It is said to be a night banquet, but in fact, before the sun sets, the big tent is set up for the banquet. It is forbidden in the military, even if there is a banquet, it will not be held until late at night. Generally speaking, it is from Shen Shi to You Shi. Now that the beginning of autumn has just passed, the days are still long and the nights are short.
After taking off the heavy iron armor and changing into a thin leather armor, Yi Yan cleaned up neatly and headed to the big tent with four confidants. Before walking outside the tent, he saw a battalion officer strode forward and saluted, "Please, General, remove your sword."
At the banquet, how can you allow people to wear swords? Not only can you not bring a sword, but you have to take off your boots to be seated. This avoids to the greatest extent that someone hides the blade and threatens the life of the coach.
Hearing this, Yi Yan nodded, took out the scabbard from his waist, and put it in the opponent's hand. The man's eyes swept across Yi Yan's body, making sure there was nothing in the way, then turned sideways: "Please enter the account."
Unarmed, going deep into the siege, if there is something wrong in his heart, there should always be some clues on his face. However, Yi Yan looked calm, and entered the camp just like that.
In the tent, the incense is fragrant, and the breeze is breezy. Even when he is out, Wang Jun will not be slow for a minute. In this big tent, there was an ice basin, which easily offset the unfinished heat. As soon as he saw Yi Yan and the others, Wang Jun, who was on the throne, smiled and said, "General Yi is here, please take the seat."
Sure enough, the seat of honored guest was given up, but he was not sitting alone, and beside him were the generals and ministers under Wang Jun's account. Several school officials entered the last seat and sat with them on the east wall.
This time, several people were divided, and they couldn't find a chance to attack. However, with this arrangement, no one can make a mistake. After all, there is a difference in honor and inferiority, but this time, there is a sense of closeness and respect.
Everyone was seated, and Wang Jun took the lead in toasting: "This attack and merger will be a victory."
The generals below responded in unison, and Yi Yan also raised the wine bar high. This banquet was not only for him as a new recruit, but also for the oath banquet to attack Bingzhou. No wonder Wang Jun would put on such a grand gesture.
The war is imminent, Wang Jun will not let his subordinates binge drink. After drinking only one round, the wine was withdrawn and replaced with delicacies. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Wang Jun's meal this time consisted of leopard fried pork and Hu Pao meat. Pan-fried leopards are roasted whole cows and whole sheep on the fire, and then cut into pieces to eat. Sliced fat mutton and fat, seasoned with onion, ginger, pepper, salt and other seasonings, put into the washed lamb belly, dig a pit and simmer with lime soil. These two are the usual cooking methods of the nomadic Hu people, and they also make this large tent full of military men, and there is no lack of Xianbei Jiehu, a bit more sturdy.
After all, he was born in a noble family, and Wang Jun did not cut the flesh himself, but was served by his maid. But he was not idle, and looked at the people below calmly. That's all for the scribes, those generals eat meat, and there are not a few who get used to it, and the beards that are still edible are covered with grease. And the newly recruited Jie Jiang was completely different. His food was unusually elegant, and he was even more reserved than the genus from a poor family.
Unfortunately, such a posture did not show elegance, but instead gave birth to unreasonable weirdness. His high nose, deep eyes, blue eyes and white skin all showed his alien identity. To imitate Chinese etiquette in this way is as good as a slap in the face, making people giggling. What makes him act like this? Wang Jun knew something. Back then, as a concubine, even if he was humiliated, he would never lose his temper. What for? Just because of unwillingness! Not willing to be despised by others, not willing to be subservient to others. This heavy unwillingness is the origin of his status today.
Ambition will never be bound by identity, it will only become more and more ruthless and more intense!
With a smile on his lips, Wang Jun opened his mouth and said, "I heard that General Yi has passed the weak crown and has not yet married a wife. But it's hard to find beautiful ladies in Bingzhou?"
Yi Yan put down the silver spoon in his hand and said respectfully, "The last general came from a humble background, how dare you ask for a noble man?"
He only said he didn't want to, not that he didn't want to. How could Wang Jun not understand the difference? With a laugh, he said: "If this battle is won, a certain family will have its own girl, who can be matched with a general."
This is not the most crucial point in the agreement between the two, but Wang Jun regarded it as a reward and threw it out directly. The effect of these words is also very obvious, and the face of the Jie person has been calm, and there are waves. It seems like a memorial, but also like a joy, but for a moment, it is uncontrollable and exposed to the surface.
"The general will be very kind to the last commander, and the last commander will be his own brain!" Yi Yan clasped his fists and bowed his head, and replied loudly.
This attitude is not something that can be pretended casually. Wang Jun's face was even more joyful: "If you have a strong general like Boyuan, you can only achieve great things. Hahaha ~ Liang Zixi's stubborn son, if you lose, you will not be able to use people."
The identity of Weng's son-in-law was fixed, and Wang Jun naturally changed his name. Yi Yan lowered his head even lower, showing more humility.
Seeing this, Wang Jun was no longer polite: "Now that several counties in Jizhou are in the hands of Bo Yuan, what are your plans?"
