The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

My idea of ​​developing myself in Hebei by building high walls and storing up food would also be ruined.

It is even hard to say whether an “anti-Changping alliance” will emerge in Hebei.

What's even more dangerous is that Liu Zhaoqing is just outside Jicheng at this time, and inside Jicheng is Liu Yu, a legitimate relative of the Han royal family.

How would Liu Yu, the Chief of the Imperial Clan, feel when he was given the title of "a sign of the Son of Heaven" as a mortal who was not a relative of the Han royal family?

Liu Zhaoqing could also choose to "wear a yellow robe" and ascend to the supreme position in response to this "sign of being the Son of Heaven".

But Liu Zhaoqing, who was well-versed in history, was fully aware of how dangerous it was to "proclaim himself emperor at the end of the Han Dynasty."

The last guy who did this ended up being nothing more than a handful of skeletons.

Not knowing whether this was luck or bad luck, Liu Zhaoqing looked around and immediately jumped on the horse.

"Wenyuan! Zilong! Quickly get the convoy to Changping with the supplies!"

Liu Zhaoqing was unable to think about the more far-reaching impacts on the spot. Now he had only one thought - to go home as soon as possible.

This strange sight of his must have been seen by the soldiers on the city wall outside Jicheng, as well as by the caravans and civilians entering and leaving Jicheng. Before long, rumors that he was favored by the fragments of destiny and had the "sign of being the Son of Heaven" would spread throughout Hebei and even the whole world.

Even if Liu Zhaoqing wanted to "refute the rumors", he didn't have time.

What he must do at this time is to quickly return to his own territory, then arm himself to deal with possible crises, and even prepare to face Liu Yu's attack.

Riding on horses, Liu Zhaoqing, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun drove the team to Changping as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the Hu captives, who were originally difficult to control and needed to be constantly on guard against escape or rebellion, were extremely cooperative at this time and started running on their own initiative without the need for the cavalry to urge them.

During this time, Liu Zhaoqing passed by the group of prisoners, who were chattering in incomprehensible words.

But Liu Zhaoqing had no intention to investigate further at this time, otherwise he would be surprised to find that the eyes of these Hu people were shining and their words were also praises for Liu Zhaoqing.

The Hu people living in the northern grasslands believed in the gods more than the Han people. Liu Zhaoqing defeated them but could not make them surrender, but the miracles they experienced made them feel that Liu Zhaoqing was the one chosen by the Holy Spirit.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were also surprised at the changes in these Hu captives, but since Liu Zhaoqing's order was to rush to Changping as soon as possible, they did not dare to stay.

Under Liu Zhaoqing's instructions, they controlled their horses and came to the back of the team, guarding against possible enemies chasing them.

Under the high-intensity marching condition, the distance that would have taken more than two hours of slow walking was completed in less than an hour.

Liu Zhaoqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the city wall of Changping appearing in the distance.

When Liu Zhaoqing led his team towards the city gate, there were also several people riding horses coming towards them.

When the people approached, Liu Zhaoqing discovered that they were Zhang Jiao, Guo Jia, Zhou Cang, Liu Pi's young daughter and others.

"Jiao'er?" Liu Zhaoqing was surprised how Zhang Jiao could predict that he would return to Changping.

Zhang Jiao, who was standing right beside him, also spoke up: "I noticed something has changed in Qingjun."

The method that can detect something from such a distance is naturally the induction between the Taiping Sutra.

Although the functions and effects of the Human Book and the Earth Book are different, within a certain range, the owners of the two can sense each other and even have the same mind despite different bodies.

Liu Zhaoqing was baptized by the fragments of destiny in Jicheng, and the fluctuations emitted by the human book were also sensed by Zhang Jiao in Changping hundreds of miles away.

"Sister, about that strange vision." The little girl next to her reminded Zhang Jiao at this time.

Zhang Jiao also came back to her senses and immediately asked, "Is the strange phenomenon in the sky more than an hour ago related to Qing Jun?"

Liu Zhaoqing found it difficult to answer this question. In his opinion, he was more like a person who was inexplicably implicated.

But at this time, Guo Jia, who looked a little weak due to the bumpy ride of the horse, immediately asked about the most important thing.

"My lord, are there any pursuers coming from behind?"

At the same time, Zhao Yun, riding a white horse and wearing white armor, also rushed over from the rear of the team and reported the good news that no one was following him.

Liu Zhaoqing and Guo Jia both looked relieved.

The most worrying thing did not happen, and Liu Yu did not seem to attack him immediately.

Then Guo Jia noticed the long team behind Liu Zhaoqing. After seeing more than a dozen carriages with wheels embedded several inches into the ground and a large number of war horses, she was stunned.

Not only that, there were even densely packed sturdy Hu people behind them.

"My lord, could this be..." Guo Jia was puzzled.

"Yes, it's the spoils I 'took' from Wuhuan." Liu Zhaoqing said, and then nodded to Guo Jia.

