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

"But... Yunchang's reason, isn't it the same as Third Sister's?"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After thinking about it, it seemed to be true. Wasn't it because of Liu Zhaoqing's deeds in Luoyang that she was more optimistic about her?

This is a bit embarrassing.

It even made it difficult for her to stroke her hair.

Fortunately, Liu Bei was not the kind of person who liked to expose other people's shortcomings. He just wanted to tease his second sister because she was serious.

"What do you want to see me about, Yunchang?"

Liu Bei asked as he stood up.

Seeing Liu Bei walk to the table and was about to pick up the chopsticks without heating up the food, Guan Yu hurriedly stopped him and reminded her that there was still ink in his hands.

After Liu Bei wiped his hands clean, Guan Yu replied: "It's nothing serious, Jian Yong just asked me to come and see my elder sister."

"Xianhe, did he come here to ask Yunchang to persuade me to eat?" Liu Bei asked while picking up the cold dish.

She was indeed a little hungry. Although it was cold rice and cold dishes, the taste was just not as good as when they were hot. With Liu Bei's physical condition, he would not get an upset stomach.

"Yes." Guan Yu nodded. Since her elder sister was already eating, she had completed her mission.

"But Xianhe is also very busy. Yunchang, don't forget to remind him if he forgets like I did."

Seeing that Liu Bei still cared about his subordinates at this time, Guan Yu was helpless.

"Yun Chang remembers what his elder sister said."

"However, after more than a month of recovery, Pingyuan has emerged from the shadow of the Yellow River Rebellion. I think there is no need for my elder sister to work so hard. Some tasks can be delegated to subordinates," said Guan Yu.

"I did manage to get out, but... I'm worried I won't do it well." Liu Bei said after a pause.

"How could that be?" Guan Yu didn't quite understand.

Putting down his chopsticks, Liu Bei sighed: "Yun Chang should know that we only contributed a small part to Pingyuan's success."

Guan Yu was silent, then nodded slightly: "Well... If it weren't for Zhao Qing, the plain would have become a ruin."

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded. "If it weren't for him, even if we could keep the city, the people affected by the disaster would leave the plain to seek other ways to make a living. Without the population loss, it would be difficult for the plain to develop again."

"And it's not just Zhao Qing. Yun Chang also knows that when Zhao Qing went to Luoyang, his wife... Madam Zhang has been helping the refugees and disaster victims in Pingyuan, and even went to various places in Hebei."

"I am also impressed by such great righteousness and virtue." Liu Bei sighed sincerely.

"Not to mention... even Yunchang and Yide are obsessed with the great things Zhaoqing did in Luoyang, so how can I not be affected?"

Liu Bei looked calm as he slowly explained the reason why he had not dared to slack off for the past month: "No matter how well I do, compared to the 'bright moon', I am just a firefly. So I must work hard to shine, so that I will feel that I am not slacking off and failing to live up to the efforts of Lord Bo'an and Zhao Qing."

Guan Yu pondered for a moment, still feeling that she was not in the right state: "Eldest sister, what you said does make sense, but...if Zhao Qing knew that elder sister was working so hard regardless of her health, what do you think he would say?"

Liu Bei fell silent after hearing this.

Guan Yu also advised at the right time: "So elder sister should listen to my advice. The news from Luoyang is not good. There was a sudden change in Hebei the other day. I can feel that a storm is coming. Elder sister, please don't collapse at this time."

This reason was quite effective. After listening to it, Liu Bei thought about it for a while and nodded, indicating that he would pay attention to it in the future.

Seeing this, Guan Yu felt a little relieved. If Liu Bei was like the previous emperor of the Han Dynasty, who died before he could complete his career and was only a wise ruler for three days, she would never be able to accept it.

After finishing his meal, Liu Bei wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked Guan Yu: "Has the strange vision in Hebei that Yunchang mentioned just now come to fruition?"

Guan Yu shook his head: "I still don't know exactly what the reason is."

"But that dragon that night... could be seen throughout Hebei. There seems to be a rumor that... Lord Bo An knows the reason. Other governors and prefects have also gone to Jicheng to inquire about it in the past two days, but they have not received a clear answer."

Liu Bei nodded slightly: "Since Lord Bo An didn't say anything, then he must have his reasons. However, this matter... should not be a good thing. We were also outside when the dragon collapsed. The feeling in my chest at that time... was very bad."

"Alas, I don't know if Zhao Qing in Changping will be affected."

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Yes, but after the dragon collapsed, the crops grew strong and the land became fertile. This seems to be a good omen... It's really strange."

"As for Zhao Qing, it seems like there has been no news for a long time, but he is not too far from us. If elder sister is worried, why don't you go and see him?"

