Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 111: The power of the family, another wedding night
It was decided that Liu Bei would be promoted to the title of king. Everyone was preparing to eat and drink to their heart's content and re-immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere, but they noticed that Xing Daorong's expression was not very good.

I felt strange and thought Xing Daorong had other intentions.

But Ma Liang stepped forward again and said, "General Xing, on such a happy day, why are you so sad?"

Xing Daorong's mouth twitched slightly, but he suppressed it with great difficulty, and finally held back his expression. He sighed and said, "Hey! To be honest with you, I want to build a strong army recently to deal with Cao Cao's cavalry."

"It's just that the weapon is a little special. You need to use more iron ore."

"Yi and Jing are the only two places that lack mines. This has been on my mind for a long time, and I don't know what to do."

When the eldest brother is in trouble, the brothers naturally have to stand up for him.

Isn’t Xing Daorong the most important person in Liu Bei’s mind among the Jingzhou Group now?

Originally there was Pang Tong, but now that Pang Tong is dead, Xing Daorong is the only one left.

So when Xing Daorong raised this difficult question, everyone immediately started to think about whether there was anything they could do to help.

There is strength in numbers.

This group of aristocratic people mixed together and actually knew where to get some iron ore.

Although the number does not sound large, it is better than nothing.

This idea was also taught to Xing Daorong by Zhuge Liang.

If he was asked to get iron ore, Zhuge Liang did not have the ability to create something out of nothing, but since Zhuge Liang did not have it, the aristocratic families did.

He asked Xing Daorong to ask the noble families in Jingzhou and think of a solution.

This is why Xing Daorong is so pretentious.

Xing Daorong listened to everyone racking their brains to figure out where to get the iron ore, and he thanked them one by one.

Suddenly, Zhao Fan, who had been silent in the crowd, suddenly said, "Zi Yu, I know there are several iron mines in Jiaozhou, but Jiaozhou is now in the hands of Sun Quan in Jiangdong, so it is difficult to operate."

correct!

Jiaozhou!

Cui Yan once told me when we were chatting that there are iron mines in Nanling.

But Jiaozhou has now surrendered to Jiangdong.

When Liu Bei took action against Yizhou, Sun Quan was not completely idle.

In the 15th year of Jian'an, Bu Zhi was appointed as the prefect of Poyang.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhou has been difficult to control due to its remote location. The former Jiaozhou governors Zhu Fu and Zhang Jin were forced to flee and were killed because they could not effectively control the situation. When Liu Biao governed Jingzhou, he sent Lai Gong as the governor of Jiaozhou and Wu Ju as the prefect of Cangwu.

Later, the two of them fell out with each other, and Wu Ju expelled Lai Gong to Lingling County. Lai Gong then asked Sun Quan for help. Sun Quan immediately transferred Bu Zhi to be the governor of Jiaozhou, appointed him as the General of Wu Zhonglang, and led more than a thousand military officers to march south to take over Jiaozhou.

After Wu Ju was killed by Bu Zhi, Jiaozhi prefect Shi Xie led his people to surrender to Sun Quan. Shi Xie was appointed as the left general by Sun Quan, and Jiaozhou became Sun Quan's territory from then on.

unfortunately
If I had more time and took Jiaozhou earlier, I wouldn't have these worries.

It's really hard to deal with it right now.
Xing Daorong frowned and said, "Since this is the land of Dongwu, it's not easy to make random plans."

Everyone nodded, not taking it too seriously.

After all, everyone knows that Liu Bei and Sun Quan are still allies and are going to fight against Cao Cao together.

Besides, Xing Daorong had just welcomed a beauty from Jiangdong. He couldn't just welcome her here and then start thinking about someone else's place later.

It would be bad if there was a misunderstanding over a little iron ore.

But no one expected that although Xing Daorong let it go on the surface, he had already silently kept the matter in mind.

From today on, the area of ​​Jiaozhou is also within his consideration.

After talking about the iron mine, everyone was finally able to immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere.

