Chapter 68: The Hongmen Banquet

"General, the general has a big feast tonight, and the generals in the army are invited to discuss important matters. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Inside the tent, an elegant man held a book in his left hand and gently stroked his beard with his right hand, looking leisurely.

"I see, you go down first. ”

When the man heard the report from his subordinates, he finally raised his delicate face, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

When the sergeant in charge of the order heard the man's order, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately saluted respectfully, and then slowly retreated towards the outside of the tent.

After the herald left, the elegant man gently put down the book in his hand, stared at the green smoke rising from the desk, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Is this feast a blessing or a curse?"

The man's name is Li Jing, a son of the Li family, a wealthy family in Shangqiu City, not only has read poetry and books since childhood, but also has an extraordinary talent for martial arts, and now he has reached the peak of entering the house.

With his own extraordinary talent and the huge power of his family, Li Jing has become a senior general within a few years of joining the army, and he is deeply loved by the sergeants and soldiers of the army.

Li Jing likes life in the army very much, and also admires the young and promising general Huan Chang who dares to make drastic reforms.

However, the new law promulgated by Huan Chang has touched the interests of the nobles, and the Li family, as a wealthy family of the Song Kingdom, naturally wants to vigorously oppose it.

From Li Jing's own vision, it is not difficult to see that the new law promulgated by Huan Chang can indeed make the Song State quickly become strong.

From his own point of view, Li Jing actually wanted to support the new law, and even had the idea of abandoning everything to help Huan Chang.

However, Li Jing's identity is destined to make it impossible for him to be so free and easy, and he will send someone to assassinate Huan Chang against his conscience.

"It's all for the family. ”

Li Jing showed a bitter smile on his face, then sighed heavily, and put the book in his hand on the desk.

"Someone, call a few generals. ”

In the barracks, the lights are colorful and lively.

There were more and more generals who came to the banquet, and Huan Chang was also chatting and laughing in the banquet, greeting the generals cordially.

"General Li Jing has arrived!"

At this moment, Huan Chang suddenly heard the voice of the herald, and the smile on his face couldn't help but restrain a little.

But soon, Huan Chang's face was full of smiles again, and then he walked towards the door, actually preparing to greet Li Jing in person.

In fact, with Li Jing's status in the army, he is also eligible for such treatment.

"General Li is late today, and he will be fined three glasses of wine during the banquet!"

"Since the general speaks, don't say three cups, even if the general is thirty cups, he is willing to be punished!"

With big smiles on their faces, they walked hand in hand towards the banquet.

Li Jing came late, and the banquet began immediately after taking his seat, and the generals in the army were all bold people, so they naturally drank happily in the banquet.

For a while, the atmosphere was very lively.

After three rounds of drinking, Huan Chang suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand, and turned around at the generals.

Seeing Huan Chang's movements, the generals who were originally drinking happily suddenly quieted down and focused on Huan Chang.

"Contemptible people are not talented, thanks to the king's respect, entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I dare not slack off every day. ”

"All the generals are the pillars of the Song Dynasty, and they are also the predecessors of the next generation, if there is anything wrong since the next general, I hope that the generals can be able to Haihan. ”

"Today, I will drink this cup of wine and make amends to the generals for my past mistakes. ”

After speaking, Huan Chang raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

When the generals heard Huan Chang's words, their faces immediately changed slightly, and they all hurriedly got up.

Then someone said: "Although the general is young, he has already made great achievements in war, and he is familiar with the art of war and tactics, so he also gives us preferential treatment." ”

"The general is the talent of the pillar of my Song Kingdom, and what he has done is also remarkable, where is there a fault?"

I have to say that Huan Chang's prestige in the army is still quite high.

In the past, bandits were rampant in the Song Kingdom, and many of the generals present also had the intention to beg the thieves, but for various reasons, they could only watch the people of the Song Kingdom being oppressed by the bandits.

Since Huan Chang served as a general in the Song State, he not only quickly swept away the bandits in the territory, but also exterminated the Shanhai Gang like a monkey, which made many generals feel very happy.

Moreover, in order to enhance Huan Chang's prestige, Song Gong also revealed Huan Chang's true identity, and everyone knew that the young man in front of him was not only the heir of the powerful Shujian Pavilion, but also a descendant of Song Xianggong.

Maybe the generals in the army don't know much about Shujian Pavilion, but Song Xianggong, as a great monarch in the history of the Song Kingdom, it is impossible for any Song State official with status not to know.

Even in the era of Song Xianggong, nearly three hundred years have passed since now, and the generals are still in awe of Xianggong.

The Song Kingdom was originally a country that paid attention to tradition, and attached great importance to inheritance and bloodline, even these generals.

It stands to reason that since Huan Chang is a descendant of Song Xianggong, then it should be the orthodoxy of the Song State, even if Huan Chang has no intention of seizing the position of Song Gong, his identity is still very prominent.

Therefore, even though Huan Chang had already held the position of general at a young age, the generals in the army did not have many complaints.

Now hearing Huan Chang's words, all the generals feel a little panicked.

Looking around, Huan Chang took in everyone's expressions, but found that Li Jing was still smiling, and couldn't help but start sneering.

"Bang Bang!"

Huan Chang's hands clapped, and before the generals could figure out what was happening, they heard the sound of neat footsteps.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Well-armed men with bows and crossbows poured in from all directions, surrounding all the generals who had come to the feast.

"Lord, General, what the hell is going on!"

The generals looked at those cold and shining bows and crossbows aimed at themselves, and they all felt a little numb in their hearts, and asked Huan Chang with a pale face.

Huan often carried his hands behind his back, walking around among the many generals as if nothing had happened.

"Since I assumed the position of general, I have been very kind to the generals, even if there is anything that is not good, the generals can just bring it up, and there is no need to send crossbowmen in the army to assassinate me. ”

"Do you think that someone is easy to bully?"

When the generals heard this, they reacted, and their faces immediately changed.

These generals knew that the general was assassinated in the first place, and that special bow and crossbow were for the army, and it was impossible for these generals not to guess.

Everyone knew that there were people in the army who wanted to deal with the generals, but no one dared to say anything.

Because the generals can think that those who dare to deal with the generals are definitely not trivial, and they don't want to get involved.

However, seeing the general's current posture, the generals naturally knew that Huan Chang was going to fight back.

Thinking about this, the generals calmed down.

Because many people are not involved at all, even in the face of many bows and crossbows, there is still no need to worry in the slightest.

"General Li, what do you think?"

After Huan Chang finished speaking, he immediately set his eyes on Li Jing and asked expressionlessly.
