C492 A bet on drinking

As the group of people secretly sneered in glee, Gongsun Ztian led the high ranking officers into the tent.

After they took their respective seats, Gongsun Ze Tian ordered his staff to prepare a sand table for the Blood Jade Valley. He then closed his eyes and rested in his seat.

Seeing Grand Marshal Gongsun Zaitian close his eyes and not say a word, no one showed any doubts in their hearts. At the same time, no one expressed it as they continued to drink and drink their tea.

Perhaps it was because he had been out for a few days and was used to drinking and drinking, but he had forgotten about his bet with Gongsun Zaitian. What was he still thinking about? He had a look of enjoyment on his face.

Situ Qingyun did not know what his nephew was planning to do, but seeing his nephew's confident look, he did not pay any attention to him, and closed his eyes to rest.

He didn't know why, but he had an inexplicable trust in his nephew. Moreover, he had personally witnessed his nephew's wondrous strategy and tactics, which made him even more convinced.

Of course, Situ Qingyun didn't forget to remind him with a light cough and look in his eyes. It was just that Lei Sheng was currently immersed in the blissfulness of the wine, so how could he possibly have time to bother with Situ Qingyun's hints and reminders.

After many days of teamwork, the staff had begun to show signs of competence and tacit understanding. This was a good start. Under the command of Feng Ruiyi and Qi Ningshan, the topography of the land within a few dozen kilometers of the Blood Jade Valley was quickly laid out.

"Reporting to the marshal, the sand table has been set up!" Feng Ruiyi reported.

"Hm!" "Inform all staff officers of the General Staff to gather at the main tent immediately!" Gongsun Ze Tian opened his eyes and stared at the sand table, at the same time, he spoke out his instructions to Feng Ruiyi.

"Yes, Marshal!" Feng Ruiyi bowed as he replied, before instructing his subordinates to gather the people from the two departments.

For the upcoming military meeting, Gongsun Zaitian was more concerned about the layout of the strategy and tactics. The generals present were the first enforcers, and they were indispensable.

After all, 'Practice is the only standard to test the truth.' No matter how appropriate the tactical arrangement was in private, it had to be practiced on the battlefield.

After all, the enemy was a living person, and they were not a motionless log. They had their own thoughts, thoughts, and most importantly, any minute movements could have a 'butterfly effect' on the entire military situation. All of these had to be considered in the initial plan, along with solutions.

"General Lei!" Gongsun Ze Tian did not look up. He was still looking at the sand table, but suddenly, he shouted towards Lei Sheng who was drinking hard.

"Marshal, what are your orders?" Lei Sheng suddenly heard Gongsun Ze Tian call out to him, so he quickly put down the jar of wine and asked seriously. He even forgot to wipe the wine droplets on his stubble.

"I remember that we had a bet! Could it be that the great general doesn't remember? " Gongsun Ztian did not look at him, as if he was talking to himself.

"What bet?" Lei Sheng replied in bewilderment, to the point that he did not do it on purpose. Looking at its expression, he seemed to have forgotten all about it.

"The Great General is really forgetful! But does this mean that I won the bet? And General, did you lose the bet? " Gongsun Ze Tian raised his head with a smile, and stared at Lei Sheng as he asked slowly.

After Lei Sheng heard Gongsun Ze Tian's words, he immediately thought about his bet with Gongsun Ze Tian. That bet was made in front of the entire army, although he was tricked by Gongsun Ze Tian, but the bet was real.

However, he had indeed violated the terms of the bet, causing Lei Sheng to feel somewhat troubled. At the same time, he was also at a loss as to how to answer Gongsun Zaitian's question, and felt somewhat helpless, as he really did not know what to say. He could only stammer in silence, "This ?"

"If Great General wants to renege on the debt, then I will have to speak with Great Elder Cui and the Principal first!" Gongsun Zaitian nonchalantly spread out his hands and continued to use his medicine as he spoke.

"This ?" Lei Sheng's expression was somewhat unsightly. After being continuously scolded by Gongsun Zaitian, he nearly choked on his words, and his face flushed red. It was unknown if it was due to embarrassment or anger, or anger due to embarrassment.

Of course, his expression made the other generals snigger. He felt a sense of schadenfreude. But at the same time, everyone couldn't help but admire the Marshal's skills. In this entire world, apart from the Principal, only Marshal Gongsun Zaitian could force Lei Sheng to such an extent. Even His Majesty might not have this kind of ability right now.

"I also feel that with General Lei's character, he would definitely not renege on the bet. I presume that we can fulfill this bet!" Gongsun Zaitian continued to change the topic and unceremoniously continued to dig a pit for Lei Sheng.

"Marshal, I forgot about it because of a moment of confusion. Do you think it's possible for us to compromise?" Lei Sheng hurriedly took two steps forward, and whispered beside Gongsun Zaitian.

"Harmony?" This ? It's not impossible! " Gongsun Ze Tian pretended to be deep in thought. His expression was playful to the point that it seemed like he didn't deny it, and his tone was long and drawling. Finally, under Lei Sheng's earnest gaze, Gongsun Ze Tian answered this time.

