Guangling.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were constant wars between Wei and Wu, and Guangling was an important military center in the Jianghuai area.

After Yiguan crossed south, Guangling encountered war several times.

Under the baptism of war, Guangling's soldiers were extremely brave. Twenty miles away, there was a fort standing. And around Guangling County, there were Cangcheng, Military City, and South City, guarding Guangling County.

in.

Coming and going between the cities, almost all of them were soldiers wearing armor.

At this time, in the center of Guangling City, in the Guangling County Sheriff's Mansion, there were singing and dancing birds, which was very lively.

"King Nanton, please."

In this banquet, the host is naturally Shaoling County Duke Su Jun, and the main guest is Nanton King Sima Zong.

certainly...

There were not only these two people at the banquet. Not to mention the dancing beauties, actresses, musicians, etc., there were quite a few people at the banquet.

Seven or eight of them came with King Nanton.

For example, Bian Xian, Prince Sima Chuo, Zu Daozhong and several ranger leaders.

These all fled from Luoyang with King Sima Zong of Nanton.

The sons of Su Jun's generals were also at this banquet. For example, his sons Su Xiao and Su Shuo, and his generals Han Huang, Zhang Jian, Guan Shang, Hong Hui, etc. were all at the banquet.

but...

Even though there were countless guests at the banquet, the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, which had been built with a lot of money, did not feel crowded at all.

"Please, please."

King Nanton narrowly escaped death from Jingkou, and now he finally arrived at Guangling, with a happy look on his face.

The situation was very urgent at the time, and he was separated from his son and most of his close friends, but the outcome was good in the end.

Although some men were indeed lost, most of them survived and were finally reunited in Guangling.

snort!

Then Xi Jian!

Thinking of Xi Jian, King Sima Zong of Nanton was filled with resentment. He had a relationship with Xi Jian, but the old man didn't take him seriously and ambushed him.

Although I later learned that Xi Jian was just trying to eliminate dissidents...

but...

Apart from dissidents, you should at least say hello to me!

If he had said hello to me, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed that day!

Today he arrived in Guangling. In addition to Yu Liang, he now had another enemy - Xi Jian!

In front of everyone eating, there are all kinds of delicacies.

What is quite different from the Jiankang family is that there are many delicacies of the Hu people on this Guangling food court.

Sweet milk, yoghurt, cheese, yoghurt, etc. were all served on the table. There were several basins of charcoal fires on which cattle, sheep and pigs were roasting. The aroma wafted directly into the hall.

As for why there is so much bad food in Guangling, the reason is actually very simple.

With the inward migration of the Qiang, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu and other ethnic groups, the intermingling of various ethnic groups has caused the traditional diet of the nomadic people to spread widely in the Central Plains.

From their names, it can be seen that walnuts, garlic, coriander, etc. were spread from the Hu people. These foods were widely cultivated during the Jin Dynasty and eventually became delicacies on the tables of the Han people in the Central Plains.

The influence of the Hu people on the Han people is also reflected in the preparation of meat. For example, the most famous one is "Qiang Boiled Mink". "Qiang Boiled" was a very favorite diet of the Qiang people in the northwest in ancient times, which is probably similar to today's hotpot mutton; "Qiang Boiled"

"Roasting" is a cooking method passed down by the mink people, in which the whole animal is roasted on the fire, similar to today's roasted whole lamb.

There are no banquets here, and there is not much food and drink on weekdays. The main reason is that although Guangling is a place that can be cultivated, Su Jun is not engaged in production, and the supply of grain and grass depends mostly on Jiankang.

In addition, Su Jun had many soldiers under his command, and the food and grass were often in short supply. Su Jun had always shared the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and if he had not been Sima Zong, the king of Nanton, he would not have organized a banquet today.

Everyone had a great time eating, and everyone was full of fat.

Su Jun ate half of the beef leg and drank a jar of fine wine. He was already full.

The same is true for all the guests in the hall. For example, those guests brought by King Nanton from Jiankang behaved quite decently. However, Su Jun, the general of the family, was in terrible shape. They all wanted to have two stomachs and put them in trouble.

All the wine and meat were stuffed into his stomach.

"Zi Gao, Yu Liang covers the sky with his hands in Jiankang. In these days, not only have I uprooted my people in Jiankang, but I am afraid that even your people will not be spared. Hmph! He even shouted "Catch the thief" and said we will send assassins.

Going there is simply nonsense!”

King Nanton was a bereaved dog at the moment, and now he wished he could avenge Yu Liang immediately and ran back to Jiankang.

In his heart, he must have wanted Su Jun to send troops earlier.

However...

After he arrived in Guangling, he had contacted Su Jun several times, but Su Jun still had not made up his mind.

After all, this matter of starting an army is a matter of family and life.

Su Jun was not completely sure, so he naturally did not dare to send troops rashly.

"Yu Liang is indeed hateful, but... I am in Guangling. If I cannot quickly capture Jiankang with my troops, I will probably have to flee north. However, I may not be welcome in the north."

Yu Liang alone was not completely sure about capturing Jiankang.

"Zi Gao has countless elite soldiers and generals. There are not many men in Jiankang. People like Yu Yi can lead troops to guard Stone City. Who is Yu Yi? Can he guard Stone City? He doesn't have the ability, do you know?"

Sima Zong was on the side giving earnest persuasion.

"I know very well what the king said, but... I am not very sure on my own. I have already written a letter to invite Zu Yue and Zhao Xun. If these two people come to support me, then I will be 100% sure.

10% sure!"

Zu Daozhong stood up and said, "My father has long been dissatisfied with Zhongshu Ling Yu Liang. As soon as the county official's letter arrives, I'm afraid my father will take action immediately."

"Your father and I feel relieved, but as for Zhao Xun... if he doesn't join me, there may be changes."

Su Jun stood up, with a worried look in his eyes.

"Among the people from the north who are well versed in military affairs and have good soldiers and generals under their command, besides me, it is Zhao Xun. This person is extremely cunning. If we cannot unite with him, we will easily be attacked from the north and the south, and we will have no chance of winning.

"

"I heard that Zhongshu Ling was in Jiankang to win over the Tianshui Zhao family. It may not be easy to persuade Zhao Xun." King Nanton said from the side.

"This is exactly what worries me."

Seeing Su Jun wavering, Nanton King Sima Zong frowned and said, "I heard that Zhao Xun only had one son. If his son died in Jiankang or at the hands of the Yu family, I'm afraid...

.Zhao Xun will take the initiative to follow Zigao and seek revenge on Yu Liang."

Su Jun's eyes lit up, but soon, a headache appeared in his eyes.

"It's a pity that my manpower in Jiankang has almost been lost. Then Zhao Yue may be difficult to kill in the Zhao family manor."

"What worries you, Commander? My subordinates can go and attack Zhao Yue in person. It only costs twenty men, which is enough." General Han Huang stood up.

"General Han is my arm. If you kill a boy and harm one of my generals, I won't do it!"

"Don't worry, Commander. I can send my rangers to assassinate Zhao Yue. They know Jiankang very well."

Sima Zong stood up slowly.

There is a ranger by his side, and now...
Chapter completed!
