Chapter 175 Is it better to steal than to be a concubine?

When Guan Yu left the camp and returned to Xudu, Liu Bei was actually on the battlefield of the Yellow River, and he led his troops outside with Yuan Shao's chief cavalry Wen Chou.

Liu Bei went out of the city to reconnaissance in Xiaopei at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately encountered Cao Ren. Cao Chun was disbanded and then moved from Qingzhou to Hebei.

Yuan Shao may have the consideration of being polite and polite, or he may have been self-blame mentality of sending troops too late, so he went out to Yecheng for two hundred miles to welcome Liu Bei.

The "robbery of clothes and belts" brought by Liu Bei was exactly the excuse that Yuan Shao urgently needed to send troops.

The use of the "Ling Zhao" blocked Ju Su, Tian Feng and others' mouths, and accelerated the speed of the army's money and grain accumulation, which led to significant results of crossing the river one after another.

Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou in the first month, and Yuan Shao divided his troops into two groups to attack Baima and Yanjin in February.

The troops were sent out a month later to make Liu Bei trip up Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao did not expect that Liu Bei was defeated so quickly and could not help him delay time. However, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao quickly, and the "Clothing and Edict" would not be sent to Hebei, which saved Yuan Shao's time to integrate the war.

Shortly after the Battle of White Horse ended, Liu Bei and Wen Chou experienced the Battle of Yanjin. Wen Chou was unfortunately killed in the melee, and Yuan Shao's side was frustrated again.

Although Cao Cao won two consecutive games, he knew that the Yellow River flow was eased during this period and there were many places where he could land on the crossing, so he decisively gave up Yanjin and left the white horse in front of the line, and retreated the main force to the Guandu fortification.

Yuan Shao led his army to advance in a row, and the east and west troops were dozens of miles away. He confronted Cao Cao with Shadui. He secretly sent Liu Bei to Runan to invade the Yellow Turbans who had previously instigated the rebellion and threatened Cao Cao's rear.

Later, Guan Yu hangs a seal and seals gold to find Liu Bei, and the two brothers finally meet in Runan without expressing their opinions.

The third brother Zhang Fei escaped from Xiaopei and followed dozens of cavalry to wander in Liang Kingdom, Yuzhou and other places for several months. Later, under the guidance of Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei, he traveled to Huainan.

In March of spring, Hefei is busy inside and outside.

The newly reclaimed fertile fields outside the city are being planted in spring, and a political project in the city is coming to an end.

Longxiang was located in the southeastern part of central Hefei, and the craftsman camp built a nine-story square platform. A two-meter-high hero monument was erected in the center of the platform to commemorate the comrades who died in the defense battle of Hefei, and to commemorate relatives and friends buried in a foreign land.

On the day the Hero Monument was completed, Long Xiang brought Hefei civil and military officials to the scene in person and took the stage to read the eulogy written by Lu Su. Then, under the leadership of five governors, the soldiers of each battalion went to the monument to pay tribute to the comrades in front of the monument.

War is ruthless, life is fragile.

Those who need tribute and spiritual support are not just soldiers in the army?

The people of Hefei also have needs. They spontaneously go to the Hero Monument to commemorate their relatives, friends and family.

After the completion ceremony of the Hero Monument, Long Xiang was anxious to return to the Sima Mansion of the Army.

At this time, the news of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou had reached Hefei, but no matter whether it was Liu, Guan and Zhang brothers, or Luo Yicheng sent out, Xu Wei had no news. He had to send more people to inquire about the situation and ask Cao Xing every day for the situation.

At dusk that day, Lu Su and others had already left, and Long Xiong held his forehead in a daze.

There is a map on the table in front of you. The dotted lines outlined in the picture are the inference given by Lu Su for Long Xiang, which infers that Liu Bei's route from Xuzhou to Hefei, the farthest and most circumferential one is passing through the southwest of Guangling and entering Huainan from the northeast of Jiujiang County.

If Liu Bei really used Guangling, would Chen Deng choose to take in and help, or capture and give it to Cao Zhe?

