Three Kingdoms

When Pei Jun brought a team composed of Pei's private soldiers and slaves to Anyi, Wei Kai was organizing soldiers to set up city defenses and repair trenches inside and outside the city. When he saw Pei Jun coming with some people and horses, he couldn't help but blush. Changed, my heart almost stopped for a few minutes.

Pei Jun's soldiers had their armor removed and were in a miserable state. They looked as miserable as they could. After meeting Wei Kai, Pei Jun even called him brother, his eyes were red, and he was choked and speechless, which made Wei Kai feel very uncomfortable.

Mr. Wei also sent people to visit him. He learned that Wenxi had been besieged because of his resistance to the Zhengxi soldiers, and several forts in the north of the city had also been attacked one after another. After Pei Jun had no choice but to go south to ask for help, he stopped Wei Kai from provoking him. Almost without thinking, I just asked people to arrange for Pei Jun to settle down in the west of the city.

Wenxi was besieged, which naturally made the Wei family in Anyi feel uneasy, but it also made the Wei family feel that there was still some time. After all, it would take some time for the soldiers to besiege the city, set up a camp, and capture Wenxi. As for the time, if we don’t manage it right, it could take as long as ten days and a half...

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 of the surrounding small nobles and nobles who had long been attached to the Wei family?

So we still have to entertain one or two.

After hurriedly washing up, Pei Jun was surrounded by some noble nobles who came after hearing the news. They all wanted to know what the situation was like in the north. Pei Jun was always very eloquent. He described how the generals who conquered the west went south and how they laid siege to the city. The tragic scene of how his own Wubao collapsed was so vivid that people were heart-stopping. Even Wei Kai, who was sitting with him, couldn't help but look at Pei Jun twice, thinking in his mind that if the soldiers from the Western Expedition really arrived in Anyi, what would happen to them again? How to deal with it, I still don’t know if it can be settled, and what will be the outcome...

Wei Kai tried his best to keep his expression calm, interrupted Pei Jun's words, and then announced in a high-profile manner that he had contacted Hongnong Yang Gong and that reinforcements would arrive soon. He pointed to the country and said how many reinforcements were coming and how many. The men and horses will hunt and conquer the west together under the city. Then they will be able to succeed and become famous, which will somewhat alleviate some of the fear of conquering the west.

Although they were about to face a battle, on the one hand, according to Pei Jun, the Zhengxi soldiers were still happy, and on the other hand, they also needed to boost morale and unify people's hearts, so Wei Kai continued to entertain and appease Pei Jun. First, people set up a banquet in the city hall, and invited Pei Jun and a group of noble nobles in the city to gather in the hall.

Normally, the more you have never seen something before, the more frightened you will feel. Pei Jun has described all kinds of things before. When he listened to it for the first time, he felt his heart swaying and frightened. When he listened to it for the second and third time, There is no sense of freshness anymore. Listening to Wei Kai repeatedly emphasizing how many preparations have been made inside and outside Anyi City, how rigorous the armaments are, how many reinforcements there are, etc., I can't help but feel that the self-narcotic mentality has regained the upper hand. At the same time, on the eve of the war , there was some pressure accumulated in their hearts, so most of them took this opportunity and went wild, comforting Pei Jun while drinking heavily.

If it comes to military skills, Wei Kai may not be enough to appreciate it, but Wei Kai is very proficient in the elegant things of drinking and drinking at the banquet. He is holding up the wine bar, one by one, boosting morale and appeasing people, which is quite a change. Many people came and patted their chests to express their loyalty and expressed their willingness to live and die with the Wei family. Naturally, Wei Kai was very pleased and drank one drink after another.

Pei Jun was sitting at the banquet with a more or less indifferent expression. Some nobles and nobles around him didn't think there was any problem. After all, Wenxi was surrounded, and the Pei family was naturally worried. It was normal for Pei Jun to be in a bad mood. If he was with these people At the same time, drinking without hesitation will make people even more conspicuous.

After sitting for a while, Pei Jun said he was too drunk, apologized to Wei Kai, left the Anyi government office, and walked slowly to the west of the city. Wei Kai originally wanted to persuade him to stay, but he knew that he could not send troops to rescue Wen Xi now, so he was embarrassed to force Pei Jun to stay, so he had to comfort Pei Jun again verbally, and then asked someone to arrange some food and wine for Pei Jun to take care of. After all, there were still some small nobles in the hall who were attached to their own family and were cooperating in the defense of Anyi City. They also needed encouragement, so Pei Jun was allowed to leave.

