Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 213

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and in the cold air of late autumn, the moonlight sprinkled is extremely cold, casting a faint silver light on the ships sinking and floating on the waves of the sea.

Zhen Mi and the girls stood by the side of the boat with oil lamps in their hands, watching happily the big boat under their feet braved the wind and waves, and pulled out a long white line at the stern.

The sound of the tide came from all directions, making the women who had never seen the sea even more excited.

Even though the guards in charge knew that Zhen Mi was Mrs. Yuan Xi and were not allowed to look directly at her, their gazes were involuntarily attracted to her.

When the sound of footsteps came, the guards took a closer look and saw that it was Yuan Xi who had arrived, and he quickly made himself up and stood upright.

Seeing Yuan Xi approaching, Zhen Mi said with a smile: "Husband, this trip is really worthwhile. I saw a lot of fish just now."

"Are all these fish edible?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Almost everything is fine."

"The sea is more fertile than the fertile land on the earth. If it can be used, fewer people will go hungry."

"Speaking of the land of fish and rice, it is near Jiangdong, and then you will be able to see a completely different scenery from the Northland."

Zhen Mi looked expectant, seeing the paper tube in Yuan Xi's hand, she asked curiously, "What is your husband holding?"

After Yuan Xi heard this, he said mysteriously: "In our hometown, this thing is called Sky-Changing Monkey."

"It means that this thing can jump into the sky in one go like a monkey."

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Mi's eyes widened, and even Cai Zhaoji and Cao Xian surrounded her curiously.

The three women looked at the ordinary paper tube, and said at the same time: "This thing is not a living thing, how can it reach the sky?"

Cai Zhaoji thought for a while and said, "Could it be shot with a bow?"

Yuan Xi laughed: "There are still some differences, you go away, let you watch something fun."

He found a small hole on the deck, and inserted the bamboo strip under the bamboo tube into it.

Seeing that Yuan Xi was holding the incense sticks and was about to light the matchlock under the bamboo tube, Zhen Mi was curious, so she took a few steps forward instead.

Seeing it, Yuan Xi said, "Do you want something?"

Zhen Mi nodded.

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Okay, let's come together."

He stuffed the incense into Zhen Mi's hand, and holding her wrist, the two of them slowly brought the incense closer to the match.

With a puff, the match was ignited, but it was soaked in a lot of oil, and now it burned suddenly, and it was shortened in an instant.

Yuan Xi didn't expect the fever to burn so fast, and without thinking about it, he suddenly bent over and hugged Zhen Mi, hugged her in his arms, turned around and ran away.

Zhen Mi screamed, Yuan Xi laughed happily, and ran away a foot away.

When Cai Zhaoji and Cao Xian saw each other, they also backed away in fright, wondering if this thing is scary?
The two ran away, and Yuan Xicai put Zhen Mi down on the ground. Zhen Mi's heart was pounding, and she barely stood with Yuan Xi's arms, staring at the bamboo tube.

As a result, after a while, the bamboo tube did not move at all.

Seeing Yuan Xi, he looked depressed. Was the match broken, or was the ratio of gunpowder in it wrong?

Zhen Mi couldn't help but angrily said to Yuan Xi: "Isn't your husband?"

At this moment, the small hole under the bamboo tube began to emit sparks.

At first it was dots, and then it became a thin pillar of fire, which began to drive the bamboo tube away from the deck, rising obliquely towards the sky.

Amid the exclamation of the crowd, flames sprayed from the bottom of the bamboo tube, pulling out a long-lasting flue, rising to a height of more than ten feet.

Zhen Mi laughed excitedly, her eyes completed the crescent moon, "Sure enough, my husband didn't cheat on my concubine."

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the bamboo tube exploded, releasing a huge bright spark in the air.

The crowd had never seen such a beautiful scene, they raised their heads and let out bursts of exclamation.

Sun Li yelled, "The monkey exploded!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and the deck was full of laughter.

Guo Jia Taishi Ci Tianyu and the three of them looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces.

It turns out that this is what Yuan Xi asked Qu Yi to do in private for more than half a year!

They are all proficient in the art of battle, and immediately understood the usefulness of this thing, something that can quickly transmit orders on the battlefield!

With it, not only can the enemy's information be sent back immediately, but also the subordinates in the distance can be directly commanded, which will greatly change the situation on the battlefield!
Only now did the three of them realize that Yuan Xi had already laid out all the keys to the capture of Guangling.

Guo Jia thought about it, and the more he understood Yuan Xi, the more he found that he often had to deal with unknown things that might happen in the future in advance.

From Guo Jia's point of view, this is really unbelievable, because even Guo Jia didn't predict the clues of many things happening!
Is there some mysterious expert behind Yuan Xi?

Guo Jia shook his head, did Yuan Xi have some secrets to keep from him?

Early the next morning, Zhen Mi woke up in Yuan Xi's arms as the ship swayed slightly.

She sat up with some difficulty, took the clothes to hide the spring light on her chest, stretched out her finger somewhat sadly, and flicked the sleeping Yuan Xi's forehead.

As a result, Yuan Xi's voice sounded: "Madam, do you want to murder your husband?"

Zhen Mi said bitterly: "You still said, how did you come up with these weird postures!"

"My husband has a very bad heart!"

Yuan Xi laughed, and pulled Zhen Mi into his arms: "What a big fuss, it's actually a normal thing between husband and wife, and it's the same in other people's homes."

Zhen Mi had a look of doubt, she was gradually awakening now, as a husband, sometimes she couldn't believe everything she said!
Yuan Xi secretly stretched out his hand, just about to cover a soft and round part, when he heard cheers from outside the window, "It's a fairyland, a fairyland!"

