Not only Sun Xiu and Zhao San, but that night, many captain-level figures of the 100-person team and the 1,000-person team received invitations from Daoyin.

The so-called invitation is nothing more than a blank piece of paper with an address written on it, followed by polite words such as a greeting to come.

Some of the captains who received the invitation immediately decided to go, some hesitated, and two of them turned the note into a roll and threw it on the ground without thinking about it. The relationship between these two people and Dao Yin is not good, or rather, they are very unaccustomed to Dao Yin's direct boss Liang Bo, even if they are suppressed by Liang Bo in their positions, they can still be pretended to be against Liang Bo when they are in the barracks, but when they leave the barracks, they don't want to have anything to do with Liang Bo at all.

On the second day, Sun Xiu took the humble invitation card and came to the address where the book was written. He noticed last night that the address written on the paper was Willow Hutong, which was not where Dao Yin's mansion was located, nor was it the Shou General's Mansion where Liang Bo lived, on the contrary, the captain who knew something about Dao Yin immediately saw that this was the house that belonged to Dao Yin's nephew Dao Chen.

Some of the team leaders who are good friends with Dao Yin have been here a few times in the past, and they also know that this house is used by Dao Chen for something. It's just that a few days ago, Dao Chen's body was sent to a miserable death, and this matter is no longer a secret.

Dao Chen's funeral was held in a good manner, and almost no one in the entire border city knew that Dao Chen had lost his life, and he didn't know how many people who were being oppressed by Liang Bo heard that Liang Bo's confidant's nephew had been slaughtered, and was burning incense at home to worship Buddha and thank the gods for eliminating harm for the people.

But Sun Xiu couldn't help frowning. The sword feasted on them, whatever it was. It was completely possible to meet in his own mansion, but why did he choose Daochen's private residence? And Daochen was dismantled. Now when he goes to such a place again, he can't help but feel unlucky.

Isn't it. This time Dao Yin gathered them together, and it was related to Dao Chen?

In other words, what else does Dao Yin have planned?

Hongmen Banquet?

The murderous intent in Sun Xiu's expression flashed away.

But he also felt that without Liang Bo's permission, Dao Yin would not dare to put on any Hongmen banquet in private. And in Beiyan's current situation, it would be unwise for Liang Bo to want to do something to them.

"Sleeves, what are you doing standing here? Come here, go in and see what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd! Behind him, Zhao San took off a heavy armor. Changed into civilian clothes and waved his hand indifferently. He couldn't say it last night, but for some reason, after thinking about it all night, he finally appeared here.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to come?" Sun Xiu's whole person also let go a lot, and said with a smile.

"I know you're going to come and see if something happens to you, so I'll be a cheap thug for you. If you get out of this house safely, don't forget to invite me to drink. The finest wines. Zhao San patted Sun Xiu's shoulder, and his smile was full of contagion, making the uneasiness in Sun Xiu's heart gradually subside.

"Drink enough, please!" Sun Xiu also patted Zhao San on the shoulder, and the brotherly love was overflowing.

The two walked into Daochen's house together. There's already someone waiting inside. When the two entered the house, they saw that there were already four other people sitting in the hall, and the table was full of seasonal melons and fruits. In a dry land like Beiyan, I haven't eaten such a watery fruit for a long time.

The four of them were a little surprised by the arrival of the two. Sun Xiu just left. Use your brain, but that's what it is. I also think a lot, and it's easy to think about things in a complicated way. But Zhao San was stunned. In addition to fighting and killing the enemy, such a person is actually the easiest to offend people, so except for a few captains who are loyal to General Zhou and General Huai, few others can communicate with him.

However, although it seemed a little confusing for Daoyin to invite them here for some reason, they all wanted to know who the person who wanted to see them was.

Some people speculate that it is General Liang Boliang, after all, now General Fang Da pretended to be seriously injured and fled, and the two generals, Zhou An and Huainan, went out to secretly carry out military affairs. General Sun Yun was greedy for merit and died on the battlefield, and today's Beiyan is General Liang's Yiyantang.

Here, the subordinates of the four lieutenant generals, except for General Liang Bo's own people, the captains of the other three generals all had one or two people coming, so some people speculated that General Liang might be trying to win them over in private. After all, if General Fang's military exploits were sufficient, he might continue to be transferred to the capital in the future and obey the emperor's command, and these tasks of guarding the border passes might be handed over to one of the four lieutenant generals.

