Cao Zhi didn't care, and had a banquet in the big tent of the leather room that night. When the wine was full, the generals and officials came up one by one to toast Xu Zhu. Cao Zhi and his generals spent a long time eating together, and they knew that Cao Zhi
He has always been restrained and never overeated, so he learned to respect Cao Zhi and set his sights on Xu Zhu. Cao Zhi also drank too much, so he deliberately made the rules.
Xu Zhu, a big stomach king, refused to refuse anyone who came. He drank until the glass was dry. After drinking more than thirty bowls, he still looked calm, and everyone was shocked. Cao Zhi always prided himself on his courage, but he had to deal with it when drinking.
Xu Zhugan bows down.
Xu Zhu was so happy today. What Cao Zhi asked him to do today was very in line with his bandit character, and this time he robbed the inner and outer treasury of the prefect's house. It was so fun! Thinking back to the time when he occupied the mountain and became the king, it was the most glorious moment.
That is to say, he robbed the county government once, and he was still in the backwoods. Not only was he extremely poor, even the rice grains he stored were moldy. This time he was so proud that he robbed the dignified Danyang Prefecture, gold and silver.
It's like a mountain! That's so fun! Oh! No, my eldest brother has taken care of me. We don't call this robbery, we call it "confiscation".
Xu Zhu was thinking wildly and drinking carelessly. At this moment, as soon as he showed how much he drank, he overwhelmed the others. Everyone admired him and showed off his skills, and he was even more happy.
Cao Zhi was overjoyed when he saw Xu Zhu's naivety. He chuckled and said, "Brother, you are not only good at drinking, but you will also become the first hero under my command in the future!"
As soon as Cao Zhi finished speaking, someone outside the tent suddenly interrupted: "No, he is second!"
Everyone looked outside the tent in confusion, only to see Mi Heng walking in, shaking his head.
When Cao Zhi saw it was Mi Heng, he smiled and said: "Hey! Our Lord Mi is here. Come and tell me, why is Xu Zhu the second? So who is the first hero?"
Mi Heng walked to the table on the left side of Cao Zhi, and someone gave up his seat. Mi Heng took a sip from an unknown wine bowl, and said unhurriedly: "The first hero is naturally you, Ming Gong.
La! Although Xu Zhu is very capable, he must obey Ming Gong and dare not disobey him. Aren't you number one?"
As soon as Mi Heng finished speaking, everyone said yes as if they had woken up. Originally, all the generals in the tent were straight-forward, and there was no one who could match up to Mi Heng. Mi Heng thought he was the smartest person in the world. This kind of flattery
This technique is just a small test.
Although Cao Zhi knew that Mi Heng was flattering, he still laughed loudly and said: "Well said, well said. Come, come and drink this bowl together." Following Cao Zhi's words, everyone picked up their hands with great joy.
Drink the wine in your hand from the wine bowl.
At this time, Xu Zhu had drunk 80 to 90% of the wine, and he didn't know where he had made the mistake. After finishing the bowl, he suddenly said "ah" and imitated Mi Heng, shaking his head and getting up, mumbling with his tongue.
Said: "Yes, my eldest brother... will not only be the number one hero in the world in the future, but also... be the number one overlord in the world, haha! When the time comes, eldest brother, you can make me a
...What...what official?" After Xu Zhu finished speaking, he was quite proud and put his black face in front of Cao Zhi. He was almost leaning on Cao Zhi's cases. He was really waiting.
Cao Zhi replied to him.
What he said was astonishing. Everyone knows that Xu Zhu has a rough temper and has always roamed around. "But you are a big boss, you can't speak, and you can't talk nonsense! The military commanders here are all military attaches affiliated with Yangzhou Xiying, not Cao Zhi's generals.
Aren't you going to cause trouble for me if you speak so openly?" Cao Zhi cursed in his heart. Cao Zhi really wanted to kick Xu Zhu to death. Mi Heng was also shocked and quickly lowered his head to think about countermeasures.
Cao Zhi looked at the dumbfounded military generals in the hall, flicked his fingers on his forehead a few times, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll make you a wine barrel officer who only needs to drink and doesn't have to do anything."
