Chapter 42: Acquaintance
"Little Er, another pot of fine wine-"
"Guest—wait—coming soon—"
"Fengxiao, you drink less, why are you still so addicted to alcohol? What's the takeaway from this study tour—" a slightly older man said to the young man at the table.
"Brother Zhongde, we finally ran into a piece, can you not be so disappointing? It's not that you don't know that I don't have any hobbies, but I just like to drink. Recently, I found that the wine at Biyuexuan Restaurant is more fragrant than other places, and it is not a big deal to drink a few more glasses. Coming out of the academy, all I saw was that everything was withering, the people were not able to make a living, and many people were unable to eat enough and began to sell their children and daughters. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials deceive their superiors and subordinates, bandits and bullies are rampant, and there is a miasma of smoke everywhere in the township, alas--bitter wow, bitter wow, it's better to drink more and come to a toast-" The young man who spoke was named Guo Jiazi Fengxiao, and with him was a classmate of the academy named Cheng Yuzi Zhongde. Since the two left the academy last year to travel all over the country, they happened to meet in Luoyang today and drank together in Biyue Xuan.
"Who's to say it's not? In vain, I have no ambition to serve the country, forget it - drink" Cheng Yu was also saddened by Guo Jia's words, since he left the academy, he hurried to the Luoyang Government Office to participate in the recommendation, with his full stomach and economy, he will definitely get an official and a half position, how do you know that he was slapped hard by reality, if you want to be an official, you can pay for it, if you don't have money, then I'm sorry to talk about it. Cheng Yu specializes in criminal practice and is familiar with the law, originally thought that he would start from a small official by himself, first clear a small place and then slowly expand, and he would be able to return a big man to a prosperous future in his lifetime.
"Hehe-Brother Zhongde, I said that this court is hopeless, you still don't believe it? Reality lets you know you're wrong, right? It's just a pity that we have this ability? Alas - Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have wow! Come on-do-" The more Guo Jia spoke, the more excited he became, he raised his glass and drank it all, but no one could understand the bitterness in his heart, why didn't he want to get ahead, why didn't he want to be known to the world, but when was this world a head!
"Two guest officers, your good wine and good food are here-" The shopkeeper carried a plate of good wine and food and put it on the table of Guo Jia and Cheng Yu.
"Little Er, are you mistaken? We haven't ordered any of these things—" Although Guo Jia had drunk a lot of wine, his head was indeed unusually sober, and his first feeling about the wine and food that suddenly came up was that the shopkeeper had made a mistake.
"Guest, that's right—it was the boy at the table who ordered it for the two of you—please use it slowly!" The shopkeeper cleaned up the table and removed the plates he had eaten.
"Two, take the liberty to disturb the two, I don't know if I can conspire with the two of you to get drunk." It was none other than Zhou Yu who spoke, he arranged for Zhou An to stare at the Oiran and Talent Contest, while Shi A was to establish a team that could only collect intelligence, assassination, and disguise according to the guiding ideology he gave, and only he came to Biyuexuan to find a table to sit down and drink tea when he had nothing to do, and by the way to see everyone's attitude towards the competition.
"Please take a seat—thank you brother for your hospitality—" Cheng Yu hurriedly invited Zhou Yu to sit down.
"Two, meeting is fate, come - a toast! Do it first for respect-" Zhou Yu raised his wine glass and drank it all after speaking, when he came to this world, he drank the same wine and water here, it was not good at all; At the beginning, he was still a young person with a casual attitude towards wine, but later opened a restaurant before he remembered the distillation method of later generations to make wine, and the taste of the wine was raised, this kind of wine is brewed with sorghum, the color of the wine is a little reddish, Zhou Yu simply didn't bother to name it, and it was directly called red sorghum.
"Meeting is fate—right—dare to ask what Brother Tai is called?" Guo Jia carefully recited what Zhou Yu said, and when he saw that Zhou Yu was so good and just had a temper with him, he raised his wine glass and asked.
"In the next surname Zhou, the single word is Yu, the word is Gongjin, I don't know the name of the two brothers Taigao?" Zhou Yu also saw that the two of them talked and behaved extraordinarily, and they thought that they were also young talents who came to participate in the talent competition.
"Ahem—what? Are you Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin? Are you Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin? The one who single-handedly saved the prince and beat the watchdog with a drunken fist? Guo Jia was choked when he heard Zhou Yu say his name, Zhou Yu's name was thunderous after he came to Luoyang, and he was also a legend among young talents.
