"Lord, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao invites the lord to a banquet!"

Wang Hu pushed open the tent door and said with his fists clenched.

Shang Ji and Guo Jia next to him glanced at each other, and their faces were full of helplessness of "here again".

It has been eight days since Shang Ji arrived at the sour jujube, and in eight days, he has participated in thirteen banquets, and the one invited by Yuan Shao is the fourteenth!

The Shang Ji felt distressed for the princes. Tens of millions of troops were stationed here by wartime standards, and every day people ate horses and chewed horses, and the food consumed was an astronomical amount. Although the military rations were jointly borne by the heroes, a large amount of supplies were consumed for every day of delay, which made the merchants feel sorry for it.

However, the princes did not have this consciousness at all, and continued to feast and drink every day.

If you're discussing business, that's fine, but this feast is just about eating and drinking, listening to music and watching singing and dancing, and it's like an outing, and nothing important is done.

It can be said that Shang Ji has participated in more banquets in the past few days than in the past year!

Guo Jia smiled helplessly, and said to Shang Ji: "Lord, let's go, otherwise others will say that we don't know etiquette!" ”

Shang Ji shook his head with a wry smile and got up to prepare for the banquet.

Shang Ji was not afraid of falling out with the princes, but it would be ridiculous to break up because he "didn't want others to invite guests to dinner".

On the way, Shang Ji and Guo Jia chatted while walking. In this expedition against Dong Zhuo, the Shang Ji army dispatched 300,000 troops, but Xi Zhicai did not come, and Guo Jia took over the post of military advisor and served as the think tank of this expedition.

"Lord, according to Jia's estimate, this kind of daily feasting and drinking should be coming to an end."

"Oh? How can Feng Xiao see? ”

Shang Ji became interested and asked in a low voice.

"My lord, the heroes gather here to feast and drink all day, not because the princes are idle and bored, but through the banquet to form gangs and factions, and to convey benefits. After such a long period of consultations, it is time to come up with a rough plan. As soon as there is a result, the war will really begin! ”

"Forming a clique? Conveyance of benefits? ”

Shang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked, "Why didn't anyone come to woo the general!" ”

But as soon as the words came out, Shang Ji smiled. In his condition, who can win him over!

Not to mention anything else, he is the official general of Zuo, the pastor of Pingzhou, the marquis of Ning, sitting on the two states of Pingchen, the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and the territory is thousands of miles, who can be qualified to win him over?

And he only brought 300,000 troops to participate in the discussion of Dong, and it was clear that he was here to join in the fun. For this kind of person who can't afford to provoke and doesn't have much to do with himself, it's better to offer it high.

In fact, Shang Ji had a premonition before, and the princes were very respectful to themselves, but the respect always revealed estrangement.

Soon, everyone came to Yuan Shao's handsome tent, and Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan greeted the guests outside the big tent, and saw Shang Ji hurriedly greeted him: "Ning Hou, you are finally here, the full house of guests is waiting for Ning Hou himself!" ”

Shang Ji smiled and didn't speak, and Gao Gan welcomed Shang Ji in very politely.

Before he could enter the big tent, he heard the sound of staggering in the tent.

When the waiter at the door of the big tent saw Shang Ji coming, he immediately helped open the door of the tent, and at the same time, the waiter in charge of the roll call shouted at the top of his voice: "Ninghou, General Zuo, and Pingzhou Herdsman have arrived!" ”

All the princes stood up to salute, and Shang Ji also responded one by one.

After taking a seat, there were waiters who immediately brought delicacies, fine wines, and ingredients that were all rare treasures, and Shang Ji also saw the special Lingmi of Pingzhou and the high-grade wine of the special products in the area controlled by Dong Zhuo.

As far as the food and wine in front of Shang Ji are concerned, they will definitely not be able to get down without five hundred gold.

There were as many as nineteen princes present, and there were some celebrities who were not princes, but had a high reputation, and Yuan Shao had to spend at least 20,000 gold coins on this feast and simple wine and food, and the total consumption had to go to 50,000 yuan!

This kind of extravagant way makes the wealthy businessmen smack.

And each prince is accompanied by at least five good-looking maids to provide intimate service, and all kinds of novel gameplay make Shang Ji's old hat stunned, and it can only be said that the fourth and third princes are worthy of being a wealthy family, and they can play!

The banquet lasted for two hours, during which the drinking and music were non-stop, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music continued, the literati princes and celebrities headed by Kong Rong also gave poems to help the fun, and watched the dancing girl performance (God knows why Yuan Shao would bring a large number of dancing girls when the army marched to war), and the waiter presented a large number of precious melons and fruits for enjoyment.

In the end, Yuan Shao clapped his hands, a large number of waiters highlighted the big tent, and those celebrities who acted as mascots also left the venue with great interest, leaving the princes and the princes' close confidants. happy

Yuan Shao, who was sitting at the top, suddenly spoke: "Dong thief has no way, conspired with the Yellow Turban thief to assassinate the first emperor (Meng's, detain basin), steal the imperial court, up to His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, down to the hundred officials and the people, all of whom were brutalized by him, and his crimes are unforgivable!"

