Chapter Eighty-Four: The First Warrior of the State!
During the day, a big battle, the news of the victory of the coalition army quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, the courtiers who had been waiting for it finally breathed a sigh of relief, and celebrated each other, and the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed most of them, and some anxious people immediately sent messengers to the coalition camp, bringing a large amount of wine and meat to reward the three armies, such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, in their opinion, the general trend has been decided, and in the future, this Luoyang City will be the world of their warrior clan gate lord and the military group of the state.
Of course, there are also some wise and far-sighted people who are not in a hurry to express their position, the victory or defeat of a battle does not mean anything, there is only a thin line between strength and weakness, up and down, victory and defeat; There is often an abrupt reversal between the two, and there are endless stories like this in history! So after all, it is not known who will have the last laugh!
At night, in the camp of the coalition army outside Luoyang City, the victorious soldiers were holding a celebration banquet, the whole fat sheep was set up on the blazing bonfire, the large pieces of fat pork were boiled in the iron pot, the wine in a jar was piled up as high as a hill, and the camp was full of laughter, as the victors they were entitled to enjoy all this.
When the wine was drunk, Ding Yuan, who was sitting on the high platform, suddenly got up and signaled everyone to be quiet, everyone knew that the climax of the celebration banquet was coming, and the Han Dynasty had always attached great importance to military merits, 'Thousands of miles into the army are only for money!' The reason why everyone fought bloody battles on the battlefield was nothing more than four words: "Reward for meritorious deeds!" ”
"All the soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield today, eliminating thieves for the country, and they are all loyal and brave men of the Han Dynasty!" Ding Yuan on the high platform has drunk at this time with slightly red cheeks, holding a wine bowl in his hand, his face is full of proud pride, today's battle, killed Xiliang soldiers with heavy casualties, and it is difficult to compete with himself, this move is not only for the country in addition to thieves, but also for him to open a door to wealth and wealth, Ding Yuan's loyalty to the Han family is true, but loyalty does not mean that there is no ambition to climb up, high-ranking officials and Houlu who do not love; Now that the Han family is declining, it should be the time for loyal ministers like him to show their skills and help the crisis and overcome difficulties, of course, if there is a chance to take charge of the dynasty and rank as the third duke, he Ding Yuan is definitely the best!
"This first bowl of wine is dedicated to those brave men who sacrificed their lives for the country on the battlefield!" The Chinese have always paid attention to the importance of human death, so even if you are rewarding meritorious deeds, you must start with the dead, and everyone has no objection to this, Ding Yuan gently spilled the wine in the bowl on the ground, and his face became solemn.
"No! ......" Thousands of soldiers in the audience also poured the wine in their hands on the ground at the same time, to pay tribute to the dead comrades-in-arms, their faces were full of sadness, some of the younger soldiers even cried lowly, the brothers who were still laughing together yesterday, after today's battle, they became bloody corpses, and even many of them were even mutilated, how can we not be sad and angry, not to mention that those who died today is their own tomorrow, and there are a few soldiers who eat food, and a few have a good end, Even if you are lucky enough not to die on the battlefield, when you are old, you can't fight, you end up with old and sick endings, and finally you don't know if you die in that remote corner, it's hard to say whether someone will collect your body at that time, this is the fate of being a soldier, and it has been like this for thousands of years!
"This second bowl of wine is a tribute to the soldiers present, the Han army is mighty!" Ding Yuan held the wine bowl high and began to toast to the soldiers under his command, "Love the soldiers like sons, and soldiers will respect the generals like fathers!" Only an army with one heart and one mind can be invincible on the battlefield.
"Your Excellency is mighty! Mighty! The same loud cheers of all the soldiers in the audience, this is the proper etiquette in the army, and the size of the voice is directly proportional to the degree of love of the generals in command.
"Come, the three armies are victorious!"
"It's done! ……”
"Good! Good! Ding Yuan, who did not have a high amount of wine, was already messy at this time, but he still raised the third bowl, a huge sea bowl, which was full of spirits, and the lowly soldiers suddenly looked at it, the climax of the celebration banquet came, according to the rules of the army, this third bowl of wine is dedicated to the greatest and most powerful warriors on the battlefield today, this is a peerless glory, as a member of the army, who doesn't want it!
Some of the warriors who have won the enemy's head on the battlefield today have rushed forward, although they know that they are unlikely to win the award, but this does not prevent them from wanting to get close to the opportunity to appreciate the first warrior in the army, who can win the crown, think about who will break through the enemy formation on the battlefield today, and reach the Qiankun, everyone has already counted in their hearts.
"Everyone said, who should this third bowl of wine be given? Who is the number one warrior in my state army? Seeing thousands of warriors staring at the wine bowl in their hands, Ding Yuan enjoyed this feeling very much, but he did not directly announce the candidates, but let everyone choose fairly; And as the history of the state assassin, he does have the right to say the title of 'the first warrior of the state'.
