Chapter 103: Welcome to the Sandwich
Seeing Duan Hongguang stunned in place, Li Ang stepped forward, put one hand on the other party's shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Before, only when the general died could he be qualified to transport the corpse back to the city. And those of us who serve as soldiers are dealt with on the spot. Do you think it's really fair to do this? Now, someone is finally willing to stand up and speak for us, but none of you appreciate it, and you turn around and say that General Hua is making trouble for us? Alas! Lao Duan, Lao Duan, what do you say...... It's really confusing! ”
After a heartfelt emotion, I heard Li Ang continue:
"To tell you the truth, I, Li Ang, am very much in favor of this military order! Although it is a little troublesome, but one day, if it is really my turn, the old man certainly hopes that my relatives will bury me in my homeland, instead of just throwing it on the battlefield to rot and grow mold. That's why I took the initiative to take over the position of corpse transport captain, just hoping to pass on this military order, and it can be regarded as the last shift for our veterans......"
Seeing that he was chattering for a long time, Duan Hongguang still bowed his head and was silent, and there was not much change.
Li Ang only sighed, and simply gave up persuasion:
"Alas! That's it, that's it! If you refuse to borrow it, then I'll find someone else to find a way. I still don't believe it, with such a big barracks, no one thinks the same way as me! With that, Leon prepared to leave the tent.
But as soon as he lifted the curtain, he heard a deep voice behind him:
"Wait a minute! Ahem, for the sake of what you said for a long time, the old man lent it to you. But at most two, I can't get any more. ”
Seeing that the other party was finally moved by what he said, Li Ang immediately turned around and gave Duan Hongguang a big hug with a face full of joy:
"Haha, thank you so much! Don't worry, I won't take more, two is enough! ”
"But before picking up the car...... I have one more condition. Duan Hongguang suddenly added.
"On what terms?"
"If one day, the old man also dies on the battlefield...... Alas! At that time, I will also ask Brother Li to transport my body back to Hongnong and hand it over to my two unfilial sons......"
Just said what he said, whether it was buried or burned, he had no opinion!
But in a blink of an eye, he changed his words and asked himself to send him back to Hongnong.
After hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
But his face was not revealed, and soon he patted his chest and promised:
"Don't worry, as long as I, Li Ang, don't die, I will definitely complete this matter."
……
Two days later, Huaxing returned to Hongnong City with his soldiers.
As soon as I walked outside the East City Gate, I was stunned by the scene in front of me.
At this moment, I saw two columns of people standing neatly under the city gate.
On one side he was wearing military armor, and on the other side he was wearing court clothes, adding up to fifty or sixty people.
If you look closely, most of Huaxing knows it, like Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng...... None of them were absent. All the members who attended the morning meeting are in the column at this moment.
Looking at the formation, it seems that you are making a special trip to welcome yourself!
And at the end of the "passage", there is a tall general who is two meters tall and wears gold armor, which is the big boss of Huaxing - Lu Bu!
Today, in order to welcome Huaxing, who returned triumphantly, not only all the high-ranking officials came, but even the general Lu Bu personally went out of the city.
Seeing such a formation, Huaxing suddenly felt flattered, and his little heart also beat with the bang. Hurriedly jumped off his horse and walked quickly towards the passage.
Everywhere he went, everyone threw their fists at him in congratulations.
Although it is only a few tens of meters away, the scenery is infinite.
Of course, some of the people present were sincere, and some were slightly perfunctory.
It's like Wei Xu and Hou Cheng, when they passed by the two of them, these two guys didn't even raise their heads, but just symbolically arched their hands, even if they completed the task.
Hua Xing would not say much about this, and after a chuckle, he walked quickly towards Lu Bu.
And Tang Sheng and a thousand soldiers who followed behind Huaxing, after experiencing such courtesy, the expressions on their faces were also wonderful.
Excited and excited, happy and happy, after so many years of being a soldier, it is the first time they enjoy such an honor!
Coming to the end of the "passage", Hua Xing was just about to bow down, but was held by Lu Bu:
"Hahaha! Excuse me, excuse me! General Hua really lived up to his reputation. Now quickly follow me into the city, this general has prepared a banquet for you, and this will give you the wind and dust! ”
After saying that, I saw Lu Bu wave his hand, pull Huaxing and walk towards the Shengyue Tower in the south of the city.
……
Twenty minutes later, the second floor of the Moon Tower was full.
Since it was Lu Bu who personally set up the banquet today, ordinary soldiers would definitely not be able to participate, and the lowest official position in the venue was to protect the army.
As for today's seat, Lu Bu must still be sitting in the center of the "rostrum", forming a confrontation with the generals in the audience.
As today's protagonists, Hua Xing and Tang Sheng sat on the left side of Lu Bu, which was where Wang Yun sat during the last "diplomatic banquet".
And Gao Shun and Chen Gong sat on the right side of Lu Bu, which was the seat of Dian Zong and Oza Nugo last time.
After everyone was seated, Lu Bu took the lead in raising a glass and led the generals to officially congratulate and congratulate Huaxing.
As for Lu Bu, how did they learn about Huaxing's victory in advance?
That's because Huaxing had sent people back to Hongnong two days earlier, and he wanted the soldiers to tell Gao Shun that they would bring back 600 more prisoners of war, hoping that General Gao would be ready to receive them in advance.
But as a result, after Gao Shun learned the news of Huaxing's victory, he ran to report to Lu Bu as soon as possible.
When Lu Bu heard this, Huaxing actually took down the bandits of Qiankun Mountain with a thousand soldiers, not to mention how happy he was!
So he immediately issued a military order: when Huaxing returns, all the generals and strategists under the account must go out with him to greet him to congratulate!
After three rounds of drinking, seeing that everyone's mood was high, Lu Bu made a request and ordered the deputy general Tang Sheng to tell everyone about the battle.
Before, Tang Sheng rarely had the opportunity to speak, and he was a little nervous when he first got up.
But as he spoke, he gradually got better. As if telling a story, he told the generals the "story" of the campaign.
Tang Sheng was originally a businessman, and his eloquence was a first-class stick, plus he participated in the whole battle, so he was very detailed when he told it, giving people a sense of immersion.
From the initial "empty city plan", to the later "enemy night attack", and then to the "earthquake plan", Tang Sheng spoke for more than half an hour before he could be considered complete.
Listening to the applause, the applause was like thunder, and every few minutes it would resound on the second floor.
Especially after hearing that Huaxing used a secret method to summon a terrible earthquake on the altar, the expressions of everyone in the venue were exaggerated.
Not only were ordinary soldiers unbelievable, but even Lu Bu, who was sitting in the center of the "rostrum", opened his mouth wide, and his face was full of shock!
