Chapter 569 A secret message from Hou Cheng! [Requesting a monthly pass]
Not long after, an electric commuter car drove over. Two helpless middle-aged people were sitting in the car. Behind the car was a red-faced man riding a horse, who was sworn sworn brother to Sun Ce. Wei Yan Wei Wen Chang.
Guo Jia said with a smile:
"Chang Wen, get off your horse quickly. Since we received your news, we have been looking forward to it day and night, and finally you are here... This Are you your father-in-law and your father-in-law? Come and have some hot soup to warm yourself up. Thank you for your hard work after the long journey."
Guo Jia greeted me warmly and even used the intercom to call the person in charge of the recruitment hall. Cheng Lian came over quickly.
Wei Yan turned over and dismounted, raised his hands and asked:
"This kid is new here, and he doesn't know where to start..."
"I am Guo Jia from the Secrecy Bureau, have you heard of me, right?"
Hearing this name, Wei Yan saluted again without saying a word:
"I heard the generals mention Mr. Fengxiao on the way. I don't want to be so young and a vulgar warrior who doesn't know etiquette. Please give me Mr. Fengxiao." Forgive me, Mr. Xiao.”
"If you say this, let's go out. Let's go for a walk and go in for a meal."
Guo Jia's name has already spread throughout the military. This intelligence leader who claims to be able to even pry open the mouth of a stone, for There are no bottom lines for obtaining intelligence.
For a good person, after Guo Jia's interrogation, it is very likely that there will be a bunch of odds and ends, or only a bunch of odds and ends.
Anyway, as long as you are targeted by him, the best way is to confess quickly and never try to deny it, because the more you deny it, the more energetic Guo Fengxiao will be. He can even bring evil ghosts from the underworld to participate in the interrogation.
Wei Yan heard too many similar rumors along the way and thought of hiding from the Secrecy Bureau when he arrived in Chang'an. However, as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he was named by Guo Jia.
"Waiter, three big bowls of mutton soup, five pounds of cooked mutton, ten sesame seed cakes, and a refreshing cold dish."
"Okay, wait a moment, we'll be here soon!"
Ma Chao carried the teapot and poured hot milk tea for Wei Yan and the others. Seeing that Wei Yan's parents were a little restrained, he specially arranged them to a small private room next to them to let the couple calm down first.
Ma Dai observed the family of three and made inferences based on their clothes, accents, etc., and felt that the Wei family should be a wealthy family in Yiyang. The family had hundreds of acres of land and a group of servants, just like ordinary gentry. It's incomparable, but he is still considered a prominent figure in the village, so he can cultivate a proud general like Wei Yan.
Soon, the cooked mutton was brought over, and the waiter sent some mutton, side dishes, snacks and other food to the private room with a certain eye, so that Wei Yan's parents could eat and drink well.
Wei Yan took a sip of milk tea, and Deng Zhi smiled and greeted him:
"I am Deng Zhi, the legitimate son of the Deng family in Xinye, courtesy name Bonmiao. Welcome Wen Chang to Chang'an. There are many people from Nanyang here, and medical science Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing, the director of the hospital and Tai Hospital, Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, Li Yan and Li Zhengfang..."
Wei Yan obviously relaxed a lot with his fellow villagers around. Hearing that Zhuge Xuan gave up Feng Yi County and chose to go to Yunzhong. The county was appointed as the prefect, and he quickly stood up and saluted:
"It is my great fortune that Prefect Zhuge took the initiative to guard the border. If there is an opportunity in the future, Yan Yuanzhi will hold the whip and stirrup and serve as a guard under the prefect." "Pawn on the side!"
Zhuge Xuan laughed:
"Chang Wen, what you said is wrong. The current Yunzhong County may be a border pass, but in two years, it will be the hinterland of our Han Dynasty. The real border pass needs to be moved three thousand miles north."
< br>So many people gathered in the Jiuyuan and Yunzhong areas not just to compete with crickets and play poker. If they don’t take back their homeland that is thousands of miles away, they will not be able to accept the support of the imperial court.
His words made Wei Yan like it even more:
“Wherever the border is, I will help the court guard it!”
This is not Wei Yan’s big talk; He was really capable, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong by Liu Bei and served as the bridgehead to attack Cao Wei.
Zhu Ge A good choice. "
When the time comes, the Han Dynasty will expand everywhere, need talents everywhere, and gain military exploits everywhere. There is a high probability that people like Wei Yan will not be willing to serve as defenders.
After all, in the original work, he even proposed the adventurous plan to attack Ziwu Valley more than once.
Wei Yan is the kind of person who is naturally adventurous. He believes in finding wealth through danger, so when his life was bleak, he bet on Liu Bei who was on the run, and then he was reused.
