(The alliance has such firm support, only gratitude...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, Tao Qian held a banquet at the mansion to celebrate the meritorious generals and officials of this battle against Cao.

At this banquet, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms gathered together and happily shared their joy: Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Tian Kai, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Cao Bao, Cao Hong, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Chen Gui, Chen Deng, Zuo Rong, Xiao Jian... Of course, there are also Ma Han.

Among these people, some are arrogant and do not interact with scholars who do not like them, such as Chen Gui and his son; some are eccentric and difficult to get close to, such as Guan Yu, Cao Hong, and Sun Guan; some are not good at dealing with others, such as Tian Kai, Zhang Fei, Zang Ba, etc.; some are like Cao Bao, Mi Fang, Zuo Rong, and Xiao Jian. They seem to be versatile, but in fact they speak boringly, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

In such an occasion, only one who can play around is Liu Bei, and one who is similar to that is Mi Zhu.

Liu Bei didn't need to say much. Mi Zhu was a wealthy family and a merchant family. He could talk and deal with the powerful and powerful, and he was the way to survive. During the meal, one represented the guest army and the other represented the state. He circulated and gave him the words and decreed. He was good at dancing and was well-versed.

When the drink was in full swing, Liu Bei rose up and invited the horses to dance. In the Han Dynasty, inviting people to dance was a very solemn etiquette. No matter whether it was a guest, a guest, or a guest, he would not refuse, otherwise it would be considered a great insult.

But Ma Han didn't know this, and he couldn't dance - does ballroom dance count?

Ma Han stood up and was about to refuse, but as soon as he spoke, Liu Bei's expression had not changed, but he heard a loud laugh: "I am so elegant, I wish to dance with you."

The one who rescued the siege for Ma Han was Chen Deng.

Liu Bei turned anger into joy. He was about to get along with this man and his son. Chen Deng's move hit his mind. He smiled and smiled, and waved his sleeves and danced, while Chen Deng also relaxed his sleeves and matched. The two danced gracefully in the sound of silk and bamboo.

Zhao Yun on the side table waited for Ma Han to sit down before he wiped away a cold sweat and whispered to him about the consequences of the dance. Ma Han then suddenly realized and glanced at Chen Deng with gratitude. Chen Deng just smiled faintly and danced very well with Liu Bei.

Ma Han knew that he did not understand these upper etiquettes, so he must have been underestimated by Chen Deng. He was willing to help him, but it was only because of his virtue of living the life of the people of Suiling. Ma Han realized his negligence in this regard. It seemed that after returning, he would definitely ask Li Ji for advice. There was nothing more professional than her when talking about the Han rituals and styles.

Ma Han is reviewing, while someone is secretly annoyed.

Who? Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

These two people were extremely dissatisfied with Ma Han's glory to escape his brother during the day, and were even more unhappy with Ma Han's super high popularity. If it weren't for Liu Bei's repeated persuasion and his friendship with Zhao Yun, the two of them would have looked for an opportunity to measure the "Liaodong Tianju".

The initial resentment of the pressure was aroused by his brother's humiliation (although it was an attempt). Zhang Fei opened his eyes angrily, pinching a pair of fists as big as a sand bowl. He was about to get up, but was held down by Guan Yu on the side.

Zhang Fei's beard is a slight: "Second brother, you are..."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard and sneered: "Does my third brother want to make a big fuss at the Taozhou Muslim banquet?"

"That guy was rude first."

"Then you can't blatantly scan the face of the envoy Tao. Otherwise, the eldest brother would be unhappy."

When Zhang Fei said that Liu Bei would blame him, he would not argue anymore, but said angrily: "That guy is so rude. Could it be that he can forget it?"

"Of course not. The third brother sat down very well, let's see how he was my brother." Guan Yu slowly grew up, and his majestic body, which was more than eight feet tall, was extremely eye-catching, so he made the official's eyes focus on him.

At this time, Liu Bei and Chen Deng finished dancing, looked at each other and laughed, bowed and returned to their seats.

Before Liu Bei sat down, he saw Guan Yu stand up and was slightly surprised. He was about to ask, but he heard Guan Yu say loudly: "As a general, Ma Duwei is understandable, and he is not good at dancing. I guess he should be fine. Yu asks for a sword dance song, and I hope he will not refuse."

