Chapter 15 Opportunity
More than an hour later, the gate of Ezhou City opened, and several brave sergeants left quickly on horseback. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the same time, several people hurriedly entered and exited the building where Lu Wende was stationed.
Wu Shaogang, who returned to the barracks, had forgotten the conversation with Su Zongcai just now, and what he said to Su Zongcai was all that needed to be considered above, and it had little to do with him, the general of the Urging Army.
Wu Shaogang, who is well versed in the hearts of the people, understands that the analysis he has just made will soon be fed back to the top level, but it will be reflected in the name of Su Zongcai, and this analysis will definitely arouse the attention of Lu Wende, Zhang Sheng and others, and there will definitely be corresponding deployments, or actions, in the future.
If history does not change much, everything will develop according to the situation analyzed by Wu Shaogang.
The temporary moment of stability is coming, and what Wu Shaogang needs to think about is how to gather his own strength in the future.
When Ma Long entered the house, Wu Shaogang was still looking at the map in detail.
This has become one of Wu Shaogang's main lessons, he needs to make a detailed comparison of the ancient and modern terrain, in order to know in his heart, for example, the Ezhou they guarded is Wuchang a few hundred years later, Jiangling Mansion in the west of Ezhou is Jingzhou a few hundred years later, Xiangyang Mansion in the north of Ezhou is Xiangfan a few hundred years later, Qizhou in the east of Ezhou is Qichun County a few hundred years later, Jiangzhou in the southeast of Ezhou is Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province a few hundred years later.
As for Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was Hangzhou a few hundred years later, and Jiankang Mansion, an important town in the Southern Song Dynasty, was Nanjing City a few hundred years later.
"General Wu, the pavilion sent someone to ask for a meeting."
Wu Shaogang raised his head sharply and looked at Ma Long.
The building is the place where Lu Wende, the deputy envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan, is stationed, since it is a person from the museum, it means that it is a person sent by Lu Wende, Lu Wende is in the identity of the matter, and concurrently serves as the deputy envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan, and is a senior official of the fourth grade of the DPRK, and his identity is much higher than Zhang Sheng of the fifth grade, he is just a general under the urging army, how can he attract the attention of Lu Wende from the martial arts of the seventh grade, and Lu Wende has not been in Ezhou City for a long time.
Ma Long's face also had a look of surprise, not to mention Lu Wende, even if it was Gundam and others, they were all amazing existences in his eyes.
"Did anyone say anything?"
"It was said that General Wu was invited to Lujiang Tower for dinner."
Wu Shaogang pondered for a moment, stood up, and walked out of the barracks quickly.
The person who came was a middle-aged Confucian scholar, and it seemed that he should be a strategist beside Lu Wende.
"This is General Wu, under Li Siqi, I heard that General Wu is brave, and I specially invited General Wu to Lujiang Tower for a banquet."
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you Mr. Li for the invitation."
Wu Shaogang still followed Li Siqi alone and went to Lujiang Tower.
Lujiang Tower is one of the most famous restaurants in Ezhou City, and the cost of eating and drinking in such a place is far more than that of ordinary restaurants.
In Ezhou City, unless it is a wealthy family, it will choose such a good restaurant.
Lujiang Tower is in the south of Ezhou City, and the south of Ezhou City, is the concentration of tiles and Goolan, the so-called Tile, is the general name of cinemas, brothels and casinos, etc., the so-called Goolan is the general name of tea houses, restaurants, restaurants, etc., in a word, the south of Ezhou City is the place of entertainment enjoyment.
Because the Mongolian army besieged Ezhou City, the south of the city lost the excitement and hustle and bustle of the past, but there are still a lot of people who come here, especially the army led by Lu Wende and Gundam, after entering Ezhou City, the tense atmosphere in the city has obviously relaxed, and many people have begun to linger in the tiles and hooks again.
At the entrance of Lujiang Building, there is a gatehouse decorated with colored silk, and the colored silk on it is still very new, and it is obviously just replaced.
Entering the store, there is a straight main corridor about 100 steps long, and along the corridors on both sides of the south and north patios, there are small houses, which are places for guests to eat and entertain.
Li Siqi took Wu Shaogang and walked towards the innermost room.
On both sides of the corridor, there are only a small number of singing women, and there are also prostitutes from brothels, waiting for customers.
Wu Shaogang paid a little attention to these women, most of them were wearing heavy makeup and a humble smile on their faces.
In the process of walking into the room, Wu Shaogang had a feeling of paradise.
The beaded curtains, the embroidered doors, the lotus-shaped lanterns under the tiles, the hanging bridges with railings, and the lanterns lit even during the day, this hedonistic atmosphere is more than hundreds of years later.
It is no wonder that the late Southern Song Dynasty poet Lin Sheng wrote a famous poem: Outside the mountain, Qingshan Lou Wailou, when will the West Lake sing and dance be closed. The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou.
Entering the house, a fair-eyed girl was waiting with a stringed piano in her arms.
"General Wu, Qing Niang's little song is good, we will enjoy it in a while."
There was no one else in the room except the young lady.
Wu Shaogang paid attention to the Qing Niang, in fact, she was a little girl who specialized in singing, at most she was in her teens, such a little girl, also known as singing, and the whole was still a trick person.
