Chapter 238: The Sun Hung Gate Banquet
(Yesterday morning, I went to the airport to send the leader's father-in-law, mother-in-law and son back to Hangzhou, and picked up the two leaders from Hangzhou to Shijiazhuang in the afternoon. )
The guests of honor drank and talked happily, and under the suppression of Liu Zhang, those generals who resisted Liu Cong's entry into Shu had no choice but to accept the facts. Only the general Zhang Ren did not listen to Liu Zhang's orders and resolutely refused to attend Liu Zhang's banquet to invite Liu Cong. He didn't even say hello to Zhao Yun face-to-face. The banquet was scheduled for the next day, and Liu Zhang invited the heroes of Yizhou and the wealthy families of Guanghan County.
And Liu Cong, who had just arrived in Luoxian, was already exhausted, ready to rest for a night, and tomorrow he will appear in front of the representatives of the Guanghan Hao clan and the Yizhou Junjie with a new image, leaving a good impression on everyone. But some people didn't let Liu Cong be at peace. This person is none other than Liu Cong's think tank Pang Tong, and Yizhou Nei Ying Fazheng and Zhang Song.
The three of them did not rest after saying goodbye to Liu Zhang, and took turns to visit Liu Cong. said the same content, that is, to persuade Liu Cong to take this opportunity to kill Liu Zhang and then seize Yizhou. Liu Cong immediately denied it. Liu Zhang's son inherited his father's business and operated in Yizhou for many years, how did he come when he first arrived, so he killed Liu Zhang, and the people were not convinced.
Moreover, Liu Zhang has a son Liu Xun in Chengdu, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and other generals do not welcome him, once they learn the news to block the road into Shu, the 20,000 people they brought will not be able to reach the soldiers and horses in Yizhou after all. Yizhou must be taken, but it can only be taken slowly.
In particular, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Li Hui, Dong He and other famous generals will be the key to governing Yizhou in the future. There is nothing wrong with Pang Tong and others as think tanks.
But Liu Cong is a hegemon, how to choose is very critical, there are thousands of strategies in the world, and the results may affect the general trend of the entire Han court, Liu Cong can't take risks. Didn't Liu Bei and Liu Xuande in the history books also camp in Mengyu Pass for a year, Liu Bei was only fifty years old and patient, and he was only twenty-seven, what was the hurry?
Seeing Liu Cong's insistence on refusing, Pang Tong was also helpless, although Liu Cong was temporarily transferred from the position of Jiangxia's deputy to the army division this time, but Pang Tong only thought that he had not won Liu Cong's enough trust, maybe Zhuge Liang could persuade the lord here, Pang Tong might be in a better mood if he knew that Zhang Song and Fa Zheng had returned in vain.
And Zhang Song and Fa Zheng are obviously unwilling to give up, Zhang Song has been to Xiangyang since the thirteenth year of Jian'an, and he has decided that Liu Cong is the master of the Ming, and he is bound to make meritorious deeds to win trust, and offering a plan to kill Liu Zhang is just the beginning. Then he discussed with Fa Zheng until midnight, and then found Zhao Yun, the commander of Liu Cong's escort battalion.
"General Zhao, Liu Zhang is weak, General Zhengnan came all the way to Yuxian County not for Yizhou, for the sake of Kuang Fu plan, but General Zhengnan is merciful and unwilling to kill his relatives, and he will ask the general to help tomorrow......"
Although Zhao Yun is the champion of the three armies, his brain is definitely not as good as Fa Zheng and Zhang Song, so he agreed under the encouragement and flickering of the two.
On the second day, Liu Zhang first sent people outside the city to reward the officers and soldiers of the three armies in Jingzhou, and then held a banquet to entertain Liu Cong and his party in the county guard mansion of Yuxian County. Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and Pang Tong attended the meeting.
Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, who were engaged in Yizhou as diplomatic envoys, also attended the banquet. Because of Liu Zhang's statement on the first day, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
The heroes of Shuzhong raised their glasses to congratulate the Erliu Alliance, especially those representatives of the wealthy clans, they don't want to fight anymore, if Liu Zhang and Liu Cong join forces to resist Cao Cao, they don't have to run around, and live a peaceful and stable life. The plans are staggered, Liu Cong is also a person who does not refuse, and there is no royal family and general Zhengnan at all.
The so-called famous is not as good as meeting, although Liu Cong also took some thunderous measures when governing Jingzhou, but Liu Cong, who appeared at today's banquet, is a polite, gentle and elegant young man, an approachable general of Zhengnan, worthy of being a member of the royal family and a famous family.
But there are people who want to stand up and destroy this harmonious atmosphere, this time it is not those main battle factions, not those who resist Liu Cong's entry into Shu, but Zhang Song. Seeing that everyone had drunk fifty or sixty percent, Zhang Song got up and came to Liu Zhang: "Mingfu, today you and General Zhengnan will meet here, and Yizhou will be safe."
