"Brother Chen Zhong, why are you free to come to our Hengshan camp today?"

"Take the captains of the camp quickly, take out your private wine, and go with me to the feast! Your Majesty has arrived at my righteous word camp! ”

"How many people came? I'm afraid it's not a Hongmen banquet! Feng Hengshan spoke too directly

"Yokoyama, what nonsense! Just Your Majesty and the Prime Minister! His Majesty specially instructed to make wishful dishes! ”

"That's really weird! Could it be that soldiers or killers were secretly transferred? ”

"In addition to our 60,000-strong Chen family army in Xiangyang City, what can the remaining 20,000 miscellaneous fish do to us? Besides, if there is any change in the city, can we not know? Don't think about it! Hurry up and get ready to eat and drink! ”

Chen Zhong ran six camps by himself, and when he came back, many people had already arrived, and the emperor had already talked to them, and they all seemed to be relaxed.

At the end of the Shen period, there were a total of 120 captains and captains of the 24th Battalion.

The soldiers of the Yizi battalion had already set up fifty cauldrons for cooking wishful dishes.

The emperor's dictation was to bring out 300 jars of good wine, but the captains and captains from each battalion brought another 1,200 jars of wine.

Fifteen hundred jars of wine were densely placed on the ground, Liu Jian was shocked when he saw it, when he was the king of Han, there were only more than 100 jars of wine in the palace.

Liu Jian thought that this time all the battalions had made great efforts, especially the Yizi battalion, and took out three hundred jars of good wine at once.

"Brothers of the Chen family, let you break the bank!"

"Your Majesty is too polite, what is this, our Hengshan Camp is nothing if we move another thousand jars of wine!" Feng Hengshan said with a shy belly and a humble face

The faces of the others changed color, this Feng Hengshan really didn't give the emperor face, and he actually put a wide show in front of the emperor.

Everyone first looked at Feng Hengshan, and then turned to Liu Jian to see how the emperor responded.

Liu Jian went straight to touch Feng Hengshan's stomach: "I see, eighty percent of your stomach is a bar!" ”

Before Feng Hengshan could answer, Liu Jian spoke to the others again: "It seems that I am too poor, you have all become rich people one by one, you all tell the truth, how many properties have you purchased in secret?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to answer easily, after all, a companion is like a tiger, if he really tells the truth, if he doesn't get it right, it will become evidence of his crimes in the future.

"I said that you are all big men, why are you so stingy, do you really think that Lao Tzu, the emperor, is poor and crazy and came to knock you on the bamboo bar? Do you have Lao Tzu's fleet? Do you have any overseas treasures? Lao Tzu just wants to see how you are doing, after so many years of fighting, have you handed over all the military pay to your wife? ”

This scolding, everyone laughed along

"Your Majesty is still as interesting as it was back then! I like it! ”

"It is said that Your Majesty has been very close to those Confucian scholars since he left the army, and we thought that His Majesty had also become pedantic?" Wei Yidu of the Lingjiang camp waved his hand at Liu Mingge as soon as he finished speaking

"I'm not a Confucian student, I'm a cultivator, by the way, I bet that none of you can beat me!" Liu Mingge looked at everyone contemptuously

These generals, who are either big shoulders and round waists, or short and lean, look at Liu Mingge with some disdain

"Prime Minister Liu, we are not as good as you in governing the country, but this galloping field has broken through the barriers, and the Prime Minister is afraid that he will not be able to talk all about it" Zhang Mengqi of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion stared at Liu Mingge

"It's all big men, why bother, everyone, I'm going to gamble with you today, I bet that you can win Prime Minister Liu, if you win, I'll punish Prime Minister Liu Cheng for lying on the ground and learning to bark!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and in their opinion, the emperor had won, and the prime minister would be humiliated in public.

Some stories about Liu Mingge, in fact, Chen Jiajun has also heard of them, but they always think that they are exaggerated, after all, Chen Hongyi's martial arts are so high, and Murong Ling can fight with him. How could there be so many peerless masters in this world. What's more, this story of Liu Mingge sounds very much like a charlatan.

Liu Mingge also smiled: "Hahaha, the minister's decree, I am willing to lose the bet, can the generals agree?" ”

"Hahahaha, willing to gamble and lose, promise"

"Yes, 10,000 yes!"

"Prime Minister, don't blame us for bullying you!"

"Let's send Feng Hengshan to fight, haha, if Zhang Mengqi kills the prime minister by mistake, it won't be good!"

Liu Mingge swept everyone's eyes: "No, no, no, you choose ten people, go together, and choose your own blade!" If you lose, learn a few rooster crows! ”

"Hahahaha, it's okay to learn from a donkey and a cat, haha, yes!"

“

Yes! ”

"Hahaha, good, good!"

Everyone randomly selected ten captains to fight, waiting to see Liu Mingge learn to bark.

