Chapter 21: Yu Poison's Anger
The imperial court sent Jizhou to assassinate Shi Hushou, because Yuan Shao stole his state, asking for no success, and was unwilling to remain silent, so he connected the two handsome men of Montenegro Yu Poison and Zhang Yan to gather in Montenegro to discuss the matter of attacking Yecheng. For this reason, Hushou set up a banquet to comfort the two handsomes. At this banquet, I saw that there was a staggered mix of funds everywhere, although it seemed to be a harmonious atmosphere, it was really a hidden situation.
Zhang Yan's two families are each called the marshal of Montenegro, and they think that they are the real leaders of the Montenegrin line, and they are the main vanguard of the rebellion against the imperial court after Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, so naturally no one is convinced. Speaking of which, the Montenegrin line was originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army of Zhangjiao, and because of the failure, they moved to the area of Montenegro and continued to resist the imperial court, so they are known as the Montenegrin Army. And because they are scattered everywhere and do not belong to each other, there is an inherent difference between the big and small commanders of each department. They are all based on Zhang Jiao, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, and they think that they are the real successors after Zhang Jiao. Therefore, although there are millions of Montenegrin forces, they are all dissatisfied with each other, and they all take the unification of Montenegro as their own responsibility, which shows that their relationship is really not much better. Otherwise, why did Zhang Yan immediately wave his troops to conquer all the ministries and marshals as soon as he took office, and take them for his own use, not to take Montenegro into his own pocket and make himself the 'Tiangong General' after Zhang Jiao?
The two sides of each ghost are now invited to one place by Hushou because of the same purpose, if it weren't for selling Hushou's face, I'm afraid that they would have fought a long time ago. Before the banquet, Hu Shou had also faintly heard about the discord between Zhang Yan and Yu Poison, and he was afraid that his two families would not give face, and it would be difficult to say if they quarreled at the banquet, so he deliberately met with Zhang Yan and Yu Poison and others alone, so that they should restrain their subordinates no matter what, give him a little face, and tell him not to make trouble during the banquet. And the two of them are still counting on Hushou for their future wealth, where is there any reason not to listen, so they naturally accept it and nod their heads in agreement.
Not to mention, at the beginning of the banquet, his two families did achieve 'courtesy', on the surface they were harmonious, even Hushou, an outsider, was deceived by their performance, thinking that the rumors outside were not credible, and the heartstrings that had been tight were loosened at this moment. However, when the wine was half-drunk, the heart he had just put down suddenly twisted again. On the surface, they are still talking and laughing, but after listening carefully, there is gradually a sharp edge hidden in the words between them, and there is clearly a sense of ridicule for each other, which makes Hu Shou feel bad to hear. Looking at it again, both of them were red-faced, and their mouths were speechless, as if they were preparing to go crazy with the strength of alcohol. Later, both of them spat at the mouth and did not say anything, and some even beat the wooden case with their hands, looking bitter and hateful.
Hu Shou's heart jumped, and he quickly raised his glass to persuade Zhang Yan and Yu to poison their wine, so as to suggest that both of them should restrain their own men and horses and abide by their previous agreement. And although Zhang Yan and Yu Poison verbally promised not to cause trouble, once they met, it was another matter. Thinking that the two of them can maintain such a long time of 'gentle and elegant', they think that they are very worthy of Hushou, and if they want to blindly pretend to it, I am afraid that it is not the personality of these reckless men.
Now, with the strength of eating and drinking, I can say everything that needs to be said. At the banquet, on Zhang Yan's side, there was a person shouting to everyone, saying that now all the marshals of Montenegro are under Zhang Yan's rule, and only a few scattered men and horses are still unrestrained. As soon as he said this, Zhang Yan only pretended not to hear it, and drank wine with Hushou, while his subordinates coaxed and praised one after another, and then began to persuade Yu Poison as if they were peacemakers.
On the poisonous side, they were naturally dumbfounded, and they didn't expect that Zhang Yan would want to take this opportunity to annex them. The other party put all his words on the bright side, and Yu Poison's side was naturally unconvinced, and they talked back, saying that Yu Poison had been the handsome of Montenegro for a long time, and it was earlier than Zhang Yan's debut, if it was based on qualifications, of course, it was their Yu Poison Commander who was the first to be the leader, and then persuaded Zhang Yan's side, so that Zhang Yan was inferior and obedient to Yu Poison, and merged the people into his Yu Poison side.
Zhang Yan's side was naturally not convinced, and someone immediately stood up, saying that they Zhang Dashuai had a million troops in his hands, and you Yu Poison Dashuai was only a few thousand people, just by virtue of this, Yu Poison Dashuai should be their Zhang Dashuai as the leader. As soon as they said this, Yu Poison's side naturally didn't want to judge it as a person, but they kept emphasizing their qualifications, and the two families insisted on their own words, almost to the point of drawing their swords to meet each other, but no one was frightened by anyone, and they shouted one after another, not letting a word. It was a good banquet, and it suddenly became smoky.
