Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1257 Don't Ask Your Name When Drinking

When Pei Jun arrived in Anyi with a team of Pei's private soldiers and house slaves, Wei Kai was organizing soldiers to set up city defenses inside and outside the city and repair trenches. Change, the heart stopped for a few minutes.

  Pei Jun's soldiers were disarmed and disarmed, looking as miserable as they could be. After seeing Wei Kai, Pei Jun even called him his elder brother, his eyes turned red, and he was choked up and unable to speak, which made Wei Kai feel very uncomfortable.

Old Mrs. Wei also sent people to visit. He learned that Wen Xi had been besieged because of resisting the Western Conquest, and several fortresses in the north of the city had been breached one after another. Almost without a promise from the brain, someone arranged for Pei Jun to settle in the west of the city first.

Wenxi's siege naturally made Wei in Anyi feel uneasy, but it also made Wei feel that there was still some time. After all, soldiers who conquered the west had to besiege the city, set up camps, and capture Wenxi. In terms of time, if it is not done well, it may be delayed for ten days and a half months...

  Pei Jun came to ask for help. Although Wei Kai said that it was impossible to send troops to rescue him, he completely ignored Pei Jun. Wouldn't this chill the hearts of some small nobles and Haoyou who had long been attached to Wei?

  So we still have to entertain one or two.

After washing up in a hurry, Pei Jun was surrounded by some nobles who came here after hearing the news. They all wanted to know what was going on in the north, and Pei Jun was always eloquent. He described how the generals who conquered the west went south and how they besieged the city. The tragedy of how the family's Wubao collapsed was vivid and frightening. Even Wei Kai, who was sitting with him, couldn't help but look at Pei Jun more, thinking in his heart that if the soldiers who conquered the west really arrived in Anyi, they would send them to Anyi again. How to deal with it, I still don't know if I can hold on, what will happen...

Wei Kai tried his best to keep his expression still, interrupted Pei Jun's words, and then announced in a high-profile manner that he had contacted Mr. Yang of Hongnong, and reinforcements would arrive in a few days. People and horses will hunt Zhengxi under the city together, and then they will be able to succeed and become famous, and so on, which somewhat alleviates some of the fear of Zhengxi.

Although he is about to face a battle, on the one hand, according to what Pei Jun said, Zhengxi Bingfeng is still hearing joy, and on the other hand, he also needs to boost morale and unify people's hearts, so Wei Kai continued to entertain Pei Jun in the name of comforting him. He asked someone to set up a banquet in the hall of the city, and invited Pei Jun and a group of gentry Haoyou in the city to have a party in the hall.

Normally speaking, the more you haven't seen it, the more fear you will feel. Pei Jun's narrations are all kinds of things. When I listened to them for the first time, I felt my heart fluttering and panicked. There is no sense of novelty, and listening to Wei Kai repeatedly emphasizing how much preparations have been made inside and outside Anyi City, how strict the military equipment is, and how many reinforcements there are, etc., the original self-anesthesia psychology has regained the upper hand, and at the same time on the eve of the war , some accumulated pressure in their hearts, so most of them followed this opportunity and let loose, while comforting Pei Jun, while drinking heavily by themselves.

If it is a round of military talent, Wei Kai may not be enough to watch, but Wei Kai is very proficient in the elegant things of drinking and drinking at the banquet. He is holding the wine bar, one by one to boost morale and calm people's hearts. Quite a few people who came patted their chests to express their loyalty, and their words of willingness to live and die with the Wei family naturally made Wei Kai very pleased, and he drank one serving and another serving.

Pei Jun sat on the table with a somewhat indifferent expression, and some nobles and nobles around him didn't think there was any problem. After all, Wenxi was besieged, Pei's family was naturally worried, and it was normal for Pei Jun to be in a bad mood. It will be even more eye-catching to drink together recklessly.

   After sitting for a while, Pei Jun said he couldn't drink enough, apologized to Wei Kai, and left the Anyi government office, slowly heading west of the city. Wei Kai originally wanted to keep him, but more or less knew that he could not send troops to rescue Wenxi now, so he was too embarrassed to force Pei Jun to stay, so he had to reassure him verbally, and then asked someone to arrange some wine and meat for Pei Jun to take. That said, after all, there are still some nobles in the hall who are attached to their own families and who are cooperating in the defense of Anyi City. They also need encouragement, so Pei Jun left.

