Chapter 45: Wine is intoxicating

The smell of the wind and snow has not stopped for a while.

Inside the tent, the wine was half-drunk, and everyone seemed to be confused in the alcohol. Zhao people are good at drinking, even in the army, they are very popular. Later, Zhao Yong ordered a ban on alcohol in the army and killed two clan generals who openly took the lead in drinking, which stopped this trend.

It's just that today, there is something special.

"Old general, I invited the general for a banquet today, but I actually need the general's help with something." Zhao Hao said to Han Yang while carrying the wine jug to pour wine for Han Yang. Although Han Yang drank a lot, he was still conscious, and when he heard that Zhao Hao had something to ask for, he suddenly raised his spirit, and his eyes flashed.

"It's not a secret, I returned to Handan this time to change my guard."

"Changing guards?" Han Yang looked at Zhao Hao suspiciously.

"Wang Ling, winter is approaching, the weather is extremely cold, and I learned that the Hu people will attack the border, so for this reason, I will change the guard with the border generals, and estimate that the time will be within these two days."

Han Yang squinted, carefully thinking about the authenticity of Zhao Hao's words. If it is true, then there is nothing but if it is false

"Since it's a change of guard, why are you in such a hurry?" Han Yang asked casually.

"There's no way, the Hu people are hungry too." Zhao Hao snorted, "It is estimated that it will be in the next day or two." It is said that it should be today, presumably because of the heavy snowfall, which will delay for some time. Zhao Hao said with a big grin, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Your army changes its defense, with the agreement between you and me, the general can just inform you, why bother to put on a banquet and spend so much?" Han Yang smiled, as if he was joking.

"Hey, the general's words are wrong." Zhao Hao waved his hand, "Not to mention that this matter is the agreement between you and me, we must inform each other to prevent misunderstandings, just the friendship between you and me, and set up a banquet as a farewell wine, it is also appropriate." "When South Korea and Zhao negotiated on the matter of Yewang, it was indeed agreed that South Korea would be responsible for the defense of the city gate, and that when the two sides changed the commander-in-chief of the garrison, they should inform each other.

Han Yang chewed Zhao Hao's words again and again, but he didn't find anything abnormal. It's just that now that the relationship between Han and Zhao is tense, Zhao is about to change his guard, which seems to be a bit too coincidental.

"This is a trivial matter, and it doesn't hurt to arrange it like this." Han Yang twisted his beard, "It's just that changing guards at this time seems to be a little abnormal." ”

Pang Xuan was kneeling under Zhao Hao at the moment, although he was drinking with his colleagues, he was actually paying close attention to the situation of the first two. Zhao Hao told him that if the situation changed, let him do the camera. Even if he drinks and laughs, his hand is not far from the sword, and he can burst out and hurt people at any time.

He was lowering his head to pour wine, and when he heard Han Yang say that the change of guard was abnormal, his hand shook, and the wine was spilled outside the glass. Immediately forced himself to stabilize his mind, put down the flask, but his hand involuntarily moved to the saber next to him.

"No way." Zhao Hao also looked "regretful": "The weather is getting cold, and the Hu people have begun to graze without grassland again." The Huns also began to assemble south, preparing to attack the border. If you don't prepare early, I'm afraid that Daijun will become a ruined land. As he spoke, he poured another glass of wine for Han Yang, "Although the kid is immature, he knows how to charge into battle when he leads the troops, and he can only command the cavalry." I can only receive this errand, take advantage of my young age, accumulate some military exploits, and be a good wife. Zhao Hao leaned over Han Yang's ear and whispered, "You also know that it is too difficult to get a hereditary position now. The wild king is peaceful, how can he make meritorious contributions? It's better to go to the border for a chance. As he spoke, he laughed, "Besides, this is an order from the king, how can you not obey it?" ”

As soon as Zhao Hao said this, everyone laughed. Although the generals are not subject to military orders abroad, it is a military operation that is urgent and subordinate, and who dares not to obey military orders and dispatches on weekdays?

After Zhao Hao's joke, the atmosphere of the whole banquet also relaxed. Although Han Yang still has some doubts, this is a matter discussed by the two families, and it is the internal affairs of Zhao, and he has no right to interfere, so he just wants Zhao Jun to enter the city, and he doesn't have to worry about anything. So in the presence of the people, he commanded to go down.

Zhao Hao saw that the dust had settled, and a big stone in his heart was put down. He picked up the wine glass and gave Pang Xuan a look while everyone was not paying attention. Pang Xuan understood, quietly left, came to the outside of the tent, and told the messenger who had been waiting there for a long time, and ordered him to leave the city through the waterway immediately. Even though the snow was heavy and the river was bitterly cold, the messenger could only endure the cold and jump into the water, and while the defenders were warming themselves in the house, he went out of the city without entering the waterway, found the horses he had hidden long ago, and ran into the night.