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

Several Wei generals brought some rough reed mats to Pei Jun and others, and spread them on the ground randomly to become couches and beds for sleeping. Normally, the more than two hundred people brought by Pei Jun should have been placed in the neighborhoods of the city, with some shelter from the wind and rain. However, the people who retreated to Anyi City in the past few days were originally Secondly, the area below 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. He waved his hand and asked people to share the food and wine. He seemed to be very tired and got into the tent and never came out again.

On the top of this city, the soldiers of the Wei family who were patrolling back and forth rubbed their hands and stamped their feet in the cold wind. They couldn't help but mutter in their hearts that it was not good to place them in any place, but they were placed here!

In the Han Dynasty, except for the emperor, most people had two meals a day. Of course, the nobles and nobles would have some snacks to satisfy their hunger. However, the big soldiers above the city had nothing but two meals in the morning and evening. Now they can smell the poison floating up from the city. The smell of cooking and barbecue food brought all the greedy insects out of the stomach, scratching the chest and abdomen, making them feel as uncomfortable as possible.

The key is not to leave yet. The soldiers on the west wall have to stand. Pei Jun's soldiers who are monitoring the city are all standing on the wall to blow the northwest wind. The soldiers in other sections of the city can still take turns to shrink to the cold wind. Basking in the sun and squinting for a while, naturally made these Wei soldiers on the west city wall curse in their hearts.

Pei Jun's private soldiers and domestic slaves were quite peaceful. Except for their somewhat gloomy expressions, most of them acted normally and did not cross the line to harass people's houses. They were given reed mats, sat down separately, and were given food, grass, etc. In order to get food, we set up a fire pit and took the firewood that was delivered to us to cook and barbecue. It was very normal. At first, the soldiers of the Wei family on the west city wall were still holding their weapons tightly and taking a few glances from time to time. But later, they didn't know whether they couldn't stand the tempting aroma of the food, or they felt that they couldn't tell that the soldiers of the Pei family had any taste. It was no longer threatening, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance.

In order to appease Pei Jun and others, Mrs. Wei was not stingy. She not only sent coarse grains, but also some refined millet, two pigs and sheep each, and ten jars of wine, plus Pei Jun brought them from the government office. Some cooked food, wine and meat, and the aroma suddenly filled the air.

Not everyone can eat wine and meat among the soldiers of the Wei family on the top of the city. Smelling the fragrant aroma and hearing the sound of grease falling on the fire, they could not help but pull at the wall and stare. , swallowing saliva. The soldiers of the Wei family were not from a wealthy family. They ate black mixed noodles and drank soup every day. It was strange that they were not greedy after seeing such a scene.

Among Pei Jun's soldiers below the city, one person suddenly stood up and raised his hand to greet him: "Brothers on the top of the city, do you want to come down and eat some? We can't eat these in one meal. It would be a pity if the leftovers are lost!"

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Wei clan on top of the west city looked helplessly at the military lord on duty. At first, the officer on duty at the city head knew his duties and just refused with a smile. Unexpectedly, the officer Pei Junbing was angry and felt that he had been humiliated. He picked up a jar of wine and threw it on the city wall. !

With a "click", the wine jar broke into pieces, and the wine flowed along the city wall, sizzling into the soil on the ground, the aroma of the wine spread out, and the sound of gulping and swallowing suddenly sounded on the top of the city.

The Pei Jun officer at the bottom of the city seemed to be still angry and wanted to smash him. Several Pei Jun soldiers on the side quickly stepped forward to stop him and muttered towards the city: "Why don't you just have a bowl of wine and some meat? Everything is there." It’s yours, so why don’t we poison it? Treat your good intentions like a donkey’s liver and lungs, no wonder our commander is angry!”

The military lord on duty at the top of the city turned his head and looked outside the city, and then looked at the city. In the dimming sky, the light around the Anyi government office in the city was particularly eye-catching. He knew that the ceremony was held there. The banquet has not stopped yet. Thinking of this, the military prince on duty couldn't help but sigh. Damn it, they are still eating and drinking over there, but here they are enjoying the cold wind! Just eat his motherfucker!