As soon as Guan Yu said this, everyone knew that he had opened his eyes for his brother, and his eyes turned to Ma Han.

Tao Qian frowned slightly. He did not want uncontrollable things to happen at his banquet, but Guan Yu's move was just neglected by his brother, and it was inconvenient to stop it. Well, Liu Bei was also a person who knew how to advance and retreat, so he left it to him to handle it.

When Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's words, he knew that this brother was going to find Ma Han's trouble. He wanted to stop him as Tao Qian expected, but when his eyes touched Zhao Yun diagonally opposite, his thoughts moved - this was a good opportunity. At a glance, Ma Jinglong knew that he was unwilling to be inferior to others. He would not think about pulling him over, but Zilong had a chance. If he let his second brother humiliate him and let him lose face in front of the guests. If he fails to do so, if he is not as good as a boss, Zilong will be ashamed to be inferior to him. As long as the two of them have a gap, they will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei didn't stop him.

Sword dance? Or dance with Guan Yu?

Ma Han suddenly thought of Xiangzhuang in history. Guan Yu wanted to be Xiangzhuang and treat me as Peigong?

The joking, excited, and gazes above the Guangtang made Ma Han feel sick. He just said lightly: "Where is Brother Guan's official position?"

Didn’t this ask clearly? Guan Yu was very unhappy, but he still held back his anger and replied: “Yu is the Sima of the Cavalry.”

"Very good. Zhao Zilong, under the command of this commander, is also a cavalryman. You can be the best place to dance with Beiguan Sima. You two are the best way to dance with swords."

As soon as Ma Han said this, all the laughter and voices in Guangtang disappeared, and the temperature dropped, and everyone could hear the lethality of this sentence - you are not equal to me, so let's play with my subordinates.

Liu Bei's face, which had been smiling all night, finally turned white; Zhang Fei's face was as black as the bottom of a pot; while Guan Yu's red face was as bloody as he clenched his fists, making the sound of Kaba.

Only Tao Qian squinted his eyes and his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what idea he was going to make.

Zhao Yun stood up long, bowed to Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and said apologetically: "The city guards are busy with boats and cars, and they are unable to drink, so they can't help but accompany Brother Guan. Yun is willing to dance with Brother Guan to help you all."

Guan Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the qi and blood in his chest, and said lightly: "Zilong's sword weapon dance, I have already had the knowledge, I just want to see the power of the Ma Duwei's retreat from Cao's army. Hehe! It seems that Cao Ren's son is just like this."

Guan Yu mainly faced Cao Cao's main force, and the main opponent on the battlefield was Xiahou Yuan, who had basically never fought with Cao Ren. He fought half of the Xuzhou city with just one Cao Ren, and the formation was collapsed, so he was naturally dissatisfied. He only felt that this hairless boy scared Cao Zixiao away with one arrow. If he touched the big knife in his hand, he would not only cut his helmet and behead his head directly.

Guan Yu was proud by nature. He despised scholars. Sometimes he spoke without any scruples and did not consider the feelings of the parties involved or others. More than 20 years later, he should have been a mature senior general. When Sun Quan, the leader of Jiangdong, asked his son to marry his daughter, he actually said to the envoy, "How can a tiger girl be matched with a dog son?", which is evident.

Guan Yu's words were originally intended to slap Ma Han in the face, but he accidentally injured Cao Bao, Cao Hong, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Zuo Rong, Chen Gui and Chen Deng, and even Tao Qian's face was hard to look like it. It was nothing else. The above people, in this battle in Xuzhou, were either defeated in the field, suppressed by the siege, or closed the city to avoid the enemy. The person who caused all this was Cao Cao, and the direct executor. You said Cao Ren, what are we?

Sometimes, belittling the enemy is equivalent to ridiculing teammates in disguise.

Liu Bei's face turned pale, it was over! The effort of day and night was eliminated by Yun Chang's words.

In just a moment, Guan Yu became the target of public criticism. All Xuzhou officials and generals felt that this person was disgusting. They had many dissatisfactions, contempts and hatreds about Ma Han before, and they all turned to Guan Yu, the big mouth.

