The Pu Tao wine in Liangzhou is very famous.

Meng Da, the general stationed in Shangyong, and his father Meng Tuo was a famous scholar in Fufeng. During the reign of Emperor Ling, he gave Zhang Rang a bucket of pomelo wine to exchange for the position of governor of Liangzhou.

Since Zhang Fei stayed in Hanyang, he has fallen in love with this kind of wine.

Even when I went to Chengdu, I brought Pujiao wine to share with my close friends.

In theory, it would be a very honorable thing to get Zhang Fei to invite him to drink. But at the beginning of today's wine party, Jiang Wei saw that something was wrong.

Today is the time when the caravan is about to set off, and hundreds of people are waiting in the pavilion outside the city. Even if the general of the chariot wants to see him off, how can he force himself to drink with his nose like this? What if he drinks like this, what should he do for official business? Will he still be able to leave today? Even if he can leave, will I, Jiang Boyue, lying in the car in a dizzy manner? Then wouldn't he become the laughing stock of his subordinates?

Jiang Wei tried his best not to drink, drink less, and used his full ability to explain that his alcohol tolerance was actually very ordinary.

But how could he refuse Zhang Fei's persuasion to drink? So after drinking a few times, Zhang Fei's big copper bell's eyes became more and more shiver, and Jiang Wei began to feel dizzy.

He felt the floor of the Flower Records winery shaking;

He felt that the pillars of the restaurant were becoming crooked and were constantly emitting heavy shadows;

He felt that the owner of the restaurant, the Kangju woman's voice was far and away, and her laughter became more and more disgusting;

He felt that the figures of Hu Xuanwu in front of the banquet were floating and moving faster and faster. He didn't know whether it was him turning himself or his graceful skirts.

Jiang Wei was sure, and she must not drink it anymore.

He placed the wine bottle heavily on the table, looked at Zhang Fei, and sneered.

"General Zhang! General Yide! You did it on purpose!"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "What?"

Jiang Wei burped: "General, you are deliberately punishing me!"

"What am I going to do to rectify you?"

Jiang Wei beat him up to the sky. He supported his hands on the table and fixed his body, but turned into a serious expression and thought about it carefully.

Zhang Fei held the wine bottle and asked the Hu girl of Kangju to pour more wine. He drank two bottles in a row, not disturbing Jiang Wei.

After a while, Jiang Wei figured it out. He slapped the table hard and said loudly: "You... You know that I have engaged in a engagement with the Guan girl, but you still recommend yourself to travel west... You think I don't pay attention to the marriage, so you have to give me a warning!"

Hana couldn't help laughing and almost burst out laughing.

"Ahem..." Zhang Fei stroked his steel needle-like beard: "Boyou, you are smart. Since you are about to become Yun Chang's son-in-law, you don't want to protect your family and go slowly to the ministers, but you have to rush to imitate Zhang Bowang and Ban Dingyuan to enter the sinister land of the Western Regions... Is it appropriate?"

"Why is it not suitable?" Jiang Wei continued to slap the table. Because of the force that was too strong, the banging sound could be heard clearly upstairs and downstairs. The guards downstairs even looked at the gaps in the floor upstairs, and the dust fell down.

"General Guan is a great military achievement, and he is the arm of His Majesty and one of the best generals in the world. I want to be General Guan's son-in-law, and be brave and vigorous as his ancestors, like an eagle fighting in the sky; but don't be the chick under General Guan's wings, and even his wife will be ridiculed!"

"Haha, okay, okay. I have seen the strength and majesty of the Liangzhou senator. But I don't know that the younger generation in Liangzhou can be as loyal and diligent as Boyue?"

Jiang Wei stretched out his finger and pointed at his chest: "I am one of the first batch."

"Um?"

"There will be a second batch, a third batch, a fourth batch, or even more afterwards." Jiang Wei said swayingly: "Long before General, you issued the military order, many major tribes in Liangzhou had already prepared all the manpower and material resources needed! General, don't worry, not to mention a mere batch of caravans, there are three batches, five batches, and ten batches; even if you are general, you will immediately raise an army and take us through Hexi and fight until Shule... there is no problem!"

"All ready? How many are there?"

Jiang Wei stretched out a finger: "At least ten thousand people! Horses, armor and supplies are all available!"

