Chapter 147 Fighting Poison with Poison
If it was placed in his previous life, Liu He would have entertained the distinguished guests who came to the door with a hot pot that did not even have the seasonings, most of them would have been ridiculed. However, it is now the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when cooking skills are extremely backward, so when Liu He solemnly launched the gourmet copper hot pot to the newcomers Tai Shici and Liu Zheng and others, it was unforgettable for them for a long time, and even a lifetime aftertaste.
"Hutchison" copper hot pot is the highest praise of the military and civilians of Macheng for the new cuisine invented by Liu He Gongzi, this simple operation but extremely suitable for the long winter in the north of the delicious way to eat, once from the Gongzi's mansion, it became the favorite of the military and civilians in the city, and now it has spread to Ningcheng, Gaoliu and Quang Ninh and other places at the fastest speed.
At this time, all kinds of materials are extremely scarce, the output of brass is even lower, the best beef can be sold at a very high price, and fresh mutton is also very valuable, but it doesn't matter, the smart people have thought of many ways to improve the way to eat hot pot.
For example, if you can't afford a copper pot at home, then use an iron pot, and if you don't even have an iron pot, then use a clay pot, anyway, there is always a guy who can be put on the fire to burn; For example, if you can't afford to eat beef and mutton, you can put a whole chicken or a fish in a pot and stew it as the bottom of the pot, and then get some wild vegetables, game, pig water or something to soak in it, the taste is the same delicious and delicious; For example, if you can't get together the high-end seasonings such as pepper and pepper, as long as you put some salt in the soup and put a few cloves of garlic, some ginger shreds, chopped green onions, and sour vinegar in a small plate, you can also eat a mouthful of fragrant and steaming.
In short, hot pot is a good thing for all ages, expensive and low, and it is the most suitable to pass the difficult time in the cold of winter.
After being full of wine and food, Liu He asked Liu Zheng and Tai Shici to settle down in the mansion, and led Xian Yuyin and Han Heng into his study, and listened carefully to their report on the trip to Liaodong.
Han Heng's language skills are very strong, and he reported the situation in Liaodong to Liu He in the most concise language, and at the same time analyzed the character of Gongsun Du, and finally asked Liu He for guilt and said: "Heng has been entrusted by his son, and before he could persuade Gongsun Du and Master Taifu to join forces to balance Gongsun Zhan, he was forcibly put on the boat by Captain Xian Yu and brought back to Jicheng." ”
When Liu He heard this, he smiled, Chong Xian Yuyin gave a thumbs up, and said, "This matter, Minghui did it beautifully!" Compared with joining forces with Gongsun Du, I care more about the personal safety of my subordinates, since Minghui wants to forcibly take you away from Liaodong, it means that it will be dangerous for you to continue to stay in Liaodong, about this matter, I can explain to him when I leave. ”
When Han Heng heard that Liu He cared so much about the safety of his subordinates, he was very moved in his heart, and said: "The son's treatment of his humble duties is so heavy, which makes me feel even more ashamed!" ”
Liu He waved his hand and said, "Don't be ashamed! I can tell that Gongsun Du is also a careerist, and it is not easy to convince him to help us with just a few words. I've been thinking about it lately, in fact, if I really reach some kind of agreement with Gongsun Du, it may not be a good thing, anyway, he is still separated from us by Gongsun Chan, and it won't affect us anything. When I finish cooking Gongsun Zhan, I will definitely clean him up when the time comes, if I have any agreement with him, I will be embarrassed to do it! ”
Xian Yuyin nodded violently and said, "What Childe said is very true! This Gongsun Du proclaimed himself the Marquis of Liaodong in Liaodong, led the Pingzhou pastor, and regarded himself as the king of Liaodong, how could he have put the court in his eyes! Let's let him wander in Liaodong for a few years, wait for Gongsun Zhan, and be willing to lead the army to destroy this supreme guy in one fell swoop! ”
"Good! At that time, I will make you a Pingliao general, and let you and Zipei go over and get the field back! Liu He was angry and swallowed mountains and rivers.
Han Heng looked at the two masters in front of him when they talked about the elimination of Gongsun Zan and the extermination of Gongsun Du, his face was relaxed and confident, as if he had never thought about how difficult it would be to realize this wish, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling that Gongzi was still too young, and sometimes it was easy to take it for granted.
After chatting about Liaodong, Xian Yuyin hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Childe, after we returned to Jicheng, we heard many rumors about you, most of which are not very good, and it seems that someone is secretly deliberately damaging your reputation!" ”
When Liu He heard this, his face was calm, and he said, "Oh, even you have heard of it?" Tell me what bad things you have said about me. ”
"Childe, do you know everything?" Xian Yuyin's face was stunned.
"Hey, isn't that all that bullshit! If my mouth grows on someone else's body, can I still block the tongue of people in the world? Half a month ago, the inner line in the direction of Jizhou sent back to me the news that Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao had teamed up to hack me. Five days ago, an urgent report came back from the direction of Jizhou, saying that Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao had joined forces to prevent the scholars south of the Yellow River from coming to Youzhou to join my father and me. What do you think? The fine work I left in Jizhou is quite powerful, right? ”
Liu He looked at Xian Yuyin with a smug expression, and didn't seem to be worried about his reputation at all.
