Chapter 1377: Banquet
Outside the county seat of Wenxi, twenty miles.
Fei Qian finally saw Lu Bu and Pei Jun coming together.
Human rights.
It seems to be changing, but it hasn't changed.
But human nature has not changed from beginning to end.
People always just want to see what they want to see, just like reading the Water Margin, many people only see a large bowl of eating meat and drinking, and roar when they see injustice, but they often turn a blind eye to the satire and the revelation of human nature in the book.
Just like Fei Qian's initial cognition of Lu Bu, at the beginning, he may have stayed at eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl, but this is really Lu Bu?
Lu Bu was born in the border, but he was not completely ill-versed in writing and ink, otherwise he would not have been hired by Ding Yuan as the main bookkeeper, maybe he was not so proficient, but it should not be a problem to deal with ordinary documents. Lu Bu said that he was a Han Chinese, but because the border of Bingzhou had long been in a state of mixing Hu and Han people, Lu Bu also had a lot of Hu habits.
For example, killing Ding Yuan and killing Dong Zhuo......
This is not a big deal for the Hu people, just like the head wolf in the wolf pack, while maintaining absolute dominance and supreme power, he must always accept the challenge from the young male wolf, if he wins, he can continue to maintain the position of the head wolf, and if he loses, he will die with nothing.
But for the Han people, Lu Bu's behavior is equivalent to betraying the master.
No one likes a backlid.
Cao Cao's question at that time was not actually hesitating, but tentative......
After all, Liu Bei and Lu Bu have been together for a while, although there are some contradictions and unpleasantness, but on the same hand, Liu Bei took in Lu Bu when he was stuck, and Lu Bu also resolved Liu Bei's crisis when Yuan Shu came to attack, and Cao Cao's suspicion would allow Lu Bu and Liu Bei to come together openly?
Liu Bei's righteous and stern explanation was just a forced move under the fence, and Liu Bei also saw that Cao Cao couldn't tolerate Lu Bu, so he pushed the boat along the river to fulfill Cao Cao's intentions, but he was infamous for a long time.
Maybe this is the reason why Liu Bei pretended to be crazy and stupid, and he had to leave Cao Cao alive or dead?
Fei Qian didn't know, but Fei Qian knew that today, he had to tolerate Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu had two hearts, Fei Qian still had to smile and eat silently.
The reason is simple.
Therefore, when he saw Lu Bu, Fei Qian had already adjusted to the brightest smile, and with the fullest emotion, he threw the stirrup and dismounted, and shouted: "Brother Lu!" ”
"Brother Fei Xian!" Lu Bu didn't think about it, he also greeted him, held Fei Qian's arm tightly, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
However, Yang Xiu's brows, who were following Fei Qian, moved, and he glanced at Fei Qian and Lu Bu slightly, looking at the two of them talking about some things in the past in harmony, although there was a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyebrows.
Yang Xiu suddenly noticed something strange, and when he looked at it, he saw a middle-aged scribe behind Lu Bu arching his hand slightly towards him......
Yang Xiu bowed slightly, and also returned the salute, looking gentle and elegant.
The two of them seemed to exchange some information between each other, and as if nothing had happened, they silently followed Fei Qian and Lu Bu......
Tai Shici was on the side, saying that a banquet had been set up in Wenxi County.
The banquet was of a very high standard, and in addition to Zhong Mingding's food, there were also various kinds of meat and new dishes cooked with fat and fat specially arranged by Fei Qian. Not only Lu Bu personally, but also for all the soldiers brought by Lu Bu, although they are not necessarily as delicate as Lu Bu, but the large pieces of meat, large bowls of wine, and meat soup and steamed buns are enough, but they are also happy.
At the beginning of the banquet, Fei Qian invited Lu Bu to take a seat, Lu Bu couldn't refuse, so he sat down, but Tai Shici, who was at the head of the head, couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to stand up angrily to say something, but was held down by Huang Xu, so he could only snort and give up.
Chen Gong glanced slightly, then lowered his eyelids, looked at the dishes on the table, and was silent.
On the table of Lu Bu and Fei Qian were twelve dishes, Tai Shici and Pei Jun were eight bean plates, and so was Chen Gong, and the rest of the people who sat down to accompany them were only six plates at most, and even four were even farther away.