My father, my uncle, and more than 50,000 people in the family were all murdered............"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao began to choke, and tears fell down. Looking at the sad posture as if he couldn't stand, who would have thought that five minutes ago he was still happily feasting with the princes?

It can only be said that the princes are all actors!

The narrator's senior cadres hurriedly supported Yuan Shao, and the princes under him also stood up to comfort him.

Under the persuasion of the princes, Yuan Shao finally "cheered up" and continued: "Today, our loyal and righteous people are gathered here to comply with the last wishes of Duke Lu, crusade against Dong Thief Kuangfu Han Dynasty, and return the world to a prosperous world!" ”

"General Yuan said it well, Kuang Fu Han and kill Dong thief, this is the destiny of my generation!" As soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, someone said loudly.

Shang Ji followed the prestige, and it turned out to be Yuan Shao's hardcore younger brother Yuan Yi!

Yuan Yi Yuan Shao, just listen to the name and know that these two people are related by blood, in fact, Yuan Yi is Yuan Shao's cousin, but Yuan Yi has been Yuan Shao's little follower since he was a child, even if he becomes a prince.

"Yes, yes, what I said at the beginning is good, Dong Thief and I have a common enmity, and if I don't eat his flesh raw, I will be a person in vain!"

"What General Yuan said is very true, if Dong thief is not removed, the world will be uneasy!" This time it was Wang Kuang who spoke out.

Immediately afterwards, the princes spoke out one after another, all agreeing with what Yuan Shao said, all of them were righteous and awe-inspiring, as if they had really become loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.

Shang Ji watched coldly like this, watching the funny performances of the princes.

After a while, Wang Kuang suddenly said: "Today, if you raise an army to punish the thief in the name of righteousness, you will set up the leader of the alliance, and the generals will respect his order and then march into the army, and you will be able to destroy the Dong thief Kuang to help the Han family!" ”

"It's coming, it's finally to the point!"

Shang Ji was shocked when he heard this, and finally raised some interest.

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "The fourth and third princes of the original brother, the protégés are all over the world, and after the famous minister of the Han Dynasty, the first brother should bravely shoulder the heavy burden and lead the group to punish Dong Kuanghan!" ”

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with joy, and then he calmed down and said: "No, General Zuo is in a high position, has won a hundred battles, and has a great reputation, so General Zuo should be the leader of the alliance!" ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Shang Ji with a look of hope.

However, Shang Ji was very keenly aware of the nervousness in Yuan Shao's eyes.

Shang Ji knew that this was his means of resignation, and he was amused in his heart, not knowing that he agreed to it like this, what would happen to Yuan Shao?

However, Shang Ji knew that as long as he only brought 300,000 troops, it was impossible for the position of alliance leader to fall on his head.

smiled and got up and said: "The soldiers are few and far between, and the soldiers are completely loyal and inspired by Lu Gong, and they dare to covet the position of the leader of the alliance, don't be joking!" ”

Seeing Shang Ji's resignation, Yuan Shao was obviously relieved, and then turned to look at Lu Bu: "Feng Xian's courage is known to the world, and he inherited Lu Gong's last wish, why don't you let Feng Xian be the leader of this alliance?" ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then got up with a happy face, and just as he was about to speak, Chen Gong next to him coughed lightly. The joy on Lu Bu's face immediately disappeared, and he postponed: "How can Bu Hede be the leader of the alliance, I think this alliance leader must be the original brother!" ”

"Brother Xuande is a clan member of the Han family, and the position of the leader of this alliance will be held by Brother Xuande!"

Liu Bei waved his hand again and again: "Absolutely not, absolutely not, the original brother must be prepared." If you can be satisfied with the thief Kuang Han with all the loyal and righteous people, dare you covet the position of the leader of the alliance? ”

"Brother Meng De is the host, and the leader of this alliance ......"

Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, Cao Cao immediately got up and said: "Brother Ben, according to me, the position of the leader of the alliance is none other than Brother Ben, so don't postpone Brother Ben anymore!" ”

"Yes, yes, it has to be General Yuan!"

Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi, Zhang Miao and others made noise one after another, shouting that it was none other than Yuan Shao. Although some of the princes were unwilling, they did not dare to speak out against it.

Yuan Shao's face was even more happy, and finally said: "Shao is ashamed, thanks to your trust, he is cheeky to temporarily act as the leader of the alliance, and in the future, a virtuous and virtuous talent will be born, and Shao will give way again!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the position of the leader of the alliance fell on Yuan Shao's head, whether it was close to Yuan Shao or hostile to Yuan Shao, they all stepped forward to congratulate at this time.

Shang Ji looked at this noisy scene, and felt extremely glad that he didn't invest too many troops to participate in the fight against Dong.
