Chapter 22: Wine meets righteous people
After Yang Song left, Zhou Yang looked at the black sack containing women and was about to open it to take a look.
But when I think of Sima Yi and the woman Yang Song sends him behind the screen, I'm afraid it's not the time to enjoy it now!
I really don’t know what this corrupt official thought, so why he had to put the woman in a black sack instead of dressing up beautifully and then sending her.
Besides, Sima Yi is now dressed up as his wife, Yang Song is bold enough to even dare to send a woman to her.
However, Yang Song said just now, "Mr. Cao has always wanted to eliminate the roots." He was curious again. He was about to unpack the bag and take a look, but he saw the woman in the bag start to struggle again.
Zhou Yang thought it would be okay to play with it, so he said at the top of his voice: "It's useless, it's your fault if you fall into my hands. Just follow the uncle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black sack was obedient and obedient.
But after a while, the movement suddenly became even more powerful, and the "um" sound became even more violent.
Zhou Yang asked, "Do you have something to say?"
The black bag immediately said a few more "um" and said that there was something to say, and there were still many things to say.
Just when Zhou Yang reached out to untie the black sack, there was another knock on the door outside the door, so he whispered beside the black sack: "Don't move around now, don't make a sound. I'll let you out in a while, otherwise I'll drag you out to feed the dog."
When I finished the last sentence, I couldn't help but think of Ma Yunlu.
Oh no, the person Cao Cao wanted to eradicate the roots, that is, the Ma family, would he find that he and Cao Pi secretly let Ma Yunlu's family go?
But it is unlikely to think about it. If it were Ma Yunlu, Ma Teng and Ma Xiu and Ma Tie should have been caught together, right!
But at this time, there was no time to think about it. The person outside the door suddenly stopped knocking on the door, but asked, "If Zhou Xianghou is about to rest, then Pang will not be able to disturb me."
It turned out to be Pang De, so he had to meet him no matter what.
So Zhou Yang responded, "Wait a minute", then dragged the black sack containing women to the back of the screen and hid it. He looked at Sima Yi lying on the bed, and saw that the other party was also looking at him with flickering eyes.
It turned out that this kid was eavesdropping on their speeches from beginning to end, but he just kept silent.
Zhou Yang made a gesture and signaled that it was time to open the door.
Sima Yi nodded with a smile, glanced at the black sack, and said, "Leave this to me to deal with, don't worry!"
So Zhou Yang opened the door again, and saw Pang De holding two jars of wine in both hands, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Pang is here to drink with me?"
Pang De smiled and said, "Has Zhou Xianghou ever drunk the banquet tonight?"
Zhou Yang immediately knew it and helped him close the door and took one of the jars of wine without hesitation.
When I opened it and smelled it, a hot and fragrant smell came to my nose.
"I didn't expect that Brother Pang actually had Qiang secret wine, and it seemed that he could create many jars at any time." Zhou Yang said with a snickering look, "Where is it hidden?"
"Why hide?" Pang De said, "If you want to steal wine, you may be the only one in the world, Zhou Xianghou. How can anyone else know how to steal wine? How can you steal it?"
"Brother Pang is right, come on, let's do it."
Zhou Yang raised the jar of wine and drank it with Pang De for a long time, letting the wine flow down from his mouth, without wiping and touching it.
The two of them took at least a dozen sips in a row, and except for their red faces, they did not feel any uncontrollable emotions.
Once this hidden dragon wine enters the mouth, it will rush all over the body like a living dragon, making people feel excited. I want to find someone to fight, so it has become the war wine of elite Qiang soldiers.
However, Pound was like drinking ordinary wine, and there was nothing else except feeling happy.
But he looked at Zhou Yang and was also curious, and couldn't help but praise: "It seems that Zhou Xianghou is indeed very human. Since General Ma left Xiliang, Pang hasn't been so happy for a long time."
Zhou Yang naturally knew that General Ma was referring to as Ma Teng, not Ma Chao.
Ma Teng has a close relationship with the Qiang people, and it is not surprising that there is Zanglong wine in Wuwei.
"Did that guy Yang Song come to find Zhou Xianghou just now?" Pang De took another sip of wine, his eyes fell on the box on the ground, and suddenly said, "If Pang is sure, Zhou Xianghou agrees to his request?"
"Brother Pang laughed." Zhou Yang had known that he had this question, so he answered, "The key to this kind of thing depends on Brother Pang himself. How can he handle it with just a box of bribes? I just don't know what Brother Pang thought."
"If I wanted to serve Zhang Lu, how could Pang perform on the street?" Pang De said frankly.
"It seems that Yang Song does have vision," Zhou Yang said, "Otherwise, how could he choose Brother Pang instead of taking a fancy to Ma Chao like Yan Pu?"
"After that being said," Pang De said with a sad expression, "Ma Chao's rebellion is indeed very heartbroken. This cannot be attributed to Han Sui's mere words."
"It was only since General Ma Teng was intercepted halfway, and it was Ma Yunlu who came to rescue him, but not Ma Chao. I expected that this would happen sooner or later." Zhou Yang paused and asked again, "Ma Chao was so affectionate. When Cao Gong defeated Ma Chao in Weishui, why did Brother Pang still follow him to Hanzhong?"
