Han Xiang

Chapter 14 I'm Not Drunk

Hao Meng had to say to each other: "Since Yuan Shu wants to draw on Lu Bu, it is impossible to win only this general. Han Yin went to Chen Gong tonight to discuss this matter. He will get drunk on Long Xiang's cliché later. First, he should understand the reality of Huainan and then Let's talk to Chen Gong again, if it is not foolproof, I will not take the risk easily."

"That's fine, I'm afraid that Long Xiang's position is inferior and he won't be able to ask useful information." Cao Xing nodded slightly.

Hao Meng sneered and said, "It may not be useless to see the small things."

"The general still feels that the risk is too great. If the action fails, we will all die without a place to die." Cao Xing's mood repeated again.

Hao Meng squinted his eyes, and there was a cold light in his pupils, "It's the so-called wealth and wealth that you seek in danger, but I will be in charge of the defense of Xiapi City, so I may not be able to act so dangerously. Lu Bu captured Cao Cao's Yanzhou before, and then captured Liu Bei's Xuzhou. Which time was it not? Cooperating with the inside and the outside? It’s not a big problem.”

"Oh." Cao Xing nodded thoughtfully.

Hao Meng took the opportunity to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Lu Bu has a despicable nature. You are alone and don't understand it. When you marry a beautiful wife and concubine and come home, I'm afraid you will react more than I do."

"Hey, it is said that it is a habit of the frontier, learned from the barbarians outside the Great Wall. I heard that when we first came to Xuzhou, General Lu invited Liu Bei to sit on Mrs. Yan's bed, and asked Mrs. Yan to hold the lamp herself."

Before Cao Xing finished speaking, Hao Meng interrupted with angry eyes: "Liu Xuande is also from the frontier, why did he refuse on the spot? Lu Bu likes to follow this bad habit of the frontier. He went to play with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun by himself. He would have been in Hanoi." People are from Hanoi!"

Although Cao Xing didn't feel the anger Hao Meng showed at this time, he had heard it in private, and knew that Hao Meng was not the only one who suffered, so he didn't continue to persuade him. ("Heroes" contains 'Taizu said: "Qing betrays his wife and loves the generals' wives, why is it so thick?" Bu Moran.')
The two made up their minds to sort out their emotions, and strode to the front hall to meet Long Xiang and Feng Zhong.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Hao Meng and Cao Xing began to cooperate in persuading them to drink.

The so-called soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, Cao Xing called a group of soldiers and generals to surround Feng Zhong for a drink, and let Hao Meng, who can drink very well, face Long Xiang alone.

Long Xiang couldn't stop Hao Meng's 'enthusiasm', and pretended to be confused after a few big cups in a row. Seeing him blinking non-stop, Hao Meng felt that the time was ripe for him to talk.

"Huh? Is the piece of meat on the side stuck? Why can't you pick it up?" Long Xiang shook his head and deliberately held the chopsticks, clamping the side ears of the copper tripod that served the vegetables. It was useless to clamp it several times.

Seeing this, Hao Meng suppressed a smile, raised his glass and walked to Longxiang's table, helped him put the meat from the tripod on the plate, and asked meaningfully: "General Long really doesn't drink much, and he showed drunk so quickly. Hurry up and eat some sauced meat to weigh down your stomach."

Long Xiang leaned over the desk with both hands, shook his head violently, suddenly put away the chopsticks and started directly, grabbed the sauced meat and chewed it in his mouth, muttering: "I'm not drunk, I'm really not drunk."

"How's the wine and meat in Xuzhou?" Hao Meng asked softly.

"The sauced meat is delicious, I haven't tasted it for a long time." Long Xiang directly reached out to the cauldron, devouring it wolfishly, completely disregarding the so-called gentleness.

Hao Meng frowned suspiciously, and asked curiously: "The general is from Shouchun, a big city, and the conditions should be better than Xiapi. How about the food in your army?"

"Meals in the army? Brown rice is served every day, so you can eat enough to fill you up." Long Xiang shook his head nonchalantly.

