Chapter 293: Drunkard Pavilion
From the story told by Zhao Zhihai, Mi Chunjia suddenly discovered that it seemed that this lame general had always fought with the Rong people with the weak to defeat the strong, which even included many field battles.
This frightened these Chu people who heard that the barbarians were invincible in the field, and also made them have a deeper fear of Lu Lihua.
You must know that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qi State were killed by 20,000 Rong troops in the field battle, but it happened not long ago.
Therefore, in contrast, the image of Lihua suddenly became tall and powerful in the incredible eyes of everyone.
You must know that if Fang Yuanheng, the once recognized god of war in the world, was standing here, perhaps the people of Chu would not be so surprised. However, a mere 100 generals have achieved so many impressive results in just a few years, and this kind of ideological impact suddenly shocked everyone in the Chu people.
Among all the people in the Chu State, only Gongzi Jia was as uncomfortable as eating a fly at the moment. While dodging the cold gaze that Lihua threw at him, he scolded in his heart for Lihua's respectful appearance.
In the world, among the ministers who can become the actual helmsman of a country, who will not only do their filial piety in front of the teacher, but also be willing to be a green leaf foil in front of foreign envoys.
"It's called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." Mi Chunjia's heart was miserable.
"Don't worry, the eldest man and General Hexi, although the words of the second brother and Lord Mi are rude, they can be regarded as being instructed by Chunxi to ask.
After all, on the premise of not knowing General Hexi's past experience, the life and death of 500,000 soldiers of our Chu State is also the world's first-class major event in Chunxi's opinion, so naturally he can't be careless.
But now that Chunxi has learned of General Hexi's eloquence, we will make a new choice, and I hope that the bigger people and General Hexi will not mind.
In this way, you can't drink alcohol in the Jiesima House, so the younger generation will replace the right to drink with tea to make amends to the middle and the general Li. ”
After saying it without being humble or arrogant, I saw Mi Chunxi Yingying stand up, pick up the teacup and salute Zhao Zhihai and Lihua, raise her head and drink the tea in the cup.
How could Zhao Zhihai not know what Qi Chunxi was thinking in his heart, he immediately turned his face and said with a smile after he glanced at Zhu Lihua: "The fourth princess is serious, the great enemy is currently related to the lives of 500,000 soldiers of the Chu State, and the Chu envoys naturally want to understand clearly, how can the fourth princess talk about making amends." But it was the old man who made some mistakes for you. ”
After Zhao Zhihai finished speaking, Mi Chunxi, who was still standing, glanced at Mi Chang, who was a little pale, and then said with a smile: "Since this is the case, Chunxi is too worried." Today, we have been bothering for a long time, so we will no longer disturb Lord Sima to rest.
However, tonight, Chunxi will have a banquet for the ministers of the countries in the Drunken Weng Pavilion, and he also invited Lord Sangu and Lord Xiao of Qi to attend with Tian Xiangbang, so Chunxi also invited Lord Zhao and General Hexi to come together to discuss the grand plan before the alliance. ”
Zhao Zhihai was overjoyed when he heard this, he knew that his goal had finally been achieved.
Although Mi Chunxi said something neither humble nor arrogant, in just a few words, the sense of oppression brought to them by Zhu Lihua was reversed again. But they finally changed their perception of the Qin State, just because of the Zhu Lihua who was sitting on the bamboo chair and still had a cold light in his eyes.
Qi Chunxi opened his mouth to invite himself to attend the banquet of the Drunkard Pavilion, in Zhao Zhihai's opinion, even if the people of Chu have changed their original view of the Qin State, they only want it
The idea of helping Qi Guo.
Zhao Zhihai had heard as early as ten days ago that in this banquet of the Drunkard Pavilion, the countries would agree on the direction of the Chu State's reinforcements, and as for the alliance ceremony, it was just a situation.
From being ignored to finally receiving the invitation, Zhao Zhihai's heart was already excited, but how could he, who was old enough to be in the accident, easily see the joy and anger in his heart. So Zhao Zhihai smiled faintly, and after saying thank you, he agreed to Mi Chunxi's invitation.
And after seeing that Mi Chunxi and Zhao Zhihai were smiling and fighting, Zhu Lihua seemed to have regained his appearance of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and let Zhao Zhihai talk and laugh with the people of Chu while he himself began to say nothing.
It's just that at this time, in the eyes of those Chu people, this lame general is as terrible as the silent Shura.
After sending off Mi Chunxi, Zhao Zhihai, who had instructed Lihua to go to the banquet with him, went out of the Jiezi Mansion again, because for tonight's banquet, he had to take Gu Daoyuan to visit a few "old friends", so as to increase the bargaining chips to win reinforcements.
But Yu Lihua was in a daze under the company of Yu Xin'er, because the princess of Chu deliberately walked in front of him when she left, and whispered to him: "I hope that Mr. Don't forget to go to the banquet, and Chunxi will pay back the tea money." It made him feel strange and familiar in his heart.
But he was sure in his heart that he had never seen this princess, but why did she let herself feel familiar.
Puzzled, Zhu Lihua patted Yu Xin'er's hand on his shoulder and said, "Xin'er, you also go with me tonight, carry the jade well, and see if you will meet him." ”
......
Half a day in a hurry, fleeting.
When Zhao Zhihai took Gu Daoyuan and Lu Lihua to the Drunken Man's Pavilion located on Zhuque Street in the outer city, the sky was already dark, but the lights outside the Drunkard's Pavilion were bright, illuminating the entire street as if it were day.