After thinking about it, he stretched out his finger: "If the general feels it is necessary, he can add another 12,000 people!"

"Okay, very good!"

After all, it is Yun Chang's son-in-law who is more reliable. It is worth it to be a real number. Today's banquet is worth it. Zhang Fei held up the wine bottle with satisfaction: "Come on, Bo Yue, have another drink."

Jiang Wei drank it.

Duke Xuande raised an army from Zhuo County and established a huge reputation as a mere border warrior and the Han Dynasty Shuzong, thanks to many generals Guan and Zhang.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both generals of bears and tigers, and are both enemies of thousands of people. Relatively speaking, Zhang Fei is a little tough and fierce. In the past two years, his reputation has not only been inferior to Guan Yu, but has also been far superior to Lei.

But in fact, after decades of military career, how many times have passed through hardships and lessons from life to death, how could Zhang Fei be a purely rough man? It’s just that he is used to showing off in this way.

Since the previous year, he has been in charge of Hanyang and Dong in command of the military affairs of the two prefectures of Yongliang. Over the past two years, he has been trying his best to understand the situation of the scholars and powerful people in Liangzhou clearly, and cannot be like Ma Chao, who is purely deterred by force.

As Jiang Wei said at this moment, the gentry and powerful people in Liangzhou were full of enthusiasm for the court, and all of them were eager to change the situation of discrimination and suppression in the past hundreds of years through certain achievements.

The people of Liangzhou were so active that the imperial center had just made a decision, and they had gathered great power. These clans and powerful people were able to stand on the border with force for hundreds of years; if their power was integrated and effective command was given, as Jiang Wei said, there would be no problem to directly penetrate Hexi and the Western Regions.

However, the central concerns are also here.

Why has the Luoyang imperial court discriminated against Liangzhou people in the past few hundred years? The weakness of Liangzhou people in cultural levels is actually only an superficial reason.

The real reason is that the people of Liangzhou are extremely martial and strong and maintain great force at the grassroots level.

The harsh reality of border counties and the huge pressure from the Qiang and Hu people forced the Liangzhou people to maintain strong military and mobilization; while this mobilization force itself, which is close to the core area of ​​the imperial court, forced the imperial court to suppress the Liangzhou people.

The people in the border areas already had force and had political influence, could the court still control them? In the Sanming of Liangzhou, Liangzhou, suppressed the Qiang Rebellion for many years, and surrendered and rebelled. What was the purpose of? The rioters of Qiang people often took tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people to fight, and they occasionally rushed to Sanfu. Who doesn’t understand how many Qiang and Hu people were there, and how many Liangzhou tyrants were fanning the flames and taking advantage of the momentum?

Then there is no need to mention what kind of people they are like, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang, Ji and Fan Chou later.

Now, the central government wants to pacify Hexi, open up the Silk Road, and give Liangzhou people the opportunity to make contributions. Therefore, Liangzhou people have all their strength and are ready to support the court at any time. But what if the Liangzhou people are dissatisfied with the court one day?

Therefore, when I was in Chengdu, the emperor and the prime minister made special explanations to Zhang Fei.

This Western Expedition generally requires considering the cost of the central government and not to be consumed at will. But there is no need to worry about the scale of Liangzhou people's efforts. As long as Liangzhou people have the spare time, they will do their best to extend their arms along Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang until the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions. There is no problem even if it is farther away. The farther the better!

The more benefits the Liangzhou people gained in the Western Regions, the more their strength would be invested in the Western Regions.

The larger the interest plate in the Western Regions, the less the Liangzhou people cannot give up; at the same time, as long as the central government protects the distribution of interests of Liangzhou people in the Western Regions, it will be enough to obtain the continuous support of Liangzhou without risking the use of central power for transactions.

To some extent, the Western Regions are the same as those of the Liangzhou people and the South China Sea countries are the same.

Nowadays, people from Jiaozhou are building warships in Panyu, and they often conquer foreign countries thousands of miles away from the sea border. Isn’t the center happy to see it?

Very good, very good.

Twenty-two thousand people, that's really a great deal.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but stroke his beard again and laughed.

"Come on, send Bob to his journey!" He shouted at the entourage downstairs.
