Chapter 119: The two generals meet
Runan County, Shen County.
The wind mixed with the snow almost buried the world.
The entire county has long been covered in silver, and there are no pedestrians in sight inside and outside.
This county is an important gateway from Yuzhou to Yangzhou, the road extends in all directions, and the businessmen come and go endlessly on weekdays, but at this moment under the ravages of wind and snow, the road is empty, and there are no footprints, so pure and flawless.
Five miles to the south of the county seat, there is a nameless pavilion, this pavilion is very simple, it is the place where the postman settles on weekdays.
At this moment, outside the pavilion, there were nearly 100 heavily armed armor soldiers, guarding different positions, holding strong crossbows and wearing thick winter clothes, cautiously observing the Quartet.
Zhuge Dan sat in this pavilion, with wine on the stove in front of him.
There were servants holding furnaces beside him, and green smoke slowly floated up.
Zhuge Dan placed a lot of different kinds of wine cups in front of him, poured some hot wine, took a sip, and then sang: "Zhan Zhan Lusi, the sun is not shining, tired of drinking at night, not drunk and homeless"
Just when Zhuge was showing the demeanor of a celebrity, a general suddenly rushed in.
"General, they're coming!"
"What's the panic? After following me for so long, why are you still so breathless? ”
Zhuge Dan reprimanded, then took another sip of wine and asked, "How many people came?" ”
"Two."
"Huh??"
Zhuge Dan finally didn't calm down, he looked at the general on the side suspiciously, "Two people? ”
"That's true, we can all see clearly, two riders."
"What about the distance? Will there be an ambush? ”
"I didn't find out, do you want the last general to take someone to investigate?"
"Not necessarily! He is not afraid of all the hills, will I be afraid? ”
After Zhuge Dan finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup in his hand again, but his hand trembled a little, and it didn't seem to be as calm as he said.
Zhuge Dan didn't wait too long, and a moment later, two people hurriedly walked into the pavilion.
One old and one young, it is Biqiu Jian who walks ahead.
At this moment, his cheeks were red from the cold, patting the snowflakes on his shoulders, and swaggered in front of Zhuge Dan, sitting down as if no one was around, "This year's snow is bigger than ever, it's really terrible."
Biqiu Jian complained, then raised his head and looked at Zhuge Dan in front of him.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the general's demeanor is still the same!"
Zhuge Dan replied calmly: "The general looks a lot rougher. ”
This is not that Zhuge Festival deliberately found fault, Biqiu Jian's skin has become a little rough, and his clothes are not exquisite, although he is still very elegant, he is far inferior to Zhuge Festival.
Biqiu Jian said with a smile: "I am already very old, not as old as I was back then." ”
Zhuge Dan looked at the young man behind Biqiu Jian, this young man was very tall, staring indifferently at the front at the moment, without saying a word, holding the gift box in his hand.
"The general is so bold, he only brought a knight, and he dared to come to my land of Runan."
Biqiu Jian shook his head, "Under the Putian, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, how can the prince have any land in Runan, isn't it all the land of Great Wei?" As a courtier of Great Wei, how could I not dare to come? ”
Zhuge Dan was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to lose to Biqiu Jian in words, so he sarcastically said: "The snow-white and flawless snow in Runan was stunned by you to step on two filths." ”
"I also wondered, why did it snow so heavily in Runan? It's a really hard road to follow."
"Isn't it nice to be snowy and have such a beautiful view?"
"I don't know how many people will be frozen to death."
Zhuge Dan was speechless again, and there was already anger in his eyes.
Biqiu Jian pointed to the young man behind him, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to come alone, but I just prepared a gift for you, and I couldn't take it alone, so I let him follow." ”
"Give the gift to the general!"
Biqiu Jian waved his hand, and the young man put the gift box in his hand in front of Zhuge Dan.
The anger in Zhuge Dan's eyes disappeared suddenly.
Many years ago, he and Biqiu Jian were still very good friends, and their friendship was very good, but because of Wen Qin, the two went further and further.
Zhuge Dan sighed, "I thought you wouldn't dare to come." ”
"You're my friend, if you don't even dare to come here, then where else can I go?"
"There were so many friends at the beginning, and now there are only two of us left."
There was some sadness in Biqiu Jian's eyes, "I'm very old, and I don't know if I can see you again in the future." ”
Zhuge was speechless for a long time.
There was a sudden silence in the atmosphere.
"Zhong Gong is just a gathering of old friends today, and we only drink and have fun, just like we did at the beginning, okay?"
Zhuge Dan suddenly spoke.
Biqiu Jian nodded, "Naturally." ”
Zhuge Dan immediately began to pour wine, Biqiu Jian did not hesitate, and drank directly with him, the two gradually talked about the original time, the original friends, as if they had left everything, the more they talked, the happier they became, and their attitudes became closer and closer.
At this moment, Biqiu Jian suddenly spoke: "Gongxiu, where is your son now?" ”
Zhuge Dan's smile froze again.
His son has returned to him, which also represents his alliance with the Great General.
"Didn't you say yes, only drink alcohol today?"
