"It's so fragrant! It's weird!" Xue Mi muttered, his fingers couldn't help but twist a few times, his throat squirmed a few times, and he forcibly swallowed his curiosity before returning to his position, looking at Liu Han and saying with a smile: "Well, smelling it makes people have a great appetite." For more recent chapters, visit: . ”

"This roasted whole sheep is not easy to roast, and it will take an hour to sort out the materials. Liu Han said: "There are more ingredients, there are more than a dozen, the roasting process to constantly adjust the part of the sheep, to ensure uniform heating, the whole sheep roasted, to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, to do this, without two or three years of experience, it is not possible." ”

"Ah!" Xue Mi was shocked and looked very disappointed: "I still want the cook at home to learn from it." ”

"That's fine. Liu Han said with a smile: "This roasted whole sheep, to eat in winter, sheep 'sex' dry, in winter is a great tonic, it is best not to eat in summer." ”

"Brother is also involved in 'medicine'?" Xue Yu asked casually, Liu Han shrugged: "We run the Western Regions business road like this, we have to know a little bit about everything, maybe that will save our lives." ”

Xue Mi nodded slightly, and the two chatted for a while, and the 'waiter' and 'woman' brought wine and food, but there were not many dishes, that is, three small dishes, which were also very ordinary, not big fish and big 'meat'.

"I usually eat simple at home, and I don't have much preparation, so I'll just eat it today. Liu Han said a little apologetically, in this era, to entertain guests, there are eight bowls and eight plates of dishes, and they are embarrassed to take out their hands.

Xue Mi smiled indifferently: "Brother, I didn't come to you to eat and drink, and we don't need to talk about this, well, you don't seem to have invited guests?"

Liu Han frowned, thought about it, shook his head and said, "Please, not long after Qingjin entered the 'door', Qiu Ge and they came, but your brother didn't come." ”

Xue Mi thought about it for a while, there seemed to be such a thing, that time Liu Han invited a treat in the name of thanks, he was on duty in the palace at that time, and he was unable to participate.

"Brother, I don't know anything about the Forbidden Army. Liu Han looked at Xue Mi and made no secret of his intention to ask for advice.

Xue Mi took a sip of wine and said indifferently: "In this forbidden army, Hou Yang Hui was born in Yang Valve, and is the younger brother of the imperial concubine, in the palace, the imperial concubine and the queen mother have a very good relationship, but this Yang Hui, well, you will know later, the left guard general Pan Che, is Pan Ji's nephew, and the right guard general 'Chun', born in the Jizhou Hu family. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Yu stopped and looked at Liu Han, Liu Han was a little suspicious at first, and then understood, this guy understands this, he frowned slightly: "That's all?"

Xue Mi was slightly embarrassed, and laughed a few times, and Liu Han asked again, "How are they cultivating?"

"Cultivation?" Xue Mi was slightly stunned at first, then understood, and laughed twice again before saying: "There shouldn't be, um, let me think about it," Xue Mi thought for a while: "Yang Hui and Pan Che definitely don't, but there should be 'spring', as for how deep, I don't know, hey, I said, you have to go in, don't you know." ”

Liu Han looked at him angrily, and shook his head very hatefully: "You, you, the purpose of my visit is not to be a petty official to 'mix' days, know more about the inside story, and it is easy to 'mix', before you had no one in it, eating, drinking and having fun, how many did you 'make'?"

Xue Mi thought about it now, but then he laughed embarrassedly again: "I used to drink with some forbidden army officers, but they all seemed to have been transferred." ”

Liu Han couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and Xue Yu suddenly felt a little dissatisfied again: "I said Brother Liu, you can't do everything by me." ”

"How many years have you been in the imperial capital," Liu Han asked rhetorically: "Your Xue family doesn't have a few old relatives and friends in the imperial court?" Brother Xue, Lord Xue, if you want to make a difference, you must first understand what power you have in your hands, those among the courtiers are yours, those are opponents, those are neutral, neutral can be fought for, opponents, those can be divided and fought for, those are not guilty, you, drink and gamble all day long, in the future, you have to think about it." ”

In the face of Liu Han's lesson, Xue Mi's face was slightly red, but he was not angry, since he made a volunteer, he didn't know how to proceed, yes, he has very good conditions, the queen is his cousin, Da Jin has always had the habit of reusing relatives, his future is great, but before that, he never had this awareness, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling is his greatest interest, and now he wants to do things, only to know that he has spent so much time and 'fine' effort.

