Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 263 Wine
Song Xian recalled the current scene and nodded, "Yes, it is true."

Hou Cheng suddenly sneered, "General Song, everyone's horse riding skills are about the same. Why do we have to promote them and not you?"

At this point, Hou Cheng's tone paused, and then he continued without waiting for Song Xian to answer his own words.

"General Song, if you were the one who was promoted, I am afraid that you are the one who is promoted now. Haven't you thought about the reason for this? Is it because your martial arts are poor, or is it because you are not brave enough to fight?"

Hearing this, Song Xian frowned and sighed, "General Hou, this is Marquis Wen's choice. We have no right to decide. We can only follow the order. We have no choice."

Hou Cheng shook his head, "General Song, of course I know that it was Marquis Wen's order, but I just want to know why he gave this order, why didn't he let you be the commander of the cavalry, and make your career a success?"

Song Xian's face was a little ugly, and he shook his head, "General Hou, it's better not to talk about it, there are some things that we say don't count, and it's useless to think too much."

Hou Cheng sneered, "General Song, you actually know the answer, but you don't want to say it."

When Song Xian heard this, he waved his hands hurriedly, "I don't know, I don't know anything."

Hou Cheng said slowly, "General Song, I know that the reason why he didn't let you be the commander of the troops is because from the beginning, he never regarded you as a brother, but only regarded you as a pawn charging into the battle. , do you understand this time?"

Song Xian's face turned pale, he shook his head vigorously, and said with a forced smile, "General Hou, stop talking about it, it's not true, we are all good brothers of Marquis Wen, how can we distinguish each other?"

At this moment, a deep voice came from the other side of the city wall, "What are you talking about, what kind of brothers?"

Hearing this voice, Song Xian hurriedly turned his head to look, "General Wei, so you are already here, hurry up and talk."

Soon, Wei Xu came over from the other side, "What did you say just now, so nervous?"

Song Xian's complexion changed, and he waved his hands hastily, "General Wei, you didn't say anything, we were just joking around with each other!"

Hou Cheng turned his head to look at Wei Xu, and asked with concern, "General Wei, do you still feel pain from being beaten by the military stick?"

Hearing this, Wei Xu's expression changed, and he just snorted, but did not answer Hou Cheng's words.

Hou Cheng chuckled and said in a low voice, "General Wei, if it still hurts, I still have some wine here. I heard it can relieve the pain, but I don't know if you dare to drink it?"

"drink wine?"

Wei Xu was taken aback, and turned his head suddenly to look at Hou Cheng, "Do you still dare to drink?"

Hou Cheng looked at Wei Xu with burning eyes and asked slowly, "General Wei, don't you dare to do it anymore?"

Wei Xu calmed down and pretended not to care, "Of course I dare, but I'm afraid you don't."

"Hahaha!"

Hou Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly shouted, "Come here."

As the voice fell, two soldiers ran over from a distance. When they got close, they found that one of them was holding a food box, and the other was holding two jars of wine.

When Wei Xu saw that Hou Chenglai was real, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and asked in surprise, "General Hou, have you forgotten about the beating and dared to drink, do you want to kill yourself?"

Hou Cheng waved his hands to the two soldiers, "Put the things in, you guys go away."

"As ordered."

The two soldiers hurriedly put the things in their hands into the house, then arched their hands at Hou Cheng, turned around and left quickly.

Hou Cheng waited until the soldiers left, then turned to look at the two men and made a gesture of invitation, "Two generals, please?"

Wei Xu and Song Xian glanced at each other, and they both saw panic in each other's eyes, fearing that the other party would see through their own thoughts, and quickly separated.

Seeing the two standing still, Hou Cheng said slowly, "You two generals, do you think Marquis Wen will come to inspect the post tonight?"

At this point, Hou Cheng's tone paused, and then, without waiting for the two to answer his words, he continued.

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen is already exhausted after repeated battles. After checking the post yesterday, he will definitely go back to rest tonight. Don't you think he is hardened?"

When Song and Xian heard this, they thought it made sense, so they bravely walked into the room.

Hou Cheng looked at the backs of the two with a sneer of disdain.

The three walked into the room and sat down at the table in the middle.

Hou Cheng opened a jar of wine, and a strong aroma of wine immediately wafted through the room.

Both Song Xian and Wei Xu are good drinkers, and when they smelled the strong smell of alcohol, they immediately felt refreshed.

"It's been a long time, General Hou, today's wine is different!"

Hou Cheng nodded proudly, "Even if you two have no vision, to tell you the truth, I spent a lot of money to buy these wines. I originally wanted to save them for the victory, but now I can't help it anymore. So I took it out and shared it with you.”

While talking, Hou Cheng had already picked up the wine jar and started pouring wine for the two of them.

Wei Xu smelled the strong smell of alcohol and felt extremely thirsty. He immediately took a sip from the wine bowl and couldn't help admiring.

"General Hou, you are right. It is indeed a fine wine. It is truly a delicacy in the world."

Song Xian couldn't stand the temptation of wine, so he slowly broke the wine bowl and took a sip. When the wine reached his throat, his eyes immediately brightened and he nodded repeatedly.

"General Hou, it's really good wine, it seems to be worth a lot."

Wei Xu drank a large bowl of wine, put down the glass, and then asked with a smile, "General Hou, why don't you put such a good wine away instead of sharing it with us?"

Hou Cheng turned his head to look at Wei Xu, and asked slowly, "General Wei, do you really want to know the reason?"

Wei Xu looked at Hou Cheng's burning eyes and frowned, "General Hou, it's just a jar of wine, why is it so serious? Is there any great reason for this?"

Hou Cheng nodded, "General Wei, you are right. There is indeed a bad reason, and it is also a reason why I have to drink."

Wei Xu asked with a smile, "What General Hou said is so serious, I really want to hear it. Say it quickly, don't make us all wait in a hurry."

Hou Cheng picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and said with admiration, "It really is good wine. I originally wanted to keep these good wines and enjoy them slowly at home after the war."

Speaking of this, Hou Cheng slowly closed his eyes, and said slowly, "At that time, find a few friends, sit in the gazebo, and enjoy this incomparable fine wine."
