Jianning County Taishou Mansion:

After Liu Yong dealt with everything and temporarily appointed a general surnamed Zhou to temporarily serve as the Taishou, he really held a banquet in the mansion to entertain the captured Meng Zhuo and several cave masters.

Chen Ji guessed this well, Liu Yong was indeed following Zhuge Liang's practice back then, in order to be safe in the rear.

However, this Meng Zhuo is different from Meng Shu back then, he is treacherous and suspicious, and he looks like he doesn't care about Liu Yong's approach at all.

"Why don't you kneel when you see my majesty?" A samurai yelled and kicked Meng Zhuo in the thigh.

Meng Zhuo stumbled forward, but did not fall to his knees.

"If you hadn't sent someone to secretly attack this king in advance, I'm afraid that the person sitting on it now would be me, and you would have to stand in the current position of this king." Meng Zhuo glanced up at Liu Yong and snorted.

"Presumptuous!" Another samurai shouted, waving his whip to smash it.

Liu Yongyi waved his hand and stopped the samurai.

"I invited you here today, not to talk to you about the war, I have heard that the people of the south are good wine, and the food is different from my Shuzhong, I really want to taste it myself, but I don't know if the king of the south is willing to enjoy the light and drink a few cups with me?" Liu Yong's speech was very slow, and his tone was extremely humble.

Meng Zhuo was stunned.

"Is Your Majesty going to indulge in booze with this king?"

"This is natural, but the chef in my Shu is very angry with the wine and food of your Nanren, and I am worried that the things I make cannot be compared with your Nanren, at that time, if this is the case, please take care of the Nanwang more."

"Hahaha, since Your Majesty is so honest, this king is disrespectful." Meng Zhuo beckoned to the several cave masters standing behind him, motioning for everyone to sit down together.

It didn't take long for a large piece of meat to be placed on the table according to the taste of the southerners, and a staggeringly large jar was moved around everyone.

One of the soldiers first poured wine for a few people.

"If the king of the south suspects that I have moved my hands and feet in the wine, how about I taste them one by one first?" Liu Yong stood up and made a gesture of planning to walk down.

"Not necessarily." Meng Zhuo waved his hand, "If Your Majesty wants to kill me, you won't be so troublesome." ”

Liu Yong laughed, first drank all the wine in the wine bottle, and then showed the empty wine bottle to several people.

Several cave masters looked at Meng Zhuo.

Meng Zhuo didn't move, tilting his huge head to look at Liu Yong.

"Your Majesty and I are drinking, but are there any conditions?"

Liu Yong seemed a little unhappy.

"Is the king of the south so contemptuous of me, if there is a condition, he will not talk about it here."

"Okay." Meng Zhuo picked up the wine bottle at this time.

Several Shu army generals at the foot of the steps glanced at each other, as if they didn't understand Liu Yong's approach.

Nanren like wine, this Meng Zhuo is even more amazing, not long after, Liu Yong was already slightly drunk, his face was red to the root of his ears, and the hand raising the glass began to tremble.

"King Nan is really massive, and I like to make friends with such a bold person as you in my life. After the feast, you can go by yourself, but you must immediately send an order to give up the few small counties you occupy, and as for whether the king of the south is still coming to invade my territory, please take care of yourself, I will wait here. ”

The faces of several cave masters changed slightly, although they guessed a few points about such a result, they didn't want Liu Yong to make a decision so quickly.

Meng Zhuo didn't think so.

"If this king is released today, this king will return, and at that time, you and I will still drink here, but this king is the master, and Your Majesty is the guest."

"Happy." Liu Yong slammed the wine bottle on the table.

"Your Majesty has a very small amount of wine, so let's wait until the next time I am a guest to come and drink with this king." Meng Zhuo pushed the wine bottle away, stood up and said, "Forgive this king for being disrespectful, and I will leave." ”

"Come on, send the king of the south out of the city on my behalf." Liu Yong instructed the warriors.

Meng Zhuo was also not polite, and strode out of the Taishou Mansion.

"Your Majesty should order the withdrawal of all the Southern troops, and then let them go." A general reminded.

"Jianning City has been lost, how can a few small counties be able to hold on for a long time? Meng Zhuo is not stupid, after he goes back, he will immediately withdraw everyone. Liu Yong said.

"Meng Zhuo is different from his father, I am afraid it will be difficult to subdue his heart, even if Your Majesty imitates Zhuge Wuhou, you must always be careful." The general said again.

Liu Yong nodded.

This is also what he is most worried about, once he is entangled with Meng Zhuo here, after a long time, Cao Wei's army will attack, I am afraid that those newly returned states and counties will fall into the hands of the enemy again, and at that time, if he wants to turn the tables, I am afraid that it will not be so smooth.

Although he has ordered Zhang Shao and Lian Zhen to be vigilant at all times, once the enemy army comes to rush to help, there must be no owner in the rear, and if there is a rebellion of the forbidden army, the entire Shuhan group will collapse immediately.

It can be said that Liu Yong's personal expedition to the south this time is like betting on a treasure, which is full of too many uncertainties.

Cao Wei Beijing Luoyang:

At this time, Sima Yan had already returned, and Sima Zhao had already read out his decree in public and gave him the title of King of Jin (since he was still alive, he could not be called a will for the time being. ）。

This decision has attracted a wave of praise.

The succession ceremony had not yet been held, and Sima Zhao was already so sick that he couldn't speak.

Despite this, Sima Zhao, who was on the sickbed, still wanted someone to draw up a decree and ordered the forbidden army to be dispatched within a two-day deadline, asking Sima Banru's family to leave the capital, and repeatedly told him that if there was any delay, he could be killed in public.

After receiving this order, Sima Banru was so angry that he scolded.

Lu Yong's family has been beheaded on the street, and none of the officials who were secretly in contact with Sima Banru dared to come forward. Even the young emperor, Cao Huan, did not dare to mention Sima Banru in the Golden Palace.

Many people are inconceivably impressed by Sima Zhao's indifference.

Sima Zhao's mind can only be guessed by a few smart people.

Sima Yan became the king of Jin, it can be said that the entire Cao Wei is under his control, Sima Banru will definitely not stop there, and Sima Yan will never leave him to threaten his position.

This was the last thing Sima Zhaoneng did for Sima Banru - to stay away from the capital, even if he ended up poor, it was better to be executed by his own brother.

With such thoughts, how could Sima Banru guess it.

"Master Hou, today is already the deadline, if Lord Hou insists on refusing to leave the capital, the villain has no choice but to act according to the decree of King Chitose Jun of Jin." A forbidden warrior with a steel knife in his hand stood in front of Sima Banru with a look of contempt.

"Dare to threaten Ben Hou?" Sima Banru's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at the warrior and scolded.

"The villain is acting on the orders of the King of Jin Chitose Jun, if the Hou Ye is not satisfied, he can go to the King of Jin to complain, and he will not be embarrassed for the villain." The samurai showed no signs of weakness.

"Which King of Jin are you talking about?" Sima Banru asked.

The samurai smiled faintly.

"The succession ceremony is about to be held, and although Hou Ye is outside, he will also know the news. By the way, King Jin ordered that you should not return to Beijing without a Jun decree, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to come back to congratulate you. ”

"You ......" Sima Banru was poked in the sore spot, and he waved his hand to fight down, but was grabbed by the wrist by the samurai.

"Master Hou." The warrior sneered, "The villain still calls you like this, is it because you are still a member of the Sima family, when you leave this capital, I am afraid that no one will call you like this in this life." ”

The warrior said and pushed hard, and Sima Banru was pushed backwards a few steps and almost fell.
