Chapter 43: The Feast of the Hung Gate

Er Zhuzhao was very dissatisfied with Gao Huan's confrontation with him, and originally wanted to turn the two families in Hedong upside down, but later Xie Sichun persuaded him, which was undoubtedly a waste of strength and a fight with each other. Instead, Erzhu Tianguang and Erzhu Dulu took advantage of it, and Erzhu Zhao recalled that he invited the two old men of the Erzhu clan to raise troops together, but they didn't react, and they calmed down immediately.

On this day, Zhu Zhao was very depressed and drinking in the barracks, and someone outside the tent asked, "Is the general inside?" ”

"Who's out there?" Er Zhuzhao was very dissatisfied and threw away the wine glass in his hand, wiped his hands that had just grabbed the big cow bone with a towel, and asked. Other generals in the tent, such as Erzhu Shilong, who were drinking with Er Zhu Zhao, also stopped eating and drinking.

Xie Sichun lifted the curtain, entered the tent, saw that everyone's cups were full of mess, and said with a smile: "The general is singing and banqueting all day long, and he has the taste of Yuan Benchu leading the princes of the Eighteenth Route to fight Dong Zhuo. ”

Er Zhuzhao couldn't understand what he said, so he immediately asked, "What do you mean by the military advisor?" You say that I can defeat Gao Huan and enter Beijing to assist the emperor like Yuan Benchu? ”

Xie Sichun was reluctant to talk to this illiterate person, so he diverted the topic and said: "General, we have been in Hedong for a while, and the grain and grass are gradually running out now, and it is very dangerous for 100,000 horses to eat Hedong, and now Gao Huan is blocking us, so that our army cannot enter Luoyang smoothly, we should find a way to let Gao Huan withdraw from the army to make way for us." ”

"Hahaha, the military advisor deserves to be a military advisor, come on, come on, tell everyone what plan you have to make He Liuhun get out of here?" Er Zhu Zhao was originally very dissatisfied with Xie Sichun's refusal to let him fight, so he was full of sarcasm.

Xie Sichun was not angry, stroked his beard and said: "It is not difficult to let Gao Huan retire from the army, the general only needs to write a letter by hand, and let him come to the army to meet in the name of the King of Heaven to discuss the important matter of avenging the King of Heaven." I see that even if Gao Huan doesn't dare to come, he won't have the face to stand in front of us. ”

This strategy is vicious, Gao Huan was cultivated by Er Zhurong single-handedly, and he does have the grace of knowing him, if he wears the hat of disobeying Er Zhu Zhao and not avenging the king of heaven, I am afraid that the people of the world will laugh at him Gao Huan in the future.

The letter was sent to Gao Huan, and Murong Heng said very firmly: "This is the Hongmen Banquet, and it will be dangerous to go or not." ”

A few days ago, Sun Teng came to Luoyang with the army from Yecheng, so now he is also in Gao Huan's army, and when he saw this, he immediately got up and said: "Third brother, you must not go, this Er Zhu Zhao is notoriously brutal, and Bill Zhu Rong is especially bad." There must be a trap and a conspiracy when he invites you to a banquet. What if you make a mistake, what will we do? ”

Gao Huan himself didn't want to go to Erzhu Zhaojun's banquet, but he was very young and vigorous in his heart, and he was very competitive with him, even if he was in Longtan Tiger's Den, he had to go hard. At the moment, he also said: "I understand everyone's worries, but if I don't go to the banquet, the crime is too big and the hat is too heavy, and I can't afford it." Besides, I don't believe that Zhu Zhao dared to kill me for no reason. ”

Murong Heng closed his eyes and said leisurely: "What the general said is reasonable. Then he opened his eyes and looked around at everyone and said, "But we must also be fully prepared to prevent Erzhu Zhao from taking risks." ”

At that moment, Gao Huan dictated, Murong Heng personally ghostwritten, replied to Er Zhuzhao that he would go to the meeting as scheduled, and then Shucheng asked the sergeant who sent the letter to bring it back to Er Zhuzhao.

Xie Sichun and Er Zhuzhao didn't expect this Gao Huan to agree so easily, so the two of them had a secret plan in the tent that night.

