Long Song Wanli Dingshan River

"The thing I need most."

Hearing this, Chang Ge lowered his head and smiled.He fumbled for a cup of moist white jade tea in his hand, and asked softly, "What do you think, sir?"

Zhu Zheng's face remained expressionless, and he calmly replied, "Food and grass."

Chang Ge chuckled and said, "Same as you."

He turned suspicious: "It's just that I've never heard of this Wuzheng Pavilion. I don't know why you suddenly help me?"

Zhu Zheng drooped his eyes. In the morning light, his long eyelashes drooped and fluttered gracefully, looking very good-looking.

Zhu Zheng: "The general was rescued by Yizhou before, and he helped Yizhou guard Shangyong for three years. It is not surprising that the affairs of other countries are not known. This Wuzheng Pavilion was originally a small sect in southern Yunnan. Three years ago For some reason, he suddenly made a lot of money and became famous. Although he is called 'Wuzheng', he has done a lot of bad things, but he has also done some good things. In places where wars are turbulent, there are many Wuzheng Pavilions, but what role does it play? still uncertain."

Chang Ge sipped tea and thought carefully.

"The leader of Wuzheng Pavilion is called 'Juzi', but Juzi seldom shows up. It is rumored that Bai and Lan are actually in charge of Wuzheng Pavilion. The person I interviewed today, since he is called Mr. Lan, presumably should be the master in charge. One of them is Zelan. This Mr. Lan is now opening a mansion to support scholars, and his mansion is in Jinguan City, Yizhou, and many scribes praise him."

After Zhu Zheng finished his speech, he raised his eyes to look at him, and gently persuaded him, "However, it's up to you whether you want to see him or not. The affairs of Xiangyang and food and grass should not be too laborious, depressing and depressing. I'm ready to go back and write books." As far as the great Wei Chang'an peace talks... General, all matters are not as important as your health."

Hearing this, Chang Ge looked up at him, only to feel that he hadn't seen him for several days. Zhu Zheng seemed to have lost a lot of energy, and his complexion was also much paler.

Chang Ge pretended to be joking: "I agreed to guard Xiangyang, sir. Since I still have breath, sir, you can hide away and worry less-I, don't you feel relieved?"

Zhu Zheng lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, before he sighed softly, and the sigh was as thin as falling flowers in ice and snow.

Only then did he slowly raise his eyes, and Chang Ge's smiling shadow was reflected in his eyes: "I am most afraid of your words."

Turn around and come back.

Chang Ge turned his gaze away, just about to prevaricate in response, when he heard three soft knocks on the door, You Qing urged in a low voice: "General, Mr. Lan is still waiting...see you?"

Seeing that it was a small matter, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear Zhu Zheng's gaze when he sat down again, so he recruited the poisonous incident. With one move, Zhu Zheng would definitely not let him intervene in Xiangyang affairs again.

Ze Lan's visit happened to be a pretext for sneaking around, Chang Ge hurriedly replied: "See you. Bring him in."

"Here!"

"and many more."

Zhu Zheng calmly said: "Let Mr. Lan meet at the study."

"This……"

The wooden door was opened slightly, and You Qing poked half of his head in, confirming: "Are you calling me in or going to the study?"

Zhu Zheng looked up at him: "Who do you listen to?"

When Zhu Zheng was King Wen of Zhou, Youqing was his shadow guard, so there is no need to talk about it this time, of course he listened to him.Youqing immediately went out in response.

Chang Ge bowed his head, feeling that the food didn't taste good, so he put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

After dinner, Zhu Zheng told Chang Ge that he would listen in the room, and went to the study secretly.Chang Ge was led by the government soldiers, and entered the study in the front yard from the main entrance.

Just entering the front yard of the study, a young man in a purple brocade robe stood with his hands behind his back.

Ze Lan did not wait quietly in the house as he imagined, but looked at the withered and yellow grass and trees in the courtyard with some ecstasy, and sighed: "The pansies are luxuriant, and the carvings are glazing. If you are killed, you will die young and be broken." [1]

Chang Ge immediately sighed that the literati are really amazing, they can pull so many twists and turns in the pot of bluegrass that is dying.

It's not that he doesn't like literati. When Zhu Zheng is gentle and gentle, he also looks like a modest gentleman. If he insists on it, he not only does not reject it, but also has a natural affinity for literati.

It's just that kindness is kindness. Some literati have too much red tape. Although he doesn't reject it, it doesn't mean he doesn't have a headache.

So Chang Ge stood for a while in the winter, planning to wait for Mr. Lan's nine songs to wrap his mind, before making a sound.

Unexpectedly, after Ze Lan finished chanting this sentence, she would not continue.At this time, a festive voice was heard outside the courtyard: "Mr. Lan! The tea is here!"

Chang Ge turned around and happened to see Prefect Sun coming in lying down. He was lying on a bamboo stretcher, lifting his neck as hard as he could, and directed the servants beside him to hold the saucers: "The best black tea from southern Yunnan... yo! The general is also here !"

