Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 1 The Last Year of the Eastern Han Dynasty
Liu Zhang looked at the lacquer-eared cup placed on the table. It was made of wooden tires. The inside of the cup was painted with red paint, and the outside of the cup was black paint. The patterns were set on the inside of the cup, the rim of the cup, and the ears.

The wine in the cup was country rice wine. It was not very clear and translucent, and was slightly turbid.

He picked up the lacquer ear cup and took a sip. The alcohol content of this rice wine was not high and the taste was a bit shallow.

Compared with the famous wines that his body had drunk, Zhongshan's 'Dong Niang' and Guanzhong's 'Baibo' were quite different.Compared with the many alcoholic drinks of the 21st century that he had drunk in his previous life, the taste was even worse.

Things and people have changed, and the wine he drinks is also different. Liu Zhang no longer tastes it carefully, but drinks it all in one gulp.

The wine was drunk, and the bottom of the lacquer-eared cup was exposed. On the red lacquer base was a black lacquer cloud pattern, with the words "Jun Xing Liquor" written in the center.

'You are lucky to have wine. Liu Zhang savored these three words and couldn't help but sigh that the people of the Han Dynasty were really romantic. In the small roadside tavern, there were such elegant three words written on the bottom of the lacquer-ear cups used, urging customers to drink more.

Looking sideways at the outside of the store, the tavern that sells alcohol in Danglong has no walls blocking the view. There is a low wooden fence on the side close to the street.

This is a market in Chengdu.

There are wine sellers, ironware sellers, and silk sellers.There are thousands of kinds of things, and hundreds of houses sell them.The sounds of selling goods come and go, and the sounds of bargaining are endless.

It is really a prosperous market. The Yellow Turban Army that brought chaos to the world did not cause turmoil in Bashu for long before being put down by Jia Long, the leader of Yizhou. Therefore, when the world was in chaos, Bashu was as stable as Mount Tai.

Looking at this peaceful and peaceful Han Dynasty market, Liu Zhang's eyes were a little confused.

He is not from the Han Dynasty. To be more precise, the soul in his body at this moment is not from the Han Dynasty. He is from the 21st century.

In his previous life, he was a social worker. He worked overtime until early in the morning. When he was crossing the road after get off work, he was hit by a dump truck and died on the spot.

Although his body dissipated, his soul possessed the bodies of Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu, the fourth sons of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He crossed.

Liu Zhang's happy-go-lucky character quickly accepted all this, and he took stock of the current situation.

The current time is the first year of Xingping.

The former Yizhou Mu, his cheap father Liu Yan, had just died of illness. The important ministers of Yizhou, including the Sima Zhao Wei and the governor Wang Shang, etc., favored Liu Zhang, who had a weak personality, and recommended Liu Zhang to succeed the position of Yizhou Mu. , and sent someone to send a notice to the court.

As one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Yizhou has a large population and wealthy scholars, and is known as the "Land of Abundance".In these troubled times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, being able to sit in the position of Yizhou Mu can be said to be a prince with great power.

'It's just that the position of Yizhou Mu is not very convenient. Liu Zhang showed a wry smile. He felt like he was sitting on the crater of a volcano that didn't know when it would erupt.

Internally speaking, he has an older brother Liu Mao. According to the traditional order of seniority, the person who ascended to the position of Yizhou Mu should be Liu Mao, not his younger brother.

Externally speaking, the important ministers of Yizhou elected Liu Zhang as the shepherd of Yizhou, not because they were convinced, but because his predecessor was weak and easy to control.

There is also the conflict between host and guest. The Dongzhou people whom his father Liu Yan relied on have deep conflicts with the Yizhou natives.

Dongzhou people are people from Nanyang and Sanfu areas in Guanzhong. They fled to Yizhou to escape the war.

This group of people who fled to Yizhou were anxious and uneasy because they had left their homeland and were unfamiliar with their place of life. They were favored by Liu Yan and became his party members.The Dongzhou people happened to have no one to rely on, and now someone was willing to take them in, so they naturally gathered under Liu Yan's command.

In order to secure his position as a pastor in Yizhou, Liu Yan used Dongzhou people to suppress local scholars in Yizhou, which resulted in a tense relationship between the two parties.

As a fan of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Zhang clearly remembered that in the fifth year of Jian'an, the conflict between the Dongzhou people and the Yizhou people finally broke out, and a great war broke out that disrupted the entire Bashu.

Liu Zhang felt a bit toothache. There were too many landmines in Yizhou. If he wanted to survive here safely, he needed to solve these problems, otherwise he might not know how he died.

