The dinner was also directly set up in the banquet hall of the palace, and in addition to the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, the banquet was attended by military and political dignitaries near Ningxia.

Xu Guangzuogui is the Duke of Dingguo, and he is also the chief military officer of this expedition, and his status is respected, so he naturally sits in the chief.

King An is the king of the Ming Dynasty, and the general logistics dispatch of this war is naturally sitting in the second seat.

The rest of the people were lined up from Wei Bin, Min Yushi, Jiang Han and others in turn.

Originally, above this chairman, there should be no position for Zilong.

It's just that Zilong is the first contributor to this battle, and he was promoted by Xu Guangzuo and King An, and the last seat was given to Zilong.

After sitting down, Xu Guangzuo first made an impromptu speech, celebrating the triumph of the expedition and the repulsion of Ordos.

Then he pushed the wine cup, greeted King An and said to everyone: "Although the first merit of this battle is in Xu Zilong's guerrilla! But the first merit of grain and grass mobilization and material transportation is in His Royal Highness King An, everyone will join me today to give His Royal Highness a drink!"

All the civil and military officers were naturally knowledgeable, and they all picked up their wine glasses, stood up, and toasted in unison: "Your Royal Highness the Subordinate King Jing'an!"

Even Zilong stood up with a smile on his face and respected King An.

King An smiled, nodded, and said: "I am just transporting grain and grass in the rear, and there is really no risk! Everyone can sit here today to celebrate the achievement, but it is because Xu Guogong came with the soldiers of the Northern Expedition and fought bloodily! If you want me to say, this glass of wine should be honored to Xu Guogong and all your comrades who came down from the battlefield!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience felt that they deeply agreed.

Xu Guangzuo nodded with a smile when he heard this, and said: "You respect me, I respect you, but it is too polite! Since it is said that we are coming down from the battlefield, then everyone should be happy and drink this cup to the full!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Guangzuo directly drank the wine in the cup.

When King An and the others saw it, they all drank the wine in their hands, and then they all sat down.

In this way, the banquet can be regarded as the official beginning.

Generals and officials at all levels began to look for reasons and changed ways to toast Shangguan.

Basically, the toast between King An and Xu Guangzuo has not been broken.

However, everyone knows that when toasting, they drank all the wine in their hands, just to let King An and Xu Guangzuo taste it.

After a few rounds, Zilong finally seized the opportunity, raised his glass to Xu Guangzuo and said: "Xu Guogong, my subordinates toast you! If it weren't for Lord Guogong giving his subordinates a chance, I'm afraid that my subordinates wouldn't have today's first achievement!"

Although Xu Guangzuo's original purpose was not to make meritorious contributions to Zilong, Zilong was able to take advantage of the situation, and finally achieved an outstanding feat, and the origin can be regarded as Xu Guangzuo.

Therefore, when Xu Guangzuo heard what Zilong said, he smiled all over his face, picked up his wine glass, and said: "General Xu, your credit today is all your own exchange for a knife and a gun! The old man does not dare to take credit! I only hope that the general can make persistent efforts in the future, guard the frontier for my Ming Dynasty, and prevent the war from coming again! Come, we will drink this cup to the fullest!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Guangzuo, who had been tasting it lightly, drank it all directly, obviously really happy.

Seeing this, Zilong immediately drank the wine in his hand, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and they both sat down.

In this way, between the banquets, the staggered and lively are extraordinary.

After a while, King An, whose face was a little red, pulled Xu Guangzuo and said, "Xu Guogong, this time Ningxia can supply tens of thousands of troops on the front line with the power of one city, and one person has made a great contribution!"

"Oh?" Xu Guangzuo immediately asked, "Who is it, why did His Highness praise him so much, please recommend me to His Highness!"

It's just that this person has also been walking in Beijing before, and Xu Guogong must be a little familiar!"

An Wang said with a chuckle, and then waved behind him, and a thin old man walked up with a square step and a wine glass.

As soon as Zilong saw this person, his face changed unconsciously, and he secretly said in his heart that it was this person recommended by King An.