If the strategy of surprise attack on Ziwu Valley is really successful, Wei Yan's historical status will be greatly improved, and there is a high probability that he will enter the Martial Temple to enjoy the incense.
A few people chatted while eating. By the time Cheng Lian arrived, everyone was already familiar with each other.
Cheng Lian once visited Wei Yan's home, but unfortunately Wei Yan had already left at that time, and he only saw Wei Yan's parents. When he saw the couple again, Cheng Lian even brought a gift specially.
After saying hello, Cheng Lian took a sesame seed cake and stuffed it with a few slices of cooked mutton and a chopstick of fried mustard shreds with oily hot peppers. He took a big bite of it happily and was about to ask Jiang Dong what happened. Looking at the situation at the border to see if the recruitment hall could win over a few more people, Wei Yan took out a letter from his arms:
"General Hou Cheng asked me to send a letter to Cheng Jijiu. Please read it." .”
"Oh? That guy Hou Cheng doesn't know a few Chinese characters, but he can still write letters? Can't they all be pinyin?"
After ridiculing his good brother, Cheng Lian tore open the envelope and took out the contents inside. Take out the letter paper and read it carefully while eating sesame seed cakes.
The letter is very simple, it is that Hou Cheng wants to recruit all the heroes in Jiangdong and prepare Cheng Lian to change his name to brother.
“I knew there was nothing serious to say.”
Cheng Lian stuffed the letter into the envelope and put it back in his arms. Then he ordered a bowl of sheep blood tofu soup and ate it with everyone. stand up.
After he had eaten and drank enough, he drove Wei Yan's family to the Talent Recruitment Hall in an electric tricycle and asked Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others to get close to Wei Yan. Then he rode a battery car to Weiyang Palace on the pretext of reporting to the emperor.
After brushing his face at the palace gate, Cheng Lian came to the palace and saw Liu Xie:
“Your Majesty, there is a letter from Hou Cheng.”
“Take it. Come out and take a look."
Cheng Lian agreed, took out Hou Cheng's letter, unfolded it, and pressed it on the table with the back side facing up.
Then he picked up a small watering can and sprayed some liquid on the back of the letter paper. Soon, some writing gradually appeared on the back of the letter paper:
"Erect a relay station in Xunyang County and set up a relay station on Tianzhu Mountain. Three sets, if Sun Bofu has second thoughts, he can report it to the court immediately."
After reading it, Liu Xie said:
"There are several sets of high-power ones in the B&B warehouse. Jitai antenna, if Chengjijiu has time, why not set it up under the guise of visiting the heroes of Jiangdong... Let the people from the Secrecy Bureau assist you. This matter should not be made public for the time being."
"Xia Guan. Now go prepare your luggage.”
Cheng Lian happened to want to visit Jiangdong. It was a rare opportunity to travel at public expense, so he couldn't miss it.
After he left the palace, Liu Xie came to the Taoist temple next to Weiyang Palace.
Soon, there were some unpacked solar power panels and a complete set of repeater equipment in the courtyard of the Taoist temple, as well as several four-wheel transport carriages with shock absorption functions, which could easily transport these Supplies are shipped away.
Zhang Lu and several Taoist priests loaded these supplies onto the carriage, covered them with tarpaulins, and affixed them with Tai Chi diagrams, Bagua diagrams and other Five Pecks of Rice decorations.
When Cheng Lian arrived with a team of 100 people, all the carriages were ready.
The Five Pecks of Rice Cult was responsible for covering up their whereabouts, and the people from the Secrecy Bureau were responsible for operating it. A secret liaison station capable of transmitting information took shape.
A group of people came to the city gate, and the gatekeeper greeted him curiously and asked:
"Chengjijiu, are you going out on business?"
"Yes, We went to Jiangdong to visit some talented people. The Imperial Master wanted to find a mountain builder to build a Taoist temple in the south, so we went together so that we could take care of him. "
In this way, everyone left Chang'an and headed towards Jiangxia County. And go.
In the real world, Li Yu went for a run after getting up. After breakfast, he drove to the fish market and got a piece of tuna that he had ordered.
When making dumplings, you need some different fillings.
In addition to tuna, he also bought a few kilograms of special black tiger shrimp, peeled the shrimp and mixed it into the meat filling. It will definitely taste unique.
On the way back, Li Yu called Lin Xu’s phone:
“Are there any precautions for making dumplings with tuna?”
"Get some cooked fatty pork, cut it into rice-sized dices and mix it in. The taste will be very different. This method can also be used for all kinds of shrimp dumplings, which can increase the flavor."
Back at the B&B, Mu Guiying asked:
“Can this meat be eaten as fish raw?”
