647 Another Skillful Hand

When talking about the past solo, admiration arises naturally.

What he said just now, "Gong was Sima, defeated Cheshi... and surrendered to the juice... and the clear spring suddenly simmered..." and other words were to describe Geng Gong's wonderful legendary life. The general meaning was that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Geng Gong defeated Cheshi Kingdom in the first battle and included Cheshi in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he was appointed as the Wuji School Captain. Later, the Han Dynasty reset the Protectorate in the Western Regions. The Northern Xiongnu sent heavy troops to attack Cheshi. Geng Gong was trapped but refused to surrender. There was a shortage of water in the city. Geng Gong led his troops to dig fifteen feet but still did not come out of water. He had no choice but to drink water from horse manure to quench his thirst. However, there was no way out. After Geng Gong worshipped the sky, water emerged from the well to relieve everyone from the crisis. Everyone poured water on the city, making the Huns think that the Han army was helped by gods, so they retreated in disappointment.

However, Chen Mu, the Western Regions Protector, was immediately killed by the Northern Xiongnu. Guan Chong and Geng Gong, the Wuji Schoolmasters of Liu Zhongcheng, were surrounded at the same time. Geng Gong was in a desperate situation and still refused to surrender to the Huns.

While Geng Gong was struggling, Emperor Ming of Han died. The Central Plains was busy with national funerals and the incident of sending troops to rescue was stranded.

Although the Huns were cruel, they also respected heroes very much. They repeatedly attacked the city and surrendered Geng Gong, promising that as long as Geng Gong surrendered, they would naturally be prosperous and wealthy. Geng Gong pretended to let the envoy go to the city, but he killed the envoy and hung it on the city to show his determination. The Northern Huns Khan was furious, but he still had no choice but to Geng Gong. Although Geng Gong blocked the Xiongnu's siege, he and the soldiers finally had to make a living by cooking armor, bows and crossbows and eating animal tendons and leather on it.

The words "Self-flying surrenders will not surrender, kill the envoys to exile; the Huns besiege the city, and they will cook their skins after eating." This is what happened in the past.

Geng Gong led his men to endure this hard for a year, and the Han Dynasty was still discussing whether to send troops to rescue. At that time, the court opposed sending troops very loudly, which was an incredible thing in the eyes of many people. The content of the discussion was actually similar to the nature of saving the soldier Ryan, which was whether to sacrifice more people to save the people who were about to die?

At this time, Situ Bao Yu finally became famous in history with a few words. Geng Gong was for your Han Dynasty to fight against the Huns and run the Western Regions. People insisted so much that they were loyal and righteous to you. If the country abandoned these loyal and brave men, would you still want someone to work hard for your Han Dynasty in the future?

The Han Dynasty finally sent troops, but when the general arrived at Liuzhongcheng, he found that Guan Chong was dead and was ready to retreat. At this time, Fan Township's ancestor Fan Qiang appeared.

Fan Qiang was originally a military officer under Geng Gong. He was ordered to go to Dunhuang to collect soldiers' cold clothes. He seemed insignificant, but he always asked for help for Geng Gong. When he learned that the Han army was coming to help, he begged, saying that although Guan Chong was dead, Geng's lieutenant was still surrounded. How could you leave? What are you here for a trip?

The Han army was afraid of the Hun cavalry that came at any time, and no one dared to go. Fan Qiang couldn't help but get angry. After many begging to persist, he encouraged two thousand men to follow and finally rescued Geng Gong.

There was no earth-shaking battle and seemingly insignificant behavior, but when the whole country was wandering, Fan Qiang insisted on moving forward. After the historian learned about it, he couldn't help but record a record in the historical books.

Solo has never forgotten such heroic deeds, but most of the things he said are records in "Biography of Famous Generals", otherwise he would not have been able to make such neat words in a hurry.

