Chapter 126 Talking Wine About Heroes
In the third year of Zhonghe, mid-April.
Li Keyong returned to Hedong with the achievements of destroying Huang Chao.
When passing through Bianzhou, he was invited by Zhu Wen, and the people who came to send the greetings said that Zhu Wen had already set up a feast in Bianzhou City to celebrate the Hedong Army.
Li Keyong couldn't help but let his younger brothers Li Kening and Li Kexiu lead the army first; he prepared and took the generals Shi Jingsi, Yuchi Jin, Li Cunzhang and others to lead the three hundred soldiers to the banquet the next day.
It is worth mentioning that by Shi Jingsi's recommendation, Yuchi Jin, whose pseudonym Han Jin, was regarded as a guest of honor by Li Keyong and always kept by his side. Qi Yi was able to convince Yuchi Jin to use it for his own purposes.
In Li Keyong's eyes, Han Jin's weight is really not light.
There are many powerful generals in the Hedong army, but there are very few generals who can defeat Yuchi Jin in a one-on-one battle; the key is that Han Jin not only has the courage to the three armies, but also has an amazing brother.
Li Keyong has long heard of Han Zhi's news. He is indeed a character. He can use a common man to make money by making a fortune, and deceive Chen Fan into using 8,000 guards and annexing nearly 30,000 Li Hanzhi's command. Such a heroic act is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Moreover, according to the latest news, Han Zhi had killed Shi Pu and Chen Fan and entered Xuzhou. The man held 70,000 soldiers in his hand, and the limelight was unparalleled. Even he dared not underestimate it.
Just as Zhu Wen realized that Li Keyong threatened him, why didn't Li Keyong be afraid of Zhu Wen? If you keep a move, you will always be prepared for any trouble.
If Han Jin can be taken back into the pit and then lead Han Zhi, the big fish, is undoubtedly like putting a nail behind Zhu Wen, why don’t he do it?
Bianzhou, Kaifeng, later generations, was the capital of Junyi County, and the county town was Bianzhou City.
At the gate of the city, Zhu Wen, the governor of Xuanwu Jie, led many civil and military officials, waiting there in a bustling manner, patiently waiting for Li Keyong's arrival.
At this time, Zhu Wen was still extremely grateful for Li Keyong's fear. Although Li Keyong helped him eliminate Huang Chao, relieved Chenzhou's danger, and allowed him to complete the task entrusted by Tang Ting, he was still worried that Li Keyong would make a mistake in his plan.
However, Jingxiang's advice to him was to stabilize the Li family and make friends with the prime ministers to promote and grow. Therefore, he pretended to hold a banquet for the Hedong Army.
A vast amount of smoke and dust rose from afar, and a team of cavalry flew over.
Before the person arrived, Xiao Lin, a solemn aura came to his face. The leader was twenty-eight or nine years old, with a single eye. He was the commander of the Shatuo people. He was the governor of Hedong and Li Keyong, who was the governor of Hedong and controlled the prosperous lands of 12 prefectures in Hedong.
Around Li Keyong, there were more than a dozen generals like stars, the most conspicuous of which was a silver-armored sword and a handsome and handsome general.
The man was on the left side of Li Keyong. On both sides of his left and right, there was a strong man as strong as a bear and violent as a tiger. Even the generals under Li Keyong's command, Shi Jingsi, Li Cunzhang, Li Cunxin, etc. could only follow behind or beside him. It can be seen that his status was absolutely extraordinary. Other generals from Hedong seemed to be trying to guard all this person and Li Keyong in the middle.
When Zhu Wen saw Li Keyong, he bowed his hands and laughed: "Haha, the general manager rode his horse and raised his sword, and he was invincible. Huang Chao's thief was vulnerable. Now he has won the flag and returned triumphantly. Zhu has already prepared a little wine to welcome the general manager to celebrate the achievements."
Youdao is to stretch out your hands and not hit the smiling people. Zhu Wen smiled and greeted him. Li Keyong naturally knew how to be polite. After turning over and dismounting, he laughed and said to him: "Haha, Governor Zhu is polite. Huang Chao is the leader. The one who benefits the most should be Governor Zhu. We are here to defend the world and eliminate the rioters, but we just do our duty as a minister."
The two of them appeared to be harmonious, but in fact they were in harmony. Li Keyong looked down on Zhu Wen, who was born as a thief, from the bottom of his bones. Zhu Wen was a false condemnation and wanted to temporarily form the strongest warlord Li Keyong, so as to gain a chance to breathe, was insincere.
Both sides made some courtesy and walked into the county town hand in hand and went straight to the Governor's Office. There was a banquet there, which was deliberately prepared by Zhu Wen for Li Keyong.
The Governor's Office in Junyi County is in the banquet hall, and the host and guest seats are just settled.
The maid came in full bloom, and there were endless streams of wine, delivering glasses, serving tea, and everyone present greeted each other and toasted and praised each other. For a moment, it was very lively, and it was like a thousand cups of wine.
In the open land in the middle of the hall, there were actors and dancers dancing together, beautiful and peaceful.
In the leisurely manner, Zhu Wen raised his wine and raised his glass to Li Keyong with a brief gesture, and said with a sigh: "Since the first year of Qianfu, Wang Xianzhi, a native of Zhencheng, rose up, and the world was deeply grieved, the whole country was in war, the common people were displaced, and the feudal states were defeated, how many heroes were there, and now, General Manager Li and his power to kill Huang Chao, let me ask the world, who is the well-deserved true hero and hero?"
