In the north of Jiankang City, the most prosperous imperial street at the end of the Imperial City is a large mansion with two alleys. The tall gate tower reads a few gilded characters "The General's Mansion of the Cavalry". Looking at the font, it should be Chen Shubao's ink treasure, which shows that the owner of this family must be deeply favored by the dragon.

During the Zhenming year, there was only one general of the cavalry in Chen State, namely Xiao Moha.

Xiao Mohe was known for his bravery and fought everywhere for the Chen Dynasty, with great military achievements. In the 14th year of Taijian, Chen Shubao assisted Chen Shubao ascended the throne, and was granted the title of Duke of Suijian County for his merits, with 3,000 households in the town. Chen Shubao also rewarded all of them to Xiao Mohe. Soon, he was appointed as the General of the Cavalry, and was appointed as the Left Guanglu Dafu. He specially granted Xiao Mohe a Huangge Yi Tong and the Three Divisions, the door was used to carry out horses, and the listening hall was placed in the throne tail. The military and political power was extremely honorable and favored.

Chen Shubao favored and valued Xiao Mohe so much, and in addition to repaying him for saving his life, it was more because Xiao Mohe was loyal and righteous, and was the only life-restrained minister who designated to protect Chen Shubao before Emperor Xuan of Chen's death. Therefore, Chen Shubao trusted him very much, and reused him was naturally no problem.

Xiao Maha has made great achievements in his career, but he is in a mess in family affairs and owes debts that he will never be able to repay.

In the study, Xiao Moha secretly enshrines the tablet of his ex-wife Zhang Yuhua here with his wife Liu on her back.

When there was no one, Xiao Moha would quietly tell Zhang Yuhua's tablets the words that had been hidden deep in his heart for years.

"Yuhuawu, please help us to bless our children with peace and safety if you know you are in the fountain! I know you must still blame me. But you have to believe me, I have a last resort to doing this. Everything I do is actually for you and the children. But you went to Huangquan Road early without waiting for me to explain it clearly to you. But don't worry, when I raise our children, I will go to Huangquan Road to find you. Yuhuawu, remember that you must walk slowly on Huangquan Road and wait for your husband to find you. We will be husband and wife in the next life!"

A man doesn’t cry easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad place.

Zhang Yuhua's death made Xiao Mohe fall into great sorrow and regret. Whenever he thinks of this, the man who is so fierce that he can't help but shed tears of sadness.

Maybe he does have unspeakable difficulties in his heart!

But Zhang Yuhua has passed away, and who can he complain to? There is no chance to explain. He can only be buried in his heart forever and bear it silently by himself.

Suddenly, the door of the study was knocked open, and a little boy in brocade clothes rushed into the study with a laugh.

On weekdays, there are soldiers guards at the entrance of the study, but today Xiao Mohe wants to say something to his deceased wife, so he removed all the guards and then broke in.

However, most people dare not break into Xiao Moha's study. The little boy is Xiao Ping, whose courtesy name is Shiluo. He is five years old this year and is born to Xiao Moha's current wife Liu. Just now, Xiao Ping played hide-and-seek with a few maids, but unexpectedly got here by accident.

Xiao Mohe came back to his senses from the grief of missing his deceased wife, quickly wiped off his tears, hid the tablet under his sleeve, and then turned around.

Originally, Xiao Mohe loved Xiao Ping's son very much, but in recent times, Xiao Mohe's attitude towards Xiao Ping has changed drastically. Every time he sees Xiao Ping, Xiao Mohe's heart is always in a stateless fire. If it were on weekdays, Xiao Mohe could still hold it back because of his wife Liu. But today Xiao Mohe had just paid homage to his deceased wife and had nowhere to vent her depression, but at this time she could no longer hold it back.

"A bastard! Who asked you to come in!"

Xiao Ping had never seen his father get so angry, and he was at a loss on the spot.

"Why are you standing there? Get out of here right away!"

Xiao Moha's roar was rising and falling, and Xiao Ping was so scared that he cried endlessly.

Then the maids who chased after him hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow and begged for mercy, and were scolded by Xiao Mohe and others.

Shangguan Wudi forced Xiao Yi to return to the General's Mansion but failed, and stayed near Yuhua Xiaoxie for a few days. However, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yi were prepared for a long time. Shangguan Wudi tried several times but failed, but was beaten by Xiao Jing.

It’s not that Shangguan Wudi can’t beat Xiao Jing. Shangguan Wudi’s martial arts are actually several times higher than Xiao Jing, but Xiao Jing is Xiao Mohe’s daughter after all, so Shangguan Wudi dares to fight back. But Xiao Jing hated Xiao Mohe so much, and even hated his generals. Shangguan Wudi suffered a lot, and eventually returned with a bruised and swollen face.

