"Father. Do you have something on your mind? ”

Liu He, who was on the side, saw that his father was stunned, and opened his mouth to call out in person.

"Oh." Liu Yu responded and waved his hand, "Don't worry. ”

"Ugh." With a long sigh, Liu Yu put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "After this experience, my father understands a lot of truths. ”

"Although my father has some talents, he is really incompetent in leading the army."

Liu He's eyes showed a complicated look, and he comforted: "Father, don't be arrogant, this leading the army is to learn over time. ”

"What's more, my father's energy is focused on governing the people, and that Gongsun Chan has been in the army for a long time, and this time Dong Xiangguo summoned his father to the court, which can show his father's ability."

"Huh." Liu Yu shook his head, "He'er." ”

"After this defeat, it is a long lesson for my father." "Now I know how difficult it was for Zhao Kuo back then."

"Talking on paper, being a father is the one who talks on paper. At least Zhao Kuo is much better than being a father. ”

Liu He listened to his father Liu Yu's words and was silent, there is a way that the son does not say anything about the father, Liu Yu, who is a father, can talk casually, but he, who is a son, cannot comment at will.

Liu Yu also knew Liu He's thoughts, and was not entangled in the previous defeat.

"He'er, Gongsun Zhan set up a banquet tonight, not only for you, the envoy of the court, to receive the wind and wash the dust, but also for the send-off banquet for the loser of his father."

"You should prepare for it."

"Now you are the envoy of the court, and you must not lose the face of my royal family."

Liu He nodded and saluted: "The child understands, then the child will go and prepare." ”

"Father, relax your mind, stay away from this Youzhou, and have your own place in the court."

Liu Yu looked at his child and chuckled, "Okay, okay." "I have been a father and an official for many years, so why don't you need to say it."

"Let's go down."

"Yes."

After Liu He saluted, he left the ear room and began to prepare for the evening banquet.

This kind of banquet in the officialdom is not a private banquet, and Gongsun Chan will definitely invite a cadre from Youzhou to come to the banquet.

Anything can happen during the banquet, and Liu He, as an envoy, really needs to think about it.

Sure enough.

When it came to the dinner, Gongsun Zhan invited the civil and military officials of Youzhou to come to the gathering, at this time he was dressed in civilian clothes, and the rest of the people were in armor except for Liu Yu and Liu He.

went to the banquet with armor on his body, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a Hongmen banquet.

However, what made Liu He quite curious was that during the dinner, there were three other people around Gongsun Zhan who were wearing civilian clothes.

One of them was dressed in Taoist clothes, while the other two looked like businessmen, and the three of them talked and laughed happily with Gongsun Zhan.

Liu He looked at his father Liu Yu with doubts in his eyes.

At this time, before the banquet began, a trace of complexity flashed on Liu Yu's face, and he explained to Liu He softly: "These three people are the righteous brothers of Gongsun Zhan. ”

"Righteous brothers?!"

Liu He suddenly felt a little inexplicable, although Gongsun Zhan is a child of a declining family, how could he not be married to such a person?

At this time, Liu Yu's words came slowly, "The person in the Taoist uniform is a divination master named Liu Weitai." ”

"The other two, one is the cloth merchant Li Yizi, and the other is the merchant Jia Le He Dang."

Liu He was even more surprised when he listened to his father's explanation.

"Divination?"

"Cloth merchant?"

"Merchant?"

Liu Yu nodded, before Liu Yu secretly slandered him, what kind of characters did Gongsun Chan befriend.

The circle of the children of the family is naturally the children of the family, and only in this way can there be communication and association between the big clans.

Gongsun Zhan formed a righteous alliance with these peddlers and pawns, which was completely a manifestation of self-depravity in the eyes of the Youzhou clan at that time.

However, Liu Yu doesn't think so now.

In the bitter cold land of Youzhou, not to mention the cold weather, coupled with the war, many people often do not cover their bodies, and the number of people who freeze to death every year is unknown.

Gongsun Chan is the leader of the army, of course he cares about the people, and that is where his army comes from.

However, there are so many people, but Gongsun Chan can't control it, but the soldiers in the army led by Gongsun Chan also have to be dressed.

It was precisely because of the cloth merchant Li Yizi that the soldiers in Gongsun Zhan's army were able to wear cheap clothes and be protected from the wind and cold.

And not to mention the merchant Jia Le, he didn't know how much food he provided to Gongsun Zhan, and of course he also made a lot of money from it.

Liu Yu didn't look down on these businessmen before, but I have to say that Gongsun Zhan's purpose is very strong.

It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Chan was able to pull up a group of troops to follow him in the land of Youzhou.

As for Liu Weitai, the divination numberman, he is a figure who is left and right.

At that time, the theory of ghosts and gods prevailed in the world, and this Liu Weitai could be regarded as having a few brushes, and he played the role of a "courtesan" in front of Gongsun Zhan.

It traveled among the major forces in Youzhou, connecting with each other to support Gongsun Zhan.

may be after a big defeat, Liu Yu's vision of affairs has also changed, and he is no longer as rigid as before.

But this doesn't have much to do with him anymore, after all, after today, he is about to leave Youzhou, the place where he has been for many years.

A banquet seems to be full of joy for the guests and hosts, and the banquet is not lively.

Everyone present already knew the purpose of the imperial envoy's visit to Youzhou, and his father-in-law Sun Zan has now been appointed as the pastor of Youzhou, which can be said to be a person who has attained the Tao of chicken and dog to ascend to heaven.

This is an appointment by the imperial court.

It's right, it's different from before.

Gongsun Chan also gave Liu Yu, a clan member of the Han family, enough face, and talked with him many times, which was quite a bit of a taste of releasing his previous suspicions.

But I don't know how much of it is true and how much of it is false.

"Brother Bo'an, the previous conflict between us and us was caused by political disagreement, and now Brother Bo'an is about to enter the court as an official, and it is good for us to write off our previous affairs."

Gongsun Zhan picked up the wine cup, and smiled at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu also had a smile on his face, and replied: "We are all Hanchen, and we are all Han Chao, so don't mention the previous things." ”

"Good, good, good."

Gongsun Chan laughed loudly, applauded again and again, his gaze swept over the rest of the people, and he raised his voice: "I am equal to respecting Da Sima, okay?" ”

The rest of the people naturally didn't lose interest, and at the same time picked up the wine cup and shouted in unison: "Respect to Da Sima." ”

After that, Gongsun Zhan drank it all, and Liu Yu did the same.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, a banquet was abandoned after a long time.

There was no discord at the banquet, and the people who were crawling in the officialdom were like old foxes, with hypocritical smiles.

If he hadn't known that Liu Yu had been captured by Gongsun Zhan, he would have thought it was really a gathering between friends.
