Chapter Seventy-Six: The Young Guard
Wine is known to be a thousand glasses less.
Since the crossing, Li Yuan's heartstrings have been tight, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest, this time, in the face of the ardent hope of Xin Sheng and other fathers, Li Yuan finally really let go of his mind.
The liquor of the Qin period is different from the clear liquor after evaporation and purification in later generations, but the grain liquor made from corn, and from the color of the liquor, it is mostly turbid, which is distinguished from the general category of later generations and belongs to the category of Chinese rice wine. Due to the years of war and the low yield of corn, wine was a very luxurious thing for the Qin people, and only princes and nobles could use it as an important food for entertaining distinguished guests at banquets.
The need for corn to brew legal liquor is much less than that of liquor distilled at high temperature in later generations, and the production of liquor is simply a large consumer of grain, and grain straw is a lifeline for all parties in the troubled times. Some time ago, Li Yuan also had a mind to send Sima Yin to try the production of liquor, but then he dispelled this idea.
In Xingyang, there are Changyi and Aocang granaries, Li Yuan can also be calm and unhurried, to ensure that there is food in the army, and with the loss of Xingyang, Li Yuan's army is only left with a few small cities in the west of Sanchuan County, and the food crisis of Li Yuan's army begins to appear.
The Qin people are good at drinking, especially the men in the army are addicted to alcohol, and the generals of the Qin army will only be allowed to get the reward of wine when they are fighting hard.
Li Yuan's amount of wine, if it is assessed before the crossing, the liquor has a low degree of four taels to half a catty, and the rice wine takes Shaoxing Jiafan wine as an example, you can take two bottles, and if you have more, you will have to lie down, to be honest, Li Yuan's amount of alcohol is nothing in the era of the national alcohol test. is often forced to get drunk, and Li Yuan is also a common thing.
Now, through 2,000 years ago, Li Yuan's stomach and intestines are as enjoyable as drinking beer for the ancient rice wine with a degree of no more than fifteen, and it is rare for his father to send enough wine, Wang Shang, Cao Xin, Bai Guangji, Luo Jia and other military generals, as well as the strategist Chen is a wealthy man in the wine, and they all let go of their courage at this time.
"Old General Xin, you and I hit it off at first sight, come, do it again!" Chen Ping was already six or seven points drunk, and he was usually resourceful, but he was surrounded by a group of strong men in the army in the wine field, and he had no way to get out, so he had to hide on the side of Xin Sheng, trying to take the opportunity to avoid the limelight.
"Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for many days, how is the little lady in Xianyang City like, let's talk about it with the brothers!" Luo Jia shouted, and hugged Wang Shang, who had just returned from Xianyang City to inquire about information.
As early as on the way back to Luoyang from Xingyang, Li Yuan sent Wang Shang, who had followed him for the longest time, with more than a dozen capable scouts, pretending to be refugees who had fled from the Kanto region due to the war, and sneaked all the way back to Xianyang. Wang Shang is ranked sixth, a person from Xianyang, his resume is very ordinary, and Wang Liu's name can't attract the attention of those ears and eyes under Yan Le's hands.
A civilian, who had been farming by the Zhengguo Canal for generations, was sent to the Kanto region for military service, and then fled back because of the collapse of the army, such a case has been repeated in Guanzhong recently, and those fathers and elders like Xin Sheng are not cherished enough in the face of one after another children who have finally returned, and where will they report to the corrupt and depraved court.
The township clan was the most basic unit of ancient Chinese society, and the effectiveness of the township rules and civil covenants continued until modern times before slowly dying out, while in the Qin period, Wang Shang's clan could cover his past experiences.
Wang Shang was in Xianyang for more than a month, and the intelligence he brought back made Li Yuan very excited, as Li Yuan's army advanced on the horizon, as more and more Guanzhong counties joined the ranks of Zhao Gao, in Xianyang City, the invincible Zhao Cheng Prime Minister began to panic, in addition to ordering Yan Le to speed up the conscription, he began to search for dissidents in the city, especially to strengthen the surveillance of the original royal personnel, as soon as there was any change, he would be imprisoned or directly killed.
The rebellion and the separation.
Zhao Gao began to taste the pain of the enemies all around, and gradually in the frenzy, he raised the killing butcher knife.
Five days ago, the eunuch in the palace ordered Han Tan to be ensnared by Zhao Gao, and then after a day and a night of torture, Han Tan died in prison, which caused a great chaos that affected the entire Xianyang City.
Before the curtain of terror was about to open in Xianyang, Wang Shang, under the cover of his clansmen, smoothly arrived in Li Yuan's palace from Leyouyuan in the west of Xianyang.
Leyouyuan, this place was the most famous in the Tang Dynasty, because it is not far from Chang'an, it has gradually become a place for some dignitaries to go out, the most famous of which is a poem by Li Shangyin: to the evening when you are unwell, drive to the ancient plain, the sunset is infinitely good, but it is nearly dusk. The ancient plains in this poem are the original of Leyou.
In the Qin Dynasty, this famous ancient plain was still a wilderness and uninhabited. Wang Shang was a local and was very familiar with the landscape, and because of this, he was able to escape from the tightly sealed capital.
Wang Shang, Luo Jia, Jiang Yu and other young generals at the time of the reorganization of Luoyang gathered together, looking at the inexplicable excitement on their faces, Li Yuan felt that his heart was also extraordinarily happy.
With a flick of his fingers, it has been eight months since he came to the end of Qin by accident, from a penniless little military marquis, to a lieutenant who was in charge of an elite army at the beginning, and then to a general who commanded an army of tens of thousands, Li Yuan was constantly adapting to his identity, and at the same time, the desire for power and glory also began to make him think about it.
Without the benefits of more gold fingers, what if you can break out of the world with a pair of iron palms?
There are not countless celebrities and generals who are like-minded, what can we do, Luo Jia, Wang Shang, Jiang Yu, Bai Guangji, Cao Xin, these unknown people who have been submerged in the long river of history, are now gathering around him, this group of young young guards, is writing their own legends with youth and blood?
Iron-blooded Great Qin, I'm coming, I'm conquering.
The wine was drunk one after another, and gradually, Li Yuan also became a little drunk.
The night was thick, under the support of Li Bi, Li Yuan stumbled to his sleeping tent, in his impression, from the Chinese army tent to the sleeping tent, the distance was only more than a hundred steps, not very far, but, after walking for a long time, he was dizzy and he began to hear Li Bi call.
In the sleeping tent, a pair of slender jade hands stretched out and pulled the drunk and hazy Li Yuan in.
