Chapter 309: Hongmen Banquet! Child of Destiny? [Location: Underground Dark River / Volcano Recovery]
Pig Killing Dish...... Hongmen Banquet...... Eat and drink.
As soon as the county guard government invited, many big families in the city were immediately frightened, trembling and frightened, with bitter faces, all looking forward to making trouble with a stunned youth.
But in the face of the force of the Qingliang Bandit Alliance, many big families with brains in the city, no one wanted to drive for the king, and they all put on a smiling face and came to the banquet.
Send a military banquet.
In the Jiuquan County Guard's Mansion, many servants ushered in the send-off, bringing plates of delicacies, grilled carp, braised sheep's tail, steamed bear's paws, sauced duck, bacon, and roasted braised chicken...... and all kinds of wine, but whatever is available in Jiuquan County, there are all kinds of tables.
The hearts of the big businessmen were full of resentment, and in the face of a large table of delicacies, they were not interested, and after barely eating a few bites, they put down the bowl and complained:
"General Xin is also too much, it is a rat infestation, and each family has more or less suffered a disaster, and he is still doing this? Hongmen Feast?"
"Return the Hung Gate Feast?"
"It's obviously slaughtering our little people as pigs!"
"Brother Li, you get up and react to General Xin, right? If he takes too much money and food in one go, our sons will be disarmed and returned to the field at once!"
"That's not possible, Naigong was hit by an arrow in his knee a few days ago, and his body is uncomfortable, so please take the lead, Brother Zhao, I am willing to follow Brother Zhao and go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up!"
Jiang Chen sat in the corner, enjoying a table of food alone, listening quietly, but without speaking, only when he heard the last two sentences, he couldn't help laughing.
Which of you doesn't have a lot of money?
Also worthy of being called a little common man?
If you really have the courage to argue with the dignified Wuhou, you can be regarded as a character, but you are good, one by one, you are looking forward to others to die!
"It's just a rabble......
Jiang Chen secretly commented:
"It won't work!"
Everywhere at the wine table, the more the discussion became more and more intense, and there was an old man who even put on the appearance of beating his feet and chest, and said sadly:
"All this money and food have been looted by our ancestors for generations...... Bah, how can the hard work and wealth saved can be used as military funds in vain?"
Others chimed in:
"Our Jiuquan Li family, although it is a branch, but the main family also has a General Li, who is also a martial marquis, so what are you afraid of?"
"Then you Li family, squeak first?"
"Hey, didn't Naigong just say that he was hit by an arrow in the knee, why are you embarrassed to let an injured person take the lead in the charge?"
When Xin Longzi strode into the front hall, everyone immediately changed their faces, stood up obediently, and bowed, including the Li family who was "shot in the knee".
"I've seen General Thorn!"
"You don't have to be rigid about etiquette, just sit down."
Xin Longzi said and sat at the main table.
Wei Anguo and Zhang Baisui were seated in the left and right seats respectively.
The momentum of the three of them was like a dragon beating a tiger, and they overwhelmed the more than 100 big businessmen present, and they couldn't breathe.
"Huh."
Jiang Chen didn't bother to pay attention to these mundane things, and silently enjoyed the food at the table.
And Xin Longzi's side, with the support of the nine thousand Qingzhou Army, has a lot of confidence, and said coldly:
"The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first."
"This general is going out of the city to suppress bandits, and he urgently needs 100,000 stone of military rations in case of emergency, but all the rice and grain in the official warehouse are corroded by the damned rats, I don't know what you think?"
At this time, the Li family in Jiuquan saw that they refused to speak left and right, so they had a cold face, took the lead in making trouble, bowed their waists, and said with a smile on their faces:
"General Xin, our Li family has already transported all the grain and grass in the clan to Hexi Guancheng, and General Li has signed for it, so there is really no surplus grain!"
Word:
The landlord's family has no surplus food!
Moreover, their Jiuquan Li family has the support of General Li who guards Hexi Pass (Jiayiyu and Yiguan) behind them, which is not easy to mess with.
The rest of the big businessmen, seeing that someone came forward, also echoed it:
"General Xin, my precious son, is in your army, serving as the five hundred masters, in order to support the development of this stinky boy, the family's money and food are almost consumed, can't you let this kid temporarily disarm and return to the field, and then save the money and food, right?"
"My family is willing to give 1,000 stone of grain to support General Xin's suppression of bandits, but that's all the food my family can come up with, and I hope General Xin's men will show mercy."
The strategy adopted by this person was to regard the children of the army as the "united front value", hoping that General Xin would reduce some shares.
Plainly.
It's a dead friend who doesn't die and a poor man!
But this time, Xin Longzi didn't panic at all, after all, this time to suppress bandits, he was just carrying a thousand elite cavalry.
The remaining 9,000 infantry soldiers are all Qingzhou Army.
