Chapter Twenty-Eight: Triumphant Celebrations
A rain of arrows flew by, shooting towards the spirit army like a black cloud, and the spirit army fell down in response, Li Xiao stopped and looked north, a group of cavalry of the human army shouted and rushed towards the spirit army, the spirit army completely collapsed, threw down the weapon and ran away, screaming while running, and ran straight to the south, but where did it run, the cavalry of the human army rushed into the spirit army, and killed for a while.
General Nan Juan dismounted and shouted at Li Xiao's team, "Which general is Li Xiao?"
The sword in Li Xiao's hand was stuck on the ground, and he clenched his fists and said, "It's Li Xiao below, but is General Nan Juan?"
Nan Juan said: "It's the veteran" said and walked over to Li Xiao, the people's army saw the reinforcements arriving, relaxed their vigilance, and some soldiers sat directly on the ground.
Li Xiao's body was red with blood, he took off his helmet, looked at Nan Juan, and saw that Nan Juan untied his armor, cut a piece of cloth on his battle robe with his sword, held it in both hands and handed it to Li Xiao and said, "General, please wipe your face with this cloth." ”
Li Xiao saw this move and said: "This"
Nan Juan said firmly: "General, please." Li Xiao was helpless, took the robe cloth in Nan Juan's hand, and wiped the blood off his face.
Nan Juan's move affected the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him, only listening to the sound of "click, click, click", the soldiers behind Nan Juan each tore off a strip of cloth on their robes and handed it to Li Xiao's soldiers, this move made Li Xiao and the soldiers behind Li Xiao very happy.
Nan Juan looked at Li Xiao's young face and said: "It can be said that heroes are out of youth, heroes are out of teenagers, please, please General Li and me to triumph, the veteran has arranged a banquet in Chen Youguan to reward all the sergeants." ”
Li Xiao looked at Nan Juan and said, "General, the three battalions of the east, west and south have not been broken yet, so it is better for me to take someone to break his battalion again." Nan Juan laughed and said: "Such a trivial matter, General He Laoli bothered, the veteran has sent 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers are divided into six ways to chase the remnants of the enemy, and enter the customs with me." After speaking, he said to Nan Xianguo beside him: "Wu'er, you lead a group of men and horses to clean up the battlefield, and register the casualties and war profits of both the enemy and us for my seeing." ”
As he spoke, he led another horse and said to Li Xiao, "General, please get on the horse." Li Xiao had never won such an honor, and when he looked back at Broken Soul and King Kong, he saw the two nodding before Li Xiao turned over and got on the horse.
Li Xiao and Nanjuan Erma entered Chen Youguan in parallel, the soldiers in the pass beat gongs and drums, the people welcomed him, Li Xiao held his head high, looked ahead, but his heart was extremely proud and proud, and he thought: "Miss Ying'er is also in Guanzhong, you should welcome me in the crowd at this time, a big hero like me, she must have a love for me." Thinking of this, Li Xiao still had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The horse walked forward, Li Xiao wanted to see if there was a girl Ying'er in the crowd, but it was not easy to look blind, and at this moment he heard Guo Rengui shouting: "Sister Xiaoyao, it's me, Guo Rengui." ”
Li Xiao heard Guo Rengui's shout, so he looked back at him, only to see him holding his beard with one hand, and gesturing to a beautiful woman in the crowd with the other, and said while gesturing: "This time to break the enemy, the idea is mine, the way is what I think, the equipment for breaking the city, all made by me, how about cow or not, wait for me to eat the celebration wine for a while, go to you." After saying that, he raised his pair of cockfighting eyebrows, and as soon as these words came out, the people on the street laughed, and the beautiful woman blushed and turned around and walked into the crowd.
Li Xiao turned his head and glared at Guo Rengui, Guo Rengui raised his eyebrows and nodded, but he was indeed very proud, General Nan Juan smiled slightly, and the team continued to move forward.
