Zhou Yu, who was left in Nanzheng Inn, felt that he was looking forward to something like a god at first:

Liu Bei did not see him first, nor did he even send someone to talk to him at the first time. It must be because Liu Bei's injury was serious, so he arrived at the same time, and it was important to summon Hua Tuo to treat him first.

However, after just having dinner in the inn, Zhou Yu began to doubt whether he was arbitrary.

The King of Hanzhong treated him so politely? Could it be that he thought it was important, so he had to treat him well, take a bath and fast before talking about it? Otherwise, how could he bring such delicious dishes to serve? It is impossible that the treatment of the inn here is so good in normal times, right?

In fact, Zhou Yu had nothing to eat, it was nothing but hot pot, barbecue, and some fried dishes, such as pepper and pepper, which were heavily spiced, completely covering up the fishy smell of meat that was inevitable in this era. In the future, it was considered junk food.

What is the one that eats rabbits with cold peppers? The lion heads that are fried first and thickened are first marinated with peppers and then roasted beef, and the lamb chops are first marinated with cumin and then roasted.

As for hot pot, because it is not convenient to marinate beef and mutton to taste and remove fishy fishy food, the hot pot Zhou Yu ate is not a livestock meat, but all of them are shabu-shabu-filled fish fillets, which looks very refreshing. However, the soup base was made of chicken steamed from the steam pot chicken, and the fish was also black fish that had just been introduced to the Yangtze River Basin in the southwest during the Han Dynasty. In order to prevent Zhou Yu from being accustomed to eating, more common grass carp were also reserved.

The black fish is also native to India, but it was introduced to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Basin during the Han Dynasty. I don’t know how it was introduced in the first place. It was probably moved from one river to another by the early good-looking ancestors of the southwest Yi. (The black fish can survive for a few days after leaving the water. Scientists believe that this is an important reason why the ancients migrated unintentionally between different rivers)

"This fish is the legendary black bird in "Shennong Bencao Jing". The fish skin is so black, and the lives of the nobles around Liu Bei are really luxurious. Why is the chicken soup of this fish so delicious and clear? There is no impurity, and it is not a spice to cover up the odor. It is simply unimaginable. I have lived in Jianghuai for more than ten years, but I am not as good as the place in Xichuan when I eat fish."

After eating a set of black fish fillets made of chicken soup in steamed pot, Zhou Yu felt so moved that he doubted his life. He didn't know at all that this steamed chicken soup was actually Li Su invented just this month.

Historically, the dish of steam pot chicken and tableware such as steam pots gradually developed in Yunnan during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Although it is a casserole, the distillation effect is quite good.

The shape is similar to the traditional chimney hot pot, except that the chimney is a little shorter, add a lid with a slightly better sealing capacity, and change the bottom of the pot from charcoal to boiling soup, and you can steam the soup continuously to the inner pot to form chicken soup. Compared with the cooking method of directly soaking the meat in the soup, this broth is clearer and has no foam.

Li Su's original intention of inventing the steamer was not to steam chicken, but to steam wine, get a small amount of high alcohol, and use it in small amounts during surgery.

However, because of the low efficiency, high cost and serious waste, Li Su did not intend to mass produce, nor could he produce high alcohol. He was too wasteful of food. In the late Han Dynasty where famines were everywhere, this technology spread would only lead to deeper suffering for the poor.

So he planned to hide this invention and only use it for the high-ranking generals of his side for limited use (of course, the most important thing is that if he needs surgery or debridement in the future, who made Li Su cherish his life). In order to cover up this real purpose, he said that this steamer was for eating steamer chicken.

At that time, he was despised by Zhang Fei, Lu Su and others: Boya, who had a big fight to eat delicious and clear broth, had a lot of trouble. I don’t know that this kind of broken pot steamed a pot of soup, which consumes four or five times more than just stewing it directly! I really don’t know that firewood or charcoal is expensive!

...

