Chapter 241 Captain

Liu Ye and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled. Although they didn't say a word, they kept silent.

Seeing Liu Ye and Cao Cao's familiar appearance, He Jin wondered, "Meng De, Yu Qing, so you two are from the old days?"

Cao Cao respectfully said: "General, in the first year of Zhongping, someone was ordered to be the captain of cavalry, and led the army to Changsha to support General Cheqi, and Yuqing has served under the command of General Cheqi since then."

Liu Ye nodded, and said with emotion: "Yes, four years have passed in a flash, but isn't brother Meng De the prime minister of Jinan?"

Cao Cao hummed: "A certain has been in power in Jinan for several years, but he felt that he lacked knowledge, so he went home to study, and because of the imperial conscript, he became a lieutenant in the Dianjun."

He Jin smiled and said, "Haha, it turns out that Yuqing and Meng De have known each other so early, it seems that I don't need an introduction from this general."

Liu Ye and Cao Cao didn't chat for a long time. After all, they were in the General's residence at the moment, and He Jin still wanted to introduce others to Liu Ye. If he had anything to say, he could put it down for later.

"Jing Sheng is the same as Yu Qing. After being the ancestors, he is currently working as an aide in the general's mansion. You are a family."

He Jin said to a middle-aged man who was obviously older than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao by ten years, although this man was over forty years old, he was dignified, with a clear face, and looked like a celebrity.

"I'm Liu Biao, whose cursive character is Jingsheng. Yuqing is young and promising. At a young age, she is already a governor of a side, governor of Liangzhou, and has made countless military exploits. I admire him very much."

Liu Ye smiled slightly: "Brother Jing Sheng is the pillar of the imperial court, and he will definitely appear in the future."

The prefect and state shepherd are not the same nowadays, it can be seen from the salary alone, one must know that the annual salary of a county guard is two thousand shi, while the prefect is only six hundred shi, and the state shepherd is of course far more than two thousand shi. thousand stones.

The governors of the thirteen prefectures were originally a supervisory system established by Emperor Wu to strengthen the centralization of power, and the governors of each prefecture are basically equivalent to the current directors of the supervisory department, and logically speaking, they have no administrative power.

The state shepherd is different. The state shepherd is in charge of the military and political power of a state, which can be said to be the civil affairs and military affairs. In the future, Liu Biao will indeed serve as the Jingzhou shepherd.

He Jin introduced many people to Liu Ye one after another, the so-called "celebrities", and Liu Ye returned the gifts one after another, but except for the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao, Xun You, Liu Biao and others, the rest of them just remembered .

"Come, come, everyone, please take a seat, today I will not get drunk."

He Jin was very forthright and immediately invited everyone to enter.

He Jin is worthy of being a great general, and his family business is probably even richer than some big businessmen. After a group of people were divided into left and right seats, there were two rows of waiters in the hall carrying food trays, and only one waiter was seen. The handsome waiter walked up to Liu Ye slowly, bowed to him and gave him a salute, then put down the food plate, and put the food on it in small bowls and plates in front of him.

In fact, our country implemented the same meal sharing system as Japan in ancient times. To be precise, Japan learned it from our country. After all, Queen Himiko of the Wa Kingdom once paid tribute to the Kingdom of Wei and received rewards.

There wasn't much food on the table, but everything was very delicate. It was obvious that He Jin hired an expert from the mansion and prepared for a long time. However, Liu Ye was not surprised at all. Ancient food was far inferior to modern food. Cooking methods such as stir-frying were mostly not available at this time, and they were basically stewed and boiled.

On the other hand, He Jin smiled and invited everyone to eat, while casually looking at Liu Ye, only to find that Liu Ye was eating without changing his expression. Afterwards, he has been in decline for a long time, and when he sent people to inquire about the details of this kid, he seemed to have been sent to prison for beating up the son of a wealthy family in his hometown. If it wasn't for the Yellow Turban Uprising, he might not be able to get out.

He Jin himself is a butcher, and he has always been looked down upon by other ministers, but he also "knows his shame and then becomes brave". After becoming a general, he immediately hired teachers to learn aristocratic etiquette. Aristocratic style.

He originally thought that Liu Ye would at least be a little surprised when he saw such an exquisite meal, but he was unmoved, and his evaluation of Liu Ye was immediately higher in his heart.

"Haha, all the people gathering in a certain mansion today are young Yingjies. At first, Gong Gong, Meng De served as the captain of the West Garden at a young age. Jing Sheng and Yu Qing are both descendants of the great ancestors, full of talents. How about a glass of wine?"

He Jin raised the wine bar, Liu Ye and others also raised it up, covered their faces with their sleeves, and drank it all in one gulp.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, He Jin clapped his hands. In the eyes of everyone, only two teams of maids walked into the hall gently. These two rows of maids were dressed in light gauze, with enchanting figures, one could tell that they were worth a lot of money. A total of sixteen people in the two rows danced in the hall.

The maid's dance was obviously rehearsed, and her movements were neat and uniform. A scent of powder lingered in everyone's mouths and noses. The dancer had a smile on her face. Although all the ladies present were celebrities, there were also many people who were salivating.

Heroes love beauties, as Confucius said, a gentleman loves sex, so it’s no big deal.

However, Liu Ye was still unmoved. After all, he has experienced all kinds of information bombardment, and his experience is too rich. In his eyes, a group of maids dancing can only be appreciated.

He Jin secretly looked at Liu Ye again, and seeing Liu Ye sitting upright with clear eyes, he gave a secret praise from the bottom of his heart.

slap.

He Jin clapped his palms and raised his voice: "Okay, step back."

The two rows of dancers stopped immediately, and then retreated slowly, while Yuan Shu stared at the lead dancer among them with fiery eyes, quite reluctant to part.

After He Jin noticed it, he smiled slightly: "If Gonglu likes Liuyuan, I can make some arrangements and send it to my house."

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and cupped his hands in thanks. He Jin waved his hands and smiled, indicating that it was nothing.

But then, He Jin's voice sank when he spoke.

"Gentlemen, I got a piece of news recently." He Jin said coldly: "Your Majesty wants to command the Eighth Army of Xiyuan, Meng De, Gonglu, Ben Chuer, etc., under Jian Shuo's command."

"It makes no sense!"

Yuan Shu jumped up and said excitedly: "Jian Shuo is only an eunuch, it is his blessing to serve His Majesty in the palace, how can he lead the army and become a general?"

It was Xun You who was sitting next to Liu Ye. Seeing Liu Ye's puzzled expression, he immediately came over and said, "Jian Shuo was castrated after he became an adult, so he has a strong physique. Military, want to make the prince Xie the prince."
