Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

However, with the specially developed powder, when sprinkled around the military camp, venomous snakes naturally dared not approach, and there were far fewer mosquitoes, allowing the soldiers throughout the camp to get a good rest.

As for food, in recent years, due to the increase in the variety of grains, various kinds of dried biscuits have been developed, as well as compressed biscuits that can be made by water power using current methods.

In general, taste shouldn't be the primary concern, but for soldiers, being well-fed and watered is more important.

"With Wenruo making the arrangements, I have nothing to worry about."

It would be better to unify the world as soon as possible. War is indeed too exhausting, and the people don't actually want such turmoil.

If it weren't for the tragic consequences of the later southward migration of the Hu people, Tang Yu would not have wanted to interfere in the course of history.

A normal change of dynasty is still part of Chinese civilization; it's just that a different family is in power. Tang Yu felt that he didn't need to get involved.

However, given the tragic situation in the north after the Three Kingdoms period, it's impossible for her to live decades later and tell the Sima family, "What you're doing won't work," because no one would listen to her then.

Therefore, Tang Yu ultimately chose this path.

Only when power is in your own hands can you create the future you desire.

"Yes, it would be better to unify the world as soon as possible."

After saying this, Xun Yu lowered his head and wrapped his arms around the warm and soft body of the woman.

"It's been so many years, and no matter how I adjust the spices, I can't seem to recreate the peach blossom scent that Jiaojiao has."

After whispering sweet nothings to each other for a long time, Xun Yu said these words with a smile.

Especially at times like this, inside the bed curtains, he would feel surrounded by that fragrance, which made him somewhat infatuated.

"Why be so fixated on this..."

Tang Yu smiled, her eyebrows and eyes exuding a captivating charm.

"My lord, you don't need to mix any perfumes. Your natural scent is already the same as mine, isn't it?"

This ambiguous flirting is captivating.

The couple had been married for over ten years, and Xun Yu no longer needed incense; his entire being had been imbued with Tang Yu's aura.

These words instantly made Xun Yu kiss his forehead affectionately.

Following that warm breath, I lowered my head and gave it a deep kiss.

Between lips and teeth lies endless affection.

Her jade-like neck was raised, embracing the ultimate pleasure.

Her pearly white teeth gently bit her rosy lips, emitting soft, lingering sounds that seemed both playful and delightful.

A surging, tidal wave of heat engulfed them, each touch igniting an even more intense flame.

Xun Yu's gaze fell on the tear-soaked eyelashes of the person beneath him, which he felt resembled dew-covered flower stamens, making him unable to resist the urge to embrace that pitiful yet alluring beauty.

And so they intertwined their fingers, entwined passionately...

Tang Yu met Jia Xu five days later. She had been resting at home for the past few days and also teaching her daughter.

When Tang Yu asked Jia Xu how to deal with Yuan Shao, Jia Xu gave an interesting answer.

"Yuan Shao favored his youngest son and neglected his eldest son, and the internal faction had split into two factions: the eldest son's faction and the youngest son's faction."

Once Yuan Shao passes away, chaos will surely ensue in Ji Province; these two brothers will absolutely not unite to fight against external enemies!

Is this a suggestion that she assassinate Yuan Shao?

"So, can Wenhe make this happen?"

When Tang Yu asked the question with a smile, Jia Xu shook his head.

"I don't have that ability, but the general does."

When the Chang'an prison caught fire, Xun Gongda disappeared, and then Cai Yong disappeared—weren't these all the general's doing?

The general's abilities are extraordinary; if he were to use them again now, the unification of the world would only be achieved more quickly.

Jia Xu's words instantly made Tang Yu laugh.

"You're quite an interesting person. Very well, then I'll trouble Wenhe to accompany me to Youzhou on this expedition!"

The weather turned completely cold in the following days.

Tang Yu departed at the end of the month, taking with him his trusted confidants and Jia Xu.

Before that, Tang Yu finally met Guo Jia.

Their meeting was quite dramatic. Guo Jia was drinking and chatting with Xun Yu when Tang Yu happened to return from outside, and that's how the two met for the first time.

Are you drinking peach blossom wine?

"I heard that this is a new flavor developed by the general, and it is very popular in Chang'an. I also think it tastes good."

There are naturally many kinds of peach blossom wine, but the one popular in Chang'an now is the one made by Tang Yu.

"An empty stomach is bad for your health. Wenruo should have the servants bring up some food."

Xun Yu smiled and agreed. Tang Yu did not stay to disturb the two of them reminiscing, but turned around and went to his study to handle some matters.

When Tang Yu left, Guo Jia said the following to Xun Yu.

"I thought the general must have a murderous aura, but I didn't feel it at all when we met for the first time today. I'm quite surprised."

