Chapter 570: Fan Zeng Across the Nine Rivers (2)
Time flies, half an hour flies.
Fan Zeng and his party have finished washing and changed into neat clothes, and everyone looks energetic and in good spirits.
After all, after washing away the fatigue of a long journey, as well as the wind and dust, it will naturally change a lot.
Especially Xiang Zhuang and others, after they are all nobles, their own conditions are extremely good, so after a wash. Suddenly showed the instrument Yu Xuan.
Xiang Zhuang waved a few swords, smoothed his breath, and said to Fan Zeng, who was standing calmly: "Father, why does this Jiujiang Prime Minister want to hold a banquet in his mansion?" β
Although Xiang Zhuang is a military general, he is still clear about certain things. After all, he and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, were in Xiang Liang back then, and the education they received was the same.
Although he was reckless, the Xiang clan was a nobleman of the Chu State, and Xiang Zhuang still knew the etiquette that he should know.
At this time, the arrival of an envoy from one country, the first time in another country, is either in the post house or in the royal palace ceremony.
With the status of Fan Zeng, the father of Ya, as well as the kindness of Western Chu to Jiujiang and other countries, as well as the strength of Western Chu to dominate the world, King Yingbu of Jiujiang should treat Fan Zeng solemnly.
Therefore, this time to catch the wind and wash the dust, logically speaking, it should be on the main hall of the palace of King Yingbu of Jiujiang.
At this moment, Zhao Yan is already rude in a sense. Because of this, Xiang Zhuang asked.
"No problem!"
Fan Zeng's face did not change in the slightest, as if he couldn't hear the hidden meaning in Xiang Zhuang's tone, and the aura on the whole person did not change in the slightest.
As soon as the two words came out, no one talked to them all of a sudden, and they knew that with the cleverness of Ya Father Fan Zeng, they naturally knew the meaning in Xiang Zhuang's tone.
"Remember, this time we are here to fight Qin, and the old man believes that King Yingbu of Jiujiang knows the current situation in this world and will not mess around."
At this moment, Fan Zeng's eyebrows were extremely confident, and he knew that according to the back hand he left when he divided the kings before, this was the time to play a role.
Moreover, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin is in full swing, and the rise of the Great Qin Empire is too fast, which has made everyone in the world jealous.
And this jealousy of the Great Qin Empire and the Qin Emperor Hu Hai can just be used greatly, coupled with a three-inch tongue, it is enough to make the Shandong countries put aside their prejudices and condense into a rope.
The general trend of the Shandong states uniting to attack Qin, which once shocked the world, will be repeated in his hands.
β¦β¦
Fan Zeng and the others didn't wait long before they were picked up by the carriage in Zhao Yan's mansion.
This is the place where Zhao Yan has always been a guest, and it is impossible for ordinary people to set foot at all.
β¦β¦
The reception banquet was arranged in the main hall of the backyard house, although it was not very magnificent, but it also had a majestic atmosphere that belonged to the literati.
According to Fan Zeng's status and power, this banquet should have been held on top of the palace hall.
But if it was too late today, Jiujiang Wang Yingbu did not reveal such a meaning, even if Zhao Yan knew how to do it again, he had to do it.
Originally, Zhao Yan also wanted to behave neither humble nor arrogant in front of Fan Zeng, and wanted to set up the reception banquet in the post house, but the post house was too small, with only five bays and six entrances, and the side courtyard was full of other people, so it was inconvenient to receive the wind and wash the dust.
Although it is in the post house, it is a state affair, and you can mediate in advance and retreat, so that you can keep yourself innocent. But Zhao Yan knew that Fan Zeng was different from other envoys.
This messenger who is past the age of antiquity, stomped his feet, and the entire Central Plains will be shaken three times.
For the Central Plains, Jiujiang Kingdom is just a small land, and for Western Chu, Jiujiang Kingdom is only a very small vassal state.
Jiujiang Kingdom only has one county in Jiujiang, if it weren't for the fact that its king Yingbu is a famous energy, among the many Shandong countries, Jiujiang Kingdom is just an ordinary one.
And this time, the reason why Fan Zeng chose Jiujiang Country as the first was because of the ability of King Yingbu of Jiujiang to fight well, which was an indispensable part of Fan Zeng's layout.
At this time, whether it was Zhao Yan or Fan Zeng, both of them had plans to win each other over in their hearts, and because of this, there was extra harmony at the banquet for a while.
After entering the table, everyone looked different, and everyone had their own goals and plans, and they were thinking about the gains and losses from this banquet in their hearts.
In the hall at this moment, the four long cases have already been arranged, Fan Zeng has the highest status and the largest area, located in the center of the east, and Zhao Yan is opposite him.
At the same time, Xiang Zhuang, Wu She, and several people from Jiujiang Kingdom were seated on both sides, as a foil for this strange banquet, and for a while, the atmosphere was harmonious.
At this time, Zhao Yan, as the host, shouted at Fan Zeng and the others one by one, and said, "The Chu military division and all of you arrived today, just in time. Come, do a job first, and wash the dust for you! β
"!"
For a while, the bronze lord faced each other, and everyone drank it all. Even Fan Zeng, the father of the sub-father, was so old, but his alcohol consumption was not inferior to that of anyone present.
Chu people are good at drinking!
This is a well-known thing, even if Fan Zeng is so large, everyone doesn't think there is anything.
"Hey, this wine is so powerful!" Wu She, who was accustomed to drinking soft Chu wine, smacked his lips: "Could it be Qin wineββ? β
At this moment, Wu Shi was full of wine and shouted with a red face. He was only a strategist, not a sergeant, so much so that he was far inferior to the others.
And the strength of Qin wine is the first in the world.
This has long become the consensus of the people of the world, so as long as the wine is strong, the first thing that people in the world think of is Qin wine.
"This is not Qin wine, I didn't expect Zhao wine to be so cold." Fan Zeng is old after all, and when he goes down with a copper jue wine, he is also sweating on his forehead.
Zhao Qin's wine is like a nation, it is all extremely brave, even if it is Zhao wine, it also makes people feel hot.
Xiang Zhuang, who has long been accustomed to spirits, is very energetic at this time: "Good wine, good wine!" This wine and Qin wine can be called the best between, and it is the love of our hearts. β
Martial artists are good wine, especially good spirits, this has become the consensus between heaven and earth, so much so that when Xiang Zhuang said this, the others just smiled slightly and did not refute it.
At the same time, Zhao Yan at this time just smiled faintly, as if he was unaware of this strong Zhao wine, and said with a smile: "Today, I want to pay tribute to the first lord of the Chu military division, and the military division is a model for my generation." β
After that, Zhao Yan raised Fan Zeng in one fell swoop, and then raised the bronze jue and drank it all.
At this time, although everyone was tasting wine, it was not a confrontation, this was the confrontation between Zhao Yan and Fan Zeng, and it was also the confrontation between Jiujiang Kingdom and Western Chu.
