Chapter 228: Mid-Autumn Festival Gifts

The scribe was taken aback by Sun Ce's actions, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but the soldiers who maintained order reacted quickly, and found that the situation was not right here, and they rushed over, these soldiers were all drawn from the Fourth Legion, and they were deployed here to prevent turmoil at the recruitment site, and they were well-trained to deal with this kind of scene.

However, there is something wrong with today's situation, when the soldiers gathered around and wanted to control the troublemakers, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai all started together, although they were bare-handed, their martial arts were more than one cut higher than these ordinary soldiers, and in a moment of effort, the soldiers lay down in a large area,

Suddenly, the crowd "uproared" out of the way, and a white horse galloped over, and the knight on the horse was dressed in a white robe, holding a silver gun, and shouted: "Who is disturbing here, do you know Changshan Zhao Zilong?" ”

Hearing the shout, those soldiers seemed to have taken stimulants, got up from the ground one by one, picked up knives and guns, and screamed and pounced on Sun Ce and the others again.

Sun Ce didn't dare to really hurt these soldiers just now, so he didn't make a heavy hand, seeing these soldiers rushing over unrelentingly, he didn't feel angry, it happened that a soldier stabbed over with a gun, Sun Ce flashed sideways, and he was able to let go, and as soon as his left hand stretched out, he grabbed the barrel of the gun, and raised his right leg, and kicked the soldier out early, Sun Ce had a spear in his hand, and he was suddenly bold, and the gun shook, stabbed, stabbed, swept, whipped, and wounded four or five soldiers to the ground one after another.

Zhao Yun saw it really well on the horse, and shouted: "Good marksmanship, you are careful, take my trick." ”

It was too late, it was fast, Sun Ce only felt that the white light flashed in front of him, and he hurriedly raised his gun to meet him, but when he heard the sound of "pop", the spear in his hand had been broken into two, and before he could dodge, a silver spear head was already against his throat,

Sun Ce clenched his fists, his eyes widened angrily, his face was full of disberence, the opponent was riding on a horse, from top to bottom, manpower and horsepower, and the weapons in his hands were much better than him, this contest was naturally lost a little unjustly,

Zhao Yun saw Sun Ce's expression, laughed, withdrew the silver gun, threw it to the guards behind him, turned over and jumped off the horse, raised his hand and motioned for the soldiers to take two guns again, took one for himself, and threw another one to Sun Ce.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai had seen Zhao Yun when they were in Luoyang, although they hadn't seen him make a move, but this person could often follow Liu Xin, and his martial arts should be extraordinary, so he couldn't help but sweat for Sun Ce.

At this time, Sun Ce had already taken the spear thrown by Zhao Yun, shook his hand, and stabbed it towards Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was not in a hurry, just gently flicked Sun Ce's gun aside, the two of them fought in one place, these two people are masters of making guns, the gun flower dance is like a windmill, a real needle can not penetrate, water can not enter, the two of them have fought for more than 30 rounds, Zhao Yun has figured out Sun Ce's routine, shouted and suddenly exerted force, piercing, stabbing, winding, ringing, taking, a move is as fast as a move, only to see the cold stars, The silver light shimmers, and the trick is not far from Sun Ce's vital point,

Sun Ce is still just a teenager, he suffered a loss in strength, and he has been lining up here since early in the morning, the grain of rice has not entered, just now Zhao Yun has not gone all out, he is a little unable to parry, and now he has no power to fight back, Zhao Yun's martial arts are originally above Sun Ce, following Liu Xin over the years, and learned some boxing secrets from him, and will be soft and rigid techniques into the marksmanship, not to mention the past comparison, this spear danced up and suddenly soft, forcing Sun Ce to be full of flaws,

The more Cheng Pu and Huang Gai looked at it, the more frightened they became, knowing that Sun Ce was already bound to lose, but they were worried that it would affect Sun Ce's movements, so they couldn't help but shout.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of "dang", the two guns intersected, but a flower gun flew in the air, and in the open space in the field, the tip of Zhao Yun's gun once again pressed against Sun Ce's throat, and shouted in a deep voice: "Do you accept it or not." ”

Sun Ce knew in his heart that the marksmanship he was proud of was too much worse than the young general in front of him, and he didn't feel a little disheartened, his handsome face was full of cold sweat, and he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I, Sun Ce, would be so vulnerable." ”

Zhao Yun had just tried Sun Ce's marksmanship, and he still admired this young man very much, and he had the heart to accept him, but when he suddenly heard him call himself Sun Ce, he couldn't help but change his face, and asked sharply: "You are the Sun Ce who wants to assassinate my lord." ”

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were taken aback when they heard Zhao Yun's question, and they all rushed forward, however, these guards around Zhao Yun were much braver than the soldiers who maintained order just now, and they didn't let them rush to Zhao Yun's side at all, and they had already rushed up and firmly pressed them to the ground.

