A peaceful life is like a running deer, coming and going quickly. The four years of Jian'an are rare leisure and stability for Gao Chong. After spending the four years of unstoppable war, Gao Chong, who is physically and mentally exhausted, needs the most a care and warmth.

Yangzhou Mu -, is such a noble title too extravagant for Gao Chong, who was only twenty-two years old? When the corrupt and corrupt old people who lived in Xudu cast doubtful eyes to the south, all the people of Jiangdong couldn't help but burst into tears, because they had really felt the favor given by Gao Chong.

The investment in the excavation of ponds and dams last winter finally received several times in the second year. Piling, Wuxing, Wucheng, Qiantang and other places, which were once severely flooded, all had a good harvest. Although the military farming policy has four or six official cattle and five private cattle share system can only maintain the food and clothing of the people, this is enough to satisfy the people, because compared with the constant wars in the north, Jiangdong has at least a way to live.

The recovery of agriculture brought about the prosperity of merchant transactions and markets. In early February, in order to further communicate the navigation of the river between Moling and Taihu Lake, Lusu recruited 50,000 people to dig an artificial river channel called "Pogangdu" in the Piling area. This river channel originated from the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River flowing through Moling, and finally in the west city of Yunyang, fourteen dam gates were built along the coast to regulate the water volume and facilitate ship navigation.

With the opening of Pogangdu, from Moling to Wujun, Kuaiji or further south, there is no need to detour Guazhou Ferry, you can go directly by boat. At the same time, the properties in Wujun, Kuaiji and Jianxing can also be transported to Moling from the Taihu waterway, and then transported to the north. No one will ignore such a profitable transaction. Gradually, shops emerged near each dam gate in Pogangdu, and then spontaneously formed markets.

Merchants always have an innate sense of keen smell. They can usually feel at the first time where the place is the most worthwhile place and the most dangerous place. When the Central Plains was in chaos, Jiangdong under Gao Chong brought them business opportunities to make money.

However, when other princes strictly prevented merchants from entering and leaving the territory in other places, Jiangdong under Gao Chong was an exception.

The Cao clan of Xudu, Mi clan of Xuzhou, Cai clan of Jingzhou, Tian clan of Jizhou, Wu clan of Bashu, and Ma clan of Xiliang, all sent people to the south to a greater or lesser extent. Their purposes were different. Some were simply for money, some were to test the reality of Jiangdong for the dependent forces, and some were also tasked with spying on military intelligence.

Gao Chong was not surprised by their attempts, but on the contrary, he knew it clearly because he knew that since the day he took over Jiangdong, his every move would be paid attention to.

The sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance is great.

If you don’t have a broad mind, Jiangdong will be just a stagnant pool of Jiangdong. Even if you can be prosperous for a while, you will inevitably be eliminated.

Only by allowing the scholars of the world to submit like stars and moon can Jiangdong have the opportunity to show their great achievements. Such opportunities are not lost in the world, but are created by oneself.

One of the reasons why Gao Chong wanted to open up the trade route was that merchants traveled around the world and could learn first-hand information from them. If they could identify it a little, they could analyze the movements of various princes. The second reason was that Jiangdong lacked horses, iron tools and other essential materials for combat. When Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao were all storing these combat supplies, these things could only be obtained through transactions.

Therefore, in October, Yangzhou's rule changed from the depression at the beginning of the year, and it was showing a vibrant and prosperous scene. In addition to the people of Jiangdong, there were also everyone in Gao Chong's mansion.

Ten months pregnant, one day giving birth.

Happiness and pain come at this moment.

After a long and patient wait, Da Qiao's labor period finally arrived.

Gao Chong rubbed his hands and walked back and forth in the yard with a restless expression. His eyes were occasionally casting towards the closed door. There was no movement inside except for a maid who brought in one or two dishes of clear water.

Suddenly, a painful and terrifying cry came from the room. This was Da Qiao's helpless cry. Gao Chong heard it in his ears and pain in his heart, but he was powerless.

It is a man’s duty to go into battle to kill the enemy and protect his wife and children.

But men can't help with the matter of having a dead daughter.

