Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 124 The solution is very simple

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 travel all the way to Jiangdong?
Therefore, Xun Yu recommended his nephew Xun You, who was also working under Cao Cao and was 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, and a mustache on his lips. Some people say he is 20 years older than Xun Yu. letter!

However, Guo Jia also believed in 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, Song Xian, who was sitting at the banquet behind Lu Bu, 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?Does this bald sergeant have no brains?

However, after finding out that Lu Bu just glanced at him and didn't stop him, the others couldn't say much.

After all, the relationship between Lu Bu and Bai Tu lies here. It is Lu Bu's generals who are speaking 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 Guards. However, let alone Tai Shici, the real Chief of Guards who was on a business trip, even Zhou Tai, who was acting as substitute, could not tolerate this bald man's presumption. 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, so 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 wouldn't treat him badly, but don't even think about it, Captain Su... Bai Tu wouldn't joke with his own life.

Make 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 hand over the matter of raising pigs to Song Xian!

Song Xian was not very happy before. After all, raising pigs... was not a pleasant thing to do. He was disgusted with the meat of those things, so raising them was not of high quality.

Although I knew that he was not asked to raise the pigs himself, but that he was put 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 industry, he was not very reassured and only said he would think about it.

But just now at the banquet, he tasted the gelding pork, and saw the reactions of those powerful families and famous people. In addition, 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...

"Want 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?Disaster!

Song Xian grinned and said: "It's very simple! Just castrate. Do you understand 'castration'? It means gelding... Oh, by the way, to give you an example that you can understand better, it is a eunuch! Eunuchs are not called 'purification' Is it? The pig will be clean after a while! You are from Cao Cao, so you don’t know what a eunuch is? Hahaha..."

Xun You's face turned green when he heard that!
Song Xian's words were full of meaning, and he bit the word "eunuch" 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.

But as I said before, not everyone in the big family is well-dressed and well-fed. The clansmen on the sidelines also have to work hard to make ends meet. Some people starve to death in disaster years... and some even become eunuchs.

For example, one of the most famous eunuchs-Cao Teng.

In the history without the "White Rabbit Effect", Cao Teng was the only eunuch with the title of emperor, because he adopted Cao Song, a son of the Xiahou family, 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 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. 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 edges. However, the principle of "the master humiliates his ministers to death" made Xun You angry.

"Hey, Song Xian! If you say eunuch, you can say eunuch, why mention Cao Gong!" Bai Tu said "dissatisfied".

"Ah? This... I want to say that Mr. Xun You came from Xudu. I heard that Mr. Cao...to welcome the emperor, all civil and military officials are also in Xudu. Naturally, there are 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 slip of the tongue. Fine wine and fine wine..." Bai Tu acted as if I didn't know the connection between Cao Cao and the eunuch, and used the fine wine to block his snickering Face.

Xun You was still angry, but... on the surface, what Song Xian said was really reasonable. 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...
