Chapter 195: Banquet and Hospitality

A few days later, when the sun was rising, Shi Min's thousands of men and horses finally returned to Yecheng, for a time, Shi Min attacked the Xiongnu at night, and the miracles of the Qiang people were spread all over the streets and alleys, and women and children knew about it.

Early that morning, because Shi Hu was unwell, he asked Shi Shi and Shi Zhan to lead dozens of people to go ten miles away to greet him.

"Fifth brother, this time Xiao Min won the first battle, and he has grown the majesty of my Zhao Kingdom, what a hero is a young man!" Shi Shi rode on horseback, looked at the returning army in the distance, and said to Shi Zhan.

"He has received the emperor's favor since he was a child, learned the art of war, and practiced martial arts, in order to fight on the battlefield for His Majesty and defend his family and country. The royal brother must not praise him too much, lest he be impetuous, thinking that he is invincible in the world. ”

"Fifth brother, you are too strict with this child, young people should still be encouraged." Shi Shi smiled and said to Shi Zhan again: "What my father said about the marriage a few days ago...... The fifth brother doesn't have to worry, if Xiao Min is unwilling in his heart, he will never be reluctant to be a brother, and when the time comes, let's write to my father to explain the situation and ask my father to take back his fate. ”

Shi Zhan said with some embarrassment: "Second Emperor Brother......"

"No need to say more...... Shi Shi shook his hand and said, "Brother Wei understands, you and my brotherly relationship, don't be affected by such a thing." ”

Faced with Shi Shi's seemingly generous mentality, Shi Zhan didn't know how to answer for a while, and just at this time, Shi Zhan's men reported: "General Qiyu and His Royal Highness King Yan, the young general and the two generals on the left and right forwards have led the army to five miles away." ”

"Second Emperor Brother, do you want to go and have a look together?" Shi Zhan hurriedly found a step for himself.

"It's natural, go! Let's go! As soon as Shi Shi's voice fell, he rushed down the hill first.

Shi Zhan hurriedly followed, and dozens of fast horses galloped towards the army in the distance.

"I'm finally home!" Shi Min looked at the army behind him and said to Wang Shicheng and Li Chang.

"Boy, seeing that you are so excited, are you thinking about that Qin girl?" Li Chang quipped.

"Second uncle, why do you have to involve Miss Qin in everything?" Shi Min said with some embarrassment.

"I think you and that Qin girl are very compatible, talented and beautiful!" Li Chang deliberately teased Shi Min.

"Look! The Great General is here! Zhang Mufeng shouted first.

Shi Min, Li Chang and the others looked in the direction of Zhang Mufeng's finger, and sure enough, dozens of fast horses galloped in the distance, led by a black horse, which was clearly Shi Zhan's mount.

"It's really a father!" Shi Min shouted happily.

"Second brother, Xiao Min, let's go and see first!" Wang Shicheng said.

"Drive!" The three of them unexpectedly sped up.

Shi Zhan and Shi Shiyuan also saw Shi Min and the others coming, so they slowed down, and at the same time, Li Chang's loud voice came: "Hey! Eldest brother! We're back! ”

"Hehehehehehe, General Li's voice is still so loud." Shi Shi said to Shi Zhan with a smile.

"If he loses his voice one day, he won't be Li Chang." Shi Zhan smiled.

"If you want to say that Xiao Min, this child, wearing his father's Yan Ling armor is really presentable!"

Before Shi Zhan could reply, Shi Min and the others had already arrived in front of them, only to see Shi Min jump off the horse, walk a few steps forward, and then kneel down and salute, shouting: "The child greets his father, and meets His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

"Get up!" Shi Zhan raised his hand, then turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Shi Min, patted Shi Min, and said, "You have finally lived up to the high expectations of Your Majesty and your father." ”

"The child is determined to join the army, and he should kill the enemy to serve the country, but it is a pity that he failed to keep Yunzhong County this time."

"Xiao Min! You've done a great job this time! Now the streets and alleys of Yecheng are telling the story of you breaking the Hun camp at night and attacking the Qiang people for thousands of miles, and Your Majesty is also very happy about this, so Xiao Min, don't be modest, the hero is a teenager! Shi Zhan said, walked over with a smile, and said to Shi Min: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, so I didn't come to pick you up in person, and I specially ordered the king and your father to pick you up." ”

"Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe? Wasn't it okay before we left? "Shi Min grew up beside Shi Hu since he was a child, and he still has a deep affection for Shi Hu, and when he heard that Shi Hu was sick, he was naturally a little anxious.

