Chapter 581: Invitation (Second Update!) )
Three days later, outside the city of Guishan, flags were displayed, gongs and drums were noisy, and people were crowded. The pen and the fun and the pavilion are www.biquge.info just to welcome the soldiers who are about to return from a great victory.
This battle can only be regarded as a civil war in Dawan. If you add up the two wars, this war will take only a month, which is something that no one expected. And this is also thanks to Ding Chong. It took less than ten days for Ding Chong to destroy the forces of the second prince. And there was also a period of time to wait for Ma Chao and Dahan Iron Cavalry to come to support.
"Look, our army is back!"
The dust kicked up in the distance was already very clear. On the horizon, many more black dots were rising and falling.
"Drums! Trumpet! ”
As soon as King Dawan gave the order, the war drums and horns that had been prepared long ago sounded a strong sound again.
Soon, the dark shadow gradually zoomed in. In the returning procession, there were two horsemen walking side by side, Ma Chao and the general of the Praetorian Guard, and behind them were two large flags flying in the wind at the same time, "Wan" and "Han".
Amid the heart-wrenching sound of war drums and trumpets, Ma Chao and the Praetorian Guard general stopped in front of King Dawan. "Meet the King!" Ma Chao bent down and saluted, and the Praetorian Guard general pointed to the ground on one knee!
"General Ma doesn't have to be like this!" King Dawan first grabbed Ma Chao's hand and pulled Ma Chao up, and then turned around and pulled up the general of the Praetorian Guard, "General, please get up!" ”
When the three of them stood still, "General Zhong Wei has worked hard." You are fighting on the front line, and we can only pray for the army here. Now the war is over, thanks to the two generals! ……”
"Your Excellency is gracious!"
……
The three of them stood there and chatted for half an hour, and King Dawan almost couldn't even ask how heavy Ma Chao was in the desert a day. Finally, "It's windy and sandy outside, so the two generals should quickly return to the city with this king!" Ma Chao finally ended his pain.
As soon as they entered the gate of Guishan City, the girls and boys who had been arranged long ago picked up flower baskets with flower petals and scattered them one after another. Ma Chao smiled and looked at the rain of petals, I don't know how many beautiful girls who have fascinated Sichun. Enthusiastic crowds lined up from the city gates to the gates of the royal palace. Ma Chao, who walked into the palace gate, breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally had his ears cleaner!
In the palace, the grand banquet was already in place, and Ma Chao sat in the first place under King Dawan, and below Ma Chao was naturally Ding Chong. Before the banquet began, the Praetorian Guard general walked in front of King Dawan with a long wooden box. "Your Majesty, this thing is ......"
"Give it to the king!" King Dawan didn't stay in this matter for long, and after ordering someone to take the wooden box containing the prince's sword to the back hall, King Dawan picked up the wine glass.
"Let's raise a glass and celebrate this great victory!"
Everyone raised their glasses!
……
Between the staggered bargains, Ma Chao and Ding Chong had already eaten more than a dozen cups. Ma Chao and Ding Chong are good players on the battlefield, and they naturally do not fall behind in the wine field. Glass after glass, all those who come to toast do not refuse, let's do it when we come!
Very usually, there was another person in front of Ma Chao. Ma Chao squinted at him a little drunkenly, "Come on, do it!" ”
Ma Chao was about to raise a glass as he spoke, but the man said, "General, slow down!" ”
"Huh? How? ”
"The next is from Kangju. King Kangju sent down here to invite the general to Kangju as a guest! ”
"Kangju?" Ma Chao said suspiciously.
"It's Kangju! I Kangju Wang has long admired the Han culture, and now I heard that the Han Iron Cavalry is here, and I want to see the power of the Han Iron Cavalry. Therefore, I hereby invite the general! ”
As soon as the words of the Kangju envoy fell, the entire hall immediately fell into silence. His eyes were cast on this side, both plainly and secretly.
Ma Chao smiled, "Kangju! I thanked King Kangju for his kindness. However, the Han Iron Cavalry is to protect the family and defend the country, not to enjoy any style. Please also ask the envoy for forgiveness! ”
When Ma Chao said this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Although this is only a small invitation, it completely represents the meaning of the big man. If Ma Chao led Dahan Tie to ride to Kangju, it would be equivalent to releasing a signal. We are not the only ones who support you. And vice versa.
And now that Ma Chao has rejected King Kangju, the face of the Kangju envoy is a little embarrassed. However, Ma Chao continued: "Besides, I am only responsible for marching and fighting. But all the envoys are in charge of the envoys! ”
I'm just a general who leads the army into battle. I will only go where there is war. You live in peace, what am I going to do? Besides, we can play according to the normal envoy's instructions. However, I'll take care of this matter, you better ask Ding Chong next to me!
And Ding Chong also immediately picked up Ma Chao's voice, "Since King Kangju has warmly invited, I will definitely represent Dahan and bring enough gifts to the envoy." Or the noble envoy told King Kangju that after the envoy goes, don't be extravagant and wasteful! ”
Drink! Look at Ding Chong's meaning, people will not only entertain you, but also be gracious!
I tell you by all means in the next! Two generals, please! The Kangju envoy smiled slightly and raised his glass.
In the whole banquet, except for this little episode, there were no waves. However, Ma Chao and Ding Chong drank and ate to their heart's content this time!
The next day, Ma Chao was finally able to get up from bed comfortably. However, Ma Chao still found Ding Chong immediately. Discuss yesterday's well-being.
Ding Chong's answer to Ma Chao was very simple, the Western Regions Protectorate only arrived in Dawan. Now Kangju has come to show goodwill, which is an opportunity. If we can convince Kangju to join the Metropolitan Protectorate, then the scale of our Metropolitan Protectorate will be even larger. Moreover, even if Kangju does not join the Metropolitan Protectorate, as long as the Metropolitan Protectorate can maintain a good relationship with the Metropolitan Residence, I am afraid it will be a great achievement!
At this time, Ma Chao asked again, "Since you are going to Kangju, why don't you even go to the Dayue Clan!" However, now that the war in Dawan is over, it is time for the army to return. When are you leaving? ”
Yes, Dawan's civil strife has subsided. The eldest prince died, and the second prince disappeared. Now Dawan no longer needs Ma Chao and Dahan Iron Cavalry. It's useless to stay here.
Ding Chong thought for a while, "Two ways and wait a few days." It won't take long for the last general to send Kangju to Kangju! When Kangju is done, the last general will return with the army! ”
Ma Chao nodded, "That's it!" ”
Originally, Ma Chao didn't need to ask Ding Chong's opinion, but Ma Chao was also a delicate person. Ding Chong's future will definitely not be worse than his current self. So, it's important to maintain a good relationship.
Ding Chong prepared for a day, and on the second day, Ding Chong embarked on the road to Kangju with the Kangju envoy. But before Ding Chong left for a few days, Guishan City ushered in a few more guests. They are from the Otsuki clan.
The meaning of the Otsuki clan is basically the same as that of Kangju. We may have had some small misunderstandings before, but now that the misunderstanding is gone, we can't die as neighbors and never get along. So, I'm here to apologize to you!
Dawan has already forgiven Kangju, so naturally he won't offend the Dayue clan. After the two sides released their previous suspicions, the Great Yue Clan also immediately asked the Han envoy to chat with their Yue Clan King.
Yes, now Ding Chong has reached the border of Kangju. There was no way, Ma Chao had no choice but to give Ding Chongxiu a letter.
The Da Yue clan is here, you come back from Kangju and go directly to the Da Yue clan. Don't worry, I won't leave you alone!
