Qi Ning immediately stepped forward to help a general up and said with a smile: "Everyone gets up, don't be so polite."
The generals then stood up, and a long table had been placed in the big tent, which was pieced together with several long tables. The big tent was very wide, and it was no problem to place the dining table.
Qi Ning and Wu Dalin were arranged under the main seat in the middle. Han Yu sat on the right head of Qi Ning, Qi Feng sat on the lower head of Han Yu, and others also sat on the same seat.
The table was filled with dishes on a large plate. Qi Ning glanced at it and found that most of the plate were meat and vegetables. Except for beef and mutton, there were fish and shrimps, which looked really bad, but there was a scent of appetite floating in the tent. Han Yu had already smiled and said, "Marquis, there is nothing good in the military camp. At this time, everyone put together temporarily. These fish and shrimps were all salvaged from the river before. They were very shabby. Don't be surprised by Marquis."
Qi Ning laughed and said, "To be honest, these things have greatly boosted my appetite." But I remembered that in my previous life, I was eating meat with a group of brothers around the plate of meat. The scene was extremely similar to this one.
"If the Marquis likes it, then you can't ask for it." Han Yu smiled and said, "Come on, come and have a drink!"
The soldiers came in from outside the tent and brought a few jars of wine in, and placed them at the hands of Qi Ning and other delegations. However, none of the generals of the Chu army were released.
Qi Ning glanced at him and said strangely: "Han Yu, this!"
"Marty, there are strict orders in the army. Unless it is a celebration wine for victory, no one can drink a drop of wine on weekdays." Han Yu said solemnly: "This rule was set since the old Marquis was there. For many years, no one dared to destroy it. There was no victory today, so this rule cannot be broken, but the Marquis does not have to be taboo about it."
Qi Ning thought that the Qinhuai Legion had strict military regulations and asked, "Then do you eat meat or not?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers came in from outside the tent, carrying the iron bucket, and there was still heat in it. Han Yu smiled, picked up a large bowl in front of him, got up and scooped half of the bowl in the iron bucket, and the other generals also scooped the bowls. Han Yu returned to the table and smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, if you eat meat on weekdays, you will use the water of the Huai River as wine. These are the river water taken from the Huai River. It is boiled hot, and you can eat meat, which is a unique taste."
Qi Ning nodded and ordered: "Remove all the wine jars."
Everyone was stunned, but saw that Qi Ning had already gotten up, picked up the big bowl in front of him, scooped a bowl of hot water, and returned to the seat. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he laughed and said, "I'll try this Huaihe River water too, I won't drink this wine today."
Han Yu hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, you must not do this. This is the river water, not clean, you!"
"I drink it naturally, I can drink it too." Qi Ning rolled up her sleeves without saying a word and said, "I am not as precious as you think." She actually took a piece of meat in her hand, took a bite, and ate it big, and said, "Who is this chef? She has good skills, it's the taste I want."
Everyone looked at each other.
Although Qi Ning is the seed of Jinyi Qi's family, the generals of the Qinhuai Legion have a sense of awe of the Jinyi Qi's family from the bottom of their hearts, when they see Qi Ning's Jinyi and jade belt, they feel that the young marquis is pampered and will never endure hardships. Moreover, the Qinhuai Legion has some understanding of the Qi family, especially Han Yu and others. They know that since the birth of the Qi family, the prince of the Qi family has been a little unsatisfied. They have been raised in the Marquis's Mansion since childhood and have not been in the army for a day.
However, when he saw that Qi Ning was not arrogant and easy-going, he was really eating meat in a big mouthful of water. He was not as particular as other noble children. He just grabbed the meat with his hands and ate it. He was surprised and was amazed. He saw that Qi Ning ate a piece of meat in a blink of an eye, and picked up the water bowl and took a big sip, which made him silent.
Qi Ning put down the water bowl, saw everyone looking at him, laughed and said, "Why do you think I am in Zhangda, the Marquis' Mansion, and I can't bear the hardships? There are fish, meat, and boiled river water here. This is not a pain. How many people can't bear such hardships. Don't be idle, eat it!"
Everyone saw that the little marquis was so free and easy. They were worried about whether the military camp was a bit crude. At this time, the worries disappeared. Everyone laughed and reached out to grab the meat to eat.
Everyone present, except Qi Ning, had almost been in the army and was not polite. For a moment, they were coming and going, drinking water as wine, and drinking, and eating each other was full of oil.
After eating a fish, Qi Ning put down the fish bones and asked, "Han Yu, what happened to Ji Risong, the Eastern Qi army just now?"
Han Yu put down the flesh in his hand and smiled and said, "A soldier is a soldier, and a general is a nest. Marquis, in fact, the Eastern Qi army was not like this before. The general who guarded the border was called Cheng Wu. He had some skills and strict military discipline, but since the Taishan King came, the Eastern Qi army has been less than a day."
"King of Taishan?"
Han Yu explained: "The king of Dongqi has three sons and two daughters, and the eldest son is the king of Taishan. The second son was appointed the crown prince of Dongqi, and the third son, the king of Linzi, was still young. Two years ago, the king of Taishan was transferred to Xuzhou, and Cheng Wu was submissive to the king of Taishan. However, Cheng Wu bowed to the king of Taishan and obeyed the orders. He would do whatever the king of Taishan said."
