Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 32 Farewell Banquet
Within two days after the meeting, Liu Biao appointed Huo Jun to join the military and serve as a captain, supervising thousands of troops and replenishing Jiangxia's troops.

What department do you supervise?
Huo Du, the Sima of Dunan County, and Gaoxiang, the Sima of the same county, each had [-] soldiers, totaling [-] people.

Huo Jun also sighed after receiving the letter of appointment. Generally speaking, he could guess that it was written by Cai Mao.

The Sima of the other divisions in Jingzhou were basically a miscellaneous army, all composed of local armed forces, so his brother Huo Du was represented as the Sima of the other divisions.

It is not difficult to understand that allowing yourself to supervise the Huo family's tribes allows you to better command the soldiers.However, the governor Gao Xiang just wanted to disgust himself. Gao's tribe was in Gao Xiang's hands. Unless Gao Xiang was willing to listen to him, he would be an outsider.

Of course, there are advantages as well as disadvantages. As a clan tribe, Gao Xiang's tribe has high cohesion and its combat effectiveness is generally not bad.And if my memory is correct, there was also a general named Gao Xiang in the later Shu Han Dynasty, but I don't know if he is the same person.

Overall, it is not easy for me to completely control the military, and I still need to work hard.

"Master, the king has come to pay a visit!"

"Please!"

Before Huo Jun finished speaking, Wang Can laughed and entered the room, saying, "No need to invite him, Can is already in."

With that said, Wang Can took off his shoes and entered, unceremoniously sitting opposite Huo Jun.

Huo Jun smiled and shook his head, poured a cup of tea for Wang Can and said, "Why is Zhongxuan here?"

Wang Can snorted softly, took out a letter from his arms and threw it in front of Huo Jun's eyes.

"This..." Huo Jun asked curiously.

Wang Can raised his head slightly and said proudly: "Can has taken care of Zhongmiao. When you arrive in Jiangxia, Huang Zhangling and Pan Duyou (Pan Jun) will help you more."

The Huang Zhangling mentioned by Wang Can is Huang Zu's eldest son Huang She.Huang Zu actually led the governor of Jiangxia, and Huang Sheyao led the governor of Zhangling. They were actually the generals under Huang Zu and the second most powerful person in Jiangxia.

Different from what everyone remembers in the novel, Huang Zu was not a simple military general. He was born in the Anlu Huang family in Jiangxia, not the Huang family in Xiangyang.

The Huang family of Anlu was descended from Huang Xiang, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his son Huang Qiong and great-grandson Huang Wan also served as officers to the rank of Taiwei.When Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou, he worshiped Huang Zu as a general because he knew the military affairs.

When Sun Jian invaded Jingzhou, Huang Zu was defeated by Sun Jian in the battles at Fancheng and Deng County, so he withdrew into Xiangyang City, and then fought out of the city, planning to shoot Sun Jian in Xian Mountain.

However, his son Huang She was proficient in martial arts and liked scriptures very much. Mi Heng was sent to Huang Zu by Liu Biao.Huang She treated him as a distinguished guest and often read Cai Yong's inscriptions with him.At that time, Huang She held a banquet, and someone presented a parrot. Although Huang She liked writing poems and poems, he was not good at it, but Mi Heng took over the pen and wrote "Parrot Fu" in one go.

Mi Heng angered Huang Zu and was ordered to be executed. Huang She regretted that he was a step too late and failed to save Mi Heng.

Huo Jun looked at the letter and asked in surprise: "How could Zhongxuan know Huang Zhangling?"

"hey-hey!"

Wang Can drank tea, spread his legs, and said with a smile: "Can and Huang Zhangling became acquainted because of Bo Zhe's collection of essays. Although he later lived in Jiangxia, he was fond of writing poems and poems, but he was not good at writing, so he often wrote to Can to ask for advice on poems and poems. , or ask how to modify Ci Fu."

"Jin Can wrote a letter saying that Zhongmiao was taught by Ji Chang and was proficient in "Mao Shi", "Guan Zi" and other books. He is indeed a talented person. It is not difficult to let him take care of him!"

Huo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "I have to thank Zhongxuan again this time!"

"Why do you need to say thank you."

Wang Can put down the tea cup and sighed: "Although Zhong Miao is extremely intelligent, in war, the sword has no eyes, so you should be careful in this business."

Huo Jun patted the wooden box on the side of the couch and said with a smile: "Jun has a pair of iron armor on his body, which is enough to protect him from swords and guns. Since he is a school captain, fighting on the battlefield has its own rules."

"That's fine too!"

As he said this, Wang Can smiled and said: "Zhong Miao will travel to Xiangyang. Tonight Can Can will pay a farewell party to Zhong Miao at the Zhenren Wine House. By then, all friends including Fu Jun, Sima Jun, Yi Jun, etc. will be here. I hope Zhong Miao will attend the banquet on time." .”

"it is good!"

Huo Jun hesitated for a while and then agreed.

