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

If she could understand the meaning of the word "pretend", then she would be able to perfectly interpret Liu Zhaoqing's current state.

But what Liu Zhaoqing said was absolutely correct, and Xun Yu also thought that the level of this manifesto was not very high.

Moreover, although Liu Zhaoqing was a world-famous poet, fighting was actually not his forte, so he was certainly qualified to judge this manifesto.

The exclamation at the end was just right, and it didn't make people feel awkward or arrogant when it came out of his mouth.

So, Liu Zhaoqing really did "pretend" well.

Although Liu Zhaoqing's disappointment was somewhat feigned, it was also somewhat genuine.

He originally thought that he could enjoy the same treatment as Cao Cao, because his manifesto was so well written that it would be passed down for thousands of years.

But it is obvious that although there are many outstanding people in Hebei, there is no one in the six counties who can compare to Chen Lin.

In other words, at least there is no talent of Chen Lin's level willing to work for them.

If this manifesto was written by Tian Feng, Ju Shou, or even Shen Pei, the quality would probably be raised one or two levels.

However, it was precisely because of this that Liu Zhaoqing was able to get a glimpse of the situation just from this inferior manifesto full of direct slander and insults, and knew that the strength of these six counties was not as great as any of his previous enemies.

"It seems to be just as Fengxiao said. I just need to wait for good news." Liu Zhaoqing said.

Xun Yu also smiled and said, "As the lord, Zhao Qing is too brave. It is also a kind of encouragement and motivation for his subordinates. Even Feng Xiao, after witnessing and participating in two consecutive wars, should have had a desire to have a grand plan in his heart."

"So, as the lord, I do seem to have stolen a lot of their limelight." Liu Zhaoqing said, touching his chin.

Xun Yu still had a smile on his face. Liu Zhaoqing was of course joking, but she also acknowledged Guo Jia's confidence.

"The six counties were under little jurisdiction as early as Han Fu's time, and gradually they gained their own troops. Together they have about 40,000 soldiers and horses. In terms of the situation, the six counties have formed a siege on our Wei County."

"However, it is precisely because the six counties have money and food and live too comfortably that the governors of the six counties do not care about the governor and rarely send real soldiers to support Han Fu, because they do not need to be supported by Wei County."

"It is precisely because of this that they lack actual combat experience, and their combat power is probably only at the level of the Yanzhou Vanguard Army during the Anti-Dong Coalition period."

"The alliance of these six counties is even looser than that of the anti-Dong coalition. We have Feng Xiaowen and Ju Su in civil affairs and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang He in military affairs. It will be a piece of cake to conquer these six counties." Xun Yu said in a normal tone but made the bold statement of managing an entire state.

You know, Xun Yu is usually the most cautious one, or the one who thinks the most. Even she said so, which only proves that the advantage on their side in this battle to quell the rebellion is indeed too great.

This advantage does not lie in military strength, but in "talent" and "public support".

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, "Then I'll continue drinking tea here. To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with this."

Xun Yu nodded: "Although six counties rebelled, the governors of Chaoge and Yangping counties south of Wei County took the initiative to enter Ye today and returned their official seals."

"The Changshan Kingdom in the north has not expressed its position, and the Zhen family in Zhongshan is also friendly to you. With their mediation, they will surely remain neutral."

"As for the Bohai and Zhangwu counties in the east, because of your reputation and outstanding military achievements, everyone in Hebei knows the name of the Yellow Turbans, so they will definitely wait and see for a while."

"So in fact, the enemies we have to face are only six counties. The fact that our order did not arouse public anger shows that the people of Jizhou have suffered from Han Fu and those governors who have deprived the people of their wealth for a long time."

After saying this, Xun Yu no longer needed to explain the reasons for victory or defeat to Liu Zhaoqing, and the latter would certainly understand the power of the people's will.

Then she thought about it and there was one thing she didn't ask Liu Zhaoqing.

"I heard Wenhe say that it seemed...Mrs. Zhang's sister also went to the six counties." Xun Yu asked.

"Sister?" Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled: "Are you talking about my daughter?"

"It should be." Xun Yu nodded.

"She also compiled the information today and sent it back to Yecheng."

Liu Zhaoqing had not expected this, but his daughter must have obtained Zhang Jiao's consent to do this. And if he thought about it carefully, his daughter's natural gifts and abilities were indeed suitable for doing these things.

"It's okay. She and I have traveled to many places, so nothing will go wrong. This time is a good opportunity for her to gain some experience. Maybe we can set up a secret department in the future to specialize in investigating the enemy's situation." Liu Zhaoqing said.

"By the way, is there any new news from Luoyang?" Liu Zhaoqing asked Xun Yu.

"I heard that after Yuan Shao chased to Chang'an and found no trace of the emperor, he returned to Luoyang?"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "After we left, Luoyang fell into the plunder and looting of the princes. Fortunately, with the help of Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and others, many people in the city were evacuated safely, and some of them came to Hebei in recent days."

