The weather varies from year to year, and eggs cannot be put in the same cage, so several kinds of grains have always been grown in the fields.

Tang Yu, meanwhile, took advantage of the spring to go to war on the grasslands again.

This time she defeated Budugen again until he completely submitted. After that, Tang Yu obtained a large number of oxen and also brought back a large number of warhorses.

Thus, Tang Yu finally began to build up a cavalry in Yanmen County, and a large number of oxen were brought back to help Yanmen County reclaim wasteland.

The curved plow, sowing tools, and dragon-bone waterwheel were invented long ago. We have been making farm tools ever since we brought the craftsmen here last year.

These matters were mainly managed by Xun Yu and Yuan Yue. Xun Yu was in charge of political affairs, while Yuan Yue was mainly responsible for the production of agricultural tools.

As for the more convenient spinning wheel, the pedal spinning wheel, it is of course being promoted.

Yanmen County is currently seeking stable development and does not need to wage war on all sides for the time being.

Once we've built up our strength, we can expand our territory.

Therefore, it was only after Tang Yu returned from the campaign on the grasslands that he learned about Xun You's failed assassination attempt and subsequent imprisonment.

"How about we win Gongda over?"

Tang Yu thought this was a good opportunity to save lives and then get them to do things for him.

"Gongda...Gongda..."

Zhizhi kept repeating the name, which amused Tang Yu, while Xun Yu picked up his daughter.

"Does Zhizhi also want to save her brother?"

Thinking of the age gap between Xun You and his daughter, Xun Yu's words made Tang Yu laugh again.

"Brother?"

Zhizhi tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Zhizhi, your brother has done something big. Your mother plans to go and rescue him. I'll let you see him then."

That evening, after their daughter was taken away to rest, the two lay on the bed, and Xun Yu buried his head in her warm and soft body, working hard.

"Jiaojiao...do you like it...?"

The battlefield is a crazy place, but Tang Yu is very disciplined in training her soldiers, so after a war, she is actually very restrained and suppressed.

At times like these, Tang Yu just wanted to release herself like this.

"Wenruo...I want to see you..."

Xun Yu raised his head, and Tang Yu couldn't help but roll over and pin him down, then lowered his head and ignited his passion.

The slightly stinging peck had an electric-like stimulation.

Xun Yu particularly enjoyed seeing his wife at such times, so charming and alluring, with only him in her eyes and needing only him.

The intense, lingering entanglement carries a sense of unbridled recklessness and arrogance.

Tang Yu's eyes revealed a hint of longing.

Xun Yu immediately began a deep and unrestrained kiss, and then couldn't help but whisper a seductive question in his ear.

"Jiaojiao...can you spend these next two days with me? You've been so busy these past two years."

This time, he went to fight on the grasslands and was away for more than two months, so Xun Yu really wanted to keep him occupied.

Warm breath sprayed around my ear, and my sensitive earlobe was entangled in kisses.

Tang Yu felt waves of itching and tingling throughout her body, and she couldn't stand the tantalizing intimacy any longer.

She didn't say she was leaving tomorrow. After fighting a war, shouldn't you rest for a few days?

Although we're going to Chang'an, there's no rush.

Tang Yu could only keep kissing and comforting the other person, and then gradually retreated, agreeing to some excessive demands.

Only when the person in his arms was flushed and her eyes were filled with mist did Xun Yu chuckle and speak intimately and seductively in his wife's ear.

"When Jiaojiao is not around, I can only look at her paintings and miss her. Does Jiaojiao miss me?"

Of course I miss home.

Without a support system, Tang Yu would feel very lonely, so she always wanted someone she deeply loved to be by her side.

Living a lonely life was never her wish.

"I always think about ending the war as soon as possible on the battlefield, and then going home."

"Wenruo, I'll play for you tomorrow. It's been a long time since I've touched an instrument. I'll play whatever you want to hear."

For the next three days, Tang Yu had nothing major to do.

Xun Yu had finished handling his official duties and then spent time with his wife and daughter, wanting to enjoy a family reunion.

Xun Yu jokingly remarked that Tang Yu's music was tinged with murderous intent, so Tang Yu immediately played a piece called "Ambush from Ten Sides".

"This really does exude an aura of killing intent!"

Tang Yu, holding the pipa in her hand, smiled and recounted the background of "Ambush from Ten Sides".

This is a pipa solo piece composed based on the Chu-Han Contention.

"Surrounded by enemies on all sides, it does fit the mood quite well."

