Chapter 237: The Troubles of the Three Taoyuan Brothers
Liu Bei's mansion, because Cao Hong was on duty, could not see Xuande, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and was secretly opposed by the rest of Cao's camp.
He loved to sit in the back garden every day, watching the carp swimming freely in the pond and the birds flying freely in the sky, recalling the days in Xuzhou when he covered the sky with one hand.
Just when Liu Bei remembered the dance of the Diao Chan that day, his face turned red.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and Mrs. Gan's sad crying voice came from the inner house behind her.
"Mistress, you are too bullying! This perfume was bought by the maid in my house. Why does the eldest lady insist on taking it?"
"There are still some for sale in Xuchangcheng, can't Madam go buy them yourself?"
"Shut up, why do you have the face to talk in front of me!"
"The Mi family is an aristocratic family from the East China Sea. You are just a shameless and charming maid. If you are willing to live in this house, it's great!"
"Xiaolang's hooves have hollowed out Xuande's body, and he didn't even enter my room. What a three-hero, he can't become a hero at all!"
Mrs. Mi pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, which made Liu Bei, who was frowning and preparing to make peace, blush.
Although Xuande is still young and under too much pressure, it has indeed affected the normal affairs of the inner house.
Big Er glanced at him and saw that all the maids in the tent were covering their mouths and laughing. They couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts, and they didn't even bother to persuade him to make peace.
Liu Bei snorted coldly and strode towards the front yard, hoping to stay away from the shrew Mrs. Mi. Under the doorway, he almost bumped into a middle-aged man.
"Mi Zhu, what's going on? I'm going to Duke Zhong and Duke Sima's house. Can you hear them letting go?"
It turned out that the person who bumped into Liu Bei was Jian Yong. Big Er felt that he would get bad if he stayed alone, so he asked Jian Yong to find a way to join those high-ranking families.
Jian Yong looked at Xuande's expectant face, lowered his head, and let out a long sigh.
"My lord, the Zhong Yao family has entered. They just say that it is too difficult to let go outside now. Yanzhou is full of people from the same lineage as Fang Da, so there is no room for maneuver."
"Although there are a lot of vacancies in Yuzhou, there are people who have occupied them. Alas, in fact, so many aristocratic families have flocked here. Naturally, the good seats are not shared by the two of us!"
"I didn't even go into Sima's house. That boy Sima Yi learned from Fang Guang at home and built a distillation furnace. He has no time to pay attention to us!"
"Oh, the world is so hot. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have come here from Luoyang!"
Two people filled with darkness looked at each other and sighed, both seeing the sadness in the other's heart.
It took a long time for Prince Jing of Zhongshan to recover from this huge blow.
"By the way, where are the second and third brothers? Why can't I see these two people during the day for several days?"
"My lord, General Guan has nothing to do. He likes to wander on the streets. Today is the time to buy a bag to protect his beard. My lord also knows that Yun Chang cherishes his beard the most."
"Yide, of course we are in the restaurant. Ever since he tasted soju, the third general's favorite thing to do is to scold Fang Datong and drink wine until dark every day. Where can he come back?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so idle and decadent, and their heroic spirit was completely gone, which made Liu Bei wonder for a while.
Big Er raised his head, looked up at the sky, and roared in a low voice.
"General Gu Tian conferred a great responsibility on this person? No, is he a person?"
Carrying the Mencius article, Da Er's mind suddenly became confused. Jian Yong looked at his master feeling sorry for himself, his eyes filled with tears, and he gritted his teeth and said the words he had thought about for a long time.
"Lord, it doesn't matter who this person is. The most important thing is that we create a new atmosphere here!"
"Now it seems that the only people we can rely on in Xuchang are Fang Guang and Fang Datong. With Cao Cao, his reputation is growing day by day, loved by all the people, and respected by the soldiers."
"Those who come and go without mediocrity, talk and laugh like family members, didn't you see, my lord? A few days ago, even Mr. Xun Ling was chatting and laughing with Fang Guang!"
"This son is no longer the former yellow turban captain who served under the lord in the plains. He is a white man in the countryside. He is the person Cao Mengde trusts the most!"
"As long as he is willing to speak, it shouldn't be difficult for my lord to capture a county and cultivate his wings!"
Jian Yong gritted his teeth and said something. After finishing speaking, his own cheeks twitched in anger.
As if he was struck by lightning, Liu Bei took a few steps back. The expression on his face was even uglier than crying.
It's just that big ears are big ears after all. He can do the matter of sticking a hot face to a cold buttocks by visiting the thatched cottage three times in the world. The foundation is there, and it is only a few years ahead of schedule.
Longzhong became Xuchang, and Zhuge Liang became Fang Guang.
Big Er put his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky. It took a long time before he spat out a few words through his teeth.
"Find me your second brother and third brother quickly, and prepare a generous gift. I'm going to Fang Mansion to visit my old friend!"
In Fang Guang's mansion, Fang Guang was smiling, listening to the white-robed general in front of him talking about military training outside the city.
Xia Houen, the most powerful general in Cao's camp, Xia Houdun, who was in charge of food and fodder, and Xia Houyuan, who was brave and loved to be the vanguard, were all smiling like Fang Guang and listened to Zhao Yun's Changshan accent.
"Datong, this choice of forward with a high saddle and two feet on the horse is really unstoppable!"
"Yesterday I performed martial arts with Miaocai's elite soldiers. Five hundred cavalry went back and forth among Miaocai's army several times. They were unstoppable. Even if the soldiers on horseback were injured by spears and spears, as long as the horses galloped and the vests were still on, they could still hurt the enemy!"
"I heard from Liu Ziyang, who is in charge of the workshop, that when my lord's blast furnace is built and the fine iron is forged, the vest will become stronger and thicker. By then, who else in the world will be able to block the power of the vanguard?"
Zhao Yun danced with joy as he spoke, and Xia Houyuan lost face and spoke out to refute Zilong.
"Datong, that's a martial arts performance. Zilong Buqu can be so heroic. We really have to fight in front of the battle. My subordinate Buqu is good at bows and arrows. Thousands of arrows are fired at once. Where can the horses come up?"
Fang Guang saw that Xia Houyuan was not convinced, shook his head, and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Miaocai, don't be dissatisfied. The full-armored striker is strong enough to bear the impact of your bow and arrow. If it's Qu Yi's crossbow machine, Zilong must be careful. Miaocai's arrows are good for hunting, but not for fighting."
"
Fang Guang didn't finish his words, saving face for Xia Houyuan.
Xiahou Miaocai's eyes lit up. As a representative of arrow experts in later Three Kingdoms games, Xiahou Yuan was waiting for Fang Guang's words.
Cao Cao's family members who brought Fang Guang back from Mount Tai that day were smiling as if their cheeks were blooming.
"Datong, Qu Yi is your subordinate, and I am an old friend of yours. Seeing that the lord is about to launch an army again, can you bear to watch your brother Xiahou take hunting items to fight with the thieves?"
"I've heard about the arrival of thousands of good crossbow machines. Your workshop in Dongjun has started to build them!"
Fang Guang didn't expect that Xia Houyuan, the son of the emperor, would use his scheming methods this time and wanted his crossbow machine. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"How many thousands of tools? The production capacity of Dongjun Workshop is not satisfactory. It is difficult to make ten guns in a day. Among the ten, there are still one or two that cannot be adjusted to produce lethality!"
"My county only has a little over two thousand a year, and there are still some damage in Qu Yi's army. Miaocai, you want them all, and I still owe you!"
