Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 262 Dear, let’s have a round of Three Kingdoms Kill? ([-]-in-[-])

Diao Chan is pregnant, and everyone in the Liu family is overjoyed.

Diao Chan's boudoir was crowded with women, and the dignified Jinwu could only squeeze outside the door and peek his head in.

Cai Yan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Ah, ah, this time I can see clearly that face is what matters in this world after all! Okay, sisters are here today to make room for someone."

The husbands all stood on tiptoes and stretched out their necks, the hostess also spoke, and all the female family members laughed and said goodbye to Diao Chan.

On the way out, he deliberately rolled his eyes at someone.

Before Cai Yan could come out, Liu Bei walked into the house.

The beautiful concubine's face was filled with pride, and the little resentment of the past was swept away.

Seeing her husband, Diao Chan suddenly turned into a frail little woman and began to suffer miserably.

"Husband, I feel a little cold."

"For my husband, I will ask someone to add a fire kang."

"This bed is a little uncomfortable."

"Go get two down blankets for your husband."

"Husband, I want to eat some fruit."

"Whatever you want to eat, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you right now!"

"Ome."

"Buy... Chan'er, why don't you change it to something else?"

"No, I want Qingmei. My husband has promised to be my concubine. I can't keep my word!"

"But this thing is only available in July and August. In this snowy day, my husband really can't buy it!"

"Then tell a story."

"Okay, what story does Chan'er want to hear?"

"Tell ten pregnancy stories, none of them the same!"

"Ten?"

Looking at her stunned husband, Cai Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Pfft!"

Diao Chan is an eccentric person who takes advantage of her pregnancy to tease and tease her husband in various ways.

"Tch, don't you think I'm an eyesore? I'm leaving, that's it!"

Cai Yan opened the door curtain, but turned around and warned Diao Chan: "When you are with your husband, don't mess around!"

Diao Chan blinked her big innocent eyes and asked, "What if my husband forces me and my sister is unable to restrain the chicken?"

"Cold salad!"

Cai Yan replied angrily and got out.

This little girl did it on purpose.

Cai Yan trusted her husband. Over the years, Liu Bei had always been very self-disciplined. Although sometimes ridiculous, he took better care of pregnant women than women.

Sure enough, as soon as he went out, the conversation in the house became normal.

"Husband, do you think they are two boys, two girls, or twins?"

"Chan'er is thinking about two boys, right?"

"Hey, how do you know, husband?"

"Hey, only women know how hard it is for women. How could a mother want her daughter to suffer such hardship?"

"Ah, this..."

After a long time, Diao Chan continued: "It's all your fault, you made me cry. In fact, it's not entirely right. I and my sisters are with my husband, and every day is happy and not bitter at all. Husband, you are so kind, Come up here and give me a hug..."

Yeah, I can't listen to this anymore.

Cai Yan curled his lips and left quietly.

When the emperor's uncle was recruiting new members, two partners in the south greatly expanded their strength with the help of the anti-Dong alliance.

The first one to take action was the Tigers of Jiangdong.

After capturing Danyang Guangling, Jianye was like fat on the lips.

Planned by Zhang Zhao and Zhao Yu, and deliberately provoking a dispute, three thousand Yuejia launched a swift attack and captured the city defense in just three days.

Zu Mao Zang Ba sent troops from Lingling in Guiyang, first went to Luling and then captured Linchuan. Suddenly he sent troops northward to encircle Yuzhang County.

Yuzhang is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. Its geographical location is extremely important. The city has high walls and thick walls, and there are sufficient soldiers. Therefore, it fought fierce battles with the Wu army for days.

Yuan Shu, who received the notification, was also extremely surprised by Wu Jun's appetite.

He immediately sent someone to question Sun Jian and asked Zu Mao Zang Ba to return to Jingnan.

Sun Jian admitted his mistake to the envoy and entertained him with food, drinks and entertainment, which made the envoy dizzy.

But he urged Zu and Zang to speed up the progress of the Yuzhang war.

Zu Mao frowned, but Zang Ba understood it.

The next day, thousands of civilians outside the city were taken to the city by Zang Ba's troops and cooperated with the Wu army to attack the city.

