Another part of Liu Bei's mansion,

Two burly men sat in a room,

One of them has a face like a heavy date,

Danfeng eyes, three feet of beautiful hair under the chin;

The other is a leopard with a head and ringed eyes,

Looking at it, there is a mighty and domineering air rushing to the face,

These two are Liu Bei's sworn brothers,

Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide.

Both of them don't look good,

Guan Yu's face was solemn,

The flushed face can't see the real color change,

But the frowning silkworm eyebrows,

is clearly expressing the hesitation in his heart at the moment,

Zhang Fei was depressed,

His headache was that Guan Yu was in a bad mood,

One drank the stuffy wine,

But no matter how much he asked,

The other party never spoke.

This can make the invincible brave and invincible General Zhang San scratch his head uncomfortably,

In the end, I had to pour one sip after another.

Wine is strong and good,

From the mouth into the throat and then into the abdomen,

Like a fiery dragon,

piping hot and irritating;

People are heroic and fierce,

The big bowl of wine is not too fast,

As if on the battlefield,

Among the thousands of armies, they rushed back and forth,

Stimulate! Enjoyable! Joyfully!

It can eliminate all the blocks in the chest.

Guan Yu casually threw away an empty wine jar,

Stretch out your arms and bring another jar of wine,

After patting the mud seal, he raised his head and poured a big mouthful,

Most of the wine was poured into Guan Yu's mouth,

Still a lot sprinkled down,

wet the hair on the chest,

This would not normally be possible.

Guan Erye was quite proud of his beard,

On weekdays, I care for it very much.

But today I don't know why,

I don't even care about this important thing.

Zhang Fei glanced at Guan Yu,

He is reckless but not stupid,

Guan Yu was obviously very unhappy in his heart when he behaved like this,

However, no matter how much he asked,

The other party just doesn't open his mouth,

makes Zhang Sanye also very helpless,

Even my favorite wine on weekdays,

At the moment, I feel a little dull and boring.

Just when Zhang Fei thought that the second brother still refused to speak,

"Alas——!"

A long sigh came from Guan Yu's mouth,

Hearing Guan Yu's voice for the first time,

Zhang Fei suddenly looked at the other party,

Before he could speak,

Guan Yu took the lead and said:

"Third brother, second brother, I feel uncomfortable."

Danfeng's eyes were full of red threads,

I don't know if it's because of the intoxicating sense of alcohol,

Or is it because of melancholy.

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

The second monk Zhang Feizhang couldn't figure it out,

In his impression,

Guan Yu is not the kind of sentimental person,

But what is the reason for such sorrow at this moment?

"Second brother, what is the matter? Who made the second brother uncomfortable, and told the younger brother that I Zhang Fei went to unscrew his head! ”

Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei,

Tilted his head again and poured a big sip of wine,

Shaking his head, he stretched out the wine jar in his hand in front of Zhang Fei:

"Come on! Drink! ”

Zhang Fei opened his mouth,

I don't know how to consol,

I had to stretch out the jar of wine in my hand,

touched Guan Yu,

Raise your head and drink.

Guan Yu casually wiped the wine in his mouth with the back of his hand,

His eyes closed in agony,

There seemed to be tears slowly flashing.

"Third brother, what should you do if the second brother does something wrong?"

"What?"

Zhang Fei's round eyes glared,

looked at Guan Yu inexplicably,

Looking at the second brother doesn't look like a joke,

He drank much more than these jars.

grinning widely and said:

"Second brother, what are you talking about, you are my second brother, I don't care if it's right or wrong, what you do is right!"

Guan Yu looked at the straightforward Zhang Fei,

Even if I am depressed at the moment,

couldn't help but laugh bitterly:

"You idiot, it's easy to think! Come on, drink! ”

After taking a sip of wine,

Guan Yu sighed:

"I have not seen the good and the wicked. Those who are benevolent have nothing to offer; Those who are evil and unkind are benevolent, and those who are inconvenient and unkind are added to their bodies. Can you use your strength for a day? I don't see anyone who is deficient. I don't see it. ”

Zhang Fei raised his head and looked at Guan Yu,

These words are from the Analects,

Although Zhang Fei is reckless and rude,

But in fact, he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child.

This is clearly documented in history.

Therefore, Guan Yu said these words at this moment,

His heavy eyebrows furrowed,

The tendency to mean something in this statement is too obvious,

How could Zhang Fei not hear the meaning,

The words that I wanted to persuade

When it came to the mouth, it was changed:

"Second brother, drink!"

The original spicy drink,

At this moment, it turned out to be a little bitter in his mouth.

