In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

"What do those craftsmen and ordinary people regard you as now? As a living fairy!"

"Think about it."

"From now on, when you walk down the street, people won't point at you and say, 'That's Sun Quan's sister,' but will sincerely call you 'Her Benefactor' or 'Her Bodhisattva.'"

"Isn't this reputation, this prestige, the support of 100,000 people... more valuable than those few boxes of cold, moldy gold in the warehouse?"

Sun Shangxiang can be considered a military general, though.

I'm not actually that sensitive to money.

But he places great importance on "reputation", "honor" and "foundation".

The phrase "outsider" in particular struck a nerve with her.

What she feared most was being treated as an outsider when she arrived in the North.

"Really...really?"

"Do the people really think that way?"

"Absolutely true, would I lie to you?"

"If you keep the people in your heart, the people will lift you up high."

"If you don't believe me, go for a walk in the streets tomorrow! Now the nursery rhyme in Ye City goes like this: 'The Bronze Sparrow Terrace, soaring into the clouds, Lady Zhao is a noblewoman!' (Actually, it was made up by Zhao Yugang).

Sun Shangxiang blushed. "Fairy" was a much more palatable term than "tiger mom."

and,

Since the money was used to win people's hearts and consolidate her position in her husband's family, it wasn't a waste.

Cao Jie, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, finally put his abacus to work.

She knew, of course, that Zhao Yu was using a fallacy to mislead her.

Do you get paid for performing corvée labor?

Where can you find such a good thing?

It's probably because he couldn't stand it anymore...

But the money was spent, and the reputation was indeed gained.

However, it must be said that Zhao Yu's ability to "get something for nothing" and use his wife's savings to develop infrastructure is truly exceptional.

"younger sister,"

"Zhao Yu's actions were a bit absurd, but his reasoning... wasn't too bad."

Money can be gathered again after it's gone, but the title of this fairy goddess is priceless.

The reason Father was so happy today, and the reason his kneeling was so moving, is also thanks to this money from my husband.

With Cao Jie as a stepping stone,

What else can Sun Shangxiang do?

"Okay."

Let's let it go this time.

If this reputation isn't as good as you make it out to be...

"Money-back guarantee!"

Zhao Yu immediately made a promise.

Sun Shangxiang rolled her eyes at him:

"Who asked you to back out!"

I mean, from now on, you'll be responsible for earning back all the household expenses!

My female soldiers have been eating too much meat lately, and their palates have become too picky. You have to pay for that!

"Admit it! We must admit it!"

"From now on, I'll be responsible for earning money to support the family, and you'll be responsible for protecting the country!"

……

The first day was a literary contest.

The next day will be the day of armed conflict.

If yesterday's literary gathering was "romantic and poetic," today's martial arts banquet is "iron horses and icy rivers."

The fierce generals under Cao Cao of the Han Dynasty were already eager to fight.

The center of Tongque Square has been converted into a drill ground.

Instead of displaying swords and spears, a military simulation sand table was placed there.

"Today's first battle will not be a contest of strength, but of strategy!"

Jia Xu was the one who set the questions.

The problem is as follows: Imagine 100,000 Wuhuan cavalrymen intending to march south, capture Ye City, and take Xudu. Our army has only 30,000 infantrymen. Who can solve this problem?

Once this question was posed...

Very good.

This was both a precautionary measure and a test of the generals' views on the Wuhuan and other barbarian forces.

"I'll do it!"

Cao Ren was a representative of the Cao clan, and was famous for his skill in defending the territory.

"The Wuhuan cavalry excels in open field battles but is ill-suited for siege warfare. I advocate the 'turtle shell' tactic!"

Deep moats and high walls were built, the fields were cleared and fortified, and deer antlers and barricades were planted everywhere.

No matter how their cavalry charge, I will remain unmoved! When their supplies run out, they will fall into disarray!

At that time, our army can annihilate the enemy with minimal casualties!

