Chapter 182: Xiu'er, let's guess the word puzzle
"A thousand horses, ah......" Zhang Han's heart trembled.
Mo, so atmospheric.
But now it's true that it's time to be thirsty for talents, and in order to fight with Jizhou, the number of generals in reserve is not too many.
Because people are spiritual, they are completely different from money and food.
If you have to lead the troops to fight, it may be better than 100,000 stone of military rations and 10,000 gold of wealth.
Any male lord with a long-term vision can see this section, and Cao Cao is naturally among them.
Now he is no longer the precarious little Taishou who raised troops in Yanzhou back then, but the prime minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition.
"Harm," Zhang Han waved his hand and said with a flattering smile: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law is just joking...... In fact, if you don't give anything, you will know everything. β
"Okay, stop," Cao Cao didn't bother to listen to these babbling words, "Say it quickly!" Hurry up!! β
I'm annoyed, every time I say something, I like to pull for a long time, and I don't have the sincerity of the eagerness to make meritorious service before.
Cao Cao couldn't help but complain in his heart, and glared at Zhang Han secretly.
"I know some information," Zhang Han also put away his smile and said, "Zhao Yun returned to his hometown from Xuzhou before, but he was actually disheartened, and he was not ready to go elsewhere, and wanted to make a stable living at home." β
However, when he returned to the village, he found that his eldest brother had passed away a year ago due to a serious illness, so he planned to keep filial piety for several years and dismissed the righteous servants who followed him.
"However, his brother passed away, leaving behind orphans and widows, and Zhao Yun had a lot of inconvenience in getting along with him, so naturally some people gossiped over time."
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "You are asking me to find his brother's widow, and then treat him with courtesy, it is best to raise his brother's son." β
"Not bad," Zhang Han nodded in praise, gritting his teeth secretly in his heart, when it comes to widows, the lord's thoughts are also very unimpeded!
Fast and accurate!!
I'm about to be affected by you now.,The strange thing is that every time I hear the widow, I think of the prime minister inexplicably.,I feel like it's about to become a disease.,Hateful!
"You're making up a story, aren't you," Xi Zhicai turned his head strangely, "It's still called intelligence?" β
The past and the future, everything is clear, as if watching their uncle and sister-in-law live on the side.
Why don't you even say that you saw it with your own eyes, and the information can be so detailed!?
Unless Zhao Yun told you!
"I see," Cao Cao nodded.
He believed it, and he didn't have much doubt about Zhang Han's words, Xu was affected by Zhang Han's strange intelligence network over the years, and the luck of his ancestors who were more or less blessed.
I'm so numb that I don't want to doubt the authenticity of the information.
"In the spring of the next year, I will let the envoy go to Jizhou in the name of the Son of Heaven, and then send someone to do this, after all, it is just a folk woman, and there will be no accidents."
After Cao Cao made his decision, he naturally asked Zhang Han, "Is there a detailed address?" β
"Changshan is really determined, Zhaojia Village." Zhang Han casually made up a place, scratched his head and said: "When Zhao Yun defected to Gongsun Zan in the past, there were hundreds of villagers to follow, and it is conceivable that his prestige in the township is also extremely high, and the lord can know it by sending people to inquire. β
"And if you want people to follow, huh...... I'm afraid you have to think about your rhetoric. β
"Okay," Cao Cao nodded and smiled at Zhang Han: "Then you go into the palace, Your Majesty has asked several times, saying that once you return to Xudu, you will go to the palace immediately." β
"He seems to be quite dependent on you......" Cao Cao's eyes were suspicious, and he couldn't understand what happened to Zhang Han when he went to welcome Emperor Han that night.
Zhang Han scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Maybe, it was the grace of saving his life that night?" β
No, his crush is a hero of the world, and suddenly one day he comes to save him on a black horse and a gun, right?
Huh? The red rabbit I rode that day is still a shadow?!
Zhang Han himself has forgotten about it.
"Then, those thousand treasure horsesβ" Zhang Han's eyebrows danced, his expression flattering to the extreme.
Cao Cao said lukewarmly: "When Jizhou is successful, I will cash it out." β
Bah! Cao thief!!
The corners of Zhang Han's mouth twitched, and he turned around and entered the palace.
In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was full of laughter and laughter for a while, and there was a happy air.
β¦β¦
Royal Palace, back garden.
Zhang Han and Liu Xie have been gone for a while, and they have talked about their current strategies in Jizhou.
Liu Xie was amazed and worried: "Aiqing actually sent his eight hundred brothers of life and death to Jizhou, which is a dangerous place. β
"Then, do Aiqing still have credible henchmen by her side?"
"Alas," Zhang Han sighed slightly, bowed and said, "It's all for the sake of the saint, for the stability of the Han Dynasty." β
"When I heard about Jizhou's recital, I already understood Yuan Shao's intention, which was to avoid the important and light, and by the way, push me to the cusp."
