"General An is better than my father. That should be due to his master's teachings. In addition, the general himself has a good understanding and studies hard." One of He Zexu's more active subordinates praised, while standing up and raising his wine to Master Xiao An.
cup.
Everyone likes to hear nice words. Even if it is in a flattering tone, Xiao An, the master and the apprentice, are still very considerate, picking up the wine and tea cups in front of them and drinking.
He Zexu also picked up the wine cup and stood up, walked directly to Xiao An, and said, "The King of Japan will definitely repay you for your help today."
Looking at his father right in front of him, Xiao An's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up again. He thought to himself that father and son don't need to be so exposed.
"Ahem." Leng Wujian Xiao An was distracted and did not respond, so he coughed again to remind him.
Xiao An came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure again. He turned around and picked up the tea cup on the table: "Your Majesty, there is no need for repayment. As long as we don't become enemies in the future." After that, he also imitated the adults.
It is always respectful to do what comes first.
Haha, this guy is pretty good. Let’s lay the groundwork first. Leng Wuyi was very satisfied with this apprentice, and he was even more satisfied with the wine in King Ji’s military camp.
However, after hearing Xiao An's words, several people on King Ji's side felt inexplicably that something was wrong.
Does this young general's words imply that the two sides will be hostile in the future? Or is it now? But they themselves don't know it.
Several people looked at their prince in unison. Everyone close to him knew that what he hated most was when others tricked him, threatened him, and played tricks on him.
However, there was no hint of displeasure on his face.
Xiao An and Leng Wuyi both looked at King Ji, waiting for his response.
This sounds very simple, but in fact, it is not so easy to make a decision on the spot.
After all, up to now, we only know that the major general leading the army is named An, and it is not clear which country the others belong to.
In fact, when they returned from the battlefield, the military advisor had already arranged for people to investigate, but the results would not come so quickly. In addition, they also arranged for the soldiers to take the opportunity to entertain the opponent's soldiers and horses to see if they could detect anything.
valuable clues.
As for the prince, he is a man who keeps his word and keeps his promises. If he agrees to General An's request now, what should he do if he is really hostile in the future?
Although General An is young, he is very clever. He didn't even tell him the details, but made him promise not to be an enemy in the future!
Several people felt that these people suddenly appeared at the place where the two armies were fighting this time and would take action. Their original purpose may be to trick them deliberately. They owed such a huge favor that the prince could not refuse it on the spot.
"It's really hard to make a decision. Your Majesty, let's just pretend that I didn't say anything. Then hurry up and eat. I'll go back after eating." Xiao An didn't wait for his father's promise, and felt very uncomfortable.
However, if you think about it if you consider the issue from the other party's point of view, you will really embarrass them.
Forget it, anyway, his father saw him, talked to him, and ate at the same table. Xiao An felt that his trip this time was not in vain.
As for whether this father really leads troops to recapture the three cities of Xuzhou in the future, let's wait and see what happens.
No matter what, he can't fight with his father. Father and son will kill each other. Xiao An feels that he can't do it.
Moreover, when Xiao An met his father in person this time, his impression of him was quite good.
There is not much difference from the portrait hidden in my mother's study. The man is tall and heroic, and he is brave enough to kill the enemy in battle.
According to her mother's scoring standards, Xiao An felt that she could give her father a ninety-point score. A ten-point score would mean that he was not decisive enough in handling matters.
"Okay, I, He Zexu, swear to God that I will never be your enemy, General An, in the future." Just when Xiao An comforted himself in his heart and gave his father an impression score, his father spoke.
His voice was loud and his expression was resolute. At first glance, it was clear that he was not making casual or embarrassing remarks.
This reply not only surprised Master and Disciple Xiao An, but also King Ji's own subordinates were also surprised.
Oh my god, what happened to the prince this time? Is it because he owed the other party a huge favor, so he agreed regardless of it? He even swore an oath!
But, having said that, the favor I owe others this time is huge!
If they hadn't taken action today, the situation of the battle would have been obvious. The prince and all the soldiers would either die on the battlefield, or they would retreat. The retreat would not mean retreating to the military camp, but retreating into the country. If they kept pursuing the victory, they would be unable to stop them.
Just keep retreating.
To the prince, retreating in this situation meant losing the battle and becoming a deserter.
The prince would definitely rather die in battle. The revenge of the prince, mother and concubine has been avenged, and so has his own revenge, and he has also sent troops to help the country quell the wars in various places.
The person that the prince liked died tragically in the Duanhun River twelve years ago, and has not taken a wife or concubine since then. For the prince, there seems to be no one in this world that he can care about even with his life.
That's why he has been so desperate in recent years, ignoring the exhausted soldiers and going around to quell rebellions.
Thinking of this, everyone gave up the original plan of giving the master a hint and going out to persuade him to withdraw his promise.
"Prince Ji, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. We did this voluntarily. We really didn't mean to blackmail you into making a promise. This general just said it casually." Xiao An's voice was full of emotion.
An excitement he didn't feel himself.
However, He Zexu felt it clearly.
When he didn't reply earlier, the look on the young general's face wasn't contempt, but disappointment.
For some reason, He Zexu felt very uncomfortable when he saw the child's disappointed expression on him. So, without thinking about the appropriate response, He Zexu made an oath and made a promise.
Sure enough, after making the promise, the young general was very excited and happy.
Although he still didn’t know the true identity of this young general and where the thousands of soldiers and horses outside came from, anyway, He Zexu could determine one thing from the clear eyes of this young general. This young general was trustworthy.
people.
"Since I have made a promise, I must keep my word. Let's use food. Since the war, the military camp has not been able to prepare better food for hospitality. I don't know what kind of food General An likes. If there is a chance in the future,
I will prepare a good banquet for General An again." After making the promise, He Zexu was in a good mood when he saw the young general's happy reaction.
The little general's smile gave him a sense of familiarity, making him feel physically and mentally comfortable, and he couldn't help but want to get close to him.
"There's a war going on. This is already a lot of food. I, the general, like to eat sweet and sour fish." When Xiao An was happy, he talked more and relaxed.
