Chen Zhou continued to go south with the army, facing the wind and snow back.
This weather is very cold.
Chen Zhou was worried that Zhen Mi, who was following him back, would be cold, so he often hugged Zhen Mi on the carriage and used his own body temperature to warm Zhen Mi. The effect was very good. Not long after, Zhen Mi blushed from the heat. He would also take the initiative to crawl into Chen Zhou's arms.
In this case, Chen Zhou was also very helpful and continued to hug Zhen Mi and provide her with a steady stream of warmth.
When they returned to Yecheng, they stopped temporarily and went into the city to rest.
"Sir, we're here!"
Dian Wei's voice came from outside the carriage.
Chen Zhou coughed lightly and then got up in Zhen Mi's warmth. He got out of the car first and then helped Zhen Mi down from outside.
At this time, Zhen Mi's face was red. Chen Zhou knew that it must have been warmed by her own warmth.
"Is it almost spring?"
Chen Zhou raised his head and glanced at the snowflakes falling outside. It seemed that there were not as many snowflakes as before. The temperature was not that low compared to the previous two days. It may also be because of the temperature gradually decreasing from north to south.
Cao Peng walked over and said, "Sir, in two days it will be New Year."
"It will be New Year soon."
Chen Zhou frowned after hearing this, and then lamented that he still couldn't go back and see his child before the New Year.
But it doesn't matter, we have arrived at Yecheng, and we just have to cross the Yellow River when we go back.
After entering the city, Cao Peng immediately arranged a room for Chen Zhou to rest. There was also a stove lit here to warm the two of them.
"Not long after the Chinese New Year, spring will begin and the weather will get warmer. It's a good time to go back!"
Chen Zhou said to himself.
Coming back from Liaodong, it was ice and snow all the way, the road was difficult to walk, and it took a long time. When we returned to Yecheng, it took almost two months. The walking speed was quite fast, which was what Cao Cao wanted. Going back to see my grandson, I had to speed up.
However, no matter how fast the speed is, it is limited in the ice and snow.
Zhen Mi asked: "Sir, are you in a hurry to go back?"
"I told you not to call me sir, call me husband."
Chen Zhou solemnly corrected Zhen Mi's title to him, and then said: "We will get married when we get back."
In the carriage, while keeping each other warm.
Chen Zhou already had a comprehensive understanding of Zhen Mi's figure, except for the wedding ceremony, but Zhen Mi was still too shy to say the word "husband", but the relationship between the two of them was getting closer and closer. good.
Zhen Mi was completely attracted by Chen Zhou's handsome appearance.
"Husband!"
Zhen Mi asked softly: "Why are you so anxious to go back to see your sister's son?"
Chen Zhou said: "I feel I have wronged them by not being here, so I have to go back as soon as possible."
Zhen Mi was a little nervous when she thought about returning to Xudu, and asked: "Sister, will they be very fierce?"
Chen Zhou patted his heart and assured: "Definitely not, they are all very nice people. You will know when you go back. Don't worry!"
"good!"
Zhen Mi said softly.
As she said this, she felt that a charcoal stove for heating was not enough, so she continued to keep warm in Chen Zhou's arms.
"gentlemen!"
Dian Wei's voice came from outside.
Zhen Mi was afraid that Dian Wei would break in and be seen, so she quickly jumped out of Chen Zhou's arms and stood aside with her face flushed.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Zhou asked.
"My lord is looking for you, saying there is something urgent."
Dian Wei said.
In a hurry?
The four northern states were all defeated by Cao Cao. At this time, what else is urgent?
Chen Zhou knew that things that needed to be discussed by himself were not always easy, so he immediately followed Dian Wei and soon found Cao Cao's location. Guo Jia and the others were there.
"Watari is here, take a look at this information."
Cao Cao first sent a piece of information to Chen Zhou.
Opening it and looking at it, Chen Zhou frowned.
What is described above is exactly what happened in Xiangyang.
At this time, Liu Biao was dead, and his son Liu Qi took power and liquidated all Cai Mao's forces. Liu Bei was supporting Liu Qi from behind, but according to careful investigation, Liu Bei still wanted to evade Liu Qi.
This information shocked him.
Normally speaking, Liu Biao died of illness after Cao Cao officially attacked Jingzhou.
According to the intelligence, he was killed by Cai Mao.
Chen Zhou and the others couldn't find out the specific details. They only knew that Liu Biao was dead, so Liu Bei had to evade Liu Qi in Xiangyang. The occurrence of these things was completely different from what Chen Zhou knew, including Zhuge Liang being taken away by Liu Bei in advance.
These are all different.
So what will be the situation in the south next? Chen Zhou wonders if he can't predict it?
However, Chen Zhou soon did not take these seriously. He promised to help Cao Cao capture the north. Now he has done it. The south cannot predict the comprehensive situation, and the problem is not big. Besides, his arrival has changed It is normal for so many things to change Liu Bei's life trajectory.
"What do you think of Watanabe?"
Cao Cao asked.
This information amazed him. He didn't expect the big-eared thief to be so clever.
Chen Zhou said: "Unexpectedly, Liu Bei definitely has expert help around him."
Cao Cao asked: "Is it the Zhuge Liang that Duzhi asked Zixiu and the others to capture before going to battle?"
It must be Zhuge Liang!
Chen Zhou knew that if Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, earth-shaking changes would occur.
For example, what is happening in Xiangyang now.
Unexpected by all of them.
"That's right!"
Chen Zhou nodded and said: "The master beside Liu Bei is Zhuge Liang. I never expected this to happen."
Xun You sighed: "Du Zhi said a long time ago that Liu Bei is the lord's great enemy!"
Now it seems that this enemy is real.
Liu Bei is in Xiangyang and is a threat to Yingchuan.
"Then our next step is to fight Liu Bei directly?"
Chen Qun asked.
Chen Zhou thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about this later. With Liu Bei's ability and Zhuge Liang's assistance, his development will definitely not be slow. However, compared with us, he is still relatively weak. If we want to fight, our military strength and combat power will not be slow." It’s not a problem.”
"The problem is, terrain, climate, etc."
Guo Jia understood Chen Zhou's concerns and said: "Jingzhou has a dense network of rivers and is blocked by the Yangtze River. Most of our army are northerners who are not good at water warfare. The dense river network and swampy environment are not suitable for cavalry." Impacts, etc., it’s easy to get acclimated from north to south, right?”
"Of course!"
Chen Zhou nodded.
Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi was due to many factors, the most important of which were the climate and terrain. It was not easy to fight from the north to the south, and many things needed to be adapted again.
Chen Zhou never thought that Liu Bei would develop so fast and reach this level, and nothing was ready yet.
Facing Liu Bei now, he was not as thoroughly prepared as before fighting Yuan Shao.
This time, I made a mistake!
This is the disadvantage of changing history and being unable to predict future events.
Chen Zhou added: "It's actually too early to say this now! After we go back, we will collect the most comprehensive intelligence and make arrangements! We are not afraid of Liu Bei, but there are too many restrictions in the south. If we are not fully prepared, we will be easily defeated! "
