Chapter two hundred and sixty nine lights

The news of Gongsun Zhi entering the city spread around the night. Xu Du's west gate had been temporarily blocked. The caravan and pedestrians could only wait until the army entered before they could restart.

Not long after, countless horse hooves walked into the west gate on the floor tiles. In order to ensure that no one took the opportunity to assassinate, the streets had been controlled and cleared by military soldiers. Most of the people and merchants on this street could only watch at their own homes or on the second floor of the restaurant, waiting for the clean street to be lifted.

The white wolf flag was hideous and terrifying. The people in Xudu City did not know whose army it was. They boldly looked out on the second floor or in the street shops. Some pedestrians who had nowhere to hide were close to the edge of the street, watching the three riders walking side by side passing by.

"...... Are there such cavalry under Cao Sikong's command?"

"I heard that it came from the grassland. Could it be the cavalry of the Xiongnu and Xianbei."

"It should be the one who killed the Xianbei. Last year, I heard that there was the son of the White Horse General in the north. The Xianbei and the Huns surrendered. It should be this person. These are really elites."

On the long street, the people were probably not as cowardly as they were afraid, and they were talking in a low voice, probably discussing the young man who entered the city side by side with Cao Sikong and which of the hundreds of cavalry under his command belonged to. On the second floor of the nearby restaurant, the literati Yake learned the news early and gathered here, saving to see what kind of person the white wolf in the north could be greeted by Cao Sikong himself.

In such an atmosphere.

Upstairs at a restaurant, near the window, two young men sat and drank, laughing from time to time during the conversation. Wei Ji added wine to the person opposite him, "Ji first congratulated Brother Gong Zhen, but he had a new student at home, and was promoted to be the Huangmen Minister by Sikong. He was happy to be the one who drank a full drink."

"What Bo Yu said? Didn't your wife give birth to a son for you last month?" A young man named Wei Zhen snatched the wine pot from the opposite side and also gave it to the other party. "At that time, my brother was still on the way to Xudu, and he could not congratulate Bo Yu, and he would drink together."

The two of them toasted each other with wine and then laughed.

"It's a pity... Zhongdao is gone. He didn't listen to my advice that day and caused trouble. He insisted on entangling Gongsun Lang. Just a woman, just run away and find another one. What's the result? Now that the government doesn't even let go of a fart, the person will be gone in vain." Wei Zhen put down the empty bowl and recalled that night. If he had left late, it would have been a fate with his body and head. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Gong Zhen, don't talk about this." Wei Ji pinched the chopsticks and then laughed, "... Zhongdao has been away for a long time, so don't mention the matter that day. It will only make me, my brother, blame myself. If I had taught him more, I would not end like this..."

When he was about to say something else, there were dense sounds of horse hooves on the street outside the building... and came downstairs. Wei Ji got up and looked at the window, narrowed his eyes and pressed his fingers tightly on the window frame: "Brother Gong Zhen, that's Gongsun Zhi."

His eyes gathered among the two figures talking together. One of the young figures said softly. Beside him, Wei Zhen walked over: "Bo Yu, is this the White Wolf King in the North? You are so young, about the same age as me, the cavalry behind that man is really as good as Huo Cavalry."

"The son of a slut, just a horse thief." Wei Ji snorted coldly with disdain.

"I'll die sooner or later..."

He didn't say this sentence.

There were many scholars and distinguished guests in the restaurant. Watching the cavalry entering the city, they made comments from time to time, buzzing and noisy. At the same time, opposite the restaurant, a tall and strong old man pushed away his son, held the fence and looked at the cavalry array passing below, muttering to himself: "A real tiger and wolf cavalry."

"Father, although there are tiger and wolf cavalry below, they are closely related to Cao Mengde after all, and have nothing to do with the court."

The old man seemed not to listen to his son's words, and his eyes looked at the cavalry without blinking, and his fingers trembled: "Jianshou, look, these cavalry, with both legs and weapons in both hands, can control the horses so accurately. Perhaps this cavalry will only have it when moving forward in Wuhan. The horses have mottled scars and the armor is dark, and it is stained red with blood and not washed away. It is really an elite."

"But it's a pity..." The old man's name is Huangfu Song. Now he is only in Taichang. He probably has no real power. He is older. He is excited for a while. He sat back and closed his eyes and sighed: "Since Zhang Wen and Zhu Jun passed away one after another, there is no one in the court who can lead troops. Why do you want to contact this white horse general? After contacting this white horse general, what's wrong with people?"

"Yes! I'm going to try it out." Huangfu Jianshou nodded.

Soon after, the sky fell.