Xin Longzi sneered:
"Bring the list!"
The two pro-soldiers immediately understood, and handed a piece of paper like a death list to many big wealthy businessmen.
Even the father of a certain five hundred lord took the share of two thousand five hundred stones, and everyone stared at these papers, and their faces were hard to see.
Under violence, all beings are equal!
These people who came to the banquet can be said to be the most noble people in Jiuquan County, and in front of those poor people, they are the evil dragon that eats people, and they are the Menghu who comes down the mountain.
But in the face of the violence of the Qingliang Bandit Alliance, even the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to shrink its head.
In fact.
That's the beauty of interstate law enforcement!
If the Qingzhou army returns to its hometown, even if it is Jiang Chen, it may be difficult to command the soldiers and force the local large households to donate grain and grass.
After all, being able to support a Qingzhou soldier is equivalent to supporting a Xiucai in a previous life, and poor families may have it, but there are definitely not many.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
After a long time, he said:
"Not necessarily."
"The greedy wolf can predict good fortune and evil, and seek good fortune and avoid evil, perhaps Wang Ganju took the initiative to find a good place in Chaoquan Mountain with his amazing luck and the help of the stars of the troubled times."
Zhang Baisui nodded and expressed his approval:
"It's also, it's just that the people who have gathered to kill the wolf three stars have been taken care of."
"If this person is really the reincarnation of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, then you and I might as well change the court as soon as possible and put ourselves under the command of Wang Ganju."
One old and one young thought carefully for a long time, and finally came to a judgment.
With the advent of troubled times, that is, the [people] part, there are drastic changes.
As a result, the many stars above the heavenly dome, as well as the movement of the mountain range, have also undergone abnormal changes.
To paraphrase Confucianism, that is:
"Celestial Induction!"
As the 10,000-strong army gradually penetrated into the mountains, stepped through the valleys, and crossed the dry forests, finally reached the vicinity of the fire prison pass in the evening.
The wall is 15 zhang high, even if it is a soldier rank, it is extremely difficult to climb the rock with bare hands, the mountains on both sides, almost the cliff, it is even more difficult to climb, it is a proper place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Not to mention......
Jiang Chen and Zhang Baisui glanced at each other, and they both sensed the new [geographical advantage].
The return of the fire spirit.
The volcano of Fire Prison, which has been dormant for hundreds of years, has re-entered its active period.
The two of them looked carefully, and found that the many magic circles on the city wall were secretly operating, obviously recovering their power, and the difficulty of attacking the city increased by three points.
"This Wang Ganju can't really be the son of destiny......
Zhang Baisui was still a little suspicious, and said in a deep voice:
"Not only is there an underground river, but there is also a volcano recovery, such a good treatment, even if there is no Heavenly Destiny, I am afraid it will be very different."
Jiang Chen's eyes flickered slightly:
"In my opinion, this Chaotic Spring Mountain is by no means as simple as an ordinary mountain range, there must be something strange in it!"
said.
Jiang Chen was also thinking about how to take advantage of the favorable time, place and people, pry the earth here, and abolish the advantages of water and fire in Huojiao Mountain.
The two of them spoke.
In the mountains and forests in the distance, people are scattered.
Several sturdy scouts walked through the dry forest and rubble, secretly spying on the layout of the camp of the Qingliang Bandit Coalition Army.
"Hugh!"
Jiang Chen let go of his finger and shot an arrow, blasting the head of an anti-thief scout alive, followed by several arrows in succession.
Hugh!
Wear poplars and shoot willows, and hit every shot!
Several anti-thief scouts hiding in the deep mountains and old forests were all killed by arrows.
But there was also a distant scout, with a decisive personality, and when he saw that the situation was critical, he immediately jumped into the secret passage and narrowly escaped his life.
Dozens of breaths later.
The scout shouted good luck, quickly climbed out of the secret passage, and then rushed into the fire prison pass, informing the generals of the Blood Turban Army of the arrival of the Qingliang Bandit Coalition Army.
"The archer who shot the scout is probably the so-called Qingzhou general, called ...... Jiang Chen?"
Wang Ganju leaned on the pineapple wood chair, and a vague sense of foreboding was born in his heart, feeling that Jiang Chen, who might become a big problem for the Blood Turban Army.
Think of it.
He looked down at the many anti-thief lieutenants present, and said loudly:
"The rank general, the captain of Qingzhou, killed five brothers in our army before the official war, is it tolerable, which is unbearable, who can solve the problems for this general?"
As a dog-headed military advisor, the old Song Tou immediately got up and recommended:
"General Song Batian, the first fierce general of my Blood Turban Army, has two drum urns and golden hammers in his hands, which weigh a total of 7,200 catties, with his ability, within three hammers, he will definitely hammer Jiang Chen under the horse!"
