Chapter 127 Extracurricular Skills at the Banquet

Push the cup and drink six, and the banquet is coming to an end. Gongsun Zan waved his hand to stop the dancer from retreating, and then he stared at Taishi Ci and asked, "General Taishi, I miss the general very much since Chang'an. Now, Youzhou is facing internal and external troubles. I don't know if the general intends to stay with Ben Mu, fight for Ben Mu, and return to a clear and pacified world in Youzhou?

According to the previous arrangement of Gongsun Zan, Taishi Ci's face was embarrassed. He arched his hand and said to Gongsun Zan, "Jihou, it is not that I am going to be ungrateful. At present, I have turned to Lieutenant Liu Yu, and it is really difficult to agree to the request of Jihou... Jihou, who will listen to the order under Liu Yu's account, and also serve Youzhou. Why does Jihou need to be confined? What about the form?"

Tai Shici swervely refused Gongsun Zan's request and was immediately opposed by most of them. They looked at Tai Shici one by one. The feudal society was hierarchical, especially in the military camp, which paid special attention to seniority. Because of this unspoken rule, even Zhao Yun, who is born with martial arts cultivation, is equivalent to the captain's bodyguard. If Zhao Yun was at the scene at this time and was still not qualified to sit down, he could only stand behind Gongsun Zan and be responsible for the responsibility of security.

Before the banquet, Gongsun Zan specially arranged Tai Shici to be the chief of the VIP seat. This courtesy has been hated by Yan Gangtian Kai and other fierce generals. They followed Gongsun Zan to the death and fought for ten years, and they did not receive such a high-level courtesy. At present, Tai Shici openly refused Gongsun Zan's request to solicit him. Tian Kaiyan Gang and other fierce generals looked at Gongsun Zan's sad expression, and the hatred in his heart suddenly turned into anger.

Tian Kai, the general of Wupin, suddenly patted the table, stared at Tai Shici angrily and shouted, "Tai Shici, you take yourself too seriously! Don't make a toast and don't drink! Even in the face of the current lieutenant Liu Yu, Jihou has never been so low... Tai Shici, if you don't submit to us, you don't want to walk out of Jicheng today!"

In the face of Tian Kai's sudden anger, Gongsun Zan did not immediately stop the scolding. He lowered his head and looked at the dishes all over the table. The other generals looked happy. Because Tian Kai's anger gave them a bad breath!

In the face of Tian Kai's angry shouts, Tai Shici suddenly became angry. Can a bloody super fierce general face others' accusations against him in public? The wine and anger in Tai Shici's body were fiercely fused and fermented. He turned red and pointed to Tian Kai and scolded, "Are you General Tian Kaitian? Why do you blame Ben? Guishun Taiwei Liu Yu or Chengjihou Gongsun Zan, this is Ben's own business. What does it matter with you? I really don't know what to do, General Tian, which green onion and garlic are you? What are you blinding about..."

"Ignorant child, don't be rampant!" Tian Kai suddenly stood up and pointed to the tip of Taishici's nose and scolded, "Taishici, if you don't obey us today, you can't leave here!" Tai Shici, this is Youzhou, not Qingzhou. No matter what you have, you don't want to leave here!"

When Tian Kai said this, even Yan Gang, who was usually against him, suddenly stood up and stared at Tai Shici opposite him angrily. In the face of a strong enemy, the two old opponents also began to share the same hatred. As the master, Gongsun Zan only frowned slightly in the face of the tense situation and did not immediately persuade him. What can he say? On both sides of the confrontation, one side is a loyal confidant, and the other side is a super fierce general that they admire. Who is he accusing? Who are you defending?

The people present know that Tian Kai is wholeheartedly defending the interests of Gongsun Zan, and his anger at Tai Shici also expresses the depression and dissatisfaction of the people present; and Tai Shici's strong rebuttal is also for his own dignity and position. The two openly scolded each other. On the surface, it was to protect the interests and positions of all parties, but in fact, it was for their loyalty to their masters.

Being threatened and insulted naked, Tai Shici suddenly became furious. He picked up the glass and threw it at Tian Kai. Tian Kai couldn't dodge and was hit by the wine glass head-on. His nose was hit by the wine glass, and he suddenly collapsed and blood flowed. Tian Kai covered his nose in pain and kept shouting. Seeing this, Yan Gang, who was beside him, pulled out his knife and rushed to Taishici. The other generals also looked angry and eager to try.

Tai Shici did not take action, but just knelt down as a mountain. At this time, Gongsun Zong suddenly shouted, "No! What's the style of treating General Taishi like this? General Yan, retreat!"