General Sun has already died in battle, so leave it alone for the time being. General Zhou and General Huai are both General Fang's henchmen, such henchmen are still slightly different from General Liang, if it is General Fang's mind, I am afraid that the next general will have to choose one among General Zhou and General Huai, so that General Liang's position is not embarrassing.

However, if you can get the support of the captains of many hundred-person teams and thousand-person teams, even if it is General Fang, I am afraid that you will have to take into account public opinion. As for the emperor, as long as General Fang did not do something wrong and was brought to justice, usually the replacement of the position of the frontier guard general will be recommended by the original general.

They suspected that General Liang was going to take advantage of the absence of the two generals, Zhou and Huai, to secretly exert his own force. If you can get the promise of the captains, even if the two generals Zhou and Huai come back in the future, I am afraid that they will not be able to return to the sky.

But Sun Xiu and Zhao San don't just think so. They admitted in their hearts that they also thought that Liang Bo was probably trying to secretly win over a group of people, so they arranged for everyone to get together this time with the help of Dao Yin. But they wouldn't be naïve enough to think that it would be a completely voluntary choice for the Blade Cause to invite them here.

Zhao San snorted coldly, his eyes couldn't help but look out a few times, and said with disdain: "It's really a Hongmen banquet." ”

"Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. We should have thought before we came that there would be such a show. Sun Xiu also looked disdainful, and said in his heart that when they didn't prepare anything, they came to the banquet?

After the two sat down, more than a dozen people came intermittently, and it wasn't until most of the hour that the people arrived. At this time, it is the turn of the host's family to appear.

Dao Yin has been secretly observing everyone's expressions and movements, and he has seen that people have come. The rest of the people should not arrive, so he tidied up his clothes. Walked out of the side room.

As soon as the knife appeared, the scene suddenly fell silent. Each captain silently stared at the sword cause, wondering which one he had come to today.

"Thank you to all the captains for your willingness to appreciate your face and come to the mansion for a small gathering. Now that the captains are here, Dao wants to be entertained. Dao has already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and the captains will wait. "The knife is full of smiles, and there is a world of difference from the knife that everyone sees in the barracks on weekdays. But the more he did this, the stronger the bad premonition in everyone's hearts became.

If they dare to come, they are naturally prepared. But after all, the sword has no eyes, and Liang Bo is now in Beiyan to cover the sky with one hand. It's inevitable that you'll be worried.

"Captain Knife, if you have something, you will speak bluntly, why beat around the bush? A certain family is not here today to rub your captain sword to eat, even if you are enthusiastic, you should put the ugly words in front, otherwise this meal, a certain family will not be able to eat steadily. ”

Zhao San has always been straightforward, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush when he speaks. He can say whatever he wants, and people he doesn't like will never give the other party a tactful remark.

Zhao San didn't like Dao Yin. was even a little annoying, so he just opened his mouth and choked, without saving face for Dao Yin in front of everyone at all.

Dao Yin was a little unhappy in his heart, and he frowned unconsciously. But think of where he is now. The brow was furrowed again.

He pretended not to care about what Zhao San said, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that looked quite soft, and said, "Captain Zhao is really straightforward. Dao also likes Captain Zhao's unconcealed temperament. That being the case, the knife is just as Captain Zhao said. Tell the ugly story ahead. ”

Dao Yin's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and then he smiled: "Dao summoned everyone to come today. There is one thing to ask for. ”

"Lord Dao doesn't have to be polite, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." One of the 100 captains who had a good relationship with the knife said.

This person's name is Su Liu, and he was originally the leader of a hundred people under Sun Yun's team. This person married a local gentleman in Beiyan and married the youngest daughter of the wealthy gentleman's family, so in Beiyan, he can be regarded as half a figure with a face. After Sun Yun's death, his team was all under the management of Liang Bo, and now he is thinking about how to show loyalty to General Liang, and Dao Yin is General Liang's henchman, so he naturally wants to help Dao Yin speak, and it is also to leave a good impression in Dao Yin's heart.

"Everyone must know that Dao is loyal to General Liang. General Liang is a man of great talent and strategy, and he will not be a thing in the pool in the future, and if the captains are willing to be loyal, General Liang will definitely be happy. As soon as the knife opened its mouth, it made the bottom of the pan fry. Everyone said that even if you don't beat around the bush, you don't have to go so straight, right? As soon as they opened their mouths, they already revealed the intention of wooing, so how should they answer when the time comes?

If you say yes, that's impossible. But if not, the other party is so direct, how can there be no means?

At this time, everyone looked at Zhao San with a kind of resentment in their eyes.

