The reception banquet held for the envoy from Jizhou was very grand, more than 30 local celebrities and officials who celebrated Liu Cun's housewarming, as well as 20 civil and military officials under Liu Cun, gathered together with the guests who came from afar.

Halfway through the banquet, Liu Cun stepped down from the main seat again and toasted to Han Ju, who was happy.

Han Ju was very happy, and under the gaze of countless pairs of envious eyes, he stood up gracefully and fought with Liu Cun.

Liu Cun casually put the wine glass on the ground, took a step back and hugged his fists in salute, bowed deeply to Han Ju who was full of smiles, and made a sincere request:

"Brother is on top, the foolish brother and the brother under the command of the handsome brother Zhang Hexian brother at first sight, talk to each other very happily, deeply feel the fate, learned that Zhang Hexian brother is the brother of the handsome hand, with the brother will return to Jizhou in a few days, the foolish brother is very reluctant, thinking of this farewell, I don't know when and when to get together, the heart suddenly has a dull pain, as if lost, so I can only ask the brother to bear the pain of love!"

The hall was suddenly quiet, and the dozens of Qi County celebrities and Lu Mian who were invited to attend the banquet were even more surprised, and they all looked at Zhang He, who was sitting at the bottom, and found that the restless young man at the end of the table was not outstanding, thinking that if this lowly sergeant did not escort Han Ju to come, he would not be qualified to sit in the hall at all, I don't know what happened to Lord Assassin Shi, who was so humble and so solemn to ask for a mere sergeant from the distinguished guest?

Gongsun Pei, Guan Ning, Han Yang, Tai Shici and others knew that Liu Cun had always seen people accurately, and thought that during the banquet, Liu Cun stepped down from the main seat twice to toast the young Zhang He, who still didn't understand Liu Cun's intentions, and made eye contact with each other for a moment, and looked at Han Ju who was stunned with a smile.

Han Ju, who was full of red light, was stunned for a while before he understood what was going on, turned his head to look at Zhang He, who was at the end with a guilty face, turned to Liu Cun and smiled, and agreed very boldly:

"A humble squire, where is it worth asking for a virtuous brother? Brother Xian likes to take it, it is his blessing to be able to whip and feed the horse for Brother Xian, I have nothing else in Jizhou, such a general strong soldier abounds, haha! ”

Nearly half of the people in the hall laughed and praised Han Ju's generosity loudly, but no one noticed that Zhang He, who was at the bottom of the seat, was already flushed, his chest rose and fell violently, and his hands on his knees trembled slightly with shame.

Liu Cun solemnly bowed to Han Ju and thanked him, politely helped Han Ju to his position and sat down, turned around and announced loudly to the laughing guests:

"Because the imperial decree has not yet been issued, my Qingzhou soldiers do not dare to cross the border to fight without authorization, but the two states of Qingdao and Hebei depend on each other, like brothers, this official and the five million soldiers and civilians of Qingzhou, will not sit idly by and watch 120,000 thieves destroy Jizhou, this official decided: From tomorrow, send the Langya Navy Army and the Langya Chamber of Commerce fleet to transport 100,000 stone grain, 5,000 sets of Langya armor, 10,000 stainless steel spearheads, 2,000 strong bows and 500,000 arrows, enter the Yellow River by sea, transport them to the Yellow River ferry north of Puyang, and hand them over to the Jizhou Thorn History Han Wenjie, I hope it can be helpful to the military and civilians in Jizhou. ”

No one in the hall expected that Liu Cun would be so generous to the Han Fu brothers, and they couldn't help but look at each other and talk about it.

Han Ju was so excited that he quickly got up, bowed deeply to Liu Cun, and shouted with moist eyes and shouting at Brother Gaoyi.

Liu Cun humbly replied with a salute, strode to the excited Zhang He, stretched out his hand to support Zhang He, who quickly stood up and wanted to salute, and asked very seriously:

"Junyi, if the foolish brother appoints you as the lieutenant of my Langya cavalry, will the virtuous brother dare to lead our army with 5,000 iron cavalry out of the plain together with Taishi Ziyi, and fight a big battle with the Wuhuan cavalry under Zhang Ju, who is entrenched at the junction of Qingdao and Hebei?"

The hall was full of exclamations, Han Ju looked at Liu Cun and Zhang He who were holding each other in four hands in amazement, and shook his head suddenly, feeling so incredible.

Zhang He was so moved that he couldn't help himself, and immediately knelt down and shouted with tears: "Lord! Zhang He can only repay the kindness of the lord only if his liver and brain are smeared on the ground! ”

Liu Cun picked up Zhang He and earnestly advised: "Don't be like this, you not only have a full stomach of talent, but also a full of ambition to serve the country, what you lack is just an opportunity to let you fully display your talents, believe me, in a few years, you will be able to become the pillar of my Han army like Taishi Ziyi and Xu Wenxiang, and become a mighty general!" ”

Zhang He, who was in tears, was so moved that he couldn't speak, but just grabbed Liu Cun's hand tightly and nodded.

