Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Guo Jia was delighted when he heard the words, he was born to be good at wine, but he must taste all good wine, of course he has tasted the wine produced in Liangzhou, and he couldn't stop after tasting it, but the price is really high, and Chen Qun's monthly salary There are not many, so I have to bear it again and again. The wine that can be treasured by Jia Rong is definitely not ordinary.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Yun brought up a sandalwood box, the workmanship was very exquisite, and everyone was looking forward to the wine in the box.

Jia Rong gently opened the lid of the box, and there were six bottles of wine neatly placed among the crowd. Under the illumination of the light, the bright colors make people want to go up and take a bite, even if they don't care about wine. The officials, at this time, also showed longing in their eyes.

Suddenly, an official pointed at the wine and said in surprise: "What is this thing that holds the wine? You can see the color of the wine."

Everyone came to their senses and looked at Jia Rong with puzzled expressions, but the wine was full of temptation after looking at it like this.

Ren Guojia has thousands of strategies in his chest, but he doesn't know what it is, and there is longing and surprise in his eyes.

"The thing that holds the wine is the latest glass bottle produced by the craftsman's workshop. It is transparent and rare." Jia Rong only introduced some characteristics of glass, and stopped talking.

Glass has a wide range of uses, and this was the first batch of unrefined handwork. When the craftsman workshop mastered the smelting method, Jia Rong could use it to make telescopes. It is definitely a sharp weapon for marching and fighting, but the temporary use is to make money.

"What do you guys think of the wine complemented by a glass bottle?"

The arena was full of compliments, and Jia Rong was extremely proud when he heard it.

Under Jia Rong's signal, the maid in the field carefully divided the wine into the wine cups of everyone in the field. The amount of alcohol is not much, but the maid must carefully grasp the amount, otherwise some officials will have no wine in their cups, and the consequences will be theirs. unbearable.

Jia Rong’s cup is unique, but it is made of glass, and its shape is also a tall glass of later generations. Against the background of the wine cup, it looks outstanding and elegant. In contrast, the wine cup is not suitable for drinking wine. .

Looking at the fine wine in the cup, Jia Rong sighed and said, "I was originally a plain-headed commoner. In the years of war, I went to the battlefield in the name of the county magistrate. It took nearly ten years in a flash. After countless wars, there was the Xiliang Army. It’s a pity that the aliens outside the pass are eager to move, and they invaded the border of our Han Dynasty many times, burning, killing and looting the people. The princes of the Central Plains have the people in their hearts.

Jia Rong never left the people, but none of the officials under his command spoke out against it.

"The military exploits of the general can be compared with that of Wei Huo in the time of Emperor Wu. The people in Chang'an, Liangzhou can live and work in peace and contentment, thanks to the merit of the general. Without the general, what would Liangzhou and Chang'an be like? All officials can think about it. "Zhang Li got up and said.

Zhang Li was the official who followed Jia Rong at first. He had a high position and authority, not only in terms of internal affairs, but also had a certain right to speak in the army.

"Before entering the officialdom, the lowly position was nothing but ordinary people who could eat three meals a day. Fortunately, they were under the command of a general, and they have achieved what they are today." Everyone followed their reputation, but it was Wang Mu.

Even Guo Jia, who is a great talent, has to admit that with his insignificant body, he should be able to laugh proudly at the world with his current achievements. On the other hand, most of the princes of the Central Plains have achieved their prestige by relying on their posture. Compared with the Liang army, it was far behind.

Jia Xu got up and said: "The benevolence and righteousness of the Xiliang army is also rare in my life. I am so kind to the people. May I ask which emperor in the past has achieved it? The barrenness of Liangzhou has always been the burden of the whole man, but the general who is in charge of Jincheng I can turn it into a famous city no less than the inner county in a short period of time, and solve the disaster of the Qiang people, I admire you!"

Jia Xu was publicly punished because Emperor Han left Chang'an, but it did not affect his status in the hearts of generals, especially since he used to be in charge of Heaven's Punishment, and he was often seen among civil servants. Whoever, I am afraid that some officials will answer the name "Jia Xu".

However, what Jia Xu, Zhang Li, and Wang Mu said was true, not a bit pretentious, and everyone thought it was true.

"Grape wine luminous glass." The window was wide open, and the glass was so beautiful against the backdrop of the moonlight, Jia Rong couldn't help but whispered.

The officials in the field stopped the discussion one after another, savoring the meaning of this sentence carefully.

The grape wine luminous glass refers to the item in Jia Rong's hand. Everyone only knows grape wine, but they don't know the origin of the luminous glass. However, under the moonlight, the glass really looks like the luminous glass Jia Rong said.

"If you want to drink the pipa, hurry up." Jia Rong continued to chant.

He suddenly raised his head and drank the fine wine in the cup. Compared with the elegant posture of later generations, he was indescribably bold and unrestrained. Thinking of the soldiers who fought hard on the battlefield and shed their blood for the foundation of the Xiliang Army, his heart was sad, Xiliang The banner of the Liang army can fly over the princes, so it is not forged with blood.

"Grand Mo Xiao, drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times!"