Zhou Yu enjoyed it in a daze for two days. Early on the third morning, he finally received a notice asking him to go to the Hanzhong Palace to discuss the important matters and someone would meet him.

Zhou Yu quickly packed up his image, sorted out the lines he wanted to say, and went there cautiously.

It was Li Su who met him.

After all, Zhou Yu had an official position. He had only one county magistrate Juchao who was actually enthroned by the court. At present, there was a temporary envoy, the Yangzhou Pastoral Director, who was the temporary envoy whom Sun Jian and Sun Ce talked to him about this plan and sent him to serve as an envoy.

Therefore, Zhou Yu's status is much lower than that of the Right General. It is a great honor to be received by the Right General himself. He also has to give some heavy gifts and say something admiration.

There are still polite words and diplomatic etiquettes that are not nutritious. Li Su also asked him if he had a comfortable time in the past few days. Of course, Zhou Yu had to say that "health and daily life have never been seen, and he has never heard of it."

After saying this, Li Su said: "My Lord knows the intention of Sun Polu. However, since no one has governed the land of Changsha for a long time, it is right to listen to Liu Jingzhou as the prefect and privately teach each other the etiquette of non-person ministers.

In my opinion, Sun Polu was already under the title of General Polu, Governor of Yuzhou, and Governor of Changsha, and the position of prefect of Changsha, and still cannot be taken over, which is not appropriate. Therefore, it is difficult for us to cooperate with this matter."

What Li Su said was strictly followed by the laws of the court.

Zhou Yu knew that it was impossible to talk about the matter of "selling the prefect" and that he would use the wording that was not arrogant when he discussed it with Sun Jian in a closed door.

In theory, Sun Jian's Changsha prefect should have disappeared. The reason why he was reluctant to let go was because of the fact that "we are trying to attack Dong Zhuo, so the new chaos in the court controlled by Dong Zhuo will not be accepted. Any appointment that deprived Dong Zhuo of the official position was a destruction of Dong Daye." It took more than a year's time difference.

Anyway, Wang Yun was killed by Li Jue and Guo Si, and Sun Jian took up another position and refused to leave, allowing the remaining defenders in Changsha to close the city gates and defend themselves, and their legality became increasingly low.

If Liu Biao was willing to attack, he could actually take down Changsha without the defense of the general. But Liu Biao did not dare to rashly destroy diplomatic relations for fear of causing a chain reaction. In addition, Zhao Yun was watching in Yidu and Wuling next to him, and the situation was complicated.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu did not deny that he knew that Li Su was suppressing the price, so he just explained with compliment: "The right general said very well. However, if the Hanzhong King just wanted to declare the laws of the court today, he would just send 1,600 shi of officials to send Yu. Why did the right general personally surrender to the nobles and say these things?"

The implication is: Liu Bei sent you here because he saw that it was worth trading. And it was precisely because of the dirty transaction that he only let the most confidant advisers talk directly, and he did not want the scandal to be known by the low-level civil servants under his command.

"Caughter, can you flatter me? It's very unique." Li Su thought to herself, feeling a little embarrassed to be hypocritical and nobler.

OK, since you can't just use clear and high, then use clear and high to reduce the price.

Li Su changed his words and said, "Don't misunderstand Gongjin. I'm not pretentious. I think Sun Polu's transaction is unlikely to be successful. I doubt his ability to deliver. Liu Biao will have an excuse to express his position as the prefect of Changsha at any time. His position may be worth nothing in a few months.

Although Li Jue and Guo Si held the emperor hostage, their current legitimacy still seems to be higher than that of Dong Zhuo's period of chaos. Li Jue and Guo Si are still retained for important officials of the Wang Yun period, such as General Yang Wu, General Yang Lie, Shi Sun Rui, Ma Riyi, and other Wang Yun periods, and have been promoted.