Zhao San was a little embarrassed by everyone, and even he didn't expect Dao Yin to express his meaning so directly. Looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be worried about everyone's refusal at all, and combined with the ambush in the courtyard, Zhao San's face suddenly darkened.

Sun Xiu kept frowning, his thin fingertips tapping lightly on the tabletop, but he didn't make much noise, and he was the only one who could hear the rhythm of 'dong dong' clearly.

Something was wrong with Daoyin's reaction.

This was the first question that came to Sun Xiu's mind.

Everyone knows that the sword is loyal to Liang Bo. I am afraid that everyone knows that although the generals maintain harmony on the surface, they may not really be able to coexist peacefully in private.

General Zhou and General Huai followed General Fang from the beginning, and the two were the most reused by General Fang, and General Zhou may still be above General Huai. But General Huai doesn't seem to have any ambitions for this, as long as he follows General Fang, he doesn't care about some false fame, so he has never had the idea of fighting for anything, but has the idea of supporting General Zhou.

And General Sun Yunsun is the person who is Prime Minister Mei Cangyun Mei, and he is not very hopeful from the beginning. Even if Mei Cheng is kind to General Fang, even if General Fang is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, but he has acquiesced to Prime Minister Mei Cheng to install people in the Zhenyuan army, this is an exception, if it is said that the entire Zhenyuan army is handed over to Prime Minister Mei Cheng, it is impossible.

What's more, the emperor will not allow such a thing to happen. As the prime minister, Prime Minister Mei Cheng is already the head of the civil officials, and the military generals have always been unable to compete with those civil officials in the court, if he is called to get military power again, how can the emperor rest assured that there is such a person by his side?

In this way, the only one who competes with General Zhou is probably General Liang Boliang. He was promoted later by General Fang, so when it comes to trust, he is far inferior to General Zhou. But General Liang still has the ability, so he is also very reused by General Fang.

In this way, it seems that General Liang wants to give it a go. In this kind of good time when General Fang is not there and General Zhou is going out on a mission again, whether it is coercion or inducement or persuasion, this is a good time.

"Impossible!" The first to refute was naturally Zhao San. He said bluntly: "A certain family is a soldier under General Huai, then only one person is loyal to General Huai, General Liang's kindness, a certain family's heart, as for the matter of loyalty, a certain family will look at it, so forget it." ”

"Captain Zhao is really fast-talking, and he doesn't delay when he talks straight to the point. Although Dao said that he liked Captain Zhao's straightforward temperament, he never liked that others rejected Dao's kindness so decisively. Dao Yin suddenly turned a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his face changed instantly, his whole face was gloomy as ink, and there was a faint threat in his tone: "Everyone, don't you have to live up to Dao's kindness like Captain Zhao?" Live up to General Liang's kindness? ”

"Whatever Captain Dao said, the last general is willing to serve General Liang and go to the soup and fire, and he will not hesitate." Su Liu did not refuse like Zhao San, but was overjoyed, and immediately got up and waved his hand to show his loyalty.

Dao Yin immediately regained his kind look and said: "Captain Su knows current affairs, and Dao appreciates Captain Su's decisiveness. ”

Su Liu was secretly happy because of this praise by the knife.

After that, three more people swore allegiance to Liang Bo, including one captain of 100 people and two captains of 1,000 people, one was from Sun Yun's subordinates, and the other two were from Zhou An's subordinates, which made Sun Xiu extremely annoyed, and looked at the two as if he was looking at two corpses.

"How many captains want to resist to the end?" The insidious nature of the knife made everyone feel disgusted unconsciously.

"Captain Knife, isn't he still planning to force it?" Sun Xiu snorted coldly, but his body, which was as thin as a bamboo pole, burst out with a terrifying momentum, even if it was Dao Yin, he was clenched into a fist by this momentum for a while.

"Why are you so rigid and inflexible? What's wrong with General Liang? Dao Yin said this, but he snorted coldly in his heart.

In terms of ability and loyalty, General Liang is inferior to General Zhou everywhere. But General Liang is better than having someone behind him, and he is still a big man in Beijing, while General Zhou is only General Fang, but General Fang was seriously injured and escaped, which is equivalent to losing the last guarantee.

Fortunately, the tiger father has no dog and daughter, and the Fang family is not the only one who can support the prosperity of the family, the unpredictable Miss Fang, in his opinion, is even more weird and difficult to deal with than General Fang.

Now General Zhou has the support of this female Qincha...... Who wins and who loses is still unknown. (To be continued.) )
