Chapter 397 Yueying persuades her husband to go to Bajun
Liu Bei can only describe Shamoko as hating him to the core, because every time he wants to do something, Shamoko will jump out and make trouble. Just like if he wants to attack Yizhou, Shamoko will attack Wuling.
, he invited Zhuge Liang, but Shamoko robbed him of his gifts. So, Liu Bei angrily decided to kill Shamoko first and then invite Zhuge Liang.
It has to be said that once a person makes up his mind, as long as his perseverance can keep up, the power he bursts out must not be underestimated. Liu Bei suffered a lot under Deng Zhi and Shamoko, but once he showed his power, the two of them were defeated day by day.
Defeated and had to retreat to the mountains. Of course, Liu Bei alone did not have such ability, most of it was Liao Li's plan.
The battle between Liu Bei and Samoko soon reached Zhuge Liang's ears. Zhuge Liang just smiled and stopped paying attention. He was also quite disappointed with Liu Bei. In fact, Liu Bei cannot be blamed for this. Thinking about history, Xu Shugang
Liu Bei was poached by Cao Cao after letting Liu Bei taste the benefits of being a counselor. Before Xu Shu left, he praised Zhuge Liang to the sky. Coupled with the momentum created by Huang Chengyan and others, Liu Bei naturally yearned for Zhuge Liang very much, and it was okay to be a little angry.
Now, Liu Bei has Liao Li under his command, and Liao Li is as talented as Zhuge Liang, that is to say, he is second only to Zhuge Liang. He is not the first in literature and the second in military power. Although Liao Li wants Zhuge Liang to be used by Liu Bei, he is not convinced from the bottom of his heart.
, naturally he will not belittle himself to promote Zhuge Liang. Without a strong person to recommend, and without Huang Chengyan and others to gain momentum, Zhuge Liang is still putting on airs. Liu Bei is also a prince, how can he swallow his words to a common people? If it were not for Zhuge Liang, he would be of great use.
Liao Li also appreciated it a lot, maybe Liu Bei wouldn't think about him anymore.
Zhuge Liang also had a good grasp of people's hearts. When he saw Liu Bei's expression when he mentioned Liao Li in the back hall, he understood something in his heart. Since Liu Bei would probably not come again, Liu Zhang and others would definitely not risk looking for him, so he let go of the celebrity
His demeanor is like that of a member of an ordinary aristocratic family, working hard, studying, and accompanying his wife every day.
"Husband" means marrying a beggar and following a beggar, marrying an old man and following the old man. Since Zhuge Liang is willing to be a farmer, Huang Yueying will never mind being a farmer's wife. In fact, many women from big families are willing to marry a farmer as their wife.
Although he lives a poorer life, he can avoid a lot of intrigues, intrigues, and even prevent his husband from having three wives and four concubines.
"Madam? Why are you here?" Zhuge Liang raised his head and showed a bright smile. After more than a month of farming, his fair skin turned into a bronze color, making him look healthier and more handsome.
"Come to bring food to my husband." Huang Yueying still covered her face with white gauze, because Huang Chengyan told her since she was a child that beauty is a disaster. Because of this, when she was publicized as an ugly woman, Huang Yueying didn't care at all.
It was just on the wedding night that Zhuge Liang was greatly excited.
It's not because his wife is a beautiful woman, but because his wife is not ugly. Even if Zhuge Liang doesn't care about appearance, it would be a bit too much if a woman who looks like Zhong Kui sleeps next to him every day. On the wedding night, he opened his eyes
Under his wife's veil, he discovered a delicate and charming little face, which was completely different from the Zhong Wuyang he had imagined. How could Zhuge Liang not be excited?
"Silly girl, why did you come here by yourself?" Seeing beads of sweat flashing on his wife's forehead, Zhuge Liang felt really distressed. He shook his head and said: "There are two bookboys at home. Just let them come. Are these two
Are you lazy again?"
"I came here myself." The wife cares most about her husband's love for her. Seeing Zhuge Liang caring so much for her, Huang Yueying felt very sweet in her heart. She smiled slightly and said: "In other families, the husband goes to the fields and the wife brings food. How can my family do it?"
Can be an exception"
"You are right." Zhuge Liang washed his hands, took Huang Yueying to the shade of the tree, opened the food box, and ate the dishes inside. Huang Yueying was not only good at carpentry, knitting, and housework, she was good at everything. In the Han Dynasty,
, the eldest lady who has no fingers in the vagina will never get married unless it is a marriage. Even if she does get married, she will be looked down upon by her husband's family.
Seeing Zhuge Liang eating with big mouthfuls, Huang Yueying was even more happy. She handed a bowl of soup to Zhuge Liang and said: "Eat slowly."