Liu Han looked at him, Xue Mi's expression changed all in his eyes, and he regretted a little in his heart, if Xue Mi couldn't hang up, and then became angry, it would be very detrimental to the future. His mind turned, Liu Han picked up his wine glass and smiled at Xue Yu: "Brother Xue, I'm a straighter person to speak."

"What Brother Liu said," Xue Yu sighed: "Over the years, I have 'made' a lot of friends, or I think they are friends, but before he died, my father blamed me for saying that all I 'made' were wine and 'meat' friends, and warned me to 'make' friends." Speaking of this, he sighed: "I didn't understand before, but now I know that Brother Liu is what my father said about you, a real friend." ”

Liu Han breathed a sigh of relief, and Xue Mi also picked up his wine glass: "Actually, in the eyes of outsiders, my Xue Mi was born in the 'door' valve, and my cousin is the crown princess, so it is said that the scenery is infinite, but in fact, my Xue family's 'door' is not high, and those high 'door' people look down on it at all, but fortunately, there is a cousin who is the crown princess, if there is no such layer, what Tian family Cui family can't enter at all." ”

Speaking of this, Xue Mi sighed deeply, as if he wanted to sigh out of this breath of all the grievances he had suffered before: "Okay now, my cousin has become the queen, and I have also entered the middle school supervisor, and I will enter the Shangshutai again in the future, hmph, I want to let those who bully my Xue family take a look, and my Xue family will also have a big day." Brother Liu, you have to help me. ”

Liu Han picked up the wine glass again, Xue Mi also picked up the wine glass, the two of them respected each other, put down the wine glass, Liu Han looked at Xue Mi and sighed: "Ling Zun is really a wise old man, okay, I'll help you with this! Brother Xue, we are just starting out, to enter Shangshutai, your current performance is not enough, you have to have a better performance." ”

Xue Yu nodded, and Liu Han said again: "Now that you have laid a wedge in the emperor's heart, you were too ridiculous before, and the emperor is afraid that he will have to investigate you for a period of time, so during this time, you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

Xue Mi nodded again, and he immediately remembered something: "Brother Liu, do you know anything about the situation outside the Saiwai?"

Liu Han was stunned for a moment, and then remembered: "You are talking about Central Xianbei, my caravan has been there before, and I know something." ”

"There is a dispute between the Golden Eagle Tribe and the Mingdi Tribe in Xianbei in the central part of the country, and the imperial court is arguing between sending troops or not, do you say it is better to send troops or not to send troops?" Xue Mi asked.

Liu Han thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile and said: "Send troops? Now that the grassland is freezing and snowy, they can't fight themselves, what are they sending troops for?"

"No, it's after the 'spring' next year. Xue Yu hurriedly added, and then looked at Liu Han expectantly.

Liu Han sighed softly, and then did not speak, holding the wine glass and thinking carefully, Xue Mi did not disturb him, while drinking and waiting, after a while, Liu Han drank the wine in the cup, looked at Xue Mi and said: "Whether or not to send troops depends on two conditions, first, whether the imperial treasury is full; second, whether the army is combatable, whether the army is combatable, and whether the army is combatable, depends on two points, the first is whether the army has a qualified commander, and second, whether the army morale is available." ”

Xue Yu sighed: "Yes, the imperial court treasury is empty, Gu Wei reported that the imperial court's tax revenue this year is less than last year's, and it is simply unable to go out to conquer the outside world. ”

"What does the emperor think?" Liu Han nodded lightly, indicating that he understood what Xue Mi meant, and Xue Mi smiled bitterly: "The emperor wants to send troops, but the five auxiliary ministers of Shangshutai are all opposed, but they support it." ”

"Have you been asked?" Liu Han asked again, and Xue Yu nodded again: "I asked, I didn't say anything to death, I just said that Shang Shutai's opinion was reasonable, but I submitted the recital you drafted for me to the emperor, and the emperor was very satisfied, and asked me for a long time, and asked me very carefully, many of which we didn't expect, damn, I almost 'exposed' my feet." ”

Liu Han smiled: "I can't do everything, you have to use some brains." didn't say anything and left a chance, Brother Xue, this is a chance for you. ”

"Oh!" Xue Mi was a little curious, and couldn't help but lean forward: "What?

Liu Han shook his head: "Don't think about sending troops, even if you open up salt and iron, the treasury will not be so easy to improve, at most it will increase by about 10 billion yuan, there are too many places where Dajin needs to use money, and this money is just a drop in the bucket." ”

Xue Mi nodded again and again when he listened, but he was even more curious, since the military salary was not good, how could he send troops?

