Zuixianglou has been newly built for less than a year, and there are not many shops around the pier, which makes it look quiet. The restaurant is especially good at cooking fish, and the wine is good, so there will be a lot of business after it is completed. Three or five friends gather together, and people often come to Zuixianglou. The environment is good and the money is not much.

At noon the next day, Zhang Jun prepared a table of wine and food, specifically invited Yu Huan to drink. He also invited Jiang Min to accompany him, and the three of them were a little more popular.

In the small pavilion on the second floor, Yu Huan looked at the scenery outside and sighed: "It's just over two years that Xiangyang City seems to have changed. There is no longer the panic he used to be, and it will flourish suddenly."

Zhang Jun said: "Not. Now the two capitals are abandoned, the two Huaihe River and Jinghu are in chaos, and many people have been hiding here."

As he spoke, the servant served the food and drinks. Zhang Jun got up and poured wine for Yu Huan and Jiang Min.

Jiang Min held the wine bowl and said, "I have a small amount of alcohol, so I can only drink this bowl. If I have more, I will get drunk."

Zhang Jun said: "Why just drink one bowl? I drank three big bowls for the first time at the age of six! You are also a man, don't be like a child! There are no outsiders today, just let go of it!"

Jiang Min said: "I am young and can only drink one bowl."

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "What a little little! When you were as old as you, I have killed and fought a war, but I don't think I am small!"

Yu Huan said: "Don't force him. Jiang Min is now in the yamen of the Funeral Office, and the tutor is watching, so he will naturally be careful everywhere."

Zhang Jun sat down, put down the wine pot and said, "What's so great! At the same age, I was also watched by the policing envoy every day."

As he said that, he raised his wine and said, "Today's spring is just right, let's drink a drink! The so-called peach blossom flowing water mandarin fish is fat, and there is a freshly cooked fat mandarin fish. I told the store to cook a few dishes. We drink and eat dishes."

Jiang Min has a good memory and no matter what she learns, she quickly memorized the textbooks. She can't envy her skills. However, everyone knows that as long as she doesn't make mistakes, Jiang Min has a promising future. In addition, Jiang Min has a gentle personality and everyone likes to date him.

When he was about the same age as Jiang Min, Zhang Jun killed someone to join the army and was considered a young hero. Because of this, Jiang Min's hometown is near Caizhou, Jiang Min liked Zhang Jun very much, and the two had a good relationship.

After joining the army for nearly three years, Zhang Jun is no longer as arrogant as before. He is less arrogant, more cautious, and has the desire to get promoted and raise salaries. If it were Zhang Jun, who was the former, who rushed into his house yesterday, wouldn't he let that man go? Without a single knife, it wouldn't be Zhang Jun. Especially this year, he was under Jie Linong, who was strictly controlled and too cautious in doing things.

After three rounds of wine, the store brought fresh steamed mandarin fish. The three of them drank, ate fish, and enjoyed the scenery of late spring outside.

After eating half of a fish, Yu Huan said, "This time, the polite polite ordered us to go to Ding Jin and persuade him to cooperate. What do you think of Zhang Tongzhi?"

Zhang Jun said: "I heard that the tutor once followed Ding in to save Luoyang, but Ding Jin ran away halfway. Is this really the case?"

Yu Huan nodded: "It's true! I was originally Ding Jin's subordinate, so I cut off the rear for him. As a result, the Jin army did not come, and Ding Jin ran away first, so I left myself behind. It is precisely because of this that I followed the scrupulous envoy."

Zhang Jun said: "From what you said, aren't you having a big grudge with Ding Jin?"

Yu Huan laughed when he heard this. "What a big grudge! In the eyes of people like Ding Jin, this is nothing at all. Seeing that things are not good, it is natural to escape from his own life first. He doesn't think it's wrong at all. Control is different from humans!"

Jiang Min on the side said, "How can such a person be the leader? Who will follow him?"

Yu Huan said, "You are young and have little experience. After you leave the village, you enter the military academy and then enter the tutoring department. Everyone you see is the tutoring army. In fact, outside, talents like Ding Jin account for the majority."