During his stay in Xiangyang, he received a lot of help from these friends.Today, I am traveling far away from Jiangxia. I don’t know when I will return to Xiangyang. It is human nature to meet before leaving.

After all, he would take a boat to Nanjun tomorrow, join the two groups at Jingling, then go down the Han River, pass through Yunmengze, and arrive at Xiakou.In the evening, Huo Jun rode an ox cart to the wine house. After half a year, the woman had not changed, the furnishings of the wine house had not changed, and even the people who had participated in the reception banquet had not changed.

Only I have changed!
When Huo Jun came to the private room, everyone was already seated.When they saw Huo Jun entering, they couldn't help but stand up to greet him. Their behavior was completely different from last time.

After Huo Jun took his seat, Yi Ji said with emotion: "In the past when Zhongmiao came to Xiangyang, Zhongxuan praised Zhongmiao for possessing Wu Qi's talents, but Ji didn't take it seriously and felt that he was exaggerating. From today's perspective, Zhongmiao is worthy of his words. He has the talent of Wu Zi and the ability to build a world in civil and military affairs."

Huo Jun was still modest and said with a smile: "I have achieved something in literature, but I have not made any achievements in military affairs. If Jun can make achievements in Jiangxia, it will not be too late for all the kings to praise him!"

"Ha ha!"

When everyone saw that Huo Jun was not arrogant at all, they immediately let go and started drinking and chatting.

While slightly drunk, Fu Xun blushed and asked: "Zhongmiao has great talent and is well aware of the general trend of the world, so why is he doing nothing now? At that time, Yuan Benchu ​​died of illness, and the two Yuan were in conflict. Cao Gong sent troops to Hebei to control the Central Plains. Later, he commanded the Central Plains division. , heading south to Jianghan, how can Jingzhou stop it?"

Huo Jun's face was rosy, and he drunkenly smiled and said: "Who can be sure about the military affairs? At Guandu, everyone thought that Yuan Shao could defeat Cao Cao, but unexpectedly Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao. In the future, Cao Cao led his troops south, and he was not defeated by me. You know!"

"Ha ha!"

Fu Xun laughed a few times and said: "Zhong Miao is joking again. With Cao Gong's ability, he can lift up the world's scholars. Who dares to stop me from going south to Jianghan!"

As he spoke, Fu Xun showed a look of imagination and said: "The Jiang and Han Dynasties will be united, Jiangzuo will be attached to the land, and Bashu will accept the surrender, then the world will be settled. At that time, Xun can also return to Guanzhong from the north and restore the lintel of my Fu family."

After becoming the Fu clan in the North, Fu Xun was looking forward to returning to the north, reviving the family, and reviving the lintel.

Seeing that Fu Xun didn't believe it, Huo Jun couldn't help laughing. He put his arm around Wang Can's shoulders and said, "Does Zhongxuan believe Jun?"

Wang Can thought Huo Jun was really drunk, so he humbly said, "Can can believe what Zhong Miao said!"

Everyone didn't care when they saw Huo Jun talking big words, but laughed happily. After all, no one said anything bragging when he was drunk.

As everyone got drunk, the banquet gradually came to an end.

Huo Jun boarded the bullock cart and sat alone in the cart, rubbing his head.

In the past few months, Huo Jun had been thinking hard day and night about planning to go to Jiangdong, and his spirit was tense. Today's banquet with them could be regarded as relaxing his spirit.

As for the banquet, Huo Jun boasted about Haikou and said that Cao Cao would be defeated by his men in the future. He was also excited and used drunkenness as a guise to express his expectations and make his heart happy.

The car drove slowly to the house, and Huo Jun slowly stepped out of the bullock cart.

When he first entered the hall, he saw Chef Deng heating sobering soup on the stove. Huo Jun was sitting on the couch and asked, "Why don't you fall asleep?"

Chef Deng took a bowl, poured the hangover soup, placed it in front of Huo Jun's case, and said, "This is the hangover soup, please drink it, master."

Since Chef Deng entered the house, she has not only done the cook's work, but she has also taken care of most of the courtyard.Since Huo Jun left Zhijiang, he rarely had a life of being cared for by others.Huo Xiong and Huo Hu's hands and feet are so rough that they can't even cook rice.

Huo Jun held the bowl, sipped the hangover soup, and said: "A certain person has been ordered to lead the army and will advance troops to Jiangxia. You and Fan'er can stay in Xiangyang. If someone claiming to be General Zuo's subordinates comes to visit, just let them go." "

"promise!"

Chef Deng pursed her lips and responded softly.

After Huo Jun drank the sobering soup, he felt a little more energetic and returned to the house to prepare for sleep.

"Crench!"

Suddenly, Chef Deng entered the room with a wooden basin. Under Huo Jun's surprised gaze, she lowered her head and said, "I'll wash up for the master of the house!"

……

ps: The cook is still the cook, nothing has changed.I don’t know what exactly happened next.