After all, Fei Qian and Lu Bu's identities are both at the rank of liehou, so on formal occasions, it is etiquette to use twelve dishes, and Tai Shi Ci Pei Jun is regarded as the head of a county, and they are both ministers of two thousand stones, and Chen Gong is regarded as an over-standard hospitality......
At first, the banquet food in the Han Dynasty was very embarrassing, either cooked or boiled, either stewed or simmered, the dried meat and the meat were dancing together, and the salt and salt were flying together. As for the mash or something, it is even more sour, although it belongs to the same batch, but the taste, it can only be said to seek common ground while reserving differences.
But today's banquet obviously does not dare to say that there is no one who will come in the future, but there is no one before. Although the dishes may still be from the Han Dynasty, the methods are very different......
Eggs of chicks, dogs? Ma Xiang, fried fish and cut liver, sheep drowned chicken cold, Tongma sour wine, bent arms, shy bean dumplings, wild goose egg custard, white abalone and sweet gourd, hot sorghum and broiled, boiled courgette, salted fine siad.
The Tao is all high-quality, and the plates are all delicacies.
Lu Bu was obviously hungry, and his eyes lit up when he saw such a delicacy, his hands did not stop, and the wine was poured and drunk, like a wind and clouds, and after sweeping a piece, he could be regarded as slowing down, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "This...... This, if there is rudeness, I hope that the virtuous brother will not blame ......"
"Where, brother likes it......" Fei Qian smiled, while eating without a pair, he said, "Brother came to Hedong, so ...... place in Luoyang"
Lu Bu held a glass of wine, was silent for a moment, glanced at Yang Xiu who was below, and said, "I left some soldiers...... Someone has already been sent to inform the people of the Yang family...... "In fact, Lu Bu not only informed Yang Biao, but also informed Cao Cao, as for whether these two people will fight, or discuss what relevant distribution plan, Lu Bu does not know."
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
"Why don't you see Wenyuan?" Lu Bu looked around for a moment, turned his head and asked.
Fei Qian smiled and said: "Wen Yuan appeared in the party, the military affairs are heavy, and he can't get out, so Tuo asked Wen Hou for ...... guilt."
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times, then raised his glass to invite, and said: "What is the one who is not guilty, haha, Wen Yuan said this...... Drinking, drinking......"
Fei Qian also raised his glass and drank together.
In the following time, the two of them almost had a tacit understanding, and did not continue to say anything about the current people or things, but pulled out the scenery and customs of the side plug and the customs of various places to say, Lu Bu talked loudly at the table, Fei Qian also nodded frequently, and made a few funny words from time to time, but it was just right, and after a while, Lu Bu got drunk, staggered out of the banquet hall, and went to the temporary post house to rest......
………………………………
Wenxi Mansion Yahou Hall.
Fei Qian also drank a lot, but because he was in control, he didn't get drunk.
Fei Qian took the warm face towel handed over by Huang Xu, covered his face, rubbed it a few times, and then drank a few sips of sobering soup, and said, "How are Wen Hou's subordinates arranged?" ”
Huang Xu took the face towel and said in a low voice: "They are all placed in the school field in the city. ”
Fei Qian nodded. I don't know why, Gao Shun didn't follow Lu Bu to the banquet, but was with ordinary soldiers on the school ground, but Wei Xu and others accompanied Lu Bu.
Huang Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "Wenhou...... Wen Hou doesn't seem to be in high spirits today......"
Fei Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you see it?" ”
"Wen Hou seems to be very drunk on ......the surface," Huang Xu said in a low voice, "but I saw that when he left, although he pretended to stumble, he was still calm...... It's not like a drunken person......"
Fei Qian lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "Got it." ”
Huang Xu also silently stepped aside, his duty was not to give advice to Fei Qian, but it was his responsibility to tell Fei Qian some of the things he had observed.
Fei Qian sat silently beside the table, holding his head in contemplation.
To be honest, this meeting was not as good as expected, but it was not too bad, if Lu Bu had bowed his head at the beginning, Fei Qian might have felt quite surprised.
What Lu Bu is doing now is in line with the impression he has always had, but it also means that Lu Bu is still a rather unstable factor.
As a leader, you can't think about things in the same way as a proletarian.
Rules are rules, in the absence of absolute necessity, Fei Qian is not willing to violate the rules at will, at least on the surface is to show compliance with the rules, so that people can know what can be done and what can not be done, if they don't follow the rules, how can they ask lowly people to obey the rules?
