Chapter 39 Hongmen Banquet (IV)

Outside Zhuozhou City, hundreds of black-armored Xi knights who were escorting Xiao Gan to sit on the ground, just chewing on the pigs and sheep sent from Zhuozhou City.

The two confidant generals of Guo Yaoshi, the two confidant generals of the Conquering Army, brought more than a hundred Lushi, which became the mat in the wild. Originally, Xiao Gan and the guards should have invited them to enter Zhuozhou City to entertain. However, these two families were ulterior motives, and Guo Yaoshi could not afford the consequences of these hundreds of cavalry entering the city. Xiao Gan pretended to be generous and ignored them, so Guo Yaoshi pretended to be stupid and entertained them in the wild.

As a result, the two small officers who were ordered to accompany them here were with them to be sunbathed on their heads, and they had to endure the cold eyes of these Xi people. Rubbing their hands could only smile.

The two of them cursed in their hearts. Needless to say, their colleagues are all in charge of the government office, and they may be able to have some camp prostitutes to entertain themselves. Not to mention anything else, it is also a pleasure for everyone to join together to have fun. Guo Duguan took everyone to Zhuozhou for more than a year, and they were busy with military affairs, collecting armor and repairing the city walls. Everyone was busy, but they struggled to survive in this turbulent and chaotic world. It was rare to have such an opportunity to relax!

However, these Xi men, except for their gloomy faces and only gave them some cold eyes, did not act too much rude, which made the two men intend to endure the surprise of the generals who were at the bottom. After giving Lu Shi, they sat down and did not remove their armor. They did not want them to help clean up the food, digging the firewood themselves, and then started barbecuing the firewood they sent. Soon, the tempting aroma of meat came from the field. The villagers picked up the wine from the big jar, some of which were still fresh and the chorus was not fully released. It can be seen that Guo Yaoshi lived a tight life and even took out his old foundation in order to entertain them.

These Xi people didn't even raise their eyelids and didn't use wine. They just chewed barbecue and Hu cakes. The hundreds of armored soldiers under Guo Yaoshi were accompanied by them. The Xi people's guards did not remove their armor, and they did not dare to remove their armor. At first, they looked nervous. Although they were sitting around on the other side, they held the weapons tightly and looked at the Xi people from time to time. Later, they gradually let go.

The food sent to them in the city was just rice with rice and a little bean branch. Guo Yaoshi was particularly kind, and he used Xiao Gan to reward the entire army. There was already sign of desolation and drought in Yan land, and it was already difficult to support the ten thousand victorious soldiers with Zhuoyi Prefectures. However, everyone held the rice, smelled the fragrance of pigs and sheep coming from beside them, and heard the stinging sound of oil dripping from the fire, and they were all swallowing their throats. From the two leaders leading the team, they looked at the stacked wine jars, and even couldn't even pull out their eyes.

The big guys formed an army of hungry people, and they fought from Liaodong back to Yan land. They were hungry everywhere. They could not collect food and grass and go to the whole army to starve. It took no time for them to smell alcohol!

The Xi people over there suddenly shouted: "The Changsheng Army, come here to eat and drink! We can't use so many, and it's a pity to lose the rest!"

At first, the two generals of the Changsheng Army knew their responsibilities, but they just refused with a smile. However, it made the officers of the Xi team lose their temper and kicked several jars of wine in a row!

Seeing the wine flowing into the soil, Changsheng Army soldiers shook their heads with heartache. The two generals looked at the camp not far away, then looked at the completely repaired Zhuozhou city wall, and finally thought that Xiao Gan was now in Zhuozhou city. He bit his teeth and said, "Don't we beg us to serve these birds and wheezing people? We shouldn't refuse their kindness, so what if we eat two glasses of wine and chew some meat? Isn't this our own thing?"

The two walked over first and carefully found a seat inside to sit down. A large bowl of wine had been brought up, and a large piece of barbecue inserted into the knife was brought up. The Xi people were still constantly calling the soldiers of the Changsheng Army sitting next to him, and they gathered together for a few seconds. Not too long, at least half of the people had arrived at the soldiers of the Xi people. They carefully took the wine and meat, looked at the faces of the people around them, and started to eat.

When these Xi people saw Changsheng Army coming, they turned against the gloomy and alert appearance just now, and only talked about some interesting things in the army and the adventures of the battle formation. They mostly looked generous. If not, here it was like Guo Yaoshi’s official office, with laughter and joy. The wine and meat were flying around the crowd, handing them over and over. Changsheng Army sat with these Xi guards, and it turned out to be happy in life!

