Mi Han

Chapter 197 Lu Yi Seduced the Banquet in the River Valley
The five-day time set by Mi Yang is based on Ding Feng's time to go back and forth.

It takes about two days to go up the river from Shangyong to the west city, and four days to go back and forth.

In addition to the time from Shen Yi's reaction to departure after receiving Mi Yang's letter, five days was just right.

As for whether Shen Yi would come at the appointment after reading his letter, Mi Yang was not sure.

Because brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi occupy the two cities of Shangyong and Xicheng separately, the only way to catch them all at once is by hosting a banquet.

It would be best if Shen Yi could come, but it wouldn't hurt if he couldn't.

With the army in hand, Mi Yang has confidence.

After getting the letter from Mi Yang, he headed towards the west city the next day.

And Lu Yi, who was also ordered by Mi Yang, also returned to Shangyong City the next day.

Because Mi Yang was in the valley outside Shangyong City, Mi Yang did not write to Shen Dan, but asked Lu Yi to pass on his invitation.

After Lu Yi returned to Shangyong City, he immediately went to the prefect's mansion and found Shen Dan who was busy working.

Although Shen Dan regards Hanxing County as his Shen family's independent kingdom, but because of this, he never slacked at all when governing Hanxing County, and was completely busy taking care of his own property.

It's just a pity that, under his management, the apparent population and acres of Hanxing County have become less and less, and they have all fallen into the private households of his Shen family.

After Shen Dan saw Lu Yi coming, a smile appeared on his face.

Lu Yi was born in Nanyang noble family, and Lu Yi's father and son are well-known in all parts of Sichuan. For such a person, everyone naturally has a good impression.

What's more, in the one month since Lu Yi took office as the county magistrate, Lu Yi turned a blind eye to all other government affairs except for the matter of raising food and grass.

It was hard for Shen Dan not to have a good impression of Jun Cheng who was so famous and did not restrain him at all.

After Lu Yi came to Shen Dan, he paid homage to him and said, "Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the Hegu camp five days later, and I want to invite Lord Shen and the Mayor of Xicheng to the camp with all the officials of the county government. to dinner."

After hearing Lu Yi's words, a look of surprise appeared on Shen Dan's face.

This is the first time that Lu Yi has conveyed Mi Yang's meaning to him this month.

Hearing that Mi Yang was going to throw a banquet suddenly for himself, Shen Yi, and all the officials of the county government, Shen Dan couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

Shen Tan and Lü Yi said, "Why did your lord host the banquet?"

The reason why Shen Dan hesitated was not because he was aware of Mi Yang's real intention, but because he was curious about the reason why Mi Yang hosted the banquet.

In today's world, it is common to hold banquets for subordinates or friends, but most of them have a reason.

Because hosting and going to a banquet is considered a formal social activity in the eyes of the people of the world.

So there are very few banquets without reason.

Under Shen Dan's somewhat hesitant inquiry, Lu Ai remained calm, with a natural smile on his face, he said: "Yesterday, Deng Ai, the general under Fujun's command, caught a white tiger when he led his army to hunt."

"That white tiger is white from top to bottom, extremely rare."

"Since ancient times, the white tiger has been hailed as auspicious. If you are lucky enough to capture the general of the white tiger, it means that this general will soon achieve great success."

"Because of this implication, the lord specially set up a banquet to celebrate, and invited Lord Shen and all the officials of the county government to go to the barracks to watch this wonder of the world."

Hearing that Mi Yang had captured a white tiger, Shen Dan also became curious.

In the impression of the people of the world, wild beasts have many patterns and colors all over their bodies, and those beasts with the same color all over their bodies are all auspicious beasts.

For such a rare beast, which is rare in a hundred years, Shen Dan was really moved to appreciate it.

What's more, it is indeed the right thing for Mi Yang to hold a banquet for this reason.

But Shen Dan still had a question in his mind, that is why Mi Yang invited his younger brother Shen Yi to come.

Shen Dan said to Lu Yi, "Yidu is the magistrate of Xicheng County, and he is usually busy with government affairs, so it may not be easy to come. And I am also busy recently, so I may not be able to go."

Shen Dan's words were obviously telling, but actually testing Lu Yi, and Lu Yi heard Shen Dan's temptation.

Facing Shen Dan's temptation, he showed a nonchalant expression on his face and said, "Fujun said that his capture of the white tiger is something worth celebrating.

Because of this, he extended invitations to Shen Jun and Mayor Xicheng.

Fu Jun not only invited Shen Jun and Xicheng Mayor, but even Wang Fangling was also invited. "

"The Fu Jun's move is to celebrate together, and the second is to take this opportunity to thank Shen Jun and Xicheng Mayor. After all, during this period of time, Shen Jun and Xicheng Mayor have helped Fu Jun a lot."