The military lord on duty no longer insisted, walked down, and found a seat next to him to sit down. A large bowl of wine had already been brought over, and a barbecue stuck on a wooden branch was handed over. The soldier Pei Jun His face seemed to be getting better, he stepped forward to touch a bowl, drank it with a laugh, and then staggered away, drinking something to get drunk, while calling 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 help themselves when they saw their military princes sitting down. They arrived at the bottom of the city and carefully took the bowl of wine and meat soup. Then they looked at the faces of the military princes and the people around them, and saw that no one objected. , just lower your head and start eating.

When these Pei soldiers saw the Wei soldiers coming down from the city, they changed their gloomy expressions just now. They seemed to put aside their worries for the time being. They no longer talked about Wenxi's affairs, but only talked about some interesting military anecdotes and handed them over from time to time. Drinking and eating meat, looking like a northern man entertaining friends generously...

The guard of the Wei family drank bowl after bowl, his ears warmed to some extent by the wine, and seeing that Pei Jun, the soldiers, and others were all in a bold state, he gradually relaxed and poured out the bitter water: "Damn it! It's not good. Why, we have to fight back and forth! Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, if this ruins Zhuang He, we will suffer another year of pain in the next year! It is said to be bitter, but in the end, it is not a bitter thing for those of us below? "

The guard of the Wei family was not too young, and his face had a look of vicissitudes of life. After drinking wine, his face became rosy and shiny. He continued to say with spittle: "It's been hard to live in peace for several years, and now we have to fight again! Really! If this place is completely destroyed and so many families are left without food or water, that would not mean starving to death!"

The soldier of the Wei family sitting next to the Junhou was still somewhat sober. Seeing that the Junhou was talking gibberish while drunk, he secretly nudged him with his elbow. The Junhou then suddenly understood, scratched his scalp in embarrassment, and laughed a few times. The voice was heard, but the Pei officer seemed not to hear it. He just urged him to drink and didn't say anything.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the sky gradually darkened. Under the light of the torch, a circle of ripples suddenly appeared in the wine bowl placed on the rough reed mat...

Officer Pei saw it, and his expression moved slightly. He immediately picked up the wine bowl, stood up, walked to the guard of the Wei family, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Haha, after drinking for a long time, I haven't finished drinking yet." It's really rude to ask my brother what his name is..."

The Junhou half-opened his eyes in confusion, took the wine bowl, and said with a cheerful smile: "It's not a matter, it's not a matter. My surname is Wei, my last name is Yao. I wonder what my brother's surname is?"

"Haha..." Officer Pei smiled with his teeth and said, "My surname is Taishi, my name is Ci... When I go down, don't forget to tell me the name of a certain family..."

Before the drunken-eyed Marquis Wei could react, his colleague sitting next to him suddenly opened his eyes, tensed his muscles, and quietly reached out to touch the sword on his side. Unexpectedly, he touched an empty space. , suddenly turned his head to look, only to see that his sword had been held in the hand of a Pei soldier at some point!

With a "choking" sound, the sword was pulled out. The Pei soldier faced the firelight, looked at the lines on the blade, and shook his head, looking quite disgusted...

"You... what are you... going to do!" The Wei clan's military lord woke up at this moment, his eyes widened, and he wanted to stand up.

Taishi Ci laughed loudly: "What to do? Of course we are robbing the city!" Before he finished speaking, Taishi Ci had already pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at him with one strike!

At this time, the Marquis of the Wei family was still holding the wine bowl. By the time he threw the wine bowl and went to draw the knife, it was already too late. Taishi Ci's sword flashed, and the head of the Marquis of the Wei family flew high into the air. Blood sprayed into the air!

The Wei soldiers were suddenly beheaded, frightening the Wei soldiers who were still eating and drinking without knowing what to do. Before these people could stand up and shout something, there were already people around or behind them using those weapons. The knife originally used to cut meat and remove bones was inserted into his ribs!

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

Taishi Ci picked up the head of the Wei family's military lord who was still spinning on the rough reed mat. There was still a panic look on the head's face. He raised it high and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhengxi" The general has an order! Only the first culprit will be killed, no threats will be taken! If you surrender quickly, if there is resistance, the three tribes will be killed!"
