Chapter 86

Yang Dingnai is a veteran general of Xizhou, half his life as a soldier, he also quelled the yellow turban moth bandits for the country and resisted Liangzhou's rebellion when he was Emperor Ling. Unfortunately, following Dong Zhuo, he was forced to be involved in the vortex of the times, and in the end he was notorious and died an untimely death.

Yang Ding is not the first person who underestimated Liu Biao and thus ended up in such a miserable end. Although Liu Biao has no talent for dominance, he is not a master of chaos, he can be called a self-defense thief.However, being able to firmly hold on to the foundation is not a skill?

In terms of fighting against foreign enemies, Liu Biao can be said to have made outstanding achievements. He took Yuan Shu to the west, shot tribute to Wudang, suppressed Sun Jian in the south of Han, chased Yang Ding to analyze business, and after that, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncles and nephews all died and surrendered. The ending, almost never a good one.

Even if he faced Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Sun Quan and other worldly heroes in the future, his foundation would never waver.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you retreat quickly!" Several officials wearing red headbands and holding big halberds shouted at the surrounding crowd, "If you dare to approach again, you will be severely punished!"

The crowd of onlookers has affected the progress of the team, and if they get too close, it is easy to cause chaos. If any prisoner takes the opportunity to escape, they, the officials in charge of escort, will be held accountable.

The people were still quite afraid of the shining swords and halberds in the hands of the officials, but they didn't want to leave. They only retreated a little, and still followed closely.

The officials didn't say anything more when they saw this, it was obvious that they had been used to such scenes for a long time.

"Leiyang..." Liu Jing took one last look at the defeated Xiliang remnants of less than 300 soldiers, rode on a red steed, and sped away.

Perhaps, they will have a chance to meet again in the future...

The premise is that they can live until that time, Tieguan is not a good place to stay.

…………

Since the beginning of winter, the number of tourists in the city has decreased sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye. Pedestrians are sparsely populated, and everything is depressed. It is so deserted.

Cai Sheng walked in the city, wearing a tidy crown and belt, and a snow-white fox fur coat. Liu Jing knew that he was very serious about wearing clothes and liked beautiful clothes and beautiful crowns. When winter came, he gave him a fur coat to keep out the cold.

Cai Sheng accepted it readily, and was not at all polite to Liu Jing. Since the two met, he has received countless favors from Liu Jing, and this one is not bad.He has full confidence in himself, there will always be a time when Liu Jing needs him in the future, and then he will do his best and spare no expense, just like he did when he dealt with Ou Xiong.

Cai Sheng walked all the way to the Taoguan cake stand, and saw his short body less than five feet huddled behind the cake stand, wearing only a rather worn-out black and brown kapok clothes, shivering in the rain and snow, Cai Sheng asked Said: "Short slave, why don't you close the stall? Haven't you sold out the pancakes yet?"

Seeing Cai Sheng's arrival, Tao Guan's funny face immediately beamed with joy. He cupped his hands in front of his mouth and breathed out to keep warm, and replied, "Hurry up, there are still four or five Hubing biscuits left. When they are sold out, we will close the stall."

As soon as Tao Guan exposed his hands, Cai Sheng immediately found that his hands had many chilblains, which were very swollen, walked over and grabbed his hands, frowned and said, "Short slave, you have sores on your hands. "

"It was born last year." Tao Guan said with a smile, "It's okay, we'll see you next year."

Cai Sheng was silent for a long time, Tao Guan sold cakes, he could sell a hundred dollars a day at least, and he could sell two hundred dollars a day, and his monthly income was thousands of dollars.

If he lived alone, he would be able to live comfortably without worrying about food and clothing. Unfortunately, his parents were not loving, his brothers were not fraternal, and the whole family died in childbirth, so they all depended on him to live alone.As a result, he earned a lot of money, but he couldn't even afford a winter coat to keep out the cold, and he had frostbite on his hands, so he was not willing to buy medicine to treat it.

Of course, Cai Sheng believed that he was also partly responsible. He hadn't cared much about Tao Guan borrowing money to gamble before.

But Cai Sheng would not have such an idea, as a friend, he should have protected Tao Guan, how could the two be confused?

"In this kind of weather, who would go out to buy cakes? Don't sell them. I'll invite you to drink at Zuixiangju. If we don't get drunk today, we won't return." Cai Sheng said, while moving the cake cage down to the office.

Zuixiangju is a new wine shop opened in September in the city. Most of the wine shops now only hang a wine bottle as a sign in front of the restaurant, but Zuixiangju uses wood as a signboard, engraved with the three characters "Zuixiangju", hanging Yu Menliang.

At the beginning, everyone laughed at it. Most of the people in the city are vulgar people. How many people can read?

However, after drinking the drunk wine, everyone's attitudes turned 180 degrees, and they all praised this move. How could such a unparalleled wine come from an unknown place?

"Okay." Tao Guan hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and the two of them hadn't had a drink together for a while.

The two put their things into the mansion, and then went to the Zuixiangju in the west of the city.

Today, there are two most lively places in the west of the city, one is of course Zuixiangju, and the other is Changleju, which is a place for gambling games. open.

Someone once joked: "The people in the city live half in the drunken countryside and half in Changle."

Cai Sheng is a man who likes to play games, but since the time he cut his neck, Zhu A runs Changle House, he can take all the money he wins, and he doesn’t have to pay back the losses. Gradually, the more he plays, the more boring he feels. Now it’s almost eight days. Days have never been there.He really doubted whether he would give up gambling after a while.

"Cai Jun..." As soon as Cai Sheng and Tao Guan arrived at Drunk Village, a servant ran out to greet them warmly.

Cai Sheng nodded slightly, and asked with a smile: "Is there any position now?"

The maid laughed and said, "What is Mr. Cai saying? It's hard to say whether others have a place, but Mr. Cai must have a place when he comes."

Cai Sheng laughed out loud when he heard the words, and suddenly felt his face swelled. When he stepped into the threshold, he saw that the rather open hall was full of drinkers. After a rough calculation, there might be no less than 40 to [-] people. This is only the first floor. There are not a few guests on the second floor.

Tao Guan hid behind Cai Sheng, looked around, and found that almost all the drinkers in the hall were armed with swords and knives. Although the people of Jingchu were tough and practiced swords well, the proportion was still too high. They're all rangers.

"Cai Jun..." Tao Guan's guess was right, most of the drinkers were knight-errants, and with Cai Sheng's arrival, no matter whether they were drunk or not, they all stopped their glasses of wine, got up and greeted Cai Sheng.

Cai Sheng used to enjoy high prestige among rangers and villains because of his superb swordsmanship, and later he helped Liu Jing capture Ou Sheng and Ou Xiong, pushing his own prestige to the peak.

Cai Sheng and the drinkers in the hall cupped fists to salute one by one, and exchanged greetings with familiar ones, and then he and Tao Guan were led up to the second floor by the maid.
