In the twenty-third section, tung oil lamps were burned in the tent.

Everyone has a table in front of them.

There was a large pot of meat on the table.

There is also a wine glass next to the meat.

Everyone's faces were beaming with joy, too, and after more than ten days of fear, now the reinforcements have finally arrived. And he also broke the invincible navy of the Southern Barbarians at sea, and it would be false to say that he was not happy. Another reason is that this reinforcement brought grain and grass materials, this tung oil, wine and meat were only unloaded from the ship today, and they can finally live a normal life, and all the generals are relieved.

Peng Yuzhi was sitting on the side of several cases, talking endlessly. Speaking of the excitement, he even stood up and danced with his hands. The others were born shorter and thinner, but at this time they were more like clowns, and everyone was munching on the case while laughing a few times from time to time. The whole tent also seemed to be happy.

He was talking about the naval battle with the Southern Barbarians in the afternoon, and when he talked about the highlights, his eyes were already shining. It's just that his eloquence is not very good, and these generals seem to be reincarnated as starving ghosts, most of them chew their heads, and raise their heads from time to time to deal with two sounds, as for how many people are listening to him, only God knows.

The tent was old, but it was also very large. Almost all of the people who can attend are general-level figures. It's just that there is a large crowd on the right, and there are very few on the left. The people sitting on the right are all members of the Southern Expeditionary Army, while the people on the left are representatives of this reinforcement.

Wu Ming is naturally on the left. Because the Guards Battalion is more special. So behind him, Yang Xiong, Ge Yi and even Zuo Wei were all present. And under Wu Ming, there is Xie Kun, the representative of the Jiangnan Navy. Sitting in the middle of the camp tent is the host of this banquet, the former governor of the Gulf Province, and now the general of the Southern Han Dynasty, Zhu Yulong.

Zhu Yulong's slightly chubby body shape is seven or eight points similar to Zhu Huai, but in comparison, he is naturally much younger. After all, he is in the prime of life, and no matter how well Zhu Huai is maintained, he will be almost sixty years old after all. He was holding a cup in his right hand, supporting his chin in his left hand, squinting at Peng Yuzhi talking below, as if listening with relish. Peng Yuqi stammered for a long time, and finally finished speaking.

Before his words fell, Zhu Yulong had already stood up, shook his cup downward, and said loudly: "I wish that I was careless, was attacked by the enemy, and lost my grain and grass, so that the generals suffered from me during this time." Here, I'll punish myself with a glass first. As he spoke, he raised the cup in his hand and drank it all first.

The main general took the responsibility to toast, and the generals who were eating and drinking below naturally did not dare to slack off, and wiped their mouths with great satisfaction, stood up from several cases, raised their glasses in return, and said kind words in their mouths, and there was a sudden chaos in the camp tent. Zhu Yulong smiled slightly, and didn't care. poured another glass of wine, and said to Wu Ming: "Lord Wu, this time you have to get out of the predicament, thanks to your proper command, there is no respect in the army, only a glass of water and wine, I hope you Haihan." I'll do it first for respect. After speaking, he drank it all again, and then raised his cup to Wu Mingming.

Wu Ming secretly praised in his heart, this wished Yulong worthy of being the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army. In the past, I was worried about Zhu Huai's nepotism, but now it seems that I am too worried. I haven't seen it militarily, so I don't dare to make judgments, but with this courage to take responsibility, he is more than enough to be the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

He was able to retreat safely under the night attack of Eulut, and he was certainly not a straw bag. Zhu Huai's two sons and one daughter, except for Zhu Yuhu's unknown life and death, have not yet fully grown up. The other two can be described as dragons and phoenixes among people. Plus a wish Xiaolong. He secretly said in his heart, but he couldn't help but be a little proud, it is better to be friends with a group of human spirits than with a group of pigs. With thoughts in his heart, he was not slow in his hand, and poured a glass of wine and saluted: "The victory in this battle is mostly due to luck, mainly because I wish the governor to drag the other party for so long, and the enemy army is tired, which is also indispensable." ”

The strange look in Zhu Yulong's eyes flashed, and he seemed to get to know Wu Ming again, and looked him up and down. Wu Ming was furious by his aggressive gaze. Just when he was a little at a loss, Zhu Yulong snorted and smiled slightly: "Lord Wu, this is not true." The victory of our navy this time shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Nanban navy. Lord Wu is already among the famous generals with this battle alone. ”

Although he knew that the other party was his brother-in-law, most of them were exaggerated. But after receiving the praise of the chief general of the Southern Army, Wu Ming was also a little proud in his heart. It's just that the two sides complimented each other like this, and even he felt a little goosebumps. Seeing Zhu Yulong sit down, he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what General Zhu's plans are next?" ”

Zhu Yulong glanced at the generals on his right who were still eating and drinking, and couldn't help frowning. Said: "Lord Wu, although our army has been supplied, it is also exhausted, and if you want to recover your combat strength, I am afraid you will have to cultivate for a while." My original intention was to form a formation here and defend myself, and wait for everyone to recover their energy before doing what he thinks, what do you think? ”

