Zhang Yan never dreamed that he and Zang Ba met by chance on the street, and the two could hit it off at first sight.

Zang Ba is bold and bold, which left a deep impression on Zhang Yan, this friend, he has made a deal.

The wine and food were served one after another, and Zang Ba glanced at the wine lord on the table, and pouted: "How can such a small wine utensil be enjoyable?" Change to a big bowl! ”

The guy at the wine store quickly replaced Zang Ba with two large bowls, Zang Ba picked up a jar of wine, and once he opened it, he directly poured the two large bowls to the brim.

Zang Ba put down the wine jar, picked up two bowls of wine, handed one of the bowls directly to Zhang Yan, and said loudly: "Brother Zhang, it is really rare for us to meet here, and we will not return home if we are not drunk today." Come, I'll fill this bowl first! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zang Ba brought the wine bowl to his mouth, tilted his neck, and drank the bowl of wine with a bang.

Zhang Yan took the wine bowl and saw Zang Ba drinking so much, and immediately praised: "General Zang has a lot of it, since General Zang has already drunk, then I have nothing to say, although I can't drink enough, but I met General Zang today, and I saw it again, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman today!" Dry! ”

After speaking, Zhang Yan picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

"Haha...... Here, another bowl! Zang Ba was full of joy, and poured wine for Zhang Yan with a wine jar.

The two of them drank three bowls in a row, and a jar of wine was gone. Zang Ba drank a lot of alcohol, and ordinary people couldn't cope with it, so he was even happier when he saw that Zhang Yan didn't even drink three bowls and didn't have anything to do.

As the so-called wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, Zang Ba gave an order, and asked the wine shop guys to send two large jars of wine, and directly gave one of the jars to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan immediately understood what Zang Ba meant, this time, he no longer used the bowl, held a jar of wine, and as soon as he opened the seal, he smiled and said to Zang Ba: "General Zang, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, today we will have a good drink, and Zhang will do it first as a respect!" ”

He picked up the jar of wine and poured it into his mouth without the slightest pause, as if his mouth was not a mouth, but a jar of wine that was not filled.

Seeing this, Zang Ba was both surprised and delighted. To his astonishment, he had never seen anyone drink so much. Happily, from now on, there will be no need to worry about drinking without one to accompany you!

After a while, Zhang Yan drank the entire jar of wine.

"Good amount of alcohol!" Zang Ba hahadaxiao, at the same time, picked up a jar of wine in front of him, and also began to pour it into his mouth, only a moment of effort, the whole jar of wine to the bottom.

The two of them drank so heavily that it instantly attracted the onlookers of other people in the entire wine shop, none of whom had ever seen this way of drinking.

Zang Ba himself was even happier, he hadn't competed with others for a long time. In addition to being excited, Zang Ba asked the restaurant for two jars of wine, ready to compete with Zhang Yan again.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "General Zang, let's drink here today, I still have some things to handle, in case I get drunk, I'm afraid it will delay things." Why don't we drink it another day? ”

Although Zang Ba is in Xingtou, he is also a reasonable person, and when he heard Zhang Yan say this, he said: "Brother Zhang, if there is something serious, just hurry up and do it, you can drink whenever you drink, but if you delay Brother Zhang's business, it will be Zang's sin." By the way, I don't know what Brother Zhang is going to do? In Tancheng, Zang Mou also has a lot of friends, and he may be able to help one or two from it. ”

Zhang Yan is distressed that he can't find out about Chen Qi, Zang Ba has been in Tancheng longer than him, and he may know some news about Chen Qi.

He sighed first, and then said: "Zhang came to Tancheng for the first time, and he is not familiar with the place, if he can get the help of Brother Zang, he really can't ask for it." I don't know if Brother Zang ever knew Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong, the captain of Diannong? ”

"Chen Yuanlong is Tao Yuanjun's right-hand man, I have been in Xuzhou for many years, how can I not know him? Brother Zhang, isn't this matter related to Chen Yuanlong? Zang Ba has always been vigilant, and guessed instantly.

Zhang Yan nodded and asked, "Since Brother Zang has been an official in Xuzhou for many years, he must be no stranger to Chen Deng's affairs, I want to inquire about the father-son relationship between Chen Deng and Chen Qi?" ”

After hearing this, Zang Ba took a sip of wine first, and then said slowly: "It's not a secret, the relationship between Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son is not very good......

"Oh? Can you please elaborate on Brother Zang? ”

Zang Ba nodded and began to describe the relationship between Chen Deng's father and son in detail.

According to Zang Ba, the father-son relationship between Chen Qi and Chen Deng has always been very good, the father is kind and filial, and the family is happy. Chen Deng is a famous filial son, who was once held up as filial piety.

In addition to Chen Deng's son, Chen Qi also has two sons, the second son is called Chen Ying, and the third son is called Chen Da. The Chen family is a scholarly family, the ancestors have been officials for generations, and in Chen Deng's generation, Chen Deng became a pawn farmer school captain, and Chen Ying also became a captain, but the third son Chen Da is an exception.

The third son, Chen Da, has not liked to read since he was a child, he is good at dancing with guns and sticks, and he also likes to cause trouble.

Chen Deng then took on the responsibility of personally educating this naughty younger brother, he taught Chen Da to read, Chen Da taught him to ride and shoot, and the two brothers were intimate.