Sun Ce knew that he was going to die, so the surname Suo held his head high and said loudly: "Yes, Lord Liu has already let me go, what else do you want." ”

Zhao Yun knew that Sun Ce and his party had been released by Liu Xin, but he didn't understand why he came here, and he heard him call him "Lord Liu", which didn't seem to be like continuing to be an enemy of Liu Xin, so he couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "Since my lord has already spared you, why did he come here to disturb the recruiting office again." ”

Cheng Pu softened when he heard Zhao Yun's tone on the side, and hurriedly said: "I waited for the city to come to Luocheng, I sincerely applied for the army, and there is absolutely no malice at all, please General Zhao to investigate." ”

Zhao Yun frowned, turned to Cheng Pu and looked up and down, he had already recognized him as a trusted general beside Sun Jian, how to deal with these people, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to say in a deep voice: "Come here, tie up the three of them, escort them to Xiangyang, and wait for the lord's fate." ”

In the blink of an eye, it is about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Zhang Liao is stationed outside Xuzhou with 5,000 men and horses, more than four months have passed in a flash, every festival is more than a family, Zhang Liao is wandering alone all the year round, it doesn't matter, but the soldiers under his command will inevitably have some homesickness, seeing Tao Qian's body under Zhang Qing's careful treatment, getting better day by day, Zhang Liao moved the mind of leading the troops back to Xiangyang,

Just when Zhang Liao was thinking about how to say goodbye to Tao Qian, suddenly a caravan came to his military camp from Xiangyang, Zhang Liao heard that it was a caravan from Xiangyang, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him, as expected, this caravan was sent by Liu Xin, led by a person who claimed to be the shopkeeper Ding, and he brought a secret letter to Zhang Liao,

Although the princes are divided and the roads are blocked, but the caravan is barely passable, especially the caravan from Jingzhou, they often carry goods that are urgently needed in other places, so they will not be particularly troubled, this caravan is a little different, it is completely composed of phantom spies, but these phantom spies are usually covered by the identity of merchants, so there are no flaws in the checkpoints along the way, this caravan composed of phantom spies came to Xuzhou, and it was a secret mission, That is to find the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country,

Liu Xin explained the identity and mission of this caravan very clearly in the secret letter, and asked Zhang Liao to fully cooperate, so that Zhang Liao's plan to return to his hometown with troops fell through, but Zhang Liao's heart was very excited, the Phantom Secret Spy is a very mysterious organization, which Liu Xin said very clearly in the letter, except for him, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Dian Wei, and Xu Zhu, no one else knew the existence of this organization, even Xu Huang and Zhao Yun did not know, and now, Liu Xin actually told him this top secret, That shows that Liu Xin has absolute trust in him, and Liu Xin also knows that the soldiers are out all the year round, and it is inevitable that they will be tired, and he specially asked the caravan to bring a kind of food to reward the three armies.

This kind of food is called moon cakes, when did the moon cakes begin to circulate in history, there are different theories, some say that it is the Tang Dynasty, some say that it is the Song Dynasty, and more say that it is at the end of the Yuan Dynasty that there are moon cakes, however, Liu Xin can ignore this stubble, he began to try to make moon cakes when he was in the river, and the Mid-Autumn Festival last year has been basically tried to be successful, but it is still limited to the family members of the state pastoral mansion to enjoy, earlier this year, Liu Xin organized people to make a large number of moon cakes, and distributed them to civil and military officials and soldiers who were outside the border, With Liu Xin's surname, naturally he will not forget to send a copy to Zhang Liao who is far away in Xuzhou.

These moon cakes are packaged in exquisite cartons, four in each box, gently open the carton, there is a sweet smell to the nose, Zhang Liao picked up a golden moon cake, round, there are beautiful patterns depicted on it, I couldn't help but put it under my nose and sniffed, but I was reluctant to put it down,

Shopkeeper Ding said with a smile: "General Zhang, you can't eat it now, the lord said that moon cakes need to be eaten on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, while admiring the moon, symbolizing reunion." ”

Zhang Liao smiled embarrassedly and said: "I just think it's novel, pick it up and take a look, but I don't really want to eat it, this moon cake smells very fragrant, I don't know what it feels like to eat it in my mouth, Shopkeeper Ding, you have been in Xiangyang for many years, you must have eaten it, why don't you tell me about it." ”

Shopkeeper Ding's face was embarrassed, and he said: "General Zhang, don't hide it, don't say that you have eaten, even look, I only saw it for the first time today, this time I still want to touch the general's light, and take one to taste." ”

Zhang Liao only then knew that moon cakes were not the specific food of Xiangyang folk to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Liu Xin specially made, ordinary people could not eat, thinking of Liu Xin's task, Zhang Liao couldn't help but use his brain, he knew that Sun Jian was killed in Xuzhou, so the most likely to get the jade seal of the country is nothing more than Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Liu Bei, and the only one who has a close relationship with these three people is Mi Zhu,

In these days in Xuzhou, Tao Qian, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and others often invite Zhang Liao to drink, three said a small banquet, five said a big banquet, one came and went, he and Xuzhou officials have been familiar with each other, and among these people, the closest to Zhang Liao is Mi Zhu,

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Zhang Liao is also thinking about what gifts to give to the officials in Xuzhou, Tao Qian, Chen Deng, Sun Qian, Cao Bao, Zang Ba are easy to do, Zhang Liao sent someone to send him a set of white porcelain, but Mi Zhu there, Zhang Liao gave him a large box of white porcelain and paper when he first arrived in Xuzhou, this time it is obviously not appropriate to send porcelain again, and Mi Zhu's family is very rich, gold, silver, jewelry and other items are not in his eyes at all, seeing the moon cakes in front of him, Zhang Liao suddenly had an idea,
