The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

December 185 AD.

Without Qiu Liju's help, Zhang Chun could only hold on to Feiru and defend the city.

Gongsun Zan sent troops to attack many times, but they failed to break the city.

In December in western Liaoning, the weather was cold and it was not suitable to attack the city again.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan adopted Liu Bei's suggestion and pretended to deliberately withdraw the army, hoping to let Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju out of the city.

In fact, Tian Kai, Yan Gang, Liu Bei and others secretly led troops and horses to ambush him.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju did not retreat immediately. Instead, they stayed in the city for more than half a month and sent scouts out of the city. After confirming Gongsun Zan's withdrawal, they led their troops, horses, and baggage out of the city.

Zhang Chun knew that he had to evacuate as soon as possible, because the weather would get colder and colder, and then it would be really icy and snowy, and even cars and horses would not be able to go far.

Once spring begins, Gongsun Zan will inevitably lead his army back to continue the attack.

On the way to the outside of the fortress, Gongsun Zan and others fought out from many places.

The sounds of horns, war drums, and killing shouts were loud.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's last 70,000 troops and horses were killed and countless were captured.

Zhang Chun was beheaded by Guan Yu, and Zhang Ju was caught up by Zhang Fei and stabbed to death with a spear.

……

In January 186 AD, Guan Hai withdrew his troops from Shanggu County.

Liu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The weather was getting cold, and Zhou Cheng didn't want to start another war. After all, he had been fighting for almost two years since following Zhang Jiao's uprising, so it was time to rest.

Inside the earth building.

Zhou Cheng set up a pot and lit a fire underneath.

The meat is boiling in the pot, which is different from boiling it in water.

This time, coriander, also known as cilantro, was added to the soup pot.

And there's garlic.

These were all brought back by Zhang Qian from his mission to the Western Regions.

In addition to coriander, there are also garlic, sesame seeds, flax, figs, melons, watermelons, pomegranates, mung beans, cucumbers, green onions, carrots, crocus (saffron), walnuts, wine glass vine, etc.

Coriander likes to grow in cold places. Sow it in autumn and use it to make hot pot in winter.

Zhou Cheng, Tian Chou, Zhen Xian, Dian Wei, Guan Hai and others formed a pot, and the death camp was also composed of ten people. Everyone gathered around the pot, eating and drinking.

Although it is snowing heavily today, no one feels cold.

Take the freshly fished meat, add some sesame seeds, add two cloves of garlic, add some coriander, and put a whole mouthful into your mouth.

While chewing heavily, my head was covered with sweat. Not to mention how comfortable it was in this winter.

Then have a bowl of mutton soup with coriander leaves floating around, add a little salt, not to mention how delicious it is.

Dian Wei, Guan Hai and others were already enjoying the popularity, but their eating of meat and garlic did not slow down at all.

Even Tian Chou, Zhen Xian and others were a little worse off at this time.

There were not many delicacies in the Han Dynasty, but Zhou Cheng's way of eating it not only has the freshness of the meat, but also stimulates the taste buds, making it endlessly memorable.

Zhou Cheng raised his wine glass and said,"Let's have a drink together."

Tian Chou and others raised their glasses.

A glass of wine goes down your throat and stomach.

Men have their own way of eating, and women have their own ways of eating.

Xun Cai was in charge of hosting, and they also had a pot. However, their meat was cut into small pieces to ensure that it tasted good.

As the mistress, Xun Cai took great care of the wives of Dian Wei, Guan Hai and others.

At the same time, she also took care of the wives of Zhang Meng and others in the death camp, and she could call everyone by name.

The women gathered around Xun Cai.

Just like the men gathered around Zhou Cheng

……

It’s also a snowy day.

At this time, the Luoyang Palace was not as lively as Zhou Cheng.

Are the king and his ministers happy together? Completely non-existent.

The air in the palace was filled with tension.

Among the civil and military officials in the main hall, some even quietly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Just now, Liu Hong used Liu Yu's memorial to send He Jin to the outside of the Great Wall to attack the moth thief Zhou Cheng.

It is winter now, and normal people's logic is clear that it is not appropriate to use troops at this time.

However, Liu Hong was determined.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others never thought about who Liu Hong would send in and out.

He Jin was just a butcher. He relied on his sister to be selected as a show girl and rose to the top.

Although He Jin is a general, he is just a fool at heart.

Let a straw bag replace Zhang Wen and defeat the moth thief Zhou Cheng?

Doesn't this mean He goes in to seek death?

Yuan Wei and others are all veteran officials.

Do they not see enough intrigues and intrigues?

From the easy dismissal of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, they knew that Liu Hong was deliberately eliminating influential ministers.

The so-called influence is not the influence among ministers, but the influence on the scholar-bureaucrat class in the world.

Neither Lu Zhi nor Huangfu Song was a famous figure in the Qing Dynasty, but a representative worshiped by scholars all over the world.

Removing them can effectively hit the scholar-bureaucrat class.

This may be a bad habit left by Liu Zhi, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, after suppressing the scholar-bureaucrat class, Liu Hong would start to attack his relatives.

Whether it was Queen He or General He Jin, they had already offended Liu Hong on certain matters.

However, Liu Hong has endured it in the past.

As for why we chose to break out at this time?

Yuan Wei had already made a guess in his mind. Liu Hong probably wanted to use the hands of moth thieves to defeat He Jin and take advantage of the situation to cut off He Jin.

Of course, once He Jin leads his troops outside the Great Wall, regardless of victory or defeat, the outcome will not be optimistic.

At this time, a minister stood up

"Your Majesty, the weather is freezing and it is not suitable to use troops. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please think twice"

"Your Majesty, please think again."

Without He Jin's wink, those civil and military ministers who followed He Jin stood up one after another.

Moreover, except for Yuan Wei and others, most of the ministers opposed sending troops.

Liu Hong said:"Then after the spring begins, we will Go out and fight."

Liu Hong is not stupid either. He had already dug a hole even if the would-be ministers would use the weather as an excuse.

Since it is too cold to send troops, let's wait until the spring starts and the weather gets warmer. Then we will see what He Jin has in store. Excuse.
