Chapter 11 Confucian demeanor

Of course, the war needs to be paid attention to, but it is also necessary to pass. So when the situation in Xuzhou was slightly stabilized, Zhao Feng proposed to Liu Bei to march to Qingzhou and Yuzhou.

"What the waves say is not bad, but now the middle of winter is coming, and the road is frozen. Let's wait for the spring to bloom next year." Liu Bei listened to Zhao Feng's suggestion and replied. Zhao Feng was also a little speechless. After crossing, he often ignored some simple questions. For example, he forgot that the ancient roads were all mud, and the road conditions were very poor in winter, which was not suitable for military operations at all.

"You still need to pay attention!" Zhao Feng realized this time that being a traveler does not mean that everything is prophetic, and some details still need to be learned slowly. However, there are also benefits in winter. Several groups of yellow turbans in Qingzhou in the north were beaten by Zhang Yi, a general sent by Yuan Shao, so they came to Xuzhou to defect to Liu Bei. Since the collection of Guan Hai, Liu Bei has tasted the sweetness of the collection of yellow scarves. Now there is no resistance at all, so these people have been placed in Pengcheng County.

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching. According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, every winter solstice, the governors of the state and county have to have a banquet with their subordinates, summarize the work of the year, and also strengthen the relationship between each other. This year is Liu Bei's first year in Xuzhou. It is most important to have a good relationship with everyone, so this friendship is the highlight. Except for Chen Deng, who was far away from Guangling to guard Yuan Shu, all the other county magistrates were present, and even Picheng Cao Bao came. On that night, everyone had a big feast in the assassin's mansion and celebrated with wine. For a while, the banquets were staggered, and the singing and dancing in front of the court were also a rare time of peace in troubled times.

It's easy to be enthusiastic when you drink a lot of people. Zhao Feng now looks at the people who are already a little crooked, and his mind is relatively clear. The degree of this ancient liquor was too low. Zhao Feng felt that it was almost no different from drinking beer, and it felt very ordinary to drink it one by one. Or are you too little to drink?" Zhao Feng looked at Jian Yong, who was already blushing, and sighed secretly. Suddenly, he remembered something and hurriedly walked to Zhao Yu, the governor of the East China Sea, who was not drunk.

"Zhao Taishou, I have something to give here." Zhao Feng took out a piece of white silk from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yu. The latter took it over with a smile, but after he saw it, his already drowsy head was suddenly drunk.

"General Zhao, this thing is too precious. How can Yu Hede receive such a generous gift from the general for no reason?" Zhao Yu said with a straight color. What is written on this white silk is nothing else, but the method of drying salt introduced by Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng heard last time that he still relied on boiling salt to extract salt at this time. The method of drying salt in later generations has not been popularized, so the price of salt is extremely expensive. Feeling this, Zhao Feng wrote down the method of drying salt on this white silk in detail, hoping to reduce production costs so that ordinary people can afford salt.

"This thing is useless to me. Zhao Taishou can produce at least ten times more salt every year." Zhao Feng said with a smile. This is too expensive!" Zhao Yu sighed that this white silk details how to dig a salt pond, how to introduce seawater, and then build a salt field to evaporate crystals. Zhao Yu is an connoon in salt. According to a rough estimate, he can increase profits by at least dozens of times a year.

"If you don't get credit, you won't get it. Yushi doesn't dare to be beautiful." Zhao Yu resolutely refused to ask for Zhao Feng's advantage for nothing. The dispute between the two also attracted other attention. After understanding the situation, Zhang Fei, who was obviously a little drunk, said in his voice, "You two are both surnamed Zhao. Why are you so polite? Just forget it. This method of drying salt will not be separated from each other. The rest of the people also coaxed. In the end, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yu were not in love. They had to talk about their teeth and kowtowed in public. Zhao Yu was six years older than him.

"Brother!" Zhao Feng bowed his hand to Zhao Yu, and he was a little crying and laughing at such a hasty bow. Fortunately, Zhao Yu is humorous and talks about each other's deed. Liu Bei saw that his subordinates were drinking and fighting in a warm atmosphere, and finally he also sang with promiscuous bones.

"Little Zhao, didn't you see you learning to play the piano last time? How about a song today?" Zhang Fei was a little drunk, and everyone heard the words and made a fuss again. Zhao Feng was also in a good mood, so he ordered someone to take the guqin from the musician's hand and said with a smile, "Today's new song "Laughter in the Sea", please listen carefully." In my heart, I secretly meditated: Mr. Huang, I, Zhao Feng, admired you very much in my previous life. Now that I have become your predecessor, please show filial piety to me in this song. I was thinking nonsense in my heart, but my hand was not slow at all. Now I played and sang according to the merchant's palace:

Laughing in the sea, tide on both sides of the strait,

With the ups and downs of the waves, remember the present.

The sky laughs, one after another in the world,

Who loses and who wins? God knows.