Liu Cun pressed Zhang He to his seat, returned to the front of his main seat, first saluted Han Ju, who was full of embarrassment, and turned to the embarrassed crowd and said loudly:

"Before the arrival of Lord Han, colleagues from all departments of the province and our army have been paying close attention to the battle situation in Jizhou, Xu Sheng Xu Wenxiang, the general of our army stationed in Pingyuan City, sent a probe horse every day to investigate the anti-thief army west of the plain to Qinghe in Jizhou, and was on strict alert, and in the past month, the cavalry scouts of our army have fought more than 50 times with the Wuhuan cavalry scouts under Zhang Ju, and found that the reason why Zhang Ju transferred Qiu Liju's 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry to the west of the plain is to deter our Qingzhou army, In order to stop my Qingzhou from sending troops to aid Lord Han Fu and Lord Gongsun Zhan. ”

Only then did everyone know that Liu Cun's full support for Han Fu was not a whim, Guan Ning, Han Yang, Tai Shici and others had already made a bamboo in their chests, all with smiles on their faces, and they were calm.

After a short period of astonishment, Han Ju couldn't help but quietly look at his senior brother Gongsun Pei who was sitting under him, and when he saw Gongsun Pei quietly waving his hand, he immediately understood, and immediately straightened his waist and looked at Liu Cun with blazing eyes.

Just listen to Liu Cun continue:

"At present, the imperial court has mobilized troops and horses from Yuzhou and Hanoi to aid Jizhou, and has not yet issued any order to my Qingzhou, and the lieutenant general and colonel of the army believe that it should be the imperial court that has seen the more than 100,000 yellow turban thieves gathered on the border of Qingzhou, which has caused great pressure on my Qingzhou, so it has not issued an order to Qingzhou to send troops to aid Jizhou, so that the soldiers and civilians of Qingzhou will wholeheartedly protect the territory and destroy the thieves."

"But the predecessor of the assassin Lord Huang said something, Lord Huang said: There must be a connection between the Qingyan Yellow Turban and the Youji rebels! In this regard, this official deeply agrees, after months of hard fighting, everything that happened in the north and south battlefields has completely confirmed the foresight of Lord Huang! You only need to recall the predicament of Qingzhou being attacked from both sides before, and then look at the dangerous situation of Jizhou being attacked from both sides now, and it should be clear at a glance. ”

"Exactly! In particular, the 50,000 Yellow Turban thieves in several counties in the north of Yanzhou have close ties with the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro north of the Yellow River and the rebels of Zhangju, and they have echoed each other from afar for several months, and they are extremely rampant! Han Ju was the first to shout, and the famous officials in the hall suddenly realized that they praised Liu Cun's foresight.

Liu Cun motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Today, when I learned that Lord Han was coming, this official urgently discussed with Mr. Gongsun Botao, Mr. Guan Youan, Mr. Han Zirou, General Taishi Ziyi, and the troops in the Fuzhong, and made two decisions: First, our Langya Army should not only provide food and ordnance assistance to Lord Han Wenjie and General Gongsun Zhan, but also establish close contacts; 2. Assemble 20,000 men and horses to defend the counties of the plain, and slowly press westward from tomorrow, forcing the rebels of Zhang Ju not to dare to launch a large-scale attack to the south with all their might. ”

"Our army will definitely do its best to contain the strongest and most ferocious Wuhuan cavalry among the rebels, and force this alien army that has penetrated into the hinterland of our Han to burn and loot to fight a decisive battle with me, and then reduce the pressure on Lord Han Wenjie's Jizhou Army and Lord Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou Army!"

Liu Cun paused slightly, raised his voice and made an inference with great confidence: "As long as the Wuhuan cavalry army is defeated, Zhang Ju's anti-thieves will face a three-way combined attack by our Han army. ”

"In this way, the Qingyan Yellow Turban immediately lost the echo of more than 100,000 anti-thieves in Jizhou, and it will inevitably plummet morale, and in the end there are only two ways to escape or fight to the death with my Qingyan two armies, as long as the Yellow Turban thieves dare to fight a decisive battle, I Liu Cun will dare to assert: The crisis in the south and southwest of my Qingzhou will be resolved after the decisive battle, and after that, the Yellow Turban thieves will not dare to step into my Qingzhou half a step!"

The cheers and applause rang out, Han Ju was so excited that he strode up to Liu Cun, and immediately drank three bowls with Liu Cun after thanking him, which once again attracted everyone's applause.

The wine banquet was dispersed, and the drunk Han Ju was taken home by Lu Mian in the car, and the excited Zhang He was pulled by Tai Shici and Xu Yan to continue drinking.

Liu Cun, who was happy with the general, was extremely excited, and Le Haha sent away Gongsun Pei and Guan Ning, who were overwhelmed by alcohol, and joined the banquet of the generals under his command.
