Xun You rushed to Pengcheng with hundreds of carts full of grain and grass.

Accompanying the escort was Cao Cao's fierce general Xu Huang.

Before the two of them arrived in Pengcheng, Lu Bu took Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to greet them.

The place where she greeted Xun You was more than ten miles away from Pengcheng, to say the least.

Seeing Lu Bu, Xu Huang pursed his lips with contempt: "Lu Fengxian really saw the benefits, he probably heard that there was grain and grass delivered, so he went out of the city to greet him." ”

"I think he wishes the food and grass would be delivered later." Xun You shook his head.

"It is said that he killed Ding Yuan for the sake of a red rabbit horse, and later killed Dong Zhuo for Diao Chan." Xu Huang said: "So much grain and grass is much more valuable than the red rabbit and the sable cicada. ”

"Compared with hundreds of carts of grain and grass and 30,000 troops, which is more valuable." Xun You asked him.

Xu Huang didn't know how to respond to the question, but just looked at Xun Yu in a daze.

"Do you know what is the same between the red rabbit and the sable cicada?" Xun You lowered his voice and asked, "Why did Lu Fengxian betray the old master for this person back then?" ”

"Isn't it because he forgets his righteousness for the sake of profit?" Xu Huang frowned slightly: "It is said that Diao Chan is a stunning beauty, while Chitu is a divine horse, what can be the same between the two?" ”

"The similarity between the two is that they can both be ridden." Xun You's expression became a little strange, and his voice was lowered: "Diao Chan and Chitu don't die, Lu Fengxian can always ride." ”

Xun You put Diao Chan and Chitu together to talk about things.

And it is said that the common denominator between the two is that they can both ride.

It's true that the red rabbit horse can be ridden.

As for the sable cicada......

As a general, of course there will not be a few women who have slept with him, what does Xun You mean, of course Xu Huang understands.

Regarding Xun You's statement, Xu Huang has a different profile: "I think it is impossible for him to ride for too long, and in a few years, I am afraid that Lu Fengxian will not even be interested in riding it." As for Chitu, Dong Zhuo was only five years old when he gave it to Lu Fengxian. Now eight or nine years have passed, and I am already thirteen or fourteen years old. After the horse is fifteen or sixteen years old, his endurance and speed will decline a lot every year, and he wants to ride for a long time, but Chitu can't last so many years. ”

Xun You smiled and didn't say anything more.

Lu Bu was already very close to them.

There were still more than a dozen steps between the two sides, and Xun You greeted Lu Bu first: "It's still far from Pengcheng, why is Wen Hou here?" ”

"I heard that Xun Gong is coming, I am worried that something will happen on the road, of course I have to greet him in person." Lu Bu looked at Xu Huang: "If I had known that General Xu was with me, maybe I would have been lazy." ”

"Xuzhou is the boundary of warm weather." Although he despised Lu Bu in his heart, Xu Huang said politely: "Wen Hou is willing to come, and we also feel more secure." ”

"The two of you have brought me food and grass, who dares to make up your mind? One day they provoked right and wrong, and the next day I led the troops to root their nest! Lu Bu smiled: "Xun Gong, General Xu, please!" ”

Lu Bu and Xun You rode side by side, while Xu Huang walked in a line with Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.

"Warm." Xun You asked: "When the grain and grass arrive, when can we send troops to Huainan?" ”

"The day after tomorrow." Lu Bu said: "Set off on time early the morning after tomorrow. ”

"Huainan is not far away, is there still something to prepare for Wenhou?"

"It doesn't matter." Lu Bu seemed to be very embarrassed and smiled: "Duke Xun knows that I have recovered my youthful physique now." Being young has its advantages and disadvantages. ”

Approaching Xun You, Lu Bu lowered his voice: "There are some things that are not done, even if you go on the expedition, you will feel empty in your heart." ”

What kind of character is Xun You?

Lu Bu didn't know what he said, but he also knew what it meant.

Hehe smiled, Xun You shook his head.

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will leave on time early in the morning." Emphasizing again, Lu Bu looked back at the team transporting grain: "The wine that Xun Gong promised to send......"

"Yes, both!" Xun You said: "The lord said, as long as Wen Hou sends troops to attack Huainan, these grains and grasses can be used at will. As for the fine wine, a lot of it will be given to Wen Hou and the soldiers in the army in the future. ”

Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, farmland has been barren everywhere, and the annual harvest is not even enough to feed the population of the Central Plains.

Countless people starve to death or are killed almost every day.

Brewing requires a lot of food.

In an era of food scarcity, wine was undoubtedly a luxury made at the cost of many lives.

However, the more extravagant things are, the more people will chase them.

Even in the most scarce areas, there is a group of people who are engaged in the business of making wine.

Cao Cao has operated in Yuzhou and other places for many years.

Under his rule, the localities had stabilized, and because of a series of measures to promote agricultural development, the Cao family did not have to worry about the lack of grain and grass, and even had surplus grain to make fine wine.

What Xun You brought to Lu Bu was the old wine of Du Kang in Runan under the rule of Yuzhou.

The name of the Dukang wine begins with the name of the person.

It is said that the ancestor of the wine, Du Kang, stumbled upon the discovery that after processing, he could obtain a sweet elixir from grain.

The delicious elixir he discovered was a wine that formed an independent cultural system in later generations.

Because the brewing process of wine originated from Du Kang, a native of Runan, later generations respected him as the ancestor of wine, and also named the wine produced in Runan as Du Kang wine!

Not only is it the source of the wine, but the process of making it is also very strange.

Artisans who make wines store their wines in different cellars.

Some cellars have relatively poor quality wines, while others have sweet, mellow wines that leave you with a long aftertaste.

It is precisely because of the characteristics of the cellar storage of Du Kang wine that this brand will be subdivided into different series such as "six cellars, nine cellars, twelve cellars, and fifteen cellars" after 2,000 years.

Although Du Kang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty also divided the cellar, he did not have the title of later generations, and Lu Bu did not know what kind of wine Xun You sent him.

After cruising around the convoy transporting grain and grass in advance, Lu Bu secretly sighed in his heart - in many places, people can't even eat a bite of food, and there are still people who make a living from wine under Cao Cao's rule.

Lu Bu said very sincerely: "Last time Xun Gong came to Pengcheng, I didn't greet him well, this time I must have ordered to buy a few kinds of meat to entertain Xun Gong." ”

"You don't have to be deliberate." Xun You smiled: "Wild vegetables are very good. ”

"Last time, I didn't have any good wine, so I just ate wild vegetables." Lu Bu said: "Xun Gong sent wine, if you put wild vegetables on the feast again, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing?" ”

He instructed Zhang Liao behind him: "Wenyuan, take someone to hunt some wild things......

"Where are there wild things near Xuzhou?" Zhang Liao said with a bitter face: "Everything that can be eaten, even the bark has been gnawed away by the people, and wild animals have long been hunted to extinction." ”

"This is difficult......" Lu Bu scratched his head, his eyes falling on the horses pulling the cart.

"Horses can't be killed." Xun You hurriedly said: "Without horses, who can pull these carts?" ”
