Nanyang County Guard, Zhang Zhi knelt in front of the desk and looked at the official document that had just been delivered, and asked a scribe next to him: "Sun Jian's tens of thousands of troops will arrive at Wancheng City in a few days, and he ordered me to provide grain and grass for his army." Nakaae, what do you think? ”

The scribe whose name was Zhong Miao bowed his hand and bowed: "Sun Jian is just a Taishou in the neighboring county, and he is at the same level as Lord Taishou, and he has no right to transfer our salaries. ”

Zhang Zhi's fingers tapped on the table, he was appreciated by Dong Zhuo and was promoted to Nanyang Taishou. Sun Jian came to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and he would definitely not be able to help him. Zhang Shi said to the scribe: "Zhong Miao is reasonable, you immediately go down and order the soldiers who defend the city to defend it strictly." I don't believe it, if he Sun Jian dares to attack the county town, he is openly opposing the imperial court and is a thief! ”

Sun Jian led a large army to be stationed outside the city, and said to Han Xuan with an anxious look: "Han County Order, the road ahead is not smooth, and now my 30,000 troops are staying here, and the grain and grass are consumed very quickly. Nanyang is too guarded by Zhang Zhi and does not provide food and grass to me, so what can I do? ”

Han Xuan asked, "Do Zhang Taishou and Sun Taishou know each other?" ”

Sun Jian shook his head, Han Xuan thought for a while and said, "Since the two adults don't know each other, then Sun Taishou will prepare cow wine tomorrow to visit Zhang Taishou." Xiaguan's kitchen will cook all kinds of strange dishes, and Sun Taishou will come to taste it tomorrow. This comes and goes, everyone is familiar with each other, and naturally there is no mustard. ”

Sun Jian clapped his hands and praised: "Good! I'm going to let people prepare. ”

The next day, Han Xuan asked a cook to cook a few modern dishes, and then put them in a wooden box and sent them to Sun Jian. This cook was taught by Chen Wu, and after Chen Wu transferred the business of their restaurant from Lujiang County, he has been serving as Han Xuan's chef.

Sun Jian smelled the fragrance oozing out of the wooden box and praised: "It's so fragrant!" ”

Han Xuan smiled: "Hurry up and give this wooden box to Zhang Taishou for express delivery, it can't be cold." ”

Sun Jian didn't question what the express was, and took a few entourages to Nanyang City with a few cows and good wine. Sun Jian shouted at the head of the city: "I am Wucheng Hou Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, I want to visit you Taishou Zhang, go and report it quickly." ”

When the general defending the city heard this, he immediately ran to report to Zhang Zhi, and after a while, Zhang Zhi personally welcomed Sun Jian into the city. Zhang Zhi arched his hand at Sun Jian and smiled: "Sun Taishou, I was so negligent before. is really under the order of the Son of Heaven to defend the city, and he can't get out. Today, Sun Taishou came to visit in person, and he decided to set up a banquet to entertain him. ”

Zhang Shi sniffed his nose and asked, "Sun Taishou, what is so fragrant?" ”

Sun Jian smiled: "Oh, this is the dish that Han Xuan asked me to give to Lord Taishou." If Lord Taishou thinks it is delicious, he can come to our army tomorrow, and I will ask him to cook more good dishes, and I will also entertain Lord Zhang. Hahaha! ”

Zhang ordered someone to accept the wooden box and cow wine, and went to the house with Sun Jian to talk for a while, and his opinion of Sun Jian changed greatly. In this era, even the aristocracy could not eat beef often, Zhang Zhi was very grateful to Sun Jian, he was also a glutton, and he couldn't refuse food.

After Sun Jian left, Zhang ordered the servants to taste the dishes sent by Han Xuan to prevent poison. After the servant ate the dish, he said to Zhang Shi with a shocked expression on his face: "Master, the little one has never eaten such a delicious dish. If I can eat it again, I am willing to die a small one. Woo woo woo ......" he began to cry.

Zhang Shi didn't think so, and said in his heart that a servant can taste any good dishes, and it would be good to have something to eat. Seeing that the food was not poisonous, he also picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites to eat, and he couldn't stop eating. He finished all the dishes in the wooden box, touched his stomach and exclaimed, "What a delicacy in the world!" The meat is tender and delicious, fat but not greasy, and this dish, the smooth color makes people want to move just by looking at it, and the salt and oil are used just right...... This Han Xuan was so stingy, he only sent such an order. I'm going to the banquet tomorrow, and by the way, thank Sun Wentai! ”

The next day, Zhang Shi excitedly led a group of retinues out of the city with gifts and went to Sun Jian's camp. Sun Jian personally came out of the big tent to greet him, took Zhang Shi's hand and said with a smile: "Ziyi is willing to come, my Sun Jian is very honored, hahaha!" ”

