Chapter 501: The Rise of Northern Jin (8)
General Liu hiccuped, took a few deep breaths, and just suppressed the surging wine, another soldier who didn't know whether it was a sentry officer or a sentry commander, and a big smile came to him.
"Congratulations, congratulations." The soldier said the words of congratulations in his mouth, and without saying anything, he filled the wine bowl of General Liu with the wine jug in his hand, "I can't speak, so I will do it first as a respect, my lord." ”
As soon as the words fell, the wine was drunk, and then he also raised the wine bowl to signal to General Liu Shen, who frowned slightly and lifted the bowl to dry the wine.
In this way, the soldiers lined up to toast to these generals gathered in General Liu's mansion one by one, even though General Liu and others were unwilling, but since they started, they couldn't stop, drinking bowl after bowl, Rao is that their wine has been tested, and it is estimated that it will not last long.
"Ge Laozi." The big man in the costume of a small soldier at the gate suddenly cursed in a low voice, "But these guys are cheap, and they actually want to pour them down with wine, and it is a cold day, and I am thirsty when I see it." ”
"I think you're hungry, Lao Huang." Another man spoke, also dressed in a soldier's armor, "Don't worry, once this matter is over, it will definitely make you have a good drink." ”
The person known as Lao Huang is Zhang Xianzhong, who laughed when he heard this, "What's the matter, I just feel sorry for these drinks, toast these guys, and bring your own drinks, it's really... And those gifts, too, cost a lot of silver. ”
When they arrived in Zhangjiakou, they were actually quite aggrieved, Zou Qun had great powers, found a lot of shabby Ming army clothes and armor for them to wear, and also got Zhang Xianzhong and them to live in the barracks, including the border soldiers who were not in Zhangjiakou.
In order not to startle the snake, these mercenaries have stayed in the barracks honestly for many days, and they are really uncomfortable when they don't go out of the door, and they are a little excited after learning that they will do it tonight.
"Pull it down, if you are hungry for wine, you will be hungry for wine, and you can admit it happily, why hide it, it's not cool at all, Lao Huang." Another person spoke, his voice hoarse, but it was Sun Kewang, "Besides, these wine gifts are all silver from our union, I don't feel distressed, what are you distressed about?" ”
"Yes." The person who made fun of Zhang Xianzhong before was Luo Rucai, and at this time he answered, "If there are no gifts, can these soldiers drink with these people smoothly, most of them have to break through, they don't prepare the wine, do they still expect these people to take it out, they wish they didn't have wine." ”
"If you break hard, you can break hard, can these pot-bellied guys still be able to use knives?" Zhang Xianzhong retorted in a low voice, after experiencing these times outside the Saiwai, now he has confidence in the face of these border troops who have not gone through the wind and frost.
"Okay, Lao Huang, don't be stubborn, I promised Zou Qun and them a long time ago, and the governor also has a request, these border generals, if you can not kill them, you will not kill them, you really want to be greedy, why just go and toast a round of wine, how about it? Anyway, these people definitely won't be able to recognize their subordinates, so they don't have to worry about goofs. Sun Kewang asked, "As for those gifts, hehe, can't I take them back afterwards?" ”
"No, no, no," Zhang Xianzhong was not confused at all, "There will be big things later, but it can't be delayed because of drinking, okay, I'll just watch quietly and promise not to speak." ”
"Pour, pour, pour." Luo Rucai suddenly shouted in a low voice, and with his voice, he saw that General Liu shook a few times, the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and his body fell backwards softly, but fortunately, his housekeeper had returned to him to wait, and reached out in time to support him, so he didn't fall.
"I don't think the others will last long." Sun Kewang said with a smile on the side.
Sure enough, the guerrilla generals who followed closely behind General Liu Shen were all red-faced and unsteady, and they thought about it, although they could often eat and drink a lot of wine, but like tonight, they drank bowl after bowl without respite, but they rarely experienced it.
Sun Kewang's specially selected wine was a little strong, which was in line with the taste of these soldiers, but it was bitter for these adults.
"It can't be pretended, right?" Zhang Xianzhong was a little suspicious, these people were drunk too quickly.
"How's it going?" Sun Kewang didn't care, "Let's tie it up later." ”
At this moment, Liu Wenxiu hurried in and whispered a few words in Zhang Xianzhong's ear.
"It's a bit of a hassle right now, Captain Sun." After listening to this, Zhang Xianzhong whispered to Sun Kewang, "This general is also a little vigilant, and he also knows that he has summoned all his family members back, and if we want to take down their entire mansion without blood, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”
"What's there?" Sun Kewang pointed to the wine jar stacked not far from the door, "Then pour wine, stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, I don't believe that someone can toast these people and turn their faces,"
"Let these sentry officers and sentry chiefs or something, overthrow these adults, and then go to the family, if there are not enough people, let Hao Qing go to the barracks again and call those old and weak soldiers over, since they can't fight, it's just right to come in handy at this time."
"The wine..."Luo Rucai had only said a few words before he was interrupted by Sun Kewang, "If the wine is not enough, send someone to buy it, and I will get the money." The words were unusually atmospheric, "As long as the people who do it tonight don't drink and don't make mistakes, it's done, and the rest, they have to drink enough." ”
Drunk all these generals in Zhangjiakou, this is Sun Kewang's first step.
In order to achieve Governor Geng's intentions, it was necessary to take full control of the upper and lower forts of Zhangjiakou, so that before the official action, the busiest were Zou Qun and some other small leaders of the border army.
They moved up and down, past their respective superiors, those who were the chief guerrillas, and secretly contacted all the sentry officers and sentinels in Zhangjiakou, and there were many people and time constraints, and they didn't care to talk to these people in such detail, so they only asked them if they were willing to join themselves and others to seek justice from General Liu on the issue of military salaries.
Most of these people are worried about their livelihoods, and they should be accepted by being picked up like this, and occasionally if they are unwilling, Zou Qun will not talk to them, and immediately turn their faces and imprison them, so as not to cause them to become troublesome.
The soldiers under these sentries were all united by Zou Qun in the name of seeking justice together, and then left the strong and the weak, and those who could fight acted with him, and the old, weak, sick and disabled acted with their original commanders and followed Zhang Xianzhong.
A few days before the action was decided, Zou Qun and some other low-level generals of the border army, in the ignorance of General Liu Shen, had already controlled the vast majority of the troops in the entire Zhangjiakou.