"I led the team deep into the Wuhuan Mountains and found a Wuhuan settlement of 50,000 people. We defeated them and killed 3,000 of them. The strategy of Fengxiao was a great success."

When Guo Jia asked about how much spoils there were, Liu Zhaoqing told her the number.

This number was so staggering that even Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, not to mention my daughter, Zhou Cang and others.

Liu Pi, who looked like a barbarian, opened his eyes wide and spoke in his hometown dialect: "Duo, Duo Shao?"

Afterwards, Guo Jia immediately realized that this was not the time to sigh, so he asked Zhou Cang and others to return to the city to call for soldiers to help transport the spoils into the city as soon as possible.

Originally, Guo Jia wanted Generals Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to pay more attention to the Hu captives, but he was surprised to find that these Hu captives... seemed a little too strange. They actually took the initiative to kowtow to Liu Zhaoqing and cooperated with entering the city.

Everyone has many doubts and questions in their minds, but what we need to do now is to bring these spoils into the city as quickly as possible, which will be considered a real victory.

It took more than an hour, and near midnight, the last prairie warhorse was finally driven into the city gate.

Liu Zhaoqing, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Jiao's daughter Guo Jia who were outside the city gate all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only Lady Bo can pacify the horses. It should be fine if we hand over those war horses to her and drive them to the open space in the northwest of the city. As for the weapons and treasures, they cannot be parked randomly. Sister Hong'er and Gong Du should take them and park them in front of the mansion first." Zhang Jiao said to Liu Zhaoqing.

"As for the 3,000 prisoners, I originally planned to let most of the soldiers in the city drive them into the northeast of the city, but now it seems... we can leave them to Zhou Cang, Liu Pi and a dozen soldiers to keep an eye on them." Guo Jia also nodded and said.

"Huh, now we have brought back real results. I can finally rest assured." Liu Zhaoqing sighed after listening.

However, after Liu Zhaoqing sighed, he turned around and looked into the distance, his expression gradually returning to seriousness.

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Jiao and others did not enter the city. They are still here because the current crisis has not been resolved.

When the spoils entered the city, Liu Zhaoqing quickly told Zhang Jiao and Guo Jia about the strange vision that had just occurred.

It was almost exactly what Guo Jia had guessed. The giant dragon was indeed a manifestation of destiny. However, she did not expect that Liu Zhaoqing would be favored by the strange phenomenon.

This is definitely a sign of the "Son of Heaven".

Although Liu Zhaoqing later said that this was a misunderstanding and was influenced by the scabbard given to him by Liu Yu.

The people present all nodded superficially, but in their hearts they all agreed that they did not completely believe Liu Zhaoqing's explanation.

Everyone present was Liu Zhaoqing's family or confidants. They believed in Liu Zhaoqing, but they also knew him better.

Even if this was really an accident as Liu Zhaoqing said, "accident" is also a kind of "luck".

Since the "sign of the Son of Heaven" appeared on Liu Zhaoqing but not on other people, it was a kind of luck.

This fully illustrates one thing: the man in front of me is: the one destined for me.

The little girl's mouth opened slightly in surprise, but Zhang Jiao was in high spirits. This sudden surprise made all her worries and anxieties about having to stay in Changping disappear. If her husband really had the signs of becoming an emperor, then any effort she made would be worth it.

Only Guo Jia was relatively calm. She also thought of what Liu Zhaoqing was worried about: Liu Zhaoqing was not a relative of the Han royal family but had the signs of being an emperor, and might be attacked by the princes to gain merit.

To put it in more common language in Liu Zhaoqing's mind: Liu Zhaoqing might be treated as an experience baby, and the kind that can be directly upgraded to the maximum level by killing.

The strategy proposed by Guo Jia was similar to that of Liu Zhaoqing, which was: to take Changping as the base and defend this place.

At the same time, the person she was most worried about was still Liu Yu, who was the closest to her. The Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty was the closest to her and had the most reason to attack those who were suspected of rebelling.

Therefore, under Guo Jia's suggestion, the strongest fighters in Changping City, and even Zhang Jiao, stayed here. The rest of the tired cavalry and strong soldiers, led by Deng Mao and others, hurried back to the city to recover and prepare for the battles that might happen later.

In the silent atmosphere outside the city, everyone had different thoughts. Only the weeds on the ground that had turned into fertile soil at the edge of the city were drifting in the cold wind under the moonlight.

"My lord, look over there, there is something!" Suddenly at this moment, Zhao Yun noticed a small black dot appearing in a very far direction.

Liu Zhaoqing, Zhang Jiao, and even Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun could not see clearly what the blurry dots in the distance were.

Guo Jia, who had the ability to see through illusions, raised his head slightly and stared into the distance for a long time. A hint of gold appeared in his pupils. He then frowned and said, "It seems to be a cavalryman."

