Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3

There is a wine shop by the side of the road, and a red flag hangs at the door. There seems to be no additional decoration on the flag, but there are many people coming and going, and the sound of people drinking and talking is often heard during the period.

After three glasses of rice wine, I dared to say what I would not dare to say on weekdays, and began to discuss issues that I dare not discuss.

"After drinking wine from so many places, I think this wine is the most authentic and mellowest in the mouth, unlike wine from some places, the more you drink it, the less flavorful it becomes. I don't know how much water has been added." A man in a plain shirt was talking while drinking, and every time he drank a glass of wine, he would close his eyes for a while, completely immersing himself in the enjoyment of the wine.

"What Brother Guo said is true. I am also a frequent visitor to this wine shop. Based on Brother Guo's understanding of wine, it should not be difficult to tell what kind of wine this wine is!" There are already several jugs in the empty jug, presumably they have been drunk for some time.

"Brother Zhao wants to test someone in Guo, right? You ask me to think about it, the aroma of this wine is light and not very offensive. After hearing it for a long time, it is like being in a place full of flowers. I think it must be a kind of flower in my humble opinion. wine."

"Amazing, awesome!" The person surnamed Zhao couldn't stop clapping and applauding. "This wine is called Baihuaniang, but it is very precious. I have some old friendship with the proprietress in this shop, and it took a lot of talking before she was willing to take out two cans to satisfy our hunger. Speaking of which, I haven't had it for a long time. I can drink it." While speaking, he stroked the long beard on his chin, he looked young, but the beard was not short, and it looked carefully trimmed.

"Baihuaniang, that's a good name. I think I brewed chrysanthemum wine myself when I went out to study a few years ago. I took the chrysanthemums that bloomed in September. They smelled fragrant and tasted sweet. They were picked and dried in the sun. Use a bucket of chrysanthemum heads for two clear wines, hang them in a raw juan bag about one finger above the wine surface, then seal the mouth of the bottle, put it for several days, remove the flower bag after a few days, the wine will have the fragrance of chrysanthemums, I just don’t know if it’s true that hundreds of flowers are used to brew this Hundred Flower Brewing?” the person surnamed Guo asked.

"Baihuaniang, Baihuaniang, although it is called this name, it is impossible to actually pick Baihuaniang. I have also asked many people about the brewing skills of this kind of wine, but people who can use flowers to make wine Even fewer people can make wine that seems to be in a place where a hundred flowers bloom. Although it is a pity, no matter how good the wine is, it will lose its flavor if you drink it every day. You and I have fine wine today , is already as happy as a fairy, how dare you think about it?"

"Brother Zhao, even though this wine is good, the two of us have been drinking for a long time, why don't we open our hearts and talk about the world's major issues?"

"Brother Guo, be careful that walls have ears. It's good that you and I know some things well. It's not appropriate to discuss them in a big way. If it causes disasters, wouldn't it be regrettable?"

"Hey, Brother Zhao's worries are of course not unreasonable, but I have kept some words in my heart for a long time. I had a very happy conversation with Brother Zhao today. As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are rare if you meet a bosom friend. What chance do you have to say in the future?"

The person surnamed Zhao nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said:

"Why don't I feel that I can even talk to Brother Guo, so if that's the case, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman today. Today, we two brothers will drink wine and talk about world affairs!"

At this moment, an unkempt man with blood on his body also walked into the wine shop, half of his face was blocked by his loose hair, and the other half was hard to see because of the blood on his face , this person is none other than Xiang Yu who was reborn on the body of the young Zhou Zhuo.

Originally, he had indeed left a lot of blood because he scratched his arm before, and his body and clothes were indeed stained with some blood, but it never looked like this on him at this time, as if he had just experienced a Like a fierce fight, maybe the blood on his body is not all his own.

At this time, the waiter in the store saw Xiang Yu walking in like this, he was shocked for a while, then rushed forward to stop Xiang Yu, and shouted to him: "You bastard, we are not here. Anyone can come in, get out of here quickly!"

However, Xiang Yu, as if he didn't hear the other party's words at all, walked straight in sideways, until he reached an empty seat, and saw him throwing a small bag casually, through the opening of the bag Looking at it, it seems that there are some five baht coins inside.

"Give me three catties of beef and two cans of good wine, all hot!"

Seeing Xiang Yu ignoring him, the waiter in the shop was a little angry at first, but when his eyes saw the bag full of coins, the expression on his face suddenly changed. Compared with the changed facial makeup, he squeezed a smile on his face and said: "Guest officer really has a good appetite. Our beef and wine are famous in the city. You wait for a while."

"Hurry up! The wine should be stronger, and the beef should be raw. I like the chewy one." Xiang Yu said.

The shop waiter took another look at Xiang Yu, and then moved his eyes to the money bag on the table. At this moment, he saw Xiang Yu's eyes glaring at him. At this moment, when his eyes met Xiang Yu's, he suddenly I felt shocked, that kind of gaze really didn't match his whole body.