"Wow! O First Warrior! "As a soldier, who doesn't want to be the first, what an honor it should be; Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on those generals who were sitting on both sides of the high platform to drink and feast, today's number one warrior will inevitably appear on these people, more precisely, there are only two candidates, one is Lu Bu wearing a white 'Hundred Flowers Robe', and the other is Xiao Yi wearing a black 'Pattern Cold Iron Armor'!
Choose one of the two, who is the first warrior in the state!
The cold light flashed, and Lu Bu, who was sitting upright drinking, immediately set his eyes on Xiao Yi like an arrow, all these years of fighting on the battlefield, the third bowl of wine at the celebration banquet has always been his, and no one can snatch it away, but now he feels a great threat, so his eyes looking at Xiao Yi are full of hostility!
The eyes that devoured everything like a black hole glared back, Xiao Yi did not show weakness, if he still had a good impression of Lu Bu before, then what was left now was contempt, a person who was so narrow-minded and ruined national affairs for personal gain, no matter how strong his martial arts were, even if he was the number one warrior in the world, he would not be respected by Xiao Yi, 'three family slaves'!
Xiao Yi even secretly considered in his heart, whether to find an opportunity to secretly kill Lu Bu, saving this guy from endangering the world in the future, if Lu Bu hadn't shot an arrow in the air today, Xiao Yi would have shot Dong Zhuo to death, and it would have saved the Han Dynasty a catastrophe; However, looking at Lu Bu's majestic body, as well as the Fang Tian Painting Halberd that never left his body, Xiao Yi felt that this task was very arduous, and he had to plan carefully!
"General Fei is invincible! Be the No. 1 warrior in the state! "It is the nature of the pro-soldier to protect the master, and immediately the soldiers of the state shouted loudly for Lu Bu, and for a while, the shouts of 'General Fei' came and went!
Looking at this scene, Lu Bu's tense face finally flashed a trace of pride, leading the troops to fight all the year round, with his personal bravery, he still established a high prestige in the army, the soldiers were very afraid of him, and there were also a group of subordinates who were willing to sacrifice their lives for him!
"Xiao Lang Warrior! Xiao Lang Warrior! It's a pity that Lu Bu hasn't been proud for long, and a uniform slogan sounded in the audience, it was three thousand Xuanjia iron horsemen shouting and cheering for their commander, compared to his prestige in the army, Xiao Yi was not a little higher than Lu Bu.
The soldiers and horses of Bingzhou were more afraid of Lu Bu, while the Xuanjia army had a deep love for Xiao Yi in addition to fear, which he and the soldiers shared weal and woe in exchange, and no one could replace it!
"General Fly! Flying General! ……”
"Xiao Lang! Xiao Lang! Xiao Lang! ……”
The shouts on both sides immediately competed, and the soldiers were all heroes who licked blood with knives, and they were not afraid of death, but they were still afraid of being louder than their voices? Immediately, they all shouted hard for their respective leaders.
Although the two armies are shouting each other, if you listen carefully, you will hear the difference, the Xuanjia army is naturally shouting for Xiao Yi, and the soldiers of the Bingzhou Department are not all supporting Lu Bu, although Lu Bu is brave, but his temper is also very tyrannical, he does not treat his subordinate soldiers very well, and there are often things that flog the soldiers, so the popularity has always been very poor, and the soldiers are afraid of him more than respect him.
In addition, the form of today's battle formation can be seen clearly by anyone with a discerning eye, Lu Bu forced his way into the formation with bravery, and as a result, he brought everyone into the encirclement network, and the soldiers who were killed and wounded were heavy, if it weren't for Xiao Yi's skillful flank attack on the enemy formation, and finally rescued everyone, I am afraid that today's Bingzhou soldiers will be killed and injured even more heavily, and it is not impossible for the whole army to be annihilated; Therefore, Xiao Yi is not only the first hero to defeat Dong Zhuo, but also everyone's life-saving benefactor!
Soldiers value righteousness and have a heart of gratitude; Therefore, many soldiers from Bingzhou chose to remain silent in this shouting competition, and some who had a grudge against Lu Bu even secretly shouted for Xiao Yi, so, 'Xiao Lang! The shouts of 'soon overshadowed the 'Flying General'!
"Good!" Holding the third bowl of wine, Ding Yuan on the high platform looked at Lu Butie's handsome face, and then looked at Xiao Yi's indifferent little black face, and already had a plan in his heart, only to see him take a few steps forward, look at everyone's anxious eyes, smile slightly, and then announced loudly: "The first warrior in Bingzhou---- Xiao Yi!" ”
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Xiao Lang is mighty! And the first warrior of the state! ......" The audience suddenly remembered the tsunami-like shouts and cheered for the birth of the 'No. 1 Warrior of the State'!