On the eve of the Great War, there was a curfew in the city, and martial law was imposed even inside the city on weekdays. However, because Pei Jun and others arrived, they vacated the open space and streets in the west of the city near the city wall for settlement, so there was some commotion in this area. To appease Pei Jun, the Wei family also sent people to bring some wine, meat, food, grass and so on. Pei Jun's soldiers either lit a fire by the side of the tent or at the foot of the wall below the city, and sat on the ground to cook, eat and drink.

  Several Wei's generals brought some rough reed mats to Pei Jun and the others, spread them randomly on the ground, and they became mats for sitting on and sleeping on. Normally, the more than two hundred people brought by Pei Jun should have been placed in the neighborhood of the city, with some shelter from the wind and rain, but the people who retreated to Anyi City in the past few days were originally There are too many, and secondly, the area under the city is more convenient for overall monitoring, so the Wei family did not let Pei Jun and others disperse into the city.

  Pei Jun didn't care about it either. He waved his hands to share the wine and meat. Seemingly very tired, he got into the tent and didn't come out again.

  On the top of this piece of the city, the soldiers of the Wei family patrolling back and forth rubbed their hands and stamped their feet in the cold wind, unavoidably murmuring to some extent that it is not a good place to be placed, but here they are!

In the Han Dynasty, except for the emperor, most people had two meals a day. Of course, the nobles would have some snacks to satisfy their hunger, but the big soldiers above the city had nothing but two meals in the morning and evening. The aroma of cooking and grilling food, all the gluttons in each stomach were hooked out, scratching the chest and abdomen, as uncomfortable as it was.

The key is not to walk away, the soldiers on the west city wall have to stand again, and the soldiers of Pei Jun who are monitoring the city are all standing on the wall to blow the northwest wind, while the soldiers in other parts of the city can still take turns, shrinking until the cold wind blows. Basking in the sun in a place where they can't reach, and squinting for a while, this naturally made the soldiers of the Wei family on the west wall keep cursing their mothers in their hearts.

Pei Jun's private soldiers and family slaves are quite peaceful, except for their gloomy faces, most of them are acting normally, and they have not crossed the border to harass the houses. For food, a firepit was set up, and the firewood was brought to cook and grill, which was very normal. At first, the soldiers of the Wei family on the west city wall were still holding on to their blades tightly, and they glanced at them from time to time, but later on, they couldn't bear the tempting aroma of the food, or they felt that they couldn't see the soldiers of the Pei family. If something is threatening, he gradually relaxes his vigilance.

In order to appease Pei Jun and the others, the Wei family was not stingy, and not only sent coarse grains, but also some fine millet, two pigs and two sheep each, and ten altars of wine, plus Pei Jun brought out from the government office. Some of the cooked food, wine and meat are immediately fragrant.

The soldiers of the Wei family on the top of the city are not everyone who can eat, drink, and meat. Smelling the tangy aroma and hearing the sound of grease falling on the fire, everyone can't help but scratch the wall and stare at the eyeballs. , swallowing his saliva. The soldiers of the Wei family were not the sons of rich and noble families, they ate black noodles and drank sticky soup every day. It was strange that they were not greedy after seeing such a scene.

  Among Pei Jun's soldiers in the city, suddenly one stood up, raised his hand and said, "Brothers on the top of the city, do you want to come down and eat some? We can't eat these in one meal, and it would be a pity to lose them!"

  Suddenly, the soldiers of the Wei family above the head of the west city stared helplessly at the military marquis on duty. At the beginning, the guard at the top of the city knew his duty, but he just refused with a smile. Unexpectedly, the officer Pei Jun lost his temper. He felt as if he had been humiliated. He lifted a jar of wine and smashed it on the city wall. !

  With a sound of "Kara", the wine jar shattered, and the wine flowed along the city wall, and sizzled into the soil on the ground.

The Pei Jun officer at the bottom of the city seemed to be still angry and wanted to smash it up. Several Pei Jun soldiers hurried forward to stop him, and murmured towards the top of the city, "Shouldn't you just have a bowl of wine and some meat? It’s yours, so why don’t we poison it? Kindly treat it like a donkey’s liver and lungs, no wonder our commander is angry!”

The military marquis on duty at the top of the city turned his head to look outside the city, and then looked at the city. In the faintly dim sky, the lights around the Anyi government office in the city were particularly eye-catching. The banquet still hadn't stopped yet, thinking of this, the military marquis on duty couldn't help sighing, **** it, they were still eating and drinking, and he was eating cold wind here! Eat as much as you want!

