Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

Chapter 45 Banquet

"Please forgive me, my lord, I reject this plan!"

Zhao Yun's voice rang out loudly in the hall.

Liu, Guan and Zhang heard this.

He immediately gave him a puzzled look.

As for Zhao Yun, he met the gazes of the three men and said with a serious face, "My lord, before I followed you, I always followed General Gongsun!"

"Although I privately believe that General Gongsun is not a good leader, he is still my lord. He was defeated by Yuan Shao and eventually burned himself to death. As a subject, I feel guilty for not avenging him. Now, I am asked to surrender to Yuan Shao's son. Please forgive me, lord. I cannot do this!"

Zhao Yun's words were very direct.

It can be seen that he is really unwilling to help the Yuan Xi brothers.

As for Liu Bei, after hearing Zhao Yun's words, he was stunned at first, then he smiled and said: "Zilong is a real man. It is only natural for you to have such a request!"

"How about this? The Fanyang Lu family is a prominent family in Youzhou. After my master, Lord Lu, passed away, his son, Lu Yu, took over the Lu family. When you go to Youzhou, you can temporarily stay with the Lu family. There, you can keep a close eye on the movements of Cao Cao and act accordingly when the brothers Cao Cao and Yuan Xi fight!"

What Liu Bei said was true.

Plus his own affinity.

This time under his words.

Zhao Yun was deeply moved.

After all, according to Liu Bei's original plan.

Joining the Yuan Xi brothers will definitely maximize your benefits.

But now, Liu Bei actually changed his plan because of one of his words.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

"Lord..."

Zhao Yun stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Bei.

"We're brothers, you're being too distant!"

Liu Bei lifted Zhao Yun up and said with a smile.

"My lord, I have shown you great kindness. I have nothing to repay you with. I will leave my life to you!"

Zhao Yun said with tears in his eyes.

"You, you, I knew you wouldn't stop until you made me cry!"

Liu Bei also had tears in his eyes at this moment.

"Brother, there's me too!"

Guan Yu also came up at this moment.

"Yes, yes, and me too!"

Zhang Fei also came over with a smile.

The four of them held hands and looked at each other.

Immediately, hearty laughter rang out in the hall.

……

the other side.

Yecheng.

Just the day after Cao Pi was released.

A group of civil and military officials and their families came from Xudu.

After a long journey.

At this moment, we finally arrived in Yecheng.

Most of the court ministers had already arrived.

Thinking that he would no longer be constrained by the Yingchuan gentry.

Cao Cao was extremely happy at this moment.

So Cao Cao waved his hand.

Announced on the spot.

Prepare a banquet at Sikong Mansion in the evening.

To welcome the ministers.

……

Dusk.

When Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, who had recovered from his injuries.

When we arrived at Sikong Mansion.

Everything in front of me.

Cao Zhi's eyes lit up.

In a yard covering dozens of acres.

All of them were hung with red ribbons.

Hundreds of big red lanterns have been lit at this moment.

Dozens of beautiful maids.

They walked around the table carrying various fruits and fine wines.

Under the west wall of Sikong Mansion.

Dozens of fat sheep are being roasted with a sizzling sound.

"Tsk tsk... Is this the nightlife of the Han Dynasty nobility?"

Cao Zhi secretly admired it in his heart.

"Zijian, look, there's so much fine wine!"

Cao Zhang shouted.

As he spoke, Cao Zhang was about to rush to the table.

But he was stopped by Cao Zhi.

"Third brother, this fine wine is for the guests. Aren't you afraid that father will be angry if you act so recklessly?"

Cao Zhi laughed.

"What are you afraid of? Usually at this time, Father and Xun Lingjun and the others are just having fun. As long as we don't go too far, Father won't blame us!"

Cao Zhang laughed.

After saying this.

Cao Zhang pushed Cao Zhi's hand away, rushed to the table, and started drinking.

"Good wine, why don't you try it too!"

After finishing a jar, Cao Zhang enthusiastically invited Cao Zhi to join him.

"it is good!"

Seeing Cao Zhang drinking so happily.

Cao Zhi's alcohol addiction was also aroused at this time.

But at this moment.

Cao Pi arrived at the scene.

It is exactly between Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang.

The two brothers looked at each other.

There were faint sparks in the air.

"Zijian, you're fine!"

After throwing these words harshly.

Cao Pi walked straight to the other end of the banquet.

Stay away from Cao Zhi and the other two.

"Bah, what the hell!"

Cao Zhang spat fiercely at Cao Pi's back.

Then, Cao Zhang looked at Cao Zhi and said helplessly: "Zijian, I'm afraid the peaceful days of you and me are coming to an end!"

“???” Cao Zhi.

"You'll know in a moment!" said Cao Zhang.

……

Night falls.

As the guests gradually took their seats.

Cao Cao in gorgeous purple clothes.

Also appeared on the scene at this moment.

"Meet Sikong!"

All the guests immediately stood up and saluted.

"Excuse me!"

Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand.

He then quickly walked to the main seat and sat down, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Everyone, we can obtain Jizhou and enter Yecheng, all thanks to the wisdom of the emperor and the dedication of the soldiers. This first glass of wine is a toast to the emperor from afar!"

"Respect the Emperor!"

Cao Cao had just finished speaking.

Immediately, a ceremonial officer shouted from the side.

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses towards Xu Du as a sign of respect.

"This second glass of wine is for the soldiers who died in this war. Without their selfless dedication and bravery, how could we sit here peacefully?"

Cao Cao said with a heavy face.

"Respect the soldiers!"

The etiquette officer shouted again.

When everyone saw this, they immediately imitated Cao Cao.

He dug his finger into the glass, dipped it in a small amount of wine, and flicked it in the air.

"Everyone, this third glass of wine..."

Cao Cao continued.

……

After a cup of tea time.

It ended with Cao Cao's "opening remarks".

The banquet officially begins.

Cao Cao was also very happy.

Sometimes he pulled Xun Yu to drink; sometimes he pulled Cui Yan to clink glasses; sometimes he pulled Guo Jia to dance; after a while, he introduced Chen Lin to everyone, saying that he was the Chen Lin who wrote the "Exhortation to Punish the Traitors", which almost scared Chen Lin to death.

Seeing Cao Cao being so unrestrained.

At this time, everyone at the banquet was no longer restrained.

They all raised their glasses and called their friends.

Everyone was drinking and having a great time.

Just when everyone was drinking happily.

Cao Cao in a half-drunk state.

Holding a glass of wine and listening to music.

He began his performance - "Drinking and singing, how long is life?

For example, the morning dew has a lot of suffering.

......"

Every time Cao Cao took a sip of wine, he would recite a line of poetry.

It just started, and only a few people cheered.
