"Feng Guanshi, no, it's my sister-in-law's stomach that is finally competitive."

Although it is a little inappropriate to talk about his brother's fine gentleman behind his back, this matter is not small for everyone, so Deng Liang is not so particular.

Anyway, Xu Xun couldn't say it.

Xu Xun nodded, "My brother's eyes on women are really picky. ”

He said as he took off his down jacket.

It was really hot in the room, so after sitting for a while, I began to sweat.

Taking off his coat, he took the glass of water on the desk and drank it dry in one gulp.

Deng Liang nodded on the side and said approvingly, "Yuande's words are very true. Otherwise, depending on our brothers of the Xinghan Society, what kind of woman does the brother want, how can everyone help find it. ”

It's a pity that everyone has been following my brother for so long, and I don't even seem to know my brother's taste.

Speaking of this topic, Xu Xun couldn't help but think of Erniang who was sent to Nanxiang a few years ago.

sighed even more in my heart, I thought my brother was a good mouthful, but I didn't expect Erniang to be put in the field to grow vegetables.

It's so unassuming!

Even if you can't be a brother's concubine, it's not bad to be an outer room.

Take a look at Mu Niangzi......

Thinking of Mu Niangzi, Xu Xun woke up from his dream all of a sudden.

"By the way, Wei Zhe, before Mu Niangzi left, she also told me something."

"What?"

"Mu Niangzi said, my brother's side has opened up the relationship between the prime minister, and this year we can make wine in Nanzhong."

"Great!" Deng Lianglian heard two happy events, and he really couldn't help but feel happy, "Sure enough, my brother has a way!" ”

"But my brother also said that at least half of the wine brewed will be made into spirits, and all of them will be sent to Longyou."

Deng Liang listened to this request, but he was a little strange, "What does my brother want so many spirits for?" ”

The initial cane wine, oh, has now been officially named honey wine by the sister-in-law, and it is many times better than the previous turbid wine.

The wine is rich in aroma, soft in taste, mellow in taste, and it is impossible to let go of the glass.

After drinking the honey wine, drinking the cloudy wine feels like drinking vinegar, who can swallow it?

Deng Liang, as the person in charge of Jincheng, the general transfer station, naturally also knew that in addition to honey wine, there was also a kind of spirit wine produced in Nanzhong.

This liquor burned from his throat to his stomach like a fire, and he didn't like it.

Not only do you not like it, but most people don't like it either.

"Could it be that my brother likes to drink spirits?"

Heo Hoon was also guessing the same question.

Deng Liang nodded, "It's possible." I once heard Zhao Erlang say that when my brother went to Nanzhong, he brewed three jars of spirits and brought them to Nanzhong, thinking that my brother should have a love for spirits. ”

"And the officers and soldiers in the army are mostly rough people, give them strong wine, I think it will be more courageous."

Hearing this, Xu Xun nodded, agreed with Deng Liang's words, and then sighed again, "It's a pity that this wine can't be sold, so it can only be kept for your own drink." ”

"Otherwise, I don't know how much grain I will make just by not using grain to make wine."

"That's enough." Deng Liang shook his head and said, "Just with the sugarcane orchards in Nanzhong now, there won't be much wine. ”

He sits in Jincheng and dispatches everywhere, and knows the situation in Nanzhong better than Xu Xun.

"What's more, because of the Northern Expedition, everyone is fully supporting the front, and Nanzhong has not opened a new garden at all this year."

"Brother wants to brew half of the spirits again, and the remaining share of the honey wine, I'm afraid it's enough for everyone, how can there be any excess to sell?"

"After two years, the sugarcane orchards in Nanzhong will be almost in full bloom. When the time comes, we will go and ask my brother to see if we can find a way to get the court to lift the prohibition of alcohol. ”

Deng Liang said that "let the imperial court relax the prohibition of alcohol", which was an understatement, as if it was a very simple matter.

Xu Xun actually agreed, nodded and said, "It can only be like this." ”

Although the sugar cane plantation in Nanchu was planned very early.

But in the past few years, he first supported his brother Ping Yueshan, then opened a horse farm, and then the Northern Expedition.

