Chapter 445: Paying Tribute to the Heroic Soul

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sun Quan ordered him to set up a water and land dojo for his brother in Ganlu Temple during the day, and to have fun with the civil and military banquets in the evening.

When the chanting was being recited, the news of Cao Cao's ascension to the throne of Wei arrived, and everyone was scolded.

Sun Quan was secretly happy in his heart, Cao Pi pushed Cao Cao to the cusp, and his ambition was clearly revealed, and the biggest rival at this time was Liu Qi, and it was reasonable to send assassins to attack.

Lu Su looked at Sun Quan who was worshipping on incense outside the hall, shook his head and sighed lightly: "If Marquis Wu had not been killed back then, and took Xuzhou into the Central Plains, how could the Cao family and his son be arrogant?" ”

Zhang Zhao twisted his beard and said: "Cao Pi is still younger after all, Cao Jun has been defeated repeatedly, and the world is looking to Liu Qi to prosper the Han, at this time, when he is appeasing people's hearts, but he wants to enter the court to suppress the court, which is tantamount to holding a salary to fight the fire, which is counterproductive!" ”

Lu Su was quite surprised, and turned his head to look at Zhang Zhao: "Zhang Gong also thinks that the Cao family will be defeated?" ”

Zhang Zhao sneered: "Cao Mengde greeted the Son of Heaven before, was edicted to rebel, and the world returned to his heart, and he was a hero of the world, but now he is dictatorial and rebellious, even more reckless and unpopular, and An can be undefeated?" ”

Lu Su nodded slightly, looked at Gu Yong and the others quietly, and was deeply impressed by Zhang Zhao's arguments, these changes in the attitude of the Cao faction that once advocated the surrender of Cao are enough to show that Jiangdong has completely lost the heart to compete for the world.

When the discussion was being made, the guards reported that Liu Qi and his entourage had arrived, accompanied by Zhang Cheng to the temple, as the son-in-law of the Sun family, Liu Qi also went to the front of the hall to offer incense to Sun Ce.

Wu Guotai sits on the futon on the right side of the Buddha statue, chanting and praying with the monks, the top of the hall is covered with yellow brocade tent vines, and the solemn Buddha statue has slightly closed eyes, a peaceful scene.

After Liu Qi put on the incense, he sighed angrily: "Cao thief is king, it is really a shame for the Han family!" If you resurrect your brother, you will be able to enter the Central Plains, and the two of us will be able to combine the east and the west, and we have already diligently rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, how can we call Cao the thief dictatorship? ”

Wu Guotai was meditating with his eyes closed, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes and said unhappily: "Bo Wei's meaning, the defeat of Eastern Wu Huainan is due to Zhongmou's incompetence?" ”

Liu Qi shook his head and said: "I don't mean to belittle the second brother, everyone has their own strengths, as the deceased brother said: the decisive opportunity between the two Chen, competing with the world, is his strength; Capable of being virtuous, guarding the rear, is the ability of the second brother! Jiangdong Huainan has repeatedly lost battles, although it is not a fault of the war, there is a lack of good generals to command the army, if there is a dead brother to command the army, Zhang Liaoan can be free to escape? How dare Sima Yi flood Shouchun City twice? ”

Wu Guotai looked uneasy, but he didn't blame Liu Qi, and said lightly: "It's a pity that people can't be resurrected after death, otherwise with the ability of Bo Fu Overlord, he would have already recovered the Central Plains and saved King Qin, and there is no need for Bo Wei to endure humiliation and burden, and he would have made compromises." ”

"What Guotai said is extremely true!" Liu Qi didn't seem to hear Guotai's sarcastic words, and folded his hands and said: "May the soul of the deceased brother be blessed and restore the Han family as soon as possible." ”

Wu Guotai slowly closed his eyes, and a cold light disappeared in an instant, Liu Qi despised Sun Quan so much, it was really too deceitful.

At this time, Sun Quan was personally arranging the banquet in the east meditation room, after all, Liu Qi was the lord of Jingzhou, and his status was equal, so he had to be grand and decent, so as not to lose Jiangdong's face.

Although he had guessed that there would be an assassin today, he didn't know when he would appear, and Liu Qi didn't dare to move around at will, so he went back to the meditation room to rest first, and Zhuge Jin also came to accompany him.

