The folk customs in the northwest are rough. Yang Hao wants to integrate into this environment. As a commander-in-chief, he cannot always appear elegant, especially at the wine table. Being so polite is very disappointing, so he invited a few
After the wife returned to the inner house, the banquet was served like a stream of wine. Yang Hao relaxed his mind, chatted and laughed with his brothers, and solicited drinks diligently. The atmosphere became more and more lively under the promotion of both host and guest.
After thirty years of drinking and five delicious dishes, eight strong men carried a huge roasted whole cow to the stage. The whole cow was roasted red and the aroma filled the air. Yang Hao raised his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, my five brothers
With my eldest brother as my leader, I will ask my eldest brother to make the first cut of this important dish."
Zhe Yuxun really wanted to make the first move, but he was eager to give it a try. Thinking of Yang Hao's powerful strength that he had not fully demonstrated so far, he finally gave up. He threw his beard and said with a smile: "For today's banquet, the third child is the landlord.
It’s up to you to come as you please.”
"If the elders and younger ones are in order, it's up to the elder brother to take action."
The two were humble and polite. In fact, they were using this tactful way to test each other's attitude in future cooperation and decide who would take the lead in the alliance between the new San Francisco and the Iron Triangle in the future. This intention was not only Taiwanese.
The civil and military officials below saw it clearly. Even Chi Bangsong understood that whoever made the first cut on such a grand occasion was not as simple as eating a bite of beef, so they just watched with bulging eyes and did not interrupt.
The two of them gave in for a long time, and Yang Chongxun laughed and said: "This cow is roasting and the meat is so fragrant. I, Old Yang, have already salivated with saliva. If you keep apologizing like this, no one else can eat it. Isn't it making people anxious?"
No matter who is going to cut it, as long as this fat cow enters our belly, what difference does it make? In my opinion, the third child is a landlord in Luzhou, so it is better for you to cut it."
Yang Hao couldn't resist, so he could only say with a smile: "Well, if you agree, then I will make the first cut." He pulled out a knife specially used for cutting meat from his waist and stepped forward.
Fan Siqi frowned slightly as he watched from the side seat, and said worriedly: "Such compliments from Commander Zhe and Yang may not be all out of good intentions. Don't you think that the trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them, so why should Commander Zhe and Yang steal this glory?"
Lin Yuyu said with a smile: "Brother Fan is too worried. The two commanders Zhe and Yang have been a vassal in the northwest for a long time. They have a deep foundation and a far-reaching reputation. Although my commander-in-chief showed his military power today, he cannot compare with them in terms of power and status.
If you can become the leader of San Francisco, you will have to bear endless dangers, but you can also quickly gain the reputation of being a commander. In this place in the northwest, whoever has a strong fist will be the boss. Only heroes from all over the world will follow the situation. This move of commander-in-chief
, you may not suffer a loss.”
Fan Siqi knew that with his knowledge and skills, he was quite expert in handling internal affairs and managing the economy. As for these aspects, he was far less lively than the old guy Lin Yuyu, so he stopped talking.
Yang Hao cut off the cow's ears with his own hands and brought them to Zhe Yuxun on a plate. He also picked up the tender buttock meat and cut off a piece for the second, fourth and fifth boys with his own hands, and then let others cut up the whole cow.
The cook cuts the beef with only a thin knife in his hand. He does not chop or chop, and moves the knife like flying. There is a maid underneath to hold the plate. Pieces of fat, tender, bright red, and fragrant roast beef fall on the plate one after another.
, and then distributed them to the banquet tables.
After roasting the whole beef until divided, Zhe Yuxun, Yang Chongxun, and Yang Hao, the five newly sworn brothers, raised their glasses together and went down the stone steps to toast to the three party officials one by one. After the round of toasts, Yang Hao was the weakest drinker.
, his face was flushed and his eyes were blurry with drunkenness.
After returning to the table and sitting for a while, Yang Hao stood up, apologized to the brothers, and went to the back. Chibangsong was addicted to wine and did not need anyone to persuade him. He drank a glass of wine and drank it dry, just like drinking a cow.
, at this time, he also felt that his abdomen was bloated, and he hurriedly shouted: "Third brother, wait for Chi Bangsong to go too."
Chi Bangsong jumped up and left with Yang Hao. Ono Ke'er rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Big brother, second brother, I'm too drunk, so I'll go and make myself comfortable. I'll come back as soon as I go." After that, he jumped up and chased after him.
Went.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Yang Chongxun turned slightly to Zhe Yuxun and whispered: "Brother Shilong, the force shown by Yang Hao today is shocking. However, Luzhou was only founded two years ago, and its foundation is still shallow.
, do you think... can he have the power to compete with Xiazhou?"
