In his past and present lives, Li Yanzhi has never arranged such a thing as a Hongmen banquet. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "five hundred knives and axes were ambushed in the tent, and after three rounds of wine, the cup was broken, and the opposite side was immediately chopped into meat sauce." "This is only suitable for appearing in romance. The operability in reality is not high.

Not to mention that Li Yanzhi is still an away team in this big camp, Zhou Xing's attitude is the decisive key. However, due to certain considerations, Li Yanzhi felt that it seemed unwise to tell Zhou Xing at this time. So he could only secretly set that Zhou Xing would not support him to do so. In this way, the requirements for the reaction and coordination of Tao Heng's subordinates who carried out this matter became quite strict.

After setting up for a long time, Li Yanzhi and Tao Heng privately agreed on the code word to act, that is: "Someone!" So-and-so is drunk, send so-and-so back to camp! In this way, the atmosphere at the banquet will not change instantly because of his words, and it will not alert the military attaches he wants to arrest. It should be the safest code. Tao Heng discussed it with Li Yanzhi and thought so. So the matter of the code was decided.

Then, Li Yanzhi arranged for Tao Heng to send a dozen or so clever soldiers to serve in the banquet. A few people are on duty outside the room. When the secret signal was issued, the people from outside entered the chamber and fought with the soldiers who were at the table. The military attaches involved were captured. After being captured, he was immediately escorted to the county government jail without any stop.

After agreeing, Li Yanzhi entered the room and greeted those fireheads, ordering them to start making vegetables. Li Yanzhi and Tao Heng returned to Zhou Xing's room again, called the soldiers under Tao Heng, and arranged them again. Then, Li Yanzhi called everyone around him and waited with him.

Today, since Li Yanzhi was there, Zhou Xing gave up the main seat to Li Yanzhi to sit, and he sat unceremoniously on the side seat, and Li Yanzhi's subordinates did not bother with him, so they sat in turn. Zhou Xing saw that none of the generals in the camp had come, so he went out to summon a soldier and ordered him to go to the battalions to invite him. At this time, it was before the meal and drum, and in addition to the soldiers who went out to guard, all the troops had already returned to the camp. After a while, there were battalion generals coming to Zhou Xing's room one after another.

Every time someone came in, Zhou Xing would get up and introduce himself to Li Yanzhi. The generals also knew that the transferred county Sima had arrived in the county, and today they heard that Sima was going to convene a banquet for the generals, and they were all very happy. Life in the army is hard, food has always been bland, and Sima, who is rarely transferred today, wants to treat him, so he can naturally have a meat and tooth sacrifice. After entering Zhou Xing's house, he found that there was a jar of wine on top of each case, and his expression was even more happy.

Li Yanzhi smiled and met the generals introduced by Zhou Xing one by one. Even when he introduced Captain Wang Chuan and Captain Yang Tao, Li Yanzhi smiled and saluted, and there was no trace of anything unusual in his expression. made the two people who were originally a little uneasy gradually relaxed.

The meal drum sounded outside the room, Zhou Xingxing looked at the generals above each table, counted the heads for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't Chu Wei come?" ”

Hearing Zhou Xing's question, a general in the banquet across from him got up and said, "Back to the hundred generals, Chu Sima said that he was not feeling well, so he didn't come." ”

"Who didn't come to the empty tables?"

"Captain Wang Bairen is responsible for guarding the four gates of the county today, and Chen Duwei led a team of cavalry to go out to inspect, but he can't come, and there are ......."

Zhou Xing listened to the general's report and waved his hand: "You don't need to name one by one, since you didn't come, forget it." After that, Zhou Xing took the wine jar on the table, first filled the wine bowl in front of him, and then raised the bowl and said to everyone: "Li Sima was transferred to our office, and we should have waited for a banquet for Li Sima, but since Li Sima invited us subordinates to a banquet today, we can't live up to Sima's good intentions." ”

After a pause, Zhou Xing said again: "Let's drink this bowl, I think Sima He!" After saying that, Zhou Xing brought the bowl to his mouth and drank it all.

