Chapter 990: Meeting in Mianchi (Part 2)
Chapter 988: Meeting in Mianchi (Part 2)
Long before Qin Hao conquered Xiangyang, the three daughters Mu Guiying, Liu Mu and Xiahou Qingyi were all pregnant.
To this day, Qin Hao divided Nanyang County, defeated the Jingzhou coalition, formed the Guandong Alliance, fought against Hulao, and strongly broke Luoyang...
Just as this series of events was slowly underway, nearly a year had gradually passed, and Liu Mu and the three girls had given birth one after another.
Among the three daughters, Liu Mu gave birth to Qin Hongye, Xiahou Qingyi gave birth to the second daughter Qin Chengxin, and Mu Guiying gave birth to Qin Hao''s eldest son Qin Ying.
Only Mu Guiying gave birth to Lin''er for Qin Hao. Liu Mu and Xiahou Qingyi gave birth to daughters. Qin Hao felt relieved when he saw that Liu Mu did not give birth to a son. Otherwise, in order to protect his flesh and blood, Qin Hao might have another conflict with his father.
Qin Hao, who was the first father, wanted to fly back to Wancheng immediately to meet his three children, but as the leader of the alliance, he was unable to go back at all in the short term.
In order to relieve the pain of lovesickness, Qin Hao wrote more than 60 letters in a month, and at the same time comforted Liu Mu and Xiahou Qingyi, telling them that both boys and girls themselves liked them.
Liu Mu is the one among the three girls who most wants to give birth to a son for Qin Hao. As a wife, she has much more pressure than the other two girls. It was not until she read the letter written by Qin Hao that she completely opened up.
This time it won’t work, it’s all the time to have a child next time. She and her husband are still young anyway. Liu Mu thought so in his heart.
If Qin Hao knew Liu Mu’s thoughts, he would probably smile bitterly. After all, if Liu Mu was pregnant once, Qin Hao would be scared enough. If he would come again in the future? That''s really a sin!
He had three children at once, but Qin Hao did not name the children immediately, but instead handed over the naming rights to his father to ease the conflict between the father and son before.
Qin Wen was relieved when he learned that Liu Mu gave birth to a daughter. He still couldn''t accept it. He asked the Liu woman to give birth to the Qin family''s legitimate son. Fortunately, all this did not happen.
Mu Guiying''s father Mu Yu is Qin Wen''s beloved general, and Mu Guiying was also grown up by Qin Wen. She gave birth to the eldest grandson for the Qin family. Qin Wen was naturally very satisfied with this, so he called the eldest grandson "Ying" with a big stroke, which means heroes and heroes.
As for Qin Hao''s other two daughters, his younger brother was not treated as Qin Ying, and Qin Wen did not name them.
This is not because Qin Wen prefers boys over girls, but because he understands Chu''s joy of being a father, and naming his children is also included.
Qin Wen had already named his grandson, so he should give his two granddaughters the names to his son. Qin Hao naturally would not be polite to his father, so he gave his two daughters a very modern name, Qin Hongye and Qin Chengxin.
In this way, two different and distinct styles appeared in the names of Qin Hao''s son and daughter, the word "boy" and the word "daughter", and this style was still preserved.
From the entire Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, almost all the names of people in the past 300 years were one character, and there were very few double-character names, and this problem lies with Wang Mang.
Before Wang Mang, the number of names of people was unlimited, and even the name of his own grandson was two words.
After Wang Mang came to power, he gave the "production" of "two names in the past", and the two-character names are not allowed in the form of law.
Although the political orders issued by Wang Mang were abolished later, the view that "the single-character name is noble" was deeply rooted in people''s hearts. All the families of aristocratic families gave their daughters a single-character name, while those with the double-character name were ordinary people. However, in today''s era of great conflicts, with more and more heroes with double-character names, Li Shimin, Hong Xiuquan, Li Zicheng, Li Cunxiao...
These famous heroes all have two-character names, so the view that "single-character names are precious" has gradually been abandoned by the world, and Qin Hao would not be opposed to the name of his daughter''s double-character name.

The five thousand women''s army left Wancheng and went to cooperate with Zhang Liao to encircle and suppress Li Yuan, but another shocking change occurred on Dong Zhuo in Mianchi.
As soon as Dong Zhuo led his army to Mianchi, Qin Hao led the army to confront him. However, after learning about the specific number of Qin troops, Dong Zhuo once again made plans to negotiate.
The reason why Dong Zhuo wanted to expel the Qin army from Sizhou was that he had two confidences. One was that the number of troops in Sizhou was twice that of the Qin army, and the other was that military advisor Jia Xu once asserted that the number of reinforcements in the Qin army would not be too large.
But Dong Zhuo did not expect that the military advisor, who had always been calculated without a doubt, had a rare miscalculation this time. Qin Hao actually transferred 50,000 elite reinforcements, which also made the number of Qin troops reach 130,000 at once.
The 140,000 Liang army against the 130,000 Qin army, the Liang army''s advantage in military strength is no longer obvious, but the Qin army''s equipment is much better than the Liang army. In addition, the Qin army is full of fierce generals, Qin Hao''s terrifying record of not losing so far also makes Dong Zhuo even more guilty.
The Liang army''s situation is very poor now. The 500,000 troops before the war are now only 280,000, and nearly half of them are concentrated in Mianchi.
If the 140,000 Liang troops in Mianchi were too damaged, rebels such as Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and Qin Wen in Bingzhou would never miss this good opportunity. Even Liu Yan in Yizhou would invade Hanzhong, and the entire Guanxi would probably fall into an unstable situation.
At this point, Dong Zhuoyue felt that for Liang Jun now, it was not a wise move to continue fighting with Qin Hao, and restoring his strength was the most important thing.
Although Dong Zhuo didn''t want to fight any longer, he also knew that if he negotiated lightly at this time, he would definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, and Qin Hao would definitely speak loudly.
But if there is no negotiation, Qin Hao''s army will really come, and it will probably be even worse in negotiations at that time.
Just when Dong Zhuo was in a dilemma, Qin Hao took the initiative to send someone to discuss the peace talks and was preparing to meet Dong Zhuo in person outside Mianchi City.
After learning about this, Dong Zhuo immediately attracted the ministers to discuss and asked in a deep voice: "You guys, Qin Hao is making an appointment with the Miscellaneous Family outside the city. Do you think the Miscellaneous Family will meet or not?"
As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, he immediately discussed the conversation in the hall, and then all the civil and military officials stood up and spoke out, supporting and opposing. In general, the majority of them opposed it.
Dong Zhuo actually wanted to go. After all, this time the Qin army took the initiative to seek peace, and if the negotiations were held, they would definitely take the initiative.
It can be seen that so many of his subordinates were opposed, which made Dong Zhuo hesitate. In the end, it was Jia Fu''s words that "no loss will be lost when they see each other" that made Dong Zhuo completely make up his mind.
"Yuwen Chengdu, Jia Fu, Wu Yunzhao, Xin Wenli, you and four others will go to meet Qin Hao as escorts."
