When Dong Shouye heard this, he and the "old pedant" actually began to pat their ass, and they were speechless. But he said: "The meat in the pot is cooked, let's eat it quickly!" ”

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched some horse meat for Jia Xu.

What Dong Shouye didn't expect was that his unintentional move made hot pot come out in advance, and it became popular throughout the Han Dynasty and became an unstoppable popular fashion.

Although it was only circulated in Dong Shouye's army at the beginning, after Dong Shouye returned to Chang'an, many of his soldiers ate hot pot in Chang'an City, and then hot pot became a popular fashion in Chang'an City, and hotels and restaurants of all sizes began to engage in hot pot.

Of course, there are many old scholars, noble Confucian scholars dislike this way of eating is more vulgar, not high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade enough, but they still can't stop this popular trend.

However, these opponents generally say one thing and do another, talking about opposition, but when they get home, they start a small stove to make a hot pot.

The meat used in the hot pot has gradually changed from the original horse meat to pork, beef, and mutton, which is becoming more and more abundant and colorful. There are also some people in the big families who have created some more dexterous "small hot pots" for one person, so that the types of pots used in hot pots are also increasing.

Dong Shouye later heard that a soldier in his army, after being wounded and demobilized, set up a hot pot restaurant on Chang'an Street, and the business was very prosperous, known as the "Chang'an Street Hot Pot King", and he was stunned to continue to carry forward the hot pot.

After Dong Shouye and his subordinates happily ate a hot pot together, they were in a very good mood.

Although the horse meat hot pot this time is not as good as some famous hot pot restaurants before the crossing, the dishes are not so rich, and the seasoning soup is not complete, but after all, it is a step forward and a great attempt, and the effect of this attempt is very good, the soldiers are very satisfied, even Dong Shouye himself is very satisfied with the taste of the horse meat hot pot.

In fact, Dong Shouye had heard of horse meat hot pot in his previous life and knew how to do it, but he had never really eaten it, and this time it could be regarded as satisfying a wish of Dong Shouye in his previous life. Moreover, hot pot, which could be late on the streets in the previous life, appeared in the Han Dynasty, which also comforted Dong Shouye's psychology.

When eating horse meat hot pot, although Dong Shouye was very happy, he was also a little complicated, missing his hometown and his past. Although this point was hidden from everyone at the table, it was not hidden from the old fox Jia Xu, who was good at speculating on people's hearts.

Later, Jia Xu asked Dong Shouye how he thought of making horse meat hot pot, and Dong Shouye shirked and said that when his master Jiugong Zhenren was traveling with him, he encountered a few Hulu robbing a few ordinary people, and after Jiugong Zhenren killed them, he killed their horses that were injured in the battle, and then used this method when he ate horse meat with the people.

Jia Xu believes in Dong Shouye's explanation very much, Dong Shouye has a mysterious master, Jia Xu has also heard of it, and many generals of the Xiliang Army know that this is also what Dong Zhuo specially revealed to his generals in order to cheer up his son when he went to war.

That's why Jia Xu believes in Dong Shouye's words so much.

After Dong Shouye finished dealing with all the trivial matters, he began to write a war report to his father and report his victory. Although the meteor rider had been sent to inform Dong Zhuo on the night of the end of the war, the official documents still had to be walked through.

Although Dong Shouye and Dong Zhuo are close relatives of father and son, official affairs are official affairs, and even father and son need to act in accordance with the formal charter.

When writing the paperwork, Jia Xu suddenly asked Dong Shouye: "I don't know how the son thinks the report of this war should be written?" ”

When Dong Shouye heard this, he said secretly: "Didn't you old fox talk nonsense?" As an official battle report, the victory report document has a fixed format, can you, the chief military advisor, not even know how to write the victory report? ”

Muttering to himself, Dong Shouye immediately reacted, Jia Xu had something in his words, implying something. Thinking of this, he turned to ask, "I don't know what the military advisor means?" ”

Jia Xu kept looking at Dong Shouye, but he didn't speak.

Dong Shouye thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that the military advisor means 'the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it'?" ”

Jia Xu nodded, looked at Dong Shouye with a smile, obviously very satisfied with Dong Shouye's enlightenment so quickly.

Dong Shouye saw that Jia Xu acquiesced to his opinion, and secretly thought that this Jia Xu really thought long-term, at the moment, his father and son could be surrounded by strong enemies, and the Kwantung princes were also eyeing him, if Dong Shouye was a mediocre and incompetent person, and he would not be able to take charge of the Xiliang Army in the future, then the threat to the Kwantung Coalition Army would be very small.

If Dong Shouye is extremely capable and very capable, and it is a sure thing to be in charge of the Xiliang Army, then the threat of the Xiliang Army to the Kwantung princes will be greater in the future, then the Kwantung Coalition Army will definitely give up the immediate interests and disputes in order to prevent Dong Zhuo's father and son from continuing to grow, and will inevitably join forces again, and together they will first eradicate the biggest threat to the Xiliang Army led by Dong Zhuo and his son, and then they can fight without scruples.

Dong Shouye knew that the rafters that came out rotted first, and the early birds were shot, so as soon as Jia Xu reminded him, Dong Shouye immediately reacted, so he called a herald and ordered: "Immediately summon General Xu Rong, Captain Xu Huang, and Captain Zhang Liao to come and discuss important matters." ”

Jia Xu saw that Dong Shouye sent someone to find Xu Rong, and he didn't stop him, after all, the most suitable candidate was Xu Rong, as for Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, they would come to see the world together, and it would be good to play soy sauce.

In fact, it is enough for Xu Rong to come to this matter, but Dong Shouye feels that this kind of confidant matter, his sworn brother must participate, and trust is also one thing. But the most important thing is that Dong Shouye feels that if his righteous brothers, who live and die with him, can't be trusted, then who else can he trust in the future.

However, after a while, Xu Rong, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao arrived at Dong Shouye's camp one after another.

Dong Shouye saw that everyone who should have come came, so he said to Xu Rong: "General Xu, there is a big matter at the moment, and my son needs to discuss it with you." ”

Xu Rong clenched his fists and said, "Son, please speak." ”

Dong Shouye was not verbose, and said directly: "General Xu, the battle report of this battle is written like this, and in the battle report, this son will explain to his father that the most important reason why this battle can be won is that the more than 50,000 people and horses in the whole army can directly defeat Sun Jian's army without adversity under the extraordinary command of General Xu. ”
