As the autumn wind blew, Old Wutou rummaged through the wooden box in the corner of the house and found a thin velvet vest that had been wrapped very carefully.
The style of this dress was really strange, and Old Wutou couldn't help but appreciate it, but the warmth and softness of the cashmere tentacles made him sigh softly in comfort.
"Master, it's getting cold, please add some clothes." Lao Wutou held a cashmere vest, came to the desk, and handed the vest to Xu Da, who was leaning at the desk and drawing on the map.
Xu Da's mouth twitched at the age-evident title of master, but at nearly thirty, he had indeed entered the category of middle-aged old man in this era.
Xu Da sighed lightly, lamenting that his youth would never come back. While taking the vest and putting it on, he was still thinking about the hydrological conditions drawn on the map.
After Sun Miao died and the main force of Yuan's army sent to Yuyang in Youzhou was completely wiped out by Gongsun Zan, they marched all the way south, successively regaining the cities that had been captured by Yuan's army, and taking advantage of the high morale, they directly attacked the Bohai Sea.
county.
Now, they are preparing to head to the river.
Yuan Zhao, the shepherd of Jizhou, saw that Gongsun Zan's army was overwhelming and his old nest was not safe, so he wrote a letter to Zhao Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, who was Gongsun Zan's immediate superior in Youzhou and his only rival, asking for reconciliation.
Zhao Yu was a well-known man among the people, and he always adhered to the concept of peaceful governance of negotiating if he could and not fighting if he could.
Gongsun Zan is just the opposite. If you don't accept it, he will beat you until the opponent's clan is exterminated.
Put these two people together, it’s really a spark and lightning, it’s amazing!
But now the two of them no longer despise each other. Zhao Yu cut off the food and grass for Gongsun Zan's army and asked them to retreat. Now Gongsun Zan is so angry that he wants to turn around and send people to kill Zhao Yu!
No, I called him this morning and asked him how to kill Zhao Yu, whether by force or assassination. I only asked Xu Da, who was one head and two heads high.
We are not interested in killing Zhao Yu. Since Zhao Yu can consider Yuan Zhao's idea of getting back together, it means that others dislike you.
We are sandwiched in the middle now, and if we get along with both sides, it will most likely be made into sandwich biscuits.
Xu Da asked Gongsun Zan to be patient for now.
However, another big event happened during this season.
Emperor Qingxuan, who was welcomed to Xudu by Cao, said, "I miss my uncle." He sent an envoy and Zhao Yu's son, who had been staying in Kyoto as a hostage, to ask his uncle Zhao Yu for help, saying that he wanted to return to the old capital Chang'an.
What does it mean?
It seems that the little emperor wants to go home, but in fact he wants Zhao Yu to rescue him.
Although Daqing exists in name only, the name is still there. What does the emperor say? It is an imperial edict.
With this secret decree, Zhao Yu could completely use the banner of Qingjun side and raise his troops south to attack Cao De.
but!
This secret was leaked, and Yuan Zhao sent people to kidnap the envoy and Zhao Yu's son on the way. They are now in Hejian. This is why Zhao Yu agreed to Yuan Zhao's reunion.
Thinking of these things, even if he was wearing the little vest given by his eldest daughter, Xu Da's heart was filled with chills.
However, in his opinion, if Gongsun Zan could put aside his personal emotions and treat this matter ideally, Gongsun Zan's army could still continue to capture Hejian.
Not only can we take Hejian, but we can also take the entire Jizhou.
That is to send people to rescue Zhao Yu's son and the envoy, and knock the bargaining chips out of Yuan Zhao's hand, so that Zhao Yu can be stabilized.
It's just that Gongsun Zan has a surly personality and will retaliate, so if you want to calm him down, you have to use some means.
Xu Da raised his eyes and looked at the two white cranes dancing gracefully in the courtyard, and decided to give Gongsun Zan a warning.
But before he could come up with a specific method, He Zeng rushed in.
"Master! Miss Youniang has sent someone to deliver something!" He Zeng said excitedly. Before anyone could enter the room, a loud voice came through.
Young mother?
Xu Da was immediately overjoyed and immediately put all his troubles aside, stood up and walked out of the house.
He Zeng called the people behind him to be careful about the threshold and ran towards Mr. Xu, "Master, there are several big boxes!"
A group of people dressed in gray linen came in carrying a box. They carefully put the box down first, and then they all saluted Xu Da with fists in his hands.
Xu Da recognized these familiar faces with just one glance.
It was the captured Jizhou cavalry.
Xu Da waved his hand to signal them to excuse themselves, and asked in confusion: "What is this? Are you okay?"
The leader replied that everything was fine at home, but he did not say what was in the box, but looked around vaguely.
Xu Da understood immediately and asked them to carry the box into the house, drive away the rest of the people, and closed the door, leaving only the captain.
"Now that there are no outsiders, you can open it." Xu Da urged curiously.
The captain nodded and opened the ten tightly tied wooden boxes one after another. The wooden boxes were covered with fluffy hay, hiding the contents inside.
Xu Da walked to one of the wooden boxes, pushed aside the hay, and saw a whole box of colorful glass cups.
The dazzling brilliance of the glass illuminated the dim room, making it impossible to take one's eyes away.
The captain had actually never seen anything in the box, he only knew it was a fragile treasure. When he first saw the shining glass, his eyes widened in shock and he subconsciously held his breath.
I was afraid that if I breathed loudly, I would shatter these beautiful objects.
Xu Dal was stunned for two seconds, and then he seemed to recover, picked up one of them and played with it in his hands.
The shape of the double-ear bottle cup is smooth and cool to the touch, and the colors are gorgeous and flowing. I simply can’t get enough of it.
And the color of each one is slightly different, which makes people more curious to explore.
Xu Dal changed several cups in a row and couldn't put it down.
But there were nine boxes behind him, so he had to put down these beautiful glass cups first and go to the other boxes.
When you open the hay, you will find glass vases and glass ornaments that are completely transparent and purer than glass.
There are also white porcelain dishes that are flawless and can be seen through the eyes.
Among them, there are five pairs of long-necked red-pink gradient glass bottles. The wavy bottle mouth reveals a colorful halo, and the bottle body has a diamond-shaped section. Together with the red-pink gradient color, it is simply gorgeous to the extreme.
Xu Da couldn't help but gulp down his saliva when he saw it. Even though he was enjoying himself in the world of cultivation, he had never seen such a clear color.
The captain, who was numb from the stimulation of this series of gorgeous treasures, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Da.
Xu Da opened the letter and found his daughter's crooked handwriting on the yellowed paper, which detailed the names and uses of these objects.
Xu Da read it carefully until he saw the words "It's cold, daddy, put on more clothes" at the end, then he folded the letter comfortably and put it in his sleeve.
Xu Da called He Zeng in and asked him to take these people down to rest for a few days.
After I have finished processing this batch of things, I will take the grain and cloth back directly, so that my little daughter, who is short of money, will not have to wait in a hurry.
"Tsk~" Xu Da couldn't help but flick these shiny things again. He really couldn't bear to sell them...
