Chapter 31 Come to dinner!

March 12th.

Chen County is only three hundred miles away from Dingling, and Chen State's sincerity took only five days to arrive as scheduled.

When two hundred good horses appeared outside Dingling City, Chen Fei was so excited that he almost wanted to kiss the other official. Fortunately, Guo Jia grabbed him and barely maintained the dignified prefect of the two thousand stones.

"Chen Guogong Cao Yuan Huan, pay homage to Chen Fujun."

The officials who came to give gifts and Chen Qun were on par, which was enough to reflect Liu Chong's attitude towards Chen Fei.

Yuan Huan looks less than thirty years old, his temperament seems gentle, but he seems to have a sense of righteousness. He only explained:

"The food and grass are inconvenient to operate, so they will arrive in batches. Don't blame me."

Chen Fei quickly held his arms and thanked him sincerely:

"How dare you blame me? Chen and His Highness Chen have never been a common person, but they are so kind. I am very grateful. I am inexplicably grateful. I would like to rest in Dingling for a night, wait for Chen to express my greetings."

Yuan Huan responded with a smile, and then was led by Guo Jia to the guest room.

Chen Qun, who arrived in Dingling with him, reported to the prefect alone:

"His Highness Chen is brave and brave, and has good military management. The Prime Minister Luo Jun assists with him wholeheartedly and is good at civil affairs. This king and prime minister are deeply loved in the territory of Chen. The prince of the Mansion is given as a helper and should be loved by friends."

Chen Fei nodded:

"Thank you for a long time."

Chen Qun said again:

"The King of Liang was young, with a small land and a small people, and he always followed the leader of King Chen."

Chen Fei thought about it and nodded.

His previous life was just an ordinary game enthusiast. He was involved in apart from the Japanese games "The Three Kingdoms" and "The True Three Kingdoms Invincible" and online games. He never seriously studied background and history. Therefore, he had no impression of King Chen and King Liang Liu Mi, and he had no idea about the abilities, status, influence, and final outcome of these two Han clan relatives in history.

According to the current judgment, Liu Chong has a very good reputation and is a rare wise king. Whether it is legal or moral, Chen Fei cannot attack him and seize territory. Otherwise... not only the military and civilians of Chen State did not agree, but also the two governors of Yuzhou, Liu Bei and Guo Gong!

Similarly, Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou who was eyeing the north, and Yuan Shu, the governor of Yangzhou who was intending to counterattack in the southeast, would not agree!

Although the Han Dynasty has declined, if you dare to openly kill a prince of the clan, you will definitely become the target of public criticism!

After understanding this principle, Chen Fei immediately extinguished his ambition and prepared to focus all his energy on integrating Yingchuan troops and dealing with the goal of Runan Yellow Turbans.

-

"Preparation is rushed and the meals are simple. Yaoqing must not dislike it."

At the dinner that day, Chen Fei of course had to entertain guests well, and for this purpose he killed a lamb.

He really wants to thank Zhao Kang. If this rich man hadn't knocked down his knife handle, Chen Fei, who loves meat, would have been out of food long ago.

"How dare you dislike it...uh? Fujun? This is..."

Yuan Huan first made a polite approach, and then he was stunned at the small hot pot that had just been served.

Considering that the guests may not be able to accept the way of sitting together in a meal, Chen Fei also thoughtfully prepared a single-serve small copper pot for him.

Senior mutton hotpot enthusiast Guo Jia was willing to popularize food to him:

"This is a hot pot, which can also be called a shabu shabu. The bottom of the pot is either made with lard, butter and chicken oil, supplemented with green onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and various seasonings, and then mushrooms, fungus, fungus, tofu, winter melon and radish, cut the pork, beef and mutton into thin slices and put it in the pot, and it will cook instantly, and the meat tastes the most delicious..."

The genius of the world introduced this passionately, and with the plates of fresh red meat slices delivered one after another, the founders of hot pot in this era were all a little nervous, let alone Yuan Huan, whom he first saw?

In order to show respect for the guests, Chen Fei also specially arranged for Yang Lian to serve at any time. Otherwise, he would be worried that Yuan Huan, who had eaten shabu shabu for the first time, would swell the mutton too old and affect the taste.

Yang Lian, who had been serving Chen Fei for several months, has now experienced many battles in eating hot pot. Of course, Yuan Huan is no problem, and soon he enjoys it very much.