"Report to my father, the six-way pursuit of soldiers and horses all returned victorious, the battlefield is still being cleaned, the spoils of war are innumerable, the casualties have been cleared, our army has lost 86,400 people, General Li has lost 16,200 people, a total of 102,600 people have been killed, 335,000 enemies have been annihilated, and the rest of the enemy troops have fled into the four cities of Tianyang, Fanyang, Chenshui, and Loulan. ”
Nan Xianguo reported to Nan Juan, and Nan Juan said: "Bury the soldiers who died in battle, and register their names to inform future generations." In telling the generals, come to the Chinese army's big tent to celebrate. Nan Xian nodded and stepped back.
At the celebration banquet, Nan Juan sat in the main seat, Li Xiao sat in the second seat, He Fengzai, Li Zhengtong, Zhao Junping, Xiang Yingwu, Yin Tiantu, Li Yuelu, Nan Fengguo, and Nan Xianguo sat together, and Guo Rengui, Runfeng and others and other lieutenants sat at the other table, Nan Juan looked at the banquet and said: "General Li, why don't you see your senior brothers?"
Li Xiao said: "My two senior brothers, Brother Ke and Brother Wan, after entering the customs, were worried about Dongning and Shujun, so they took the people of the headquarters to garrison. ”
Nan Juan nodded and said, "Okay, Chunzhen is a sect, worthy of being the state religion, He Fengzai you are also a disciple of Chunzhen, right?"
He Feng hugged his fists again and replied: "General Hui, the last general originally studied art in Chunzhen, and studied under Zheng Yunzhong, and this General Li is the out-and-out uncle of the last general." ”
After hearing this, Nan Juan stroked his beard and smiled: "Oh, General Li's seniority is not low, since the two real people have left the customs, then let's have a banquet." With that, a group of attendants began to serve food and wine.
Nan Juan stood up, picked up the first bowl of wine, and the rest of the people also picked it up, Nan Juan said: "A tribute to the heroic souls of our army who died in battle." With that, he put the wine on the ground, and the rest followed.
Nan Juan picked up the second bowl of wine and said: "Second respect for the creatures killed by our army" After speaking, he spilled the wine on the ground again, and the rest followed.
Nan Juan picked up the third bowl of wine and said: "Sanjing for the people who were devastated by the war" After speaking, he spilled the wine on the ground again, and then calmly sat back on the seat and said: "Open the table"
Li Xiao looked at Nan Juan's serious approach and wanted to laugh a little, and it was natural to peek at the rest of the people, so Li Xiao asked the teacher and nephew next to him, He Fengzai, "What does this mean?"
He Feng replied again: "Uncle Shi, this is the rule in the army, this is called 'sacrificial wine' After a battle, no matter whether you win or lose, you must pay tribute to the people who died for the war." ”
Li Xiao nodded and began to eat.
During the banquet, General Nan Juan ate a few bowls greedily, and was a little drunk, so he began to call Li Xiao brothers, Nan Juan said: "Li Xiao is the head disciple of the Chunzhen Sect, and he is the junior brother of His Majesty today. ”
Li Xiao drank too much and was a little drunk, and after listening to Nan Juan's words, he laughed out loud, and said to Nan Juan: "Brother Nan, no, I see that the two of you are a few years older than me, if you don't dislike it, the four of us will marry Jinlan, you will be the eldest brother, I will be the fourth brother, and the two of them will be my second brother and third brother, how about it?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, some people wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh, Nan Fengguo and Nan Xianguo's faces changed, they knew Nan Juan's temper, Nan Juan snorted and said: "Good idea, righteous marriage Jinlan, but you can't take the two of them, what are the two of them." ”
Nan Fengguo and Nan Xianguo glanced at each other, and the two of them thought to themselves, "Father is usually very strict with everyone, why is he like this to Li Xiao." ”
Li Xiao patted Nan Juan's hand and said: "Big brother, don't be so stingy, take them with you, many friends and many roads, as the saying goes, you rely on your parents at home, and you have to rely on your friends when you go out, aren't you." ”
After Li Xiao finished speaking, no one paid attention to him. Nan Juan slapped the table and said: "Rely on your parents, rely on your friends, these two boys rely on me at home, and you have to rely on me when you go out, where is this good thing." ”
Li Xiao rolled his eyes and looked at Nan Juan, and Nan Juan said: "Brother Li, don't you understand, they are my sons and your nephews." ”
