Chapter 103 The mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch in the back

After two days, Nanjiang City.

"I'm coming!" Lei Tong whispered, but he saw a man coming from afar, but hundreds of people. At first, one person did not wear armor, but only an ordinary brocade robe. He didn't bring a big blade, but only a long sword around his waist. It was Zhao Feng and Zhao Botao, the Taishou of Hanzhong.

"General Zhao, thank you for your hard work all the way!" Meng Dadang stepped forward and saluted Zhao Feng, and Wu Lan and Lei Tong followed. Brother Wu, Ye Changmengduo, do you want to do it now? Lei Tong asked in a low voice.

"No, there are so many people watching here. Once you do it, won't hurt the innocent. There is nothing to say in the chaos." Wu Lan looked at the people gathered around to see the hustle and bustle. At least there were thousands of people, which were obviously not suitable to do it here.

"You have been waiting for a long time!" Zhao Feng also came forward to answer with a smile. These three people, Meng Da, only met once in Chengdu. Wu Lan and Lei Tong had some contact after they entered Hanzhong. Just looking at Meng Da's appearance, Zhao Feng was quite surprised to see that he was very elegant and clear-looking.

But think about it, the real two or five boys don't look like anniper. Think about it, the big man is actually one of the four beautiful men in the Republic of China. Compared with him, Meng Da's Taoism is really far from good.

"General Zhao is here, and the city of Nanjiang is shining!" Meng Da said these unnutritious nonsense, and then began to introduce some people present today to Zhao Feng. In addition to Wu Lan and Lei Tong, some local figures in Nanjiang City also came, and Zhao Feng saluteed them one by one.

Everyone gathered Zhao Feng and his subordinates to the Nanjiang City Government Office, where the banquet had already been arranged, and sat down. Since Meng Da took the place of Liu Zhang to hold a banquet, he sat down. With his order, all kinds of dishes and rows of singers and dancers also came up. For a while, they staggered, and the song and dance were flattened. In addition, Meng Da's efforts to cheer up, the atmosphere was very warm.

From the last reception banquet in Chengdu and this Nanjiang banquet, Zhao Feng immediately came to the conclusion: In terms of the ability to eat, drink and play, Liu Bei is not Liu Zhang's opponent at all!

"General Zhao, please!" Meng Da persuaded him to drink with a smile on his face. When it comes to adjusting the atmosphere, Meng Da's ability to dance with long sleeves is far higher than Wu Lan and Lei Tong. These two obviously can't let go. Although they are at the banquet, they are often absent-minded and seem to be absent-minded. Sometimes when they see themselves looking at them, they reluctantly smile, but this makes them look more abnormal.

What Zhao Feng didn't know was that after Meng Da explained things to them yesterday, these two also had trouble sleeping and eating. If these two people are also people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, even if they don't do too much to set up an ambush on the battlefield, they will see more. But this kind of Hongmen banquet is the first time, which is very unprofessional. In addition, they know Zhao Feng well, and they know that they may not be able to deal with Zhao Feng with their own ability, and they are even more uncertain. Both of them were not very calm people. They were uncertain, and the uneasiness on their faces showed.

On the contrary, Meng Da couldn't see anything uneas on his face at all, and even adjusted the atmosphere with ease. It's not surprising that if he can't calm down like Wu Lan and Lei Tong, how can he act over and over again? Under Meng Da's strong push, the banquet entered a small ** from the beginning.

After three rounds of drinking, Meng Da put down the wine bottle in his hand, cleared his throat and said, "General Zhao is here. Meng Da and my lord are honored. At present, there is an important thing for the public to discuss with General Zhao.

"General Meng, but it doesn't matter!" Zhao Feng felt that Meng Da was almost ready to start, and he said without moving at the moment.

"With the righteousness of General Zhao, I wiped out Zhang Lu's demon road for my lord. However, the Duke of Shu is the herdsman of Yizhou. This Hanzhong belongs to the rule of Yizhou. Please also ask General Zhao to hand over Hanzhong to my lord as soon as possible!" After saying that, Meng Da drank all the wine in the glass.

As soon as he said this, the originally noisy banquet suddenly calmed down. Except for a few insiders, the locals who were invited to the banquet did not know. Now when he saw Meng Da suddenly say such words, the person who changed his mind quickly suddenly realized that today's banquet was not as simple as thank you.

Putting down the glass in his hand, Zhao Feng slowly said, "Since Shu Gong has this intention, he should obey. However, Zhao is currently the governor of Hanzhong. Doesn't the Duke of Shu want me to dismiss Zhao?

"Uncle Liu knows how to use people well. General Zhao is under Uncle Huang's command. Why don't he have the opportunity to show his ambitions?" Meng Da replied with a smile.

