Chapter Seventy-Five: Cooking Wine on English

Boiled wine green plum times tasted, the warbler milk swallow accounted for the year. -------Surname. Lu You "Early Summer Idleness"

It is said that Chen Long listened to Han Fu's words, and knew that Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang had been defeated, and their lives were probably not guaranteed, and the destruction of the yellow scarf was imminent. Zhang Ning, who pretended to be a pro-soldier behind him, almost fainted to the ground, his face was pale, thanks to Zhou Bu's quick sight of the opportunity, he led his pro-soldiers to the barracks with Zhang Ning in his arms, so as not to show his stuffing.

Chen Long was worried, and instructed Lu Chang to go to Guangzong to find out the truth and make preparations as soon as possible. After Lu Chang went, Chen Long was restless, and arrived at Hongruzhuang for Han Fu's dinner early, and saw that the village was full of flowers, trees, and small bridges and flowing water, which was very exquisite, and he couldn't help but understand a little. The owner of the village personally greeted him and accompanied Chen Long to the Xuan Hall, and met two heroes outside the Xuan Hall, who were Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide, who were famous for thousands of years.

Chen Long, like most of the later generations, was deeply influenced by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and couldn't help but be enthusiastic, excited, soft, and tearful, and blurted out and asked: "Where is Xuan Dejun?!" ”

Guan Yu still looked at the world with a light and breezy appearance, Zhang Feihu glanced at Chen Long suspiciously, and asked, "This brother, how do you know my eldest brother?" Dare to ask who's name? Sure enough, it sounded like thunder.

Chen Long shook his head vigorously, suppressed the fluctuating heart, and bowed his hand: "I have not only heard of your eldest brother's name, but also heard of Taoyuan Yuyi. You don't know me, but I know you, and the names of Yun Chang and Yide are also like thunder. Under Chen Long, the word Wenlong, is the boss of the eradication of the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao. ”

This time, even Guan Yu was a little puzzled, and when he heard that the opposite side was the new commander of the imperial court, he couldn't help but salute: "It turned out to be General Chen, disrespectful and disrespectful." Our three brothers Taoyuan are righteous and want to serve the Han, but they are the first brothers on the battlefield, I don't know how to know our names? ”

Long Chen finally calmed down, and faced the loyal and righteous Second Master Guan, smiled slightly, showed his snow-white teeth and said, "I also know that Yun Chang is good at cold and sharp saws, and Yide is good at snake spear guns. Both of them are divine soldiers, and if they have a soul, they will choose their own masters, so that they can play the limit of divine weapons. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that he was speaking inscrutablely, as if they knew everything about it. Chen Long continued: "My life's ambition is to make friends with heroes in the world, how could I miss the names of the two? ”

Chen Long avoided the important in a few words, and it was difficult to solve the doubts in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hearts, and they were about to ask, when suddenly the curtain of the Xuan Hall was raised, and a young man dressed as a scribe walked out, with thin eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, a face like a crown of jade, lips like grease, and his eyes could look at his ears, the most obvious was the pair of big ears, and the earlobes were about to hang down to his shoulders. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei respectfully arched their hands and shouted in unison: "Big brother! ”

In Chen Long's heart, he was very jealous for a while, thinking to himself about how the two big bodyguards of Hong Kong and Hong Kong could let Liu Bei, a kid, get their hands on it. Liu Bei has great ambitions, I am afraid that he will not succumb to himself, and in the official history, he has also defected to Liu Yan, Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, and even Lu Bu, but he was abandoned by what he should abandon, the territory that should be occupied, and the elimination that should be eliminated. The so-called hero, maybe it is to be so resolute? If you want to subdue Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

Chen Long was thinking about whether to invite Liu Bei to Lingling as an official, although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei spit on their greed, but they always felt that they were suspected of luring wolves into the room. I'm afraid that Liu Bei will be capricious and beyond his control.

Liu Bei looked at Chen Long while listening to Guan Yu's introduction, and knew that the opposite side was the commander of the 100,000 male soldiers of the imperial court, and he couldn't help but be in awe. Seeing that Chen Long seemed to be a wandering object, he thought that he didn't see him come out, so he respectfully bowed his hand and said with an extremely sincere attitude: "Liu Bei, the grass people, the word Xuande, is after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, these two are my sworn brothers, Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei Zhang Yide, today our brothers can see General Chen, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”

Chen Long woke up from his obscenity, knowing that Liu Bei often talked about the queen of Zhongshan Jingwang, and saw Guan Yu's lying silkworm eyebrows raised slightly, and hurriedly replied: "Long admiration!" Brother Xuande is the king of Zhongshan, after the king, he is the royal branch and leaf, how can the grass people say? It's disrespectful. "After that, I gave my hand again and again, and I was very affectionate. Seeing that Guan Yu's lying silkworm eyebrows returned to their original state, Danfeng's eyes slowly narrowed, and then he put his mind at ease, I was really afraid that he would kill people if he didn't agree with him.

