Chapter 851 Young General vs. Rich Lady 154
Hua Xi was never willing to enter the mansion without any name or status. She was just covering her body with a fig leaf. When Ji Yunhuan lifted the leaf, she felt ashamed and angry. She stamped her feet and ran out crying.
Ji Yunhuan helplessly spread his hands, "You are really not easy to tease. Little girls are just shy."
"But Master Hua is really thick-skinned. He eagerly sent his sister here. You are shameless, but Miss Hua still has some dignity. How do you expect her to get married in the future?"
Huo Xiao poured Huan'er a cup of tea and patted her hands. "Okay, don't be angry. I don't plan to take her in."
"The Hua family is the leader of the three great families, with disciples all over the world. Now that the Regent King and Gou Xun are dead, there are many vacancies in the court, and it is difficult to find anyone to replace them. As long as the Hua family does not cause trouble and is loyal to King Wei, your position will naturally be indispensable."
"But you have to know that there are more than just you in the aristocratic family. Don't do such disgusting things in the future. If it happens again, the Hua family will get out of Wangdu."
Hua Yao quickly stood up and bowed to Huo Xiao, "General, you are very broad-minded. Hua Yao thanks you. I would like to ask the general to help me with my sister's matter..."
Huo Xiao waved his hands impatiently, "I won't tell anyone, and I won't keep you here any longer. Come on, show me around!"
At the end of May, everything in Wangdu City was settled.
The sky was high and the air was fresh. King Wei was seeing off his army at the city gate.
The army set out from Wangdu and joined the 100,000-strong army that had rushed over from Pingyang City on the way. Together with the various troops recruited from all over the place, there were a total of 500,000 troops, not to mention the logistical and baggage troops that were ready to provide support at any time.
This was a crucial battle in the history of the Six Kingdoms, which laid the foundation for the unification of the world. After that, the Huo family army swept across the Central Plains, attacked the Rong Kingdom, and recovered the surrounding small countries with unstoppable momentum!
At this time, Huo Xiao sent Zhao Shan and Zhao Hai to lead troops to resist the Qi army, and still let Lu Yongxin stop the Lu army. He led a group of Huo's troops to attack the capital of Lu in the east!
The Lu army failed to break into Wangdu City and was almost attacked, so they immediately turned back. The two sides met in Luyuan Town and fought fiercely!
The State of Lu originally occupied the most fertile Lujiang Plain. Before Huo Xiao occupied Lingjiang, it had the largest land area and the largest population. The State of Lu was ambitious, and after listening to the profound speech of Master Xuan Jiu, it thought that it was the destiny, and was full of desire to annex the State of Wei and unify the Central Plains.
The most important thing is that the State of Lu has gunpowder!
Xuan Jiu is dead, but the technology of gunpowder has been passed on to the craftsmen of Lu State.
Nine out of ten houses in Luyuan Town were already empty. Those who could escape had all fled, and those who couldn't escape were captured and forced to serve as soldiers. After going to the battlefield, they never came back.
The ground was charred black, and the air was filled with black smoke mixed with the smell of burnt flesh and blood, which made people feel nauseous!
Huo Xiao narrowly won this battle and captured Luyuan Town, but the State of Lu was still recruiting soldiers, so the fight would have to continue.
The Huo family army was cleaning up the battlefield. In addition to their dead comrades, they also collected the bodies of the Lu army.
Huo Xiao held the bronze mirror and found a rare piece of flat ground to sit down.
Ji Yunhuan saw this tragedy through the bronze mirror, and guilt grew like a vine. "Huo Xiao, I wonder if I was wrong? Maybe I shouldn't have sent such a killing weapon to the six countries. I feel like I killed a lot of people!"
Now there is no need for Ji Yunhuan to deliver explosives. Wei State's Creation Department has physical research, and with the information provided by Ji Yunhuan, it is easy to make explosives, and the quality is better than that of Lu State.
If this continues, the six countries will all be able to develop explosives, and by then, who knows how many people will die. Ji Yunhuan felt very guilty.
Huo Xiao knew that the gods were soft-hearted and kind, and could not bear to see such a scene, so he advised: "But you saved more people. Without the food and weapons you sent, everyone in Pingyang City would die! Guangling City is not much better. If the Beirong people attack, they will definitely massacre."
"I remember you told me that in your history, after the Northern Rong invaded, the people of the Central Plains lived in darkness and the population plummeted. After a hundred years of chaos, they were able to drive the Northern Rong out and establish a new regime, but it was also a short-lived dynasty. With such a long period of turmoil, wouldn't more people have died?"
"Some people have indeed died, but this is also the only way to establish a new order. What we can do is to shorten this process as much as possible, finish the battle as soon as possible, and let the people recuperate."
"In fact, the focus is not on the tools, but on the people. Iron tools can be used to make swords and farm tools. Explosives can be used to kill people and build bridges and roads. We can't stop using fire because of a fire that burned people. Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"
"What you bring to this world is advanced knowledge, technology that transcends this generation. How to use it is still up to people. Don't worry, when the war is over, the gunpowder will be strictly kept."
Ji Yunhuan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, you have a point. You have to protect yourself and don't get hurt. If you are in danger, call me. If it doesn't work, I will bring you to the modern world and save you."
The fighting lasted from June to August, and the State of Lu was forced to move its capital, but it still refused to surrender, and the stalemate remained.
The mountainous area of Qi State is rugged. It formed an alliance with Lu State, but refused to surrender. There were no major wars, but small wars broke out from time to time, and the Central Plains was still in turmoil.
The State of Shu had already surrendered to the State of Wei, but the States of Song and Lu had always been on good terms with the State of Lu. Although they had not declared war, they often caused trouble for the State of Wei.
Ji Yunhuan's belly was already showing, and Huo Xiao was so happy when he knew that Ji Yunhuan was pregnant, but he had been fighting and couldn't get away. Now that the situation was at a stalemate, he had a few days of free time.
At the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ji Yunhuan took the time to get his marriage certificate.
She found a way to get Huo Xiao a foreign Chinese identity, and now that they are married, he is registered in her household registration. Huo Xiao is finally no longer an illegal resident!
Ji Yunhuan posted on her Moments and Weibo, and the entire internet was filled with congratulations. Some sharp-eyed netizens even discovered that Ji Yunhuan was pregnant, and Ji Yunhuan did not deny it.
An Tong called and said unhappily, "You are so sudden! Huo Xiao is handsome, but he is too young and doesn't seem to have a sense of responsibility. I accompanied you to your last prenatal checkup. What the hell! Isn't it better to let the father die and keep the son? It's not like we can't afford to raise him."
Huo Xiao was listening nearby. He sat on the sofa holding Ji Yunhuan in his arms and half-squatted beside her, feeling extremely guilty.
Ji Yunhuan pinched his face and said with a smile: "Oh, he is really busy, it's not intentional. He can accompany me on the next maternity leave."
"Come on! What could be so busy? I just realized that Vincent is also very busy, but he is always around me, always there for me. I thought he was a male model!"
An Tong advised earnestly: "I tell you, it's okay to date, but you must be cautious about getting married. He may say he's busy, but you don't know what bad things he might do behind your back. You can't always keep an eye on him, so you'd better be careful."
Ji Yunhuan knew that An Tong was concerned about him, and the smile on his face became even more intense. "Don't worry, I'm watching him. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep, so he has no time to do bad things."
"Are you free tonight? Come to my house and I'll show you something good. You'll know once you see it."
