Chapter 1383: Night Talk

The more you care about something, the more it happens. Wild Sand Literature Network

When Lu Bu found out that Wei Xu and Cheng Lian were showing their coarse side again, eating and drinking had no etiquette norms at all, and he was immediately angry. When Gao Shun and Wei Xu switched positions, Lu Bu still felt that the chatter and whispers around him were all talking about this matter......

After all, in this kind of banquet, the arrangement of seats is exquisite, and the official position, age, family background, etc. need to be comprehensively considered, and it is not possible to sit at will, and change positions if you want to, so such a move will be somewhat eye-catching.

But in fact, Lu Bu thought too much.

Just as if your pants are torn, you will feel that anyone is staring at your crotch, Lu Bu also thinks that those who talk and laugh loudly may be laughing at his subordinates.

Therefore, when Fei Qian came back from a walk around with the wine lord, he saw Lu Bu with his head down, and his expression was somewhat wrong.

To be honest, except for Gao Shun and Chen Gong, Fei Qian didn't care too much about Lu Bu's other subordinates, compared to Lu Bu, those few were like an additive, whether they had it or not. People like Wei Xu may also have some force, but they are only force, better than ordinary soldiers, and their shortcomings in intelligence have left Wei Xu and others without any potential space.

For Lu Bu, however, it was completely different.

There are not many generals under Lu Bu who can take on the role, and there is only one Gao Shun left, and there are only five of the eight strong generals in history, except for Zhang Liao, who has long been out of Lu Bu's ranks, the other two Zang Ba and Hao Meng, the two bandit leaders who occupy the mountains as kings, one is in Mount Tai and the other is in Hanoi, and they do not have too much intersection with Lu Bu, so naturally they are not under Lu Bu's command.

Lu Bu's current situation is like a person, driving a sea ship, alone in the boundless ocean of political interests, and then suddenly found that there was a mouse in the cabin......

The metaphor may not be very appropriate, but it means the same.

Lu Bu also knew that Chen Gong, Wei Xu and the others were not very good, but what could they do? If these people are all abandoned, then he will be left alone to fight? If you don't give up, these people are like rats on a sea boat, maybe they will bite a hole in the hull of the ship.

Fei Qian put down the wine lord and said to Lu Bu sideways: "Doesn't my brother want to meet that kid in my family?" ”

Lu Bu raised his head, suddenly became interested, nodded and said, "Of course I want to see you!" ”

Fei Qian stood up with a smile, and then said a casual word to the people around him, then gestured to Lu Bu, and led Lu Bu to the back hall.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet starts in the evening and continues to eat and drink until midnight, and will not disperse until the early morning, so it is normal to leave for a while to change clothes and rest.

Fei Qian slowly walked forward, Lu Bu followed, and after the two walked into the courtyard gate, they passed through the corridor and arrived at the back hall.

Huang Yueying was entertaining some female guests as the hostess in the back hall, such as Lu Bu's Yan family, and the wives of Xun Chen and other major officials, etc., after seeing Fei Qian and Lu Bu, she asked people to hug Xiao Fei Zhen.

Lu Bu didn't dare to take over, for fear that he would hurt Xiao Feizhen by clumsiness, so he stretched out his head to look at it, and then showed the unique silly smile that a man has when he sees a little baby.

Xiao Feizhen was already full of food and drink at this time, and her nose was bubbling when she slept, which was very sweet.

Lu Bu wanted to laugh, but he was worried that his laughter would be too loud and wake up the sleeping little Fei Zhen, so he could only hold back, almost dancing with his hands, and then untied a jade jue from his waist to give Fei Zhen as a meeting gift.

Huang Yueying glanced at Fei Qian, then took it with a smile, and then asked people to go back to the back hall with the child in their arms.

Fei Qian and Mrs. Yan nodded slightly and said hello. Well, Xiaocao is a concubine, and she didn't come because she didn't have enough shares, so she didn't come, and then it was inconvenient for the two of them to stay for a long time, after all, they were both female dependents, so they and Lu Bu re-came out of the back hall.

Walking to the pavilion, Fei Qian slowly stopped and said, "Brother, do you know that Xianbei used the plan to attack Youzhou and plunder the Han Realm?" ”

"What?!" Lu Bu's eyebrows raised, "Xianbei rat generation!" It was so presumptuous! ”

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Xianbei Kirby can gather Fuluo Han and gather Wuhuan, first take advantage of Gongsun's new defeat and the Han people are unprepared, and successively capture many towns and villages in Youbei, and then besiege Jicheng, the seat of Youzhou Governance, and lead General Yuan to rescue his son, but Xianbei's main goal is the salt and iron ...... of Yuyang."

