Chapter 22 Chai Sang Meets the Old Man
"Brother Fei?" As soon as Zhao Feng heard this voice, he couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong with his ears. He had not heard this voice for three years. And this is Chai Sang. How can I hear his voice?
I hurried out of the hall and saw a familiar figure coming in. The white face has a beard, and the burly figure is wearing a scribe's robe. It's really like King Kong rushing to take the exam. The devil is reading. In addition to Zhang Fei, who else can have such a spoof dress?
"Three generals?" Zhao Feng looked at Zhang Fei, who was smiling in front of him, and it took him a long time to spit out these three words. Isn't Lao Zhang in Qingzhou? Why are you here now? Zhao Feng's mind is full of doubts.
"Yes, it's me. How about it, Mr. Zhao? We haven't seen each other for several years!" Zhang Fei beat Zhao Feng and said with a smile, which also made Zhao Feng completely wake up.
"General San, aren't you in Qingzhou? Why did you run Chai Sang? After being sure that he was not dreaming, Zhao Feng quickly asked.
"Alas, the eldest brother said that I was not too reassuring to guard the front line of Qingzhou, so I asked the public platform to be the governor of Qingzhou, and let him, Zilong and Lao Wei stay in Qingzhou. I am now the governor of Xuzhou!" Zhang Fei said with a smile. Only then did Zhao Feng understand that it was Liu Bei's idea.
But even so, Zhang Fei is really not the kind of person who can guard on the front line. Historically, Liu Bei also let Wei Yan guard the front line of Hanzhong, while Zhang Fei was stationed in the area close to the core of Langzhong. Now Zhang Fei is transferred back to Xuzhou, and it is unlikely to come out of a big basket under the care of Liu Bei. I'm lucky to think about it. Fortunately, it was Zhang Yi who confronted Zhang Fei in the past few years. If it were Cao Wei, I'm afraid he would have suffered losses. Of course, what Zhao Feng didn't know was that the reason why Liu Bei transferred Zhang Fei back was that his sentence "the length of the length and the length of the inch" reminded Liu Bei, so as to avoid letting Zhang Fei not do what he was not good at.
"Since the three generals have returned to Xuzhou, the brothers can get together often." Zhao Feng said with a smile. Lao Liu is now the leader. Guan Yu is too arrogant, and the other is far away in Jing Xiang. Speaking of which, Zhang Fei is the most in love with himself.
"That's it! I, Lao Zhang, heard that your brother was in Chaisang, so I took the opportunity to check the recruit training to see you and drink with you by the way. You don't know that there hasn't even been a person who can drink with me in Qingzhou over the years. Zilong's drinking capacity is too small!" Zhang Fei said with a smile.
"Then have a good drink today!" Zhao Feng is also difficult to do. The degree of wine in this era is limited. Except for the Xuzhou old wine that he has purified, the rest of the wine is like drinking beer in the previous life. There are really not many people in this era who have drunk their own.
At this time, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Mi and Diao Chan also came out to say hello to Zhang Fei. Among them, Zhen Jiang and Diao Chan and Zhang Fei knew each other, but Zhen Mi had never met. Zhang Fei looked at these great beauties and said to Zhao Feng with a bad smile, "Zhao boy, you are really powerful. I haven't hooked up with another one in the past few years." As he spoke, he pointed to Zhen Mi, who suddenly blushed with shame.
"Brother Fei, you misunderstood. She is my sister-in-law." Zhao Feng felt that he was about to break out in a cold sweat and quickly explained. Zhang Fei pretended to be enlightened when he heard the words. He nodded and said, "I understand, I understand!" But that expression doesn't seem to really understand. Zhen Mi stamped her feet and ran back to her room with a red face.
"Brother Fei, you see, my family is also a mess. Why don't we go to the restaurant for a drink? There is a good restaurant in Chaisang City." Zhao Feng didn't want Zhen Mi to continue to be embarrassed, so he quickly changed the topic. Zhang Fei didn't care. He nodded and agreed. The two of them took five or six attendants with Zhang Fei and followed Zhao Feng to a good restaurant nearby. They went to the second floor to find a room and sit down. They ordered food and drank slowly.