The man also saw Zilong, and couldn't help but bow his head slightly to Zilong, and then came to Xu Guangzuo's front and said to Xu Guangzuo: "Commoner Ma Degui, I've seen Lord Guogong!"

The person who came was Ma Degui, Xu Guangzuo really knew this person, and when he saw this person coming, he couldn't help but say: "Ah, isn't this Mr. Ma?"

"It's Mr. Ma!" Seeing that Xu Guangzuo was slightly puzzled, King An said happily, "Mr. Ma is loyal, since the last time he was derelict in his duties, he left the capital and went to my Wangfu! After that, I entrusted the business affairs of the palace and Ningxia to Mr. Ma! I didn't want Mr. Ma to be really talented, so he completely clarified these complicated affairs in less than ten days, and then it took another ten days, which doubled the trade volume between Ningxia and the palace and earned a lot of silver taels!" If it weren't for Mr. Ma this time, I really wouldn't have that much energy to raise so many supplies!"

"Mr. Ma is talented!" Hearing that Ma Degui was able to do this in less than a month, Xu Guangzuo was shocked and envious, and said straight in his heart, no wonder this person can become a royal businessman, and he can be given by the emperor, he is really a rare talent.

It's just that this person offended Liu Jin and couldn't stay in Jingshi, so he could only be used by King An, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.

At that moment, Xu Guangzuo picked up his wine glass again and said to Ma Degui: "Mr. Ma can do his best for the country, after I return to Beijing, I will definitely make it clear to Your Majesty for Mr., please Your Majesty will no longer have prejudices against Mr."

"In this way, Ma Mou has thanked Xu Guogong!" Ma Degui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Xu Guangzuo, the hero of this war, was willing to go back to Beijing for himself and say a few kind words to the emperor.

A face full of folds, but they all laughed in one place, obviously very excited.

After the two clashed glasses, they both drank it all in one go.

After Ma Degui and Xu Guangzuo finished drinking, they retreated directly, and before going down, they smiled at Zilong with kindness.

It's just that Zilong is very wary of Ma Degui, although Ma Degui showed some kindness, Zilong only nodded dispensably, and his face did not relax at all.

Seeing this, Ma Degui had to sigh lightly and retreat.

After this wave passed, Xu Guangzuo raised his wine glass again, pointed at Zilong at everyone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first merit of this battle, under the unanimous confirmation of me and Min Yushi and Wei Gonggong, is that Xu Zilong and Xu Guerrilla have been recognized! If this battle had not been for him breaking through behind enemy lines alone, subduing Hetao, and then bringing the Hetao Righteous Army to the west, covering up and killing from behind, I am afraid that the situation would be critical! Therefore, I propose that the big guy join me and give Xu Guerrilla a drink, how about it?"

The bureaucrats in the hall naturally knew that Xu Guangzuo meant to raise Zilong, and Zilong's performance in this battle was indeed remarkable.

It is said that Jingshi has drawn up Zilong's commendation, which will be delivered to Ningxia in the near future.

How could everyone not show a good impression of this upstart, they all raised their wine glasses, and together with Xu Guangzuo, they saluted Zilong and said: "May Xu Guerrilla Wuyun prosper and be undefeated!"

Zilong didn't expect this to suddenly turn to himself, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

and saw that King An and Xu Guangzuo both looked at themselves with a smile on their faces.

Zilong settled down, raised his glass, and said: "The merit of strategizing in this battle belongs to Xu Guogong, Min Yushi, and Wei Gonggong, and it belongs to His Royal Highness King An to raise grain and grass, and to dispatch the law! Kill the enemy in battle, break the formation and kill the generals, when it belongs to all the generals here, I, Xu Zilong, am just a member of Xu Guogong's generals, and it is only because Xu Guogong commands the law that this victory is achieved! Therefore, we must respect the big guy and Xu Guogong!"

These words naturally got the approval of the big guys, and they all picked up their wine glasses and faced Xu Guangzuo.