"Except for Cao Cao who had returned to his hometown long ago and did not participate in the looting, Yuan Shao stayed in Luoyang with Sun Jian after his fruitless pursuit."

"With Sun Jian?" Liu Zhaoqing was slightly surprised. "Is the news reliable?"

"Gongda sent me a message this morning saying that Cao Cao has been keeping an eye on the situation in Sili," Xun Yu said.

Xun You was Cao Cao's strategist. He and Xun Yu passed this message on to each other, which must have been Cao Cao's intention. His purpose was to let Liu Zhaoqing take control of the situation.

So this news is very reliable. Sun Jian and Yuan Shao have really joined forces temporarily.

Yuan Shao wouldn't change so quickly, would he forget his principles for the sake of a little profit?

But she doesn't seem to be so cautious about her life as to do something big now, otherwise she shouldn't stay in Luoyang.

"Perhaps it's because the Yuan family is still in Luoyang. As a descendant of a famous family, Yuan Shao has a sense of pride in his heart." Xun Yu guessed.

"Although Luoyang was destroyed, the Yuan family may have some special feelings for it, or they may simply want to sit back and watch the situation in Chang'an."

Xun Yu did not talk much about Sun Jian, because in her opinion, Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, was a little late. Although he was said to be brave in battle and extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty, the situation in Sili was too complicated now. It would be difficult for a man like him who was only brave to change anything. It was indeed the right choice to cooperate with Yuan Shao temporarily.

Maybe it was the suggestion of Lu Zhi or Huangfu Song.

Liu Zhaoqing was not very familiar with Sun Jian. Although as a former leader of the alliance, Liu Zhaoqing had received a letter from Sun Jian asking him to join the anti-Dong movement, it was a bit outrageous that he had not met him even after the battle was over.

As for Sun Jian's two daughters, he had met them by chance, but it was just a chance meeting, and Liu Zhaoqing didn't know more about them.

Liu Zhaoqing only had friendship with Yuan Shao. Since she was still alive and well, Liu Zhaoqing had no right to tell him what to do, and others who were too arrogant might not listen to her.

"How is Chang'an now?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"It's very chaotic." Xun Yu said.

"The remnants of Dong Zhuo occupied Chang'an, and the counties of Xiliang were in chaos due to Dong Zhuo's defeat. Ma Teng was pinned down in Xiliang. He did not gain anything from plundering the princes of Luoyang, so they all headed for Chang'an. Liu Yan was eyeing Chang'an covetously in the southwest."

Xun Yu was silent for a moment and then said, "Especially Liu Yan. If he were to occupy Chang'an, I think he would..."

"Is another emperor going to appear?" Liu Zhaoqing said softly.

Many people knew about Liu Yan's desire for the throne, including Liu Zhaoqing.

After all, he was a member of the royal family who gave up Hebei and became the governor of Yizhou just because a fortune teller said "Yizhou has the aura of an emperor", and he also proposed "abolishing the historian and establishing the governor".

Now can be said to be the time when he is closest to his dream. Liu Zhaoqing estimated that Liu Yan's eyes would light up when he saw Chang'an.

"Now that the Han Dynasty has lost its mandate of heaven, the situation in the world will probably become even more chaotic in the future," said Liu Zhaoqing.

Then Liu Zhaoqing asked about the whereabouts of several people he cared about, such as Sima Yi, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu.

Xun Yu told him that Xun You did not mention it in the letter, so Liu Zhaoqing had to give up.

Just at this time, a soldier came to tell Xun Yu that Ju Su had something to ask her.

Because Yangping and Chaoge counties reformed their civil and military officials in accordance with the governor's order, Liu Zhaoqing had to take over quickly, evaluate the original officials and discover capable people. This process had to be as fast as possible in order to stabilize the two counties.

The command and strategy of suppressing the rebellion were handed over to Guo Jia, while the support and intelligence gathering were handed over to Jia Xu, and Ju Su could only take care of internal affairs.

In Yecheng, Zhang Jiaobaoer came to help share his worries.

It can be said that he has never felt so comfortable before, and Liu Zhaoqing could not help laughing out loud.

Just at this moment, a slight sound of footsteps was heard. Liu Zhaoqing turned his head and saw a red shadow.

"Huh? Hong'er, when did you come?" Liu Zhaoqing asked in surprise.

The person who came was Lu Hong, who was dressed in red.

She came to Liu Zhaoqing and bowed to him.

"I came here last night, but... because I was worried that I would disturb Qingjun, I did not take the initiative to come and greet him. I hope Qingjun will not blame me..."

Seeing Lu Hong's apologetic and cautious expression, Liu Zhaoqing also smiled.

"How could that be? I'm so happy to see Hong'er."

