Chapter 389: Cao Cao's Cup of Tea
The time is the thirteenth year of Jian'an, in September, after Cao Cao expelled Liu Bei to Jiangxia, he fully occupied the northern and central parts of Jingzhou, and the four southern counties have not moved there for the time being because they are separated by the Yangtze River, but Cao Cao has sent envoys to the four counties, so that the four counties are too obedient.
After Liu Bei fled to Jiangxia, the weak Liu Qi completely handed over the military power in his hands to the other party, and the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty took advantage of this justification to forcibly recruit soldiers and horses in the Jiangxia area.
Zhuge Liang didn't know what the reason was, so he didn't abandon Liu Bei, but voluntarily asked for orders to go to Eastern Wu and ask Sun Quan for an alliance. Liu Bei felt that this proposal was good, and followed it one by one.
Forehead...... Anyway, Liu Bei's role is almost the same, and after a few more appearances, he was arranged by the god Jiuli to get out of the car to get the lunch box, and he was gone.
Focus the camera on Cao Cao's direction......
After taking Jiangling, Cao Cao's eyes were aimed at Jiangdong, and more precisely, Sun Quan, who inherited his father's and brother's inheritance.
Cao Cao's southern expedition originally brought 400,000 troops, the main body of which was composed of cavalry, infantry and archers, plus logistics leaders, etc., about 430,000.
Cao Cao naturally understood this truth, and gradually incorporated the 200,000 sailors in Jiangling into the army, and with the navy as the backbone, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were responsible for training the army's combat ability on the water.
As early as when Cao Cao was marching south to Xinye, Sun Quan sent Zhou Yu to lead the naval army to train troops at Poyang Lake, and by the way, he monitored Cao Cao's army's movements nearby.
Because of this initiative, when Cao Cao's army entered Xiangyang, Zhou Yu first led the naval army to occupy Chibi and held the only danger that could allow Cao Cao's army to pass Guò.
After the rectification of the six hundred and thirty thousand three armies, Cao Cao, who was belated, could only set up a formation in Wulin and confront Chibi directly opposite.
"Hahaha! Who should I be here, it turns out that Guo Feng!!xiao, who has not appeared for a long time, has recovered from his illness?" In the Wulin camp, Li Wei saw the dusty Guo Jia appear in the camp, laughed and greeted him and asked with concern.
"If it wasn't for the recovery, do you think Mr. Zhang Zhongjing would let me out?" Finished, Guo Jia glanced at Li Wei angrily, the reason was that Li Wei had found two close caregivers for him before leaving Xu Du. In Guo Jia's view, taking care is false, and monitoring himself for taboos is real. Why? The names of those two caretakers are Dianman and Xu Yi, so ...... You know that......
"Hahaha!!" Li Wei naturally understood the meaning of Guo Jia's white eyes, so he made a big move and passed the test with a smile.
"You came at the right time sooner or later, and I think the lord must be very happy to see his ghost plot alive again. Li Wei put his arm on Guo Jia's shoulder and said.
"Do you think I'm Hexian? I'm still alive, it's terrible to be uneducated......" Guo Jia glanced at Li Wei and shook his head with pity.
"Uh...... It's okay if you don't get fresh in the river, but together with it, I found that you and the eel are quite similar, both are slippery guys. Li Wei's words made Guo Jia completely give up the meaning of refutation, because he knew that it was difficult for him to win the food god in front of him in terms of food.
After entering the military tent, everyone saw the recovered Guo Jia, and they stepped forward to say hello and care, and Cao Cao may have been afraid that Guo Jia would fall again, so he ordered the left and right to bring a Hu Ji for him to sit aside and participate in the military discussion together.
"Wen Ruo, have you already sent the text to Sun Quan?" On the main seat, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu in a relaxed and smug tone.
"Yes, messengers have been sent to Koto. Xun Yu replied.
"Okay! It's up to the blue-eyed to choose! So far in the war, all the generals have made a lot of contributions, and the soldiers are also tired; the order goes down, except for the soldiers on duty on patrol, everyone will unload their armor and rest tonight, and at the same time, let the leader prepare more meat and wine, so that all the soldiers can have a good meal!" Cao Cao happily ordered, and when the soldiers heard the news, they shouted one after another.
……
That night, Cao Cao's tent had been expanded several times, allowing all the strategists and generals to enter the banquet, and the soldiers were enjoying a rare and sumptuous meal in their tents or in the open air.
"Hahaha!! come, everyone drinks this cup with Lone!!" Cao Cao sat on the main seat, holding wine in one hand and a Mei Ji in the other, and shouted happily.
"Prime Minister Xie!" The people in the seat were not much better, many of them were already drunk, and even some anxious people began to attack Mei Ji beside them.
"An Min, why don't you drink? Did this woman do something wrong and make you unhappy? Do you want to change it for you?" Guo Jia originally planned to find his good drinking friend Li Wei, but found that the latter only moved the dishes, and Mei Ji poured the wine in the wine glass, and did not move. Guo Jia thought that Li Wei was not satisfied, and looked at Mei Ji with a fierce look, and then asked.
"The general spares his life! the general spares his life!" Mei Ji naturally saw Guo Jia's fierce eyes, and hurriedly knelt there begging for mercy.
"It's none of her business...... Don't worry, Ben will not have the intention of killing you, but you go down to prepare a set of tea sets and tea leaves, Ben will want to cook tea for the prime minister. Li Wei naturally saw Guo Jia's eyes, and shook his head. Later, Li Wei instructed Mei Ji to prepare a tea set for him, and the latter hurriedly agreed to retreat.
"Hahaha! It's worth it to be able to get His Excellency the God of Food to cook tea for Gu! " Obviously, what happened here and the conversation attracted the attention of the others early on, and Cao Cao, who was a little drunk, just wanted to take a break, and after hearing Li Wei's words, he laughed and said.
Mei Ji's hands and feet were very neat, and in less than a quarter of an hour, she brought everything that Li Wei asked for.
"You stay, the tea will be boiled later, and you have to touch the prime minister. Li Wei opened his mouth to leave Mei Ji, but Cao Cao was interested at this time, waving his hand to let Mei Ji stand on one side and wait, while he stepped down from the main seat and sat down opposite Li Wei.
Li Wei likes to make tea very much, and because he is old (?), he has realized the tea ceremony.
Washing tea, brewing and sealing pots, serving tea in cups, smelling and tasting tea, a series of actions are quite standardized.
"Hmm...... Although this tea is ordinary, but after the hands of An Min, there is another experience. Cao Cao pecked lightly, closed his eyes as if he had comprehended, and said.
"It was just two boiling water, but now it is three boiling, and there will be a different experience...... How about another drink?" asked Li Wei with a light smile on his face.
"It's better than that. Cao Cao put the tea bowl down, and then replied. Li Wei put the tea leaves into the clay pot in which the water was boiled, and then poured the tea from the pot into Cao Cao's tea bowl.
"Full...... Full ......" It's just that Li Wei seems to be expressing something, the tea bowl has been filled with tea, but he still poured the tea into the bowl, making Cao Cao hurriedly shout.
"My lord, the tea bowl is full, and it will be fine to pour it out a little, but in war, it is taboo to be proud and complacent for the main general...... Does the lord feel that he has won the battle and begins to indulge himself?If so, this battle will be lost!" Li Wei asked Cao Cao with his teapot in a calm tone.
When Cao Cao heard Li Wei's assertion, his head was shocked as if it had been bombarded by five thunderbolts.
Collect! Hit! Recommend!
The passage of exhortation with tea is borrowed from "Red Cliff", and that scene does have meaning in it......