Zhuge Liang took the soup, took two sips, and continued to eat. The farmers next to him couldn't help but be a little envious when they saw the young couple being so loving. More people thought of their newlyweds and became gentle with their old wives beside them. After eating, Huang
After Yueying put away the dishes, she smiled and said: "Husband, we don't have enough salt, soy sauce and other supplies at home, but there is a war in Wuling, the bookboy and uncle are young, and I am a daughter, so I have to ask my husband to come over."
"
"It's nothing." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "After I finish the work, I will drive into the city. I heard that Shamoko surrendered to the champion and abide by the military laws and regulations of the champion, even though he is a foreigner.
, but it does not harm the people.”
"Husband, I think you should go to Bajun." Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Although Samoko observes etiquette, he is a foreigner after all. Anyway, Fuguan is not far from here, and it will be the same if you go to Fucheng."
"Okay." Zhuge Liang pinched Huang Yueying's nose with a smile and said, "Did you hear some news before sending me to Yizhou? Let me guess, could it be that the champion has come to pacify the Southern Barbarians?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from my husband." Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Yuanzhi wrote a letter, saying that the champion had swept the north and became the overlord of the north. Now, he is preparing to defeat the southern barbarians, move the Wuxi barbarians into Shu, and turn them into Han people. In order to avoid
The local officials discriminated against foreigners, which made Samoko feel unhappy, so the champion prince came with his army."
"Yuan Zhi is a strategist, right?" Zhuge Liang sighed: "He is lucky enough to have a good relationship with the champion early, so that his talents can be fully displayed, but I...don't mention it."
"Aren't you proud of your husband?" Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Why don't you let Yuan Zhi recommend it to the champion, and then you can go see that talented man..."
"That's inappropriate..." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that Ying'er is being looked down upon? Don't worry, she has her own plans for her husband."
"Alas..." Huang Yueying sighed softly: "I still can't persuade you. Even if you are a farmer all your life, you are still my husband."
"Who is he if he is not your husband?" Zhuge Liang said: "There is no better word than fate in the world. Master said that Liu Bei and I were destined, and he also gave me this sentence: Although Wolong has his master, he cannot use his master's talent and learning at the right time.
, I’m sure I’m not wrong, one day I will get the owner, but I don’t understand what it means to be untimely.”
"Do you really believe it, husband?" Huang Yueying frowned disdainfully and said: "Sima Hui, that stinky old man, keeps talking all day long, and also says that Liu Bei has the spirit of an emperor. I think Liu Bei is about to die, and there is no outbreak anywhere.
"Out of the emperor's anger"
"Don't be rude to the master." Zhuge Liang shook his head. Huang Chengyan was friends with Sima Hui. Sima Hui grew up watching Huang Yueying. Although Huang Yueying respected Sima Hui in her heart, she always called him a smelly old man. Even Sima Hui
Nothing can be done
"Oh, I won't scream if you don't scream." Huang Yueying pouted her little mouth in dissatisfaction and pushed up the veil. The bright red mouth was looming under the tulle, making people endlessly daydream. It was just the grievance in her eyes that made her
Zhuge Liang had to raise his hands and surrender.
"Okay, okay." Zhuge Liang put his hand on his forehead and said, "Why don't I have nothing to do with your affairs with the master? If you want to shout, he will listen, and I will pretend not to hear. That's fine."
"Thank you so much, husband." Huang Yueying smiled, making Zhuge Liang even more helpless.
Huang Chengyan was such a precious daughter, not to mention doting on him. Sima Hui had disciples all over the world, but he had no heirs, so he doted on his old friend's daughter. As for Mr. Pang De, although he was from a wealthy family, he also had many sons and daughters in his family.
, but no one is as lovely as Huang Yueying. He originally planned to arrange marriage for Pang Tong, and even regarded Huang Yueying as his future daughter-in-law. Huang Yueying, who was doted on by three people, was simply the little princess of Jingxiang, and she had an ancient spirit when she was a child.
With his strange character, even Zhuge Liang was once poisoned by him. As for his daughter-in-law, Zhuge Liang was willing to take advantage of her.
"Okay, I'm going back." Huang Yueying blushed and picked up the food box and walked towards the thatched cottage. Zhuge Liang stared at his back and couldn't help but smile.
As the saying goes: After listening to his wife's advice, he had enough food to eat and finished the work in the fields. Zhuge Liang changed into his robes and prepared to go to Ba County. Although more copper coins were used in the Han Dynasty, bartering was still king. Zhuge Liang ordered his people to prepare them.
A donkey cart, carrying a few bags of rice and a book boy, headed for Bajun.
Although Wuling and Bajun are close to each other, Zhuge Liang has never been there. Of course, Zhuge Liang has also heard about the prosperity of Yizhou, but in his opinion, the prosperity of Yizhou is not due to Liu Zhang, but to Yizhou's good geographical location.
Affected by the war. But when he arrived in Yizhou, he found that it was not the same thing.
