Three Heroes Gather in Deer City (2)
Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao left the weapons store and returned to the Smelling Fragrance pub. After choosing a table by the window on the second floor of the pub, Zhao Yun ordered a few delicious dishes with Jizhou specialties and a pot of fine wine. The three brothers then started to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window of the Smelling Fragrance pub while drinking.
The scenery outside the window was pleasant. A small river circled the Smelling Fragrance Tavern. The river water rippled and there were a few unknown water plants growing in the river. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the river water rippled beautifully. Wu Jun looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and thought of the " Rebellion of the Yellow Turbans " that the Great Han Dynasty had just quelled. The flames of war were about to rise. He thought of the surging flow of refugees in Julu City and could not help but think of the poem " Spring View " by Old Poet Saint Du," The country is broken, the mountains and rivers are still there, the city is deep in spring." Feeling the flowers in the season, I shed tears. I hate to say goodbye to the birds. The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the letter from home was worth ten thousand gold. His white hair was even shorter, and he couldn't stand the hairpin.
"Big brother, second brother, what a good poem. Third brother has never heard such a good poem before, but it's a little too sad.”Zhang Liao knew a little about music, so he turned his head and said to Wu Jun and Zhao Yun.
"Young masters are really in a good mood! It was truly an honor to have a few young masters patronize this small shop!”The shopkeeper of Smelling Fragrance had already arrived at Wu Jun and his two brothers. He was holding a pot of fine wine in his hand." I see that you have an imposing appearance and an extraordinary heroic bearing. I believe that you will definitely rise to fame in the future." This is what this old man is giving to the young masters. Please accept it!”It seemed that this shopkeeper was quite shrewd and knew how to judge people.
"Thank you for your kind intentions. However, I don't know why your hotel has an elegant environment, reasonable prices, and delicious food. Why is business so cold and not as good as the small shop next door?”While Wu Jun was eating, he realized that the business of the Smelling Fragrance Tavern was not very prosperous. Although it was chaotic times, he still had to eat!
"Young masters, you may not know this, but the people who come to this small shop are usually merchants and pedestrians. The people nearby often eat in the small shop next door, so the business is relatively quiet.”The shopkeeper explained to the three brothers.
"Shopkeeper, I think your 'smell is good in everything, but maybe the name of the shop is not good. We can imagine that the so-called scents are flies. How could the people nearby think that they were flying insects like flies?”Wu Jun thought for a moment and seemed to be not very satisfied with the name of the shop,"Smells Fragrance", so he put forward some ideas in his heart to the shopkeeper.
"Thank you for your guidance, Young Master! When I was running this small shop, I tried very hard to improve the management level, such as the quality of service, the quality of the environment, the variety of food, and so on. Although the business is much better, I always feel that something is missing. Today, after receiving Young Master's guidance, this old man has truly been enlightened. Young Master, please bestow a name on this store!”After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he respectfully asked Wu Jun for advice.
"Shopkeeper, I don't dare to bestow you with a name. How about this, let's use the couplet of 'Blessings never come in pairs, misfortune never comes alone' as the couplet of the restaurant. Let's call it 'Double Blessings Residence', what do you think?”Wu Jun thought that in this era of chaos, many commoners hoped to be blessed and not harmed, so he thought of such a couplet and gave it such a name.
"Double Blessing Residence, what a good name! Thank you for the name, Young Master! In order to thank the young masters, all the expenses of the three young masters in the store these few days will be paid by the store. From now on, the three of you will always be the honored guests of the store.”The shopkeeper saw that Wu Jun's "Double Blessing Residence" name was indeed extraordinary, so he also came up with a "gift of peaches and plums". It was precisely because of Wu Jun's change of name that in the following years, the business of this "Double Blessing Residence" became very prosperous. It became the largest restaurant in the entire Jizhou and even ranked among the top in the Great Han Dynasty.
"In that case, the three of us will thank the shopkeeper for his kind intentions. We three brothers also wish the Double Blessing Residence a prosperous business and a bountiful income!”Wu Jun saw that this shopkeeper was also a reasonable and heroic person. If he refused, it would seem like he was petty, so he might as well accept it.
Since the name of the Double Blessing Residence had been changed, and the quality of its service and the taste of its food were both welcoming, business began to flourish, and more and more customers came in and out. Moreover, many people in Julu City knew that there were three extraordinary young masters living in the Double Blessing Residence, and one of them could recite poetry and was even more handsome and intelligent.
Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao stayed in Julu City for three days. In these three days, the Wu brothers had toured the entire Julu City, especially the yamen and city walls.
Standing on the land of Julu City, Wu Jun couldn't help but think of two famous figures in Julu City. One of them was the "initiator" of the "Yellow Turban Uprising" of the Three Kingdoms-Zhang Jiao. In the first month of the first year of Zhongping, the plague was prevalent. Zhang Jiao scattered Fu Shui to cure people and called himself "Great Virtuous Teacher". After that, Zhang Jiao gathered his younger brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and called themselves General Heaven Duke, General Earth Duke, and General Human Duke." The heavens are dead, and the yellow heavens should be established; And he told the people, saying,"Now the fate of the Han Dynasty is coming to an end, and the Great Sage has come out. You should obey the will of heaven and be upright, so as to enjoy peace.”After that, the Yellow Turban Uprising, which shook the entire world, erupted in the eight prefectures of Qing, You, Xu, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu!
Another famous figure was the Great Sage of Julu, Tian Feng. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Tian Feng, character Hao, Jizhou Julu people, well-read, resourceful, once in the court as a servant censor, because he was dissatisfied with the eunuch autocracy, abandoned his official home. Yuan Shao raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo and accepted Dong Zhuo's invitation to serve as the other driver in an attempt to save the royal family. Later, Yuan Shao used Tian Feng's strategy to destroy Gongsun Zan, pacify Hebei, and occupy four states. Tian Feng had advised Yuan Shao to seek Xu as soon as possible, to welcome the emperor, and to occupy the political initiative, but Yuan Shao did not listen. In the fourth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought for hegemony. Tian Feng also proposed a long-term strategy of fighting steadily. Yuan Shao insisted on conquering the south but did not accept it. However, when Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei in the east, he refused Tian Feng's plan of surprise attack on Xu Capital on the grounds that his son was sick. He missed the opportunity. At the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng once again discussed the strategy of defending the dangerous place and splitting his troops to plunder the enemy. He even strongly remonstrated, but Yuan Shao thought it was a hindrance and put him in prison. In the fifth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu, so he was ashamed to see Tian Feng and killed him.
Therefore, during these three days, Wu Jun had been asking the locals about Tian Feng. However, he reckoned that Tian Feng was probably hiding somewhere and had not found any information about him.
"Big brother, is this Tian Feng very powerful? Is it worth the three of us spending so much effort to find him?”Zhang Liao asked in confusion when he saw that his big brother seemed to be a little depressed after not finding out anything about Tian Feng.
"Third brother, you don't know. Tian Feng is a wise man of Julu City. He is upright and resourceful. I have heard people talk about him in Chang Mountain.”After hearing Zhang Liao's question, Zhao Yun told him what she had heard.
"Second brother is right. This Tengda Moto was indeed a great talent, but his whereabouts were unpredictable. This was something that could only be encountered by chance! Let's go to the weapon shop to get our swords and my halberd. The old master's three-day promise was about to arrive.”Although Wu Jun did not manage to find Tian Feng and felt a little regretful, he still had to move forward.