The soul-stirring verses made the atmosphere at the banquet slightly stagnant, especially the last two lines, expressing the mission and destination of the general.

"Good poetry, great poetry! It's a good idea!" Guo Jia clapped his hands in praise, and the stagnant atmosphere in the venue was instantly dissipated.

Those who can come to the general's mansion to have a banquet are all famous people, and Guo Jia suddenly interrupted the artistic conception immersed in the poem, and they are all slightly annoyed. Looking at the sound, this person is unknown. Zhao looked at Guo Jia also with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, and seeing Chen Qun beside him, his complexion improved slightly.

In charge of the huge intelligence system of Heaven's Punishment, Zhang Zhao also knew many things about the core of the Xiliang Army that he had never been involved in before. , this rookie official who was valued by Jia Rong naturally became the focus of Zhang Zhao's attention.

"The poem made by the general is so powerful that it can be passed down through the ages. I don't know the name of this poem?" Zhang Li asked.

Jia Rong was ashamed in his heart, and he didn't expect to steal Liangzhou Ci because of his feelings.

"This general was born in Liangzhou, and fought in Liangzhou many times. This poem is called Liangzhou Ci."

Along with the Liangzhou Ci, the wine created a wave of literature in the Han Dynasty, and many literati began to taste wine. However, for the luminous cup, it is a bit regretful. It is said that this glass is unique to Liangzhou, and other places want to buy it. There are no channels.

A Liangzhou poem, written by generals in battle on the battlefield, is poetic and picturesque, lying drunk on the battlefield, but the last sentence of how many people fought in ancient times made many generals sad. What's the matter with blood and horse leather shroud? Scholars in the world did not expect that a vulgar warrior could write such a poem.

A feast, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.

The next day, outside the general's gate, a scribe came, about twenty years old, wearing a Confucian robe, he was also a Confucian scholar, but his complexion was slightly pale.

"My lord, there is a Confucian scholar outside the door who claims to be the general's old friend!" Zhang Xiu saw that Jia Rong finished his military boxing and had breakfast before reporting this matter.

"Oh, there is such a thing, let this person come in." Jia Rong didn't expect Guo Jia to come in person, and wanted to meet Chen Qun's residence in person in his spare time. Chen Qun's handover work cannot be completed in a short time.

"Why does this gentleman mention that he is an old friend of this general? You and I don't know each other." Jia Rong pretended to question.

Guo Jia was slightly angry, anyone who was ignored would not be in a good mood. Thinking of the identity of the superior, Guo Jia held back his dissatisfaction, and cupped his hands from a distance: "How can a humble person get into the eyes of the general, and now the general Occupying the land of Liangzhou and Sanfu, peeking at the world from Hangu, how high-spirited it is."

Jia Rong secretly smiled, and the joy in his heart can be imagined because he can make the famous Guo Jia suffer verbally.

"Don't be angry, sir, please sit down!" Jia Rong naturally wanted to show the demeanor of a virtuous corporal. A Guo Jia is a small person. It would be unwise to close the door for scholars to seek refuge because of a little bit of etiquette. .

"Come here, let's have some tea!"

The dissatisfaction in Guo Jia's heart disappeared with Jia Rong's words of "serving tea". The habit is widely circulated among the upper class, attracting many people to follow in secret.

"Slightly bitter but with a lingering fragrance, not bad." Guo Jia couldn't bear to praise, thinking to himself that Jia Rong really has many strange things, like wine, which has never been heard before. Xianlian Pavilion and Jia Rong have an inexplicable relationship .

"I don't know Mr.'s name?"

Mentioning the name and surname, Guo Jia straightened his body, "Guo Jia, styled Fengxiao Bucai, was a teacher at Yingchuan Academy."

Jia Rong secretly sneered, Guo Jiasheng was afraid that he would not be able to attract his own attention, and even moved out the famous Yingchuan Academy, who knew that he had already given birth to the idea of ​​bringing it under his command.

"It turned out to be Mr. Guo. When I mentioned Yingchuan Academy, I suddenly felt that Mr. looked familiar." Jia Rong frowned and thought.

Guo Jia was overjoyed, chatting in the academy, unlike working after he left, he was also able to enter Yingchuan Academy by chance, he was originally a humble scholar, although he worked hard to study and had thousands of strategies in his chest, he was still oppressed by the aristocratic family However, it is not easy to get an official position in various parts of the Han Dynasty. Jia Rong's reuse of the poor family is widely spread in the Han Dynasty, and Guo Jia has long since given birth to a heart of refuge.

"Mr. Guo is a well-known student of Yingchuan Academy, what do you think of my Xiliang Army?" Jia Rong was in a high position, and his words and deeds gave people a sense of calm and prestige.

Guo Jia immediately understood that Jia Rong was thinking carefully.

"The Xiliang army is famous all over the world. It has repeatedly defeated the rebels. It is all thanks to the general's merits. But in this troubled world, it is not enough to have a tiger army. In the past, Xiang Yu was brave and defeated Gaozu repeatedly, but Gaozu was able to strike at the last moment. Defeating Xiang Yu and becoming an emperor, why not?" Guo Jia talked about it carefully, and no other scribes uttered shocking words when they introduced themselves.