The country laughs, the misty rain is far away,

At the end of the waves, how much do you know about the customs of the world?

The breeze laughs, which actually makes me lonely,

I also took a picture of the night.

Smiling, no longer lonely,

The pride is still there, and the smile is crazy.

At the end of the song, everyone is still thinking about it for a long time. After a long time, Liu Bei sighed: "This song is open-minded and generous, which really makes people feel happy. Bo Tao, I didn't expect that you are so proficient in rhythm. You are really a generation of Confucian generals, who should I give up to you!" The Lord is flattered!" Zhao Feng's face is also getting thicker and thicker. Hearing Liu Bei's praise, his face is not red and his heart does not beat, and he accepts it calmly. It's just a song that's not enough. Does Mr. Zhao still have it? At this time, Zhang Fei said with a grin. Third General, please listen to this song "Manjianghong" again!" Zhao Feng smiled and said that this song was adapted from Luo Wen's "Manjianghong" in his previous life. Now he played and sang again:

Angry, rushing to the crown, relying on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rests. Looking up, looking up at the sky and roaring fiercely. Thirty meritorious deeds, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't be idle, the young man's head is white, empty and sad! It's a shame, but it's not snowing. When will the minister's hatred be destroyed? Drive a long car and break through the lack of Helan Mountain. He was ambitious to eat Hu's meat, laughed and thirsty to drink the blood of the Xiongnu. From the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers and face the sky.

After singing this song, the generals in the hall applauded and praised it. It's really generous and heroic. I, Lao Zhang, have never heard such a refreshing song. Zhang Fei praised loudly, and Liu Bei and others also sighed for a long time. For a while, the atmosphere of the banquet reached **.

"Report!" At this time, a small school rushed in quickly, and everyone who was celebrating was stunned and knew that something had happened. What's the matter?" Liu Bei was always calm and immediately signaled the school to report.

"Report to the lord, Lv Bu said that he was defeated in battle with Cao's army, and now he leads the defeated army to Xuzhou. General Peng Cheng did not dare to make his own decisions. He sent me to report to the Lord and make a decision as soon as possible. The little school said. Silence, the originally lively hall was suddenly as silent as death. Wasn't Lv Bu still deadlocked with Cao Jun the day before yesterday? Why did it fail like this now? After a long time, Zhao Feng was the first to come to his senses and ask, which was also the most puzzled by everyone.

"It is said that Cao Yan designed to defeat Lv Bu, and Lv Bu had robbed all the families in Yanzhou before, so after the defeat, most of them fell into the well. Lv Bu couldn't defend the city and retreated again and again until Xuzhou. The person who came continued. So that's it!" Hearing this, everyone in the hall suddenly realized that Lv Bu had lost the hearts of the people and could not stand firmly in Yanzhou.

"Guys, now Lv Bu is poor enough to vote for me. What do you think we should do?" Liu Bei asked first. Lv Bu is an untrustful person, a generation of tigers and wolves. The lord must not take him in. If he is taken in, it will hurt his body. At this time, Mi Zhu was the first to move forward and admonish. Zhao Feng knew that all his chips were on Liu Bei now. He just married his sister to Liu Bei last month. Naturally, he didn't want to take in such a scourge to disturb Xuzhou.

"The three domestic slaves are not good people, big brother, wait for me to get his head." Zhang Fei's attitude is more direct. At this time, Cao Bao said, "Lv Bu is a tiger general in the world. If he can take it for his own use, then Xuzhou will get a lot of help."

Shit! Zhao Feng immediately understood the intention of this. He saw that he was out of favor in Xuzhou and wanted to rely on this foreign aid to make a comeback. In fact, it's true. After Cao Bao returned to Xia Pi, he was happy to return to his hometown at the beginning, but he felt uncomfortable for a long time. First of all, the former party either died in the battle with Cao Jian, or was transferred away by Liu Bei; then he was trapped in Xia Pi, and it was also a rare opportunity to go to another place. The power was not much less than before. Now that Lv Bu is here, Cao Bao feels that if he can have a relationship with Lv Bu, he may be able to develop again in Xuzhou.

Under different opinions, Liu Bei couldn't make up his mind for a moment, but turned his head and saw Zhao Feng meditating. He had always believed in Zhao Feng's eyes and asked quickly, "What do you think of this matter, Bo Tao?"

"Huh?" Zhao Feng's question to Liu Bei was also caught off guard for a moment, but he replied spoofly, "Master, this time Lv Bu is poor to vote. If I don't take him in, I'm afraid that no one else will dare to vote for me in Xuzhou. However, Lv Bu is an ominous person. If the lord takes him in, there is something that can't be prevented.

"What's the matter?" Liu Bei said strangely that everyone was also a little curious.

"The Lord must not accept Lv Bu as his adopted son." Zhao Feng said in a positive way.

Liu Bei: ":! #@#¥%¥%#%! %@¥#!!"