"Inspector Ding has not recovered from his illness for a long time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to live for a few days. Now most of Jizhou is in the hands of the general, and the post of governor of Jizhou should fall under the name of the general." Yi Yan replied simply.
Wang Jun said with a smile: "Boyuan put down the bandits and bandits, he worked hard and made great achievements, and the rare thing is that he is also quite appropriate in governing the prefectures and counties. If I can be the governor, I should let Boyuan serve as the prefect of Jizhou."
This is the early distribution of spoils. Wang Jun was also quite happy, and directly ceded the dispatch of Jizhou Governor to Yi Yan. However, this division is not necessarily without selfishness. If this battle is won, maybe there will be another post as the governor of Bingzhou, but Yiyan was born in Bingzhou. Jizhou is much safer, and the military power is also in his own hands, so he is not afraid of him going out of the sky.
Yi Yan was also refreshing: "Thank you, General! Speaking of which, I also have something to give to General..."
"Oh?" Wang Jun became interested, "What is it?"
Yi Yan said: "It will be delivered tonight, but please wait for a while."
Unexpectedly, this person left some suspense, and Wang Jun was not annoyed: "In that case, let's have a feast first. Come on, dance and music."
This swearing-in dance music is not like the usual extravagant sound, but a Hu dance performed by a group of athletes. Knives come and go, drums rumble, just looking at it makes one's blood boil. Wang Jun's confidants and favorite generals also all looked enthusiastic, and could not wait to immediately go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. During the banquet, Wang Jun did not forget his business, and asked some inside information about Bingzhou. With the distribution of benefits and the subordination of in-laws, this time Yi Yan seemed to know everything and said everything, which made all the generals in the account quite useful. The hard bone of Bingzhou doesn't look as hard to chew as expected.
In this way, time flies by quickly. In the tent, candle torches were lit early, and the lights were bright. Everyone is full of food and wine, it is time for the feast to finish.
At this moment, someone outside the tent said, "General Yi is here to offer congratulations."
As soon as Wang Jun heard it, he became energetic: "It was really delivered? What is it!"
Yi Yan had already stood up: "This item should be presented by the last commander himself."
Saying that, he strode to the front of the tent, took a wooden box from the attendant, held it in his hand, and turned around and walked towards the main seat.
Logically speaking, the throne is noble, and it is difficult for others to approach. But this is a congratulation, and no matter what is sent, the guards outside the camp should have experienced it and there will be no danger. Wang Jun also sat there generously, smiling and watching Na Jiehu step forward.
"This was taken by the commander at the end of the day, and together with the land in the same county, it is dedicated to the general." Yi Yan knelt in front of the case, raised his hands high, and held up the wooden box.
A county? After only one case, Wang Jun smelled a very familiar smell. What came from the box was blood. What else can connect blood and territory in one place
As if guessing what was in the box, Wang Jun sat up excitedly: "Hurry up and present it!"
The maid next to her hurriedly took the box and put it on the table. Wang Jun opened the lid of the box with his own hands.
Seeing the contents in the box, the maids standing behind Wang Jun all covered their lips, and there were a few soft hiss that could not be suppressed and came out.
There was a human head in that box! Even after being pickled in white ash, the summer corpse cannot be avoided. At first glance, it is simply hideous.
"This, this is..." Wang Jun not only did not dodge, but his eyes showed excitement.
"It is the head of Wang Ping, the prefect of Wei County." Yi Yan replied, "All the counties including Wei County, Guangping, and Yangping have fallen into the hands of the great general!"
He dedicated the Hebei counties! As a result, most of Sizhou is in the pocket! Wang Jun couldn't hide the joy on his face any longer, and he patted his palms and laughed: "Bo Yuan's methods are unparalleled! Come, bring wine!"
Such a gift can no longer be praised by mere words, and the discussion in the account is also buzzing. Many generals showed envious expressions. This is a great achievement! It's no wonder that the Governor will value this son so much, it is really cruel and tough! It's just that this is the second time he has betrayed the master, can he really use it with confidence
How could Wang Jun not have thought of this, those gray-blue eyes were close at hand, like a wolf, radiant and arrogant. There is ambition, calculation, and danger in those eyes. But Wang Jun was not afraid. On the contrary, pride and intoxication surged in his chest. Besides him, Wang Jun and Wang Pengzu, who else could use such a dangerous person? Just like Duan's and Yuwen's two Xianbei species, this Jieren should also be used by him!
Holding a full glass of wine in his hand, Wang Jun laughed loudly: "Bo Yuan, drink this glass full!"
What an honor this is! Wang Jun looked flattered at the Jie Ren, stood up slowly, and stretched his hand forward. He is about to take the wine glass, and maybe he will kneel and kowtow again. Then he led the troops and swept Bingzhou for him. Just like Zhang Wenyuan and Le Wenqian under Wei Wu's command, they made great achievements...
Unable to hide the lust, the smile on Wang Jun's face grew bigger and bigger. The hand reached out to the edge of the cup.
It never stopped.
