Chapter 40: Banquet for Guo Jia
Pei Xingyan was a little weakened under Yuwen Chengdu's intensive offensive, but the power of the counterattack did not decrease, and as soon as he repelled the phoenix wings and gold boring, the spear in his hand was twisted by a huge force and swept towards Yuwen Chengdu's curved body.

Yuwen Chengdu was not panicked, slapped one palm on the Zhaoyu Qilin, jumped up with the help of a huge force, spun and dodged the spear, without pausing, the gilded boring in his hand leaned forward, almost shaving off the hair bun of the Absolute Shadow.
Pei Xing narrowly dodged the blow, the spear pressed down, turned the horse's head, and rushed over again.
Yuwen Chengdu did not show weakness, the tiger and tiger who danced with gold and boring were windy, and they split down on the spot, like the phoenix wings of the three-pointed knife shining with gold and falling, with the potential of sinking stones.
After all, there are nearly two lilies in the fight, and Pei Xingyan's follow-up strength is a little sluggish, the two murder weapons collide together, and there are sparks between the frictions, which shows how strong the two sides are.
Yuwen Chengdu shouted, and actually poured two qi into this hit, and hit Pei Xingyan off guard, after all, the increase in the number of points of things outside the body is dead, and only the value of his own comprehension can fit perfectly, at this time, Yuwen Chengdu showed the difference between the two points of force.
Pei Xingyan couldn't bear the force, his waist was pressed and arched, and the absolute shadow under his crotch couldn't bear the huge force, so he knelt on the ground and lifted Pei Xingyan away, Yuwen Chengdu was also forced to retreat by the force of the shock, and the jade unicorn retreated several steps before unloading the huge force, obviously a little overdrawn, and he snorted at the moment, and did not step forward.
"Good" Zhang Juzheng took the lead in applauding, it can be said that the battle between the two represents the face problem of King Li and Cao Cao, Pei Xingyan is the captain, Yuwen Chengdu is King Li's personal guard, and his identity is similar, but now Yuwen Chengdu is slightly better, but it has greatly increased the face of the state capital.
Guo Jia was free and easy, smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Since Captain Pei has lost, then I can't bother anymore and leave." After speaking, he beckoned Pei Xingyan to leave.
At this time, King Li said with a smile: "Feng Xiao only knows the advice of the military generals of Wenchen, but he doesn't ask me what I think? ā
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, it seems that there is a lot to be done to fool King Li into sending troops: "Forgive Jia for being stupid, please give me some advice." ā
King Li took Guo Jia's hand and walked towards a restaurant: "Naturally, there is sincerity when talking about things at the wine table, and Fengxiao will come with me." ā
Guo Jia has been accustomed to King Li's enthusiasm in the past few days, and he has not rejected his kindness, but is curious about what King Li wants to say.
"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning." Guo Jia looked at the two lines of poetry at the entrance on the second floor of the Covered Bridge Pavilion, chanted softly, and chewed carefully.
"What advice does Mr. Fengxiao have for the lord's Mobao?" Li Wang was not there, and Zhang Juzheng was in charge of temporarily accompanying Guo Jia.
As for where King Li went, of course he went to prepare food, this covered bridge pavilion is a restaurant vacated after the surrender of the Montenegrin army, King Li just made the best use of everything, changed him into a unique restaurant, the first floor is divided into four halls of spring, summer, autumn and winter, each hall corresponds to a taste of dishes, and the second floor is divided into two halls of civil and military, only for officials and some famous generals and Confucians, even the children of the scholars, no extraordinary ability can not enter, and the nine chefs here are all disciples taught by King Li himself, although there is inferior, but it is also a taste.
"Oh?" Only then did Guo Jia know that half of the poem was written by Li Wang: "Zhang Juncheng knows what half of it has written." ā
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "We have all asked the lord before, but he said that he would make up for it later." ā
Guo Jia nodded, and really began to appreciate King Li's integrity in his heart.
Guo Jia is a literati, so he naturally arranged the banquet in the literary hall, with Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting dotted among them, if he didn't deliberately observe, he would definitely not associate these together.
After King Li made the arrangement, he went to the Wen Hall: "Feng Xiao is still satisfied with this environment. ā
Guo Jia hurriedly got up, bowed his waist and hugged his fists and said: "Li Zhoumu is a great talent, Jia admires." ā
"Huh." Wang Li laughed, pulled Guo Jia to sit beside him, and motioned him to be casual: "Please sit down, Fengxiao, today we are no different, only about friendship." ā
Everyone sat down with each other, there were Zhang Juzheng, Yuwen Chengdu, as well as Hao Zhao, who rushed to report on affairs, and Hou Junji, who came to restore his life after recruiting soldiers and horses, plus Guo Jia and Pei Xingyan, but they didn't seem compact.
