That night, General Cao held a banquet in the barracks, one was to celebrate the recovery of all the three posts in northern Xinjiang, and the other was to celebrate the two divisions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

said that General Cao set up a banquet, but in fact, the people on Yang Yu's side were busy, but the guests were too big, so even though it was in his own territory, he still set up a banquet in the name of General Cao.

The materials in the city were not abundant, and although Liu Guanyi won the battle, the victory was really tragic, 5,000 soldiers before the war, and only more than 2,000 people remained after the war, and the banquet was really not too much at this time, and only a dozen people from both sides participated.

At this time, the banquet was still based on the meal system, General Cao sat in the chairman's seat, on the left hand side were the generals under General Cao Da, and on the right hand side was Yang Yu's side, Yang Yu naturally sat on the head, but as soon as Yang Yu Khan sat down, he came out again, and the smallest officers on the other side were bigger than themselves!

At the beginning of the banquet, the dishes were full of wine, General Cao stood up and raised his glass, and everyone else quickly stood up, only to hear General Cao say: "Everyone, this first cup of wine, we first salute the soldiers who died in this battle!" As he spoke, a glass of wine was spilled on the floor.

Yang Yu listened in awe, if the mutual worship at the city gate in the afternoon moved Yang Yu to be grateful, then at this time it was to make Yang Yu admire.

And they all sprinkled wine on the ground. Since someone poured the wine full, General Cao said: "The Turkic children have committed my big beam, and it has been more than half a year now, fortunately the whole army has used their lives, and now they will finally drive the enemy to Mobei, come, I will drink this cup with you!" ”

Everyone toasted together, and General Cao raised his glass again: "This third glass of wine, to Lord Yang and Liu Guanyi, thank you for blocking the Turkic reinforcements!" ”

Yang Yu and the others didn't dare to take it, and the third cup was dry again.

Everyone sat down, and then began to move chopsticks to eat vegetables, it seems that although this General Cao looks and speaks in a gentleman's style, he is still a soldier in his bones.

General Cao asked Han Wenmeng to introduce the people present one by one, and everyone had something to do in the afternoon, so they didn't have time to introduce each other. Han Wenmeng is familiar with both sides, so he is naturally the best person to introduce.

For a while, Yang Yu couldn't remember too many people's names, and only had a general impression of the other party, and then General Cao said to Yang Yu: "Lord Yang, can you tell us how you took the three posts and repelled the Turkic reinforcements?" To be honest, not only the old man, but they are also very curious! ”

Yang Yu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "General, don't call me Lord Yang in the future, just call me by my name." Then he talked about how to take the Liuguanyi with medicine, how to bring the fire into the city to extinguish the fire, how to set up an ambush, and how to let the Rouran people open the gate of the battlement.

Everyone listened while eating, and couldn't help but applaud when they heard the highlights. Then Yang Yu talked about the experience of Liu Guanyi's defense against the enemy, and when he talked about Askoma's dead arm and lame leg, everyone laughed again, and when he talked about the whole city, regardless of the army and civilians defending the city together, everyone sighed.

Yang Yu's experience during this time was already very exciting, and there was no need to add oil and vinegar, so Yang Yu just told the truth. The generals also admired Yang Yu for starting from scratch and recovering Sanyi, and saw that General Cao was very polite to Yang Yu, so he was naturally polite to Yang Yu, so the banquet went smoothly and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

When Yang Yu finished speaking, General Cao sat at the top of the general, Yang Yu remembered that his surname was Li, and took the lead and began to toast to the people of Liu Guanyi, and Liu Guanyi also hurriedly replied, they were all straightforward warriors, and from time to time everyone spoke loudly, and everyone began to call each brother and brother, and the atmosphere reached a climax.

Towards the end, General Cao took Yang Yu's arm and said, "Yang Yu, don't worry, I will definitely report your merits to the court truthfully, you can rest assured!" ”

Yang Yu said: "Thank you, General!" ”

Yang Yu didn't understand, but the generals on General Cao's side all understood the meaning of the words, this was to protect Yang Yu again, but unfortunately Yang Yu didn't understand at all, and just thanked him politely.

General Cao said again: "I can't stay here for a long time, I have to rush back to Niushan Pass tomorrow, you can go with me, and talk to my old man on the way." ”

Yang Yu hesitated for a moment before saying: "The general is so loving, the general is grateful, but I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the general tomorrow." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were shocked in their hearts, what a good opportunity this is, Yang Yu actually resigned, and General Cao's face changed slightly.

Yang Yu continued: "It's not that the last general is unwilling, it's just that one of my brothers died in this battle, and tomorrow, tomorrow will be buried." ”

General Cao said movingly: "Is it a brother?" ”

Yang Yu replied: "Although there is no blood relationship, it is better than being born." ”

General Cao said: "That old man is abrupt. After a little hesitation, he said: "I have to leave early tomorrow morning, it's not time to condole, Binghao, you can go on behalf of the old man." ”

Li Binghao, who was sitting at the top of the left, immediately got up to respond, Yang Yu was moved and quickly thanked him.

It was night, and although neither side had drunk too much wine, they both returned happy. By the time the banquet was dismissed, Yang Yu and General Cao Da were already commensurate with each other.

The next day, a mourning hall was set up in the small courtyard of the ancient father's house, and Yang Yu and the others were all vegetarian and sent their brother Gu Er. The old father sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, grief-stricken, and was always accompanied by Gu Da, who lost his brother and had to comfort the old father, and the person was also haggard.

On that day, countless people came to mourn, neighbors, relatives and comrades, and General Cao also specially sent people to come to mourn, which can be regarded as a grand funeral.

Yang Yu took everyone to be busy for a long time, Gu Er entered the earth for peace, and finally after he was busy, in front of a new grave, only he and Gu Da, Zhang Junhai and Wang Dazheng were left with the injured Su soldiers.

The five of them lined up, sitting in front of the grave, looking at the tombstone, but none of them could speak. After a long time, Yang Yu suddenly said: "Junhai, talk to Mifeng, and set up a monument for all the soldiers, soldiers and civilians who died in this battle." ”

The other four looked at Yang Yu together and erected a monument to ordinary people, which they had never heard of. Yang Yu said slowly: "All the people who died for this battle should be remembered, not a few who are officials." Everyone was born from the grassroots, and they have just become officials, and they are far from being "assimilated" by the officialdom.

Gu Da Gu Er and the four of them have different personalities, they are all more honest and silent, to be honest, Yang Yu feels that he has really neglected the two of them during this time, but now that he has lost it, it still makes Yang Yu feel a pain in his heart.

You should cherish the person in front of you, Yang Yu sighed in his heart, he looked at the brothers around him, and thought of Dolan again, and his heart couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth and tenderness. Then Yang Yu suddenly remembered that when he got up this morning, he didn't have to think about where he was and what time and space he was in for a long time like before.
