Chapter 23: Celebration Wine

Jiang Jue held a celebration banquet in Huoquanguan, and such a hearty victory is naturally worth celebrating. In addition to the 20,000 Qidi Free Army, dozens of Qi people such as Bai Lao were also invited.

Both the army and the farmer like to drink in a big bowl. The people in the army are heroic, and they have to drink a lot of wine and eat meat to have the strength to fight. As for the farmers, they really can't afford so many complicated drinking vessels, and there are not many opportunities to drink alcohol in a year, and more often than not, they drink tea.

Zichou said: "Tea is bitter, and Li Min is also bitter." ”

Meng Lan said: "Tea is bitter, and Li Min is also bitter. ”

Jiang Jue also said: "Tea is bitter, and Li Min is also bitter." ”

The wine was sent by Qi Min, not much, and not enough to drink. Fortunately, two men came with four ox carts, and one ox cart was loaded with four large urns of wine, making a total of ten or six urns. These ten or six urns of wine can be regarded as the solution to Jiang Jue's urgent need, he asked a guy who sent it, and the guy only said that it was a rich merchant in Bayang. Jiang Jue left the two to join the celebration banquet, but the two postponed saying that there was still something to do and refused to stay, so Jiang Jue had to let the two of them bring him a word of thanks.

Jiang Jue picked up the wine bowl, and the first bowl of wine was naturally to be given to Bai Lao.

"Bai Lao, the kid respects your old man a bowl." Jiang Jue picked up the wine bowl and drank it dry, and there was no wine left.

Bai Lao trembled and held the wine bowl and said, "Childe, it is the old man who wants to thank Childe for hundreds of thousands of Qi people." If it weren't for Gongzi's two moves, I'm afraid that my Qimin would have completely become a slave to the country. ”

Qi Min also followed Ying He, they never blamed Jiang Jue, just like Jiang Jue didn't let go of Qi Min.

"This bowl of wine, to everyone. If it weren't for your willingness to help, I'm afraid my 20,000 mouths would have rebelled. Jiang Jue picked up the wine bowl and said to these lovely Qimin.

It was all old and young, women and children, and they all drank some of it, and this bowl of wine was Jiang Jue's respect, and they drank it comfortably.

"Grandpa, I'm going to drink it too." Bai Ge, the grandson of Bai Lao, shouted.

"Okay, drink, men should drink, be swords, and defend the country." Jiang Jue said approvingly.

He suddenly remembered that when he was so old, he happened to leave Liangzhou and go to Yuzhou.

"The third bowl of wine, I salute you. Thank you for your willingness to send us across the river. Jiang Jue said to a dozen fishermen.

If it weren't for the fact that these fishermen were willing to build a bridge in a boat regardless of the danger, how would Jiang Jue wade into the river? I'm afraid that Qi Guanzhuang has also died under the sword of the Chu people.

The fishermen are all orange people, although the orange qi has been united, but the Qi people in Qi still guard their homeland, after all, it is easy to divide the family, but it is difficult to join the family. The fisherman's provocation broke out in the year of the orange qi, and then there were a series of wars such as Qi Zi cutting Qi, Hao Meng burning the fang army, Hao Meng's soldiers coming to Bayang, and Jiang Wangshu breaking the three cities of Qidi. These fishermen and Qidi freemen sit together but are very harmonious, and they are all Ba people in the end.

"The fourth bowl of wine, I salute you, as well as the Bayang military robe," Jiang Jue said to Jingfu with the wine bowl, "I have wronged you, the dignified doctor Bayang, who actually worked under the hands of an idiot of mine." ”

Jingfu hurriedly said: "Childe, don't be wronged. I am Jiang Hou's subordinate, and naturally I am also your subordinate, so I just send it. ”

Of the 1,000 Bayang soldiers, less than 300 remained. The Bayang soldiers are well-trained regular troops, and even some of them are Jiangzhou troops under Jiang Hou, all of which are elite. In the battle with Chu, this thousand Bayang army robe Ze rushed to the front, and the casualties were also the heaviest.

