Wen Zhong saw that the banquet still needed some time, so he counted the time, so he stood up in person, took the wine jug and walked to the six Taoist masters, the six Taoist masters are all Taoist practitioners who have been practicing for many years, and they are all human spirits who hurriedly changed their faces to smiling, raised their wine glasses and saluted Wen Zhong, Wen Zhong smiled and picked up the wine jug, and began to pour wine for the Taoist elders one by one.

"There is no good wine in the army of the Taoist chiefs, this is the good wine that I have treasured for many years, this time the march has also been brought over, everyone can taste it, and when there is a chance for a few Taoist leaders to go to the court, the old man will set up a banquet to entertain you." Wen Zhong raised his wine glass and drank it with his neck tilted.

Seeing this, several Taoist chiefs also hurriedly raised their glasses and drank it, and then they elected a representative and began to pick up the wine jug on the table, representing their Meishan brothers, pouring wine for Wen Zhong, and the elected representative was Jin Dasheng, he leaned over and poured wine for Wen Zhong, when he poured wine with a smile on his face, and then filled his wine glass and the wine glasses of several brothers with wine, so they drank another round.

"The dish is here."

Wen Zhong made a gesture of "please", and the Meishan brothers also hurriedly humbled themselves, so they all sat down, and then the Huotou army in the army began to serve dishes continuously, these were all arranged by Wen Zhong in advance, it can be said that it is the most sumptuous meal in the current soldiers, and a few plates of meat dishes came up, these meat Wen Zhong is usually reluctant to eat, and today they are all taken out for these Taoist leaders to enjoy.

"Don't be polite, fellow Daoists, just enjoy it, where the hospitality is not good, he will definitely make up for it one day, please!"

As soon as the words fell, Wen Zhong began to eat with chopsticks first, thinking that he would also be wiped out today and eat some good meat, but he was thinking about the rhetoric of waiting for a while, this meal is not for nothing, and there will be words to win people's hearts later, and the goal is to pull these Meishan Taoist priests into the gang.

Wen Zhong thought to himself: "Eat first so that I will eat my short meal, and then push the boat down the river, invite them to join my merchant army, promise their good land and official position, so I am not afraid that they will not be moved, Ao Yes, yes, I will arrange a few female officers with the army to come out and dance a song, these Taoist priests, where have they seen such a thing, and they are reluctant to leave after enjoying it." Besides, if they can help our army win and kill some more Zhou generals, the king will not have any objections and complaints, and at that time, I will return to the court victoriously and take advantage of the situation to kill Daji, and eliminate those obsequious officials, and I will be able to keep peace forever in the world. ”

Wen Zhong has always been loyal to the Shang Dynasty, for many years with the first king of the southern and northern wars, made great achievements, and was extremely loyal to it, was appreciated by the first king of the Shang Dynasty, gave him such a high official position and title, and gave him the golden whip to beat the king, such a high honor in the whole world, and only he enjoyed, in order to repay the kindness of the first king, even if today's Emperor Xin is so stubborn, Wen Zhong has never been angry, he regards Wen Zhong as his own child, an immature and not grown up child, although he has made mistakes many times, He did a lot of crimes, but he still did not give up, the idea of assisting him, and his mind became more and more firm, he felt that without his own assistance, the Shang country would perish sooner or later, in order not to be destroyed, Wen Zhong was determined to protect the world of the Shang country, for which he was old, but he still had to lead the army to go out and vowed to exterminate the Zhou soldiers, so he came to this day step by step.

He saw that the several Dao Masters in Meishan had almost eaten, so he wiped his mouth and said, "The Dao Masters don't know how many years they have been cultivating. ”

"We have been practicing for hundreds of years, and my eldest brother has the highest Taoism, a full thousand years."

"The mana of several Taoist masters is so profound, but unfortunately there is no place for it, isn't it a pity, if you don't dislike it, the old man doesn't know whether to say it or not."

"Oh, look at what you said, if the master has something to say, please tell me, and we will listen to you."

"Now that the Zhou thieves rebelled, when the foundation of my great business was turbulent, the king issued an order to recruit talents, inviting the world's virtuous people to help me put down the rebellion, and promised to calm the rebellion, and share the wealth with you, you said that this is not a great opportunity, you have the ability, and I have a little thin face, I can recommend you in front of the king, then you will have military achievements, glory and wealth are just around the corner, drink!" After Wen Zhong finished speaking fluently, he directly picked up the wine glass.

"Hahaha!"

Wen Zhong dried the wine in his hand, and after listening to his words, several brothers in Meishan were very happy and smiled and drank the wine in their hands.

"I don't know what military merits are available now?"

"It's easy to say, these days the Zhou army is clamoring and stubborn, as long as a few Taoist priests perform magic skills, kill a few more of their Zhou soldiers and Zhou generals, the more they kill, the more military merits will naturally be, and I will also Qiqi King invite merit and reward for several Taoist leaders, isn't the title of money and grain at your fingertips for a few, and he can do whatever he wants." Wen Zhong said with a smile.

