The snow in the Central Plains fell, the branches that had been backlogged for two nights could not stand the weight of the snow and fell, falling on the shoulders of the people who passed below, and the maid with warm water walked into the eaves, as the door was pushed open, the cold wind squeezed into the house, the flames in the copper furnace shook slightly, Fu Shou combed his hair in a bun, smiled at the face reflected in the bronze mirror, moistened his red lips, and could faintly hear the sound of talking in the side room not far away.

……

"Shang Shuling came here very early today, the king of Jin alone, in the court, and even in the entire Xu Capital City, many officials still have a lot of complaints in their hearts, but Shang Shuling is willing to be close, aren't you afraid that your colleagues in the past think you have no backbone? Don't stand, sit down and talk. ”

The copper furnace brought warmth, and Gongsun Zhi, who was lying behind the long case, sketched and wrote on the official document for a while, before he raised his head and looked at the opposite side, the scribe named Hua Xin bowed, and after saying 'yes', he lifted his robe and sat down carefully, "The King of Jin is honorable, he can't be an official, and it is reasonable to be invited to an official banquet, so how can he talk about it......" He smiled on his face: "Besides, Xinlai only admires a hero like King Jin." ”

"There are a lot of villains, and there is one in Shanggu County." Gongsun Zhi put down his pen and ink, picked up the official document and blew it to Li Ke next to him, and walked out of the long case with his hands, "...... However, Shang Shuling can come, and Gu is also happy in his heart, although Gu is a prince on horseback, but he still prefers literati, after all, it still depends on you to govern the world, let's put it bluntly, Shang Shuling can take the initiative to get close to Gu, which is very good......"

As he spoke, the door opened, and a big head with thick beards and thick eyebrows poked in: "King, the generals from the north and south sides of the front yard have come over one after another. At the same time as Gongsun Zhi nodded, the giant man closed the door and asked Xu Chu outside, "Who is that person inside?" ”

"I don't know."

"Rush into the palace often, don't you know one?"

Xu Chu shook his head angrily: "Why do you know?" If you kill them one day, won't you feel so uncomfortable that you don't know any of them. ”

At this time, the door also opened, the two retreated to both sides, Gongsun Zhi had already walked out wearing a big coat, walking in front with his hands, Hua Xin's figure followed closely behind, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Li Ke followed left and right with weapons, passing through the eaves, and the king of Jin who was walking in front continued the previous words: "..... Shangshu Ling can come has already made a good start for Lonely, and there will naturally be people behind." By the way, what about the uncle and nephew of the Xun family? Can it come today? ”

"When the king ceremonies, the two of them didn't come." Hua Xin followed half a step closely, "At this time, I'm afraid I won't come, although the uncle and nephew of the Xun family are former ministers of the King of Wei, their hearts are towards the Han family, and the king will undoubtedly make them feel uncomfortable...... King Jin, look, let Xin drive them away from the court. ”

Gongsun stopped and slowed down, Lang Yuan turned behind him, and was silent for a while, "Don't use it for the time being, first dismiss the official position, and move their families from Yecheng to Xudu." Tomorrow you will bring a lonely letter to your majesty to receive the will. Approaching the corner, his steps stopped, he turned to look at Hua Xin, who was bowing slightly, and reached out and patted the other party's shoulder a few times, "Since Shang Shuling is willing to stand on Lone's side, there is a reminder that you must do things with Lone's consent, if you mess up, something big will happen, understand?" ”

"I understand!" As soon as he finished saying this, he was slapped on the shoulder by a thick palm, and Hua Xin almost fell.

"It's good to understand, let's go to the banquet with loneliness."

Turning the corner, the courtyard wall and the corridor are slowly moving in the line of sight, and the noise from the front yard can already be heard at this time. In the morning, the large and small generals in the city gathered, the servants of the palace cleaned the main hall, arranged many seats, still not enough, it is worth arranging some more in the courtyard, and the position of Gongsun Zhi is special, he is not used to kneeling and sitting ceremony, and most of the stone chairs and stone benches are also sitting when he is a horse thief, so that the bright main hall, a colorful tiger skin chair is quite conspicuous in the first place.

