Forty-eighth

The right of two evils, the one is light, and the one is leisurely

Time passed like water, and everyone in the Li family left with grain, grass, salt, and Li Xin's promise, everything as if it had never happened, leaving no trace. The liquidation of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou has come to an end, and the rest is to confront the troops of the Yellow Turban Army on both sides of the Yellow River, the progress of the Han court is not smooth, and Emperor Ling has the intention to transfer Li Xin to participate in the attack, but it is strongly opposed by the two Kwantan and Guanxi, and the reason is high-sounding: "Jizhou is initially decided, and the army needs to defend it." At the same time, it can give enough pressure to the Yellow Turbans so that they do not dare to act rashly. ”

The two major groups of Kanto and Kansai made the same sound for the first time, and even Emperor Han Ling had to give in. Why would they allow Li Xin to be stationed in Jizhou, aren't they afraid that Li Xin will take the opportunity to take Jizhou for himself?

It's nothing more than the lesser of two evils. If Li Xin is allowed to sit in the capital division, then it is very likely that he will be another Duke of Qi Huan, who will respect the king and conquer the king, so as to gain enough advantages, and finally seize the power of the world like Wang Mang. And because Li Xin won the hearts of the people in the fight against foreigners, and the name of benevolence and righteousness became famous in the country, he believed that he could sit firmly in the country. At the same time, even if Li Xin does not do this, then the great achievement of completely extinguishing the Yellow Turban Rebellion will also allow Li Xin to receive a very high reward. But it's different if you don't tune Li Xin, even if Li Xin does make outstanding contributions, it's easy to do, isn't the state giving him the command? As long as the marquis is fine, it will not expand his territory. Besides, Li Xin's reputation is not good, so you can't use too insidious means, and it is obviously impossible to secretly control Jizhou, which will ruin Li Xin's reputation. Under the melon field, I believe that Li Xin will be reined in, so he will leave an opportunity.

Li Xin also understands this, so he naturally enjoys a rare leisure, and his troops also take turns to rest and train, and strive to maintain the best condition. And he himself is naturally busy, preparing the meal he promised. Cai Yan and his two sons and daughters were also brought to Guangzong. Jizhou Xinding, why is this so? This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Just said that two days later, in the evening, all the civil and military came to the backyard of Li Xin's residence, the bright moon was in the sky, and everyone was waiting for Li Xin to show his cooking skills. After everyone sat down, Guo Jia smiled and said, "I don't know how Brother Yicheng's craftsmanship is?" It shouldn't be hard to swallow, right? If that were the case, I wouldn't have made you compensate like that. The tone seemed to regret, and after speaking, he glanced at Li Xin with his eyes, meaning that it is up to you below!

Li Xin not only felt that Guo Jia was rude, but felt very kind. Guo Jia said this, in fact, for Li Xin's sake, if it is really difficult to eat, I believe that with this foreshadowing, Guo Jia will take the responsibility on his head, so that Li Xin and everyone will not be suspicious because of such a trivial matter; If Li Xin is really a master of cooking, then he can also change the conversation and praise Li Xin, and at the same time highlight that Li Xin has never cooked, so that everyone will look down on Li Xin and die for such a lord. In order to make the same agreement as a joke with his subordinates, he practiced his cooking skills and made it carefully, so I believe that he must be more unambiguous in front of major events. In the future, there will be no rabbits and dead dogs, and there will be no such thing as birds hiding their bows, and everyone will get the benefits they deserve.

Li Xin asked the maid to bring out the food from the kitchen and distribute it to each person's table. There are a total of six dishes, everyone thinks it is fragrant when they see it, but Li Xin didn't speak, he had to swallow his saliva, Zhang Fei saw the food, his stomach suddenly felt empty, and he wanted to eat directly, and he was afraid that the people around him would laugh at it, and the food was really not enough, it felt like a few bites, for fear that other people would be dissatisfied with it, after all, where is there such a reason for hospitality, so he said: "I said third brother, what is the trouble?" Such a little bit is not enough for a few bites, so let's do it, there is nothing else, there should always be meat, how about bringing me a few catties of cooked meat? ”

Everyone saw that the amount of food was not enough, but they didn't say much, Li Xin cooked by himself, so many people's meals naturally couldn't be completely made, just have a meaning, but also agreed with Zhang Fei's words, these are too little, there should be something else to eat.

Li Xin explained: "The six dishes in front of me are just appetizers, and the main dishes will arrive after a while. ”

Zhang Fei was silent, but Xi Zhicai began to coax again: "I said, you make the dishes yourself, it doesn't hurt to have less, but you have to bring up the wine after all, right?" You don't want to say that the wine is also made by you, so there is not much! Xi Zhicai quipped, in fact, it is to change the topic and divert everyone's attention from food.

Li Xin said: "Today's wine is a rare wine, guaranteed to satisfy everyone, but this wine is a bit strong, so first serve a few dishes, let everyone cushion, save the time to drink uncomfortable." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, isn't it just a few dishes! Look at mine. Zhang Fei didn't taste it carefully, he ate it all in a few bites, and then said vaguely: "Shanti, ask for it widely." Looking at Zhang Fei's appearance, everyone laughed, enlivening the slightly embarrassing atmosphere. For the sake of the third brother, Zhang Fei also fought hard.

Of course, Li Xin borrowed the donkey from the slope and gave an order, and his subordinates brought several large jars of wine, and after the seal was opened, the aroma of wine overflowed. The crowd had never smelled such wine. Poured into the bowl, there is no turbidity of the wine that has been drunk before, but like jade liquid elixir, clear and transparent, the entrance is sweet at first, but then a spicy breath spreads from the mouth to the stomach, it feels hot and spicy, but it is very comfortable, and there is a faint aroma of rice in the aftertaste, which is really a masterpiece in the world. Compared with the restraint of the literati, the generals all shouted in unison: "Good wine!" Wine! ”

Although Gao Shun didn't stick to the wine, he felt that the aroma of the wine was much better than other wines, so he said: "Dare to ask who made this wine?" What's the name? ”

Li Xin said: "I asked people to make this wine, and it has not yet been named. ”

Xun Yu took a side dish, tasted the wine slowly, and said, "How about calling it 'heroic drunk'?" Such a fine wine, only heroes and heroes can be worthy, how can those ordinary people be worthy of enjoying such a fine wine? Xun Yu has something to say, since only heroes and heroes can enjoy it, then all the heroes and heroes here are heroes, so the wine is drunk by heroes and heroes, so the owner of the wine should be the owner of heroes and heroes.

When Li Xin saw this scene, he nodded secretly in his heart: "It's worthy of being a human spirit." There is something wrong with my own approach, although it is for the good of everyone, but it is still not in accordance with the rules. But fortunately, with the help of the brothers, I believe that after today, everyone will be even more desperate. Then he said, "If you have good wine, how can you be without meat?" Someone roast the lamb! ”