Qing Niang's appearance is still good, but if she is engaged in this kind of livelihood, if she does not have excellent looks, she will not have any business, and she will always laugh and laugh, and when she meets that kind of gentleman, she doesn't know what the ending is.
The most famous singers in the Southern Song Dynasty are Li Shishi and Xu Xipo and others, but unfortunately these people have long been ancient.
Lu Wende was not in the room, which Wu Shaogang didn't expect, but after thinking about it, as Lu Wende's identity, it is normal not to appear for the time being.
After the two sat down, the young lady also sat down opposite.
Dr. Chafan and Dr. Liquor soon appeared, they were the chefs in the restaurant, and the man followed them and appeared in the room.
Li Siqi didn't say much, and ordered to follow the dishes from the previous time.
A few minutes passed, sheep white sausage, pickled fish, batch cut sheep's head, pork belly lungs, red and white kidneys, beef shutters, ginger and spicy radish and other dishes came up one after another, and the aroma was fragrant.
Wu Shaogang almost spoke, but two people, plus Qingniang, that is, three people, how can they eat so much, this is not extravagant and wasteful.
The wine is Shaoxing Laojiao, also known as daughter red.
Li Siqi took the wine jar, and gently patted the sealing mud at the mouth of the altar with his right hand, and the sealing mud quickly dispersed.
There were four wine bowls on the table, and Li Siqi filled three of them.
The wine poured out has a strong aroma, but the color is close to milky white.
"General Wu, it's rare to have such an opportunity, you have to have a drink today, don't get drunk and don't return, Qingniang, don't always worry about singing, accompany General Wu to drink, and sing a good song of "Book of Mencius" later, let General Wu listen to it."
Wu Shaogang picked up the wine bowl.
In the matter of drinking, Wu Shaogang maintained the style of the soldiers before the crossing, eating meat and drinking in large bowls, whenever he drank in the army, the atmosphere was very strong, if he was not drunk, he really wouldn't let go.
After the crossing, Wu Shaogang paid a lot of attention, after all, his eyes were black, and he was not familiar with anything, if he made a mistake because of drinking, or if he fell into someone else's way after getting drunk, it would not be cost-effective.
Although Wu Shaogang is now, I am afraid that it is not worth such a calculation.
"Mr. Li, I am a soldier, and it is my duty to obey orders, since I am invited by Mr. Li today, I obey the order and will never refuse, how Mr. Li drinks, I will drink, as for the young lady, the body is weak, it is advisable to drink less, I don't know if Mr. Li can agree."
Li Siqi held the wine bowl and looked at Wu Shaogang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"General Wu said well, the so-called Lord does not invite guests and does not drink, this first bowl of wine, in the next dry for respect, as for the young lady, Wu will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, then the young lady will drink less."
Qingniang kept her head down, and when Wu Shaogang said that she should drink less, she looked up and her face was red.
Just after Li Siqi finished drinking, Wu Shaogang also finished drinking the wine in the bowl.
Qing Niang took a small sip.
A bowl of wine in his stomach, Wu Shaogang couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of wine is this, but it is a little higher than the rice wine after a few hundred years.
Suddenly, Wu Shaogang remembered the description of drinking wine in "Water Margin", when Wu Song passed Jingyanggang, he drank eighteen bowls of wine in one go, even if each bowl of wine is half a catty, there are nearly ten catties of wine, and after hundreds of years, I am afraid that no one can drink so much high-grade liquor.
It turns out that the wine of the Southern Song Dynasty is similar to the rice wine hundreds of years later, no wonder you can drink so much.
It can be seen that the ancients drank alcohol more than the modern people hundreds of years later.
However, this kind of rice wine with a high degree of alcohol, if you really drink too much, it is very powerful to get drunk, you must know that red wine drunk is many times more powerful than white wine drunk, and the damage to the body is also greater.
After three rounds of drinking, the young lady began to pluck the strings.
The tactful voice appeared in the room, and the young lady sang the "Book of Mencius", which is also the most widely circulated song today, and it is said to be sung by Zhang Tingsuo, a rap artist during the Huizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Qing Niang's singing voice makes people listen to it very comfortably, while eating and drinking, you can enjoy the music and art, this is indeed a very enjoyable life, but it is a pity that the Mongolian army is pressing, in this case, it is still so enjoyable, how can it be a little unreasonable.
Li Siqi's face was already red, but Wu Shaogang's face did not change.
Secretly, Wu Shaogang thought, I'm afraid that this so-called Shaoxing Laojiao, he drank eighteen bowls, I'm afraid there is no big problem.
Wu Shaogang didn't eat much of the dishes on the table, after all, when he ate with the Confucian scholars, he still had to maintain his image, and he couldn't let people see jokes, after all, this was not eating and drinking in the barracks.
After drinking six bowls of wine, Li Siqi's face was already red.
Wu Shaogang was slightly relieved, it seemed that with Li Siqi's drinking, it was impossible to get him drunk Wu Shaogang.
"General Wu, I can't drink too much, I can't accompany General Wu, I feel a little uncomfortable in my chest, and I will retire temporarily."
Li Siqi looked at Wu Shaogang, his eyes were slightly cloudy, but the slight burst of light could be seen.
When he stood up, he waved to the young lady.
The young lady quickly packed up the strings and stood up.
The two walked towards the outside of the house, Wu Shaogang sat in place and did not move, he knew that the real protagonist was about to appear.