Putting aside his incompetence, Prefect Sun is really a good prefect. For example, he could hardly even sit on a board, and he was carried by his attendants, but he still ran around doing everything by himself. You have to watch yourself when pouring a cup of tea.

With his howl, he called Zelan back, so Zelan saw the general in red behind him.

Before that, he had never seen Chang Ge up close, and he didn't even need to confirm with others before he could understand that the person in front of him was Chang Ge.

From the very first glance, he realized what the giant called "a glimpse of the world".

It snowed heavily yesterday, but at this time, the eyes are covered with snow and ice, and the eyes are suddenly bright red, like a frosty sky and fire clouds.

Chang Ge stood tall and straight, with a jade belt around his waist, and he had the spirit of a long-term battle.At first glance, the outline is handsome and unrestrained, but the sharp and upward eyebrows, and the red lips that are as clear as vermilion red, add a bit of evil beauty.

He had seen several generals and powerful ministers before, and all of them were tired and gloomy from the years of fighting and calculating.

Only Chang Ge, who obviously had a rough and miserable life in the first half of his life, fought for power and conspiracy, but his pupils were still clear and clear, even a little naive without being stained with common things.

There is only one thought in his mind: a splendid general is better than thousands of dim fires.

Ze Lan looked at Chang Ge carefully as if he had never seen it before.His eyes were complex and grotesque, as if looking at them, but also with a kind of piety.

This kind of sight made Chang Ge feel strange, so he hurriedly changed the subject: "Just now when I arrived, I heard Mr. Delan reciting Chu songs with great enthusiasm, so I didn't say anything to let me know."

Unsure of why, the impotent Taishou Sun followed Hu and said, "Chu Ge is good! Does Mr. Lan like Chu Ge?"

Ze Lan said: "Ji tunes are passionate, Wei styles are generous, Wu tunes are soft and graceful, but Chu songs are loud and rich—the land of Chu is lush, the people of Chu are colorful, and the songs of Chu are full of natural and unrestrained wind, osmanthus orchids, and clear fragrance. "

When he said this, his eyes never left Chang Ge.

Chang Ge is not from Chu, so he didn't hear his hidden meaning at all. He only thought that this was a scribe who was longer than the ruler, which gave him a headache.

Sun Taishou, a native of Chu, was praised by the polite words from head to toe, and most of his injuries were probably healed.He hurriedly called out: "Then who, come here, quickly find two singers for Mr. Lan—"

Zelan quickly stopped his thoughts.

When meeting scribes, there are more rules, let alone meeting two scribes at once.

Ze Lan and Sun Taishou made three rounds of courtesy, and were still humble and respectful at the door. In desperation, Chang Ge passed the two of them and pushed the door straight in, and the three of them entered one by one.

As soon as Chang Ge entered the door, he was attracted by a map.This picture hangs in the center of the study, titled "The Complete Picture of Jingzhou".

He observed carefully that Jingzhou on this map is quite different from the current territory of Chu State. The map shows the whole map of the flourishing period when it merged with Yuzhou and Nanyang at the top, swallowed South Yunnan and Jiaozhou at the bottom, and occupied Luling of Wu State on the right.

Chang Ge speculated that this should be the map of Jingzhou Da Sima Situ Xin expanding his territory, Prime Minister Mei and Cha Bian Fa Xiuming more than ten years ago.At that time, Jingzhou ranked first among the six heroes, swallowed the two heroes of Yuzhou and Jiaozhou, recovered southern Yunnan, and flourished day by day.

Although Jingzhou bowed its head to the Great Zhou at that time, but in terms of territory, it had already surpassed the Great Zhou.

A few years later, the magnificent Jingzhou was renamed the Chu State, but the vast territory was eroded by the neighboring princes, and the area under its jurisdiction was less than half of that at that time.

Sun Taishou noticed that both Chang Ge and Ze Lan were attracted by this picture, and hurriedly explained: "I am laughing and laughing. I did not have any unreasonable intentions to hang this picture. This picture was a gift from Jingzhou Grand Sima Situ Xin. When Xiangyang took office, Da Sima specially summoned him, saying that the location of Xiangyang is very important, and the stability of the north of Jingzhou is on his shoulders. The lower officials deeply feel the heavy responsibility and are grateful to Da Sima, so they hang up this map and be vigilant at all times."

Chang Ge took a closer look at Prefect Sun.He hadn't thought before that such meek and timid people actually had great ambitions.

"It's far away, it's far away." Taishou Sun laughed, "General, Mr. Lan, please sit down! Don't be polite!"

Ze Lan stood by the chess table and asked, "General, are you talking about a game?"

It's no fun sitting around and answering questions, but it's not bad to play Liubo.

The servants in the office brought Liubo chess and served tea.Chang Ge sat down on the other side.

Just after three rounds, Ze Lan expressed his intention of coming: "Wuzheng Pavilion is willing to donate [-] dans of grain to relieve Xiangyang's rice grain crisis."

Chang Ge glanced at Taishou Sun. Luckily, Ze Lan was sitting with his back to Taishou Sun, otherwise she would have had goosebumps all over from disgusted by Taishou Sun's affectionate eyes.

