Facing Wang Yansheng's invitation, Zhao Kuangyin nodded and shook his head. Seeing that Wang Yansheng was confused for a while, he took advantage of the drunkenness and said directly: "Marquis Du Yu has something to say and says it directly, no need to play riddles!"
Quan thought he was straightforward, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't take it seriously and said: "The general's concerns are also the concerns of the knowledgeable people in the court. However, the emperor's considerations, foreign policy, privy defense, and military readjustment are not limited to one corner or one place. They need to focus on In the overall situation.”
Last winter, didn't the imperial court issue an order that the Han troops around the Dingnan Army, especially on the Yanzhou side, were not allowed to cross the border with another troop or cavalry, causing conflicts? As a general, you must understand the court's intentions carefully and consider the overall situation! "
"After all, we can't increase the number of troops?" Wang Yansheng stared at Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin smiled bitterly and responded: "With the reputation of General Wang, it is enough to ensure the peace of Yanzhou. After taking office, won't he do a good job?"
"There is no need to compliment me, Marquis Du Yu!" Wang Yansheng shook his head, took a sip of wine, and said, "I am in the northwest and I don't care about the overall situation in the southwest!"
"The general can say this! That means that he actually understands in his heart!" Zhao Kuangyin raised his glass, invited the drink, and smiled softly.
Wang Yansheng looked at Zhao Kuangyin with some surprise. He felt like his thoughts were revealed. He twirled his beard and said seriously: "The imperial court does not want chaos in the northwest, so it must deal with the troops who are in trouble and adopt a gentle and appeasing policy towards the party members. But , how party members behave is beyond our control.
I recaptured the Salt Lake last year, but now, people from the Nanjing Army are still entangled with me in the surrounding area, covertly or covertly. The imperial court is like restraining my hands and feet. Once the party members attack, don't expect me to resist with the troops and horses of the border army..."
Hearing what Wang Yansheng said, Zhao Kuangyin also showed a serious look and said: "If the Dangxiang people really ignore the goodwill of the court and dare to rebel and cause rebellion, then the court will never sit idly by. Being gentle does not mean weakness. The emperor is talented and considers Quan. The overall situation of the world is just a matter of priority..."
After hearing what Zhao Kuangyin said, Wang Yansheng's eyes began to wander subconsciously. Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to feel something, and hurriedly put on a patch, and persuaded him in advance: "But the current policy of the imperial court, the general must comply with it!"
Feeling that Zhao Kuangyin saw some of his thoughts again, Wang Yansheng smiled and waved his hand: "That's natural! Although Wang is bold, he still dare not disobey His Majesty and the court!"
With that said, Wang Yansheng added: "How can we have a drinking party without singing and dancing to add to the fun? However, I don't like to dance. The Hu Nu dancers here are quite good. Later I will find two for Marquis Du Yu to stay."
"This is Wang's intention, don't refuse!" Looking at Zhao Kuangyin's expression, you knew what he wanted to say, Wang Yansheng said directly.
At this time, an officer came in and whispered a few words to Wang Yansheng. With a smile on his lips, Wang Yansheng met Zhao Kuangyin's gaze and said, "Just in time, there is something else that can help you enjoy the wine! Come on, bring me here!"
Soon, a Dangxiang prisoner was brought up. When he saw Wang Yansheng, he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy. Seeing this, the Yanzhou officials accompanying the banquet immediately understood what was going on, and they all put down their wine glasses and put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Pointing to the prisoner, Wang Yansheng explained: "This man was drunk in the city, fought with others, damaged the property of the wine shop, and caused two people to be seriously injured and dying!"
While narrating, he picked up the short meat-cutting knife and walked up to the prisoner openly. Wang Yansheng grinned and said, "Marquis Yu of the capital of Zhao is here today. I will give you a good pleasure, so I won't make any nonsense!"
After saying that, he picked up his left ear and saw a flash of cold light. He raised the knife and dropped it. With a miserable howl, the prisoner turned into an ear. But under Wang Yansheng's glare, he stopped moaning in pain, lowered his head, shed tears, gritted his teeth, and did not dare to move much.
Wang Yansheng then showed a satisfied smile, holding the bloody ear in his hand, and showed it to Zhao Kuangyin and everyone present. Then put it on the short knife surface, put it on the fire and roast it, then put it into the mouth and chewed it raw under the horrified eyes of people.
"Wine!" the voice said in a choked tone.
This was not the first time for the Yanzhou officials present to see this scene, but every time, they were inevitably frightened. Some things may sound simple or ordinary, but it takes a lot of courage to sit up. Wang Yansheng is obviously a ruthless person.
