Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"As long as you have a thick skin, nothing is a problem." Chen Yang didn't take those things seriously.

It was windy and snowy outside, so he led everyone into the house, and asked someone to bring out the kumiss brought by Guo Jia that day, and continued: "These are the wine they gave Feng Xiao, I keep some of it, it's very warm The stomach can keep out the cold."

After filling the wine for them, Chen Yang said again: "Try it!"

They drank a glass, and they felt warm and indescribably comfortable. This kind of wine is very comfortable to drink in winter.

"Although it doesn't have the aroma of your wine, General, but in this cold weather, if you can have a drink, you can go back to summer." Xia Houheng laughed.

"That's right!"

It was also the first time Cao Ang drank these wines, and said, "Xianbei people's wines are really special."

"Now you don't feel embarrassed to drink Xianbei people's wine, do you? You have benefited, and you are still coy."

Chen Yang smiled, and continued: "They keep giving gifts to suit their preferences, just to be able to cooperate with us. Since they have something to ask for from us, why are they embarrassed to accept gifts? He insisted on giving them, and they belonged to him. Whether we cooperate or not is our business, we didn't force him, so why would he dare to make trouble in Jiuquan? Anyway, they came to Jiuquan with bad intentions."

Cao Fu smiled and said, "I understand why the general said he has a thick skin. The general is really thick-skinned now."

Hearing this, Cao Ang and the others also laughed.

"Of course, it's not like we don't accept gifts and stop working. The time is almost up, and I'll give him an answer. You can accept them boldly."

Chen Yang added another sentence, saying, "Don't do it for nothing."

This answer, of course, is utilization, utilization packaged with cooperation.

It's just ambition for the Xianbei people to do this, there is no need to talk about etiquette with them.

They wanted to invade the Huns, and Chen Yang wanted to drive the Huns out of the Han Dynasty, but the Xiongnu's land in the Han Dynasty would never let the Xianbei get their hands on it.

Cao Ang said, "What shall we do?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then said: "You will know when the time comes, don't worry about this matter, everything is up to me."

Hearing Chen Yang's confident words, Cao Ang felt relieved, drank kumiss for a while to warm up, and they left separately.

A few more days passed, and it was already the middle of winter, which is the coldest period in winter.

Chen Yang went outside to see that there was wind, snow and ice everywhere.

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow, is really like this.

Here, it can be regarded as the Northland.

Chen Yang didn't have cotton clothes to keep out the cold, so he gave them to ordinary soldiers.

With his physical fitness, he almost couldn't bear it. Fortunately, as long as he wears more clothes in winter in the north, he won't feel too cold.

In the past few days, Chen Yang often accompanied Cao Ang to inspect the barracks to ensure that the original soldiers had enough preparations to keep out the cold.

After finally surviving the severe winter, when the weather warmed up a little, He Laiba couldn't sit still, so he went directly to Chen Yang's house and said, "General, I plan to hold a banquet at my residence today, can you invite the general to attend? The sacrificial wine is also there."

After what happened to Guo Huan, Chen Yang was wary of any banquet.

However, he hesitated for a moment when he heard that Guo Jia and Cao Ang would be there, but he did not refuse.

The banquet of the Xianbei people is a bit different. In addition to the barbecue and kumiss, He Laiba also called a few Xianbei women to perform singing and dancing.

Chen Yang was also kept drinking. He was worried that something would happen to him during the drinking conference, so he asked Wang Yue to stay by his side to protect him, so that He Laiba would not have any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Before he knew it, Chen Yang drank a piece of wine, not knowing what happened.

When he woke up again, it was already the next morning, but he saw Wang Yue sitting beside him.

Chen Yang also saw two other Xianbei beauties standing aside in fear, not daring to move.

Maybe it was because of standing for a long time, the legs of the two beauties were trembling, but they didn't dare to sit down, their faces were haggard.

"Wang Yue, what happened last night?" Chen Yang asked with a headache.

"Master, you are drunk again. General He Lai arranged for two Xianbei women to serve you, but I refused." Wang Yue explained briefly.

Wang Yue worried that what happened to Guo Huan and Xia Houlian before would reappear. Although he accepted the two women, he didn't let them move around, and stayed by Chen Yang's side again.

When Chen Yang heard the ins and outs, he couldn't help laughing, and waved: "You guys go down first!"

They couldn't understand Chinese, but they could understand hand gestures, and left in a hurry as if they were pardoned.

Chen Yang saw that it was dawn, Wang Yue wouldn't have sat here all night, and then let those two women stand there all night, right?

No wonder the way they walked just now was so strange and emaciated.

It was really hard for the two women to stand all night.

"Master, there was also a situation last night." Wang Yue continued.

"What happened last night?" Chen Yang asked cautiously.

"Last night, some people spied outside several times, but they didn't dare to do anything, so I didn't take any action." Wang Yue said.

Chen Yang thought for a moment, and said: "It should be that He Laiba couldn't help but want to come and take a look, forget it! Leave here first."

They just walked outside the door and saw He Laiba coming towards him, as if they were waiting here on purpose.

"General He Lai, I drank too much last night, please forgive me." Chen Yang smiled.

"No trouble at all."

He Laiba smiled slightly, he didn't intend to hide anything, and said helplessly: "General, what do you actually have to do to be willing to help us? I don't want any presents from you, and the beauty doesn't want to take them away either."

Chen Yang asked curiously: "General He Lai, what do you mean?"

He Laiba said directly: "I want to cooperate with Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao has never agreed to us, and the same is true for Guo Jijiu. I heard that Mr. Cao will not listen to General Chen's words, can you tell me something for me?" sentence?"

His face was full of sincerity.

Chen Yang thought for a while, and said, "Honestly speaking, why do you Xianbei people deal with the Xiongnu? Or, do you have ambitions?"

He Laiba hesitated for a moment, first he invited Chen Yang to sit down, and then said slowly: "What kind of ambition can we have? We just want to take revenge!"

"Revenge?" Chen Yang asked.

"When the Huns were strong, they kept suppressing our Xianbei people. We had three Shanyus who died at the hands of the Huns."

He Laiba said angrily: "Just five years ago, the Huns saw our expansion and growth, and came to suppress us again, massacring tens of thousands of our ethnic groups, and finally waited for this opportunity. We had to join forces with the big man. "

Chen Yang was not very clear about the enmity between Xianbei and the Xiongnu. In his knowledge, there were no such things.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Does General He Lai know why we haven't agreed to cooperate with you?"

"Why?" He Laiba asked puzzled, thinking that he could finally get the answer today.

"What we need is sincerity, not all kinds of calculations."

Chen Yang said solemnly: "I don't seem to see the sincerity in you, General, so I keep declining."

Sincerity?

He Laiba has given various gifts recently, and he thinks his sincerity is enough.

What kind of sincerity do Chen Yang and the others need?

"Does the general not understand?" Chen Yang asked.

"I don't understand, please tell me, General Chen." He Laiba nodded.

"In addition to coming to us for cooperation, have you ever sought out the second son of the Cao family?" Chen Yang asked.

The second son is Cao Pi.

Of course, someone from Xianbei also went to look for it. He Laiba just wanted to deny it, but after thinking for a while, he finally decided to admit it, and said: "Yes, but now in winter, the news is blocked, and I don't know what the result of the second son is."