Liu Bei still looked humble, and said slowly: "My third brother originally wanted to recruit righteous servants to resist the Yellow Turban, but only the third brother had some family business, and only a few hundred strong men were recruited to accompany him. The general is in a high position in the court and has 100,000 male soldiers, how dare Xuande compare with the general! He was very envious, jealous, and hateful.

Chen Long hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's just a coincidence that I can hold the male soldiers, and my talent is really inferior to Xuande." It's your two righteous brothers, both of whom are all-rounders in civil and military affairs, where can you find them in the world? I can't compare. I thought in my heart, fortunately, I was strong against Zhao Yun first, otherwise Zhao Yun would have let you sleep with you, and you would have to regret your death. couldn't help but feel slightly proud, although he had never met Liu Bei, but with thousands of years of knowledge, he had already beaten Liu Bei 1:0.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that although Chen Long was in a high position, his words were very polite, and their favorability gradually increased. The fat owner next to him saw that the two were endlessly praising each other, and he couldn't stand it a little, so he waved his hand and made a gesture of please, and said haha: "The hall has brewed good tea, how about inviting the two of you to go in and talk?" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hand to ask Chen Long to go first, but Chen Long refused to live or die, and wanted to invite Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to enter the hall to drink tea together. Liu Bei was quite thick-skinned, grabbed Chen Long's hand, and walked into the Xuan Hall together. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still guarding the door outside the hall, and they privately talked about Chen Long's appearance and figure.

Seeing the two of them seated, the owner of the village poured two cups of fragrant tea for them with his own hands, and said goodbye: "The two of you will chat first, and go down to greet Lord Han." Long Chen stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Xuande and Xuande hit it off at first sight, how can there be no wine?" The owner of the village can have a little wine, I am not good at cold drinks, boil a little pot, I drink and talk with Brother Xuande. ”

The owner of the village was surprised, but immediately asked his subordinates to take a pot of wine, and ordered it to be heated in the small tandoor outside the Xuan Hall. Jean took a few cold dishes, hurried to the village gate, and waited to greet Han Fu.

It turned out that Chen Long remembered the allusion of Cao Cao and Liu Bei cooking wine and talking about heroes, and admired it very much. The wine has been boiled, the heat is slowly steaming, the next person poured the hot wine, Chen Long raised his glass and said: "Brother Xuande, I fell in love with you at first sight, please drink this cup." "Drink it all.

Liu Bei hurriedly drank it all with his neck up, Chen Long poured two glasses of wine in a row, and personally handed them to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei outside the Xuan, and said: "Let the two heroes wait outside, how embarrassing, please drink a glass of wine to quench your thirst." Guan Yufeng's eyes widened slightly, raised his glass and drank slightly, Zhang Fei took it, but he drank it all.

Chen Long returned to the Xuan Hall, poured Liu Bei's cup full of wine repeatedly, looked at the gradually gloomy sky outside the window, and asked, "Brother Xuande, you have been in Jizhou for a long time, do you know who those yellow scarves are?" ”

Liu Bei replied: "It's nothing more than some displaced people, who are displaced, hungry, and bewitched by thieves. ”

Chen Long asked again: "However, the Han Dynasty ruled for hundreds of years, how could there be so many people who lost their places and could not eat?" ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this: "This ...... Think it's caused by officials at all levels above the court, vying for power and profit, and perverting the law for bribes? ”

When Liu Bei saw that Chen Long met for the first time, he actually asked a sensitive question, and simply answered with a question. Chen Long smiled and said: "Since officials at all levels are corrupt and bent the law, how should they be governed?" ”

Liu Bei raised his glass to toast, hiding his embarrassment, and said: "General Chen, the villain is just a cloth cloth and grass people, how do you know how to govern it." The Son of Heaven is wise, and he will naturally set things right. ”

Seeing Liu Bei's flickering words, Chen Long asked more sharply: "In Xuande's heart, but he is pretending to be the people of the world?" ”

Liu Bei's hand shaking his glass slightly, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked rhetorically: "I heard that General Chen is the Taishou of Lingling, and the homeless people have defected one after another, and they all say that they are too guarded. General Chen must have a plan to treat the people well? ”

Seeing Liu Bei fighting back, Chen Long was a little indignant in his heart, and said with a smile: "I just do things with my conscience, how can I have any mature plan." But it is a fact that the displaced people came to vote, and I arranged for them to reclaim the wasteland and provide for themselves, so that as long as the people can make a living, they will live in peace. But I'm a little Lingling, and I really don't fall into the eyes of Xuande. ”

After that, he put the wine glass on the table and said: "Xuande, you just said that the saint is virtuous, why can the position of the three princes and nine kings be bought and sold at will?" Why are there villains around the saint? ”

