From ancient times to the present day, drinking alcohol has not been a simple thing, and has been given a variety of meanings.

Some drinking is a hidden murder, such as the Hongmen Banquet;

Some drinks are a reward for soldiers, such as a celebration banquet;

Some drinks are a good marriage, such as a wedding reception;

Of course, the vast majority of drinking is for connection, such as a few people sitting together when they are idle

Of course, today's banquet is a simple celebration banquet, and people tend to be very relaxed when they participate in this kind of banquet.

After saying that, the banquet officially began, and Yingqi picked up the wine bottle and said, "Everyone, I propose to make a bottle for our victory in the Great War." ”

"Okay" everyone got up together and drank the first bottle of wine together.

After drinking the first bottle of wine, Yingqi said to Zhao Zhou, "Lord Zhao, this second bottle is proposed by you." ”

"Okay." Zhao Zhou picked up the wine bottle and said to everyone, "Since the adults have said it, then I will mention the second bottle of wine, and wish you and your families a happy New Year and everything goes well in advance." So they drank the second bottle together.

Yingqi turned to Yingkai and said, "Yingkai, I look at the third bottle of wine, and you will propose it." ”

Yingkai nodded, picked up the wine bottle and looked around and said, "Everyone, while we are celebrating our victory here today, I have a question for you, that is, after this battle, where should we Qin people go?" That is, what do we do next? ”

This kid, everyone finally got together to drink, what do you mean by that?

What should the Qin people do after the war?

How do I know what to do?

Yingkai's question made the leaders of the Qin people present confused, what else can we do after the war? What was done in the past, what will continue to be done in the future.

Is it possible to have to fight again? You must know that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the military is determined, the people are at peace, and the battle cannot be fought again no matter what.

Looking at the leaders of the Qin people with blank faces, Ying Kai smiled, "You haven't thought about it, have you?" ”

Yinghai was straight-hearted, and said directly, "What is there to think about, what to do before, and what to continue to do in the future." As long as we can defeat Feng Rong, I think for a long time in the future, they will not dare to attack our Qin people, then we can herd well, dabble well, and live well with women and children. Other than that, I can't think of anything else we can do. ”

Yinghai's words represented the thoughts of most of the Qin leaders, so the others followed and coaxed, "Yes, the fourth prince is right, after defeating Feng Rong, we will spend time with our wives and children at home." As for the future, we can expand the pastures and drive our cattle and sheep to Longshan to graze, and then see if they dare to drive us away again. ”

"Yes, we just want to drive the horses to Longshan to graze, and we don't believe that he Fengrong dares to drive us."

Hey, that's how you know it!

Ying Kai shook his head slightly, "I know everyone's thoughts, but everyone's thoughts are a little too narrow. In addition to driving the cattle, sheep and horses to Longshan to graze, don't you have more ambitious ideas? ”

Bigger ideas?

Why is this so incomprehensible?

What is a more ambitious idea, the Qin people want to become the vassal state of the Zhou royal family, can it be done?

"Master Sima, don't sell it; Just get straight to the point where there are any more ambitious ideas, and we'll hear them. Zhao Boyu's temperament is not much different from Yinghai, and he said to Yingkai directly.

"Actually, I haven't thought about the more ambitious ideas, but I've been thinking about a problem, that is, we Qin people have lived in the west for a long time, in a wild place far away from the Central Plains, surrounded by Rongdi, it is difficult to develop, and it is not a long-term strategy to go on like this after all." Ying Kai said.

"Yingkai, what you said is also the truth, we Qin people have not thought about developing eastward, but it is too difficult. In order to develop eastward, several generations of ancestors of the Qin people fought bloody battles and finally died in battle. It's hard! With that, Ying Qi shook his head slightly.

It has been said for a long time that the eastward expansion has not been realized.

"Father, my lords, all the previous eastward advances have not been successful, and that is because the Qin people have never won in the struggle against the surrounding Rongdi. This time we are different, I want to take advantage of this victory to plan the future of the Qin people, and strive to make a breakthrough. Ying Kai said.

That is, ah! For many years, all the eastward expansion activities of the Qin people failed mainly because the Qin people had been moving forward in failure.

Since they are all failures, can the surrounding Rong Di take you seriously?

But this time is different, the Qin people have won, they have succeeded, and with this success, the Qin people should have something to do.

"What you said is true, we should indeed take advantage of this victory to think about the future of the Qin people. I think I'll hand over this task to you today, and after today's banquet, everyone should think about it, and if you have any ideas, tell me and Ying Kai directly. But today, everyone drinks and celebrates the victory. Yingqi said.

"Yes, yes, yes, or what the big brother said is right, let's drink well today and celebrate the victory. Then, after going home, think about the future of the Qin people, anyway, I don't want to stay in Inuqiu, a small place full of wilderness. Yingzhao followed.

"It's like, let's have a good drink today, and then we have time to think about the future." Yinghai also said.

"Well, since everybody says so, let's drink first. Come, I will follow my proposal and do a bottle for the future of the Qin people. At Yingkai's suggestion, everyone drank everything in their hands in one gulp.

After the first three bottles of wine were proposed, the atmosphere began to be warm, you respect me, I respect you, and everyone is so lively together.

In addition to Dr. Xitui's mansion, in the Qin military camp tent, everyone was also celebrating the hard-won victory together.

Just when everyone was about to drink, Zhao Boyu came to Yingkai's side, "Master Sima, go to my house tomorrow to drink." ”

Go to your house?

Ying Kai squinted and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" Do you have to invite me to your house for a drink? ”

"I'm going to marry a daughter-in-law, please go and drink the wedding wine." Zhao Boyu said.

Zhao Boyu is going to marry a daughter-in-law?

Yingkai looked at him in surprise, "You're going to marry a daughter-in-law?" Whose daughter is the girl? ”

"Hehe, which family's daughter is there? It was robbed last time I fought in Longshan, and I heard that it was still a girl from the Fengrong aristocratic family. The person looks pretty good, and I'm very satisfied. My father said that after celebrating the victory today, he will give me a happy event tomorrow. Remember, be sure to go to my house for a drink. Zhao Boyuan said again and again.

"Okay, I'll go." Ying Kai readily agreed.

Zhao Boyan is really going to get married, and the marriage partners have been chosen, and Ying Kai can't help but think of himself while being happy for his friends.

At the thought of his marriage, Yingkai's interest in drinking suddenly decreased a lot. After coping with it for a while, Yingkai walked out of the house, and I don't know when, the snow in Longxi fell again, looking at the snowflakes everywhere, and staring for a long time.

It's snowing again, it's so beautiful!