The subordinates on both sides of them scolded and scolded, but Zhang Yan and Yu Poison still didn't say a word, as if they had nothing to do with themselves, and they always let the noise below. The two of them were still able to calm down, but Hushou, as the master, couldn't hold his breath, afraid that the two of them would fight, so he quickly opened his eyes and looked at the two of them again, but the two of them were drinking wine with a wine cup and holding a dish, obviously deliberately avoiding him. Hushou was so angry when he saw that he was like this, and he was about to accuse Zhang Yan and the two, but just when his eyes fell on Zhang Yan's head, he suddenly paused again.
Speaking of which, who is the most powerful in this Montenegro, and that is not him Zhang Yan? Although Yu Poison is powerful, he also has the support of the Southern Huns, and then with his power, he will not be able to compete with Zhang Yan at all, if he offends Zhang Yan, I am afraid that he will not say that the dream of Jizhou will be in vain, but I am afraid that after getting it, he will not be able to make a big deal if he Zhang Yan is harassed in Jizhou. Thinking of this, Hu Shou could only throw the words that he was about to blame Zhang Yan to Yu Poison. At that moment, Hu Shou coughed heavily and said tepidly: "This ...... Yu Dashuai, you promised me before not to let your subordinates cause trouble, why is this happening now, why don't you come out and say something? ”
Yu Poison didn't know Hu Shou that he contacted Zhang Yan and his team privately, and he was angry in his heart, but he kept holding back and didn't spill it out. Now, when he heard Hu Shou say this, the anger in his heart was suddenly ignited by him, and he frowned coldly at the moment, and swallowed and said: "Why did the history of the pot thorn say this? You want to come here at this table, don't you know who started the trouble first? Do you know it, but you don't dare to say it, for fear of offending others? You use words to provoke me, but is it because you have a backer that you look down on me to someone? Hmph, what calculations do you have in your heart, don't I know yet? ”
Hu Shou was broken by his words, his face turned red, and his face suddenly couldn't hang up. Thinking about it, although he didn't get an inch of land, he was also the assassin of Jizhou under the title of the imperial court, when did it come to the time to make peace with a gang of thieves? Even if he doesn't give face, but he can't say this in front of everyone, he snorted twice, his heart was furious, and he suddenly slapped the wooden case, and shouted: "Yu Dashuai, you must be drunk, I think you might as well take your brothers down to rest first, and we will come to talk again when the wine wakes up!" ”
Yu Poison snorted heavily, put the cup on the wooden case as well, smashed it with a bang, and stood up. The people he brought thought that Yu Poison would just give in and turn around and leave, although they were not angry, they had to put down their cups and stand up one by one. Even Hu Shou, at that moment, he mistakenly thought that Yu Poison had listened to his persuasion and was about to leave. However, when he had just relaxed his vigilance, he suddenly saw Yu Yu take two steps and turn around, reaching out to grab the placket of his chest, he didn't even have time to avoid it, and was already grabbed by the other party's big slap. His sudden move was really beyond everyone's expectations, even the guards who were protecting both sides of Hushou were stunned, and when they reacted, they were about to draw their swords to help, when they saw Yu Poison 'get up' and dragged Hushou's body out of the pu mat, and behind Yu Poison, everyone reacted sensitively, and they rushed up one after another, stopping all the guards.
The sudden change alarmed the soldiers outside, and they rushed in one after another. And in this, in order to ensure the safety of the commander, Zhang Yan's subordinates all pulled out their blades, looking like they were facing a great enemy and waiting for the battle. All parties drew their swords, and the scene suddenly became solemn, as if as long as whoever made the first move, this bloody battle was inevitable. The pot shou who was caught out by Yu Poison was originally a literati, and he didn't have much courage, but when he was frightened by this, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Yu ...... In...... Yu Dashuai, what are you doing here, we have something to say, why ......"
"Humph!" Yu Poison snorted heavily at his face, glaring: "Don't talk nonsense!" I had some words that I didn't say in my stomach for a long time, but I just said them today. At the beginning, but I came to you first, and I wanted to say that I would protect you from Jizhou? You didn't agree to it at the time, but then you brought it up to me, and I agreed with it. Why, when you cooperate with me, you can't trust me, and how can you decide to find another helper without informing me? You're doing this, but you're taking me into account? Are you a fool when I am poisonous, so easy to bully! ”
The five fingers of one of his palms were stretched out, and they had already grabbed Hushou's neck fiercely, and with the rise of Yu's poisonous anger, the force between his fingers increased, and the suffocation between Hushou's throat gradually increased. He wanted to confess very much, and he wanted to beg Yu Poison for mercy, but he couldn't spit out his words, his face was purple, and he was about to be strangled to death by Yu Poison.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden scolding from outside the door, and a heavy voice came: "Stop! ”
