Chapter 45: Take a seat

Guan Yi's green robe fluttered, slowly stepped forward, glanced at this group of iron-blooded brothers who shared life and death with him, and said in a deep voice after a while: "Brothers, Guan can't stand everyone!" ”

The five hundred blood guards did not move at all, but everyone knew in their hearts that Guan Yi had something to say.

"Today is the New Year's Day, but the brothers are still fighting on the battlefield with me, so that they can't return to their families, which is my sin!" Guan Yi sighed and continued: "Originally, Guan was going to buy some New Year's goods to comfort the brothers, but due to some changes, he couldn't cash in for the time being." However, Guan promised that he would double the amount he owed in the future. This is the case, I hereby inform all the brothers, and I hope that the brothers will take care of one or two! ”

As soon as the words fell, a blood guard standing in the front row took two steps forward and shouted, "General Hugh wants to say so!" We were originally the soldiers of the Guan family, since the general, General Meng treated us like brothers, we are all grateful, when the previous repulsion of Deng Ai, the general rewarded the brothers with a lot of gold beads and money. Moreover, most of my brothers are single and have nothing to worry about, and the New Year's Day does not mean much to our brothers. The general's heart, I and other brothers have it! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the blood guards suddenly became crowded.

This is a good thing to say, these five hundred blood guards were originally the old tribes of the Guan family, although there are also family members, but most of them are still alone, without parents and brothers, even if they drag their families, they are infected by this passionate pride, and their concern for their families is much lighter. When Guan Yi chose the blood guard in the Guan clan, he took this into account, which not only allowed the blood guard not to be affected by family concerns, but also ensured the loyalty of the blood guard as much as possible.

In fact, as far as the blood guard itself is concerned, even if there are hundreds of generals, but in this era when there are so many people with military merits, it is really nothing, not to mention that they were originally just low-status soldiers, if they did not enter the ranks, they could be buried for a lifetime and be a soldier for a lifetime.

But these five hundred blood guards knew in their hearts that Guan Yi treated them very kindly, which was not even comparable to the old master Guan Xing and the previous head of the Guan family, Guan Tong, when they were alive. Since following Guan Yi, Guan Yi has eaten and slept with them, although he dare not say that he is a brother and sister, but Guan Yi has never treated them as domestic slaves. Following Guan Yi, although there is a possibility of dying at any time, everyone lives extremely relaxed, comfortable, and dignified, which they never dared to imagine before.

"That is, the general treats me like a mountain, how can we not be satisfied?"

"That's right, if the general says so, he will torture me and wait!"

Ehu was originally a man of temperament, and when he saw the surging feelings of his brothers, he couldn't help but think of Guan Yi's life-saving grace and friendship for him, and his heart was excited, panting and shouting: "Ehu follows the young master with all his heart, and he has no regrets about life and death!" ”

Chen Lie also took two steps forward, held high the command flag and shouted: "We will follow the general to the death, and we will not regret life or death!" ”

"Swear to follow the general, no regrets in life and death!" Someone took the lead, and the five hundred blood guards were even more enthusiastic, and they all raised their arms and shouted, and their voices pierced through the golden stones, rushing straight to Xiao Han. At this time, in their hearts, all the brothers who rolled out of the war can live and die together, and this friendship is indestructible and surpasses everything.

"Swear to follow the general, no regrets in life and death!"

"Swear to follow the general, no regrets in life and death!"

……

Zhuge Shang has been watching coldly, and he can't help but feel excited and sigh at this moment. On the march to fight, in terms of the art of war, he thought that he would not lose to Guan Yi. As far as martial arts bow horses are concerned, Guan Yi is at most a second-rate general, even in terms of family background, the glory of the Guan family is already yesterday, and it is not comparable to the influence of the current Zhuge family in the imperial court. But that's it, Zhuge Shang didn't dare to have the slightest contempt for Guan Yi.

From the first time he saw Guan Yi in the downtown of Chengdu that day, Zhuge Shang noticed that Guan Yi had a temperament that was different from ordinary people, which was a kind of gorgeous nobility, a calm generosity, or a domineering momentum that swallowed heaven and earth and embraced all rivers? Maybe it's both, Zhuge Shang can't say it well, and he can't see through it. But at this moment, he seemed to understand why the Blood Guard was so absolutely loyal to Guan Yi, and also understood why Ehu, Chen Lie, and the people of Shi Feng were willing to drive for him.

"Death to a confidant!" Zhuge Shang squinted at the passionate blood guards, the brothers are united, and their profits are gold, he has reason to believe that as long as Guan Yi is willing, his blood guards can definitely go to the soup for him without frowning. With such a group of brothers who are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood, and are determined to live and die together, Guan Yi will be able to achieve an earth-shattering cause sooner or later.

After the review, Guan Yi asked Chen Lie to go back to the post house with him, and sure enough, when he arrived at the gate of the post house, he met Jiang Wei and sent someone to invite him, saying that the Shuai Mansion had set up a banquet to invite all the generals, and asked Guan Yi to go to the banquet quickly. Guan Yi asked about the people, and learned that Liao Hua and Liu Yin had already gone to the Shuai Mansion first, and they didn't dare to delay too long, so they ordered everyone to quickly change into civilian clothes and rush to the Shuai Mansion.