The waiter of this shop has been working in this restaurant for several years anyway, and he has seen many people of all kinds coming and going around him. He thinks he has some experience in seeing people, but Xiang Yu He has never seen this kind of eyes looking at him, although he has never seen them before, but he has seen similar eyes, and the owners of those eyes are all quite fierce or powerful people, and this guy in front of him It was clearly just a beggar covered in blood. Speaking of which, the money he took out probably did not come from normal channels.

Thinking of the decision made by the waiter here, the behavior of the person in front of him was very suspicious, so he simply reported his whereabouts to the nearby official, maybe the other party happened to be a murderer who had just committed a crime, and he could at least share some of the government's money. tips.

After being stared at by Xiang Yu, the waiter didn't dare to reach out for the money on the table anymore, but nodded submissively, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard of the restaurant.

Xiang Yu stared coldly at the waiter as he left, and then he took off his coat. The blood stains on the coat had already turned slightly black, and there were a few small holes in the coat. Experienced people can tell at a glance that these small holes are clearly caused by sharp weapons such as swords.

The arrival of Xiang Yu also attracted the attention of the people in the surrounding wine shop. Both his appearance and his behavior attracted the attention of others. Although this wine shop is not located in the center of the city, it is near the place where it is located. With a good economy, all kinds of people will appear here.

"Brother Guo, it's okay. I think that brother must have encountered some troubles. This is the way the world is going. Even if you don't take the initiative to find trouble, trouble will come to you from time to time."

The person surnamed Guo nodded slightly. In fact, his eyes would still look at the place where Xiang Yu was from time to time, but he didn't see much tricks from Xiang Yu for a while, so he said: "What brother Zhao said Extremely, there have been many natural disasters in recent years, is it true that God is dissatisfied with our actions, so he wants to send disasters to wake up the world?"

"If it was before, I definitely wouldn't believe that there is such a thing as heaven above and disasters on the world. But not long ago, I had a strange illness, and I felt weak all over my body. I vomited from morning to night. Originally, there was not much oil in my stomach, and I would have to vomit to death if this continued. Fortunately, a good friend of mine knew an expert, and he drew a talisman for me after simply looking at my situation, and then Let me burn this talisman and drink it mixed with rootless water. I didn’t believe this person at first, but at that time I was already weak to the point of unconsciousness, and there was no other way, saying It's strange, after drinking this talisman water for less than half a day, I stopped vomiting, and in the next few days, the expert would feed me the talisman water once a day, and then the disease really got better. Do you think it's strange!" said the person surnamed Zhao.

"Brother Zhao, I've heard of some of the things you said, especially in Julu County, there seems to be a god man named Zhang Jiao, who preached a doctrine called Taiping Dao, you The method of drawing talismans to heal diseases should be the one he used first, later on more people followed him, and many people possessed the ability to draw talismans to cure diseases. It is said that as long as their hearts are sincere enough, Huang Tian can bless them Everyone is healthy and free from disasters, if they are dishonest, they will be punished by disasters from Huang Tian!"

"Brother Guo, is there really such a god in this world? If I could have known him earlier, maybe my wife and youngest son would not have left me early. You said that this god lives in Julu Is it a county? Anyway, my family is ruined and I am alone now. I will sell all the fields and houses in my family in the past two days, and I will go to the giant deer to find the god."

"Brother, I don't know that you have lost your wife and children. I can only say a word of condolences. That Zhangjiao Taoist should have some Taoism. At first, there were not many people who followed him. However, in the past two years, all the states and counties There have been many believers who believe in this way of peace. In fact, brothers, if you really want to join them, you don’t need to sell your property and go long distance to Julu to find that horn. There are some people in our local area. I originally planned The ones who want to join it happen to be my two brothers.”

"It's so good, so good!"

These words were naturally heard by Xiang Yu. As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention and the listener is interested. Although Xiang Yu looked quite downcast at this time, what he was thinking deep down in his heart was that he could make a comeback in this era. 400 years ago, he The 400-year dynasty of the Han Dynasty was born after being defeated by Liu Bang. Now the situation of the Han Dynasty is not good. The people are displaced due to various natural disasters. The scene couldn't help but remind Xiang Yu of the Qin Dynasty back then, which clearly meant that the world would be in chaos.

Speaking of the giant deer, Xiang Yu immediately recalled that he personally commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to face the nearly 40 troops led by Qin generals Zhang Han and Wang Li. Guo, holding the determination that this battle must be won or there is no way out, finally defeated the Qin army with fewer victories and more victories.

The past is like smoke, and the majestic and heroic hair of that day has already passed away, but Xiang Yu thought of this place and had the heart of becoming a giant deer again. Who is this so-called god-man Zhang Jiao in their mouths? Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel much more in his heart some thoughts.

He is not a person who easily believes in the magic of immortals and Taoism in the world. He only believes in the weapons in his hands and the soldiers under his command. To gain a foothold in the troubled world, on the other hand, he has to find all available resources and seek opportunities for his future comeback.
