Chapter 15: The Banquet at the Hongmen II

Under the attention of everyone, Lu Bu stepped into the pavilion. He had a tall figure, a long crown on his head, and a simple long sword hanging from his waist. He was walking like a dragon and a tiger, full of momentum.

Gao Jin sighed in his heart, Lu Bu's momentum was indeed extraordinary. If he were to fight against an opponent like Lu Bu, his momentum alone would be dimmed by three points.

Lu Bu unceremoniously sat on the seat reserved for him at the top. He looked around with tiger eyes, but his sharp-edged face showed bad intentions. His thick eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were sharp and full of majesty.

Hou Cheng hurriedly avoided the table and said: "I entrusted the general's tiger power to chase the lost horse. All the generals came to congratulate me. I brewed some wine, but I don't dare to drink it, so I would like to offer you a small favor first."

Lu Bu's brows were even more furrowed, and his dagger-like eyes stared at Hou Cheng with an angry look on his face.

All the generals were in panic for a moment, knowing Lu Bu's temperament and character, and they were quite afraid that they were in danger.

Hou Cheng lowered his head and kept his hands in a saluting posture, and his back was soaked with cold sweat. He was originally worried about Lu Bu's punishment for brewing wine this time, but later he thought that he had recovered more than a hundred strong horses, and Lu Bu was also good.

As a drunkard, Lu Bu would probably just laugh it off at most, but seeing Lu Bu's face at this moment, he screamed that something was wrong, knowing that he had misjudged Lu Bu's thoughts.

Gao Jin looked at Lu Bu. Suddenly, cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He seemed to remember something. When Gao Shun told him about Hou Cheng's guests at Hou Cheng's banquet earlier, he felt that something was wrong. But now that he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

It reminds me of a piece of history.

Hou Cheng held a banquet for guests and violated Lv Bu's prohibition on drinking. Lv Bu was furious and ordered people to slap Hou Cheng on the back. Hou Cheng was angry and discussed with Song Xian, Wei Xu and others.

In the courtyard, he stole the red rabbit horse and rushed to the east gate. Wei Xu opened the door and let him out, but pretended to chase him. Hou Cheng went to Cao Cao's stronghold, offered the horse, and prepared a message to Song Xian. Wei Xu planted a white flag as a signal and prepared to dedicate the gate.

After Cao Cao heard this, he sent troops to attack the city. Lü Bu went up to the city gates with his halberd and looked at each gate. He rested on the gate tower for a while and fell asleep on his chair. Song Xian drove back and stole his painted halberd first, and then he and Wei Xu started to attack together.

, tied Lu Bu with a rope, tied it tightly, and presented it to Cao Cao. After that, Xiapi fell and Lu Bu was defeated.

(Note: The history of this book is based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The abilities of the characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms may be slightly adjusted, but not much. Please do not treat it as official history. The author has no ability. To be honest, I have never even read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Well, therefore, the history that the protagonist thinks of is the content in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that’s all.)

In the flash of lightning, Gao Jin suddenly thought of this scene. It was Hou Cheng who had stolen his horse, he was also a guest at the banquet, and Lu Bu's anger was about to explode. Gao Jin could not have imagined that this joyful banquet would actually be the fuse of a historical process.

, looked at Hou Cheng again, only to see that his forehead was soaked with cold sweat.

What should I do? Time seemed to have stopped, and Gao Jin's mind went blank. Even Gao Shun next to him could see Gao Jin's strange look. He gently pulled down Gao Jin's sleeves and whispered:

"Bo Luan..."

Gao Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, reflecting some vigor. He left the table and stood up. Under everyone's puzzled gazes, he shouted loudly: "Bold Hou Cheng, my lord has banned alcohol, but you will make wine."

Drink, what does this mean?"

Gao Jin took a step forward and his words became even more fierce: "Thanks to my lord for not giving up, I have entrusted you with the responsibility of governing the army. I will live up to the great trust and strictly manage the army, clean up lawlessness, and punish evildoers." General Hou publicly invited people to meet in public.

Drinking is a blatant provocation. Do you know the crime?"

Hou Cheng did not answer. What he was really afraid of was Lu Bu. He would not pay attention to Gao Jin. However, Gao Jin suddenly "attacked" at this moment, which caught him off guard. In front of Lu Bu, he did not dare to argue, so he had to swallow his anger.

