Chu Huan had already stepped forward, and saw that the table was full of grease stains, and several dishes had been overturned, so he immediately called someone to come over and clean it up again, and when it was cleaned up, Chu Huan personally poured wine for several people's wine glasses, then sat down, picked up the wine glass, and said: "On the battlefield, each has its own battle, there is no need to mention it, drink here today, Chu Huan will do it first as a respect!" Without saying a word, he drained the wine in the cup, and then showed it to the four people.

The four of them looked at each other, and they didn't know whether they should drink this glass of wine, but after a period of silence, they saw Ming Ji take the lead in holding the wine glass and drank it all, but they didn't say much.

Gu Liangchen and Sun Can also drank their cups one after another, although Hou Jingang picked up the wine glass, he didn't drink it all immediately, staring at Chu Huan, as if he wanted to see through Chu Huan's intentions, but Chu Huan had a harmless smile on his face, how could Hou Jingang see through Chu Huan's thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Chu Huan, what do you want to do, say it quickly, it will be an urgent person, you pretend to be a ghost like this, you will not be able to drink this glass of wine." He put the glass on the table.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Does General Hou think that Bendu is pretending to be a ghost?" Ben Du said that it is just a few drinks on the occasion of parting, and we will fight on the battlefield, and the south will be hostile to each other, and I hope that after this meal of wine, everyone will laugh and enmity. ”

"Sure enough." Hou Jingang smiled: "This is execution wine, since this is the case, it doesn't hurt to drink a few glasses before he dies." He picked up his glass and drank it all, "Since we have been defeated, we have nothing to say." ”

"Before you die?" Chu Huanqi said: "General Hou misunderstood, just before parting, why did he say the word death." ”

Hou Jingang frowned and said, "Isn't parting just going to the execution ground?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "It seems that General Hou really misunderstood." Food and horses have been prepared for several generals, and the soldiers and horses of the Tianshan Mountains outside the city in the past two days can also return to their hometowns as long as they wish, but because the governor has been busy with affairs recently, I am afraid that I will not be able to find time to send you off in the future, so I will take advantage of the time tonight to set up a table of wine here to see off the generals. ”

Gu Liangchen and the others were all stunned and looked at each other.

Hou Jingang was also stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said suspiciously: "Chu Huan, do you mean to say that you ...... You're going to let us go? ”

"If several generals are willing to stay, the governor will naturally be overjoyed and pleased." Chu Huan said with a smile: "If today is uncertain, thieves are numerous, if a few generals want to serve the country and quell the rebellion with the governor, with the talent and courage of several generals, of course it is a blessing in the world, but the governor has never forced others, if the generals want to return to their hometown, of course the governor has no reason to stop it." ”

Hou Jingang stood up suddenly, opened his mouth, but did not speak, and then sat down slowly, with a confused face, looked at several other people, and saw that several companions also showed surprise, and after a period of silence, he finally heard Gu Liangchen ask: "Chu ...... Chu Du, we don't understand what you mean! ”

Chu Huan picked up the wine jug, poured himself full of wine, and then pushed the wine jug to Gu Liangchen's hand very casually, Gu Liangchen was stunned for a moment, but he still picked up the wine jug, poured himself full of wine, and passed it down in turn, several people poured wine for themselves, Chu Huan said: "A soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, and on the battlefield, each is his master, and he fights to the end, he is the real soldier." Several generals were very brave in the battle of the racecourse, that is, they were in adversity, and they fought to the end, and they could be called real soldiers. If a few of them were on the run and were arrested by the Governor, there would not have been such a banquet in the near future, and it was precisely because several generals had fulfilled their duties as soldiers that the Governor admired them very much. ”

Hou Jingang and the others were silent, but their expressions eased significantly.

"This time Tianshan sent troops, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than Zhu Lingyue's wolf ambition, since you are his subordinates, obey his orders, it is also a matter of course." Chu Huan sighed: "In fact, many things, right or wrong, are not something that can be easily decided at that time, and it will take many years for future generations to comment." From the position of the Governor, Zhu Lingyue is naturally a heinous crime, but the Governor does not feel that the Tianshan soldiers are really unforgivable. The Governor has already ordered that the soldiers of the Tianshan Mountains outside the city, who are willing to return to their hometowns, will be rationed dry food for returning to their hometowns, and the Governor has decided that the Juntian Order will be implemented in the Tianshan Mountains......! ”

Several of them were slightly discolored.

"The officials of the Tianshan Mountains, the governor will not condemn them, and they will do their jobs, but after the Tianshan Mountains are stabilized, they will be evaluated by officials, and those who are qualified to stay will be reused. Glancing at the four of them, he said slowly: "There is one thing, this governor can assure a few people, although the Northwest Army has already controlled Mingsha City and Shazhou City, but the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army will definitely not commit any crimes against the people in the city, and your family members are also safe and sound. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his glass, "Everyone, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when we will be able to drink at the same table again, this glass of wine is the wine that the governor sent off several generals!" Raise your head and drink it all, this time several people did not hesitate, and took the cup.