"But the ownership of the land in Hanzhong is related to my master's plan for the Northern Expedition. Unless my master agrees, Zhao will never dare to evacuate Hanzhong without authorization!" Zhao Feng said lightly, but his tone was extremely resolute. As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that there was no room for discussion.

"In this case, according to the will of the Duke of Shu, I can only invite the general to go to Chengdu to discuss!" After Meng Da said this, he threw the glass in his hand to the ground. The already ambush knives and axes immediately gushed out, and more than a hundred people were ready. The swords came out of the sheath and surrounded Zhao Feng, Niu Jin and other Hanzhong people at the core.

"Niu Jin, it's okay. Put away the knife!" Zhao Feng motioned Niu Jin to take the knife back from the sheath. He slowly stood up, poured a glass of wine in his hand, and slowly walked to the center of the hall. Seeing that he was still not nervous when he was trapped in the sword, everyone secretly admired him: No wonder he could become famous all over the world at such a young age. He was really good.

"General Meng, the reason why I, Zhao Botao, marched into Hanzhong is to avenge my lord in the past, and the other is to remove the great trouble of Shu. When I sit in Hanzhong, it is also agreed between the Duke of Shu and the Lord of my family. After Zhao asked himself that he was in Hanzhong, he had never had any touch with Xichuan, and even ceded the Nanjiang City to the Duke of Shu. Why did the Duke of Shu ask me to withdraw from Hanzhong? It's not negotiable to quit. Why don't you send an envoy to Shouchun to discuss with my master, but hold a Hongmen banquet here? With such treachery, are the people of Nishikawa so ungrateful? Zhao Feng said slowly, as if he didn't care about the swords close at hand. His voice was loud, and everyone in the hall heard it clearly. After hearing this, many officials in Xichuan felt that their faces were lightless.

"General Zhao, don't be surprised. Meng Da doesn't want to do this, but my master insists on taking back Hanzhong, so he has to do so. Please forgive me!" Meng Da looked embarrassed. He said, "It's embarrassing."

Zhao Feng knew that he and Meng Da were acting now. Although Meng Da has the intention to turn to Liu Bei and is ready to fight back with himself. But if it comes out so soon and let people know at a glance that you said you colluded in advance, then Meng Da himself will bear the notoriety of selling his master for glory, which he doesn't want. So now, Zhao Feng needs to build a ladder for him so that he can get rid of Liu Zhang decently. At that time, people will only say that he is profoundly righteous, not betraying his master for glory.

"In this way, General Meng doesn't want to be the enemy of us?" Zhao Feng asked deliberately.

"Do not say I don't want to. No one here wants to be the enemy of the general. I hate that Huang Quan and Zhang Ren, who went against the sky for their own selfishness and instigated Shu Gong and the general to be enemies. I can't help it!" Meng Da sighed. After listening to Meng Da's words, Wu Lan and Lei Tong couldn't help nodding silently.

"General Meng, General Wu, General Lei, three are also famous figures in Xichuan. Now the Duke of Shu was deceived by the annihire, so he did such a thing. The Duke of Shu and my lord are brothers of the same clan, and they also worked together when they attacked Zhang Lu. Even if there is a misunderstanding now, it must be clear in the future. Why don't the three of you calm down for the time being and make a plan after the misunderstanding is resolved? If the three people do something wrong on impulse, then the three people can only bear this account later!"

Zhao Feng's words are soft and hard. The intention now is that you can't afford the crime of turning against Liu Bei. It's not just him, but also Meng Da, Wu Lan and Lei Tong. Meng Da didn't want to be the enemy of Liu Bei at all. Wu Lan and Lei Tong were not full, and they were very hesitant to hear this. The difference is that Wu Lan and Lei Tong are really hesitant, and Meng Da pretends to be hesitant. As for the rest of the people, they are at a loss and can only wait and see.

Just when the atmosphere was depressing, I saw a man rushing to the door of the hall. He saw that the costume was a small schoolman delivering a letter. Seeing the posture of swords in the hall, he was trembling and didn't know what to do. Meng Da hurriedly ordered someone to call him and ask him what was wrong with him.

"The Lord's urgent letter!" The man shivered and handed a letter to Meng Da. Meng Da opened it and took a look, but it was Liu Zhang who urged him to kill Zhao Feng as soon as possible, and then immediately joined the 20,000 Sichuan troops of Wu Lan and Lei Tong, and quickly killed them to Hanzhong. After it is done, there will be a heavy reward; if it is a failure, come and see it. Meng Da said angrily after reading it, "In the face of Zhang Lu, there is nothing he can do to retreat for more than ten years; in the face of the Allies, he is so aggressive and revenge? Although I, Meng Da, am not talented, but such a mediocre master disdains to protect it!" After saying that, he threw the letter on the ground with resentment.

