After worshipping Wu Zixu, everyone walked back again, and continued to talk about Wu Zixu and Qu Yuan along the way.

Jia Yuanen sighed, "It seems that the imperial power is not lower than the county, and all dynasties have respected Qu Yuan, I thought that after nearly a thousand years of edification, the people will be like this, and today is an eye-opener!" ”

"Master Jia knows why Wu Zixu is in front, but the dynasties have deliberately downplayed it," Li Xiaofei asked Jia Yuanen intentionally

Jia Yuanen shook his head, "It's hard to say, no king wants his subjects to follow Wu Zixu's example. ”

"Lord Jia, although Wu Zixu is the whip of the corpse King Chuping, he is still a loyal minister of Wu State, according to the following, Wu Zixu can only use martial arts and lack literary talent, so he was compared by Qu Yuan." Yan Ruohua also put forward his opinion.

"Qu Yuan's swan song for the ages, passed down from generation to generation, and the nine songs of Tianwen, summoning the soul of the homeland, every time I read these classics, it is fascinating."

"After all, the story of Qu Yuan and Chu is more moving, he was martyred in the river, and future generations will miss it, he can become a person like him, although he dies, why hate?"

Li Xiaofei clapped his hands, "Haha, it's very good, sure enough, after thousands of years of edification, everyone who reads wants to be Qu Yuan." ”

The rest of the people only said that Li Xiaofei praised them, and they all said humble words again and again.

Jia Yuanen sighed, "It's just to educate the people to be obedient people, and you can't take revenge like Wu Zixu." I think this Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, it may not be his intention, the whole story seems to have killed him. ”

Everyone looked at Jia Yuanen, a little shocked, thousands of years of sage books are all about Qu Yuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the water in the Miluo River, this Jia Taiwei actually said that Qu Yuan was murdered.

Li Xiaofei also became serious, "I have always felt that something is wrong, fish and shrimp don't eat zongzi leaves, not to mention that the zongzi leaves are tied up outside." According to the ancients, fish and shrimp were not allowed to eat Qu Yuan's body. ”

Jia Yuanen seemed to meet a bosom friend, "Yes, this bundle of zongzi is actually implying that Qu Yuan was tied up and thrown to the Miluo River to send it." At that time, King Huai died in the Qin State, and the people of insight in the Chu State wanted to take revenge, but some people were afraid that Qu Yuan would be reused again, so they killed him! ”

Zhou Dapeng also applauded, "Good story, good story, saying that the murder is a martyrdom in the water, in the name of a loyal minister, it is impossible to find out." This pen is wonderful, poisonous and wonderful! ”

As he spoke, everyone went up to the welcome building again, and at this time, the food on the table was changed again, Jinhua Taishou Yu Weizhong chuckled in his heart, and he was afraid that his savings for many years at this table of deer and sheep banquet would be gone.

Li Xiaofei patted Yu Weizhong, who was a little dazed, "Lord Yu, let you bother, as the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth, your banquet is so rich, I can't help but eat for three days in a row"

As soon as he heard that he was going to eat for three days in a row, Yu Weizhong almost didn't stand firm, Jia Yuanen smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down, "It's good that Lord Li and Marshal Zhou don't dislike it, today's banquet only talks about ancient friendship, not about state affairs, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, well, I think you're all hungry, don't be polite, just sit down and eat and drink!"

Halfway through eating and drinking, after drinking a jar of rice wine each, Xu Erhu asked an unexpected question.

"Master Li, Marshal Zhou, if you drank too much and fell to the ground with the wine jar just now, are you afraid? We've ambushed the Axe Men upstairs! ”

Jia Yuanen didn't have time to stop it, there was actually no ambush knife and axe hand upstairs, but Xu Erhu drank too much and liked to talk nonsense.

Zhou Dapeng pressed his waist with his left hand, and Li Xiaofei touched him with his toes, "Haha, General Xu is quick to talk!" This drinking does need someone to help us, so what are we afraid of? ”

Xu Erhu also laughed, his hand slid and the wine jar fell to the ground with a clang, and suddenly everyone held their breath and looked at the corners around them.

There was no knife and axe hand appeared, and there was no other situation, Li Xiaofei laughed, "General Xu wants to test the courage of our commander of the Southern Navy, not bad, I heard people talk about books when I was a child, and I said that the overlord of Chu gave Fan Hao a pig's trotter at the Hongmen banquet, and then I ate it myself, today I want to ask your country for two Jinhua hams, I don't know what Lord Jia and you think?" ”

"Good belly, Lord Yu, quickly send someone to fetch it, one for each person at the banquet, Jia also wants to open his eyes today!"

Yu Weizhong wanted to cry without tears, where did these people come to negotiate peace, they obviously wanted to eat him until he went bankrupt. But the boss spoke, and he had to go bankrupt.

The ham taken here is very particular. First, the whole ham is soaked in water for three days, the water is changed once or twice a day, and then the surface is scraped and the grease stains are scraped, and then the bones are dug out with a chisel.

