Chapter 229: Huan Xuan opened his mouth to ask for help
Cha Huan Xuan picked up the tea bowl, only to see that the color of this tea soup was turquoise, but it was very similar to the lotus root powder in Jiangnan, and there was a layer of white foam floating on the water surface of the tea soup, just like the floating of instant coffee, which should be the tea powder that had not melted just now.
Huan Xuan gently blew the hot air on the tea soup, took a sip, and felt a salty, astringent tea smell, just like adding salt to Longjing tea, there was actually a smell of pepper.
Huan Xuan put down the tea bowl and frowned: "Why did you put pepper in it?" ”
Wang Gong smiled slightly: "The taste of tea is bitter, although the stamina turns sweet, but at the moment of entry, it is unacceptable to many people, this pepper taste is pungent, and the spicy taste will make people no longer feel the bitter taste for a while, so the popular sencha method, this pepper is a must-have." ”
Huan Xuan drank the bowl of tea soup in his hand with a smile and put it down: "Sure enough, there are many doorways here, and it is indeed a drink that can show the morale of the celebrity, I think that in the near future, this tea ceremony will be the same as the tail of the mouth, and it will become a necessary tool for the Qing Dynasty to talk about Xuan." ”
Huan Xuan's tail is a kind of deer herd in the head of the deer, but also a particularly large and strong deer king's tail made of a kind of oversized dust, when talking about Xuan, both sides hold the tail, when talking about the Xuan, when talking about the rise, then strive to throw this tail to increase the momentum of its Xuan, just like when the later generations said cross talk, when talking about the high tide to shoot the case with a loud wood.
Wang Gong smiled and shook his head: "I don't think so, this way of sencha is so time-consuming, I'm afraid that when frying a pot of tea, it will be enough for them to argue a few back and forth, but it's still not as practical as the tail." ”
Huan Xuan nodded, looked at Wang Gong, and said: "Secretary Wang, the moonlight has also been rewarded, and the tea has been drunk, in this secret room, there are only you and me, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." ”
The smile on Wang Gong's face slowly faded, he drank the bowl of tea and soup in his hand, put it in front of him, looked at Huan Xuan, and said: "Gongzi Huan is really a cheerful person, Wang invited you at home today, firstly, I want to make friends with you, and secondly, I also want to discuss the situation in the DPRK with you." ”
Huan Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth: "The situation in the court, we have reached a consensus outside, King Huiji is not a pillar of the country, it's not because he scorned me today, I have a grudge to say bad things about him, but he really doesn't have the talent to govern the country." ”
Wang Gong smiled slightly: "In this case, why did Gongzi Huan surrender his identity today and take the initiative to go to the banquet?" In fact, this is a puzzle for me, your Huan family has always only tried to divide Jingxiang, and did not make friends with the courtiers, why did you bother to cling to the king of Huiji this time? ”
Huan Xuan sighed: "No way, if it was in normal times, how could our Huan family be like this?" But now that the Qin army is heading south, Xiangyang is in danger, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist only by relying on the strength of my Huan family. What's worse is that some people are trying to say that this time the Qin army is going south, and it is simply unreasonable to say that it was caused by our Huan family's troops to regain the lost territory! ”
Speaking of this, Huan Xuan's expression became a little excited, and he flicked his sleeves suddenly: "Could it be that our Huan family sent troops to the Northern Expedition and took advantage of the internal turmoil in Qin to recover the lost territory in Nanyang, can't it?" Some people in power in the DPRK and China do not go on the Northern Expedition themselves, and they do not allow others to go on the Northern Expedition, what kind of truth is this?! ”
Wang Gong knew that Huan Xuan was secretly scolding Xie An, the prime minister, but he knew that he had a good relationship with Xie Xuan, and he didn't dare to name him directly like Sima Daozi, so he could only turn around like this and use hidden words, he smiled slightly and said: "Master Huan, calm your anger, no matter what, your move to expand the land has given the Qin army a pretext to go south, but what we have to do now is to work together to overcome this difficulty." Didn't the lord you mentioned also form the Beifu Army, fight in the Jianghuai area, and respond to the war in Jingzhou? ”
Huan Xuan sighed: "This time I took office as Yixing Taishou, in fact, I want to take the opportunity to come to the imperial court and strive for greater support, although Jingzhou has been run by my Huan family for decades, but it is also the land of the Great Jin, now Jingzhou is in trouble, we hope that the imperial court can send a large army to rescue, otherwise, if the Qin State sees our internal disharmony and does its own thing, it will only increase the army, and when the time comes, let alone Xiangyang, even Jiangling is afraid that it will be difficult to protect." ”
Wang Gong remained silent, looked at Huan Xuan, and didn't speak for a long time, Huan Xuan sighed: "Could it be that Secretary Wang also thinks that the imperial court is right to do this?" Should our Huan family face Qiang Qin alone like this? ”
Wang Gong smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, Gongzi Huan, we don't have to play dumb riddles like this, let's be honest, you came this time, do you want the Beifu soldiers to join the Jingzhou battlefield and help you fight the Qin army together?" ”
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "I came back from the Beifu soldiers, I have seen their combat effectiveness with my own eyes, and I will say unceremoniously, this army is what anyone dreams of, and it is a blessing for the country that the Xie family can use the two Huai refugees to form such a force, if this army can join the Xiangyang battlefield, even Murong Chui will tremble!" ”
Wang Gong sighed: "The Qin State is not only attacking Xiangyang, but also has a large army in the Huaibei area, besieging San'a, the Beifu soldiers have just been formed, and the training and integration have not been completed, that is, the Huaibei battle situation, and they have not joined." A while ago, they had just scared off Peng Chao and rescued Tian Luo, who had rescued San'a, but they had also given up Peng Cheng, and they should not have the strength to rescue Jingzhou now. ”
Huan Xuan sneered: "Secretary Wang, if you don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, you and I know how Mao Anzhi's army collapsed." Before the great enemy, if you still want to play this kind of scheming, it will only ruin the state affairs. If even the Xie family guards our Huan family better than the Qin army, will there be any hope for the Great Jin? ”
Wang Gong shook his head: "Master Huan, be cautious, the defeat of these tens of thousands of troops is unexpected by anyone." Your mood is understandable, but without clear evidence, you can't just open your mouth. ”
Huan Xuan sighed: "I don't want the Beifu soldiers to join the Jingzhou battlefield now, I just hope that the imperial court can send the guards and horses of the Beijing Division, or let the Jiangzhou and Yuzhou troops who rely on Jingzhou come to support, so that we can feel that we can't just fight alone." ”
Wang Gong smiled slightly: "Actually, I think that to rescue Jingzhou, it is not necessary to send troops to Jingzhou, if the Beifu soldiers can defeat the Qin army on the battlefield of Lianghuai, then the siege of Xiangyang will be relieved." ”
Huan Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth: "I'm afraid it's too late, I heard that Fu Jian gave that Fu Pi a sword, and he was limited to capture Xiangyang within ten days, otherwise he would use this sword to cut himself." If there is no new force to join, Zhu Taishou is afraid that he will not be able to stop it for long! ”
