"Steamed cakes, steamed cakes, quiches, soup cakes just out of the pot, ten miles of incense, dismounted and eaten, only one penny."

The loud and gentle cries of the hawkers echoed far away in the bazaar, and for a moment, the end of the sound should be accompanied by a melodious chant like the wind, as if echoing from a distant valley.

"Yao Xi Yu Yao, Xi Qiongfang, Hui cuisine steamed Xi Lan, Dian Gui wine and pepper pulp......"

This turned out to be a wine shop, and the guys in the store brought out Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs: Donghuang Taiyi", and with the charm of Han Fu, it was sung at first glance in this noisy market, causing pedestrians on the street to stop and listen.

This is the most prosperous commercial market in Luoyang, with merchants from the north and south gathering, shops lining up between sizes, and countless flags fluttering in the wind, like hundreds of pairs of wings basking in the sun.

After going down to the court, Cao Cao went home and hurriedly changed into his court clothes, and walked to Luoyang Gold Market with his attendant Lou Yi, looking for a wine shop to meet his friends.

"Master, isn't it this?" Lou Yi pointed to a wine shop next to him, this wine shop has a bright window room, a two-storey house rises from the ground, and three strong official characters are written on the door: "Jun come again".

Cao Cao glanced at it and took the lead in entering the wine shop, and the attendants hurriedly followed when they saw this.

The two had just crossed the threshold, and a guy had already greeted him attentively, with a smile on his face: "Hello two guest officers." ”

"Upstairs!" The building is different.

When the guy heard this, he said with a sad face: "The upstairs seats are all full, only the downstairs lobby is still vacant, do you think I should move a screen to isolate the lobby?" ”

Cao Cao glanced upstairs and asked, "Is there a person named Wang Jun upstairs?" ”

The guy asked rhetorically: "The guest officer is surnamed Cao?" ”

"Exactly."

The guy smiled and said, "You're finally here, those two guest officers have been waiting for a long time, you come with me!" ”

He greeted them one after another, led the two of them upstairs, and after passing through the private seats, finally stopped in a private room by the window.

There were two people sitting in the private room, it was Wang Jun and Lou Gui who had just arrived in Luoyang, and when they saw Cao Cao enter the door, they hurriedly got up to greet each other and saluted.

Cao Cao smiled apologetically: "Because some things have been delayed, don't blame Ziwen and Zibo." ”

Wang Jun smiled and said: "We have known each other for many years, why bother with false courtesy, Meng De is invited to the table." ”

"Yes." Lou Gui pressed Cao Cao on his seat, and then said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, and today we won't get drunk and won't return." ”

After taking their seats, the three of them first drank to each other, and then saluted each other three or five times, and after the wine swelled up, Lou Gui asked: "Meng De, I heard that Shuo Fang won a great victory, is this matter true or false?" ”

Cao Cao stroked his increasingly lush beard and nodded, "It's true." ”

Lou Gui sat up straight, looking a little restless, and then stepped forward, the excitement on his face overflowing: "Tell me quickly, how did you win." ”

Although Wang Jun didn't speak, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he was actually very curious about how the Han army, which had been defeated repeatedly in the past, fought back and annihilated 40,000 enemies in one battle.

When it came to the battle of Shuofang, Cao Cao was slightly solemn, and after he drank all the wine in the cup, he told Lou Gui and Wang Jun about the affairs of the court.

He spoke very slowly, in a normal tone, and his eyes were bright, as if he had participated in the hunt for the beard himself.

As for the intrigue in the court, he only mentioned it in one sentence, and more to explain to the two of them the difficulties and hardships of the battle of Shuofang, including the poignant and exciting Battle of the Twelve Beacons.

Wang Jun's eyes were a little red, and his tone was a little choked: "The Battle of the Twelve Beacons is enough to go down in history, if the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are like these ten Han soldiers, why worry about the restless road and the unclear world?" ”

Lou Gui nodded in agreement, and at the same time asked with concern, "Who is the commander of the Han army this time?" ”

Cao Cao paused rarely: "Lu Bu." ”

"Lu Bu." Lou Gui was stunned, and there was a little more doubt in his tone: "Although there are not many famous generals of the Han Dynasty, there are also many of them, such as Sun Jian, Gongsun Zhan, Bao Hong and other generals, this Lu Bu has never heard of it. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Indeed, this person was not famous before, as if he suddenly appeared, and he won a lot in every battle, which can be described as a blockbuster, and now he has been named the general of Duliao by the Son of Heaven, holding the two counties of Heshuo." ”

This sentence is loud, but it weighs more than a thousand gold, this son of heaven usually abolishes the virtuous and loses government, and occasionally shows his grandeur, but it is Qingfeng who goes straight forward, and the shield can't be used.

If you have such courage every time, why worry about the Han family.

"Then is Lu Bu the famous Shuo Fang Taishou some time ago?" Silence had been silent, Wang Jun suddenly opened his mouth to ask Cao Cao.

Before Cao Cao could answer, Lou Gui had already interjected: "Ziwen also knows him? ”

Wang Jun nodded: "I also learned about this matter from my teacher, I heard that Lu Bu was too punctual when he took office and impeached several corrupt officials one after another, including three courtiers from Hongmen Duxue. ”

As he spoke, Wang Jun began to worry about Lu Bu, and at the beginning of the disaster of the party, he and Lou Gui traveled all over the world, got acquainted with many famous people, and knew a lot about the scholars in Bingzhou.

Those families are not visible and do not show water, but their roots are extremely solid and extensive, among which the Taiyuan Wang family is the most.

Without the support of the local gate valve, not to mention the county guard, even the history of a state may not be done for a long time, Lu Bu did this, not only cut off the financial route of some families, but also offended the entire Hongmen Duxue.

Thinking of this, Wang Jun couldn't help but shake his head, and commented seriously: "The style of action is too grand, and if you are not careful, sooner or later it will be overturned." ”

Lou Gui looked disappreciative, and a resolute look appeared on his face: "I want to go to Shuofang to have a look." ”

"Huh?" Wang Jun's eyes lit up, and he laughed again: "If you don't go and take a look, it's okay now." ”

"Is Ziwen true?" Lou Gui got up suddenly, his eyes staring straight at Wang Jun.

"General Fei's brave name, I also want to see one or two."

Lou Gui suddenly became bright, and he turned sideways to ask Cao Cao, "What does Meng De think?" ”

Cao Cao shrugged his shoulders and did not express any opinion, he really knew these two apprentices of Qiao Xuan too well, the two of them were unrestrained and did not have any fetters.

When the difficulty of the party broke out, if they hadn't relied on Qiao Xuan's nepotism, I am afraid they would not have been spared, they were used to intrigue and understood the dangers of the world, and the pride of the two had already gradually faded in the years of war.

Now they have only one goal, that is, to make friends with the heroes of the world, so the two have a lot of friends, including Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the famous family, as well as Zhang Chao and Zang Hong in the Jiangmen.

The people they made friends with were not ordinary people, and now they wanted to go to Shuofang to have a look, Cao Cao was not surprised at all.

"If you really want to go, you can go with Zhong Xuan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, just as he is going to Shuofang to summon him." Cao Cao looked at Lou Gui, who had already hurried out, and hurriedly stopped him.

Lou Gui laughed loudly, and raised his arms without looking back: "Meng De, I owe you a drink today, and I have the opportunity to pay it back." ”
