Chapter 69 Jiangxia Hongmen

Liu Bei also refused to accept it. After Liu Yanzhi asked for it three times and four times, Liu Bei reluctantly accepted it and ordered people to carefully carry it into the back hall, continue to have a banquet, and talk about major events in the world. Everyone was worried about the Cao army's massive move south.

Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao originally had 200,000 Qingzhou troops, and got 500,000 Yuan Shao's surrendered troops, and 200,000 new soldiers in the Central Plains, and 300,000 Jingzhou troops, and no less than one million troops. Can you guys have a plan to fight the enemy?"

When Liu Yanzhi saw Kong Ming shaking the feather fan lightly, he looked peaceful. He knew that he was deliberately tempting, so he said, "Although Cao's army is powerful, it is an old army that is already exhausted. Although there are many surrendered troops in Jingzhou, it will take some time to command the tacit understanding. The northerners are not familiar with the water station, the land is not suitable for the people, and the people are mixed together. There will inevitably be a plague. A million troops will fight in half. In my opinion, it is a million local chickens and dogs."

After hearing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed and left the case and bowed: "Governor General, please accept a bow from Bei."

Liu Yanzhi hurriedly got up and helped him. Liu Bei burst into tears and said, "If you have any words from the Grand Commander, you will feel at ease."

After the banquet, Liu Bei held Liu Yanzhi and refused to let go, and insisted on pulling him back to the bedroom and sleeping, and put Liu Yan's hair straightened up, but he also knew that this was a necessary means for the lord to win over talents. Liu Bei really developed a love for talents and had to take over himself.

Liu Handong and Lei Meng were not treated as such high, but after they returned to their house, they placed a pallet covered with red silk on the table. They lifted the silk and piled up copper coins like a hill. Liu Bei has always been poor. When Yang was defeated, his wife and children almost lost, and the thin softness was not brought out at all. I guess these huge sums of money that were invited to buy people’s hearts must have been borrowed from Liu Qi.

But in the eyes of the second general, there was a lot of broken copper and iron in front of him, which was large in size and weight, and he couldn't take it away, and he couldn't spend it even in chaos.

However, there were also gifts. Liu Bei picked two beauties to serve them, both of whom were fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls bought near Jiangxia. This time, let alone Liu Handong, even a beast like Lei Meng could not speak, and he returned the money and the beauty intact. After Liu Bei heard about it, he couldn't help but admire the two of them even more and thought that as long as he took Liu Yanzhi, he would not worry about the two generals.

Liu Yanzhi finally didn't roll the sheets with Uncle Liu. He fled back to his own warship on the excuse of urinating. Late at night, the defeated soldiers who fled from Changbanpo successively took a small boat to Jiangxia on the riverside. Zhuge Liang personally asked these people. He learned that there were indeed gods and ghosts that day, and he felt that Liu Yanzhi and others were mysterious.

The next day, the military advisor of the Omi Army, Paiguo, arrived in Jiangxia. He also dressed up with feather fan and crane cloak. His style was imitated by Zhuge Kongming, but his youth was better than his youth. The party was careful in patriotism and his face was white and bookish. Compared with him, Zhuge Liang seemed to be a copycat version, and the rural village man pretended to be a scholar.

As soon as the Party and the country arrived, the situation changed suddenly. The ink in the belly of the history professor who was well-read in poetry and books was not comparable to that of Zhuge Liang, like the ancients. After a talk, the general trend of the world suddenly became clear. Party and Patriotic not only knew Cao Cao, Sun Wu, Xichuan Liu Zhang, Hanzhong and other princes, but also knew the Xiongnu, Qianghu, Xianbei, Goguryeo, Kucha, Shule, Khotan, Shache and other countries in the Western Regions. Their broad knowledge was amazing and their style was even more outstanding.

Zhuge Liang secretly found Liu Bei and made a suggestion: "Minjiang civil officials have the talent of conquering the world, and military generals have the courage of thousands of men. It can be seen that his lord is a hero who will compete with us for the world in the future. Liang had a plan and sent someone to quickly recruit Yun Chang. At the dinner party, Zilong led five hundred swords and axes to ambush the two sides. The two generals of Guan and Zhang guarded the lord, smashed the cups as a trumpet, and cut the ragged swords of Jinjiang civil and military into flesh mud, which could be eliminated."