Li Yu nodded:
“Yes, but it’s best. Don’t eat it, it’s easy to get parasites”
Mu Guiying opened the food documentary she watched last night and asked:
"As mentioned above, just eat fish with white wine. Liquor has a sterilizing effect."
Li Yu said with a smile. : "Don't listen to the nonsense above. If parasites were really that weak, there wouldn't be so many outpatient clinics and hospitals that specialize in treating parasites in areas where Yusheng is prevalent."
People in southwest China say mushrooms are not poisonous, and it turns out that hospitals even have professional fungus poisoning clinics. People in Sichuan and Chongqing say that eating spicy food does not cause internal heat, but the anorectal hospitals all over the street have exposed everything.
As for the Guangdong and Guangxi areas where Yusheng is rampant, doctors are very good at treating various parasitic diseases, while the island country next door that likes to eat Yusheng has richer experience in treating parasitic diseases.
Mu Guiying searched for photos of various parasitic diseases and immediately gave up the idea of eating raw fish.
She asked curiously:
“I keep talking about the diseases that other people are good at treating, so what are the doctors in the Central Plains good at treating?”
Li Yu thought about it. After a moment, the answer was given:
"Esophageal cancer, right? The Central Plains people like to eat very hot rice and porridge, and they are also keen on drinking all kinds of alcohol. The incidence rate of esophageal cancer is the highest in the country... Of course, the most common disease is the poor, who have no money, and have a minor illness. I can only wait for death."
"Don't worry, my beloved, if you get an incurable disease, I will visit famous mountains for you to seek elixir..."
Seeing that Li Yu is not feeling well. , Mu Guiying quickly started joking.
Diao Chan on the side asked speechlessly:
"Which god can be so proud that he needs to be begged by the disciples of the empress? If the husband is really sick, the mother-in-law can do it herself To cure it, there is no need for other gods to take action.”
Li Yu: "..."
You two cursed me for being sick so early in the morning. Do you want to be taken care of by the family?
Well, let’s find a way to educate the Queen tonight so that she won’t keep provoking you.
As for Baby Cicada, you can arrange two sets of Mathematical Olympiad test papers, no matter how big or small, just download those super math puzzles and see if she dares to be naughty.
Li Yu mixed the noodles first, and then started preparing the fillings.
Diao Chan rarely had any free time, so she quickly washed her hands and prepared to make dumplings together.
Mu Guiying held a stick of croissant and sat aside to chew on it:
"It's a pity that the Yunxiao brand automatic dumpling machine is not here, otherwise ten times more dumplings can be made quickly. Wrap it up.”
Li Yu said:
“Don’t just say whether you’ll wrap it up later, right?”
"Bao, definitely, our Muke village will hold a dumpling-making competition later. As the noble queen, I have to enjoy it with the people. But Xiao Feiyang, who is clumsy, can make dumplings bigger than the buns. I feel embarrassed.”
If you two elder brothers don’t laugh at your second brother, don’t say anything about the other... Li Yu mixed the stuffing, checked that it was still early, and prepared some cold dishes suitable for dumplings. .
At ten o'clock in the morning, a group of ancient people sat in the restaurant and started making dumplings under the leadership of Li Yu.
Everyone was busy making dumplings and cooking them in a pot for stewing meat. As soon as they were served, Mu Guiying took away a small pot.
Master will have a plate, Sister Yunxiao will have a plate, Xiao Feiyang will have a plate... Forget it, Sister Yunxiao will give you a special pot, it will not be enough for Qiongxiao Bixiao and Zhao Gongming.
The tuna made into dumplings really tastes different and very delicious, and the diced fat meat that Lin Xu suggested adding adds a bit more plump texture and the unique fragrance of animal fat.
Zhou Ruotong, who came specially for lunch, nodded and said:
"It's really delicious. I can make more of it in the future."
While eating, Lu Bu came and saw Everyone was eating dumplings, and without saying a word, they filled a bowl with them. They didn’t have time to peel the garlic, so they simply cut half an onion and held it in their hands. It was so refreshing to eat a mouthful of dumplings and a bite of onion.
“Is Tuoba Liwei’s family here?”
"They are all here, and no one has run away. According to the plan we made, their family, plus the leaders at the head of the rope, have exactly one bridge pile per person... If we use this method to drive raw piles, we will build a lot more bridges." Is it strong?”
Yuwen Chengdu suggested:
“Marquis Wen has thoroughly explored his experience this time and will promote this experience to Yizhou, Liangzhou, Xiyu, Youzhou, etc. If you want to build a bridge anywhere in the world, you can use the leaders of foreign tribes to drive the piles and use their lives to lay the foundation of China's prosperity."
