Chapter 990 The Meeting in Mianchi (Part 2)
Chapter 988: Meeting in Mianchi (Part 2)
Early 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 Allied Forces, formed the Guandong Alliance, fought the Hulao Rain War, and stormed Luoyang...
While this series of events was slowly progressing, nearly a year had gradually passed, and Liu Mu and three other women also gave birth one after another.
Among the three daughters, Liu Mu gave birth to Qin Hao’s eldest daughter 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 Xia Hou Qingyi gave birth to daughters. Qin Hao was relieved when he saw that Liu Mu did not give birth to a son. Otherwise, in order to save his own flesh and blood, Qin Hao might still have to give birth to a son. There will be another conflict with my father.
Qin Hao, a new father, was eager to fly back to Wancheng immediately to see his three children. However, as the leader of the alliance, he was too busy to do anything and could not go back in the short term.
In order to relieve the pain of lovesickness, Qin Hao wrote more than 60 letters in a month. At the same time, he also comforted Liu Mu and Xiahou Qingyi, telling them that he liked both boys and girls.
Liu Mu is the one who wants to give birth to a son for Qin Hao the most among the three women. As a head wife, she is under much greater pressure than the other two women. It was not until she read the letter written by Qin Hao that she finally gave up.
If it doesn't work this time, just try it next time when she's still alive. Anyway, she and her husband are still young. This is what Liu Mu thought in his heart.
If Qin Hao knew what Liu Mu was thinking, he would probably smile bitterly. After all, Qin Hao would have been frightened once Liu Mu was pregnant. What if he did it again in the future? That’s really a sin!
He had three children at once, but Qin Hao did not name them immediately. Instead, he gave the naming rights to his father, so as to alleviate the previous conflict between father and son.
Qin Wen was also relieved when he learned that Liu Mu had given birth to a daughter. He still cannot accept that the Liu family's woman gave birth to the Qin family's legitimate son. Fortunately, this did not happen.
Mu Guiying's father, Mu Yu, was Qin Wen's favorite general, and Mu Guiying was also raised by Qin Wen. She gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Qin family. Qin Wen was naturally very satisfied with this, so he named her eldest grandson with a stroke of his pen. The name 'Ying' means hero or hero.
As for Qin Hao's other two daughters, the younger brother did not receive the same treatment as Qin Ying. Qin Wen did not name them.
This is not because Qin Wen favors boys over girls, but because he understands the joy of being a father at the beginning, and naming his children also includes it.
Qin Wen had already named his grandson. It was better to give the names of his two granddaughters to his son. Naturally, Qin Haode would not be polite to his father, so he gave his two daughters a modern name, Qin Hongye. and Qin Chengxin.
In this way, Qin Hao's son and daughter's names have two completely different styles, one word for boy and two words for daughter, and this style is still preserved.
Throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, almost all the names of people in these 300 years were one-character names, and there were very few two-character names. This problem lies with Wang Mang.
Before Wang Mang, there was no limit to the number of names a person could have, and even his own grandson's name only had two characters.
After Wang Mang came to power, he decided to "remove the use of two-character names" and stipulated in the form of law that two-character names were not allowed.
Although Wang Mang's political decree was repealed later, the idea that "a single-name name is noble" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. All wealthy families gave their daughters single-name names, while those with double-name names were ordinary people. However, in today's era of great collision of knowledge, with more and more heroes with two-character names, Li Shimin, Hong Xiuquan, Li Zicheng, Li Cunxiao...
These world-famous heroes all have two-character names. Therefore, the idea that "one-character names are noble" has gradually been abandoned by the world. Qin Hao will not be opposed to giving his daughter a two-character name.

Five thousand women's army left Wancheng and went to cooperate with Zhang Liao in encircling and suppressing Li Yuan. However, another shocking incident occurred on Dong Zhuo's side in Mianchi.
As soon as Dong Zhuo led his army to Mianchi, Qin Hao led his army to confront him. However, after learning the specific number of Qin's army, Dong Zhuo once again had plans for peace talks.
Dong Zhuo had two reasons for wanting to expel the Qin army from Sizhou. 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 Qin army’s reinforcements There won’t be too many.
However, Dong Zhuo did not expect that the military advisor who had always calculated without miscalculation unexpectedly made a rare miscalculation this time. Qin Hao actually directly transferred 50,000 elite reinforcements, which also brought the number of Qin troops to 130,000.
The Liang Army's 140,000 troops faced the Qin Army's 130,000 troops. The Liang Army's advantage in strength was no longer obvious, but the Qin Army's equipment was much better than the Liang Army's. In addition, the Qin Army's fierce generals were like a cloud. The shocking defeat also made Dong Zhuo feel increasingly guilty.
The Liang army is now in a very bad situation. The 500,000-strong army before the war now only has 280,000 left, and nearly half of them are concentrated in Mianchi.
If the 140,000 Liang troops in Mianchi suffer excessive losses, the rebels such as Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou will definitely take the opportunity to cause rebellion, and Qin Wen in Bingzhou will never let go of this good opportunity, and may even benefit from it. Liu Yan of the state will invade Hanzhong, and the whole of Kansai will probably fall into an unstable situation.
With this thought, Dong Zhuo Zhuo realized that it was definitely not a wise move for Liang Jun to continue fighting with Qin Hao. The most important thing was to recuperate and regain his strength.
Although Dong Zhuo didn't want to continue the fight, he also knew that if he talked lightly about negotiation at this time, he would definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, and Qin Hao would definitely open his mouth.
But if there is no negotiation, Qin Hao's army will really attack, and the negotiation will be even worse.
Just when Dong Zhuo was in a dilemma, Qin Hao took the initiative to send someone to discuss peace talks and prepared to meet Dong Zhuo in person outside Mianchi City.
After learning about this incident, Dong Zhuo immediately summoned his ministers for discussion and asked in a deep voice: "My lords, Qin Hao made an appointment with the Zaijia outside the city. Do you think the Zaijia met or not?"
As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Immediately, all the civil and military ministers stood up to express their opinions, with some supporting and some opposing. Generally speaking, the majority were opposed.
Dong Zhuo actually wanted to go. After all, it was the Qin army who took the initiative to seek peace this time. If they negotiated, they would definitely take the initiative.
It can be seen that so many of his subordinates were opposed, which made Dong Zhuo hesitate a little. In the end, it was Jia Fu's words that "there is no loss in seeing him" that made Dong Zhuo completely determined.
"Yu Wen Chengdu, Jia Fu, Wu Yunzhao, Xin Wenli, you and the other four will act as bodyguards and go with the Za family to meet Qin Hao."