Although he and Fan Yufeng had already had a marriage experience, that time Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others were all present, and Xing Daorong was not that close to them, so the drinking was still good.

But this time it was different. After they became close, they became more unscrupulous in persuading others to drink, especially Ma Chao, Bao Long, Huang Zhong, etc. They could drink a lot and directly made Xing Daorong drunk.

If it weren't for the fact that he had important things to do at night, I'm afraid Xing Daorong would have collapsed on the table under the repeated bombardment today.

But even if Xing Daorong was let off, he was still a little dazed and walked unsteadily, and it was difficult for him to enter the bridal chamber.

How does it feel when the groom gets drunk on his wedding night?
Da Qiao didn't seem to be disgusted. In fact, it was beyond her expectation that so many people would come today.

To put it bluntly, she escaped this time.

But he didn't expect that even if he escaped, there would still be so many celebrities coming to this wedding banquet.

The atmosphere is very lively.

Seeing General Xing, now it should be said that her husband, staggered into the house, Da Qiao hurried over to hold him.

Suddenly, I felt a masculine aura tinged with alcohol coming towards me.

The strong arms can help her fight on the battlefield outside and provide her with the safest environment inside.

She was finally not alone anymore.
With all kinds of thoughts in her mind, Da Qiao supported Xing Daorong with difficulty and finally got him to the bed.

It's no wonder. Xing Daorong is a strong man who has fought on the battlefield for many years. It's really not easy for Da Qiao, with her small body, to withstand him.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Da Qiao turned around and saw her husband staring at her closely.

His eyes were filled with deep love and fondness, and under the candlelight, they looked particularly gentle.

Listening to the slightly trembling breathing under the soft candlelight, it seemed as if the whole world was quietly listening to the sound of two heartbeats.

Da Qiao lowered her head, her lips trembling slightly as she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xing Daorong was seven parts drunk and three parts sober. Hearing Da Qiao's trembling voice, he immediately smiled and said, "Look at the lady, she is as beautiful as a flower..."

Da Qiao's heart trembled when she heard this. When she looked up, she saw that the corners of Xing Daorong's mouth were slightly upturned, revealing his inner joy and expectation.

The faint candlelight beside reveals endless tenderness and love.

Da Qiao suddenly felt that she had a thousand things on her mind and wanted to talk them all out with Xing Daorong.

"Truth comes out when drunk. Just ask this once."

Thinking of this, Da Qiao mustered up her courage and asked softly, "My husband has come to our house twice, and I can see that he really has no intention of marrying me."

"Why are you so determined when something happened in this mansion?"

Xing Daorong's clear mind finally stopped him from saying, "Because I was the one who screwed the Qiao family this time." He just said in a low voice, "At that time, I just felt that what my father-in-law asked for was too ridiculous."

"There is a huge gap between us, but I've never thought about it."

"When I heard that Lu Su came to act as a matchmaker, I knew that the Marquis of Wu also agreed to this matter, so I came here."

Da Qiao nodded slightly, but she remembered that Xing Daorong was almost killed in Lukou, and she couldn't help but feel moved. She leaned close to Xing Daorong and said, "Thanks to my husband's bravery, nothing happened this time."

Xing Daorong was a little drunk after all.

He put his arm around Da Qiao and laughed, "When Lu Su told me to go, I had already expected the Jiangdong people to ambush me. But I have never feared life or death. Even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will still go!"

"Besides, if I don't go, what will you do?"

Da Qiao was stunned when she heard this. She had never expected that Xing Daorong had already guessed that her trip was full of dangers.

Presumably so
If he had not anticipated this, how could Guan Yu have come to the rescue as soon as he waved the red flag?

just
It turns out that Xing Daorong was... He knew it was so dangerous, but he still came here without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Da Qiao no longer wanted to ask any more questions in her mind.

She knew that Xing Daorong would fight for her, and that was enough.

With this thought, all the entanglements in Da Qiao's heart were resolved. She lowered her head and said, "Husband, you have drunk too much. Let's not talk nonsense anymore and go to bed early."

After that, the curtains were put down and the atmosphere was immediately in place.