"Ah?" Liu Bei suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Forget it. There are still many unfinished matters in Pingyuan."

Looking at his eldest sister, Guan Yu suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had listened to his third brother and acted like a bad guy for once, perhaps his eldest sister would have been radiant and energetic every day.

There is no need to cover up my sighs with busy work in the next half month.

But Guan Yu knew that he couldn't say such words directly because his elder sister didn't have enough face.

"But I heard from Guo Rang before that his family in Youzhou wrote to him, saying that something big had happened in Youzhou as well," said Guan Yu.

"Big event in Youzhou? What big event?" Liu Bei asked hurriedly.

"Guorang didn't explain it clearly. It seems that our Han army defeated the Hu people and seized a lot of spoils. Even many people thought it was a foreign invasion when they saw the returning army." Guan Yu said.

"But... defeat the Hu people? Given Lord Bo'an's character, he wouldn't do that, right?" Liu Bei wondered.

"Yeah, so I'm not sure either. Moreover, even Guo Rang thought that his father might have drunk too much and made a mistake, because in the letter, his father also said that the Han army that defeated the 50,000 Wuhuan was only... 30 people?"

"..."

This was undoubtedly the nonsense that Tian Yu's father was talking about when he was drunk, and it was impossible for this to happen.

At this moment, suddenly a cry of an eagle was heard from outside.

"A falcon? It sounds like it's coming from the north?" Guan Yu was puzzled when he heard the sound.

"There is a letter from a falcon at this time. Could it be a letter from Lord Boan?"

Liu Bei also frowned slightly.

Not long after, a soldier came in to report: "Prime Minister, there is a letter from Youzhou."

"Are you from Jicheng?" Guan Yu asked.

The soldier held the rolled-up letter above his head and said, "According to the mark tied to the other foot of the letter falcon, this letter should be from Changping."

From Changping?

Liu Bei stood up suddenly.

Chapter 194: The New God of War of the Han Dynasty 5.3K

"From Changping?"

Guan Yu was also stunned. Isn’t this the place that his elder sister, although she didn’t say it out loud, must have been thinking about it?

There was no need for her to say anything afterwards, as Liu Bei immediately took the letter presented by the soldiers.

After opening it, he read softly, "Sister Xuande, it has been more than a month since we last parted. I miss you so much after not seeing you for so long..."

After reading this passage, Liu Bei suddenly stopped talking.

Guan Yu, who knew his elder sister very well, immediately smiled when he saw this.

"It suddenly occurred to me that Yide might be drinking secretly again. I, your elder sister, will go and help you talk her into a lesson." Guan Yu stroked his hair and said seriously.

After saying this, she signaled the soldiers to leave the room with her.

Liu Bei was about to say something when Guan Yu had already walked out the door. This made her feel helpless and she shook her head.

My second sister probably misunderstood something. She was just stunned when she saw the first paragraph of the letter written by Zhao Qing. She was not shy or had any other similar emotions.

Maybe it's because they have lived in peace and comfort for too long, even someone like my second sister would start to think about all sorts of things.

Putting aside all the complicated thoughts, Liu Bei slowly exhaled, adjusted his best attitude, and continued reading.

In the letter, Zhao Qing's first sentence after the greetings was: A few days ago, I just defeated the Wuhuan, and Lord Bo'an intends to hold a grand banquet to entertain the governors, governors, and other famous heroes of Hebei.

This is also the reason why she suddenly stopped reading halfway through.

"Greatly defeated Wuhuan?"

Liu Bei was still surprised.

As a person born in Zhuo County, Youzhou, she certainly knew what the Wuhuan Hu people were like.

When Liu Bei was a child, he could still hear various good news from the northern border. When he was a little older and Liu Yu took office, the country was peaceful and there were even Hu tribes coming to Zhuo County to trade. But when he became an adult, these things never happened again.

The Hu people in the north were too powerful, and coupled with inexplicable natural and animal disasters, Lord Bo'an had to station most of his troops at the Great Wall and the border to protect the people of Youzhou, but he also had no energy to go north.

But what did she hear now? A great defeat of Wuhuan? And it was Zhao Qing who did it?

Naturally, Liu Bei thought of what his second sister had just said.

"Could it be that the thirty cavalrymen who defeated the Wuhuan were... Zhao Qing?"

After realizing this possibility, Liu Bei actually felt that... this drunken story, which he originally thought must be nonsense, might very well be a real fact.

If the protagonist was replaced by someone else, she would not feel this way, but if it was Zhao Qing... it seemed that this outrageous result was not so outrageous?

