Chapter 68 Hongmen Banquet

"General, General, tonight, hold a banquet to invite the generals in the army to discuss major events."

Inside the tent, an elegant man held a book in his left hand and gently stroked his beard with his right hand, looking leisurely and contented.

"I understand, you go down first."

When the man heard the report from his subordinates, he finally raised his delicate face and a faint smile on his lips.

The soldier in charge of the order did not dare to be negligent when he heard the man's order. He immediately bowed respectfully and then slowly retreated outside the tent.

After the commander's soldiers left, the elegant man gently put down the books in his hand, stared at the green smoke rising from the table, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Is this banquet a blessing or a disaster?"

The man's name is Li Jing, who is a child of the Li family in Shangqiu City. Not only has he read poetry and books since he was a child, but his talent for martial arts is also different from that of ordinary people. Now he has reached the peak of his home.

With his extraordinary talents and the huge power of his family, Li Jing became a senior general within a few years of joining the army and was deeply loved by the soldiers in the army.

Li Jing likes military life very much, and admires the young and promising general Huan Chang, who dares to make drastic reforms.

However, the new law promulgated by Huan Chang had already touched the interests of the nobles. As a wealthy family in the Song Dynasty, the Li family naturally had to strongly oppose it.

From Li Jing's own perspective, it is not difficult to see that the new law promulgated by Huan Chang can indeed make the Song State become more prosperous.

From his own perspective, Li Jing actually wanted to support the new method and even had the idea of ​​abandoning everything to help Huan Chang.

However, Li Jing's identity was destined to be unable to be so free and easy, and he would send someone to assassinate Huan Chang against his conscience.

"It's all for the family."

Li Jing showed a bitter smile on his face, then sighed heavily, and placed the book in his hand on the table.

"Come, call a few generals."

In the military camp, there were lights and colorful decorations, which were very lively.

There were more and more generals coming to the banquet, and Huan Chang also chatted and laughed at the banquet, greeting the generals cordially.

"General Li Jing is here!"

At this moment, Huan Chang suddenly heard the voice of the messenger, and his smile on his face couldn't help but calm down.

But soon, Huan Chang's face was filled with smiles again, and then walked towards the door, actually preparing to greet Li Jing in person.

In fact, with Li Jing's status in the army, he is also qualified to be treated like this.

"General Li is late today, so he will definitely be fined three drinks of wine during the banquet!"

"Since the general is talking to you, don't talk about three cups, even the last thirty cups will be willing to be punished!"

Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, and then walked hand in hand toward the banquet.

Li Jing came late, and the banquet began immediately after he took his seat. The generals in the army were all generous people, so they naturally drank happily during the banquet.

For a moment, the atmosphere was very lively.

After three rounds of wine, Huan Chang suddenly stood up, held a wine glass in his hand, and turned around to the generals.

Seeing Huan Chang's actions, the generals who were drinking happily suddenly calmed down and all looked at Huan Chang.

"I am not talented, thanking you for your respect, and I have entrusted you with important tasks. I will work hard every day and dare not slackew on the slightest."

"All the generals are all pillars of the Song State, and they are also seniors. If you have done anything wrong since you became the General, I hope you can forgive me."

"Today, I will drink this glass of wine and apologize to the generals for their previous mistakes."

After saying that, Huan Chang raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

When the generals heard Huan Chang's words, their faces changed slightly and they all hurriedly stood up.

Then someone said, "Although the general is young, he has made great achievements in military affairs and is familiar with military strategies and strategies, he is also very favorable to us."

"The General is a pillar of our Song State. His actions are remarkable. Where did he make any mistakes?"

I have to say that Huan Chang is still quite prestige in the army.

In the past, bandits were rampant in the territory of Song State, and many of the generals present also wanted to fight against the bandits, but for various reasons, they could only watch the people of Song State being bullied by bandits.

Since Huan Chang served as a general in the State of Song, he not only quickly eliminated the bandits in the territory, but also killed the Shanhai Gang like a warning to the monkey, making many generals feel very satisfying.

Moreover, in order to enhance Huan Chang's prestige, Song Gong also revealed Huan Chang's true identity. Everyone knew that the young man in front of him was not only the descendant of the powerful Shujian Pavilion, but also the descendant of Duke Xiang of Song.

Perhaps the generals in the army did not know much about Shujian Pavilion, but as the great monarch in the history of the Song Dynasty, Song Xianggong could not know any official with status in the Song Dynasty.

Even though the time of Duke Xiang of Song was nearly three hundred years ago, the generals still had awe of Duke Xiang.

The Song State was originally a country that focused on tradition and attached great importance to inheritance and bloodline, even these generals were the same.

Logically speaking, since Huan Chang was a descendant of Duke Xiang of Song, he should be the orthodox state of Song. Even if Huan Chang had no intention of seizing the position of Duke of Song, his identity was still very prominent.

Therefore, even though Huan Chang had already served as the general at a young age, the generals in the army did not complain much.

Now when Huan Chang said this, all the generals felt a little frightened.

Looking around for a week, Huan Chang took all the expressions of everyone, but found that Li Jing was still smiling and couldn't help but start to sneer.

"Smack!"

Huan Chang slapped his hands, and before the generals could figure out what to give birth, they heard neat footsteps.

"Tait!"

Well-equipped soldiers holding crossbows rushed from all directions, surrounding all the generals who came to the banquet.

"Master, General, what's going on!"

The generals looked at the cold crossbows aimed at him, and they felt a little numb in their hearts, and asked Huan Chang with a pale face.

Huan Chang carried his hands on his back and walked among the many generals as if nothing had happened.

"Since I took office as a general, I thought I was very good at all to you. Even if you have any bad things, you can just ask me, and there is no need to send crossbowmen in the army to assassinate me."

"Do you think I, Mr. Huan, is easy to bully?"

When the generals heard this, they realized that their faces were different immediately.

These generals knew that the general was assassinated. The special crossbows were used exclusively for the army, and these generals could not guess.

Everyone knew that there were people in the army who wanted to deal with the general, but no one dared to say anything.

Because the generals could think that the power behind those who dared to deal with the general was absolutely extraordinary, and they didn't want to get involved.

However, seeing the general's current posture, the generals naturally knew that Huan Chang was going to fight back.

After understanding this, the generals will calm down.

Because many people are not involved at all, even when faced with many crossbows, there is still no need to worry at all.

"General Li, what do you think?"
