Chapter 10 Going to the Feast
"Thief, your mother, this cowardice doesn't let us enter the city!"
Gao Jie held the reins in one hand and cursed loudly.
The soldiers who came and went back said cautiously: "General, Governor Lu said that he is willing to send us food in accordance with the rules of the guest army." ”
Gao Jie's anger subsided a little when he heard this, and he waved his hand and said: "Our Lao Tzu will eat his Lu Zhenfei, our Lao Tzu will not go anywhere, just stay here in Huai'an!" ”
Seeing this, the corner of the strategist Chen Jinxing's mouth pulled slightly: "Why should Dong Weng be angry? It is already rare that the governor of this road is willing to let Dong Weng be stationed outside the city. ”
Gao Jie said dejectedly: "Our Lao Tzu just can't get used to the faces of these civil officials, dare to love those thieves who were killed by them?" If there was no Lao Tzu working the battlefield, how could they rely on the red and green in the city. ”
"General, Governor Lu said that it is okay for us to be stationed in Huai'an Mansion, but there is one condition......"
Gao Jie heard that Lu Zhenfei still had conditions, and his eyes immediately widened like cowbells.
"What do you say? Is there still a condition for that? ”
"The general is angry, Governor Lu said that it is okay for us to eat food according to the guest army, but please ask the general to restrain the military discipline of the subordinates and not to rob the people."
Gao Jie held his breath in his chest, almost breathing.
"Dong Weng, this condition is not too much. Since the governor was willing to provide us with food, there was no need for Dong Weng to ask the brothers to 'fetch food.'" ”
Gao Jie closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, then sighed: "He Lu Zhenfei thinks that our Lao Tzu is willing to grab food?" These tens of thousands of people eat horses and chew horses, how can they do it without military salaries and robbing? We can't conjure food out of thin air. That's it, since he Lu Zhenfei is willing to provide food, our Lao Tzu promised him to restrain the military discipline of his subordinates. ”
In fact, Gao Jie was a little surprised that Lu Zhenfei offered to fund food.
He fled all the way, and the civil officials of all the prefectures and counties closed the gates of the city and refused to let them enter the city. Although Lu Zhenfei did not let them enter the city, he at least provided food, and now the brothers had their lives.
It's the end of March, and the weather is getting warmer, so even if you set up a tent outside the city, you can't freeze to death. Now that the north is inextricably fighting, Li Zicheng besieged the city of Beijing, and heard that Jiannu also coveted Shanhaiguan, which is really not a place for people to stay.
Gao Jie hasn't figured out what to do next, so he can only take one step at a time.
"General......
"Can you fucking finish your sentence once?"
Gao Jie glared at the soldier fiercely, and said unhappily: "If there is a fart, let it go." ”
"Governor Lu said that he wanted to invite the general into the city for a banquet."
Gao Jie swallowed a mouthful of spit and wondered, "What?" He told Lao Tzu to go to the city for a banquet? Didn't he say that we were not allowed to enter the city? ”
"Governor Lu means that you will only be asked to enter the city for a banquet, and you can bring up to fifty personal soldiers, but the troops must be stationed outside the city."
The soldier said cautiously.
Gao Jie scratched his head and said, "Then what does it mean for us to enter the city?" Could it be that it became a few more glasses of flower wine? ”
Chen Jinxing twisted his beard and groaned for a moment, and said loudly: "Dong Weng, Dong Weng has to go to this banquet." ”
"Oh?"
Gao Jie took Chen Jinxing very seriously, and when he saw his statement, he hurriedly asked, "Why did the military advisor say this?" ”
Chen Jinxing's eyes narrowed, and he said calmly: "If Governor Lu has no intention of befriending the general, he will not agree to help the army according to the rules of the guest army, let alone invite the general into the city for a banquet. The general didn't know that the literati talked about things at the wine table. Since the governor intends to sit down with the general to talk, there must be a possibility of cooperation. ”
Gao Jie patted his thigh and said: "His grandmother's, there are so many flowery intestines in the stomachs of these literati, Lao Tzu almost didn't go around." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Chen Jinxing was also a literati, so he hurriedly waved his hand awkwardly and said, "What General Ben said is not a military advisor. ”
Chen Jinxing smiled faintly: "It's okay." ”
Gao Jie cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment: "Why does the military advisor think that this general should enter the city for a banquet?" ”
"Because the Road Governor can give Dong Weng what he needs." Chen Jinxing paused for a moment, and then said: "Dong Weng can also give Governor Lu what he needs, and both sides will take what they need." ”
"What does the military advisor mean is that the surname Lu is not a Hongmen banquet?"
Chen Jinxing laughed and said: "Naturally, it won't be a Hongmen banquet, Dong Weng didn't threaten Governor Lu." ”
Gao Jie scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, patted his thigh and said, "Okay, General Ben will go to his banquet!" ”

......
"Your Highness, this Wangxian Tower is the largest restaurant in Huai'an City, and it is not a long time to invite General Gao to a banquet here."
Although he was very reluctant, Zhu Cihong said that Lu Zhenfei could only comply. Otherwise, it would be disobeying the order of the East Palace, and this crime was definitely not something that Lu Zhenfei could afford.
"Haoyue Gong, there are no outsiders participating in this banquet except Haoyue Gong and Gu, right?"
Zhu Cihong changed into a lake blue straight jacket, wore a scarf, and was dressed as a scholar.
The prince asked, and Lu Zhenfei replied respectfully; "If you go back to Your Highness, there will be no outsiders. Even Qin Gongmingchen, the chief soldier of the regimental training, did not inform him. ”
Zhu Cihong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.
The less people he saw about Gao Jie, the better. Of course, he believed in Qin Gongming, but Qin Gongming, who was born in a general, may not be able to afford Gao Jie.
In case Qin Gongming sneered at the banquet, it annoyed Gao Jie, but it was not beautiful.
As a person in power, it is not only the interests of individual people that need to be considered, but also the country.
Daming is already riddled with holes, and if Zhu Cihong wants to prosper, he must no longer allow the fight in the nest to happen.
"Report! Gao Jie, the chief military officer, led his own soldiers to the banquet! ”
At this moment, one of Lu Zhenfei's family members rushed to the second floor and knelt down to report.
"Your Highness, what do you see?"
Lu Zhenfei cast an inquiring glance at Zhu Cihong.
"Ask Mr. Gao to leave his own soldiers downstairs and go to the banquet by himself."
Although Zhu Cihong is not worried about Gao's masterpieces, it is always right to be careful.
The pro-soldier was ordered to go, and Zhu Cihong closed his eyes to recuperate.
After a few moments, he heard the sound of heavy footsteps. Only those who march and fight all year round will have such heavy steps.
Zhu Cihong knew that Gao Jie must be coming, so he opened his eyes.
"Haha, Governor Lu held a banquet with great hospitality, but Gao was disrespectful."
Before Gao Jie arrived, Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Cihong cast their eyes towards the entrance of the wooden ladder, but saw a man in a navy blue silk robe pacing up.
Today, the entire Wangxian Tower has been wrapped, so this person cannot be someone else, it must be Gao Jie.
Zhu Cihong carefully looked at this legendary figure with personal experience, and saw that he was born with a wide forehead and thick face, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a body of tendon meat, and his eyebrows were full of heroism.
