The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 51 Meet He Jin
On the second day after the banquet, the imperial court's appointment edict was officially delivered.The moment he received the edict, Huo Yu knew that the days to leave Luoyang were numbered, and before leaving Luoyang, there were still two things that had to be done.

The first thing to do was to visit the great general He Jin. He Jin was in the court that day, but He Jin couldn't help him. He had to hold on to this big tree, otherwise, where would his source of troops come from?The second thing, of course, is to invite Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to drink.Although they will definitely become rivals in the future, it is still necessary to maintain this relationship at present.

The adoptive father must return to the country of Chen, but in the capital there is only his father-in-law Cai Yong's family. Cai Yong's character determines that he will offend Zhang Rang and others again sooner or later. As the saying goes, many friends have many ways out.

Cai Yan seemed unhappy these two days, and she also knew that Huo Yu was about to leave Beijing to take office in Liaodong. Although she wanted to follow her, she hadn't officially married yet, and her father was a great Confucianist in the world, so she had to pay attention to the issue of face.No, Huo Yu knew what was on Cai Yan's mind, so he took her to the legendary Luoyang West Market.It is said that there are a large number of Hu merchants haunting this West Market, so you might be able to find something good!

There is still a long distance from Cai's mansion to the West Market, so Huo Yu personally drove Cai Yan and his maid Xiaohuan to the West Market in a carriage.Zhang Fei and Liao Hua followed at a distance to prevent accidents.

Since Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty and Ban Chao in the Eastern Han Dynasty opened up the Silk Road starting from Chang'an and Luoyang in the Western Regions, the silk of the Han Dynasty was continuously exported to countries in the Western Regions.At that time, the Han Dynasty was the most prosperous and powerful country in the world. Western merchants were proud of being able to do business with the Han Dynasty. Gradually, the people of the Han Dynasty developed a sense of pride, because Western merchants were no different from barbarians, so those who came from the West Merchants are called Hu merchants.With the arrival of Hu merchants, commodities such as grapes, walnuts, carrots, courgettes (cucumbers) and even wine were introduced into the Han Dynasty.

After Huo Yu and his party arrived in West Market, they first found an inn to store the carriage, and then the three of them strolled on the streets of West Market.At this time, the West Market had long lost its former splendor, and Cai Yan and Xiaohuan were still amazed. There were all kinds of goods, and all kinds of accessories attracted their attention.Huo Yu secretly regretted the inherent shopping talent of women. He thought that women in ancient times would not have the desire to shop at all. Who would have thought that these two people would start a crazy shopping mode when they arrived in West Market. Everything was purchased, and of course the money was paid by Huo Yu, a follower.

After an hour, he also bought a lot of things. Huo Yu signaled Zhang Fei and Liao Hua several times to come forward to help, but Zhang Fei stopped Liao Hua and said, "Yuan Jian, my lord is dating, we can't be light bulbs!"

Liao Hua asked suspiciously: "Brother Yide, what is a date? What is a light bulb?"

"Hey, Yuan Jian, you don't understand. Just remember, when the lord looks at us, we look elsewhere, pretending that we didn't see anything." Zhang Fei said eloquently.

Huo Yu originally thought that the distance was a little far away, but he signaled to the two of them a few times before that they didn't see it. No, while Cai Yan and Xiaohuan were shopping, Huo Yu was winking at the two of them again, but the two were still indifferent move.How angry is Huo Yu!If he knew what Zhang Fei said to Liao Hua, he would probably vomit blood in anger.

In desperation, Huo Yu could only interrupt the shopping mode of the two with the excuse that he was too hungry.Back at the inn, the three ordered Hu people's pasta and meat, which they had never eaten before, and ate them with relish.Suddenly, Huo Yu saw the man with two little bald eagles being thrown out by the shopkeeper, and said unceremoniously: "I can't even pay the hotel bill, and I still refuse to leave. Believe it or not, I will report to the official." ?”

