With Ning Xin, the god of wine, everyone is honest, it is He Lanxiong, who has heard Ning Xin's name for a long time and wants to compete with her for a while, seeing Gao Yuan's determined appearance, he also retreated halfway, what kind of Gao Yuan is is clear, since he is so confident, he still shouldn't provoke this woman, and besides, where did Xu Yuan and them hear about Ning Xin's amount of alcohol, but it is also a little crazy. In addition, Helan Xiong also has something in his heart, but he is really not very happy, and he didn't see his sister-in-law attending the banquet, thinking that it was because her words this afternoon made her unhappy, and she took this opportunity to block her breath with herself.

This stupid girl still doesn't have any scheming like before, but she doesn't know that she is doing this for her good, for Mingzhi's good, and for the good of the Helan family. Besides, it's not a bad thing to retreat from the rapids.

The scholar he invited was very profound in his research on the history of the Central Plains, and the most impressive sentence for Helanxiong was what the old gentleman said: the most ruthless emperor.

He Lanxiong still remembers the deep conversation that night, which was the eve of the old gentleman's decision to travel away. Under the reflection of the crackling firewood, the fragrance of wine wafted in the haze, the old gentleman raised a glass to himself: "Dong Weng, thank you for taking care of me for more than a year, now I am leaving, when I leave, there is a piece of advice, but it is against the ear, I don't know if Dong Weng is willing to listen?" ”

"Of course, please sir."

"Now Dong Weng Gui is the commander of the Han Group Army, looking at the entire Han military, even if Ye Chonggui is the secretary of the military department. But the influence of the military, I'm afraid it's not as good as Dong Weng, I don't know if what I'm talking about is or isn't? ”

Helan Xiong nodded silently. From the very beginning of the cooperative relationship with Gao Yuan, to the end of the entire Xiongnu to join the Eastern Army, he has been one of the creators of the entire Han army from beginning to end, as for Ye Zhong and other generals, they just joined later, and when it comes to the strong power in the military, it is far inferior to himself.

"If Dong Weng is just in the military, it would be fine. But Dong Weng's identity is very special, hundreds of thousands of Huns only look at you, in their eyes. You are their Xiongnu king, and Dong Weng's sister is the princess, and you let me give birth to scales for the king, so to speak. Throughout the Han Dynasty. There is really no more power with the Dong Weng family. ”

"Dong Weng has stood on the top of his life. Can Dong Weng's heart be satisfied? The old gentleman narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully.

"Of course satisfied!" He Lanxiong replied casually, suddenly reacted, and looked at the old gentleman vigilantly, "What do you mean, sir?" ”

The old gentleman smiled: "It's cold in the heights, Dong Weng has already stood on the top of his life, and there is almost no room for improvement." It can be said that under one person, above ten thousand. And what about after that? ”

Helan Xiong said in a deep voice: "I am loyal to the Han and the king, and the king naturally understands my intentions. ”

Of course, the king must have understood, but not necessarily others thought so. Dong Weng, before you, it was still the Han of the Eastern Army, and the most powerful was the Cao family, Cao Tiancheng controlled the economic lifeline, his son-in-law Sun Xiao held heavy troops, and his son Cao Tianci controlled the entire dark force for the king, but what happened? ”

He Lanxiong was silent, and later, Sun Xiao withdrew from the military, Cao Tiancheng withdrew from politics, and concentrated on being a businessman, leaving only Cao Tianci alone.

"The Cao family has always been the king's subordinates, so the king's treatment of them can be described as a quick knife to cut through the mess, and they will not have any dissatisfaction, but what about you, Dong Weng? Your identity is different from theirs, so even if the king knows Dong Weng's strength on the face and the strength on paper, he is also a rat trap and does not dare to act rashly, so I guess the king is waiting. ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"I'm waiting for Dong Weng to solve this problem yourself!" The old gentleman smiled and said: "This is also the benevolence of the king, in this way, you can protect your brotherhood, and it can be of great benefit to the princess and the little prince." The most ruthless emperor family, if Dong Weng doesn't stand up and wait until the king has to solve this problem by himself, I'm afraid that the love will be exhausted. ”

Suddenly someone slapped him on the shoulder, Helanxiong was startled, Huo Di raised his head, but saw Gao Yuan holding a wine glass, looking at him with a smile on his face: "Helan, what are you thinking, so distracted?" Come, our brother has a drink. ”

He Lanxiong quickly stood up, "I respect the king." ”

"What is the king, today at this banquet, but they are all brothers, have you forgotten that in those years, the two of us sat by the bonfire with a skin, you take a sip, I take a sip?"

Helanxiong grinned, "But your alcohol consumption has always been very poor, every time I take a big sip, you just take a small sip." ”

Gao Yuan laughed, "Today I drink this cup with you. ”

Looking at Gao Yuan's raised wine glass, He Lanxiong smiled and said, "I did it, the king is free." ”

"No, you're different." Gao Yuan raised his glass, "The friendship between the two of us is different, I must do this cup." He craned his neck, drank it all, and said with a smile: "What did you do with the swallow today?" When he came back, he closed the door and didn't come out, so he hid and sulked, and didn't even attend the dinner. ”

"The swallow is pampered by me, and I ask the king to be more tolerant." Helan Xiong also drank it all.

"Let's go see her after eating, you still need to tie the bell to the bell." When the time comes, our two brothers will have another drink. Gao Yuan smiled and patted He Lanxiong on the shoulder, took a wine jug from the table, and walked towards the other table of generals.

"The two of us are different!" He Lanxiong chewed on Gao Yuan's words and sat down slowly.

