Of course, the big war needs attention, but I also have to pass it. So when the situation in Xuzhou was a little more stable, Zhao Feng proposed to Liu Bei to march to Qingzhou and Yuzhou.

"What the waves say is true, but now that winter is approaching and the roads are frozen, let's wait for the spring flowers to bloom next year." Liu Bei listened to Zhao Feng's suggestion and replied. Zhao Feng was also a little speechless, and there were many times after he crossed over, he still ignored some simple problems, such as forgetting that the ancient roads were all dirt this time, and the road conditions were very poor in winter, which was not suitable for the army to move at all.

"You still have to pay attention!" Zhao Feng realized that being a traverser this time does not mean that everything is prophetic, and some details still need to be learned slowly. However, winter is also beneficial, several groups of yellow scarves in Qingzhou in the north were beaten by Yuan Shao's general, Zhang Jaw, and had nowhere to hide, so they came to Xuzhou together to join Liu Bei. Since the incorporation of Guan Hai, Liu Bei has tasted the sweetness of co-opting the Yellow Turban, and now there is no resistance at all, so these people have been placed in Pengcheng County.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching, according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, every year on the winter solstice, the governor of the prefecture and county has to hold a banquet with his subordinates, summarize the work of the year, and also enhance the relationship between each other. This year is Liu Bei's first year in Xuzhou, and it is most important to have a good relationship with everyone, so this friendship is the most important. Except for Chen Deng, who was far away in Guangling to guard against Yuan Shu, all the other county guards were present, and even Cao Bao, the next Pi Cheng, also came. That night, everyone held a feast in the Assassin's Mansion and celebrated with wine. For a while, the banquet was staggered, and the singing and dancing in front of the court was peaceful, which can be regarded as a rare time of peace in the troubled times.

As soon as the wine is drunk, many people are easy to get enthusiastic, and Zhao Feng is now looking at the people who are already a little crooked, and his mind is relatively clear. The degree of this ancient liquor is too low, Zhao Feng feels almost no different from drinking beer, and it feels very average to drink it cup by glass. "Or you're drinking too little!" Zhao Feng looked at Jian Yong, who was already flushed, and sighed secretly, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly walked to Zhao Yu, the Taishou of the East China Sea, who was not drunk.

"Zhao Taishou, I have something to give here." Zhao Feng took out a white silk from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yu, who took it and unfolded it while smiling, but after he saw it, his originally somewhat drowsy head was suddenly drunk.

"General Zhao, this thing is too precious, how can Yu He De, how can he accept such a generous gift from the general for no reason?" Zhao Yu said. What is written on this white silk is nothing else, but the method of drying salt introduced by Zhao Feng. The last time Zhao Feng heard that at this time, he still relied on boiling salt to extract salt, and the method of drying salt in later generations had not yet been popularized, so the price of salt was extremely expensive. Feeling this, Zhao Feng wrote the method of drying salt on this white silk in detail, hoping to reduce production costs and make Pingtou people afford to eat salt.

"This thing is useless to me, Zhao Taishou takes it, and he can produce at least ten times more salt every year." Zhao Feng said with a smile. "It's too precious!" Zhao Yu sighed, and this white silk paper details how to dig the salt pond, how to introduce seawater, and then build the salt pan and evaporate and crystallize. Zhao Yu is an expert in salt business, and a rough estimate knows that this can increase profits at least dozens of times every year.

"No merit is not allowed to be reckless, and Yushi does not dare to specialize in beauty." Zhao Yu resolutely refused to ask Zhao Feng for this benefit in vain. The dispute between the two also attracted other attention, and after understanding the situation, Zhang Fei, who had obviously drunk a lot, pulled his throat and said, "You two are surnamed Zhao, why are you so polite?" Just bow to the handle, this method of drying salt does not distinguish between each other. The rest of the people also followed suit, but in the end, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yu were not in love, so they had to talk about the year, kowtowed in public, and bowed to the handle, Zhao Yu was six years older and called him a brother.

"Brother!" Zhao Feng bowed his hand to Zhao Yu, and he couldn't laugh or cry at such a hasty bow. Fortunately, Zhao Yu is witty, and they also talk about the deed of each other. Liu Bei saw that his subordinates were drinking and fighting, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic, and finally he sang a song with a prodigal wreckage.

"Zhao boy, didn't you see you learning to play the piano last time, how about you come to a song today?" Zhang Fei was a little drunk, and everyone heard the words and coaxed again. Zhao Feng was also in a good mood, so he ordered someone to take the guqin from the musician's hand, and said with a smile: "Today's new song "A Laugh in the Sea", please listen carefully." In my heart, I secretly thought silently: Mr. Huang, I, Zhao Feng, admired you quite a lot in my previous life. Now that I'm your senior, you can honor me for this song. Thinking crankily in his heart, but he was not slow at all, and at the moment he pressed the business to lead the palace, and played and sang:

The sea is smiling, the tide on both sides of the strait,

Ups and downs follow the waves, remembering the present day.