Nowadays, Yizhou is also in the midst of war. Gao Ding and others from Zangda County are threatening the safety of Ba County. Fa Zheng leads a large army to fight against them. However, there is no tense atmosphere in Ba County. You know, in the eyes of the Han people,
, barbarians are savages who do not respect kings, and are even man-eating monsters, but Zhuge Liang saw that in Bajun, Han people and barbarians were doing business, and they were talking happily.
What Zhuge Liang knows about Yizhou is all the information passed through the Huang family and Pang family's intelligence network. Since the aristocratic family does not like Liu Zhang, even a positive image will be described in a very bad light. Zhuge Liang has tried his best to eliminate the aristocratic family's ideas from it.
But I didn’t expect Yizhou to be so harmonious
Of course, Zhuge Liang did not come to Wuling because he fell in love with Liu Bei. He had heard that Liu Zhang's intelligence personnel were extremely powerful. He was worried that Liu Zhang would find out whether he came or went, but it didn't matter now. In his mind, Liu Bei should not
Will come again. Without the burden on his mind, Zhuge Liang looked around on the streets of Yizhou, feeling a bit like a country bumpkin entering the city.
Salt and other things are nothing in Yizhou, because Yizhou has salt fields and salt wells. However, when Zhuge Liang was about to exchange grain for salt, a problem occurred. The merchants in Yizhou refused to exchange rice grain for salt. Zhuge Liang was very depressed. In Jingzhou
At that time, exchanging food for things was king. As a last resort, he could only use money to buy food.
"Sir, are you from other places?" Zhuge Liang bought a large amount of salt, and the merchant made a deal. He was so happy that he started chatting with him.
"It's just that you are really discerning." Zhuge Liang also wanted to talk to someone to understand the situation in Yizhou. The Art of War says: Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Although Zhuge Liang and Liu Zhang are no longer enemies, he still instinctively wants to understand Liu Zhang. This
It can also be regarded as an occupational disease.
The merchant smiled and said: "I don't have any discernment, so I just took out a big bag of grain to Mr. Yizhou. Everyone in Yizhou will know that you are from out of town."
"Uh..." Zhuge Liang said in astonishment; "Exchange for things is not popular in Yizhou?"
"Of course, the whole of Yizhou only uses five baht coins, but the five baht coins are also divided into colors." The merchant laughed: "In the past, before the war broke out, the champion prince came to Yizhou and made a rule that food could only be obtained from
In government transactions, anyone who dares to collect and sell grain will be beheaded. At that time, some wealthy families refused to listen and insisted on tampering with the grain, so they were killed by the champion. Originally, everyone thought that the champion was tyrannical, but who expected it?
Over the years, people's lives have become more and more stable. Now, the champions are gaining more and more territory, and our good days are coming again."
Zhuge Liang asked: "If people don't have food in their homes, can they buy it?"
"Of course not," the merchant said: "The champion loves the people so much, how can he treat the people badly? The government has grain stores, and people who have no grain can go there to buy it, but they are not allowed to hoard it. There is no problem in buying hundreds of kilograms a day, if it exceeds a certain amount
, the government will only ask."
"Some aristocratic families often have hundreds of people, and a hundred kilograms of food a day is not enough to eat?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "It would be interesting if people starved to death."
"Those big families have registered with the government. If it is not enough, they can naturally buy more than the common people." The merchant smiled and said: "Sir, I don't know. The champion has made many regulations in Yizhou. It's just that we little people don't understand, so we can only
Just follow them, but because of these regulations, our life is getting better and better."
"Champion Hou Xiong has a great strategy. With him in Yizhou, the life of the people will certainly be easier. But..." Zhuge Liang pointed directly at the barbarians next to him and said in a low voice: "I heard that the barbarians in Zangda County are rebelling. How come the Champion Hou allows you to have sex with the barbarians?"
Business?"
"We are Wuxi barbarians." Although Zhuge Liang's voice was low, it was heard by the barbarians. But those seemingly fierce barbarians said very kindly: "Scholar, don't be surprised. In Yizhou, the champions treat us like this.
The barbarians are just like the Han people, very fair. You may not know that the reason why Zangqi County rebelled and failed to invade Ba County was because no one in the Yinkeng dòng or the Thirty-Sixth dòngdòng was willing to go against the champion Hou Gaoding.
If you can get both Thirty-sixth Dòng and Yinkeng Dòng to raise troops, even if you can't attack Yizhou, Bajun will not be spared."
Zhuge Liang nodded. Although the southern barbarians were not as good as the northern foreigners, there was no problem in sending two to three hundred thousand troops. In addition, the barbarians climbed mountains and waded as if they were walking on flat ground. What these people said was not big words. But Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled.
The Han people have always hated each other. Why are these Wuxi barbarians so optimistic about Liu Zhang? Even the southern barbarian leaders are not willing to be enemies of Liu Zhang.
