Chapter 54
By mid-May, Huaishuo had been trapped for more than three months. Wei Kegu was not on the offensive in the first place, since Pei Guo attacked, the rebels suffered a big loss, and the thief army rarely attacked, only according to the siege of the village.
Huaishuo City became bold, at first it was just to send an order to send the sentinel out, and gradually there were soldiers and civilians in groups, and then later, there were even merchants passing through. He Badu persuaded Yang Jun several times, saying that the thief village was not far away, or there might be spies taking advantage of the gap to enter, so it was necessary to guard against it. Yang Jun said that although there is grain in the city, the rest of the wear is always insufficient, and there is a benefit to transportation, so you might as well use it to help Huaishuo keep it for a long time. He had no choice but to abandon the proposal.
Yuwenqiu saw that the rebels outside the city were slack, and for many times they didn't even send patrol horses, and often thought about whether to take the opportunity to send Yuwenying back to Wuchuan, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not very safe after all, so he gave up. Yu Wenying was happy, this period of the father was obviously a little relaxed about his care, but he had to be idle, so he went to talk to Pei Guo, and Pei Guo often teased and teased He Batsheng.
Huaishuo City, like other towns in the six towns, was originally quite sluggish, but because of the thieves and soldiers, it made the neighboring rich families pour in, and it seemed quite lively for a while. At this time, the soldiers could not afford to fight, and everyone could not be idle, so they wandered around the door without stopping, and even brought the market, restaurants, gambling houses, and even kilns and prostitutes in the city to flourish, as if the thieves outside the city were far away in the sky.
The townspeople and townsmen are becoming more and more unrestrained, and the town general Yang Jun can't help but be affected by this, and the town soldiers can't help but relax. What's more, he and others were originally Hu soldiers in the border village, and they were used to drinking alcohol on weekdays, so in Huaishuo City, the army on duty gradually thinned, but there were more town soldiers in the city who had unloaded the Jia Panhuan wine shop and gambling house.
There was also a dispute among the Wuchuan Volunteer Army--- many people said that since Huaishuo was safe, I might as well wait for an opportunity to return to Wuchuan, anyway, seeing that the thief army was not strictly defended, He Ba Duba had this intention; There are also high-spirited people, saying that they still want to break the thief with one drum, and they will go to Wuyuan together with the army of Wuchuan and Huaishuo to help Linhuai Wang Yuanyu, and Yuwen Qiu belongs to this discussion. Speaking of which, there is always no explanation, and gradually everyone is tired, and people who run out of the army to drink and desert abound...
。。。。。。
In the east of Huaishuo City, not far from the market, more than ten bungalows are crowded together, the doors are closed, the iron locks are sealed, and there are more soldiers patrolling and guarding around. These houses were originally the property of a wealthy family in the city, and they were vacant all the year round, but Yang Jun grabbed the grain and grass weapons before the arrival of the rebels and entered the city, and the treasury of the town government could not be piled up, so he simply requisitioned this bungalow as a granary.
The sky was getting dark, and several patrolling soldiers in front of the granary door gathered together, rolled up their sleeves, and stomped their feet to complain: "This God, it's obviously early summer, why is it still cold at night?" "Who's to say it's not? Eh, if there is a mouthful of mare's milk wine in the stomach, tsk, can it be warmed from the head to the feet? "Why hasn't Yao Shi seen a shadow yet? Calculate the time, and his team should come over to change the guard, and I can go drinking and having fun. ”
The Yao Zhi in the mouths of the guards is a Yu Hou of Huaishuo Military Town, who has four soldiers under his hands, and has always been responsible for the night guard of the granary. But at the moment he was not close to the left, but was drinking happily in a restaurant in the city. The four Wu commanders drank together, and the sixteen pawns didn't have to drink, so they only stayed aside to eat some Hu cake noodle soup.
"Sun San!" Yao Zhi exhaled the smell of wine and said drunkly: "It's not that your wine is bad... It's always Yao Ye, I have my duty, I can't afford to delay, today... That's all for today. He pushed a few cases away and staggered to his feet.
