Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The only person who was not perfunctory was Cao Ang, who really hosted a banquet for He Laiba.

After traveling a long distance and braved the wind and snow to come to Jiuquan from places other than Mobei, He Laiba was already exhausted, but finally he was able to eat a mouthful of hot food, and his body and mind relaxed a lot, and he also relaxed.

Then, Cao Ang asked someone to take him down, take a bath and rest, and even arranged a relatively luxurious room.

"Han people really know how to enjoy."

Sitting on the bed, He Laiba said with emotion: "Compared with us living in tents, the houses of the Han people are much better, and living on horseback is much better, and even the food is more abundant. No wonder the Huns keep wanting to go south. gone."

Even if they are Xianbei people, they are unwilling to be lonely now, and they have taken a fancy to the land of the big man.

On the other side, Cao Ang called Guo Jia and Chen Yang to his room.

"Xianbei people came to us to cooperate, do you think it is credible?"

Cao Ang said: "If we cooperate, we will attack the Xiongnu together, and it will save a lot of trouble."

What he said, it was a bit heart-wrenching.

Guo Jia denied: "I think we have to be careful. I have never heard of any conflict between Xianbei and the Xiongnu. Xianbei suddenly wanted to attack the Xiongnu, which shows that they have ambitions and want to expand their territory. They even want to go south to the Central Plains like the Southern Huns. "

What he said hit the Xianbei people's plan.

Chen Yang had the same idea, and said: "We can't just agree to cooperation, Xiaocao, you have to think about it, if the Xianbei help us defeat the Xiongnu, will they, like the Xiongnu, continue to make plans against the big man? "

"Should we refuse?" Cao Ang asked.

"It's not enough to completely reject it. If it is used well, it will be reasonable for us. If it is not used well, it will become another Hun."

Chen Yang thought for a moment, and said: "To deal with Xianbei is just to use, not cooperate, but we must also be careful. During this time, let's ignore He Laiba and kill his patience."

Guo Jia said in agreement: "Zi'an's words are reasonable, and we must be cautious about this matter. He Laiba will not leave Jiuquan in the near future. He must try his best to persuade us. The eldest son must not agree."

Cao Ang nodded solemnly, and said again: "Zian, you said you can use Xianbei, how can you use it like this?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I haven't thought of a specific method yet. I can try to contact He Laiba. By the way, did he come alone?"

"no!"

Cao Ang said: "They came with more than 200 people, both men and women, and they brought a lot of Xianbei things."

Chen Yang laughed: "He Laiba is not stupid. He should investigate clearly before he comes. We must like what he brings. For example, Feng Xiao likes to drink, and he will definitely bring you good wine after a while. Convince us with gifts, and then let us convince Xiao Cao."

Guo Jia thought about it seriously, and thought it made sense, and said, "What good things can there be in a mere barbarian place? Besides their wine, can your wine taste good with Zi'an?"

Chen Yang said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Fengxiao, you still have to stick to your heart. Don't talk nonsense and agree to everything after drinking too much."

Guo Jia patted his heart and assured him: "You can rest assured about Zi'an, my drinking capacity is not even comparable to that of Lao Dian, and I won't get drunk."

"Zian, why do you like it? I'm curious, what will He Laiba give you to convince you?" Cao Ang suddenly set his sights on Chen Yang.

"Don't think about it, it must be a beauty."

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, and said, "Zian likes beautiful women, it's well known."

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Yang waved his hand in denial.

No matter how he denies it, this fact cannot be changed. There are too many wives around him, all of them are beautiful women, and there are even various rumors in the past.

There was still a bit of a serious atmosphere just now, but it was interrupted by a few joking words like this, and they also became joyful.

Several days passed by, the weather got faster and faster, and the snow fell harder.

One day, Guo Jia hurried into Chen Yang's residence and said, "Zian, you are really right, He Laiba brought me some wine."

He also ordered someone to bring in a large jar of wine and put it in front of Chen Yang.

"Could it be that Feng Xiao was drunk, and then he really agreed to everything?" Chen Yang said jokingly.

"Of course not, I haven't had the wine yet."

Guo Jia said: "I just received it, so I sent He Laiba away. After thinking about it, I think I should bring the wine over to show you."

Chen Yang opened the wine jar, and a special smell of wine came out. There was also a faint milky smell and an obvious sour smell in it. The wine liquid was also milky white.

"What kind of wine is this?" Guo Jia asked curiously.

As for the wine on the prairie, he has never drank or seen it.

"It should be kumiss, do you want to try it? This kind of wine is very special." Chen Yang asked.

Guo Jia is not used to the taste, just find it very novel, and he is also a person who likes to drink, nodded and said: "Then give it a try."

The wine has just entered the mouth, and it is very spicy. When I drink it in my stomach, it feels like a fire, and my whole body is warm, as if the cold of winter is dispelled at this moment.

"Zian, this wine is miraculous. Although it is not as mellow and delicious as your wines, it has a special feeling. It warms the stomach, but it is stronger." Guo Jia said in surprise.

"It is indeed stronger."

Chen Yang nodded and said: "You can't drink too much, it's okay to have a drink or two once in a while, and don't compete with He Laiba in the future, they must often drink strong alcohol, we can't compete."

Then they had another drink, and the chill was dispelled.

People on the grassland brewed this kind of kumiss for no reason.

Because it will be colder in the northerly places, drinking this kind of wine is very suitable for keeping out the cold.

"General, the Xianbei General He Laiba is asking to see you." At this time, a soldier came in and said.

"He came to me so soon?"

Chen Yang said again: "Feng Xiao, you hide in my room and hide the wine, I want to see what he wants to do."

After Guo Jia and the others moved the wine in and put it away, Chen Yang went out to meet He Laiba in person.

"General He Lai, it's cold outside, please come inside."

With a polite and enthusiastic face, Chen Yang invited He Laiba to come in.

However, when he entered the hall, He Laiba's nose twitched.

He smelled a faint smell of kumiss, and seemed to understand something at this moment.

However, he didn't ask his own question, and he started to make various guesses in his heart when he was polite with Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn't know that those smells had exposed Guo Jia, because he was not familiar with kumiss, and he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly come to him at this time.
