Chapter 21: Pershing's Banquet
The hundred horsemen stationed in Yan's Wu injected a shot in the arm into this land, not to mention that the servants in Wu Fort were stable, and even the hearts of the people living in the west of Fanyang City had a bottom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, one afternoon, Yanbei returned to Fan Yang to face the rebels, and the matter has spread in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, in the end, they were all villagers in the street in the past, and that night someone came to Wubao with something to present a famous thorn, and the people who came were all the three elders of the surrounding townships, or the landlords and gentry.
Their purpose is one, to use the relationship between the former villagers and neighbors to find out the tone of Yanbei, the leader of the rebel army, or to go further and get some protection from Yanbei for their hometown.
However, these people didn't stay long, and hurriedly left after saying a few words, just asking Yanbei to give them a little more protection when he was in Fanyang.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether they protect or not, they have been living their lives like the same all their lives, and what they are afraid of is that the rebels will harm their neighbors...... The rebel lieutenant named Pershing, with a three-foot posture, broke through seven Wu forts like bandits and robbers in the first day, and I heard that he killed many people.
Where can people not be afraid?
However, the rebels did not do much harm to the civilian leaders, after all, even if they did something, they would not be able to make any money...... Besides, even the rebels were raised by their parents, and they would not continue to plague endlessly.
The so-called war disasters are probably like this.
"Brother, you don't know, not long after you left, there was news that Shi Taoqian was assassinated in the Juma River, and you ran away...... It was a very difficult time at home. ā
Yan Bei and Yan Dong sat on the top, the flame in the bronze beast lamp in the hall had a faint light, it was when the wine passed the three rounds and everyone was slightly drunk, and the brave warriors under Yan Erlang in the hall drank and ate meat, but the two brothers in the hall were a little dull.
Even, it's a little boring.
Yan Dong poured bitter water on Yanbei vigorously, and Yanbei could only hold his head and listen to his brother's complaints.
"The people from the county government office came a few times, but then there was no trace of you and no follow-up, but those neighbors never came to visit again." Yan Dong drank some wine, and while lying on a few cases and pouring wine into the bottle, he shook his head and said: "At that time, they avoided you, but now they are full of enthusiasm, something!" ā
Yan Bei drank a bottle of wine, looked at the third brother and smiled lightly: "San Lang, look at how much weight you have lost, it is not so easy to take charge of family affairs for the first time?" ā
"It's not difficult to do things at home, but it's too messy, and at first the loss of a cow at home can make the little brother anxious for several days, but now it's also in order." Yan Dong had a wry smile on his face, and suddenly looked up at Yan Bei and raised his wine and saluted: "Compared to my brother, I'm afraid that the tribulations of the younger brother will not be as good as in case, brother, please drink!" ā
After Yanbei left, he realized how difficult life was, and so many chaotic things didn't have to be considered by him when his brother was there...... He complained so much, in fact, what he wanted to complain about the most was how his brother had been away for so long.
He also heard the news of his brother in Jizhou, when he left, he still rode more than 20 horses, but he returned with elite soldiers and horses, it is rumored that Yanbei has thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of Jizhou, outsiders envy the majesty of Yanbei, it is his turn to be his own brother, but he is worried day and night, and all kinds of dangers make him can't imagine if he has not experienced it.
"That's right, I saw you draw your sword on top of Wu Fort today, and you dare to confront more than a hundred soldiers with just three people, haha!" Yan Bei drank the wine, pursed his lips and smiled: "I haven't fallen into the prestige of my Yan clan!" ā
Thinking of the scene in the daytime, Yan Dong wore a robe and drew his sword on top of Wu Fort, Yan Bei's expressionless face overflowed with a smile, although their brothers have different temperaments, knowledge, and experiences, but the temperament of not bowing their heads in their bones is exactly the same!
At this moment, a slave ran in from outside the hall, ran through the long and narrow hall to the brothers, and whispered: "Master, the marquis is here again during the day!" ā
Jiang Jin, who was fighting with Zhang Lei Gong in the hall, stood up when he heard the words, pulled out his knife with a sense of wine, and said to Yanbei with a stalk around his neck: "Erlang wait for a while, Jiang will behead that person's dog!" ā
"Sit down and drink." Yan Bei waved his hand, and then asked the slave, "What are you going to do?" ā
"He brought a name thorn and asked to enter the castle." The servant replied respectfully, and at the end did not forget to mention it, "Just a few people." ā
Yan Bei smiled, raised his eyebrows at the servant and said, "Let him come in, I guess he came with a message, and see what Pershing wants to do." ā
He estimated that Pershing had relented, otherwise he could have sent troops over, Pershing had 3,000 men and horses under his hands, and if he wanted to do it, he would have already leveled the Yan family, and his own hundred horsemen, even if he could rush out, he would not be able to get any benefits.
What's more, one hundred to three thousand? How easy is it to say?