Wu Lan frowned and picked it up. She also shook her head and sighed. She was very disappointed with Liu Zhang. After Lei Tong saw it, she sat down and stopped talking. During the rest of the banquet, everyone read it one after another, and they also sighed. Everyone felt that Liu Zhang was really unorthodox this time. Zhao Feng noticed that Meng Da, who was the first to be indignant, flashed a flash of light in the depths of his eyes.

This letter, drafted by Zhang Song instead of Liu Zhang, eventually became the last fuse that aroused everyone's dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang. Seeing that the time was ripe, Meng Da said loudly, "Gentlemen, Shu is unjust and revenge. I, Meng Da, don't want to be that ungrateful person. Today, Uncle Liu is sitting in the land of the five states. He treats people with benevolence and righteousness and recruits talents. Why don't we give up this mediocre master and go to Uncle Liu?

"That's right!" Many of the guests nodded. Wu Lan and Lei Tong looked at each other and were not in a hurry to make a statement. At this time, it was Zhao Feng's turn to come out and clear his throat. Zhao Feng said before saying, "It's rare for you to be so clear. Zhao is very grateful. My master has a wide range of talents from all over the world. You are all heroes in Sichuan. Why don't you worry about showing your ambitions?

Nanjiang is on the front line of the battle between Hanzhong and Xichuan. How dare large families put their families here? These local rich families who attend the banquet today are just some well-off families. Even if they are an official, they can't be valued, and they can't be no big officials. After listening to Zhao Feng's words, he immediately felt that his career was promising, and he suddenly became lively.

For a long time, a man said, "Gentlemen, the Duke of Shu is not righteous, and I will repay the kindness of revenge. I would like to serve Uncle Liu and live up to what I have learned in my life." Zhao Feng recognized this man as the governor of Nanjiang County. His name was Gongju. He was always known for his eloquence and was similar to Jiang Gan. Zhao Feng still has some images of this person. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he went to replace Liu Bei to make Guan Yu the general of the Five Tigers. At that time, Master Guan was a little unhappy, and it was all up to him to persuade him. If you can convince the arrogant Second Master Guan, this guy can really come with one mouth.

With Fei Shi's opening, the rest of the people no longer worked for Liu Zhang. At present, under the leadership of Meng Da, who was "righteous and awe-inspiring", they announced their separation from Liu Zhang and turned to Liu Bei. Zhao Feng looked at the people who turned against the water in an instant, and also sighed secretly in his heart. Liu Zhang really made Shuzhong angry. Now dozens of people here are not even loyal to him.

Don't say that Meng Da and Zhao Feng are secretly happy, but this superficial article still needs to be done. At present, Zhao Feng came forward to guarantee that these people would go to Liu Bei later, and the benefits would never be less than now. After some appeasement, everyone also put down more than half of their hearts, and then went back at ease, leaving only Zhao Feng and Meng Da, as well as five people, including Wu Lan, Lei Tong and Fei Shi.

"Four people, it is rare for four people to be so profound and righteous. Feng should be in front of my lord and make this matter clear. It's just that at present, the Duke of Shu has turned against us. I don't know what good policies you have to deal with? At this point, Zhao Feng no longer hides anything. Now that you have turned against each other, let's make it clear. The so-called response is still a more polite statement. In fact, it is how to fight against Liu Chang.

"General Zhao, there were originally 20,000 defenders in Jianmeng Pass, but now I only left 2,000 people to guard the pass, and the rest were transferred to Nanjiang City for today's sake. In addition, Da also brought thousands of soldiers and horses, and the general's Hanzhong army and horses, why don't we take the opportunity to attack Chengdu and condemn it? Unlike Wu Lan and Lei Tong, Meng Da quickly adapted to his role as a surrenderer, and even began to make suggestions for the counterattack. He really deserves to be a senior of the two or five children of the Three Kingdoms.

"Just like this, I have sent a Pegasus to inform my master and let him send troops from Jingzhou to attack Chengdu together!" Zhao Feng thought for a thought. Seeing that Zhao Feng had done this step, the four of them knew that it was difficult to give up at the moment. They also opened the bow and did not turn back, so they could only accompany him all the way.

"The guard general of Jianmeng Pass is my deputy general. Let's wait for me to take Weimeng Pass first!" Wu Lan thought for a moment, and now he led the troops of the headquarters, converged the 3,000 troops brought by Zhao Feng, and the 3,000 troops of Meng Da, and merged them to kill them in a place.

"What?" Far away from the Jianmeng Pass, Wu Lan was also very puzzled when he saw that there was no figure at all in Guancheng. As soon as he arrived, Wu Lan also shouted loudly, "I'm Wu Lan. Open the gate quickly!"

"Hahahaha, how slow General Wu came!" With this burst of laughter, flags and generals suddenly appeared on the originally silent Guancheng, and the two generals also laughed. At the same time, more than a hundred bows and crossbows aimed at Wu Lan, who only had time to scream and was shot into a hedgehog.
