Chapter 567: Five Grains

In this way, his improved water wine is not only rice wine, but he also re-brewed other flavors, such as wine suitable for women, bayberry wine, etc.

The alcohol content of the purified liquor is much higher than that of these water wines of the Three Kingdoms period, and the taste is naturally much better than those that cannot be called wine.

This method of making wine Liu Zheng never leaks, and only brews a little bit every year, exclusively for the people around him. Zhou Cang, who is addicted to alcohol, Gan Ning and others often come to Liu Zheng to ask for these wines.

Liu Zheng will only give them a little bit, unless it is on a happy day, or even when they have made war exploits, they will be rewarded as a reward.

Many times they don't even want monetary rewards, just to ask Liu for some drink.

"What's the name of this wine?"

Lu Bu only thought that this water wine tasted good, but he didn't know what the name of this wine was, so he was very curious and asked Liu Zheng.

was suddenly asked by Lu Bu, Liu Zheng was also stunned, because he hadn't given this wine a name before, and when he was asked by Lu Bu, he didn't have time to think of a name, so he suddenly thought of the most famous wine in later generations, and immediately replied.

"Wuliangye!"

"Wuliangye? A good name, is it brewed with five kinds of grains? ”

As the saying goes, five grains, Lu Bu is naturally clear, as soon as he heard Liu Zheng say that it was five grains, he immediately guessed.

How did Liu Zheng know that this water wine was made of several kinds of grains, and seeing that Lu Bu was curious, he didn't say much, but just agreed.

"Well, this wine is not available in other people's hands, even I can brew a little bit a year, if I didn't appreciate your martial arts brother Fengxian, ordinary people, I wouldn't take it out for him to drink."

Liu Zheng deliberately inflated the value of this wine.

When Lu Bu heard Liu Zheng's words of praise, he was also a little proud in his heart, he was indeed quite confident in his strength, but he couldn't bear the praise of people like Liu Zheng, if he touted it more, Lu Bu was still a little fluttering.

No one can stand such a thing as sycophancy.

Especially people with a higher status than you, come to praise you, and they are even happier in their hearts, for example, a third-rate martial artist will tout Lu Bu's high martial arts in the future, Lu Bu may not feel anything, but if a person with a status like Liu Zheng comes to praise Lu Bu's strength, Lu Bu will really feel that he is strong and a little proud.

After a glass of wine, the relationship between Liu Zheng and Lu Bu is much closer.

There are no enemies at the table.

Liu Zheng knew this truth very well, and after touting it, after the wine, Liu Zheng began to talk to Lu Bu about business.

"Brother Fengxian, how are you doing under Ding Yuan?"

"Ding Yuan treats me like a son, he treats me like a son, and he doesn't hide it, I am not willing to surrender, the main reason is that I don't want to be an enemy of him."

"Yes, after all, it's your boss, that brother, I, change the question, what do you think of the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Zheng originally wanted to start with Ding Yuan and ask Lu Bu if he did a bad job under Ding Yuan, otherwise why would he kill Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo in history.

However, when he heard Lu Bu say that Ding Yuan treated him like a son, Liu Zheng knew that Lu Bu didn't hate Ding Yuan if he wanted to.

Although history says that Lu Bu took refuge in Dong Zhuo and killed Ding Yuan. But Liu Zheng happened to see another version of the record from some wild histories.

It is said that when Emperor Ling of Han died, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan's men and horses all arrived in Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo was the pastor of the state at that time, and Ding was the assassin of the state, and the two did not deal with each other, Dong Zhuo only needed to get rid of Ding Yuan in order to completely control the power of Luoyang, and he sent Li Su to lobby Lu Bu, but Lu Bu refused verbally.

Dong Zhuo, who couldn't make a plan, asked the guards around Ding Yuan to be bribed, pretended to write a letter about Lu Bu's fornication with him, and deliberately let Ding Yuan know that when Ding Yuan summoned Lu Bu to confront him, the guards suddenly attacked and wanted to kill Ding Yuan and blame Lu Bu.

Who knows, Lu Bu broke out and killed the guards, but Ding Yuan was still stabbed, and his life was short, before he died, Ding Yuan came up with a plan, let Lu Bu carry his head to Dong Zhuo, deceive Dong Zhuo's trust, and wait for an opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo.

Later, Dong Zhuo really died in the hands of Lu Bu.

As for this story, there is no way to verify whether it is true or not, anyway, Liu Zheng can't see it, because history has been rewritten by him, and Emperor Ling of Han has been dead for several years.

The famous Taishi Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid that he won't have a chance to become a Taishi in this life, so he can only shrink into Xiliang as his Xiliang thorn history.

"The Han Dynasty is already twilight, if it weren't for the support of a few respected old generals, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago."

The old generals in Lu Bu's mouth are Ding Yuan, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo and others.

Without Ding Yuan, Lu Zhi and others, relying on He Miao himself, he would definitely not be able to suppress the uprising of the chaotic princes.

"The current imperial court will inevitably perish, because he will be terminated by my own hands, Brother Fengxian, you said that you are under Ding Yuan, all your life, a lifetime of struggle, I am afraid that it is also a position of assassination of the state, do you want to be a general above the court? Do you want to glorify your ancestors and worship the prime minister? ”

"A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he not have a little idea, how difficult is it to just want to be a marquis and worship the prime minister?"

"No, it's not difficult at all, overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty, let's re-establish order, in the future I will be the emperor, you will be the general, how about it, do you need to think about it?"

"Of course, you can also refuse, after you refuse my proposal, I won't kill you, I will only leave you to stay with me for a few years, and after I pacify the Han Dynasty, I will let you go back, be an ordinary person, and live a life of inaction."

Liu Zheng said very calmly, without arrogance, without emotion, very bland, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

If Lu Bu hadn't known that Liu Zheng's ambition was to overthrow the Han Dynasty from the previous city tower, he would really think that Liu Zheng was crazy at this time.

"Do you really want to overthrow the Great Han?"

"What, Brother Feng Xian thinks I can't do it?"

Lu Bu asked suspiciously.

"If I had some doubts before, I believe most of them now."

Liu picked up the wine glass on the table and smiled again.

"If you have Brother Feng Xian, your strength, and my soldiers and horses, why can't you take it in this world?"

"But my stepfather, Ding Yuan......"

Lu Bu's heart was already moved by what Liu Zheng said, but it was still hindered by his father-in-law Ding Yuan.

Liu Zheng understood Lu Bu's worries, and immediately spoke again.