After he swallowed it completely, he gave some instructions, and soldiers immediately pulled him down, treated his injuries, and questioned him. Zhao Kuangyi, who witnessed this incident, couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to endure it but couldn't bear it. He didn't care about pleading guilty and hurriedly ran out of the hall and vomited out all the food in his stomach.
Looking at Zhao Kuangyi's back, Wang Yansheng looked at Zhao Kuangyin: "Is this young man the younger brother of Marquis Du Yu? He still needs some experience!"
Zhao Kuangyin looked at Wang Yansheng's performance, his face was calm, but he couldn't help but sigh: "Zhao has learned the power of a general!"
Wang Yansheng laughed loudly, and there still seemed to be bloodshot eyes between his teeth. He picked up a bowl of wine and continued to say to Zhao Kuangyin: "Marquis Du Yu has always praised me for my reputation. Where did this reputation come from? It's in these bloody ears! Wang Yansheng laughed. I don’t have that many strategies, nor that much patience. If I want to scare those barbarians and Rongdi, I can only resort to such bloody and brutal methods! What do you think, Marquis Yu, the capital of Zhao?"
Facing Wang Yansheng's eyes, Zhao Kuangyin cupped his hands and said: "General, it is not easy to suppress this! If it is not impossible, who would want to live with his ears!"
"These words are very popular with me!" Wang Yansheng looked very happy and looked at Zhao Kuangyin much closer. He felt that this man understood him and said with a smile: "This human ear is really not delicious! It was the first time last year. , I also swallowed it with nausea..."
Solemnly, Zhao Kuangyin toasted Wang Yansheng with a bowl of wine, and said: "Today, Zhao would like to thank the general for his hospitality! I still need to trouble the general to show me the pass border defenses, customs and customs of this state, and the situation of the disaster relief army. !”
"No rush! Tomorrow, I will personally serve as the guide for Marquis Du Yu!" Wang Yansheng's face was full of pride: "Marquis Du Yu, Zhao, suits my temperament very well. Today, we will not return until we are drunk!"
Seeing Wang Yansheng's expression of "If you don't agree, you don't give me face", Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to say: "If the general is so interested, I will accompany him. However, if the subordinates may have official duties, let them return to their posts." !”
Wang Yansheng waved his hand, and the Yanzhou officials retreated. In the hall, only Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Yansheng were left, drinking heavily. When it comes to drinking capacity, Zhao Kuangyin is not inferior to others. The two of them drank ten kilograms, but Zhao Kuangyin had the last laugh.
Leaving Wang Yansheng, who was very drunk, and asking people to take care of him, Zhao Kuangyin wandered back to the Yameni hotel. Zhao Kuangyi vomited rotten food and filthy food outside the hall. He felt embarrassed and did not return to the hall. He kept waiting outside and personally supported his brother.
"Second brother, I have embarrassed you today!" Zhao Kuangyi was a little depressed, with a hint of inexplicable emotion in his tone: "I didn't expect that Wang Yansheng would be so cruel and cruel, it's simply shocking!"
"You are still young and have little knowledge. It doesn't matter if you eat an ear. On the battlefield, there are things more cruel and bloody than this!" Zhao Kuangyin glanced at his brother and said: "You have to remember that many things are not Just read the book! Wang Yansheng has a perverse and fierce temper, but he is also straightforward, and the court needs such border guard generals now! If you can witness what happened today, you are lucky, and you may be able to leave your name in the history books. !”
When Zhao Kuangyi heard this, his expression changed instantly. If it was really recorded and spread throughout history, wouldn't Zhao Kuangyi's unbearable performance also be publicized?
My mood suddenly became bad, my eyes turned, and a thought began to linger in my mind. If there is an opportunity in the future, I must seek to cover up this matter and put an end to "rumors"...
Zhao Kuangyin also drank a lot of wine, so he got rid of his support, untied his belt directly in front of the garden, took out the bird and drained the water, with a look of relief on his face, and sighed: "It's so happy! It's so happy!"
"To be honest, Wang Yansheng is the one who has the best temperament during this patrol. Although the Dingbian Army has not fully inspected it, I can also believe that the defense of Yanzhou is enough to reassure the court!" Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the drunkenness. Son, he said with all his heart: "Dingbian Army, there is no need to stay too long. If we go to Lingzhou, this border patrol will be almost over! I just don't know what the situation is over there in Shuofang..."
After returning to the room, he fell asleep. Half asleep, he noticed that someone was taking off his clothes. He suddenly woke up and saw two attractive Hu Ji, who were wearing scantily clad clothes, looking at him with charming smiles... ..
Even when he was drunk, Wang Yansheng did not forget his "promise".