The Yuzhang defenders were dumbfounded. These were all fellow villagers from their own hometown, and even their own family members and friends. They couldn't attack them with bows, arrows, and stones.

The governor of Yuzhang scolded Wu Jun for being shameless, and watched with tears as Wu Jun climbed to the top of the city.

Morale was waxing and waning, and the Yuzhang defenders had no support for city defense and were no match for the tiger and wolf divisions.

After seven days of fierce fighting, Yuzhang County fell into the hands of Sun Jian in disgrace.

So far, Guiyang, Lingling, Wujun, Danyang, Guangling, Jianye, Luling, Linchuan and Yuzhang counties have become Sun Jian's basic base.

If you really want to count, Sun Jian has a larger territory and more strength than many state pastoralists. Therefore, the Wu army is quite arrogant.

After learning that Yuzhang had fallen, Yuan Shu became angry and launched an alliance again to attack the disobedient rebels.

But to his disappointment, almost no one responded.

Cao Cao said that the grape trellis in the backyard fell down and he had broken bones and muscles and needed to recover.

Liu Biao said that his old cold legs were broken and he could not walk in the winter.

Zhang Lu was worried that he would offend Zang Ba Zumao and not even become the governor of Jingnan, so he simply announced his retreat to practice Taoism.

Tao Qian was also worried that Xiapi would be robbed by Sun Guan, so he only provided [-] shi of rice and food, and wrote a letter of persuasion to Sun Jian, asking him to respect Leader Yuan so that everyone could live with it.

As for the other princes, as the new year is approaching, they are sweeping the snow in front of their own homes, not wanting to get involved in the internal disputes in Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu was so angry that he cursed loudly in Jiujiang, but nothing happened.

At this time, Sun Jian listened to Zhang Zhao's opinion and took a two-pronged approach to remove fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.

While sending money and beauties to Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were asked to go to Yuan's house and express their loyalty to Yuan Ji.

Yuan Shu caused a stir in Jiujiang. Yuan Ji already knew the inside story and received Sun Ce and Zhou Yu politely.

According to his judgment, Sun Jian's strong soldiers and horses are by no means a thing in the pool. Sooner or later, all counties in Jiangdong will be in his pocket.

Now that his position is sensitive and he has no soldiers, Yuan Shu is really a fool.

The top priority is not to force Sun Jian to side with Lu Zhi.

The Grand Tutor accepted the gift list, comforted the two juniors with gentle words, and finally displayed ingenious political means.

Soon, Yuan Shu of Jiujiang and Sun Jian of Wujun received letters from Yuan Ji almost at the same time.

Then, one was depressed and the other wondered.

However, due to Taifu's dignity, Sun Jian prepared a new gift list and asked Tao Qian for help.

Tao Qian would not miss the opportunity to show his favor to the Taifu and immediately left for Jiujiang happily.

Yuan Shu looked like a reluctant loser, but he didn't dare to go against the family master's wishes, and finally nodded and acknowledged the marriage.

As a result, Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Quan, and Yuan Mei, the eldest daughter of Yuan Shu, successfully got engaged.

Even though Yuan Mei was only 11 years old, with every drop of her saliva, even if Yuan Shu and Sun Jian died tonight, this marriage would still be unbreakable.

Sun Ce, who belatedly realized that he was going to marry the little girl from the Yuan family, had a wonderful expression on his face.

In order to comfort his good gay friend, Zhou Yu took him to Zhenji Teahouse to listen to music to relieve his boredom.

While listening to the music, Zhou Yu tried to persuade him: "After all, I am the fourth generation and the third prince. No matter how many people ask me, I can't get anything. Don't take advantage of me and act like a good boy. You will easily be struck by lightning!"

Sun Ce was young and energetic, and had a big heart. He couldn't bear the thought of recognizing a prodigal as his hero.

"What a waste of time. I shouldn't stay in Dongdu. I might as well go to Nanyang with the United Fleet like Xiao Cao! That guy's military exploits are too numerous to count!"

"Hahaha!" Zhou Yu laughed heartlessly and patted Sun Ce on the shoulder like a big brother.

