"Little Binghe?" Cai Yan frowned slightly, puzzled, and had a little childlike curiosity on his face. Zhou Yu turned his head and looked at her, and was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything. Cai Yan smiled with his lips, held his arm, and leaned on his shoulder. "What is Little Binghe?"

Zhou Yu suddenly realized, took back his mind, stroked Cai Yan's arm, and told him the story of Sun Ce's convincing Liu Pi, Gong Du and others going south. After so many years, he always thought that Sun Ce was lying to Liu Pi and Gong Du, but now he believed Sun Ce a little. From the heavy snow in front of him, he thought of the heavy snow that Yuan An was trapped, and then the cold in the army, it seemed that he was verifying what Sun Ce said.

After hearing this, Cai Yan pondered for a moment and sighed softly. "What kind of person is General Sun?"

"You believe this statement, too?"

"From the historical events I know, this statement may be a fact. There are twelve hours of Zi, Wu, Yin and Mao in a day, and spring, summer, autumn and winter in a year. How can I know that there is no cycle of cold and warm in thousands of years? The five elements of heaven and earth are repeated over and over again. This can also be deduced. It is just that a hundred years of life are too short, just like summer insects that cannot speak ice, which is difficult to understand. Classics are our memories, but this memory..."

Cai Yan closed his mouth and said nothing more. He just turned his head to look at Cai Yong's study, thinking in his heart. Sun Ce asked Cai Yong to write history, would he hope that Cai Yong would discover this rule that spans thousands of years and ten thousand years, not just the achievements of kings, princes, generals and ministers? If so, then what Cai Yong did now would be far from being qualified.

Zhou Yu looked down at Cai Yan. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think General Sun is too profound and has surprising words and deeds from time to time. Husband, what else have you heard? Let's hear it."

Zhou Yu thought about it carefully, but found that although he had been with Sun Ce for a long time, Sun Ce's outrageous remarks were after the visit to Lu Kang. Soon after, they came to Xiangyang, and later they led their troops to fight and were far away.

"I know very little, and... he is quite disrespectful to the Confucian school. Do you really want to hear it?"

Cai Yan smiled. "What's wrong with listening, but you're a little less voice, don't be heard by those two." As he said that, he raised his chin and signaled Zhou Yu to pay attention to the two old men in the study. Zhou Yu understood, lowered his head and kissed Cai Yan's forehead. "Then I'll put it in your ear."

Cai Yan was caught off guard, angry with Zhou Yu, and then smiled again. "All of them are generals, and they are not calm."

"You don't understand this. Bo Fu once said that it is the most boring thing to hold a couple together. At that time, they were like childhood sweethearts, and they were young and had no guesses. Only when they had a childish heart could they blend together, and their souls depended on each other, and they would become a lifelong good..."

"Well, as of this, isn't this world only monogamous and can't take concubines? With his pampering for Madams, wouldn't it..." Cai Yan felt that he was speechless and hurriedly covered his mouth, but could not hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, and then looked at his stomach again. Zhou Yu saw clearly, and looked down Cai Yan's lower abdomen, as if it was slightly raised, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Zhao Ji, you... have it?"

"I have it." Cai Yan gently stroked her stomach. "Last time I came back, you said I was not good because of him."

"Haha..." Zhou Yu broke free from Cai Yan's arm, knelt on the ground with one leg, hugged Cai Yan's waist, pressed his ear to her abdomen and listened. He soon heard two heartbeats, one of which was Cai Yan, and the other of which was naturally fetal, strong and powerful, as if it was clearer than Cai Yan's heartbeat. He was excited. "My son is so strong, and this "The Greatest Taoist Talk of the World" is really a magical art..."

Cai Yan's face was flushed, and he reached out to cover Zhou Yu's mouth and pulled him up. Zhou Yu giggled foolishly and bowed repeatedly. "Thank you, madam, I finally have a son."

"Who said it must be a son? Maybe it was a daughter." Cai Yan's clear face turned red like peach blossoms, and his eyes were slightly slight. "Why, do you only like your son?"

"No, no, no..." Zhou Yu shook his hand quickly. "Whether your daughter or your daughter, if it is a daughter, you will definitely be as smart as you. But... I feel uncomfortable when I think of such a good daughter marrying someone else, so it's better for my son."

Cai Yan couldn't help laughing out loud and pointed Zhou Yu's forehead. "You think far." Zhou Yu also laughed, leaned into Cai Yan's ear and said a few more words.

The study door creaked open. Cai Yong held the door and looked at his daughter and son-in-law with an unhappy look. Cai Yan quickly stopped his smile, hid behind Zhou Yu, and muttered in a low voice: "It's all your fault."

Zhou Yu bowed to Cai Yong seriously. Cai Yong waved his hand and signaled them to go in and talk. Zhou Yu helped Cai Yan into the house, and warmth came to his face. Cai Yan's face turned redder and he lowered his head embarrassedly. Cai Yong glared at them, but fortunately Zhao Wen was still sad and did not notice the strangeness of the young couple.

"Gongjin, it took two heavy snow in Guanzhong to start winter, and the people were frozen and hungry. The court made every effort to rescue the disaster, and the income was not enough. The treasury was empty and food was urgently needed. Can you..." Cai Yong did not continue, but just looked at Zhou Yu with a gaze.

