The Xizhou boy asked Zhang Huan for the call, and rushed to Hanyang, and the Sanfu area adjacent to Liangzhou was not far behind. After all, Zhang Huan moved to Hongnong, in the eyes of Sanfu people, he is also a fellow villager, and he is one of the few famous generals in the late Han Dynasty.

After hearing the news, rangers and evil boys from all walks of life packed their bags, bid farewell to their families, and rushed to Hanyang County, Liangzhou for various reasons.

Jingzhao Yin Xinfeng, is a famous place of Sanfu, known as the name of "chicken and dog know Xinfeng", and its name has been passed down all over the world for a long time.

When Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang, unified the world, established the Han Dynasty, and set the capital of Chang'an, his father Liu Taigong as the emperor, lived in Changle Palace, although not as poor as before, enjoy the glory and wealth, but because of his civilian background, he is not suitable for the luxurious life of the palace, often miss his hometown, miss the time with the pig and sell wine together, cockfighting and lackeys, drinking and playing ball, laughing and joking, how happy, so he has been sullen in the palace.

For this reason, Liu Bang, who did not respect the law of etiquette, found out, and simply ordered the craftsman Hu Kuan to build a new city for Liu Taigong in Liyi, the hometown of Qin near Chang'an, the national capital, which was exactly the same as his hometown Fengyi, and even in order to make Liu Taigong happy, he directly moved all the people in the town of Fengyi, his hometown.

It is rumored that because this Xindi village and town was built exactly according to the style of Fengyi, the city walls, praise roads, and houses were all exactly the same, after the emperor ordered all the residents of Fengyi to move here, people can find their own houses familiarly as soon as they arrive, and even the chickens and dogs brought from Fengyi can also find the addresses of their respective owners' homes, which is the origin of "chickens and dogs know Xinfeng".

After the death of Emperor Liu Taigong, Emperor Taizu Gao renamed Liyi Xinfeng and placed it as a county.

Of course, Xinfeng is famous not only for its reputation when it built the city, its name has been passed down to this day, and it is more famous for its Xinfeng wine, which is also related to Liu Taigong, after the completion of Xinfeng City, Liu Taigong also wanted to drink the wine of his hometown, Liu Bang let his hometown Fengyi migrate to the winemaker of Xinfeng, and presented the hometown wine to Liu Taigong to taste, Liu Taigong was full of praise after drinking, and even Liu Bang was very nostalgic for it.

The so-called "good at the top, effective at the bottom", at that time, the courtiers of the Han Dynasty knew that Liu Bang loved Xinfeng wine, and naturally in order to please the emperor, they changed to drink Xinfeng wine, even if they originally liked other drinks, they would change their words. Since then, Xinfeng wine has been famous all over the world, literati and ink writers have many chants, and the generations of famous drunkards have not tasted the Xinfeng wine that is famous in the Han country, and they cannot become alcoholics.

A dilapidated liquor shop in the north of the city, some dilapidated store signs, at the moment there are many guests, saying that they are guests, in fact, they are all old farmers who come and go as coolies, drink some wine to relieve fatigue, or some rangers who have no money, because their families are poor and can't afford to go to a big restaurant, they can only come to this dilapidated place to gather in groups and drink to relieve their suffering.

"Wencai, hurry, drink another glass, don't waste the wine."

"Good! Good! Drink this cup of poop. ”

Soon, I saw a young and burly young man, and after returning the salute to the toaster, he drank all the wine in his ear cup. What followed was a few other young rangers who were drinking together, coaxing, shouting, "Good drink, good!" Good! Good ......" and other words, these rangers have nothing to do on weekdays, and they don't have much spare money on them, so it's rare to drink, so they naturally have to make more noise, how noisy they are.

After the young man drank the wine in the ear cup, he heard the young man put down the ear cup on the desk, and then sighed and said: "The wine is too sour, it is not as good as the wine shop in the south of the city, hey......"

"If we have the money to drink in the south of the city, can we come here to drink in a dilapidated manner? They are all Xinfeng wines, why is the taste so far apart? The ranger who persuaded the young man to drink, hearing his friend lamenting like this, immediately retorted and said, too, if they had money, they would not come to this wine shop that obviously lowered the reputation of Xinfeng Wine to drink, and they had already gone to the most authentic Xinfeng Wine Shop in the south of the city to drink, but unfortunately, the cost there was too high, and they could usually go once, which was enough to brag about their friends.