"Xianbei and Goguryeo have been defeated by the emperor, and Nanyang is about to be wiped out. To be honest, it is probably quite difficult to earn military glory these days!"

Sun Ce lamented: "Why am I so unlucky! Ah!"

Zhen Shiqi had discovered the two boys a long time ago. She was heartbroken when she saw Sun Ce, so she personally came forward to serve them with refreshments.

"Two young gentlemen, you are here to see us, you are so beautiful! Be careful and smile when you see us!"

All three of them knew each other. Zhou Yu smiled and greeted, "Boss Zhen, business is booming!"

Zhen Shiqi saw that his ability to talk to people was getting better and better, and he clasped his fists and said: "I don't dare to take it! It all depends on the boss's reward for the meal, and thanks to the care of Jiangdong friends, otherwise our small teahouse will have to drink from the northwest wind!"

"Where! Your account is the best at doing business. This business is comparable to that of salt and iron. Every day you make money! By the way, what is Uncle Liu Shi busy with these days?"

Zhen Shiqi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Young one is just a helper, how can you know what is going on in the emperor's uncle's house?"

Seeing that Zhou Yu refused to give up and his eyes were burning, he revealed a little bit.

"However, there seems to be something new going on at the Beijiao Villa."

Zhou Yu's eyes instantly lit up, as if he had turned on a pair of high-beam lights.

Beijiao Villa has recently become the scientific research center of Yongzhou. A large number of craftsmen and talents have gathered here, so there must be big moves.

When Zhen Shiqi returned to the counter, Zhou Yu poked his good friend and said, "How about we go to see Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to play?"

Sun Ce understood in his heart that this was not just for fun. He clearly wanted to take the opportunity to spy on the secrets of the Yongzhou Army.

So what are you waiting for? They went to the signature restaurant to pack up large portions of fine wine and food, and the two of them rode straight to the northern suburbs.

In addition to training the new army, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao also participated in professional training, and they were all dumbfounded.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were nominally Liu Bei's juniors and were not on the quarantine list, so they were invited into a separate courtyard.

In addition to shooting guns and riding in fixed-position hot air balloons, Sun Tuesday took the opportunity to enter the scientific research laboratory.

Zhou Yu pointed to the huge iron lump on the workbench and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Steam engine."

Sun Ce asked inexplicably: "Steam engine? What is it used for?"

Zhang Mei replied: "Mining, pumping, grinding, and even sailing!"

After saying that, she waved her hand, and someone poured a bucket of water in, then blew the wind to light a fire.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu watched the huge iron lump tremble with "whoosh, whoosh", and then let out a huge and harsh "wuwuwu!" whistle.

my goodness!

Thousands of kilograms of iron lumps can actually move on their own. It's really a miracle!

.........

Entering December, Cao's army, which was ready to go, divided into two groups from Badong. With lightning speed, it seized the four counties of Yidu, Wuling, Shangyong and Xiangyang.

Cao's army came in force, and the governor of Nanyang County was so frightened that he set off to the east capital in advance to make a plan. However, the general Cao Ren considered that Nanyang was the hometown of the emperor and did not enter the country.

Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, had finally been looking forward to Yuan Shao's departure. He was not happy for two days when Cao Ah Ma came again. He was really upset.

Now that things have happened, he finally understands that he is the softest and reddest persimmon, and everyone likes to pinch it if he is not good at literature or martial arts.

Zhou Xin failed to be promoted with Yuan Shao because he was not a direct descendant after all, but now, a new opportunity fell in front of him.

He visited Wang Rui at home and gave him advice.

"Is the governor worried about Jingbei?"

Wang Rui knew that the Nanjun worker in front of him was first driven away by Sun Jian and then abandoned by Yuan Shao. His fate seemed to be more tragic than his own.

Inexplicably, his mood improved a lot.

"Zhou Zhengzhi, you and I are not outsiders. If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I dare to ask the governor, who is the hero in the world today?"

Wang Rui blinked and didn't speak for a while.

You're not a fool, are you?

Besides, we didn’t serve you green plum wine either?
Wang Rui's expression was clear to Zhou Xin, and he smiled lightly and said: "If I am not afraid of offending, if I change the place, I will dedicate the land of Jingbei to Cao Mengde."