Seeing this, the generals also filled the bowls one after another, and then brought them to their mouths and drank them all. Seeing this, Li Yanzhi also laughed and said, "Coming here today is nothing more than to meet with everyone. I was transferred here not long ago, and many of you have fought side by side with many of you in the Jincheng camp, but we have not been together for a long time, and we have not seen them one by one. Seeing everyone so bold today, Li is also very happy. Thank you for your kindness, Li will work with you in the future, and I hope you will support you! ”

After that, Li Yanzhi also tilted his neck, and drank the slightly turbid rice wine in the bowl.

"Good! Sima Haoshuang! The generals below the seat saw that Li Yanzhi was also so bold, and they all applauded. Li Yanzhi smiled, then filled the bowl with wine, raised it and said, "I was fortunate to fight side by side with all the monarchs in Jincheng before, and I was very happy in my heart. All the gentlemen are my Liangzhou heroes, and let Li do this bowl to show his respect for you! ”

Seeing that Li Yanzhi took a sip of the wine in the bowl, these generals also poured the wine, and then raised the bowl together and drank it cleanly. During the banquet, someone put down the bowl and said with emotion: "When I was in the bloody battle in Jincheng before, I saw with my own eyes that Sima was fearless and took the lead, and we all admired him...... Unexpectedly, Sima followed closely and was transferred to serve in our county...... If I can serve under Sima, I will have no regrets......"

Hearing this, Li Yanzhi nodded, and then looked at the generals, as if he was caught in a memory, and only after a while did he speak: "The Battle of Jincheng is really tragic...... Since I joined the army, I have followed one of my brothers...... He also died in the Battle of Jincheng...... Alas. ”

When Li Yanzhi thought of Niu Erzhuang, he already had tears in his eyes, and he couldn't go on. When the generals saw this, they all looked at each other. Li Yanzhi wiped his eyes, then raised his head and said to the generals below: "Every time I think of the bloody battle in Jincheng, I can't sleep at night. It's a good thing to see you today, I shouldn't be so stupid and make everyone laugh......"

When it comes to the Battle of Jincheng, it is a nightmare that lingers in the hearts of these people. For a while, everyone was a little sad. They each picked up their wine bowls and staggered for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and talking about some inconsequential and inconsequential things, Li Yanzhi saw the opportunity, excused himself to go out to relieve himself, and summoned Tao Heng out with one look. As soon as Tao Heng came out, Li Yanzhi dragged him to a secluded place and said to him: "Now that Chu Wei is not in the seat, if you do it rashly, I am afraid of change." You take these people outside first, take my general seal, go to Chu Wei, and arrest him first. After you succeed, you ask your subordinates to escort Chu Wei to the grain depot first, and watch over it with the scribes. After you come back, I will arrest Wang Chuan and Yang Tao later. ”

When Tao Heng heard this, he was ordered to take a few soldiers guarding outside. Li Yanzhi returned to the camp and continued to talk with the generals at the banquet while eating and drinking, without mentioning it.

After about a quarter and a half of time, Tao Heng returned to the tent, and after sitting down, he nodded slightly, signaling that it was done. Li Yanzhi looked slightly drunk, looked at the generals in the banquet, and suddenly said: "Captain Wang is drunk, come here, send Captain Wang back to the camp!" ”

Wang Chuan suddenly heard that Li Yanzhi said that he was drunk, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Sima, I'm not ......drunk yet," and the words fell, and when he heard Li Yanzhi's order, the soldiers who entered the banquet had already walked up to him one on the left and one on the right, and pressed him on several cases with both hands, and the dishes and other objects on the several cases fell to the ground with a clatter.

Seeing this, Yang Tao was shocked, and hurriedly stood up and was about to rush outside. However, he had only run two steps when he was caught by the soldiers, and then immediately fell to the ground and took the rope and tied it up.

During the banquet, all the generals were a little dazed for a while, got up and looked at Li Yanzhi, trembling and not knowing what to say.

And Li Yanzhi, who was slightly drunk, had already stood up at this time, and looked at Wang Chuan and the others who had been captured with clear eyes: "Today, only these few people in the camp who colluded with profiteers and greedy for military rations have nothing to do with anyone else!" Tao Heng! ”

Tao Heng got up from the seat and stood by.

"Escort these people to the county jail!"

"Yes!" Tao Heng received the order, and while walking out, he waved to those soldiers. The people who were still shouting that they had been wronged had been tied up and escorted out of the house......