Jiang Jue saw a veteran with gray sideburns, and he threw his hand at him. At such an age, he should be enjoying family fun at home, but he is willing to continue to fight on the battlefield, which is really worthy of respect.

The veteran said: "Zhuang An, the commander of the Jiangzhou Army, has seen the general. ”

Jingfu said: "Son, Zhuang An, the general of the Jiangzhou Army under the command of Jiang Hou back then, had already retired from the army, and he came back the year before last, and now he is a centurion under me." ”

The general nodded and said, "I really wronged you when I was a centurion, continue to be a centurion." ”

Zhuang An half-knelt on the ground and replied loudly: "Zhuang An, the commander of the Qidi Free Army, has seen the general. ”

"The fifth bowl of wine, I respect all of you here, and I respect you for your willingness to fight with me." Jiang Jue picked up the wine bowl and said to the 20,000 Qidi Free Army.

"Childe is willing to fight for Qimin, and Qimin is naturally willing to follow Childe." Someone shouted.

Jiang Jue glanced at these Qidi Free Army, who had only changed into well-fitting clothes and gathered a set of weapons until today, and half of the Qidi Free Army, who had no armor, shed a few beans and tears and dripped into the wine bowl. He threw his neck up and drank the bowl of piping hot wine in one gulp.

The 20,000 Qidi Free Army also drank one after another, the youngest was slightly younger than Jiang Jue, and the oldest was in his early fifties.

There are 500,000 Qidi Free People, and there is no strong man except for the 20,000 Qidi Free Army in front of him. Qi Min, this traumatized and indomitable race struggled and heroically survived in the land of the three cities. 500,000, how sad is it to never find a strong man again? How tragic is it?

"The last bowl of wine, I salute you," Jiang Jue said to a few Sword Pavilion disciples, "Thank you." ”

Zhao Miao killed General Huang of Chu with a sword in Gaopu, and the army's morale was greatly boosted, and he celebrated his achievements with drinking.

Yuchan assassinated Gongsun Xiu, the chief general of the Chu army, in the midst of the ten thousand armies, and celebrated his achievements by drinking.

A stone stabbed Huang Liang, the general of the Chu army, to death from thirty zhang away in Huoquanling, and celebrated his achievements with a drink.

Liu Changan and Shao Ruyi have meritorious service in killing the enemy, and they should also drink to celebrate.

After six bowls of wine, Jiang Jue was a little drunk. He drank well, but he was not an alcoholic, and he rarely drank since he left Nanban, and even he drank in moderation, and he never drank too much. Today, he drank six large bowls like an ox.

Jiang Jue staggered to the side and lay down, pillowing his arms and looking at the stars.

There is a legend in Liangzhou: after death, everyone will turn into a star to protect the people on the earth.

In the nights after the Battle of Jiangcheng, there were too many stars in the sky above the head of Liangzhou Zongguo than usual, so many that the sky could not hang it, and there were so many that the earth could not bear it.

There was the sound of footsteps stepping on the grass in his ears, Jiang Jue guessed that it was Qi Guanzhuang, so he shouted: "Qi Guan, how many people are there when you say so many stars." ”

"I don't know." A beautiful female voice came.

Jiang Jue was halfway awake, and quickly sat up and looked at the comer.

The person who came was naturally Yuchan, she sat next to Jiang Jue and asked, "Why did you choose to stay and help them?" ”

Why? Jiang Jue said: "I can't bear to see them suffer. ”

"Didn't you say that you were going to Lidu to see Mr. Meng and Jiang Hou? The ambitions of the Song and Chu countries have been undoubtedly revealed. Yuchan said.

Jiang Jue looked at Yuchan's eyes, and it was rare that he didn't dodge once, he replied: "Saving the common people in the world is saving, and saving the people of Qidi is also saving." There are no big or small sizes, I care. ”

I care, this is Jiang Jue's answer. He cares about the people in the world, and the people in the world are naturally everyone. He cares about everyone, there is no big or small.

