Chapter 787: Five Prefectures and Twenty-six Cities
"Oooo
The rooster reported the dawn and woke up the people of a city. also woke up Wu Nian.
In the bedroom, Wu Nian opened his eyes, but he was not as energetic as before, and he was a little dizzy. This time he was not seriously injured, but the wound was infected, and fortunately the condition was not very serious.
"Whew." Wu Nian didn't want to get up a little, but he was really hungry, so he called his own soldiers in. I got hot water and washed up. Then I came to the outhouse for breakfast.
I didn't dare to eat any big fish and meat for breakfast, only light foods such as rice porridge and vegetables.
This thing is useless, I have to eat two more meals in the morning, and I have to eat a patch of Chinese medicine by the way.
But after eating porridge and having something in my stomach. Wu Nian felt warm all over his body, and his spirit was much better. After a while, he came to the study to read. After looking at it for a while, he fell asleep in a chair.
Until Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng walked in from outside.
"What's the matter?" Wu Nian opened his eyes, cheered up, and asked.
"General. Are you okay? Wang Gui didn't say anything, and asked cautiously.
"yes. Checkmate. Does it matter if you want to? Zhang Sheng also asked nervously.
"I'm strong, it's fine." Wu Nian shook his spirits and said with a smile.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were still not relieved, and carefully observed Wu Nian's complexion, which was a little relieved. The two came to the left and right positions and sat down, and Wang Guicai said, "General." We've taken stock of it. Goguryeo took more than 18,000 prisoners. Together with the five or six thousand men who had surrendered in the previous war, there were at least twenty-three thousand. ”
Wu Nian laughed when he heard this, nodded and said, "That's it." The soldiers who fled back to Goguryeo were at most in the early 10,000s. Goguryeo's vitality is greatly damaged. ”
"Hmm." Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng nodded in unison, and also showed joy. This battle is really significant.
"Do as you did before. These Goguryeo captives were relocated to Nanhai Province, Gwangcheon Province, and Yingqing Province. Send people to teach them the official dialect of Chu State, and organize them to build bridges and pave roads every day. ”
Wu Nian said without thinking.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng did not answer, and their faces showed embarrassment.
"What's wrong?" Wu Nian wondered.
"General. Five or six thousand people before counted. Now there are at least twenty-three thousand. That's not a small amount. They have to consume a lot of money and food every day, let alone send people to teach them to speak Chinese. ”
Wang Gui shook his head and sincerely put forward his opinion.
"I can't help it. I can't kill them, I can't train them into an army. They won't fight for me. You can't let them go back to Goguryeo. I can only keep them. And. I've said it before. Let them learn the official dialect of the State of Chu. Unify the script and unify the official language. It will be of great benefit to us to occupy Goguryeo in the future. ”
Wu Nian's idea was very right, and he shook his head and said.
"Yes." Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng glanced at each other and didn't say anything more.
After saying these few words, Wu Nian felt that his spirit was not good, and he showed a look of sleepiness. Seeing this, Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were about to get up and say goodbye.
At this moment, Iron Bull's loud voice rang out.
"General. I am back. ”
Wu Nian, Zhang Sheng, and Wang Gui's faces suddenly showed joy. Wu Nian stood up with his spirits, walked to the door, looked at the red-faced iron bull, and said with a smile: "It's considered to be back, so I'm so worried." ”
After a pause, Wu Nian said, "How is it?" Did you meet Li Yunpet and Zhao Man? ”
"I didn't bring the head back anyway." Zhang Sheng found that his good brother was empty-handed, and said with a smile.
"Huh." Wang Gui smiled.
Tie Niu raised his hands, indicating that he was indeed empty-handed. Then he shook his head and said, "Don't talk about bringing back people's heads, come back alive, and I will be Amitabha." ”
He told Zhao Mancheng in detail. The last one said to Wu Nian: "General." I'm incompetent. Let the tiger return to the mountain. ”
After Wu Nian and the three of them heard this, they were shocked into a cold sweat. They looked at each other, all of them showing fear and joy.
"What do you say to let the tiger go back to the mountain, you are safe and sound, better than anything else." Wu Nian didn't care about hypocrisy, stretched out his arms, hugged Tie Niu, and said sincerely.
"yes. Saving a dog's life is better than anything else. Zhang Sheng nodded repeatedly.
Wang Gui stretched out his right foot and kicked Zhang Sheng.
"yes. It's really fun to keep the dog's head on the neck. Iron Bull nodded heavily, showing a look of joy. The four of them spoke at the door, came in and sat down.
Wu Nian remembered Zhao Mancheng's words before leaving, and praised: "I have my ambitions. He has his family to defend the country. We were hostile, but we did our best. ”
"Still." Speaking of this, Wu Nian sneered and said, "It's just." He wanted to keep Goguryeo, but it was not so easy. ”
"Soon. I will cross the Yalu River and step to Goguryeo. Catch the Empress Dowager and make her kneel in front of me. Capture the king of Goguryeo alive and destroy their Jongmyo shrine. ”
The iron bull's tiger eyes flashed, and he raised his head and said, "The general is right. This kid is arrogant, thinking that if he wins me, he will be invincible in the world. Some of us are able to control him. ”
"Kill them."
He clenched his right fist and slammed it heavily on the armrest of the Taishi's chair.
"Hehehe." Seeing his spirit, the brothers all laughed.
"Alright. You're tired too, go down and rest. In a few days, Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu will be back. I have prepared a celebratory banquet, and I will not get drunk or return home when the time comes. You've got to be in good spirits. Don't lie down without eating a few taels of wine. ”
Wu Nian said with a smile.
"Okay." Iron Bull answered. Then he went down with Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng. Wu Nian was also tired, so he also went back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.
........
Lunch.
Inside the front yard of the county government. The Taishi chairs were removed, and a round table was placed in the center. A variety of dishes are placed on the table.
Four maidservants stood in all directions, ready to come up and serve.
Wu Nian, Guan Jinhan, Huang Hu, Zhao Yanting, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Long Ji, Cheng Yulian and other eight people sat around the round table.
Wu Nian sat on the main seat as a matter of course.
Today, he wears a purple robe and a golden crown on his head, and he is majestic and noble. After these days of cultivation, he has also cultivated enough spirit and spirit, and his face is ruddy.
He wanted to get drunk, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, raised his eyes and said to the brothers and subordinates in front of him, "Brothers. This battle can be described as a twist and turn. But the results were encouraging. ”
"Goguryeo, which was fought in World War I, is half disabled, and I am afraid that I will never dare to cross the Yalu River again. There are 5 prefectures and 32 counties in Liaodong, and now there are 5 prefectures and 26 counties, which are in my hands. ”
"There are six counties left, is it still far away?"
"He Dasheng."
After that, Wu Nian picked up the wine bowl with both hands, and drank it cleanly when he looked up to the sky. It's spirits.
The liquor is in the throat like a fire.
Just like the mood of Wu Nian now.
Enthusiasm is like fire, and if you don't get drunk today, you won't return.
"He Dasheng."
Everyone did not hesitate, celebrated together, and also raised their heads to drink.
The atmosphere was immediately hot.
