Chapter 291: The Dawn Banquet
Liyang City, where the gate was closed, suddenly opened the city gate, and a team of cavalry galloped from inside.
It was Yuan Tan who took the lead.
Far away, Yuan Tan grabbed the reins and arched his hand,
"Dare to ask for a name?"
"I am a disciple of King Wei, and Jiang Boyue is also.
led the military army and came to send ordnance, grain and grass to Lord Yuan. ”
Jiang Wei said lightly.
Yuan Tan glanced at Jiang Wei and Deng Ai carefully, his expression slightly surprised.
He didn't expect that Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, who came to deliver grain and grass, would be so young.
"The two generals have worked hard, but now the army is in chaos, for the sake of safety, please unload the grain and grass, please go back."
Yuan Tan said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the military army.
You and Yuan Tan are not things, we have come all the way to Liyang to deliver grain, grass and ordnance.
The city didn't let us in, so they sent us away?
Jiang Wei stretched out his hand to stop the dissatisfaction of the soldiers behind him.
As if he had expected it, he said unhurriedly,
"Lord Yuan, the King of Wei has an order, let me stay in Liyang, and be responsible for cooperating with you in attacking the thief Yuan Shang."
Yuan Tan's face was cloudy, and he asked softly,
"Dare to ask how many men and horses did the general bring?"
"Not much, just nine thousand."
Hearing this answer, Yuan Tan was obviously relieved and laughed,
"That's very good, then please leave it to the two generals."
After some discussion, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai left 9,000 military troops outside Liyang City.
The two of them went into the city alone, along with food, grass, and ordnance.
In the city of Liyang.
After Yuan Tan finished counting the ordnance, grain and grass, he was surprised and happy in his heart.
He didn't expect Hua Xiong to follow the agreement so much, and sent enough grain and grass, and even the weapons and armor were excellent.
He turned to look at Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, his face already full of smiles.
"The two of you have worked hard, I have already arranged the banquet in the house, we must not get drunk tonight!"
The ordnance sent by Hua Xiong this time was all eliminated from the army.
Thanks to the new iron-making and steel-making methods, almost all of the armies in the five major military regions have been replaced with new standard weapons and armor.
And these eliminated ordnance are a bit of a chicken rib.
It's a pity if you throw it away.
If not, it will be too troublesome to rebuild it.
Hua Xiong simply transferred all these ordnance to Yuan Tan.
Although these ordnance were eliminated by Hua Xiong, for Yuan Tan, who lacked clothes and armor, it was also a divine weapon.
After all, he is not Huaxiong, he can have so many resources, and he can't refine more sophisticated weapons and armor.
Seeing that Yuan Tan treated the garbage he didn't want as a baby,
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai glanced at each other, and they both felt extremely funny in their hearts.
If Yuan Tan is allowed to see the new standard weapons and armor, I am afraid that he will be able to stare out his eyes!
Yuan Tan led Jiang Wei and Deng Ai to his house, and someone had already arranged the banquet in advance.
At the banquet, Yuan Tan introduced his subordinates to the two of them one by one.
"These are my advisors, Mr. Guo Tu, Mr. Xin Ping, and Mr. Xin Bi."
"This is my right-hand man, Wang Zhao, Cen Bi, and Peng An."
Yuan Tan didn't plan to turn his face with Hua Xiong at the moment, so he was extremely enthusiastic about Deng Ai and Jiang Wei sent by Hua Xiong.
At the banquet, everyone stammered and praised the two of them as much as they could.
The atmosphere was also warm.
Just when the wine was in full swing, Yuan Tan asked seemingly casually,
"Two generals, I don't know that before you came, King Wei instructed you, how should we cooperate in the battle?"
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai glanced at each other and smiled slightly.
"King Wei has ordered, let the two of us fight freely, and do not interfere with each other."
The banquet suddenly became quiet, and everyone's faces became strange.
Fight freely and without interfering with each other?
That means we don't care about you, and you don't point fingers at us.
Yuan Tan's expression froze, but then he smiled,
"Then we naturally have to listen to King Wei's orders."
"Yes, yes, King Wei is far-sighted, let's listen to him."
"Come on, keep drinking."
The atmosphere is back to normal, but beneath the cheerful surface, there is a faint undercurrent surging.
At the end of the banquet, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, under the leadership of the servants, went back to rest.
When their backs disappeared into the night, the smile on Yuan Tan's face quickly disappeared.
"Lord, Hua Xiong put Jiang Wei and Deng Ai by your side, I'm afraid I won't be happy!"
Peng An said coldly.
"Nonsense, of course I do!"
Yuan Tan said angrily.
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai stayed in Liyang City under the pretext of cooperating with the attack on Yuan Shang.
However, Huaxiong let them fight separately and not interfere with each other.
That's to put it bluntly, it's for them to spy on themselves.
Yuan Tan was extremely unhappy in his heart!
"Why don't we click them?"
Peng Anbi made a gesture.
"I don't think so."
Xin Ping said softly.
"Oh? Zhongji, what is your opinion? ”
Guo Tu asked.
"The most important thing at the moment is to destroy Yuan Shang.
Before that, we are not in a hurry to turn our faces with Huaxiong.
And now that we get Huaxiong's grain, grass, and ordnance, we can expand by at least 30,000 people!
With an army of 80,000 in hand, isn't it easy to deal with two stinky dolls and an army of 9,000? ”
Xin Ping's words made everyone present nod their heads, and their expressions were quite agreeable.
"What Zhongji said is exactly what I thought."
Yuan Tan chuckled, then his face turned grim, and he said sharply,
"Quickly reorganize the army, and set off the day after tomorrow to attack Yecheng!"
……
Hua Xiong and Yuan Tan were both thinking about how to attack Yecheng.
And on Yecheng's side, Yuan Shang was not idle.
"My lord, according to the news that my subordinates have recently inquired into, now that the eldest prince has formed an alliance with Huaxiong, he may come to attack at any time."
The strategist reported in a deep voice.
"Shut up, and Hugh will have to call that person the eldest prince in the future.
I didn't expect these two to get together.
Yuan Tan is really a despicable and shameless villain! ”
A look of disgust flashed across Yuan Shang's face.
Hua Xiong killed his second brother Yuan Xi, and also defeated his father Yuan Shao, causing Yuan Shao to die of depression.
The two sides can be said to be great enemies who do not share the sky.
And Yuan Tan not only raised troops to rebel against him, but also formed an alliance with the great enemy of the Yuan family, how could this not be spurned by Yuan Shang?
(To correct here, after Yuan Shao's death, it was split into a tripartite force of Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and his nephew Gao Gan.) )
"Lord, although Yuan Tan is a villain, since he hooked up with Huaxiong, he has to be cautious."
The judge said softly.
"Of course I know that." Yuan Shang said impatiently, "What can you do?" ”
Feng Ji stood up and said softly,
"Huaxiong is far south of the Yellow River, and we have fortified the north bank of the Yellow River.
Even if he built a boat and wanted to forcibly cross the river, he was afraid that it would be difficult to reach the blue sky. ”