When I arrived at the door of the Shuaifu, I saw a few pieces of red silk hanging on the door beam, Du Zhen led two guards to greet guests at the door, and when he saw Guan Yi, he hurriedly came forward to greet him, and then let the guards behind him lead Guan Yi and others into the house. Along the way, I met a lot of generals of various battalions who came to the banquet in twos and threes, most of these people Guan Yi didn't know, so they only smiled slightly and nodded when they met, most of these people didn't know Guan Yi, but because of their fierce appearance, people unconsciously looked at a few more times, but they didn't attract much attention in addition.

After entering the lobby, there were already two rows of banquets on the left and right sides of the hall, Guan Yi secretly counted them, there were more than 30 tables, and most of the seats were already occupied. When he was hesitating in his heart and didn't know where to sit, the guard who led the way in front of him led Guan Yi straight to the fourth seat on the right.

Guan Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect Jiang Wei to give himself this position, you must know that the position on the left is Zhang Yi, Liao Hua, Dong Ju and Ning Sui, Zhao Tong and others, and the first position on the right is Liu Yin, followed by Jiang Bin, the defender of Hancheng, and Wang Han, the defender of Lecheng.

Liao Huaren is old and refined, and he cares more about Guan Yi than others, seeing that he refuses to sit down, he immediately guessed his thoughts, stood up and walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Respect, this is arranged for you by the general himself, you can sit down with peace of mind!" ”

"That's right! Not to mention anything else, just because of your two credits of burning Yang'an Pass and the surprise attack on Qipanling, you can sit in this seat! Liu Yin also stood up to help.

Guan Yi's two credits, the former knocked on the seven inches of the Wei army in one fell swoop, forcing the Wei army to retreat overnight. The latter opened up the choke point between Sichuan and Hanzhong, completely destroying Zhonghui's vain attempt to block the pace of the Han army's subsequent cover-up with the Qipan Pass, so that he had enough time to slowly withdraw from Hanzhong. If the court is rewarding meritorious deeds, no matter the weight of any merit, it is worthy of the first merit.

Of course, this is all due to Guan Yi's contribution from the overall situation. The reason why Liu Yin said this is that there is another layer of thought, Guan Yi burned the 300,000 stone grain and grass that the Wei army had hoarded in Yang'an Pass, in addition to forcing Zhong Hui to withdraw his troops overnight, but also directly relieved the huge pressure of the three passes of Han, Le and Jinjin that had been besieged by the Wei army for several months. In other words, if it weren't for Guan Yi's fire, Liu Yin really didn't have the certainty of continuing to hold on. Therefore, from this point of view, Guan Yi is tantamount to a life-saving benefactor for himself and thousands of soldiers under his command.

Liu Yin's words didn't make Guan Yi have too much pride, but even more like walking on thin ice. But Jiang Bin and Wang Han, who were sitting in the second and third seats, knew it in their hearts, and glanced at each other, Jiang Bin said with a smile: "Jing Zhixiu wants to resign, you have made two great contributions, and today you are sitting in this seat, and it is expected that no one will be unconvinced!" ”

Wang Han smiled and nodded, it seemed that there was no objection.

However, as soon as Liu Yin and Jiang Bin said this, many generals who sat down immediately blew up their nests, most of them because of their low positions, they usually did not have the opportunity to participate in the discussion of military affairs, so they only heard Guan Yi's name and did not see him, and some of the generals who passed by Guan Yi even secretly smacked their tongues, it can be said that people can not look like the sea is immeasurable, who would have thought that the young man who is weak and extraordinary in the hall is Guan Yi, the auxiliary Han general of the two armies of Megatron Han, Wei and Wu?

Although Guan Yi felt like walking on thin ice, he did not mess up because of this. Speaking of which, Jiang Bin and Wang Han are no strangers to him, before entering the Zitong Mountains to train troops, he has seen the two of them several times, although they have no contact with each other, but among the generals under Jiang Wei, Jiang Bin and Wang Han are also very talented and famous.

Jiang Bin, with both words, is the son of Jiang Wan, a former general and a great Sima. After Jiang Wan's death, Jiang Bin attacked the Marquis of Anyang Pavilion, first as a general of Yamen, and then with the general Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, he was promoted to the general of Suiwu and the protector of Hancheng. Jiang Weizhong Tuntian avoided trouble, and Jiang Bin was ordered to guard Seoul.

Wang Han, self-esteem, is the wife and nephew of the former leader Feng Xi, who once led the left army with Jiang Bin with Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.

Guan Yi saw that these military generals all said this, although he was still a little honestly afraid, but he couldn't shirk it anymore, and reluctantly sat down humbly. Zhuge Shang, E Hu, Chen Lie, and Shi Feng were led by the guards and sat in a row of seats behind them.

After about a cup of hot tea, all the generals of the battalions had already arrived and sat down, and Du Zhen saw that the time was almost up, so he immediately ordered the guards to serve wine and food.

The so-called wine and food are nothing more than half a chicken and a plate of fruit, which is extremely simple. But everyone knows that although this war, which lasted nearly a year, ended in the victory of the Han army, the price paid was extremely painful, not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers who were killed and injured on the battlefield, and the consumption of grain and grass materials alone was extremely great, so it was not easy for Jiang Wei to put on such a table at this time. After all, there is only one state in the Han Dynasty, and his family background is far less rich than Cao Wei's.

Although the dishes are simple, the wine is one urn per person. Guan Yi glanced at it and knew that this urn of wine was enough for all the generals present to drink happily. When he looked back at Ehu, he just saw his eyes shining, staring directly at the urn of wine, and laughing secretly in his heart, if it wasn't for the banquet in the Shuaifu, I was afraid that he would have been unable to help but feast.