Early in the morning of the third day, Gao Huan took Sun Teng, Gao Yue and his entourage to Er Zhuzhao's camp, only to see a gatekeeper shouting arrogantly: "Where did you come from, you don't open your eyes, trespassing on our army's camp, aren't you in a hurry to die?" ”

Gao Huan rode the frog treasure horse, and immediately replied with his hand: "Please pass it on your behalf, and say that Gao Huan, the assassin of the Five Prefectures, came to talk to General Erzhu." If Gao Yue and the other entourages behind him hadn't been stopped by Sun Teng, they would have gone up to kill this guy a long time ago.

The school officer said with a frightened face: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please wait for the general, and I will go in and report to the general." Then he trotted into the barracks.

After a while, the camp door was opened, Xie Sichun came out with a few generals to greet Gao Huan, the two sides exchanged pleasantries in front of the camp gate, and after a while, Xie Sichun led Gao Huan and the six of them into the barracks. I saw the cavalry on both sides of the avenue lined up in two columns, looking at Gao Huan and his party. There was a solemn silence in the army, and all the men and horses were all in a murderous formation as if waiting for a review.

This Nima is showing off in front of me? Gao Huan smiled bitterly in his heart. I give 99 points to this forced pretend, and I give one less point because I am afraid that Zhu Zhao will be proud.

The group dismounted and came to the big tent, and the soldier at the gate said loudly: "Please take off your sabers and re-enter the big tent." Gao Huan was startled by a fierce snort, and scolded in his heart: Nima's security check is a security check, what are you shouting? If the security check in the airport terminal shouted so loudly in the previous life, it would be your fate if you were not kicked to death.

Everyone took off their sabers and weapons and handed them to the soldiers at the door, Xie Sichun lifted the curtain and made a gesture of invitation, and Gao Huan went in directly without saying a word.

Due to the dim light in the big tent, it took Gao Huan a while to get used to the light inside. I saw Er Zhu Zhao sitting on the high platform with an arrogant face, looking at Gao Huan and his party with great contempt, Er Zhu Shilong and other trusted generals sitting on both sides, and behind them stood a row of **** warriors with big axes in their hands, and the people in the tent were angry at Gao Huan and others.

Gao Huan raised his hand, his face was full of smiles, and he stepped forward to greet him cordially: "The general hasn't seen him for a long time, he is still so violent, so bold, let's meet and have a meal and let these knife and axe men accompany him, it really scared me He Liuhun to pee, scared to pee." Behind him, Sun Teng and Gao Yue were made to cry and laugh by Gao Huan's words, and when did they still have the heart to talk about it.

Er Zhu Zhao suddenly got up and said loudly: "Okay, you He Liuhun, ungrateful thing, I led the army into Beijing to avenge the king of heaven, but now you are in front of me and don't let me enter Luoyang, today I originally wanted to ask you if you have forgotten the king's promotion and appreciation of you, but you are talking nonsense here." The knife and axe man obeyed the order and hacked this mess to death for me. ”

Gao Huan was frightened when he heard this, Nima's really wants to kill me, this bastard doesn't play cards according to common sense, how can everyone continue to play?

I heard Sun Teng speak: "Wait, the general listens to me." Seeing that Zhu Zhao waved his hand, the knife and axe men who originally wanted to rush up and tear Gao Huan and the others alive stood back in place one after another. Sun Teng continued: "The original intention of the general to lead the army into Beijing was good, but we were afraid that the people of the world would misunderstand the general's intentions, so we stood up and pretended to block it, so that everyone could listen to the general's explanation of entering Beijing, and let the people of the world know the general's hard work." How dare we stop the general? ”

Xie Sichun also said at this time: "Since General Gao has no intention of stopping it, then immediately order the disbandment of the army and hand over the command of the troops, so that we can really believe that General Gao is a boatman with the same heart as our general." ”

You're so smart, Xie Sichun. Gao Huan hated this person at this time, and everything was done by this person. Therefore, a literati and ink writer can write poems and paint in the prosperous era, and he can't make a name for himself, but in troubled times, this kind of person often likes to fish in troubled waters and is very good at making trouble.

"It's unrealistic to hand over the command of the troops, everyone is not a child, but if you want me to get out of the way, I can consider it." Gao Huan is also a dead pig now, not afraid of boiling water, although those knife and axe hands stared at him viciously one by one, as if they could eat themselves alive with just one order. But I don't care, I've confessed it now, how can I bring troops when I go back? Whether to surrender or not to surrender the military power is death, then I will definitely choose to resist.