Then Liu Zhaoqing stood up and walked around Lu Hong.

This made Lv Hong a little confused: "Qing Jun..."

"Well... it seems that he is not injured at all." Liu Zhaoqing nodded.

"Luckily I didn't meet Lu Bu."

However, what Liu Zhaoqing didn't expect was that after Lv Hong was silent for a moment, she took the initiative to say: "Actually... I have seen Xian'er. A few days ago, she went to Changping alone and broke into my room."

"Ah?" Liu Zhaoqing was shocked: "But you..."

"Yeah, I'm fine." Lv Hong nodded, and then her expression revealed a puzzled look, "She... didn't embarrass me, and she didn't say the same thing as before."

"He just told me to take care of myself, left me some treasures and left."

"Very... unlike her."

After listening to this, Liu Zhaoqing frowned, thought for a moment, and sighed softly.

"It seems that this rebellious sister-con little Fengxian has finally grown up a little."

Lu Bu did not act like he did before and wanted to take Lu Hong away the moment they met. This proved that she had indeed listened to what Liu Zhaoqing had said before.

Even if you don't agree with everything, at least you've listened to some of it.

If you let your emotions and obsessions drive you, no matter how powerful you are, you will become a tool of others.

She seemed to understand that if she wanted to truly achieve her dream of living a stable life with her sister, she had to show the results to her sister.

Let Lu Hong, Liu Zhaoqing, and everyone see that she has the ability to become a powerful and independent lord.

She was able to gain momentum, grow stronger and defeat everyone, defeat Liu Zhaoqing head-on, and make Liu Zhaoqing and everyone recognize her strength.

Only in this way can Lu Hong and Liu Zhaoqing truly believe that she can fulfill her verbal promise.

Moreover, if Lu Bu could really control his emotions, become more mature, and even develop into a local lord, Liu Zhaoqing would not stop Lu Hong from meeting him.

Although Lu Hong herself might not take the initiative to meet her, at least Liu Zhaoqing would not do anything to prevent the sisters from meeting each other.

Instead of being like now, when hearing that Lu Bu was going to see Lu Hong was like a thief entering one's backyard.

There was no way. Lu Bu's various behaviors made Liu Zhaoqing difficult to trust him. Even now, his opinion of him had only changed slightly.

"Sir, have you begun to understand what your father and I say..." Lu Hong said softly, with a hint of relief in her eyes.

"Yes, this is a good thing. If she can really understand it, or as long as she tries to understand the meaning of 'responsibility', she is already on the right track." Liu Zhaoqing sighed.

"But it depends on her specific actions."

It is not uncommon to see people who are giants in words but dwarfs in actions.

If Lu Bu was just acting on a whim, became sensible for a while, and then his nature was hard to change, then all of Liu Zhaoqing's thoughts and words about Lu Bu would be invalid.

Lu Hong also nodded in agreement, but the difference was that she knew Lu Bu, and she knew that Lu Bu had made up his mind this time.

"By the way, since Lu Bu met Hong'er in private, did she tell you where she was going?" Liu Zhaoqing asked again.

In response, Lu Hong shook her head and said she didn't know.

This made Liu Zhaoqing even more confused. Lu Bu went to Youzhou to see his sister and then left. He did not steal or rob, and he did not even disturb the cat in the mansion. What kind of virtuous child is he?

"Could it be that he went back to Bingzhou..." He murmured softly.

Then Liu Zhaoqing shook his head again and said, forget it, let’s not dwell on it anymore.

Anyway, Lu Bu's actions clearly showed that she had no intention of becoming his enemy in the short term.

Then there is no need to worry about where she goes. With her abilities, Liu Zhaoqing knows that it will not be difficult for her to be independent.

As long as it doesn't threaten Hebei and his own plans, it doesn't matter where Lu Bu goes.

The world was in chaos, and she was just one of the rising princes.

Liu Zhaoqing then chatted with Lu Hong again and learned some recent events in Changping City.

Most of them were good news, such as how many acres of land had been reclaimed in Changping City and how many refugees had moved into Changping.

There were also some things that Liu Zhaoqing didn't expect.

For example, Lu Hong said that some days ago, people in Changping City often saw auspicious beasts.

After thinking for a long time, he could only "credit" it to the fact that the Han Dynasty's destiny belonged to heaven and earth. The spirit beasts were also alarmed to varying degrees, and ran to Changping City to see if there was what they needed in the place where a ray of destiny collapsed.

Then Lv Hong expressed some concerns about the current situation Liu Zhaoqing was facing, but with Liu Zhaoqing's smiling comfort and explanation, Lv Hong gradually realized that this seemingly urgent rebellion of the six counties was actually under control.

Later, Liu Zhaoqing took the initiative to tell Lu Hong that Wang Yun was also in Yecheng, which surprised Lu Hong.
