Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Everyone felt awkward because of Zhang Rang's words, Xia Yuanyun was a little confused, and Jia Xu's expression was a little stiff.

Wei Man had a headache, and it was just a celebration banquet. Unexpectedly, there were so many incidents before the banquet...

The celebration banquet was finally held as scheduled. Wei Man, dressed in heroic armor, walked slowly into the tent of the shogunate with King Chen Liu under the eyes of everyone.

"Greetings to King Chen Liu! Greetings to the Chief Alliance Leader!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and soon all were seated.

Wei Man was in high spirits today, he sat on the upper seat with King Chen Liu, and the rest of the people took their seats from left to right.

Wei Man first invited King Chen Liu to give a speech, and then he himself said a few polite words. The celebration banquet cannot be just for win-win, so there must be good wine and good meat to entertain.

Wei Man raised his wine glass and earcups, toasted everyone, and everyone stood up, raised their earcups together, and toasted Wei Man and King Chenliu again.

After the process, everyone began to drink and eat meat by themselves.

Wei Man has now become the chief ally of the rebel army, and those who stand by him naturally want to curry favor with him, and those who stood by Yuan Shao when they stood in line, now seeing Wei Man gaining power, some of them can't wait to come over to curry favor and change. Vote for Wei Man.

Who is the most attentive here?

Of course it was Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling who had some issues with Wei Man in the past!

Seeing that Wei Yiyi was full of vigor, Zhang Chao hurried over with his earcups in hand. When the person toasting in front left, he went up to meet him, and said with a smile, "General Wei! I'm toasting you!"

Seeing that it was Zhang Chao, Wei Man smiled vaguely and said, "Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Chao said repeatedly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, today General Wei is favored by everyone, and he is nominated as the leader of the Rebel Army. Congratulations, gratification, congratulations!"

Wei Man stopped listening, and laughed again, still unclear about the meaning, when selecting the team, Zhang Chao stood in Yuan Shao's team because he was close to his elder brother Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao.

Wei Man wasn't being narrow-minded, but he remembered the fact that he molested Zhang Rang in Chenliu. I'm afraid he would remember it for the rest of his life!

Wei Man smiled and said, "Really? I, Wei Man, have become the leader of the alliance. What congratulations do I have with Mr. Zhang?"

As soon as Zhang Chao heard it, he knew that he had a grudge against him, so he quickly said: "Prince President, President, you must not say that, in fact... the younger brother really wanted to elect the general as the leader, but the situation at the time You know, leader, that although my younger brother is named Guangling Prefect, this official title is not worthy of the name."

Indeed, although Zhang Chao is the prefect of Guangling, his army strength is very weak, far less than [-]. In fact, he is attached to Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.

And Zhang Miao got close to Yuan Shao, so in this way, Zhang Chao also needed to get close to Yuan Shao, otherwise he would not be able to gain a foothold in the wild jujube land.

Don't look at Zhang Chao's lust, but the situation still needs to be seen clearly. In addition to being able to march and fight, the leaders of these soldiers also need a pair of discerning eyes to observe the situation. Otherwise, when their heads are slaughtered, it is not just a matter of one person , but a battalion of soldiers.

Zhang Chao did have his own helplessness, but speaking of it now, it seemed a little brazen.

But if it is not so shameless, it will be hard to talk about it now that there will be more rifts in the future.

Because of this, Zhang Chao was cheeky, bit the bullet, smiled very respectfully, and said: "At that time, the situation forced me, and my younger brother was very helpless. Fortunately, the leader's event was not ruined, and my younger brother felt a little more at ease. If the lord is useful to the little brother, he will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate!"

Wei Man gave a dry laugh and said, "Really?"

Zhang Chao immediately responded, "Yes! How dare my little brother lie to the leader?"

Wei Man nodded and waved to Zhang Chao, motioning for him to come over.

Zhang Chao hurriedly listened to him, and heard Wei Man chuckle in his ear in a very low voice, but there was no smile in his tone, and said: "From now on, stay away from Zhang Rang, that is My people, can you hear me clearly?"

As soon as Zhang Chao heard it, his brain became hot and his scalp tingled with anger, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, so Zhang Chao didn't dare to say no.

So Nuonuo replied: "Yes, yes, what the leader said, my younger brother heard clearly and clearly."

Wei Man sneered and said, "That's right, since Mr. Zhang is so sincere, then the leader of the alliance will be disrespectful to this drink?"

As he spoke, he straightened his head and drank it all. After a while of booze, he immediately threw the wine glass and earcup on the ground with a "pop!!"

Zhang Chao didn't dare to stay, so he turned around and left quickly. Although he felt very dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it, so he had to go to Zang Hong to vent his anger.

Wei Man "humiliated" Zhang Chao a bit, and felt very refreshed.

Yuan Shu, the rear general, saw that Zhang Chao was trying to curry favor with Wei Man, and he felt a little anxious in his heart.

Yan Xiang, the counselor beside him, also said: "Your Majesty, you might as well invite yourself to be punished. Now that Mr. Yuan is gone, it's hard to turn back. My Lord is on the wrong side. I'm afraid it will cause suspicion between the leader and King Chen Liu. It's better to make a plan early."

Yan Xiang is the chief secretary next to Yuan Shu, and he has always been a little tricky. Hearing what he said, Yuan Shu's heart was ready to move, and he said: "What kind of eldest son is Yuan Shao? He is just a bastard with an unclear identity. Now I am like this." To help him, I just want him to be the leader, so that I can repay me, but what did Yuan Shao do? I am in a dilemma, I am not a human being inside and outside!"