Seeing Gao Yuan coming over, the generals at that table suddenly stood up.

"Sit down, sit down!" Gao Yuan smiled, pulled a stool casually, sat between them, swept his eyes, and said with a smile: "Basically, they are all old people, but Cui Chengxiu I don't know much yet, what's the matter, look at your wilted head, are you still sad about the defeat of Pengcheng?" ”

looked at each other, but motioned to everyone to bring the cup in front of him, and Gu Li at this table was quick with his hands and feet, and his eyes were good. As soon as Gao Yuan's hand gestured, she stood up and received everyone's cups together. Gao Yuan filled the cups one by one. Guli handed the cups one after another to everyone.

Cui Chengxiu said with a face full of shame: "The defeat of Pengcheng is indeed our fault for the generals. ”

"Of course, there is an unshirkable responsibility for the generals, but it is also unfair to put all the responsibility on your shoulders, and this battle, strictly speaking, is up to me. Everyone in our Han army must take responsibility. Gao Yuan shook his head slowly, "There is nothing to be afraid of losing a battle, what is terrible is the loss of enterprising." I have lost my spiritual head, and I will tell you here that I am very dissatisfied with Zhang Hongyu, not because he lost the battle. Rather, it was because he took responsibility for the war in such a way. Did he think that he would be able to take on this responsibility? Wrong, if he lives well, sums up this defeat well, and is brave after shame, I will be even happier. ”

"Commander, he ......" Cui Chengxiu raised his head, his eyes red.

"Okay, Commander Zhang has gone, and death is greater. I won't say anything more, and I won't lose him in his posthumous glory. But every general of your new army should remember that I am extremely undesirable for such a method, and I hope that Zhang Hongyu will be the first and the last. Gao Yuan raised his glass, "Chengxiu, when I inspected the Military University in Jishi City, what you shouted, I still have it in my ears, and you, too, live up to my expectations, and now you have become a military general, since Zhang Hongyu entrusted the new army to you, then you will bring this army out of a new atmosphere, in the future, there will be still battles, the new army wants to regain its dignity, and there is a chance." ”

"Chengxiu will live up to the king's trust." Cui Chengxiu excitedly picked up the cup and drank it with a tilt of his neck.

"Good!" Gao Yuan smiled and nodded, turned his head to look at Gu Li beside him, "Gu Li, you finally went home, but you can't get home, Dayou won't be angry, right?" Then he turned around and brought him a bottle of wine to quench his resentment. ”

"He won't be angry!" Gu Li smiled, the wound on his face was pulled apart because of this smile, and he looked a little hideous, but the one present was not scarred, but he didn't show a strange appearance because of this, "It's just that the two sons are a little recognized, the older one is better, and the younger one doesn't recognize me at all, I want to hug him and avoid me!" ”

"I'm sorry for you!" Gao Yuan nodded, "This time, I can stay at home for a while longer, and make up for them." If you don't want to lead the army, just tell me. ”

"That's not good, if I really don't do it, the first one to turn my face with me must be Dayou." Gu Li laughed, "When I help Admiral Wang clear all the enemies, I will accompany him for the rest of his life." ”

"It won't take long." Gao Yuan smiled and looked at Agu Huaien on the other side: "Huaien, I heard that your Agu family, this time in Liaodong, you have won a mine, that's a lot of money!" ”

Agu Huaien hurriedly said: "This is the king's mercy, when we defected to the king, the family still had thin assets, the king always said that you can't let the money rot in the cellar, so Huaien thought about doing something for the king, wasn't it those mines that no one dared to buy, they were all watching, Huaien came to take the lead, but I really didn't expect to make so much money." ”

"That's what good intentions are rewarded." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Since you, the mines there have been in short supply, I heard Sun Bang say that even now, his yamen is still full of merchants every day, and he wants to ask him to open a few more mines." Come, for your foresight, let's have a drink, come on, come on, everyone take the cup. ”

Everyone raised their glasses excitedly and drank them all, Gao Yuan just took a sip as usual and stood up, "Everyone is free, but there is one rule, you are not allowed to pour Guli's wine, hahaha!" ”

Returning to the chairman, Ye Jing'er and a few children had already left the table, leaving only Ning Xin to accompany everyone, and under Ning Xin's persuasion, everyone was already drunk one after another. There were only two people in the banquet who were still bright-eyed, one was Ning Xin and the other was He Lanxiong.

"Infantryman, I heard that you married a wife in Yuyang, and when you come back this time, you won't bring it back for me to see, is this okay? There is also Xiao Yanzi, the boss is not small, and he is not in a hurry to find one, are you waiting for me to find one for you! Gao Yuan smiled and sat down.

The infantryman's tongue was knotted, "The one in my family, who can't get on the stage, originally wanted to bring her back, but as soon as she heard that she was going to see the king, her legs were weak, and she was pregnant again, so she didn't bring her back, and she will definitely bring her to meet the king and the princess next time." ”

Yan Haibo stood up, his body was showing, and he filled the wine glass with a wine jug for Gao Yuan, "Qin Chu in the future, why do you want to be at home, wait for me to sweep away all these jumping clowns for the king, marry a room of daughters-in-law, give birth to a lot of boys, and then teach them martial arts, teach them to lead soldiers, and take care of the king's family and courtyard when they grow up." ”

When everyone listened to Yan Haibo's words, they all laughed and praised them repeatedly.

"It seems that I really want to find one for you, you here, if there is a suitable one, you have to pay attention, among our old brothers, you are still beating singles!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said. (To be continued......)