Guan Yu seems to be drunk,

muttered in a low voice:

Zi said: "The people are more benevolent than fire and water." Fire and water, I saw the dead and did not see the benevolent and died. Zi said: "Those who are not benevolent cannot be with each other for a long time, and they cannot be happy. The benevolent are benevolent, and the knower is benevolent. "The benevolent are benevolent, and the knower is benevolent......"

Zhang Fei also sighed slowly:

"The rulers of the ancients, benevolence and righteousness govern them, love them with peace, and faithfulness guide them, so as to eliminate their disasters and think of their blessings."

Guan Yu's lying silkworm eyebrows trembled slightly,

Tilt your head and pour wine again,

Only this time,

The hand doesn't seem to hold it steady,

It's not so much about drinking,

It's better to wash your face with wine,

Bow your head, the fluid flows in your eyes,

I don't know if it's wine or tears,

Muttered:

"The benevolent is also benevolent, the rational is righteous, the festival is also courteous, the right is known, the benevolence and righteousness are known, and the people are propped. However, now, colluding with foreigners and causing harm to the enemy, where is the benevolence? Repaying virtue with grievances and secretly stirring up, where is the righteousness? Where's that......"

Zhang Fei's brows furrowed tighter and tighter,

Raise your head and drink the small half jar of wine directly,

"Second brother, alas! The younger brother is still the same sentence, the three of us brothers, the eldest brother and the second brother, no matter what you say, the little brother, I have absolutely no two words! Who dares to provoke our brothers, I, Zhang Fei, rushed over first and screwed off his head! ”

Guan Yu stared straight at Zhang Fei,

Suddenly, I couldn't help but impulsively say:

"Then what if the second brother and the eldest brother have a conflict, or even turn against each other?"

Hearing Guan Yu's words,

Zhang Fei subconsciously shuddered,

A round face immediately turned iron-blue,

I couldn't help but crush the wine jar directly in my hand.

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei, who was deep in thought,

His own heart was very troubled,

Fang Cai also unconsciously said the words through the wine,

I feel very uncomfortable at the moment,

Stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Fei's palm,

Zhang Fei's subconscious palm shrunk,

It seems to be dodging,

Guan Yu sighed softly:

"Third brother, second brother said the wrong thing!"

The voice fell, and he raised a jar of wine again and poured it into his mouth,

Zhang Fei raised his head and looked at Guan Yu with a complicated gaze,

Silently did not say a word,

But in those eye sockets,

Faintly, it became much wetter.

Zhang Fei then raised his hand,

He lifted up a jar of wine and drank it bitterly,

At this time, almost the entire jar of wine is poured out before it is over,

exhaled heavily,

Zhang Fei opened his mouth and said:

"Second brother, if, if that situation really happens, I don't know what to do, I, I don't know......"

A man with five big and three thick,

At this moment, like a dazed child,

Lips trembled slightly,

Eyes are getting redder,

More and more red.

Guan Yu sighed again,

Danfeng's eyes slowly closed,

Subconsciously stretched out his hand to stroke the long hair under his chin,

He stopped talking for a long time.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse outside,

It's still a little cold at night,

Haixi County is located on the seashore,

The cool sea breeze blows slowly,

lowered the temperature of this land by a few points,

It seemed to make that person's heart a little colder.

In the city of Xiapi,

The county watchman's house is still brightly lit in the middle of the night,

On this day, Xiahou Yuan held a celebration banquet in the city,

Reward the soldiers of the three armies,

At the same time, many local gentry were also invited to come.

On the one hand, it is to appease people's hearts,

On the other hand, it is also to promote the prestige of Cao Jun,

In order to be able to better control Pi and even the whole of Xuzhou in the future, lay the foundation.

The most prestigious Chen Qi father and son in Xiapi City,

Naturally, he was among the invitees,

The banquet was very lively,

Although Xiahou Yuan is not as good as his brother Xiahou Yuan in terms of martial arts,

But being a person in the world is much more sleek and low-key,

Therefore, the whole banquet is easy to navigate among the forces of all parties,

Take care of all aspects of the relationship,

In the banquet, it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy,

And so on until the end of the day,

The feast has just ended,

Even so,

There are still many people who feel that they are not satisfied,

But there is no feast in the world,

Eventually, the crowd dispersed.

Riding in their respective vehicles,

Walk slowly towards your home.

The carriage of the Chen family is much more spacious than the ordinary carriage.

Chen Qi and his son sat together in a carriage,

Under the control of the old groom,

The carriage was moving very smoothly,

Father and son sat opposite each other in the carriage,

Both of them were flushed,

Obviously, Fang just drank not too little,

But the eyes are shining,

It seems to be a very good situation.

Chen Qi is old in the end,

Now he is the age of knowing the destiny of heaven,

The temples are already gray,

Slightly tired,

Leaning against a thick cushion on the back,

It seems to be a fake sleep break.