When Long Xiang was in a daze, he heard the sound of gentle footsteps in the hall.

He thought that the maid came to deliver supper, so he knocked on the table and said lazyly: "Is it another soup cake today? Put it aside and dry it first."

"Are you hungry?"

Longxiong was shocked because this was the second lady's voice.

Since last year's showdown with Chen, Longxiang would bring gifts to the back house to visit during the holidays, but every time Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan avoided it.

In fact, all three of them were tacit, just waiting for the end of the filial piety period to finish their marriage.

Although the three of them confirmed their relationship, the women in the boudoir had to keep the courtesy before the wedding.

Qiao Wan suddenly found the front hall, and Long Xiang was surprised for a moment, which made him feel like he had an affair with Qiao Wei on his back.

Is this the so-called "It's better to steal than to be a concubine"?

"Miss Second, why are you here?" Long Xiang stood up stammeringly.

"Mother. Mother asked me to come"

Qiao Wan, who has always been lively, has her cheeks flushed because of her love first.

It was Chen who was coming, but she had interrogated an errand halfway and wanted to talk to Long Xiang before marriage. That was the unbearable throbbing of youth.

The two sisters married the same husband, and Long Xiang married them with the courtesy of a wife. Qiao Wan was moved as her sister.

The three of them had such a marriage, mainly because of Qiao Wei's misunderstanding. Seeing Long Xiang so hard, wouldn't the young Qiao Wan fall?

As a weak woman, it is a great blessing to be able to meet the person she likes in troubled times.

Although Qiao Wan has not married at this time, her heart has already been promised.

Long Xiang saw Qiao Wan covering her face and lowering her head, looking shy and embarrassed. He couldn't bear to tease her, so he went straight to the point.

"What are the instructions for the foreign aunt?"

"Well, it's nothing. The third brother hasn't returned home so late. My mother asked me to come and take a look."

Although Qiao Wan still lowered her head, she spoke a lot, and obviously her emotions were adjusting quickly.

Long Xiang frowned and thought for a while, and replied, "I have seen him at noon, and I will go in the afternoon. Maybe I have gone to Uncle Zhong. The young master has been helping in the craftsman camp recently and has made great progress."

"The third brother is the only male member of the Qiao family. You are his future sister. Brother-in-law, please teach him more."

Qiao Wan secretly glanced at Long Xiang, and her heart was like a deer bumping into her.

As Longxiang gradually became adult, the edges and corners of his face suddenly became clear, which was completely different from those in Qiaofu.

Perhaps it was the psychological change brought about by time travel. Long Xiang had confidence with his future knowledge, which led to his appearance being born from the heart, making Qiao Wan feel more and more attractive to him.

"No need for a second lady to remind me, I will definitely teach the young master to become a talent."

After saying that, Long Xiang looked outside the hall. The light and dark sky light indicated that the sun had set and it would be dark in less than half an hour.

"It's getting dark, so I'll go out of the house to look for it. Don't be delayed by anything."

"Yeah, Yunqi, be careful"

Qiao Wan responded with a soft voice, causing Long Xiang's hair to stand up, thinking that the second lady was actually this way, but it was a pity that she had born in the wrong era, otherwise she would have to record a sweet voice for the navigation.

Long Xiang asked, "I'll send it back first?"

"No need. You're busy with yours, I'll leave."

After Qiao Wan finished speaking, she covered her face like a rabbit, making Monk Long Xiang confused. He had no experience in love and could not guess the girl's thoughts at all.

Just as Long Xiang scratched his head and was puzzled, Qiao Wan walked to the palace gate and suddenly turned around. She saw her hands behind her back, her upper body slightly tilted forward, revealing her former playful appearance again.

"By the way, I heard you ask me about dinner just now. I'll explain it to the kitchen later."

When Long Xiang saw Qiao Wan's smile, he instantly remembered some of the beauty of the world, and asked without thinking: "Special? Are there any noodles?"

"Noodles? Have you?"

Qiao Wan heard of noodles for the first time, and probably the reference to what kind of food it was, and disappeared without waiting for Long Xiang to react.