"Zhou Yu Zhou Gongjin? Luoyang Ling's son, the current prince's companion, was the captain of the city gate and the Sima of the city gate, and he protected the prince from danger alone, and later beat the general Wang Bi because he was drunk and late, insulted the former general He Miao, and was deprived of his white body by the general He Jin and the prince Liu Xie. The sugar gourd in the streets and alleys is from the hands of Zhou Gongzi, and I also said that one thing I missed was that two years ago I gambled with Yuan Shu three times to save an unknown person, two wins and one victory. "Cheng Yu's occupational disease is a crime, and he told Zhou Yu's deeds all over the place.
"Stop-the two of you are really praised, a little thing is not enough to worry about, now I am a white body, there is no Zhou Gongzi and the prince to accompany me today, and I only have one friend Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin." Zhou Yu looked at the expressions of the two of them and couldn't laugh a little, is he really that famous? Even he didn't think he was so powerful!
"Brother Gongjin, it's really refreshing-I'm Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao likes it, I've made up your friend - come, come, come, drink-" Guo Jia took the initiative to pour Zhou Yu full of wine, raised his wine glass and drank to Zhou Yu, he has seen a lot of people in so many days, but being able to treat him as a scholar is Zhou Yu, Guo Jia's heart is moved!
"Come-come together, my name is Cheng Yu, and Zhongde will also respect Gongjin and Brother Jin together." Cheng Yu also raised his glass.
"Click-click-" Guo Jia and Cheng Yu's words hit Zhou Yu's heart like two muffled thunderbolts, and he was stunned on the spot, his mind blank. Guo Jiazi Fengxiao, Yingchuan Yangzhai people. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was one of the famous strategists under Cao Cao's account, and was known as a ghost. The march was so imaginative that it was impossible to find a trace. Guo Jia was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao, and later switched to Cao Cao under the recommendation of Xun Yu, and made meritorious contributions to Cao Cao's unification of northern China. He died of illness during Cao Cao's expedition to Karasuma at the age of thirty-eight. He is called the Marquis. The history books called him "a genius and a strategist, a strange man of the world", and Cao Cao praised him for his insight, and he was his "Qizuo". There was such a sentence among the people that Guo Jia would not die, and Wolong would not come out. It can be seen that Guo Jia's talent can basically be equal to Zhuge Liang, who is almost a demon. Another Cheng Yu is also famous in history, Cheng Yu is Zhongde, a native of Dong'e, Dongjun County, Yanzhou, and an important strategist and minister of Cao Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His real name is Cheng Li, and he changed his name to Cheng Yu because he was holding the sun in Mount Tai in his dream. He once led the people to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Dong'a. Later, it was conquered by Cao Cao as Shouzhang Ling, and since then he has made suggestions for Cao Cao and fought in all directions. When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu stayed in the rear, blocked the armies of Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and kept the three cities. After Cao Cao moved Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xudu, he appointed Cheng Yu as Shangshu, and later as the general of Dongzhong Lang, leading Jiyin Taishou and supervising Yanzhou affairs. After pacifying Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, he worshiped as General Fenwu and was named the Marquis of Anguo Pavilion. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, worshiped Cheng Yu as a guard lieutenant, and entered the Marquis of Anxiang. Died in the same year at the age of 80, Cao Pi also shed tears for it, posthumously presented the general of the chariot, and called Su Hou. Cheng Yu is considered to be the longest-lived strategist under Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's famous strategists include Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu. However, Cao Cao's start and development were inseparable from the assistance of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, which allowed Cao Cao to eliminate his opponents and quickly grow and become a prince.
"Gong Jin-" Cheng Yu pushed Zhou Yu, who was a little stunned, both of them raised their wine glasses for a long time, but Zhou Yu just held the glass and didn't know what he was thinking? Zhou Yu suddenly met the two most important strategists in Cao Cao's life, and the shock and joy in his heart gave him a huge impact.
"I'm sorry - two brothers, the younger brother is a little distracted, come, the younger brother will punish himself for a drink-"
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the three of them chatted from Tiannan to the north of the earth, Zhou Yu's accumulation of thousands of years of history and culture made Guo Jia and Cheng Yu dizzy. When there are a thousand glasses of wine for confidants, Zhou Yu opened two upper rooms for Guo Jia and Cheng Yu to live in, and he sent the two back to the room and sat alone in the corridor in a daze, he was thinking about how to fool these two talents into working for himself under his hands? Distressed!
