In the evening of the same day, the boat berthed in Jinxiangdu. After the army settled, Liu Zhang invited Xun You and others to visit the Yangtze River.

A building boat carried Liu Zhang and others to Jiangxin.

As Liu Zhang's ship, the building ship was dismantled with trebuchets, and only six bed crossbows were retained to defend against enemy attacks, so the top deck was very open. Liu Zhang ordered people to set up more than 20 seats on it, and they toasted with everyone to celebrate the victory of the war.

Liu Zhang picked up his wine glass, got up and came to the side of the boat, and everyone also raised their glasses and gathered around Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang raised his glass and said: "Everyone, this first glass of wine, let us pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the Battle of Daijing, it is they who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, are not afraid of sacrifice, throw their heads, and spill their blood, so that there is this great victory!" This cup of wine wishes them peace under the spring, abundant food and clothing in the next life, and a safe life! With that, pour the waves in the cup into the rolling Yangtze River.

Everyone followed suit, and the mellow and clear wine made countless splashes on the surface of the water, and in the blink of an eye, there was no trace.

Liu Zhang looked at the distant river and said loudly: "Soldiers, go all the way, I, Liu Zhang, promise you to your undead that as long as I am there for a day, I will ensure that your family has food and clothing, and I will do my best to create a peaceful and prosperous world for your children and grandchildren, so that they can stay away from war and be safe and happy!" If I go back on my word and break my oath, I will die without a place to bury! ”

After silently following the railing, everyone took new seats.

After the guards poured a full glass of wine for everyone, Liu Zhang raised his glass again: "This second glass of wine is a toast to everyone, thank you for your strategizing and taking the lead, our military was able to enter Jingzhou, come, let's drink this cup together!" ”

After everyone thanked them, they drank the second cup with Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang raised his glass again: "The third glass of wine toasts all the people of Yizhou, who personally sent their sons and husbands to the barracks and handed over the harvest of their hard work...... It is with their support that we have the ability to launch the battle of the war, it can be said that they are the cornerstone of all victories, without them everything is just an illusory dream, come, we pay tribute to these lovely people! ”

After thirty years of drinking, the atmosphere began to liven up, and Zhang Fei and other drinkers were lively and lively to fight wine. Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others were also lifted by Liu Zhang, and they didn't use cups when they were overjoyed, and picked up the wine urn to "goo". Whether it is said that Wu Mingke is conscientious in his duties, that he has lived in the isolated mountains and forests for many years, and does not know the deliciousness of wine, anyway, he never drinks alcohol, but every meal requires a lot of meat, and now he is just standing straight behind Liu Zhang, fulfilling his duties.

Zhang Fei has been fighting with Dian Wei and Xu Chu for a lot of wine in the past few years, but every time he is about to meet good materials and chess opponents, if he drinks down, Dian Wei and Xu Chu don't want to stand, if he is sober, Dian Wei and Xu Chu will not be confused. Immediately, Zhang Fei picked up a wine urn and said loudly: "Come, come, come, this time my old Zhang has to drink you down!" ”

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were not to be outdone, they picked up the wine urn and touched it, raised their necks and started drinking......

Zhou Cang and the others who were drinking but the three of them immediately surrounded and applauded loudly.

Liu Zhang smiled helplessly, raised his glass to Xun You and the others: "Come, let's drink ours, don't care about them, out of sight and out of mind, they are cows eating peonies, blind my good wine!" ”

Xun You and the others also laughed.

Xi Zhicai rarely drinks anymore, and after tasting it, he said: "Burning the piano and boiling the crane is also not interesting, haha...... I wasn't even better than I was ...... in the past."

Guo Jia also said: "Jia is the same, I used to think that wine is the most delicious and delicious thing in the world, and I feel uncomfortable when there is no wine in my mouth, but now I ......" said and raised the wine glass to the end of his nose and sniffed it gently, and said: "The taste is still the same taste, even more mellow, but it no longer makes Jia worry about his stomach!" ”

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, drink less pleasantly, drink more to hurt the body, Zhicai and Fengxiao are not in good health, and it is better to drink less!" ”

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "If it was before, the lord said such a thing, his subordinates would definitely not think so, there is no wine, life has no color, but now every time the wine worm is on the brain, as long as you brew a pot of Yizhou good tea, the fragrant and rich tea fragrance will immediately drive the wine worm away......"

Over there, Xu Chu drank all the urn of wine, and when he looked up, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei poured the urn in their hands almost at the same time, only a few drops of wine that leaked through the net dripped down, and the three of them fought together again.