"Vacation, I'm not your drinking buddy, I've known you for many years, and I've long regarded you as a close friend."
Biqiu Jian opened his mouth seriously.
"I know you're struggling, and you know what I'm doing."
"I don't blame you, many things are not something we can choose by ourselves, you also have tens of thousands of people to take care of, and sometimes, you can't help yourself."
"If you are the general of Zhendong, I really want to persuade you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light at this moment, and join me in a big event to crusade against Sima Shi."
"But as a friend, I just want to advise you not to get involved in these things."
Biqiu Jian said sincerely: "What kind of person the Sima family is, you should know best, treachery, betraying friends, shameless, I don't know what kind of words to use to insult them, since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, all the words used to insult are not enough to describe them!" ”
"What will happen to you if you mix with such a person?"
"What kind of assurance do you get?"
"The Sima family has always wanted to be unfavorable to the local generals, and now they are wooing you, just because of me, if I die, who will they deal with next?"
"Even if they don't move you, how will future generations evaluate you after a hundred years?"
"This time I am dead, and future generations will definitely not be disrespectful to me, they will say that there is a loyal minister Biqiu Jian, although he is incompetent, but he died for the king's affairs!"
"And if you are alive and become the third prince, future generations will spurn you, thinking that you are aiding and abusing and murdering Zhongliang!"
Biqiu Jian's speech was extremely fast, but there was no meaning of reprimand, his words were full of sincerity, looking directly into Zhuge Dan's eyes.
Zhuge Dan was very uncomfortable under his gaze, and Biqiu Jian's words hit his ears like a heavy hammer, making him overwhelmed, and he didn't even dare to look at Biqiu Jian again.
In the face of Biqiu Jian's persuasion, Zhuge Dan lowered his head and said nothing.
"Gongxiu, I know who you are, when I came here, everyone persuaded me not to come, lest I be harmed by you, but I don't think so, Gongxiu is a famous moral wise man in the world, will he murder his friends?"
"When I learned that you were plotting with Sima Shi, I was terrified."
"I'm not afraid that you will join forces to deal with me, I'm afraid that my friend will not be able to protect the evening!"
Zhuge Dan's face was extremely hesitant, he lowered his head, and his heart was even more entangled.
The relationship between Zhuge Dan and Biqiu Jian has always been good, but because of Wen Qin, the two began to drift apart, and Zhuge Dan has always been a little jealous of Biqiu Jian in his heart.
He thinks that his ability is not necessarily worse than that of Biqiu Jian, but Biqiu Jian's luck is always better than his own.
If you play a Hu person, you can be famous all over the world, and if you write something, you will be sung by the world, even when you deal with Dongwu, you are so lucky, Dongwu collapsed without a fight, he inexplicably became the general of Zhendong, originally everyone was a general of the four towns, why do you have an extra big character than me? Why are you so lucky?
Obviously I am so good, such a style is unique in the world, why am I always pressed by you?
He would love to replace Biqiu Jian.
However, after hearing Biqiu Jian's sincere words, Zhuge Dan's heart suddenly felt a little bitter, and he really didn't know what to say.
"Gongxiu, if you don't want to listen to my advice, then I won't leave, you just tie me up and give it to Sima Shi."
Zhuge Dan's eyes widened, "Who are you and me?!" ”
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not humiliating you, if the general brings troops to fight, I'm not afraid, but if you want to bring troops to come, how can I resist? Rather than be captured by you on the battlefield, it is better to be captured now."
The corners of Zhuge Dan's mouth twitched, but he quickly retracted.
"Zhong Gong is a famous general of Great Wei, how can I be your opponent?"
Biqiu Jian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Others don't know, don't I know it myself?" I'm just lucky, but how can I dare to be called a famous general? ”
"Zhong Gong is so humble, you are not Chinese, even the general is in awe of you!"
"He used to be in awe, but since he won you in, he is no longer in awe."
Zhuge Dan looked at Biqiu Jian who bowed his head and showed timidity in front of him, for some reason, he was in a very comfortable mood, and he no longer had the restraint and uneasiness of Fang Cai, and suddenly became strong and confident.
"Zhong Gong! Today, we only drink alcohol, and you don't have to worry about the rest! ”
"Good!"
The two talked again, Zhuge Dan commented on the characters in the world, and his words were very arrogant and heroic.
When the feast was over, Biqiu Jian saluted him and took the young man with him, and rode away from the place on horseback.
The general whispered: "General, if you cover up at this moment, you will definitely be able to kill them."
Zhuge Dan was furious, "Isn't this going to be laughed at by the people of the world?!" ”
"Go back!"
"Yui!!"
And Biqiu Jian rode a horse and quickly galloped in the direction of Yangzhou, not daring to stop for a moment.
After leaving there, Biqiu Jian's expression quickly turned indifferent.
Wen Yang said with some displeasure: "Zhuge is indecisive, I promised you today, and maybe I will promise Sima Shi tomorrow, such a person is not trustworthy!" ”
Biqiu Jian asked calmly, "Do you think Sima Shi will not know about his meeting with me?" ”
"With Sima Shi's suspicious character, will he still believe in Zhuge Dan?"
"I see!!
