Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

After arranging for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to stay, Liu Jue originally wanted to order the two of them as military advisors, but what he didn't expect was that these two people refused together.

Pang Tongzheng said: "The young general's kindness, Kong Ming and I are very moved! But there is no merit, and the two of us have not made an inch, if we take the post of military advisor at this time, I am afraid that we will not be able to convince the public." "

Zhuge Liang also said: "It's better to wait for us to defeat Cao Jun and establish meritorious deeds, and the position of military advisor can be regarded as justifiable." "

Liu Jue also felt that it made sense, so he agreed to the request of the two.

It can be seen from this that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both arrogant people.

But this kind of arrogance is not the kind of arrogance that looks down on people, but a kind of extreme self-confidence.

Whatever position I want to sit in, I have to fight for it by my own ability, not by the charity of others.

At this time, Lu Su came from Jiangdong again, and learned that Liu Jue was now in Chaisang, so he immediately brought someone to ask for a meeting.

This time, Lu Su came over, and also brought 100,000 stone of grain that Liu Jue wanted, as well as a hundred skilled blacksmiths, and dozens of big ships were mighty, all of which stopped outside Pengze City.

Liu Jue entertained Lu Su very politely and ordered Gan Ning to receive grain and craftsmen.

At the same time, according to the agreement, Zhou Yu's mother and two sons were handed over to Lu Su together.

After Lu Su left, Liu Jue remembered Xiao Qiao and the Qin family again, but now there are a lot of things, and he has no time to care about these two women for the time being.

Considering that he was about to face Wancheng Cao Jun, Liu Jue had to make all preparations, so he thought of one thing, that is, gunpowder, one of the four great inventions.

It is not clear when black powder was born.

However, as early as the late Tang Dynasty, gunpowder began to be used in the military, and it was greatly developed in the Song Dynasty.

With gunpowder, firearms can be made, and in the face of Cao Jun, Liu Jue has the certainty of victory.

And black powder is not difficult, anyone who studied chemistry in middle school knows that as long as you get the raw materials.

Liu Jue immediately called his subordinates and ordered them to get some saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, and then searched for a long time in the system store, and finally took a fancy to a soil mine that was simple to make and could be made by hand.

When Liu Jue finished telling the matter and returned to his residence, he saw a maid waiting outside the door, and as soon as he saw him, he immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, something has happened, and that Mrs. Qin hanged herself." "

"Hanging?".

Liu Jue was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this is the meaning of hanging himself, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked: "What the hell is going on, hurry up and take me over!"

"Yes!" the maid explained the situation to Liu Jue while leading the way.

It turned out that after Zhou Yu's mother and son were picked up, the Qin family seemed to have suffered a great blow, and they didn't eat much for two days, and the whole person became in a trance.

Today, the maid in the house saw that the Qin family had been locked in her room and didn't come out at noon, so she pushed the door in and took a look.

As a result, I saw Qin hanging herself on the beam of the house, and the maid was also so frightened that she fainted on the spot.

After Liu Jue heard this, he not only smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect this Qin family's suicide.

But if you think about it, it's not incomprehensible, this captive woman was full of expectations that Zhou Yu would come to pick her up, but the result was that her mother and son were picked up, and she didn't care about her as a wife.

No one can accept it.

Liu Jue quickly remembered Xiao Qiao, and hurriedly asked, "How is that Mrs. Qiao?"

The maid replied, "After Madame Qiao learned that Madame Qin hanged herself, she also fainted, and we have already called the doctor, but now we have woken up." "

Liu Jue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, didn't ask any more questions, and immediately followed the maid to a wide courtyard.

Zhou Yu's family was placed here by Liu Jue before, and someone was sent to take care of the Yan family.

There were other maids waiting here, and when they saw Liu Jue coming, they immediately knelt on the ground in panic, obviously very afraid that Liu Jue would blame them.

"Get up!" Liu Jue didn't have the heart to blame these maids, and immediately asked, "Where is that Mrs. Qin now?"

A maid trembled and said, "My lord, it's in the house." "

This room is where the Qin family lives, Liu Jue immediately walked in, and saw the bed in the bedroom, where the Qin family was lying quietly.

Liu Jue was now accustomed to seeing dead people, so he immediately walked over and saw Qin's eyes closed tightly and his face like ashes.

Liu Jue reached out and touched it, and found that the person had become cold, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for this woman.

"You go and have someone prepare a coffin, find a place with good feng shui, and bury this Mrs. Qin. Liu Jue shook his head and instructed the maid on the side.

"Wow!" the surrounding maids replied in unison.

Liu Jue remembered Xiao Qiao, didn't stay here long, and turned around and went to Xiao Qiao's house.

As soon as he entered the room, Liu Jue saw a maid standing by the bed, and it was Xiao Qiao lying on the bed.

Xiao Qiao is still very beautiful now, but compared with Liu Jue when she first saw her, Xiao Qiao's face at this time was pale, she looked very haggard, and her eyes were a little less bright.

Seeing Liu Jue coming, Xiao Qiao sat up stiffly, and said a little weakly: "Xiao Qiao has seen an adult!"

"You're like this, let's lie down first. Liu Jue frowned and asked, "How is your health?"

"It's fine. Little Qiao smiled miserably, but still sat against the bed.

Seeing Xiao Qiao's appearance, Liu Jue didn't know what to say, and he was a little responsible when it came to it, but if Zhou Yu didn't come to attack him, he might not capture Chaisang.

In the final analysis, it's because of this chaotic world.

Liu Jue looked at Xiao Qiao, thought for a while and said, "Now that the Qin family is dead, if you want to seek death, I won't stop you." But don't worry, I'll take good care of your daughter. "

Lu Su picked up Zhou Yu's mother and two sons, but did not pick up his daughter.

In ancient times, the preference for sons over daughters was far more serious than later generations imagined.

Thinking of her daughter, Xiao Qiao's expression was a little moved, compared with the Qin family, she was relatively lucky, at least she had her daughter by her side.

If the Qin family had even one son by her side, she probably wouldn't seek death.

At this time, a maid walked in with a bowl of medicine and said respectfully to Liu Jue: "My lord, the medicine is ready." "

Liu Jue saw that Xiao Qiao was weak, thought for a while, took the bowl of medicine, and said to Xiao Qiao: "The way you look now, I'm afraid you can't lift your arms, so let me feed you the medicine." "

Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Jue, nodded and said, "Thank you, adult." "
