In the evening, as soon as it was dark, Xiong Lichun came to Wang Kefan's Chinese army for a banquet.

This is a gathering of senior generals of the Chu army, and the volunteers of Ningzhou are not eligible to participate except for Xiong Lichun, so Xiong Lichun only brought two personal soldiers, and when he arrived at the door, he reported, and it was not long, and the Chinese officer Jingliang came out to greet him and politely led him to the big tent.

Two rows of torches drew a straight path, illuminating the front of the tent, a hundred pro-soldiers with helmets and armor, holding snowy knives, standing straight with a stern face, serving as a guard around the big tent, Wang Kefan usually doesn't talk about pomp, but tonight it was so formal, Xiong Lichun couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, could it be that this is a Hongmen banquet?

I didn't have time to think so much, Xiong Lichun was known outside the tent, and Wang Kefan's kind voice came from inside.

"Has the old bear arrived? Come on in. ”

In the big tent, Wang Kefan sat in the middle, dressed in plain casual clothes, looking very casual, more than a dozen Chu army generals and senior staff members were lined up left and right, but they were all dressed very formally, either in official uniforms, or in military uniforms, and seemed to be ready to fight at any time. There is a low table in front of everyone, and the dishes on the table are rich, and more than a dozen pro-soldiers are shuttling back and forth, constantly sending wine and fruits.

Wang Kefan stood up to greet him, Xiong Lichun stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "The last general, Xiong Lichun, meet the military gate, I brought two jars of wine, specially for the military gate!" ”

"Good! I'm about to taste the taste of Ningzhou's fine wine! Wang Kefan said with a smile: "Come on, I invite everyone to drink today, they are all brothers who have been together for many years, there is no distinction between high and low ranks, Lao Xiong should not engage in these false courtesies." Well, you are also from the Jiangxi Gang, so let's sit with Wang Ding and them. ”

Seeing that Wang Kefan's attitude was very kind, Xiong Lichun's heart was half relieved. There was an empty table next to Wang Ding and Gu Zongfu, he went over and sat down, turned around and bowed to the other generals, everyone greeted each other, and the banquet began.

Wang Kefan raised his wine glass: "I don't usually drink alcohol, I can't drink more, you just have fun, please get up." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank dry, and after three rounds of wine, the generals took turns to toast Wang Kefan. Wang Kefan just drank a little lightly, and he didn't finish a glass of wine for a long time, and when it was Xiong Lichun's turn, he naturally mentioned yesterday's incident and apologized to Wang Kefan and Cheng Wen.

Cheng Wen smiled coldly: "Hmph." Slap a date in the face, when I'm a three-year-old? ”

Xiong Lichun's face was embarrassed. He laughed dryly. Wang Kefan frowned, and said sternly: "Cheng Wen, how can there be a tooth that doesn't touch the tongue, this little thing is still taken to heart, your bearing is too narrow, and you don't bow to General Xiong to make amends?" ”

Since Wang Kefan has an order. Although Xiong Lichun didn't even dare to say it, Cheng Wen also stood up honestly, and gave him a deep salute with a blue face, Xiong Lichun's heart was dark for a while. Wang Kefan now has a request for Ningzhou, and he really gave himself enough face.

After Cheng Wen got up, he still looked angry and unsettled, and said, "General Xiong, I salute you three cups!" ”

Tan Xiao next to him shouted: "Hey, since it is to make amends, you have to be sincere, this cup is too small, change it to a big cup!" ”

Si Yang sent a few big cups and put them in front of Xiong Lichun, Xiong Lichun's face changed, where is this cup, it is clearly a big bowl.

The wine is like an injection, pouring a big bowl, the generals have coaxed, Xiong Lichun can't shirk it, so he has to drink three bowls hard, although the wine of this era is not high, but three bowls in a row are too urgent, Xiong Lichun is also slightly drunk.

Wang Kefan laughed, pointed at him and said: "I am a guest from afar, but the old bear is a snake on the ground, my alcohol is too shallow, but you have to accompany the old bear to drink." ”

Xiong Lichun hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine bowl that had just been poured and signaled to the generals: "Several generals have come to Ningzhou, and the magpies at the door of the old Xiong's house are screaming, so I will salute you with a bowl!" ”

Tan Xiao waved his hand: "Then how can it be done?" Come one by one, I have come all the way to Ningzhou, and it is impossible to say that I don't drink a bowl with Lao Xiong! ”

The generals also clamored, all of them had to toast with Xiong Lichun, Wang Kefan smiled, just looked at it and didn't persuade him, Xiong Lichun resigned again and again, but Tan Xiao and others were angry: "Old Xiong, are you a girl?" Or look down on our brothers? ”

There was no way, Xiong Lichun gritted his teeth and toasted to the generals one by one, and drank seven or eight bowls in a row, his body shook slightly, and he couldn't even stand steadily, so he had to sit down and say with a wry smile: "I'm drunk, I'm drunk, I can't drink anymore......"

Before the words fell, Xiong Lichun's body slid down and got under the table, everyone stepped forward to help him up, but they saw him snoring like thunder, unconscious.

"The old bear is drunk, help him down to rest." Wang Kefan gave a faint order, and after the soldiers sent Xiong Lichun down, he said to everyone: "Come on, let's take this opportunity to have a good drink, don't waste so many good dishes, well, Mr. Cheng Wen, I'll give you a glass first." ”

After the banquet was over, the generals all returned to the camp to rest, but Fang Zhengzheng deliberately stayed.

"The military gate should have seen it a long time ago, Xiong Lichun is pretending to be drunk today."

"Yes, he did it very well, and he didn't disappoint me, but if you get drunk and go crazy, it's not easy to clean up." Wang Kefan smiled proudly, like a child who had done a little bad thing: "Although he is not completely drunk, he is almost enough, and tonight is enough for him to be uncomfortable." ”

Since the Chu army entered Mufu Mountain, Xiong Lichun has been dishonest, secretly playing tricks in the martial arts competition with the Ji'an volunteers, and deliberately making things difficult for Cheng Wen, Wang Kefan is not good to have a direct attack, so he simply cleaned him up at the wine table.

……

Xiong Lichun was sent to the back tent, and the soldiers helped him to the bed, covered him with a thin quilt, and put a pot of warm tea on the table to prevent him from being thirsty after getting drunk.

Xiong Lichun kept snoring and slept unusually sweetly. It wasn't until the second half of the night that I suddenly woke up, got up and poured tea into my stomach, endured the headache after the hangover and lay down again, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Obviously, this is a lesson that Wang Kefan gave him, and he has to be very strong, so that he has no room for resistance, he can force himself to get drunk, and of course he can decide his life and death at will. Admiral Cao Jiang's identity is too high, and with the backing of tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Chu army, Xiong Lichun can only be drunk honestly at the banquet, and he does not dare to have a stiff relationship with Wang Kefan.

Fortunately, my old bear is very witty, and after drinking too much, he pretends to be drunk directly, and you can't help me if you don't know it! Xiong Lichun knew that his wine was not good, if he was completely drunk, he was likely to lose his temper after drinking, and even "spit out the truth after drinking", then it would be a big incident.

Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to confess to Wang Kefan, and after getting myself drunk, Wang Kefan's breath in the past few days will definitely disappear, and I should talk about the future...... (To be continued......)
