Chapter 538: Walking through Xiangyang
After sending away Kuai Liang and Yi, Guo Jia gave Beiping a book, and called Liu Yun to hang out with him in Xiangyang City, the stability and wealth of Jingxiang Nine Counties are known all over the world, and Xiangyang City is the most prosperous place in Jingzhou, and he is used to seeing the atmosphere and heroism of the northern imperial capital, and now the delicacy and delicacy here can also have a refreshing feeling. The streets of Xiangyang are not as neat and wide as those in Beiping, but the streets and alleys are staggered, often seemingly at the end but full of people.
Guo Jia walked in front of the head and looked at the local customs with great interest, and stopped with Liu Yun from time to time to taste the specialties of Xiangyang, which seemed extremely relaxed, but from Liu Yun's eyes, he also knew that there were already two or three groups of people following them secretly for a while, presumably these people should belong to different forces, local factions, Yanzhou Jiangdong is afraid that they are also among them, Fengxiao didn't care about this, and continued to look at the scenery, but Liu Yun was full of spirit at this time, and the lord's words were still in his ears, The safety of the military advisor is more than his own life!
The region is different, the dialect is the same, the government is better, but in the streets and alleys, those people speak fast Fengxiao really may not understand, fortunately, there are Tianer people around him to explain one by one, from the daily remarks of these ordinary people, he can know that Liu Jingsheng's prestige in Jingzhou is still very high, a bit similar to the situation of the lord in Youzhou, the people are actually quite simple, who can give them a stable and rich life, their hearts will support, and in the turbulent and troubled times, the former is more important than the latter, After all, there is everything to live.
Blacksmith shop, grain store, these two places are Guo Jia's most concerned places, if you observe carefully, you can see some clues of Jingzhou from here, whether the blacksmith shop's handiwork is exquisite can be connected with the ordnance of the Jingzhou army, and whether the materials of the grain store are sufficient and diverse can also be seen in the Jingzhou treasury. And often the information obtained in this way is the most credible and true, and he has done such things in Jizhou.
The most famous restaurant in Xiangyang City is Songheju, where the famous dish is the saury in the river, which is a specialty of the Yangtze River, with tender meat and fresh juice and smooth fragrance? Refreshing! However, because of its scarce production and difficult to catch, the price is also very expensive, Guo Jia heard Gan Ning mention it several times in Youzhou, and it was quite memorable at that time, and he naturally would not miss this opportunity to come. In the evening, he and Liu Yun sat down here to drink, this saury fish really deserves its name, and it is full of praise for eating Fengxiao, no wonder the guy put this dish at the end, otherwise the rest of the food will be tasteless after tasting.
"It's a pity that this thing can't be stored for a long time, even if you use the method of the second general, it will be much inferior due to the loss of umami, otherwise Guo Mou will bring some more back and distribute them to the three generals and generals." After the wine and food were full, his own guy packed up the cups and plates, and served fragrant tea to Guo Jia and Liu Yun, but the guy's right hand was hidden under the tray but he made a few gestures quickly before exiting the door, Guo Jia laughed loudly when he saw Liu Yun's eyes, and his words were quite regretful.
It turns out that this Songheju is also the industry of Tian'er, but it is hidden very deeply, and the whole Tian'er also knows that there are Guo Jia and Liu Yun, the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper, know it, and the guy's gesture means that the wall has ears. However, Guo Jia's smile is heartfelt, Gan Ning once taught him a way to keep fresh, that is, put the ice cubes in the iron box, and then wrap it firmly with a heavy quilt, so that some food is not easy to deteriorate in the process of transportation, Feng Xiao tried it and felt quite effective, but Youzhou and Jingzhou are thousands of miles away, and this method may not work.
Speaking of deliciousness, Guo Jia and Liu Yi can be described as like-minded, the two of them everywhere they go, regardless of how repeated the war situation is, they inevitably have to make some articles on the appetite, they also scoff at the so-called "gentleman far away cooking", as a traverser Liu Yi has this hobby It is reasonable, but Guo Jia seems a little different, which is also one of the reasons why the two became confidants, Guo Jia still remembers the iron pot that the lord begged Xu Gang to play, and first poured the oil juice squeezed from the soybean (soybean) into the boil, After that, add poultry meat and eggs to stir-fry is delicious, especially the braised tofu and braised fish with the main name, and add soy sauce, which is unforgettable! The righteousness of the master and the slave, the temperament is similar, and it is strange that the relationship between the two is not close to the drinking friend and the food friend, and now the first thing that comes to mind when I see this swordfish delicious Fengxiao is the lord, but it is a pity that he is inconvenient to come here.
"Strategist, this Baifang Pavilion in Xiangyang City is very famous, and now it's better to go here when you are full of wine and food." Liu Yun didn't know why Guo Jia's regret was so strong, but when he saw that the military advisor was very interested, he proposed, this Baifang Pavilion also knows that it is a Qinglou place when he hears the name, and the more prosperous the place, the higher the style of such places, just like Luoyang's Closed Moon Pavilion and Beiping's ***, it seems that it is a rule handed down in ancient times that men want to find some sexual encounters when they are on a business trip, of course, this kind of place in the Han Dynasty is still different from later generations, and it is also an elegant move for celebrities and gentlemen.
