Time flies, winter comes in a blink of an eye, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
By the end of November, the weather in Lujiang County was already very cold. However, the current situation in Lujiang County is not affected by the weather. The people have enough food and clothing and are living a good life. After all, this year is a good harvest year.
Lu Xuan arranged for Zhang Zhao and Yan Xiang to work together to resettle and absorb as many refugees as possible after the cold winter came. Only in this way can Lu Xuan absorb more people.
In Lu Xuan's backyard, there are Da Qiao, Mi Huan and Cao Xian, and the three of them get along well so far.
Da Qiao is the head wife and the eldest sister. She is fair and just and treats everyone equally. Moreover, Da Qiao has a very gentle temperament, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, yet dexterous and principled. Among Mi Huan and Cao Xian, Da Qiao has a good sense of proportion.
On this day, Lu Xuan packed his luggage and prepared to take Zhou Tai and Lu Meng to leave Shu County and go to Xiangyang for a banquet.
Lujiang County's government affairs are led by Zhang Zhao, Yan Xiang, Zhao Gui, Li Qian and others. Lu Xuan is not worried. In terms of military affairs, with Zhou Yu in charge, there was no need for Lu Xuan to worry.
In the backyard, Lu Xuan and Da Qiao were talking.
Lu Xuan looked at Da Qiao's pregnant belly and warned: "I'm going to Xiangyang this time, and I won't come back until spring next year. During this period, you have to pay attention to your body. It's cold now, so you need to keep warm. "
Da Qiao has been pregnant for about half a year and has become a bit plump. She also wears thick clothes and looks richer.
She listened to Lu Xuan's careless concern, with a happy smile on her face, and said: "Don't worry, husband, I will pay attention to it. But husband, you should pay attention to safety when you are outside. Although I am going to Xiangyang to attend a banquet, not to go there." Fighting is also dangerous."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is no danger."
Da Qiao nodded and replied: "Why haven't Sister Mi and Sister Cao come yet? I specially notified them to come. My plan is to select one of them to follow my husband to Xiangyang to take care of them." Husband’s daily life. How you choose depends on your husband’s plans.”
Lu Xuandao: "Look at them."
Da Qiao smiled softly and said: "My husband looked at their choices, and I thought it might be Sister Mi. Sister Cao does not fight or rob her, she has a quiet temperament, and her character has always been calm. Sister Mi is more lively and more proactive."
Lu Xuan nodded.
He agreed with Da Qiao's analysis.
The two were chatting, and after a while, Mi Huan and Cao Xian came together, with faint smiles on their faces.
Mi Huan is even colder, and there is charm in the coldness. Cao Xian is more tranquil, and there is a hint of passion in the tranquility. The two women have their own styles.
Mi Huan and Cao Xian came over and bowed.
Da Qiao took the words and said with a smile: "I am talking to my husband. This time my husband is going to Xiangyang. Let's see who among you is willing to accompany your husband to Xiangyang. When you are away, you still need someone to take care of your husband."
"I can not."
Mi Huan and Cao Xian answered in unison.
The two of them talked and looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Da Qiao also looked over, but neither of them went.
what happened?
Lu Xuan was also surprised. He was surprised by the two people's answers. His eyes fell on Mi Huan and asked, "What's going on? Why don't you go? Huan'er, what's going on with you?"
Of the two girls, Cao Xian is the one who doesn't fight over each other, but Mi Huan should take the initiative.
I didn’t expect it, so I didn’t even go.
Mi Huan smiled sweetly, and a smile appeared on her cold face, and said: "Husband, I felt a little uncomfortable this morning. I went to the doctor for a diagnosis and said that I was just pregnant. Now that I am pregnant, I cannot travel long distances. , so I cannot accompany my husband to Xiangyang. I actually really want to go, but I have no choice."
Lu Xuan looked at Cao Xian, with a look of astonishment in his eyes, and asked, "Xian'er, are you the same?"
Cao Xian pursed his lips, chuckled and nodded.
Her delicate and quiet face showed a bright smile, which looked warm and sunny. She said with a smile: "Husband, I was also feeling a little uncomfortable this morning. The nanny looked at the symptoms and said she might be pregnant, so she asked the doctor to make a diagnosis. Sure enough, pregnant."
"You, you..."
Lu Xuan was a little helpless.
This is a good thing.
The problem is, he actually thinks about the warm fragrance of nephrite and the company of beautiful women. It would be great to have someone to accompany him to Xiangyang.
I didn't expect that I was pregnant.
Now that Da Qiao, Mi Huan and Cao Xian are all pregnant, he has no choice but to go alone.
Lu Xuan thought about it in the blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you are all pregnant, take care of yourselves at home, I will go by myself."
Da Qiao said: "Husband, please be safe."
Cao Xian and Mi Huan also spoke separately, asking Lu Xuan to pay attention to safety.
