Chapter 207 Chapter Twenty-Eight

Zhang Liao spoke first: "King of Wei, since Sun Quan negotiated peace with our army, his army has not entered our territory. It is because he has a conflict with Liu Bei in Yizhou, and he is temporarily forbearing." After Zhang Liao finished speaking, Xu Huang added: "After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei tricked Jingzhou into gaining it. At that time, Sun Quan wanted to take it back, but Lu Su insisted on pros and cons, trying to seduce Jingzhou with the fat. Liu Xuande united Soochow to fight against King Wei.It's a pity that Liu Bei was treacherous and sent Guan Yu to guard him. He broke his promise and angered Sun Quan. "

Cao Cao asked, "How did you anger Sun Zhongmou?" Cao Ren replied: "It was Lu Su's plan to borrow Jingzhou from Liu Bei. Liu Bei once promised that he would return Jingzhou if he got Yizhou. Now that he has realized his dream, he has not returned Jingzhou." "What's more serious is that Lu Su is seriously ill now. On the issue of negotiating Jingzhou, it is impossible for Sun Quan to think of a single soldier. Kuan Yu is now expanding his strength in Jingzhou, not going north. In view of the critical situation, Sun Quan transferred Lu Meng to assist Lu Su to strengthen the two defense lines there. I estimate that the battle between Wu and Shu will break out soon. "

"Then, after Lu Meng leaves Ruxukou, who will replace him in Soochow?" Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao said, "It's replaced by veteran Zhou Tai." Cao Pi, who had been silent all this time, didn't know who Zhou Tai was. He asked Zhang Liao, "How strong is Zhou Tai in the Eastern Wu army?" Zhang Liao said: "Zhou Tai was born in the ranks of Eastern Wu, and has gone through many major battles. It is said that when Sun Quan was young, he was ordered by his elder brother Sun Ce to guard Xuancheng, but unexpectedly encountered bandits. The siege, the situation is critical.At that time, Zhou Tai was only a corps leader, and he happened to be here on patrol.After receiving the emergency military report, on the one hand, he sent an emergency envoy to ask for help, while he led a small number of troops to break through first.

The bandits' line of defense entered the city.Because Sun Quan's guards were too few, Xuancheng was about to be captured, so Zhou Tai escorted Sun Quan out of the city. The bandits surrounded them, and Zhou Tai fought until he was left alone. Still defending Sun Quan, he suffered dozens of stab wounds at that time. He sacrificed his life to save the Lord, and gained a great reputation in the Soochow Army. Zhou Tai's other military exploits were made when he defeated Liu Biao. "Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, died at the sword of Liu Biao's general Huang Zu. Zhou Tai killed Huang Zu angrily in the crusade to avenge Sun Jian, and he was deeply loved by Sun Quan. Although Zhou Tai could not read, he wrote

Zhan is very brave, has a strong sense of responsibility, strictly abides by military orders, and is never sloppy.From a soldier to a general, he understands the suffering of the soldiers, can eat the same pot and sleep in the same bed with the soldiers, without the arrogance of a general, Won the love of soldiers. " Zhang Liao spoke highly of Zhou Tai, and Cao Pi couldn't help praising him, "What a general!" Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Zhou Tai is nothing more than that. There are many generals in our army who are better than him! Every general here is stronger than Zhou Tai."

Cao Pizhi was suspected of slipping his tongue, and his cheeks were flushed red by his father.Therefore, in the second half of this meeting, I didn't say a word, so as not to make a fool of myself again. "Zhou Tai was born at the end of his life, and Sun Quan has always employed people. He appointed Zhou Tai as the guard of Ruxukou and would raise his status. Can he make the officers of noble families obey?" Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao gave a detailed account of Sun Quan's use of Zhou Tai like several Jiazhen: "Just as the king of Wei expected, when Sun Quan announced that Zhou Tai would be appointed to take over Lu Meng's position at Ruxukou, Wuzhong People's Congress

Surprised.They speculated that Xu Sheng, the order of Wuhu, or Zhu Ran, a relative of Sun Quan, were the candidates to guard the mouth.As soon as they heard that it was Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng and Zhu Ran were really dissatisfied and did not listen to his arrangements.sun In the name of comforting the generals of Ruxu, Quan gathered Zhou Tai and other civil and military officials together. When the wine was hot, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Tai to point to every wound around him, and told him to say that he had suffered this injury. The reason is that Sun Quan said to Zhou Tai very excitedly at that time: "Youping (Zhou Tai character), your loyalty to Gu is like my brother, and you are as fierce as a leopard in wartime.

Dozens of wounds, skin like a knife, these are all proofs of protecting the country, I don't entrust you with the weight of the mouth, and I can't express my love for you like flesh and blood. " After Zhang Liao finished speaking, Cao Cao also said: "Zhou Tai's fierce general is loyal, which is rare in the world; Sun Quan knows how to use people well, and the career of father and brother can be carried on." As soon as the military meeting was over, Cao Cao and Cao Ren arranged a big banquet for everyone to feast and drink. After several rounds of drinking, Cao Cao raised his glass and stood up, wishing his old subordinates: "Defend the frontier!

, military planes are always tight, coarse grains and light wine, everyone has worked hard.Let’s relax and have fun today, I would like to propose a toast to everyone!” After speaking, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine. Xu Huang picked up the wine glass, toasted Cao Cao and Cao Pi, and said, "I will tell you the truth, my master, I have not touched my lips with Gongming wine for several months, and my tongue has not tasted fishy. Today's gathering will definitely have a full meal. My lord has traveled a long way. Come, the hard work is the same, Gongming will toast the master. "The officers and men on the scene toasted Cao Cao and Cao Pi's wine one after another until midnight.

Everyone drank for several hours, and it seemed that they had run out of words, and only the sound of drinking was heard at the banquet. Zhang Liao couldn't bear the loneliness, he cupped his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, drinking is useless, how about I dance the sword once!" Cao Cao praised: "I haven't seen Wen Yuan's elegant sword posture for a long time, so why not use it!" Taking advantage of the wine, Zhang Liao drew out his sharp sword "Boom", stabbed left and right on the open space in the middle of the banquet, and danced. Seeing this, Xu Huang left his seat with his sword, and said loudly, "Wen Yuan, how about Gong Ming dancing with you?"

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, two tiger generals, held shining swords in their hands, stabbing each other, chopping left and blocking right, although they seemed fierce, they were actually extremely measured.Cao Cao looked at the sword of love with whom he was born and died If you are not old, you can't help feeling proud, stroke your beard and laugh out loud. The two generals Zhang and Xu danced their swords, and Cao Cao said to the crowd: "I have lived in the border for a long time, and I have never heard of silk and bamboo, and I have never seen wonderful dances. I am afraid that I am too lonely. I call the dancing girl to make everyone happy." Three times of applause, six beautiful women with heavy make-up came out from behind the screen, two women were holding the piano, and one woman was holding the zither.The sound of the zither became clearer and louder, and a woman sang softly, like a lark, with a soft voice. , Touching the heart, the two women are graceful, and the red silk dances, dazzling and dizzying.All the generals were fascinated by watching and fascinated by hearing, not knowing how time passed and where they were. At the place... Xiong Nan rang twice, but everyone still did not stop. The wine was boiled several times, the dishes were served several times, and the prostitutes played a desolate tune. of The generals beat the beat with their chopsticks, and Cao Cao was so excited that he sang: Although the tortoise lives long, it still has its own time. Soaring snake rides the mist, and turns to ashes in the end. An old man, with aspirations for thousands of miles. In his old age, the martyrs are full of ambition. The period of shrinkage is not only in the sky. The blessing of raising joy can lead to eternal life... Cao Cao's singing pushed the banquet to a climax. Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Li Dian and others all had tears in their eyes, and repeatedly said that "the old man is standing upright, his ambition is a thousand miles; My heart is endless" singing non-stop... The east is about to dawn, and everyone is drunk.With the support of his son Cao Pi and the singing girls, Cao Cao retreated to the dormitory to rest.The soldiers carried the drunken generals to the hotel to rest