"Ah—!" Da Qiao's shouts came more and more quickly. The pain during childbirth made her unable to help but tear the brocade quilt stuffed in her mouth.

Gao Chong was anxious and stepped up the steps. The door of the room was carried up inside and could not be pushed open. Gao Chong had to lie on the edge of the window and peek inside with difficulty.

"Don't look, this woman has a child, it's unlucky!" A witch with wide arms and round waist came out of it with blood. When she saw Gao Chong, she pulled it away and shouted fiercely.

In the face of Gao Chong's status, no one dared to speak like this to him for a long time. This witch was the first. With her fearless insistence, Gao Chong had to smile helplessly and retreat to wait for the result. People have strengths and weaknesses. Just like Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo are good at medical skills, this witch is good at inheriting the family line. In this regard, she does have the capital of being arrogant.

The same witch doctors are of the same clan, and they are inseparable from the two in the era of ignorance. The origin of many taboos is also based on a belief that people have formed over a long time. This belief is rooted in the hearts of people. Even if they lose their lives, they cannot be separated from their hearts. This is why the witches are not afraid of high favors.

"Let's go to the front yard to wait! Sister Lu is inside, I believe Ayu will be safe." Hearing the movement, Musha stepped out of the room and walked up to Gao Chong and said.

Looking at the concern that appeared on Gao Chong's face, Musha, who had always been cheerful, couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy in her heart. She gently placed her slender hand on her abdomen and sighed slightly.

Gao Chong came to the front yard with some regret and desolation, where there were lights and colorful decorations, and he was full of joy, just waiting for the arrival of a little life.

Just as Gao Chong was waiting for it, near dusk, a crisp cry came from the backyard. Then, a maid stumbled over and shouted when she saw someone: "The second wife is born, she is born--!"

Gao Chong jumped up, grabbed the maid's shoulder with both hands, and asked anxiously: "Is this true?"

The maid was so painful that her face turned pale when she was caught by Gao Chong. She could not speak for a moment. After a long time, she stammered: "The second wife has given birth to a daughter!"

Qianjin - Although Gao Chong has a little regret, he is a brother who fights and a father and son fights. If Da Qiao gives birth to a boy, he can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy and gallop on the battlefield.

In the room, Da Qiao was lying quietly on the bed, her face full of fatigue. At this time, she was sleeping heavily. The process of childbirth almost exhausted all her energy.

Gao Chong's little baby was lying quietly beside Da Qiao's pillow. A few strands of hair were soft, black, and wet on the tender skin. On the small face that was broken in a blink of an eyebrow, there were two shallow curved eyebrows and a pair of flexible and cute big eyes.

"Good daughter, do you look more like me, or..." Gao Chong couldn't help but smile. When he picked up the baby, the feeling of becoming a father came to his heart, Gao Chong had already thrown away the trace of his original regret.

This joy that emerged from his heart made him unable to contain it. At this time, Gao Chong no longer cared about whether Da Qiao gave birth to a boy or a girl. In his heart, as long as it was his own blood, it was a treasure, whether it was a man or a woman.

"If a girl looks like you, it would be difficult to marry!" Musha said coquettishly.

"I want me to see, these eyebrows and eyes are like a little beauty. I wonder how many men will be confused in the future!" Lu Ti washed away the blood on her hands, turned around and said to Gao Chong intentionally or unintentionally.

Like Musa, Lu Ti's mood was very complicated. Although she was already in love with Gao Chong, the day of the Ming media's marriage was scheduled for next month, but compared with Da Qiao, she was still one step later. Compared to knowing Gao Chong, Lu Ti was the first Gao Chong to meet, but the creation was a mess. Unexpectedly, now she became the last one.

"Set up a banquet——I want to invite all the officials to celebrate her birth!" Gao Chong raised the child in the brocade and gently put it down. Then he bent down and poked his tender little face.

"Wow—!" The hard beard hurt the baby's cheeks, and she couldn't help crying.

Lu Ti, who was beside him, gave Gao Chong a blank look, snatched the child, and leaned tightly on her chest. She said angrily: "Is the baby tying my beard, do you know?"

