Chapter 14 Talk to the Heart
Although the fat sheep was delivered to the door, how to go under the knife still has to be considered, especially since this fat sheep is actually a big monster in sheep's clothing.
Pan Xiaogu was worried about how to get the most benefits, and it was at this time that Pan Er appeared.
"Master, the meal is ready."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please move to the inner hall, the grass people have prepared wine and food, and express the gratitude of my Pan family." Pan Xiaogu took the opportunity to change the topic and leave time for himself to think.
Pan Xiaogu led the three adults to the banquet in front, there are no cherished dishes on the table, similar to the peasant dishes of later generations, if it is the original historical Tang Dynasty, you can also interpret a Tang on the tip of the tongue or something, but unfortunately according to the time, it is the end of the Northern Song Dynasty at this time, and the Chinese have begun to publish recipes and food cheats in this era...
"The wild people of Pan's hometown, they can't make any delicious food, and they still hope that the three adults Haihan." After taking the seat, Pan Xiaogu first picked up his wine glass and stood up
"On behalf of the grass people, the Pan family first salutes the three adults, thank you for your rescue, and the grass people do it first!" After speaking, Pan Xiaogu raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, the wine prepared at the banquet was brewed with miscellaneous grains, and the degree was higher than that of beer. All. No. Be. Affair!
"Okay, happy!" Song Jiang took the lead in applauding, and then picked up his wine glass and drank it all.
"Gentlemen, eat vegetables!" After toasting the first glass of wine, Pan Xiaogu greeted him as the host, and before he had eaten two bites of the food, the Marquis of Cheng Duyu jumped out again
"The boy of the Pan family is stingy, how can you drink such a small wine glass, isn't it afraid that I, Cheng, will drink all your wine? Quickly change to a large bowl. Cheng Duyu glanced at the wine glass on the table with disdain and shouted loudly.
This time, he didn't deliberately pretend to be blackfaced, just look at his appearance, he looks like Zhang Fei, and he looks like a demon in wine!
"Yes, yes, it's the grass people who are negligent, how can a hero like Cheng Duyu Marquis use a small cup and exchange it for a big bowl like his daughter's family!" Pan Er, who was waiting on the side, heard this, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to get the big bowl.
"Brother Pan looks down on his brother and Zhao Junhou?" Song Jiang teased on the side, and Pan Xiaogu realized that he had inadvertently scolded these two at this time
"All big bowls!" Pan Xiaogu was so aggrieved, he couldn't help but yell, it's really tiring to communicate with the ancients!
After the big bowl was replaced, Pan Xiaogu picked up his wine bowl and stood up again
"The people of the countryside don't understand etiquette, if there is any offense in the words, I hope you don't blame the adults, Pan will punish himself with three bowls!" After saying that, Pan Xiaogu drank three bowls of wine in a row, and not a drop was spilled, all of them were drunk cleanly, since it is difficult to communicate in language, then we are good at it!
"Okay, the boy of the Pan family is decent, all the people present are in the army, why bother to behave like those faint ministers in the court!" Cheng Duyuhou's attitude changed greatly, and he became cordial all of a sudden.
"Flying generals speak carefully!" Zhao Ji hurriedly reminded when he heard this.
It turns out that Cheng Duyu Hou is a flying general, but will Dragon City fly general?
"Everyone sitting here is my Anxi's son, I'm afraid of a bird!" Although Cheng Duyu Marquis was not afraid, he changed the topic and no longer mentioned the matter of the court, which made Pan Xiaogu, who pricked up his ears, very disappointed, but the atmosphere of the banquet was obviously silent.
It seems that Tang Ting is very unpopular in Anxi, I don't know what the reason is.
"Come, ladies and gentlemen, let's have another bowl." Of course, Pan Xiaogu couldn't let the banquet break up unhappily like this, so he quickly opened the topic, and after three rounds of wine, the atmosphere became warm again.
The wine table is indeed the most suitable occasion in the world to pull in the relationship between people, and the relationship between the staggered people is unconsciously pulled in. After a few jars of wine, Pan Xiaogu can already call the three 'adults' brothers.
Pan Xiaogu felt that the heat was almost over, and quietly changed the topic.