Er Zhuzhao looked at Xie Sichun, hoping that he would have a way to solve Gao Huan's stone in the. Xie Sichun stroked his beard and said meaningfully: "Well, since General Gao can let us pass, we don't care about the military power, originally we were under the command of the Heavenly King, and we are all a family." ”

Although Er Zhuzhao didn't understand what Xie Sichun was thinking in his head, the two discussed all the actions the night before and listened to Xie Sichun's arrangements. So he smiled at the moment: "Since they are all their own people, don't make a fuss, and invite General Gao to take a seat." The atmosphere eased.

Everyone sat down, three glasses of wine, the first course roasted whole sheep came up, only to see a half-human size of a cooked sheep taken off the grill, the whole placed in a wooden tray one meter long by two people to carry up and put in the center. I saw a cook swishing out a silver dagger and began to pick the mutton on the spot.

Gao Huan had a bit of the taste of eating roast mutton in a high-end restaurant in his previous life, and the chef operated it on the spot, cut the meat and cumin, put it on the plate, and sent it to Gao Huan. Gao Huan just wanted to eat a piece of greasy, smooth, crispy and tender mutton, but he saw Gao Yue behind him push his back, and Sun Teng on the side gave himself a look again. Lamb is poisonous?! Gao Huan was startled and quickly put down his chopsticks.

I only heard Er Zhu Zhao on the stage say with satisfaction: "Let's toast to the side of Qingjun in Luoyang tomorrow." Let the kabuki all sing and dance. After saying that, he took the lead and ate a bite of mutton, and then the generals below shook off their cheeks, opened their back molars, and ate and drank vigorously.

Gao Huan saw that everyone's face was full of oil, and he looked at Sun Teng with a depressed face and whispered, "This mutton is not poisonous?" Why don't you let me eat it? "Because Erzhu Zhao is the master, the rule of the Hu people is that the host can only eat when the guest does it." Sun Teng explained to him in a low voice. Your uncle's!

A group of dancing girls with scattered hair and dirty fur skirts came into the tent to dance, Er Zhuzhao and the others were very excited to see it, their eyes were full of lust, Gao Huan wondered about their aesthetics, this is a woman as dirty as a beggar can also cause their animal nature? How it is.

Gao Huan paid more attention to eating, the cooking taste of the Hu people is indeed different from that of the Han people, and it has a unique taste in the mouth.

Er Zhuzhao hugged the two beggar mothers-in-law left and right on the stage, and said with a satisfied face: "I said He Liuhun, no, I will call you a virtuous brother in the future, I like you very much." Don't go back today, just sleep with me for one night, and tomorrow you and I will go to Beijing together, and we will enjoy glory and wealth together, how about it? ”

Gao Huan was very disgusted with Er Zhuzhao's self-acquaintance, and he wanted to kill me just now, but this time he changed his name to call me a virtuous brother. When I find a chance, I'm sure you'll have a salty mouth. He replied: "I understand this kindness, but I am afraid of causing inconvenience to the general." ”

Er Zhuzhao looked drunk and said loudly: "What are you afraid of, there is nothing inconvenient with me, the virtuous brother just go to Beijing with me." "A virtuous brother screams, you are a few years younger than me! Gao Huan is a little out of appetite.

This is Sun Teng pulled Gao Huan's arm and said softly: "Third brother, you come with me." ”

The two got up one after the other and went to the toilet outside the tent to clean their hands, Luoyang's night was still very cold, Gao Huan shivered, Hula released water, and a burst of heat came up. On the side, Sun Teng said softly: "Third brother, we must not stay here tonight, we must find a way to leave, otherwise I am afraid that there will be many mistakes in the long night." With that, he looked back to see that there was no one.

Gao Huan thought the same thing in his heart, but he couldn't find a reason and excuse to shirk it for a while. At this time, Sun Teng said: "Now that there is no one to guard, you ride on the Frog Treasure Horse and leave, and Gao Yue and I will arrive later." ”

Sun Teng found a soldier's clothes for Gao Huan to change into, and the two came to the stable one after the other, Sun Teng pretended to scold: "You drunkard, the general brought you here for a banquet, you really got drunk and missed a big event, don't hurry back and don't embarrass the general here." After that, he kicked Gao Huan, slapped him with a horsewhip, and then let him get on the horse, slapped the horse's buttocks, and the frog horse ran towards the camp gate with a smoke.

The soldiers who watched the excitement on the side laughed one after another, thinking that this soldier was really embarrassed in the tent. Seeing that no one was suspicious, Sun Teng also sneaked back to the tent and called Gao Yue and the others, and left one after another.