In the early days, dozens of generals of the temporary Jin King's Mansion in this Cao Mansion had come, Pan Feng held two jars of wine left and right, and stepped into the threshold in a red and festive manner, and when he saw the generals of the Central Plains family, he cocked his chin and strode over with his chest straight, "Li Ke!" Come and receive the Benhou gift! ”

No one around paid attention to him, and Xiahoudun, who came in later, looked at the two jars of wine in his hand, snorted, sat down at a nearby table and chair, and slammed his fist on the table: "....... rely on luck to be a marquis." ”

Pan Feng put the two jars of wine on the table, straightened his big round waist, and subconsciously reached out to support the top of his head, but there was no horn helmet, he stared at Tianyun with his chin in his eyes, "I am under the command of the King of Jin, General Pan Feng, how can you know how powerful." Immediately, he raised his legs, stepped on the stool with one foot, and patted his chest, "During the Western Expedition, he broke through the army formation of the Great Qin Emperor with his military strength and almost cut off his head. ”

When he heard the 'one eye', Xiahou flapped the round table up, and roared with a hideous face: "I'll kill you-" While Pan Feng on the other side shrank back, Cao Chun had already run over and pulled the clan brother back: "That person is Pan Feng, a lucky general under the command of King Jin, with mediocre martial arts, but the person is not bad, brother, he is just unintentional, don't care too much......."

Around, Yan Rou, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Guo Yan, Xia Houlan, Wen Chou, Zhang He and a number of other northern generals stood up suddenly, and on the other side, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Yu Ban, Le Jin, and Xu Huang ...... Similarly, thirty or forty people stood up on the opposite side, and the two groups of generals suddenly became tense and looked at each other angrily.

After a while, Li Ke heard the movement and rushed towards the front yard first, and saw the figures of the faint confrontation on both sides, carrying maces, and shouting at them: "What are you doing standing there!" All spread out, spread out! ”

The shouting figure was the commander of the guards accompanying Gongsun Zhi left and right, and everyone basically knew that as soon as he came, the King of Jin should be about to arrive, so they sat down again. Li Ke approached Pan Feng, who was standing there with a big waist and a round waist, glanced at Xiahoudun, who was staring at him with one eye, turned his head and said: "That's Cao Cao's clan brother Xiahoudun, you can't kill him......" Then, he lowered his voice: "Do you want to help?" ”

Even though the last sentence was very small, Xiahoudun, who was just a few steps away, could still hear it, and pushed Cao Chun away: "...... See how I clean them up. ”

Li Ke and Pan Feng didn't seem to hear it, and the latter shook his head: "The two of us together bully each other, and they are also disabled, which is really inappropriate, and it also damages the prestige of the king." ”

Pushing Cao Chun, the one-eyed tiger who wanted to rush was even more furious, "Zi and you get out of the way, I'm going to tear that fat-headed and big-eared guy!! ”

"You can't beat him alone."

"That's not necessarily, you see that Ben Hou has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, intact, if you look at him again, you will know that Ben Hou can also break through at will with thousands of troops, even if it is Wenhou Lu ..... opposite."

At this time, a roll-call voice sounded at the door: "Wen Hou arrives-"

A majestic and tall figure walked in in regular clothes, followed by his wife and daughter and Lu Xun, Pan Feng hurriedly turned his head, and his words changed abruptly: "Even if there are more people on the other side, Ben Hou can come and go freely, go away, and drink." ”

"Yuan Rang hasn't seen him for so many years, and he is still so angry." Lu Bu, who strode over with his hands on his back, stopped beside Xiahoudun, "The world will be different in the future, it's time to change it." As he spoke, he gently lifted the round table that hung down on his toes.

With a bang, the heavy and thick table top was picked up and rearranged, and it trembled slightly. Xiahou was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Lu Bu, who had gray temples, had already left for the main hall. Cao Chun pushed him beside him: "Brother clan." ”

Xiahoudun waved his hand: "I'm fine, Zihe also go and sit down." He sat down and looked at the desktop in a daze for a long time, and when Xiahou Yuan came in from outside, he said softly: "Miaocai, is it really time to change your brother's temper?" ”

"Why did my brother say such things today?"

……

The main hall and the courtyard were noisy and lively, and Gongsun Zhi was dressed in a big hat, walked under the eaves in full costume, came from the backyard, the generals in the courtyard got up and gave their hands, and the Jin Dynasty pressed their hands in the past of the dragon leaping tiger, and then turned around and walked into the main hall, walked up to the first place in the figure and gaze, ripped off the cover and threw it to others, and sat down on the tiger skin chair.