Well, Tang Yu's appearance and temperament were completely different from what Guo Jia had imagined.

She was a beauty as lovely as a flower, a rare and precious bloom, yet she turned out to be a notorious killer on the battlefield!

"If the lady were to play the zither, you would definitely sense the murderous intent."

Xun Yu said this with a smile, and Guo Jia looked at the gentle smile on the man's face and sighed.

“In the past, some people secretly mocked Wenruo, but Wenruo was happy to accept it. I think there must be countless men in the world who are envious and jealous of you now.”

This remark made Xun Yu laugh out loud.

That's not envy or jealousy anymore.

Some political enemies planted spies around him in an attempt to seduce him, while some young men secretly approached Jiaojiao to recommend themselves.

Some of these people acted voluntarily, while others had powerful backers, and they employed countless tactics.

However, neither of them ever paid any attention to these people.

"Only I am worthy of her in this world; others are not worth mentioning."

It was rare to see such a domineering and powerful aura in Xun Yu, and Guo Jia suddenly felt a little envious.

Such deep and unwavering affection always seems beautiful to people.

"Wenruo, I think I have an answer now regarding the matter you asked me to consider..."

With the abilities of this couple, the world will eventually be under their control.

Chapter 20 Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms

In October of that year, Tang Yu arrived in the northern part of Bingzhou.

At this time, the provisions, weapons, and soldiers were all ready, just waiting for the order to start the battle.

In fact, fighting in winter was not very suitable in ancient times.

Neither the Hu people nor the Han people had any interest in fighting in winter.

The Han people liked to go to the grasslands to fight in the spring because the Hu people were weak at that time because their horses were thin and they themselves had not eaten enough after a winter.

The Hu people preferred to migrate south in the autumn because their horses were fat and strong, making them the most powerful, and they could then seize grain and property to prepare for the winter.

Winter is generally a time when neither side wants to fight; it's cold, hungry, and morale is low.

However, advancements in productivity will change this habit.

With the cultivation of cotton, cotton-padded clothes and quilts naturally began to be produced.

With thick cotton-padded clothes, they could naturally withstand the cold winter and would not freeze to death when the army went out in winter.

In addition, with various methods of food storage, the difficulties of winter can be overcome.

Duan Wei was a general from Liangzhou who was very skilled in cavalry warfare. There were many Wuhuan people in Youzhou, and they also had a lot of cavalry. So Duan Wei sent them to deal with the Wuhuan cavalry.

Xu Huang was from Hedong County and was actually quite capable in mounted combat, but Tang Yu mainly assigned him to command heavy infantry.

With the addition of other swordsmen, shieldmen, archers, and so on, the army finally began its attack on Youzhou.

Next to Yanmen County is Dai County, but if we go north, we can also take a detour and launch a surprise attack on Shanggu County. So we launched a two-pronged attack and caught the enemy off guard.

Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, was in charge of guarding Youzhou. The sudden attack by the Tang army shocked Yuan Xi, so he had no choice but to start an emergency response and immediately send a message to Yuan Shao.

"My lord, if we do not fight with all our might, and the Tang army advances eastward through the Eight Passes of Taihang, then Jizhou will be in danger!"

Tian Feng realized the seriousness of the situation almost immediately.

The attack on Youzhou is a minor matter; even if Youzhou is lost, there is still the ability to recover it.

However, during the years that the Tang army controlled Bingzhou, they had been gradually encroaching on and controlling several exits of the Taihang Mountains, namely the Eight Passes of Taihang.

Once the Tang army advances eastward from the Taihang Eight Passes, it can directly launch a large-scale attack on Jizhou.

Ji Province is Yuan Shao's stronghold. If the Tang army wins, then we will have truly lost!

Therefore, Yuan Shao had no choice but to do everything in his power to support the war in Youzhou and sent a large army to guard several exits of the Taihang Mountains.

Then, Yuan Shao contacted Cao Cao and Liu Biao to quickly send troops to attack the Tang army.

Liu Biao sent troops from Jingzhou to attack Yizhou, and Cao Cao sent troops to attack Hangu Pass. In short, they wanted to tie down the enemy's forces and prevent the Tang army from focusing all its efforts on Yuan Shao.

Xun Yu and Tang Yu had anticipated this situation, so Liu Biao and Cao Cao's military expeditions had little impact on them.

After all, they are attacking a pass, so they only need to send a small number of people to defend it.

The center of the battlefield remains in Youzhou.

At the same time, Lü Bu and Zhang Liao also sent troops eastward from the Taihang Mountains.

This forced Yuan Shao to send a large number of troops to defend Ji Province, so that the north could not send a large number of troops to resist.

So this war started last October and continued until the following spring without ending.
