The Yangtze River in August, the river breeze brings gusts of coolness, a military tent is set up outside the Chibi camp, and there are only dozens of elite soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the two low tables in the military tent are lined up side by side, and there are some refreshing side dishes and fresh fresh fish fillets on the table. ）。 The record of eating sashimi in southern China can be traced back to Zhao Ye's "Wu Yue Chunqiu" in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the "Inner Biography of Helu", after the Wu army broke through the capital of Chu Ying, the king of Wu set up a fish table to comfort Wu Zixu, and Wu had a fish belly, which was 505 BC. The south, especially in the Wuyue region, loves to eat sashimi, for which Qiao Ren's family business even has a soy sauce, the Han Dynasty already has a bean sauce Qing thing, a little improvement can become soy sauce, and the Jiangdong family loves to eat sashimi, since the soy sauce came out, it was all the rage, and it was indispensable to give the Qiao family more inputs.

"Isn't General Guan here yet?" Qiao Ren was dressed in a very formal manner, wearing a light military general's court uniform, which was showing his identity, Guan Yu's official position was that he was a low-level general who was only a six-hundred-stone general, and his grade was only the fifth grade, and he didn't even have the qualifications for the court meeting, of course, there was no so-called court uniform. And Qiao Ren's lowest official position is also the miscellaneous name of 800 stones--- General Zhendong, and at the same time, he is also a former general and Lujiang Taishou with a rank of 2,000 than Jiuqing, and it is not much different from Liu Bei's official position if he carries one casually, if it is an official position for others, it is a joke, but for Liu Bei's subordinates, your lord is known to be loyal to the Han family, and we are canonized by the serious Han court, which is not Qiao Ren or a township.

Lu Ji on the side was just dressed in a casual scribe's uniform, looked at the sun for about an hour and said, "Governor, General Guan will need a quarter of an hour to arrive." ”

"A moment?" Qiao Ren pondered that the time was about the same, and said to Tai Shici: "Brother Ziyi, go to meet General Guan Yu for Ren." ”

"Governor, don't you greet you personally" Lu Ji asked in surprise, Qiao Ren, as the host, should personally greet the guests, if he sent Tai Shi Ci to greet him, it would be a big faux pas.

Qiao Ren smiled slightly, played with the wine bottle in his hand with a matter, and said with a smile: "Guan Yunchang is just a partial general, and this governor can already afford him by sending General Taishi to greet him, so it is difficult to ask this governor to meet him." Hum! ”

Maybe the official position is too low, which is also the biggest embarrassment of Liu Bei's family at present, Cao Cao controls the government and Liu Bei does not share the sky, so he will not kindly promote Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's relationship with Dongwu has become stiff after taking Yizhou, and it is impossible for Dongwu to give him an official, no wonder Liu Bei will proclaim himself the king of Hanzhong in the future, there is really no way. But although theoretically Guan Yu's official position is much lower than Qiao Ren, in fact, Liu Bei and Sun Ce are both princes and allies, and Qiao Ren and Guan Yu are both generals on the pastoral side, and in fact, both of them are the same.

However, from Qiao Ren's flickering gaze, Lu Ji and Tai Shici both understood that this was to give Guan Yu a dismount, and at the same time, in order to provoke Guan Yu, the IQ of an angry person would be reduced. Obviously, Tai Shici was speechless and left, and secretly muttered in his heart how to face Guan Yu, an old friend who had not seen him for more than ten years.

On the riverside, Tai Shici waited for a short time before he saw a row of warships coming down the river from the west, and only the warships of Soochow led them into the temporary warport and laid down the planks.

"Haha! Ziyi, long time no see! Guan Yu is still wearing the Xishu robe, with a green hat, three strands of beauty, and the slightly confused Danfeng eyes reveal a kind of anger. Before entering the port, Guan Yu also said to Yi Yuan that he would give Qiao Ren a face when he got off the ship, but he only saw Tai Shici alone.

Tai Shi Ci greeted him with a wry smile and said, "Brother Yun, don't come unharmed, my brother has been working the rivers and lakes for a long time, and the governor has prepared wine and food, and he is waiting for a table!" ”

The corners of Guan Yu's eyes twitched, and sure enough, Qiao Ren was really sitting in the tent, waiting for Guan Yu to visit. Seeing that Guan Yu was a little violent, Yi Yuan on the side hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Guan Yu's sleeve and gave him a look. Guan Yu then remembered the purpose of this trip, the situation is not up to others, now that Sun Qiang and Liu are weak in Jingzhou, Guan Yu can't be allowed to run wild, and Tai Shici is still on the side, for Guan Yu's rare old friend, he still has to save some face.