"Biography of Famous Generals" selects famous generals from historical books to tell their deeds and comment on their merits and demerits. Fan Qiang's deeds are mentioned in the historian's record of Geng Gong's deeds, but such a conclusion has left Fan Qiang's reputation for a thousand years.

Solo Fei's words are concise, but every sentence speaks about the glorious past of Geng Gong and Fan Qiang. His evaluation of Fan Qiang, the ancestor of Fan Xiang, is also very pertinent. How can we not make Fan Xiang's heart stir?

"Brother Shan... I don't want anyone to remember the past of our ancestors. We thought..." Fan Xiang choked in his throat, and tears were already flashing in his eyes. What Solo Fei said may be insignificant to what others said, but for Fan Xiang, it was extremely touching to his heart.

"Please sit, please sit down." Fan Xiang said again.

Zhuzi and others were moved slightly. Since they met Fanxiang, they always felt that this was just a sarcastic old man. Even if they were hospitality camps, Fanxiang was still hot and cold. Zhuzi and others did not expect that they could call Fanxiang brothers by flying alone for a few words, and even let him sit down.

Solo was ashamed and hurriedly said, "Brother Fan is too polite. Since he is a brother, why bother to go up and down?"

Fan Xiang laughed and said, "Brother Shan is right. Since you are a brother, why should you call him a father-in-law?"

Shanfei smiled and said, "Brother Fan is talking very much."

But after changing his name, Fan Xiang was even more happy. Seeing that the servant had already put on the dishes, he scolded, "Loves, why don't you drink?"

Xiangsi was busy, looking towards Fan Xiang and others from time to time, and heard this, "Master Fan, you are sick. The doctor said that you can't drink too much. You have drunk a lot yesterday."

"No matter what the doctor is talking about!" Fan Xiang smiled and said, "He said that I could live a few more years without drinking, but when I met such a close brother, if I didn't drink a few more drinks, what would I do if I lived for a few more years?"

Everyone laughed in silence, and Daddy Ban laughed and said, "This is the old fan I know. It's good. The food is without wine, so there is much less fun. Come on the wine quickly."

Xiangsi frowned and left with a little displeasure, but she finally turned around with a wine jar and looked at Daddy Clan with some pleading.

Dad Ban patted the mud seal that opened the wine jar and sighed: "The longer you are homesick, the stronger you are. The only thing I miss most in Loulan is your homesick wine. You finally took it out, but Brother Shan and I have to drink a few more sips."

When he said this, he filled a third of Fanxiang’s wine bowl, and then filled a whole bowl for himself and solo.

The wine is fragrant and the whole house is fragrant.

Zhuzi and a few men couldn't help swallowing their saliva after they smelled it. Seeing this, Mr. Ban scolded: "This wine was made by Brother Fan for many years and is extremely precious. It's not something you can appreciate. Burning a knife is more suitable for you."

Seeing Zhuzi and others drooling, flying alone, he smiled and said, "I'm not good at drinking, so why don't we share a bowl with each other."

Zhuzi and others agreed repeatedly.

Fan Xiang laughed and said, "Brother Shan really underestimates Brother Yu. Brother Yu has no other ability. He can afford this wine. How about the old classmate, who fills a bowl with one person?"

Daddy Ban smiled and said, "Then you have to drink less."

Xiangsi smiled sweetly when she heard this, and looked at Daddy Ban gratefully.

Fan Xiang laughed and said, "Old classmate, you can even get tempted after a long time. It's really rare."

Dad Ban said, "It is not easy to take advantage of you, the money-guarding slave. Thanks to Brother Shan, you, the money-guarding slave, have restrained you."

As he spoke, he had already filled everyone with wine. Zhuzi and others drank it all, and they all said good wine.

He took a sip of the bowl alone, and saw Fan Xiang looking at him nervously. He knew that the old man was waiting for his evaluation. He finally said for a while: "I don't know how to taste wine, but I feel that the wine is clear and mellow and slightly smoky in the mouth. It is like Han E in ancient times, which makes people feel endless aftertaste. It is really a rare wine."