Xian Yuyin couldn't help nodding and admitting that Gongzi was really powerful, and he only stayed in Jizhou for more than a month, and actually built a secret intelligence channel.
Han Heng said anxiously: "Childe, this matter must not be ignored!" For example, today's disputes, all the princes are desperately trying to win prestige and win people's hearts, although you have Taifu Mengyin, but you also need to quickly expand your prestige in Hebei, so as to be conducive to recruiting talents and stabilizing people's hearts! ”
"Well, I already have a countermeasure to this matter, and tomorrow morning I will gather to discuss the matter, and I will have a unified deployment and arrangement. You have come from Jicheng non-stop, and you are also very tired, so go back to the house and rest early. ”
Han Heng said no more, said goodbye to Liu He, and then left.
"Minghui, why don't you go to rest yet?" Looking at Xian Yuyin, who had not left, Liu He couldn't help asking.
Xian Yuyin said: "I still have a few words I want to say to you alone. ”
"Well, there is no one else now, you can say anything." Liu He looked forward to it, wanting to hear what kind of "small report" his old subordinates would make with him.
"Childe, that Tai Shi Ci is really very powerful! We were surrounded by a patrol of rangers from Quancheng by Gushui, and he killed more than twenty of them alone! Xian Yuyin's face was exaggerated, and he seemed to be still reminiscing about the battle of the day.
"Hey, I thought it was something! Didn't I tell you a long time ago, Tai Shici's bravery is comparable to Zhao Yun's, and the little people he killed by Gushui were at best just moving their muscles and bones, and they were still behind when they were more fierce in the future. Liu He didn't think it was strange at all, but had a natural expression.
Xian Yuyin looked proud: "Hehe, Childe, I have completed the important task entrusted by you, not only brought back Tai Shici, but also brought back Liu Zheng and Li Min, and did not let Han Heng have any accidents, should you reward something?" ”
Liu He nodded: "Well, I really should reward you heavily!" In this way, tomorrow I will ask the coppersmith in the workshop to customize a two-foot diameter hot pot for you, how about it? ”
Xian Yu Yin protested: "Childe! Don't bring such a bully! I'm not a foodie! ”
Liu He retorted: "You still say that you are not a foodie? At today's night banquet, you and Tai Shici ate the most! ”
Xian Yuyin continued to complain: "The two of us are martial arts practitioners, and our appetite is naturally much larger than that of scribes!" ”
Liu He Zhengse said: "Okay! I'm too lazy to talk to you! This time I came to Macheng, I am ready to hand over the heavy task of recruiting new troops to you, first recruit 5,000 people, and I have thought of the name of the new army for you, it will be called "Dragon Tiger Guard". All the soldiers who enter this battalion must be innocent Han people, and they will become the most elite infantry under my command in the future. ”
"The humble position must select the best young and strong sons of the Han family to enter the Dragon and Tiger Camp and guard the entrance to the new army of the son!"
There was nothing to say that day, and the next morning, Liu He gathered to discuss matters.
"You may have heard some rumors about me to a greater or lesser extent, and there is a saying that 'rumors stop at the wise', and I believe you must have seen that someone is deliberately undermining my prestige, and I don't want to see the 'Recruit Notice' continue to play an influential and useful role. Naturally, we can't sit idly by and ignore this matter, and we must fight back fiercely! ”
"So, how do we fight back? It has always been the mouth of the people's defense like the defense of the river, so it is obviously not possible to rely on blocking, so I decided to do the opposite! From today onwards, let's help spread more rumors about me, the more ridiculous, the more exaggerated and funny, the better! ”
"Some people say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, so you spread that I am as timid as a mouse, and I dare not even step on an ant to death, and I will be frightened when I see a caterpillar, and I will faint to death when I hear the wind blowing on the window at night!"
"Some people say that I am cruel and murderous, and you spread the word that I have to drink human blood and eat people's hearts every day, and there are not a million innocent people killed by me, but 800,000!"
"Some people say that I am unbearable, so you will spread the word that I am unhappy every night, from an eighty-year-old woman to a three-year-old baby, I will not let go of this big prostitution!"
"Some people say that I instigated the people to rise up and kill officials and rebel, and you spread the word everywhere that there are not 1,000 but 800 officials who died in my hands! Like the Yellow Turban Turmoil that happened in Qingzhou some time ago, in fact, the real leader is me! ”
"Some people say that I covet the territory of Jizhou and secretly provoke the fight between Han Fu and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and you will spread the word everywhere that I not only covet the territory of Jizhou, but I also covet the territory of the entire Han Dynasty! Not only did I provoke Han Fu to fight with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, but I also provoked Liu Dai to kill Qiao Mao, I also provoked Dong Zhuo to kill Yuan Kui, and I also provoked Sun Jian to kill Zhang Zhi......"
After listening to Liu He's self-destructive words, everyone was shocked, wondering if Gongzi fell into his head last night, or was ghosted, otherwise how could he say these stupid things similar to smearing feces on his face?
Liu Hui was the first to understand Liu He's meaning, and said with a smile: "Childe's trick of attacking poison with poison is really clever, but have you thought of a way to set things right in the future?" ”
Liu He smiled and said: "Naturally, I have thought about it!" Small, one by one, they actually dare to play public opinion war with me, if I don't hack them into turtles this time, I won't be the best debater of #¥ Normal University! ”
