Chapter 30: The Feast of Celebration
Luoyang's long-famous Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan came. This is also Ma Yue's old acquaintance in Luoyang, they have met more than once, but they have never really talked deeply.
At night, the county office was brightly lit.
One by one, the generals of the Liangzhou Army came to participate in the banquet of the state pastor in light armor or civilian clothes, which was also regarded as the celebration wine of the first battle of Weinan, so everyone's face was full of excitement, and it was guessed that this time the state pastor was going to make a contribution to everyone.
Xu You watched from afar under the eaves of an unknown mansion for a long time, and then he smoothed the clothes on his body, and took out the arrogance of a famous man in the world and strode towards the official office.
The Liangzhou generals with a smile on their faces and anger made Xu You slow down for no reason, especially when he signed up and stepped into the official office under the unkind eyes of the Liangzhou generals, and he was chilled.
Xu Youzi is also a bold person, but in the face of this group of Liangzhou jackals who eat people and don't spit out bones, he can only muster up the courage to do not squint and not change his face, and he can't stare back with the same sharp gaze.
He just wanted tonight to be over quickly. The group of people looked back and forth at themselves, and it was clear that it was not the feeling of communication between people, but the gaze of a group of wolves looking at the sheepfold.
Hurry up and finish the things he was supposed to do, and he will be able to return to Luoyang earlier...... Damn, Xu You couldn't help but curse in his heart. Since Ma Yue entered Huayin today, the originally calm city suddenly erected a conscription list, and the outside of the city also began to cut wood. He thought that Ma Yue wanted to defend against the Tongguan defenders and started another strong wall clearing, and after inquiring about sending out a lot of goods, he vaguely knew a result that sent chills down his spine.
This Liangzhou barbarian wants to build siege ordnance, threatens to smash open the gate of Tongguan, and will celebrate the New Year in Tongguan this winter.
This...... What a reckless general!
Tongguan is not like Weinan, it is a city, and there are not tens of thousands of people in Tongguan. Therefore, even if Yuan Shao attacked the city with a stone-throwing car, he had to carefully estimate the distance, most of the stones were smashed outside the city of Weinan, and only ten boulders fell on the city. It's Ma Yue's turn to smash Tongguan, I'm afraid that Tongguan will have to collapse.
Therefore, Xu You only has one year in his heart, that is, this battle cannot be fought again, and it must not be fought again.
It is not difficult for Zhang Yan alone, that person has no temple foundation, and the general can get countless heroes to respond with a single shout, and it is only a matter of time before he is driven back to Jizhou. A single Ma Yue is very terrifying, even if he only has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, it is not as good as Zhang Yan's eleventh. But this person has a complicated relationship between the DPRK and China, and he is still the teacher of the current emperor, and the temple has not yet decided whether Ma Yue is the king of Qin or a rebel this time...... At this juncture, Ruoma Yue drove troops to smash Tongguan, and the imperial court soldiers and horses faced Zhang Yan at the Revolving Gate Pass on the Eastern Front.
Dead!
Xu You felt that he had to argue with Ma Yue in front of a group of Liangzhou generals in the hall, and he must not let him attack Tongguan at this time.
When he entered the lobby, Xu You found that he was thinking too much.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu You looked forward from the back, he was afraid that Ma Yue would give him a dismount and leave the last seat, fortunately, no, there were two empty positions on the left and one on the right in the hall, although I don't know who it was, but one of the two was always his own.
The big man respected the right, Xu Yu retreated, and walked to the seat on the left. He was stopped by the waiter when he walked halfway through, and respectfully pointed to the position under the hall and said: "Mr. Xu, you are a distinguished guest, but today the hall is all under the command of the envoy, and the envoy intends to ask you to stay for a while, and after he and the generals have discussed with the generals, he will invite you to come forward." Until then, please deign to yourself. ”
As he spoke, the waiter brought him a futon and placed it behind the people.
Xu Youdu had already walked to the front, raised his head and took a deep breath, glanced at Ma Yue, who was talking and laughing in the hall and did not look at him, and forced a smile and sat in the distance.
'Ma Yue's guy is deliberate, and he put two empty futons there just to see himself make a fool of himself! ’
Xu You wants to see if there is anyone in those two positions!
After a while, when it was time for the feast, sure enough, there was still no one in those two seats. Xu You secretly stared at these generals in the hall, and everyone he knew came.
The handsome young man sitting at the top right is named Yang Feng, who was born as a ranger, and was the first to hold a sword by Ma Yue's side as a guard. The top left is an old man named Jia Xu, who heard that there was a feat of one person defecting to the crowd in Liangzhou.
On the right side are Yan Xing, the captain of the former Northern Army, Xu Huang and Gan Ning, the captains of Liangzhou, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others, and a young man named Wang Shuang, who performed brilliantly in the Battle of Weinan. On the left are Jiang Xu, Pei Xuan, Du Yi and others, most of whom are officials who are in the rear to rectify various places for them.
Sure enough, there are not many generals or resourceful scribes under Ma Yue's command who can fight well, and this person is deliberately hanging himself!
At this time, Ma Yue cleared his throat and said: "Gentlemen, this banquet is to celebrate the merits of all gentlemen, we Liangzhou men don't have to pay attention to so many rules, we have food and wine, let's eat and chat." ”
The waiter behind each person filled the wine bottles for everyone, and served several dishes one by one. Ma Yue got up and raised his head to the sky and toasted: "The first bottle, salute the heroic souls of Liangzhou who died in this battle, may they sleep in peace Zhangshan bless us to calm the world as soon as possible, please drink!" ”
"Calm the world!"
