Chapter 1440: It's not like you've lost to Zhongda
Liu Wei picked up the teacup, and Sima Yi and Xiahoudun also hurriedly picked it up.
After drinking the tea, Sima Yi didn't say much, but Xiahoudun pulled the hole on the low table with his hand, and couldn't stop smacking his mouth.
Xiahoudun's situation made Liu Wei feel a little funny when he looked at it, and asked him: "Why is Yuan Rang like this?" β
Raising his head, he saluted Liu Wei with a fist, and Xiahoudun said: "Your Majesty, this table is made of fine wood, but it's a pity that there are many eyes drilled on it, and even the spilled tea can't be kept, it's a pity." There is also the palace maid just now, the good tea was poured first, and then poured again, which is really a pity. The last general looked at it, and there was indeed some regret in his heart! β
Xiahoudun said something, and Sima Yi, who was sitting opposite him, laughed out loud.
laughed, but Sima Yi didn't dare to speak.
Liu Wei sat here, as a courtier, of course he didn't dare to rob the emperor's lottery.
Seeing Sima Yi laughing, Liu Wei smiled and asked him, "Why is Zhong Da laughing?" β
"Majesty!" Holding his fists and bowing his body, Sima Yi said to Liu Wei: "Although the minister doesn't understand the art of tea, he also knows some ways to taste tea, so what General Xiahou said made the minister feel a little funny!" β
With a smile on his face, Liu Wei raised his hand towards Sima Yixu and said to him: "Since Zhong Da knows how to taste tea, it is convenient for Yuan Rang to talk about it, so that he also knows why he uses such a table and how to pour the first cup of tea!" β
"Obey Your Majesty's decree!" Standing up, clenching his fists and bowing to Liu Wei, after Sima Yi got up, he faced Xiahoudun and said to him: "General Xiahou, the way to taste tea is to focus on a character!" The taster is to taste the color of tea, taste the fragrance of tea, and taste the taste of tea! β
"Tea cooking is not only about cooking tea, but also about cooking tea!" Xiahoudun was still at a loss, and Sima Yi then said to him: "This taste is not the taste of entering the mouth, but the taste of tea art!" β
"What doesn't taste, I don't know, I only know, so many eyes are drilled out of the table, and the tea is poured, it's really a pity!" Obviously, he didn't understand what Sima Yi said, Xiahoudun said: "Since Zhongda knows the way to taste tea, he only talks to a certain person, why do you want to drill out of the table and pour the tea?" β
After all, Xiahoudun was born as a military general, and he didn't like to discuss problems in a roundabout way, so without waiting for Sima Yi to explain clearly, he asked about the low table in front of him and the half pot of water that the palace maid poured out.
After being questioned by Xiahoudun, Sima Yicai said: "There are eyes on the table, and the pinch is to facilitate the pouring of tea to flow away!" As for why the first pot of tea is poured, it is called tea washing! β
"Tea washing?" After blinking his eyes twice, Xiahoudun still said with a blank face: "The tea is brewed and drunk, so why do you have to wash it." If you want to wash it, you can take it out and rub it, and wait until it is clean, and then brew it ......"
Xiahoudun's words not only made Sima Yi's face depressed, but even Liu Wei was so amused that he couldn't straighten his waist with laughter.
Liu Wei was just having fun on the side, and Sima Yi had an expression of eating half a fly, which made Xiahou Dun even more puzzled, blinked his eyes twice, and muttered: "Could it be that what you said is bad?" β
"How do you get the tea leaves and rub them?" patted his forehead, Sima Yi was full of depression, and said to Xiahoudun: "The tea has a bitter taste, it will only be rinsed, some can be removed, and then brewed, the flavor is much better than the brewed drink!" β
"I see!" Scratching his head, although he still had some doubts in his heart, Xiahoudun didn't dare to ask any more questions, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and muttered: "If you drink tea in the future, you will also pour the first one, and only drink the tea in the back!" β
"Yuan Rangdang doesn't have to be like this!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei said to Xiahoudun: "The way to drink tea, you only need to feel good at home, you don't need to do it deliberately!" β
"Look!" After answering Liu's argument first, Xiahou said to Sima Yi: "Your Majesty said so, I still drink tea that day, and I have to pour out the first one!" β
was full of black lines made by him, and Sima Yi did not argue with him, and saluted Liu Wei before returning to the table and sitting down.
After Sima Yi sat down, Liu Wei asked the two: "The battle of Bowang, do you two have peace feelings?" β
"Hui Yu XiΓ !" Knowing that his own speech was not as transparent as Sima Yi, Xiahoudun did not rush to speak, but sat there without saying a word, and Sima Yi got up and saluted Liu Wei and said: "The battle of Bowang made the minister think that the army would go south in the future, and I am afraid that Jingzhou will not be easy to take!" β
Sima Yi's words made Liu Wei's face instantly solemn.
The news of Pang Tong and Lu Bu came from the north, the Han army had pursued the Wuhuan people into the Wuhuan territory, and in the battle with the Wuhuan, the Han army won one victory after another, and it was about to hit the Wuhuan hinterland.
The Han army in the southwest has pacified the Nanban, and now the army is preparing near Chengdu, and the Nanban army is also ready to go out with the Han army.
The Han court only needs to wait for the war in the north to calm down, Pang Tong and LΓΌ Bu lead the army back to Luoyang, and after a little rest, they can drive straight down to capture Jingzhou and then recover Jiangdong!
QiΔ was under Liu Bian's control, but Sima Yi came up at this time with a sentence that the Han army's attack on Jingzhou in the future would not be easy to capture, which really made Liu Bian's heart a little unhappy.
Unhappiness is not unpleasant, Liu Wei is not the kind of monarch who is happy and only wants to listen to good words but refuses to listen to the first half of his loyal words.
made a gesture of invitation to Sima Yi, and Liu Wei said to him: "Zhong Da has a lot of feelings, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" β
After Liu Wei's words, Sima Yicai continued: "Your Majesty, our army has entered Bowang, although the Jingzhou army is not as good as our army, but their combat power is also good!" If the Jingzhou army is trapped in the city, and our army besieges the city and storms, the casualties of the soldiers will definitely be not small! β
Nodding, Liu Wei didn't say anything, waiting for Sima Yi to continue.
Halfway through the words, he saw that Liu Wei's face became solemn, and Sima Yi was a little apprehensive in his heart when he continued.
Licking his lips, he then said to Liu Biao: "Liu Bei is the hero of the world, this time he lost Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang also surrendered to the imperial court, he will definitely find a way to take Jingzhou from Liu Biao's hands." Once Jingzhou falls into the hands of Liu Bei, with the help of Zhuge Liang, I am afraid that the city is high and deep, and it will be difficult to take it when you are idle! β
"No matter how shrewd Zhuge Liang is, isn't he defeated by Zhongda?" Staring at Sima Yi, Liu Wei asked him, "Could it be that Zhongda thinks that in the way of using soldiers, he is inferior to that Zhuge Liang?" β