"But if Jun Shen or Mayor Xicheng can't attend the appointment due to busy work, that's fine."

The indifferent look on Lu Yi's face, as well as his words, made Shen Dan's suspicion gradually dissipate.

On the surface, this was originally a normal invitation to a banquet, and Mi Yang never had the intention of forcing Shen Dan and Shen Yi to come.

Just like what Mi Yang said, it's best for Brother Shen Dan to come. If he doesn't come, he will call the door one by one.

Mi Yang's attitude gave Lu Yi the confidence to say this.

Seeing Lu Yi's attitude, Shen Dan's heart gradually settled down.

If Lu Yi expressed anxiety about his temptation or had other abnormalities, then he would definitely not go.

After probing, Shen Dan immediately changed his tone and agreed to Lu Yi: "Five days later, Dan must go to the Hegu camp in person to celebrate the lord's hunting of this strange beast."

After getting Shen Dan's answer, Lu Yi was overjoyed.

But there was not much joy on his face, his complexion was the same as before, it seemed to him that it didn't matter whether Shen Dan went to the banquet or not.

Lu Yi's face fell into Shen Dan's eyes, which made him no longer doubt him.

After receiving Shen Dan's reply, Lu Yi bowed to Shen Dan and left graciously.

After Lu Yi left, Shen Dan asked the servants in the hall to call the staff who were currently working in the prefect's mansion.

Then after they arrived, Shen Dan announced Mi Yang's invitation conveyed by Lu Yi to the public.

After Shen Dan informed everyone of Mi Yang's invitation, most of the people did not show any suspicion on their faces, only a very few people said with doubts:
"Your Majesty suddenly held a banquet, and there seems to be something strange about it."

After these people expressed their doubts, before Shen Dan could speak, others began to refute such remarks.

"What's so strange? Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?"

When this person said this, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone in the hall, even Shen Dan's face.

Because everyone knew that this person was deliberately making fun of the story of Hongmen Banquet.

The Hongmen Banquet tells the story of Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and the reason why the Hongmen Banquet happened is nothing more than a struggle for power.

But now since Mi Yang came to Hanxing County, he only cares about military training every day, let alone government affairs. Since he entered the barracks, he has never stepped into the prefect's mansion in Shangyong City.

Shen Dan and Mi Yang have been treating each other with respect and cooperation in recent days.

With Mi Yang's performance, if Mi Yang suddenly wants to attack Shen Dan because of the power struggle, that is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Besides, although Shen Dan is currently only a county magistrate, he made great contributions to Liu Bei's victory over Hanxing County.

For such a meritorious minister, the King of Hanzhong is still alive, so how could Mi Yang act rashly?

After all, although Shen Dan was removed from the military by Liu Bei and demoted to a county magistrate, Shen Dan's Marquis was not removed by Liu Bei.

He is still the Marquis of Yuanxiang now!

No matter how favored Mi Yang is, he is still a courtier of the King of Hanzhong after all, so how could he rashly attack a lieutenant?
And the person who raised some doubts about Mi Yang's banquet, although he was robbed by his colleagues, he deliberately refuted.

But in the end, after thinking about it, he couldn't find any reason, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart.

It's not that he guessed Mi Yang's intention, he just expressed doubts about Mi Yang's sudden banquet.

This little episode did not change Shen Dan's plan.

The reason why Shen Dan didn't have too much suspicion about Mi Yang's sudden invitation was that Mi Yang's previous performance reassured him.Another point is that, in Shen Dan's perception, Mi Yang's army was not well trained.

Before Mi Yang came, he probably inquired about it, and knew that although the army Mi Yang brought with him this time was [-] people, most of them were soldiers who had just been recruited into the army, and the orders had not been unified at all.

It has been less than two months since Mi Yang arrived in Hanxing County. Under such circumstances, it is unlikely that Mi Yang will fully train the army under his command.

Although Shen Dan spread his eyeliner outside the military camp, Mi Yang set up the camp in the river valley and kept the secrecy very strict.

Therefore, Shen Dan didn't know the training progress of Mi Yang's army. In this case, he could only infer based on his past training speed.

From Shen Dan's point of view, there is nothing to be afraid of when the army has not yet trained well.

With so much support in his heart, Shen Dan, an old fox, took the most important step in his life.

But before going to the appointment, Shen Dan still wrote a letter and sent it to Shen Yi in Xicheng.

The five days passed in a blink of an eye, and when the fifth day came, Mi Yang woke up early at dawn.

Under Guan Yan's service, Mi Yang put on the crown clothes.

