Gongsun Xun did what he said, and in the evening of the same day, as Lu Fan, Wang Xiu and others moved the headquarters camp to the bank of Qishui, and many generals who crossed the river to chase Bocai also turned around, this general with five facial features was really going to hold a banquet on the riverside to reward the whole army.

In all fairness, it's dangerous.

Because if there are fierce people like Sun Jian in the Yellow Turban Army, and there are talented people like Jubei who have both strategy and determination, maybe they will be able to see the opportunity to gather defeated troops to cross the river, a counterattack, a black tiger to dig out the heart, and turn defeat into victory!

But it's a pity that the Yellow Turban Army is destined to have this kind of talent, at least the Yingchuan Yellow Turban doesn't have ...... If so, how did it end up like this?

In fact, before the banquet began, Gongsun Xun was about to deal with another important incident about the Yingchuan Yellow Turban.

The sun overhead was as hot as the previous two days, and even if dusk was approaching, it was still unbearably hot.

However, in the hastily built temporary barracks, many of the officers of Gongsun Xun's department who had just returned gathered in a group regardless of the heat, and it was not until Gongsun Xun paced in a hurry that they each made their own noises and retreated one after another.

"You're Bocai?" Gongsun Xun wore a crown of cranes, a broken blade at his waist, and a brocade cloak, and bowed his head to the man on the ground surrounded by a group of generals and asked.

This person was tall, and although he was tightly bound, he was still carefully guarded and suppressed by several armor soldiers, and only then did he raise his head when he heard the voice, but unexpectedly showed a face that was younger than he imagined under the half-pulled hair of the fire.

"How old are you?" Seeing this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help frowning and asked again, and instructed the soldiers to retreat slightly. "And let go of him slightly."

When several armor soldiers heard this, they took two steps back, but they were still pulling the rope in their hands, and Bo Cai straightened up on the ground and replied proudly: "I am Bo Cai, thirty-two years old this Chinese New Year's Eve!" ”

Seeing that the other party's eyes were bloodshot, and there were also a lot of stains condensed by black and gray blood stains on his face, Gongsun Xun shook his head with rare emotion: "The dignified Yingchuan Yellow Turban Qu is handsome, is he only four years older than me?" Why should a good youth be a thief, so that he ends up like this?! ”

"What's there to shake your head about?" Bo Cai's eyes were bloodshot, and the black and gray blood stains on his face were congealed, and he actually laughed on the spot when he heard this. "You can be a Taishou at the age of twenty-eight, a general, or a marquis, but I can't be a Qu Shuai at the age of thirty-two? If it weren't for the defeat, I would still want to enter Luoyang, slaughter the son of heaven of the Liu family, and let my great virtuous teacher be the son of heaven, and I will be a general! ”

There was an uproar around, and some people even directly drew their knives and held spears, but seeing that Gongsun Xun silently did not answer, he calmed down again.

"I ask you, would you like to surrender?" Gongsun Xun saw that there were more and more acquaintances around him, and even Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song also attracted people to watch here, but after all, he asked this sentence after a moment of silence.

"Are you joking?" When Bo Cai heard this, he immediately sneered.

Fu Xie, who had just arrived here with Huangfu Song, immediately persuaded him: "Prince, before Luozhong Shangshutai and Huangmen Jian discussed in the palace the pardon of the local commanders, and although there was no express will at that time, His Majesty and the princes did not forgive...... You should know that, too. ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding generals frowned, but Gongsun Xun only glanced at his little junior brother, but did not answer.

However, unexpectedly, Huangfu Song paced forward from behind at this time and relieved the siege: "Nanrong is wrong, and the generals will not be subject to foreign military orders...... What His Majesty and the central princes really care about is whether the place in front of Yingchuan can be cleared, and now the situation, if Bocai is willing to surrender, then the remaining cities and tens of thousands of deserters in Yingchuan will not need to spend time and strength to sweep away, and then Yingchuan will be quickly flattened, and the Son of Heaven will only be happy. ”

"Not bad." Even Zhu Jun, who had always been rigid, also sighed at this time, and then said in the back. "If Yingchuan can be pacified quickly, the center will only be happy...... It's just Bocai, are you willing to descend? ”

"If that's the case, I can't even go down!" Bo Cai listened for a long time, but at this time he simply responded. "I just want to die, if I can cause some more trouble with you, why not do it?!"

Zhu Jun sneered, and immediately pulled out his knife, but was stopped by Huangfu Song turning his head with a look, and the former sneered, but simply put away the knife and stopped silently.

In other words, although Gongsun Xun sent people to arrest Bocai and take Yang Zhai, it was a trick, and there was some deliberate arrogance. But no matter what, the credit of 60,000 to 100,000 in this war was still given to him Zhu Jun to atone for his sins. Therefore, for Zhu Jun, the right Zhonglang general, this kindness has not changed in essence, so no matter what, it is not good for him to cross Gongsun Xun at this time to dispose of other people's prisoners.