At the gate of the General's Mansion, Shangguan Wudi met Liu Shijing, the chief official of the General's Mansion who had returned from work abroad.

Compared with Shangguan Wudi's tough image, Liu Shijing is a gentle and gentle scholar. If Shangguan Wudi is a brave general who is the best in the three armies, then Liu Shijing is the military advisor who is good at planning. As Xiao Moha's right-hand man, they are naturally familiar with each other.

Seeing Shangguan Wudi's embarrassing appearance, Liu Shijing was very surprised and asked him about the reason. Only then did he realize that he was beaten by Xiao Jing and laughed out loud.

The two of them had not seen each other for many days, so they walked and said as they walked outside the study. When they happened to meet Xiao Mohe and several maids, they were furious.

Seeing that it was Liu Shijing and Shangguan Wudi coming, Xiao Mohe knew that there was something important to deal with, so he let a few maids go and asked him to take Xiao Ping away, and scolded him again.

Seeing Xiao Ping crying and being taken away by the maids, Shangguan Wudi was surprised and asked Liu Shijing next to him quietly.

"Could it be that the matter was verified?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't!"

Liu Shijing glared at Shangguan Wudi angrily and went into the study first. Although he did not give a positive answer, Shangguan Wudi already understood everything, so he couldn't help but sigh, and then entered the study.

The maid brewed tea and stepped down. Only Xiao Moha, Liu Shijing and Shangguan Wudi were left in the study.

Shangguan Wudi is an impatient person and should apologize to Xiao Mahe first.

"Report to the lord, my subordinates are incompetent and cannot bring back the lord. Please forgive me!"

Xiao Mohe glanced at Shangguan Wudi, and saw that he had returned with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and he knew it in his heart. He must have not brought Xiao Yi back, but was beaten by Xiao Jing. He knew his daughter very well, and his temper was exactly the same as her mother. He was willful and simply disregarded his relatives.

"It's outrageous! Jing'er is not at all responsible, and she's a little too cruel! Zhongde, how are your injuries? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to show you?"

Shangguan Wudi hurriedly thanked: "If you are a little skin injury, it won't bother the lord! Zhongde thanked the lord for the care!"

Xiao Moha nodded, so he turned to Liu Shijing.

"Zi Jing just came back from the border and came to me without resting for a while. I guess there must be something important to report."

"What the lord said is extremely true!"

Liu Shijing said with a heavy expression on his face and worriedly: "I have inspected the border these days and found that the Sui army was building large-scale warships near Badong in Xiliang. Looking at the number of wood chips floating down the Shun River, it is estimated that the warships have been built no less than a thousand."

Xiao Mohe thought about it in his mind and said, "My navy warship size is more than 4,000, and the navy is well-trained. It is estimated that the Sui army's thousand warships are not our opponents."

Liu Shijing said: "Although the Sui army's boat division is not a rival to our army for the time being, at this speed, it will gain the upper hand in three years. The Sui army will move eastward along the Yangtze River and occupy a good area, so our army will be very passive at that time."

Xiao Mohe thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Zijing, I will report this matter to the emperor and prepare early!"

Shangguan Wudi remembered the conversation with Xiao Yi at this time, and suddenly wanted to show off in front of Xiao Mohe and Liu Shijing, so he told Xiao Yi's conclusion on the current situation to both of them.

When Shangguan Wudi said this, Xiao Mohe and Liu Shijing were shocked and both looked at Shangguan Wudi in a daze.

"I-I'm just talking casually." Shangguan Wudi was stared at by the two of them and felt uncomfortable all over. He thought he had said the wrong thing, but he regretted that he must have been fooled by Xiao Yi. However, he didn't know that the impression he gave on people was just a powerful general who charged into battle. If it comes to strategy, it was not at all. Therefore, he suddenly said such profound military means, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Liu Shijing immediately smiled and said, "Otherwise! Every sentence Zhongde said just now is well versed in the art of military strategy. I admire it! I admire it!"

Seeing that Liu Shijing had praised Shangguan Wudi, Xiao Mohe immediately laughed and said, "If the scholars have not seen each other for three days, they should look at each other with admiration. Zhongde is now brave and resourceful, which is really gratifying."

Xiao Mohe and Liu Shijing used tea instead of wine, so they had to pay homage to Shangguan Wudi.

Although Shangguan Wudi was very eager to have the style of a brave and scheming general one day, God gave him the reputation of being the best in the three armies, but he could not achieve the ability to plan like Liu Shijing. Shangguan Wudi was born to be confused when he saw books on military strategy, so he was destined to be inferior to others in strategy.