Fan Xiang laughed and said, "Brother Shan is really a modest person. Your evaluation is very much in the wine channel. It is much better than a bull drinker like Zhuzi. If you don't know how to taste wine, then there are really few people in the world who can drink wine. Drinking is a fraternity, and the wine is fragrant and affectionate. Now that both are ready, my foolish brother will inevitably have to drink two more sips."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, but when he drank halfway, his brows frowned slightly, which was very painful.

"Master Fan!" Xiangsi was always very nervous. Seeing this, she didn't care about etiquette and grabbed the wine bowl from Fan Xiang's hand.

Fan Xiang's face was slightly blue, but it was not because of the obstruction of lovesickness. He tried his best to swallow the wine in his mouth, and endured the pain and smiled: "This girl just likes to make a big deal, come on... eat vegetables."

He was about to lift the chopsticks while he spoke, but his right hand was already trembling.

Daddy Ban finally realized the problem and said anxiously: "Lao Fan, your illness is much more serious?"

"Who said no?" Xiang Si said anxiously: "Master Fan won't let me wait..."

"Lovesickness!" Fan Xiang shouted sternly.

There were tears in Xiangsi's eyes, and seeing Fan Xiang coughing and wavering his hands repeatedly, he finally held back and said nothing.

Tianfei frowned slightly and said slowly: "Geng Gong is in charge of justice, Fan Qiang is loyal. Brother Fan must have learned the legacy of his ancestors and knew that we had something to ask for, so he endured the pain and said nothing."

Xiang Si Ran looked solo, but she really didn't know how this young man had such understanding thoughts, and she revealed Fan Ye's thoughts in one word.

Fan Xiang was also surprised and could even smile and said, "Brother Shan is really arrogant to Brother Yu. Brother Yu just wants to take the opportunity to drink a few more sips."

"Old Fan, you really don't treat us as brothers." Old Man Ban said excitedly: "Why don't you say it directly because your condition has worsened? How... How..." He could rely on Fan Township in Loulan City, and he made a coincidence with Princess Loulan and others from the caravan, and was also sent by Fan Township to help. He knew that the current crisis was everywhere, and he also understood that only such brothers would help him now. He contacted Fan Township as soon as he arrived in Loulan. He knew that Fan Township had serious leg disease and could not get up recently, but he thought that alcohol could activate blood circulation, it would be okay, but he did not expect that Fan Township had reached such a serious point.

My heart was in agitation, and Dad Ban couldn't speak anymore. He knew that what he said was right, and Fan Xiang didn't want him to worry, so he pretended to be calm.

Shanfei sighed: "Boss Ban said it well. Brother Fan really doesn't think that I am a brother. If you want to drink a few more sips, you must let your brother find a way!"

What?

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and Xiangsi was even more puzzled why this young man said such words.

Fan Xiang saw the warmth in Shanfei's eyes and smiled bitterly: "Yes, I don't know what Brother Shan has? I thought it would be fine to drink some, but I didn't expect that I had a severe headache now and I wanted to cut off my head. If you don't cut your head, there are other ways to let Brother Yu drink a few more sips of the wine from Brother Yu's house. "

He is naturally a joke. Regardless of whether he helps alone or not, based on the young man's evaluation of his ancestors and his helper to Ban's, Fan Xiang has already regarded himself as a brother.

It is a brother, so he pretends to be calm and laughs, hoping to have some help. It is a brother, so he does not have too much expectations for solo. Brother helping is a favor, and brothers don’t help, but brothers will also be troubled by brothers.

Brothers are used to understand, but never to use.

Shanfei smiled and said, "A word is certain. If I think of a way, Brother Fan should not be reluctant to give up the good wine." While he was chatting and laughing, his three fingers of his right hand were already placed on Fan Xiang's wrist.

Everyone was surprised, and the pretty eyes of lovesickness flashed with unbelievable feelings.
