Originally, it was said that the bandit suppression was over, and all the Wenchen generals were recruited back to prepare for a change of defense, but unfortunately after coming back, they got the news of Gongsun Du's defeat, and there were some deviations in the original plan, so everyone needed to rest in Yecheng, and then wait for the order again.

That is to say, all the people who are busy all year round are suddenly idle, in fact, they are not idle, the people who should be busy are still very busy, and the idle people are still very idle, it can only be said that suddenly everyone gets together.

is the same as before, when Guan Yu was free, Gan Ning was busy, Zhao Yun was busy when Gan Ning was free, Zhang Fei was busy when Zhao Yun was free, Huaxiong was busy when Zhang Fei was free, and a group of people always couldn't get together.

This time, because of Gongsun Du's unexpected defeat, everyone got together, and there was no chance for a group of people to get together at a table before, but this time they can get together well.

After Liu Bei discovered this situation, he got the latest information from the north sent by Jia Xu, and it was snowing north of Youzhou, which means that Karasuma, East Xianbei, and Southern Xiongnu could not have gone south from Youzhou this year.

After getting the news, Liu Bei hesitated a little and decided to give everyone a holiday, and by the way, he sent someone to send a bunch of treasures to Liu Xie in Chang'an.

Later, Liu Bei brought Lu Su and carefully inquired about the current situation under his rule, and determined that it would take more than a year of cultivation and adjustment to reach the level that Chen Xi wanted under his rule, so he was no longer in a hurry to expand, and turned to steadily transform Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou.

What Chen Xi did the most during this time was to eat and drink with people, and there were really not many times when the group of people under Liu Bei's command gathered.

After Liu Bei invited everyone to a collective meal, everyone else also began to enter the stage of inviting guests to dinner. At the beginning, Chen Xi still had the momentum of not refusing to come, but after eating for five days, Chen Xi was a little bad.

Of course, the civil service reached the sixth day. There is only rookie Xu Shu who doesn't care about eating and drinking at all, and everyone else is a little bad. As for the generals, they don't care at all, Xu Chu and those people don't pull every meal, and after eating, they start to gather people to fight, hand-to-hand combat, weapon warfare, and horse fighting, this group of people is not stunned at all.

When the interest came, I ate and fought, and I felt that in this kind of eating, drinking, and fighting, the atmosphere of the Mid-Year Festival gradually appeared. It's completely different from the feeling of being busy during the New Year in previous years.

"Zichuan, in the evening, Ziyi and Uncle will come to their reception banquet, do you want to go!" Zhang Fei yelled outside Chen Xi's courtyard.

Then he rushed in without waiting for Chen Xi to answer, and then saw Chen Xi lying lazily on the recliner, with a bear skin under him and a blanket on his body.

"Go. I definitely want to go~" Chen Xi slowly put down the book, like a little old man, moving slowly.

Before, Chen Xi also followed a group of people to greet Tai Shici and Chen until they came back, how could they not participate in such a thing as the reception banquet. Even if the food is a little uncomfortable these days, you need to participate at that time, but it's a pity that Zhuge Liang hasn't come back yet.

"Then you're still lying here. What about my eldest niece? Zhang Fei said excitedly, with a smile on his face.

"There's no one here. Don't try to take advantage of me. Chen Xi sat up slowly, he didn't want to talk to Zhang Feiqiang. The other party belongs to the typical example of ignoring the voice height, and if you are not careful, you will be embarrassed, and the voice height is really an awe-inspiring talent.

"Who says it isn't!" Zhang Fei pressed his hand on Chen Xi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhang will soon become my old Zhang's sister-in-law." ”

"Okay." Chen Xi said helplessly, the reason for the current warm atmosphere in Yecheng is not only the gradual return of these civil and military ministers, but also because Liu Bei is going to marry Zhang, and the wedding date is scheduled for July next year.

Although the Zhang family is remarried, it seems that at this time, it does not seem to pay attention to these, and the Zhang family is as Liu Bei's wife, and there can be no mistakes in etiquette, so it is still the courtesy of the princes for half a year.

"How are you doing with her?" Zhang Fei squeezed his eyes and laughed.

"That's it." Chen Xi said calmly, at least with Zhang Fei's ability, it is impossible to see the slightest heart from Chen Xi's face.

"How are you preparing, you will go to Liaodong as a commander in February next year, you must know that now because of the heavy snow road closure, the Hu people have no way to go south, but when the winter snow is a little darker, the hungry and cold Hu people will definitely go south." Chen Xi didn't wait for Zhang Fei to continue laughing, and his words stabbed Zhang Fei to the point.

Zhang Fei opened his mouth and was just about to continue laughing, hoping to break Chen Xi's pampered expression, but his festive face was obviously a little unsure of what to say after Chen Xi hit the point, and after a long time, it turned into a long sigh.

"You shouldn't be unprepared." Chen Xi looked at Zhang Fei and frowned.

"What do I have to prepare, when the time comes, I will listen to Yuan Zhi and fight how I want." Zhang Fei said angrily, it seems that he is ready to take Xu Shu as the mainstay.

"I recommended you to Xuan Degong as the commander, but I didn't want you to do this kind of thing, if you just listen to Yuan Zhi's command, I can do it with any person, what do you want to do?" Chen Xi said dissatisfiedly, "Don't you still understand what Xuande Gong and us mean?" You are the commander-in-chief, the lord of an army! ”

Zhang Fei was silent, then sat casually on the steps in front of Chen Xi's house, looked at the door in front of him and said slowly, "I am completely different from the second brother, the second brother was originally just a fierce general like me, but he has time to watch the art of war, and he has read it no less than thirty times in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is constantly getting stronger." ”

"You can too, what General Guan can do, can't you do? He has watched the Spring and Autumn Period thirty times, but you won't read Sun Tzu's Art of War fifty times. Chen Xi squatted down and said after being almost level with Zhang Fei.

"The second brother told me that he has different feelings every time he watches the Spring and Autumn Period, but I still have the same feeling after watching it many times, and I have also watched the Art of War, and there is no special feeling at all." Zhang Fei said with a wry smile, "Probably I'm completely unsuitable to be a commander of a large army. ”

"Oh, not necessarily, some people started with military books, and some people don't read military books at all, maybe you are the latter." Chen Xi said with a smile.

"Throughout the ages, where someone can become a commander without reading a military book." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

"Isn't that the case with the Xianhan Huo Hussar?" Chen Xi said with a smile.

Zhang Fei may not know this kind of thing, but those who have read the historical records basically know what Huo Quzhi said to Liu Che - "Gu Fanglu is like an ear, and he will not learn the ancient art of war."

The meaning of these words is estimated to be clear without saying much, maybe it is arrogant for others to say it, but it is quite subversive to say it from the mouth of a famous general who has won all battles. (To be continued......)
