In the Xingyang Prefecture, the dishes were being delivered to the hall by the maids, and Xu Zongwen's soldiers were carrying jars of wine inside...
On the second day after the capture of Xingyang, Xu Zongwen posted an invitation to the fifty fort owners nearby. At first, the fort owners did not respond until Tian Luo and Zhang Gui sent troops to eradicate two forts and burn two of them. , after beheading the two Wubao masters who refused to attend the banquet, the other Wubao masters saw that Xu Zongwen had many soldiers and strong tactics, so they had no choice but to come.
Near Xingyang, these painting lands were kings, absorbing the refugees and the people, and the Wubao masters who squeezed the Han people were all the top Hu tycoons in the local county. After the Han people crossed south, all the Han tycoons north of the Yellow River were slaughtered. Nowadays, most of the people occupying Wubao are barbarians.
The people who came to the banquet today were all Ding Ling people without exception. This was also Xi Jian's plan to alienate people, and he only took action against Ding Ling people from Wubao.
The Wubao masters were crowded in the hall. Their tables were already filled with wine and meat, but the main seat was empty, and no one dared to place chopsticks first.
"The general is here!" In the hall, Zhang San and Zhang Si walked out from the north and south directions, and a black-faced boy dressed in Confucian uniform and blue shirt also came slowly, surrounded by them.
Everyone's eyes turned to the main seat in unison. After the brothers Zhang, Zhang, Zhang, and Zhang stood still, Xu Zongwen, dressed as a Confucian scholar, walked to the main seat and took his seat safely in front of everyone.
Xu Zongwen has a calm expression, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and his dark and healthy complexion is more suitable for his image as a general on the battlefield. His tall body, broad shoulders, and his unruffled and self-powerful momentum, in this warm sun The refreshing spring of April makes the Wubao owners feel a chill coming towards them!
The wind and sand in the north are strong and the sun is poisonous. Xu Zongwen has not had a moment of peace since the Battle of Feishui. Fighting in the north and south, the dust is everywhere, and his original pretty face is getting darker and darker, but it is not a bad thing at all that this handsome face has turned dark. .
Xu Zongwen's body has a killing aura, and he also has the power of a superior person with the power of life and death!
The first impression is one of shock!
"I've kept you guys waiting for a long time." Xu Zongwen smiled calmly, raised his cup and grinned at the Wubao masters.
"The general has a lot of things to do every day, and we are waiting for promotion to fight against the common people. We must not take it for granted!" Seeing Xu Zongwen's harmless smile, everyone raised their glasses to meet him.
Did Xu Zongwen not know that this banquet was a stage for drama between the two parties?
But that's not important. Xu Zongwen's mission today is to accompany these Wubao masters to eat and drink well, and then send them on their way!
Just two hours ago, when these Wubao masters had just arrived in Xingyang City, Pei Qing and Tian Luo led two thousand fine horses out of the south gate to Dasuo City, while Xi Jian and Zhang Gui led the other two thousand. Jingqi went out of the east gate to Guancheng. Their goals for this trip were the same. They all took advantage of the absence of the Wubao Lord to attack these Wubao and completely eliminate the Dingling people's Wubao forces near Xingyang!
Xu Zongwen naturally knew the abilities of Pei Qing and Xi Jian, so he leisurely accompanied the Wubao masters to talk about things and delay time.
The Wubao masters felt that Xu Zongwen was talking about him without revealing the attitude of the Jin army, so they all stepped forward to talk to him.
Little did they know that all of this was Xu Zongwen's routine.
Xu Zongwen drank a glass of wine, smacked his lips and said: "Don't be polite, everyone. Your leader Zhai Bin is the number one general under King Yan. In the future, when King Yan restores the Yan Kingdom, you will all have meritorious services, so why worry about not being able to hang out?" I don’t know if my career will be successful in the future!”