Each of the ten captains took some ordinary spears and held them upside down to avoid hurting Liu Mingge.

Liu Mingge also took a spear and snapped it off, and only took half of the wooden pole without the tip of the gun to fight.

In order to end the battle quickly, the ten captains surrounded them together, preparing to cross Liu Mingge.

Liu Mingge stooped backwards and slid out on his knees when the ten spears were about to touch him, and the wooden pole in his hand swept down the three of them.

The onlookers exclaimed together: "The prime minister looks like a scholar, but he also has such skills!" ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy, everyone stand back!" Zhang Mengqi saw that Liu Mingge was a master, and began to command everyone

But as he spoke, Liu Mingge rose up and knocked down the two closest to him.

After a while, five out of ten people were knocked to the ground by Liu Mingge.

The remaining five men were back to back, spears in front of them, this time with the tips of their spears pointed outward.

Liu Mingge suddenly shouted: "I'm going to knock you over from the sky!" ”

Three of the five really looked to the sky, and taking advantage of the mistake of God, Liu Mingge knocked down two more people.

Three to one, the originally lively crowd of onlookers all held their breath.

Liu Jian smiled: "You guys, you underestimate the enemy, hey, even Lao Tzu has to learn to crow a rooster!" Hahahaha! ”

There was no suspense in the result, and Liu Mingge won.

Suddenly, the rooster crowed endlessly, and even the roosters in Xiangyang City crowed.

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and happy, and Liu Jian laughed out loud after learning three chicken crows: "Oh, in the past few years, today is the happiest!" Come on, come on, and bring all the wishful dishes to all the soldiers! ”

This wishful dish is Chen Jiajun's originality, in fact, it is to cook the usual dry food residues and tofu foam with dried meat and fish, and then with some wild vegetables. Generally, when it is cooked like this, it is after the capture of the city or the defeat of the enemy, or before the decisive battle, so it is called a wishful dish.

The soldiers on the periphery stood on tiptoe and looked at Liu Jian and Liu Mingge, in their impression, it was impossible for the emperor and prime minister to eat this kind of food that only low-level soldiers would eat.

Liu Jian shouted: "Serve me a big bowl first!" Give the prime minister another bowl! The rest of you are at your own disposal! ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

"Your Majesty is willing to share weal and woe with us, and we will swear allegiance to Your Majesty!"

"I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty!"

"Mighty Son! Invincible, invincible! ”

The generals kept shouting long live, but their eyes were staring at the bowls in Liu Jian and Liu Ming's singers.

Liu Jian knew the taste of this wishful dish, scooped a big spoon full of it and fed it to his mouth, and swallowed it happily.

Liu Mingge is used to eating fine food, but this time it's really hard for him.

But if you don't eat this wishful dish at this time, this trip may be in vain.

Liu Mingge also scooped a spoonful of wild vegetables and ate them, chewing painfully.

"Taste the bitterness of the world! Very good, I fought with you generals today, thanks to your mercy! Thank you here! With that, he swallowed hard

"The Prime Minister of the Son of Heaven and the little soldiers share weal and woe, this is something that has not happened since the founding of the Great Liang, Prime Minister, Zhang Mengqi is in service today!"

"Prime Minister's martial arts are world-famous! I wait for admiration! Ten thousand years of the Son of Heaven! The prime minister is mighty! ”

"Hey, hey, eat and drink, don't be the same as the last court, if you like the court, you will all go to the court tomorrow!" Liu Jian put down his rice bowl and picked up the wine jar beside him

Everyone also raised the wine jar one after another, and Liu Mingge was the first to pour the wine into his mouth and drink half of it in one go.

Everyone burst into laughter, and Liu Jian raised the wine jar above his head: "Brothers! Now that they are all rich, I am very happy! Come on, come on, don't get drunk today, talk freely today! ”

Feng Hengshan patted his stomach: "Your Majesty, the last general's stomach is full of big truths!" Today, I originally suspected that His Majesty had set up a Hongmen banquet to clean us up, haha! But until now, His Majesty has been broad-minded and has roughly conquered the last general, and the last general swears here today that only His Majesty's holy order is obeyed in this life, so that the last general can go to death and the last general is also willing! Then he drank all the wine in the jar, and his stomach swelled again.

"I love a straightforward general like you! I also made an oath in front of you today, and since I started, I will not kill the generals except for rebellion! ”

Another mountain cry long live,

In the blink of an eye, only a small half of the wine remained.

Liu Jian was already a little drunk: "This wine is not enough!" I'm afraid I'm going to spoil the fun tonight! ”

"Your Majesty looks down on us too much! It's not a minister boasting, there are tens of thousands of jars of wine stored in our Yizi Camp, and we are full! Half of the wineries inside and outside Xiangyang City are opened by Yizi Camp! ”

"Hahahaha, it's exposed! Okay, well, if I want to drink in the future, I'll only look for you Chen Zhong! ”

"Your Majesty can appreciate your face, and the wine of our Yizi Camp will be better sold!"