Historically, whenever leaders start to disobey the rules and start to break the rules wantonly, it often causes great social turmoil.
Fidive is not ready for these turbulent ......
When they were in Luoyang before, Fei Qian and Lu Bu were called brothers, which seemed to be equal, and now they are also called brothers, and they seem to be equal, but Fei Qian knows that the word equality for everyone, even in later generations, is still a joke. People are born unequal, appearance, parents, etc. are all sources of inequality, not to mention that human nature itself is not poor but unequal.
Everyone is poor together, and they can be poor and happy together.
But now that there is an obvious asymmetry, everyone may not be able to continue to be happy. Therefore, more means are needed to check and balance, such as rules, such as taxation, such as imperial examinations, and so on.
But what rules are used to bind Lu Bu?
Tie the tiger has to be in a hurry?
There is one more thing, Chen Gong followed Lu Bu over.
No matter how much Chen Gong tossed before, it had nothing to do with Fei Qian, after all, it was not on Fei Qian's territory, but now it is different, there are too many doubts in this Chen Gong, so much that Fei Qian still can't figure it out......
Historically, Chen Gong and Cao Cao are old acquaintances, otherwise Cao Cao would not have threatened Chen Gong's wife when he killed Chen Gong, cough cough, it seems a little weird to say this, but that's the truth.
At the same time, Chen Gong is not the pavilion chief who captured and released Cao, and his relationship with Cao Cao should start from the time when Liu Dai died and Bao Xin and others recommended Cao Cao to serve as the pastor of Yanzhou.
Well, the death of Bao Xin......
Fei Qian gently tapped on the table a few times.
Let's assume what would have happened if Bao Xin hadn't died?
When Bao Xin commanded the army, Cao Cao was probably still guarding the city gate, so in the army, Bao Xin was more authoritative than Cao Cao, at least stronger than a large group of people from the Cao family and the Xiahou clan. So if Bao Xin is not dead, Cao Cao's military power will not be monopolies!
So Cao Cao deliberately killed Bao Xin?
Fei Qian thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
There is this possibility, but the possibility is not very large, Cao Cao is at most pushing the boat down the river, or he is not saving when he sees death, the battlefield is changing rapidly, the result may be completely different in the morning and half a moment in the evening, if Cao Cao was desperately rescued, maybe he could also save Bao Xin's life, but ......
So this incident caused Chen Gong and Cao Cao to start centrifugation? Because after all, it was Chen Gong who suggested that Bao Xin welcome Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou, as for the rest of the matter, everyone knows about it.
Is Chen Gong here to continue to assist Lu Bu?
If that's the case......
Fei Qian tapped lightly on the table, like a woodpecker knocking on the trunk of a tree......
………………………………
Of course, Lu Bu was not drunk.
And sober.
Lu Bu rubbed his face, a little uncomfortable. The uncomfortable feeling was not physical, but mental, and he seemed to have a feeling that this might be the last time he would drink with Fei Qian as a brother.
Although he was smiling, he was not comfortable drinking.
Lu Bu even regretted coming here a little.
If you are stumped to embark on this path, are you destined to have fewer and fewer brothers and friends?
"...... Wenhou" Chen Gong sat down and said calmly, "When Wenhou took his seat during the banquet, General Taishi was dissatisfied......
Lu Bu closed his eyes, and said slowly after half a sound: "I know." "Lu Bu is not blind, how can he not see. The question is, what if you see it? Jumping off to save face on the spot?
Lu Bu is already nearly forty years old, even if he is a hot-blooded and reckless teenager, at this age, after experiencing so many things, he has naturally gradually learned some tactfulness, but tactfulness does not mean that his heart is as calm as water.
Chen Gong continued: "Marquis Wen, between General Zhengxi's words, there is no arrangement, Wen ......"
"Needless to say!" Lu Bu frowned tightly and said, "A certain person has not yet been reduced to begging for food!" ”
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, arched his hand and said, "So...... Wen Hou rested for the time being, and a certain retired ......"
"Hmm." Lu Bu closed his eyes, but he was still frowning.
After a long time, the oil in the oil lamp finally burned out, and after a few flickering lights, it went out. Lu Bu sat in the dim shadows, motionless, except for a long sigh......
