After cooking a large table of food himself, Yuan Qi stood in front of the table with a smile and beckoned others to take a seat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info When Yuan Qi was cooking before, Jinyi sent someone to invite Fuyaozi over. Therefore, today's meal is said to be a family banquet, and everyone here is from the same family.

Fu Yaozi sat at the top with a smile, followed by Yuan Qi and his wife, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu sat on both sides, and Sun Ce sat at the bottom.

"Come, come, try the craft of so-and-so. Yuan Qi enthusiastically recommended the dishes he made.

Fu Yaozi and the others each picked up chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of food and put it in their mouths. Fuyaozi likes to eat light things, so he took a bite of green bamboo shoots, chewed it for a while, and praised it: "Not bad, the taste is very refreshing." After taking a sip of spicy chicken nuggets, everyone took a spicy chicken nugget and sweated slightly, picked up the wine glass and poured a sip of burning knife wine, then said: "Crispy and refreshing, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the most rare thing is that the spicy conditioning is just right, neither more nor less, which makes people's lips and teeth fragrant." ”

After tasting all the dishes made by Yuan Qi one by one, several people shouted one after another, even Sun Ce, who had never paid much attention to food, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "Master, your craftsmanship is really not covered, for the first time, I feel that the taste of food can be comparable to fine wine." In the past few days by Yuan Qi's side, Sun Ce has also learned some fresh words, such as Gai.

Yuan Qi smiled and stretched out his chopsticks, pinched a chopstick dish for Jinyi, and said to Sun Ce: "I see that in addition to practicing martial arts, you only have to drink, and there is no harm in having time to read more books in the future." "Because it was a family banquet, Jinyi was also able to be present and eat with everyone.

Sun Ce kept picking up the dishes in front of him and putting them into his mouth, and he was still holding a wine glass in his left hand and pouring a sip of spirits into his mouth from time to time, and said vaguely in his mouth: "Well, it's delicious." Ah, I've written it down, just read more books in the future. ”

Seeing Sun Ce gobbling up, the others smiled heartily. While talking softly, he happily enjoyed the delicious food made by Yuanqi. Except for Jinyi, everyone else is a martial artist, and because it is a family banquet, rules such as not saying anything about food and sleeping have long been thrown away.

A lunch ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and the table of dishes made by Yuan Qi was eaten by everyone, which made the maids who cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks a lot easier.

After a full meal, everyone sat in the main hall drinking tea and chatting. Zhang Long said: "Senior brother, I came here this time to serve under you, and I won't return to the north in the future." ”

Yuan Qi asked strangely: "You can come back, of course you are welcome." But why don't you stay under your uncle's tent and obey orders, but return to Youzhou?"

Zhang Long sighed, shook his head and said, "Senior brother doesn't know, a certain uncle is a general under Dong Meng's account. Dong Meng was a brutal and unkind person, and he recently learned that the eunuchs of the DPRK and the great general Fan Jin were fighting endlessly, and he intended to lead troops into Beijing to help one of them fight for power. A certain was really unbearable, so he came to join his senior brother, and more than 1,000 soldiers of a certain subordinate also came with him, and were camping outside the city and waiting. ”

After listening to Zhang Long's account, Yuan Qi's heart suddenly turned up with monstrous waves! Dong Meng, he was going to enter the capital! If it weren't for Zhang Long coming to tell him, he wouldn't have known that Dong Meng was already preparing to enter Beijing, and it seems that his intelligence system is still not perfect, and relying only on the elite horseback of the Tiangui Camp to spy on sentry posts, at most he can only find out the news within a radius of several hundred miles, and if he wants to clearly grasp the general trend of the world, he must establish a special team dedicated to spying on news in various places as soon as possible.

Sighing, Yuan Qi asked again: "You led your troops here, but what about your uncle?" Yuan Qi guessed that Zhang Ji must not have come with him, otherwise as Zhang Ji, he would definitely go into the city with Zhang Long.

Zhang Long said with some distress: "Although Dong Meng is brutal, he has the grace of knowing his uncle, so his uncle insists on refusing to come." ”

Fuyaozi said: "Forget it, this matter is reluctant." There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and in the future, if you think of a way, you can't let your uncle stay with Dong Meng alone. ”

Yuan Qi and Zhang Long both nodded, and they could only do this for now, and they would find a way to take Zhang Ji over in the future. After being silent for a while, Yuan Qi turned his head to look at Zhao Hu and said, "Zhao Hu, you and Zhang Long went out of the city to bring the brothers into the city." ”

Zhao Hu and Zhang Long agreed at the same time and turned to leave.

After the two left, Yuan Qi also stood up and said to Fu Yaozi: "Master, the disciple has some things to deal with, I'm afraid I don't have much time to spare in the past few days, and I will bother you with the matter of instructing Bo Fu to cultivate martial arts." ”

Fuyaozi nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, you're going to be busy with you." "For Yuanqi's disciple, Fuyaozi loves it from the heart, and treats Yuanqi as if he were his own descendants, except for the extremely strict requirements for Yuanqi when cultivating, other things can be said to be responsive, so Fuyaozi agreed in one bite.

Seeing Fuyaozi's promise, Yuan Qi gave Sun Ce a few words of encouragement, asking Sun Ce to humbly follow his master to cultivate. Sun Ce was naturally full of promises.