The barbarian didn't refute, instead he took out a piece of jerky from his body, took a small bite and fed the rest to the two little eagles.Seeing the two little vultures devouring the food, a smile appeared on the barbarian's face.

Huo Yu thought to himself immediately: "Interesting, isn't it the legendary art of controlling eagles? Zhengchou doesn't have a way to quickly transmit information, so let's just ask!"

So under Cai Yan's surprised gaze, Huo Yu picked up two pieces of meat and threw them at the two little eagles.Perhaps because he was too hungry, Xiao Diao subconsciously grabbed the meat and ate it. Only then did Huo Yu take the opportunity to ask for details.

It turned out that this man was from the Dayue clan. He was adopted by a merchant of the Han Dynasty since he was a child, and named Li Ji. Because of his natural ability to control beasts, he was very popular with his adoptive father.Not long ago, his adoptive father died of illness, and he was kicked out of the house. These two eagles were bought by his adoptive father in West Market with a lot of money before his death, so he cherishes them very much.

Later, Huo Yu invited him to a big meal, and when he revealed his identity to recruit him, Li Ji agreed without hesitation. Li Ji's adoptive father once told him: "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring."Li Ji and Huo Yu are satisfied, and the communication in the future will be settled, and the initiative can be seized with a way to quickly transmit information.After returning to the Cai Mansion, Huo Yu asked Liao Hua to take Li Ji to the barracks directly, and told Xu Rong that Li Ji was only responsible for raising the sculptures and had to arrange for their protection.

That night, Huo Yu took a carload of newly delivered daughter Hong to the General's Mansion.He Jin was born in a butcher, and because of his sister Empress He's relationship with him, he was in a high position, and he often had discord with the ten permanent attendants, so he went around to win over people from the aristocratic family, especially the current great Confucianism like Cai Yong, and he was his distinguished guest. list.

After arriving at the general's mansion, he handed over the name card, and soon the housekeeper personally came to lead Huo Yu into the mansion.This He Jin is now the most important minister in the court, his mansion is very luxurious and luxurious, this is the first time for Huo Yu to enter the Grand General's mansion, and he was stunned by the luxurious decoration in the mansion.

Passed through several corridors, came to a hall, but saw a person coming out, the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Second Master, this is Liaodong Governor, Pingbei General Huo Yu."

Hearing this, Huo Yu knew that this person was He Jin's younger brother, He Miao, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I've met Mr. He."

"Well, you're very good!" He Miao left after saying such a thoughtless remark.

Seeing He Miao leave, the housekeeper brought Huo Yu into the study.After entering the room, seeing a person sitting upright in front of him, Huo Yu didn't dare to neglect, and immediately bowed his head, clasped his fists and said, "The general has seen the general!"

When I was young, a hearty voice shouted: "Now you are not in the court, so there is no need to be polite, just sit down!"

"Thank you, General!" Huo Yu replied loudly before taking his seat.

"Hahahaha!" He Jin immediately looked up to the sky with a smile, and said, "Master Cai invited me to the banquet, but I couldn't go because I was busy with business."

At the beginning of this sentence, Huo Yu and He Jin chatted about trivial matters one by one, and they talked about Chen Guo breaking the Yellow Turban Army, Changshe Zhan Bocai, Jizhou breaking Guangzong, and so on.About half an hour later, He Jin took a sip of tea and said, "It's really extraordinary that Master Lu, General Huangfu and General Zhu Jun appreciate the ability to lead troops in battle. Do your best and don't let me down!"

"Here! I will live up to the general's expectations!" Huo Yu replied with a full face, and then added: "The last general is here, bringing a carload of daughter red, I hope the general will accept it."

"Hahaha, Polu, stop playing tricks in front of me, don't you want someone? I'll give it to you." He Jin took out the transfer order that had been prepared, and Huo Yu took a look It was empty, so he understood He Jin's intentions.

So he bowed again: "General Xie, I will obey my orders in the future!"

"It's enough to have your words," Huo Yu said at this point, knowing that it was time to resign, so he got up and said goodbye.