"Yao Ye stays!" A person jumped up opposite Yao Shi and hurriedly spoke out to stop it, it was Sun San, the shopkeeper of this restaurant. He is a man, he only came to Huaishuo last year, and he took over this restaurant somehow. This Sun Sanhao is capable, and in less than a year, not only is the business booming, but he also makes friends with many people in the town, especially in the army. For example, Yao Shi, two months ago, Sun San met him through Yao Shijun's friends, and knew that Yao Shi was addicted to alcohol, so he invited him to "taste new wine" every other day. ”
Today, Yao Shi brought his subordinates and was about to go to change the guard, but he called Sun San to stop, saying that there was new wine in the store, and he specially invited him to try it. Yao saw that it was still early and there was nothing to do, so he simply brought the big guy with him. He and the four Wu Commanders had their own good wine and good food to serve, although the pawns were not allowed to enter the room, but Sun San also greeted a mouthful of hot soup and hot cakes, so they were all happy. The restaurant didn't know when the other guests were dismissed, and only Yao Zhi and his subordinates were left at the moment, eating and drinking, and living happily.
I drank a lot, and the strength of the wine was a little high, but Yao Zhi was still sober, calculated the hour, and it was almost time for the rotation to leave, so he wanted to say goodbye and leave, but then he heard Sun San eagerly obstructing him, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What's the matter?" ”
"I wanted to save it for next time..." Sun San grinned: "That's it... ”
"What? What's next time? ”
"Don't hide it from Master Yao, in fact, I still have a jar of good wine, which I have treasured for a long time, and I have always been reluctant to take it out... Sun San smacked his lips as he spoke: "Tsk, the taste of that wine... It's a rarity in heaven and a rarity on earth... ”
Yao Zhi's eyes straightened: "And such good wine?" ”
"Isn't it!" Sun San said with a smile: "A few days ago, a few splashes in Dongcheng came to make trouble, but thanks to Yao Ye leading the brothers to drive them away, the small shop was cleaned. Sun San thought about it, but there was really nothing to repay, so only this jar of wine was still valuable, and he should be dedicated to Yao Ye. As the saying goes, it's better to hit the day than to hit the day... As soon as he spoke, a man ran down, and soon came up with a wine jar.
What Sun San said on weekdays has always been true, Yao Zhi heard it in his ears and believed it for seven points. As soon as the mud was gone, the aroma of wine overflowed, and it rushed straight to Yao Zhi's nostrils, and he couldn't help but drool: "Actually... There is such a fragrant wine. The mellow aroma of the wine was soon full of fragrance, which provoked sixteen pawns in the distance to sniff their noses.
For a while, the wine worm is in the brain, where can Yao Zhi take care of the changing of the guard? Hurriedly shouted: "Full, hurry up and fill it for Yao Ye!" ”
When it was about to be poured, Yao Zhi picked up the wine bowl and drank the bottom of the bowl in one goo, his eyes lit up at the moment, and he couldn't help but sigh and praise: "Good wine!" Wine! That's good! Still unsatisfied, he grabbed and knocked on a few cases, and motioned for another bowl. Not only Yao Zhi, but also the four captains sent their own wine bowls forward, and the sixteen pawns also came over unconsciously, looking at them with a greedy face.
"Yao Ye!" Sun San smiled while pouring wine: "On this cold day, the brothers have to keep vigil, and it is hard work... It's rare to touch such a fine wine, why don't you eat a bowl of fresh wine for the big guy? ”
Yao Zhi frowned slightly, quite reluctant, but after a glance, he saw the pawns around him swallowing saliva and looking at each other... After thinking about it, he said, "It's okay, it's okay." One bowl per person, not a lot, and you have to be on duty at night. The rest, leave it for next time, haha, next time... ”
A jar of good wine poured out, Yao Zhi below, a group of people swallowed the cow and drank, smacked their lips again and again, smiled even more, and shouted "good wine"!
Yao Zhi drank the fastest and the most, and when he was drunk and confused, he suddenly inexplicably shook, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Sun San opposite--- Sun San was also laughing, and the smile was more cheerful than the soldiers who drank heartily; He was also shouting, the shape of the mouth, the shape of the mouth ... It's clearly saying: "It's true! Pour also! ”
