Chapter 120: Yuan Shu Hosts the Hongmen Banquet
At noon on the next day, all the generals of various walks of life said goodbye in the central square of Wohu City. Even Tian Feng and Chen Gong hung their gorgeous long swords and stood with Guo Jia, which was quite dazzling.
"Fifth brother, you will lead a large army to Shuofang this time. You must be careful at all times. Don't make decisions when encountering problems. You should discuss with Feng Xiao!" Zhao Xing solemnly ordered Zhang Liao.
"Remember the teachings of my third brother! Liao Ding lives up to expectations and regain his hometown as soon as possible!" Zhang Liao said in a rare way.
"I will go to Shuofang here to take care of my health and practice the body-building method taught by Doctor Hua! I have a treasure to give you, and I will know in the future!" Zhao Xing said to Guo Jia with a mysterious look on his face, and what he said once again made Guo Jia, who is known as the "genius" confused.
"Jinwu, this is the first time you have led your army to station in a county. You must obey the orders of the Gongtai everywhere and not make a decision! The long spear you have picked is good. If you practice diligently in the future, you will become a great talent!" Zhao Xing came to Li Jinwu, wearing a bright light armor, wearing a tiger helmet, and holding a horse spear, and said with relief.
"Don't worry, Brother Xing, I will learn from Brother Guan and the others and be the powerful generals guarding the area, so that the Xianbei people, Qianghu people, and Han people dare not offend Xihe!" Li Jinwu said with a firm look on his face.
"Mr. Gongtai, you have to worry about everything in Xihe. Mr. Sima is good at governing the government and ensuring the people, so you can be assured to let them do it. The rest of the matter is unpredictable, just adapt to the situation. If you cannot do it, return to Shangdang quickly and don't fall into crisis." Zhao Xing said politely to Chen Gong.
"Ming thanked the general for his kindness!" Chen Gong replied respectfully.
"Mr. Wenhe, the Shangdang Department needs you to take charge of the overall situation. My generals, including Qu Yi, Fang Yue, Zhou Cang, Guo Changzi, Pei Yuanshao, etc., should obey your orders, please!" Zhao Xing came to Jia Xu and said respectfully.
"Guochang can leave with confidence. If Xu is here for Shangdang, there should be no major problems!" Jia Xu said confidently.
"Jia Mu, Guan Ping, after I leave, don't be too busy with training. When I return, I must check your homework!" Zhao Xing ordered Jia Mu and Guan Ping.
"Remember your lord's teachings!" the two young men said in unison.
"The army boarded the horse and took action separately!" Zhao Xing waved his hand and led the two battalions of troops out of Chouhu City.
Before dark, the two battalions of troops led by Zhao Xing arrived at Huguan and planned to go east tomorrow after resting in the pass at night.
Zhou Cang, who received the news, had already brought several members of the generals to line up in front of the pass, and did not dare to neglect the slightest.
"Come on, bring up Captain Zhou's weapons!" After seeing Zhou Cang, Zhao Xing ordered his men.
After a while, the two strong soldiers walked to the front with a strange weapon covered with black and thick, covered with long spikes.
"Person Zhou, try the weapons I have created for you to see if they are good at it!" Zhao Xing said with a smile.
"Huh!" Zhou Cang pirated the energy from his dantian, picked up the weapons on the ground, and waved them a few times. "Good weapons, the weight is just right for me, Lao Zhou, I wonder if they have a name?"
"This soldier is called a mace, which is most suitable for rude people like you, haha..." Zhao Xing smiled happily with his mouth. Everyone looked at Zhou Cang's appearance with a bull-headed and horse-faced look, and then held a mace in his hand, and couldn't help laughing.
"Thank you, lord, for your great gift!" Zhou Cang didn't care about other people's laughter and saluted Zhao Xing solemnly.
"Let's go, let's talk about it when we get into the pass!" Zhao Xing pulled his feet and walked up to the pass.
"Report to the lord, the prefect of Guangping Yuan Shu, sent a letter a few days ago, saying that it was yours to be revealed!" Zhou Cang handed a letter with a varnished mouth in both hands.
After reading the letter, Zhao Xing didn't say anything for a long time, and handed the letter to Tian Feng beside him. "Mr. Yuanhao, see which Yuan Shu is singing!"
Shortly after reading the letter, Tian Feng said to Zhao Xing: "Yuan Gonglu wants to perform a 'Hongmen Banquet' for Guochang in Guangping!"
"Haha, it's interesting. I know that if I go to Julu to take office, I have to pass by his doorstep, so I have to worry about the troops in Guangping and want to give me some advice!" Zhao Xing said with a relaxed smile.
"Guochang must not be taken lightly. If Yuan Shu dares to threaten you so blatantly, is it because he has some support?" Tian Feng analyzed.
"If there is any support, it will definitely be related to the appointment or edict of the court, otherwise he would not have the courage to provoke me!" Zhao Xing said affirmatively.
"Zhoucang, can you tell how many soldiers and horses are currently in Guangping County?" Zhao Xing turned to Zhoucang.
"According to the sentry reconnaissance, there were more than 10,000 people, mainly infantry, and very few cavalry," Zhou Cang replied.
"Today I will ask you in person. If you don't have my seal in the future, you must not send a soldier and a soldier through Huguan from Jizhou! Those who dare to break through the pass will be killed without mercy!" Zhao Xing explained with a serious expression.
"Zhou Cang received the order!"
"In the past, in Luoyang City, I once swept Yuan Shu's face hard. This person is narrow-minded and is a vengeful person. I guess he has been plotting against me for a day or two. Do you think Zhao Xing has fallen into Pingyang and can he be bullied by him?" Zhao Xing sneered a few times, not afraid of Yuan Shu's plot against him in Guangping.
At the same time, Yuan Shu was listening to the report of his subordinates in Guangping County Magistrate.
"Report to the prefect, all the people are ready. As long as Zhao Xing dares to come, he will be taught that he will never come back!" Yuan Shu's hard-core dog-legged Yu She said hatefully.
"Have the two generals Ji Ling and Zhang Fu arrived at the ambush site?" Yuan Shu asked.
"Report to the lord, the two generals have stationed their troops in Wu'an and Yiyang on both sides of the Yishui River as you ordered. I wish Zhao Guochang could not fly this time!" Yu She replied.
"Hmph, Zhao Guochang, if you don't let you learn about Yuan Shu's methods this time, it will be a waste of my arrangement!" Yuan Shu said coldly.
"Lord, why don't we directly send troops and general Zhao Guochang to dismember the body, but we want to invite him to the banquet in a noble way?" Yu She asked Yuan Shu.
"Doing this can block the world's long and unrequited revenge for the insulting me in the yamen that day!" Yuan Shu remembered the grudges with Zhao Xing in the past, and couldn't help but burst into anger, almost crushing the tea bowl in his hand.
"Lord, do you think Zhao Guochang dares to come after our arrangement?" Yu She asked carefully, for fear of making Yuan Shu unhappy.
"If you don't come, you can't help him! I have a secret decree issued by the court. In the near future, I will take up the post of Shangdang, be appointed as General Pingbei, and lead the prefect of Shangdang. However, the prefect of Guangping is my brother Benchu. If Zhao Xing refuses to take the post, he will be blocked in his old nest by me and be stewed in a pot!" Yuan Shu said that he couldn't help but feel in a good mood, as if he is now the prefect of Shangdang holding a elite army in his hand.
"The lord plans for a long time, and it is a blessing for She to follow her for three lives!" Yu She flattered her at the right time.
