In addition, Ma Jun was suddenly hung up by the other party in the past two days. Ma Jun was eager to find out the truth, so he agreed.
He called his generals and gave them some instructions before preparing to leave. However, he didn't expect that all of his subordinates heard that he was going to Xu's army to eat and drink well and quit.
"Sir, you can't do this. What Duke Xu said was 'please invite all soldiers'. It's not good for you to go alone."
They are also greedy for Xu Jiajun’s good wine and food!
Ma Jun glanced at them coldly, "You and I have gone, and there is no one in the camp. If something happens, who can take care of it?"
The generals looked at each other, then pointed at each other: "You stay!"
The big tent suddenly became a mess, and the noise made Ma Jun's ears hurt. He shouted angrily and randomly ordered one person to stay, while the others all went to the Xu Jiajun barracks together.
Now, most of them are satisfied.
Ignoring the resentful look of the left-behind general, Ma Jun led five or six captains to the city gate, opened the city gate, and joined Xu Da and others outside the city.
The two parties smiled in a friendly manner and headed to the Xu Jiajun military camp together politely.
Previously, the generals only watched the Xu Jiajun barracks from a distance on the city wall, guessing that the Xu Jiajun here were well fed and well housed, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.
As soon as they stepped into the Xu Jiajun camp, the generals were immediately shocked by the neat and orderly military camp in front of them.
"I have never seen such a clean military camp!" A certain captain exclaimed in Ma Jun's ear in a low voice.
The military camps in front of us are arranged neatly, with straight grid roads on the ground, one horizontally and one vertically, very regular and pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, the most unpleasant smell of horse manure in the military camp was so faint that it could hardly be smelled in the Xu family camp. This shows how diligently the horse guards groomed their horses.
This is nothing. The Xu Jiajun who walked through the camp were all tall and rosy-faced. Their strong bodies could not be maintained without sufficient meat intake.
Ma Jun lowered his head and glanced at the general's belly that he had specially cultivated, and suddenly felt that it was not worth being proud of at all.
Look at these Xu Jiajun, which one is not tall and covered with fat?
Xu Jiajun’s food must be very good!
Ma Jun and several of his men looked at each other, secretly looking forward to today's meal.
Xu Jiajun is so wealthy, so the things used to entertain guests will definitely be good.
So, just when Ma Jun and others came to the Xu Jiajun coach's tent with great expectations, thinking that they could have a feast, with a "hurrah", soldiers from the Xu Jiajun who came from nowhere surrounded them like locusts.
Ma Jun was shocked, and he threw his arms to resist, but unexpectedly, a solid wooden stick knocked down him. Even a tough guy couldn't resist, and he fell to the ground unconscious in an instant.
Before he fell into coma, he wailed in his heart: This damn Xu Jiajun has no moral ethics!
The remaining captains were easier to deal with. With their hearts and eyes still fixed on the table filled with melons, fruits, wine and meat in the big tent, Zhang Fei jumped up and struck each of them with a stick, knocking them all unconscious.
On the wall of the Acropolis in the distance, the captain who was forced to stay behind was looking towards the Xu family army full of resentment. He didn't wait for the "everything is okay" signal from Ma Jun and others.
He jumped up.
...
Wang Pingping stepped down from the main position of the big tent and said: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. These generals of the Ma family are so simple."
Xu Da raised his eyes and saw no guilt on her face. He sneered lightly and thought to himself, I don't see you being merciful because of this.
Zhang Fei asked for instructions: "General, what should we do with these people? It seems that something is wrong on the acropolis opposite. If we want to attack today, we must race against time to seize the opportunity!"
Zhao Yun had already tied up Ma Jun and all five captains.
They were all military generals with good physical fitness. Zhang Fei's stick did not cause much damage to them. At this moment, their eyelids trembled, as if they were about to wake up.
Zhao Yun immediately made a sword each, leaving them unconscious.
Wang Pingping waved her hand at Zhang Fei, "Why do you just want to fight? Subduing the enemy without fighting is the best policy!"
"We still need the troops of the Ma family to deal with Cao De's army. It will not be good for us to really be at odds with Xiliang."
The Xiliang cavalry is famous for its bravery. If they can get Ma Chao's help, they can take over Sili and Yanzhou in one fell swoop this time.
Therefore, she set up this Hongmen Banquet just to give Ma Chao a chance to surrender.
Of course, if the opponent is stubborn and refuses to cooperate even if he is beaten to death, then she doesn't mind marching into Xiliang and beheading Ma Chao directly.
The worst thing is that the time to capture Sili and Yanzhou will be extended later.
As for the Cao family's army coming from the south at this moment, Wang Pingping was not panicked at all, and was even a little impatient.
In Xiliang, there is a natural pass in the middle, which is extremely narrow.
In the past, this was a pass used by Daqing to resist the invasion of the Huns. Now, it is very suitable for closing the gate and beating dogs.
As long as Cao Jun dares to come in, she will tell them to never return!
"I have the advantage. Don't panic. Sit down and have something to eat. Let's wait slowly."
Wang Pingping sat down again, pointed at the fruits, wine and dishes on the table, and asked everyone to eat while waiting.
Who can resist the temptation of delicious food?
Ma Jun was awakened by the strong aroma of barbecue. He opened his eyes in confusion. His mind was still a little confused and he couldn't tell where he was. He shouted:
"If you have any good wine or food, bring them all to me!"
After shouting, Zhang Fei came to his senses and woke up, feeling very frightened.
Without giving him a chance to open his mouth again, Zhao Yun stuffed his mouth with a baked potato.
In this way, the Xu Jiajun camp was eating and drinking, and the air was full of happiness.
In the Acropolis, under the dedicated care of military doctors, Ma Chao was finally able to go to the ground.
In fact, he injured his hand and was able to get off the ground early in the morning. However, the military doctor and the personal guards around him were afraid that something might happen to him, so they were extremely careful, so they just endured it until today.
Just as Ma Chao was about to sit down at the dinner table and eat something to comfort himself from his several breakdowns these days, he heard someone shouting outside:
"My lord, something is not right! Master Ma Jun and several captains were deceived by Xu Jiajun's men!"
Ma Chao didn't even have time to put a piece of meat into his mouth. He quickly put down his chopsticks, got up and strode outside.
Before he could leave the tent, the shouting officers and soldiers rushed in. When they saw him, they were stunned for a moment, and then fell to their knees.
"What's going on? What's going on? Get up and explain it carefully to me, the general!"
Ma Chao lifted the officer and soldier up, and the accompanying military doctor hurriedly told him to be careful with his hands, so as not to cause the old injury to recur.
Ma Chao then let go of the officer and asked him to explain the matter clearly.
It was a matter of life and death for Ma Jun and others, so the officers and soldiers honestly told the story of how many times Xu Jiajun had been fed before and after.