"What a vicious strategy!" Lu Bu slapped angrily on the pavilion.

Fei Qian looked up, looked at the pavilion that was shaken a little by Lu Bu's palm, and said, "It's good enough to be strong...... Ah, no, fortunately, Tian Fengtian Yuanhao saw through Xianbei's plan, and used his own way to govern others, and also used the sound to attack the west, first sent light cavalry to aid Yuyang, and broke the Xianbei Wuhuan soldiers who attacked Yuyang, and then took advantage of the shock of most of Xianbei in Jicheng, and moved the army to Yuyang halfway to ambush and intercept the killing, and the Xianbei coalition army was very bad, and had to retreat to the northern ......"

"Good! Good! That's the joy! When Lu Bu heard this, he laughed, and subconsciously raised his palm to slap the pillar of the pavilion, and then realized something, so he took it back and slapped it a few times with both hands.

"Brother......" Fei Qian looked at Lu Bu, "What do you think of General Yuan?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Bu glared at Fei Qian, the tall man pressed down, but it was still very intimidating, "What do you want to say?" ”

Fei Qian smiled, did not answer immediately, but pointed to the railing of the pavilion, and then sat down first.

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then he also walked over, sat on the railing, and continued to look at Fei Qian waiting for him to answer.

"Brother, have you ever heard of the king?" Fei said as he looked at the night sky.

Lu Bu frowned: "You mean that Yuan Benchu is like the King of Xu?" ”

"Fei is also ......" Fei Qian shook his head, "Everyone calls Emperor Xin addicted to wine, reckless and militaristic, heavy punishment, and refusal to admonish and disguise wrong, which is said together with Xia Wei, and eventually caused the people to betray their relatives and leave the country, and the country was destroyed, and there are wine ponds to prove its desolation, and the punishment of cannon branding to prove its cruelty, and the chicken Si Chen to explain its unreasonableness, etc...... However, I checked some ancient books and found some very interesting things in them......"

"Huainanzi has said, the land of the East China Sea on the left, the quicksand on the right, the front of the toe, and the back of the secluded capital...... He also said, the king of the world and the princes of the dynasty, as far as the people can reach, and the boats are connected, and they are all obedient...... "Fei looked at the endless night sky, as if trying to look at a thousand years ago with his eyes, "When the king was king, the state had witch sacrifices, and often did ridiculous things in the name of the gods. These witch sacrifices, there are still ...... among the Xianbei Wuhuan people?"

Lu Bu was a little dazed when he heard this, and he didn't quite understand what Fei Qian meant.

"In order to eliminate the witch sacrifice, the king wanted to use the power of the army to conquer the barbarians to expand the territory, so as to suppress the witch sacrifice in a way that justified his position and set his name...... However, the king of the witch sacrifice was deeply feared by the people of the witch sacrifice, and the result was that there were barbarian resistance outside, and there were witch sacrifices colluding with the nobles inside, and the king of the Zhou naturally ended up defeated...... Fei Qian continued, "Interestingly, the witch sacrifice colluded with Ji Chang, and as a result, after Ji Chang came to power, he used the I Ching to say, and the scriptures were unified, and the Book of Changes was changed from a book of divination to a book of philosophy based on the number of symbols, which broke the cornerstone of the survival of the witch sacrifice...... After that, in the land of China, there are no witch sacrifices, only Zhou Li......"

Witch sacrifice is actually primitive worship, for many things at that time, close to the primitive people of the merchant and other tribes can not be well explained, so the witch sacrifice as the head of these gods have room to show, but from the beginning of the Book of Changes, people found that there is no need to go through the witch sacrifice of these sticks, they can also read the Book of Changes to interpret divination, and even try to divinate some unknown things by themselves, for the witch sacrifice, or for those who can not explain the fear of the mystery is greatly reduced, and eventually led to the witch sacrifice in the land of China, Complete retirement and layoff.

Lu Bu scratched his head, he understood what Fei Qian said, but he couldn't understand it. What I understand is that I understand the meaning of each sentence, but what I don't understand is why Fei Qian said these words?

Just for pure small talk?

Obviously not possible, but what exactly does that mean?

Fei Qian's gaze stayed on Lu Bu for a while, and the thought suddenly appeared in his mind that Lu Bu looked at Xiao Fei Zhen's silly smile, his heart moved slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Brother, do you know why you have ...... all these years." Turning into the north and the south, will there be no stability? ”

It's better to use the transfer in.