"Yes, too! Yes also! It's all Xinfeng wine, why is it so far away...... "After hearing this, the burly young man also echoed the words, in fact, these people said that the taste of wine is so far behind, in fact, it is better to say that they are so far away from their own life circumstances, and those rich and wealthy people sigh so far, after all, a good wine shop is a powerful person can go, they go to one without money, and the other has a shabby appearance, it is estimated that those shops do not say it, and secretly they are very disdainful of them to be able to go to the hotel once.

This burly young man is named Bao Chu, the character is talented, he is a native of Xinfeng, Jingzhaoyi, and he has become a famous ranger in Xinfeng County when he is young. As for the different taste of Xinfeng liquor in their mouths, it is because the liquor made by the two liquor shops is different, just like Moutai, which was highly hyped in later generations, can the wine produced from the authentic Moutai distillery taste the same as the wine produced in Moutai Town?

Of course, the taste is definitely different, maybe the wine in Moutai Town is better than the wine in Moutai Distillery, maybe the wine in Moutai Distillery tastes better than the wine in Moutai Town, but both wines are produced in Moutai Town, both are called Moutai, can you say that they are not Moutai?

"I heard that Zhang Gong of 'Liangzhou Sanming' called on Xizhou athletes to join the army, regardless of their background, regardless of the past, those who call ten people will be given the long, those who call a hundred people will be given the position of tun chief, and those who call five hundred people will be given the position of military marquis. Today, I call all my brothers to come, and for this matter, I want to borrow money and join the army to march north, and I dare to ask you if you want to go with me? After toasting a few ranger friends who called here today, the young man who had just persuaded Bao to drink wine said that today's "bold" take money and invite his brothers to drink, in fact, one is to say goodbye, and the other is to pull a few people to join the army with him, saying that he can't mix up with a grassroots military position.

As soon as his words came out, the room suddenly quieted, and they all looked at the young man in his twenties, with different expressions on his faces......

Until the wine in the cup is exhausted, there is no more wine to drink, a few people and the young man who wants to join the army each say a few words, then say goodbye and leave, some people want to join the army, some people are timid and would rather spend time in the small city of Xinfeng, and some people are decided, such as that Bao out. As for the reason for the choice, of course, it was not that he was afraid of death, he was a famous young man in Xinfeng City who could fight, and the reason why he chose was because he was filial piety, and he had an old mother at home, so he didn't dare to give it up, otherwise he would directly take the sword in his hand, study with the young man who persuaded him to drink, and find a loan from a loan shark in the city to join the army, and he received the money for recruiting soldiers to pay off the debt.

In a dilapidated house in the south of the city, Bao Chu returned home with a drunken smell of alcohol, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he bumped into his eldest brother and sister-in-law weaving sackcloth with the courtyard.

"Are you drinking again?" The sister-in-law frowned when she saw the drunken smell on her husband's brother's face, and then said with disdain: "I have nothing to do all day long, drink and fight, and I can't get a penny at home, so I really become a ranger who eats idle meals for nothing......"

Sister-in-law in front of Bao Chu, chattering endlessly, Bao Chu was resentful, but he didn't dare to speak, he knew that his sister-in-law hated himself for being incompetent, after all, he had a fight so far, and he had no livelihood except for drinking with friends, several people in the family lived completely on his brother and sister-in-law, and he, a person who had already reached the crown, could not find a livelihood, and completely became a moth in the family for nothing, and even when it was time to marry a daughter-in-law, because he had no money, he kept dragging it, in this case, how can he refute?

After listening to his sister-in-law's "teachings", Bao Chu entered the house with an angry and indescribable mood, his family was poor, naturally there were not too many belongings, it can be said that the valuable things were counted with his fingers. Looking at everything in the room, Bao Chu's eyes were even more angry, and he thought of the question he had hesitated to solve in the afternoon......

Eventually, as usual, he went to his mother's house to meet him, and after asking how his mother was doing, Bao told his mother about the decision he didn't want to say.

"Mother, if you want to go to Xizhou to join the army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to serve your knees in this life, I hope that my mother will not miss my son, and I will allow my son to go west."

……

In Huayin County, Hongnong County, Zhangfu, where Zhang Huan's disciples came to listen to the lectures every day, became extremely deserted because Zhang Huan went west and served as the assassin of Liangzhou.

However, the door of Zhang Huan's mansion is deserted, but it does not mean that the mansion is not lively, these days in Zhang Huan's mansion, there has been a steady stream of quarrels, the cause is Zhang Huan's eldest son Zhang Zhi and the youngest son Zhang Meng's quarrel, it is said that Zhang Zhi did not allow Zhang Meng to go to Liangzhou, and even after Zhang Meng's several reluctant strong requests, he sent someone to lock him up, just not let him go.