What was originally a bloody matter was stunned by Yu Wen Chengdu's blood boiling, and Lu Bu clicked. He took a big mouthful of onions:
"If you want to say that, if you find Tadun later, you can't kill him directly... He is active in Liaodong, and then he will be used to drive the piles for the construction of the Liaohe River Bridge. As for Goguryeo's Leader, can be used to build the Yalu River Bridge.”
During the Three Kingdoms period, Goguryeo had gradually developed in the northeastern region, but it had not grown much. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that Goguryeo began to improve, and then it was brought back to its original shape by a combination of boxing by Li Shimin and Li Zhi.
It is very interesting to say that Xianbei, Wuhuan, Goguryeo, Khitan, Jurchen, Houjin... these ethnic groups all developed from the Northeast. For thousands of years, they have made a living by raiding the Central Plains.
When you turn back and fight back, you must occupy the northeast to prevent it from becoming a breeding ground for aliens again.
Zhao Yun asked:
"If the Northeastern people in the real world knew that we were attacking the three northeastern provinces like this, would they have any objections?"
Li Yu took a bite of dumplings and said:
“Ninety-five percent of the Northeastern people today are Han Chinese who crossed the Guandong River. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, they fled to the Northeast from Hebei and Shandong to take refuge... During the Qing Dynasty’s rule, The Manchus have always implemented high-pressure management of the Northeast and prohibited Han people from going to the Northeast. They came from that place for fear that another nation would emerge to replace the Manchus. "
Zhao Feng recalled the geography he had just learned in middle school. Then he asked:
“I remember the book said that there are many ethnic minorities in the Northeast. Are they not considered Han people anymore?”
“It’s just to enjoy the ethnic policy. If the bonus points are revoked in the future, If other policies are adopted, many ethnic minorities will become Han Chinese.”
There are Manchu Han in the northeast, Mongolian Han in the grassland, Hui Han and Uighur Han in the northwest, Tibetan Han in the plateau, and Zhuang Han, Yi Han, Miao Han, etc. in the south. They all join the minority groups for various reasons. of Han people.
As for the definition of ethnic minorities, it is not based on blood, but in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leaders felt that Big Brother has more than 100 ethnic groups, and we will reduce it by half to a full fifty-six. .
Lu Bu chuckled and said:
"I read the news a few days ago that some people in China went to Mecca to worship after all the hard work, but in the end they were kicked out because of their appearance... People I don’t look at the household registration on your ID card, but look at the facial features. If you have a Han face and someone’s cold ass, this news will make me laugh for years.”
After talking about this, Li Yu asked about the business. ：
"Have you started your return journey?"
"It has begun. Mr. Zhongde left three thousand people behind, using the food collected in the Xianbei camp as supplies, and stationed in the eastern foothills of Yinshan Mountain to prepare for the next move northward. Prepare.”
Tens of thousands of prisoners marched toward Jiuyuan at a very slow pace. Fortunately, there were drones hovering all the time, and the cavalry was divided into several small groups, although there were also several small-scale riots. , but after Cheng Yu's suppression, the Xianbei people are now as well-behaved as dogs.
Mu Guiying was very curious about Cheng Yu's methods, but Lu Bu was worried that it would affect everyone's eating dumplings, so he did not mention this, but changed the topic to talk about something else.
After finishing the dumplings, Lu Bu filled up half a basin of dumpling soup and drank it slowly. Seeing that there were still some dumplings left, he took it to the World of the Three Kingdoms to help Cheng Yu improve his life.
Dian Wei rode over and reported to Lu Bu:
"The wolves behind have eaten those carcasses. They are obviously not full and are still hanging around behind the team. Should we shoot those wolves?"< br>
The method of suppression that Lu Bu did not mention at the dinner table was to cut the troublemakers into pieces of meat and throw them on the roadside to feed the wolves.
However, those wolves that have eaten human flesh cannot be kept, otherwise they will develop the habit of eating human flesh and continue to attack humans in the future.
Lu Bu said:
"There is no need to shoot them first. The wolves hanging at the back will give the prisoners a sense of urgency. When they stop tracking, we will shoot all the wolves and peel off the wolf skins to make leggings for the soldiers."
"Okay, I'll go right away... Mr. Zhongde, what do your dumplings taste like?"
Cheng Yu smiled and handed him another dumpling:
"Eat whatever you want. Why have you become so coy?"
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing Mr. Zhongde's elegance?"
Cheng Yu said with a smile:
"I have never been interested in eating, but I am more interested in killing people... Wenhou, your Majesty is really going to let me serve as the prefect of Yanmen? What about the foreign races around Yanmen? Have a good time!”
