Kingdom of Heaven and Han

The weather in Wubaozhai in October, the sun sets early.A ray of afterglow spreads in the western sky, reflecting the golden light of the Yellow River.

Zhang Jun went out of the room, and his soldiers rushed to greet him.

After replying, Zhang Jun told the soldiers not to follow him, and walked towards the Yellow River at leisure.

Standing on the stockade, looking at the surging Yellow River below, Zhang Jun stretched.

This place belongs to the Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon, with steep cliffs on both sides of the Yellow River and rapid river water.Where the river is slightly slower, a ferry is formed.Where there is no ferry, the Yellow River is dangerous and cannot be crossed.

Wubaozhai here is built near the ferry.As long as Wubaozhai is defended, the natural danger of the Yellow River is also guarded.Therefore, Wubao Village is an important channel for Hedong to enter Shaanxi, directly leading to the Suide Army and Yan'an Mansion in Shaanxi.

Now the Suide Army and the Jinning Army are all territories ruled by the Zhe family.Occupying Wubaozhai blocked the road from Taiyuan Mansion to Suide Army.It's just that when the Song army came from the north, no matter whether it was Taiyuan Mansion's Wanyan silver technique or discount, there was no response.

It is reasonable that Wanyan Yinshu did not respond.Facing the insufficient strength of the Song Army in Jinzhou and Longde Mansion, he had no time to look around.It's interesting if there is no response.After occupying Wubaozhai, Wang Xiaolie's soldiers pointed directly at Fuzhou, which should not have been the case.

At this moment, a soldier came over and said to Zhang Jun: "Qian Ju, I will let you go to the official hall. You are going to the Chen family restaurant for a banquet."

Zhang Jun turned around and said, "Understood. Now that you say that, I feel hungry too."

Liang Xingdao: "Although I said so, the reception banquet is different after all. After staying for a long time, it will be different."

The Chen family restaurant is not big.A row of earth-built houses, with a few tables and chairs.There are several rooms behind the lobby, which are the private rooms of the restaurant.The cooks in the army came to the restaurant early and packed the food and drinks with the restaurant chef.Many dishes are unheard of by the chef and feel novel.

Zhang Jundao: "It doesn't have to be like this. I don't care about good or bad, and I don't care about these things."

Jiang Min shook his head, but did not speak.

This sentence reveals a message.If Wang Xiaohun had good wine, Zhang Jun would definitely find a way to get a bottle, which showed that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

Zhang Jun smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to answer.

The food and wine are served.Liang Xing picked up the jug and said: "Soldiers in the north are still used to drinking strong alcohol. The wine shop in our army has done a good job this year. Even Taiyuan Mansion buys wine from our army. What I drink today is The Peony Spring brought by Luoyang, I hope Qian Jue can get used to drinking it."

After entering the official hall, Jiang Min and Liang Xing were waiting there early.Seeing Zhang Jun coming in, Liang Xing hurried forward to salute.

After drinking the wine, Jiang Min said: "Although the land is barren and the people are poor, they raise good sheep. The taste is delicious, neither smelly nor fishy, ​​and it is better than too many in the Central Plains. It is best to cook it with water, without too much skill. This dish Braised mutton in red is made by chefs in our army, please try it."

Zhang Jun nodded: "I've heard that's the case too. It's just that Xuanfu doesn't like wine, and I haven't drunk this wine before."

Liang Xingdao: "It should. I was supposed to be in the army to take care of Qian Ju, but drinking is not allowed in the army, so I had to come here. The small place at the border is indeed too simple and unclean, so the army had to send someone to help clean it up." .”

Zhang Jun peeked at Zhang Jun's appearance and secretly smiled in his heart.This kind of person is very interesting.He's not a picky eater, he just doesn't like what he doesn't like, and of course he has to eat what he likes.If you don't like a dish, it's better not to eat it.

Liang Xing poured the wine and carefully put the bottle aside.

Zhang Jun took a piece of mutton and chewed it in his mouth, it really tasted delicious.

Looking around, Zhang Jun said: "Although it is located in the northwest border, this restaurant is elegant and clean."

Jiang Min, Zhang Jun and Liang Xing entered the room and sat down.

When he was in Luoyang before, Zhang Jun met Liang Xing, but he didn't have a close friendship.Seeing him at this time, Zhang Jun also hastily returned the gift, acting very eagerly.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Jun praised: "It really is a good wine! No wonder this is the No.1 wine. The smell alone is extraordinary!"

Jiang Min said: "People from the army came to help clean it up. They said it was for the sake of the government, so it shouldn't be too simple."

Jiang Min has a unique style of eating.When you encounter something you like, take it easy and eat that kind of food exclusively.If you don't like it, don't stretch out your chopsticks, even if the food is in front of you.If there is nothing you like on the table, just put down your chopsticks and don't eat it.

Jiang Min on the side remained expressionless, and said to Liang Xing: "Fill up the wine, and cleanse the dust for Qian Jue!"

Zhang Jun was taken aback.Said: "Mudanchun is the first-class wine in Luoyang! How can I afford to drink like this?"

Liang Xingdao: "I heard that the steamed wine has to be harvested several times. The earliest wine is also the strongest and cannot be drunk. The indirect wine can be sold. The last wine has no gas, so we have to drink it again. Steamed. This peony spring is the wine picked up earlier, it has been aged for a few years, and it tastes the best in the world!"

Watching the soldiers prepare all kinds of tableware for themselves, they fetched water and asked everyone to wash their faces.Returning to his seat and sitting down, Jiang Min said impatiently: "I'm really not used to this kind of occasion. It's fine if Qian Jue comes. In the future, for all these things, Qian Jue will come forward more often, so I don't need to participate."

Zhang Jundao: "Who will get used to it? The most annoying thing is to welcome and send you off!"

Zhang Jun looked at Jiang Min, and saw that his expression was indifferent, without any expression.Looks like a really bad drinker.

Pour the wine into the bowl, only to see that it is slightly yellow, and a burst of wine smells.Zhang Jun likes wine, but he is not addicted to alcohol, and he is also coveted by the wine and meat.

Liang Xingdao: "This Mudanchun was given by Xuanfu when Dutong came back from Luoyang. Dutong didn't like wine, and I haven't drank it all the time. I came here today and took it out specially. I will also taste it. Said To be honest, this wine is just heard, not drunk yet."

After eating for a while, Jiang Min put down his chopsticks.He also took a sip with him when he drank, and then took a sip of tea, and stopped eating vegetables.

Liang Xingdao: "Don't be surprised by the governor. According to Dutong's rules, we do not persuade people to drink in the army. Qianju is good at drinking, so you can drink as much as you want. Dutong just doesn't drink and will not be surprised. It has always been like this, we are used to it .”

Zhang Jun nodded again and again: "It's the best! It's the best!"

Although he said so in his mouth, he said in his heart, what's the point of drinking like this?Jiang Min said that he is not used to this kind of occasion, but he is like this, it is strange to be able to get used to it!Zhang Jun simply ignored Jiang Min, and went back and forth with Liang Xing to persuade him to drink.

Jiang Min watched quietly, without any sign of impatience.Just occasionally pick up the cup and take a sip.At other times, he watched Zhang Jun and Liang Xing silently, drinking happily.Sometimes I lower my head and don't know what I'm thinking.