"Your Majesty is just worried about the front-line war, and when he heard that Yunzhong County was sacked, he was in a hurry, so he fell ill, don't worry, it's not a big deal, just rest for a while." Shi Zhan comforted.

"Early tomorrow morning, you will enter the palace with your father, and then your father will be canonized, and he will reward the soldiers behind you."

"Canonization?" Shi Min didn't seem to think of this at all.

"Of course, if you kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, you will naturally be rewarded." Shi Shi looked at Shi Zhan again and said, "Fifth brother, you teach your son well!" I am deeply admired for my brother! ”

"Second Emperor Brother, I am a rough person, I can't talk about teaching my son well, if I have to count the credit, it is all the emperor's grace." Shi Zhan hurriedly excused himself.

Shi Shi smiled, took a few steps forward, and bowed to Li Chang and Wang Shicheng behind Shi Min, and said: "The two generals have worked hard, this expedition, hard work is high, my Zhao Guo can seek peace in the troubled times, and the two generals are indispensable." ”

Li Chang and Wang Shicheng saluted them when they saw the dignified King of Yan, and they were a little flattered, and hurriedly returned the salute respectfully, Wang Shicheng said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, the two generals are soldiers, and they should fight on the battlefield for Your Majesty, and they dare not say that they have worked hard and made great achievements. ”

"Okay, you're welcome." Shi Shi stepped forward and patted Li Chang and Wang Shicheng on the shoulder, then turned to Shi Zhan and said: "Second brother, this time General Li, General Wang and Xiao Min have made meritorious contributions to the expedition against the Huns, and my brother will set up a banquet in the Yanwang Mansion tonight to catch the wind and wash the dust, you shouldn't object, right?" ”

Shi Zhan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Second Emperor Brother, you are too polite, Li Chang and Wang Shicheng are just two forward generals under the younger brother, and Xiao Min is still a junior, let you set up a banquet in person, it will inevitably show love to them." ”

Shi Shi smiled, waved his hand, and said: "Actually, it is a trivial matter to set up a banquet to wash the dust, and the main reason for my brother is to hear Xiao Min and the two generals tell the story of this expedition against the Huns, and see how your 10,000 horses and horses won by surprise." ”

"This ......" Shi Zhan hesitated.

"Brother Wei doesn't know how to fight, but it's always okay to listen to them, right? Could it be that you don't give any face? Shi Shi asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, what did the second emperor brother say...... The little brother is just ......"

"Then you agree!" Shi Shiyi grabbed Shi Zhan's hand and interrupted him.

Seeing that Shi Shi was so gracious, Shi Zhan was embarrassed to refuse again, and nodded reluctantly. And Shi Min originally wanted to go back to the Xihua Marquis Mansion to visit Qin Wan, but seeing that his father had already nodded, as a junior, it was naturally difficult for him to say anything, not to mention that the dignified King Yan personally set up a banquet, and then shirked it, it seemed that he didn't know how to count.

As for Wang Shicheng and Li Chang, naturally they will not have any opinions, they only see whether Shi Zhan nods, and now that Shi Zhan has allowed it, then these two will naturally not have any opinions, especially Li Chang, he is a well-known good wine.

"Second brother, Brother Wei knows why you are a little unhappy, isn't it because Brother Wei didn't invite you to go with me just now?" Shi Shi quipped.

"No, no, no, how can the little brother mean this......" Shi Zhan hurriedly explained.

"Hahaha, I'm kidding you for my brother." Shi Shi patted Shi Zhan, and then said, "How can there be no such a banquet without you?" Naturally, this king wants to leave the most important position to you? ”

"Second Emperor Brother don't have to be polite, you know, the younger brother has always been strong enough to drink, forget about drinking, the army is triumphant today, there are still a lot of things to deal with in the camp, the younger brother won't bother today, let's let them go."

"Really?" Shi Shi asked with a slight frown.

Shi Zhan replied with some embarrassment: "Another day!" Another day, the younger brother must invite the imperial brother to Xihuahou Mansion as a guest, and the younger brother will accompany him personally, how about it? ”

"Okay! This king is by no means strong, since you have military affairs, then this king is not reluctant! Shi Shi smiled.