Chang Ge made a move and turned from defense to offense. He played with two or three osmanthus wood pieces in his hand and asked casually, "The price?"

Ze Lan pursed her lips and smiled: "The general is smart. However, this is not a price."

He raised his hand, and a bookboy respectfully presented a brocade book and placed it on the desk.This brocade book is light blue and brocade, framed at both ends, and tied with a string to form a tube.

Just as Chang Ge was about to pick up the brocade book, Ze Lan pressed the other end of the brocade book: "The general hasn't said yet whether he would like to take on the [-] dans of grain."

"We will have to read the brocade book before deciding."

Chang Ge wanted to take out brocade books, but Ze Lan didn't give in. He just said: "Thirty thousand dans of food, hundreds of thousands of people's lives in Xiangyang, should the general think about it?"

Sun Taishou Baba looked at the brocade book, as if his wealth and life were all on it.

Chang Ge was a little displeased. He usually hated other people's threats, and even worse, he hated others to threaten innocent people's lives.

Right now, Mr. Lan is obviously guilty of both inversions.

"General." Sun Taishou saw that Chang Ge was slow to respond, and Nuonuo said, "I have hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang..."

Chang Ge frowned slightly.

Before he could respond, there was a bang outside the door, and the door was almost knocked open, and then I heard Youqing shouting outside the door: "Why are you so pestering! You stabbed the general yesterday, and you dare to come again today!"

"You have a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly! I'm here to save the general!"

The two quarreled and quarreled, Chang Ge made a wild guess about the situation outside, it must be Bai Suzi who came and wanted to give him an injection, but You Qing stopped him from entering.

He suddenly realized something, Zhu Zheng's visit late last night was most likely because of Bai Suzi's needling, Youqing informed Zhu Zheng late at night.

Chang Ge rubbed the osmanthus wood chess piece with his fingers, feeling rough and rough.

"All come in."

The two pushed the door open, stood side by side, and kept pushing and shoving each other, looking down on each other.Chang Ge frowned: "Can't you see that you are seeing a guest?"

"I told him! He must be talking about the right time and place—"

"General." Bai Suzi interrupted him directly, "Yesterday I also told you that retrograde blood qi needs to be recuperated according to the weather, and there are definite rules for when to use needles and when to smooth the qi. Glancing in the room, he didn't dare to say too bluntly, "This is also beneficial to Xiangyang."

What a coincidence.

This Mr. Lan acted strangely, and his words were threatening, which made Chang Ge uncomfortable in every possible way. Instead, Bai Suzi seized the opportunity to evade: "Blame me, I was careless, and I forgot about it. Now It was indeed the time for the needle, so I stepped back first. Regarding the military rations, Mr. Lan discussed with the prefect of Xiangyang..."

"No need." Ze Lan replied as if he didn't understand the order to expel the guest, "It's a big job for the doctor, the general can do the acupuncture here. Don't worry about me."

Seeing the guest speak, Bai Suzi immediately sat down next to Chang Ge happily, with a triumphant expression.

You Qing is still relentless: "General, don't trust him too much, Mr. Yesterday—"

"okay."

He didn't trust Bai Suzi much at first, but when You Qing said this, Chang Ge suddenly clenched the chess piece in his hand: "You go down. I know what I know."

Youqing stood in a daze for a long time, then scribbled a salute and went down.

"Needling on the right arm today. General, please pull up your sleeves."

Chang Ge chuckled: "Boy, Mr. Lan is a literati and refined scholar. I think he has never seen blood before. You can take it easy and don't scare the young master."

Bai Suzi is a quick-witted person, upon hearing these words, he understood that Chang Ge wanted him to be as bloody as he wanted, and it was best to give him an injection, so that the blood would flow profusely, so that Ze Lan would be scared to death.

He nodded and said: "Here, Xiaobai will act carefully."

Chang Ge glanced at him.The kid is still doing well.

He took off his outer robe, and generously pulled up his right sleeve, without stopping his left hand, he made another move on the chessboard.

On the contrary, Taishou Sun widened his eyes for a moment, and let out a low exclamation.

"Why." Chang Ge looked up at him, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Prefect Sun, have you never seen any battle damage?"

Chang Ge's raised right arm was white and well-proportioned from a distance, but now when he looked closely, he found that the arm and shoulder were covered with fine scars, and there was an oblique knife mark on the upper arm, which was actually a finger wide.

"People on the battlefield, such a small injury is nothing." Chang Ge reminded softly: "Young Master Lan, pay attention, Liu Bo is about to be defeated."

The author has something to say:

[1] Ze Lan recited "Songs of the Chu·Shang Shi", lamenting the bad luck and the murder of Zhongliang.

Ze Lan and Chang Ge played Liubo chess.

Zelan is not a new character. If you read the previous article in detail, he has actually appeared many times.It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, it’s okay to get to know each other again now.

Thank you seem, I am happy to feed Chang Gege butter sugar every day~
