After the colonel read it, he naturally set up a big banquet to reward the generals. A lot of reward money was sent down, chickens, ducks, fish, pigs and mutton were readily available, and the whole barracks was jubilant.

After Li Anguo struggled from an ordinary military general to become a festival envoy, his fighting spirit was reduced, and his heart was to keep his current position, so that he could pass on the position of the festival envoy to his son, and then to his grandson, preferably from generation to generation.

And the four assassins under Li Anguo, Yizhou Assassin Cao Xin is his descendant and elder brother, Zhaozhou Assassin Li Anmin is his uncle and brother, Shenzhou Assassin Su Bin, Li Anguo's brother-in-law, wife, these people have followed Li Anguo step by step to fight to the position in front of them, and now they are all older, and they have no motivation at all.

Li Anguo, who has no self-motivated heart, is the gospel of the people who have become virtuous, and wants to be long and far, safe and secure, Li Anguo naturally refuses to expropriate and raise the people, which has become an inevitable choice for him. Over the past decade, Chengde's households have grown steadily, and the population has also increased by a full third, basically out of the impact of the last peasant revolt that swept the country. It has become one of the wealthiest areas in the surrounding area.

Not to mention Zhenwu Henghai Lulong, even Hedong, which is governed by Gao Biao, there is no way to compare with the wealth of Chengde, because Gao Biao has always been under pressure from the direction of Lu Long, and has to expand his troops to prepare for war year after year.

And Li Anguo only raised 3,000 armor soldiers. Counting the four local assassins, under the rule of Chengde, the standing army was less than seven or eight thousand. There are fewer soldiers in normal times, and the military expenses are naturally more abundant, so the soldiers of Chengde are equipped with good equipment, and the treatment is also the highest among the surrounding armies. Of course, with these two items, the loyalty of the soldiers, correspondingly, is also quite good.

This time Li Anguo was forced to get involved in the war, Lu Long, Hedong is a behemoth for him, he doesn't want to mess with anyone, but if he has to choose a side, he will naturally choose Hedong, because Hedong represents the imperial court and represents righteousness, and he is still sealed by the imperial court! The envoy from Lu Long's side, although his tongue is lotus, but Li Anguo has been able to get to this point, and he is also an extremely smart person.

Lu Long is indeed strong now, but just one Hedong has restrained a large number of his soldiers and horses, and Hedong plus Zhenwu, Chengde, and Henghai are three knots, and the strength will be steadily better than him, let alone look at the whole country. How many festivals are there in Datang in the country?

The large and small knots add up to nearly forty.

Li Anguo is not optimistic about what Zhang Zhongwu can do at all.

Of course, it's not good to let the imperial court completely destroy Zhang Zhongwu, after all, there is a feeling of cold lips and teeth, and the imperial court has to send soldiers and horses, it is even more difficult to invite God. Isn't it enough to have a high biao? Add another Chen Bangzhao, are you still alive?

Once the big guys worked together to destroy Zhang Zhongwu, the imperial court was determined to appoint Chen Bangzhao as the envoy of the Lu Long Festival, then at that time, a Gao Biao, a Chen Bangzhao, a clamp on both sides, they had no other choice than to honestly go to Chang'an to kowtow to the emperor.

Of course not. He is also counting on passing on the position of the envoy of virtue to his son Li Che!

It is based on these considerations that Li Anguo and Zhenwu Henghai joined forces to come up with a moth, in addition to the tricks on the surface, secretly it is to give a large bribe to the servant Zhongtian Lingzi and Shang Shuling Chenbi, and to prepare to take advantage of Zhang Zhongwu's main force to be contained in Hedong, they will fight first, and after a few victories, the imperial court naturally has no reason to send troops over, and the three of them can also grab some territory from Lu Long, although Li Anguo is not enterprising, but it is naturally good to get a little more territory and pass it on to future generations.

Now Li Anguo is consciously fierce, and his son Li Che is also extremely promising, and he does not have the temperament of the second generation of ordinary officials, and the martial arts are all the best choices.

