Chapter 501: The Great Tent
"Mission: Serve wine. Mission Description: Serve the wine to the Chinese Army Council Hall and wait for the lieutenants to drink it. Reward:??. Difficulty: ??。 ”
When Li Jianqiang held the tray, the fingers of the palms of his hands trembled unconsciously, not because he had been holding the tray for a long time, but because he was afraid. He was afraid, especially when the wait became incomparably long, and with each passing moment, the fear of the unknown increased.
Li Jianqiang didn't look strong at this time, and the liquor in the four wine glasses on the tray reverberate, and circles of ripples spread out in the glasses, constantly hitting the rim of the glass. He struggled to keep his hands balanced, and once any of the wine glasses on the tray fell, Li Jianqiang knew exactly what would happen to him.
At that time, he almost didn't have to wait, almost a dead end, the difference was just how to die. Although he is still waiting now, it does not mean that the result is death, even if he knows that the atmosphere in the council hall is very tense now, but what the final result will be, whether it is still tense with his imagination, until the violent collision, is still unknown.
Waiting, waiting for a long time, the fear fades and turns into numbness. When he arrived here, Li Jianqiang suddenly had some regrets, if he hadn't joined the side of the Ten Standing Servants for that rich reward, he wouldn't have to suffer so much now.
"Ten eunuchs who are raised by bitches, sores on the soles of their feet, pus in their mouths, and no ** eunuchs who gave birth to children, eunuchs!" Li Jianqiang's side Li Tianqiang scolded hatefully, cursing the ten permanent servants with the most vicious words he felt, especially Jian Shuo in the council hall behind him now, and their task publishers accounted for part of this.
Li Jianqiang nodded silently beside him, expressing his approval. In any case, since the two brothers and sisters have accepted this task and are standing here, they have no other choice. In front of them, there were several soldiers staring at them, and there was almost no way to make other small movements, or even escape.
Why do you think some people are so miserable? Li Jianqiang refocused his attention on the wine glass on the tray in his hand, which was a wine glass made of celadon, which was very ordinary, at most the lines on the wine glass were a little more numerous, and it looked more extraordinary. But no matter how extraordinary it looks, it is just a wine glass, a cup used to hold wine, and the wine inside is the main one.
A small glass of wine, the wine is clear, and you can see the white inside of the glass. Such a small glass of wine is only enough for ordinary people to drink it all as soon as they raise their heads, but they are afraid that they will not even have a little sense of wine. In the tavern in Luoyang City, the wine may not be as good as the wine in the current cup, but any guest in those taverns will have more wine in the cup than the eight cups here combined.
This is a small cup, the cup used by the literati and scholars to sip lightly, and the guests in the tavern use the same cup, but when used to describe it, it is more similar to a bowl. Therefore, anyone who comes here and drinks these eight glasses of wine will only smack their lips and feel not very enjoyable.
But when he knew who prepared the wine and who it was for, no one dared to take a dip. Even the most ordinary wines, when you get here, you will feel that the wine is not ordinary, not to mention that these wines are very likely to have a special taste.
Li Jianqiang took a deep breath, looked at each other and smiled bitterly with his brother Li Tianqiang, both of them were infected by the bitterness on each other's faces and hearts, and the bitterness became stronger and stronger. Little shrimp like them, it is estimated that no one pays too much attention to them, I just hope that if something happens, the characteristics of this little shrimp can make them safe and sound.
The council chamber is said to be a chamber, but in fact it is just a tent that occupies a huge area, which is in the barracks of the forbidden army in the West Garden, and belongs to the tent of the Chinese army in the West Garden. Since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty reset the forbidden army in the West Garden, many soldiers in the West Garden, all the training, have been carried out in the barracks, and whenever there is a major decision, or a routine military meeting, they will come to the tent of the Chinese army.
At this time, outside the tent of the Chinese army, the soldiers of the seventh captain, who were in a different direction from the two players, but were also waiting, looked at the tent of the Chinese army solemnly. Of course, there are some pro-soldiers who don't care about the safety of their own captains, but it's just that their main general is in a neutral position, and they belong to the kind of people who both sides are trying to win over.
