Chapter 340: The Wine Banquet Borrows the Way

"The title of our Xiaoguo Army comes from the Xiaoguo Guard in the Sixteen Guards, and it has always been a force controlled by Situ Lei. Xuzhou put down the rebellion, the left prime minister's army was defeated and lost, and the whole army was killed, and this Xiaoguowei was one of them. The king of Qi wrote to the emperor and gave us this title, and the court built a new Changwu army, put the new army into the hands of the emperor, and cut off a part of the power of the left minister. Speaking of which, the name of our Xiaoguo Army was still taken from the hands of the left minister. ”

Zhao Xun said thoughtfully: "Situ Lei attacked the governor of Youzhou, the power of King Qi, and this King of Qi immediately attacked a guard and horse controlled by Situ Lei. These people, all of them are talents. ”

"By the way, Zuo Xiang Situ Lei is not a simple person, he should also make a move, although he was ready to make a move against Youzhou from the beginning, but after he moved the capital this time, his power will be greatly reduced, and the power of King Qi will be greatly increased, he can't still be indifferent."

Zhao Haidao: "Zuo Xiang did make a move, and he was directly aimed at the governor of Youzhou, preparing to replace the governor of Youzhou with someone else, and move the Longxiang army under Li Huaiyuan to Cao Gang, the general of Zhenbei." As for the governor of Youzhou, he will be beaten to death with a stick. ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "It seems that Situ Lei's idea is wrong this time." Well, your Shadow Division is growing very fast, and each state has branches. For officials, no matter how big or small, try to win them over, but don't expose your identity lightly. ”

Situ Lei...... Kill my father, and you have a share. Don't even think about getting involved in this Youzhou, and don't even think about the 50,000 dragon army. Cao Gang, the general of Zhenbei, if you dare to stretch out your claws, you will be chopped off.

"Send a message to Li Huaiyuan, let Li Muzhi prepare to dispatch, these 30,000 Jin Yan troops are specially left for them. How many have this dragon army been wooed? ”

"It's only about one-fifth of five-fourth, and that's why my Xiaoguo Army dares to face the Evil Army head-on. This Longxiang army is a real soldier, and it is not inferior to our Xiaoguo army at all. ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "No matter who he is, if he doesn't obey, there will only be death!" What happened to the civil and military officials in Haizhou Mansion? ”

Zhao Hai said with a smile: "Maybe it's some of the eldest brother's practices in Pingzhou Mansion that make Haizhou Mansion jealous." However, the people of Haizhou Mansion greatly hoped that the Xiaoguo Army would settle in, because the strong wall had been clear for several months, which made the people in Haizhou Mansion extremely dissatisfied. If it weren't for the fact that at the beginning of the year, we trapped the Yan army in three counties and eight cities, I am afraid that the people of Haizhou Mansion would have run out long ago. Now the assassins and captains of Haizhou Mansion are willing to obey our dispatch. Just asking us to ......"

"Spare their lives!" Zhao Xun said.

"Exactly, because we killed the assassin Shi and the lieutenant of Pingzhou Mansion, we didn't receive it from the imperial court. They were scared, and they had done a lot of things that violated the laws of the imperial court, for fear that we would also punish them properly. "Privately beheading an official of the imperial court, although there is a reason, it is still an illegal order. In the end, the reaction of the imperial court was that the merits and demerits were offset, and Zhao Xun didn't care about this.

Many of Zhao Xun's subordinates had a reward, but they didn't take this reward seriously. Because their system was different from that of the imperial court, the army gained far more than the imperial court gave. But some civil officials still take these things very seriously, after all, after the approval of the imperial court, they feel that they are real officials.

"Give them a return visit, promise them, and I have no grievances with them!" Zhao Xun said with a smile.

…………

In early summer, the weather is not very hot, and it is still like spring. The breeze was warm, and Zhao Xun held a feast in the general's mansion to celebrate his son Zhao Rui's full moon.