Hearing Gongsun Zan's angry shout, Yan Gang immediately stopped flying and stopped in front of Tai Shici's table. Under the gaze of Gongsun Zan like a steel needle, Yan Gang retreated to his seat annoidly. When the injured Tian Kai saw that Gongsun Zan favored Tai Shici, he left the seat angrily and threw his sleeves away.

Gongsun Zun looked at Tai Shici and sighed, "That's all! That's all! Everyone has their own aspirations. Since General Taishi has made up his mind, it is not easy for me to forcibly retain him... General Taishi, I can't beat the wine power and can't send him away. Please help yourself!"

The twisted melon is not sweet, and Gongsun Zong can only bear the pain and give up. Gongsun Zan bid farewell to Tai Shici coldly, which formed a strong contrast with the previous grand greeting ceremony. When Tai Shici heard Gongsun Zan's words, he looked guilty and said goodbye.

In the anger of everyone, Tai Shici raised his head and left resolutely, while Gongsun Zan staggered back to the inner hall. At that moment, everyone found that Gongsun Zan was much older. This shows that Gongsun Zun has been hit a lot.

Tai Shici and his party rushed back to Yanjing City overnight. In the general's tent, Tai Shici and Gao Shun Sulman's confidants discussed the strategy to deal with the situation in Youzhou overnight.

In front of a military map, Taishici pointed to the icons of Jicheng and Yanjingcheng in the map and said to Gao Shun and Surman, "Two brothers, according to the comprehensive analysis of the information I have, the situation in Youzhou is really delicate. Youzhou is not as calm and stable as it seems. During it, the undercurrent is surging, and the relationship between Lieutenant Liu Yu and Sun Zan, the herdsman of Youzhou, was very tense... More than a decade ago, the territory of Youzhou was sparsely populated and inaccessible. Since the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army in Guanzhong, the imperial court removed the border saggarris and entered the customs to eliminate the yellow scarf rebels. Because of the emptiness of the border fortress, Xianbei, Wuheng, Xiongnu and other Rongdi robbers took the opportunity to go south, plundered our Han resources and bullied the people of the frontier. Ten years ago, Gongsun Zan led the volunteers spontaneously organized by the local rich clan to resist Rong Di's invasion. After years of bloody battles, he gradually stabilized the chaotic situation in Youzhou. Later, the people of Guanzhong migrated to Youzhou one after another to avoid various war disasters. With the stability of the regional situation and a large number of skilled people migrating, Youzhou began a once-in-a-lifetime development opportunity... However, later, the court coveted the wealth and wealth of Youzhou, so it sent Liu Yu, the emperor to sit in Youzhou and preside over the government affairs of Youzhou.

According to what he knew about Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan has no heart for the court. His greatest wish is to keep one side safe as far as he can. Unexpectedly, after Liu Yu sat in Youzhou, his attitude towards the enemy Rong Di was completely opposite to Gongsun Zan's strategy: he treated Rong Di with Huairou's policy, while Gongsun Zan treated him with a high-pressure and combative attitude. Ha ha, two brothers, according to reason: it is better to use the Huairou policy than the policy of high-pressure coercion. After all, it can save all kinds of costs by peaceful communication than by force, and the people can also avoid the disaster of war.

But in the face of the specific situation in Youzhou, no matter which policy, it also depends on the timing. You can't carve a boat and ask for a sword to wait for the rabbit! For example, several former emperors of the Han Dynasty used the Huairou policy of tribute and marriage to the powerful Xiongnu in the early stage, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a strategy of forcing iron and blood. At one time, he beat the invincible Xiongnu to pieces and could no longer form a climate...

The reality of Youzhou is that Gongsun Zan's military strength obviously exceeds that of Rongdi in the north. Therefore, Gongsun Zan believes that Youzhou, which has a large number of soldiers, is not suitable for Rongdi with Huairou policy, which will grow Rongdi's pride and arrogance. In contrast, since Liu Yu suppressed Gongsun Zan with the official position of lieutenant and treated Rong Di with Huairou's policy, even if Rong Di did not invade the army, Youzhou will lose a large amount of property and various resources for no reason every year. Liu Yu measured the material and financial resources of Youzhou, and the hearts of the foreign race, so the foreign race took Liu Yu as the leader. Under the joint pressure of Liu Yu and Rong Di, Gongsun Zan's army became more and more difficult. The two sides have gradually formed a tense situation in which water and fire are incompatible.