That is only a few, among the eight captains in the West Garden, there are four captains on He Jin's side, and at least one of the other three captains in the remaining three is biased towards He Jin, and only in this way can he compete with the nominal controller of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, and the captain Jian Shuo, who has the most soldiers among the eight captains.
However, now, when the eight captains are gathered and come by military order, no one knows what kind of situation will occur. Most likely, this is a Hongmen banquet, a conspiracy by Jian Shuo to eradicate dissidents and collect all the military strength of Xiyuan.
There is a possibility, but it is not too big, but as long as there is a slight possibility, it is worth the attention of the captains. Especially at this juncture, many people have smelled a sense of impending a storm, and at this time, the behavior of gathering the eighth lieutenant is really extremely abrupt, and it is still in the name of military discussion. You know, in fact, three days later, it was a routine military meeting, so what did Jian Shuo do, so anxious, that he couldn't wait for three days?
There are many questions, which are what the captains who have stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army are worried about, because they are worried, so no matter who they are, when they come to the Xiyuan Barracks this time, they all bring their own personal soldiers and personal guards. Even if they entered the big tent of the Chinese army, these personal soldiers and guards were directly waiting outside the big tent and entered a state of imminent battle. As long as there is anything unusual, they will kill into the tent of the Chinese army and rescue their main general.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are also waiting, among these vigilant people. They were originally going to follow Cao Cao into the Chinese army's tent, but Cao Cao refused, so they had to wait outside.
They are also all preparing, once there is a mutation, they will immediately enter the Chinese army tent, rescue Cao Cao, and take him away from the Chinese army tent. At the same time, they are also preparing to kill Jian Shuo, as long as Jian Shuo kills the other captains, they don't mind slaughtering this eunuch easily.
The reorganized Xiyuan Forbidden Army, in the eyes of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, has been trained for a period of time, and its combat effectiveness is there, but that's it. Even if Jian Shuo vigorously cultivated, the elite sergeants under his command were still not worth mentioning in the eyes of the two.
I have never seen blood, I have experienced the battlefield, no matter how elite I am, it is always like pasting with paper. If Jian Shuo wanted to use these "elite soldiers" under his command to do something, then he would probably suddenly despair.
"Miaocai, did you just see it?" Xiahoudun crossed his hands in front of his chest, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"See, those two big men who followed behind Yuan Benchu seem to be very strong." Xiahou Yuan was a little eager to try.
In his opinion, as long as they are strong, they are interesting opponents. It would be nice if he could fight against it, but under the current situation, it was not possible, and Xiahou Yuan felt a little regretful in his heart.
"It seems that Yuan Benchu has been prepared." Xiahoudun said, and the worry in his heart was much less.
Yuan Benchu has two fierce generals by his side, which means that he is on guard, even if Jian Shuo suddenly makes a dead move, even if those two fierce generals are useless, as long as they can delay for some time, it will be good. In Xiahoudun's opinion, as long as he and Xiahou Yuan were given a little time, no matter how dangerous the predicament, they would be able to get Cao Cao out intact.
The big tent of the Chinese army in front of him is not a Longtan tiger's den. Of course, the reason why they did not follow Cao Cao into the Chinese army's tent was not only for this reason, but also because of Cao Cao's requirements and their trust in the eldest brother.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Jian Shuo spoke, with a slight smile on his face, "Captains, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Jian Shuo didn't look like a eunuch, but like a condensing general, especially when he put on armor and stood in the big tent of the military camp, he opened his mouth at this moment, and he had a temperament similar to that of an iron-blooded general who killed on the battlefield. Coupled with the fact that his body is not thin and thin like most eunuchs, this is the reason why Emperor Han Ling chose him to be the head of the eight captains of the West Garden.