If you want to pass on the family business, it is natural that there will be a successor, and at this point, he is extremely sober, so he has been extremely strict with his son Li Che's education since he was a child, and Li Che has lived up to expectations, at the age of twenty-five, he has been recognized by Chengde up and down.

Today's school martial arts, Li Che is even more in the limelight, not only showing his personal strength, but also showing his ability to coordinate the army's combat. is the picky Gongsun Changming, on top of this kind of martial arts, he can't find Li Che's fault.

Li Anguo was happy, in the face of the generals' diligent persuasion, the glass came to the wine dry, and before the banquet was over, he was already drunk, retired early, and handed over the work of presiding over the banquet to Li Che.

As soon as Li Anguo left, everyone was even more profligate, and in the hall, the smoke suddenly became angry, and Li Che not only did not think it was angry, but happily joined in, and the generals drank and talked about meat jokes, coaxed the generals to laugh, and they were carried out sideways one by one.

It was Liang Han, who was also confused at the moment, and he just kept the last bit of consciousness and didn't fall down, just sitting dementedly.

There was only one person in the banquet who remained sober, and that was Gongsun Changming.

To be honest, Li Che is indeed very good. If you haven't seen Li Ze, Gongsun Changming will definitely think that Li Che is the leader of the later generation, but the goods have to be thrown away, and people have to die compared to people.

Not to mention anything else, just the understanding of the general trend of the world, Li Che and Li Ze are not on the same level, they are too far apart.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Changming couldn't help but sigh, raised the wine glass in his hand, and took a sip slowly. He is a literati, and he respects Li Anguo for the sake of moderation, and no one dares to harass him during the banquet, anyway, when the scholar reaches the level of Gongsun Changming, these five generals are a little in awe.

Without a clear understanding of the general trend of the world, there will be no precautionary arrangements, and it will fall behind, and the layout of the world, one step behind, is one step behind. Military is just a continuation of politics, after arriving in Zhenzhou, Gongsun Changming and Li Che also had many long talks, but in the end, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

This made Gongsun Changming very puzzled, they were all born by a father, Li Che has been taught by a Master since he was a child, regardless of his martial arts, but Li Ze is a solid self-taught, but how can a self-taught person have such a cognition?

Take a sip of wine, look at Li Che, who warmly entertained his subordinates, and sighed. In his eyes, Li Che is the Li Anguo of twenty years ago, not only does he look like Xiao, but he even speaks and moves, and he is very much like Li Anguo when he was young, on the other hand, Li Ze is much thinner and weaker, like Mrs. Wang.

Or Li Ze's IQ, inheriting more from the Wang family, the Wang family was also a scholarly family in the past, but Li Anguo's wife, the Su family, was born in a local tycoon, and she didn't read much, but she was rich and there were people.

Seeing that the last few guests were also sent out of the door by Li Che, Gongsun Changming drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, stood up, and dragged Liang Han, who was obviously drunk enough, but still sat upright, staring at Liang Han who couldn't move in a certain place.

"Sir, please stay." Li Che, who turned back, said loudly. Li Che, who was staggering just now and looked a little drunk, was walking steadily and his eyes were clear at the moment. Where can you see half a point of drunkenness?

Gongsun Changming was stunned, "I can't imagine that the young general has such a good amount of wine?" You're no less drunk than those people!"

Li Chelang laughed and said: "Sir, it's just a little trick, this is the Jiedu Embassy, I want others to get drunk but not myself, so there is a way, isn't it?"

Gongsun Changming was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Che, and couldn't help but show a flash of ridicule in his eyes.

"I don't think Mr. is happy today, and he hasn't drunk much wine, shall I accompany Mr. to have a few more drinks?" Li Che waved his hand to let the servants clean up the mess on the table, and at the same time serve some fresh wine and food.

"Enough for today, wouldn't it be better to leave an aftertaste?" Gongsun Changming said with a smile.

"Sir, don't shirk, I still have something to ask sir?"

"Another day, it's not early today."

"I'm going to ask about my brother, sir!" Li Che looked at Gongsun Changming with a smile.

Hearing the thunder, Gongsun Changming's pupils shrank suddenly.
