Chapter 121: Bloody Plague
Zhang Xiu was a little embarrassed.
The soldiers of Nanyang County entered the territory much faster than the Xinye Army, after all, Xinye attacked Runan, and the three north-south rivers in Runan were like three natural barriers, not to mention that the size of a county in Runan was as big as three Yingchuan. Zhang Xiu led the troops to take Kunyang, and the Liangzhou cavalry had already rushed to Yingyin, and then Jiang Jin, the general of Duliao from Sizhou, led the army down the river from north to south, and captured seven large and small cities in Yingchuan, and the two armies converged in Yingyang.
Jiang Jin on the opposite side of the defenders had no power to return to the sky, and was smashed by the catapults brought from Sizhou, and then the defenders were stoned to death on the spot, only two days later, the last city of Yingchuan surrendered to the Yan clan.
The army was stationed outside the city, and Jiang Jin entered the main city and set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Xiu. Jiang Jin's subordinates are all Youzhou grass cowards, and Zhang Xiu's subordinates are mostly Liangzhou Qiang chiefs, although the accent makes the two sides not very happy to communicate verbally, but in the end they are both heroic or vulgar, from top to bottom three bowls of wine and belly kiss like a family, even Jiang Jin and Zhang Xiu push the cup to change the lamp and call them brothers.
The banquet was in full swing, the Liangzhou warriors all opened their fur coats and danced and drank wine, and his mother's envoy from Jingzhou Mansion came over neatly dressed, and the two fools couldn't tell which one was Zhang Xiu, and said loudly to Jiang Jin in the hall: "General Zhang, on the order of Liu Gong of Jingzhou, please withdraw your troops quickly and return to Nanyang." Liu Gong has been invited by King Chen to go north to crusade against the Yan army, Your Excellency should be the vanguard of Jingzhou's expedition, please quickly return to the county to increase troops and prepare food, in order to wait for the big war! ”
Jiang Jin, who was sitting at the top, didn't even look at him talking, anyway, he was looking for Zhang Xiu, and he didn't care about him. This time, General Liao was still squinting his eyes and sitting on his legs, humming a small song from Youzhou with his hands and dancing beautifully, and suddenly it didn't sound right, isn't this begging for the Yanzhou army, how to begg, begging for Yan?
Jiang Jin opened his eyes and glanced at the envoy twice, reached out to take the wine bowl and asked in a flat tone: "What did Your Excellency say, I didn't hear it clearly." ”
The envoy clearly had a little arrogance of the Jingxiang people, and the Liangzhou soldiers who swept the eyes of the hall with their chests and abdomen were wearing locks of fur jackets, and their eyebrows and eyes were clearly with a bit of disdain for the barbarians, and they said to the hall again: "Liu Gong has declared war on King Zhao, I hope Your Excellency will return to the county as soon as possible, and the whole army will fight again!" ”
Jiang Jin supported his right knee with his right arm and took a sip of the wine bowl, pursed his mouth, and his eyes glanced left and right like a drunken cat. The envoy repeated these words twice in succession, so that all the generals in the hall could hear it clearly, Zhang Xiu's face was pale but obviously he didn't know what to do, but the generals of the two sides of the hall didn't care so much, and they all sat down with a sense of wine at the moment, whether it was the Liangzhou general or the Youzhou general, each glared angrily at the opposite general, obviously as long as the leaders of the two sides spoke, in a blink of an eye, they could make the hall that had been drinking and talking together in a blink of an eye.
This banquet, but all the grass cowards who are still alive in the entire north, Zhang Xiu will not talk about it, Wang Dang, Li Damu, Sun Qing, Pan Ling of Jiang Jin's headquarters, as well as the Black Mountain generals Huanglong, Luo Shi and others brought out from Sizhou, the former Bai Bo generals Hu Cai and Li Le, were drunk just now, and now they are blushing and touching the handle of the knife on their waists.
