Wei and Jin cooks

Wei Hong said: "You are a good general, and you should know better that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people."

He said: "The city of Qingzhou is not too high, the pond is not not deep, the army is strong, and there is no shortage of rice and millet. Why are they retreating? It's because the geographical conditions are not as good as the people. General Gou Chun has lost the support of the people in Qingzhou. If he attacks again, he will get twice the result with twice the result." , General, why don’t you take a step back."

Gou Xi had a tough character and was stubborn, so he refused outright, but the staff around him were thoughtful and thoughtful. After Gou Xi refused, he still asked: "What did General Wei mean by taking a step back?"

Wei Hong said: "Cut Qingzhou into two parts, but we can merge Le'an County into Yanzhou."

The staff's eyes flashed, thinking that this move was okay, but they asked for more than just Le'an County. He said: "In addition to Le'an County, there is also Jinan County, and the remaining Qi State, Beihai County, Chengyang County and Donglai County , long and wide, and then divided into two.”

Wei Hong looked at Gou Xi.

The staff persuaded Gou Xi in a low voice: "My lord, the situation in Qingzhou is like this. If we continue to fight, it will do more harm than good to us. It is better for everyone to take a step back. Spring plowing is more important."

Wei Hong on the side reminded: "General, Governor Zhao may not have the intention to take advantage of others' danger, but Liu Yuan and Shi Le may not be gentlemen."

Gou Xi's face turned ugly, and after some persuasion from his staff, he agreed to take a step back.

He agreed here, but Wang Jun and Wang Dun did not agree. If Jinan County was also merged into Yanzhou, Wang Jun and Wang Dun would both retreat.

They had conquered the territory based on their ability. Why would they retreat at Gou Xi's words?

However, at least the three parties relented, and everyone temporarily stopped fighting and negotiated.

In the end, Zhao Hanzhang and the emperor played a trick and worked for the three of them, splitting Jinan County into two, giving half to Gou Xi and half to Wang Jun. As for Wang Dun, the imperial court gave him the governor of Guangzhou in exchange for Jinan County, which he occupied. of two counties.

The war subsided and the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. He issued three decrees in succession. First, he divided Qingzhou into Qingzhou and Guangzhou, and divided their respective jurisdictions. Second, he appointed Wang Jun as the governor of Qingzhou and Wang Dun as the governor of Guangzhou. Third, Put individual counties in Jinan County and Le'an County together under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou...

When Zhao Hanzhang saw that the war had subsided, he wrote a letter to impeach Gou Chun, asking the emperor and Gou Xi to severely punish Gou Chun. He believed that he was harsh and cruel and had lost the people's support, which caused this disaster. He also asked them to replace the officials in charge of Le'an County.

The emperor thought that Zhao Hanzhang was right, and summoned Gou Xi in particular, hoping that he could control Gou Chun, and pointed out a new county governor for Le'an County.

Because of the Qingzhou incident, Gou Xi's brothers lost their support and Gou Xi's prestige was greatly reduced. He could already feel the opinions of his subordinates on him.

This feeling was only felt once after killing Yan Heng. This time, it was even more obvious.

So Gou Xi did not agree to the emperor's order. He did not trust the county governor chosen by the emperor. He picked one himself, but recalled Gou Chun back to Yuncheng.

Gou Xi, who had been indulging in sensuality for a year and almost destroyed his will and body, finally felt a sense of crisis. He walked out of his general's mansion and began to see his army.

However, he was used to getting up at three o'clock in the morning, so how could he get out of bed in the freezing cold before dawn to train in a simple and cold military camp like in the past?

He was used to high beds and soft pillows, so how could he sleep on a wooden board in the military camp like before, with only a thin quilt covering him?

He was used to eating delicacies, and his stomach was soaked with oil and water, so how could he still be able to chew steamed buns made with whole grains?

So he only persisted for less than ten days. When his heart and stomach were clamoring for delicious food, he couldn't hold it back. He ordered someone to serve fish, meat and wine. After drinking freely, he couldn't help but fall asleep as he pleased. When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon...

Concubine Ji, who had not long been acquainted with Gou Xi, came to see him with chicken soup. She and a group of maids served him as he stood up, and said softly: "General, I got up early in the morning and cooked this myself. I kept simmering it on a low fire until it was full." It's been three hours, please try and see if the soup tastes good?"

The chicken soup has been skimmed off the oil. It is not greasy, but clear, but has a refreshing fragrance. Taking another mouthful, the urge to eat meat due to frugality in the past few days has been greatly relieved. It is better than the big fish and meat eaten last night.

Gou Xi leaned comfortably on the upright pillow, let out a big breath, and asked, "Where is Erlang?"

Concubine Ji replied: "The young general went out early in the morning. He heard that the county government caught a few thieves yesterday, and he went to deal with them."

Gou Xi frowned slightly, stood up and dressed, "He is the prefect, and it is the county magistrate's business to judge thieves. Why does he care about this?"

Concubine Ji smiled and said: "Take it out, the young general has a very bad temper these days. He has punished several people in the house. Whenever he meets someone who commits an offense outside, he will often whip and torture him with a stick..."

Before she finished speaking, the expressions of the maids serving in the room changed greatly, and they all fell to their knees, trembling.

Ji Concubine looked confused and didn't understand what happened to them.

Gou Xi gave her a cold look and said outside: "Come here, pull her down and teach her some rules."

Before Concubine Ji could say anything, two guards came in from outside. They lowered their heads and did not look at Gou Xi. They covered Concubine Ji's mouth and dragged her down.

Gou Xi put on her clothes with a gloomy face, then looked at the maids who were still kneeling on the ground, frowning slightly, "Go and receive your punishment. From now on, if the ladies are not good, it will be because you have not taught them well."

The maids responded tremblingly, and then they dared to stand up and serve Gou Xi. When he left, the maids in the house went to the execution room to receive their punishment honestly, and no one dared to fool them.

Meals have been prepared in the dining room. Gou Xi didn't get up at nine o'clock this morning. The housekeeper knew something was wrong, so he immediately sent people out to buy a large amount of ingredients. He started preparing it in the morning, and now he has finally prepared a table of food that is barely edible. .

There are twenty-eight dishes in total, including hot and cold dishes, soup and meat, and the rarest tender sprouts in this season.

Gou Xi sat down at the table without changing his expression. The butler knew that he had guessed correctly. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward to serve him.

Seeing the old face of the housekeeper, Gou Xi frowned.

The butler understood instantly and bowed down immediately. With a wave of his hand, the beautiful maids waiting outside immediately came in, one on the left, one on the right, and two on each side. They took chopsticks to add food to him. Their movements were graceful and the chopsticks were flying. Basically, he When my eyes fell on a dish, someone immediately picked it up and brought it over...

Gou Xi felt very comfortable after eating this meal and felt that this was the way to live.

By the time the meal was finished, it was already late, and the sun was shining brighter outside. But he had just eaten, and he couldn't help but feel sleepy. He also felt that his shoulders were a little sore from practicing horse riding and archery in the past few days.

So he sat outside and let the maids massage him while basking in the sun.

Since we are all basking in the sun, how can we not have singing and dancing when we are bored?

Gou Xi's mansion now has more than two hundred maids, and there are countless talented maids among them. So they sang, danced, and played the harp, and the general's mansion returned to the bustle of the past.

An official passed under the wall of the General's Mansion and stopped the ox cart to listen to the singing and piano playing inside. After a moment, he shook his head in disappointment, with an indelible sadness in his eyes, "The General is ruined."

Ahhhh, Gu Wanyin has eight chapters saved, but I still don’t have any. I’m not convinced~~~~

I want to work hard!
