After the three of them sat down, Guo Sheng toasted Ximenqing and Lu Fang with a bowl of wine, and then said: "Just now, the junior brother asked Brother Ximenqing a word - it turns out that Brother Ximenqing will still scold?" ”

Lu Fang tilted his head and thought about it: "That's true, but what?" ”

Guo Sheng slapped his leg and smiled: "What's the matter?" The little brother is an authentic Sichuan person! Xichuan Jialing people! ”

Ximen Qing already knew it in his heart, but he still pretended to be surprised and said: "It turns out that Brother Guo Shengxian is actually from Xichuan Jialing?" But your pronunciation is very standard! ”

Guo Sheng sighed deeply and said, "The official language of the junior brother was learned from my master. My master's surname is Zhang, he is under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of the Jialing Department, he is an official and upright, and he is not allowed to be an officialdom, and one year he went down to inspect and found out how much military rations were missing in a warehouse, so he traced it up, and the result was that all the people who should have been killed were fine, but my master was charged with negligence, and a piece of paper was dismissed! ”

"It's hard for a good person to live!" Ximenqing sighed and drank a bowl of wine with Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng wiped his face, maybe it was to wipe the wine splashed on his face, or maybe it was to wipe the tears that fell quietly from his eyes, Ximen Qing and Lu Fang both lowered their heads and did not look at him.

Maybe it was because he drank too much wine, Guo Sheng's voice was a little hoarse: "Although my master is a martial artist, he is a clean official who is even more ineffective than a literati!" Don't drink the blood of the soldiers, don't loot the people's fat and ointment, after the dismissal, he didn't even have the entanglement to return to his hometown, so he ended up in Jialing. Fortunately, the common people are grateful, and the fathers and elders of this department came forward and asked him to be a teacher in the village, teaching the children to practice Chinese hyphenation and practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. ”

Ximen Qing and Lu Fang were both in awe: "It turns out that Senior Zhang is still an all-rounder in civil and military affairs!" ”

Guo Sheng said slowly: "Brothers, you should call my master an old man Zhang." That year, he was fifty-nine years old, and his beard and hair were gray. ”

Ximen Qing was stunned and said, "Don't the seniors Zhang have no children?" ”

Guo Sheng's eyes were a little hazy, and he replied unexpectedly: "My master sometimes sings a song, and I still remember the words!" As he spoke, he began to sing: "Fifteen from the army, eighty from the beginning." Daofeng villagers: 'Who is there in the family?' ''Looking at it from afar, it is the Jun family, and the pine and cypress mounds are numerous. 'The rabbit enters from the dog's sinus, and the pheasant flies from the beam. The atrium is born in the valley, and Inoue is born in the valley. Chung Gu holds for cooking, and picks sunflower for soup. The soup is cooked for a while, and I don't know who Yi'a is. When I went out to look east, tears stained my clothes. ”

In the bland singing, there is an indescribable desolation. After the singing stopped, Lu Fang got up and silently filled the wine bowls of the three of them.

Ximen Qingxin said: "It turns out that this old Zhang senior is a dead man, and he himself is also a person with a story. ”

The hall fell silent, and only the noise of the minions scribbling and gambling and drinking could be heard in all directions. After a while, Guo Shengcai said: "In my younger brother's family, he is a merchant selling mercury, and he is the most despised by Shi Nong. But my master has never looked down on me, he saw that I was a little smart, he was quiet during the day, but at night he quietly taught me the art of war and martial arts, as well as the principles of life, and this Zhongzhou official dialect is also the benefit left to me by his old man. ”

Lu Fang's eyes tightened: "Could it be that Senior Zhang ...... him?" ”

Guo Sheng nodded: "Three years ago, the master had already passed away!" ”

There was silence in the hall again, Ximen Qing and Lu Fang both stood up respectfully, clenched their fists into the air, raised their wine and drained the ground, and Guo Sheng got up to return the salute.