"The things on the grassland, the grassland people know best," Liu Han said: "The competition between the Golden Eagle Tribe and the Mingdi Tribe seems to be 'very' serious, but in fact, the problem can be big or small, if it is handled properly, it can not only be easily resolved, but also show the prestige of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Brother Xue can also add another point in the emperor's heart." ”

"Oh, and this good thing, it can be solved without troops?" Xue Mi suddenly became interested.

Liu Han nodded with a smile: "Over the years, I have been in Dajin Chengping for too long, and I always thought that Xianbei was beaten down, and I knew less and less about the desert. ”

"Brother, just say it quickly," Xue Yu was a little anxious, and hurriedly urged, Liu Han smiled and shook his head at him: "Brother Xue, Brother Xue, if you want to control Shang Shutai, you still need to put a little more effort into cultivating your qi." ”

Xue Mi sighed helplessly when he saw this, Liu Han knew that he was really in a hurry, so he didn't sell it, so he said: " According to the reaction of my caravan, the central Xianbei is divided into dozens of tribes, the largest tribe is three, the Golden Eagle Tribe, the Mingdi Tribe, and another tribe is called the Changlu Tribe, the Khan of the Golden Eagle Tribe is surnamed Heba, so the Golden Eagle Tribe is also called Hebabu, the Khan of the Mingdi tribe is surnamed Xubu, also called the Subu tribe, the Changlu tribe is called Mujin, also called Mujinbu, and there are dozens of other large and small tribes, these tribes are attached to the three major tribes;

In addition to the central Xianbei, there are also Xianbei in the west and the east Xianbei, the situation in the west and the central Xianbei is much the same, but it is simpler than the central Xianbei, the western Xianbei is mainly two major tribes, the Tuoba tribe and the bald tribe, the Tuoba tribe has the closest relationship with my Dajin, because he borders Liangzhou and Yongzhou in my Dajin, and the bald tribe borders the northwest of Liangzhou, and there are dozens of small tribes attached to these two tribes; 。

Since the bald tree function died, all the Xianbei tribes want to dominate the grassland, they all want to reunify Xianbei, they are all looking for opportunities, so the relationship between them is both cooperation and defense, cooperation, because they are all Xianbei people, defense, because they want to unify Xianbei, but it is themselves who unify Xianbei, not others.

The bald department of Xianbei in the west set their sights on the Western Regions, so they sent troops to the Western Regions last year, but the Tuoba Department did not want the bald department to grow, so they sent troops to attack the bald department and contain the actions of the bald department, and today we can borrow this idea.

Now, the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei in the west has a good relationship with my Great Jin, and in addition, the Duan tribe and the Xianbei tribe in the eastern Xianbei also have a good relationship with my Great Jin, in addition, the Baima tribe in the southern Xianbei and the Xiongnu Di people and the Qian people are all 'friendly' with my Great Jin, and they all have protons in my Great Jin.

The central Xianbei is in turmoil, we can borrow the power of the western Xianbei and the eastern Xianbei, as well as the southern Xianbei, and let the Tuoba Department gather troops in the west of the Heba Department, let the Duan tribe and the Murong Department gather troops in the east of the Xubu Department, and let the White Horse Department of the Southern Xianbei gather troops in the south.

Of course, my Great Jin can even not send troops, first send a messenger to the desert to announce the decree, order them to stop the war, if there is any problem, go to the state, let the state assassin Shi or Taiyuan Wang Yanqin for them to adjust, this is a policy;

In this way, I think that at most, it will only 'spend' a billion or so to settle this matter. ”

Xue Mi heard that his heart was full of flowers, and he almost jumped up, rushed over and hugged Liu Han and kissed him, which made Liu Han shudder.

"Alas, if only you had to be there at that time!" Xue Mi rubbed his hands in 'agitation' and disappointment, Liu Han smiled faintly: "It's not too late now, isn't the emperor still undecided, and there is still a chance." ”

Xue Mi nodded again and again, and suddenly he asked again: "You say, who does the emperor want to ask, how can I answer?"

Liu Han frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said: "No matter who you send, don't go, this trip is very dangerous, if these two tribes don't listen and are determined to fight, I'm afraid that this envoy will not return, even if he is lucky enough to come back, I'm afraid he will be charged." ”

Xue Mi couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, he had this idea just now, but he didn't think that Liu Han poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and then thought about it, Liu Han really didn't say it wrong, if this Heba tribe and the Subu tribe really don't listen to the greeting, I'm afraid it will be really difficult for this Qincha to come back.