"Alas, this Jiangdong is really rich. Mr. Zhao, you don't know that I have been very bitter in Qingzhou these years. How can I drink such good wine!" After drinking two sips of wine, Zhang Fei was a little leisurely.
"Chai Sang can only be considered okay. It's almost the same as Huiji. When you get to Wu County, it will be more prosperous than our Xuzhou. Zibu and Mr. Changwen are also good at internal affairs!" Zhao Feng sighed.
"by the way, Mr. Zhao, I heard that the eldest brother told you to be a shepherd of Yangzhou twice, and you were all messed up by Cao Yan?" Zhang Fei suddenly said.
"That's right, but Cao Zhen is really cunning!" Zhao Feng sighed. Zhang Fei didn't understand what he meant and quickly asked.
"Cao Yan rejected the Lord's performance twice, but did not send his own cronies to be Yangzhou herdsmen. First, he sent Cai Mao, and then Mr. Zibu. What is it for? The first time was to provoke us to fight with the people of Jingzhou, but this time it was to provoke the relationship between Mr. Zibu and these old ministers of Jiangdong and us. Cao Shen knew that if he sent his own people to take office here, he was afraid that he would not be killed by us and would be hollowed out, so he would not do such a stupid thing. Zhao Feng explained in detail.
"So that's it. Cao Wei's son is really a huge anniper!" Zhang Fei also understood and immediately asked, "Do you think we should fight with Cao?"
"Sooner or later, I will call." Zhao Feng's semantic pun is a pun. Looking at Zhang Fei, who was still a little confused in front of him, Zhao Feng had to explain patiently again: "At present, Liu Jingsheng entrusted Jingzhou to the lord. I heard Kong Ming and Changwen say that Jingzhou, especially Jingbei, was first drought and war this time, I'm afraid that it will not recover for a long time. Changwen said that it will take two years at the earliest to recover. During this period, we will fight a small battle of tens of thousands of people at most. We can't fight a big battle like Cao Wei and Yuan Shao for a while.
"It takes so long?" Zhang Fei was also stunned when he heard the words. I can't help it. Jingzhou is large and has a large population. It's really not easy to recover. Zhao Feng was a little helpless. Jingzhou is different from the previous Xuzhou or Yangzhou. Although the population of Xuzhou is large, the area is small; although the area of Yangzhou is large, the population is small. Jingzhou is called large land and rich in materials. Of course, he almost didn't say that Jingzhou was full of undercurrents and mixed forces, which was more intense than Jiangdong at the beginning. It's not realistic to completely settle down here in two or three years.
"Xiao Zhan, Bo Tao, what are you talking about Xiao Zhan?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.
"The so-called small battle is to send tens of thousands of people at most." Zhao Feng thought for a while. At present, the most small battle is to take the opportunity to take Qingzhou, or find an opportunity to take Hanzhong.
"So do you think Cao will call over?" Zhang Fei was a little panicked when he heard the words.
"That's not the point. Cao Wei is still fighting with Yuan Shao. Even if he can defeat Yuan Shao, he will have a period of time to recover his vitality and digest the results. At present, in the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, the lord occupies half of the four prefectures of Jing, Yang, Xu and Yu in the southeast, as well as half of Qingzhou and half of Jiaozhou, with the largest area and the largest population; Cao Qian occupies the three states of Yanzhou, Yongzhou and Sizhou in the Central Plains. Although the region is small, there are many subordinates and generals, but his strength cannot be underestimated. What's more, the emperor is in his hands. Even if the lord wants to attack Xu Chang, he is still a taboo. Yuan Shao is in Hebei. Although he occupies three and a half states, he will not use people. It is only a matter of time before he will be defeated. The rest, such as Yizhou Liuzhang, Xiliang Mateng, and Sun Quan, who occupies half of Jiaozhou, are all alone and it is difficult to affect the overall situation. I think it will be five or six years at most, and the world will be the trend of the north-south confrontation between the lord and Cao. Zhao Feng talked talkingly, but he hadn't had such an opportunity for a long time.