As soon as Cao Zhi finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter. Many people in the crowd couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and they all regarded Xu Zhu's words as drunken nonsense.
The crowd's laughter hadn't stopped when suddenly they heard a sharp and rapid sound of horns coming from a distance.
All the officers were sitting on the ground, drinking wine and eating meat. When they heard the sound of the trumpet, they stood up at the same time, with a look of surprise on their faces.
The sound of the horn came so fast. When it was first heard, it was still more than ten miles away. The second time it sounded, it was several miles closer. The third time it sounded several miles closer. Cao Zhi thought to himself: "Today, this person is delivering urgent military news."
What's going on at the messaging station? If there's something important, as soon as you hear the sound of the horn, you'll be sent to the next station." The sound of the horn was heard flying in, and as soon as it reached outside the big tent of the hide room,
It stopped suddenly. The officers and soldiers in the hundreds of camps were originally sitting around the fire to eat. At this time, everyone was suddenly silent, holding their heads and looking at the messenger troops speeding in the distance.
Cao Zhi looked calm, slowly raised the wine bottle, drank the wine, and waited for the ordering soldiers to rush into the tent and said: "Report to the captain, don't drive Deng Aishui from Yangzhou and 500 military guards are coming here."
"Oh!" Cao Zhi glanced at Mi Heng on the lower left and said to himself: "It came so fast."
The good news was sent out early in the morning, and it should not have arrived in Liyang, but Deng Ai has already arrived, which shows that Deng Ai is well-informed.
"Come on, let's go meet this Deng Biejia." Cao Zhi put down the wine bottle and stood up and said.
After a while, hearing the sound of horse hooves stationed in the camp outside Danyang City, the vanguard cavalry soldiers galloped out first, followed by the left and right vanguards, and a group of 100 cavalry headed south.
But in the dark night, each military flag was lit with lanterns, red and yellow, and hundreds of cavalry were marching southward. They heard the neighing of horses and hoofs, but not a single human voice.
At this time, even Deng Ai, who was stationed in the distance, couldn't help but admire him, and thought to himself: "This Cao Zhi has indeed commanded the army well. No wonder Danyang fell so quickly. Alas! If you manage the army like this, Yangzhou will still be in trouble in the future."
Who can defeat him?"
This Cao Zhi really troubled Deng Ai, because he captured Danyang so quickly. He and Chen Wen were discussing what reward to give Cao Zhi after he captured Danyang. Since Zao Zhuan and others' opinions cannot express Cao Zhi's
The Sili captain should be represented as the governor of Danyang. Deng Ai firmly objected. Now that Cao Zhi has won the hearts of the Yangzhou army, if he is given another county, it will be enough in a few years.
While the two sides were in a stalemate, the scouts dispatched outside Danyang reported that Captain Cao had captured Danyang. These scouts delivered the information so fast that they actually arrived before the fast cavalry sent by Cao Zhi. As soon as the news was confirmed, Liyang trembled.
The camp supporting Cao Zhi rejoiced, while the camp opposing Cao Zhi was in a panic. Deng Ai even asked for help personally without saying a word. He had no other purpose than to keep an eye on Cao Zhi and prevent him from taking over the mountain and becoming the king.
, captured Danyang.
"Haha... Deng Biejia came so fast!" Cao Zhi said meaningfully after seeing Deng Ai's hearty smile.
"Where, where, how could Captain Cao capture Danyang so quickly? The soldiers are very fast. They easily captured Danyang just a few days after leaving Liyang. Captain Cao is such a great man!" Deng Ai responded, not to be outdone.
.
"Ah! Deng Biejia still doesn't know that Danyang was not conquered by Cao, but by Mr. Xu who understood the righteousness and sacrificed the city voluntarily," Cao Zhi said with dissatisfaction.
"It's because of your reputation as Captain Cao that you have such a feat of self-defeat. Captain Cao, Deng is here to congratulate you. Governor Chen will definitely reward you well." Deng Ai said in a straight tone.
Said.