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this: "Why did the military advisor say this? When the enemy is in front of him, he should share the same hatred of the enemy. How can he kill allies first? How can he let the people in the world see it?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Although Cao Cao is powerful, he is just a hero. Sun Quan from Jiangdong is not worth mentioning. Those who compete with the lord for the world in the future will definitely approach Liu's family. Although he is anxious to fight against Cao Cao, he will not be anxious to do this."

Liu Bei lowered his head and thought, what Zhuge Liang said was not unreasonable. Since he started the army, he had no independent territory for decades, either relying on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, or Lu Bu and Liu Biao. When Liu Biao died, he was like a loser. Now he lived in Jiangxia and borrowed the territory of Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi. Liu Qi was an incompetent and weak person, and his subordinates had no help. He was an uncle who could occupy the nest, but the sudden emergence of the army. Liu Yugan was known as a relative of the Han Dynasty and his subordinates were extraordinary. He was simply a copy of Liu Guanzhang and Kong Ming. If they joined forces with Liu Qi, even if Cao Cao was defeated in the future, he would have no place to establish himself.

Kong Ming is not the kind of person who only cares about the superficiality in front of him. He rarely makes such a decisive decision. Liu Bei thought about it over and over again and decided to act according to his plan.

A fastboat went to Xiakou and took Guan Yunchang over. At the same time, Zhao Yun secretly summoned five hundred elite military academies, each with long swords and big axes, and stood in the two-box houses with helmets and armors. The banquet was ready, and Liu Bei sent someone to invite Omi's civil and military officials.

Liu Yanzhi and others were not suspected of being cheated. They were about to attend the banquet when an arrow suddenly flew over and was pricked on the cabin door. A piece of silk tied to the arrow shaft was taken down to observe. The three words were written in Hongmen Banquet, and the font was written in Lishu. It can be seen that it was written by a warrior.

Everyone knows the allusion of Hongmen Banquet, which was first from Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian. The Annals of Xiang Yu" so it is not wrong for people in the Eastern Han Dynasty to use this allusion.

"What should I do?" Liu Yanzhi was stunned. He couldn't guess who was informing him, nor could he believe that Liu Bei, who wanted to sleep with his feet yesterday, would kill him today.

"Go!" The party was determined and determined, "I have a way to deal with them."

The four of them didn't even bring their entourages, they only wore battle robes and no armor, and even threw their swords on the boat. They went to the banquet without any warning and came to the prefect of Jiangxia. Liu Yanzhi felt that the atmosphere was unusual. The two sides of the mansion were breathing heavily, and at least there were more than 200 strong men hidden on one side. It seemed that the information was true. Liu Bei, a hypocrite, hid under the ambush to deal with him.

When Liu Bei heard that the distinguished guest was coming, he came to the mansion to greet him in person. The two generals of Guan and Zhang and Zhuge Liang followed him. Seeing that the four of them didn't even bring their own weapons, Liu Bei was secretly shocked and asked, "Why didn't Yanzhi even bring his sword?"

Liu Yan said straight: "Why do you need to bring a sword when you come to the envoy to have a banquet?"

Liu Bei was ashamed and invited the four of them to enter the room, and set up a banquet, and talked slowly. After a while, Dang Paiguo saw that Liu Bei picked up the wine glass under Zhuge Liang's eyes, but he did not invite him to drink, so he knew that he was hesitating whether to start, so he said, "Your way to drink is boring, it is better for someone to perform a trick."

Liu Bei said: "What trick?"

The Patriotic Road to the Party: "My lord has three generals under his command, including the wind, thunder and lightning, each with his own unique skills. Today, let the envoys and the two generals of Guan and Zhang, and the military advisor Zhuge, open their eyes together."

Liu Bei said: "Okay."

