120. Hold a celebration feast
"Who are you?"
"Hurry up and let me go!"
"I have a lot of gold and silver treasures, as long as you let me go, I will never treat you badly!"
Shao Hongyuan naturally didn't know the masked general in front of him.
"Humph...!"
"Shao Hongyuan, you beast, I, Li Xianzhong, will not let you go!"
"Shao Hongyuan, can't you even hear General Ben's voice?"
Li Mingzhong said, unmasking himself.
"You... You're not dead? ”
"...... you?"
After Shao Hongyuan saw Li Xianzhong in front of him again, everyone was shocked.
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end!"
"You thief is not dead, how can I, Li Xianzhong, die?"
"But let me tell you, my name is Li Mingzhong now, and the 'Ming' of the Ming Dynasty is no longer called Li Xianzhong!"
Li Mingzhong said, lifting Shao Hongyuan's collar with one hand.
"Lee... General Li Mingzhong! ”
"Before, it was small, and it was also at the behest of that faint monarch Zhao Gou, that... That's why I offended you, the general! ”
"General Zhu, you return to Lin'an, everything is the will of the faint king!"
"The will of the faint king!"
"Please let me go, General!"
"Leave me alone!"
"Please let me go!"
Shao Hongyuan was so frightened that his soul was almost gone.
"Spare you?"
"Did you let me go?"
"Aren't you instructed by the faint king to slander me, Li Xianzhong, as a thief who collaborates with the enemy?"
"Today, I, Li Mingzhong, join Daming as you wish!"
"Actually, I, Li Mingzhong, would like to thank you for your success, without you, I, Li Xianzhong, would not have met such a good monarch as our Majesty!"
"I originally gave you all the pain you inflicted on Li Mingzhong that day, but now I'm not angry, I'm not angry!"
"Haha... Ha ha! ”
Li Mingzhong said, and after letting go of this Shao Hongyuan, he laughed.
Ruzhou City.
"Your Majesty, General Li Mingzhong and the others have already arrived not far outside Ruzhou City!"
A soldier came to report to Xu Xian.
"Really?"
"They're back!"
"Good!"
"Everyone follow me and immediately go to meet General Li Mingzhong!"
When Xu Xian heard the news, he was naturally very excited.
After all, this battle of Guangchengguan achieved a great victory over the Song army, almost eliminating one of the most elite troops of the Song army.
and got the famous generals Li Mingzhong and Ma Yu and others to join, which is naturally a great situation for the future situation of Xu Xian Daming's regime.
"General Lee!"
"I'm finally waiting for your return!"
"It's all up to you, the general, to achieve such a big victory this time!"
After Xu Xian left the city, when he saw Li Mingzhong coming back, he also walked over quickly to greet him.
"Where!"
"Where...!"
"Everything is thanks to Your Majesty and the blessings of the soldiers!"
Li Mingzhong seemed very modest.
"General Li has worked hard!"
"The soldiers have worked hard!"
"Let's go, let's go into Ruzhou City and have a drink!"
So Xu Xian led a group of generals into Ruzhou City and held a banquet again.
As for the soldiers outside the city, Xu Xian did not snub them, but ordered someone to move out a large number of fine wines that had already been prepared in the city, and found a large number of kabuki music from Luoyang, and performed for these soldiers outside the city.
"General Li, you are the first to take the lead in this battle!"
"This first glass of wine, all of us will give you General Li!"
At the banquet, Xu Xian first led someone to give Li Mingzhong a toast.
"Where... Where! ”
"The soldiers have all merits, and they all have them!"
"But this time, the biggest credit should be Ma Yuma's hero!"
"If it weren't for Ma Yingying's shot, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to catch that thief Shao Hongyuan!"
Li Mingzhong finished drinking and turned his eyes to Ma Yu's table.
"Thank you Ma Hero this time!"
"Thank you Horse Hero!"
"Everyone join me in a toast to the horse heroes!"
Xu Xian immediately began to toast Ma Yu again.
"I, Ma, have only done my best, where is it worthy of such importance from Your Majesty and the generals!"
Ma Yu was very modest.
"That's right!"
"Ma Yingying, didn't you keep saying that you wanted to defect to our Majesty, but you didn't vote?"
"This time, you captured Shao Hongyuan, the leader of the Song army, this is a big vote!"
On the side, Yang Poyu held a wine glass and smiled.
"yes!"
"I've heard of Ma Yingying's name a long time ago, and our Ming regime doesn't need any name at all, as long as you believe in me Xu Xian, those who are willing to follow us are all brothers and brothers!"
"Since Ma Yingying has made such a great contribution, I don't know what kind of reward Ma Yingying wants?"
Xu Xian also turned his eyes to Ma Yu not far away.
"How can I, Ma Yu, be the kind of person who cares about rewards, I just like to be able to drive out the Tartars with Your Majesty in the future, and return me to the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, it is enough, enough!"
"As for the reward, I don't need it, I don't need it!"
Ma Yu responded.
"Since Ma Yingying has joined us so sincerely, what do you think of Master Xin?"
Xu Xian asked Xin Qiji on the side.
"In my opinion, Ma Yingying used to have the name of Ma Banzhou in Ninghai, and now this Ruzhou is lacking a prefect, why don't you let Ma Yingying help Your Majesty manage this Ruzhou Mansion for the time being?"
Xin Qizhi is advised.
"Okay!"
"Now that the Song army has been defeated, we can just take the opportunity to recover Tangzhou, Dengzhou and other places, and Ruzhou, as a strategic place connecting Tang, Deng, and the east, is extremely important!"
"Let Ma Yingying come to Ruzhou, of course I'm relieved!"
"I wonder what Ma Yingying thinks?"
Xu Xian asked Ma Yu.
"It's... This I, Ma Yu, just defected to Your Majesty, and handed over Ruzhou to my Ma Yu to manage, which really caught me Ma off guard and caught off guard! ”
"Please be cautious and cautious!"
Ma Yu is very modest.
"It's fine!"
"I believe that Ma Yingying will definitely be able to help me govern this Ruzhou City!"
"Ma Ying, don't shirk it!"
Of course, Xu Xian still values Ma Yu very much in his heart.
"Since Your Majesty has entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility, I can't shirk it anymore!"
"But I have to go back to my hometown in Ninghai before I take up the prefect of Ruzhou, after all, my family is still there!"
Ma Yu agreed.
"Of course it's fine!"
Xu Xian saw that Ma Yu agreed, and he was also very happy in his heart.
"By the way, Your Majesty, since Ma Yingying has already arranged his position!"
"Then what position do you plan to arrange for General Lee?"
On the side, Xin Qiji reminded Xu Xian.
"You said General Lee?"
"Now that we are just short of a captain, why don't we let General Li serve as a lieutenant and control all the soldiers and horses?"
Xu Xian asked everyone.
"Let General Li be the captain, of course it's no problem!"
"But in this way, it may cause the dissatisfaction of the two kings of Qin and Liang who are fighting against the Song army!"
Xin Qiji is also outspoken.
"yes!"
"I, Li, have just surrendered to Your Majesty, how can I hold such an important position as a lieutenant?"
"So please be cautious!"
Of course, Li Mingzhong also understands the internal situation of Xu Xian's current rule.
