Today's so-called celebration banquet was originally hosted by the jujube princes for Zhang Heng. Now that the protagonist is too drunk to stop eating, the banquet has naturally come to an end.
Looking at the unconscious Zhang Heng, Liu Dai looked thoughtfully, then waved his hand and called two waiters to carry Zhang Heng to rest.
Seeing that they could no longer gather any useful information, Zhang Miao and others also stood up to leave. The princes of Yuan Shao's clan got up and left one after another.
After sending these people away, Liu Dai kept Kong Niao and Qiao Mao behind, invited them to his residence, and began secret discussions.
Qiao Mao and Liu Dai were good friends. They had been helping each other since they started to attack Dong Yi, so it was understandable that they were invited in.
As for Kong Ni, it can only be said that due to the large number of people in Yuan Shao's faction, he had no choice but to choose to join Liu Dai to keep warm.
For people, it is the butt that determines the head.
When he came to the room, Liu Dai first invited Qiao Mao and Kong Niao to take their seats, and then ordered his servants to serve sobering soup.
The three of them sat around the table, and Liu Dai first set his sights on Kong Niao.
"Kong Shijun, what did Zhang Ziyi say during the dinner just now, what do you think?"
Qiao Mao was one of his own, so Liu Dai first asked Kong Mao to hear his opinion.
Kong Min shook his head and smiled, "Gongsang Gong has already made up his mind, so why bother asking me."
"That's wrong. How dare I show off my humble opinion in front of the envoy." Liu Dai also smiled and said modestly.
Qiao Mao was impatient. Seeing that the two of them were still testing each other, he couldn't help but interject: "Oh, what time has it been? You two don't have to play riddles anymore. The current situation requires us to work together to achieve great things! If it's too late, Yes, all the credit has been taken away by others!"
This statement has been made very clear, even very explicit. He, Qiao Mao, is in favor of sending troops.
It is not clear whether the others he mentioned were Liu Bei and Cao Cao, or Zhang Miao and other princes from Yuan Shao's clan.
"Yuan Wei means, is it time for us to send troops?" Liu Dai said.
"Isn't this obvious?" Qiao Mao sneered, "A guy like Zhang Ziyi can win consecutive battles, so what do we have to worry about? In my opinion, the Xiliang army under Dong Thief is just a bunch of rabble, not enough For concern!”
Hearing this, Liu Dai still did not express his position, but Kong Nian next to him nodded.
"What Yuan Wei said makes sense. We all the princes have gathered here to defeat the traitors and serve the country. We were unable to advance before because we didn't know whether Dong thieves were real or not. Now that we have found out that Dong thieves are weak, I think it's time to send out troops. ."
Compared to Qiao Mao's straightforwardness, Kong Mao's words were much more reserved. At least he spoke of taking advantage of the opportunity in a more high-sounding way.
But Liu Dai still didn't express his position, just shook his head.
Qiao Mao immediately asked anxiously: "What worries do you have, sir?"
"I have no worries. I was just thinking that Zhang Ziyi just said that Dong was about to send an army of 50,000 to attack Xingyang..."
"That Zhang Ziyi is just exaggerating, so you should not be credulous. When he captured Xingyang, it was expected that the Dong thieves would counterattack, but there should not be an army of 50,000. Taking a step back, even if there are 50,000, there is nothing to fear. ?
We can destroy this rabble like an army of thieves with our backhand. Just as Zhang Ziyi said, this is the perfect opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo and enter Luoyang! "
The more Qiao Mao talked, the more excited she became. In the end, she couldn't help but stand up and slap the table, her face full of ambition.
"Yes, it's time to make a great contribution!"
Kong Niao seemed to be infected by Qiao Mao, and nodded solemnly.
"Of course we have to fight the Dong thief, but we have to be more cautious." Liu Dai was extremely sober and shook his head again.
"Oh, my envoy, you are not being cautious, but you are missing a good opportunity." Qiao Mao urged in a hurry, "If someone else is really allowed to enter Luoyang first, we will not have a foothold by then! "
Liu Dai frowned and said: "Yuan Wei, please be patient. It's not that easy to defeat the Dong thief. It's not easy to get into Luoyang. Let's prepare for war while we wait and see what happens. This place is only two hundred meters away from Xingyang." Here, no matter what, you won’t miss the opportunity.”
"How to watch the changes quietly?" Kong Min asked puzzledly.
"Didn't Zhang Ziyi want food and grass for a decisive battle with the Dong thief? Let's give it to him. Although he had won consecutive battles before, they were all small-scale battles and were not worth mentioning. This time the Dong thief's army is attacking, so let him take the place again. Let's test the quality of Thief Dong.
If Zhang Ziyi can win again, it means that the Dong thief is indeed vulnerable. Then we will take advantage of the situation and send troops. If Zhang Ziyi loses, we can also make long-term plans. "
I have to say that when Liu Dai became more stable, he really looked a bit like Zhang Heng.
These words were reasonable and well-founded, and Kong Ni nodded repeatedly.
"What you say makes sense."
Qiao Mao couldn't help but glance at Kong Min.
Last time I said that you agreed to march into the army, but now Liu Gongshan said to wait and see what happens, and you agree again.
Which side are you from? Why are you swinging like a wallflower?
But now that Liu Dai had made a decision, Qiao Mao couldn't refute it and nodded immediately.
"In that case, let's wait a little longer. We just have to rectify the soldiers in advance. Once the situation changes, we can send troops to fight against the thieves as soon as possible!"
"This is natural." Liu Dai smiled.
…
Liu Dai and the others here made the decision to wait and see what happens, while Zhang Miao and others over there reached similar conclusions.
Although Zhang Heng's acting skills are very realistic, and although the previous series of good news are trying to prove Dong Zhuo's weakness, there is no fool who can be a prince.
Even if the facts are already before their eyes, they still have to confirm it with their own eyes.
After a round of discussion, Zhang Miao and others decided to report to Yuan Shao first and explain what happened to Jujube. While waiting for the instructions from Alliance Leader Yuan, the princes were also secretly accumulating strength.
Once the situation changes, they will send troops even without Yuan Shao's order.
At this time, the jujube princes were like hungry wolves with a big fat piece of meat in front of them. Just waiting for the first wolf to rush up and lick the oil and water, they would swarm up and eat up all the fat on Dong Zhuo's body.
But, who will be the alpha wolf?
Of course it’s still Liu Bei.
In the guest house.
After Zhang Heng was helped in by the messenger, he lay on the couch and snored loudly.
But after the waiter left, Zhang Heng immediately sat up, rushed out of the room, ran to the mulberry tree in the courtyard and vomited.
Zhang Heng rarely drinks alcohol, so he went out of his way to confuse the princes tonight.
After a heavy bout of vomiting, Zhang Heng felt a little more comfortable in his stomach, and took out a silk scarf to wipe the residue from the corners of his mouth.
"If it weren't for these idiots who refused to send troops, why would I have to do this to myself? Such a hard-working performance should be able to win the trust of those people... I don't know what's going on over there in Xingyang, whether Dong Zhuo's army has been defeated."
Zhang Heng sat down under the tree, muttering to himself with a wry smile, a hint of worry flashing between his brows.