Not long after, Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi hurriedly put on their clothes, walked out of the cabin, and saw people lying excitedly on the side of the boat, pointing to the distance.

Yuan Xi saw that the side of the boat was crowded with people, so he simply took Zhen Mi up to the height of the bow, and saw several large islands shrouded in clouds and mist, appearing on the sea level, and there seemed to be a high mountain in the middle.

The rising sun dyed the waves into golden-red broken spots, which complemented the black shadows shrouded in white clouds, like a heavenly palace hidden in the clouds.

Zhen Mi was surprised: "Is that the so-called Penglai Wonderland?"

Yuan Xi calculated the approximate location, and he had already arrived at Donglai County, Qingzhou. He thought that this might really be the island near Penglai at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea in later generations.

The origin of Penglai City is that in the first year of Taichu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the Penglai Mountain in the sea from Penglai. According to the records in Yuanhe County Chronicles by Li Jifu of the Tang Dynasty, "In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Mount Penglai here. Because of the construction of the city, it was named after Penglai."

But this Penglai, and the fairyland of Penglai in mythology, are actually not the same thing.

Legend has it that Mount Penglai is not included in the Kyushu, but in the East China Sea, there are immortals living on it, which is obviously not the same thing as what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw.

Zhen Mi stared at the beautiful scenery in the clouds and mist, and said softly: "My husband is able to bring my concubine to see the mountains, rivers and seas. I am very happy."

"But the concubine always feels that the husband's doing things are not so simple, and there must be deep meaning in it."

"The concubine is thinking, does the husband want to let the concubine understand something?"

Yuan Xi put his arms around Zhen Mi's slender waist, and said, "Madam is indeed smart."

"But these can only be felt, not expressed in words."

"Ma'am, just remember that the Han family is in the world, and the marshes are in the sea. Everyone should be able to see this great river and mountain."

"However, in this troubled world, most people can't eat enough to eat, but we can live a leisurely life at sea."

"Without the people growing food, without the protection of soldiers, without everyone working together, where would we be now?"

After hearing this, Zhen Mi said softly: "I understand what my husband said, and I will definitely think about it carefully, as the wife of the governor, what should I do in the future."

Yuan Xi thought in his heart that if Zhen Mi had such an idea, his purpose of bringing her out would be achieved.

Otherwise, in the future, Zhen Mi, as his main wife, if his thinking is deviated and his actions are wrong, it will have a bad impact on his back house and the people of Youzhou, and even affect more people in the far future. people.

Zhen Mi thought for a while, then asked doubtfully: "I think that the first thing that should be considered about what your husband said, shouldn't be today's wife?"

Yuan Xi said: "That's right, but Madam, do you know the current situation of Emperor Han?"

Zhen Mi nodded and said: "Sister Zhaoji told me that she is returning to Luoyang in the east now, and it seems that all parties are fighting hard."

Yuan Xi thought to himself that not only was he powerful, but he was almost out of his mind.

While Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi were admiring the scenery at sea, Liu Xie was yelling at Fu Shou: "The thief is so rude!"

Since the last time Liu Xie hosted a banquet, Guo Si made a fuss at the banquet, and after being dismissed by Shi Sun Rui, he even left the convoy overnight with his troops.

When the ministers and ministers were rejoicing, Wu Xi from Guo Si's dispatch department set fire to Liu Xie's schoolhouse. Yang Ding and Dong Cheng welcomed Liu Xie into Yang Feng's camp, and fought hard against Guo Si's army, forcing Guo Si to abandon his army and flee to Nanshan.

During the period, General Ning Ji Duan Yan took over, but the servant Zhong Zhongji had a good relationship with Yang Ding and told Duan Yan face to face. The Taiwei Yang Biao, Situ Zhao Wen and others were killed. On that day, Liu Xie worked hard and finally persuaded the two parties to make peace.

However, at this time, Li Jue, who was stationed in Chiyang, sent troops to the east and joined Guo Si to save Duan Yao. Because of disagreement with Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji rebelled again and conspired with Li Jue and Guo Si to keep Liu Xie in Hongnong. .

The three armies pursued to Hongnong Dongjian, where Yang Feng and others were defeated. Guang Luxun Deng Quan, Tingwei Xuanbo, and Shesheng Xiaowei Jujun died in the battle.

The scholar Sun Rui who scolded Guo Si during the banquet was also killed, but the irony is that the officials who did not stand up did not escape, and suffered heavy casualties.

Now Liu Xie is fled in embarrassment by Dong Chengyang Feng, and Li Jue and Guo Si are chasing after him. Seeing that Dong Chengyang Feng is gradually unable to resist these days, Liu Xie is startled and afraid. If he is captured by Li Jue and Guo Si again , wouldn't the hard work of this year be in vain?
Seeing that Liu Xie was very worried, Fu Shou said, "Tian family, can't you seek help from the princes of the world?"

After hearing this, Liu He said angrily: "All the princes in the world have evil intentions!"

"Now that I am in trouble, where are they?"

"Everyone is watching my joke!"

"What kind of princes, even the Yellow Turban Bandit, even the Black Mountain Bandit and the White Wave Bandit, know how to beg for title from the Han Dynasty!"

He suddenly marched, isn't this the territory of the white wave thief?

Since the princes are unreliable, why not rely on them?
What the Baibo thief wants is an official position, which is the easiest for him, as long as he moves his mouth, he can have it!
Thinking of this, he suddenly got up and said to the palace: "Call Dong Cheng over!"