Month ago, Li Jue had just asked the Grand Tutor Ma Richang, and the Grand Duke Zhao Qi to comfort Guandong with the rituals. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao accepted the rituals of Ma Richang, and only the King of Hanzhong in the world refused to accept the rituals. If Liu Biao also submitted a statement to the rituals of Ma Richang and his troops to the prefect of Changsha, it would not be considered a fall in love? If Chang'an approved the agreement in the name of the Three Dukes' discussion, it would be inappropriate for Hanzhong to take over Sun Polu's transfer."

Li Su's words may be a little confused if he does not understand Li Jue's early diplomatic and political power environment.

Let me explain it a little here: Li Jue and Guo Si's legitimacy was similar to Dong Zhuo's first tyrannical nature after killing Wang Yun. Everyone in the world thinks that this is the remnant of Dong Zhuo and there is nothing to say.

However, Li Jue was very cunning - or Jia Xu behind him was very cunning. At that time, Jia Xu taught Li Jue a diplomatic plan to attract hatred, that is, he only praised General Wu and did not take any position as the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers for the time being.

At the same time, more than a month after Wang Yun was killed, and after the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an was slightly stable, Jia Xu advised Li Jue to further promote the title of Sun Rui, who had once conspired with Wang Yun to kill Dong, and Ma Riyi, in name only, but he did not give real power, let alone military power. It was also at this time that Huangfu Song was respected as the general of the chariot and cavalry.

Anyway, the handle of the knife is always firmly in the hands of the generals of the Xiliang Army.

This move is very vicious, which is equivalent to that in history, more than a month after Wang Yun was killed, nearly half a year after Wang Yun was killed, in the middle of four months, Li Jue and Guo Si's atrocities and rebellion were briefly whitewashed, at least a layer of fig leaf was covered.

After Li Jue was granted these officials, he immediately asked Ma Riyi to maintain his rituals and let all the princes of Guandong recognize it. In order to seize the interests of Qingzhou and Xuzhou territory, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also expressed their officials in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. As soon as Li Jue accepted it, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were temporarily "comfortified by Ma Riyi" and pretended to believe that "Li Jue and Guo Si did not disrupt the government. They just killed Wang Yun, who was arbitrary. Look, after Wang Yun's death, the other three dukes and nine ministers were retained."

Of course, in history, Li Jue and Guo Si were impatient people, and Jia Xu's treacherous plot only suppressed their expansion period for half a year. By the end of 192, they showed their true colors. Li Jue took Huangfu Song away as General of the Cheqi, and other military leaders were above Shi Sun Rui, Ma Riyan and other three kings of Chang'an.

It was after Yuan Shao and Cao Cao that he had reached this point. In the second half of 193, he completely changed his course and said that Li Jue and Guo Si were traitors. As for why they thought they were "not traitors" for four months last year, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would not reflect on it, but could say openly, "They did not show off like traitors in those four months. I think they respected the old ministers of the court, and seemed to be targeting Wang Yun alone."

Anyway, the word "official" is open, so diplomatic fraud can do everything.

Li Su now forced this point to remind Zhou Yu: Liu Biao may be like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, temporarily acknowledging the legitimacy of Li Jue and Guo Si in exchange for another prefect of Changsha. So Liu Bei did not believe that Sun Jian could deliver it. Maybe Liu Bei just gave him food and real money, and his delivery would be invalid. Liu Bei had to bear the transaction risk of "if you give money, you can't apply for a real estate certificate immediately", so don't offer a price randomly!

Can the money for selling pre-sale houses be sold? Can the money for selling small property houses be sold for commercial houses? You, the prefect of Changsha, may you not be able to obtain a small property right?

Of course, Li Su knew that Li Jue would not be able to help himself soon, and would completely restore the credibility of the court to a "traitor" state, but Zhou Yu didn't know it yet.

Li Su knew that he could get a real estate certificate with all his skills, but when buying, he had to use the saying "You are a small property house" to squeeze the psychological price of the house seller.

Zhou Yu indeed showed a painful expression of "being seen through" on his face, and he didn't know how to offer the offer.