There was another push and shoving, everyone was obviously drunk, Han Yang couldn't speak clearly, and his steps were a little vain. Xu Li observed for a long time behind the tent, and then handed a look to the pawn holding the wine jug behind him, and the soldier comprehended it, and carefully carried the wine jug to Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao and Han Yang had a good conversation, and when they saw someone bringing wine, they inadvertently glanced at it, and while no one was paying attention, the pawn's index finger clicked the wine jug intentionally or unintentionally, and looked up at Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao understood, picked up the wine jug, and said to Han Yang with a big tongue: "Come on, come on, the kid will fill this cup to the old general again!" ”

Han Yang waved his hand again and again, "Today is already fun, he will drink again every day, he will drink again every day!" As he spoke, he got up and left. Zhao Hao grabbed his arm and got up, "The old general should be strong, how can he be the one who easily surrenders." What's more, if you leave this wild king city in a few days, if you can't drink with the general, wouldn't you regret it? ”

Han Yang didn't feel cheating, he did feel that he was already a little drunk, and when he stood up, he staggered and couldn't drink anymore. It was to push and shove with Zhao Hao. Seeing this, Pang Xuan stepped forward with the wine, filled Han Yang's wine glass, and said with a smile: "General, the kid hasn't toasted today, isn't it a big disrespect to you?" ”

Han Yang knew that Pang Xuan was Pang Cong's son, and he also appreciated him, and privately thought that Zhao Guo had more and more young generals in the past two years, and they were all good generals, and these two people were the best among them. Seeing this kid toasting to himself, Zhao Hao tried his best to persuade him, so he had to say: "Let's go, just this glass?" ”

"Just one drink." Pang Xuan nodded in response.

Han Yang no longer shirked and drank it all. immediately got up and was about to leave, and everyone no longer obstructed, Zhao Hao, Pang Xuan and others went out of the big tent one after another to send each other. A few people pushed and shoved again, Han Yang felt a little awake just now, but he was a little groggy at the moment. Seeing this, the adjutant general next to him hurriedly held his arms.

"It seems that General Han is indeed drunk. Be careful, if not, stay in our army for the night. Zhao Hao's face was slightly red, and he said warmly.

Han Yang naturally wouldn't agree to this, he struggled to get up and say goodbye to Zhao Hao, but he couldn't stand up anyway. I just feel dizzy and speechless, so I can only be at the mercy of others.

"Thank you General Zhao for your kindness, but this matter is indeed not in accordance with the regulations. Fortunately, it's not a long way, so I'll just be careful. Han Yang's lieutenant said that he also felt that Han Yang was really drunk.

"It's something abrupt." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "In this case, please leave it to you." The Korean people and Zhao Hao said goodbye and wanted to go.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from the empty avenue, and the sound became more and more urgent. Everyone was stunned, not knowing what was going on. The Korean generals looked at the galloping horses, and they were all stunned in place, and the scene was a little silent for a while. Zhao Hao was determined: Finally arrived,

In fact, Qiu Li's army had already appeared in the nearby mountain col yesterday and sent a soldier to report it. Zhao Hao set up this banquet at this time, the purpose was to let Han Yang and the Korean generals know that Zhao Jun was about to enter the city.

He stole a glance at Xu Li behind him, who nodded and quietly turned to leave.

The knight on the horse had good riding skills, and when he saw everyone, he immediately jumped off his horse, ran to the Korean lieutenant general, and reported: "General, there is a team of Zhao Guoshi soldiers knocking on the door outside the door, saying that it is a change of defense force from Handan, and they need to enter the city to see General Zhao Haozhao." ”

When everyone heard that it was Zhao Guo's change of defense force, they were relieved. Zhao Hao laughed and said loudly: "It should be my change of defense force that has arrived." It's been these two days, and I don't know why it's only here now. Saying that, he took two steps forward, walked to Han Yang's lieutenant general, and asked: "General Han also agreed to let my army enter the city just now, I don't know if the general can open the door and let him enter the city at this moment?" ”

Pang Xuan knew that things had reached the most critical step, and success or failure was in one fell swoop. He was vaguely unable to let go, and quietly stood next to Zhao Hao, waiting for Zhao Hao's signal. Once Zhao Hao is in trouble, he must snatch Han Yang from the other party in one fell swoop and let the other party throw a rat trap.

"This" The deputy general looked at Han Yang, who had fainted, thought for a while, and replied coldly: "It is said that General Han has already ordered this matter, and it is not impossible for me to let your troops enter the city at this moment." "However, if it is dark today, it seems that it is not in accordance with the rules to enter the city at this time." ”

Pang Xuan slowly touched his hand to the sword, his eyes staring at the lieutenant general.

Zhao Hao frowned, quite embarrassed: "But it snows heavily tonight, if our army can't enter the city and sleeps outside the city, I feel uneasy." Zhao Hao said, "Since the other party is changing guards, and he will still be the commander of Zhao in this wild king city in the future, if there is a discord with you because of this, I am afraid that the situation between our two countries will not be favorable." ”

The deputy general was a little hesitant, he didn't think that Zhao Guo was cheating, but if he let the other party enter the city, if he didn't let the rules go, the two countries were currently in the same situation, and if it was worse because of this matter

Everyone was looking at him, and perhaps only Han Yang, who had fainted, couldn't understand his mood at the moment. After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind, "Otherwise, the last general can give an order to temporarily let the general and his own army enter the city first, but the rest of the troops can only camp outside the city for a night, and they can enter the city early tomorrow morning." Can? ”

Zhao Hao frowned, "Only like this?" Can't be accommodating? ”

"The lord can't give an order, the last general can only do this, and I ask General Zhao to forgive me."

Zhao Hao lowered his head and thought for a while, so he had to smile bitterly and shake his head, "That's it, it's come to this, and it can only be like this." He turned to look at Pang Xuan, "Captain Pang, I will leave this matter to you, or go and make peace with General Qiu in person." As he spoke, he patted Pang Xuan's shoulder and said casually: "The rest will be left to you." ”

Pang Xuan understood and nodded heavily, "General rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to his mission." ”11