The daughter standing beside him looked blank; the melody was clearly too complicated for her.

"Zhizhi, were you scared? Then I'll play a lighthearted tune."

Tang Yu didn't remember the lyrics either, but it was just the melody of a few children's songs.

Zhizhi was overjoyed when she heard this, and then clapped her hands with a smile.

"Mom, it sounds beautiful!"

Xun Yu's heart was filled with tenderness as he looked at his daughter and wife, and he couldn't help but step forward and kiss them, asking them to learn these tunes as well.

After staying at home for a few days, Tang Yu finally led ten people to Chang'an in secret, disguising themselves as a merchant caravan.

Chapter 16 Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms

Tang Yu spent money to smooth things over, then staged a fire, and poisoned someone to make them unconscious, thus bringing the person out.

After that, she also took her niece Tang Yun with her from Chang'an.

After all, Liu Bian was already dead, so what was the point of him staying in Chang'an?

"Aunt, I will not remarry, you don't need to force me."

On the way out of Chang'an, Tang Yun, who had been unconscious, woke up and said these words. Tang Yu chuckled beside her.

"I don't know how your brother taught you, he turned you into a fool."

Don't be too delusional, thinking that I want to use you for a marriage alliance, that you have great value, or that I can't live without you.

I'm only rescuing you from the vortex of Chang'an because of our blood ties.

What kind of life you want to live is your choice. Don't think too highly of yourself, nor too lowly.

There are plenty of people in this world who go hungry, while you live a life of luxury, eating and dressing well, and then you come here lamenting the passing of spring and autumn. It's an eyesore just to look at you."

After saying this, Tang Yu turned around and found Xun You standing awkwardly to the side.

"It seems Gongda has also woken up. Does he have any questions? Does he know where we are going?"

"I must be heading to Yanmen County. Thank you for saving me, Aunt."

Xun You bowed to Tang Yu. He was also quite surprised that he had already left the prison after waking up from his coma.

Moreover, it was Tang Yu who saved him.

"Afterwards, the Tang family's caravan will escort Gongda's family to Yanmen County, so Gongda can rest assured."

Xun You: Your family members have all been packed up and sent over. Isn't this a forced sale?

Tang Yu noticed the strange change in Xun You's usually calm expression and couldn't help but laugh.

"Yanmen County is in dire need of reconstruction, and Taiyuan County also needs to be governed. Gongda will have a lot to do then, and Wenruo is currently in need of help."

Xun You, who had guessed half the truth, still had one question that remained unanswered.

"Were all the wars fought against the Hu people in Yanmen Commandery commanded by your aunt?"

"I know what you're curious about, Gongda. You're wondering how someone like me could win on the battlefield, right?"

Xun You was embarrassed to admit it, but his eyes did show curiosity.

Tang Yu suddenly drew two swords from the guards beside him, then swung them through the air and slashed them directly at several trees, instantly felling several large trees not far away.

Xun You: He's too ruthless. Uncle is no ordinary person.

"Thank you for your guidance, Aunt."

Xun You was a very pragmatic person. Since things had already come to this, he wouldn't ask if there were any other options.

Instead, he was thinking about what he should do once he got to Yanmen County.

Then, upon arriving at Yanmen County, Xun You finally revealed his surprise.

Is this really the legendary bitterly cold land? Why would a city be built so well?

Houses built with bricks and tiles were everywhere, and the official road, made of some unknown material, was extremely smooth and wide.

On both sides of the field, Zhuang He saw that the crops were growing very well, and there were many crops he did not recognize. It seemed that Yanmen County would have a bumper harvest this year.

Learning how to make farmyard manure to increase grain yield is something that Yanmen County has been promoting in the past year or two.

Farmers may not be enthusiastic about learning other things, but they will definitely learn how to grow crops and increase yields with their hearts.

The weather in the north gets cold very quickly. In the past two years, we have started to study and make tools for textile wool, and in a few more years we will be able to train skilled workers.

As for cotton, the main focus now is on growing grains, and cotton is not being grown on a large scale. We can endure the cold, but we can't go hungry for long.

However, because there were many coal mines in Bingzhou, the winter was not so uncomfortable because of the heated kang (a traditional heated bed).

So this winter, what Xun You helped Xun Yu do was to promote coal on a large scale.

Specially made mud stoves, along with the fired coal briquettes (honeycomb briquettes), naturally made winter days less difficult when they were widely adopted.