In fact, Wen Zhong said these words, half true and half false, he in order to let Meishan brothers, give him hard to fight Zhou Jun, it is inevitable to add a lot of oil and vinegar to the words, but some of them are true, about the matter of meritorious deeds, there is no need to tell the king, he can call the shots in the army, when he left, Di Xin told him that as long as it helps to kill the Zhou soldiers, the Taishi can make his own decisions about such things, and he does not need to inform him, with this sentence Wen Zhong is a lot more relieved, which also makes him feel a lot more relieved, The king of his own family still has one or two wise places.

Therefore, he lured several brothers in Meishan in this way, several brothers in Meishan have been cultivating for many years, and they have long been yearning for glory and wealth, at this moment, they are only thinking about making military merits and getting the benefits promised by Wen Zhong, and for a while their faces showed a greedy look, Wen Zhong saw that they all had this expression on their faces, and he was relieved a lot, not afraid that you would not do anything, the chips could be added again, the money and grain title was not a problem, the problem was whether you could sell your life, if you could, everything would not be a problem, everything would be easy to say.

Then some of the Meishan brothers couldn't sit still, and a few people wanted to say yes directly, but Yang Xian pulled them.

"Let's ask the eldest brother to come back first, and the eldest brother will be in charge."

When the Meishan brothers thought of this, they were not in a hurry, all of this was seen by Wen Zhong.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I believe that even if General Yuan comes back, he will still promise you." Wen Zhong said with a smile.

"Big brother, Dai Li, you're back."

Dai Li carried the weak Yuan Hong on his back and entered the big tent in the camp, only to see Yuan Hong's face pale, looking at the kind of weak and impassive, I don't know what happened, he was still full of energy during the day, how did he become like this after a while.

Wen Zhong thought to himself: "I just talked about you, but I came back, it's good to come back, but it's finally a piece of heart disease." ”

In fact, Wen Zhong was not worried about Yuan Hong's life and death, but worried that he would defect to the Zhou soldiers, which would be equivalent to adding another big enemy to the merchant army, and he had been in the camp for many days, and he also knew some of the situation of our army, and if it leaked out, it would be really unfavorable to our army.

The Meishan brothers hurriedly stood up, and Wen Zhong also hurriedly stood up when he saw General Yuan coming back.

"Hurry up and help Big Brother sit down."

"Come, come, come this way." Seeing that their eldest brother Yuan Hong was so weak, the Meishan brothers hurriedly got up and helped him to sit down on the mat.

They hurriedly brought the wine on the table to Yuan Hong, Yuan Hong had just recovered his human form, his body was very weak, he hurriedly drank a lot of wine, and ate the wine and meat on the table, and then eased back, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he was a little embarrassed, so that the Meishan brothers sat down, and he asked Wen Zhong to sit back.

"Is General Yuan okay? What happened? I have already sent the soldiers in the camp to look for you for more than half a day, why is it like this, could it be that I met Zhou Bing? Wen Zhong deliberately opened his mouth tentatively.

Yuan Hong sighed and said: "I was negligent in my defense, I didn't expect that Ji Fa to look like he was defeated to me, in fact, he led me to the ambush, I encountered hundreds of Zhou soldiers, and fought and killed a hundred Zhou soldiers, then fled to the river, met Brother Dai, and came back after being rescued." ”

Yuan Hong deliberately led the twists and turns, so as not to embarrass in front of Wen Taishi and his brother by saying it, in fact, he was beaten back to the prototype by Ji Fa, and there were many embarrassing things in it, and he didn't want to say it.

Wen Zhong didn't know what was going on, but when he saw that he had a nose and eyes, and killed some Zhou soldiers, he was relieved, and he said: "Since the general is recuperating well, there will be a few Taoist masters for killing the enemy." ”

"It's easy to say, my brothers were originally called by me to help the Taishi, and they are just used today, you haven't come to visit the Taishi, and the glory and wealth all depend on the Taishi." Yuan Hong gave a few brothers a look.

The Meishan brothers, including Yuan Hong, began to kneel down to worship the Taishi at this moment, Wen Zhong asked them to hurry up, and it was another hypocritical statement: "Oh, I can't help it, how can I Wen Zhong accept such a big gift, hurry up, you can rest assured, this matter is on my Wen Zhong." ”

The Meishan brothers looked at each other, and then nodded to each other and got up.

"But our army has recently suffered a new defeat, and General Yuan has been ambushed again today, how can this be good? And how to defeat the enemy? ”

Wen Zhong said in embarrassment, in fact, he was waiting for a few people in Meishan to come up with ideas, he wanted to see how a few of them were able.

"Don't panic, I have a plan to let Zhou Jun suffer tonight." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yuan Hong's eyes.

Wen Zhong had a smile on his face when he heard this, as long as it was against Zhou Jun, he didn't care what happened.