On the way here, everyone has seen clearly that the entire Suzaku Street has been completely blocked, except for more than a dozen vehicles carrying nobles from all over the world to the Drunken Man's Pavilion for a banquet, but the Suzaku Street, which was lively and extraordinary in the past, is as rare as an empty space.
But if you look closely, there are still shadows in many places on the side of the street where the lights can't shine, and many young men in various clothes are standing coldly staring at each other.
"It seems that tonight's banquet will indeed be the last competition between the countries before the alliance, otherwise how could there be so many big people, and they would not hesitate to wipe out the entire Suzaku Street."
Zhao Zhihai got out of the carriage, nodded after listening to Gu Daoyuan's heavy words that came closer, and said, "If it weren't for Hua'er, I'm afraid we might not even be qualified to participate in tonight's banquet." Dao is far away, I'm afraid that the fortune of my Great Qin will be decided tonight. ”
Gu Daoyuan was deeply impressed by Zhao Zhihai's words, and watched the middle and older people slowly walk towards the drunkard building, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow. Once upon a time, the envoy of Daqin would always be the protagonist of this kind of banquet, but now that the country is broken and the mountains and rivers are broken, the city is empty and the grass and trees are deep, and the people of Daqin even have to snort when they even participate in the banquet.
However, Gu Daoyuan was a person who was full of Chengfu after all, and after a moment of emotion, his face was as usual, and he took two quick steps to keep up with Zhao Zhihai's footsteps.
After the carriage of the two, Lihua also got out of the carriage with the support of Yu Xin'er, Mao Biao and others, and then Yu Xin'er pushed Lihua's bamboo chair and walked towards the Drunkard Pavilion.
"Mao Qianren, let the brothers find a place to guard the door. It depends on the situation tonight
The banquet is not so simple, and you and your brothers should also keep your eyes open. If there is any change, you can deal with it at your discretion, but remember to keep Nakagen and Zaizuka-sama safe. ”
Mao Biao followed by the bamboo chair of Zhu Lihua, and when he heard Zhu Lihua's order, he immediately turned solemn and should leave with a fist. Immediately, he arranged for more than 100 soldiers to drive the carriage to the side of the street, and then led the crowd to disappear in the darkness, looking at the elites of the nations wearing various colors who were also hidden in the darkness.
Zhao Zhihai took Gu Daoyuan, Zhu Lihua, and Yu Xin'er into the Drunkard Pavilion, and there was immediately a man dressed as a general who was in charge of greeting him at the entrance of the pavilion, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him surrounded by a group of red-clothed soldiers.
When the man saw that it was Zhao Zhihai, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Lord Zhao, Zuo has lost his welcome, and he hopes to atone for his sins." It's just that the two adults who came to the banquet with the adults and General Yuli are very face-to-face, can Lord Zhao introduce the identity of the person who came? After all, the four princesses have an order, and those who have not received the invitation are not allowed to enter. ”
Zhao Zhihai obviously also knew this general surnamed Zuo who had come to his mansion with Mi Chunxi during the day, so after listening to him, he nodded slightly and pointed to the two behind him and said: "This is my Great Qin Zaizuka Gu Daoyuan, and the person behind General Hexi is ......"
"This is my personal soldier, I believe General Zuo can also see that it is inconvenient for Lihua to walk, and he needs to be taken care of by others when he comes and goes. That's why he took the initiative and brought a personal soldier here.
I don't know if General Zuo will agree to let me bring my own soldiers in. If I didn't agree, I had to climb in on my own. ”
When the man of the Chu State heard that Zhao Zhihai introduced him to Gu Daoyuan, he was immediately full of respect for this old man in his fifties, the reputation of this Lord Xianhe of the Qin State was like thunder, and when the Rong people of the past were going to crusade in the east, the disputes between the countries of the world had never been missing this Gu Zaizuka.
It can be said that at that time, the huge pressure that the Qin State shrouded over the countries turned into a concrete image, and I am afraid that it was this red-faced old man.
After General Chu bowed to Gu Daoyuan, he heard what Zhu Lihua said, and the general surnamed Zuo immediately laughed loudly and said:
"Where did General Zhuli speak, this is Wangji, not my Chu State, where to go in and out with who is the freedom of General Zhuli, how can we arbitrarily interfere with the freedom of the guests.
It's just that the people who came to the banquet in the cabinet today are all nobles and ministers of various countries, and they took the initiative not to bring their own soldiers into the cabinet in order to save face for my princess.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with General Yuli bringing his own soldiers inside, so why should he seek the advice of the last general. ”
After the general surnamed Zuo finished speaking, he saluted and smiled slightly. In fact, for Zhu Lihua, the general surnamed Zuo is extremely admired in his heart, after all, both of them are in the army, and Zhu Lihua's record is exactly the goal that those who lead the troops to fight are striving for.
Such a hero should not be neglected, so even though Mi Chunxi had ordered that those who went to the banquet were not allowed to enter the cabinet with their own soldiers, the man surnamed Zuo obviously did not implement it throughout.
Because in his opinion, the entry of a pro-soldier into the cabinet does not hinder the overall situation at all, but it can make the hero get the respect and dignity he deserves.
Seeing that the man surnamed Zuo was neither humble nor arrogant when he spoke, he didn't expose the hypocrisy in his words, but after returning the salute with a fist to the man surnamed Zuo, he turned his head and nodded slightly to Yu Xin'er.
Yu Xin'er immediately pushed him to follow behind Zhao Zhihai and Gu Daoyuan, and entered the Drunkard Pavilion.
