Chapter 89: Family Feast
When Liu Ping returned to the mansion, the house was already lit up.
This is also the richest Chinese New Year's Eve for Ling'e and the others and Tai Shici's mother, although Liu Ping, the head of the family, is not there, but they also have to make a festive look.
Originally, everyone remembered Liu Ping and was worried that he would not be able to live in the poor place in Dongguan County, and Ling'e even wanted to take someone to Dongguan to take care of him at any time.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ping came back before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the people of Manfu were naturally overjoyed.
This Chinese New Year's Eve, so many people are celebrating the New Year together, but it is lively.
However, when they heard that Liu Ping was going to the Assassin Mansion for a family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone was a little disappointed.
Chinese New Year's Eve is a festival for the members of the group, and Liu Ping, the head of the family, went to the Assassin Mansion, and always felt that something was missing from the family.
But then they received Liu Ping's order that anyone in the mansion could take their relatives to the mansion and celebrate the festival together.
Now the house is even more lively, Ling'e's mother, Xiaocheng's younger brother, etc., each family has relatives to come.
Their families were very relieved to see that they lived in such a luxurious mansion and lived such a prosperous life.
β¦β¦
Cao Cao's family banquet naturally included the children and families of the Cao family and the Xiahou brothers.
The ladies all went to the back house, led by Mrs. Ding.
The men were in the front hall, with hundreds of small tables.
Before entering the table, Cao Ang, as the eldest son and the eldest brother among all the younger generations, naturally held the moon with stars.
Cao Ang always took Liu Ping with him and introduced him one by one, this is Cao Anmin, this is Xiahou Chong Xiahou Nan's brothers, this is Cao Tai, this is Cao Zhen......
It seems that his task is to introduce Liu Ping to his brothers, which makes a group of brothers envious.
Although everyone has never seen Liu Ping, they have also heard of Liu Ping's exploits, Cao Ang values him so much, he is about to become their cousin-in-law, and they treat Liu Ping affectionately one by one.
There are so many uncles, although Liu Ping doesn't recognize them all, he doesn't dare to slack off, these people are all famous figures in the Cao Wei regime, and they are the characters of lieges or generals at every turn.
Of course, Liu Ping remembered Cao Anmin.
In the future, Cao Anmin, like Cao Ang, died in the battle of Wancheng together, but did not catch up with the growth of the Cao family.
The main reason why Liu Ping remembered him was that his father was Cao De, who was in Cao Song's team to Yanzhou at that time.
That night, Liu Ping only escaped with Cao Song, but left Cao De alone and let him die under the slaughter of Zhang Min.
Probably Cao Song also felt ashamed in his heart, so he was slightly more affectionate to Cao Anmin's grandson than other grandchildren.
Cao Cao didn't blame Liu Ping for this incident later, after all, in that critical situation, it was not easy to save Cao Song.
If Cao De is added, maybe no one will survive.
Liu Ping didn't have the ability to save Cao De at that time, but now he has enough ability to save his son Cao Anmin, so that he won't die in Wancheng, and he can comfort Cao De's spirit in the sky.
If Cao Anmin does not die, he will at least be a liehou in the future.
When he was seated, Liu Ping was arranged next to Cao Ang, which was a very respected position.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone naturally can't drink dry, and they want the talents of the next generation to help the fun.
Those side branch disciples are not like Cao Ang and Liu Ping, they can see Cao Cao whenever they want to, and some of them are a little far away, and they may not see Cao Cao for a year.
This is a good opportunity for them to show their faces in front of Cao Cao, so some dance swords, some write poems, and it is not lively.
At this time, Liu Ping was not involved, his face had been exposed too much.
The limelight has a faint momentum to suppress Cao Ang, and he doesn't want to die yet.
Usually this is the time when Cao Zhi is powerful, and he has already done a good job and praised his father with a rainbow fart.
Take Le'an, break Dongguan, drive away the plague, quell the rebellion, anyway, there are all kinds of materials.
Cao Cao laughed after hearing this, stroked his beard and said: "The merits mentioned in Zi Jianfu are all related to Ping'er, you juniors should respect him a few more cups, and learn from him well in the future, his achievements are the real worries for his father." β
When everyone heard it, didn't they, most of these exploits were done by Liu Ping, and only the destruction of Dongguan was led by Cao Cao himself.
It's just that Cao Cao beat down just a chicken rib, and as a result, Liu Ping also smelted iron in Dongguan, which can be regarded as giving a new life to such a poor county as Dongguan.
All the elders smiled, and the juniors had Cao Cao's instructions, and they all came over with wine glasses to toast Liu Ping, and the scene was very lively.
Only Cao Pi gritted his teeth unnoticed, Zijian was still too naΓ―ve, he did this article to praise his father, but he even praised Liu Ping together.
Who doesn't know that he did all those feats?
Liu Ping was overwhelmed by alcohol, and he couldn't parry so many people, and in the end, Cao Ang resolved the crisis for him.
After a group of juniors showed off their talents, Cao Cao was already slightly drunk, stood up and said with a smile: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, while everyone's interest is high, I will test you juniors." β
He took off a jade belt from his waist, held it in his hand, and said, "If anyone wins the first place, this jade belt will reward him." β
When the younger generations heard about it, they all geared up and won the first place, which could leave a deep impression on Cao Cao, and it would be of great benefit to join the army or politics in the future.
So everyone listened attentively to how Cao Cao came up with the exam questions.
"Chinese New Year's Eve is a peaceful day for the members of the group, so we will not use the martial arts test, but use the literary test," Cao Cao pondered for a moment: "My exam question is, 'How to break Pengcheng', each of you writes it down, and I will read it later." β
When Cao Pi heard this, he was immediately ecstatic, and he had just seen the siege strategy.
In this way, is this top prize still running?
Cao Pi held back his joy, and saw that all the brothers around him were full of confidence.
At this time, most of the Cao clans served in the army, and because Cao Cao was a person who couldn't let go of the scroll, even with his brothers, he usually read more military books and war strategies, and a group of juniors naturally followed suit.
If you want to talk about the strategy of attacking the city, there must be hundreds of methods in the ancient soldier's book, and you only need to choose a method that is comparable to the current situation to put it in, which is a perfect answer.
Looking at everyone's brains racking their brains to meditate, Cao Pi was secretly happy in his heart, if he only thought of a way to attack the city, it would not be a strategy that a strategist of the level of Xi Zhicai could offer.
He picked up a piece of bamboo, groaned a little, and began to write wildly.
Liu Ping naturally also got the bamboo pieces and pen and ink, and he frowned and pondered for a moment.
Since my father-in-law regarded this as an exam question, he was by no means asking a group of juniors who did not have much experience in commanding troops, and probably he already had the answer in his heart.
At this time, Pengcheng County was guarded by two fierce generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and there were 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city.
The newly recruited soldiers in Yanzhou have been assigned to various counties and counties to guard, so that Yanzhou is impregnable, but the remaining mobilized soldiers and horses are still the original 40,000 (of which 5,000 are guarding Dongguan, which has been replenished).
It is not so easy to attack a city with a garrison of 20,000 with 40,000 soldiers and horses.
You must know that at that time, it was not easy for the same 40,000 people to attack a Dongguan County that had no famous generals to defend and only 5,000 defenders.