If it weren't for the stable production of grain from the newly cultivated fields in Hanzhong, everyone might not have been able to get so much grain.

However, the sugarcane plantations in Nanzhong have also been affected as a result, and the reclamation rate has slowed down a lot.

It's just that brown sugar is already profitable, the output is small, and the price is expensive, so everyone is not in a hurry.

As for selling wine, Xu Xun just thought about it, but he didn't really say that he had to commit this taboo, and now he has a lot more income than before.

As long as the elder brother does not fall, wait until the day when the honey wine is produced sufficiently, and want to sell it, is it not a simple matter?

But he remembered something else.

"The sugarcane harvested here also has the share of those families, and we use bagasse to make wine, and if they know about it, we will also get a piece of the pie, so what?"

Deng Liang smiled confidently, "Yuande is wrong, we don't have the ability to make wine from bagasse." We obviously make it from sugar cane, and we must remember this. ”

When Xu Xun heard Deng Liang's words, he first looked at Deng Liang in surprise, and when he saw the unfathomable smile on his face, he suddenly woke up.

I saw a sudden look on his face, and he nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered it." ”

After thinking for a while, he said, "The share of brown sugar we gave them is not less, enough for us to use our own sugar cane to make wine, but not their sugar cane." ”

Deng Liang said, "So if those families want to get peerless wine from us, they can only reduce the quota of brown sugar." I think they will be very difficult to choose, right? ”

After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were in love...... Oh no, Kiqing.

Jincheng sat idly, talking and laughing.

The city of Linjing is broken, and the blood is drifting.

The county of Anding County ruled Linjing City, and the city gate was wide open.

The Wei army suddenly approached the city, and the rebellious army that supported the city did not even hold out for a day, and was quietly sent by the Hu family in the city to open the city gate.

The Wei army swarmed in and began to slaughter the city.

Xiahou Ba led the troops, walked on the streets of the city, watched every house close the city gates, and then was directly smashed by the Wei army and rushed in.

First I heard cries for help, then screams.

He frowned slightly, trying not to look inside as he passed by the doorway.

This was the first time that Great Wei had quelled Anding County after the defeat of Longyou.

Slaughtering the city to set an example for those who are especially good is the rule set by the general.

Xiahou Ba, who led the troops for the first time, was not qualified to say anything even if he was not used to this kind of practice.

At this time, a sudden shout came from behind him, "General Xiahou! ”

Xiahou Ba turned around and saw Hu Zunzheng trotting over in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face.

"General Xiahou, the army has been slaughtering the city for half a day, why don't you go and find the general and let the sergeants stop?"

Xiahou Ba nodded, "I also have this intention." ”

Cao Zhen listened to the request of the two, but refused, "The slaughter of the city for one day is a military order, and it cannot be changed without reason." ”

Then he looked at Hu Zun again, "General Hu, I know that the foundation of the Hu clan is in Linjing, and it is meritorious to open the city gate, and I have ordered that the army must not harm the Hu clan, you can rest assured." ”

But Linjing has more to do with the Hu family than just the surname Hu.

Hu Zun opened his mouth and finally sighed.

It is clear that the general did this on purpose.

Anding County was in turmoil, and Linjing City was occupied by the rebellious army, to say that there is no shadow of some wealthy families in it, Hu Zun does not believe it.

Linjing Hu is also a prestigious surname in Anding County, and Hu Zun, who was born in Linjing Hu, naturally knows the urine nature of the local wealthy family.

An Ding learned that the Shu people had invaded Longyou, and there were rebellions in many places, saying that all of them sincerely responded to the Shu people, and Hu Zun was sure that this was impossible.

These are just tricks of the local tycoons, who want to prepare to bet.

Obviously, Linjing, as the county governor of Anding County, has many wealthy families.

The general is trying to make an example, not only to take the opportunity to cleanse the Linjing Hao clan, but also to deter the rebellious army and the people behind the rebellious army in Anding County.

It's Xiahou Ba, whose identity is not as sensitive as Hu Zun, and he has something to say, "General, Linjing is also the county governor of Anding County, if you kill too much, I'm afraid it will be difficult to govern in the future." ”

"Zhongquan is benevolent." Cao Zhen was a little more kind to Xiahou Ba.