Lu Ti, who had always been gentle, seemed to be fierce at this time, and did not take Gao Chong seriously at all. Gao Chong looked at Lu Ti blankly, a little surprised by her instant expression. At this time, Mu Sha also cast a resistant look at him. The newborn baby awakened Lu Ti, Mu Sha's motherhood. Under the strong impulse of care, Gao Chong had to slowly withdraw from the room helplessly. At this time, all he did was to go to the front yard to obediently call the congratulatory guests who came to congratulate him.

"It's really a headache to have too many women!" Gao Chong shook his head and muttered to himself.

Not long before predictable, as Lu Ti entered the door, Gao Chong would face the bombardment of four women, which was really a very tiring task for him.

On October 12, the fourth year of Jian'an, Gao Chong invited all the civil and military officials from Jiangdong to his daughter's birth in Moling. Such a scene was only held for boys in the past, and Gao Chong set a precedent this time.

On the table, the rewards were intertwined, and laughter was filled with joy.

During the banquet, Zhang Zhao twisted his gray beard and muttered a lyric: "The Book of Songs says: It's as bright as the breeze, as vivid as the moon. The handsome man was born in October. It was the time when the autumn was clear and the air was cool. The girl's name should be the word "Jiao", and the name of the boudoir corresponds to: Qingyue."

Just now, Gao Chong asked him to name his first child. Zhang Zhao thought about it again and again, so he named it with the words "Jiao" and "Qingyue". Jiao means white, and Qingyue adds more nobleness.

Gao Chong raised his glass and laughed, saying, "Zibu knows the best in Jiangdong, and this name is very suitable for me."

From the first moment I saw my daughter, Gao Chong had a strong feeling that her daughter was used for care, not for insignificant accessories.

Qingyue Wuchen——— My Gao Chong’s daughter should be able to admire this name.

The joy of Jiangdong ended in the Huai River. Just when Gao Chong was happy about his first daughter, the Central Plains was filled with swords and swords. I don’t know how many innocent people died in the war.

The world is vast, and swords and blood dominate the laws of life and death.

When the last bit of the fig leaf of the man was torn off ruthlessly, only the strong laughed unscrupulously in the world.

Although the court established with Cao Cao's support has been four years, its majesty has not become extremely glorious with Cao Cao's successive military victory. On the contrary, it has been declining increasingly.

At this time, the situation of the princes fighting for hegemony had reached its most critical moment. In the past ten months, the general trend of the world can be said to have changed suddenly. In March and April, Yuan Shao finally successfully captured Yijing and Gongsun Zan was defeated. At this point, Yuan Shao had Qing, Ji, You and four states, with more than 100,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 elite cavalry. His strength was the first of all princes. Even Cao Cao, who was commanding the emperor to command the princes, was far inferior.

However, Cao Cao was not idle during this period. In order to restrain the enemy Yuan Shao, in February, he first appointed the prefect of Yuyang Xian Yufu as the general in the name of the court and supervised the six counties of Youzhou. In April of Xia, he used Shi Huan and Cao Ren as the vanguard and killed Yu Gu in Quancheng. Later, he advanced to order Zhang Yang, the former chief of the Shi Yang, Xue Hong, and the prefect of Henoi Miao Shang surrendered, and Wei Zong as the prefect of Henoi, which was under the jurisdiction of Hebei to consolidate the northwest border.

In August of the autumn, after learning that Yuan Shao had planned a southern expedition, Cao Cao personally led his troops to cross the Yellow River again, and took the initiative to seize the important town of Liyang in Jizhou. He also ordered Zang Ba to conquer Qi, Beihai, Dong'an and other places in Qingzhou to consolidate the eastern wings. He also sent his general Yu Jin and Liu Yan to lead troops to Yanjin and Baima to block Yuan Shao's army from the south. In September, Cao Cao returned to Xudu and deployed heavy troops to Guandu to defend Xudu. At this point, a situation of confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was formed, and a war might be about to break out at any time.

The first to ignite this fuse was Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou who occupied Xuzhou.