Shangguan Wudi sighed in his heart. He naturally would not take it for himself. He smiled and said, "I'm not hiding it. How could Zhongde have such strategic insights? It was just used by the young master to teach Zhongde a lesson, but he didn't expect that he, a three-year-old child, would have such insights. Zhongde was really ashamed."

Xiao Mohe and Liu Shijing looked at each other, and all showed unbelievable expressions.

So, Shangguan Wudi told the two of them the whole story. When he was hit by Xiao Yi's trick, Shangguan Wudi's dark and thick skin turned out to be like a monkey's butt, so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed.

When Xiao Mohe and Liu Shijing heard the whole story, they were surprised by Xiao Yi's wit and strategy, but they could only laugh at Shangguan Wudi's experience.

"The young master is only three years old, but his intelligence and strategy are better than ordinary people. Even Zijing is very impressed. Congratulations to the lord, this son will be more intelligent than Zijing in the future."

"The tiger father has no dog son! Zhongde also congratulates the lord for having a tiger son!"

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Moha laughed loudly, his tiger eyes shining with joy. He has never been so happy since Zhang Yuhua passed away. He really doesn't know what to say at this moment. Because no words can describe Xiao Moha's mood at this moment.

The three of them drank a cup of tea instead of wine. But Xiao Maha was so happy that the tea was not satisfied at all. He immediately asked his servants to send delicious wine and delicacies, and the three of them celebrated in the study.

When the wine was over, Shangguan Wudi mentioned: "You basically don't remember anything before the age of four. The lord should take the young master back as soon as possible. After a long time, the lord may get apart from him."

Xiao Maha sighed: "Every time I think of Yuhua, I don't have the face to step into the Yuhua Pavilion for half a step!"

Liu Shijing persuaded: "Everything that the lord does is for the safety of his wife. As long as the truth is told to the eldest lady, I believe that the lord will understand his hard work."

Xiao Mohe waved his hand and refused, "No! Jing'er's temper is the same as her mother. If she knows the truth, she must poke a hole in the sky!"

Shangguan Wudi suddenly said, "Then just poke a hole!"

Liu Shijing didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Moha's expression.

Xiao Maha was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and stood up and said, "Let's go here today. I'm going to go into the palace to discuss strategies to fight the enemy with the emperor. You are all tired, so go back and rest first."

Seeing Xiao Mohe avoiding this, Liu Shijing shook her head and sighed, with a look of disappointment.

Shangguan Wudi was still waiting to persuade him, but when he saw Liu Shijing shook his head at him, he sighed helplessly and gave up.

Xiao Mohe went to Yunxiang Palace to meet Chen Shubao, while Liu Shijing pulled Shangguan Wudi to the street to find a tavern.

"Why didn't Zi Jing Gang let me persuade my lord? The lord has been bullied so much that you actually stand by and watch?"

In the private room, Shangguan Wudi looked displeased and couldn't help but ask questions as soon as he sat down.

Liu Shijing poured wine for Shangguan Wudi slowly and had a drink with him first.

After three cups, Liu Shijing was already a little drunk.

Shangguan Wudi looked at Liu Shijing with some surprise. Liu Shijing usually doesn’t drink any wine, but she didn’t expect that she would drink three drinks in a row without saying a word today.

"Zijing, may you have something to worry about?"

Liu Shijing asked back, "Can you still not know my concern?"

Although Shangguan Wudi guessed it, he deliberately pretended not to know it and smiled and said, "You are as good as Zhuge, how can I know what you think?"

Liu Shijing poured wine himself, and was about to drink it and was held down by Shangguan Wudi and snatched it away.

"You don't know how to drink! I'll drink it!"

Shangguan Wudi drank it all in one go. Liu Shijing glanced at him, but then drank a glass of wine again and continued.

He is drinking to relieve his sorrows.

Seeing that Liu Shijing insisted on doing this, Shangguan Wudi simply accompanied him to have a drink.

Soon, the two of them had already drunk too much.

Shangguan Wudi couldn't help but say first: "What is this world! The lord made great contributions to the Great Chen Kingdom's expedition and confrontation, but in the end he would be sent by the emperor to monitor him every day. It would be fine if he just monitored the lord. As the emperor, he was thinking about being a mischievous wife and daughter all day long. You must know that the lord is his life-saving benefactor Chen Shubao, how could he do such shameless things to his lord? He lost even the most basic trust in being a human being. It's really ridiculous!"

Shangguan Wudi became more and more angry as he spoke. Finally, he called Chen Shubao his name, which shows how angry he was at Chen Shubao.

Liu Shijing snorted coldly: "Under the instigation of Jiang and Kong, Chen Shubao actually learned Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms. If he had Cao Mengde's three-point ability, he would be able to rest assured the world, but he only learned Cao Mengde's bad habit of being a lewd wife and daughter. Chen State is over, but unfortunately his lord can't make up his mind until now."