Speaking of Guan Yu, he doesn't have many friends, but all of them are elites, Tai Shici of Wu Ying is one, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang of Cao Ying, and Xu Shu is only one in Liu Bei's camp, as for Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, they are brothers.

Seeing that Guan Yu had stabilized his emotions, Tai Shici, who was about to reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, let go of his clenched hands, and stepped forward with a relaxed face: "Brother Yun, please come here." ”

Tai Shici led Guan Yu and his party to the military tent built by Qiao Ren in just half an hour, saying that the military tent was actually a small platform in the open air, surrounded by white cloth on three sides, and facing the river on one side.

"Please!" Qiao Ren finally came out at the right time, made a gesture with one hand, and motioned for Guan Yu to sit down at the table again.

Guan Yu was silent, and took Zhou Cang and Guan Ping straight in, but his guards were stopped by Jia Hua, who was guarding, although there were hundreds of troops around, but Jia Hua said that he would not let these Guan Yu's personal guards get fifty steps close to the military tent.

Just when the two parties were arguing, Guan Yu waved his hand and signaled the guards to retreat, he dared to bring less than 100 people to the camp of the Chibi Wu army, are you afraid that there will be no personal guards? Besides, Guan Yu is very confident, Qiao Ren on the other side has always shown himself as a weak person, and he has never heard of any outstanding martial arts. In fact, Qiao Ren really doesn't have any outstanding martial arts, but he has a sword that sharpens iron like clay and a good swordsmanship, and it is still a bit lethal to hurt people in a small space.

"General Guan, come to this governor to introduce you, General Taishi doesn't mention the two of them, but it is an old acquaintance, this is my general Gan Ning Gan Xingba." Qiao Ren pointed with his right hand, and Gan Ning, who was in his 30s, got up and saluted Guan Yu with a fist, and the bell on his body rang chaotically.

Gan Ning is famous, and he fought side by side with Guan Yu during the Battle of Nanjun, but he has never met, and his attitude towards Guan Yu, a capable general, is still okay, although he is sitting, he also clenches his fists and salutes in return.

"This is the famous man Lu Ji Lu Gongji of Wu County." Qiao Ren then introduced.

Lu Ji got up and saluted very well, but he didn't speak, and he had something to talk about. For literati or this kind of pure literati, Guan Yu has no emotions at all, and he arches his hand perfunctorily and forgets it. Seeing this, Yi Yuan hurriedly jumped out and introduced Zhou Cang and Guan Ping to Qiao Ren, of course, the white-eyed Ma Liang is indispensable, although Ma Liang is only in his twenties, he has a pair of white eyebrows, which is quite conspicuous.

As soon as the banquet began, the two sides had a tacit understanding not to talk about Jingzhou or the Wuxi barbarians, but buried their heads in eating vegetables and even said some interesting things from time to time, as if this was really a banquet. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Qiao Ren's expression finally brightened, he smiled and toasted a glass of water and wine, and said: "I'm not afraid of General Guan's jokes, Ren's martial arts are unbearable and he has been stabbed again, and he has always been frightened when he goes out recently, so he specially asked a friend for a pair of invulnerable inner armor. ”

As he spoke, Gan Ning took out a package from sitting down, opened it and saw that it contained a rattan armor. At this time, Qiao Ren's eyes changed suddenly, and he stood up abruptly and drew Lu Ji's sword. Wow! This action is too provocative, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang were about to draw their swords almost at the same time, but fortunately, Guan Yu pressed his left and right hands on the hilt of the two's swords, joking Guan Yu In his eyes, Qiao Ren was just a literati, and he drew his sword, and he Guan Yu was still afraid.

Qiao Ren smiled and looked at Guan Yu's small movements, and slashed towards Teng Jia on the case, bang, with a dull collision sound, everyone looked at the Teng Jia and was really unharmed, leaving only a cyan mark. Guan Yu's eyes changed, this is a good thing, invulnerable, and he wondered if to get a pair for Liu Bei and several military advisors.
