Chapter 12 The four parties gather together to camp
King Wuyou led the Qi army and stopped a big battle between the Yan army and the Qin army with just one arrow and a halberd. At the same time, he also established his prestige among the garrison in most of the cities. For the Yan army and the Qin army,
King Wuyou had no intention of interfering in the dispute, and was happy to see them fight and both sides would lose. However, Tao Rongtian came to beg in a hurry, but it was not easy to disobey him. He also thought that this was also an opportunity to establish his prestige, so he brought his troops and horses to stop it.
.
Now that both parties have been suppressed by him, he can take advantage of the opportunity at night to win over each other. King Wuyou knows very well that the armies coming to Dadu are all elite soldiers of his country, and the generals are also trusted confidants of the king. Once
When the deposed emperor's jade seal appears, it will be a real fight of flesh and blood. It is necessary to find out the details of the other three parties in advance and then convey your intentions.
It has not yet reached night, the sky is dark, the autumn sun is setting in the west, the sky is filled with red clouds, and the breeze is blowing. In the Qi army camp, soldiers have already set up bonfires to skin, wash and pickle the wolves, badgers, rabbits, and finches.
, put it on a plate aside, and just wait until the bonfire is strong, then you can put it on the barbecue.
Youdi came first with more than a dozen generals from Chen's army. As soon as he entered the Qi camp, he ordered the accompanying soldiers to unload more than a dozen jars of wine from their horses and said to Lu Zheng who was standing at the camp gate to greet him: "This is
I brought Xinghua Village so that the prince can have a taste.
Wang Bingwen and his men also arrived soon after. When he came up to meet Lu Zheng and Yu Di, he ordered the accompanying general to let the soldiers unload some food. Then he and Yu Di walked side by side to King Wuyou's handsome tent.
King Wuyou heard their voices and came out with Ye Xing. Wang Bingwen and Youdi hurriedly took a few steps and followed King Wuyou into the tent.
As soon as they sat down, they heard Ren Wei's hearty laughter outside. He laughed loudly and said from a distance: "Prince Wuyou is such a cheerful person. My old man, Ren, likes to eat such fresh game. You can just
This delicacy is ready, I’ll also let you try our Xifeng wine.”
Ye Xing stood up to greet him outside the tent and said to him: "General Ren, please come inside quickly. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
When Ren Wei came in, Prince Wuyou stood up to greet him. Youdi naturally laughed and said a few words to Ren Wei. Wang Bingwen still looked indifferent and just sat there drinking tea.
Ren Wei didn't look at him. Ren Wei didn't pay attention to him. He only met King Wuyou and Youdi and sat aside. A guard brought tea to them, and the four of them drank it slowly.
King Wuyou looked outside and saw that the sky was getting dark. He guessed that Huang Ji didn't want to wade into the muddy waters of his family and couldn't come, so he stood up, greeted everyone, and went outside to eat, drink, and chat.
.
Several people arrived at the bonfire together. When the soldiers saw the prince coming, they knew it was time to barbecue, so they put the pre-prepared game on the rack and grilled it.
After a while, bursts of aroma came out. Ren Wei sniffed repeatedly, patted his thigh and said: "It's so delicious, it's so delicious. Let's see if I can go hunting in the jungle with the king someday to see if I can hunt something.
What a big guy."
While they were talking, they saw Tao Rongtian coming in from outside, dismounted, handed the horse to the entourage behind him, and ran over here. As he walked, he said: "I knew you were going to start eating and drinking, I came just in time.
It’s time!”
King Wuyou smiled and said: "It just so happens!"
Youdi also stood up with a smile and said loudly: "We have prepared good wine and good meat here, and we are not just serving free food!"
After saying that, everyone burst out laughing.
Tao Rongtian was not in a hurry. When he got there, he first met with King Wuyou and greeted everyone. Then he waved his followers to fetch some big fish from his horse and said with a smile: "I will go to the river this afternoon."
I keep watch on the side, waiting for the fishermen to harvest them. When I see the big ones, I buy them. We have meat to eat and fish soup to drink. This is so delicious!"
Everyone applauded in unison, and Lu Zheng quickly ordered the soldiers to take it, clean it up, and let the Huotou Army cook the fish soup, set it aside for a few days, pierce it with bamboo skewers, sprinkle with seasonings, and roast it together on the bonfire.
system.
Several of their generals sat at the same table with King Wushu, and the generals of other families also sat on the tables on both sides. King Wushu asked: "Shall we drink wine from one family tonight, or wine from each family?"
Come and try it?”
Ren Wei was the first to answer: "You must drink my Xifeng wine. Your Majesty, remember to taste the wine I brought first tonight."
Youdi also continued: "Your Majesty, I also brought a few jars of Xinghuacun. They are all aged wines, which are extremely mellow. Please taste them with Your Majesty and everyone."
King Wuyou nodded and said: "Then let's compare the various bars. We also have good wines produced in Qi State, and it just so happens that you can taste them."
When Lu Zheng saw King Wuyou's arrangement, he ordered his soldiers to take several jars of the wine brought by Youdi and Ren Wei and put them on various tables. He also went to get all the domestically produced wine and put them on the table.
, the aroma of meat, fresh fish, mellow wine, and all kinds of delicacies are floating around, King Wushu invites everyone to drink as much as they want.