At this time, the Ganlu Temple seems to be peaceful, the bells are ethereal, and the Sanskrit sound is bursting, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and the sword and sword shadow have already been swords, and the murderous atmosphere is soaring.

In the evening, a bonfire has already been set up in the square in front of the temple, and eight candles as thick as arms in the incense burner in the atrium are lit, and the atmosphere is even more enthusiastic.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, the night in the south of the Yangtze River is the time when the climate is refreshing, with a bright moon rising in the east mountain, Jiangdong civil and military officials and celebrities are also present, according to the seat seat.

In a burst of cheerful drum music, Liu Qi and Sun Quan accompanied Wu Guotai to appear, everyone got up one after another to give a salute, Sun Quan ordered a banquet, tonight only talk about Fengyue, not about state affairs, and rest when drunk.

To Liu Qi's surprise, Fengxiang's dancing team also had the opportunity to play, a dance with Indian style, which opened the eyes of everyone present and applauded.

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Fengxiang really lives up to its reputation, and it can actually get in touch with Wu Hou's mansion." ”

Ma Liang said in a low voice on the side: "In fact, it all depends on the foresight of the lord, it was because of the friendship with Lu Yi early that he was able to win this honor, if there is no help from this person, it will be difficult for our people to get into the mansion to assist Tai Shixiang." ”

Liu Qi nodded slightly, signaling that there was no need to make a noise, at this time Lu Yi was standing behind Sun Quan, seeing that everyone was obsessed, Sun Quan also nodded frequently, looking very satisfied, and couldn't help but blush, and the pride was overflowing.

Not long after, two more teams of soldiers stepped forward to dance the sword, Zhao Yun next to him suddenly became vigilant, secretly holding the hilt of the sword, although Sun Quan did not dare to harm Liu Qi's life, but the sword has no eyes, in case of failure, the hatred of losing Liu Bei will be staged again.

However, this is not a Hongmen banquet, Sun Quan will not be so stupid, after the soldiers retreated, Zhang Wen and other Jiangdong celebrities drank and gave gifts, and after the two came on the field, they asked Liu Qi to also write a poem.

Although Liu Qi's prestige in Shilin is far inferior to Liu Biao, his five-character poems are unique and deeply loved by everyone.

Tonight's event, Liu Qi knew that this ring was inevitable, watching the bright moon in the sky, like a jade plate hanging on the Qinhuai River, and the long river like the Milky Way landing.

After a little thought, he raised his finger to the moon and said loudly:

"The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time.

The lover complains about the night, and he is lovesick at night.

The candles are extinguished, and the light is full, and the clothes are dewed.

It's unbearable to give away, and it's a good time to sleep. ”

"Good poetry, good poetry!" The first person to stand up and applaud was Zhang Zhao, who raised his glass and laughed: "General Liu is really quick-witted, this poem is full of atmosphere, but there is no lack of tenderness among children, when it is a big white!" ”

Everyone nodded yes, even Zhang Wen, who has always regarded himself very highly, sighed to himself, although he knew that Liu Qi was prepared, but he was also impressed, picked up the cup and drank a glass of wine silently.

"The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is ...... at this time" Wu Guotai sat on the main seat, and was a little distracted, looking at the sky and the bright moon, his eyes were confused, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.

Just when everyone was pushing the cup and changing the lamp to discuss the meaning of Liu Qi's poem, the soldier pouring wine in front of Liu Qi suddenly raised the wine jar and smashed it on Liu Qi's head.

Bang Bang –

Before the wine jar fell, it was knocked away, and the wine spilled on the table, and the soldier took advantage of the chaos to roar, took out a dagger from his arms, and threw himself at Liu Qi.

Bang –

The soldier had just jumped up, and while he was still in the air, he was hit by a bench in front of him, and he was hit in the chest, and the whole person flew upside down like a sandbag.

It turned out that Zhao Yun had already prepared, first raised his sword to fly the wine jar, and then when he drew his sword, it was too late, so he simply picked up the stool under his ass and slapped it.

"Oh no, there are assassins!" Zhang Cheng was on the side, and only then did he react, wipe the wine on his face and yell: "Protect Wu Hou and General Liu, and catch the assassin!" ”

Zhang Zhao and the others were shocked, threw away the wine glass and ran to the meditation room, shouting: "Escort and escort!" ”