Zhe Yuxun stroked his beard and said: "I heard that Xiazhou is so powerful. You and I have fought against it for many years, so we should be well aware of it. Even Tubo and Uighur have been fighting endless battles with them, and they seem to be invincible. But if you and I are like this,
When we join the war and use all our troops, it will still be a no-win situation at best. Why? Just because now, in the battle between Xiazhou and Tubo and Uighur, not only are seven of the eight clans of Dangxiang standing by, but even the nobles of the Tuoba clan are watching.
There are also many people who have never contributed to Xiazhou. You can imagine the strength of Xiazhou's military force. Today, the northwest is actually dominated by party items. Whether you or I admit this, it will not change this fact. Don't look at them.
There are often internal battles. If we send troops and there is a risk of destroying Xiazhou, all the party tribes will definitely rush to help Xiazhou, but Yang Hao is different..."
He took a sip of wine and said with a faint smile: "So what two years? Back then Zhang Yichao rebelled with a commoner pulling a flag, one bird flew up, and hundreds of birds followed. In just one year, he occupied Guasha Eleven Continent like a wind and a cloud.
Becoming the king of the northwest is nothing more than luck. Now that two decades have passed, the fortune of the northwest...has fallen on Yang Hao. The only one who has the hope of competing with Xiazhou is Yang Hao. This is his destiny.
.”
Yang Chongxun's eyes flashed and he asked shrewdly: "Why do all the Dangxiang ministries rush to help Xiazhou when we take action, but Yang Hao doesn't have such scruples when we take action?"
Zhe Yuxun laughed and said: "Come on, drink, drink."
Yang Chongxun said displeasedly: "Brother Shilong, you and I have known each other for many years. We have always made progress together and shared weal and woe. Is there anything you want to hide from me?"
Zhe Yuxun looked at him and said with a smile: "Zhong Wen, where did you start talking about this? Oh... I remembered it when you said it. When we came, you didn't say you wanted to sworn sworn friends with Yang Hao.
Zhong Wen and I have always advanced and retreated together, sharing weal and woe, but why did this idea suddenly occur to me and caught my brother off guard?"
Yang Chongxun's old face turned red and he said sarcastically: "This... was really a last-minute idea, before I discussed it with Brother Shilong. In fact, what I meant was that the three of us were sworn brothers, and I never wanted to exclude you, Brother Shilong."
Zhe Yuxun laughed and said: "In that case, Lao Zhe has misunderstood you. Come on, come on, drink, drink."
After drinking a glass of wine, Zhe Yuxun stretched out his beard and suddenly remembered something. He raised his head and asked, "Hey, Zhongwen, your younger sister...is already married?"
"ah?"
Yang Chongxun raised his head blankly: "I'm married. We got married last fall. Didn't you get a generous gift along with it? Why do you suddenly ask me about it today?"
Zhe Yuxun beamed: "It's good to get married, it's good to get married. By the way, how old is your daughter...how old is she this year?"
Yang Chongxun was even more confused: "My daughter is only seven years old this year. Why...don't you want to marry me, right? Your third child is seventeen this year, right? He's a bit older. The fourth child seems to be the same age as my daughter, but...
It matches well..."
Zhe Xunyu laughed loudly and said happily: "Only seven years old? Then don't worry, it's still very early. Come, come, have a drink."
Yang Chongxun raised the bowl inexplicably and drank another large bowl of stupid wine, which made him even more confused.
However, Zhe Yuxun was very proud. After drinking a bowl of wine, he subconsciously looked down the steps, only to see that the place where the younger sister was standing was empty. He couldn't help but be startled: "After such a while, where has Ziyu been?"
?”
Yang Hao was untying his hands. Chi Bangsong looked at him furtively. Yang Hao turned his head and asked curiously: "Lao Wu, what are you doing?"
Chi Bangsong waved his hand quickly: "Nothing, nothing, hehe..."
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Brother can't bear to drink, but the fifth brother can drink a lot. Later, you can drink a few more glasses with the eldest brother and the second brother, and persuade the third brother to drink."
"It makes it."
Chi Bangsong hurriedly agreed, and Yang Hao pouted toward the door and said, "The water in that wooden bucket can be used to clean your hands. You can go ahead."
"Okay, okay."
Chi Bangsong hurriedly ran to the door of the hut, opened the lid of the wooden barrel, washed his hands, and ran out with his hands tied. As soon as he walked around a bush of lilacs, he saw Ono Keer running towards him. Chi Bangsong
He stepped forward and grabbed him, shouting excitedly: "Fourth, third, second, and second are the boss."
"What?"
Ono Ko'er didn't understand what he was saying at all. Suddenly she saw his hands were wet. Ono Ko'er screamed and jumped up: "Wow! How much wine did you drink? Why did it all spill on your hands?"
Chi Bangsong said with a smile: "This is water, not urine. I just cleaned my hands."
Xiaoye Ke'er felt relieved and waved: "Then you go to the front to accompany the boss and the second child, and I will go and make it easier."
