Chapter 181 Hongmen Banquet?
The next day, Yuan Shu apologized despite his injuries.
As soon as he entered the general's tent, he knelt on the ground and confessed his mistakes.
Under the protection of Yuan Shao, Kong Rong and others, Ye Feng naturally would not investigate further and give them face.
Seeing that the knot had been untied, Yuan Shao said with a smile: "The leader just arrived yesterday, and the army will set out the day after tomorrow, heading straight for Sishui Pass. We actually forgot to even welcome the leader. This is really wrong."
"I will hold a banquet in the camp tonight. Please don't refuse. Let's welcome the leader together and celebrate the victory in advance."
Yuan Shu and Kong Jun echoed: "It couldn't be better. How can we not show our appreciation?"
After Xun Yu's suggestion, Cao Cao did not express his opinion, but simply did not object.
Seeing that all the princes agreed, Ye Feng, who was in the position of alliance leader, naturally did not say anything to spoil the fun, but there were a few gleams in his eyes.
After another round of greetings, the princes withdrew one after another.
After the princes walked away, Guo Jia, who was in the corner, walked forward slowly and said with interest: "My lord, you are here with bad intentions!"
"Yuan Shu is a mean-spirited person who will never give up until he is vengeful. After being humiliated yesterday, he should have led his troops to withdraw from the alliance and left in the dark. I didn't expect him to do this by carrying a thorn stick on his back to ask for forgiveness. This is very unusual."
Ye Feng raised his lips and said, "Feng Xiao, what do you think they are up to?"
Guo Jia said: "My lord, you already know it very well, is there any need for me to say more?"
Dian Wei standing by was puzzled, his eyes full of confusion: "My Lord, what on earth do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
"What is this kid Yuan Shu up to? Yesterday I wanted to beat him up openly with a military stick, but Mr. Guo Jia insisted that Yunchang hold me back, saying that someone else would come forward."
"You didn't explain it clearly at the time, and now you're keeping it a secret. I'm so anxious!"
Ye Feng and Guo Jia smiled at each other, and Guo Jia patiently explained, "If you had really attacked Yuan Shu yesterday, how could you have divided the various princes?"
"You forgot the look Yuan Shu gave Zhang Fei when he was leaving. He and Liu Bei had a deep hatred for each other."
Dian Wei suddenly realized: "What do you mean by that?"
Ye Feng tapped Dian Wei's head with his finger: "I asked you to study more, but you just don't want to."
"Have you heard the story of the Hongmen Banquet?"
Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I know this story, back then."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Feng and Guo Jia had already left the general's tent. He immediately looked embarrassed and hurriedly chased after them.
Night falls.
The lights were on in Yuan Shao’s camp.
As soon as Ye Feng arrived at the entrance of the camp, Yuan Shao and a group of princes came to greet him with a smile: "Alliance leader, please come in, we have been here for a long time!"
Ye Feng waved his hand: "In terms of qualifications and background, I am not worthy of your waiting. I will not go home until I am drunk tonight."
Having said this, Ye Feng looked around and saw that Yuan Shu was the only one missing from the princes. He subconsciously asked, "Where is General Yuan Shu? Why didn't he come tonight?"
"Didn't you say you would find a chance to make amends?"
"You don't still hate me, do you?"
"It seems I need to find an opportunity to admit my mistake and make amends."
Yuan Shao shook his head and smiled: "What are you talking about, leader? I was going to come here, but the wound on my back suddenly flared up and it hurt so much that I had to stay in the camp to recover."
"Please don't blame me for my impoliteness, leader."
Ye Feng said meaningfully: "We have already talked about today's matter, and everything should be over now, but don't say one thing and do another."
Yuan Shao was startled and thought that Ye Feng had other intentions. Just as he was thinking of asking him indirectly, Ye Feng had already walked away.
The tent was brightly lit.
The various princes sat down, and Yuan Shao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Today is a welcome day for the leader of the alliance, and I have specially offered the good wine that I have treasured for thirty years in my family. Let's drink to our heart's content."
"Come on, come on."
After saying that, he opened the wine, and the aroma filled the air instantly.
Sun Jian and Ma Teng were both wine lovers. They were intoxicated as soon as they smelled the wine. They laughed and said, "Alliance leader, we are all blessed by you today. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to drink this good wine."
"Even when we swore an oath of blood, Alliance Leader Yuan was unwilling to give it up." Yuan Shao laughed: "Isn't it still a bargain for you now?"
"Come, let's have a drink together."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.
Seeing Ye Feng drink the wine with his own eyes, Yuan Shao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"Alliance leader, how does this wine compare to the 'Thousand Days Drunk' you brewed?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "In terms of strong liquor, it is naturally not as good as the 'Thousand Day Drunk' I brewed, but in terms of mellowness, my 'Thousand Day Drunk' is not as good as your fine wine!"
Yuan Shao laughed: "The leader is so kind, I should drink a few more cups."
"Come again!"
As he said this, he raised his glass and toasted Ye Feng from a distance.
After a few drinks, several wine lovers were already intoxicated.
Sun Jian blushed and swayed, "Why is this wine so strong today?"
Ma Teng nodded: "Yes, I feel dizzy and dizzy too, what's going on?"
Liu Bei only drank one cup, but he still felt dizzy. He immediately perked up and shouted to Ye Feng, "Not good, leader!"
"There's medicine in the wine!"
"What? You have medicine?"
Ma Teng and Sun Jian threw down the wine glasses in their hands, but before they could open their mouths, they fell to one side.
Ye Feng also shook his body and looked at Yuan Shao: "Yuan Shao, you want..."
Before he could finish his words, his body had already fallen to the ground. Ye Feng hurriedly used his internal energy, and in an instant, the entire tent was filled with powerful energy.
Cao Cao was wary of Yuan Shao, so he didn't even take a sip after entering. However, he didn't know what Ye Feng had planned for tonight. According to Xun Yu's suggestion, it would be best to sit back and watch the fight. After a brief silence, he pretended to faint and shouted in a cold voice, "Yuan Shao, what are you going to do!"
But Yuan Shao also shook his head at this time: "I don't know either!"
"What's the matter?"
"Hahaha!!"
A hearty laugh suddenly rang out, and Kong Rong, who was sitting in the corner, stood up from the desk and said, "Ye Feng, today is the day you die!"
"Do you really think we are willing to obey your orders?"
"You have destroyed the noble families of the world and killed innocent people. For this crime alone, you must die!"
Ye Feng's eyes revealed a cold murderous intent: "You are a useless scholar, do you think you can control hundreds of thousands of coalition forces?"
"Even if the army was handed over to you, how could you defeat Dong Zhuo?"
"This great Han dynasty will perish in your hands."
Kong Rong raised his lips and said, "That's not necessarily true."
"If you die, your generals and elite soldiers will not be buried with you."
"These are all people who receive salaries from the Han Dynasty. How could they not serve the court?"
"Besides, we are not the only ones who are dissatisfied with you."
"General Yuan, you."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shu, who had been waiting outside, walked into the tent quickly: "Ye Feng, you didn't expect that, did you?"
"When you beat me with a stick yesterday, did you think that my life would depend on my thoughts today?"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