The sky laughs, and the world is surging,

Who loses and who wins? God knows.

The mountains are laughing, the smoke and rain are far away,

The waves are over, how much do you know about the red dust?

The breeze laughed, but it was lonely,

The pride also gave a photo of the evening.

The common people laugh, no longer lonely,

The pride is still there, and the foolish smile is still there.

At the end of the song, everyone at the banquet was still reminiscing for a long time. After a while, Liu Bei sighed: "This song is open-minded and generous, and it really makes people feel open-minded." Bo Tao, I can't imagine that you are so proficient in music and rhythm, you are really a generation of Confucian generals, who else can you be! "The lord has won the prize!" Zhao Feng's cheeks are getting thicker and thicker, and when he hears Liu Bei's praise, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and he accepts it calmly. "It's just a song that is not enjoyable, is Zhao Xiaozi still there?" At this time, Zhang Fei said with a grin. "Three generals, please listen to this song "Man Jianghong" again!" Zhao Feng said with a smile, this song was adapted from Luo Wen's "Man Jianghong" in his previous life, and he played and sang it again at the moment:

Angry hair rushed to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad! Bai Deng is ashamed, and it is still snowing. When the courtiers hate, when will they be destroyed! Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.

After singing this song, the generals in the hall were already applauding. "It's really generous and heroic, I've never heard such a refreshing song." Zhang Fei praised loudly, and Liu Bei and others also sighed for a long time. , for a time the atmosphere of the banquet reached **.

"Report!" At this time, a small school rushed in quickly, and everyone who was celebrating was in their hearts and knew that something was wrong. "What?" Liu Bei had always been calm, and immediately motioned to the little school to report.

"Report to the lord, Lu Bu said that he was defeated in the battle with Cao's army, and now he led the defeated army to Xuzhou. The guard general of Pengcheng did not dare to make his own opinion, so he sent me to report to the lord and make a decision as soon as possible. The little school said. There was silence, and the originally lively hall was as silent as death. "Isn't Lu Bu still in a stalemate with Cao Jun the day before yesterday? Why did it fail like this now? After a while, Zhao Feng was the first to come back to his senses and ask, which was also the most puzzling to everyone.

It is rumored that Cao Ying designed to defeat Lu Bu, and Lu Bu had robbed various families in Yanzhou before, so after the defeat, many people fell into the ground. Lü Bu couldn't hold the city, and retreated again and again until Xuzhou. The man continued. I see! When everyone in the hall heard this, they suddenly realized that Lu Bu had lost the support of the people and could not gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Lu Bu is poor and has come to vote for me, what do you say?" Liu Bei asked first. "Lu Bu is a person who has no faith, a generation of tigers and wolves, the lord must not take him in, and if he takes it in, it will hurt his body." At this time, Mi Zhu was the first to step forward and admonish. Zhao Feng knew that all his chips were now on Liu Bei, and he had just married his sister to Liu Bei last month, so he naturally didn't want to take in such a scourge and disturb Xuzhou.

"Those three slaves are not good people, big brother, wait for me to get his head." Zhang Fei's attitude is even more direct. At this time, Cao Bao said: "Lu Bu is the tiger general in the world, if he can take it for his own use, then we in Xuzhou will have a big help." ”

Depend on! Zhao Feng immediately understood the intention of this guy, he saw that he had fallen out of favor in Xuzhou, and wanted to rely on this foreign aid to make a comeback. In fact, it is true, after Cao Bao returned to Xiapi, he was happy to return to his hometown at first, but he felt wrong after a long time. First, the former comrades were either killed in the battle with Cao Ying, or were transferred away by Liu Bei; Then he was trapped in Xiapi, and it was also a rare opportunity to go to another place, and his power and majesty were greatly reduced compared with the past. Now that Lu Bu is here, Cao Bao feels that if he can get in touch with Lu Bu, he may be able to develop in Xuzhou.

Under the divergent opinions, Liu Bei couldn't make up his mind for a while, but when he turned his head, he saw that Zhao Feng was silent, and he who had always believed in Zhao Feng's eyes hurriedly asked, "Bo Tao, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was also caught off guard by Liu Bei's question for a while, but after thinking about it, he replied a little spoofed: "Lord, this time Lu Bu is poor to vote, if I don't take him in, I'm afraid that no one else will dare to vote for me in Xuzhou in the future." However, Lu Bu is an ominous person, and if the lord takes him in, there is one thing that must be guarded against. ”

"What?" Liu Beiqi said, and everyone was also a little curious.

"The lord must not accept Lu Bu as his righteous son." Zhao Feng is colored.

Liu Bei: ":! #@#￥%￥%#%！ %@￥#！！ ”