His wrist suddenly tightened, and Wang Jun felt that he was pulled by a huge force and dragged out of the case! Immediately, the world was spinning in front of him, and something was strangling his neck, so tight that he couldn't even breathe.
With a bang, the case was overturned and the cup was overturned, and most of the civil and military members suddenly stood up, exclaiming.
"General!" "Commander!" "How dare you thieves!"
What's going on here? Wang Jun was blinded for a while, not knowing where he was. However, the next moment, the throat hurt, and a sharp object poked on it.
"The general gave the wine, and the last general is ashamed to be worthy."
Behind him, there was a voice, not too fast or slow, with a calm tone, which was the opposite of the sharp object that was poking at the throat with the arm around the neck.
A chill surged up to the bone, and Wang Jun struggled to open his mouth: "You... you... swindle surrender!"
How dare he do this? In the tent, dozens of favorite generals and personal soldiers were all around. Outside the tent, there is a full 40,000 strong army, an airtight camp. How dare he do this!
The man behind him did not return to him, but raised his head and rushed into the tent. The personal guard who drew his sword and drew his bow said, "Why, are you going to oppose it? Wouldn't it kill the general's life if you are so arrogant?"
Something sticking to the throat got another point, and something sticky dripped down. The exclamations around were even louder, and there were already counselors shouting hysterically: "Put down the bow and crossbow! Put it down! Don't hurt the general!"
Wang Jun opened his mouth, but was unable to squeeze out any words. He should have ordered the crossbowmen to fire arrows to kill this daring madman. But he dared not. What touched his throat was just a copper hairpin, but what was the difference between its sharp edge and a dagger? As long as it is gently sent, it can kill people immediately. He still doesn't want to die, he still has ambitions, he has unfinished dominance...
Those soldiers hesitated, no one had ever encountered such a bizarre and terrifying thing. Perhaps they were frightened by the cold expression of the Jie Ren, or perhaps they were frightened by the blood in the master's throat. Many people hesitated and lowered their hands, and some even threw away the swords in their hands.
However, they dare not act rashly, some dare! The four figures suddenly moved and rushed towards the frightened civil and military!
They also have no weapons in their hands. However, the wine barons, bronze plates, silver spoons, and even their hairpins and robes during the banquet became deadly weapons! With just one blow, the sword grabbed it. The bloody rain is howling!
"Ah!" A maid couldn't hold back any longer and screamed.
An assassin was beheaded by the guards who reacted, but the other three blood-soaked people have gathered around Yi Yan and Wang Jun. During the banquet, there was blood, and I don't know how many generals and counselors were hacked to death. These are Wang Jun's henchmen and the key to leading this army. Who else can give orders
"Stop! Step back!" Wang Jun's eyes were red, and he roared.
I can't let this group of dead men succeed again! And the two thousand light cavalry, we must send someone to eradicate it as soon as possible! But if there is such a commotion in the account, can anyone remember it? The surviving advisors and generals must be allowed to retreat outside the tents in order to make arrangements and rescue him from danger.
Wang Jun's words are more effective than everyone else's words. The personal soldier who wanted to rush in stopped again.
However, Yi Yan spoke up: "General, why should you let these people retreat? Why don't we get in and have a good talk?"
As he spoke, his footsteps moved. The big tent is divided into two layers, the back is the sleeping tent, and there are only female family members and attendants. Wang Jun was dragged by the man, like a lamb in the mouth of a fierce tiger, unable to even struggle. Seeing that the curtain was about to cover the Asura field in front of him, Wang Jun panicked.
"Yi... General Yi, everything is negotiable. As long as you put down your weapons, I will let your troops leave safely..."
"What does the general think the last will be here?" The man behind him snorted coldly and asked back.
"This..." Wang Jun gritted his teeth, "I can retreat and make an alliance with Liang Zixi! Jizhou will also be handed over to you!"
Life and death are at stake, Wang Jun said very simply. Nothing is more important than your own life. If the site is lost, it can be retaken. Life is dead, everything is fine!
"Then it depends on the sincerity of the generals. Dare to ask where are the seals, the military talismans, and the customs clearance tokens?"
That voice was icy and piercing, causing Wang Jun's back to feel a chill again: "Yes, on my waist. I can give you all of this, and I can make all of your followers retreat..."
This is a slowdown. Wang Jun's anger was equally fiery. Who can bear this kind of conspiracy? Once he escapes, he will let this son die without a place to be buried!
A hand reached into the bag around his waist and swept away everything. The hairpin loosened for a moment: "Thank you, General."
Wang Jun was relieved, just as he was about to say something, the retreating hairpin slammed into his throat. How dare he? ! Wang Jun gasped loudly in his throat, and covered the leaking pocket-like neck with both hands. The body swayed and fell to the ground.
How dare he kill himself? Doesn't he want to run away? ! He has 40,000 soldiers and horses! Four… million…
Horror and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and eventually he was defeated and became a pool of stagnant water.
Yi Yan shook off the blood on his hands, and without looking at the corpse, he whispered, "Do it!"