Before the dishes could be served, a man dressed as a guard came up and whispered a few words in King Li's ear.
"It's such a coincidence, then let them all come up." King Li ordered casually, and then smiled at Guo Jia: "My brother-in-law Zhao Yun and his gong Cao Zhouyu happened to come from Jinyang, and there was a letter the day before yesterday saying that they would come back to recover their lives in the past few days. ā
Guo Jia smiled and echoed twice, and after a short time, Zhao Yun and the two walked in, and after seeing each other, they sat in the banquet, and King Li began to introduce.
"Zilong, this is Guo Jia, a strategist under Cao Shilang." Zhao Yun hurriedly got up and saw that although he was now General Anton, the two belonged to different camps, and King Li could not be lazy with such a solemn introduction.
Guo Jia arched his hand: "General Zilong's reputation is spread all over the world, and everyone doesn't praise it when he hears it, but he admires it for a long time." ā
"This is Pei Xingyan, the captain under Cao Shilang, who is also a brave man, who has fought with Chengdu for 200 rounds without winning or losing, and is a talented general in the world." King Li pointed at Pei Xingyan.
Zhao Yun glanced at him in surprise: "Yuwen Chengdu's brave martial arts Zilong is ashamed, I didn't expect that there would be such a fierce general in the world, it's really disrespectful." ā
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Pei Xingyan has been very comfortable these days, and he is here to meet to recover Yongzhou and Liangzhou and other places, so he will naturally not be offended.
"General Zhao is modest, who doesn't know that the general is the first person to break the myth of Lu Bu." Pei Xingyan replied with a smile, with some arrogance in his words.
Zhao Yun smiled indifferently, and didn't care, it seems that people with excellent skills have their own pride.
Li Wang introduced Zhou Yu to Guo Jia again, and the difference between the two peak intelligence was only 1 point, although Zhou Yu was still growing at this time, and the values were not perfect, but he could also exchange experiences with Guo Jia, and Li Wang was also happy with them.
Guo Jia also knows about this young strategist, who was passed on as a prodigy by the people of Bingzhou, although he is now sixteen or seventeen years old, he is still wise.
At this time, those subordinates brought the dishes one after another, and suddenly the aroma of the dishes spread, and everyone's taste buds were opened.
The last dish was carried by a huge plate with a circle of half a meter, and it was covered by another large bowl, both in terms of volume and finale, which had already aroused everyone's interest, just waiting for Li Wang to introduce it.
"This dish is called crucian carp." Li Wang said and uncovered the big bowl, and suddenly a burst of white mist rose up, and its own fragrance was mixed with it: "The method is also simple, they are all fired, but the steps are not the same, and the taste is even more similar. ā
Li Wang took a piece and put it in his mouth, and immediately the juice flowed out, and the color was shiny.
Everyone couldn't care about anything else, and they moved their chopsticks one after another.
Only the first bite of Guo Jia fell into it, only felt that this thing should be the immortal food above the nine heavens, when replaced with a crucian carp, it was even more impossible to extricate himself, Li Wang cooked five crucian carp into five flavors, sour, sweet, spicy, salty, fresh, after the flavor of each other, it felt natural, it was really delicious.
King Li was busy for a while and was hungry, and he ate and drank with everyone, Guo Jia likes beauty, and is naturally a ghost in wine, and you come and go with King Li, very harmonious.
The dishes gradually decreased, and they were finally swept away, but the feast did not disperse, and King Li ordered his disciples to get a lot of appetizers, which were ready to be served at this moment.
"Fengxiao, I can promise Cao Shilang to send troops to Shouyang Mountain, but I have one condition." Although King Li said at the beginning that he could not talk about official business during the banquet, he broke the rules himself, and everyone would not say anything.
"Please also ask the state pastor to come."
King Li rubbed the bridge of his nose, but did not answer directly, but handed him a letter: "You take a look at this first." ā
Guo Jia took the envelope suspiciously, and before he could open it, he was shocked by the name of the sign, but he didn't reveal it.
This letter was sent urgently by Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Teng, before Han Sui was killed by Jia Xu's design, Ma Teng had not yet smelled the smell of danger, but as he went deeper into the range of stability, he found that he had fallen into the encirclement of Li Dao Guo Yan, so he asked King Li for help.
