April 5th
The whole Wancheng fell into a kind of joyous sound, decorated with lanterns and festoons, especially the prefect's mansion in Wancheng was even more beautiful.
Except for the navy officers and soldiers who have been dispatched and the generals stationed in the city, the other scribes and generals are all here. How can these subordinates not attend the lord's wedding
"Zhu Zhi, the prefect of Wu County, give me a pair of jade arms!"
"Fenwu Duwei Sun Jing, send a painting and calligraphy!"
"Sun Fu, Lieutenant of Yang Wu, give me a hundred taels of gold!"
. . . . . . .
There is a kind of joy in the libretto one after another.
"The lord is about to bloom and loose leaves, the old lord will smile happily as if he is alive in heaven!"
"Yes, yes, the old master has been gone for so many years in a blink of an eye, and the tiger father has no dogs!" Those who said these words were Sun Ce's former Sun Jian's old subordinates, such as Huang Gai, Han Dang and others .
"After the lord has an heir, the Sun family's hegemony will be even stronger!"
"I will definitely assist the lord to establish a century-old foundation!" Those who spoke out these lofty ambitions were those newly recruited or ambitious young people under Sun Ce, such as Lu Meng, such as Ling Ye.
There are also those who are silent and don't talk much, because for them, their emotions and anger are already hidden in their chests, such as the two top counselors Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao.
Liu Mang and Lu Bu were also in the invitation ranks. The pair of night pearls presented by Liu Mang and Lu Bu were produced in the East China Sea. Yuan Shu spent a lot of money to buy them, but they were finally snatched by Chen Lan, which was cheaper. Boss Lu.
There were a total of one hundred and eighty tables for the entire banquet, and the entire prefect's mansion was filled with tables and chairs. The higher the official position, the more people would be inside.
Liu Mang and Lu Bu sat at the main table.
The arrival of Lu Bu and Liu Mang caused everyone around to look sideways. The one who attracted the most attention was Liu Mang. During the banquet a few days ago, two celebrities ran away with anger. It can be said that Liu Mang has already competed with the Confucian scholars, and those two counselors Chen Rui and Qin Song are not only famous but also have many disciples.
When the teacher was humiliated, it was natural for the students to stand up and take revenge, but even the teacher was defeated. Can these students beat Liu Mang? Don't make a fuss anymore, after weighing the pros and cons, this group of students came up with a brilliant idea, that is Wen Dou.
The so-called literary battle here is a duel of knowledge, but a duel of strategy.
Many of Chen Rui Qinsong's disciples whispered to each other, but they didn't touch the delicious food and wine on the table.
"Everyone, on behalf of Jiangdong scribes, we are going to pay respects to Liu Mang Shuzi one after another, and we must make him drunk and make a fool of himself to repay the humiliation of our benefactor!" A leading young scribe said.
"Today, the lord is very happy. The guests are all from my Jiangdong family, and there are even people who have old friends with Mr. Qiao. It can be said that half of my family is here. As long as you make Liu Mang's embarrassment, it will definitely be a joke. Let him Taste the taste of being humiliated!" A group of disciples seemed to have seen Liu Mang's appearance of being drunk and making a fool of himself, so it would be best to have a drunken madness or a dance with clothes off, that would be the best.
The banquet started slowly, and the series of red tape finally came to an end, and it was time for Liu Mang's stomach to feel comfortable after a day of hunger.
Just after being toasted by Sun Ce, before he had time to move his chopsticks, a group of scribes came over, each holding a wine glass in their hands, and a few servants behind them walked over holding the wine jar.
"Han Yang, it looks like you're in trouble!" Lu Bu raised his eyelids and could see that this group of scribes had absolutely no good intentions. It should be said that Jiangdong scribes didn't have a good impression of Lu Bujun.
"So what's the trouble, just come here, if you want to find scolding, you have to help others, right?" Liu Mang didn't care at all, these sour scholars, if you compare tricks and allusions, maybe Liu Mang is not an opponent, but if you come to debate It's all about looking for abuse, Liu Mang can directly spray him bloody, without a word of swearing.
"This is His Highness the King of Shu!" A leading scribe held up his wine glass, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu made brilliant plans in the city of Pi, and scolded Cao Bandit angrily under the open sun. He is a role model for my generation. Let me, a literati from the east of the Yangtze River, offer a toast to His Highness the King of Shu!" Smiling, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp
"Huh?!" Liu Mang was a little puzzled, would it be so nice just to toast? Liu Mang was too embarrassed to refuse when others toasted.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, it is my Jiangdong's honor for His Royal Highness the King of Shu to come here today during my lord's wedding. I would like to thank His Highness the King of Shu!" Another scribe came over and took a sip from his wine glass.