Yuchan stretched out her hand, handed out two bayberry, and said, "Hangover." ”

"Thank you." Jiang Jue took one and put it in his mouth. Sour, and sweet.

The two of them didn't have anything to say, sitting side by side and looking at the stars. Jiang Jue thought of his two relationships, just like this bayberry, sour, and sweet, and the extra taste was bitter.

Jing Qijun, this woman who is a big figure in the temple of Baguo at a young age does not marry Fang Jun or Mustard Seed, but she is willing to go out with her, Jiang Jue was moved. His heart is rough and cold, and his heart is reckless, but his face is as thin as a piece of silk. So Jing Qijun came out of the customs, and he was moved.

Jing Qijun's whereabouts are unknown, and nine times out of ten he is dead. Jiang Jue was remorseful and guilty. If he didn't let her out of the customs, if he didn't let Miao Sheng send her out of the city, how good it would be.

Miao Miao, the gentle and beautiful granddaughter of Miao Sheng, the daughter of Xiong Ranzhi, the king of Chu. Jiang Jue didn't say anything about her feelings, it was more like a kind of obedience to Miao Sheng's entrustment. No matter what Miao Sheng's intentions are, Miao Miao is right, the fault is that he met himself.

Jiang Jue originally planned to go to the Lu family to find out, after all, Shen Bu, a wealthy businessman in Yingdu, sent her to Pakistan. It's a pity that the Lu family has moved away, Wu Qujian is far away in southern Xinjiang, and Jiang Jue can't find any news about Miao Miao.

These two feelings that are too green, such as bayberry in the mouth, are sour and sweet, and the extra taste is bitter.

Jiang Jue was thinking that if he had met Fu Bai earlier and listened to the teachings earlier, he would probably be satisfied with the girl who was shepherding and singing from a distance, just like he was in the Mangyuan, instead of having to chase after him with a dead face.

Both were silent, not uttering a word. Jiang Jue felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he wanted to find something to say.

"Why are you going down?"

"Do you know why I'm going down?"

The two spoke in unison.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

The two still spoke in unison.

Yuchan turned her face away and stopped talking. Jiang Jue said: "Thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?" Yuchan asked in a low voice.

"Thank you for assassinating Gongsun Xiu, the general of the Chu State," Jiang Jue paused and continued, "Also, thank you for coming down the mountain." ”

Bayang Zhinei, Lanpu.

A girl as beautiful as a jar of wine was kneeling in front of a grave.

"Grandpa, he's back again, I heard that he has hit Gaopu."

Four or five guys are still busy making wine, and now the wine brewed by Fengjia Distillery is famous far and wide, and even the people of Bayang are willing to come down to Lanpu to sell wine. The wine is fake, I'm afraid it's more of a restaurant. Who doesn't know that Miss Mi in Lanpu Fengjia Wine Shop is more intoxicating than her family's wine?

Pakistan, Fuling.

Yang Xian, the governor of the southern border of Pakistan, and Wu Quji, the doctor of southern Xinjiang, are leading the army to fight. The state of Chu is menacing this time, and the king of Bailu, the general of the expedition to the west, is even more courageous, and no one in Pakistan is invincible.

"Alas, it would be nice if Jiang Hou was here. Who dared to make a mistake when Jiang Hou was there? Yang Xian said worriedly.

Yang Xian, the young commander of the original Fang Kingdom, rose rapidly in the battle of Jiangcheng, and was appointed as the governor of the southern border. Before Qi Heba, he personally led the army to conquer southern Xinjiang, killed the rebel general Bai Lin in southern Xinjiang, and forced Sima Wu to open the city on behalf of Qi to meet him. On the occasion of the founding of Pakistan, he finally removed the pronouns on the top of his head, and finally walked the remaining half of his feet into the temple of Pakistan.

Only when you live in the temple can you know the weight of responsibility.