************************

In the grand and grand Cao Mansion, there were lights and rows of lanterns hanging on the eaves. More than a dozen maids were carrying dishes, wine and meat to give them. The bright lights in the main hall shone huge mottled on the stone steps, and boiling voices came from inside, and the sounds of silk and bamboo were intertwined. In the seats where the wine was mixed, Xiahou Dun stood up and played with people, shouting loudly.

The whole banquet was clearly ranked. Most of the important generals in the army that could participate in such a banquet were important in the army on both sides. In addition to the clan generals of the Cao and Xiahou, there were also counselors such as Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, Chen Yu, and others. On the right were the generals led by Gongsun Zhi this time, Pan Feng, Yan Rou, Qian Zhao, Gongsun Xu, Dian Wei and others. Strictly speaking, there are half a group of people in the world who can stand at the top.

The generals on both sides greeted the singing girls dancing in the middle, raised their glasses and drank, and laughed. The first Cao Cao chatted with Gongsun Zhi for a while, looked at the slender figures with long sleeves in the middle, and turned his head to speak to the woman, "Gongsun, for my son's affairs, I came thousands of miles away, and I was sleeping in the open middle, which was quite hard. What do you think of that woman? He was a singing girls rescued in Luoyang that year. He grew up in the mansion and learned a variety of skills. He called Ying'er..."

In the noisy hall, the sound of silk and bamboo was still whispering rhythmically under the feet of the women. As the pink long sleeves flew, only a white figure filled with buds in the middle. Under the rhythmic vocal music, the woman spread her arms and danced her sleeves, and the hem of the skirt that was mopping the floor was splashing. The pink flowers embroidered on it seemed to be in bud. The pull on the arms dragged the Yan Luo Zi Light Gauze about a ft. The lotus steps danced with the vocal music.

Long black hair sometimes slides between the snow-white fingers, and sometimes it scatters lightly with the dancing. On the bun made of hair, a golden bead that droops sway between the temples. The exposed skin does not need to be powdered and white as fat. When the lips are red, it is as bright as a lying fruit, making people salivate.

The cold and bright eyes slid across the corners of their eyes, and when they looked fascinated, the thick men around them shivered.

"...There is quite new on the bed. If Gongsun is interested, I will give her to you."

"Lai Ying'er..." Gongsun Zhi said this name and suddenly thought that there was another guard named Wang Tu next to Cao Cao. He didn't care at the beginning. When he contacted each other, he now remembered that he had heard an opera from the radio... It seemed that it was the entanglement between Lai Ying'er, Wang Tu, Cao Cao, and the three of them.

After thinking for a while, Gongsun Zhi shook his head and lowered the meat-cut dagger: "Sikong was joking. I don't want to wear a green hat on my head. By the way, kill Wang Tu."

"Cuckold? What does this have to do with Wang Tu? This person is loyal to me. How can he kill me if he says he is killed?" Cao Cao waved his hand, as if he understood something, and slanted towards Gongsun Zhi. "Do you think this girl is not finished, so don't? Well, okay! There are still girls over ten years old in my house, and they all look great. I'll send you a few to the room later."

"Sikong is so generous, but my energy is not on this." Gongsun Zhi cut off a large piece of meat and handed it to the giant man standing next to him. The latter took a bite and ate it, chewed it for a few seconds and swallowed it into his stomach.

Cao Cao smiled and pointed at him: "I am not a hero." Then, he looked at Dian Wei and the pair of iron halberds, and said enviously: "The hero around Gongsun should be as evil as ancient times, and he will be safe and sound everywhere."

"Isn't thank Sikong for giving the name." Gongsun Zhi waved. On the other side, Dian Wei stared at Xu Chu, who was also standing opposite him, and then bowed to Cao Cao: "Dian Wei thanked Sikong for giving the name."

"Hahaha, your Gongsun has always been this kind of character, and he is very skillful in using a set of sticks on snakes." Cao Cao picked up the wine and drank it with Gongsun Zhi, and put it down: "After seeing Your Majesty tomorrow, just go out of the city and let me take a good look at the Northland Wolf Rider."

This sentence made the generals below clamor, and Xiahou Dun shouted red-facedly: "What are you looking at? Why don't you join forces to attack Wancheng, cut off Zhang Xiu's head, and comfort Zixiu." Opposite, Pan Feng slapped the table and drank red eyes: "There are also his family and all, and they will be cut together." But the final decision was the two people in the first place. Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhi were probably unwilling to make a decision easily on this matter. No one spoke, but just raised his hand to let everyone sit down.

Not long after, late at night, the banquet dispersed, and everyone walked out of the main hall in groups of three or three, leaving only the drunk Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhi still sitting there. After a while, Cao Cao poured wine and handed over: "For Zixi, please come this time, but Wancheng can't fight now, and it's impossible to fight when winter comes."

"I know."