"After all, I'm just a young secretary, and my status is low compared to Yuan Shao, how can I get into his eyes? His sudden praise like this is just a killing. β
"At that time, I thought, Your Majesty in Xu Du is no longer a child, how can he be provoked by this?"
When Liu Xie listened to these words, he kept nodding his head, looking extremely useful, and his face was smiling, and he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising.
"So, I only trusted Your Majesty, and then acted secretly, and then I placed 800 elite cronies, but these people are my friends of life and death, brothers who have died, and I don't know if they can return safely......"
Zhang Han's eyes were lost and sad, revealing sad emotions, at this time, Liu Xie's hand unconsciously put on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Aiqing doesn't have to be sad, I can care for these dead soldiers, and not let their fearless dedication be neglected." β
Zhang Han smiled from an angle that no one was paying attention to, pretended to wipe his face, and when he raised his head, he was already full of gratitude, "Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty." β
"Your Majesty's kindness, if they know, they will do their best to hear the news for Your Majesty in Hebei and clear the way for our army to enter in the future."
"Well, Aiqing is very intelligent, I am deeply relieved to have this urgent wisdom, the situation in Hebei is unclear, and the prime minister has also said that Liyang is the most difficult pass to break through, and now he can't even let go of the sentinel, Aiqing's move can be said to solve this difficulty."
"Thank you Your Majesty for your appreciation, as long as the government and the opposition are peaceful inside and outside, and they are united with each other, it will not be difficult to recover the Northland."
Zhang Han said sincerely.
"At the end of this year, Aiqing can rest for a while."
"Yes," Zhang Han's eyes lit up, and he said: "There must be a lot of people in the court who inquire about the news, since Yuan Shao wants to harm me, he will definitely wait for the result, Your Majesty might as well remove me from the post of Shaoqing." β
"Aiqing!" Liu Xie was startled, turned his head and looked at him with concern, "That's not what I meant, I really let Qing Haosheng rest, don't overwork." β
"I know," Zhang Han smiled lightly, "Your Majesty's good intentions, how can the minister not know, but after the removal of his position, he can make the north more and more despised, but in fact, he is only doing it for others." β
"So, how about a demotion? After all, Aiqing is still meritorious, more than 80,000 people have been relieved of the disaster, and he has recruited a famous doctor like Mr. Zhongjing, and it may be surprising that he will be dismissed at once. β
"It's okay......" Zhang Han scratched his head, this conversation was also tentatively revealed, this majesty is really not ordinary to me.
I rely on it very much.
I don't know if I was too charming, or if it was the savior who tread the stream at that time, which he never forget.
But this is a good thing, Zhang Han doesn't feel worried.
After chatting with the Son of Heaven for a while, and after asking for a reward of five hundred gold, Zhang Han quickly left the back garden, went to the school field in front of the palace to find Dian Wei, and went back to the Mid-Levels Mansion together.
As soon as the two of them looked at each other, Dian Wei immediately came up, and asked angrily, "How is it?" You're not embarrassed, are you? Or is it really the same as Sun Qian, they guessed, and they were blamed? β
"No, I got a reward of five hundred gold, and at night I walked in the music house, called the two brothers, and I didn't get drunk and didn't return......"
Dian Wei paused slightly, and felt that his upper body was unconsciously leaning up, so Sun Qian, they all guessed wrong? Not only did he not have any, but he also cheated him of 500 gold, "Han is not empty", this is not.
In the evening, Zhang Han held a banquet in the Lefang Yashe, and invited Xu Du's good friends, confidants and ministers, as well as Cao Ang, the new general of the five officials, and his attendant Yang Xiu, all of whom were familiar faces, and they were all civil and military heroes of the Han Dynasty, and they drank until late at night.
On the three-storey attic in the music square, blankets are laid out, and the furnishings are gorgeous and extremely elegant and noble.
In addition to the twenty-four beauties dressed in exotic costumes, they also effectively imitated the tables, stoves, and small wooden stools around the hearth in Zhang Han's house.
The wooden stool, built by Zhang Han, is upholstered and has a backrest at the back, making it quite comfortable to sit on.
When he brought it before, Guo Jia asked why he didn't use the "Wuzi", Zhang Han said that the "Wuzi" is not good, you have to have a backrest, and you can chat for a long time, after all, it is in your own attic house, you can be relaxed and lazy, and you don't have to be as restrained as in those big seats.
Three rounds of drinking.
Zhang Han sandwiched a large piece of vegetable leaves, put them on the case in front of him, and clamped nine fish bones, looked around, straightened his waist, leaned behind him silently, and moved his buttocks comfortably.
Guo Jia glanced at it, shook his head and was defeated.
"Bo Chang, he has become more and more powerful, and he was a fierce general at that time, but I am afraid that he is unparalleled in the world."