After putting down the wine glass, Gu Liangchen finally asked, "Chu ...... Chu Du said that the world is turbulent, and now the northwest can be regarded as all under the control of Chu Du, and the bandits in the northwest are just a group of clowns who jump off the beam for Chu Du, and I don't know where Chu Du wants to pacify the bandits? ”

"General Gu, if you really want to talk about it, the current northwest is not too turbulent." Chu Huan said solemnly: "But I think you also know that there is a mess in the Guannei, especially the Southeast Tianmen Dao, the Qingtian King of Hebei, that is all for the disaster, the strength is strong, as far as this governor knows, the Tianmen Road has hit the Yuling Road, which is close to the land of Gyeonggi, and the Qingtian King also entered Fuhai from Hebei, not to mention the others, it is these two forces that have already disturbed the turmoil in the world, the people have been displaced, such a big disaster, the Northwest Army will have to do its best sooner or later." ”

Hou Jingang's eyes lit up and asked, "Chu Du, are you saying that sooner or later you will lead the troops into the pass?" At this time, he did not call him by his first name, but called "Chu Du", obviously his mentality has changed.

"This governor can't say well now." Chu Huan said with a smile: "But if necessary, it is naturally incumbent on this governor to calm down the turmoil." ”

Ming Ji remained silent, and finally raised his head at this time and asked, "Chu Du, do you know why Zhu Lingyue raised troops, and why do we support him?" ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Please advise!" ”

"Chu Du is willing to sit here and drink with us, he has courage and knowledge, and Ming Ji admires it very much." Ming Ji said lightly: "In the final analysis, we are the generals of the defeated army, whether we live or die, in fact, we don't take it to heart, so there are some words that don't have to be hidden." After a pause, he stared at Chu Huan and said, "What Chu Du said makes sense, but there are some meanings, but Ming Ji doesn't agree with them." ”

"Oh?"

"In Chu Du's words, it seems that he also takes the Qin court seriously, if so, Chu Du can't be called a great husband." Ming Ji said slowly: "Ming Ji admits that today's saint established the country and opened up the territory, and he was indeed a generation of male lords, which is admirable, but today's saint and the heroic male lord in the early years are like two people, and the Great Qin Empire has no meaning to continue to exist at this point, and the longer the Qin State remains, the deeper the people of the world will suffer." The Heavenly Gate Dao and the Blue Heavenly King and the like were certainly disturbing the world, but if it weren't for the defeat of the Qin State, they would not have such an opportunity. ”

When Hou Jingang and the three of them heard Ming Ji say this, they all showed surprise.

Ming Ji's words, if put in the past, it was a thrilling rebellious words, and it is not an exaggeration to exterminate the three clans, but now, it is not surprising, the reason why Hou Jingang and the three of them were surprised was not what Ming Ji said, but that the three of them all knew that Ming Ji had always been a silent and low-key person, and he was silent all year round, and it was rare to listen to his long speeches, but at this moment Ming Ji had changed his normality, and in terms of Kankan, it was very different from what he used to be, which made Hou Jingang and the three naturally surprised.

Ming Ji was a member of the Tianshan Praetorian Guard before Zhu Lingyue served as the governor of the Tianshan Mountains, but at that time he was just a small general of the Praetorian Guard, but after Zhu Lingyue came to power, he was repeatedly promoted, and Ming Ji has been held until the position of Lang General, if it were not for Sheng Xuantong's cunzài, Ming Ji has even become the commander of the Tianshan Praetorian Guard, but even so, his status in the Tianshan Legion is not trivial, and it is also deeply valued by Zhu Lingyue.

In front of Zhu Lingyue, it was rare for this person to say a few words, but when he saw Chu Huan for the first time today, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said such intrivial words to outsiders, and Hou Jingang and the three of them really couldn't understand what Ming Ji was thinking for a while.

Chu Huan groaned slightly, and then said with a solemn expression: "What General Ming said makes a lot of sense, and there is indeed a problem with the strategy and policy of the imperial court, otherwise Tianmen Dao and Qingtian King would not have developed into what they are now." ”

"It's not that there's a big problem, it's the emperor's doing, which is the way to destroy the country." Ming Ji's face was expressionless, as if he was just stating some kind of fact: "The way to build a country is extremely difficult, but the way to destroy the country is extremely simple." The emperor opened up the territory and established the country, arrogant and self-respecting, once he went astray, he would destroy a country, and what he did was also going astray. Zhu Lingyue's thoughts, we all know very well, he really wants to occupy the northwest first, and then enter the military pass, sweep the world, and change the dynasty, even now, I still think that his ambition is ambition, the road is not wrong, but it is difficult for people to win the sky, although he has ambition, but he does not have that kind of talent, this first step is taken, and it is blocked ......! Speaking of this, there was a slight emotion in his eyes, and he did not continue.

Gu Liangchen and the others were also thoughtful.

What Ming Ji said was just to say what everyone thought in their hearts, in the eyes of Gu Liangchen and others, of course there was no need for the Qin State to survive, and it was the way to rise up in troubled times and compete for dominance in the world.

Chu Huan stared at Ming Ji and asked, "What does General Ming mean?" ”

"Chu Du, the Qin State cannot be protected or existed, if you still want to serve the crumbling Qin State, you will only be buried for it." Ming Ji said lightly: "A corner of peace, although you can dominate for a while, but if you don't have an enterprising heart, sooner or later it will disappear. ”