Lu Xuan said goodbye to the three girls, and went to see Lu Kang again. After saying goodbye to Lu Kang, he took Zhou Tai, Lu Meng and other guards on the road to Xiangyang. But just when Lu Xuan and his men were out of the south gate, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Zhou Tai reported: "Lord, someone is looking for you."
Lu Xuan lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked up, and saw a beautiful and colorful figure in the cold wind, coming into his eyes.
It was Xiao Qiao.
She wore a black robe and a fur cloak, and her beautiful figure was completely wrapped in the cloak.
Lu Xuan laughed and asked, "Xiao Qiao, why are you here?"
When Xiao Qiao saw Lu Xuan, he also smiled and quickly boarded the carriage. She was a little surprised when she saw that the carriage was empty, and asked: "Brother-in-law is going to Xiangyang, where are the sisters from the Mi family and the Cao family? Why didn't they come with him?"
Lu Xuan said: "Your sister from the Mi family and sister from the Cao family are both pregnant. Now there are three pregnant women in the house, so I can only go alone."
When Xiao Qiao heard this, he laughed heartily.
The eyebrows are curved, like the moon hanging in the sky, especially beautiful. A pair of eyes showed surprise and joy. She learned that Lu Xuan was leaving for Xiangyang, and thought that her sister was pregnant, so it was impossible to go. But when the sisters from the Mi family and Cao family went, she followed them.
Anyway, now that we are familiar with each other, we don’t care about anything.
Unexpectedly, she was the only one to go.
This is great.
This is a God-given opportunity.
Xiao Qiao said: "Brother-in-law, you must not do anything bad on the way to Xiangyang."
Lu Xuan's eyes were full of aggression and he said: "When the little white rabbit comes in front of the big bad wolf, tell me, what will be the result?"
Xiao Qiao glanced at Lu Xuan angrily, snorted, raised his head slightly, looking arrogant and ignoring Lu Xuan.
Wheels! Wheels!
The wheels of the carriage turned and continued south.
Lu Xuan went to Xiangyang, not to the west, because to the west of Lujiang County is the Dabie Mountains, which is the barrier and defense line to the west of Lujiang County. If Lu Xuan wants to go to Jingzhou, he has to go south to the west of the Yangtze River. After entering Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, you will then enter the tributary of the Han River from the Yangtze River area in Jiangxia County and take a boat directly to Xiangyang.
Lu Xuan went south very quickly. It took him less than three days to take the ferry and take a boat into the western area of the Yangtze River.
Everything went smoothly during the boat trip in Lujiang County, and the wind direction was just right. In just two days, the big ship Lu Xuan was on left the border of Lujiang River and entered Jiangxia County in Jingzhou.
Entering the water checkpoint of Jiangxia County by water, he encountered soldiers arranged by Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia. After revealing his identity, Lu Xuan successfully entered Jiangxia County, and then diverted to the Han River. In less than three days, he left Jiangxia County and entered Xiangyang. South County.
Lu Xuan went all the way north, getting closer and closer to Xiangyang.
When Lu Xuan was walking north along the Han River and was about to approach the southern border of Xiangyang, a large ship was floating on the Han River at the southern border of Xiangyang.
On the big ship, a big flag roared, with the word "gan" embroidered on it. On the deck of the big ship, stood a young man twenty years away, wearing splendid clothes.
This man is Gan Ning.
He has a strong build, a strong back and a strong waist, with a big bow hanging on his waist, bird feathers on his head, and a bell on his body, making him look rough and bold.
"Boss, we just came out of Yizhou and were originally going to defect to Liu Biao. You heard about a man named Lu Xuan, so you insisted on taking us to defect to Lu Xuan. We have been waiting for several days, but no one has been seen. Listen. It is said that Lu Xuan is just a prefect, and it is not cost-effective for the good Liu Biao not to defect to a prefect."
A brother spoke.
Gan Ning's eyes were bright and he said: "We came to Jingzhou because Liu Yan died just now. Liu Zhang is a loser and cannot succeed. If we want to oppose Liu Zhang and are defeated, we can only come to Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao."
"But Liu Biao is as old as the deceased Liu Yan. Liu Biao's son is almost the same as Liu Zhang."
"Lu Xuan is different. He is very young, and I heard that Lu Xuan is good at leading troops in battles. He even defeated Yuan Shu. This man is very powerful. So, why not give it a try? Let's wait here until Lu Xuan comes. I’m going to meet him.”
"It is said that a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and my golden sail is smooth and peaceful. Even if I am such a good bird, how can I do nothing?"
Everyone was silent.
Gan Ning's hundreds of brothers were all brought by Gan Ning from Yizhou. They were all Gan Ning's confidants, and they naturally followed Gan Ning's arrangements.
"Boss, a ship is coming. On the other side's big ship, I saw a big flag with the sign "land".
Suddenly, some Jinfan soldiers shouted loudly.
After Gan Ning heard this, he immediately became energetic. He looked over attentively and saw a large ship in the distance.
"Quick, come closer."
Gan Ning excitedly ordered.
The big ship immediately moved forward and quickly sailed in the direction of Lu Xuan's big ship.