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were brothers. Yuan Shao was the eldest son, who was a concubine. He was adopted by his second uncle in his early years. Yuan Shu was the second son, but he was a descendant.

There is another argument that Yuan Shao was adopted because he was the illegitimate son of his second uncle and his younger siblings. Therefore, Yuan Shao was turned a blind eye and was adopted by his second uncle. Bo.

No matter what, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is actually not close. After all, Yuan Shao is a concubine, but he is highly respected, while Yuan Shu, as his son, does not have the prestige and reputation of his elder brother. As quietly formed, and deeply rooted.

Now that Yuan Shao has not become the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shu naturally has no value in using him, so why not get close to Wei Man instead.

Wei Man is now the general of chariots and cavalry, and he himself is the rear general. He is close to someone who matches his status, so that he will not sound rude.

Yuan Shu listened to the chief secretary's advice, walked over with his earcup in hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Leader! Chief leader!"

Yuan Shu came over to toast, Wei Man couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and greeted him with a good face. After all, he still has to win over people and give orders.

So Wei Man smiled and said, "Brother Yuan Shu! Come on, I should be toasting you, how can you ask Brother Yuan Shu to come here by himself? It's really rude!"

Yuan Shu came to curry favor with Wei Man, toasted Wei Man with a glass of wine, and immediately praised King Chen Liu, saying: "King Chen Liu is so righteous at such a young age, he is a role model for us! From now on, the humble general will be loyal. Following King Chen Liu, I have a solid foundation in my heart!"

After Yuan Shu flattered Wei Man and King Chen Liu, he naturally didn't forget the celebrity around Wei Man, the father of King Chen Liu——Zhang Rang!

Yuan Shu smiled again and said to Zhang Rang: "Lie Hou has been loyal and endured humiliation for many years. Rescuing King Chen Liu from Dong thief's men is really an act of kindness and righteousness. I am ashamed, ashamed!"

Yuan Shu was very good at talking after a series of flattery, and the atmosphere of the crowd was not so stiff.

Wei Man and Yuan Shu drank three glasses to each other, and said very politely: "In the future, we will have to thank the general of the future for help!"

Yuan Shu laughed and said, "What's the point? General Wei is the general leader of our rebel army. He deserves it. The general only needs to give orders, and I will follow orders. Why don't you talk about supporting or not?" Don't say it again! If you say it again, I will feel that the leader is looking down on the humble generals!"

Wei Man laughed "haha", let alone, even though he knew that Yuan Shu was flattering, but these words are really useful, very good for drinking!

Many people nearby also heard their conversation, and when they saw Yuan Shu also came to curry favor with Wei Man, they hurriedly followed suit and swarmed over.

After Yuan Shu talked to Wei Man, he should have left, but he saw Zhang Rang again. He knew that Zhang Rang was a very important person in Wei Man's heart, and he did not know what magic method was used to make the little bun King Chenliu believe in him. , and respect him as a father.

Yuan Shu beckoned to Yan Xiang and said a few words, Yan Xiang quickly took a brocade box and Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu came to Zhang Rang with the brocade box in his hand, and said with a smile, "Liehou, I'm being polite here."

Seeing Yuan Shu approaching, Zhang Rang just cupped his hands indifferently and said, "The latter general."

Yuan Shu smiled attentively, presented the brocade box with both hands, and said: "This is a tribute from the court, and it is very wonderful for Liehou. I searched all over the world, and finally found one. Please accept it with a smile."

Yuan Shu gave the box to Zhang Rang, flattered him a few more words, then turned and left.

Wei Man was toasted, and seeing Yuan Shu looking for Zhang Rang to talk alone, he felt uneasy, so he walked over, but when he walked over, Yuan Shu had already left, without delay or entanglement.

Wei Man then said, "What rare gift did Yuan Shu send you?"

Zhang Rang didn't know, so he opened the brocade box with a "click", and it turned out to be a water pill, which was larger than ordinary pills, as big as half a palm.

Wei Man frowned and said, "What object?"

Zhang Rang picked up the huge water pill, sniffed it lightly, and instantly understood Yuan Shu's ambiguous words.

It is said that there is a "good point" for Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang closed the box very coldly, handed it to Wei Man, and said: "This water pill has no fundamental medicinal effect on Rang, but it is indeed rare, and the medicine is carefully prescribed, so it is rare. My lord might give it a try."

The more Wei Man listened to it, the more strange it became. Zhang Rang was so sure, so this water pill, isn't it a panacea?

But this head is bigger, as if it was for cattle.

Wei Mannahan said: "Is it suitable for the effect?"

Zhang Rang looked calm, and said lightly: "Consolidate the foundation and strengthen the yang."

"So... strong..."

When Wei Man heard this, he felt a stomach ache from anger, which must be due to drinking too much alcohol, so he lowered his voice, fearing to attract the attention of others.

"Viciously" said: "I have told you many times, I don't need to strengthen my yang at all."

Wei Man said that's all, deliberately breathed hot air into Zhang Rang's ear, and watched with great satisfaction that the roots of Zhang Rang's ears slowly turned bright red due to sensitivity.

With a hoarse voice, Wei Man said frivolously and ambiguously: "If you don't believe me, tonight...you will know after a try, how about it?"