Xu Chu came to Liu Zhang with an empty urn and said with a smile: "Lord, there is no wine and no food here, no matter how good the wine is, it tastes good!" ”

"No smell?" Liu Zhang glanced at the empty urn in Xu Chu's hand, and said angrily: "That urn of wine is full of five catties, and you still have a trickle left to drink it if it has no taste?" If there is a taste, just the three of you, you have to drink it poorly, next time I don't put four catties of water in the wine urn, so that you can see what is tasteless! ”

"Don't, don't!" Zhang Fei hurriedly came up and said: "Lord, Lao Xu, this guy can't speak, this Wuliangye is the world's first-class wine, he won't appreciate it, you just punish him to quit drinking, we didn't say anything, right, sunspot!" ”

Dian Wei wiped the wine stains from his mouth and said: "Yes, since Lao Xu said that there is no taste, the lord will give me his share, I don't dislike it......" I didn't expect the honest Dian Wei to have a black belly.

"You two guys are still not brothers, are you? Falling into the well, right? Xu Chu shouted urgently.

"Kuroko is right, you said it yourself, the so-called seeers have a share, lord, just give this guy's share to me and Kuroko!" Zhang Fei said with a grin.

Xu Chu hurriedly said: "Lord, I didn't mean that, I meant ...... It's this...... This one...... By the way, I mean it's good for me to have wine with these two big black faces, but you're different, and so are you, gentlemen, you elegant people can't just hold a wine vat and pour it into your stomach like us, right? That's a bit too much...... You should make two exquisite side dishes, accompanied by wine and food, poetry and drinking, which matches your identity, isn't it? ”

Liu Zhang smiled and said, "You guy, okay, for the sake of you being so good at talking, I will spare you this time!" ”

Xu Chu was overjoyed, slapped Liu Zhang's ass, and said: "The lord is still well aware of righteousness......

Liu Zhang didn't care about him, and said: "What Zhong Kang said also makes sense, this has wine and no food, it is indeed a little inappropriate, come on, go and prepare a few side dishes......"

The guard immediately said, "Yes, lord!" So saying, he went down to the deck. Liu Zhang's boat has a dedicated galley at the bottom of the boat, so that he can provide food at any time, but he does not need to go up and return to the shore, which saves a lot of trouble.

As the sun sets, the last ray of red light shines on the river, and the scales are as red as blood. A few tired birds returning to their nests swept across the river, and a vague figure was reflected in the river......

On the riverside, a fisherman sits on a reef, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, looking at the fish floating in the river with a comfortable expression. On the path in the distance, the figure of a woodcutter looming on the way home......

If it weren't for the sound of Zhang Fei and others' drinking, it would have been so peaceful, and the atmosphere of tranquility and ambition would unconsciously make people's hearts calm......

Liu Zhang suddenly remembered the popular song "Linjiang Immortal - Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" by Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty, and the popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations made this song sound all over the south hundred of the Yangtze River, and it lasted for hundreds of years, and later the hit of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Yang Hongji's deep and rich and magnificent interpretation made him penetrate into the hearts of an entire generation of Chinese.

Liu Zhang couldn't bear it anymore, got up and sang according to the railing: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, whether it is success or failure and turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red and ...... several times"

Liu Zhang's singing immediately attracted everyone, Zhang Fei and the others unconsciously stopped drinking, and Guo Jia and the others who were talking also turned their heads to look at Liu Zhang, with a thoughtful look on their faces. A few tired birds flew by, as if they should be with Liu Zhang, and flew into the distance with a few low chirps.

Liu Zhang is not a singer, he doesn't have an excellent voice, and he can't drink Yang Hongji's momentum, but everything in the words is as immersive as he is at the moment, and at this moment he really understands the poem. Especially thinking of the countless killings in this battle of Jingjing, his voice was more compassionate and helpless, maybe he will never be able to sing this kind of taste in the future......

After singing, Liu Zhang saw that everyone was looking at him, thinking of his voice, and secretly said, "It's a shame now", and couldn't help but blush, fortunately, he had just drunk wine, and others couldn't see the abnormality.

Guo Jia took the lead in coming back to his senses, stroked his palms and praised: "Good, good, good poetry, good songs, better artistic conception, the lord sings all the changes of the country, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace!" The smell is endless, and it makes people feel like they are in their hearts! ”

Full of pets said: "Pets have different feelings, pets feel desolate and tragic from the lord's singing, rich in philosophy......"

Xun You said: "At the beginning, I felt quiet and indifferent...... Thinking about it carefully, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times...... The artistic conception is lofty, alas, the leopard in the tube, my generation of laypeople, it is difficult to understand the deep thinking of the lord! ”

Seeing that everyone didn't laugh at his singing, Liu Zhang felt at ease and said, "I had a feeling just now, and blurted it out, which made everyone laugh." The same water feeds hundreds of people, with different environments, different mentalities, and different experiences, and it is not surprising that thousands of people may have a thousand feelings when they see the same thing! ”

He also said: "I thought that with copper as a mirror, I could be dressed properly; Taking history as the context, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses! We are shepherding one side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, we should not be blinded, we should take history as a warning, widely advise, everything needs to be thought about from different aspects, we need to listen to the opinions of the people, before we can issue government decrees, otherwise it is a fiction to the wall, not only is it difficult to benefit the people, but it will make the people suffer, if the order of the past changes, it will make the people at a loss, this is self-isolation from the world! ”
