right, if Yuan Shao wants to grow bigger, he has to establish a good relationship with the nobles of the family." Cao Cao nodded in response.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and then said: "This is the first, and the second is that the four prefectures have now reached a tacit agreement. Gongsun Zan occupies Youzhou, Qingzhou is controlled by various aristocratic families, and Yanzhou is as solid as gold. Yuan Shao just wants to If we want to do something, we can only do something in Jizhou, and if we let him take Youzhou, the balance will be broken, and we will be in danger."

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to interrupt, and said excitedly: "But, didn't Yuan Shao say that he wanted to help us take Qingzhou?"

The smile on Guo Jia's face disappeared in an instant, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, Cai has already said that Qingzhou is controlled by several families of the big man. The Kong family alone is not easy to mess with. If we take Qingzhou, then Didn't he become the target of public criticism, Yuan Shao is using the lord as a shield."

"Ah, this..."

Cao Cao wasn't really stupid, he was just dazzled by the benefits, and when he came back to his senses this time, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Okay, good for you, Yuan Benchu, you actually want to use Cao to defend you against the mouths of the gentlemen in the world."

Guo Jia smiled knowingly, and said: "Of course, this may be that someone is thinking too much, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Even if Yuan Shao didn't think so, we can't offend so many aristocratic families at this time, and add trouble to ourselves."

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Guo Jia gratefully.

"The military adviser thinks, what should we do next?"

Guo Jia Nianxu stood still, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then said leisurely: "Don't move, use the same to cope with all changes, the autumn harvest is coming soon, after the autumn harvest, we will recruit troops, expand the army, enrich ourselves, To cope with all changes."

Cao Cao was still a little unwilling, "Then how will Yuan Shao respond?"

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Isn't this just a ready-made excuse? Mr. Wei Shijun is so overbearing, it seems that it is not too much for us to shrink back."

Cao Cao's eyelids twitched, but the reasoning is the same. If he can't beat others, he can only talk from the heart. He also has to admit that he is a tortoise, and he has to grow up first.

At this moment, Cao Cao really wanted to write a poem with the theme of the turtle, so as to motivate himself.

He had already thought of the title, and called it "Gui Shi Shou"...