After returning to his seat, Guo Sheng said: "The little brother's eighteen-way crescent halberd was learned from my master. I also wondered, how could my master make a halberd? And this road halberd method, the routine is simple, and it is definitely not newly created in these years. ”

Ximen Qing groaned: "But I don't know where Zhang's predecessor is in Xianxiang? ”

Guo Sheng said: "I occasionally heard the master say that he was a native of Yanmen Mayi, and he failed to take the exam in the capital. After the dismissal, others asked him about his life experience in detail, and he always shook his head, only saying that it was insulting to his ancestors, and he didn't say much. ”

"Yanmen Mayi?!" Ximen Qing raised his eyebrows, "Isn't Senior Zhang the general of the Three Kingdoms Wei Dynasty after the Eastern Expedition, the Marquis Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Sheng was surprised and delighted, and asked, "How can Brother Ximenqing see it?" ”

Ximen Qing said: "I think that back then, Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, and the army of Heqi was empty, and Sun Quan took the opportunity to raise 100,000 soldiers to besiege Heqi City. Seeing that it was difficult to defend Hexi, the guard Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan resolutely rose up, gathered 800 strong men, feasted on wine, and swore to break Wu. In the early morning of the second day, Zhang Liao put on armor and held a halberd, took the lead in the battle, killed dozens of people, beheaded two generals, shouted his name, rushed into the base, and eight hundred strong men followed closely and killed directly under Sun Quan. Although Sun Quan had the courage to shoot tigers, he was also intimidated by Zhang Liao's murderous spirit, and fled to a high mound with his personal guards, defending himself with a long halberd. Zhang Liao fought under the mound, and the power did not dare to move, and the Wu army was all angry. ”

Lu Fang Guo Sheng applauded when he heard it: "Strong! A good man should be like this! So are those who have aspirations! ”

Ximenqing continued: "Sun Quan saw that Zhang Liao had few soldiers on the high mound, so he commanded the soldiers and horses to surround Zhang Liao. But Zhang Liao clashed left and right, moved forward bravely, and led dozens of people under his command to break out. The remnants cried out: 'The general has abandoned me!' Zhang Liao turned over and came back, rushed through a bloody road, and pulled out everyone. The divine power is so powerful that Sun Quan's army is invincible, and no one dares to be its front. ”

Lu Fang Guo Sheng was enthusiastic when he heard this, and he raised several bowls of wine.

Ximenqing said again: "From the early morning battle to noon, the Wu people were angry. Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation to retreat to Heqi, the Cao army in the city thundered, and everyone bravely defended the city, although Sun Quan was annoyed and ashamed and attacked for more than ten days in a row, Heqi City still stood still. Sun Quan saw that things were not harmonious, so he thought of retreating, who knew that just after pulling out the village, Zhang Liao led his troops to attack again, like a thunderbolt in the sky, and intercepted into the Wu army's main formation, and came to capture Sun Quan. If it weren't for Sun Quan's horse and flying over the Xiaoshi Bridge, a life would have been sent to Xiaoyaojin. This battle is called Zhang Liaowei Zhen Xiaoyaojin, Zhang Wenyuan broke 100,000 in 800, only to kill Dongwu frightened, hearing Zhang Liao's name, even children did not dare to cry at night. ”

When Lu Fang Guo Sheng was full of praise, Ximenqing suddenly said: "I think Zhang's predecessors are also from Yanmen Mayi, and he has a family heirloom, and he is proficient in the art of war, if he is not a descendant of Zhang Wenyuan, I Ximenqing will not believe it first!" ”

Guo Sheng was pleasantly surprised: "Is my master really the queen of Huchen?" ”

Ximen Qingcai didn't care whether he was or not, he put the light wheel on the senior first, and then said, "Reasoning, seven or eight times out of ten, the old predecessor Zhang is after the tiger minister!" ”

Lu Convenient smiled and said: "Congratulations Brother Guo, today you have a word from the three strange sons, and tomorrow the old man Zhang will be famous behind him, and he will be admired by the younger children!" ”

Ximen Qing daxiao said: "Brother Lu Fangxian is the descendant of Wenhou from another generation, and Brother Guo Shengxian is a disciple of Ganghou, it turns out that the two of them were people for a while eight hundred years ago, so this is called a fate to come together thousands of miles away!" ”

In the laughter, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng glanced at each other, the two had the same mind, and Guo Sheng bowed to Ximenqing: "Brother Ximenqing, the younger brother has something to ask for!" "This is exactly what it is:

Thousands of years of green mountains bury loyal bones, and the bright moon shines on the souls of heroes through the ages. But I don't know what Guo Sheng has to ask for, and listen to the next decomposition.