After all, the latter has done more than one or two amazing things, so it seems normal for one more to happen.

As Liu Bei continued to read on, he became more certain of his thoughts.

"I just returned from the northern frontier not long ago. Although my wounds have healed, before writing this letter, I was outside the city with the people digging moats and strengthening the city walls. My handwriting is a little sloppy compared to usual. I hope Sister Xuande will not misunderstand that I do not value etiquette."

Liu Bei found a chair, sat on it, and carefully read the long-lost letter.

In addition to briefly explaining Liu Zhaoqing's own recent situation, the largest part of the letter is about a major event that happened recently.

"Heaven's will... fragments, Hu people, internal response." After spending a full moment to read it carefully, Liu Bei fell into deep thought.

The truth that she had never known before was all revealed in this letter, and she even learned the secrets behind the truth. This accident was a major event concerning the survival of the Han people in Youzhou and even Hebei.

Although Liu Zhaoqing did not take the initiative to tell Liu Bei what to do, Liu Bei knew what he should do.

After putting away the letter, Liu Bei stood up and pondered for a moment at the window before making a decision.

She said to Guan Yu, who was still standing outside the door with his eyes closed, as if he was resting, but was actually listening to the noise inside:

"Yunchang, go and ask Yide to get ready and follow me to Youzhou."

-

In Changping City.

After watching Xin Falcon leave, Liu Zhaoqing stood there thinking with a worried look on his face.

It’s not that I was worried about anything else, it’s just that I haven’t contacted Sister Xuande for a long time, and the first thing I did when I contacted her again was to ask her for help.

Isn't this just like in the previous life, when a friend or relative you haven't seen or contacted for a long time suddenly adds his contact information, asks about your well-being at first, and then finally reveals his true intentions and asks you to borrow money...

Seeing Liu Zhaoqing's expression, Guo Jia, who was standing by, also showed a trace of worry: "I have heard of that Prime Minister of Pingyuan... However, Pingyuan is only a county, and it just experienced the Yellow River Rebellion, so it should not be able to gather too many soldiers."

Of course, Guo Jia was not as thoughtful as Liu Zhaoqing. She still considered the problem completely based on the actual situation.

"We really can't gather too many soldiers." Liu Zhaoqing came back to his senses and nodded.

"Pingyuan County is not very big to begin with, and Sister Xuande has only been the Prime Minister for a short time. In addition, she has been dealing with the affairs of the counties affected by the Yellow River Rebellion for the past month, and she is unable to recruit soldiers."

"but……"

Liu Zhaoqing suddenly laughed when he said this: "Fengxiao should not be underestimated just because they are small in power. Judging from my great victory, there is no need to explain how important Tianzi Renjie is."

"And Sister Xuande and her two sworn sisters are three outstanding people."

"Three outstanding people?" Guo Jia was slightly surprised.

You should know that although Guo Jia himself was not from a prominent family, he was also an outstanding person from "Yingchuan", and he associated with people as talented as Xun Yu.

There are many famous people in Yingchuan, but I have never seen a situation where three sworn brothers or sisters all have the character "Tian" in their names.

"But, this time, our lord has to face not only the princes, but also the northern barbarians. This is equivalent to being attacked from both sides and facing double danger. If those three outstanding people don't even have soldiers and horses... maybe they won't be able to exert their true strength?" Guo Jia was still a little worried.

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Fengxiao, there are also differences between the great men and the great men. Since Jiao'er and I both think that Sister Xuande is our 'foreign aid', even if Fengxiao doesn't believe me, he should believe in our great and virtuous teacher, right?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia hurriedly bowed and said, "My lord, you misunderstood. Feng Xiao just felt that if there were only three of them, even if she was extremely powerful, she would not be able to serve as a 'deterrent'."

"The difficulty we are facing now is that compared to the Xianbei Hu people and the princes of Hebei, our overall scale is too different from them."

"The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting. However, if there is no 'foreign aid', then this 'best strategy' may have to be abandoned."

Simply put, Guo Jia's expectation for "foreign aid" is that the other party can bring real troops to come and cheer, so as to defeat the enemy without fighting.

Having troops to support you will not only increase your chances of winning, but will also deter some villains from making any moves, thus reducing unnecessary losses.

Liu Zhaoqing had never thought about this, but after thinking for a moment, he was still optimistic and nodded to comfort her:

"What Feng Xiao said is correct, but deterrence does not necessarily require a large army to accomplish."

Liu Zhaoqing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, when you see them, Fengxiao's eyes that can see through illusions will definitely let you down. The three sisters will not let you down."

Since Liu Zhaoqing insisted on doing so, Guo Jia, as his subject, would certainly not question it anymore.