Everyone knelt on their respective tables, and Zhang Shi looked at the various dishes in front of him that he couldn't name, and swallowed his saliva. He asked Sun Jian, "I don't know where Han Xuan is under the Wentai account?" ”

Han Xuan picked up the wine and saluted Zhang Shi and said, "Zhang Taishou, under Han Xuan, the word is a letter." For Sun Taishou's subordinate Luo County Order, now with Sun Taishou to go on the expedition. The lower officials are humble, how can he be virtuous, let the adults remember the name of the next. ”

Zhang Zhi picked up the wine and saluted: "Han County Ling is too modest, Han County makes the young man promising, and if he can make these delicacies, he will have a bright future in the future." ”

Han Xuan drank all the wine, put down the wine and said, "The gentleman is far away from cooking, these dishes are all made by the chef of the lower officials." ”

Han Xuanxin said that this Zhang Jian was also a foodie, but he couldn't wait to pick up a soup dumpling and put it in his mouth, and he was so hot that he screamed. When the generals saw him lose his temper, they couldn't help laughing, and they were also burned when they ate themselves.

Sun Jian had a friendship with Zhang Zhipan at the banquet, and when everyone was drunk, Sun Jian's main book suddenly came in to report: "There is a document passed to Nanyang Taishou before, but the road has not been repaired so far, and the military money and food have not yet been prepared, please arrest him and hand him over to the lower officials to ask for clarification." ”

Zhang Zhi was so shocked that he woke up most of the time, and wanted to leave, so he got up and said to Sun Jian that he wanted to go to the toilet. Zhang Shi was about to leave the camp, but was stopped by Sun Jian's soldiers outside the tent. He just wanted to call out to his entourage, who were all his generals, and wanted to summon them to come and protect them. Unexpectedly, a tiger general walked out, it was Zu Mao, Zu Mao and several soldiers escorted his general to him, Zhang Shi was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

At this time, the chief bookkeeper came in again and asked Sun Jian for instructions: "Nanyang Taishou has caused my volunteers to stagnate, so that thieves come to attack and harass from time to time, please accept the case and engage in military justice." ”

With a wave of his hand, Sun Jian ordered his subordinates to drag Zhang Shi out of the gate and behead him. Han Xuan was also angry, but he didn't expect Sun Jian to set up a Hongmen banquet to behead Zhang Zhiqing, but he took the blame again. Zhang Zhi, Zhang Zhi, is also a foodie, but you lost your life for food.

Sun Jian asked Zu Mao to put the frightened Zhang Shi's generals back, and they brought the news to the city, and the officials of the Nanyang County Government were shocked. From then on, Sun Jian's troops had whatever they wanted.

After Sun Jian's army rested in Nanyang, he and Han Xuan continued to lead the army to Luyang. As soon as Sun Jian and the others left, Zhang Shi's relatives and the old ministry united with the scholars of Nanyang County to raise troops to attack Jiangxia Taishou Liu Xiang. Because they didn't dare to fight Sun Jian, they went to fight Liu Xiang, who had a deep friendship with Sun Jian, Liu Xiang allocated all the elite soldiers to Sun Jian, and he led the rest of the soldiers to fight with the people of Nanyang. Liu Xiang's soldiers were outnumbered and eventually died in battle.

"Lord, is this the county seat of Jiangxia County? Why is it so messy? A big man with a big axe asked.

I saw a young man riding a yellow horse and wearing a hood beside him and said, "I don't know, maybe something happened in the city?" ”

These two people were Xing Daorong and Liu Du, and they led 5,000 soldiers to go to Dong, passing through this Jiangxia County, they saw that there was no one to defend the city, and there were traces of war damage on the city wall.

Liu Du pulled out his sword and pointed to the broken and open city gate and said, "Xing Daorong, you lead three hundred cavalry to the county guard mansion to inspect first." The officer and his foot men arrived. ”

Xing Daorong held a huge axe and shouted at the three hundred cavalry behind him: "You come with me." As he spoke, he rode straight to the county guard's mansion.

I saw that the county guard mansion had been surrounded by a group of chaotic troops, and the government soldiers inside were outnumbered and all of them fought to death. Xing Daorong saw a sneaky man tumbling down from the courtyard wall, and as soon as he jumped down, he was surrounded by several rebels.

Xing Daorong pointed at him and shouted at the cavalry behind him, "Follow me to save that person!" Before the words fell, Xing Daorong rushed over first, waved the mountain axe to cut down several rebels, picked up the man with one hand, and ran back to Liu Du's army.

Liu Du saw that Xing Daorong came back on horseback alone, and he brought a young Confucian dressed as a person. Xing Daorong helped the man off the horse, and Liu Du asked: "This official is Liu Du, a descendant of the Han family, who are you, and where is Jiangxia Taishou?" ”

The man actually cried: "A certain is Liu Ba, the son of Jiangxia Taishou Liu Xiang." ”
