Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

A few days later, the privy envoy Wang Pu Xianping made the plan of Jiaozhi, and Guo Shao was overjoyed.

Guo Shao forgot where he saw a few words, politics|politics is the art of compromise. He thought it would be easy to deal with the Jiaozhi regime at this time, but Wang Pu's strategy seems to be very slow... After weighing it again and again, he thought it would be beneficial to reach an agreement with the ministers as much as possible, and agreed to Wang Pu's suggestion.

Prime Minister Li Gu immediately recommended Cao Bin to lead the dispatch of "all deployments in the south", and Guo Shao took it for granted. In my impression, Cao Bin has a lot of experience in dealing with the southern infantry, and he was the one who won the Southern Han Kingdom.

I asked where Cao Bin was, but he was not in Beijing. He was busy building the "Guardian" Yamen in the Liaoxi Corridor.

Guo Shao immediately delivered an order to Cao Bin to put aside his work and report to Tokyo immediately.

... After Cao Bin received the decree in western Liaoning, he hurriedly packed his things and prepared to return to Beijing quickly.

After a few days to Hebei, he met a person who greeted him on the post road in the evening. After Cao Bin asked, he looked at his face again, and then he confirmed that it was Feng Jiye. The place I passed by was Feng Jiye's hometown.

Feng Jiye's face was not kind. Of course Cao Bin knew what kind of bird he was, but this man captured Li Yiyin in the northwest and made him the Marquis of Kaiguo, so Cao Bin had to show some face.

Feng Jiye spoke politely in front of Cao Bin. He bowed and said, "I know Mr. Cao has some important business to do, but it's getting late, Mr. Cao also wants to find a place to stay. If Mr. Cao doesn't mind, he will go to the humble house for one night, and let me do my best as a landlord. I will not force you to stay tomorrow morning."

Cao Bin, who called himself a Confucian general, paid more attention to etiquette. After hearing what he said, he no longer refused, and immediately said: "Then respect is worse than obedience, and there will be more nagging."

Feng Jiye clapped his palms and said happily: "Mr. Cao is a general after all, please be happy! Please!"

When he arrived at Feng's house, Cao Bin saw that all the fertile fields around a new villa had been turned into pastures, and asked Feng Jiye that he was herding sheep in Hebei.

Cao Bin followed into the manor, and said: "General Feng is very interested, he doesn't like fame and fame, he likes shepherding sheep."

"Alas!" Feng Jiye sighed, "To be honest, although I have a title and a generous salary, I still don't have any errands. What can I do if I don't raise sheep?"

Cao Bin pretended to be surprised: "Didn't General Feng serve in Northwest China before?"

Feng Jiye said: "Northwest is Zhe De's decision. He didn't reserve a place for me, so I can't."

Cao Bin responded with a smile, without commenting.

When they arrived at the living room, a group of people came up to greet each other. Feng Jiye introduced them one by one, including the local county magistrate, celebrities in Yandi, etc. Cao Bin was not interested anyway.

The servant brought up the washing water and asked Cao Bin to sweat. It's getting late, and the food and wine will be served soon.

A whole pot of rice wine, followed by roast leg of lamb, haggis soup, fried lamb, and a large plate of dumplings. After starting the chopsticks, Cao Bin picked up a dumpling and saw that it was filled with mutton. Cao Bin couldn't help laughing and said, "General Feng is cooking a 'Full Feast of Sheep' today!"

Feng Jiye said: "I'm raising my own. Let's taste it. Eating mutton in this weather is a bit irritating, but this stuff strengthens yang and nourishes. At night, everyone can find a young lady to dispel the fire!"

Everyone laughed.

Cao Bin smiled and said nothing, he is a guest, no matter what the host cooks, it is always bad to dislike things.

Cao Bin had no idea what talents the group of so-called celebrities at the banquet had, but he soon realized that each of these people was drinking more and more, and they would open their mouths when they talked about persuasion. Cao Bin felt that there were so many tragic and generous people in Yandi, but today he also saw a lot of alcoholics.

Cao Bin was very drunk.

He was dragged into the bedroom to rest in a daze, he couldn't even see the ground clearly when he was walking, and he was helped in by someone. He collapsed on the bed and fell asleep, not knowing where he was sleeping at all, he could only smell a faint scent of smoked mosquitoes and see the embroidery on the silk of the bed curtain.

At this time, Cao Bin felt something delicate and slippery on his body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a little girl rubbing her ears beside him. Cao Bin struggled a little and refused, but couldn't understand what the girl said. At this time, it was very common for high-ranking families to use prostitutes to entertain guests. The government of the Tang Dynasty kept official prostitutes to entertain their colleagues. Cao Bin didn't think it was a serious matter, so he obeyed.

...Cao Bin didn't wake up until the next morning. He opened his eyes and found that the sun was shining outside the window.

Then he found a little lady with disheveled hair sleeping next to him. Cao Bin was stunned for a while, then vaguely remembered what happened last night, and didn't pay much attention to it, looking for his clothes under the bed to wear. The little lady also woke up, her eyes were red and she was very ashamed|she looked shy and was covering herself.

At this time, Cao Bin suddenly noticed some Luohong, and was slightly surprised, "You..."

The little lady was very calm, and said clearly: "I am A Lang's younger sister, and I have admired Duke Cao's heroism for a long time. I don't blame Duke Cao."

Now Cao Bin's eyes widened immediately, and he almost jumped up! A Lang is the nickname of the head of the family and the male master. Who is the "A Lang" of the Feng family? !

