Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 58 Conflict
The sun rose, the moon in the western sky slowly faded away, and there were more pedestrians on the street.

The Huitong Bridge connects the two banks of the Luo River, and the bridgehead is the bustling area of ​​the city.Although the bridge was burnt down by the Golden Soldiers, fortunately, it was not serious. After simple repairs, it was still passable, but heavy objects could not cross the bridge.

Watching guests holding bowls, squatting on the roadside to drink soup.The soup bowl in one hand and the pancake in the other are really inconvenient.Yang Shen said: "We should make some tables and stools, otherwise it will be inconvenient for guests. When I go back today, I will find some people to do it."

Zhang Jun said, "There are many bamboos in Luoyang. It is not easy to make tables and stools? Some bamboos are cut in the nearby mountains and they will be made soon."

Yang Shen shook his head: "Those things are not difficult for those who know it, but not for those who are difficult. Although there are many people in the army, I don't know if anyone can make bamboo utensils. If no one knows this craft, it is a little difficult. ."

Zhang Jun shook his head and stopped talking.

Different from later generations, Luoyang at this time was full of bamboos, and the surrounding mountains were everywhere.People eat bamboo shoots, use bamboo utensils, and even when Kaifeng is building a large-scale construction project, they come to Luoyang to cut bamboo.To a certain extent, many traditions of Jiangnan in later generations came from this.

Ten years ago, when people talked about the best places in the world, they all said that they were "born in Luoyang", which is the most suitable place for human beings to live in the world.Until the Song Dynasty went to the south and was stationed in Lin'an, there was a saying that "there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below".Since then, Luoyang's status in China has plummeted and it has gradually become an ordinary city.The Jin Army's attack directly changed China's revolution, and the Central Plains was no longer the focus of the country.Just like the late Tang and Five Dynasties, Chang'an was abolished by years of continuous conquest.

The tradition of Tang and Song Dynasties, including imperial buildings, is of black tiles and white walls, which is very different from the splendor of the Forbidden City in Beijing.Many styles of Jiangnan architecture in later generations followed the Tang and Song Dynasties, but the Central Plains itself changed.At this time, Luoyang City, although it was famous, the city was already dilapidated.If there is no accident, it will continue to decline, and the thousand-year-old king will disappear.

When everyone was busy, several soldiers came over from Huitong Bridge with knives on their shoulders.Seeing that Yang Shen was very lively here, one said: "I heard that Wang Tong's army is selling breakfast here today, but I didn't expect it to be so lively."

Another said: "It's really a coincidence! We just didn't have breakfast, go and have a look!"

Several people came to the stall.One stepped forward and pointed to the soup in the cauldron and said, "Master, what are you selling here?"

Seeing that they were carrying knives, Yang Shen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is mutton soup. The food here is sold by the poor, and it is not in the eyes of a few people. There is no way, let's make some hard money."

The soldier raised his head to look at Yang Shen, and said nonchalantly, "I'll try it with a bowl. Also, what's there to eat? Bring it here and have a taste. If it's delicious, we'll take care of your business too!"

Yang Shen did not dare to refuse.He instructed his soldiers to give this man a bowl of soup and two more hu cakes.

The soldier brought the soup, and when he saw others eating steamed buns, he said displeasedly, "Why are they all eating meat and steamed buns? They gave me cakes? Are you kidding me? The prefect of Henan is Xiao Zhai Xianggong! Are you? I don't know how to write dead words!"

Yang Shen hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? If you drink soup, you should eat this cake. Break the cake and soak it in the soup. ."

The soldier said: "Don't talk so much nonsense! Quickly bring me some!"

Yang Shen had no choice, and ordered the soldiers to take two buns and hand them to the soldiers next to them.

The leading soldier took a sip of the soup and said, "Hey," "This soup is delicious, but I didn't expect it. We didn't eat breakfast, so each of us had a big bowl. By the way, let's get some more meat buns."