Zhu Wen looked at Li Keyong with sincere eyes, looking very impressed by him, and then continued: "If you want to ask the world, who dares to call him a hero? Today, we will toast to General Manager Li, the world's number one hero."
"Cheers to General Manager Li."
"Cheers to the No. 1 Hero."
......
Zhu Wen's words resonated with countless people. Whether it was pretending or sincere, everyone stood up and raised their glasses and shouted toast. Among them, the Hedong General was the most important. Li Keyong's subordinates were excited and red, as if the number one hero was themselves.
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Wen's wine ended, and he was very heroic. The rest of the people followed suit and finished a bottle together.
"Hahaha, Governor Zhu is too honored, Li is ashamed." Li Keyong was in a very comfortable mood and laughed.
Although he looked down on Zhu Wen in his heart, he had to say that Zhu Wen's flattery did hit Li Keyong's itch. Li Keyong made a hypocritical and polite statement and immediately looked up and drank the things in the bottle.
Such obvious flattery, but Li Keyong naturally accepted it, which shows his conceit in his bones.
If Zhu Li was here, it would be strange. According to historical records, Zhu Wen invited Li Keyong to have a banquet, and it was a mess and parted. In the end, Zhu Wen almost destroyed the one-eyed dragon. Why does it seem to be a bit happy now when looking at the atmosphere?
This situation was mainly due to the effect of Zhu Wen's deliberate praise. He now had to be cautious, because after Huang Chao's death, Li Keyong was already the largest warlord in the world, so he could not help but be careful.
But when he was doing this, some people were unhappy at the banquet. It was not that she was unhappy with Zhu Wen flattering Li Ke, but that she was unhappy with Zhu Wen. Li Ke Yong got along too well.
Of course, this person is Yuchi Jin. Li Keyong and Zhu Li have an irreconcilable grudge. Li Keyong has harmed Zhu Li. Meng Juehai, under Zhu Li's command, was angry and tortured and killed Li Keyong's man. Such hatred almost destined them
The two cannot stand together in the world.
Zhu Wen also framed Zhu Li, and once threatened Zhu Li's parents, intending to kill Zhu Li accidentally, and eliminate future troubles forever. Both of them were Zhu Li's enemies, but now they are chatting and laughing, and the piano and stern are in harmony, so of course Yuchi Jin is unhappy.
Seeing this, Yuchi Jin raised his bottle and faced Li Keyong and Zhu Wen. He gestured from afar and said, "What Governor Zhu said is very true. Huang Chao has been in the world for several years and has been a hero. Not to mention the distance, he will talk about the battle of offensive and defensive in Chenzhou. Even if Governor Zhu personally attacked and the assistance of the governor Zhao Feng of Chenzhou, he still cannot touch him at all. It can be seen that he is not easy."
Speaking of this, Yuchi Jin turned to Zhu Wen and apologized slightly. He should use Zhu Wen as a foil or in front of others, so he naturally had to make some statements.
Zhu Wen was very upset when he heard this. You must know that there are some things he can say, but he can't say them. If he says it, it's like a slap in the face, and the hatred will be formed unknowingly.
However, when he saw the bearded general and said that, he bowed and apologized to him. He felt that the other party was quite tactful, so he smiled to show his magnanimity.
To outsiders, it seemed that just as the two bowed and smiled, Yuchi Jin got Zhu Wen's understanding. Zhu Wen's command, who were dissatisfied with Yuchi Jin's words, was not easy to say anything.
At this time, I heard Yuchi Jin continue to say, "But General Li's troops went out of Jinyang, and when he rode his horse and sword in Chenzhou, tens of thousands of bandit troops were instantly gone. The flags pointed to them all, and it can be seen that the heroes in the world are only heroes. "
This flattery is too big, so big that it is a bit unbearable. Yuchi Jin means that except Li Keyong, no one in the world deserves the word "hero".
From the perspective of Yuchi Jin, don’t you, Zhu Wen, want to praise Li Keyong? Then I’ll help you blow it and send Li Keyong directly to the rare and unparalleled place in the sky. This is OK.
Of course not. If you say this, not only Zhu Wen can't stand it, but Zhu Wen's subordinates can't stand it either. Although Zhu Wen took the lead in praising Li Keyong, he didn't mind others helping him, but you can't fire a map cannon, killing countless people with one shot, including Zhu Wen, who is cannon fodder, can Zhu Wen be willing?
"Yes, Brother Han is indeed insightful." Li Cunzhang didn't care what the people in Bianzhou thought. When he saw that Yuchi Jin was so powerful, he immediately agreed.
"The general manager is the best in the world, and it is indeed not comparable to some cats and dogs." Shi Jingsi followed Li Cunzhang and quickly followed the situation and agreed.
.........
The Hedong generals who followed Li Keyong to the banquet immediately agreed, all of whom were honored, and they were inevitably a little proud.
Seeing this scene in Zhu Wen's eyes, he was naturally indignant and secretly bleeded. His godson Zhu Yougong caught a glimpse of Zhu Wen's face and immediately stood up and retorted: "General Li is a hero, but my governor is also unparalleled in heroes."
Zhu Yougong is Li Yanzhang, who once betrayed Zhu Li's parents. He is quite fond of Zhu Wen because he is good at ease. In addition, as Zhu Wen's adopted son, it is inevitable that he will attend such an occasion. When he hears that his old man is despised, how can he sit and watch?
When he saw someone under Zhu Wen's command jumping out and trying to support Zhu Wen, Yuchi Jin was secretly happy and snorted inwardly, "Little Written, I finally can't hold it back?"