Liu Beiqiang pretended to be calm, and the hand that put down the wine glass trembled slightly: "The villain is good at drilling, but he makes honest people suffer." However, the emperor is also assisted by famous generals such as Huangfu Song, and he has won battles and victories, and he can be regarded as knowing people and making good use of them. ”

Chen Longdao: "General Lu Zhi is Xuande's teacher, more famous than Huangfu Song, but because he didn't pay bribes, he was framed, and he is still in prison, but why is no one to rescue him?" ”

Liu Bei was speechless when he heard this, so he had to be silent, unable to explain it anymore. Picking up a piece of cucumber with a chopstick, he was about to stuff it into his mouth, only to hear Chen Long say: "Xuande, you and I should raise our arms and shout, order the world's heroes, sweep away the corrupt officials in the court, and coerce the power of the world, so as to admonish the Son of Heaven and return the people to a peaceful world, how about it?" ”

Liu Bei was taken aback, the hand holding the cucumber shook, the chopsticks fell to the ground, just when the sky remembered a thunderbolt, Liu Bei calmly picked up the chopsticks and said: "The power of a shock, even this." ”

Long Chen smiled: "The eldest husband is also afraid of thunder? ”

Liu Bei also smiled: "Sage Kong is afraid of thunder, let alone me?" ”

After the thunder, the rainstorm fell, Chen Long remembered that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still outside the door, and hurriedly went to invite them in person, and saw that the two of them were still standing like javelins in the wind and rain, and couldn't help but praise secretly. When the two saw that Chen Long ignored the wind and rain and came to invite him in person, they were also moved in their hearts, so they obeyed the order and stood under the eaves to take shelter from the rain.

Chen Long returned to the hall, swept the raindrops on his body and said, "Xuande, why don't you invite the two virtuous brothers to come in and drink?" ”

Liu Bei didn't answer, and suddenly asked, "Brother Wenlong, you just talked about commanding the world's heroes. You have a dragon in your name, and the dragon is a thing, comparable to the hero of the world. And what is that hero? Who is a hero in the world? ”

Chen Long was stunned for a moment when he heard this, isn't this what Cao Cao asked Liu Bei, thought for a while, and said: "Some people say that those who are heroes have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to contain the universe, and have the ambition to swallow heaven and earth." However, I think that a man who is a hero, who should think of the people of the world, and who holds a referendum politically, and who does not have the slightest self-interest, can be called a hero. ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was a little stunned, he continued: "As for who is the hero in the world, today Xuande and I have our own candidates in our hearts, I'm afraid no one can convince anyone, so we have to wait and see." If we have the opportunity in the future, how about we cook wine and talk about the heroes of the world? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a disturbance in the sound of rain outside the door, but it was the owner of the village who sent Han Fu into the hall with an oil umbrella. The two hurriedly stood up to greet them, and after the greetings were over, Han Fu ordered to prepare food.

Chen Long said to Han Fu: "Lord Han, outside the door are Liu Bei's two virtuous brothers, why don't you invite them in together?" Han Fu gave Chen Long face, and hurriedly moved two coffee tables and let the two of them sit down. During the banquet, when it came to breaking the Yellow Turban's tactics, Han Fu's eyebrows danced, completely forgetting that the Yellow Turban had been crisscrossing Jizhou for several months, and he had not been able to eradicate it.

When the wine was half-drunk, Guan Yu suddenly raised his glass to Chen Long to toast, Wenlong was flattered and drank it all. Guan Yu's voice came in a low voice: "I am familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period, and I also know etiquette and righteousness. Just now outdoors, I heard the general's words about the people, and Yu was taught. After saying that, he turned around and walked back, Chen Long opened his mouth when he heard this, and his handsome eyes swept away Liu Bei, who was drinking with Han Fu, Liu Bei hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to drink, and his annoyed eyes flashed.

Finally dispersed, Chen Long hesitated for a long time, but still did not invite Liu Bei to the military camp to participate in the extermination of the Yellow Turban. This time to exterminate Zhang Jiao is just a joke, and the fewer smart people you see, the better. Besides, before Liu Bei rises, he has to be displaced for many years, and how he treats him still needs to listen to Guo Jia and Zhou Budo's opinions. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, now loyal to their eldest brother Liu Bei, may be unswerving all their lives, and it is not suitable to recruit now, even if they are recruited, they can only touch a nose. As for whether he will become an opponent, he has to resign himself to fate.

A few people said goodbye, Chen Long beat the horse, and led the people straight to the camp in the east of Yecheng. Zhang Ning must still be looking forward to himself, and he has to comfort his beloved wife tonight.

The rain has passed, the air is fresh, the horses are galloping, and the night is heavy. In Chen Long's heart, he sighed that Zhang Liang didn't listen to Zhang Jiao's arrangement, and Zhang Bao had no choice but to accompany him to death. The second uncle Zhang Bao is accustomed to fighting, has a bold personality, and has always liked to joke with himself, but he ended up in a different place and couldn't wait for his return. In the dark night, Chen Longjun's face couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