After Ono Ke'er said that, she walked towards the hut. Chibang Song scratched his head and mumbled as he walked to the moon door. He looked around and saw that no one was there. He looked under his crotch, feeling ashamed and envious at the same time.
: "Why am I so far behind compared to the third child? I'm obviously stronger than him, but I'm nowhere near as strong as him. The master said that people can't be equal in appearance. It's so clear and reasonable."
As soon as Chi Bangsong finished speaking, Miss Zhuyun appeared like a ghost and asked with a smile: "What is so strong?"
Chi Bangsong was startled and screamed: "Ghost."
Miss Zhuyun was annoyed, she raised her leg and kicked him on the butt: "What the hell are you doing? Is Taiwei Yang in there?"
Chi Bangsong was so frightened that his face turned pale. He took a closer look and saw that the girl in front of him had picturesque features and a curvy figure. She really did not look like an evil ghost. Besides, in broad daylight..., he finally calmed down and said: "Yes.
...Yes, Lao...Lao San is inside."
As soon as Chi Bangsong finished speaking, Miss Zhuyun disappeared again. Chi Bangsong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped three feet and shouted: "There is really a ghost!" He took a big step and flew away.
He seemed to have escaped.
Ono Ko'er walked around the lilac bush and met Yang Hao coming out of it waving his hands. Ono Ko'er stepped forward to meet him and shouted hurriedly: "Young Master!"
When Yang Hao saw him, he smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Lao Si, since you and I are sworn brothers, we are brothers with different surnames. If you call me young master, why not call me third brother? It sounds kind. From now on, no matter who is in front or behind, you
I only call him brother."
Ono Ke'er took a look and saw another big wet handprint on his shoulder. This time, his robe became their hand towel, which was a bit of a disadvantage. But he had no time to care about it at this time and just asked: "
Third brother, are we going to attack Yinzhou again this time?"
Yang Hao nodded and said: "Yes, things have priorities. Xiazhou can't take action to deal with me now, so I won't rush to deal with him. King Qing's son Yeluwen died in my hands, even if I don't go to find Qing
The king is unlucky. As long as he knows that I have returned to Luzhou, he will definitely come to deal with me. If I fight with Xiazhou first, I am afraid that King Qing will seize my hometown. Besides, the cunning rabbit still has three holes and wants to fight with Xiazhou.
, how can there be only one Luzhou in this foundation place? The city of Yinzhou is steep and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. If I can get it, I will have no worries. The top priority is to capture Yinzhou first."
Ono Ke'er geared up and said: "In this case, young master... Third brother must let Ono Ke'er take the lead."
Yang Hao stared at him and smiled: "Why, are you willing to obey my orders now?"
Xiaoye Keer's face turned red, but he puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Not now, when the third brother built the plank road secretly, crossed Chencang secretly, conquered seven strongholds in Yinzhou, attacked and killed Li Jiqian and his son, and stirred up Xiazhou and Tubo Uighurs
During the war, Ono Ke'er was convinced by her third brother that you are the brave, resourceful and capable hero. Ono Ke'er... just like Chen Mo'er said, you are just a foolhardy common man who can
It is difficult to be a general if you are a pawn on the horse."
Yang Hao laughed and said: "You don't have to belittle yourself, you have practiced everything. How can you know that you will not be the commander-in-chief of one side in the future?"
Ono Ke'er said happily: "So, third brother agrees?"
Yang Hao nodded: "Don't worry, you can fight the battle, but not now. Now, I, Luzhou, will not move. I will let all the grass and trees in Yinzhou fight. By the way... you and Chen Mo'er... haven't finished yet."
Are you kissing me?"
Xiaoye Ke'er was very happy when she heard that there was a battle to be fought. She rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "We are already married, and she gave birth to a daughter for me."
Yang Hao said happily: "Haha, you are so quick, congratulations, congratulations."
Xiaoye Ke'er smiled shyly and said: "Hey, I gave birth to a little girl, what can I say to congratulate you? When she gives birth to a big fat son for me, I will invite my third brother to have a wedding banquet."
Yang Hao chuckled and said: "It's a deal! Don't be anxious about leading the troops. Just stay calm for the time being. This time to attack Yinzhou, I will use the men and horses of the Dangxiang Seventh Clan. I will use a dozen of them in Yinzhou City."
Come down, let's show our chess numbers and fight with Xiazhou with open swords and guns."
Ono Keer's face flushed with excitement, but she nodded repeatedly. Yang Hao smiled and said, "Are you relieved now? Okay, I'll go back to the front first."
Yang Hao walked around the lilac bush, and suddenly there was a snapping sound in the forest on the left. Yang Hao looked towards the sound with vigilance, and saw a piece of bark falling to the ground. Yang Hao walked leisurely, and when he entered the forest, he was dressed in green clothes.
The girl Zhuyun floated down from the tree like a fallen leaf...