Full moon banquet, Zhao Xun wanted to set up a banquet to celebrate, Xu Qinlian originally wanted his family to be together, but Zhao Xun had nothing to do recently, so he decided to put on a feast and celebrate, no matter what, this is also his first son.

The house has not been so lively for a long time, the lights are colorful, joyful, graceful and demure Xu Qinlian, with a can't help smile on her face, holding her son is very happy.

Zhao Xun put on his son's full moon banquet, which naturally moved in all directions, coupled with the defeat of the Xiaoguo army, trapped the army in the north of Pingzhou Mansion, and won a great victory. More importantly, Zhao Xun killed Pingzhou Assassin Shi and Duwei and wiped out their three clans, and the imperial court did not blame it, making the surrounding prefecture and county officials feel cold in their necks.

Zhao Xun beheaded two people, in addition to colluding with the Yan army and letting them into the city, he was also guilty of perverting the law for bribes, oppressing the people, only caring about personal interests, and ignoring the people. Speaking of these crimes, the officials of the surrounding provinces, except for colluding with the Yan army and letting them into the city, which of the other crimes they have not done?

Although Zhao Xun was not their top boss, he couldn't stop the tens of thousands of troops in his hands and his importance in the eyes of the imperial court. If Zhao Xun dealt with them on these charges, the imperial court would definitely stand by Zhao Xun and blame them a few more times. Why? Nowadays, there are rebels in the east and west of Yan Kingdom, and there are foreign harassments in the north, but the Xiaoguo army in Youzhou has won many big victories and greatly increased the face of the imperial court. You don't see, the emperor directly gave the title of Xiaoguowei, who was completely wiped out by the rebels when he rebelled in Xuzhou, to the Huolin Army, and the Zuo Xiang, who lost the power of Yiwei, did not veto.

The general's mansion is like a city, Zhao Xun greeted the civil and military generals who came one after another in the hall, there was no war after the year, and all parts of the country were on the right track, basically proceeding step by step, so the civilian and military generals were idle. It is rare for Zhao Xun to have a big celebration, and all the officials have come to the door. Officials from the surrounding provinces sent representatives one after another to send valuable congratulatory gifts to celebrate the full moon of Zhao Xun's son.

Before the formal banquet, Xu Qinlian hugged his sleeping son to accept the congratulations of the guests beside Zhao Xun, and then went to the room next door with Li Ruolan, Su Ran, Su Ziyan, etc., who were more than six months pregnant.

The delicacies were close at hand, and Zhao Xun sat on the main seat with a smile on his face, and toasted with the guests.

"General, someone from the Youzhou Governor's Mansion is here." Said the butler who greeted him outside the door.

"Oh? Please come in, everyone is a guest. Zhao Xun said lightly.

The guests in the room, who were originally laughing and laughing, suddenly fell silent. Xiaoguojun and Youzhou Governor are at odds, as we all know. Why? The governor of Youzhou has jurisdiction over the government army of all the prefectures and counties in Youzhou, and it is precisely the land of the five prefectures that does not obey the jurisdiction of the governor of Youzhou.

This is nothing, the most incompatible thing between the two is that the world compares the Governor of Youzhou with a thousand miles of defeat and refusal to resist compared with the heroic and good battle of the Xiaoguo Army and the defeat of the Yan Army. One high and one low, it is obvious that everyone in the world despises the governor of Youzhou and the 50,000 dragon troops under his command. The Han people in the north of Yan were all plundered and enslaved by foreign races, but only the Xiaoguo army wantonly enslaved the Yan people, and there were more than 50,000 prisoners of the Yan army in its territory, repairing official roads, cities, fields and water conservancy for the local area, and greatly increasing the self-confidence of the people.

For this reason, Zhao Xun took the Weizhou Mansion and the Pingzhou Mansion, replaced the officials, and after they were all autonomous, the governor of Youzhou sent a letter to sue Xiaoguojun. Even, in the place where Weizhou Mansion and Jizhou Mansion meet, there is constantly friction.