"This is why Pang came to find Zhou Xianghou tonight." Pang De said seriously, "Since the Chuping period, Pang has followed General Ma Teng to attack the anti-Qiang and rebel against Di, and has made some military achievements. Later, General Ma Teng entered the capital, and Pang stayed in Wuwei until he heard that General Ma Teng's family was beheaded in Yecheng, and Ma Chao was defeated by Cao Gong in Weishui. However, although he and I joined Hanzhong together, the purpose was different."
"Brother Pang is to avenge General Ma, while Ma Chao is trying to make a comeback through Zhang Lu's steps." Zhou Yang guessed, "That's right!"
"The Marquis of Zhou Xiang was right." Pang De admitted, "But Yang Song did not really want to oppose the Wei army, and Ma Chao did not really want to avenge his father, otherwise I, Pang, would have gone to the battlefield again."
"It seems that this wine is not for friends to drink tonight, but for enemies to drink, right?" Zhou Yang probably grasped some of the outlines, but at the same time he said in his heart, "Is it the last time I'll drink?"
"Maybe! Maybe when you and I meet again, they will be on the battlefield." After saying that, Pang De took a few sips of Tibetan Dragon Wine.
"Maybe it will be fighting side by side, not necessarily." Zhou Yang said.
"The Zhou Xianghou was joking." Pang De put down the wine jar heavily and said, "If Zhou Xianghou had not had a relationship with Miss Ma, and had run to Yecheng regardless of his fate in order to save General Ma Teng's family's life, Pang would never have come to you tonight to have a drink."
"It seems that Brother Pang's intelligence network is also quite broad!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
After saying that, the two of them held the accent and drank it hard at the same time, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
It seems that if Yang Song had not been greedy for wealth and had no desire to fight, Pang De might have been recruited by him and fought with the Wei army with all his heart.
There are countless contradictions in the mind of this general.
From the news that Ma Teng was beheaded back to Xiliang, until Ma Chao was defeated in Weinan, he was in a conflicted mood.
He was neither willing to continue to follow a loving lord like Ma Chao nor became a chess piece for Yang Song to be profitable. In the end, he would rather go down on the streets.
It was not until he learned that the person who drank with him was Zhou Xianghou, who had a deep affection with Jack Ma, that he took advantage of his free time after the banquet tonight to find him to continue drinking.
Zhou Yang couldn't help asking again: "I was wondering, is the main reason why Brother Pang came to me tonight to drink, is he planning to support Yang Song in fighting with the Wei army, or continue to go back to the streets to perform?"
Pang De spat out a sip of alcohol and said depressedly: "I don't plan on either. Pang just wants to ask Zhou Xianghou for one thing."
Zhou Yang said: "Brother Pang, please speak."
Pang De said sadly: "If Zhou Xianghou can return to Xudu safely, please put an extra incense stick for Pang in front of General Ma Teng's tomb. Pang's wish is enough!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Why is Brother Pang so sure? I will bury General Ma Teng?"
Pang De said: "When Hou Zhouxiang was able to remember the kindness of Miss Ma in the past, he would not hesitate to run to Yecheng to protect General Ma Teng's family. How could he let General Ma Teng's family abandon his body after his death? "
Zhou Yang did not intend to tell him immediately that the Ma Teng family had not suffered any misfortune, so he asked, "From Brother Pang's tone, it seems that it is difficult to leave Hanzhong."
Pang De shook his head and said, "As the commander of the 100,000 Wei army, since he has the courage to run into the enemy formation alone, he naturally has the confidence to go back safely. Therefore, Pang believes that Zhou Xianghou has the ability to leave Hanzhong, but there are three people, Zhou Xianghou should not pay attention."
Zhou Yang asked, "Which three people?"
Pang De said: "The first one is Yan Pu. This person is the chief adviser around Zhang Lu. He speaks very well and is also the main figure who fully advocates the use of Ma Chao to defeat the Wei army in Yangping Pass. At the same time, he has a backing that cannot be underestimated."
Zhou Yang sneered: "Of course, the pro-war faction supported him behind his back. I guess they should be these gentry headed by Zhang Kui!"
Pang Dedao: "These people don't want Hanzhong to fall into the hands of the Wei army. Only in this way can they protect their own land, power and interests, but they think of withdrawing from Yang Songru."
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "But it seems that Yang Song is still more sleek!"
Pang De said again: "The other one is the scholar who came with Wu envoy Zhang Wen. I wonder if Zhou Xianghou had noticed it?"
Zhou Yang thought that Sun Wu sent two envoys to Hanzhong this time. In addition to Zhang Wen, there was indeed another young man dressed as a weak scholar.
But he was always drinking and looking for pleasure. When he was competing with swords at the banquet, he was also one of the people who cheered and didn't look like a person.
But Pang De mentioned him in a key detail, and it seems that this person should have a certain background.
"If anyone underestimates this young scholar, he will pay a heavy price." Pang De said righteously, "This son is the most outstanding aide in the younger generation of Jiangdongji - Lu Xun."
