When Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu of the Western Army rode nearly 20,000 feet and 50,000 family members from Guiyang, Guizhou, and passed through Guangxi, Chen Bangyan ordered their families to settle in Pingle, Wuzhou, a generation of wealthy prefectures and counties, and the families of the loyal battalion also moved south to Guilin, Guangxi under the arrangement of the governor of Huguang, blocking Yinxi.

There are examples of the successful pacification of the loyal battalion in the past, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are not worried that the Ming court will take the opportunity to do something to them, it must be inconvenient to bring their family members to the line, and arrange for the nearest cantonment in Guangxi to support themselves, which not only solves the problem of food and housing, but also avoids dragging down the itinerary of the army, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

After settling their families in Guangxi, the old and weak in the army also stayed in Tuntian, Guangxi, and Li and Liu Erbu took the remaining more than 15,000 elites after thousands of tempers, and after seven or eight days of marching, they finally arrived in Zhaoqing, the capital of Xing.

After getting the news of the Western Army's entry into Guangdong, Zhu Youlang was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent Chen Zizhuang, the squire of the military department, and Jiao Lian, the chief and deputy commander of the Lu Division, and Wu Jihei and others went to the outside of the city to welcome the Guishun Yishi.

Seeing this, Li and Liu once again felt the sincerity and attention of the imperial court, and they were quite happy in their hearts, and the rest of the more than 15,000 Western Army did not follow Li and Liu Zhu into the city, but were directly arranged in the pre-set barracks in the west of the city, washing and resting.

After Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Bai Wenxuan followed Chen Zizhuang, Jiao Lian and other guide officials into the city, they were then taken to the palace, and Zhu Youlang planned to personally meet these legendary figures in the late Southern Ming Dynasty in the palace council hall.

Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others, who had taken off their uniforms, stood by the steps outside the hall, and as soon as they heard the emperor's summons, they immediately followed the palace envoy into the palace to meet them.

When they entered the hall, Zhu Youlang carefully looked at the generals.

Standing at the head of the left is Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo is half a head taller than Zhu Youlang, enough to be called a tiger's back and bear's waist, black face, moist and transparent, a pair of sword eyebrows obliquely inserted into the sideburns, big eyes, blazing, straight nose and mouth, a heroic face, wearing a black satin tight jacket and tight pants, a big red silk belt around the waist, covered with a black satin hero, no hat, only with a wooden hairpin pinned to the hair.

Standing at the head of the right is Liu Wenxiu, Liu Wenxiu is not tall, a little shorter than Zhu Youlang, he is also very strong, with a thin waist and arms, a fan-faced figure, the original white jade-like face was eroded by wind and frost and slightly blackened, a pair of soapy and white narrow eyes, square Haikou, red lips, comb on the hair, green silk on the top, wearing a pink arrow suit, a yellow lion belt around the waist, and a pair of fast boots on the feet, giving people the impression that they are tall and handsome with a bit of bookish atmosphere, looking like a person who has read a book.

Behind the two of them, there are also middle and high-level generals of the Western Army, Le Tongwu, Bai Wenxuan, and Feng Shuangli, all of whom are capable and capable, with ape arms and bee waists, and a standard martial figure.

After looking at the generals of the Western Army, Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "You virtuous people are really heroic. From today on, you will be the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, high-ranking officials and lords, I will never be stingy, I hope that you will live up to my expectations and be loyal and responsible for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu did not immediately admit their gratitude, the two exchanged glances, and saw that the other party nodded slightly, then he knelt down in his clothes and bowed to Zhu Youlang and said: "Minister Daming Wu Yibo Li Dingguo (Guiyi Bo Liu Wenxiu), thank you for the grace of our emperor."

Although he saw this subtle scene, Zhu Youlang didn't care about it, he was still the sworn enemy of the Ming Dynasty before, but now he has suddenly become the new upstart Xunzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and it is normal for them to behave like this.

Zhu Youlang didn't feel that he had any royal spirit, the tiger's body was shocked, and others bowed their heads, if they wanted to really subdue Li, Liu Zhuren's heart had to come step by step, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

Liu, Li Erjiang kowtowed, even if he set the gift of the monarch and minister.

When the lanterns were first on, Zhu Youlang held a heavy banquet in the side hall, and personally took the wind and washed the dust for Li and Liu Zhu, in addition to the generals of the original Western Army, the guards were pro-army and water, and the middle and high-level generals of the land division were also invited. The banquet is the best place to get acquainted with the relationship and connect with the feelings.

In the side hall, the emperor Zhu Youlang wore an azure dragon robe, a black gauze wing crown, and a jade belt around his waist, living in the middle of the main hall, and ascending to the throne with a smile.

When everyone arrives, the banquet can officially begin.

Li and Liu were both made earls, and their status was above the leaders of the guards and pro-army who did not have titles, and Zhu Youlang allowed the two to sit on the west of the imperial throne.

The main and deputy commanders of the guards, Jiao Lian, Yu Long, and Wu Jihei, sat in the east of the imperial throne.

The rest of the generals are ranked according to their grades, and there are several cases under the palace, and the chairs sit and feast.

After everyone was seated, the celebrant walked forward until he reached the middle of the main hall, and then said loudly: "Feast!" ”

Then there will be a palace maid in the fish to penetrate and serve wine and food.

The palace has always been frugal recently, but today is different from the past, the royal decency still has to be taken into account, and the food is naturally not too bad.

