Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 11

In the early spring in the north, the weather is still chilly, cooking a pot of pork ribs hot pot, the taste is indescribable.

The three of them sat opposite each other around the red clay stove, the cut pork ribs were cooking loudly in the copper pot. There was no hot pot, let alone a high-end copper tripod, so they could only use copper pots instead.

Liu He poured in the yams and radishes that had been served, sniffed them, and frowned slightly, still dissatisfied.

There are not many vegetables eaten in this era, and there are only these two kinds in winter in the north, not to mention seasonings and so on. A handful of salt and a few drops of rapeseed oil are all that is needed.

Hotpot without chili is simply soulless!
Liu He couldn't help but shook his head, took the bowl and picked up the chopsticks: "Okay, let's eat!"

In the Han Dynasty, meals were still shared, and it was the first time for Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to eat like this. Especially now that Liu He is the host, it always feels weird to sit at the same table and eat the same pot of rice with them.

"Hurry up and eat!" Under Liu He's urging, the two also picked up the bowls and chopsticks, picking up the ribs like Liu He did.

Zhao Yun ate a few mouthfuls, and finally couldn't help asking: "Brother, why are you going to tease that butcher this morning?"

Hearing this, Guan Yu also stopped his chopsticks. He had not spoken since he came back from the street, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Liu He's behavior.

"Hey, can't we talk after eating?" Liu He sighed helplessly.

This morning I was surrounded by people. I paid more than 3000 yuan to settle the matter on the street, and had someone give the stall owner another [-] yuan before returning.

Zhang Fei failed to recruit him, but instead he was regarded as a playboy by him. The misunderstanding became even more serious, and he even lost his family fortune.

At Zhao Yun's dinner table, the old incident was brought up again, and the ribs in Liu He's hand were no longer fragrant.

But Guan Yu also said: "Young Master's actions are indeed a little bit of Meng Lang."

Liu He looked at Guan Yu. He was saying that he had high emotional intelligence. Didn't he just mean that he was a playboy?

Stopping the cup and throwing the chopsticks, he couldn't eat, and he was at a loss when he put down the ribs. Now he is also depressed!
After a pause, he asked, "Yun Chang fought against him today, what do you think of this person's strength?"

"Master!" Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes slightly and seemed to be recalling, and said slowly: "This person has a thousand pounds of strength, and no ordinary person can match him."

As expected, he is indeed a master of the world, and his words are all-rounded. When he exaggerates, he undoubtedly improves himself.

Those who are waiting are not Zhang Fei's opponents. He and Zhang Fei had a tie, so he is naturally not a person who is waiting.

Liu He nodded slightly. There are indeed not many opponents who can get Guan Yu's approval. He said with a wry smile: "I have long heard the name of Mr. Zhang. He is righteous, bold, and ambitious. The Han Dynasty, eradicating the evil party, unexpectedly became self-defeating."

Guan Yu didn't expect Liu He to have this purpose. He frowned and said, "Since you are a hero, why don't you come to visit and express your ambition? If you are really like-minded people, you will follow your son and serve the court."

Liu He shook his head and said, "Yun Chang doesn't know something. This man is unruly and reckless. If he is not subdued first, he may not follow orders in the future and make a big mistake instead."

Guan Yu was obviously not convinced when he thought that today's battle had not been decided, so he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "If you want to subdue this man, Yun Chang is willing to fight with all your strength."

Liu He motioned Guan Yu to sit down, and said with a smile, "If I can get the help of the two of you, where in the world can I not go?"

"And me!" Zhao Yun quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and wiped his mouth.

Liu He laughed and said: "You haven't started yet, so you will naturally have a place in the future."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment and nodded reluctantly.

He still has three to five years before he can become a teacher. This time Liu He took him down the mountain to relax. As a closed disciple, he has not yet completed his studies. How could Tong Yuan let him go down the mountain?
Liu He picked up the bowl again and laughed loudly: "Eat quickly, the meat is rotten in the pot!"

There were two jars of wine next to them, and the three of them temporarily put aside their worries, ate meat and drank heavily.

It's just that this wine...it's really hard for Liu He to gulp it down.