"Bocai." Sure enough, Gongsun Xun held his hand and slowly persuaded with a broken blade. "The two armies are facing each other, and the casualties are very heavy, and it is natural for you to hate us...... However, now that the battle situation in Yingchuan has been decided, it will only take time and effort for us to fight again, but for the remnants of your Yellow Turban Thieves, it is necessary to take your life! Therefore, I have not asked you to surrender because I have not valued your life alone, but what use is your life to me? You're just waiting for the battle here, so what about killing yourself and seeking mercy? What I hope is that you still have a little conscience, and you care about the lives of the tens of thousands of Yingchuan children who escaped, that's all! ”

Bo Cai was silent for a moment, but he still lowered his head and laughed: "It's just that you can deceive the people below with these words, why lie to me?" Since we have rebelled, in the eyes of your officers and soldiers, we are moths and thieves and rebels, how can we really spare our lives? Now they say that they will not kill us, but they are afraid that the slaughter will be too much, which will cause the tens of thousands of remnants of soldiers who escaped to be afraid and resist desperately. When Yingchuan is taken by you, 100,000 children, I'm afraid we will meet again and again in Huangquan, right?! ”

Gongsun Xun was speechless...... Because he had experienced the destruction of the Yellow Turban in Dongjun, he knew that even if he made a promise, these people would never believe his words. In other words, in the eyes of these rebels, he is not a credible person in himself.

Not to mention, Yingchuan is on the edge of Luoyang, and there are two Zhonglang generals here, and he may not be able to guarantee the safety of those surrendered troops.

"Nothing to say, huh?" Bo Cai raised his head and sneered.

"Then you're speechless, are you?" Gongsun Xun was awe-inspiring.

Bocai sighed, but shook his head again: "Two more words." ”

"You say."

"I know that after you kill me, you will definitely hang my head and go to the surviving cities of the Yellow Turban Army in various places to display it in order to intimidate and force landing...... If there are surrenderers, please tell them after they surrender that I, Bocai, did not steal my life, but took the initiative to die! ”

"It doesn't hurt to say this after surrendering." Gongsun Xun, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, said disapprovingly. "If our ministry were to do this, it would definitely be like this."

"And." Bocai continued to raise his head on the ground and shouted. "Yesterday, my Yellow Turban Army lost tens of thousands of children, and it is hot in summer, so you will definitely burn it as soon as possible to prevent the plague, right?"

"It's nature."

"Then please tell their corpses when you burn them, and let them go down to the Yellow Spring to find me!" In the middle of his words, Bo Cai's face suddenly became hideous, and his voice suddenly became fierce, causing the armor soldiers holding the rope to pull tightly one after another. "When I get to the spring, I must be ashamed and brave...... If you can still gather 100,000 ghosts, you will definitely be able to cut off the head of the king of Youdu and set up a yellow flag in Youdu! At that time, they will live up to them, and they will not live up to the great sages......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, the surrounding generals changed color.

Among them, some people, such as those officers from the Northern Army, were mostly terrified; Some people such as Lu Fan, Dong Zhao, Wang Xiu, Guan Yu, Li Jin, and Le Jin are purely surprised; And some people, such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Gao Shun, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Zhao Zhao, Yang Kai, Chu Yan and others, although their faces are different, they have their own knives in their hands.

But how could Gongsun Xun let Bo Cai finish saying such a thing? How can you let someone else do it?

He personally drew his knife and stepped forward, grabbed the other man's hair with one hand, and waved the broken blade with the other...... The broken blade sharpens the iron like clay, and the head is like cutting the silk, and the head of the person is directly removed with just one knife.

The 100,000 Yellow Turban Commanders, who were still making a sound one moment ago, did not make a sound the next moment.

As the sun sets, everything is silent for a while.

"I didn't expect this thief to be so vigorous." Gongsun Xun threw away his head and handed the knife to Chu Yan, who was the first to rush to his side, but he was sullen when he looked at the robe on his arm that was splashed with blood. "I saw just now that Qishui is mostly corpses, and it hasn't been cleaned at this time, so I'm afraid it's not easy to wash, do you want to wear this robe to the banquet? You shouldn't have been in a hurry to deal with this before the feast. ”

"The general drinks blood at night, doesn't it add to the momentum?" Huangfu Song Zhengse persuaded. "Why should Wen Qi be worried?"

Gongsun Xun took the broken blade that had been wiped by Chu Yan with his sleeve and rematched it, and then smiled again and said, "What, are Huangfu and Zhu Gong also coming to my camp for a night banquet?" You are here, I am afraid that the generals and colonels of the army will be uneasy, and it is not good to feast and drink recklessly. ”

Zhu Jun was a little awake: "No wonder you only invited Sun Wentai of our department and Fu Sima under the command of Huangfu Gong before, I thought Wen Qi didn't look down on the two of us...... Now it seems that they are all young talents, am I really old? ”

Huangfu Song also lowered his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then shook his head.

"That's so." Gongsun Xun flicked down his sleeves. "Instead, we must invite the two generals into the room to drink three cups, otherwise wouldn't it be said that we young people don't understand etiquette?"

Zhu Jun couldn't help laughing, even Huangfu Song was indispensable.

So, everyone no longer paid attention to the corpses on the ground, and Gongsun Xun also ignored the blood stains under his armpits, and everyone went to a high platform near the river in the back camp under the leadership of Lu Fan...... Sure enough, the wine and meat have already been prepared here.

The sunset sank quickly, and a lot of braziers and torches were quickly lit around, and the firelight was reflected in the Qi water under the high platform...... The army was in a hurry, the evening breeze near the river was sassy, and the wine and banquet were set up in the gap to avoid the harm, which actually had a lot of taste.

Gongsun Xun is the master of this camp, so he sat on the main seat, and the two Zhonglang generals sat together in the top position on the west side, and the rest of the people also sat down according to their ranks and official ranks.

"It's a pity!" Under the firelight, Gongsun Xun raised his glass and got up, just about to speak, but suddenly his heart moved, and he turned to an incomprehensible word.

"What do you say about pity?" Sun Jian asked. "Under such a big victory, it is rare for heroes to gather, let's drink and drink, where is the pity?"

"It's a pity that Haojie is here!" Gongsun Xun raised his glass and sighed. "It's a pity that Brother Meng De crossed the river to pursue too deeply, and he doesn't know when he will come back; It's also a pity that my brother Sun Bogui saw that he was in Hebei, and he followed my teacher Lu Gong to fight against Zhang Jiao; It's a pity that there is an old friend who is called Lu Bu Lu Fengxian is also there...... If these three people are also here, this banquet can be called a group of heroes! ”

"Are you talking about me?" As soon as the words fell, someone suddenly laughed in response from the audience, and the voice came from far and near. "I heard that Liu Xuande has won Bocai...... In vain, Yuan Rang and I worked hard to chase for dozens of miles, and ran back for dozens of miles...... However, after returning to the camp, I heard that there was a banquet, and it finally didn't let me Cao Cao work hard for this day...... Come on, come on, where will the heroes be? Can you eat and drink without me?! ”

After saying this, Cao Cao was really covered in dust and appeared in front of everyone with Xiahoudun.

Gongsun Xun raised his glass and laughed: "Since Brother Meng De is here...... Then it doesn't matter if my brother Sun Zan and Lu Fengxian are not there, this banquet is indeed an authentic group of heroes! But Brother Meng De, since you're late, you have to show it, right?! ”

"I'll punish myself with three cups!" Cao Cao shook his head, not caring at all, as if he was a veteran of the wine field.

"No, you can't!" Gongsun Xun still raised his glass and said awe-inspiringly. "Dance for all the kings!"

Everyone burst into laughter and asked Cao Cao to dance...... In these years, it is the norm for the banquet drinkers to sing and dance in person, don't forget that Cai Yong, the old man, offended people because others danced to him during the banquet and did not respond.

In fact, Cao Mengde did not refuse, but directly drew his sword and said with a smile: "Husband Zhihuai Shuangxue, since I am late, what about a sword dance for all the monarchs?" Is there just a dance and no song? Who's going to sing a song for me? ”

Cao Cao's intention was originally to ask Gongsun Xun to make peace with him...... This is really the norm of feasting and drinking these days.

However, Gongsun Xun raised his glass and looked around, and then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at a person: "Xuande, the people present today, count you as the most meritorious, and you studied in Qishi Mountain that day, you are also used to drinking, so you will sing a song for Brother Mengde!" ”

Although Liu Bei has said little since his mother's death, he has made great achievements today, and his future is in sight, and he is really excited, so he immediately got up to answer.

"Stay!" At this moment, one of the people in the seat also got up and said. "One person sword dance, not enough fun, today to see all the heroes, and by the white horse general to boast, Jian is also willing to hold a sword to dance, to belong to the facial features of the general!"

Gongsun Xun sat down, took a few shots, didn't say anything about the wine, and almost laughed out of tears: "Then ask Cao Sun and Liu to sing and dance for me, the master!" ”

Naturally, everyone had nothing to say...... And after Liu Bei thought about it a little there, and thought of a few lyrics like the common tunes in the old banquets, the banquet was also held immediately.

"Wait!" Gongsun Xun looked at Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song who were sitting there, and then looked at Fu Xie, who was a little old-fashioned with an unswerving face, and then suddenly remembered something, but he also pulled out his saber that had just killed someone. "Where is the virtue?"

Cheng Pu hurriedly came out of the queue when he heard this.

"Today's banquet and drink, only talk about the wind and moon, not talk about the military, everything is not taboo, be sure to drink presumptuously! You hold my sword, and then move my scepter behind you, for this feast and wine order, and those who dare to talk about etiquette and military affairs will be killed! After that, Gongsun Xun handed the saber to the other party, and then flicked his blood-stained sleeves again, and smiled proudly at Cao Sun and Liu, who had been prepared in Taichung. The three of you start quickly, don't miss everyone's interest! ”

Everyone held their voices for a while, waiting for the sword dance.