There are large plates of roast pork, big fat chicken, roast goose and roast duck, roasted mutton, willow steamed fried fish, pig ****, large and small intestines, oily kidneys and other meat dishes, chicken, duck and fish.

And Liu, Li Erjiang and Jiao, and the rest of the people's table is full of all kinds of delicacies, including clear soup fish bones, chicken shredded rolls, shrimp roasted sea cucumbers, slightly wheat, roasted hoof tendons, squid rolls roasted fish maw, braised dried scallops, braised shark fins, steamed fish skin, chicken slices, stewed bird eggs, fried bergamot, stewed three silks, pearl balls, fish fillets, meat fire, rice noodles and so on.

After serving, Zhu Youlang held the cup and said: "At the time of crisis, the 40,000 soldiers of the righteous army returned to my Ming Dynasty and drove the prisoners together, which is really a blessing for the common people, a blessing for the society of the country, and I respect the Qingqing!"

The generals were originally a little noisy, but at this time they were busy reining in their smiles and bowing down.

When the emperor raised his glass and drank it, everyone got up again, returned to their seats, and toasted the emperor together, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively.

The generals also ate heartily.

Zhu Youlang was stained with their light, and it was rare to eat such a delicious meal.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very warm, and when the meal was lively, Yu Long, the commander of the sailors, suddenly proposed unexpectedly: "Today is a big day in the army, it is reasonable not to get drunk and not return, and how about sending a general to come and dance the sword to cheer up the saint and you?"

After hearing the unanimous applause of the generals, Yu Long was about to beckon a military academy proficient in swordsmanship to appear in the sword dance, when suddenly Wu Jihei, who heard the side, stood up from his seat, and he waved his hand and said, "General, slow down!" ”

After glancing at Yu Long, Wu Jisi then proposed: "I have long heard that General Wu Yi Bo Li is a divine shot, peerless, and I hate to see it. General Jiao Lianjiao, who is here today, is also known as an unparalleled archery skill in the army, which makes the Tartars frightened, and the heir dares to suggest to our emperor that he ask the two of them to perform their stunts and shoot at each other to satisfy everyone's eyes. ”

Wu Jihei's proposal is very bold, called Banquet, in fact, it is almost provocative, their psychology Zhu Youlang asked himself is still relatively clear, Liu, Li Erbu just because of the return to the Ming Dynasty won the title of earl, and Wu Jihei, Yu Long and others followed their birth and death several times, and made a lot of meritorious deeds, but it is still difficult to get a glimpse of a title, if it is usual, they are the highest level in the forbidden army, although they do not have a title, but they are also in power, the emperor rewards and punishes fairly, and there will be no ideas.

Now the Western Army Liu, Li Er General with the title of earl into Beijing, the status of all the leaders of the guard army is higher than all the leaders of the guard, Wu Jihei, Yu Long and other generals will definitely be a little difficult to balance, their dissatisfaction has not been hidden from Zhu Youlang's eyes, but Zhu Youlang is not worried, he will not let his descendants chill the heart, in the military reform he is about to start, Jiao, Wu, and Yu will be awarded the lord, and the status will not be below Li and Liu, as the emperor, it is certain to ensure the balance of power in the army.

Wu Jihei's careful thinking Zhu Youlang is not broken, and his suggestion is indeed lively, fresh, and handled well, it is inevitably not a good opportunity to enhance mutual feelings, and it is necessary for the Western Army and the Jingying Forbidden Army to take advantage of this to run in.

When the generals were drunk, listening to Wu Jihe's proposal, their interest was suddenly raised, and Zhu Youlang didn't want to sweep away the interest of the generals, and now the problem depends on the opinions of Li Dingguo and Jiao Lian.

Jiao Lian was recognized as the first marksman in the Beijing Forbidden Army, and many enemy generals were killed in the Wuzhou rescue and defense battles under his arrow, and in Guangzhou's Li Chengdong army, Jiao Lian's reputation was already very loud. This is all Jiao Lian's pride, he is happy to offer his skills in front of the Son of Heaven and the generals, but he is limited to politeness, so he has to be humble: "Wu Yi Bo Zhuyu is in front, Lian has a little little skill, how dare he be reckless in front of the holy car!" ”

His excuse was not resolute, after being instigated by everyone, and then looking at Li Dingguo's face, he couldn't help but say again: "Of course, if Wu Yibo has Yaxing, Lian is willing to accompany him, but it is just a slight skill, don't laugh after you see it!" ”

In Li Dingguo's impression, the combat power of the Ming army has never been high, and the combat power of the Beijing camp is even worse.

He is confident that his archery skills will not lose one, and if he shoots well, he can make the Ming army respect him and show the strength of the Western Army, but he is unwilling to show off his means too much, and he has the upper hand over Jiao Lian, he knows that he is a guest, and he is above the master at once, which is easy to provoke disgust. He was determined to find a balance between showing his skills and not degrading Jiao Lian, and acted at the opportunity.

"Archery is not what the country is good at." Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "General Jiao's divine shooting is well deserved, or ask General Jiao to shoot first, and Dingguo will watch and learn from the sidelines!" ”

"Wu Yibo's archery skills are unparalleled, and there are rumors in the army, which is too humble." Jiao Lian couldn't help but say politely again: "Since this is the case, Lian will throw bricks and lead jade, and shoot first for ugliness." (To be continued.) )
