"General Xue."

Just when Xue Ao was talking and laughing with Zhao Yu and Li Meng, Tong Yan interjected on the side: "You have worked hard all the way, and the lower officials have prepared a banquet in the mansion for you to receive the wind, and I also ask General Xue to appreciate his face." ”

Hearing this, Xue Ao looked at Tong Yan with deep meaning.

Observing Xue Ao's expression, Zhao Yu felt that he might want to say something, but in the end, Xue Ao just nodded coldly: "Then disturb." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yu's heart moved slightly: Could it be that it is not that this General Xue is difficult to get along with, but that he has some grievances with Tong Yan?

On the way back to Liangcheng, Zhao Yu once again privately probed Li Meng's tone: "Captain Li, do you know General Xue?" ”

"Well, don't mention it."

Li Meng looked a little embarrassed to mention it, but finally explained to Zhao Yu: "I used to be young and vigorous, relying on the power of my family, and I had some friction with General Xue when I was young, and I was taught a hard lesson by him when I made a provocation...... Alas, it's unbearable to look back, it's unbearable to look back. ”

Zhao Yu moved slightly when he heard this: It turns out that this Li Meng is most likely also a child of the Li family.

Suddenly, he asked Li Mengdao: "General Xue and Captain Tong, what kind of grievance?" I feel that General Xue doesn't seem to want to see Captain Tong......"

It is estimated that Li Meng also saw it, frowned slightly and glanced at Xue Ao and Tong Yan, who were driving the mount in front, and after a little thought, reminded Zhao Yu: "I don't know about this either." …… Even if he has any prejudices against Tong Duwei, it has nothing to do with you and me, and Zhou Duwei still doesn't want to dig into it. ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yu could only give up: "Thank you Captain Li for reminding him." ”

Around the time of Shen, the group returned to the territory of Liangcheng and came all the way to the camp of Zhao Yu and Li Meng.

At this time, I saw Xue Ao shouting loudly: "Wei Bi, Wei Bi." …… Where did you go? ”

After a while, a general who looked very steady rode his horse to Xue Ao's side, clasped his fists and responded, "General." ”

I saw Xue Ao pointing to the camp not far away, and ordered: "Let the brothers temporarily camp according to this camp." …… Don't mess with me. ”

The general called Wei Xuan hugged his fists and said calmly: "The general said that he laughed, in our army, only the general is the best at causing trouble, as long as the general does not cause trouble, no one will cause trouble." ”

"This general...... You're welcome."

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at Xue Ao meaningfully, but saw the latter glaring at Wei Bi viciously, and said with a bit of gritted teeth: "I'm going to drive you back sooner or later." ”

Unexpectedly, Wei Bi was not afraid at all, but said with a smile: "Then the general will be relaxed......"

"Less nonsense. …… Hurry up and order the stationing! ”

"Yes!"

『……』

Zhao Yu and Li Meng glanced at each other, both a little confused.

Probably noticing Li Meng's gaze, Xue Ao spread his hands and said, "That guy, because he was sent by the old man, is always disrespectful to me......

That was said, but there was not the slightest irritation in his eyes.

"Old man? It wouldn't be referring to his stepfather, Taishi Chen, would it?'

Zhao Yu's face under the mask showed a little strange look.

After complaining a few words about his subordinates, Xue Ao suddenly thought of something, turned to Li Meng and Zhao Yu and said, "By the way, Li Meng, I will go to Tong Yan's Mansion to drink later, you bring all your generals, let's celebrate today." ”

"Celebration?" Li Meng was puzzled and asked, "Celebrate what?" ”

From the side, Tong Yan said with a smile: "Naturally, I celebrated the defeat of the rebels in advance." …… With General Xue sitting in Liang County, how can the rebels be undefeated? ”

“……”

Xue Ao glanced at Tong Yan lightly, and then said with a bit of arrogance: "That's what's going on." ”

Looking at Tong Yan and then at Xue Ao, Zhao Yu's heart moved slightly.

He could see that Tong Yan wanted to befriend Xue Ao, but for some reason, this Xue Ao seemed to have some prejudice against Tong Yan, and he was quite cold to him along the way - in contrast, it was him, the first person he met, who could still talk and laugh with this General Xue.

"Could it be that there is really some contradiction between the two?"

Zhao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

In view of Xue Ao's invitation, Zhao Yu called Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Cao Wu, Qin Wei, Xu Shen, Xu Ma, Liu Tu and other generals.

And Li Meng's side also called several subordinates.

During this period, Gu Xuan, the county guard of Liangjun, also brought Changshi Wang Yi and other officials from the county guard to visit Xue Ao.

Since entering the city with Li Meng to meet this Gu county guard a few days ago, this is the second time Zhao Yu has seen this Liang County guard.

It is worth mentioning that, according to what Zhao Yu saw with his own eyes, Xue Ao, the general of the cavalry, was also quite polite to Gu Xuan, the county guard of Liangjun, although he still had an arrogant tone of 'the boss of the sky, the second of the earth, and the third of me'.

Only for Tong Yan, this Xue Ao seems to have some prejudices.

Around dusk, Zhao Yu took Wang Qing, Niu Heng and other generals, followed Tong Yan, Xue Ao, and Li Meng into Liangcheng again. Follow-up

As a general of other counties, this is also the second time that he, Li Meng and others have entered Liang County.

The rest of the time, Zhao Yu and Li Meng stayed in the camp, training their soldiers while waiting for the rebels to attack Liangcheng.

On the same day, the place where Tong Yan, the governor of Liang County, invited Xue Ao to a banquet, that is, the main hall of the front house where he feasted Zhao Yu and Li Meng in the mansion a few days ago, the only difference is that Tong Yan sat firmly on the main seat last time, and this time, he intended to give up the main seat to Xue Ao.