"One?" Liu Zhaoqing was slightly surprised.

Guo Jia nodded: "There is indeed only one..."

Less than half a minute later, the cavalry arrived at the gate of Changping City.

Looking at his clothes, Liu Zhaoqing discovered that he was indeed a soldier under Liu Yu's command.

But why only one? If they were to attack, shouldn't Xianyu Fu and other generals lead at least a thousand troops to attack?

"Greetings, Marquis of Changping." After getting off the horse, the man bowed to Liu Zhaoqing and said respectfully.

"The strange phenomenon just now caused a large number of falcons to come to Lord Bo'an's residence. Lord Bo'an wanted to meet Lord Changping, but Lord Changping was no longer outside the city."

"So Lord Bo'an specially sent a fast horse here to bring a message to Marquis Changping."

Liu Zhaoqing paused for a moment, then asked, "What?"

"Lord Bo'an said: Zhaoqing has nothing to worry about. Those who saw it on the tower have been ordered to keep silent, and no one will know about this."

After the messenger finished speaking, Zhao Yun looked visibly relaxed, and Zhang Liao and Zhang Jiao also looked much more relaxed.

This also means that Liu Yu will not become an enemy.

Only Guo Jia, who was standing aside, had a puzzled look in his eyes: Why did Liu Yu want to help the lord...

Only Liu Zhaoqing fell into deep thought. Thinking of how Liu Yu had something to say but didn't say it in the pavilion before, he felt that he seemed to be overly worried.

No matter how other princes in Hebei viewed this "sign of the emperor", at least Liu Yu trusted him more than imagined.

The source of trust is most likely because Liu Zhaoqing traveled thousands of miles to the northern frontier to rescue Liu He.

"I was worrying too much." Liu Zhaoqing murmured softly to himself.

Guo Jia, who was standing by, also thought of this. However, unlike Liu Zhaoqing, she had another less polite idea after pondering it.

This "sign of the emperor" that is like a hot potato may be "transferred" to this Lord Bo An...

The soldier was about to turn around, but then he remembered something, turned around, and then knelt on one knee on the ground.

He raised his head and saluted, saying, "I just heard about the Marquis of Changping in the residence of Lord Bo'an. Such a great victory has crushed the arrogance of the Hu people and enhanced the prestige of our Han army. Your Excellency should be a role model for our generation. Please accept my greetings."

After saying this, the soldier bowed to Liu Zhaoqing, and before Liu Zhaoqing could react, he immediately stood up.

"I have delivered Lord Bo'an's message. I must return quickly."

"I have just been appointed as the guard of Master Liu He. Before I left, Master Liu He specifically asked me to bring a message: If Marquis Changping needs anything, please let me know at any time and I will definitely help you with all my strength."

The soldier who delivered the message bowed to Liu Zhaoqing again, then mounted his horse, pulled the reins, turned the horse and galloped towards Jicheng.

After the man left, Zhang Liao said slowly, "It turned out to be the guard of Master Liu He, who was newly appointed by Lord Bo'an. I was wondering how a messenger could be so good at horse riding..."

"That's not the point." Zhao Yun looked at Liu Zhaoqing: "Lord Bo'an sent this man here to bring a message, which proves that Lord Bo'an does not regard you as a 'rebel'."

"Qingjun was never a 'traitor'." Zhang Jiao said calmly at this time, looking at Liu Zhaoqing calmly.

"He saved the people of Pingyuan, killed the bandits in Luoyang, and received the authority granted by the former emperor to defeat the Hu in the northern frontier."

"May I ask which 'rebel' can do these four things?"

Of course, everyone nodded slightly at Zhang Jiao's steady and powerful words.

The things Liu Zhaoqing did were more or less one of the reasons why they gathered here.

Liu Zhaoqing himself knew clearly whether he was a traitor or not. He looked up at the sky and then looked around.

In just less than two days, the situation outside Changping City was drastically different.

Looking at the land around him that was changed by the debris of destiny, he exhaled lightly: "The dead trees have come back to life in spring, the barren soil has become fertile, I have obtained ten thousand cattle and sheep, and three thousand treasures, I am already rich, but..."

"A man should be able to help others, not just himself."

"Be it a traitor or a loyal person."

"The people live in peace, agriculture and commerce prosper, and the world is at peace. This is what I want to do."

"I wish I had a fur coat that would cover the whole world. If everyone could be as warm as me, there would be no cold person in the world."

After saying this, Liu Zhaoqing did not make any further explanations and turned around and walked into the city.

He didn't need to explain much. As Zhang Jiao said, his actions had already revealed everything.

People like Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun who trust him would not develop hostility towards him because of the strange vision.

If someone does not trust or understand oneself, even if others want to attack him as a "traitor", they will not look at what he has done, but only see the benefits they can gain from the attack.

What your real enemy fears is not your literary talent and reputation, but the soldiers and swords in your hands.