Gao Jin glanced sideways at Hou Cheng and said calmly: "Since you have blatantly violated the prohibition, you should be severely punished according to the law. However, General Hou followed his lord on the battlefield in the past. He had no credit but also hard work. Let's write down what happened today. If he does it again, he will be punished.

You will not be spared lightly."

Gao Jin glanced at Lu Bu from the corner of his eye, and saw that Lu Bu's anger could not help but calm down, and then he let out a sigh of relief. He took advantage of Lu Bu's hatred of Hou Cheng, and stood up at the right time to count out Hou Cheng's guilt.

The board was raised high, but then gently put down, giving Lu Bu such a bad breath. Even if Lu Bu still wanted to get angry, he couldn't find a reason. It was hard to directly overturn Gao Jin's conclusion. After all, Gao Jin had just taken office, and he had another

It was Lu Bu who invited him. If he said that Gao Jin handled it improperly, wouldn't it be a roundabout way of saying that Lu Bu didn't know people well?

In addition, Gao Jin had just rescued Lu Wanjun, so Lu Bu would still show some dignity to him.

As long as Lu Bu had not punished Hou Cheng, this potential crisis would have disappeared unconsciously. If Hou Cheng was smart, he would naturally be grateful to Gao Jin for giving him a step. If he was not smart, he would just resent Gao Jin at most.

Gao Jin admitted that he was not afraid of offending others. This time he reprimanded Hou Cheng in public, which just gave him prestige in running the military. He was determined to use his power to improve military discipline, and it was inevitable to offend some people.

Lu Bu's expression finally softened, and Gao Jin took the opportunity to say: "My lord, according to the ban, the generals should not drink alcohol, but the national law is not based on human kindness. Today, Cao's army attacked the city, thanks to the efforts of the generals. Why not celebrate today?"

How about borrowing General Hou’s wine to celebrate the generals’ success?”

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, and the glutton in his stomach couldn't help but arouse. He came here with anger today. He originally wanted to punish Hou Cheng, but at this moment the anger suddenly disappeared. He remembered that the Bingzhou Army was fighting fiercely at the North Gate today.

The defensive line in his heart relaxed a little, and he lowered his head and said: "In this case, let's follow Gao Changshi, and we won't do it next time."

Everyone in the pavilion began to smile. Hou Cheng, who originally secretly hated Gao Jin, suddenly understood Gao Jin's intentions and couldn't help but look at him gratefully. He hurriedly said to the waiter: "Hurry and pour some wine for the generals." Then he took another photo.

The palm leader said: "Invite the dancer to come up and add to the fun."

For a while, the music started playing slowly, and the boys came over with wine utensils and wine cups to add wine to each table. The generals were overjoyed and took a swig from their cups. Then they all saluted Lu Bu. Lu Bu took the top position.

His anger turned into joy, and he drank three glasses of rice wine in a row, and then said to Hou Cheng: "Is the dancing girl coming yet? It is said that you invited Fang Ludie to come here to add to the fun, why is it so late to see her?"

Hou Cheng smiled and said: "I will definitely not disappoint my lord, please wait a moment."

Just at this time, the music gradually became louder, and there was a sonorous sound, just like being in a battle formation, Wan Tong war drums were beating in unison, leather armor was rubbing, swords were unsheathed, and horns were blaring in the midst of thousands of fighting sounds, and everyone's spirits were shaken.

, at this time, from outside the attic, four women in short breeches came in, each carrying a sword. Their brows revealed a graceful and refined heroic spirit. The four women stood in the middle of the hall, then raised their swords and danced, their waists

Her limbs are soft, and the long sword in her hand slowly sways with her graceful body, and her postures are constantly changing following the beat of the music, which is eye-opening.

Gao Jin saw that the dance was beautiful and unique, so he couldn't help but shout "Hello" and said to Gao Shun: "Which one is Fang Ludie?"

Gao Shun didn't drink. He was sitting like an old monk in trance, not looking at the dancing. When he saw Gao Jin coming to ask, he turned his head and said, "Miss Green Butterfly hasn't come yet, I'm afraid she won't appear until the last time."

Gao Jin nodded, secretly looking forward to seeing the first dancer appear.
