"I think back then we shared the worries together, and when we had the worries we shared the same worries." [Save Fengchen·Vinegar Gourd]
Outside Chang'an City, the Chinese army's tent is located.
"Come! Brother Zhang, don't just drink so much, drink another bowl!"
Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiuji was sitting on the ground, holding a bowl of wine in his hand. He neither drank nor put it down. He blushed and shouted to Li Li, "You are all from the same family. Didn't you work together to drink me?"
"
"Brother Zhang, we all agreed in advance that we would drink one bowl each, and we drink no less than you. How come we are deliberately feeding you?" Li Xian, another nephew of Li Jue, said.
Li Jue's nephew Hu Fengzai also shouted: "Is it because you are too drunk and can't drink anymore, so you are deliberately using us as an excuse?"
"Nonsense!" Zhang Xiu put the wine bowl on the table and half a bowl of wine spilled out. He glared at everyone and said, "It's just a small amount of wine. How come I can't drink it? I'm obviously just looking at us just drinking. It's not interesting at all."
No, that’s why I’m not in the mood to drink.”
Guo Pu, Guo Bang's younger brother, was also alone, not as powerful as the Li family members. He looked drunk and was about to fall. He was dissatisfied and deliberately yelled for Zhang Xiu: "That's it!
I think it would be better to send someone to catch some girls from nearby villages and let them pour us wine to entertain us, wouldn’t it be nice?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately became lustful and excited.
Zhang Xiu kept in mind his uncle Zhang Ji's instructions before leaving, and said hurriedly: "No, no! Don't forget, we have surrendered to the imperial court, so we must abide by the imperial laws. We have spoken in front of Cai Gong and others that day, and we must not disturb the people.
.Even if you brothers are itchy, you should think more about your elders in Chang'an City and avoid causing trouble."
Li Li sneered and said: "What's the matter? If the court punishes me, it will just happen again. Let's see if the little emperor has the courage to punish us?"
"Although this is the truth, we should not have too much fun. After all, we were ordered to guard the camp. When the generals came back later, they saw that we were indulging in wine and sex. I'm afraid I had to reprimand me." Hu Feng was the rare sober person among the people.
One of them, as soon as he spoke, the others lost all interest.
The imperial court may not take it seriously, but the majesty of their elders still makes them fearful.
"Otherwise, how about I ask people to come into the tent and dance with swords to add to the fun?"
As soon as Zhang Xiu made this suggestion, everyone applauded, so Zhang Xiu clapped his hands and shouted outside: "Che'er!"
I saw a tall foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes coming in. He looked around at everyone with his eyes, and finally laid his eyes on Zhang Xiu.
The barbarian Che'er nodded to Zhang Xiu, and after clasping his fists in greeting, he immediately drew his sword and danced wantonly in the tent. The light of the sword was like snow, cold and powerful, but also like a stream of autumn water.
Everyone did not expect that Zhang Xiu's barbarian was good at sword dancing. They were all fascinated for a while and kept drinking and applauding.
At this time, Song Guo, a military officer under Li Jue, ran in and said, "General, they are back!"
Li Li and others woke up at this moment. They were all drunk. At this moment, they heard someone coming back from the city. They supported each other and wanted to get up and go out of the tent to greet them.
Song Guo stood still and said hesitantly: "It's just that the only people who came out of the city were General Fan, General Dong and General Zhang. I have never seen Generals Li, Guo and other generals."
Hearing this, how could Zhang Xiu not know what was happening in the city? He was ecstatic, but pretended to be confused. He stood up and walked quickly to Song Guo and asked, "Why is this? Why didn't General Li and the others follow him out of the city?"
Li Li rubbed his swollen forehead and stood up with Hu Feng's help. Among the Li clan members here, he was the oldest and had the highest military rank. Everyone regarded him as the leader and listened to him first: "
Something must have happened in the city, otherwise why didn't my uncle come out with him? Here comes Yang Feng!"
He called for a long time, and Li Jue's captain Yang Feng opened his tent and walked in, followed closely by Jia Xu who looked calm and calm.
Jia Xu was the most respected wise man in the army. Everyone was a junior and they did not dare to stand up in front of Jia Xu. Whether it was Guo Pu who was drunk and half lying on the ground leaning on a pillar, or Li Li who was able to stand up after being helped by others,
They all saluted with great respect and said: "Junior, I have seen Mr. Jia!"
After seeing the ceremony, Li Li immediately asked: "Does Mr. Jia know what happened in the city? Why did General Fan and General Dong return to camp safely, but my uncle and General Guo never left the city?"
"Everyone, please relax." Jia Xu's tone was as calm and indifferent as before, making everyone calm down; "Taiwei Ma Gong insisted on hosting a banquet for Generals Li and Guo on behalf of the emperor. The court's favor cannot be denied. Although General Li
I agree, but I am worried that there will be no one in the army to watch over me, so I will first ask General Fan and others to come back and let you know."
Li Li thought about it and realized that this was in line with his uncle's shrewd and calculating style. With Fan Chou and others leading the army outside, even if Ma Rixi was hosting a Hongmen Banquet, he would have to worry about the army outside the city.
Everyone had always believed in Jia Xu, and now they were drunk. How could they think of whether there was something fishy about it?
Seeing that nothing happened and their elders would not be back for a while, everyone started drinking happily again.
Jia Xu said some kind words to everyone, then left Zhang Xiu and everyone to continue drinking in the tent, and excused himself to leave. Li Li and others also knew that Jia Xu did not like drinking, so they did not care, and just continued to cheer and dance.
The sword adds to the fun.
Over here, Fan Chou, Dong Cheng, and Zhang Ji have secretly gathered in Jia Xu's tent with Li Jue's head, and are preparing for the last conspiracy.
"Li Li, Guo Pu and others are drunk and unconscious. Now the only ones who can lead the troops of Li Jue, Guo Si and others are Song Ye, Yang Ang, Yang Feng and Wu Xi."
Jia Xu analyzed calmly: "Among these four, Yang Feng was born in Baibo Huangjin, and he has only surrendered to Li Jue for a short period of time. Except for his own troops and horses, it is absolutely difficult to mobilize Li Jue's troops and horses when something happens, so there is nothing to worry about.
Song Ye and Yang Ang are greedy for wealth, so they should be lured with benefits."
"Although Wu Xi is Guo Si's favorite general, he is brave but has no intelligence. He can be coaxed to death with military orders." After Jia Xu finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd lightly and said, "Wait a minute.
After Yang Feng and Wu Xi were restrained, the generals led their troops to surround Li Jue, Guo Si and others. Zhang Xiu and Che'erhui announced the death of Li Jue and others in the tent, and took the opportunity to kill Li Li and others.
, and then forced the sergeant to surrender."
Dong Cheng intervened and said: "Li Jue, Guo Si, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding have more than 60,000 troops under their command. We can only have 40,000 troops together. Although the difference is huge in comparison, their general is dead.
With no one in charge and no fighting spirit, they are no match for us! All you need to do is surround them temporarily. When Huangfu Song in the city sees the movement, he will lead 40,000 troops to come to support. By then, with the many against the few, great things can be accomplished.