The guests in the house, except for the officials of the Xiaoguo Army, the rest are the official representatives of the surrounding prefectures and counties, and the officials of the Xiaoguo Army naturally do not have a good face towards the envoy of the governor of Youzhou, and the representatives of the surrounding prefectures and counties will naturally not interfere in the process.

Suddenly, a young man in a light blue brocade robe, with a gentle face and an elegant and elegant temperament, stepped on the stairs and came, followed by a man with a majestic figure and several brocade boxes in his hands.

The blue-shirted young man stepped into the hall and saluted respectfully to Zhao Xun, and then bowed apologetically to the guests on the left and right.

"Bang Dang"

A guest's wine glass fell off the table, and he didn't notice it, or he didn't care, if it didn't care.

One of the guests frowned and asked, "Who is that person?" How do you have such an expression. ”

"The second son of the governor of Youzhou, Li Muyuan, is also the secretary of Youzhou Mansion to join the army."

"Li Muyuan? How did he come here? Don't be afraid ......," one whispered.

"Nonsense, this is a full moon feast, not a battlefield. Besides, although the two are not in harmony, they are not enough to come out of the sword. Another retorted.

Zhao Xun politely introduced the representative of the governor of Youzhou into the banquet, much to the disappointment of some people who were ready to watch them fight. On the banquet, laughter and bargaining were staggered.

In the room of the female dependents, Xu Qinlian and the others also looked at Li Xinyan in front of them in surprise.

"Joy! How did you come here? I mean, your family asked you to come? Li Ruolan asked in a lost voice. Regarding the disagreement between Zhao Xun and the governor of Youzhou, as we all know, it is difficult for the second daughter to believe that Li Huaiyuan will let his daughter appear here.

Li Xinyan wrinkled her little nose and hummed and said, "Hmph, okay, Sister Li'er, the children are all full moon, and they don't tell me, they don't treat me as a sister at all." And that Zhao Xun actually worked against my father...... It will make him look good. By the way, I have good news for you, I will live in Yanzhou City in the future. ”

"What? Xinyan, you're not talking about fun, are you? Do you live in Yanzhou City? How is this possible? With the antagonistic relationship between your husband and your father, how could your father agree to let you live in Yanzhou City. Xinyan, you shouldn't have sneaked out, or did you have an awkward relationship with your family? Xu Qinlian asked in disbelief.

Li Xinyan sat next to Xu Qinlian, looked down at Xiao Zhao Rui, who was sleeping, and said casually: "No, this time not only me, but even my uncle, uncle and other relatives have come to Yanzhou City, and they will settle in Yanzhou City in the future." ”

Xu Qinlian and Li Ruolan looked at each other, and then the two knew that there must be something hidden in this, although there were no outsiders around, but the two also knew that they couldn't ask, Li Xinyan didn't care, but Xu Qinlian and Li Ruolan couldn't care. Pitchers have ears! Who knows if there will be any surprises.

In the lobby, since Li Muyuan came in, although it didn't disturb the banquet, there was also a strange atmosphere in the middle. Li Muyuan didn't care about talking to the officials and representatives of the prefectures and counties around him, and kept talking about some official affairs.

On top of the wine banquet, the special preparation was to talk about business at the banquet of the full moon of the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, which made the faces of the officials of the Xiaoguo Army extremely ugly. The official representatives who sat with Li Muyuan were full of bitterness, and the official representatives were all cronies of the officials, so they naturally would not cause trouble for their masters. But now, Li Muyuan can't afford to offend, and Zhao Xun can't afford to offend, caught in the middle, and the left and right are not people.

"Li Muyuan, what do you mean? Do you think this is your governor's mansion? If you want to discuss official business, please go back to your Youzhou Yamen. At the signal of some people, Han Meng said loudly.