After a few bowls of wine were gone, everyone was a little tipsy. Wang Bingwen and Ren Wei no longer looked at each other as they had when they came, and slowly began to talk. King Wuyou took the opportunity to talk to the two.
People said: "Both generals are world-famous heroes, each has his own master, and some friction is normal. If we meet on the battlefield, we are enemies, and we will definitely fight for life and death! Now everyone belongs to our Qi army.
Guests, we are brothers when we sit together tonight, just drink freely!"
Ren Wei was still quick to speak and said: "What the prince said is that if you have wine today, you will be drunk today, but tomorrow's worries and sorrows will depend on you. Come, General Wang, I will give you a bowl. If you and I meet on the battlefield in the future, just let us fight."
"
Wang Bingwen was also a little drunk, and he laughed and said: "General Ren, don't worry, if I fight with you, I will kill you or defeat you, and I will never humiliate you!" After that, the two raised their glasses, clinked their glasses, and drank it all in one gulp.
.
King Wushu and Youdi looked at him and drank, and smiled at each other, raised the wine in the bowl, and drank it together.
The Huotou Army stewed the fish soup and brought it to the table. A guard got another big bowl for everyone and served it to each of them. King Wuyou took a sip and it tasted really delicious, so he called on the others to stop drinking and drink together.
A bowl of fish soup is delicious.
Afterwards, everyone ate, drank, talked, and had a good time. As the moon reached its zenith, it was almost midnight, and King Ashoka and the others were all drunk and hazy.
King Wuyou stood up, looked at the bright moon in the sky with some staggering, and said: "The moon is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I think of my parents and wife at home. If the world is peaceful, we will all be at home with our parents, wives and children at this moment. This
I am really tired of the war and strife!"
Everyone at the table fell silent after hearing King Wuyou's words. Yudi sighed softly and whispered: "My mother is also sixty years old.
Ren Wei didn't say anything, just picked up the wine in his hand, drank it in one gulp, and said in a unclear voice: "My son is almost one year old."
King Wuyou turned around and looked at the few people with deep eyes, and asked: "Generals, have you ever thought about how many people have been displaced by the strife in the world and how many conscripts have found it difficult to return home? It is time for the world to be unified.
We can also live a stable life like ordinary people."
Tao Rongtian nodded and murmured: "I don't want to live like this all day long. If the world is peaceful, I can go home and plant a few acres of fields and raise a few cattle and sheep."
Yudi and others were also lost in thought, either holding bowls or raising their heads, silent.
Lu Zheng kept watching King Wuyou and others from the side. Seeing that everyone was drunk after drinking all night, he stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, and it's time for you to rest. Everyone."
The generals have to go back to their respective military camps."
Everyone also stood up one after another. The generals sitting on one side were already drunk and fell asleep on the table. Some were still awake. Seeing that the generals were about to leave, they called out to their colleagues and stood up unsteadily.
Everyone found his own men and horses, and after leaving the camp gate, they all mounted their horses and returned to their own army.
King Wuyou waited for everyone to leave, then returned to the table and sat down. Lu Zheng came over and served. King Wuyou patted the stool next to him and motioned for him to sit down. Lu Zheng was a little confused, but he still sat down.
Xing Ye came over from one side, took a cloak from a guard, and put it on King Wushu. King Wushu smiled at him and pulled him to sit down.
When both of them were sitting next to him, King Wuyou reached out to hold their hands and asked: "You have been with me through life and death for so many years. In terms of age, you are my elder brother. I was just born in a prince's family.
.I want you to follow me and take good care of me."
Ye Xing laughed and asked, "What happened to the prince tonight? Why are you so sentimental?"
King Wuyou said "Oh", laughed, and asked himself: "Yes, what happened to me tonight?"
Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "The prince is married, so he must be thinking about the princess!"
Ye Xing also laughed and said repeatedly: "It must be, it must be."
King Wuyou stood up, raised his head, stretched out his arms towards the bright moon, and said softly: "My Ying'er is also missing me at home right now."
Lu Zheng and Ye Xing looked at each other, secretly smiling and saying nothing.
At this time in Lucheng, in Prince Ping's Mansion, Ying'er was also lying on the bed, looking at the moonlight shining in the window, a tear fell across her face. Ying'er did not wipe it away, but let the tears pass by.
"Brother Si, I miss you. You've been gone for so long, when will you come back?" Ying'er murmured to herself.
When the lady on the side heard this, she got up quietly, walked gently to Ying'er's bed, and asked softly: "Princess, haven't you gone to bed yet? The prince must be thinking of you right now."
Ying'er stood up and leaned against the bed. ** quickly pulled the quilt over her and covered her under her armpits. Then she turned around and took the heating stool and sat in front of Ying'er's bed. Ying'er stretched out her hand and took **'s hand.
, asked: "**, I want to go to Dadu to find Brother Si, please accompany me!"
** Patted Ying'er gently with the other hand, and then said: "Princess, please tell Princess Heping tomorrow and ask her to ask the old prince whether Prince Wuyou can come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If the prince can
Come back, then you can wait for him to come back with peace of mind. If he can't come back, let's see if we can ask the old prince to send someone to take us to Dadu."
After Ying'er heard this, she immediately became happy. She took her hands with her hands, sat up, and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go talk to my mother right now."