Zhou Yu suddenly understood. Zhao Wen might have the purpose of spying on the situation in his camp, but the main purpose was to look at the grain reserves. He was preparing to attack Hanzhong. Although it might not be possible in the end, the preparations in all aspects were based on actual combat. Five hundred thousand stones were prepared in military ration alone, which was almost half of the harvest of Nanyang this autumn. This was military ration, and even he could not use it for other purposes without authorization. Zhao Wen probably knew this, so he did not speak up, but just invited him to see Cai Yong and asked Cai Yong to plead for love.

Zhou Yu was considering how to refuse, Zhao Wen stood up from the table, sorted out his clothes, gave Zhou Yu a big gift, and crawled on the ground.

"Please save the people of Guanzhong."

Zhou Yu was shocked and hurriedly avoided the seat and gave a greeting. "Mr. Zhao, how can you make this happen? You are not..."

Zhao Wen begged: "General, I have walked all the way from Guanzhong. Wuguan is completely different inside and outside, just like two heavens and earths. Although Wuguan Commander Xu Shu made every effort to ask for help, all the people who can enter the pass can be resettled, but he is responsible for defending the territory and cannot go deep into Guanzhong. I was forced to make this decision because of my helplessness. I also asked the general to help him for the sake of the innocent people."

Zhou Yu was in a dilemma. He could not allocate grain without authorization, nor could he not save him, especially when he saw Zhao Wen bowing in front of him. Just when he was in a dilemma, Cai Yan said: "Don't make things difficult for Gongjin. Military rations cannot be moved casually. Gongjin was entrusted by General Sun to guard Jingzhou, and he could not do such a thing, otherwise how can he be worthy of General Sun's trust?"

"Zhao Ji..." Cai Yong and Zhao Wen said at the same time.

Cai Yan raised his hand. "Mr. Zhao, father, don't worry, just sit down first and listen to me."

Cai Yong believed in his daughter very much, so he pulled Zhao Wen up and asked him to take his seat, and urged Cai Yan to say it quickly. Cai Yan said that military rations cannot be moved casually. This is the military rule and there is no need to discuss it anymore. But in addition to military rations, there is still a lot of surplus grain in Nanyang. Sun Ce cherishes the people and implements a policy of light renting and taxes. He rents 30 yuan and collects one yuan in the land. Most of the people have surplus grains. Now they can earn money by working in workshops, or by transportation and working as servants. Most of them have more money on their hands and do not need to sell the grains, but if the price is high enough, they are still willing to sell them.

Therefore, they could buy a batch of grain through private sale and buy, and send it to Guanzhong first to solve the urgent problem. Zhao Wen himself rushed to Jiangdong to meet Sun Ce. If he could quickly reach an agreement and use Sun Ce's love for the people, he would not refuse to transport grain to save people. As long as he had an order, Zhou Yu could justify the military rations.

Zhao Wen was a little hesitant. "General Sun... can do this?"

Cai Yan said seriously: "Don't forget that General Sun had sent 300,000 stones of grain to Guanzhong last year, but it was during the severe epidemic in Yuzhou. General Sun may not have much respect for the court, but his goodness to the people is obvious to all. Duke Zhao had traveled in Yuzhou and Jingzhou, so he should have heard of it."

Zhao Wen's face was red and a little embarrassed. He could hear Cai Yan's accusations, but he was speechless. First, he went to Zhou Yu and the idea of ​​taking Zhou Yu's military rations was indeed inappropriate, even if he was for the people of Guanzhong. Second, as Cai Yan said, he still had some prejudice against Sun Ce. If not, he shouldn't have turned to Xiangyang, but went down the river and rushed to Jiangdong as fast as possible and asked Sun Ce for help. If so, he might have arrived in Jiangdong now.

"Uh, Brother Bo Ji, look..."

"I think it's possible." Cai Yong stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

Cai Yan said again: "Duke Zhao, Yan is not talented, so he wants to say a few more words."

"Zhao Ji, you said."

"Since it's snowing heavily in Xiangyang and Guanzhong has even become a snow disaster, the situation in Hebei may be worse. General Sun has always had contact with Youzhou. If Youzhou is also suffering from snow disaster, they will ask General Sun for help as quickly as possible. Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou in the Central Plains are no exception. Although General Sun has achieved success in military farming, his food is limited after all. If you go slowly, even General Sun may be powerless even if he wants to help you."

When Zhao Wen heard this, Ru Meng woke up and slapped his forehead in annoyance. "I am so old and clever, but I almost missed the big thing." He bowed quickly. "Brother Bo Yi, I will entrust you to the Nanyang affairs. I will set off to Jiangdong now to pay homage to General Sun. Can you... prepare a book for me and tell me about the secretary's affairs?"

Cai Yong agreed immediately, turned around and asked someone to prepare paper and pen, and Cai Yan stopped him in time.

"Duke Zhao, you go to see General Sun, and it is not beautiful to add anything to it. General Sun is saving the people, not saving the court. If you use the secretary as a condition, he will make him threaten. He gives food and the court gets its name, which is probably not OK. If I guess correctly, he will probably save the people just like last year, and not the court, and even a grain of grain cannot fall into the hands of the court. When you meet General Sun, it is best not to mention the court, otherwise it may be possible to backfire."
