There was no need for Xun You to come as an envoy to Jiangdong.
After all, in Xun Yu's judgment, Bai Tu's threat level was very low. On the other hand, the purpose of sending an envoy to Jiangdong was simply to agree to send troops to Huainan together. This was also beneficial to Jiangdong, and there was no difficulty in sending an envoy!
However, Guo Jia recommended himself and seemed very worried about Jiang Dong.
But with Guo Jia's body, how could Cao Cao and Xun Yu trust him to go all the way to Jiangdong?
Therefore, Xun Yu recommended his nephew Xun You, who was also under Cao Cao's tent and six years older than himself, to be sent as envoy to Jiangdong to observe Bai Tu's thoughts and Jiangdong's potential.
If Xun Yu looks like a baby, then Xun You looks like the exact opposite. He has heavy nasolabial folds, eyebrow lines, and canthus wrinkles. He also has a mustache on his lips - he is said to be twenty years older than Xun Yu.
Someone believes it!
However, Guo Jia also trusted Xun You's ability, so he did not persist.
At the banquet, Xun You directly asked him about the secret of pork that he was curious about in the name of "presenting it to the emperor". There was a good reason.
But at this moment, behind Lu Bu, Song Xian, who was at the banquet, said, "Mr. Messenger, you don't understand this. It's actually very simple to make this pork delicious..."
The others were stunned for a moment - did you really tell him that? This bald sergeant has no brains?
However, after discovering that Lu Bu just glanced at him and did not stop him, the others could not say much.
After all, the relationship between Lu Bu and Bai Tu is here. It is Lu Bu's generals who are talking now. If Bai Tu and Lu Bu don't stop them, what can others say?
What's more, most people are also doubting in their hearts, does this bald man really understand?
Really understand!
Bai Tu and Song Xian had talked about raising pigs...
After Song Xian came to Jiangdong, he originally wanted to be Bai Tu's chief of guard. However, let alone Tai Shici, the real chief of guard who was on a business trip, even Zhou Tai, who was acting as substitute, could not tolerate this bald man's arrogance.
After Song Xian showed provocation once, he directly grabbed Destiny by the scruff of his neck and threw him out of the door!
Although compared with ordinary people, Song Xian is tall and has a sinister face, but in Zhou Tai's hands, he is no different from a cat...
Bai Tu knew that Song Xian was the one who made trouble first, but he just pretended that he didn't know, but he talked to Song Xian specifically afterward.
In this Battle of Xuzhou, Song Xian was credited - with his perfect disguise, he was regarded as an accomplice by the rebellious party and tipped off at the critical moment!
Bai Tu would not treat him badly, but don't even think about it, Captain Su... Bai Tu would not joke with his own life.
Make him a general? Bai Tu was afraid that he would cause trouble in the future, and Song Xian himself was not very happy about it. He wanted to be Bai Tu's guard chief, but he also wanted to be a noble man in peace and stability.
So Bai Tu wants to leave the pig raising matter to Song Xian!
Song Xian was not very happy before. After all, raising pigs... was not a nice thing to do. He was disgusted by the meat, so raising pigs was not of high quality.
Although I knew that he was not asked to raise the pigs himself, but that he was asked to be in charge of the pig raising department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Even if Bai Tu told him about the prospects of the pig farming industry, he was not very reassured and only said to think about it.
But just now at the banquet, he tasted gelding pork, and saw the reactions of those wealthy and distinguished families, and what Bai Tu also told him about several by-products that can be produced after raising pigs. Song Xian felt...
He was born to be responsible for raising pigs!
At this time, Song Xian felt unhappy when he heard Xun You asking about the secrets of "the department he was responsible for", especially since Xun You was still a member of Cao Cao and had old grudges with Lu Bu...
"I would like to hear the details!" Xun You heard this and looked at his bald head with burning eyes.