The voices of the crowd also followed: "I have seen King Jin!" ”

"All sit down!"

When Gongsun stopped waving his hand, everyone sat back, he said with a smile: "As soon as the snow passed, the fire came up, and the voice of General Xiahou was heard from afar, and the end was majestic, everyone was a general on the battlefield, and it was normal for the fire in his heart to be greater than ordinary people, and Lone would not be held accountable, but today's New Year, don't talk about government affairs, don't talk about war, just eat and drink, and wait for the spring of the next year, if you want to be a marquis and worship the general, you have to seize the opportunity, and there are not many merits that can be made in this world." ”

The maids who passed the dishes came to the banquet one after another, but the more than 100 generals and officials inside and outside did not mean to move the long chopsticks, and in the quiet, Gongsun Zhi's voice sounded again.

"Gu Chu is in charge of the Central Plains, receiving the bequest of King Wei, how much makes people feel uncomfortable, even if there are any of you, Lone is not annoyed, after all, this is human nature, and the same is true of the estrangement between the North and the Central Plains.

The crowd didn't even dare to say it.

The first Gongsun Zhi picked up the wine, waved his empty hand, and said with a smile: "There is nothing that you dare not dare, as I said just now, human nature is not annoying..... The smile gradually retracted and cooled down: ".... Noisy and noisy in private, Lone will not care, but because of personal grudges and delay major events, Lone's knife never recognizes people, and the request is clearly placed here, do you agree with it? ”

"But according to the king's command—" In the hall and in the courtyard, everyone got up with their wine and drank together.

"Okay."

Gongsun Zhi stood up, held the bronze jue in both hands and turned around to the people around him, drank it all in a big gulp, and when the wine stains dripped down the tip of his beard, he waved his hand: "——Feast!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

As everyone shouted, there was a sudden uproar inside and outside the hall. Gongsun Zhi invited Lu Bu to drink at the same table, and after laughing for a while, the two of them walked up to the second floor, holding a drink and looking at the courtyard below through the fence, where a famous general was seated.

"When he first started out, his martial arts were not promoted, and he only had Gu Hou, and his sons and daughters were only more than 100 horse thieves, and he never thought that one day he would have such a grand scene."

"The world is impermanent, and a certain family never thought that it would be able to get to where it is today." Lu Bu took a sip of wine, looked at the thick clouds in the sky and was slightly distracted, "Speaking of which, when I was in Xiapi, every time I saw the White Gate Tower, I felt that I would die there......"

Gongsun Zhi glanced at him and laughed: "Hasn't Wen Hou died?" ”

"It's been ...... dead" Lu Bu was stunned, then laughed, and the short beard under his chin shook in the cold wind: "...... has also come back to life, and the sky is not thin!" After a moment, he saluted the bronze jue: "Come! For next year's war, for the future of the world, you and I are full of drink! ”

The heroic words came, Gongsun Zhi looked at every figure in the banquet below, staggered, the bonfire burned in the corners of the surroundings, Pan Feng squeezed to Xiahou Dun's side with a red face, and was swept away by the other party with one hand, and then cheekily pasted it; Dian Wei pulled Xu Chu to sit on the stone steps outside the hall with a jar of wine, not afraid of the cold drink, and when they were happy, the two took off their shirts and continued to fight with their arms exposed; The two naked men also led the only female general in the banquet to spit towards the door and turned her eyes, and saw her husband Junzheng and a person named Zhou Yu drawing something on the table, coughing dryly, Lu Xun hurriedly brought a bowl and let her drink it, and coughed even more.

"It's ...... wine"

“…… Got it wrong. ”

Zhou Yu watched the little couple fighting, remembered the woman waiting for him to go back at home, and sat down side by side with Sun Ce, who was drinking stuffy.

On the upper floor, Gongsun Zhi took the bronze jue to pay homage to the past.

"...... Drink wins!"

The light of the sky gradually fell to the west, the night was more quiet, with the advent of spring, the winter snow melted, the whole Central Plains gradually became noisy, the baggage collected by the states began to appear frequently on the official road, the cavalry of the message planted the order flag from Xuzhou to the two states, and constantly exchanged information in two months, and the smoke of the world will rise to the sky again when the temperature warms up.

Before that, a team that conquered Shu also set off for Jingzhou.

Pass through a place called Luofengpo.
