The laughter of the two attracted the attention of everyone at the foot of the east staircase. Uncle Tang beckoned: "It's cooked, you can come to eat." The two got up, Zeng Ji looked at the three swords in front of his knees, and after thinking about it, the three-edged sword was still in his sleeve, and the two swords he had just given were inserted into his waist, one left and one right. Seeing him like this, Zhang Yu knew that he had already mastered the second sword, and he was also relieved. The two walked to the fire, and a coachman smiled and said, "Brother Zeng wears two swords, similar to a Qin swordsman." ”

Zeng Ji said with a smile: "You don't know that my lord is Qin envoy Yu Hanhu!" is a swordsman, and it hurts! ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. When Zhang Yu heard the word "swordsman", his heart moved, and he was thoughtful.

The two joined the gang, and Zeng Ji was in the way because of the coerced sword, so he pulled out the second sword and put it in front of his knee. Zhang Yu observed silently, silently.

Uncle Tang said: "If your second son agrees or not, when will you set off, how can we help?" ”

Zeng Ji looked at Zhang Ji, Zhang Yu bowed his head, and motioned for Zeng Ji to answer. Zeng Ji said: "Dare to ask Brother Tang for help, I will go out tonight, and go to my place with me, thinking that it is traffic." When the matter is decided, I am willing to convey it to Brother Zhang and the king. ”

Uncle Tang was silent for a moment and said, "That's it! Brother is a chivalrous man, and he returns at night with a group of friends, and everyone thinks it is normal. When it comes to adding Brother Zhang, there will be no suspicion. ”

Pointing to the three of them: "You and the other three can follow Brother Zeng." "The three of them are in charge.

The scent on the fire is getting stronger and stronger. A Tang clan shouted: "Incense is ready, can you get it and eat it?" ”

Uncle Tang said: "Ready, ready!" Beckoned everyone to come around, unveiled the retort, put it aside, and said to everyone: "Take the bowl and take the bowl from the sauce, and the vinegar is ......" All the Tang clans seemed to have a long history, and they all moved in an orderly manner, only Zhang Yu, Zeng Ji and Lü Buwei did not know what it was: they had never eaten like this. But seeing Tang's skillful movements, he didn't ask questions, just learned to take a bowl, took a bowl, took a cup, and made a little sauce and vinegar in the bowl. The bowl of sauce and vinegar brought by Lu Xing was quite rich, and everyone had a bowl in their hands, and there was still a surplus in the basket. Then he sat down with a bowl around the mustache. Uncle Tang pulled out a small dagger from his waist, and everyone passed the bowl over in turn. Uncle Tang cut the rice one by one, and each bowl was very even, and what was even more peculiar was that when the last bowl was full, the rice was exhausted. Uncle Tang took the bowl from the left, handed it to the right after serving, and rotated it in turn. This last bowl of rice happened to be his own.

Removing the retort, Uncle Tang moved the vegetable pot, grabbed a handful of vegetables, threw them into the mustache without asking the variety, and then fished it out with a long chopstick, and when the chopstick was stretched, it was placed in a pot; Then grab the next handful and do the same. One handful per person, and it was just enough to divide the dishes, which was really amazing. The meal was finished, some people put out the fire, some people brought water, some people took bowls, Uncle Tang scooped up sake, saluted everyone, and said: "Today, we are waiting, eating together, walking together, there is no help, we share weal and beyond, and life is unswerving!" The crowd was in an uproar.

After drinking three rounds of sake, the vegetable soup in the mustache was slightly cool, Uncle Tang re-held the spoon, one person took the bowl, one person conveyed, and the soup was served for everyone in turn, each person had a big bowl, and there was still a surplus in the mustache. Zhang Yu and others looked at the food and soup in front of him, and felt that Tang's extraordinary, not equal to idle and reckless, his behavior is also different from Zeng's, Lu's, etc., there is a feeling of being reckless and reckless, like a family; At the same time, I admired Uncle Tang's sharp feeling.

Uncle Tang said: "Let's eat!" And they took up their bowls and took food with their hands. Although Zhang Yu is not very particular, he usually eats with a dagger and a spoon, but now when he looks at everyone, he grabs the food directly with his hands, and directly picks up the bowl to drink, feeling very uncomfortable; looked at Zeng Ji and Lu Buwei, and found that they were also eating with their hands, very helpless, thinking, if they knew this, they should wash their hands with water. When it came to the end, it was not easy to take out the dagger, so I had to endure the discomfort in my heart and eat and drink directly.

Zeng Ji sat next to him, seemed to see something, patted Zhang Yu's arm lightly, and motioned him to stop. He walked up to the branch that he had chopped off, folded a few small sticks, rubbed the dry skin, and shouted: "If you want to chopstick, you can do it!" He handed two to Zhang Yu. The two Tang coachmen also ran over to ask for sticks, and Lu Buwei also came over and took the sticks in Zeng Ji's hands away. Zeng Ji laughed and scolded: "Lazy, everyone! There are so many of them, and they don't work themselves! The crowd laughed, and a few of them ran over and broke branches to use as chopsticks. Uncle Tang didn't care, and still ate with his hands. Zhang Yu looked around, and immediately found that eating with chopsticks can quickly reveal the identity of the eater: those who are elegant and skilled in using chopsticks obviously don't usually use their hands much, and they are about everyone; And those who use chopsticks to deflat their hands and feet, obviously they haven't used chopsticks much, but they can still use them, and their family background may be acceptable; And those who can only eat with their hands naturally come from poor families.

He subconsciously glanced at Zeng Ji, who belonged to a group of people who were skilled in using chopsticks. With this thought, I immediately realized that the short brown on Zeng Ji's body looked very ridiculous. Zhang Yu reminded himself that if he appeared as a slut, he must remember to eat with his hands.

looked at Uncle Tang again, he grabbed rice with his hands and ate with relish; But he will definitely use chopsticks, no, just a cover-up.

Zhang Yu himself has nothing to hide, as a guest of Xinling Jun, it is impossible for him to eat with his hands. He simply pulled out the dagger, cooperated with the small wooden stick handed to him by Zeng Ji, and ate it in the most graceful way.

No one looks at themselves strangely. Zhang Yan came to a conclusion.

During the banquet, only Lu Bojie came in to toast for a while, and the Lu brothers had been hanging out with other coachmen. There were many coachmen, and those with heads and faces were invited to the main courtyard, and the others sat inside and outside the west courtyard. Although it is not as rich as the east courtyard, there is no shortage of categories, and everyone is satisfied, especially after getting half a stone of grain, there is also a good meal, and everyone's face is red with excitement. Everyone remembers that this was a reward from King Xinling.

Zhang Yu and the Lu brothers had to take two cars back to the city. After entrusting the car to the Lu brothers to settle it on his behalf, Zhang Yu ran directly into the lieutenant's mansion. The courtyard was very quiet, and it seemed that all the people who lived in the courtyard had left. But under the courtyard tree, five of Mr. Zhongyue's disciples surrounded Zhongyue in the middle and listened to what he had to say. Hearing the sound of the door, I saw that Zhang Yu turned behind the wall, and several people stood up. Zhang Yu asked, "But Mr. Liu?" ”

Mr. Zhongyue said, "Yes." All the gentlemen went to the east with Wei Jun. ”

Zhang Yu asked, "What about the military?" ”

Mr. Zhong Yue waved his hand, led Zhang Yu to the front of the steps, avoided a few of his disciples, and then said, "The Qin people are coming, and the doctor has retreated. The gentleman asked the military envoy about many things, but he was vague, but he led Mr. Zhu to the front camp to investigate carefully. ”

Zhang Yu said: "It's been a long time? ”

Mr. Zhongyue said: "After returning to the city, I will set off, and I think it has arrived. About midnight. ”

Zhang Yu said: "A look at its ascending? ”

Mr. Zhongyue said, "Oh! He turned back and said to a few disciples: "I will go upstairs and watch first, you don't have to accompany you, but stay here, and whoever has a report can be ordered to go up to the east building." The disciples replied, "Oh! ”

The two did not bring attendants, and went directly to the city tower. The soldiers guarding the city naturally recognized it and did not stop it. Mr. Zhong Yue said: "But if there is a report, you can order to go upstairs." "The warrior should respond.

Although the city was heavily guarded, there were no personnel to guard the tower. In the distance, the campfire is curling, stretching for more than ten miles. The illusion of night makes the campfire brighter.

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "Although the Qin people have arrived, the camp has been completed, and the garrison has been completed, so there is no change. ”

Zhang Yu said: "The enemy is easy and I work, and it is difficult to hold on for a long time." ”

Mr. Zhongyue exclaimed, "Why did Mr. say this? ”

Zhang Yu said: "The art of war, eat the enemy for one hour, and be my twenty bells; Avoid one stone, when I have twenty stones. Today, the Qin people are doubling the price, and the four towns are borrowing. Although the villagers get double the profit, the Qin people have ten times the real profit. ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "The Qin people have enough to eat? ”

Zhang Yu said: "The Qin people don't buy loose grain, they will have a hundred carts and then a hundred cars, and they can get five hundred a day." ”

Mr. Zhongyue said: "500 cars a day, more than 100,000 people. Day by day, Qin has to last, and I am tired! ”

Zhang Yu said: "Qin eats for a day, and the daily expenses of his country are less; I eat for a day, and there are many people in Wei every day. It's overwhelming! ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "Mr. got it from Brother Zeng? ”

Zhang Yu said: "Brother Zeng, the minister of the Chen family, although he is reckless, he is still a scholar, and if he is concentrating, he will have nothing to do." ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "How did Mr. get it? ”

Zhang Yu said: "I once said it for the Chen family, and I said it for the Wei family. ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "Zeng said for Chen, what is the one who asks? ”

Zhang Yu said: "Strike with Qin." ”

Mr. Zhong Yue was surprised: "Strike with Qin? Why? ”

Zhang Yu said: "If you are not alone, Chu Chen will also use the grain to take Qin Li; That is, the beam, there are also businessmen who take advantage of Kaifeng! There is Chu in the south, Wei in the north, and Han in the west. Or you have to take advantage of the gap and break it with force, otherwise you should temporarily go with Qin and go away, and you can't raise carbuncles as a problem. ”

Mr. Zhongyue pondered for a moment and said, "What you say is not false. The meeting of Chuju Jianghuai, our firm trades. Liang and Zheng also communicate with the world through business. Qi also, dressed all over the world, has the benefits of fish and salt. This can be used as well. Qin, heavy agriculture and suppressed business, so why do they use business in the world? ”

Zhang Yu said: "This is enough to be kind to yourself and thin to others!" ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "Otherwise, how can it last?" After a long time, the treasury will be empty, the house will be ruined, and the people will be poor, and the strength will be weak. ”

Zhang Yu said: "If Qin lives in Qindi, Wei lives in Weidi, each holds each other with strength, and is free to speak of Mr. However, according to Qin, according to Kaifeng, it is the heart of Wei, and it does not have to last, but if it lasts for a month, Wei will stop. ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "Mr. is also willing to make peace with Qin? ”

Zhang Yu said: "The minister is willing to enter Kaifeng as soon as possible, get the gap, and frustrate its sharpness; Tired of it, many ways to make mistakes. And then break it with force. This is also the best policy. ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "I wish to hear second." ”

Zhang Yu said: "Reward the soldiers, fight hard without retreating, and ask for a success." ”

Mr. Zhongyue said, "I would like to hear it again." ”

Zhang Yu said: "Kaifeng, Xiaoyi also." Why not, in all directions, to cut off their food! ”
