Chapter 37-The Conspiracy Behind the Celebration Banquet
In the governor's office in Ji County.
In the luxurious provincial governor's mansion, the fragrance of wine assaulted the air.
Guo Li and Liu Wei were entertaining Chen Peng, Gongsun Zan, and the others with glowing faces.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who had shown off today, were also present.
"Haha, I didn't expect Dafang's son to be so young and talented. He's already so brave at such a young age, and he even made friends with such a hero. Not bad, not bad at all!”
Guo Xun raised his wine glass to Chen Peng.”
Chen Peng smiled and raised his wine bowl. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also raised their cups.
The victory of Chen Peng and the other two was very inspiring.
Especially Guo Xun and Liu Wei, who had been on tenterhooks the entire time, felt relieved when they saw the valiant general beside Chen Peng.
After today's victory, Guo Xun took the initiative to celebrate with everyone.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were also present.
However, Liu Bei seemed a little lonely.
The reason Liu Bei was able to sit here was because of Gongsun Zan and because he had performed well today.
Otherwise, how could he sit here?
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Guo Xun called over the dancers in the mansion to perform.
Zhang Fei's eyes widened like a bull.
The banquet only ended when the moon hung high in the sky.
Chen Peng, who was pretending to be drunk, returned to the camp with the help of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
In the Provincial Governor's Office, after everyone left, Guo Xun, who was also pretending to be drunk, raised his head.
At this moment, only Guo Xun and Liu Wei were left in the residence.
"Has everyone left?" Guo Xun looked at Liu Wei and asked.
Liu Wei nodded." They all left. Chen Peng drank until he was unconscious. Chen Xin also drank a lot."”
Guo Xun nodded and then asked the servants to cook a bowl of hangover soup.
Guo Xun, who was drinking the hangover soup, seemed to be thinking about something.
"Your Excellency, in my opinion, the Yellow Turban Army outside doesn't seem to be as powerful as we imagined. I'm afraid that for a period of time, even if we can't defeat them, they will probably collapse on their own.”Liu Wei said.
Guo Xun nodded.
Today, he could finally see it clearly.
There were indeed many Yellow Turbans, but most of them were just ordinary people.
He had never seen a battle formation before.
If Chen Peng and his two brothers worked hard today, they would probably be able to kill the enemy leader.
In this way, the Yellow Turban Army would definitely be defeated.
"Even so, we didn't get any credit this time.”" In order to solve the problem of the Yellow Turban, His Majesty has lifted the ban on the party," Guo Xun said with a solemn expression." If the Chen family of Yingchuan enters the court, they will definitely occupy the land of the three dukes."”
"The ones who defeated the Yellow Turban bandits this time were Chen Xin and Chen Peng. As long as this matter is reported to the Imperial Court, what relationship will Youzhou have with you and me?”Guo Xun looked at Liu Wei and said.
Liu Wei panicked.
"What should we do?" Liu Wei asked in a panic.
"Unless Chen Xin and his son don't have any contributions, then we will have a chance!" Guo Xun narrowed his eyes and said.”
"No credit?" Liu Wei was stunned. He did not understand Guo Xun's words."But the defeat of the Yellow Turban bandits was all thanks to the county soldiers organized by Chen Xin. How can we let him not have any credit?”
Guo Xun looked at Liu Wei with a ruthless look in his eyes.
"Of course, the dead won't get any credit.”Guo Xun said with his eyes narrowed.
"Ah?"
Liu Wei was shocked at first, but then he suddenly remembered something.
In the early years, Duan once fought against the Qiang people in Liangzhou and made great contributions. Guo Hong, who was the governor of Liangzhou at that time, once envied Duan's contributions.
The men who detained Duan were in a difficult position, and Duan was finally convicted and imprisoned.
This Liangzhou Provincial Governor Guo Hong was none other than Guo Xun's brother.
The two brothers had the same method, so Liu Wei was not surprised when he thought of this.
Guo Hong and Guo Xun followed the path of eunuchs, while the Chen family of Yingchuan followed the path of clean and pure. Naturally, they were not on good terms.
Now that the Spirit Emperor had lifted the party ban to resist the Yellow Turbans, there was bound to be a contest between the clean and honest officials entering the court and the turbid eunuchs.
It was not surprising that Guo Xun had such thoughts.
"Then what should we do?"
Liu Wei looked at Guo Xun and asked.
Guo Xun narrowed his eyes and said,"Anything can happen on the battlefield. We'll talk about it when we get on the battlefield!"”
Liu Wei gulped and nodded in fear.
On the other side, after pretending to be drunk and being helped back to the camp, Chen Peng returned to his own tent.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Chen Peng into the tent.
"Second brother, why didn't you let me continue chasing after that thief today?”
Zhang Fei asked.
"Third brother, lower your voice. This is not Zhuo County. Be careful that the walls have ears.”Guan Yu said carefully.
Chen Peng nodded and gestured for the two to sit down.
"Big brother, third brother, there is another meaning behind why I didn't let you two chase after Cheng Zhiyuan today. Don't panic, listen to me!”