Chen Deng leaned over and took a small blanket,

Covering Chen Jue's legs, he said softly:

"Father, if you are sleepy, you should sleep for a while."

Chen Qi smiled and shook his head:

"Hehe, Yuanlong, although my father is old, this little bit of wine is not a problem."

Chen Deng sat back in his place and did not continue to speak.

Chen Qi pulled the blanket up,

casually said:

"Yuanlong, what do you think of General Miaocai?"

Chen Deng thought about it sideways,

Carefully consider the words:

"Thoughtful and exquisite."

Chen Qi nodded slightly,

"That's a good point."

After a pause, he went on to take the school test:

"Then what do you think of his feelings about our Chen family?"

Chen Deng thought for a longer time this time,

Seems a little unsure,

Said hesitantly:

"The child thinks that Xiahou Miaocai seems to be too reserved for us, and he is not as eager for talent as he says."

Chen Qi smiled when he heard this,

But he shook his head slightly and said:

"No, he, or Cao Cao behind him, is eager to recruit our Chen family, this is true."

Chen Deng was slightly stunned,

I understood it in an instant,

Cao Cao occupies Xuzhou,

It is bound to need a large number of nobles to serve it,

Especially the local scholars in Xuzhou have always been xenophobic,

If Cao Jun conquered Xuzhou,

can't win the acceptance of the local scholars in Xuzhou,

and even the large-scale selection and appointment of officials from other places,

Then it will inevitably affect their local roots in Xuzhou,

It is even quite possible that in the near future,

This Xuzhou will also gain and lose.

And their Xiapi Chen family is precisely the leading representative of the Xuzhou Shi clan,

As long as they can pull their Chen family into the chariot,

The whole Xuzhou is as stable as Mount Tai.

If you don't see you, that is, when the imperial power is still heavy,

Tao Qian, the chief official of Xuzhou, who was personally appointed by the emperor,

can only use soft means to win over the Chen family,

Chen Qi doesn't give him face, and he is unwilling to go out and serve,

But Tao Qian still regards Chen Dengbai as an important position,

And in many things,

All have to take into account the opinions of their Chen family,

Even after asking for their consent beforehand,

Only then did they dare to implement it boldly.

Chen Deng hurriedly lowered his head and said:

"The child is stupid."

The smile on Chen Jue's face did not decrease,

Shaking his head slightly, he said:

"Yuanlong, you are just a blind eye, and you have been affected by that Xiahou Miaocai's attitude, so it is normal to come to this conclusion. It is said that this Xiahou Yuan has always respected Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, regardless of the actual reason, it is an indisputable fact that Cao Song died in Xuzhou. In addition, Cao Cao recently ordered that Cao Jun was not allowed to slaughter the city, so this Xiahou Miaocai's resentment was extremely difficult to alleviate, but it was also reasonable, and the old father guessed that it was also because of this, so during the banquet, although Xiahou Yuan had a spring breeze on his face, it gave people a feeling of being about to leave, and the reason was this. ”

Chen Deng's face showed a look of sudden realization.

Chen Qi changed the topic,

Then he asked:

"Yuanlong, then now, do you think we should serve that Cao Mengde?"

Chen Deng turned his head sideways,

Thumb and forefinger gently rub the goatee under the chin,

After thinking for a moment,

Raised his head and said slowly:

"According to the current situation, defecting to Cao Cao is also a good choice. After all, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and now occupies the name of orthodoxy, and although the means of attacking Xuzhou this time are more ruthless, it is also justified, and the time is in Cao. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Deng paused.

Chen Jue nodded slightly,

did not speak about it,

He knew that Chen Deng must have a follow-up, but he didn't say it.

Sure enough, a moment later,

Chen Deng put down the fingers that were twisting his beard,

Looking up at his father, he continued:

However, after all, the Cao army is a fierce dragon crossing the river, but the geographical advantage is not occupied, coupled with the previous slaughter of the city, the people of Xuzhou are afraid, and they are even more unfriendly. Gaining the sky and sometimes losing the land and the people, so the child did not think that Cao Jun could gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, so it was not the time to serve Cao Cao for the time being. ”

Chen Qi showed a satisfied look on his face,

Any father,

The happiest thing is that your children are in charge alone.

Even more than yourself,

Chen Qi has been carefully cultivating this son,

Now that he is becoming more and more mature,

Naturally, he felt very proud.

Chen Jue leisurely picked up the tea bowl,

Slowly take a sip of tea,

Then he asked:

"That Yuanlong, in your opinion, what should our Chen family do? Is it possible to wait for the price to sell as before? ”

Chen Deng's eyes narrowed slightly,

A faint smile curled up on his lips,

Slowly shook his head,

Filled my father's tea bowl with water again,

Only then did he speak slowly:

"It's natural that this is not the case at this time."