The eyes of the ordinary people in the hall looked at Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu's eyes looked at Jiang Jin, and as a result, everyone looked at Jiang Jin. Jiang Jin swept around, smiled with the wine bowl 'hehe', his left hand, which was missing two fingers, clenched and loosened, and at the end of his fingers, he lightly knocked twice on the heavy wooden table, pointed his finger at the messenger, shook his head and smiled and spit lightly: "Kill." ”
After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine, stood up abruptly, and shouted to the messenger: "Kill! ”
There was no need for him to give an order, Pan Ling had already jumped up, smashed the huge wine jar with his hand, and then slashed the messenger to death with a knife, holding the knife and staring left and right. Zhang Xiu's Liangzhou generals got up one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall was tense.
Zhang Xiu got up and stopped the generals, and glanced at Hu Che'er to put away the knife. This envoy is not important, from just now Zhang Xiu was thinking about how to get out of the county, his subordinates did not have as many generals as Jiang Jin's subordinates, he did not have an advantage in the banquet, and the city was full of Sizhou garrisons. In addition to such a thing, if he fights with Jiang Jinbu again, he will definitely have no hope of retreating, and without his generals, he will not be able to return to Nanyang!
Pan Ling raised his eyebrows proudly, put away the knife and sheathed it, grabbed the messenger's arm and threw it towards the hall door more than ten steps, shouting loudly: "Throw the Jingzhou envoy out to feed the dogs!" ”
The warrior under his own hall was ordered to step into the hall to clean up the corpse, Jiang Jin sat on the hall and shouted: "Keep drinking, don't let others spoil their interest!" ”
The generals agreed with a bang, and then they pushed the cup and changed the cup in a fake way, but in the end, when such a thing happened, who could still drink like water? It's Jiang Jin, who is sitting at the top, can he pat his chest and say that what he drank is not stuffy wine?
I'm afraid I can't.
After drinking three bowls, Jiang Jin still sighed and dropped the wine bowl, and stretched out the three fingers of his left hand and asked Zhang Xiu: "What Fang Cai said, did the virtuous brother hear it?" ”
Zhang Xiu waited for him to ask, he had been sitting on pins and needles and was not happy, shrinking his head and stretching out his head with a knife, it was better to talk about life and death, nodded and said: "Yes, I heard clearly, Liu Gong reversed." ”
"Haha, it's a good Liu Gong." Jiang Jin asked: "Then what does Xuanwei Hou want, to join forces to attack me?" ”
Nothing else, Jiang Jin's subordinates have not come from Bingzhou, after replenishing the soldiers, most of them are Sizhou generals, Bai Bo will and Montenegrin will now have soldiers and horses in Sizhou Tuntian for several years, seventy percent have a family, Liu Biao wants to fight Sizhou, Jiang Jin has to supervise the soldiers and horses to participate in the war no matter what.
"The next person is here, will be here, how can it be what Zhang wants." Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly, why did they choose such a day to drink! If the envoy of Jingzhou goes to his military tent, he wants to say what he wants, but what is it called? Ran to someone's banquet and told the host, I'm going to beat your hometown, heh! "If the general wants to be, Zhang can only do it."
"I won't do anything to you, I used to go to the Wuhuan tribe to be a merchant, and I came out to snatch their horses, and my brother said, if others are like merchants on my behalf, I can kill people and sell goods; But if someone else treats me as a guest, I will return the favor, and he says it is moral. Jiang Jin rubbed his neck and said, "But I still have to tell you, my brother said that he wanted to make you General Xuanwei, Marquis of Zhao Guoting, and four hundred stone food." You will return to the north, and most of the Nanyang Taishou is not yours, after all, the war will be fought in all directions, the world has not yet been pacified, there are still many opportunities for meritorious service, and I don't have a marquis yet. ”
"Okay, it's rude to be the host to kill the guest, since the wine can't be drunk, you can go back, Jiang won't send it." Jiang Jin clapped his hands and smiled: "If you plan to conspire with Liu Jingsheng, withdraw from Yingchuan within three days, I will know, goodbye!" ”