Lu Bu didn't think about it and asked, "Why?" ”

"......" Fei Qian looked at Lu Bu's head a little helplessly, is this really a brain?" The king of the Shang Dynasty was the son of heaven, ruling the Quartet, and discerning the quick, smelling very sensitively, and the material strength was outstanding, the hand was fierce, the soldiers of the country were supported, and the ministers of the court were governed, but in the end they were defeated, was their strength invincible? Is it unclear? Or is there another reason? When Dong Zhongying entered Luoyang, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, ordered the government to govern Shangshu, supported the soldiers of Xiliang and the state, and abolished the establishment of a word, but after all, many people betrayed their relatives and left, is it their power? Is it unclear? Or is it something else? And what about the prince and prince? ”

"This ......" Lu Bu opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something directly, but he didn't say anything. I just feel like my head is a mess and chaos.

"These questions, my answer is ......" Fei Qian patted Lu Bu on the shoulder, stood up, and looked down at Lu Bu who was sitting, "But that answer is mine, I think it, even if I say it and you listen to it, you may not agree with it...... Only the answer you come up with is your own brother......"

Lu Bu seems to understand whether he understands or not.

"It's not that I deliberately embarrassed my brother...... Fei Qian pointed in the direction of the school palace and said: "There are thousands of books in the Shoushan School Palace, and the same book, but the gains from reading are different, and the abilities of the students who learn are also different...... What you listen to others is always what others say, and only what you understand is your own...... This includes me, but also others...... In this way, can my brother understand? ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I understand this, but I don't understand what you said before......

Fei Qian smiled and said, "It's okay, anyway, it's not in a hurry now, my brother can think about it slowly...... It's always better to think about things before doing them, what does my brother think? ”

Lu Bu nodded, with some confusion.

"It's almost time to go back...... Fei Qian looked at the night sky, estimated the hour, and said, "It's time for the main course...... Do you know what the main dish is prepared by the younger brother tonight? It's a cannon dolphin......"

"Soak what?" Lu Bu's thoughts were still on the previous matter, and he couldn't keep up for a while.

"Cannon dolphin. Take about ten catties of piglets, take out the internal organs and fill them with spices after slaughtering, wrap them in yellow mud, as for the fierce fire, when they are slightly cooked, you can remove their shells, smear the surface with the powder made of millet and wheat, fry them in a pot until the skin is crispy, and finally add seasonings and put them into the small ding, put the small ding into the big ding, add soup, and cook for two ......or three days."

Not really.

Shellfish is a practice that has been practiced as early as the Autumn and Warring States periods.

Originally, it was not a form of torture, but a form of eating. The cover is a copper grid, under the fire, the eater takes it in the garden, and the cannon is placed on the grid and eats it, which is called the cannon branding, which is originally a fairly high-end way of eating, and the Korean roast is somewhat similar......

As for the cannon branding punishment jointly invented by King Su and Daji, maybe there is or maybe not, who knows?

As for whether it is good or not, when the cooking technology of the Han Dynasty was not fully developed, this level of complexity had already challenged the limits of the cooks, so much so that Fei Qian had to train intensively for a few days to make these cooks look more or less.

What Buddha jumps over the wall?

Sorry, that kind of cooking method is simple but the ingredients are not simple, in the Han Dynasty basically don't think about copying, after all, at this time, there are still many raw materials that can't even be seen......

"I also heard the name of the virtuous brother's gluttony, but I didn't think about ......it," Lu Bu blurted out, but he scratched his head a little embarrassed halfway through, "Brother Xian, that's not what I mean......

Gluttony, the four fierce beasts, is not a good word.

Fei Qian waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay." I already knew this...... Therefore, what others say may not be true...... Hehe, with the cannon dolphin as the main dish tonight, I think the price of the piglets on the market will increase greatly in the near future......"

Fei Qian walked slowly forward, and said: "There are many children of the Shi clan tonight, and there are always some people who like the taste of the cannon dolphin and will go back and try to make it...... Then the farmers who raise the piglets can sell them at a higher price, and of course they are happy...... There are also Ku Ding, who makes the cannon dolphin, etc., basically everyone can benefit from this one thing, and everyone is happy and happy...... And I'm ...... It's just a main course tonight......"

Lu Bu followed Fei Qian, and suddenly stood for a moment, looking at Fei Qian's back, I don't know why, it was obviously a step or two away, but it felt farther and farther away......