"No need, I drank a lot with my old friend yesterday, and today I still have an early rest, and I have been shopping for two or three hours, and I will go back to the post house." Guo Jiayan said, with his temperament, there will be no shortage of such places, but now that he is entrusted by the lord to come, Feng Xiao does not have such a mood when the big thing is not accomplished, and the purpose of a visit to the city today has been achieved, so there is no need to stay any longer.
Liu Yun heard the words and immediately called the store to settle the bill, the two went downstairs to the carriage that came to wait and went back to the post house, at this time Xun Yu lived in the courtyard was dark, I wanted to go out to find friends and friends, and so Guo Jia arrived in his own courtyard, Xu Shu had rushed back from Pang Tong's mansion, was reading the book of war in the hall, saw Guo Jia and Liu Yun two people into the door and hurriedly got up to greet each other, these days Pang Tong is still in the great joy, Zhuge Liang was left by Pang Degong, Xu Shu did his best to naturally have business in the body.
"Yuan Zhi came back late, but he missed the delicacy of the knife fish, but Hengzhi should still be free these days, tomorrow you and I will go to Songheju again, this thing is unforgettable." Guo Jia waved his hand to signal that Xu Shu didn't need to be polite, and sat next to him very easily and smiled.
"The military division has Yaxing, the knife fish in Songheju is indeed a must in Xiangyang, and it is the season at this time, so the military division must be feasting tonight." Xu Shu also smiled when he heard this, after he came back, he knew that Kuai Liang and Yi had come to the post house in the afternoon to talk with the military advisor for a long time, and now seeing Guo Jia's expression, he should have gained something, but the military advisor would not ask if he didn't take the initiative to mention him.
Guo Jia bowed slightly when he heard this, but his eyes were looking at Liu Yun, and only after seeing him nodding did he say to Xu Shu: "In the afternoon, Yi Jibo and Kuai Zirou came together, and the two of them got straight to the point, and bluntly said how to deal with it if Cao Mengde marched into the Jingxiang Lord Guild, and asked Guo for a batch of weapons. "Being in someone else's territory, Guo Jia is very cautious in his words and deeds, the lord can find out the secrets of other places, and he also has to prevent others from drawing gourds in the same way, so he is also very vigilant in this post house, and only after Liu Yun confirms that it is correct, he will tell Xu Shuhe about the noon incident, and he has no reservations about this person.
In my opinion, the wisdom of these two people should not be under Guo Gongze's judgment in the south, and they are also rare talents under Liu Yuanjun, Mr. Zirou is good at planning, and Mr. Heterodu is good at military strategy, and they will never see Cao Mengde has the intention of annexing Jingxiang in the eyes of the two, but Jingzhou has not encountered a war for a long time, Yuan Shu has captured Nanyang County back then, and now Cao Mengde's momentum is better than Yuan Highway, and its ability is not the same. I'm afraid that even if Sun Bofu is difficult to join forces with Yanzhou due to the battle for Yangzhou, if Jingzhou is the slightest negligent, it is not Cao Cao's enemy! Xu Shu said with a straight face, the lack of actual combat experience in the Jingzhou army has always been the biggest weakness, and it is difficult for Nanyang and Xiangyang in the nine counties of Jingxiang to take advantage of the water army, what I am afraid of is that the Kuai brothers think that they think they are high enough to look down on Cao Cao, but they still despise it.
"Yuan Zhi's words are extreme, Kuai Zi Rou said that as long as the lord helps Liu Bei to use troops in Yangzhou so that Sun Bofu can not be distracted by this, he will have a strategy to break Cao, but it seems that it is not so simple, Cao Cao took advantage of our army to take Jizhou to recuperate and recuperate when it is imperative to use troops in Jingzhou, this person is more eloquent and has a lot of people under his command, I am afraid that he will not move this time, a move will be huge, and there will be a way to contain the lord, so the strategy of Jingxiang to resist Cao is nothing more than the law that Tian Yuanhao offered to Yuan Shao that day, The soft color of the considerable kuaizi does not seem to mean this. Guo Jia nodded again and again when he heard this, Xu Shu's words could be said to coincide with him, but there was a trace of worry on his face at this time.
"Hehe, what the military advisor said is similar to Kong Ming He Zeng, he also asserted that according to the city, the method of sticking to the strong wall and clearing the wilderness is the best way to deal with Cao Jun, this matter is related to the life and death of Jing Xiang, I think the teacher should be alert to Liu Zhijun, but it is unknown whether Liu Zhijun will adopt it. Fang Cai's military adviser said that when Cao Cao raised his army, there would be a way to contain the lord, and looking at his past actions, the military advisor should have a target, and he was willing to listen to Gao Ming. Xu Shu smiled slightly, and asked again.
"Kong Ming's son, his talent is not under Shi Yuan Yuanzhi, and his calm and generosity is still excessive, the words of the lord are true, and the name of the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks is also well deserved, and he is only eighteen or nineteen years old this year, and there are Lumen princes to add **, with a little experience in the future, he is the talent of the pillars, and it is a great luck if the lord can get it! What Fang Cai said is just a doubt in Jia's heart, but there is no specific place yet, and Yuan Zhi can also refer to it in detail! Guo Jia said, he was not surprised by Xu Shu's words, how could Kong Ming be valued by the lord if he didn't have this vision? As for Cao Cao's containment technique, it was just a premonition in his heart, but this premonition became stronger and stronger as the war approached!