Although Xiahou Ba was the first leader in this battle, he was not afraid of swords and guns, but he was also brave, and it seemed that the Xiahou family was going to produce another general.

I only heard Xiahou Ba suggest, "General, why are the people in the city innocent? Instead of killing indiscriminately, it is better for the army to single out the families in the city who had supported the rebel army and punish them severely. ”

"In this way, it can not only achieve the purpose of solemnizing the Great Wei decree, but also deter those with bad intentions."

Cao Zhen followed Cao Cao for decades, and Cao Cao had a great influence on him, and he did not feel that there was anything wrong with slaughtering the rebels.

Especially in the second year of the early Huang Dynasty, Zhiyuanduo, Lu Shui, Feng Xian and other Hu formed a coalition army to make a rebellion in Hexi, and Cao Zhen, the general of Zhenxi at the time, led the generals to attack the Zhuhu coalition army and won a complete victory.

At that time, there were more than 50,000 beheadings alone.

At the same time, 100,000 livestock, 1,110,000 sheep and 80,000 cattle were obtained.

How did these animals come from? Where did the tribes that lost these livestock go? The answer is self-explanatory.

However, Hu Zun, the representative of the Linjing Hu clan, opened his mouth, and it had been half a day since he slaughtered the city, and now he heard Xiahou Ba put forward this proposal, and he thought about it at the moment.

Then he nodded, "Okay, General Hu, you are from the Linjing Hu clan, I think there must be a way to find out the lawbreakers in the city, why don't you leave this matter to you?" ”

Hu Zun was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "The last general will take the order!" ”

After this incident, the surname of Linjing Hu is dominant, and it seems to be a foregone conclusion!

After Hu Zun went out, Cao Zhen said domineeringly to Xiahou, "Although we have resettled Linjing now, Xiaoguan in the northeast and Yuezhi City in the northwest are all in the hands of Shulu. ”

"Especially in this month, it is Yang Tiao, a person from Anding County, who coerced the nearby officials to hold it and respond to the Shu captives, which is really hateful, and it is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao."

"Now that the cold winter is coming, I have already sent someone to find out that most of the Shu people stationed in Xiaoguan are from Shu and do not accept the severe cold in the north."

"And half of the soldiers we brought this time are from the two states of Youyou, and half are from Guanzhong."

"Compared with Shuyu, we have been prepared for a long time, but the army is much stronger than them."

"This time, we should take advantage of the Shu Lu on the side of Xiaoguan not to know that Linjing City has been pacified, and the strange soldiers will go straight to the Yuezhi City."

"The rabble of the moon branch, caught off guard, will definitely have no intention of defending the city, and then the moon branch can go down in one go."

"I want to send you as the vanguard, lead three thousand elite horsemen, and immediately go to Yuezhi City, and I will lead the army later, how about it?"

When Xiahou Ba heard that he was allowed to lead the army first, he was overjoyed at first, and then said with some concern, "The general has the duty of guarding Guanzhong, and now he personally leads the army to pacify Linjing, which is already a light departure from Chang'an." ”

"Fortunately, Linjing can go down the Jing River and go directly to Chang'an. But Yuezhicheng is far away from Jingshui, in case there is a police in the pass, what should it be? ”

Cao Zhen waved his hand, "It's okay, the general of the auxiliary country is rarely assisted, leading tens of thousands of people to guard the rear, plus there are heavy troops in Chencang and Wangxian." ”

"What's more, Shu Lu must not have imagined that we would send troops in winter, and when the news reaches Hanzhong, stability has already been pacified, so what are you afraid of?"

"And the soldiers of Shu are all from Shu, and they have to be on the right side of Long, and suddenly they will not be able to get used to the severe cold, even if they have the intention to send troops, they can only cry out in vain."

Cao Zhen has been planning this matter for a long time, how could he not take these into account?

When Xiahou Ba heard this, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "The general clearly sees that the last general is too worried." ”

On the second day, Xiahou Ba led 3,000 elite horsemen, braving the cold wind, and swept away in the direction of Yuezhi City.