"Three elder brothers, just now the family came to report that the battlefield has been cleaned up, thanks to the courage of the three elder brothers, they have killed more than 200 Turks in total." Pan Xiaogu cleared his throat and said the key point, "My family also caught more than 100 war horses on the battlefield, and I have ordered my family to take care of them and take them away when my brothers return." The three of them didn't say anything when they heard this, but just nodded in agreement.
These horses Pan Xiaogu actually wanted to stay, but after all, this was the trophy of the other three, and without these three people, they would not have captured so many horses. If he hides, he will inevitably leave a very bad impression on the three of them, and the gains outweigh the losses, and Pan Xiaogu's goal is something else.
"Three elder brothers, the younger brother has a reluctant request, the Turks still have a lot of weapons left, and there is a shortage of weapons in the younger brother's clan, can you leave these weapons to the younger brother?"
"What else should I ask, no problem, all these weapons will be given to you, and I will leave you ten good horses!" Cheng Duyu Hou was happy, from one extreme to another, and he was obviously Zhao Ji's subordinate, but he didn't take his boss in his eyes at all, and Zhao Ji didn't think it was angry, which made Pan Xiaogu feel that his identity was not simple.
"So Brother Pan agreed to join my Tocharian army?" Song Jiang heard the meaning of Pan Xiaogu's words, and hurriedly asked.
"Little brother has thought about it, my Pan family wants to gain a foothold here, and it is indispensable to rely on the Tocharian army and your elder brothers, so it is more convenient to simply join the army to seek an official position!" Of course, I only need to rely on you now, and maybe you will rely on me in the future.
"Haha, you are a boy from the Pan family, you still have a lot of ghost thoughts!" Cheng Duyu Hou laughed and scolded, but he didn't seem to be dissatisfied.
"See, Marquis?" Song Jiang asked Zhao Ji for instructions
"Since Xiaogu has the heart to serve the country, I will naturally welcome the Tocharian army, and from today onwards, you will be the commander of my Tocharian army." Because Pan Xiaogu didn't have a table, Zhao Ji had to call him by his name directly. Don't ask why there is no table, do you have one?
"Congratulations Brother Pan, you and I will be colleagues in the future," Song Jiang said happily, "Haha, Brother Pan became a commander as soon as he joined the army, but it took nearly ten years to be a brother, and he became a big deal!" ”
"Okay, little brother did it!" Pan Xiaogu pretended to be happy to make a bowl of wine, but he was actually very disdainful in his heart
Hehe, the commander of the Xiang army is not the same as your commander, the Xiang army is a militia, not a regular establishment.
After putting down the wine bowl, Pan Xiaogu sighed and said, "It's a pity that there is a shortage of soldiers and armor in the junior brother's clan, and the captured Turkic weapons can only alleviate one or two. There is no fierce general like the three elder brothers in the clan, but I am afraid that in wartime, I will fall into the prestige of the Tocharian army! "The prestige of the fart, Pan Xiaogu doesn't even know what the Tocharian army has in battle, he just takes the opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Brother Song's concern is not unreasonable, do you see the military marquis?" Song Jiang pretended to be embarrassed and asked Zhao Ji for instructions, in fact, they had discussed before to arm the Pan family with old weapons in stock, but this kind of work of buying people's hearts had to be done by the boss.
"I remember that there are some reserve weapons in the treasury of the city of containment, so it is better to transport them to Panjiabao first and use them for Xiaogu Cheng's army." Zhao Ji thought for a while and said
"What the military marquis said is very good, what do you think, Brother Pan?" Song Jiang praised loudly
"That's just right, thank you." Pan Xiaogu thanked him
"Pan family boy!" Cheng Duyu Hou also intervened at this time
"What advice do you have?"
"I don't think there is anyone in your family who knows martial arts, and your family doesn't know how to fight in formation. I have a nephew who is the captain of Huozhou Zhechong Mansion, and he is responsible for the training of soldiers, and I will send him to be your deputy to help you train soldiers! ”
Pan Xiaogu knew that the other party was planting cronies and had the intention to refuse, but at present, he really needed someone with strong martial arts skills, so he had to agree to it, and at the same time, a new idea rose from his heart
It seems that Panjiabao is not suitable as a main base...
