Everyone gathered together to discuss recent events and future plans. No matter how big or small, everything needed to be negotiated and come to a result today.
Unconsciously, the sky darkened. Cheng Dalei yawned and looked up to find that the night outside the window was already dark.
"Let's stop here today. It's not easy for everyone to get together. It's better to choose a different day. How about I be a host and invite the brothers to drink?"
After a series of battles, no one is keeping his head on his belt. It is only recently that everyone has had a chance to get together.
Zhang Fei, Gao Feibao and others are particularly lively, so even if Cheng Dalei wouldn't say it, they would take the initiative to suggest it.
"Then we will disturb the boss. I heard that the cooks in Jingzhou are much more powerful than those in Liangzhou."
Cheng Dalei smiled and ordered people to remove the chairs and replace them with tables, bowls, chopsticks and plates.
Fighting all the way from Liangzhou, in addition to surrendering troops, Cheng Dalei also recruited many other talents. For example, cooks...
Not long after, there were servants passing around the dishes, delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and all kinds of delicacies were handed over like dragons. They were all brothers, and there were not many rules.
After a while, people's faces and ears started to feel hot, and people were clapping their fists and shouting, making it very lively.
Gao Feibao stood up and walked out of the queue, saying: "I heard that there are many girls who are good at singing and dancing in the mansion of the master. Today we are all gathered together. Why don't you invite the master to come out and open our eyes?"
Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes at him, clapped his hands gently, and then a singing and dancing troupe poured in.
The orioles sing and the swallows dance, and there is a sound of frolic.
After a long while, the wine was almost drunk. Zhang Fei wandered out of the queue and said: "Thank you for your hospitality today. I would like to toast you with this wine. When you and I move to Chang'an City, you and I will have a good drink."
I won’t come back drunk.”
Cheng Dalei's face suddenly drooped. He raised his head and found that the hall had become quiet. Those who seemed drunk were looking at him motionless at this moment.
Cheng Dalei curled his lips, as expected, there is no good banquet, no good meeting. Today many people gathered together, in addition to discussing recent matters, I am afraid that everyone has other purposes in mind.
Cheng Dalei's proposal to hold a banquet played into their hearts. He was digging a hole by himself and jumping into it.
This is obviously an attempt to force them to go to the palace. If I don't give them an explanation today, I'm afraid that things will not go well today.
Cheng Dalei was thinking a lot, thinking about how to get over this matter. But judging from the looks of everyone, this hurdle would not be easily passed.
At this time, Liu Facai hurried in and said: "Master, big things are not going well, big things are going to be bad."
Gao Feibao took Liu Facai over and said: "Old Liu, everyone is waiting for you, hurry up, I'll drink three drinks as a penalty."
It took a lot of effort to get the conversation started. Cheng Dalei was now riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. Gao Feibao didn't want Cheng Dalei to use the slope to get off the donkey.
Cheng Dalei immediately regained his energy, stood up and said, "Tell me, what's the big deal?"
Liu Facai sent Hua Mulan out of the city today. He was not in the city during the day, so he did not attend today's dinner. And now, he really doesn't know what happened or the situation here.
"It is reported to the great master that his subordinates deserve to die. General Hua went out of the city for thirty miles and met the Rong tribe. General Hua may have been kidnapped by the Rong tribe..."
"Maybe?" Cheng Dalei opened his eyes wide.
"This... my subordinate got separated from General Hua after meeting the Rong tribe. Now General Hua's whereabouts are unknown, and I don't know the specific whereabouts of General Hua."
"But..." Liu Facai paused: "The banner of this Rong tribe seems to be named Lu?"
Cheng Dalei was startled, and then shouted: "Here, come, bring me the master's armor?"
Thanks to Liu Facai's timely appearance, Cheng Dalei was able to survive the disaster. As for Lu Fengxian, Cheng Dalei was determined to win. If he had the opportunity to kill him, Cheng Dalei would never let it go.
Someone brought Cheng Dalei dressed in weapons and changed his clothes on the spot. Cheng Dalei changed out of his casual clothes and put on his military uniform.
He was dressed in black armor and had a sword on his waist. He had murderous intent even before he opened his mouth. No one dared to force him like before. At this moment, the drunkenness disappeared and they all stood up at the same time.
"Zhang Fei." Cheng Dalei shouted.
"My subordinate is here."
"You have suffered losses at the hands of your enemies several times. I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. I will mobilize three thousand of your Zhang Zijun troops to follow me out of the city."
Just because Cheng Dalei didn't mention some things doesn't mean that Cheng Dalei doesn't know about them. At the same time, this is also a knife hanging over Zhang Fei's head.
"Yes, I obey."
Zhang Fei immediately left the hall and began to mobilize troops.
Everyone who stayed in the hall spoke one after another: "Master, are your subordinates requesting to go to war?"
Cheng Dalei originally wanted to leave some people to defend the city, but when he thought about it carefully, the man surnamed Lu was extremely difficult to deal with. It would be better to bring more people with him to be prepared.
"Liu Bei stays to see the city, and the others will follow me to fight."
"yes."
Everyone readily agreed and immediately prepared armor and weapons. In less than half an hour, three thousand soldiers and horses and generals had gathered at the east gate of Lingchuan City.
After keeping a low profile for so many years, Toad Village has demonstrated extremely strong execution capabilities.
Cheng Dalei was dressed in military uniform, with a silver-eyed man carrying an ax behind him.
"Liu Facai, does he know about the Rong clan's movements?"
"My subordinates know."
"Lead the way and follow me out of the city."
Three thousand men and horses shouted and followed Cheng Dalei out of Lingchuan City.
…
In the dark night, Hua Mulan escaped with the remaining troops in the mountain forest.
When she came to Lingchuan City this time, she only brought a few dozen cavalry. When leaving the city, Cheng Dalei originally wanted to send her away, but she rejected it. Only Liu Facai and a few people sent her out of the city.
Unexpectedly, they met the Rong tribe on the way and the two sides were separated. The enemy leader was extra brave and defeated Hua Mulan in just three rounds.
Fortunately, the surrounding terrain was complicated and she managed to escape without dying on the spot.
The soldiers' torches dispersed the night, and behind them were the sounds of horse hooves and shouts of killing.
Hua Mulan held a dagger and smeared herself on her way. She didn't know where she was now. But she knew in her heart that she couldn't hold on much longer.
Cheng Dalei is also incompetent. There are Rong tribe activities thirty miles outside Lingchuan City. What happened today is that Cheng Dalei is incompetent and he is unlucky.
As expected, when he escaped from the forest and entered a field, the soldiers behind him chased him.
"No arrows are allowed, General Lu, capture the female general alive."
The commander of this Rong clan was not an ordinary person. After biting Hua Mulan, he immediately launched a siege. In an instant, Hua Mulan was surrounded by water.
Hua Mulan held the heavy sword with both hands and assumed a fighting stance. Today is today. I want to kill my aunt. Let’s see if you have the ability.
Before he died, he had to take a few people to support him.
Spitting out the blood foam in her mouth, Hua Mulan said one word: "Come."
A Rong general came on horseback. Hua Mulan took a deep breath and cut off the horse's legs with a sword.
