During the banquet, everyone drank and ordered, and they had great fun.

Of course, Jixun didn't indulge in this atmosphere. In his opinion, the meal is divided instead of around a large round table, although according to the habit at this time, the big guys are all glasses to wine, but the degree of wine is only a little higher than that of beer. Where can harmony go?

Alas, the landlord class is a model of pretending.

Seeing that many people were drunk--Man Pet had been drinking with the last place, and his cheeks were even red-it was Xun Cai who put down the wine he had mixed with water, pretended to sneeze, covered his face with his sleeves, and turned his head to look at his father-in-law Cao Bao. Cao Bao understood, raised the long wine ladle, scooped it and handed it to Xiahou Yuan, and asked casually: "Shicai welcomes you outside the door, and you see that the virtuous nephew's mount is very miraculous." ”

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly held his back in both hands, got up to meet each other, and smiled slightly: "These are all Xianbei's tribute horses, and the prime minister is rewarded-thanks to the son-in-law sent from Shuozhou." ”

The horses that Shi Xun blackmailed from the Xianbei people were partly incorporated into his own troops and Zhang He's army, and some were left to Zheng Hun for the goods of Yibei County, and more than 100 of the most divine horses were selected, all of which were taken to Xu Du and presented to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed, leaving half of it, and the remaining half was given to the generals.

So when they heard Xiahou Yuan's words, Cao Hong and Cao Xiu also said tightly, I have it too, I also have it, didn't my uncle notice it?

"Bear child" Cao Pi interjected again: "The eldest brother and the political brother also have gifts, but I asked the adults for it, but the adults refused to talk to them - too partial!" ”

Cao Ang comforted him and said, "Such a miracle horse. If you are not a strong man, you can't control it. Zihuan is still young. How can you ride without being in shape? And in another three years, even if the adults do not give it, I will also give thee what I have received. ”

Cao Pi pouted and muttered: "In another three years, the good horses will be old......"

Shi Xun felt that this bear child was a bear this time, and he was a good bear, as if he was deliberately trying to help his family. In order to lead to the following topic, he raised his glass to Cao Pi at the moment: "Zihuan Ruo thinks about good horses, you go to see your uncle in Shuozhou, why don't you write a letter to ask for it?" ”

Cao Pi is not yet an adult, he is not allowed to drink, there is only water in the cup, and he hurriedly raised his glass to pay respect, and at the same time, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Since my sister-in-law has received Hu as a son, please send a letter to ask for it for me." How is it? ”

It was Xun Xin who said that you received this too well! Shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "But it's difficult, but it's difficult...... That is, I have a letter to go. He may not be a tribute. He was afraid that Cao Pi would no longer ask why, so he took the initiative to follow up and explain: "The Hu people are afraid of power but not virtue, so they accept him as a son, not for grace, but for easy deterrence, and over time, they will naturally accept it." However, since I am away from Shuozhou, the prestige is not there, and the grace is still shallow, how can I Soma again? Why would he be willing to do it again? ”

Cao Bao answered at the right time: "In this case, why did the virtuous son-in-law abandon Shuozhou and return to Yeh? ”

Shi Xun sighed and said: "Afraid of people's words and ears......" deliberately looked at Dong Zhao.

Dong Gongren is a person of Duomin, as soon as he heard that Cao Bao and Shixun had introduced the topic to Shuozhou, he hurriedly listened to it, and now he saw that Shixun handed over his eyes, and immediately felt at ease, so he helped answer Cao Bao: "The general doesn't know, Hongfu accepted the Hu people as sons and the matter was introduced into the capital, and the public was noisy, or the cloud did not conform to the etiquette law, there was no ancient precedent, or the cloud will be made by Xianbei, and so on." Hongsuke was cautious and retreated. ”

In fact, everyone sitting here may not all understand and agree with the matter of Xun accepting a Hu man as an adopted son, and they often discuss it in private, and even slander a few words, but today it is Xun is half the host of the banquet, so naturally he can't say to him directly: "I also think that you are not old and authentic in this matter." I had to follow Dong Zhao's words and shout for Shixun.

Xiahou Lian said: "It's all rotten Confucianism, everything must be ancient-where are so many ancient examples?" If the Hu man is the father, he will be made by him; Taking the bearded man as the son is to control the other rather than to be controlled by the other. ”

When the big guys all made their own statements, Dong Zhaocai smiled slightly: "Qing and others know one thing, but they don't know the other." Ancient examples, but the excuse, their true meaning, is the Hu people plagiarism is difficult to control, I am afraid that it is made by Hongfu, good Ji is tens of millions, I am afraid that the tail will not be able to fall. ”

Shi Xun gave a thumbs up in his heart, and said in his heart Dong Gongren, you are really a friend, and it is inconvenient for me to say it directly, but you can help to make it clear - full of hospitality!

When Cao Hong heard this, he was furious: "Liu Biao is in Jingzhou, Sun Quan is in Yangzhou, Liu Zhang is in Yizhou, and Lu Bu is in Bingzhou. That is, Yuan Shao was in Jizhou that day, and the lord wanted to cut him down, and they were all Yuan Shao's words-is it only my Cao family...... Cao's in-laws, are you afraid of sitting big?! ”

Shi Xun applauded in his heart and secretly said: Yes. It seems that Cao Zilian is not a complete muddy person, and his brain is not slow.