Unexpectedly, Xue Ao didn't appreciate it at all, and sat down at the chief of the east with his arms around Li Meng's neck.

It stands to reason that although the Taiyuan army brought by Xue Ao was far less than the 40,000 Henan army and the 20,000 Yingchuan army, depending on the official position and status, it should be Xue Ao and his subordinates sitting in the relatively noble east seat, while Li Meng and Zhao Yu sat in the west seat.

However, Xue Ao put his arms around Li Meng's neck and sat down at the chief in the east, and even pointed to take care of Zhao Yu: "Captain Zhou, you sit here, I want to hear about your achievements in Kunyang later." ”

"Are we sitting in the east?"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised, and subconsciously looked at Xue Ao's generals, but saw that the generals led by Wei Bi had already sat down in the seats to the west, without the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces, only helplessness.

As a result, the seat was thus decided: except for Xue Ao, an 'outsider', Li Meng and Zhao Yu and their subordinates all sat on the relatively noble east seat, while the opposite west seat sat a group of Xue Ao's subordinates headed by Wei Bi.

However, there was no dissatisfaction on both sides.

"This ...... Is it unintentional? Or is it intentional?'

Glancing at Xue Ao, who was hugging Li Meng's neck and laughing, Zhao Yu was slightly shocked.

Sometimes, a person's means and city can be seen from the details.

If this matter is deliberately done by Xue Ao, then this is an extremely powerful character, and his mind is so delicate that it is staggering.

"Smack."

As Tong Yan, who was sitting on the main seat, clapped his hands twice, several music girls Ying Ying walked out and danced to everyone present.

Although he had seen it two days ago, Zhao Yu was still a little surprised: this Tong Yan actually raised a music girl in the house.

Well, with his Yingchuan Duwei's 1,200 stone a year, he can actually afford to raise a happy girl, but looking at Tong Yan's magnificent mansion and the many treasured things in the mansion, Zhao Yu believes that he definitely does not live only on his fortune.

Just when Zhao Yu was secretly thinking, Xue Ao and Li Meng, who were sitting on top of him, suddenly changed seats, making Xue Ao and Zhao Yu sit next to each other.

Zhao Yu originally thought that Xue Ao was going to ask him about his defeat of Guan Shuo last year, but he didn't expect that Xue Ao's mouth startled him: "A few years ago, it was Zhou Duwei who asked my third child to return to Jinan with a disgraced face, right?" …… The third child in my family, surnamed Zhang Mingjing, Zhou Duwei doesn't want to say that he doesn't recognize it. ”

"......" Rao is Zhao Yu, and when he heard this sentence coldly, he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, I saw Xue Ao laughing and said: "Sure enough, it's Zhou Duwei, hahahaha, tell me quickly, when I meet him in the future, I will laugh at him." ”

"This ...... Is it really Zhang Jing's brother-in-law?"

Zhao Yu was quite stunned, but looking at Xue Ao's gloating face, he didn't think it was a fraud.

Xue Ao's laughter attracted Li Meng's attention, and the latter asked curiously, "Brother Xue, what's wrong?" ”

I saw Xue Ao pointing at Zhao Yu, and said to Li Meng with a smile: "I don't think you know, this Zhou Duwei is amazing, even the third child of my family suffered in his hands back then......"

"General Zhang Jing? How so? Li Meng looked at Zhao Yu with a shocked face.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Zhao Yu could only explain the events of the year simply: "That year, Zhou was still a 'villain in the mountains' in Yingshan, and was surrounded and suppressed by Kunyang, Yexian and other counties...... Later, I learned that it was the famous 'Five Tigers of Chenmen'......"

He glanced at Xue Ao quietly, and when he saw Xue Ao smiling all over his face, his heart moved slightly, and he turned to praise Zhang Jing: "I only knew that day that there were such fierce generals in the world. If it weren't for God's blessing, I'm afraid I wouldn't have escaped......"

Sure enough, hearing Zhao Yu praise Zhang Jing incessantly, Xue Ao had a stronger smile on his face, but he said: "Even the three-legged cat like the third child can also be called a fierce general?" ”

Zhao Yu, who liked him, deliberately said when he heard this: "If General Zhang Jing is not a fierce general, who else in the world can be called a fierce general?" ”

"Lao Tzu!"

I saw Xue Ao unceremoniously pointing at himself with his thumb, and said with an arrogant face: "When it comes to martial arts, the boss has to stand aside, not to mention the third, fourth, and fifth, even if he is an old man, he is in his thirties, and he may not be my opponent." As he spoke, he pondered for a moment and changed his words: "Well, let's be twenty years younger, I remember that the old man was still very fierce when he was in his forties." ”

『……』

Seeing this General Xue say these words with a serious face, Zhao Yu was really a little crying and laughing.

At the same time, he is more and more unsure of this Xue Ao - is this person scheming or not scheming?

"Do you want to try it?" Xue Ao suddenly asked with a smile.

"What?" Zhao Yu was puzzled.

"I mean, do you want to ask your generals to fight me later?" Xue Ao pointed to Niu Heng, who was sitting next to Zhao Yu and eating and drinking, and said with a smile: "For example, that reckless man, just by looking at this rough appearance, I know that he is a powerful warrior......"

Following Xue Ao's gaze, I saw Niu Hengzheng tearing a chicken into two, taking a bite on the left and a bite on the right, and then picked up the wine cup and poured a sip of wine, eating with a mouth full of oil, and his eyes lit up.

"Huh?"

Maybe he sensed something, Niu Heng suddenly turned his head, and even saw Zhao Yu, Xue Ao, and Li Meng all looking at him.

"Look...... See what I do? ”