Hao Meng thumped when he heard this, and wondered how could Yuan Shu, who had enough soldiers and provisions, treat his soldiers so harshly?He thought for a while and then asked: "General Long was ordered to go to Xuzhou. To be able to take on such a heavy responsibility, General Yuan must be a capable general. I don't know where he is now?"

"What job? It's just that he inherited his father's shadow and served as Qu Hou." Long Xiang shook his head, his tone mixed with unwillingness, and suddenly lowered his head in the middle of speaking, and added mysteriously: "The general doesn't know, I will be promoted soon, Mr. Han I have already agreed, Hui Shouchun will recommend me as the Sima of the Army, and when I introduce it to General Lu in the afternoon, I will already be the Sima of another department."

"Really? You're really young and promising." Hao Meng stroked her beard without moving her brows.

"In the territory of Huainan, no matter how talented you are, it's useless. You have to be born well to be promoted, or the lord and close ministers will be highly valued. If the family background is too low, it's just like my father... woo. woo. woo." Long Xiang said to himself After talking to himself, he burst into tears.

"General Long, what's the matter?" Hao Meng was at a loss for a moment.

Feng Zhong, who was besieged to persuade him to drink, heard Long Xiang's cry like thunder. He pushed aside Cao Xing and the others to find him, helped the crumbling Long Xiang, and whispered: "General, General"

Long Xiang cried a few times, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking completely drunk.

Seeing this, Hao Meng was very embarrassed, looked at Feng Zhong and said with a smile: "General Long is really a drinker."

"Since my general is drunk, I have to take him back to the post. Please forgive me, General Hao." After Feng Zhong clasped his fists and saluted, he carried Long Xiang on his back and was about to leave without waiting for Hao Meng's consent.

Seeing this, Hao Meng signaled Cao Xing with his eyes and said, "General Feng didn't know the way when he came to Xiapi for the first time, so let Vice General Cao accompany him."

"Thank you, General." Feng Zhong nodded in agreement.

Cao Xing asked his attendants to bring a stretcher, and carried Long Xiang back to the post house under the moonlight. On the way, he asked Feng Zhong about Long Yuan.

Feng Zhong respected Longyuan's spirit of sacrifice and felt that it was not a military secret, so he told Cao Xing about his comrade's deeds, which made him sigh.

After settling the 'drunk' Long Xiang at the post station, Cao Xing stayed for a short time before returning to Hao Meng's place.

As soon as the two met, Hao Meng asked anxiously, "How is the situation?"

"Then Long Xiang has already fallen asleep, and he has obtained circumstantial evidence from the soldiers at the post station. This person is indeed a light drinker. Did the general ask you anything just now?" Cao Xing asked back.

Hao Meng shook her head slightly, "This guy is too drunk, he only asks superficial answers."

Cao Xing suddenly said seriously: "The general once said that he knew little about it, and the general asked Feng Zhong on the road, and learned that Long Yuan, the father of Long Xiang, fled to cover Yuan Shu's main force, and led his troops to die in battle. Wei, but Long Xiang only attacked Qu Hou, thinking about it makes one's teeth chill."

Hao Meng pinched her chin and murmured, "No wonder Long Xiang lost his composure just now."

"Yuan Shu treats his loyal ministers so lightly, but I don't know how sincere he is to you." Cao Xing pointed out in a roundabout way.

Hao Meng recalled Long Xiang's words just now, and thought that he was not from a famous family, so he might not be able to be reused if he served Yuan Shu, but he had a high hatred for Lu Bu, so it is okay to have another choice now.

"Vice General Cao's direction, I haven't decided to rebel yet, I'll go back and listen to Chen Gong's opinion, we can't let our family take risks with this kind of decapitation." Hao Meng looked out the window with a stern face, the moonlight shone on him On that cold face, emotions like hatred have been accumulated for a long time, and they must be vented earlier, as long as Chen Gong can cooperate together, he is willing to go all out.

Cao Xing muttered to himself: "Chen Gong is very scheming, can he be tricked by Yuan Shu?"