Later, Xuzhou encountered the Yellow Turban Army, Tao Qian recruited soldiers, Chen Da recruited with his bravery, followed Tao Qian to crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves, expelled the Yellow Turban Army from Xuzhou, and made many achievements in the battle. Tao Qian then asked him to be the county commander in Dongwu County, Langya State, responsible for defending the Yellow Turban Army in the Qingzhou area.

Who knows, the day after Chen Da took office, he was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army in Dongwu County. At that time, Chen Dengtun's troops were in Zhuxian County, responsible for defending grain and grass, and it was the closest to Dongwu County, Chen Da sent people to Zhuxian for help, how could Chen Deng not be in a hurry?

But at that time, Tao Qian and Zang Ba led the army into Qingzhou, and were fighting with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and the counties defended by Chen Deng were places where grain and grass were hoarded, once he left easily, he was afraid that the counties would be attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, in case the grain and grass were robbed, then Tao Qian, Zang Ba and others would fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, and it was very likely that the whole army would be wiped out.

Chen Deng focused on the overall situation, so he did not move, and wrote a letter to tell Chen Da to let him hold the city and not open the city gate to fight the Yellow Turban Army no matter what, and stated in the letter that in three days, he would personally lead the reinforcements to kill.

Chen Da got the letter and led the soldiers in the city to fight a bloody battle with the Yellow Turban Army for three days, but after three days, he still did not see Chen Deng leading the army to come, and the city had already run out of food, so Chen Da gathered all the soldiers and fought with him to fight out of the siege and go to the counties.

But as soon as Chen Da and the others left the city, they fell into the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army, and were finally captured because they were outnumbered.

The Yellow Turban Army then tied up Chen Da and went to the counties, threatening Chen Deng to open the city gate and surrender to the Yellow Turban Army. Chen Deng felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw his brother being captured, but he did not surrender, but shot Chen Da with his own hands, so as to show his concern.

The soldiers in the city were so fiercely attacked, opened the city gate, and fought a bloody battle with the Yellow Turban Army, just as Tao Qian led the army back, and Chen Dengli should cooperate with the outside to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army.

After the war, Chen Deng buried Chen Da with his own hands and sent someone to inform his family.

After Chen Jue got the news, he was grief-stricken, and heard that Chen Deng shot Chen Da with his own hands, and hated Chen Deng even more, and the relationship between father and son plummeted from then on.

After Zhang Yan heard this story, he was also melancholy in his heart, and then he realized that Weishenme Mizhen would remind herself not to mention Chen Deng in front of Chen Qi. But if Chen Deng is not mentioned, how should his letter be handed over to Chen Qi?

"Thank you, Brother Zang, for telling me this story......"

"There's nothing to thank you for. Brother Zhang, it's so polite. ”

Afterwards, the two of them chatted for a while, chatting while eating. Zang Ba wanted to settle the bill, but Zhang Yan took the lead, Zang Ba felt a little embarrassed, so he invited Zhang Yan to the barracks for a drink at night.

After the two agreed, Zhang Yan and Zang Ba separated. At this time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had made an appointment with Xu Sheng at noon, but now he had missed the time, so he hurried to the agreed place and saw Xu Sheng leaning against the wall and waiting patiently.

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!" Zhang Yan walked up to Xu Sheng and said embarrassedly.

Xu Sheng said: "The master doesn't need to daoqian, I just arrived." It's just that I didn't inquire about Chen Jue at all, and I asked the master to forgive me! ”

"It's nothing, I'll just ask."

Xu Sheng asked, "Then are we going to visit Chen Jue's mansion again now?" ”

"There's no need to visit, I just need to hand over this letter to Chen Jue, you wait for me here, I'll go back!"

After speaking, Zhang Yan walked straight towards Chen Jue's residence, and when he arrived at the door of Chen Jue's residence, he saw that there was no one around, so he jumped directly over the wall and jumped into the courtyard, and then went straight to the hall, and bowed respectfully in front of the door of the hall and said: "Zhang Yan, the minister of Pengcheng and the captain of the Wuwei school, is entrusted by Chen Deng, the captain of the agricultural school, to send a letter to the old man Chen!" ”

Not long after the voice fell, the old man who was faltering and senile opened the door from the inside, looked at Zhang Yan first, and then asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Zhang Yan repeated aloud again: "Zhang Yan, the minister of Pengcheng and the captain of Wuwei, was entrusted by Chen Deng, the captain of the agricultural school, to send a letter to Mr. Chen!" ”

The old man spread a withered hand on his chest and said to Zhang Yan: "Bring me the family letter!" ”

"I'm very sorry, Brother Yuanlong once said in advance, this letter must be handed over to Mr. Chen in person, if I don't see Mr. Chen, I will never hand over the letter to anyone."

"I'm Chen Jue!" The old man's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful.

After Zhang Yan heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "It turned out to be Old Monk Chen, Zhang Yan is disrespectful!" ”

"There is no need to say high-sounding words, where is the family letter?"

Zhang Yan then took out a letter from his arms and handed it directly to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi took the letter and immediately opened it, but saw that there was a blank piece of paper in the letter, and there was not even a word written on the paper.

Zhang Yan saw it and wondered in his heart: "There is not a word, what kind of family letter is this?" ”