Bai Tu also watched with relief. Song Xian had no other abilities, but Xun You wanted to snatch the meat from his mouth? Difficult!
Song Xian grinned and said: "It's very simple! Just castrate. Do you understand 'castrate'? It means gelding... Oh, by the way, to give you a more clear example, it is a eunuch! Eunuchs are not called 'purification'
Really? Just clean the pig and it will be clean! You are from Cao Cao, don’t you know what a eunuch is? Hahaha..."
Xun You's face turned green when he heard this!
Song Xian's words were full of meaning, and the word "eunuch" was chewed to death, making Lu Bu in front of him laugh out loud.
Diao Chan on the side poked Lu Bu in a subtle way, reminding him to pay attention to his image...
Ordinarily, although Song Xian's words were very brief, he did not lie, but... after hearing this in Xun You's ears, he had to think more!
Cao Cao was born in the Cao family, but his father, Cao Song, was not a blood relative of the Cao family at first, but a member of the Xiahou family.
The Cao family and the Xiahou family are both prominent families in Qiao County, and their ancestors were both founding heroes of the Western Han Dynasty. It can be said that they have been friends for generations.
However, as mentioned before, not everyone in the big family is well-dressed and well-fed. The people from the neighboring clans also have to work hard to make a living. Some people starve to death in disaster years... and some even become eunuchs.
For example, one of the most famous eunuchs-Cao Teng.
In history without the "white rabbit effect", Cao Teng was the only eunuch with the title of emperor, because he adopted a son from the Xiahou family, Cao Song, and Cao Song had another son...Cao Cao!
When Cao Teng was alive, he was also a high-ranking eunuch with a relatively good reputation, not as bad as the Shi Changshi. Moreover, Cao Song could have a title and money to buy the three official positions. Cao Cao could be the eighth captain of Xiyuan together with those officials' sons.
This is all thanks to Cao Teng's cover!
But even so...Cao Cao was often humiliated by people with this level of background.
Lu Bu easily destroyed Cao Cao's retreat because the Yanzhou nobles were alienated from Cao Cao. The reason why they were alienated was because Cao Cao killed a group of Yanzhou scholars without permission. And the reason why Cao Cao was so angry that he raised his butcher knife was precisely because of these people.
Use the fact that he is the eunuch's grandson to criticize him...
After being tormented by Lu Bu, Cao Cao has reconciled with the Yanzhou nobles, and Cao Cao has grown a lot. Now some people call him the eunuch's grandson, and he has a better way to deal with it.
However, the way Song Xian winked now made Xun You absolutely convinced - this guy was humiliating Cao Cao, which meant humiliating himself!
"Presumptuous! You...is this the way Mr. Bai treats guests?" Xun You said angrily.
In fact, Xun You was not an irritable person, and even among Cao Cao's subordinates, he was a good old man with no sharp edges. However, the principle of "the master humiliates his ministers to death" made Xun You angry.
"Ahem, Song Xian! If you say eunuch, just say eunuch, why mention Cao Gong!" Bai Tu said "dissatisfied".
"Ah? This... I want to say that Mr. Xun You is from Xu Du. I heard that Mr. Cao A... served the emperor. I think all the civil and military officials are also in Xu Du. Naturally, there are also eunuchs and maids... I
...I don’t know why Mr. Xun You is so angry." Song Xian innocently touched his big head and looked at Bai Tu blankly.
"That's...that's right, ahem...I made a mistake. I was punished with alcohol and alcohol..." Bai Tu said as if he didn't know what the connection between Cao Cao and the eunuch was. He used the alcohol to stop himself from snickering.
Face.
Xun You was still angry, but... on the surface, what Song Xian said really made sense, but if he was too sensitive, it would give people bad associations.
When Song Xian looked at Xun You, he winked deliberately, indicating that he did it on purpose!
He really didn't believe that this mustache dared to go back and tell Cao Cao that delicious pigs, like your grandfather, also need to be castrated...