"More cautious than ambitious."

Among the generals on the right, Zhang Liao stepped forward. If you were to ask who the Wuhuan people had the deepest impression of, it would naturally be Zhang Liao.

In the Battle of White Wolf Mountain, the Wuhuan Chanyu Tadun was killed.

"General Cao's method is sound, but it is still a passive way to be attacked."

In my humble opinion, we should adopt an offensive strategy instead of a defensive one!

Although the Wuhuan people are numerous, they are likely a disorganized mob, so a night raid is the best course of action.

This humble general is willing to lead eight hundred elite soldiers to raid their camp at night while they are still establishing themselves and break their morale!

We will then ambush them at the pass, luring them deep into our territory before attacking while they are crossing! Let them become another stepping stone in our Battle of White Wolf Mountain.

The two played back and forth on the sand table, deducing and strategizing.

Cao Ren was in charge of defense, leaving no room for error;

Zhang Liao was the main attacker, employing a combination of orthodox and unorthodox tactics.

Other generals, such as Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang, also joined the fray, arguing heatedly.

Zhao Yu watched with great interest, and casually popped a piece of meat into his mouth.

"Fantastic! Brilliant!"

"However, if the Wuhuan can reach Ye City, then the sun will probably really rise from the west."

finally,

It was Cao Cao who made the final decision.

"Zixiao's defense and Wenyuan's attack are both excellent strategies."

When combined, they form the impregnable fortress of the Han Dynasty!

It still has to be Cao Cao; he gives face to both his own generals and those from other factions.

After the mental activity, the real "archery and horsemanship competition" began.

The difficulty has increased.

Below the edge of the training ground, nine golden bells, each no bigger than a fist, hung.

rule:

He galloped across the road on horseback, and from a hundred paces away, shot down the golden bell.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The arrow pierced the air.

Xiahou Yuan is still as sharp as ever.

As the horse galloped at full speed,

Three arrows were fired in quick succession.

He hit all three golden bells.

This drew cheers from the audience.

Zhang He was not to be outdone.

Ambidextrous

Two shots hit.

Just when everyone thought Xiahou Yuan was about to win the championship.

"drive!"

A young, blond-haired soldier.

Cao Zhang did not follow the usual path.

He spurred his horse to its maximum speed, gripped the horse's belly with his legs, and stood up directly on the horse's back.

"Get down here!"

He didn't aim at Jinling's main body.

Instead, they set their sights on the red rope from which the golden bells were hung.

"Splash!"

Nine bells fell to the ground in response.

A good general is one who is not bound by rules.

Moreover, it was Cao Zhang.

"Good! Well done, Yellow Beard!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed.

He immediately took off the sword from his waist, which was the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

He threw it over.

"This sword is yours! Your lone steed has a worthy successor!"

"Okay, okay!"

The atmosphere had reached a climax.

The third event is a "single-riding contest".

To avoid injury, everyone took off their weapons.

They replaced it with a long pole covered with felt.

Or engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Rules: Whoever grabs the red brocade robe hanging in the field is the winner.

That red brocade battle robe is equivalent to the current "legendary skin with the limited edition number 001 across the entire server".

"I originally intended to keep this robe for myself."

"But I'm old and lonely now, and I can't pull off that kind of flamboyant style anymore."

"Whoever manages to seize this robe today, and wears it before me, will have it as their own!"

"No rules! No methods allowed! As long as no one gets killed, you can steal however you want!"

Cao Cao suddenly threw it forward.

"That's mine!"

The first to rush out were Zhang Liao and Zhang He, who were known for their speed.

The two men were fast on horseback and fast on foot.

"Brother Wenyuan, you flatter me!" Zhang He drew his bow and nocked an arrow (feinting).

Attempting to interfere.

Zhang Liao didn't even turn his head; he simply tilted his body to the side, level with the horse's back.

With a swift movement, his fingertips touched the edge of the red robe.
