There were no entertainment activities at that time. Even if rich families kept some singers and dancers, they were used to please men. Women rarely saw singing and dancing performances, and the party was a term. Bian Yu, Cai Yan and others were even more popular.
This was something I had never heard of before, so I couldn't help but feel confused.
But Ma Yun was already laughing so hard that she said, "Okay, then you can perform a show first."
Although Liu Xin has learned a lot of messy things, he has no talent in terms of talents. However, Liu Xin knew that these women had silently paid too much for him, and he was also obliged to make them happy, so he was not humble and said
: "Okay, I don't know anything else, I'll just do some somersaults for you."
The restaurant was tall and spacious, with two large dining tables taking up only one-third of the space. There was still a lot of open space. Liu Xin threw off her robe, threw herself into a bunt, and began to writhe on the ground, somersaulting forward and then back.
Somersaults and various movements were performed in one go without any pause. Although this series of somersaults was dazzling, it was at most comparable to the level of a supporting role in Peking Opera. However, there were no drama performances at that time. In the eyes of the children, it was already an eye-opener.
, each one clapped their hands excitedly, their little hands turned red.
Liu Xin stopped her movements and said to Bian Yu and the others: "My performance is over, it's your turn."
Cai Yan said with a smile: "You just did Sun Monkey's Somersault Cloud? I didn't see you doing a thousand miles. Could it be that this room is the palm of the Tathagata Buddha's hand?"
Liu Xin pretended to be angry and pinched her plump buttocks with his hand, and whispered in her ear: "If you dare to laugh at me as a monkey, then fine, I'll let you try the Golden Cudgel tonight."
sharp!"
Cai Yan's buttocks hurt, and he let out a soft cry, and said angrily: "I'm not behaving properly in front of the children. Tonight, your golden cudgel can't hit me. If you want to hit me, it's time to hit Sister Yu."
"
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Bian Yu, only to find that Bian Yu had walked to the middle to show off her singing voice, and quickly ordered the maid to fetch her piano and flute.
Cai Jue has lived in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion for many years, and has long been accustomed to these warm little gestures between Liu Xin and his wife. But Diao Chan is different. Although she has not been in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion for a long time, she is very familiar with her.
She has a lot of confidence in her beauty. Unfortunately, Liu Xin always doesn't look at her seriously, which makes her even doubt whether this tall and handsome man has the habit of Longyang.
Suddenly seeing the intimacy between Liu Xin and Cai Yan, Diao Chan couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, and her cheeks were slightly warm. At this time, Bian Yu's singing suddenly reached her ears. Diao Chan
She was shocked. She had always boasted that she was good at singing and dancing. When she heard Bian Yu's singing, she realized what it meant to be the best among the best. Bian Yu sang a popular song she learned from Ma Yun, and the melody was very weird.
But it was very pleasant to the ears, and Diao Chan was also a little fascinated by it.
After Bian Yu finished singing, melodious music sounded in the hall. Cai Yan and Cai Jue played a piano and flute ensemble. Cai Jue stayed in Cai Yan's courtyard for many years and learned a lot from Cai Yan.
, music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all involved, and this Keting flute was played to her lips, and it also had a certain appearance.
Liu Xin glanced at the Ling'er sisters who were standing aside with their big bellies, and said regretfully: "You two are going to give birth in a few days, or you can perform your stunts for us all."
Before Sister Ling'er could reply, she saw a figure flickering, bowing to Liu Xin Yingying, and said sweetly: "If I don't dislike it, I would like to dance for you."
The one who spoke was Diao Chan. She had been waiting for the opportunity to show her hand in front of Liu Xin. After hearing what Liu Xin said to the Ling'er sisters, she immediately rushed forward and introduced herself.
Liu Xin was actually already famous for Diao Chan, one of the four beauties. She knew that her dancing skills were truly outstanding and wanted to feast her eyes on her. However, Liu Xin was always wary of her. When she saw her, she suddenly raised her head to the sky.
He yawned and said, "Why do I feel sleepy all of a sudden? Thank you for your kindness, girl. That's it for today's party. I'll wait until I have a chance to see her again next time."
Ma Yun also reacted and stepped forward at the right time and said: "I have heard that Sister Diao Chan is a great singer and dancer. I also want to see you perform. But it is really getting late and the children should go to rest. Look,
Even my sister didn’t have time to show her hand.”
After hearing her words, Diao Chan naturally couldn't say anything else, but she couldn't hide the aggrieved look on her face, and her big black eyes were filled with crystal tears. Liu Xin was cruel, pretending not to see anything, and turned around
Out of the hall door.
The next morning, Liu Xin woke up early. He put on his clothes, kissed Bian Yu gently on the forehead, who was still sleeping, and walked out of the room.
While having breakfast, Liu Xin unexpectedly found Cai Jue sitting at the dining table and asked strangely: "Miss Cai, why are you so early today?"
Cai Jue's face turned red and he said, "I'm making you laugh. These days, the daughter of the people gets up early every day to help the second lady with the store."
Seeing that Liu Xin's face seemed to be unbelievable, Cai Jue lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Sir, don't underestimate the daughter of the people. Our Cai family has a lot of property. The daughter of the people has heard about it since she was a child. Things in the store are not as good as those of the second wife."
They know little."
Cai Yan also spoke for her: "Yes, if it weren't for her help, the business of our several shops would not be so good."