Wu Ming also glanced at the generals opposite, and his mind was clear. After Zhu Yulong was attacked, he retreated to a small hill twenty miles away from Guangyang and built a formation on the mountain. In the afternoon, as they walked, they saw barren fields full of mud puddles, large and small. Out of curiosity, I asked Peng Yuzhi, who was following him, about the situation. Since seeing Wu Ming retreating from the other party's two thousand iron horses while talking and laughing, Peng Yuzhi admired Wu Ming even more. Nature is knowing everything, saying everything. Peng Yu told him that all of this was caused by the troops digging wild vegetables. During this period of the Southern Expeditionary Army, almost all of them boiled porridge with wild vegetables and a little surplus grain. Despite this, if the grain and grass are not enough, I am afraid that it will really be "exhausted". Because in a radius of more than ten miles, almost everything that can be dug up is almost exhausted by them.

Although the food and grass have arrived, now that the generals are hungry like this, it is naturally impossible for those big soldiers outside to have a good time. However, the remnants of the 40,000 Southern Expeditionary Army did not disperse in a hurry, thinking of this, Wu Ming couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yulong on the main seat, this commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, it is not simple. The thought turned in his heart, but he said: "I wish the general is right, let's cultivate for a few days, and wait for the troops to recover, and then besiege Guangyang." ”

Zhu Yulong smiled and said, "That's very good. Seeing that everyone was almost there, he put the cup on the table and shouted, "Everyone, Guangyang has not yet been captured." The so-called 'never forget the past, the teacher of the future.' "Don't be greedy anymore, that's the end of today's celebration feast." After everyone returned to the camp, they reorganized their armies and prepared to fight again. This time, Guangyang has lost the help of the Nanban Navy, and everyone strives to go down with a drum and be ashamed. ”

Although these generals of Zhengnan were full of ugliness at the table, when they heard Zhu Yulong say this, they stood up with a "brush" and said neatly: "Obey the general's order." It seems to be quite imposing, but Wu Ming is in his heart, this wishing the Yulong generals is really very set.

After most of the people dispersed, Zhu Yulong smiled and said, "Lord Wu, the business is over." You're going to stay, let's cheer up, okay? ”

Wu Mingzheng stood up, preparing to go out with Yang Xiong and the others, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly stopped. He nodded and said, "It's okay." He turned his head to Yang Xiong and the others and said, "You go down first, and I will discuss something with Zhu Dudu." "Now Zhu Yulong is Wu Ming's brother-in-law, and it is normal to say it in a little private voice, and the three of them are not surprised, so they agreed and went straight out.

When everyone had gone out, the two went into the inner tent. Zhu Yulong has been on the expedition for more than a year, and his whole family, wife and children are all in Nanning, so naturally he didn't bring any subordinates. After he sent out the two soldiers who had followed him, the whole camp was immediately deserted and silent.

Zhu Yulong took out a chair and sat down, then stretched out his hand and said to Wu Ming: "Lord Wu, don't be restrained, the child is taken care of, I am very grateful." ”

He said Zhu Xiaolong, Wu Ming raised his head and just saw a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. I only felt that the distance between the two sides was a lot closer, and he bowed and said, "If Brother Zhu speaks like this, he will see the outside." ”

Zhu Yulong smiled slightly and said, "Yes, if it's too polite, I think Xiaoqing will blame me." He said, sighed and said: "September and October rain and frost, Nanyang Nanjiao has a long journey. As soon as the stars and frost are in turmoil, the way of heaven is unrestrained and the world is impermanent. ”

An improvised poem behind him was greatly vicissitudes, and Wu Ming was also sour, and the warmth that had just risen because of Zhu Yuqing was gone. Zhu Yulong led his troops to besiege Guangyang last year, and it has been more than a year now, I'm afraid even he didn't expect so many things to happen. The Eastern Han Dynasty was divided, the two Han Dynasty fought a big battle, and he was defeated again, almost losing his life to the enemy. And Rong Ma is so good, the little sister got married, his son was born and died, so many important things can only be watched, no wonder this Zhengnan general Dasheng sighed.

Zhu Yulong continued: "After I led my troops to besiege Guangyang last year, there was a great chaos in the north of the southern barbarians. I also sent scouts deep into Nanjiao in the hope of finding the remnants of the Southern Expeditionary Army, but in the end I learned that you had made a detour to the west. I also pinched a cold sweat for you at the time, but then I think about it, this is a clever trick to survive in death, but it is also a little too risky. ”

Wu Ming's heart moved, although Zhu Yulong was praising himself in his words. But his attention was all on the words that the other party had leaked. He blamed himself for taking a risk, but he was also afraid that if the westward strategy failed, Tao Yu would fall into the enemy's hands. It's just that the situation was critical at that time, and if I didn't decisively go west, I am afraid that my death would be even more ugly. Zhu Yulong said this, and it has nothing to do with his upright temperament. He led his troops to besiege Guangyang for more than a year, but he still hasn't captured it, and I'm afraid there are also elements that are too righteous and unwilling to take risks.