Liu Zhang's thoughts were interrupted by a childish voice: "Master, what's so good about the rice wine in this country? It's not as good as the fermented wine in the mansion."

Liu Zhang turned his head and looked at Pang Que, who was sitting on his left. He was a handsome young man who was the son of Pang Jing, the chief minister of the Prefecture Mufu. From the time Liu Zhang arrived in Yizhou in the second year of Chuping, Pang Que was always there. Serve Liu Zhang.

The Yinqing that Pang Que mentioned was the famous wine of Bashu. After the young man drank the famous wine of Bashu, he no longer looked down on the rice wine from the countryside.Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head, patted Pang Que's head gently, and said: "You are so young, what do you know? Sir, what I drink is not wine, but favor and worldliness."

Sitting in a wine shop, tasting wine, and observing all living beings in this era was a unique experience for Liu Zhang. He needed to understand this era in depth.

Opposite to the shop selling silk, two delicate girls stood in front of the stall, attracting Liu Zhang's attention. They seemed to be a master and a servant. The girl who was the master seemed to have taken a fancy to an elegant Sichuan brocade and was haggling with the vendor. With.

Shopping has always been the same thing from ancient times to the present. Buyers and sellers always need to bargain.

At this time, two people walked into the wine shop. The leader was a strong man wearing a blue official uniform. He had a white face and no beard, and he was majestic. His strong body forced the loose green clothes on his body to be slightly tight.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but praise him from the bottom of his heart, what a capable man.

The man who followed was a bit lean, wearing a short jacket and a hat on his head.

The two people found a quiet place to sit down, warmed up two bottles of wine, and started chatting.

Although they were far apart, Liu Zhang, who was born with sharp ears, could vaguely hear fragments of the conversation between the two, and only heard the lean man speaking in a persuasive tone.

"Qu Shuai, brothers miss you very much."

"It is better to be happy in Bajun than to be an official at the mercy of others in Chengdu."

Liu Zhang was a little surprised by the word "qushuai". He didn't expect that this strong man in green clothes was also the leader of an armed group in Bajun. It's just that this strong man was no longer the eldest brother and went to Chengdu to become an official.

The lean man following him seemed to be persuading the former eldest brother to take off his official uniform and continue to lead his brothers to make a fortune.

Was he at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? The conversation between the two people gave Liu Zhang the feeling of a story that happened in Liangshan, where a group of heroes invited Song Jiang to gather together again and again.

The lean man was still persuading, and his voice was low: "The new Yizhou Shepherd is Liu Zhang. I heard that this person is cowardly and incompetent. My brother will definitely not be able to get ahead here."

"Ajiu, I don't know what you're talking about." The strong man in Tsing Yi drank a glass of wine and said helplessly, "It's just that my mother doesn't like me as a ranger." At this point, the strong man in Tsing Yi stopped and just drank without answering. His expression was a little shaken.

Liu Zhang was a bit dumbfounded. He had eaten melon on himself and was used as a negative example. He did not go to defend himself, but drank another glass of rice wine, thinking that he could no longer bear the title of cowardly and incompetent, otherwise he would be in trouble. No one trusts him anymore.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the wine shop, and a girl's voice as clear as an oriole came: "Captain, please respect yourself."

Everyone in the liquor store looked towards the street outside the store.

Five men wearing military crowns and crimson robes stopped the two girls who had just bought Sichuan brocade.

The leader, the captain, showed no respect for himself at all and said frivolously: "My voice is really nice. Don't call me captain. Call me general."

The four men following the captain laughed happily.

Dongzhou people are Dongzhou people from Guanzhong. Liu Zhang identified where this group of people came from their accent. Just when he thought about the Dongzhou people, this group of people jumped out.

His cheap father Liu Yan was really too tolerant of the Dongzhou people, which led to this group of Dongzhou soldiers dared to run rampant on the streets and bully the Yizhou people.

No wonder that in the fifth year of Jian'an, Zhao Wei, minister of Yizhou, could easily incite the Shu people to launch a rebellion, which almost cost Liu Zhang his life.

Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. Yizhou people have been oppressed by Dongzhou people for too long.

Liu Zhang sighed and prepared to stand up, intending to stop them. He could not let the Dongzhou people go on like this. He wanted to live peacefully for two more years.

At this time, I heard the strong man in green clothes in front of me, known as Qu Shuai, smash the wine table with his palm and shout angrily outside the wine shop.

"Dare thieves."