It's a pity that for young people, once they decide on something, they won't back down at all. Today, after observing for a long time, Zhang Meng finally found the flaws in the patrol in the house, after bypassing the heavy people, Zhang Meng finally walked to the backyard of the house, next to a courtyard wall, according to the way he jumped off the wall when he was naughty, completely out of Zhang's house, went to the Huayin County Office, and said that he visited his father, and let the county office open the "pass", carrying a few catties of gold stolen from home, after buying a horse, he rode straight to the direction of Liangzhou.

Zhang Meng has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he also learned to ride a horse early, but he was not disturbed by the new horse at all, at this time, it suddenly fell in the sky, and it seemed to remind him that there were all kinds of difficulties in going to Liangzhou, so let him not mess around.

It's just that for the second-year teenager who has already had the courage to run away from home, since he has decided something, he will never give up unless he is caught.

The rain in the northwest is the same whether it rains or not, and Zhang Meng's decision is the same, but in the north of the grassland, it rains or not, but there is a huge difference.

The autumn rain came late and urgently, and the autumn of the three years of Dahan Guang and the third year was destined not to be calm, but the northern war between Han and Xianbei was also extinguished by a half moon because of a long shower.

The rain was pouring down outside the tent, and even though the soldiers kept scooping away the soaked water of the tent with their pockets or other clay bowls and pots, they still couldn't stop the rain from outside the tent and seeped into the tent along the soil.

"Prince, it's so urgent, it's not the lord's general." In the military tent of the Chinese army, Duan Cheng looked at Fuquan walking back and forth in front of him, and hurriedly woke up.

"Duan Gong, Danhan Mountain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, the army can only live for a short time, not for a long time, now the army is stationed here, it has been more than half a month, if you don't withdraw, what should you do if there is a disaster?" Fu Quan asked with a worried face, as a general, he naturally would not forget to choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack when camping, otherwise this will be an outlier disaster for the Han army.

Xianbei people are grassland tribes, so they naturally don't care about defending the camp, after all, as long as it is not an accident, after encountering an enemy attack, these grassland people only need to find their war horses, get on the horses and escape, after all, they only need food and weapons, and the tribal tents can be easily abandoned. But the Han army is not good, there is no logistics baggage, even if they are all cavalry, it is difficult to adapt to the environment of the desert outside the Saiwai, even if Fuquan advertises to fight to nourish the war, but the final victory is also guaranteed by the excellent weapons and equipment of the Han army, but after a series of battles, all kinds of weapons have been lost a lot, and if this continues, if there are no reinforcements, he will only have to lead the army back, and only learn from Li Ling to wait for help.

"Don't panic, the military situation is unknown, it's better to be still, our army doesn't know the military situation outside the Saiwai, Xianbei is the same, they are all cavalry, this kind of weather, they will not dare to move troops, after the autumn rain, it is not too late to discuss this matter."

At this moment, Fuquan's military experience is not as rich as Duan Cheng's problem is undoubtedly exposed, for Duan Cheng, there is no need to be nervous in this kind of weather, because no matter what army, in this kind of heavy rainy weather, will reduce its combat effectiveness. The Xianbei people are all cavalry troops, and the war horses want to fight in this kind of weather purely to find death, unless there is a certain certainty, or there is no way out, no one dares to take risks.

In fact, there is a reason why Fuquan is so panicked, because the heavy rain suddenly fell for nearly half a month, and the Han army was blocked from the outside world. After all, whether the Han army marched in the rain, or moved to other places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, the wet and muddy roads, and the logistical baggage troops that the army did not follow up greatly limited the progress of the Han army. Moreover, the situation of the enemy in the vicinity is unknown, and it may not be possible to find a suitable camp site if you march rashly, and the current weather is difficult for the Han army to march even if it has an excellent guide who is familiar with the terrain, so it is better to stay where you are and wait for rescue.

However, Fuquan does not have the temperament of Duan Cheng who does not pay attention to the danger at all, after all, the place they captured is Danhan Mountain, where the royal court of the Xianbei people is located, no one knows whether that He Lian will come to the rescue if he knows the news, it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of people under Helian, and they are all Xianbei elites, and the Han army now has only more than 10,000 soldiers, without reinforcements, it is difficult to be the opponent of the Xianbei people.

"Hey!" In the end, Fu Quan had nothing to do, but let out a long sigh, and then stared blankly at the outside of the tent, only to see that his own soldiers had laid down their weapons, lifted the Hufu pants worn by the Han cavalry to the base of their legs, and braved the rain to clean up the rain that had risen to the big root. And in the distant sky, there is no muffled thunder, which seems to remind people to be cautious on rainy days, otherwise there will be disaster.