The masters of Zhongwu Fort replied: "The general is the most important hero of the Jin Dynasty's Northern Expedition. Now that Xingyang has been captured, we all rely on the general!"
"That's an exaggeration. I, Xu Xiao, am just a minion in front of the Governor and Commander Zhu. How can I be the most important contributor to the Northern Expedition?"
"Little did they know that in the Battle of Feishui, the chariot and cavalry general Xie Xuan destroyed the King of Qin in one battle. He defeated two to three hundred thousand Qin soldiers with 80,000 men. Xie Chaoqi was the number one hero of the Northern Expedition!"
Xu Zongwen looked at the Wubao masters and moved Xie Xuan out. The Wubao masters were puzzled.
"To tell you the truth, General Xie Xuan of Chariots and Cavalry has led 30,000 troops to cross the river and go south. They will arrive at Xingyang City today or tomorrow. From now on, your safety will be left to us."
Xie Xuan's garrison in Xingyang was originally a major military event. Xu Zongwen knew that the people in front of him were the living dead with two feet already in the coffin, so there was no harm in revealing the news of Xie Xuan's army heading south to them.
"Hiss—" the fort masters took a breath of air.
The Jin army is going to launch a bigger war north of the Yellow River!
"When the time comes, I will go to Yecheng to meet your King Yan. I will open my eyes and see the Murong family's Thousand Mile Horse. I will be able to boast about it when I return to Jiankang in the future..."
"I wish the general a good start and success!"
Murong Chui had been a soldier all his life and had experienced many battles. Although Xu Zongwen fought in Xuzhou, Qingzhou and even the Central Plains and made the Qin army cry for father and mother, the Yan army was different.
The Xianbei cavalry of the Yan army once defeated Huan Wen, the great commander of the Jin Dynasty's Northern Expedition. The so-called horse drinking the Yellow River is not a loss of troops and humiliation of the country in the end?
The Wubao masters flattered Xu Zongwen on the surface, but in fact they wished that the Jin army would be defeated by the Xianbei people.
"Thank you for your kind words. Please eat quickly! If you don't eat, it will get cold."
The implication of Xu Zongwen's words was naturally that he had eaten enough to go on the road. The owners of Wubao had evil intentions and exchanged cups with Xu Zongwen. Their words were full of empty words without any truth.
But Xu Zongwen didn't care. He sat at the main seat and ate with gusto, while Zhang Si kept pouring wine for him.
"Pour less. What if the general is drunk and misses something important?" Zhang San grabbed Zhang Si, and the latter suddenly realized.
"It's all my subordinates' fault. Please forgive me, General!"
"You two, do you really think that this general's drinking capacity is so bad? Don't you understand me after following me for so long?" Xu Zongwen poured himself a full glass of wine and drank it by himself.
Half an hour later, Xu Zongwen left the hall on the excuse of going to the toilet. The Lords of the Fortress did not take it seriously. They were still eating happily, catching up with old acquaintances, and the table was full of chatter, unaware of the coming danger. !
Xu Zongwen drugged the wine that the Wubao masters drank. The medicine was called Shixiang Cartilage Powder. Adding it to the wine could increase the aroma of the wine, making people intoxicated without even realizing it.
The Shixiang Cartilage Powder will take effect within half an hour. By then, the bones of the person who has been affected will be numb and the whole body will not be able to use any strength. This is the same as the wine and meat that Xi Jian and Shen Chong sent to the Qin army defenders in Daxia Gate. The intoxicating drug is the same, and it is extremely powerful!
Xu Zongwen thought it was useful and asked Xu Wen to keep it. He didn't expect to use it so quickly when he arrived in Xingyang.
"Let's do it!" Xu Zongwen made a knife-like gesture and swung it downwards. Zhang San, Zhang Si, and Xu Wen immediately called on the pro-army troops who had been lying in wait for a long time and rushed into the hall. They opened the main door of Wubao, which was already full and full. The steel knife came out...