Because of the special nature of today's banquet, at Guan Yan's request, Mi Yang put on an inner armor under the outer robe.

After finishing all this, Mi Yang just walked out of the inner tent, and at this time all his confidants in the outer tent had gathered in the big tent.

Just yesterday, Ding Feng had returned from the West City.

And what he brought back was a reply letter from Shen Yi.

In Shen Yi's reply letter, he said in a humble tone that he happened to be sick in the past few days and might not be able to attend the appointment, so please forgive me.

After reading the letter, there was no disappointment on Mi Yang's face, and Mi Yang had already thought about such a situation.

Shen Dan and Shen Yi brothers live in two separate cities. If they want to pass a banquet, the idea of ​​killing Shen's family is very good, but the risk of failure is also very high.

The reason why he waited until the army was well trained before starting to do it was to be ready to flip the table after his wise plan failed.

It's just that although Shen Yi declined Mi Yang's invitation, Shen Dan promised to come to accept the invitation.

This point has already made Mi Yang count as a harvest.

And another harvest is that his first confidant, Wang Hong, finally returned to him.

At the same time, Wang Hong also brought a piece of very important information.

That was when he had finally collected some criminal evidence about the Shen brothers during his time in Hanxing County.

The evidence of this crime has always been on Wang Hong's body, but Mi Yang's army hadn't been trained well before, so Mi Yang didn't call Wang Hong rashly.

Everything is famous, even Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, had to announce Zhou Qun's criminal evidence in public before he was imprisoned, so as to convince people's hearts.

If the local tyrants were hunted and killed at will for no reason, the local tyrants under Liu Bei's rule would have been reversed long ago.

There is a reason why Mi Yang decided to set the time of attack after five days, and it was also waiting for Wang Hong to bring the criminal evidence.

Looking at the confidantes in the tent, Mi Yang turned his gaze to Zhang Yi, looked at him and asked, "Is everything ready?"

Facing Mi Yang's question, Zhang Ni nodded solemnly.

Zhang Yi's nod brought a smile to Mi Yang's face.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

The army in the river valley camp did not conduct training as usual today.

Under the command of their respective generals, they began to garrison at important places in the camp.

As the daylight gradually shifted, the figures of Shen Dan and his party gradually appeared outside the valley.

And it was Lu Yi who was leading the way for Shen Dan and his party.

Under Mi Yang's invitation, Shen Dan brought out most of the officials in the prefect's mansion.

Besides, just in case, Shen Dan brought hundreds of soldiers to follow him.

Under the leadership of Lu Yi, this team of more than a hundred people gradually arrived at the gate of the Hegu Camp.

When he came to the gate, Shen Dan found that Mi Yang was already waiting for him.

And when Shen Dan saw Mi Yang coming out to meet him in person, and he didn't bring many soldiers behind him, Shen Dan felt a little bit guilty when he was moved.

Your Majesty, how much you trust him.

Shen Dan immediately led a group of officials from the county government behind him, and bowed down to Mi Yang.

After Shen Dan and his party finished the salute, Mi Yang helped Shen Dan up with a smile, and ordered Shen Dan's staff to get up.

This scene is just like the day when Mi Yang first came outside Shangyong City.

After helping Shen Dan up, Mi Yang personally took Shen Dan's hand and led him all the way to the camp in the river valley.

Faced with Mi Yang's kindness, Shen Dan couldn't refuse, he could only let himself be led by Mi Yang, and headed towards the camp in the river valley.

As for the hundreds of soldiers brought by Shen Dan, Mi Yang did not stop them from entering.

As he went deeper into the camp in the river valley, Shen Dan's eyes couldn't stop looking around in the camp.

Since January, he has sent many spies outside the camp, but his spies have never been able to find out the scene inside the camp for him.

So today is the first time for Shen Dan to see the interior of this valley camp.

In Shen Dan's sight, the entire camp was built in an orderly manner, and there were many sentry posts at every important position in the camp.

And in those positions, there will be a group of majestic soldiers patrolling past from time to time.

Shen Dan is also a leader of troops, after seeing this scene, he couldn't help secretly praising Mi Yang's reputation as a well-deserved general, he really led the troops well.

Mi Yang dragged Shen Dan all the way to the outside of his main tent. When Mi Yang was about to lead Shen Dan into the main tent, hundreds of soldiers behind him also wanted to follow in, but they were caught by Mi Yang outside the tent. Guards blocked.

This scene was seen by Shen Dan, although he wanted these hundreds of ethnic soldiers to guard him in the tent, it was obviously very rude.

So after thinking about it, he ordered hundreds of ethnic soldiers to wait outside, and he himself only led a few personal guards inside.
