After returning from the palace, the New Year will soon come.
However, the closer we get to the end of the year, the colder the weather becomes, the snow falls heavily, and the snow covers the entire land, leaving a vast expanse of white everywhere.
This year's weather is colder than before, and the snowstorm is more severe.
However, the number of disasters is much less than in the past. The most important thing is that the disaster relief is timely, and the disaster relief methods and materials are fully prepared and done well.
In the past few years, Cao Cao has accumulated a lot of experience in disaster relief.
There is also Chen Zhou's heater, cotton and other assistance. There is no shortage of food now, and there is also no shortage of things to keep out the cold. Cao Cao's development is on track, and the problems caused by the disaster will not be big.
These developments have a lot to do with Chen Zhou. It is basically through his promotion that the current gains have been achieved, but Chen Zhou has basically never dealt with disasters personally.
As a person who just wants to be in peace, Cao Cao usually won't ask Chen Zhou to work unless he wants to take credit or there is some major matter that needs to be discussed.
Chen Zhou lay down at home, with nothing else to do except take care of the baby.
Jing'er can walk and jump around.
The newly born little Hui'er was doted on by Chen Zhou alone. He had to hold her for eight of the twelve hours a day. Seeing this, Liu Ling couldn't help complaining: "Husband, if you dote on me like this, sooner or later you will Hui'er is spoiled."
Chen Zhou said nonchalantly: "Children cannot be spoiled, but daughters should be pampered."
Liu Ling said: "My husband can pamper Jing'er."
Chen Zhou touched little Jing'er's head and said with a smile: "No need to pamper my son. If there is still a need to fight in more than ten years, I will put Jing'er in the army. The boy will have to go to the battlefield several times. After training, he can Be on your own and mature.”
Cao Shan agreed with this and echoed: "My husband is right. In the past, my eldest brother often followed my father to fight in wars. In recent years, my eldest brother has matured a lot. When my father went to war, he left his eldest brother in Xudu." Affairs.”
Anyway, on the battlefield, there are plenty of people to protect you.
Nothing will happen, they can rest assured.
"Jing'er is still young."
Lu Lingqi also touched Jing'er's little head and said with a smile: "It's too early for you to think about Jing'er going to the battlefield so soon. But it doesn't matter. In two years, when Jing'er has strength, I will teach Jing'er how to shoot. You don’t have to be like your husband, who doesn’t even have the strength to fight.”
Mentioning this, Chen Zhou thought that he was just a scumbag with no fighting ability, so of course he didn't care.
When the ladies heard this, they couldn't help laughing together.
Jing'er seemed to understand something, blinking her big eyes, looking at Lu Lingqi happily, and raising her hands, wanting Lu Lingqi to hug her.
Lu Lingqi saw that Jing'er was so sensible, so she picked up this brat and took the young apprentice in advance.
You must know that her marksmanship is inherited from Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is not only good at using halberds, he is also good at using guns. He is just better at halberds and generally doesn't use guns much.
In addition, Lu Bu's archery skills are not bad either.
Shooting a halberd at the gate not only amazed Liu Bei, but also surprised Yuan Shu at that time.
As Lu Bu's daughter, although Lu Lingqi is not very strong, she has also learned a lot of Lu Bu's skills, and it is most suitable to teach Jing'er.
Chen Zhou and Cao Shan finalized this matter.
Time flies by again, and it’s New Year’s Eve.
Chen Zhou has brought many new things to the New Year in this era. New Year's Eve in the Chen family is more colorful and lively, and those small activities make them refreshing.
The house is lively and bustling, and this is the atmosphere of the New Year.
——
Same New Year's Eve.
Lingling, one of the four counties in Jingnan, is where all the prefects of the four counties are located.
The initiator was Liu Du, the governor of Lingling, mainly to discuss matters related to Liu Bei.
Today Liu Bei occupies Jingzhou.
The nine counties of Jingxiang and the five counties of northern Jing are all under the control of Liu Bei. The four counties of southern Jing are currently apparently dependent on Liu Bei. In fact, they have different ideas and have their own agendas, waiting to see the situation.
Submitting to Liu Bei is just superficial.
Secretly, there is still a heart that wants to resist.
They can be the governor of a county. They are not stupid people. They will not understand that Liu Bei can be the shepherd of Jingzhou and what tricks he used behind the scenes to get that position through abnormal means.
They were quite disdainful of this.
So I thought, since Liu Bei can do it, they can do it too.
The four prefects of Jingnan, including Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, and Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, all came to Liu Du's home.
The four of them gathered together. This scene was very rare.
"Liu Mingfu, what do you think?"
Zhao Fan said first.
Liu Du said: "Lingling is the closest place to the west of the Xiangjiang River. Although I surrender to Liu Bei on the surface, I definitely do not surrender sincerely. The main reason is that Lingling is too close to Jiangling, so I have to pretend to obey. With my own strength, I can go far away." He is no match for Liu Bei."
With this, he expressed his shortcomings and said: "Don't think that with me, Lingling, you can be safe and sound. If Lingling is gone, Wuling, Guiyang and Changsha may all change hands. Jing." The four southern counties are relatively far away from Xiangyang. We used to be Liu Shijun's people. Although we are now subordinate to Liu Bei, he may not trust us. After all, they are too far away and he has no interaction with us."
Liu Du used this as a reason to persuade the other three prefects to come to Lingling for discussion.
You must know that Liu Bei's method of seizing Jingbei was relatively ruthless. He first eliminated Cai Mao, and then poisoned the two brothers Liu Qi and Liu Cong.
The four counties in Jingnan are not under Liu Bei's absolute control. He must be worried that he will not be able to control them in the future, and he may use ruthless means to rob them.
They think too much and are prone to rebellion.
Han Xuan, the governor of Changsha, said: "That's why I came here at your invitation. We can submit to Liu Bei, but we will never hand over our military power. But if we don't hand over our military power, Liu Bei will not trust us and will definitely deal with us. If If you hand over military power, you may die faster."
This is an endless cycle, and they are very worried.
Jin Xuan asked: "In other words, we can only resist together, otherwise... disaster will happen!"
"It's definitely going to be a disaster!"
Zhao Fan affirmed: "Liu Bei will fight Cao Cao next. Before the fight, the unstable factors in the rear must be stabilized, and the military power in our hands is the only uncertain factor for Liu Bei."
As soon as this statement came out, the other three people all agreed.
The issue of confrontation between Jingnan and Jingbei, if you look into it deeply, is very tit for tat, and sooner or later there will be a battle.
"But, I don't plan to take the initiative."
Liu Du was the first to say: "We will continue to support our troops in Jingnan and submit to Liu Bei openly. When Liu Bei is not satisfied with the status quo, he will definitely find a way to take it by force. However, Liu Bei doesn't know that the four of us have formed an alliance. If He has come with his troops, and the four of us will attack at the same time to make sure he never comes back!"