Cao Bao answered in time: "We guard the place for the prime minister, conquer the south and the north, and delete the heroes......" He deliberately did not say "for the court", but wanted to say "for the prime minister" - "It is really hateful to be jealous of the villain!" ”

Ren Jun couldn't listen to it anymore, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Why bother to study the theory of Confucianism." What Gongren said is inevitably profound, and I expect that they are not jealous of Hongfu, but just ignorant. "They're not as despicable as you say, they're just stupid and pedantic, don't just go online casually and disunity.

Dong Zhao shook his head and smiled: "Boda is loyal and kind, and he doesn't know the villain's deceitful heart. Out is a general, and in is a phase, and the lord is also in the position of prime minister because of his military exploits. They steal from the center, empty labor cases, have no size of military exploits, and fear that others will make meritorious contributions, which will shake their momentum. Hongfu can participate in confidential information, and he can calm down, and he is the in-laws of the Cao family and an important minister of the imperial court, how can they want Hongfu to make meritorious contributions? "Dong Gongren has been getting farther and farther away from the Xun family recently, so he simply took this opportunity to sow discord.

Ren Jun persuaded: "Gongren was drunk, this is inappropriate. The so-called strategizing and winning thousands of miles, with Han Xin's merits, is not as good as Xiao He, what are they afraid of, and jealous of Hongfuye? "You are also a civil official, why do you stand on the side of the military generals, saying that civil officials are useless, and you only know the "empty labor case"? This "labor case" is also very important.

Dong Zhao knew that he had talked a little too much, and he was also a little exposed, so he hurriedly closed the tent with Ren Jun's words: "It's really hard to drink, and if you have another drink, you will retire." As he spoke, he raised his glass to Ren Jun, and at the same time added at the end: "Who does Boda think is Xiao He in the world?" Boda's strategy of tuntian, so that there is enough food and enough soldiers, is really Xiao Heye! "Do you treat Xun Yu as Xiao He? Yes, he managed internal affairs and dispatched materials, which did play a role, but if you weren't in charge of tuntian and produced so much food, no matter how capable Xun Yu was, would he be able to conjure up materials out of thin air?

Ren Jun's face changed, and he was busy saying that he didn't dare or praise falsely, and he drank this glass of wine with Dong Zhao. He originally wanted to explain and persuade a few more words, but he was really not as good as Dong Gongren in terms of lip service, so he was speechless for a while. It was Xun Xin who said this, just a little bit, and digging deeper, it was easy to have the opposite effect, so he took the opportunity to change the topic: "What Gongren said is very true, Boda's merits, our generals know it, don't be humble!" Deliberately counted himself into the ranks of "generals" in order to get closer to the relationship with Cao Xiahou.

He knew what he said at the banquet today, and Cao Ang would definitely report it to Cao Cao when he went back, and even if no one reported during the banquet, it might not be that Cao Cao couldn't inquire about it—do you think the school is a vegetarian? However, if you complain through alcohol, as long as you don't cross the line and don't point the finger at Cao Cao himself, Cao Cao won't care much; If you really feel wronged and keep silent, you may be suspicious of Cao Cao.

Leaders are never afraid of contradictions among their subordinates, as long as they do not affect the overall situation; On the contrary, the leader is afraid that all his subordinates will be of the same mind, as the so-called "there is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things," which is not realistic and can easily threaten the power of the leader himself. For example, Cao Hong has a conflict with Man Chong, Cao Cao won't know it, but do you see that he persuaded Cao Hong? As long as Cao Hong didn't really beat the full pet, Cao Cao didn't care.

In the original history, Zhang Liao and Le Jin had contradictions, but Cao Cao wanted to bring the two of them together, just to avoid sitting big - of course, Cao Cao knew that Zhang and Le would not harm public affairs because of personal anger, this must be a major premise.

So it's a matter of resigning from Shuozhou and returning to Xudu, and it's been more than half a year since today, and I've always been holding back the fire in my heart, and I'm drinking and venting a little when I'm facing relatives and friends, how big is it? At most, when Cao Cao summoned Shi Xun and Dong Zhao alone, he instructed Yi Yiqing to drink less wine in the future and pay attention to his words. But Xun mentioned the matter of Shuozhou today, mainly for two purposes, one is to gather a bunch of people with the banquet, which means that we are a group, which is different from those anonymous "them"; The second is to warn the generals that some people are jealous of us, and we must guard against it - I am a lesson from the past.

Yes Xun felt that the people who were feasting, Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan, they would definitely take the bait, and maybe they would pass the news to Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, who were guarding the town, Dong Zhao jumped up and bit the hook by himself, and Ren Jun clearly didn't want to take the bait...... But it doesn't matter, the main purpose of this banquet was to go to the generals, and the scribes counted "picking grass and beating rabbits - piggybacking work".

Finally, the guests and hosts dispersed happily, Shi Xun and Cao Bao returned to the back hall, and Zhuge Liang also followed. When a man in the hall was sitting upright, bearded, strong and clear-looking, he got up and saluted, and said, "I have heard the words of the banquet in the inner chamber." Today's feast is also cooperable. ”

Cao Bao, Shi Xun and others hurriedly returned the salute. Not only that, but in order to show gratitude and intimacy, Shixun also deliberately took two steps forward, took the other party's hand, and said sincerely: "Thanks to Mr. Teaching." (To be continued......)