I could only hear the sound of soup rolling and slamming my mouth and exhaling. The scene of the meal was very hot at one point, so that Chen Fei completely forgot that the other purpose of this meal... was actually to win over Yuan Huan for his own use.

Although he didn't know Yuan Huan at all, Chen Qun told him privately that the Yuan family of Chen State, like the Yuan family of Runan, were both famous Central Plains, and would rather use it incorrectly than let it go.

"call……"

Half a pound of mutton and half a pound of pork, Chen Fei breathed a long sigh.

Since this winter, at Guo Jia’s strong request, he has eaten at least fifty hot pot meals - this is still considered that Guo Jia has been resting for two months!

To be honest, no matter how delicious it is, I'm a little tired of eating it for the first half of the year...

But he looked at Guo Jia who was still putting meat into the pot, decided to take back the sentence, and then turned to Yuan Huan:

"Mr. Yaoqing, I wonder if I can adapt to this rough way of eating in the military camp?"

Yuan Huan finished eating the last slice of cabbage in his pot, slowly put down his chopsticks, and breathed out:

"In today's chaotic times, countless people leave their hometowns and cannot live in peace. What's more, they abandon their wives and children, and even change their children to eat. Although the Chen State has not suffered a great disaster, it is not an outdoor place. Hungry people often die in the countryside. Every time I think of this, I feel very sad."

His expression was slightly depressed:

"To be honest, since the beginning of peace, Yuan has only had two or three dishes per meal, and has never drunk more than one bucket of alcohol. Today, the pork and mutton meat eaten has exceeded the past month. I think I feel quite ashamed."

In the face of his feelings of worrying about the country and the people, everyone in the hall felt a little moved. Guo Jia, the only one who was still eating meat, finally stopped chewing. Even his favorite chicken butt seemed to be no longer fragrant.

Chen Fei nodded and expressed his feelings:

"Everything Yaoqing said is about worrying about the country and the people, but Chen even thought that empty talk can only ruin the country, and only by doing practical things can we prosper the country."

Yuan Huan was obviously stunned, and even Chen Qun and Guo Jia raised their heads.

I heard Chen Fei say:

"The State of Chen is a great country in the Central Plains, with more than one million people. The people have always been rich. King Chen is brave and powerful, and Chen Xiangming. Whether it is the Yellow Turban Rebellion or Dong Zhuo's chaos in politics, they have not been affected too much, so that the surrounding counties and counties are rushing to rely on each other, and their household registration has increased instead of reducing. They once had 100,000 troops, but so?"

Of course, Yuan Huan could not deny the glorious achievements of Liu Chong and Luo Jun:

“That’s exactly that.”

Chen Fei seemed to want to laugh, but he didn't laugh:

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the princes of Shandong made an appointment with hundreds of thousands of troops to fight together. At that time, King Chen was strong, but in the end, Chen's family did not cross the border and watched Dong Zhuo fight with the princes, but that's the case?"

Yuan Huan did not deny it, but his voice was lowered three times:

"yes."

Chen Fei said again:

"It has been four years since the beginning of the Pacification. The situation in the Central Plains has long been decayed, and countless prefectures and counties have attacked each other. Just as Yaoqing said just now, countless people left their hometowns due to war, abandoned their wives and children, and changed their children to eat. However, King Chen held a strong army in his hand, but he just defended the land of a country, watching the wars in the world and starved to the whole world!"

Yuan Huan defended:

"King Chen is not indifferent, and has also distributed food many times to help surrounding refugees..."

Chen Fei put away his slightly immersed mood and said slowly:

"Yaoqing is wrong. I am not accusing King Chen. I just want to say that if the world is peaceful, King Chen is of course a benevolent, righteous, loyal and brave king, but today there has been a great chaos. If a royal prince does not take saving the world as his responsibility, but traps a country, he will eventually become a ghost under the sword of others."

Yuan Huan was speechless.

Chen Fei waved his hand:

"I saw Yaoqing's talent today, and some of the words were not appropriate, but they were all thoughts by Chen. Yaoqing should report to King Chen according to the truth, so there is no need to cover up and avoid taboos for me."

In this era, local officials are sometimes like monarchs and parents. If you meet a bad temper and dare to criticize their monarchs and fathers, you can draw your sword and assassinate you in minutes.

Yuan Huan bowed:
