Chapter 684: Catch the wind and set up a banquet
(Vote, Tip, Subscribe!!) Don't stop!! )
Naturally, not everyone could participate in the banquet in the evening, because it was not a simple reception, and the things to be talked about were by no means as simple as lamenting Wei Wuji's hard work all the way.
Although he had been in Changping Pass for a while, now that time has passed, Wei Wuji's understanding of this place is still not so comprehensive.
Therefore, Wang Xiu gave Wei Wuji a make-up lesson during the period before the banquet, so that he had a better understanding of the current Changping camp.
To put it simply, the Changping camp is now roughly divided into three factions.
One of them is Xu Anhong's family, and there are three generals under his command, including Xu Guanxiao, a cavalry general.
The second faction is the clan line, which consists of four generals, including a cavalry general.
And the last third-party camp belongs to the neutral two generals. In fact, strictly speaking, they should be the Wei Hou family, led by the infantry general Tie Yan.
When night fell, someone came to inform Wei Wuji and invited him to the banquet.
The place where the banquet was held was in the main tent of the Chinese army, and only a few generals could participate in this reception.
And through the pawns who came to pass the word, Wei Wuji knew that there were only nine people attending the banquet today, plus himself.
Now that a lot of buildings have been added inside and outside Changping Pass, if Wei Wuji goes alone, he doesn't know how much time it will take.
When Wei Wuji stepped into the military tent, he found that there were already eight people inside, which meant that only he was missing.
Others can't blame Wei Wuji for coming slowly, after all, the higher the status, the last person should naturally appear.
Wei Wuji is now the only feudal monarch of Wei State, and he has a great reputation throughout the country, so he is naturally the most respected.
From this, it can also be seen that there is a hint of change, at the beginning, the family could do whatever they wanted to handle Wei Wuji, but now the situation has changed dramatically.
Wei Wuji can now calmly talk to the clan on his own, and he no longer needs Xu Anhong and others to wave their flags and shout.
For example, this time Wei Wuji transferred to the Changping camp, it was Wei Wuji who was alone in the dialogue with Wu'an, and finally succeeded.
Therefore, when they saw Wei Wuji enter the military tent, the eight generals who had already taken their seats all stood up and saluted.
Even the generals of the clan among them have done their best at this time. Although Wei Wuji is much calmer than he was at the beginning, his restrained edge is even more untouchable.
"You're here so early, but you've missed the deadline!" Wei Wuji said with a smile.
Missing the deadline is a word used in the army to express that the army has not arrived at the designated place within the time limit, and Wei Wuji used it here as a joke.
Although it wasn't very funny, and some people didn't want to laugh, everyone in the audience laughed without exception.
"Childe's words are very true, it is a big crime to miss the deadline in the army, and it is necessary to punish three glasses of wine!" Xu Guanxiao said with a smile.
After Wei Wuji glanced at it for a week, he roughly understood the distance between relatives and relatives, and then he said to Xu Guanxiao: "Three cups is three cups, I haven't drunk for a long time, and I won't get drunk today!" ”
Wei Wuji's words also made several generals present realize that the man in front of him was really no longer the high-flying and domineering young man he was at the beginning.
Wu Yangjun is Wu Yangjun, and he can't be treated as a junior anymore......
Wei Wuji sat down, and then everyone present took a look at the toilet, and at the same time, the soldiers filled the wine bowl in front of him.
Wei Wuji smiled and said, "Take two more nights, and if you say that you will be fined three cups, you will be punished with three cups!" ”
The soldiers did as they were told, and three wine bowls were immediately placed in front of Wei Wuji, and then they were all filled with fine wine.
Wei Wuji stood up, holding the first bowl of wine in his hand and said, "First night of wine, I wish our Changping camp can defeat the enemy, and all the kings will triumph as soon as possible!" ”
After that, Wei Wuji drank it all!
Then, he brought the second bowl of wine and said: "This second bowl of wine, to all the generals here, you are you who have guarded the western frontier of the Great Wei and protected my Great Wei country!" ”
Wei Wuji spoke freely, but there was something wrong with what everyone heard.
Protect me from Wei Jiangshan, Wei Wuji seems to be speaking on behalf of the office and on behalf of Wei Hou.
Although there is a problem, there is no problem, Wei Wuji is a person in the Wei State Office, so some dissatisfied people can only hold back.
After drinking the second bowl of wine, Wei Wuji picked up the third bowl of wine and said to Xu Anhong: "The third bowl of wine, respect to the old general!" ”
Just when everyone thought that Wei Wuji was going to drink it all, they heard him continue: "Wuji can have today, thanks to the support of the old general, Wuji is here to thank you!" ”
Although everyone took over the party, on this relatively public occasion, Wei Wuji directly thanked Xu Anhong, which made the scene cool down.
Is this to unite Xu Anhong to deal with his own side? Xiao Guiyuan, who was sitting at the bottom, secretly said in his heart that he had been at odds with Wei Wuji from the very beginning.
At this time, Xu Anhong didn't expect Wei Wuji to say this in the end, but at this time, he could only watch Wei Wuji drink the wine.
After three bowls of wine, Wei Wuji sat back in his place, and the hunger he still had disappeared.
Today it was Xu Anhong who was on behalf of the Changping camp to pick up Wei Wuji, so at this time, Xu Anhong also stood up, picked up the wine bowl and said to the next crowd: "Everyone, raise your glass!" ”
After all, it was the general of the Pillar State who was in charge of military affairs, no matter which camp he belonged to, he honestly picked up the wine bowl and stood up at this time.
Xu Anhong said to Wei Wuji at this time: "Gongzi has made outstanding achievements, and today he led the army to the Changping camp to help in the battle, I am grateful!" ”
"Old man and generals, respect Gongzi!"
After saying this, Xu Anhong also drank it all, and then the other generals also raised their heads and poured it violently.
This can be regarded as the opening, and the atmosphere that has just been cold and quiet is lively again, and then it is a personal respect.
Xu Guanxiao was the first to go, and the six generals after him also took turns to toast, Rao is Wei Wuji did not drink badly, and he was also dizzy after this circle.
And in this process, he also had a dialogue with the various generals present, and he knew everyone well.
There were originally nine generals in the Lingbei camp, and Xu Anhong had ten people, so two generals were not present tonight.
After many conversations, Wei Wuji learned that the two generals and their troops who were not present today were not stationed near Changping Pass.
These two people were stationed at the border between Chen County and Zheng State, guarding the Chu State across the river, so they could not come today.
What has to be interesting is that these two generals who are far away from the Changping camp are all from the same family.
It can be inferred from this that Xu Anhong arranged these two people there in order to better control the Changping camp.
After three rounds of drinking and chatting about many interesting things in the army, Wei Wuji asked: "I don't know what is the situation of the enemy army outside Changping Pass now?" ”
Although Wei Wuji also learned some about Wang Xiu, it was still not detailed enough, especially in terms of this kind of big picture.
Wei Wuji's question was answered by everyone present, but it was Xu Anhong who spoke in the end.
Xu Anhong said: "Now outside Changping Pass, there are mainly 60,000 troops of Chu and 30,000 troops of Qin!" ”
"If it is the entire Western Front, it also includes the 80,000 Qin troops who are now in Xiguan, and the 40,000 Chu troops in Zheng State!"
Wei Wuji simply converted, Xu Anhong meant that at present, in the entire Western Front war situation, the Qin and Chu armies have a total of 210,000 people, while the total strength of the Wei army plus Xiguan is only 140,000.
In other words, in the entire Western Front, 350,000 people fought again, and the scale was not small.
Although Xu Anhong was the commander-in-chief of the Western Front personally ordered by the Marquis of Wei, Wei Wuji also realized through this dinner that the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Western Front, Xu Anhong, were really like waving his arms, probably no more than 100,000.
After the first question was answered, Wei Wuji continued to ask: "Dare to ask the general, in the current situation, why did the war break out?" ”
This question is not easy to answer, and this is what Wei Wuji desperately wants to know, only war can make him stronger.
Xu Anhong was silent for a while before he said: "The current battle situation is scorching, and the pressure from above the enemy is very great, and it must be difficult to have a big war in a short period of time!" ”
Xu Anhong's words were also plausible, but the meaning he revealed made Wei Wuji unhappy.
It is difficult to have a big war now, so how does he Wei Wuji embody his sense of existence and how does he beat the Qin State?
With this in mind, Wei Wuji's mood at the banquet was much worse, and things became difficult.