After explaining Sun Ce's affairs, Yuan Qi walked out of the mansion quickly, came to the meeting hall of the official office, and found Xun Luo and Jia Yuan who were working.

Seeing Yuan Qi hurriedly walking in, the two threw away the brush in their hands, stood up and saluted Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi didn't care about any etiquette at the moment, walked to the table in a few steps, and said in a condensed voice: "I want to set up a scout team, not a sentry, but a full-time scout, the kind that can spy on all the intelligence in the world." ”

Xun Luo and Jia Yuan were stunned by Yuan Qi's words, and wanted to spy on all the intelligence in the world, how easy is this to say? A puzzled look rose on the faces of the two at the same time.

Yuan Qi didn't have time to pay attention to their doubts, and said directly: "Dong Meng is going to Beijing." However, we don't know any information at all! If we fall behind, we will be beaten, and from now on, we hope that our army's intelligence will be delivered to us as soon as possible. Therefore, a full-time scout should be formed. ”

For Dong Meng, Xun Luo may not know so much about it, but Jia Yuan is very clear. Jia Yuan is also a native of Xiliang, and naturally has a deep understanding of Dong Meng, who is also from the same background. Hearing the news that Dong Meng was about to enter Beijing, Jia Yuan's face immediately became ugly: "This... Is it true? If Dong Meng is really allowed to enter Beijing, chaos is coming!" Jia Yuan is not a Yuan Qi, nor is he a traverser, so he naturally does not know what will happen in history, but Jia Yuan has wise thinking and keen insight, and he is shrewd to feel that the moment Dong Meng enters Beijing, it is the day when the chaos begins!

After being silent for a while, Xun Luo turned around and walked to a bookcase, took out a thin silk book from it, handed it to Yuan Qi, and said at the same time: "My lord, in the past half a year that our army has trained recruits and rectified armaments, Luo has sent people to collect some information, all of which are in this silk book, please take a look at it." ”

Yuan Qi glanced at Xun Luo, stretched out his hand to take the silk book, but asked in his mouth: "Since you have received these news, why don't you tell You?"

Xun Luo smiled bitterly: "The lord works hard for the military every day, and he really can't bear to let the lord bear other things." Jia Yuan interjected: "My lord, now our army is in charge of this huge Youzhou, but the strategists and scribes under the lord's command are really few and pitiful, and many things are handled by Xun Luo alone day and night, and he can't sleep well even with a certain person." ”

Hearing Jia Yuan say this, Yuan Qi knew how much work Xun Luo had. Every general and marshal with heavy troops has a team of think tanks behind him to give advice, on the other hand, because the speed of rise is too fast, resulting in an extreme shortage of manpower under his command, and the generals are better, although the number is not too much, but every military general can be in charge alone, and there is no problem for the time being; In addition to Jia Yuan, there are only six or seven people such as Lu Su and Gu Yong who can be reused, no wonder Jia Yuan, who has always been good at protecting himself, will confide in his hard work.

With a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face, Yuan Qi said: "This, it's a little difficult for you, and there is no way to do it now, when you have enough manpower in the future, you will naturally not be made so hard." It's just that the formation of scouts is urgent, and I hope you will work harder. As he spoke, Yuan Qi opened the silk album handed over by Xun Luo and looked at it.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. Many things greatly surprised Yuan Qi. In the silk album recorded by Xun Luo, there are several things that have attracted great attention from Yuan Qi. First of all, the three Taishan brothers left Gongsun Ruyun and their whereabouts are unknown. Yuan Qi knew about this for a long time, but to this day there is still no news about the three of them, which makes Yuan Qi feel very surprised. According to the trajectory of history, the next stop of these three brothers should be Xuzhou, but it happened after Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's subordinates killed Yugong Song, the father of Ugong Zhaolie, without permission.

The second thing is that the new Nanyang Taishou has already taken office, and it is no coincidence that it is Yuan Bai, who is quite incompatible with Yuan Qi. remembered that when he left Nanyang, he sealed all the money and grain in the treasury, and now it was all cheap Yuan Bai, a loser, Yuan Qi was annoyed.

The third thing that caught Yuan Qi's attention was that Qi Tian served under the subordinates of Bingzhou Assassin Shi Dingli, and the official was in charge of all the cavalry in Bingzhou. Seeing this news, Yuan Qi remembered in a trance that when he said goodbye to Qi Tian, Qi Tian did say that he wanted to vote for Ding Li, because Ding Li guarded the border pass and fought with the Xin barbarians for a long time.

There is another thing, the Yuan family where Yuan Ding is located, under the initiative of the contemporary head of the family, Taifu Yuan Huai, colluded with the general Fan Jin, intending to jointly kill the eunuch party and then control the government. Unexpectedly, the matter was leaked, and the eunuch party took the lead to frame Yuan Huai for a capital crime, and put Yuan Huai in prison, and soon after, Yuan Huai was poisoned in the prison. Yuan Ding fled the capital alone, and his whereabouts are unknown. As for Yuan Ding's whereabouts, Yuan Qi could probably guess that he must have returned to the old land of Jizhou and recruited people to make a comeback.

Other than a few things above, there is nothing else important. It's really difficult to take the time to record this useful information in my busy schedule. Although ordinary people can't see anything about this information, Yuan Qi understands it very well, these things are really not worth mentioning alone, but when taken together, they show the omen of imminent chaos. If it weren't for the knowledge of later generations, Yuan Qi would not have been able to see any clues in these things.