In addition to trust, among the entire ten permanent servants, it is no longer possible to find a eunuch who understands military affairs and can do martial arts. Jian Shuo did not live up to the trust of Emperor Ling of Han, he firmly grasped most of the military power of the forbidden army in the West Garden, cut off the hand that He Jin stretched out, and at the same time forced the other captains to unite together in order to be able to compete with it.
"Captain Jian, why did you convene our captains to discuss today?" Yuan Shao asked out loud.
The other lieutenants in the big tent also cast puzzled glances at Jian Shuo. Of course, they were confused, and after getting the military order that came, everyone was at a loss, and they couldn't figure out what Jian Shuo was going to do, so they could only be secretly vigilant.
Even if they don't want to come, they must come, and the rules of the army are not something that anyone can violate. Jian Shuo is the head of the eight captains, and has the power to mobilize the other seven captains, and no one wants to fall into the handle at this time, otherwise Jian Shuo will be executed by the punishment in the army, which is also very likely.
Jian Shuo continued to smile, his gaze swept behind Yuan Shao without a trace, and when he saw the two strong men with powerful looks and majestic bodies, his pupils shrank unconsciously. Originally, the Chinese army's big tent was not allowed to enter with other people, and only qualified people in the army could attend it.
Jian Shuo wanted to use this excuse to take back Yuan Shao's military power, but he didn't dare, he was afraid. With the background of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, it is destined that Yuan Shao is not a captain who can be easily kneaded, although the family background of the fourth and third princes is a fart in the eyes of their ten permanent servants, but it is not the right time.
Doing it now is just forcing others to resist, and he must seize an opportunity to catch them all. From the time Jian Shuo mastered the military power of Xiyuan, he was not prepared to give the military power in his hands to anyone, but because of the beginning of the reorganization of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, in order to balance the many forces in the court, His Majesty had to seal out the official position of the other seventh captain. But that's just an expedient measure, even more so in Jian Shuo's eyes, now in Luoyang City, only those who have the power and soldiers in their hands can control their own destiny and the fate of others!
"The captains have been summoned today for the purpose of patrolling the city. His Majesty has ordered the Xiyuan Forbidden Army to participate in the patrol of Luoyang City, and today's matter is to patrol the city and the candidates for the captain. ”
"Decree?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, he looked at Jian Shuo, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.
He has now become the spokesperson of He Jin, one of the eight captains of the West Garden, and at the same time, he is also the leader of many captains against Jian Shuo. No matter what Jian Shuo wants to do in the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, he is the one who sings against him, which not only makes Jian Shuo jealous, but also feels a great threat.
When Yuan Shao entered the Chinese army's tent at the beginning, Jian Shuo's soldiers asked Yuan Shao to enter the Chinese army's tent alone, and he could not carry any weapons. But it didn't have any effect on Yuan Shao, and the soldiers who blocked Yuan Shao at that time became a few wounded people lying on the ground.
slapped in the face, Jian Shuo was slapped in the face once at the beginning. He could feel the burning and pain on his face with a snapping sound, which he couldn't easily forget.
It was precisely because Yuan Shao took the lead that the other captains entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and they also brought one or two personal guards, and they also carried swords with them. There was only Cao Cao, Jian Shuo paused when he looked at Cao Cao, only he did not bring any personal guards to enter the Chinese army's big tent, and only wore a sword.
Jian Shuo couldn't help but have a good impression of Cao Cao, but this good feeling did not have any other effect, because Jian Shuo's willingness to control the forbidden army in the West Garden was so resolute. Even the two lieutenants who had always maintained a neutral stance, Jian Shuo had to clean them up, and he never trusted them.
looked at Yuan Shao, waiting for his answer, and waiting for himself to reveal his flawed face. Jian Shuo didn't have a trace of panic, how could he not think of this?
He took out the hand he had been carrying behind his back, took a step forward, reached over the lid of the wooden box on the large tent table, and gently lifted it.
When he saw Jian Shuo's movements, Yuan Shao's brows jumped, it was obvious that Jian Shuo must have the emperor's edict, otherwise he would never be so calm!