"You can't let Chen Zhongzhan for any good thing! Your Majesty, the dart game of our cavalry camp also depends on Your Majesty's grace to take care of it! ”

"And our brickyard brickyard! Your Majesty will use our bricks and tiles to fight back to Jinling in the future! ”

"The cloth and silk storefront of our Tsing Yi camp still hopes that Your Majesty and the Prime Minister will go to the inscription!"

After a few jars of wine, the business of the twenty-four battalions was all handed over to Liu Jian, Liu Mingge was secretly worried when he heard it, no wonder this Chen Jiajun was so domineering, except that Chen Hongyi treated them generously, the real confidence came from the fact that each battalion had a franchised industry and a field in Lingnan. Even if the imperial court does not pay silver for ten years, the Chen family army is richer than any army, and respecting the imperial court is only that they still have Chen Hongyi in their hearts, and there is still a trace of loyalty and patriotism.

Liu Jian saw that everyone was drunk, so he suddenly burst into tears

Everyone was at a loss: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not measured in their words, and the etiquette is not careful, please forgive your majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general and others are all loyal people, Your Majesty gives an order, and the last general will immediately go to charge for Your Majesty!"

Liu Jian covered his face with his hands: "I know the loyalty of all the brothers!" But since Chen Dashuai resigned and went into hiding, the dragons have no leader, and I am afraid that this Chen family army will be destroyed in my hands after a long time, so I cry loudly! Can the brothers share my worries? ”

The generals looked at Liu Mingge, "Your Majesty, we know what you mean, we are willing to obey the orders of Prime Minister Liu as the commander-in-chief!" ”

"I'm waiting to obey Prime Minister Liu, and I'm willing to listen to Prime Minister Liu's orders!"

"No! Liu has a bad temper and likes to scold and beat people! I can't stand eating this wishful dish every day! When the time comes, this Chen family army will fall apart, and I will be a sinner for the ages! ”

Everyone looked at Liu Jian and waited for Liu Jian to speak

Liu Jian sighed: "If only there was a commander who could share weal and woe with you and was willing to serve, it would be great!" ”

"There's one guy who fits! Chen Dashuai's closed disciple Li Xiaofei! Sun Qing, the captain of the Feizi Battalion, spoke, this Feizi Battalion was originally composed of the team led by Li Xiaofei back then, and of course he hoped that Li Xiaofei would be the commander at this moment.

"This, Li Xiaofei's martial arts skills are not high, and his art of war strategy is not mediocre! I'm afraid it's hard to convince everyone" Liu Jian looked at everyone, wanting to see everyone's reaction

At this moment, everyone was a little drunk, and a few people were friendly with Li Xiaofei, so they shouted together: "Your Majesty Shengming, Li Xiaofei will take over and wait for me to obey!" ”

"I am willing to follow His Majesty's will and follow Li Xiaofei as the commander!"

"Okay, just follow the brothers, come, don't get drunk tonight!"

The appointment of the emperor, the drinking words of the generals, and the compromise of the courtiers finally allowed Li Xiaofei to take over the Chen family's army.

Li Xiaofei, who received Liu Jian's secret letter, took Hongrui back to Xiangyang with Murong Qing and King Linjiang, and recommended Sima Ke to be the new minister of Linjiang before leaving.

Liu Jian deliberately reprimanded Li Xiaofei for bringing the vassal king into Beijing without a request, and the courtiers understood it, and they all exonerated Li Xiaofei on the grounds that his father was kind and filial piety, and that the king of Linjiang needed to learn etiquette from a famous teacher.

With the steps, it is natural that the monarchs and ministers are harmonious, and Liu Jian and Li Xiaofei are reunited.

Li Xiaofei originally thought that he had been in the Chen Jiajun and was a closed disciple of Chen Hongyi, coupled with the emperor's strong support, he would definitely be able to say nothing in the Chen Jiajun.

As a result, on the first day of taking office, Li Xiaofei sent an order to raise the account and let the generals and schools of each battalion come to discuss the matter, but no one came, and all of them said that they were sick and hid at home.

A few entourages from the Linjiang army comforted Li Xiaofei: "Marshal, bid farewell to General Chen a few days ago, these generals and colonels are all unconscious, I'm afraid that they haven't eased up today, it's better to raise the account in three days!" ”

Li Xiaofei knew that this was for him to step down: "That's true, even I am holding on, and I will raise the account in three days!" ”

The entourage retreated first, and Li Xiaofei walked around the camp alone, he really didn't understand why these generals and colonels were openly disobedient.

The soldiers on the side seemed to be whispering, and Li Xiaofei knew that he had some estrangement with them that he didn't know when.

At this time, it is not possible to rely on oneself, you must borrow strength!
