Chapter 500: The Rise of Northern Jin (7)
In such a short time, Liu Shen thought a lot about it, but the housekeeper's next words made him feel a lot more relieved.
"Master, they said that they just want to drink a bowl of wine with you in person, otherwise they won't leave anything." The butler said with a bitter face, and his strange look just now was because of this.
When will the dignified general and these soldiers push the cup and change the lamp, and they don't agree, but these people choose people and devour their eyes, and if they don't agree, they will start fighting, so that the housekeeper has to be jealous, and he can't be the master, so he has to go into the house to report.
It's just that this requirement is too low, what if General Liu drinks a bowl of wine with them, can it be that the silver of the imperial court can fall from the sky? And put some gifts, it's really worth the loss.
Seeing that General Liu Shen was still groaning, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you want to go out and drink with them?" ”
"Yes, why not." General Liu Shen blurted out that he knew that he was now on fire, and if he dared not go out to drink this round of wine, most of these soldiers would make trouble under the anger of these soldiers.
Even if he can escape with the protection of his subordinates, he will be held accountable by the court afterwards, and he will definitely not be able to keep his position as a general.
Anyway, sticking out and shrinking his head is a knife, so he will go out to drink with them, and General Liu also knows that if he behaves too much, he will inevitably be looked down upon by these soldiers, whether they make trouble or not, it will be difficult to control them afterwards.
It's just that this circle of wine can't be drunk by yourself, thinking of this, General Liu Shen looked at these chief guerrillas in the house, since there is a difficulty, everyone should do it together.
"Everyone!" General Liu shouted loudly, and roughly explained the situation outside, of course, he expressed it more tactfully, and did not say his own inference, "Since the soldiers are so attentive, then let's go out and get drunk with them, what do you think?" ”
"So many soldiers have come to say hello to the general, it can be seen that the general has won the hearts of the army..."
No one is a fool, what does it mean for so many soldiers to gather here, what kind of consequences may be triggered, and what will happen to themselves and others, as long as you think about it a little, you can understand that the sycophant obviously thought of this and stopped talking.
"Very good, it seems that everyone has no objection, so I will take the lead, and everyone will go out with me." General Liu Shen ignored the silence of these people, raised the wine bowl himself, and walked out first, believing that as long as these people had a little brain, they would know what to do to their advantage.
The rest of the generals looked at each other left and right, only hesitated for a moment, and then followed behind General Liu one after another.
If you don't go out, there will really be a mutiny, and it's useless to hide here, if no one mutiny, you will not only be hated by General Liu afterwards, but you will also be despised by your colleagues, and you will be looked down upon by your subordinates, and this team will be difficult to bring.
Seeing that all the generals in the hall took action, General Liu nodded secretly, this is about the same, if there is really any accident, I can't be left alone.
"Go, get all the family members back for me, and let them focus on keeping an eye on these soldiers outside." While walking out, Liu Shen instructed the housekeeper.
He himself kept more than 300 families, except for a few important places, such as the treasury, and his own mansion, which were guarded by these people, and the rest were still settled in the barracks in the city.
These people are all elite soldiers, if there is really a war, Liu Shen will be able to rely on them, but Zhangjiakou has been peaceful for a long time, and there are fewer and fewer of them who are raised by officials.
Tonight's incident, although these soldiers said that they would drink a bowl of wine and leave, but who knows if there will be any accidents, they really have to be guarded against, and it is when the family members come in handy.
"Yes, sir." The housekeeper replied in a low voice, followed General Liu to the front door of the compound, and walked away with his head bowed while no one was paying attention.
"Fellow comrades!" As soon as he arrived in the front yard and stood still, Liu Shenjiang raised the wine bowl, and wanted to say a few words, but a big hand carried the wine bowl and stretched out in front of him.
"My lord, your wine bowl is too small, but it's not enough to see, so let's change this bowl." A big-headed soldier was holding a large ceramic bowl, which was much larger than the one in General Liu's hand, and the bowl was full of wine, almost touching General Liu's nose.
Liu Shenjiang's face changed, such a big bowl, he couldn't withstand a few bowls of wine, "This brother, this wine... More than that, or... Less? ”
The big-headed soldier pursed his lips, "The adults are in a high position, but the amount of alcohol can't keep up." ”
"Look, so many brothers..."General Liu said, pointing towards the gate of the courtyard with his hand, and he was also taken aback when he saw that there were still soldiers pouring in, "You also saw that there are so many brothers, I still want to have a bowl with each of them, I don't want the brothers to say that I am biased." ”
"That's fine." It's not difficult for the big head soldier to speak, after listening to General Liu Shen's words, he actually agreed, and poured General Liu's bowl full with his own wine, which made General Liu feel happy, these people seem to be very easy to talk, and the situation doesn't seem to be as bad as he imagined?
"I wish you, sir... Hey, what's the happy event today, my lord? The big-headed soldier asked, holding a wine bowl.
General Liu's face was a little dark, and he dared to love these people who didn't know anything, so he came to him for a drink, and said, "Well, that... Concubinage. ”
Concubinage is naturally a romantic affair among them, but in front of ordinary soldiers, it is not appropriate to publicize it, after all, many soldiers can't even eat.
"Oh, take a concubine." The big-headed soldier in front of him didn't care much, "Then I wish the adults a happy wedding and a romantic night." ”
After saying that, he tilted his neck, drank all the wine in his bowl, and carried the empty bowl to General Liu.
General Liu listened to his greetings, and his face darkened, what kind of mess, labor and management are concubines, not marrying, where are the newlyweds, and what is the overnight romance, is this a congratulatory speech, no matter how it sounds, it sounds like a joke before visiting the kiln.
Forget it, these people don't even know a few big characters, and they can still expect them to say anything nice, Liu Shen will comfort himself like this.
Seeing the empty bowl in the other party's hand, knowing that he was signaling that he had to dry up the wine together, General Liu did not hesitate, and drank the wine in the sound of "grunt".
"Adults drink a lot." The big head soldier praised it, carried the wine bowl in one hand, and the wine jar that he found out of nowhere in the other, and then went to the other generals who followed General Liu Shen.