Yang Shenzheng wanted to order.Zhang Jun on the side stood up abruptly and said, "We do business here, but we need to collect money."

After hearing this, several soldiers laughed together.The headed one said, "Do you know what this place is? Luoyang City is all guarded by Xiao Zhai Xianggong, so you can do business. We come to eat and want to collect money?"

Zhang Jun said: "Don't scare me. There are 2000 people under Dong Tong's account. They don't give money for food, and they think we are nothing! Besides, Mr. Zhai came to collect Luoyang a few months ago, but he was defeated by the Jin army. On the contrary. Our army has won! How dare you act wild here!"

Yang Shen watched coldly from the sidelines, and did not step forward to persuade him.Zhang Jun is right, if the people in Dong Xianjun don't give money, how can the business continue?There were 2000 people in his army, and they were eaten alive.

Seeing that Zhang Jun was not afraid, the soldier couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.Hearing him speak rudely, I couldn't help it.

The one in the lead came out with a bang, pointed at Zhang Jun and said sharply: "You are rude! Take my knife!"

After he finished speaking, he slashed a knife to scare Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun is afraid of him.He grabbed a rolling pin on the chopping board and jumped into the street.Pointing at the soldier, he said, "Today, if you want to eat and drink for free, come, come, come, try this stick in my hand first!"

Seeing Zhang Jun's aggressiveness, the leading soldiers were a little scared.Turning his head to look at his subordinates, he said bravely: "I beat you today, but it was said that we deceived your guest army. Swords and guns have no eyes, I advise you not to ask for trouble!"

Zhang Jun shook his rolling pin and just said, "Come! Come! Let's compete!"

Seeing that no one came up to persuade him, the soldier had no choice.I had no choice but to straighten the knife and step forward: "It depends on how good you are!"

After speaking, Ting Dao took a big step forward and slashed towards Zhang Jun's shoulder.

Zhang Jun was originally a ruthless man, and he has been training in the army these days, far from being comparable to before.Seeing the knife coming, he twisted his body and chose to avoid it to the other side.The rolling pin in his hand slammed into the soldier's arm.The soldier was in pain and shrank suddenly, and the knife fell to the ground.

Zhang Jun stepped on the knife and pointed at the soldiers with a rolling pin: "It's useless! I don't have the slightest ability, and I thought we would come here to eat and drink for free! Quickly hand over the money and go back early!"

How did the soldier hold his face?Taking a few steps back, he reached the group of companions, and said sternly: "This fellow bullies us in the street, how good! Everyone went up together and took his life! Don't be afraid, there are naturally people in Luoyang City who will call the shots for us!"

After hearing this, several soldiers drew their swords together.He formed a semi-arc shape and surrounded Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun faced several people with a rolling pin and said, "If you want to come up to die, no one will stop you! I said in advance that if someone gets hurt or even dies during the fight, don't blame me! Grandpa's killing skills. , it's not a child's joke!"

After he finished speaking, he slammed his feet hard, picked up the knife on the ground, and grabbed it in his hand.

Looking at Yang Shen next to him was startled.He hurriedly said: "The opposite is my own family, don't use knives! Teach them to teach them, but don't kill people!"

Zhang Jun agreed.With a cold snort, he threw the knife behind him, still holding a rolling pin at a few people.

Several soldiers couldn't help muttering in their hearts, not knowing who was on the opposite side.Seeing him helping to sell breakfast here, his status should not be high.But a few of them pointed at them with knives, and the one in the lead didn't care, and even told him not to use knives, this person is not simple.

In Wang Xiao's hunting army, Zhang Jun has always been among the thirty people who studied.Although his grades are good, he has never led troops, nor has he clearly assigned a position.However, because of his ability, the people in the army admired Zhang Jun very much.The reason why he came to help sell breakfast is just because Zhang Jun wants to eat more, not because of his low status.