Zhang Fei stopped for a long time, and then came to his senses and sighed, "Mr. Zhao, you are really a talent. You have figured this out this matter clearly. Why don't you want to be a military teacher?"
"Don't, I'm exhausted to be a military division." Zhao Feng shook his head. Just kidding, if you are a military division and calculate everything in detail all day long, it's really exhausting. Don't you see that there are few military divisions in history? Besides, although he is smart, he is by no means that kind of fine person. Again, there is a length of a foot and a short length of an inch!
"That's true. In your opinion, there should be no big battle to fight in the next few years?" Zhang Fei took a sip of wine and asked.
"Excre to be precise, it is unlikely that the Lord should attack anyone again for the time being." Zhao Feng thought for a moment. It would be hard to say if someone called. At that time, he would have to fight even if he didn't.
"Well, it's okay. It's enough to play for these years. Take a break for a year or two and then play again. By the way, since he was defeated by me and the public platform two years ago, he didn't dare to fight with me once in the past two years. He only dared to rely on the Yellow River to defend it. Zhang Feiyang said proudly.
"Hebei Sitingzhu can only hold his jaw slightly. Although Yan Liangwenchou is brave, his surname is too impatient. However, Ju Shutian Feng is a talent. If it hadn't been for them over the years, I would have pacified Qingzhou with the wisdom of Mr. Gongtai. Zhao Feng was half guessing.
"That's true, but these two people are not simple." Zhang Fei completely nodded and agreed with Zhao Feng's opinion. After nearly two years of competition, Zhang Fei also highly recognized their ability. The two of them talked about the past while drinking. They ate and drank all the way from the afternoon to the evening, and finally their tongues were a little big. General, I think we've almost drunk. Let's go back?" Zhao Feng looked at Zhang Fei. Third Master's head was already a little swaying. If he drank it again, he would almost fall down.
"That's right, Mr. Zhao, you still don't drink less than before!" Zhang Fei shook his head and said. Looking out of the window, it was dark. Zhang Fei burped and said, "I'll stay at your house tonight. It's too far away to go back to Shouchun."
"Okay!" Zhao Feng nodded. The two of them got up and went downstairs to ride home. Of course, they couldn't run wildly in this Chaisang City. They just rode slowly.
"Actually, I don't drink much!" Zhang Fei blew the cool breeze for a while, and his head was mostly awake. He couldn't help laughing at Zhao Feng.
"That's true. If you really want to continue to drink, you can drink it, but it should be carried back!" Zhao Feng laughed and said that Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing when he heard the words and laughed wildly. Fortunately, it was night at this time, and there were no people on Chaisang Street, otherwise Third Master Zhang's bright and excessive laughter would really scare the children.
However, it was not that there was no one in the middle of the night. Just as Zhang Sanye's laughter stopped, the two of them came to a carriage. In addition to the handlebars of the car, there are also three or four attendants following, which looks like a large family's travel posture. However, it was late at night, and the gate of Chaisang City was closed, and they should not be able to go out.
"What?" Zhao Feng was very familiar with the handlebar style. It seemed that he had seen it somewhere, but his head was a little dizzy after drinking, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while. However, the man was a little flustered when he saw Zhao Feng's expression. He lowered his head and rushed to leave.
"Hort, who are you?" Zhao Feng was now curious. He stopped him in front of the horse and asked. Zhang Fei also rushed forward with him and said, "What's the matter, boy Zhao, do you know him?"
"Are you Ma Zhong?" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered who he was. Isn't it Ma Zhong, Sun Quan's trusted general? When he captured Sun Quan alive, he was knocked down by Gao Lan. Later, he went to Jiaozhou with Sun Quan. Why did he come here now?