Ma Han was so keen to observe and immediately seized the opportunity to turn the spearhead. He didn't take advantage of the situation and waited for it? He didn't agree to compete in the sword before, because he didn't want Xuzhou officials to watch the show, but now it's different. Ma Han believes that all the civil and military officials in Xuzhou want to see him teach this blushing Guan a lesson. Since that's the case, how can he disappoint everyone here?

"Hahahaha!" Ma Han laughed loudly, attracting the attention of the audience, then slowly stood up and smiled at Guan Yu, "Brother Guan, the art-like thing like sword dance is too inconsistent with the style of our generals. If you want to play, let's play something real."

Guan Yu actually realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was impossible to take it back; asking him to apologize, he couldn't let down his face. Ma Han responded, giving him the opportunity to get rid of the current embarrassing situation. He asked naturally: "What are you playing?"

Ma Han rolled up his sleeves and beat him word by word: "Bet, wrist, son!"

Everyone was struck by lightning, looked at each other in a flash, and then burst into laughter, almost lifting the roof.

Ma Han calmly cut into the hall, and the waiter who distributed the jerky reached out: "Can you borrow a blade?"

The waiter was at a loss and subconsciously looked at the governor of the Shang head. The latter nodded slightly.

Ma Han held the knife with both hands and walked to the table where the jerky was placed. At this time, all the laughter had stopped and everyone felt that things were not that simple.

But when Ma Han pulled it a little, he brushed the moxibustion mutton that had only half of the left side of the short table to the ground, then held the blade in both hands and stabbed it up at the same time - puff! The two swords made only a sound, and the cutting blade penetrated the surface of the case, revealing more than half a foot long. Under the reflection of nearly a hundred palace lanterns on both walls, the sharp blade shone brightly and dazzlingly.

Ma Han sat cross-legged, paused his right arm in the middle of the desk, and showed a slight look of arm wrestling. He pointed to the blade with the other hand and raised his chin to Guan Yu, with a blank expression on his face, and a pair of gray and cold eyes full of provocation.

For a moment, everyone was struck by lightning - this time it was the real lightning. This is a wrestling arm? It's too cruel! Whoever loses, his arm will be pressed by his opponent and penetrates the blade - this is a gamble of silences!

After shock, purely powerful generals like Zhang Fei, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan all shouted loudly. This is the pure man’s thing. A simple arm wrestling, plus two swords, becomes a test of strength, courage, will, and these means to measure whether a general is qualified.

Zhang Fei's blood was rising, eager to try, and shouted: "Second brother, let me compete with him!"

Guan Yu glared and said, "Duh! Is Guan a brave bandit? Ma Jinglong, Guan is comparing with you!"

Among the top military generals of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's power can definitely squeeze into the top five. This is a peerless fierce man with both strength and speed, but he absolutely couldn't imagine what he was going to face.

When all the generals and officials in Xuzhou turned their eyes to the governor of the state, Tao Qian only said one sentence: "In Xuzhou, the most ischemia. Today's bet by the two warriors can eliminate the weakness of Xuzhou and add to the strength of the spirit!"

This is the top leader setting the tone.

Liu Bei wanted to stop him, but when he looked at his brother's face, he had to swallow the words he stopped, thinking that when Yun Chang gained the upper hand, he would definitely drink him to stop him. It would be absolutely unfavorable to his reputation when he was able to stop him. Stop at the right time, which is the benevolent demeanor that captures people's hearts and shows the way of benevolence and forgiveness.

Mi Zhu looked at Ma Han's confident expression and felt uneasy. However, Liu Bei did not stop him, and he was even more reluctant to interfere. He only hoped that Guan Yunchang was really the "enemies of thousands of people" as his brother said, otherwise, it would have a heavy blow to Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou.

Chen Gui, who had just been appointed as the Prime Minister of Pei by Tao Qian, was an old man in his fifties, twisted his gray beard and had a faint smile on his lips. He asked his eldest son beside him: "Deng'er, what do you think of this person?"

Chen Deng replied without hesitation: "A heroic figure is a pity that his family background is not good."

Chen Gui smiled without saying that: "Family origin? The advancement of the world in governance, the rag of the troubled times. Even if there is no such thing, the pearl covered with dust will sooner or later be cleansed by the wind and rain of the troubled times, and will be cleansed and shined!"

Chen Deng didn't say anything, thinking.