At this point, it was taken again

The winter melon, which is about two feet long, is washed, and then the ham shoots and dried red dates are stuffed into it, and it is steamed in a steamer.

Yu Weizhong has been a Jinhua Taishou for several years, and at the beginning of his tenure, several local landlords and businessmen invited guests to dinner.

On the way to buy ham, the master said in the back, "Master, you have to tell Mrs. Jia after eating this time, otherwise the tables, chairs and benches at your house will have to be repaid!" ”

"Go, go, bring the deed of my house, and give it to the adults first," Yu Weizhong couldn't help but cover his chest as he spoke, it really hurt.

When the fourteen hams were brought up to the welcome building, everyone was also eye-opening, staring at the fragrant winter melon left and right.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, this winter melon is both tableware and edible, it has long been soaked in the salty taste of ham, Jinhua people really know how to eat it" Jia Yuanen dug up the winter melon with a spoonful, and the aroma in the room was stronger

The rest of the people also followed Jia Yuanen to dig up the winter melon with a spoon and eat it, Li Xiaofei looked at Yu Weizhong, "Why doesn't Lord Yu eat it?" Come on, come on, go get one for Lord Yu! ”

The master muttered in the back, "Now there is no half of the wing!" ”

Yu Weizhong had to reluctantly smile and said, "I often eat in the next, and I am tired of eating, so you should eat first, and the villain will wait."

Li Xiaofei was so shrewd, he immediately knew what was going on, so he took out five gold leaves from his arms, "Lord Yu, do me a favor, my brothers in my camp haven't tasted this ham yet, please help me buy six and I'll take it back when the time comes." ”

Yu Weizhong's eyes were green, and the rest of the people also looked over, this is also an official, Li Xiaofei is a gold leaf as soon as he makes a move.

Yu Weizhong waved his hand again and again, "Where can I collect the money from your guests, these six hams are wrapped in me!" ”

Li Xiaofei deliberately glared, "Look down on me, don't you?" It's too little, isn't it? Come on, come on, I'll add money! Then he took out a handful of gold beads from his pocket and put them on the table

Yu Weizhong's hand waved even more, "Xia Guan didn't mean that, it's just that we can't accept Lord Li's money!" ”

Li Xiaofei slapped the table, "If you don't accept it today, you have to accept it, if you don't accept it, you will deliberately sabotage the peace discussion!" ”

Jia Yuanen also stopped, and glanced at Yu Weizhong, "Why is Yu Taishou so ignorant, go and thank Lord Li for his kindness, collect the things, and do the errand for Lord Li!" ”

Yu Weizhong thanked him for accepting the gold leaves and gold beads, and Li Xiaofei smiled at this time, "Haha, not bad, yes, I love to turn war into jade silk!" Master Jia, this Jinhua ham is really good, in the future, Li will return to his hometown, but he wants to do the business of this Jinhua ham! ”

Master Li laughed, Lord Li will be the prince of Wandai in the future, and someone will send the ham to the door when the time comes. Come on, come on, drink, get drunk today! ”

"Okay, get drunk and rest, in this troubled world, there are not many days like this, there is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow, haha, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Zhou Dapeng also raised the wine altar and invited everyone to drink.

On this day, except for Li Xiaofei, all the thirteen people who came to negotiate peace were drunk, and Yu Weizhong and the officials in Jinhua City served all night.

During this period, Yu Weizhong was grateful to Li Xiaofei, but he didn't understand Li Xiaofei's motives: "Lord Li can be regarded as saving the lives of my family, otherwise I would have gone bankrupt in this reception!" It's just that I don't understand why Master Li and Yu have never known each other in their lives, so why they want to help me generously! ”

"I love to make friends, and I love to help others, and it is not easy to be an official, and I see that when you walk by the river, men, women, and children respect you, especially a child who asks you to help him lift his trousers, such a thing cannot be pretended. I respect you for being a good official and a clean official, and I can't bear to let you go bankrupt in order to receive us, and it just so happens that I don't lack money. ”

"Oh, I thought Master Li was going to be"

Without waiting for Yu Weizhong to finish speaking, Li Xiaofei smiled, "Haha, do you think I'm going to buy you?" Just your low wall, my camp of dead soldiers climbed in three or two times. People don't necessarily have to calculate everything, it's not too early, remember to buy me ham tomorrow"

After Li Xiaofei finished speaking, he went back to his room to rest, Yu Weizhong couldn't help but fall into deep thought, he always felt that all this was not real, it was like a dream.

On the second day, peace talks really began, and Li Xiaofei did not hide it, and immediately proposed to let the two sides write down their respective conditions and exchange them with each other, so that the two sides could come to peace talks on this basis.

This is undoubtedly the hole cards as soon as they come up, Jia Yuanen was a little stunned, but then he reacted that Li Xiaofei was indeed sincere in negotiating peace.

In fact, before the peace negotiation, the twelve people of Wei had already prepared a peace agreement, and at this time, it was up to Li Xiao

Fei Zhou Dapeng didn't agree. Yan Ruohua handed their terms to Li Xiaofei, who looked at the terms and snickered.