He sighed deeply, his face was unwilling, and a sense of decadence that he had never felt before hit his heart, Guo Jia never thought that one day he would be defeated so completely.
Most of the civil and military officers present knew what it meant, and they toasted Zhang Han one after another, and their words were full of admiration.
Only Yang Xiu and the new junior Jia Ji didn't understand at all, they were confused, looking at each other left and right, and they didn't understand what these people were admiring?
Whatever the situation is admired.
One leaf, nine fish bones, what does it mean?!
"Huh?"
Yang Xiu was stunned suddenly, and then the originally handsome pretty white blushed a little, "It can't be, nine times a night, right?" β
Cao Ang beside him turned his head and shook it, "Of course not." β
"Oh......" Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay, the pillars of the Manchu Dynasty are present, the civil and military are all the best talents, and they hold power one by one, how can they talk about these things?! If my father had known, wouldn't he have rebuked me severely when he returned......
"Look at that leaf," Cao Ang's gaze guided him, and Yang Xiu leaned over: "Well, how's that?" β
"It was all night, so it means, all night, nine times."
Yang Xiu: "......"
Numb, destroy.
That's really what they're talking about? Now that the world is falling apart, how much lost land has not yet been recovered, and the people on the border are still miserable, how can they - how can they do it nine times in one night?!
No, why do you want to talk about these things!!
Jia Ji also had a bitter face, before he came, his father also asked him to learn more from Guo Xianjiu and Xifujun, as well as Sun Qian and Mi Zhu, who joined the army at the table, are all people with good eloquence and long-term vision.
I now understand why my father didn't mention the prince and the marquis, Jia Ji said in his heart, he originally thought that it was because Zhang Han had a respected status and was a talented person, and his reputation was widely spread, so he didn't need to mention it specifically.
Who knows......
Who knew he could do it nine times in one night, and his physique was too strong, right? Aren't you afraid of the loss of Zhongqi and the invasion of all kinds of evils in the future?
Zhang Han put down the bowl of wine, the night was still long, and the girls of the music room were still pleasing everyone with their rhythm, Zhang Han looked at Yang Xiu and said: "I heard that the young man Dezu is smart and good at solving word puzzles, right?" β
"On the way to northern Hebei, there was a stone tablet left by Cai's family, and there were four words on the tablet: a young woman with yellow silk and a grandson, what is the explanation?"
Yang Xiu thought for a while and said bitterly: "Wonderful words." β
"Eh, smart!" Zhang Han looked left and right, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were both smiling and silent, but Jia Ji admired it tightly, and he could guess it after a little thought, if it weren't for Yang Xiu's great fame and coming from Hongnong Yang's family, I am afraid that he would have thought that he knew the mystery in advance.
Zhang Han said: "This is a completed inscription, but it is not a novelty, after all, many people have seen it, and I said that one has not seen it." β
"Moreover, it is necessary to use one word and break it down into an act, and if you guess correctly, Dezu can get it tonight."
Yang Xiu was stunned, ah?!
There was a guess in his mind immediately, if he got "it", then this thing must be a rare treasure, or a silver coin, so he could use "get" as a lottery head, he laughed at the moment, and said with interest: "Come, prince, please speak!" β
That's good! Use these anagrams to wash away the disillusionment a little.
Otherwise, alas, I really don't have an eye on these Cao Ying's pillars, so I can only say...... No wonder Xun Lingjun mentioned these three people every day, he would be so angry that he would scream and couldn't sleep all night.
A moment later, Zhang Han wrote the word "Rong" on the case.
Yang Xiu looked at it and was stunned on the spot.
This one word, what does it mean in four words? And it has to be one?
"This ......"
He wanted to blurt out an answer right away, but found that what he was thinking about was not dismantling the anagram, but making words, and this was not the answer to the puzzle.
"Hiss......" Beads of sweat slowly oozed from Yang Xiu's forehead, and he found that he couldn't answer.
These gadgets that are fun on weekdays, but he is proud of his quick wit, although his father often said that this is a little clever, and you can't indulge in it and enjoy yourself, but Yang Xiu still thinks that no one can beat it when it comes to this way.
Today, I met someone who couldn't answer.
He glanced at Zhang Han awkwardly.
Zhang Han's face was slightly red, and he faced everyone: "Everything is the same, whoever answers, can quietly tell me that you can have this thing tonight!" β
Not long after, Guo Jia got up directly, attached his ear to Zhang Han's ear, and whispered a few words, Zhang Han was happy, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Zhang Han nodded again and again: "Okay, okay...... My brother is really very intelligent. β
"The evening must be arranged!"
Yang Xiu looked at it all over the side, and he was stupid.
What is it that you can guess?!
"You've already guessed it?!"
Yang Xiu had a feeling of being frustrated.
Guo Jia's eyes widened, he looked left and right in a daze, and said blankly: "You, can't you guess?" It's easy. β