Only then did Liu Xin know that she was going to the store. Liu Xin wished that she would go out every day. It would be best if she could go back to her own home and never come again. That would be happy, so she nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, I have something to do."
Better than nothing, it’s right to go out for a walk, you can’t stay at home all the time.”
Yan Yan, the guard general of Luocheng, received the document for borrowing the passage from Jingzhou. He did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly arranged for it to be sent to Chengdu. After reading the requirements in the document, Liu Yan sighed and frowned. Since Zhang Song last time
, Zhu Bao and others failed in plotting against Liu Xin, and Liu Yan was so frightened that he became seriously ill. Later, Liu Xin indeed raised troops to take revenge, captured two counties in a row, killed Zhu Bao, and captured Zhang Ren, Lei Tong, and Wu Lan alive. Liu Yan
Since then, he has been in constant fear, fearing that Liu Xin would not stop and fight all the way to Chengdu. Fortunately, news came later that Liu Xin had stopped taking action after he captured Bajun. However, Liu Yan's health began to deteriorate from then on, and he was not as good as one day.
One day.
Zhang Song on the side said cautiously: "My lord, Liu Xin wants to take advantage of the road to attack Dong Zhuo, and he is raising the banner of morality. If he doesn't agree, he may lose the support of the people. For this plan, he should be hypocritical and agree falsely.
Let him in, but set up an ambush in a dangerous place, and capture the Jingzhou army in one fell swoop!"
Liu Zhang snorted coldly and said: "Father, don't listen to Master Zhang. This must be Liu Xin's plan to attack Guo through false routes! If the Jingzhou army is allowed to enter Luocheng, they will definitely take Chengdu directly!"
Liu Yan suddenly realized it and scolded Zhang Song angrily: "I thought you had a reputation for being talented. I treated you like a confidant and wanted to help you, but you didn't want to repay me! Last time, you made a bad decision and made a grudge with Liu Xin, and now you do this again.
What are you planning to do next? If you don’t retreat quickly, if you dare to speak nonsense again, you will definitely be executed without mercy!”
Zhang Song retreated helplessly, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Xichuan is in danger!"
After receiving Liu Yan's reply that he refused to borrow the road, Jushou said with sorrow: "As expected, my lord, is it time to use troops against Xichuan next?"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord and sir, there is no need to be anxious. The use of troops is certain. However, the time has not come yet. We can immediately send out a message to accuse Liu Yan of being an accomplice! Then we can slowly make arrangements. The real attack on Xichuan will have to wait until autumn and winter."
."
Jushou said in confusion: "In autumn and winter, the weather is very cold, and it is difficult to transport food and grass, which is even more unfavorable for marching and fighting. Moreover, soldiers need to be very fast. Since the message is issued, they should take action immediately, and Liu Yan cannot be prepared."
Guo Jia explained: "Luocheng was built between two mountains. It is called a city, but it is actually a pass. If it can't defend it, it will be difficult to capture it in a hurry. I have discussed it with my lord, and the army can bypass Xiangke and go to Jianning."
, approaching Chengdu from south to north. However, the mountains and forests there are dense, the weather is hot in summer, there are many miasma snakes and insects, and epidemic diseases are easy to spread, so we have to wait until autumn and winter before we can use our troops."
Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "However, I will not let Luocheng idle, I have to find something for them to do. I ordered the fifth army to advance to the Luocheng Pass, yelling and fighting day and night, but they are not allowed to attack by force."
After the documents were sent out, Liu Xin was not idle. He immediately reorganized the army and distributed the 100,000 newly recruited recruits to various legions. After six months of intensive training, these recruits had a completely new look.
Mixing them with veterans who have been baptized on the battlefield will be very beneficial to improving their combat skills and tactical literacy. Soon, they will also become qualified warriors. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Wei Yan were all sent to
Each legion was on duty, and Wei Yan now followed Huang Zhong and led the fifth legion to set off as scheduled, passing through Bajun and heading towards Luocheng.
In fact, Huang Zhong's mission was to harass the Luocheng defenders, which could also be said to be a suspicious force. He divided the entire army into three teams, one team rested in Bajun, and the other two teams took turns to go to Luocheng day and night to scold and challenge. Liu Xin even
Two trebuchets were also sent to throw a few stones at them. The defenders of Luocheng never had a peaceful sleep since then.
At the same time, Liu Xin secretly transferred Xu Huang's First Army and Zhang Fei's Second Army to Zoke territory, organized training locally, learned the simple language of the barbarians, adapted to the local climate and environment, and prepared for the autumn and winter wars.
prepare for.
The news came back from Luoyang, and the Guandong princes were indeed torn apart. They parted ways much faster than Liu Xin expected, and they did not even spend their honeymoon period. Some people returned to their bases, and Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai directly killed
Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, died and his troops were annexed. Yuan Shao also left Luoyang and went to Hanoi. Liu Xin knew that soon, Yuan Shao would occupy Jizhou and have a great battle with Gongsun Zan, but without the help of Zhao Yun,
Gongsun Zan will definitely lose faster and more miserably.
What Liu Xin couldn't understand was that Luoyang had become a scorched earth in history, and the princes were naturally unwilling to stay there. But now most of Luoyang is intact, and there are still 300,000 people. Why do these princes abandon Luoyang and go their separate ways?
Woolen cloth?
Just when Liu Xin was puzzled, the phantom secret agent sent a secret report.
