At noon the next day, Liu Cun only took Tai Shici and other six generals to the general's mansion of He Jin for a banquet.

He Jin attached great importance to Liu Cun's arrival, and when he saw Liu Cun fifty steps away from his mansion, he stopped the carriage and walked respectfully with six young generals.

He Jin and his younger brother He Miao, who served as the general of the chariot cavalry, Yuan Shu, the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao, Zhao Rong, Bao Hong and others in the eight captains of Xiyuan sighed, not to mention that those pretentious and high-minded ministers would never do this, even the generals under He Jin, there are few who can be so humble and respectful.

Cao Cao, the commander of the military academy with a peaceful face, stood on the edge of the generals behind He Jian, he did not sigh and discuss with everyone, but stared at Liu Cun who strode in an ordinary martial arts robe, and his slightly half-closed eyes showed appreciation, and when he saw Liu Cun taking the lead in saluting He Jin, the six heroic generals behind Liu Cun saluted neatly, as if he had trained hundreds of times, Cao Cao immediately thought of the legendary invincible Langya army.

He Jin didn't know what Cao Cao behind him was thinking, after Liu Cun introduced Tai Shici and others, He Jin introduced his younger brother He Miao to Liu Cun in a compliment, followed by Yuan Shu's brothers from the fourth and third dukes, then Zhao Rong and Bao Hong, and the last one was Cao Cao, who was not outstanding in his opinion.

Liu Cun did not have the slightest bit of a feudal official, said a few heart-warming words to everyone, and when he exchanged salutes with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, Liu Cun also solemnly explained the reason why he had to rush back to Qingzhou tomorrow, and felt very melancholy and guilty for not being able to visit the respected Yuan family's predecessors Sikong and Taifu this time, and begged Yuan Shu to forgive him. And convey his deep respect and greetings on his behalf.

Liu Cun's thoughtful etiquette and sincere and frank words immediately won the great favor of the Yuan brothers. It also let everyone see Liu Cun's modesty and prudence.

When it was He Jin's turn to introduce Cao Cao to Liu Cun at the end, Liu Cun took a step back. Respectfully, under the gaze of a stunned gaze, he said something unexpected:

"At the beginning of last month, the battle of Gushan ended, and I stayed in Jinan to deal with the aftermath for 12 days, every time I saw the ubiquitous ancestral halls of gods and ghosts, the chaotic and absurd and extravagant sacrifices, and then looked at the countless ragged people waiting to be fed, as well as the vicissitudes of the earth, I felt a faint pain in my heart. I can't help but think of Brother Meng De's lonely and tragic heroic posture in the post of Prime Minister of Jinan, and think of Brother Meng De's righteous deeds for the benefit of the people in order to support the righteous path, regardless of the reputation and righteousness, I am extremely admiring and remembering in my heart, and I am ashamed! ”

"I would like to take this opportunity to say a word from my heart to Brother Meng De: Please rest assured that Brother Meng De will take Brother Meng De as a model and unswervingly follow Brother Meng De's footsteps, and will definitely eradicate the evil spirits. Support justice and give the people a bright future! ”

Cao Cao was extremely moved, his eyes flashed, and his short beard trembled frequently: "Brother Zijian......"

didn't wait for Cao Cao to say what he felt in his heart. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had already applauded loudly, and the cheers around them rang out.

He Jin and his younger brother glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and went up separately. Together with his generals, Cao Cao and Liu Cun and others were warmly welcomed into the mansion, and praised Liu Cun's nobility and Cao Cao's righteousness as they walked.

Regardless of whether the praise of He Jin and others is heartfelt. No matter what Cao Cao's true feelings are in his heart, Liu Cun, who has long regarded Cao Cao as his biggest opponent on the way forward, knows it very well in his heart. Cao Cao, who established his reputation at the age of 20 by killing the nephew of Jian Shuo, the head of the eunuchs, and became famous all over the world at the age of 23 as the prime minister of Jinan and made earth-shattering deeds, is by no means a mere "hero" can be described.

According to Liu Cun's analysis, Cao Cao's killing of the relatives of the head of the eunuchs after the eunuchs shows that Cao Cao tried to step into the Shi clan group and break with the eunuch group after the same eunuch group.

More than 20 generals surrounded Liu Cun into the banquet hall, and they let out bursts of exclamations and cheers, all eyes were fixed on the ingenious jade porcelain peony wine bottle on each dining table, and soon gathered around He Jin, who was smiling, and asked him to tell him where he came from.

He Jin said very boldly that it was given by Liu Cun, and then lowered his voice and told everyone: "This wine has nothing to sell outside, and I will drink it leisurely, otherwise it will be ruined, haha!" ”

This wine is part of the five major Langya special brews sent by Liu Cun to He Jin's mansion the day before yesterday, and He Jin will not reveal the details to outsiders: this wine is Liu Cun's home brew for relatives and friends, and even the wine bottles are made by the best craftsmen in Langya, with an annual output of less than 1,000 bottles, and will never be sold to the outside world.

Nowadays, Langya wine has become a unique existence in the Han Dynasty, and the carved black pottery bottle "Langya mellow wine" has long been famous in the Han Dynasty with its mellow and continuous characteristics and sweet taste, fragrant and lingering aftertaste, so that the people of the court and the opposition are eager to visit, and the "Langya jade liquid" that is regarded as a treasure in the wine is even more rare, and its price is more than a first-class war horse, not to mention the Liufu family brew that he has never heard of.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone let go, and after the He Jin brothers, the Yuan brothers and the Xiyuan Army generals took turns to stand up and toast Liu Cun.

Liu Cun respectfully thanked the comer and did not refuse, and then led the six generals under his command to pay tribute to the He Jin brothers, and then it was the turn of the Yuan brothers and other generals in the bursts of cheers.

At the banquet, there were bursts of laughter and applause, and the general He Jin was overjoyed, and he frequently raised his glass very boldly, so that everyone could feel his enthusiasm and frankness.

Strictly speaking, the humble general He Jin is a proud man, no matter how those family lords sneer at him, a "vulgar relative who started by killing pigs", and no matter how the Confucian celebrities who have the right to speak in the world sneer at He Jin and his family, Liu Cun thinks that He Jin in front of him is not a villain, Liu Cun not only has no prejudice against He Jin, but repeatedly goes up to toast He Jin respectfully, which not only makes He Jin's brothers grateful, It also let the general school see Liu Cun's own line of self-discipline, and his open-mindedness.

The banquet held at the home of the general He Jian soon became a hot topic of discussion in the government and the opposition, and many civil servants and celebrities who regarded Liu Cun as the same kind were deeply puzzled and even complained, but Liu Cun won the hearts of warriors and ordinary people, including Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, who admired Liu Cun's character and amount of alcohol.

And the recognition of the warriors and the people is what Liu Cun values the most, as for the feelings of the literati, Liu Cun doesn't care at all, and now in this Han world, the most untrustworthy thing is probably the literati. (To be continued......)