A general next to him smiled and said, "After King Taishan arrived in Xuzhou, he always had to show his ability, so he changed many military rules. Cheng Wu dared not speak much. As far as we know, the King Taishan King was stubborn and killed someone immediately if someone said his fault. If he said something good in his ear, he could use it no matter what kind of person he was. Many people privately called the King Taishan King the King. As long as he flattered, he would rise to the top."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "There is still this?"
"The Jiangling on the other side is called Meng Jiaozhou, an unknown person." Han Yu said: "The Meng family is a wealthy family in Xuzhou, with a wealth of wealth. After the Taishan King arrived in Xuzhou, the Meng family not only offered a large number of operations, but also Meng Jiaozhou dedicated his own sister to the Taishan King. Without saying a word, the Taishan King directly asked him to lead the army on the border. After Meng Jiaozhou arrived, he had no talent to command the army. He often brought his soldiers nearby to show off his power, and the Dongqi army had even loose military discipline!" Shaking his head, then smiled and said: "But this is a good thing. The Dongqi people are mediocre and in front of us, they are like a sheep."
Qi Ning frowned and said, "Will the King of Mount Tai be heard and asked about Meng Jiaozhou's actions?"
"Mr. Marquis, it is said that the King of Taishan is always funny and sent people to search for beauties in Xuzhou." Han Yu said: "Xuzhou is in chaos, and he can't even control himself. How can he have time to manage Meng Jiaozhou? Besides, Meng Jiaozhou's girl looks beautiful and is very popular with Taishan King. If Meng Jiaozhou really has something to do, his girl will just say something casually in Taishan King's ear, and it will turn big things into small things."
Wu Dalin said: "When tens of thousands of troops of the Northern Han attacked Dongqi, the people of the Eastern Qi Dynasty were full of fighting spirit and resilience. Not only did they not take advantage of the Northern Han people, but they caused the Northern Han people to suffer a great loss. After that war, they had been peaceful for many years." A faint smile said: "It is not a good thing for many years. I don't think of danger in times of peace. Now the people of the Eastern Qi Dynasty think that they are good at everything. The Northern Han and our Great Chu dare not treat him. The military discipline is relaxed. If this continues, it will sooner or later lead to great suffering."
"The Dongqi Navy should be pretty good." Han Yu said: "The Dongqi Navy warships occasionally appear on the Huai River, but they cannot control the Dongqi infantry and cavalry."
"The King of Taishan is the eldest son, why was he sent to Xuzhou?" Qi Ning asked: "Is the King of Taishan the eldest son a? "Is this King of Taishan the eldest son?"
Han Yu said: "The King of Taishan and the Prince of Dongqi were born together, and they were indeed the eldest son. However, as far as I know, the King of Taishan has always been absurd and moody. The court officials of the Dongqi Kingdom hated and feared him. However, the Prince of Dongqi was very popular, so it was natural that King of Taishan was demoted to Xuzhou."
A general sneered: "The King of Taishan arrived in Xuzhou and his character remained unchanged. If this continues, he will be in great trouble sooner or later."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, thoughtful, and then smiled and said, "Forget it, we're all gathering today, let's not talk about this anymore, come and eat meat!"
Although the welcome banquet for Qining was very simple, everyone was very happy. After eating and drinking, Han Yu asked someone to clean up the big tent and invite Qining to rest in the big tent for one night.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, so there was no need to rush to cross the river.
Early the next morning, Han Yu had already asked someone to prepare a ship early, send the delegation across the river, leave the military camp, and reach the edge of the Dehuai River. Qi Ning looked down at it from high to overlook the river, and saw the river water surging from west to east. There were more than twenty ships prepared on the river surface. Without the need for the delegation's people to do it, Han Yu had already sent people to unload the cargo from the car and ship it onto the ship.
The ship was only small and big, but it was more than enough to transport the delegation. Everything was ready. All the generals bid farewell on the shore, while Han Yu led dozens of soldiers on board to send Qining across the river.
When the ship arrived on the other side, he did not see any reaction from the other side. When the car was sent ashore and the goods were loaded, he heard the sound of horse hooves. A team of Dongqi soldiers appeared not far away. When he saw the team, soldiers shouted loudly: "No, the Chu people are fighting, the Chu people are fighting!" The team of Dongqi soldiers did not even dare to approach, so they turned around and left.
Yesterday, Qi Ning heard the crowd that the military discipline of the Eastern Qi army was loose and there was not a deep feeling. At this time, I saw that the Eastern Qi cavalry didn't even dare to get close, so I turned around and left. I was stunned for a moment, thinking that such an army really had no combat power. Compared with the Southern Chu army on the other side, it was a difference.
Han Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, you see, let's get a nest of bears. After Meng Jiaozhou came, the people of Dongqi became even less courageous than mice."
Qi Ning sighed and said softly: "Han Yu, no matter what the people of Dongqi are, you must not be careless and paralyzed at the front line."