"Oh!" Wang Rui became interested and asked hurriedly: "Why Cao Mengde?"

Zhou Xin asked, "Why can't it be him?"

As if a spiritual orifice had been opened, Wang Rui understood what Zhou Xin meant.

If he were a soft persimmon, compared with Zhang Lu, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian, Cao Cao's shortcomings would not be so obvious.

Even though the other party was not his ideal master, Cao Aman's bite seemed to be less painful than when he was surrounded by a pack of wolves.

In fact, in this miserable world, my choices are very limited.

However, it is still very reluctant to hand over the territory and rights to others.

So, he asked again: "Zhou Zhizhi, once the decision is made, you and I will become the same as each other!"

After Zhou Xin's great enlightenment, he took a longer-term view.

He asked with a smile: "Provincial Governor, do you know that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain?"

"You mean Jingbei?"

"No, no! The governor is guessing."

Wang Rui suddenly realized that there was no room for two tigers in one mountain, and Bashu would definitely rule together.

Sooner or later, Cao Mengde and Liu Jingsheng will fight to the death.

Even children know the principle of horse bones in the market of a thousand pieces of gold.

In order to deal with Yizhou Mu, Cao Mengde will never treat those who surrender badly.

That's it!

As a result, the two fallen people from the end of the world looked at each other, smiled, and cherished each other.

As an envoy, Zhou Xin first met Cao Ren, then went to Badong Base Camp to meet Cao Cao in person.

When he heard that Zhou Xin had arrived, Cao Cao put down the chicken legs and ran out barefoot.

The posture of Corporal Li Xian was simply terrifying.

Cao Cao had a broad mind and a vast knowledge. His Cai family was a big family in Jingzhou, and he was very familiar with the local people and people in northern Jingzhou.

Therefore, in his opinion, the conditions of Zhou Xin and Wang Rui were not worth mentioning.

"Excuse me, Zhou Zhi, and give a message to Governor Wang. Cao doesn't want a penny or a grain of grain in Jingbei. He just wants to borrow land to do some business and recruit some volunteers."

Zhou Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, and even gave Cao Cao heartfelt advice to help him seize Changsha, the heart of Jingzhou.

The two sides hit it off immediately, so Cao Ren sent his army south and, with the support of Wang Rui, made a surprise attack on Changsha City.

At this point, Cao Jun's troops were aimed at Zhang Lu and Zang Ba in Jingnan.

When Sun Quan learned that Changsha had been stolen by Lao Cao, he was furious. He personally led the Wu navy to sail up the river in warships, arrived at Jiangxia County, and announced that he would punish Jingbei.

Jiangxia is the home base of the Cai family, and the losses will be immeasurable if a war breaks out.

Not to be outdone, Cai Mao joined forces with Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, and organized more than [-] large and small river boats to line up on the river to warn Sun Jian not to act recklessly.

Tigers are also afraid of wolves.

Zu Mao was well versed in naval warfare, and he also understood that the naval strength of the Cai family and Huang Zu should not be underestimated, so he advocated avoiding war.

But Sun Jian couldn't bear this breath, so he ordered Zang Ba to send troops to threaten Changsha.

However, Cao Ren, who was proficient in the art of war, was both offensive and defensive, and a series of false and true feints made the thief-turned-thief Zang Ba so excited that he finally had to withdraw from Changsha County.

At this time, Sun Jian finally realized why Uncle Liu Huang had used Lao Cao as his partner.

They really have the ability to serve on the table.

Just when Sun Jian was riding a tiger and was unable to dismount, Xu You of Nanyang came forward to negotiate peace between the two families.

After Cao Jun ensured that he would not go down to Jingnan, but Jiangxia, and the line of actual control between the two sides was used as the boundary, Sun Jian, who barely regained his dignity, returned to Wu Commandery angrily.

In Wuji City, Liu Bei smiled when he received the news that the two card partners were almost beaten out of their wits.

My dream of the Three Kingdoms is about to come true.

Everyone should work hard and have a good time next year.

Hahaha, oh yeah!

The third volume is over.