The wine of this era was still fermented wine, with a sour taste and a turbid soup. According to the standards of future generations, it was not wine at all, but at most it was just mash.

After eating and drinking enough, the three of them discussed for a while, then went out to the street and went straight to the butcher shop. The stall owner immediately looked nervous when he saw Liu and the three of them, especially Guan Yu.

As far as he knew, none of the heroes who came to the village were the opponents of the owner. The three punches and two kicks that came to the village before were brought down by the owner. win or lose.

The owner of the villa is still sulking in the backyard at this time. He drank several jars of wine and refused to eat. No one dared to go in to persuade him.

It is not easy to be scolded, and maybe you will be beaten!

When Liu He heard that Zhang Fei was drunk because of the fight, he was secretly delighted. This showed that Zhang Fei was not convinced, so he immediately sent a message to the stall owner, saying that he would visit the village early in the morning and get him ready for a showdown.

Anyway, they had already left the house, so the three of them wandered around the city to get familiar with the situation in Zhuo County. As the war was approaching, he paid more attention to the protection of the surrounding city walls.

When they arrived at the city, they found that the defenders had decreased a lot. After inquiring, they found out that when Gongsun Zan left, he took with him [-] elite soldiers, and the only [-] horses left in Zhuo County.

Liu He scolded Gongsun Zan for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and the key was to mobilize the main force of the army, but Liu Qi didn't take it seriously, and didn't realize the danger at all.

No wonder after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many officials were killed in various places. It is estimated that the situation is similar in all places. I hope that after Zou Jing returns, he can pay more attention to the Taiping Sect, so as not to cause a catastrophe.

The official conscription document has not yet come down. Although Liu He is a soldier, he does not dare to recruit soldiers privately. This is a serious crime of treason, so he has no choice but to go home. The most urgent task right now is to get Zhang Fei into his account first.

In the evening, there was another chat. Guan Yu's Jianghu experience is very rich and exciting, and it is estimated that he can talk for a few days.

Early in the morning of the second day, the three of them went out to Zhang Fei's manor, which was just behind the butcher shop. The yard was not big, but there was a big garden behind it.

He was greeted by servants just outside the door, but instead of going through the main door, he was led into the garden through the side door. It seemed that Zhang Fei still didn't welcome him, and the misunderstanding was aggravated.

It really is a peach garden here, in addition to the vegetable garden and the butcher shed, there are many peach trees planted, and the peach blossoms on the branches are in bud.

Zhang Fei was warming up by boxing under a tree. When he saw three people coming in, he came up to meet them. He clasped his fists and said straight to the point, "Please!"

Liu He returned the courtesy, and said with a helpless smile: "I heard that Zhang Zhuangzhu is a hero and righteous man, is this how you treat guests?"

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "My village is full of people who kill pigs and dogs, and are reckless in the market. The young master is a descendant of a famous official family. He is a butcher in the lower district, and he cannot be ranked high."

Hearing Zhang Fei's sarcasm, Liu He could only shake his head helplessly. It seemed that if he wanted to win his trust, he had to subdue him first and then explain slowly, otherwise he wouldn't listen to half a word.

Immediately said: "Yesterday there was no point in fighting and kicking. I don't know if the owner of the villa can use a sword. I will compete with the owner of the sword."

"You?" Zhang Fei was startled, glanced at Guan Yu, obviously not wanting to fight Liu He, shook his head and said, "Better than 'cheaper'? That's incomparable, incomparable."

He was a bastard who deliberately said it very seriously, of course Liu He heard it.

Unexpectedly, the ancients would be stubborn, so he frowned slightly and said, "Why do I hear the owner of the villa sound like a curse?"

"So what if you scold you?" Zhang Fei sneered, "I even dare to scold the fatuous emperor, what are you?"

"Presumptuous!" Guan Yu was furious when he heard the words, and he was about to take a step forward.

Liu He held Guan Yu back, and at this moment, a ray of light was shining in the east, and the blood in his body was boiling, and he stepped forward with his sword in his arms and said loudly: "I see the real chapter under my hand—Vendor Master, draw your sword!"