Lei Meng took action first, swung his sleeves, and threw a grenade into the empty yard. It exploded with a bang, which made Liu Bei's face change. Zhang Fei held the hilt of the sword, and Zhuge Liang's hand holding the feather fan was trembling, and only Yun Chang squinted his eyes and was unmoved.

The huge explosion alarmed the soldiers who were ambushing the two hatches, but this was not a sign of an appointment. If Zhao Yun did not issue an order, no one dared to rush out.

Then Liu Handong, who opened fire with a pistol hidden in his sleeve and hit the copper candlestick in the yard. Four small pawns carried the candlestick to the hall for everyone to watch. They saw three holes on the metal platform. If it hits people, you can imagine it.

Finally, Liu Yanzhi finished the finale. He performed a move to the wind and flew straight into the sky under everyone's gaze. After a moment, he landed and said, "I'm laughing."

Liu Bei asked: "How many miles can Yanzhi fly in a day?"

Liu Yan said straight: "If it lasts for twelve hours, the wind can be five thousand miles, and the wind can be three thousand miles."

Liu Bei suddenly realized that no wonder Yanzhi left the navy to rush to help alone. The military advisor was right, he flew in.

The three generals showed their skills, and Liu Bei had no intention of harming each other. Even Zhuge Liang regretted it. If he had just thrown the cup and attacked, he would probably die first.

Only Guan Yunchang, who had always been above the top, still had a calm face and stroked his beautiful beard and snorted gently.

The deterrence tactic has worked, and the Party Patriotic said again: "If you have something to ask for, I hope you will not refuse."

Liu Bei said: "But it's okay."

The Patriotic Road to the Party: "My Lord is a secluded person in the world. He has no choice but to raise an army to fight against Cao. We have always admired the wise and famous emperors and are willing to offer them money and food to the entire city of Nei River."

Liu Bei was shocked. This was too surprising. Tao Qian asked Xuzhou for the general trend. Liu Biao had other intentions to accept himself, but it was unreasonable for Omi to come to join us. Could it be that he, a Han clan member who was completely incompatible with him, really has such great appeal?

Zhuge Liang was afraid that Liu Bei would refuse, so he agreed without being reserved, so he deliberately tentatively said: "Sun Quan of Jiangdong occupies six counties and 81 prefectures, and is a wise ruler. With great talents such as Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, you can go and vote for him."

Dang Maiguo said contemptuously: "Sun Quan is a child, how can he be compared with the envoy? Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are just like Er, the hero in the world, only Emperor Liu."

Zhuge Liang then believed it and wanted to give a big gift from behind the desk. Unexpectedly, the bronze wine lord was poured on the sleeve of the robe, and it fell on the brick floor and made a crisp sound.

The soldiers who were lying in the two sides heard the order and rushed out, their eyes filled with bright long swords and axes. Zhao Yun walked in front with a blue light sword in his hand. The armor he wore was the chain mail that Liu Yanzhi gave to Liu Bei yesterday.

Liu Bei immediately stopped: "Why don't you retreat quickly!"

When Zhao Yunyuan saw that there was no intention of taking action in the hall, the lord was full of shame and angry. He knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly led the knife and axe driver to retreat quickly.

The atmosphere in the hall was very awkward, and Dang Maiguo smiled and said, "The envoy also practices military operations in the mansion. Could it be to guard against Cao's assassins?"

When Liu Bei saw the steps, he laughed and said, "That's right."

Dang Aiguo and others ate a few more glasses of wine, and said that they were tired and returned to the boat to rest. When the third day of the day, the Orisu Navy stayed and the four of them left on the boat.

At dawn, the leader of the Ori River Navy reported to Liu Bei with a roster, saying that the military advisor had handed over the entire army's money and grain. Liu Bei asked Yanzhi urgently where he was. When he learned that he had escaped overnight, he couldn't help but burst into tears and regret it.

Zhuge Liang hurried over and said, "Lord, don't cry, these four people are not humans, I have sent a message from Anime's old friend, and I will write clearly the future and the ends."

After saying that, he presented the silk book, Liu Bei looked at it and said, "Did they come for Zuo Ci?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Zuo Ci is a master of Taoism, but I have some interactions with him. I should repay you and help them find Zuo Ci."