Speaking of this, Yu Huan sighed: "If I hadn't followed the tutor, how could I have such an army? In the past three years, I have really taught me a lot. Shao Ling was the Du Yuhou, Cao Zhiyan and Jie Linong became the governor, but I am still useless now. There is no way. Compared with them, I am indeed a little worse than the ones."

Zhang Jun said: "When it comes to this, I am sympathetic to my brother. When I joined the army, I felt that I was a person and was no worse than the other leaders. At that time, my heart was higher than the sky. After three years, I thought that it was not as good as others in leading troops. Now I am in charge of being a commander, it is really appropriate. If I don't treat myself badly, who will blame me if I can't do it?"

After saying that, he touched a bowl of wine with Yu Huan and drank it all in one go.

With the reorganization of the army, everyone's status changed, some people were happy and some were worried. Shao Ling and Niu Gao had been above everyone else, and now they were the capital of the capital, and others had nothing to say. Cao Zhiyan and Jie Linong became the governor, and Yu Huan and Zhang Jun were inevitably disappointed. When they were in Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhang Jun felt that their status was comparable to theirs and they felt good about themselves. Later, when there were more wars, they realized that they were indeed not as good as them. Yu Huan was the same. At the beginning, they led troops with Cao Zhiyan and Jie Linong, and the gap gradually appeared behind them.

After drinking two bowls of wine, Zhang Jun said: "I know my own affairs and have nothing to say. I don't lead troops this year, but I feel more comfortable with people. If it weren't for the reign of the governor of the Ministry of Justice this year, I would live a comfortable life. I feel that I am not suitable to lead troops to fight. If I don't be jealous of the two governors, I will do what I am good at if I am high-ranking officials."

Yu Huan sighed: "It's a pity that I don't know what I am good at. Leading troops to fight is always the most scattered and the worst record. When I become a magistrate in the local area, I can't manage the local area well. What's going on in the future? I'm very confused now."

Zhang Jun said: "Brother, why not take this opportunity to meet Ding Jin and work with me in the enemy's territory in the future. I tell you, don't think that it is the enemy's territory, it is particularly dangerous. In fact, as long as you are sensitive to the ears and eyes, it is as safe as the back. And when you are outside, you can make your own decisions on everything and not be subject to a lot of pickled air."

Yu Huan said, "Let's get Ding Jin's affairs first. Let me tell you that Ding Jin is a man who is generous and greedy for wealth and has no reason to talk about. The first thing he wants to do is to do is what benefits he has. Without it, it is difficult to let him cooperate."

Zhang Jun said: "This is a problem. They are all anti-Jin troops. We just lend the way to deliver food to the Hedong Yijun. How can we give him benefits? How can we explain to the governor when we come back? The governor has made it clear. At this time, Ding Jin has its own uses and cannot use force against him."

Yu Huan said, "I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I still have to find a way out from Ding Jin's subordinates. Most of his old subordinates are known to me, so I will negotiate with them. I heard that a man named Luan Qingshan recently joined him. Luan Qingshan was originally a deserter in our army and was highly appreciated by Ding Jin. If he could get help from this person, it would be much easier."

After hearing this, Zhang Jun lowered his head and thought for a while, saying, "I am not unfamiliar with Luan Qingshan. He was originally under Feng Hui and was extremely valued. However, once he went to Beiwu Town, and his legs were damaged by saving a group of female prostitutes. He was corrupted from then on and no longer appreciated by Feng Hui. Later, he went north alone and joined Ding Jin's subordinates. This person is capable and has some blood. It's a pity that I don't know how to talk to him."

Yu Huan said, "I heard that he had a good friend, named Yu Nu. Back then in Xiangcheng, it was this jade slave who called Luan Qingshan and seized a cloth from the outside. The jade slave got the reward and fled to Xiangyang."

Zhang Jun picked up the bowl, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Brother meant to go find this jade slave?"

Yu Huan nodded: "No, as long as someone pulls a thread in the middle, let us know Luan Qingshan. This jade slave has lived a safe life after arriving in Xiangyang. Recently, I heard that he wanted to open a weaving club with a daughter of Mr. Lin's family."