As Ma Gao shouted the words 'pacify the world', the clear liquor in the wine bottle poured to the ground, and the generals followed suit, drinking the wine in the bottle and pouring it into the ground in front of them.
The four characters of pacifying the world are not rebellious, they come from the "Li" in the self-cultivation of the Qi family to govern the country and level the world in the peaceful world, to make the world stable, is a positive word that reflects the spirit of the Han people to take the world as their own responsibility.
"The second bottle, pay tribute to the people who support us, this is the reason why Ma explicitly forbade the soldiers to rob the people's property, if there is no them, there will be no us. Please drink! Saying that, Ma Yue drank the liquor, and then said: "The third bottle, the spirit of Emperor Jing Xian in the sky, I will protect Your Majesty at an equal distance, and there is only one Tongguan left!" ”
"Break through Tongguan! Break through Tongguan! Break through Tongguan! ”
No one dared to drink this bottle except Ma Yue, and now it is not the late Han Dynasty in history, although there are countless states that are independent, but the awe of the emperor still remains in everyone's heart. The generals could only shout over and over again to break through Tongguan and cheer for Ma Yue.
"Okay, everyone, the empty position on the right is Yun Chang, and the others are fighting against Yuan's army in Weibei, but everyone should not forget that we can sit here and drink thanks to him, and you all have to respect him." Ma Yue said and said again to the empty position on the left: "On the left is Master Cheng, at this time, Master Cheng is still busy coordinating places for us in Chang'an City, and we must respect him." Okay, let's eat first, Wenhe will bring the book. ”
The generals of Liangzhou were like hungry wolves, and they didn't care about Ma Yue, who was still sitting above, and ate it in a big gulp. caused Xu Yu to sneer in his heart, look at this food, where is there a little bit of a general and a captain? What's more, their envoy is still on it, and he doesn't know a little etiquette!
However, Ma Yuehun didn't care, and gave a brother who already had the position of captain to show merit and reward Qian Tian, and all the military marquis were also captains, the only exception was Wang Shuang, who had made military exploits, had no reward except for money.
"Okay, that's it for the celebration, brothers eat and drink well!"
"General, general...... Why don't you give me an official position? Wang Shuang looked at Ma Yue cautiously, and asked for a long time: "I don't want money, food, and fields, just like being a school captain." ”
"Be a fart captain, you are so young, I will arrange it when I return to Liangzhou." Laughing and scolding, Ma Yue changed his words and said, "When I get down Tongguan, I will call you back!" Where is Yuan Shao's envoy? Bring it on! ”
As soon as Ma Yue finished speaking, Xu You got up and laughed loudly: "Ma Jun Haozhi is very talented, and he wants to capture Xiongguan Hangu with only 5,000 soldiers and horses, it's a joke, the general has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the east of Tongguan, and the army is coming at dawn, so why don't I surrender early?" ”
The waiter was moving the futon to the middle of the lobby, Ma Yue smiled when he heard this, pointed to the waiter and said, "Don't bother, remove the futon." ”
"What's the matter, Mr. Ziyuan came here to show off Yuan Gong's strength with me?" Ma Yue nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Yuan Gongwei plus Hainei, Bing Wei Hehe, I know." Did Mr. Ziyuan eat well? After eating, go back and forth, and tell Yuan Shao to get out of Tongguan as soon as possible, so as not to lose the souls. ”
"How can I come and advise you with good intentions...... What good will it do to Liangzhou if such a war continues? It will only make more sergeants die, is Ma Junhao just such a reckless soldier? ”
Xu You is still working hard, even if he can't say that he can move Ma Yue, he will disgust these Liangzhou generals.
"Mr. Ziyuan, if that's what you said, go back quickly, so as not to wait for me to be unhappy and give your ears and nose to Yuan Shao." Ma Yue smiled and waved his hand, slowly took a knife to cut off a piece of meat on the leg of mutton, swallowed it in his mouth, and chewed it while laughing: "You know, many people say that the more bloodthirsty my horse is, the more he is a bloodthirsty butcher, and he will itch if he doesn't kill people for a day." ”
Ma Yue's attitude of confusion made Xu Yu desperate, and his eyes widened and he couldn't speak. Ma Yue put down the leg of mutton and said, "Explain your real intention, don't talk about those vanities." You must know that Liu Dai of the Yanzhou Assassin History Sect let me behead me. So I'm not afraid of any kind of infamy for killing messengers or something. ”
Xu You looked at Ma Yue fixedly, knowing that this person really had murderous intentions towards him, and hurriedly said: "Ma Envoy Jun, Xu Youdai General Yuan Shao came to negotiate peace, hoping that the two sides would stop the army. ”
Ma Yue snorted and laughed, he really didn't expect to be scared, and the invincible Xu Yu was suddenly honest. Pretending to be silent for a moment, Ma Yue finally bit the mutton and licked his lips and said: "In this way, the requirements are not high, let the original brother give up the position of the general, the Yuan family will withdraw from Luoyang, and then let the Tongguan guards withdraw, I will not go out of Tongguan, and agree to negotiate peace with the original brother." ”
"How can this work, how can the general say let it go!"
"The general's duty is to command the world's soldiers and horses, he Yuan Benchu couldn't even control my little Ma Yue, the Montenegrin army was forced to rebel, what else can you talk about commanding the world's soldiers and horses?" Ma Yue said impatiently: "Do you still eat?" If you don't eat, let's go, and leave overnight...... Go back and tell Yuan Shao that as I say, I will raise a respected general to the imperial court as a general, and at the same time I will release Yuan Shu, and promote Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Runan, so that he will not be shameless to face the ancestors and ancestors. If you don't agree, you'll see the truth! ”
