One hundred and forty-four homecoming
The heavy snow fell like crazy, to celebrate this last good year, right? It was a bit difficult for the Central Plains region. After all, there were signs of famine, and the situation of chaos and soldiers occurred from time to time. Not to mention that the 194th year was really the last peaceful year, and there was no such a large period of peace since 194th. There will be wars between the north and the south, so Liu He also needs to rush back soon. He has one year to prepare and will participate in the world's share of spoils after a year...
The heavy snow fell. No one tidied up Liu He's armor this time. The snowflakes in the sky fell little by little. Liu He reached out to take some. A gust of north wind blew and had already dissipated before it even fell into his hands. Liu He did not wear armor this time, so there was no danger. Putting on his wool cloak, it was really warmer this time.
The horses and troops outside the city were ready, and Liu He also started to get on the horse one after another. Xian Yufu suddenly felt a little lonely. To be honest, Liu He was quite approachable and had a little bit of nagging. The main reason was that he knew a lot of things, and he was quite interesting every day. When this person suddenly left, he felt very lively and almost interesting. He was quite reluctant for a while...
"My lord must be careful when he goes back. The weather turns cool, the wind and snow are all the way... I must protect my lord Zhou Quan." Said it was to Liu He, who was facing Xu Huang, Guo Huai and others. There were too few generals around Liu He, and it would be great if there were a little more.
Liu He shook his clothes in his cloak: "Did you see... Governor Xianyu have this time to go back to the city, and the army is ready to set off..." Liu He waved his hand and headed straight ahead, his carriage was still in front. It must be difficult to walk the way. It was snowing heavily and light rain fell from time to time, so it was particularly difficult to walk on the road. While it was still early, I still need to hurry up today.
The heavy snow fell leisurely, and when I went back, the wind did not blow directly. It felt quite relaxed to walk, and the convoy also walked much easier. But as I walked, I felt something was wrong, and then the wind blew from the front. The winter wind seemed to be able to blow to his side no matter where. For a moment, Liu He was a little depressed, and could go inside through his neck no matter what...
I brought a lot of things when I came, and when I went back, I brought a little something. If there are any specialties on the grassland... there are any specialties that Liu He thinks are worth bringing back, I am really embarrassed. At least, what Liu He wants to bring some things, but this era has not yet discovered.
Apart from some wine, buckwheat and other things, Liu He didn't know what it was. However, buckwheat can be made into tea, which makes it particularly fragrant. This seems to be very different from the traditional sweet and slightly bitter tea. However, this fragrance is indeed very good. Secondly, yellow buckwheat also has certain benefits for the human body. However, this thing is not grown in modern times and is produced at will in the wild.
"The lord got in the car." Xu Huang chased after him.
Liu He was thinking that he would not be able to make sense if he went back without bringing some good things. Looking at the bag of bitter buckwheat, he sighed: "Okay..."
In late November and early December, Liu He came back from Pianguan. There was basically nothing except five thousand horses. Most of the things were left in Pianguan. Overall, when they returned, they were even more stingy than when they came back. However, for many people, five thousand war horses were made a lot of money. Horses were very valuable in ancient times, especially for this era. As for women who followed the caravan slowly, they didn't want to follow them anyway.
Liu He was not in a mood for the following days, and he hid in the carriage and stopped every day. The weather was getting worse and worse, sleet or heavy snow. This time he left, it was January, and he was about to come to Yangqu. Liu He happened to replenish supplies here, and by the way, he met Cheng Xu, and he also needed to know about recent things. On the days of the narrow gate, he was like a blind man and didn't know any news.
In addition to Yangqu, Guo Huai also returned home. Although there was no fight along the way, Liu He's series of methods really stunned him. This meeting was too long for him. No matter how the city was arranged, or whether it was to treat foreigners and their own people, he learned too much.
"My lord is in Yangqu..." Guo Huai rode his horse to Liu He's carriage. Everyone felt very uncomfortable after walking along the way. Looking at Liu He, I don't know how much weight has been lost.
Liu He poked his head out. He was probably a person who didn't want to lose weight but forced himself to lose weight by carriage. He was originally dry and thin, but now he seems to be even thinner. I don't know how many people envy this in the future, but unfortunately there are not many obese people in this era.
Cheng Xu at the city gate was also out in the distance, and the north wind blew. After turning over and getting out of the carriage, Liu He walked directly towards the city gate: "Ziran... I can never go to the north again. It was only October when I went there, and it was already snowing heavily. Now I have finally come back, and the journey is even more difficult..." Liu He really wanted to complain, who knew that he would encounter such bad weather?