The hall was silent for a moment, and Li Muyuan smiled: "What? Isn't this the land of my secluded state? The land of Youzhou is all under the jurisdiction of the governor of Youzhou, where can it not be discussed? ”

"You...... This is the territory of my Xiaoguo Army, not your Youzhou Governor's Mansion......" Han Meng snorted for a long time before he said.

"The territory of the Xiaoguo Army? This is the land of the imperial court, and it is also the land of Youzhou. Li Muyuan said coldly.

"This is not true, this place is indeed the land of Youzhou, but my family is an envoy appointed by the imperial court to supervise the military and political affairs of Youbei. In other words, this place is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Youzhou. So...... This is the land of the imperial court, but it is not the land of Youzhou. Zhang Yuanjing on the side responded with a smile. Youzhou here naturally refers to the place under the jurisdiction of the governor of Youzhou.

Li Muyuan's face became more and more gloomy, and he was about to refute, but was interrupted by Zhao Xun.

"Okay, this is my son's full moon feast, not a place for you to fight. Second son Li, let's say, what's the matter with coming to me? Don't sue me, just to celebrate my son's full moon, I don't have such a big face, and my son doesn't have such a big face. It's better to say it directly, so as not to make everyone's face look bad. ”

Li Muyuan's face turned straight and said, "It's okay, since the general has said so, then I will no longer be hypocritical." Now it is rumored all over Youzhou that the left guard of my Youzhou Longxiang Army is not as good as the Xiaoguo Army, which has caused my Longxiang Army to lose all face. ”

"This has nothing to do with my Xiaoguo Army, and I don't have the ability to control how the people of Youzhou speak." Zhao Xun said lightly.

"Why doesn't the current Xiaoguo Army go north to the Shanghai Prefecture and completely defeat the Yan Army, do you want to raise thieves and respect yourself?"

"Hiss......" After Li Muyuan finished speaking, everyone in the hall turned pale and said a little too much. The generals of the Xiaoguo Army were all full of anger, if it weren't for Zhao Xun beside them, I am afraid that they would have rushed up and cleaned up Li Muyuan.

Zhao Xun smiled: "This has nothing to do with me, because the officials of Haizhou Government did not ask me for help and did not want me to enter the country." ”

Zhao Xun said this, and everyone in the hall believed it a little, because of the matter of Pingzhou Mansion, Haizhou Mansion Assassin Shi and Du Wei naturally trembled, because they were not very clean.

"Of course, there are people from Haizhou Mansion here, if you don't believe it, you can ask yourself."

At this moment, the two representatives of Haizhou Mansion muttered in their hearts, their superiors were clearly taking refuge in the Xiaoguo Army, why...... But in any case, they didn't dare to say that what Zhao Xun said was false.

"Well, so be it. Since the officials of Haizhou Mansion do not want you to enter the country, then my Longxiang army will fight and resist the invasion of Liaodong Kingdom in the north, can you Xiaoguo army dare to give way? Li Muyuan didn't ask the two, and said directly to Zhao Xun.

If Long Xiangjun wants to go to Haizhou Mansion, he naturally has to go from the territory of Xiaoguo Army. Although both sides are Yan State troops, who knows if they will be blackmailed from behind, or directly blocked......

Zhao Xun decided. Haha smiled and said, "That's good, if you want to fight the Yan Army, I naturally support it." Wherever he passed, he dared not stop him. In fact...... I also want to see, how is the left guard of the Long Xiang Army? Is it as powerful as the legend? Sixteen Guards...... Tsk......tt" said and kept shaking his head.

Li Muyuan didn't care about Zhao Xun's attitude, and said coldly: "The general will see it!" ”

"We'll see!"

Li Muyuan said his intention, so naturally he didn't stay any longer, said a word of congratulations, and got up to leave. Zhao Xun still smiled at him, not caring about Li Muyuan's attitude just now.

The lively object is gone, and the lobby naturally restores a harmonious atmosphere, and the planning is staggered......