It's rare to be so happy today, why don't you come to cheer up, Song heard that General Zhengnan's command of General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong bravely crowned the three armies, and the closed disciple of the great martial artist Tong Yuan made a good gun, why don't you ask General Zhao to demonstrate it? ”
"Tong Yuan's closed disciple? That's about seeing and seeing. When Liu Zhang heard Zhang Song say this, he naturally remembered who Tong Yuan was. Tong Yuan, the word Xiongfu, is a master of martial arts. and Li Yan of Bingzhou are sworn brothers, both of them are under the tutelage of their father-in-law Yu Zhenzi, and the two are married to Yan Yun and Yan Yu, the two eldest ladies of the Yan family in Hebei. He is the father of Tong Fei.
Tong Yuan has three disciples, the eldest disciple is the "Gun Ancestor" Zhang Ren, the second disciple is the Wancheng Marquis "Beidi Gun King" Zhang Xiu, and in his later years, he accepted the closed disciples, that is, one of the five tiger generals, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the second fierce general in the world (the first is naturally Lu Bu). Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu both learned Tong Yuan's stunt "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear".
Zhang Xiu once defeated Cao Cao in Wancheng, Zhang Ren's brave Liu Zhang is even more aware of it, and when he sees Zhao Yun today, Liu Zhang naturally wants to see and understand. It's just that he didn't know that Zhao Yunwu was very talented, and on the basis of learning the "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear", he created his own "Seven Probes Snake Spear". Therefore, compared to the two senior brothers, Zhao Yun's martial arts are better.
Of course, Liu Zhang did not take the liberty of turning to Liu Cong. Ask Liu Cong's opinion. As soon as Liu Cong heard Zhang Song's idea, and then looked at the forensic evidence, he knew that this was to prepare a Hongmen banquet for Liu Zhang, and immediately had a gloomy face: "No, no, although Zilong is brave, but in the end he is still the same disciple of General Zhang, it is not surprising, and it is not appropriate to invite the heroes of Shuzhong to this banquet today." ”
Of course Liu Cong wanted to stop it, his opinion was positive and Zhao Yun's face was calm, and he understood a little in his heart, presumably these three people had planned it last night. If Liu Zhang was shot in front of so many people, Liu Cong's life would be even more difficult.
But when Liu Zhang heard it, he thought that Liu Cong was humble and said directly to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao doesn't mind letting me wait to open my eyes, right?" Zhao Yun was moved by Zhang Song's words last night, so he naturally agreed. When Liu Zhang saw Zhao Yun's refreshment, he smiled at Liu Cong and said, "Brother Xian, don't be too humble in front of fools......
Liu Cong was helpless, just smiled bitterly, and sent a hint to Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun didn't seem to have received the signal, so he stood up directly and didn't look at Liu Cong. Soon, a small soldier sent a spear and handed it to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun made a little preparation and waved it in the venue of the banquet.
is worthy of being the close disciple of the great martial artist, the junior disciple of the Gun Ancestor and the Gun King, Zhao Yun was applauded by everyone as soon as he made a move. These people grew up in troubled times, and it is not uncommon for them to be able to dance with guns and sticks, but compared to Zhao Yun, they are simply local chickens and dogs. Especially those representatives of the wealthy clans, they usually hide far away from a group fight or something like that, and it is even more rare to see such good marksmanship, and they are even more excited.
Only Liu Cong's face was depressed, but fortunately, he and Liu Zhang were sitting at the top, and they didn't want to leave Liu Zhang, if Zhao Yun really did something to Liu Zhang, he could still draw his sword to block it. But in this way, he naturally couldn't relax.
And Zhao Yun became more and more excited in the face of everyone's applause, but perhaps because he was afraid that Liu Cong would deter him, Zhao Yun always avoided Liu Cong's eyes intentionally or unintentionally. And every time he alternates his eyes with Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, he always takes a step forward and approaches Liu Zhang and Liu Cong.
At this time, Liu Zhang was completely unaware of the coming of danger, Zhao Yun was Liu Cong's subordinate, and Zhang Ren's junior brother, he was very relieved, watching Zhao Yun's wonderful performance, Liu Zhang even occasionally half-jokingly and half-reproachfully said to Liu Cong that he was hiding his secrets, Liu Cong just smiled bitterly, and then turned to Zhang Song and Fa Zheng angrily.
If you want to be nervous, the most nervous at this time is Zhang Ren, who did not attend the banquet, although Zhang Ren did not participate in the welcome banquet, he was very concerned about Liu Cong and the others' every move, and at this moment he was walking back and forth not far away. I was afraid that something would happen to the Jingzhou soldiers, and when the spies came to report that Zhang Song had asked Zhao Yun to dance a gun at the banquet, they immediately felt that something was wrong.
Zhang Ren immediately snatched the spear of the guard beside him, hurried to the banquet scene, and saw that Zhao Yun was no more than a foot away from Liu Zhang, so he shouted loudly: "Good marksmanship, I, Zhang Ren, also come to help!" ”