"General Feng's sister?" Cao Bin asked exaggeratedly.

The little lady nodded slightly.

Cao Bin was fidgeting all of a sudden, thinking that no matter what kind of bird Feng Jiye was, at least he was the founding marquis of the emperor himself, and he was among the nobles with military meritorious service... But this guy is also capable of doing such a ridiculous thing, serving his guests with his unmarried sister?

Cao Bin was so drunk last night, how would he know who this bitch is! But this is the end of the matter, Cao Bin can't blame this little girl.

He frowned and said, "Miss Feng is pure and pure, and a daughter of a noble family, but Mrs. Cao has already married a wife and had children, why don't you let her down now?"

The little lady said: "It's not hard for Cao Gong. If Cao Gong doesn't mind it, I'm willing to be a concubine next to Cao Gong to make the bed for you. If I don't like it, just pretend it's nothing. Anyway, I was willing last night."

Cao Bin took two steps, only thinking that Feng Jiye had the final say on the affairs of the Feng family, so he quickly put on his clothes and went out to find Feng Jiye.

When Feng Jiye was waiting in the living room, Cao Bin wondered if this fellow would threaten him with this matter and make trouble for himself? Cao Bin was very upset, he is a very famous person.

Not long after, Feng Jiye came in with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Cao drank too much yesterday, so I didn't ask someone to wake you up this morning. But if it takes two or three hours, it's okay. I'll ask someone to make some breakfast."

This guy didn't even mention his sister at all.

Cao Bin opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak, he really couldn't speak, and he didn't know what to say to him after opening! Cao Bin pondered for a moment, and could only say: "Wait a minute, General Feng, I won't have breakfast. I am here to Beijing because I was summoned by the officials, so it is inconvenient to linger. Otherwise, in case some well-fed official submits a memorial, it would be bad for me to eat, drink and stay with General Feng."

After hearing this, Feng Jiye nodded solemnly and said, "Mr. Cao is right. I have prepared some dry food. Mr. Cao will eat it on the way."

Cao Bin stood up from his chair, and Feng Jiye also got up to say goodbye.

At this time, Cao Bin said calmly: "General Feng is so brave and good at fighting. It will be a loss for the court after all to stay at home. I wonder if you have the intention to go out to serve?"

Feng Jiye was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Of course! I... I'm going to get sick soon! I heard that Mr. Cao is going to use troops in the south. If you don't give up, I will do my best for you!"

Cao Bin said: "What you heard is good, but the south is a barren and miasmatic place. General Feng is really going?"

Feng Jiye said: "If you want to be comfortable, wouldn't it be comfortable to stretch out your hand in this newly built villa?"

Cao Bin smiled, looked at Feng Jiye earnestly and said, "My words just now are not compliments. General Feng has the courage and decisiveness to murder, but what he lacks is too hostile. Listen to me, this is not the time of war in the Five Dynasties. General Feng's temper needs to be changed!"

Feng Jiye hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed solemnly: "Mr. Cao has taught you well."

Seeing this, Cao Bin nodded and said, "If you are willing to listen to my orders in battle and stop killing innocent people indiscriminately, I will recommend you as the deputy commander after I enter Beijing."

Feng Jiye was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Cao, for your kind words!"

Cao Bin cupped his fists in return and said, "General Feng, we will meet later."

Cao Bin's entourage was ready, and the group left Zhuangzi, and Feng Jiye led the group to the gate.

Everyone went south along the post road, and there was a young man named Lu Duan beside Cao Bin who was ready to assist with official duties. After making friends many times, Cao Bin felt that this person was often confused, but he always had unique insights on important matters, and he couldn't copy others, so he liked him very much.

Cao Bin beckoned Lu Duan to catch up, and said on horseback: "What does Lu Qianniu think of Feng Jiye?"

Lu Duan said without hesitation: "Duke Zhen (Shi Yan) has a violent temperament and bloodthirsty, squinting at others and not practicing etiquette, but he is straightforward and loyal. The founding marquis (Feng Ji) is violent and likes to kill, but he likes to exploit."

Cao Bin frowned and said, "How can you see that?"

Lu Duan said bluntly: "Zhe Gong, who supported the whole northwest frontier affairs, did not catch Li Yiyin, but he caught Li Yiyin instead. Isn't he capable?"

Cao Bin looked at driving the horse, remained silent for a long time, and asked again: "People always change their mistakes."

Lu Duan actually uttered a rough word: "A dog can't change eating shit."

Cao Bin was stunned, and stopped asking, "Drive!" He yelled, and quickened the pace of his horse.

Cao Bin was very embarrassed, and he didn't like people like Feng Jiye either. She slept with the younger sister of the Feng family last night. Although Feng Jiye didn't use this as a threat, Cao Bin always felt sorry for leaving just like that.

He has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he knows that it is rare to be brave and useful on the battlefield, but the more such people are, the more flawed they are, the truth is that no one is perfect. Cao Bin weighed over and over all the way, thinking that he should bring Feng Jiye by his side and train him well, and he should be able to see some results.

If you can teach the court a good general who is good at fighting, it will be good for the country and the people.

Two days later, Cao Bin waited to cross the Yellow River and stayed at Chenqiaoyi. Cao Bin asked Lu Duan who he wanted, and Lu Duan recommended Zhang Jiankui. So before Cao Bin arrived in Beijing, he already had a good idea of ​​personnel affairs.
