Chapter 50: Wine Without Good Wine, Banquet Without Good Feast (I)
Xincai County, Runan County.
Liu Bei and his entourage took a boat from Ancheng all the way south, and then returned to the sphere of influence of Xincai County.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Liu Bei secretly sneaked back to the garrison, and even made a plan with Liu Hui and others that night, in order to plot the 3,000 elite soldiers under the command of Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao.
During the days when Liu Bei disappeared, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao never saw Liu Bei himself, and they had friction with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others many times.
And the two of them went to Liu Bei's Dazhai every day for various reasons to shout and ask to meet.
Early the next morning, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao came to see Liu Bei as usual, and this time Liu Bei had already settled down for the banquet and waited for Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to come.
Since Zhu Lu and the others came to ask for a meeting, and Liu Bei also opened the door to greet them, what reason did Zhu Lu and the others have to refuse, so the two of them naturally participated in Liu Bei's banquet.
Zhu Lu and the others were full of preparation for Liu Bei's sudden appearance, they didn't eat a single bite of the food on the table, and they didn't drink a sip of wine, for fear that this bite of food would take their lives.
In the military tent, Liu Bei sat on the head, and his smiling demeanor was like a smiling tiger in the eyes of Zhu Lu and the others, the more leisurely he was, the more he felt that there was fraud in it!
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other civil and military officials staggered, pushing cups and changing lamps, exuding a jubilant look. And Zhu Lu and the others just raised their glasses to show friendship, and there was not a drop of wine from beginning to end.
There was no entertainment in the army, Gao Feng volunteered to dance the sword to help the fun, a set of swordsmanship is like flowing water, rigid and soft, everyone present applauded, and Zhu Lu and the two only symbolically smiled bitterly, and their faces were hard to see.
For them, this Gao Feng sword dance is quite a bit like Xiang Zhuang drawing his sword, which is intended to be the taste of Pei Gong. In addition, this Gao Feng Dancing Sword always glances here a few times from time to time, which aggravates the self-evident flavor of this.
This banquet made Zhu Lu and the others tremble and panic!
The wine was half-drunk, and the feeling of depression behind this happy state had been formed, Liu Bei felt that the time was ripe, so he ordered Liu Hui to invite this heirloom jade seal out.
A delicate wooden box was placed on Zhu Ling's food table, Zhu Ling was stunned, and immediately looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei just smiled indifferently and waved his hand to open the list.
"Ahh
Zhu Ling's eyes widened, like two bells, his body couldn't help but feel stunned, he pointed to the jade seal in the box with one hand, turned his head and glared at Liu Bei, and exclaimed: "This is the jade seal of the country!!? ”
Liu Bei's expression was calm, without a trace of horror, when Zhu Ling was stunned, Liu Bei was holding the wine bottle, taking a sip of turbid wine, Liu Bei replied indifferently: "It is the jade seal of the country!" ”
"You killed Yuan Shu!?"
Zhu Ling took out the jade seal from the box and carefully looked at this high-profile thing, his hands trembled slightly, and his nervous expression seemed to ease a little.
"Nope! Yuan Shu is living well, and he should not be out of Huainan at this time. ”
Zhu Ling in front of him was already deeply attracted by the jade seal of the country, and his eyes basically never left the jade seal.
Liu Bei guessed that the purpose of this expedition was to intercept Yuan Shu and recapture the jade seal. One of the biggest goals is to recapture the jade seal, and now that the jade seal has been lost, it can be regarded as a great achievement.
"Why don't you give this jade seal to General Zhu Ling?" Liu Bei asked tentatively.
Obviously, no matter who it is, as long as they send the jade seal back to Xu Du, it will be a miracle, and how can Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao not know it. But this Liu Bei said it, and he was even more generous, which inevitably made the two of them suspicious.
"This"
Zhu Ling's face was a little embarrassed, he calmed down for a moment, and excused himself: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" The jade seal was obtained by the imperial uncle, and it should be handed over to His Majesty by the imperial uncle himself, how can he give us this great merit in vain. ”
Lu Zhaozheng was excited, but Zhu Ling stubbornly rejected this kindness, and was about to say something, Zhu Ling's eyes widened, so that Lu Zhaonuo did not dare to speak.
It seems that this Zhu Ling is the real master of these three thousand male soldiers, this person can abandon the famous Yuan Shao and turn his head to the rising Cao Cao, this vision is really good, and today he can be calm in the face of such a big temptation, and he can not lose his heroic nature.
Zhu Ling is really hard to deal with!
"I have already worshiped General Zuo, and I am more expensive as the emperor's uncle! At this point in life, what more can a husband ask for?
However, General Zhu is different, the general is a general, and he is not the same as the Xiahou brothers and the Cao family, nor can he be compared with Yu Ban, Li Dian and other old ministers.
If the general can't grasp the matter of recapturing the jade seal this time, I'm afraid that there will be no future in this life and this life. I'm doing this for your good! ”
Liu Bei's words are not unreasonable, Zhu Ling's position in Cao Jun is really embarrassing.
Although Cao Cao had a virtuous order in history, it was also after the Battle of Chibi, and this virtuous order was just a show, and its real purpose was to make a human foundation for Cao Pi to be the emperor.
However!
Zhu Lu and the others had secretly received Cao Cao's instructions before they set out on the expedition, and the purpose of this southward interception of Yuan Shu was essentially to use all means to get rid of Liu Bei at all costs, not to get rid of a desperate Yuan Shu and get a broken stone.
Ha ha
Zhu Ling laughed wildly on his back, then put down the jade seal, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Thank you Uncle Huang for your concern, if the future of the last general is promoted by relying on the merits obtained by others, I am afraid that the last general will not be able to sleep for the rest of his life."
Uncle Huang is kind, and the general will be grateful, but this jade seal is still handed over to His Majesty by Uncle Huang himself. ”
Liu Bei felt a slight sense of frustration in his heart, but he disappeared without a trace!
Since the soft one can't be made, then the hard one has to come!
Liu Bei picked up the wine bottle, waved his long sleeves, and drank it all with his face.
This is a signal, it is the established strategy that several of them discussed yesterday, on the premise of not hurting the peace, try to achieve this matter, if Zhu Lu and the two of them toast and do not eat and drink, then they must forcibly implement this second set of strategies.
Zhang Fei realized in an instant, stood up, stared at him, the tiger's whiskers stood upside down, and the clay wine vat in his hand was immediately smashed, and the wine splashed everywhere, so a piece of the military tent was sprinkled.
"You. . . He. What do you mean,! My brother is the current emperor's uncle, Jin Zhi Yuye, and now he gives you such a good credit, how dare you not accept it? Looking for death!! ”
Liu Hui and Guan Yu, who were already ready on the side, hurriedly got up to stop the tiger body that was about to run out, and reassured: "The three generals should not be angry!" The two generals are just joking, such a great achievement, who doesn't love it? They'll definitely pick it up. ”
