Chapter 30 Reaching out to the top

Cheng Yuanzhi died, the entire Yellow Turban Army was suddenly in chaos, Dong Zhuo's army took advantage of the situation to cover up, Zhao Hong couldn't resist the enemy, the army was defeated and retreated, Dong Zhuo's army took advantage of the situation to pursue, Zhao Hong, who was killed directly, fled back to Nanyang, the army lost its armor, countless casualties, embarrassed, Dong Zhuo's official army covered all the way, no one was invincible, the morale of the army was pushed to the peak, Zhao Hong was broken in one go, Zhao Hong retreated to Nanyang and defended it, no longer fighting, in a defensive state, Dong Zhuo's army surrounded Nanyang, ready to attack the city, and the two sides began to enter the stage of stalemate.

Nanyang County is the second largest county in the eastern part of the Kanto, the population is second only to the capital Luoyang, as the central county of Yuzhou, the status of Nanyang is very important, as a large county in the Central Plains, this Nanyang West Union Sanfu, south of Jingzhou, east of Yanzhou, north of Hebei, is the gateway of the imperial capital Luoyang, the strategic position is very important, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, since ancient times is the place where soldiers must fight, the Yellow Turban Army occupies Nanyang directly threatens the security of the imperial capital Luoyang, although this traitor is not the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, but they occupy the key city, Therefore, Dong Zhuo's attack on Nanyang is not only a simple military operation, but also a political war related to the fate of the country, the weight of which Dong Zhuo is very clear, if he fails, it will not only cause the Yellow Turban Army to make a comeback and make a comeback, but his political life will also be greatly affected. Victory is necessary at all costs, because without victory there is no survival.

The battle of Nanyang is of great significance, the imperial court also sent an envoy to Dong Zhuo's army to supervise the war, Dong Zhuo knows the energy of the envoy to supervise the war, this kind of person can not afford to offend, so he must be bought with a lot of money, this is his Dong Zhuo's forte, he has been mixed on the official road for so many years, he knows the "unspoken rules" in the officialdom, the envoy just arrived, the two of them greeted each other, Dong Zhuo arranged a reception banquet in the army camp to pay the envoy, this envoy is named Zuo Feng, is a well-known guy in the capital who eats meat and does not spit out bones, and the wealth is terrible, Dong Zhuo also knew the name of this person in the officialdom, so he didn't dare to slack off, and no one could offend the people around the emperor if he offended, especially this insatiable villain

When Zuo Feng first arrived in Nanyang, Dong Zhuo set up a banquet for him, what raw seafood, what Manchu and Han feasts, what birds and beasts, what delicacies from the mountains and seas, it can be said that he has done everything, this banquet can be called the pomp and circumstance in the palace, and the emperor is nothing more than that! This is the result of Dong Zhuo's special arrangement of ten cooks after two days of preparation, Zuo Feng sat down at the moment, and when he saw this banquet, he immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face, not only the food was rich, this wine was a must, all of them were more than ten years old, this is the grain of Longxi, the wine is sweet, stretches and pure, and the aroma hits people, Zuo Feng likes it even more when he sees this, and then Dong Zhuo arranged for all his civil and military ministers to sit down to accompany Zuo Feng to eat the banquet, this group of people are Li Ru, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Guan Yun, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Su, Niu Fu, among which Li Ru and Niu Fu are his sons-in-law, and the rest of the people are his right-hand men, so they are all cronies.

Guan Yun was invited to participate in the reception banquet as the fourth, which is enough to witness Dong Zhuo's respect and trust in him, as a young man who has just debuted for three years, it can be said that it is really not easy, this table belongs to his youngest, but he can come to this point by his own ability, step by step to this position, Guan Yun walked rightly, walked upright, this Dong Zhuo is also very appreciative, this time let him come out to drink with the court officials, It can also be said that it is a chance to give him an audience, to give him a chance to perform, to know that Lu Dao can contact the senior members of the court and is the emperor's envoy, this is definitely a rare opportunity for promotion, just from this point can show Dong Zhuo's reliance on this young man. …,

This is the first time Guan Yun has come into contact with a member of the imperial court in his life, just like seeing a modern central official, he feels honored, although this person's reputation is not good, but he as a member of the imperial court still attracted Guan Yun's attention, he was fortunate to meet the important ministers of the imperial court, this is not an ordinary thing, maybe it can only happen on TV in modern times, but now he really sees and feels, this "immersive" feeling is visually incomprehensible, Guan Yun is an enterprising person, but also a person who knows how to pursue, and this time he encountered an opportunity, he naturally had to seize this opportunity.

The opening remarks of the whole banquet were presided over by Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo said to everyone: "The arrival of the Zuo Governor this time is an unprecedented honor for my army, so this glass of wine allows us to toast to the arrival of the Zuo Governor!" After that, he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all to Zuo Feng and his subordinates, and everyone raised their glasses to drink it all when they saw this, Zuo Feng did not toast but took a big sip to show his dignity.

After drinking this cup, Zuo Feng picked up the wine bottle and said to Dong Zhuo and the others: "It is rare for Hedong Hou to be so hospitable today, and it is a blessing in life to meet everyone, I respect you for this glass of wine, I will do it first!" After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

Dong Zhuo and the others saw that Zuo Feng had dried up the wine, and the wine in the cup that had just been poured had to be drunk in one go, but in fact, Zuo Feng had killed the remaining wine from before, and Zuo Feng drank it twice before he drank a glass of wine, but everyone did two in a row.

Dong Zhuo saw that Zuo Feng finished drinking, and hurriedly poured Zuo Feng full, and then poured a full glass himself, and everyone was also full of wine, Dong Zhuo just wanted Zhang Luo, at this time Zuo Feng spoke: As a meritorious minister of pacifying the Yellow Turban, you have made great contributions and shared a lot of sorrows for the court. After speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, everyone looked at Dong Zhuo when they saw this, after all, this is their own head, everyone wants to see how Dong Zhuo drinks, Dong Zhuo quickly understood, only to see that he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, and it was dry! Seeing this, everyone also picked up their wine glasses and drank them all.

This is the third glass of wine that everyone has drunk, and even the people who have done three of them don't feel a little drunk, you must know that these three wines are equivalent to a catty! That is, everyone drank a pound of wine! And Zuo Feng only drank a glass and a half, but only four taels, his face did not change color and his heart did not beat, and he did not have any drunkenness, Dong Zhuo saw that Zuo Feng was not drunk at all, so he poured Zuo Feng full of wine, and poured the fourth glass of wine himself, and picked up the wine bottle and said to Zuo Feng: "You and I are both officials in the imperial court, and our personal relationship is very strong, this time you came from afar, I specially set up this feast, just for the arrival of the old man, I will salute you alone with this glass of wine, and toast to our friendship!" ”