Zhou Dapeng took out a list and handed it to Jia Yuanen, and Jia Yuanen's face changed when he saw it.

It was too much of a loss, too much of a loss, and I never expected that the conditions of the South China Navy would be so relaxed.

The conditions put forward by the Southern Navy were only to use the road to transport grain and troops to the west to attack Jingzhou, and the Jiangnan region that was originally defeated only retained the three places of Sanjiangkou and Zheliling Xianxia Pass, and the rest of the city's population returned all the money and grain to the Wei State.

The terms of Wei were Jinhua to the south of the Sanjiang Estuary to the Southern Navy, and the north to the Wei State, and there were some terms for ransom and land.

Jia Yuanen showed everyone the list in his hand, and Xu Erhu immediately asked, "How is it possible?" How could you be so kind, and return the place you worked so hard to give us back, not only the city, but also the money and food! I don't believe it! This makes so much sense! ”

"There is no small reason, but there is a big reason. We don't want Wei to run out of money and food to support it so soon and then collapse, which will not do us any good in the South China Sea, it will only be cheap Cui Ju for nothing! Is this reason enough! Zhou Dapeng also took over the terms in Li Xiaofei's hand.

"Aren't you afraid that we will betray the alliance after you cross the border from Jiangnan?" Yan Ruohua also smiled

"If Lord Yan had seen the combat power of the Southern Navy, I believe you would not say that. What's more, our current common enemy is Cui Ju, and if Wei and the South China Sea fight, I don't need to say more about the final outcome. Your terms speak for themselves! Zhou Dapeng put down the list in his hand

Jia Yuanen stretched out his hand and motioned to Yan Ruohua and Xu Erhu not to say any more, "Since Lord Li and Marshal Zhou are all such free and easy people, what else do we have to discuss, just fulfill the peace agreement according to the terms of the two." I don't think you have any opinions! ”

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison, "We are willing to conclude a peace treaty and form an alliance with the Southern Navy!" ”

Li Xiaofei stretched out his hand at this time, "Slow, this peace agreement has a time limit, and we only give Wei two and a half years in the South China Sea!" ”

Jia Yuanen hesitated for a moment, "Okay, Master Li is worthy of being a gentleman, and the Wei State will definitely not betray the alliance in the past two and a half years." ”

"Okay, I also hope that Wei can solve some problems within two and a half years, and only a close match will there be a long-term peace!"

The peace agreement was initially reached, and on the third day, the two sides discussed the marching route and some customs clearance rules, and each left with dozens of pages of peace terms.

The six battalions outside the city were obviously not enough to eat six hams, and Li Xiaofei sent fifty people into the city with a few truckloads of money to buy all the Jinhua hams. Yu Weizhong's master Wang Yuemeng changed his career to the ham business.

Liu Mingge and fifty soldiers on the Bashu side escorted Liu Jian all the way out of Shu again, and every three or five days they would encounter a defeated army or a bandit to fight.

Fortunately, Liu Mingge's swordsmanship was first-class, and except for three people who fell from the cliff and died along the way, the rest were all safe and sound.

After walking for more than a month, he finally arrived in Ba County, Liu Mingge remembered Tan Banshan, but he was not sure if this person was still alive, so he asked a few villagers.

Under the question, Liu Mingge was overjoyed, this Tan Banshan is still alive, and he is still the Taishou of Bajun.

Now there can be a place to run, Liu Mingge led everyone to Bajun City, but was blocked out of the city gate.

There are 300 soldiers at the gate of the city, which is also the reason why Ba County can avoid military disasters, Tan Banshan is strict about people in the past, and anyone whose whereabouts are suspicious will either be closed or arrested and sent to prison.

Liu Mingge remembered that Li Xiaofei was blocked under the city of Bajun back then, and knew that it was useless to report his home.

At this time, the soldiers who were checking asked Liu Mingge to hand over the long sword on his back, and Liu Mingge had an idea.

Liu Mingge deliberately beat the two soldiers who were being checked, and they were immediately surrounded, Liu Jian and they were about to make a move, but Liu Mingge signaled them not to do anything.

Liu Mingge released the water throughout the whole process, and was escorted into the city after a while. After entering the city, I met Tan Banshan and led people to check at the inn.

Tan Banshan was taken aback, but he was afraid of admitting his mistake, so he just stared at it a few times.

Liu Mingge took advantage of his luck at this time to shake off the rope, took back the long sword from the soldier next to him with his left hand, and jumped in front of Tan Banshan: "Tan Banshan, don't you recognize me, Liu Mingge?" ”

Tan Banshan immediately determined that this was Liu Mingge, and hurriedly stopped the soldiers who were about to move, "This is Lord Liu, don't panic!" ”

Tan Banshan pulled Liu Mingge to go back to the palace, Liu Mingge pointed outside the city, "Are there still big nobles outside?" Master Tan must not be lazy! ”
