The residence of Dr. Citto.

The celebration banquet of the Qin people was held here, and in the afternoon, the wine had already been warmed, and the yellow mutton had already been stewed and cooked, giving off bursts of fragrance. As soon as they walked into the banquet hall, everyone was attracted by the fragrance that came to their faces, and they couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration, "It's so fragrant!" ”

After everyone arrived, Doctor Yingqi of Xitui, Zhao Zhou of Inuqiu Ling, and all the brothers of the Ying family also came to their places. According to the level of the position, Dr. Yingqi of Xitui has already sat in the middle position, his left is Inuqiu Ling Zhao Zhou, on the right is Inuqiu Sima Yingkang, followed by Yingbushou and others.

After everyone sat down, Dr. Yingqi picked up the wine bottle and looked around and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today I have prepared a little wine to feast on you, one is to comfort all the Qin soldiers who died in the war, and may their spirits in heaven rest in peace; Second, in order to celebrate the victory of our army in the Battle of Longshan, after decades, the Qin people finally achieved such a big victory, I am happy! The third is to celebrate the New Year in advance for everyone, after all, it is already the lunar month, and it will be the New Year in a few days. ”

Speaking of this, everyone present couldn't help but be a little dignified, so Yingqi picked up the wine bottle and said to everyone: "Let's raise the bottle together to comfort the soldiers of the Qin army who died in battle." ”

After that, Ying Qi and the others picked up the wine bottle and bowed upward, and then sprinkled it on the ground in their hands, which was regarded as a consolation to the dead relatives and soldiers.

After everyone sat down, Yingqi picked up the wine bottle again and said, "Everyone, I propose to make a bottle for our victory in the Great War. ”

"Good ---" 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 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 of wine together.

After the second bottle, Ying Qi turned to Ying Kang and said, "Fifth brother, I look at the third bottle of wine, and you will propose it." ”

Ying Kang nodded, picked up the wine bottle and looked around and said, "Everyone, while we are celebrating the victory here today, I would like to ask you to ask you to think about it, after this battle, where should we Qin people go?" That is, the question of what we should do next. ”

What should the Qin people do after the war?

Yingkang's question made the Qin leaders present confused, what else can we do after the war? What was the case in the past, and what will continue to be done in the future, is it possible to continue to fight? You must know that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the military is determined, and the people are at peace.

The battle cannot be fought any longer.

Looking at the leaders of the Qin people with blank faces, Ying Kang couldn't help but smile, "You haven't thought about it, have you?" ”

Yinghai was straightforward 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. I don't think I can think of anything else we need to do. ”

Yinghai's words represented the thoughts of most of the Qin leaders, so the others followed suit: "Yes, the fourth prince is right, after defeating Feng Rong, we really need to take a good rest, and we should really spend more time with our families." If we want to say what else we have to do, I think that the next step is that we can expand the pastures and drive our cattle and sheep to Longshan to graze, but I want to see if they dare to drive us 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."

......

Listening to these people's angry words, Ying Kang shook his head slightly, "I know everyone's thoughts, but this kind of thinking is 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?

Ying Kang said this, how much more ambitious ideas can the Qin people in the Western Weekend Year have?

"Master Sima, don't sell it; Just tell me what bigger ideas you have, just say them and we'll hear them. Zhao Boyu's temperament is not much different from Yinghai, and he said to Yingkang 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 Kang said.

"Fifth brother, what you said is indeed the truth, we Qin people have not thought about developing eastward, but what a difficult thing it is! In order to develop eastward, several generations of ancestors of the Qin people led the Qin people to fight bloody battles and finally died in battle. It's so hard! Yingqi said.

To be honest, it's not that you Yingkang only thought of this problem today, in fact, the ancestors of the Qin people have been thinking about this problem many years ago.

"I also know this, so I want to take the opportunity of this victory to plan the development direction of the Qin people." Ying Kang said firmly, "After all, this victory is a major victory that the Qin people have rarely achieved for many years, and in the case that the surrounding Rong Di are afraid of the Qin people, we need to plan well and strive to make a breakthrough." ”

"What the brother said is very true, we really need to take advantage of this victory and think about the future of the Qin people. I think I'll hand over this task to you today, and after you go back, everyone should think about it, and if you have any ideas, tell me and Yingkang 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, let's think about the future of the Qin people after we go home, 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 great future of the Qin people. ”

At Yingkang'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 here, 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 Yingkang's side: "Master Sima, I invite you to go to my house tomorrow to drink." ”

Go to your house?

Ying Kang squinted his eyes 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?

Ying Kang 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 it? It was robbed last time I fought in Longshan, and I heard that it was still a girl from the Fengrong aristocratic family. But the person is not bad, and I am very satisfied. My father said that after celebrating the victory today, he will give me a happy event tomorrow. So be sure to ask you to come and sit down. ”

"Okay---, I'll go." Yingkang readily agreed.

The night of Inuqiu in winter is very quiet, after drinking, Yingkang walked out of the house, I don't know when, the snowflakes in Longxi came down again, looking at the snowflakes everywhere, contemplating for a long time.

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