"Marshal, you mean you've forgiven me?" Lei Sheng secretly rejoiced in his heart as he asked with an apologetic smile.

"It's not a problem to tell this marshal to give up the bet, but the General Lei has to agree to two things too!" Gongsun Zaitian replied with a smile after nodding his head.

"Marshal, please speak!" As for the other things, he would agree to it first. At most, they would bargain again, but after that, it would be more important to get through this trial first.

"First of all, you can't drink more than one jar a day!" Gongsun Ztian said in a clear voice.

"Marshal, how about five pots?" Lei Sheng had a bitter face as he asked.

"Then, half a pot!" Gongsun Ztian first let out a light sigh, as if he had compromised. His next words almost made Lei Sheng bite off his tongue.

"Don't, Marshal, you were talking about a pot just now!" How did it become half a jar now! " Lei Sheng hurriedly pleaded.

"Does General Lei have any objections to my decision?" Gongsun Ztian gave a faint smile and asked in a seemingly casual manner.

"Then let's have a pot!" Although he was inwardly unhappy, but he could only accept his fate, because at least one pot was better than half a pot.

"Alright, then let's do it this happily!" Gongsun Ze Tian also agreed on it straightforwardly, although he looked happy, but Lei Sheng did not seem happy at all.

"What about the second thing the marshal said?" Lei Sheng asked dispiritedly, hoping that the second thing the Marshal said would not be too tricky.

Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly lowered his voice to the point that only Lei Sheng could hear him. Although the surrounding people also wanted to listen carefully, they really couldn't hear anything.

Gongsun Ztian whispered: "The second thing is to help me settle this Great Elder Cui. I presume that Great General would agree to such a small matter!"

Lei Sheng said in realization, "So the Marshal is waiting for me here? Since that's the case, I can only agree! It's because your official position is higher than mine! "

Just now, outside of the 'Origin' gate, he had stabbed himself with that soft knife of his. He hadn't even thought that he still had the ability to 'make up' the knife. However, he did not expect the silent Marshal to be waiting for him here.

"What do you mean by carrying his own pot and digging his own hole to bury himself in? This marshal is too sinister, too sinister, too ?" Lei Sheng felt that he was lacking in words.

"Alright, since you've agreed to both conditions, then hand over the wine!" Gongsun Ze Tian said as he spread out his hands towards Lei Sheng.

"What?" Didn't you agree to let me drink it? Why did you go back on your words again? " Lei Sheng jumped three feet into the air and shouted as if his tail was stepped on him.

"First of all, the military conference is about to begin. It's not appropriate for the great general to drink at such an occasion. Second!" Gongsun Ztian patiently explained as if he was still calm and relaxed.

"Two what?" Lei Sheng did not object, but he still looked furious. It seemed that he had accepted the explanation, but he was still a little frustrated.

"Is this already the sixth jar of wine for the general?" The general was aware of this, right? Or am I someone who doesn't know how to count? " Gongsun Ztian asked back with a teasing tone.

"Marshal, your intelligence work is quite detailed!" Lei Sheng sneered and said.

"No, that's not so. Just before we parted ways with Elder Cui, I tried to get a better understanding of the situation. I just sent someone to the Military Administration to have a look at him, that's all!" Gongsun Zaitian still explained calmly and patiently.

"The Military Administration and the Field Marshal complained?" Lei Sheng's eyes were staring like lanterns, with a posture as though he was about to eat someone. Most likely, as long as Gongsun Ze Tian dared to nod his head, Lei Sheng would be able to immediately kill the Military Officer and drink his wine.

"They don't have the guts, but I've shown some people how the supplies have been coming in and out these past few days. I brought them along with me some questions about the purchases, and among them are some things related to alcohol!" Gongsun Ztian shook his head as he continued to explain.

"..." Lei Sheng remained silent, not because he was too useless, but because his opponent was too cunning.

"And after I issued the Prohibition of Alcohol, among those who dare to openly drink in the army, other than you, General Lei, who else could it be?" Gongsun Ze Tian glanced at Lei Sheng and then continued to explain.

"Marshal, aren't you too much of a thief?" Lei Sheng said angrily.

"Alright, hurry up and hand over the wine. When all the members are here, the meeting will begin!" Gongsun Ze Tian heard the dense sounds of footsteps outside the tent, so he did not continue to tease Lei Sheng and stopped the topic of jokes.

"Here, take it!" Lei Sheng said as he handed over the wine jar.

"Just this trash of a wine, you think it's a treasure!?" When this battle is over, I'll let you taste the wine that I personally brewed! " Gongsun Ztian shook his head and sighed as he took the jar of wine and sniffed it with his nose.

"You can make wine?" Lei Sheng asked in disbelief.

"You don't believe me?" My third uncle also drank it! You can ask him! " Gongsun Ze Tian pointed at Situ Qingyun and said.

"Which ??" Lei Sheng immediately found it hard to endure and asked.

"It's indeed good wine, Brother Lei definitely has never tasted it before!" Situ Qingyun thoughtfully nodded his head, as if he was recalling something.

"Well, Marshal, it's a deal!" Lei Sheng faced the sky and laughed, taking away his displeasure from before, he said heartily to Gongsun Zaitian.