Why did you start flattering? Could it be that you have been hit by me to please me now? Liu Mang took another drink.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is still in a high position at such a young age, I wish His Royal Highness the King of Shu to make further progress!" A scribe can't speak very much, so if the King of Shu goes further, will he not become an emperor? But when he talked, he drank the wine.
Liu Mang had no choice but to drink it all down.
After drinking the third cup, there is another scribe, Liu Mang finally understands feelings. These scribes want to get themselves drunk and make a fool of themselves? Take turns!
One or two are fine, behind Liu Mang saw that there are many scribes watching their table, and they stared at each of them. Wheel fight!
Liu Mang can't bear so many people to join the battle, if it goes on like this, he can really be played by them.
Fortunately, the young master is prepared. Since you guys want to play, then compare and watch.
"Today is General Sun Ce's day of great joy. Drinking alone is so boring! Besides, I can't bear the amount of toasts you all have!" Liu Mang looked at these scribes, don't you want to play tricks? Then I'll play with you guys.
"That's great, let's come together with the toast. You guys have a drink, and I'll have a drink myself, so that I won't neglect some gentlemen, and I can also think about victory!"
"This!" The leading scribe frowned. If everyone drank together, everyone would make a fool of themselves after Liu Mang was drunk. One, could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Shu looked down on us and didn't even allow us to respect wine!"
The leading scribes used words to provoke Liu Mang. If Liu Mang didn’t drink, it meant that he looked down on the scribes from Jiangdong. If he looked down on the scribes from Jiangdong, he looked down on all the scribes. This hat was really big.
"Then how about this! How about you having one drink and I'll drink two!" Liu Mang also knew that they couldn't let go easily, and they would only take the bait one by one if they saw the dawn of their plot succeeding.
One for two? The leading scribe was moved, if the people below drank one jar, then Liu Mang would have to drink two jars, don't underestimate the twice the amount, this is a world of difference.
"Okay, then I'll drink to my heart's content!" Liu Mang clapped his hands, and two soldiers came behind him. They were soldiers from Lu Bu's army, and they were brought by Liu Mang. Each of the two soldiers was holding a wine jug in his hand. .
"Full up!" Liu Mang said, pointing to his wine glass.
A soldier came up knowingly and filled two wine glasses for Liu Mang.
"Look good, everyone!" Liu Mang drained his drink and turned over the glass to tell everyone that the glass was empty, now let's see everyone.
Under Liu Mang's gaze, the leading scribe also drank it down with a smile.
The first cup, the second cup, and the third cup The leading scribe laughed more and more cheerfully, drink it, drink it, you will know what it means to be ugly and what it means to be shameless.
The fourth cup, the fifth cup, the leading scribe's smile was a little less, he also felt a little uncomfortable, but he immediately thought of seeing this Zhuzi make a fool of himself, he held back the slight discomfort, now he is more uncomfortable than himself .
There was also a trace of struggle and entanglement on Liu Mang's face, which made the leading scribe feel much better.
The sixth cup, the seventh cup, and the eighth cup, the leading scribe felt a little nauseous, and many scribes below couldn't bear it anymore, and their faces turned red, but they were still holding on.
They want to see how much this chuzi can drink. They drank eight cups, but this chuzi drank 16 cups.
The ninth cup, the tenth cup, the eleventh cup, the leading scribe was about to vomit, his face became very purple, it was because he was holding back and didn't want to vomit, if he vomited, it would be a big embarrassment.
"Come, come, have another drink!" Liu Mang once again picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, hum, drink again, come again.
"His Royal Highness, I can't drink anymore. Farewell, farewell!" The leading scholar didn't expect Liu Mang to drink so much. This is already twenty-two cups of wine, even those warriors can't hold it. But Liu Mang, apart from being uncomfortable at the beginning, has been acting like a normal person since then.
"Don't, don't go!" Want to go? Hmm dreaming? Liu Mang grabbed the leading scribe, "A thousand cups of wine are rare for a bosom friend. Today is General Sun Ce's happy day. If you don't drink it, you won't give me face. If you don't give me face, you won't give General Sun Ce face! Come on!" ,drink!"