The Changsheng Army's village under the South Gate was not too far away from them, just a place to look. At this time, the door guards were relaxed, and the officers were not in the camp, but were just having a banquet in the government office. Everyone was lazy and disregarded. The people on duty on the building also napped with weapons. Even if they were seductive to see the lively scene here, they just swallowed and sweared: "My mother, I'm drinking and wasting food in this year. If you go to the formation, you will be hot and touching the cold gun head first!"

~

As we were drunk, one of the generals sent by Changsheng Army to receive the Xi people was already indifferent, and just held the shoulders of the Xi people officer beside us: "......... Grandma, it's said that we are suffering here, but in the end, we are still suffering below? If King Xiao had not come here, we would not have known how long it would have been like this wine and meat! In our opinion, the Song people are rich, why should the king retreat northward? Why should he go straight to the south and fight the grass valley! We don't know that the Jurchens in Liaodong are also amazingly fierce! Under their hands, it is difficult to get benefits! As for the Song people, they are good customers, either go to eat theirs or just rob them! Holding in this broken bird and swallow field, everyone starves to death!"

The officer beside him was a little rational and hurriedly stabbed his colleague in the arm. The officer Xi seemed to have never heard of it, and just persuaded him diligently. Just when the relationship was too late, the seven or eight hundred people sitting on the ground felt the ground trembling slightly, and the wine bowl placed on the reed mat had layers of ripples.

Several Xi officers looked at each other and all their faces were sunk. The officer of the ever-winning army was still drunk and looked at him with a confused look: "What... is this?"

The Xi people officer next to him gritted his teeth and smiled: "You think the Song people are very good?"

"I...I didn't say it! I just said that the Southerners are much richer than the Jurchens......Where we go there, we just want to eat a bite of food. If the Jurchens can't eat it, they just eat the Southerners..."

The drunken officer was still murmuring to explain that his colleague had already found something wrong, so he quietly reached out to touch the weapon on his waist, and secretly tightened his muscles.

The chief officer of the Xi people laughed: "There are tens of thousands of Song people lying on their dry bones in Baigou River. If you think they are good, you can go and accompany those Song people!"

Amid the laughter, he had already stood up, and with a choke, he pulled out the straight knife from his waist!

The drunken officer's colleague also stood up suddenly and reached out to draw the knife: "No--" Before he could say the good word, he had already stabbed the short knife straight through the two armored clothes in front and back between his ribs! The remaining good word turned into a mouthful of dirty blood, which sprayed out and fell on the wine bowl!

The Xi officer didn't even look at him. The long sword drew an arc in the air, and passed through the neck of the drunken officer of the Changsheng Army. A head that still widened its eyes rose and fell with blood. The head fell on the reed mat, and it was just a spinning. The eyes were still frozen in the initial panic!

"Do it!"

With a loud shout, these Xi people knights burst out and pulled out the weapons they had been wearing. They just slashed left and right among the crowd. The human artery was cut off, and blood shot out, dyeing everything around them red. The screams suddenly sounded, and their feet were stomping around, trampling the wine and meat on the ground into a black blood color, making the wild banquet that was still lively just now turned into a chaotic Shura field!

The soldiers of the Changsheng Army were even worse than the officers who led them. Many people not only did not hold their weapons, but even had their armor removed. They were only concerned about eating and drinking. The Xi people suddenly rose up, like tigers entering the flock of sheep, killing them without any resistance! Everyone was screaming, and some were just rolling around on the ground, trying to take it out in a daze, but were stepped on by countless feet. Countless screams of voice finally gathered into a voice: "We are trapped!"

The Xi officer in charge of the team was covered with flesh and blood, and he didn't know how many Changsheng troops had been cut down in an instant. He just shouted loudly: "Kill all these rebels and get on the horse and grab the camp!"

His long shouts and the screams of the soldiers of the always-winning army were slaughtered, could not conceal the sound of muffled thunder coming from afar. These muffled thunders had turned into clearly evident sounds of galloping horses. At this moment, there were countless military fire tubes in the distance that were ignited and shot into the sky.

During the day, these long feathered arrows with fire tubes only brought out long smoke traces in the sky. Hundreds of smoke traces cut through the sky south of Zhuozhou City, forming an arc to half-encircle the city. It seemed as if there were countless giants in the sky, spreading their fingers to flatten the city in one fell swoop!

In the military camp, the lazy soldiers on the building wiped their eyes and looked at everything in front of them in disbelief. There was only a sound in their throat, and they couldn't make any sound. He looked back at the city wall not far away in a daze, and saw that there were also sparse heads poking out of the battlements, just looking at everything in front of them.

It was not until the rockets all over the sky rose into the sky and pulled out long smoke traces. The soldier on the tower opened his voice: "The Xi man lied to me! The Xi man rushed to the city!"

As soon as these signals were sent out in the south, the first shout came faintly in Zhuozhou City. These shouts became loud in the blink of an eye and turned into a huge roar. However, many people were shouting together: "Guo Yaoshi rebelled against Liao! We will capture the thief with King Xiao!"

In the sight of the soldiers in Wanglou, a surging black wave had already appeared in the sky. I wonder how many knights were urging their horses to run towards Zhuozhou City. In front of the cavalry formation, rows of weapons were shining with dazzling cold light, causing endless smoke and dust to flow straight towards Zhuozhou!

In the Guo Yaoshi Office, Guo Dalang had slowly emerged from the crowd. His tall body was straight and straight, and the cheerful and easy-going face that was familiar to the victorious army in the past was as quiet as water.

Xiao Gan smiled and patted Guo Yaoshi on the shoulder beside him, and walked up to him. Guo Yaoshi also stood beside him with a calm face and did not speak. He wanted to see what Xiao Gan could make. Now others are in the yamen, surrounded by his victorious generals and guards outside the yamen. How could Xiao Gan do this here?

But his heart, for some reason, just sank involuntarily, sinking downwards.

Xiao Gan walked to Guo Dalang and also smiled and patted Guo Dalang on the shoulder: "You young man, isn't Dong Xiao Chou's son?"

Guo Dalang bowed quietly: "That's right."

Xiao Gan laughed: "Dong Xiaochou did not follow the military order, but he had to join forces with Lizhou rebel Chu Shizhong and rebel against our Daliao. However, he was captured by a certain family and his head was cut off! Why did you become a fake in Guodu?... Is it here? You wear weapons, aren't you trying to avenge your father?"

Guo Dalang shook his head lightly, his face still remained unmoved: "My subordinates do not want to seek revenge from King Xiao...... My father led his own army, traversing Liaodong, disobeying military orders, and intending to rebel against Liao. The king captured and killed his father, and he was also his own leader. His subordinates had nothing to resent... But some people did not. They encouraged their father to raise an uprising and promised to help him. As a result, during the banquet, they suddenly captured his father and handed over it to the king. My father's confidant Luo Qinghan, and Dong Zhongsun raised an army to seek revenge for his father, and also attacked him by this person. He also accepted his subordinates as fake sons, in order to annex thousands of troops and horses left by his father. Dong Guo's two camps were together, and the remaining troops of the resentful army had to surrender one after another, so that they could have today's ever-victorious army!"

In the courtyard, there was a silence.

Yaoshi Guo stood there, his expression calmed down, but he just listened as if nothing had happened.

The generals of the ever-winning army in the courtyard had different expressions. Guo Yaoshi's confidant naturally turned pale and looked at the remaining troops of Dong Xiaochou who were mixed around him with caution. Dong Xiaochou's original subordinates also stared at them fiercely. The other generals who suspiciously surrendered the army camp looked awkward. They looked here and there, at a loss.

The current situation is undoubtedly that Xiao Gan has no good intentions towards Guo Yaoshi. Xiao Gan is powerful and Guo Yaoshi is weak, so it goes without saying that this is the case. Except for Guo Yaoshi's confidants, others will certainly consider and consider the situation when facing such a large army. Guo Yaoshi has always been very secretive about Dong Xiao Chou. He accepted Guo Dalang as a fake, and he was very kind. Many people thought that Guo Yaoshi was righteous at the beginning, so they chose to incorporate it into the Eternal Army. Now Guo Dalang has been teasing his face and only then did he know that Guo Yaoshi is such a person!

Many people didn't care whether to stay in Liao or join Song. Anyway, as long as they had soldiers in their hands, they wouldn't have no food to eat in Yan. Xiao Gan pressed them, and many people might really choose to rebel against Guo Yaoshi. After all, Guo Yaoshi only had the ever-winning army for only one year, and all the troops had not yet recovered.