Cheng Xu watched Liu He jump down. Although he was wrapped in a wool cloak, he was still much thinner. Cheng Xu glanced for a few seconds and said, "Why can't the lord take a maid along the way? He can't eat well or sleep well, so he can't serve him?" In this era of marching and fighting, it is indeed not surprising to have a maid. Especially for people like Liu He, if they are ordinary generals, it may not work.
Liu He rolled his eyes: "Let's talk about it later..."
"The lord is so thin and looks weak. If he is sick, what if... how can he explain to the master in the future?" The ancients' emphasis on future generations was completely incomprehensible to Liu He, a modern person. Especially those with a status like Liu He, would interfere. They would never think that Liu He was looking for a group of women, but instead thought that this was a good thing. As long as they were not addicted to it, there would be no problem.
Liu He rolled his eyes and was too lazy to continue saying: "I will consider this in the future." Can you bring your own cook or train one by yourself?
As they spoke, everyone also entered the city, and it became much better to enter the city. After a few steps of movement, they became much more energetic: "What news has Ziran recently been in the north... What are the movements in the south?"
After saying this, Cheng Xu hurriedly said, "My lord will talk about it when he returns to the house. In short, there will be no problem in the north for the time being..."
This made Liu He think about it. It seemed that things in the north should not be serious. As the time of speaking, everyone entered the city, and the food in the house came up. After so many days, Liu He finally had a decent stir-fry, and everyone who sat down one after another could not control it for a while. It was really uncomfortable to live these days, but after one experience, it would be much better next time. The weather in ancient times was quite different from those in later generations, and Liu He was too confident.
"The lord Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan started the war around late November, and fought for about half a month. In the early stage, Gongsun Zan suppressed Yuan Shao to fight. When the city was about to break through, Yan Rou and Sima and Lu Bu in the rear suddenly met, and then burned Gongsun Zan's grain storage area. After that... something interesting came." Cheng Xu was a little happy to say this.
Liu He rolled his eyes. Who did you learn this bad habit? It was definitely not himself? He took a sip of tea and ate a sip of vegetable Cheng Xu and continued: "What's interesting is that Liu Bei took the initiative to attack, and used the traitor to open the city in Qinghe Kingdom to deceive Yuan Shang to attack at night. Later... it led to Yuan Shang being ambushed in the city and was captured by Liu Bei alive."
"At this point, Gongsun Zan was burned for more than a year, but he captured Yuan Shao's third son. Although Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, his troops were greatly damaged, and secondly, there was not enough food. What's more excessive is that Lu Bu, who instigated soldiers to rob him every day, made Yuan Shao unlucky. Now Lu Bu is stationed in Qinghe Kingdom to prevent Liu Bei, but Gongsun Zan is suppressing Yuan Shao's son..." Cheng Xu said here, and Yuan Shao felt bitter.
He took the initiative to welcome Lu Bu, and now he is probably depressed by what Lu Bu did. Liu He knew that Lu Bu was really not very good. His personality was even more out of the way. No one would use such talents in this era. Boss Cao dared not use them, let alone Liu He.
Xu Huang was a little speechless: "The lord is so busy in the north, so Gongsun Zan is so..." Gongsun Zan is really strong, but the time is too short to solve the surrounding problems as soon as possible. Of course, the alien race has never attacked, and he himself is in a hurry to destroy Yuan Shao.
Liu He shook his head and said, "In fact, Gongsun Zan's defeat is not these external factors, but because of his own problems. He is an absolute general, and it is no problem for you to lead his troops to fight a war. But to be a higher position, as a hero, it is much worse. So he loses because he is not good at layout and does not have a more comprehensive mind." Liu He thinks that everyone must have his own position, but some people just can't recognize themselves.
The simplest thing is to say, Lu Bu is the one who can do it for him to the emperor? I am afraid that the ending will not be extremely miserable. Too many people are just ambitious, but they do not deserve the ability to be ambitious. Then Lu Bu's final ending is even more miserable. His wife and daughter were taken away, and he was also cut off.
"What the lord said was in time. After Gongsun Zan returned, he hurried to Jixian and refused to go back. He tried his best to guard against Yuan Shao. But..." Cheng Xu glanced at Liu He, which was a little difficult to say.
Liu He smiled and said, "Ziran, just say..."
"It's just that those alien races who originally surrendered to the master have now surrendered to Yuan Shao, especially Yan Rou, who has brought a lot of alien races to directly join Yuan Shao's account. These people... are really..." Cheng Xu was a little angry for a moment.