No matter what Pershing thinks, Chen Shuang, who is also a military marquis, has great respect for Yan Bei, and when he came up, he gave a salute of ten gold and said: "Please calm your anger and forgive your mistakes at noon." ā
"Noon? The military marquis doesn't have to think about it, Yan doesn't remember it anymore. Yan Bei laughed, and then ordered someone to present Chen Shuang with a futon and a few cases, and invited him to sit down and drink, but Chen Shuang obviously didn't mean it, and said again: "Thank you Yan Junhou for a lot, there is still one thing to come down to, Pan Duwei set up a banquet at the Fanyang County Office, and I will personally compensate you tomorrow, I hope you can appreciate it." ā
"Okay, put down the famous thorn, and tell Pan Duwei that I will go tomorrow."
Chen glanced sideways at Jiang Jin, who was sitting next to him with a knife, and secretly wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, and then carefully retreated, but when he entered the hall, even the clothes behind him were soaked with sweat.
After Chen Shuang went out, Jiang Jin re-sheathed the ring knife, picked up the wine bottle and looked left and right, looked at each other and laughed with Yanbei's subordinates, and then immediately toasted Yanbei with the wine jug: "Erlang is so majestic, not only scared this military marquis to the point of urine, but also made Perxing soft, powerful, amazing!" ā
All the subordinates laughed, and Yan Bei also celebrated with wine, but Yan Dong found a trace of worry in his brother's eyes.
"Brother, but what do you think is wrong?" Yan Dong asked in a low voice, "I see you're a little worried." ā
Yan Bei nodded lightly, catering to his subordinates with a smile on his face, and said to the third brother as if he was careless: "Pershing is arrogant, and he doesn't care about Wang Zheng, who is a captain, how can he treat me so politely?" I don't believe that Yan has such a reputation when he takes a city! ā
He knew very well that he did have some fame among Zhang Ju Zhangchun's rebels, after all, not everyone could easily take the city, but it was clear that he did not think that he had reached the prestige of being able to intimidate Pershing, who had a heavy army, by galloping 300 miles.
Although Yanbei is crazy, he is not stupid enough to be blindly confident.
"What does the brother think?"
"At least Yan's face will be lost, and at worst, Yan's life will be harmed!" Yan Bei shook his head lightly and said, "Other than that? I'm afraid there is no other possibility. ā
Yan Dong's eyes widened, he absolutely trusted his brother's judgment, and immediately put down the wine bottle in his hand and said, "Then brother is going to a banquet tomorrow?" ā
"When two soldiers are at war, they want to take their breath; The two armies are facing each other, and they must destroy their front! To put it bluntly, a man is alive, whether he is a man or a fighter, he can't lose in momentum, once he is robbed of his arrogance, he has already lost! Yan Bei narrowed his eyes, looked at the direction of the Wubao gate that was facing him, and said in a deep voice: "Since Pershing is going to set up a Hongmen banquet to invite, Yan Mou is going to go there no matter what." ā
"What's more, I'm not Emperor Gao, so Pershing is even less worthy of being an overlord!"
After Yan Bei finished speaking softly, he patted the case and asked, "Which cousin has a lot of wine and which one has a lot of food?" ā
All the cadres laughed, they were all from the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and they were poor and afraid of hunger, which one thought they ate too much? They applauded and shouted.
"In that case, tomorrow I will choose ten good players and go to the banquet with Yan, okay?"
ā¦ā¦
Chen Shuang returned to Fanyang City, and trotted all the way into the county government office, since the rebels took over the city defense, the people did not dare to go out at night, and all closed their doors so that the road was dark.
At the county office, Pershing was waiting for his response in the study, and as soon as he saw him enter the door, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, will Yanbei come tomorrow?" ā
The study of the county official temple was full of books, and this was not a place to deal with official documents, but a room where the county lord rested, but now they have all been given up and become a place for Pershing to deal with affairs. Although Pershing is a martial artist, his background is much stronger than Yanbei, and he can become a confidant of Taishou Zhang Chun, so he naturally has some ability.
"Back to the capital lieutenant, Yan Junhou agreed, tomorrow at noon, he will come to the banquet."
"Yay! You go and arrange for the knife men to ambush on both sides of the hall, and arrange the screens that can hide people overnight! Pershing only said his plan at this time, pointed at Chen Shuang and said: "You must choose capable players, at least ten, no, arrange thirty people to ambush in the hall, listen to me throw a cup as a number, and kill them together!" ā
"Huh? Captain, do you want to kill Yanbei during the banquet? Chen Shuang only knew at this time that Pershing invited Yanbei to a banquet in order to get rid of this opponent, and couldn't help but feel worried: "Duwei, that Yanbei is famous for its bravery and bravery, and once led dozens of people to rush into the city and ...... the middle magistrate of Puyin County."
"Don't say that, I know he dares to fight and kill, but if he dares to lose your face like that, he is breaking Pan's face, so why don't you kill?" Pershing waved his hand and said, "Kill and kill, what can you do?" If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers and horses were all Zhang Taishou's subordinates, Pan would have led the troops to level the Yan family! ā
"That'...... Do you want to put a few dead soldiers next to you tomorrow to prevent Yanbei dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry? ā
Pershing shook his head and frowned somewhat arbitrarily, "No need! If I put on a dead man, others will think that I am afraid of him! ā
With that, Pershing walked out of the study, looked at the starry sky and smiled gloomily.
"Yan Erlang, I'll give you another chance tomorrow, if you still don't repent, Pan will accept your little life for God!"