The military marquis on duty no longer persisted, walked down, and found a seat beside him. A large bowl of wine was brought over, and the barbecue stuck on a wooden branch was handed over. The soldier Pei Jun It seemed that his complexion was getting better, he stepped forward to touch a bowl, drank it with a laugh, then staggered away, and while he was drinking something to get drunk, he called for the soldiers of the Wei family at the top of the city to come eat and drink.

The soldiers of the Wei clan at the top of the city couldn't bear it when they saw their military marquises sitting down. They arrived at the base of the city, carefully took the bowl of wine and meat soup, and then looked at the faces of the military marquis and the people around them. , Just bow your head and eat.

When these soldiers of the Pei family saw the soldiers of the Wei family coming down from the city, they also changed their gloomy expressions just now, and seemed to put aside their worries for a while, and stopped talking about Wenxi, but just talked about some military anecdotes, and handed them over from time to time. Drinks, meat, and food, he looks like a man from the Northland entertaining his friends boldly...

Marquis Wei, who was on duty, drank bowl after bowl, feeling a bit hot from the wine, and seeing that Pei Jun and the others were in a bold state, he gradually let go of his arms and poured bitter water out: "Damn it! Why, they want to call back and forth! Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming soon, if this ruins Zhuang He, the next year will be a year of suffering! It is bitter, but in the end, it is not suffering for us below? "

Marquis Wei is not too young to be on guard, and his face is full of vicissitudes. After drinking, his face became rosy and shiny. He spit and continued: "It's hard to live in peace for a few years, and now I want to fight again! Really! If the whole place is destroyed and so many people have nothing to eat or drink, they will starve to death!"

The soldier of Wei who was sitting next to the Marquis Jun was somewhat sober. Seeing the Marquis talking gibberish after drinking, he secretly poked him with his elbow. Then the Marquis suddenly realized that he scratched his scalp in embarrassment and laughed a few times. However, the officer of the Pei family did not seem to hear it, he just persuaded him to drink and didn't say anything.

   I don’t know how long it took, the sky gradually dimmed, and under the light of the torch, in the wine bowl placed on the rough reed mat, ripples suddenly appeared...

The officer of the Pei family saw it, his expression moved slightly, he immediately picked up the wine bowl, stood up, walked to the guard guard of the Wei family, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Haha, I have been drinking for a long time, and I haven't drunk it yet. It's really impolite to ask my brother's name..."

  Junhou half-opened his eyes in a daze, took the wine bowl, and said with a cheerful smile: "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, a certain surname is Wei, and the name is Yao. I don't know your brother's name?"

   "Hehe..." Officer Pei grinned, and said, "A surname is Taishi, and a name is Ci... After the old man goes down, don't forget to report the name of the family..."

Before the drunk-eyed Marquis of the Wei family could react, the colleague sitting beside him suddenly opened his eyes wide, tensed his muscles, and quietly reached out to touch the saber by his side, but unexpectedly found an empty space. , suddenly turned his head to look, but saw that his saber had been held in the hands of a Pei soldier at some point!

   With a "choke", the saber was pulled out. Facing the flames, the Pei soldier looked at the texture of the saber and shook his head, looking rather disgusted...

   "You...what are you going to...do!" Marquis Wei finally woke up with a start, his eyes widened, and he wanted to stand up.

  Tai Shici let out a long laugh: "What are you doing? Of course it's robbing the city!" Before he finished speaking, Tai Shici had already pulled out the saber from his waist, and slashed directly at it!

Marquis Wei was still holding the wine bowl at this time, and when he threw the bowl away to draw the knife, it was too late, only to see a flash of Taishi Ci's saber, and Marquis Wei's head flew high, covered with a hood. Blood sprayed into the air!

The Marquis of the Wei family was suddenly beheaded, terrified those soldiers of the Wei family who were still eating and drinking without knowing what to do. The small knife that was originally used to cut the meat and remove the bones pierced into his ribs!

  Screams rang out one after another, and the blood splashed onto the wine and meat soup on the rough reed mat, covering it with a layer of red and black.

Tai Shici picked up the head of Marquis of the Wei family who was still whirling around on the rough reed mat. There was still a trace of panic on the face of the head, lifted it up high, and shouted loudly: "Zheng Xi The general has an order! Only the leader and the villain will be punished, not the subordinates! You should surrender quickly, but if there is resistance, kill the three clans!"
