A trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, and a trip to the side of Yuguan. It was evening when we reached the boundary of Luoyang, the sky was hazy, there was a drizzle, the breeze was blowing, and the rain hit the face coldly. In order to save trouble, Liu Qing took everyone to live in the Linxian Yanshi in Luoyang, which is backed by Luoshui and close to Luoyang, where many dignitaries and dignitaries also live.

Liu Qing searched for and interrogated, and finally picked an old house with exquisite decoration, a cross-courtyard connected to three guest rooms, and a few peach trees planted outside the door of the main room.

A few people packed their luggage at home, and Liu Qing went to wander the streets. It was getting dark and it was raining again, and many of the shops had already closed their stalls and gone home. I happened to see a lot of people standing at the door of a restaurant, one person stood on the top of the steps and spit flying, and the people below listened very seriously, but no one whispered. Liu Qing was also very curious, so he approached to listen.

There were a lot of people listening, Liu Qing only occupied a peripheral seat, and a person in front of him shouted: "This is a big deal for my big man!" General Huangfu's trip shows the prestige of my Han army! Many people should agree with it.

The man on the steps deliberately stirred up his appetite and said, "How did General Dao Huangfu do it?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in confusion, looking at the man in the hope that he would say more. The man had his stomach satisfied, but he would not say any more, until the people handed him the money and begged him to continue.

He pretended to be extremely cautious, and said softly as if he was saying something earth-shattering: "The thief kingdom surrounded Chen Cang, from winter to spring, for more than eighty days, the city was fortified, and it was not captured after all. The thieves' troops were exhausted and had to break the siege on their own. General Huangfu commanded the troops to attack. Before the battle, he confidently said that this battle should be a complete victory. ”

Everyone was puzzled: "Why didn't you send troops before, but you sent troops at this time?" ”

The man said, "Yes! This is the genius of General Huangfu, he said: 'In the past, we did not attack, but to avoid their sharpness; The attack is now when their morale is already low. We are currently attacking the exhausted army, not the 'return to the people', the kingdom's troops are about to flee, they have no fighting spirit, they are not 'poor men', and sure enough, more than 10,000 people have been beheaded, and the thief has also been beheaded off the horse! ”

When everyone heard this, they shouted: "General Huangfu is really a famous general of the Han Dynasty!" It seems that I have no worries in Liangzhou since then! ”

Liu Qing listened to a rough idea, and what he said was probably about Huangfu Song's pacification of the rebellion in the Liangzhou Kingdom, this guy learned vividly, and the people who listened to it were interested, but these people didn't know the inside of it, and they missed a very key figure - Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo at this time is still the former general, Huangfu Song extinguished the Yellow Turban to punish Zhang Jiao, the merit is world-over, the world, the imperial court in order to divide his military power, let him and Dong Zhuo each lead 20,000 people Pingliang, in this battle, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song have a deep grudge, with the military merits of this battle, Dong Zhuo was able to seal the state pastor in the second year, and the troubled times to be called into Beijing began from this.

After another while, it was said that Liu Yu rode into Xianbei alone, and Xianbei deeply felt that Liu Yu's virtue led the crowd to surrender, and Wang Zheng killed Zhang Chun. It's a slight exaggeration compared to the facts, but it's still true on the whole. Liu Qing couldn't help but feel the insignificance of the individual compared to the vast river of history, what should happen will happen after all, everything is going on according to the established trajectory of history, and he suddenly feels powerless, and thinks that he has changed the lives of a few people such as Zhou Tai and Chen Wu, and he is a little complacent, the Eastern Han Dynasty is still the Eastern Han Dynasty, will the Three Kingdoms still be the Three Kingdoms? What about the five nonsense? No, this kind of person must not be allowed to happen like pigs and sheep, according to the time in history, Emperor Ling will die in April, and he has to do something.

The more I think about it, the more I admire the power of those predecessors, and in a few days, the world's generals have come to vote, and they have leveled the world in a few years, why are they still a county lieutenant after a long time? That's it, life is not easy, crossing is even more difficult, drinking first. So I went to the shop and bought some wine and went back to my small courtyard.

In the courtyard, Song Qian and Chen Wu were still bickering, and Zhou Tai looked at the two of them with interest on the side, and came to stir up the fire from time to time.

Liu Qing put the wine on the table and said with a smile: "Drink some wine to moisten your throat and make noise." ”

Several of them were drunkards, and Ma Marili took the feather and poured it into his mouth, and for a while he only heard the sound of his throat.

After drinking a few times in a row, Chen Wu burped: "Good wine." This Luoyang wine is fragrant! ”

Song Qian rarely echoed Chen Wu: "It's not! The northerners mainly use sorghum and corn to make wine, while we in the south use rice, you are used to drinking grain wine, this wine is the price of the lord is estimated to be expensive, the grain is used, and it is naturally delicious. ”

These words reminded Liu Qing that these ancients drank a few catties at every turn, and the amount of alcohol was terrifying, but if you think about it carefully, these wines are not our modern distilled spirits, the degree is high and spicy, the wine they drink is grain fermented wine, the rice wine has a low degree and the entrance is sweet and has no alcohol taste, it is similar to drinking a drink, and it is not uncommon to drink a few catties.

Early the next morning, Liu Qing went to buy a lot of the same rice wine, distilled it a little with some rudimentary equipment, and pinched the head and tail to take the heart of the wine. Chen Wugang got up and said curiously, "Lord, what are you doing?" The smell of wine in the courtyard is fragrant, didn't you buy good wine again? ”

Liu Qing said with a smile: "Buying is buying, and the wine is also good wine, but it's not what you mean, it's the one in my hand." What do you think? Do you want to try it, it's different from all the wines you've drunk before. ”

Chen Wu said unbelievingly: "Lord, my Chen Zilie has drunk not hundreds of wines, but dozens of them, and there are still those I have never tasted." ”

Liu Qing smiled: "There is no basis for what you say. Drink this cup to the fullest. ”

Chen Wu took the cup, like drinking the wine before, drank it all, and as soon as the wine in the cup bottomed out, he couldn't help jumping spicy, jumping three feet high. Hurriedly went to drink a few sips of water, stuck out his tongue, exhaled from his nostrils and mouth, wrinkled his nose and said, "The lord really admires it." I haven't really drunk this wine, what kind of wine is it? Why is it so spicy in the mouth, and there is an aftertaste after swallowing for a long time, which makes people full of fragrance. Wine! Wine! ”

"Zirang, Youping, quickly come out and taste the new wine made by the lord. It's delicious! ”

"Is this the new wine of the lord?" Zhou Tai and Song Qian went out and picked up the cup when they heard this.

"Exactly! This wine is different from other wines, and you have to drink it in one sip to know its taste. ”

"Oh? There is such a secret recipe, I'll try it first. …… Chen Zilie, deceiving people too much, hissed...... Hiss, spicy...... Spicy"

Everyone took the first sip of the spicy internal organs, but they still wanted to drink it after swallowing it, and immediately drank a few more mouthfuls. Chen Wu was already light when he walked, and he said in his mouth: "Good wine!" Wine! Again! Again! "I didn't take a few steps before I fell asleep.

Seeing this, Liu Qing nodded, it seems that the strength and taste of the wine are okay, and the next thing is how to sell it.
