Chapter 33

On this day, Zhang Wu was eating hot pot with Chen Sun, Mi Heng, and Hua Tuo in the general's mansion, and his servants came to report that Kan Ze, the envoy from Jiangdong, asked to see him.

This hot pot was invented by Zhang Wu in this era, and it expresses his nostalgia for his previous life.Although there are no such seasonings of later generations, they are relatively new. There are medicines that Hua Tuo mixed with several flavors as seasonings, and the taste is quite delicious, which is very popular among everyone.

They have been with Zhang Wu for a long time, and they all know that the three brothers Zhang Wu are relatively straightforward people, they don't stick to etiquette, and they often have dinner in the general's mansion.

It was expected by Zhang Wu that Jiangdong sent envoys to come, but it was too unlucky to come, this pot of tender mutton has just been cooked, if he left, wouldn't it be cheaper for these foodies?
No, so Zhang Wu asked someone to bring Kan Ze, and ordered someone to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, adjust a seasoning, and follow the example of future generations to talk about work while eating.

Kan Ze has been on missions many times, and this is the first time he has seen such a scene. How can he receive an envoy during a meal? What's even more outrageous is that he even allows the envoy to accompany him to eat.There are so many people gathered around a big copper pot, you have chopsticks and I have chopsticks, how unbecoming it is!

"Jiangdong Kanze, meet General Zhang." Kanze saluted, but did not take his seat.

"Come on, come on, Mr. Derun, you're welcome, let's chat while eating. Let me introduce you. This is my second brother, Chen Sun, the deputy general of Jiangxia, and this is Mr. Ni Zhengping, the governor of the general's mansion and the prime minister of Jiangxia county. , this is Mr. Cao Huayuanhua, the doctor of Jiangxia County, there are no outsiders, please sit down!"

Kan Ze had no choice but to sit down first. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Wu interrupted again: "Eat first, eat first! The meat is just cooked, and it's time to eat!"

Under Hua Tuo's guidance, Kan Ze picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in the seasoning, and put it into his mouth.

Then, Kan Ze never mentioned why he came here, and kept on fishing for meat. Hua Tuo was so panicked that he stopped talking, and hurriedly fished together.

Other than saying hello to Kan Ze, the big fan, Ni Heng, didn't say a word, for fear that the food would be robbed as soon as he spoke.

"Come on, Mr. Derun has come from a long way, this glass of wine should be a treat for him." Zhang Wu said holding up the wine bottle.

Kan Ze still remembered that he was the envoy, so he quickly picked up the wine bottle and said, "Thank you, General Zhang, thank you all!"

"Please!" Chen Sun, Mi Heng, and Hua Tuo also said together.

"Please!" Kan Ze replied, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Huh?This wine is so strong!Kan Ze almost choked, he had never drank alcohol with such a high concentration.

"What kind of wine is this? It's so strong!" Kan Ze couldn't help asking.

"This is wine made by my elder brother himself. How about it? Is it delicious? This is called wine. The wine I drank before is like water!" Chen Sun introduced happily.

"Good wine! Good food! This trip is really worthwhile, General Zhang, I offer you a toast!" Kan Ze poured another glass and raised his glass.

"Okay, come on, cheers!"

Several people ate and drank, and the servants behind kept bringing up plates of sliced ​​meat, vegetables and fruits.

After drinking and eating, the two sides sat down again and started talking about business.

"General Zhang, Ze has been entrusted by my master, the general who is begging for captives. I have something to discuss with the general."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Wuming asked knowingly.

"The former, the Jiangxia army provoked the war, suddenly attacked our Jiangdong garrison, and took my Jiangxia important minister Han Duan as an old general. My lord wanted to raise troops to avenge my Jiangdong children, but he was afraid that the lives would be ruined when the war broke out, so he couldn't bear it. Therefore, I sent Ze to express my lord's strong anger and condemnation. General Zhang please release the old general Han Dang and the captured Jiangdong soldiers immediately, otherwise when the army arrives, Jiangxia and Jingzhou will be in danger!"

"Hahahahahaha..." Before Zhang Wu could say anything, Mi Heng laughed and said, "What a Kan Derun, who is indifferent to right from wrong and confuses black and white! Sha Xian is my land of Jiangxia. You Jiangdong occupied it by force, and I, Jiangxia, sent troops." Take it back, why not? You Jiangdong has been attacking me Jiangxia for more than ten years, killing countless soldiers and people of Jiangxia. I Jiangxia can't take back the lost land, but your master Sun Quan is angry and wants to condemn it? Banana, you are a bastard!"

"You...!" Although Kan Ze felt that Mi Heng's words were not good, he didn't know what they meant, so he said, "My lord crusade against Jiang Xia because my lord had revenge on Huang Zu for killing his father. Duke Xiang of Qi avenged the enmity of the ninth generation, and the "Spring and Autumn Annals" is a big one. The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable, and my master's crusade against Jiang Xia is the righteousness of the "Spring and Autumn Annals."

"Hahahaha..." You Heng sneered, "Sun Jian's invasion of Jingzhou led to his death, which is purely his own fault, and your Jiangdong Sun family has killed a lot. When Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong, he attacked Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the imperial court. How is it different from rebellion? Therefore, Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, and Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun, were all killed by Sun Ce. The famous scholar Sheng Xian was not only persecuted by Sun Ce, but even Sun Quan could not tolerate him. If he is a captain, kill him. Do these people also want to take revenge? Does Mr. Huang She want to seek revenge on Sun Quan for killing his father? I see the difference between the cruelty of the Dongsun clan in Rujiang and Dong Zhuo and his like?"

"You...you..." Kan Ze couldn't speak. As the saying goes, "You don't slap someone in the face, and you don't expose your faults when you scold." For Mi Heng who only picked up Sun's atrocities and scandals, it was really a "slap in the face" ring.

Kan Ze suddenly remembered that Mi Heng, who seemed like he hadn't eaten for three days just now, was the world's most refined and hot-headed person. Who would be his opponent in a quarrel?So I stopped talking to Mi Heng, and said directly to Zhang Wu:

"General Zhang, the old general Han Dang is an important minister in Jiangdong, and his status is extraordinary. I wonder what General Zhang's decision is?"

Zhang Wu sighed, and said: "Oh! When is it time to repay the injustice? To be honest, Liu Jingzhou ordered me to escort Old General Han to Xiangyang many times. He wanted to avenge the old magistrate Huang. In the battle with Jiangdong, both sides will suffer! How about this, Mr. Derun will take a rest today, and tomorrow I will take Mr. Han to meet the old general in person, so you can rest assured. My new prefect of Jiangxia is coming soon. Whether you let it go or stay, it will be up to you. The new prefect decides!"

"Oh? I don't know who the new prefect is? When will he arrive?"

"I'll know when the time comes. Soon, it will only be two days. Mr. Yuanhua, please take charge of receiving Mr. Derun for the time being."

"Yes, my lord." Hua Tuo took over the task.

When everyone left, Zhang Wu asked Chen Sun to arrange for someone to deliver a letter to Gan Ning, and sent more spies to investigate the situation in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, guard the water village and the water surface defense area, and do not attack rashly.

Chen Sun took the order and left, and Mi Heng also returned home.In order to make a living, Mi Heng specially set up his home next to the General's Mansion, and came here every few days to make a living.

Hua Tuo originally wanted to settle down near the General's Mansion, but Zhang Wu made excuses to keep him away.It’s fine for the bachelors, Mi Heng and Chen Sun, to come to eat. If you Hua Tuo and his family all come to eat, why don’t you make me poor?The landlord's family has no surplus food!
