In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Chen got up early.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature in the morning is slightly cooler.

Zhao Chen played a section of Baduan brocade in the yard to warm up his body.

The more he insisted, the more Zhao Chen felt that his body was strong, and his spirit was getting better and better.

Mi Luyun personally made breakfast, and the Mi family's guards sent a change of clothes and a letter.

Zhao Chen was eating breakfast while listening to Lu Yun reading the letter.

The letter said: Please serve the military advisor well, from this moment on, the Mi family is your most solid backing, and it is also the backing of the military advisor. Everything is subject to the words of the military advisor, remember to remember.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, this time he was completely tied to the Mi family.

Mi Luyun also showed a rare smile.

Suddenly, a guard hurriedly came to report.

"Strategist, the lord is here!"

Zhao Chen nodded, Liu Bei must have something important to do when he came early in the morning, and he would not disturb his sleep in ordinary times.

He turned around and motioned to Mi Luyun to go back to the room for the time being, not to come out.

was seen by Liu Bei, then it would be embarrassing.

Liu Bei's wife is still in Xiapi, but he already has three women in his heart, so he can't say anything.

Mi Luyun saluted Zhao Chen very interestingly and returned to his room.

Zhao Chen got up alone and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Liu Bei's greeting from afar.

"Houde, I'm really embarrassed, there is one thing I can't figure out, so I have to come to ask Houde."

"The lord is polite, and it is the duty of the lord to relieve his worries."

Zhao Chen prepared to salute.

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Houde doesn't have to be polite, we have words first." When there is no one in private, you and I are friends, not the main minister, I call you Houde, you call me Xuande, and get along equally. ”

"Xuande!"

Zhao Chen accepted generously, and reached out to the courtyard to make a "please" gesture.

Getting along with a lord like Liu Bei, Zhao Chen just felt very relaxed.

There is no suspicion, only 100% trust.

There are ministers in front of people, and people are close friends, the number of etiquette is in place, the level is different, and then you can raise a glass to invite the bright moon, which is the best relationship.

In the yard in the early morning, the sun has already spilled in.

The stove had already burned in the middle of the courtyard, and Zhao Chen was boiling tea in the same way as Mi Zhu.

The tea at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was different from modern times, basically by boiling, and even wine could be boiled, so many poems were boiled tea with small foam, and wine was boiled to talk about heroes.

"Houde is really good tea."

Liu Bei naturally sat in the guest seat and left the main seat to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen is not pretentious, after all, he is the master in the courtyard, and Liu Bei is the guest.

Then he stroked the teacup, poured three-quarters of the cup, and moved it to Liu Bei.

Welcoming guests with less than a cup of tea, a full cup of tea is to drive away guests, which is the most basic truth.

"The dust borrows the flowers of Xianhe to offer Xuande."

Zhao Chen couldn't inform Liu Bei of Mi Zhu's visit, this kind of blatant party and selfish business was the most taboo for the lord.

Therefore, in the matter of tea, Zhao Chen could only briefly describe the transaction between Huaiyin County Ya and Jian Yong to Liu Bei, of course, he downplayed the plot about the step trainer and the Wan family.

Liu Bei laughed and drank it all.

"It's a tea bought for ten taels of silver."

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Mi Luyun, who was hiding in the room, secretly looked through the window and squinted to observe the meeting between the two in the courtyard.

The story of Zhao Chen's ten taels of silver in exchange for tea made Lu Yun suddenly realize that the woman who was virtuous and had a heart for her heart was called a step trainer.

However, this can't shake Mi Luyun's determination, since he has entrusted this life to the man in front of him, he naturally has to accept everything from him.

However, she is also very glad of her choice, Zhao Chen is much more handsome than Liu Bei, and the key is still young.

Zhao Chen saw Liu Bei's relaxed appearance, and his heart also felt measured.

Today's business will not be tricky.

Sure enough, Liu Bei finished drinking the tea and said slowly: "I had an appointment with Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong before, and I admired the moon together on August 15, I don't know how the military adviser will arrange this matter?" ”

It turned out to be because of this.

Regarding the matter of the letter agreement, Zhao Chen had already thought about it last night.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no Mid-Autumn Festival in the traditional sense, and during the Wei and Jin dynasties, the folk began to have the Mid-Autumn Festival to admire the moon, but it has not yet formed a custom. In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was quite popular for moon viewing and playing with the moon, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was officially designated as a festival.

Although there is no Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon worship has been going on since ancient times.

"The Book of Rites" has clouds: autumn twilight and sunset. According to legend, in the Zhou Dynasty, every August 15th, the ancients would welcome the cold and worship the moon.

When Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty, there was a move to sacrifice the moon.

As for the appointment to admire the moon on August 15, Zhao Chen was originally just a whim, firstly, he had just taken Huaipu at that time, and the momentum of the army was still insufficient, and the appointment time could give everyone a sense of confidence, and secondly, it was also to let the Mi family know that Liu Bei's army was no longer what it used to be, and taking Guangling County was a matter of exploring the bag and taking things, and there was no doubt about it.

Zhao Chen put down the teacup and said his idea.

"Xuande, according to the dust, tonight's moon viewing should not only be done, but also grand."

Liu Bei was puzzled: "Houde, our army has entered Guangling for the first time after several battles, the autumn harvest has not yet begun, the grain and grass are insufficient, and the personnel are tired. ”

"Xuande cares about the people and admires it. It's just that this matter is unusual, and the reputation is great, but there is no need to be extravagant. ”

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?" ”

Zhao Chen sorted out his thoughts and patiently explained: "This time to enjoy the moon, Chen wants to invite the heroes of all walks of life in Guangling County and surrounding counties to appreciate the bright moon, talk about the past and the present, and comment on the heroes of the world, and then benefit the people." Now our army is initially set in Guangling, the army is beginning to show fatigue after the war, and it is necessary to enjoy the moon to release the pressure, and more importantly, the surrounding counties need capable people to guard, and our army is seriously lacking in civil and military generals, no one guards Guangling, it is easy to be Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and other forces take advantage of the situation, and in the future go north to recover Xuzhou, which is a hidden danger. ”

Liu Bei nodded, thinking slightly.

"Houde is reasonable, if there are warriors and heroes from all walks of life to join, there will be no one available, and Guangling will naturally be defended."

"Xuande is wise. Holding this moon viewing, Chen thought that there were three major benefits. ”

"First, now that there are constant wars, the people can't even eat, let alone festivals. Guangling County held a moon appreciation activity, for the people to come, it is a favor, our army can distribute food, accept the hearts of the people, and show that the people of Guangling County governed by the lord live and work in peace and contentment, peace and stability. In this way, it will definitely attract the population of the surrounding area to pour into Gwangneung County. People are the foundation of the country, and we must not ignore them. ”

"Second, fulfill the agreement with the Mi family, let the Mi family increase face in many families, and also let the scholars understand that the more they are put into the account of the lord first, the more the lord will be reused. This is the best stimulus for those who are hesitant. ”

"Third, and the most important point, our army has just entered Guangling City, and we are not familiar with the place, so we need a moon appreciation activity to let the people and the surrounding scholars know the lord, and pull up a big banner for our army to take Xuzhou and chase the Central Plains in the future."

Listening to Zhao Chen's counts of advantages, Liu Bei was full of smiles and clapped.

"The words of virtue made Bei Daigo empowered, and I couldn't imagine that a small moon appreciation on August 15 would have such an effect. This matter is troubled and worried, and the people of Guangling City will enjoy the moon together tonight! ”

"Dust obeys. However, in order to achieve this, one person needs to speak. ”

Liu Bei asked, "Who?" ”

Zhao Chen smiled and said mysteriously: "This person should be on the way, with him, the moon appreciation activity can really play a role." ”

Liu Bei looked at Zhao Chen, who was dumb, and thought to himself, I don't know which family's son is going to suffer again, and it is not a good thing to be targeted by Zhao Chen.

Mi Luyun, who was hiding in the room and watching, couldn't help laughing.

Liu Bei looked for prestige and asked, "Houde, is there a woman?" ”

When Zhao Chen heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly replied: "Maybe it's a cat, there are only you and me in this yard." ”

Liu Bei looked at the windowsill in disbelief and nodded.
