Baili Sheng and others poured into Sanshui Pass. Everyone was exhausted, and only now could they relax a little.
They were taken to the general's mansion at the gate of the city. After entering the hall, Baili Sheng knelt down.
"Third brother, please accept my bow."
Baili Wuchang was walking in the clan for the third time. He walked a few steps quickly and helped Baili Sheng up: "Seventh brother, why are you doing this? Please get up quickly."
Baili Sheng shook his head and refused, and raised his hands to the sky: "I am kneeling not for myself, but for my dead brothers. This time Baili Sheng is lucky enough to survive. When he comes back, he will kill all his enemies with swords and swords."
Baili Wuchang patted him on the shoulder: "Get up and talk, coming here is like going home. You have a good rest for a day, and you and I can talk about some things slowly."
Baili Sheng stood up, and then a strong sense of exhaustion came into his heart. He looked back and saw eight hundred remnant soldiers gathered together. Everyone was injured, showing how haggard it was that could not be concealed. But no one fell down. They helped him
Standing with weapons in hand, they are like upright green pines.
Baili Wuchang waved his hand: "Brothers, you have been working hard all the way, so I will prepare drinks and meals with you. You will have a good meal first, rest and regain your strength, and we will make plans for tomorrow."
Still no one said anything, everyone looked at Bailisheng. Bailisheng waved his hand: "Let's rest."
There was a crash, and some of the people could not hold the weapons in their hands. At this moment, the weapons fell from their hands and fell to the ground. By now, everyone was exhausted, and the last bit of their strength was spent trying not to fall.
Then a banquet was held in the house. Baili Wuchang had many people, and the food and wine were placed on the table like a flowing stream. Baili Sheng's men sat on the floor. They had traveled all the way here and were already hungry. At this moment, everyone was no longer restrained and wolfed down the food.
, pouring the wine and meat on the table into his stomach.
Baili Sheng and Baili Wuchang were sitting in front of the hall. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Baili Sheng asked about Baili Sheng's experience. Baili Sheng let out a long sigh and told Song Bokang everything he had done.
At the end of the sentence, he rubbed his teeth until they creaked: "If the person named Song falls into my hands, I will cut him into pieces with knives and eat all his flesh to satisfy the anger in my heart."
Baili Wuchang nodded slightly and said: "I have heard a little about you. Prime Minister Cui fabricated charges against you in the court, and Song Bokang took action against you."
"Third Brother, what do you mean by the General's Mansion? Can't you control the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Bai Lisheng asked. He himself was the thorn in the General's Mansion in Liangzhou. After the incident, he has been unable to contact the General.
The government, what is most concerned about now is the reaction of the general's government.
Baili Wuchang sighed, the entire Baili family was a vassal of the General's Mansion, but the General's Mansion also had the same difficulties as the General's Mansion.
In the bloody battle of Bingzhou, Li Letian, who was supported by the General's Office, became the emperor of the empire. In theory, in this confrontation with the Prime Minister's Office, it was the General's Office that won. Li Letian controlled Jingzhou, and Jingzhou could control the empire, facing south and embracing
Empire.
However, this is only theoretical. Jingzhou is the center of imperial power, and it is also the place where aristocratic families compete most fiercely. Hanoi, Guangling, Runan... many cities are distributed with many forces. Some of these aristocratic families are affiliated with the General's Mansion, and some are affiliated with the Prime Minister.
In order to smoothly inherit the throne, Li Letian had to give up part of his interests to satisfy the greed of these aristocratic families.
He, the powerful emperor, was completely trapped in the quagmire of family disputes and could not spare any energy to deal with government affairs. He was full of ambition but weak in power. He, the supreme emperor, was no more than a puppet on the stage.
Bailisheng also understood the situation in Chang'an, sighed helplessly, and drank down the wine in front of him.
"General Yuchi is afraid that he will die." Baili Wuchang said softly.
"What!"
Baili Sheng was startled, and the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. He raised his head and looked at Baili Wuchang in disbelief, only to see the other party nodded slightly.
Bailisheng was a little confused for a moment, and his mind went blank. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He took another wine bowl, filled himself up with wine, raised his head and drank it all, and then the growth spurt grew.
tone.
Yes, General Yuchi can be regarded as a veteran in the army. Although he has no great achievements, he really has no major faults. He has repeatedly fought with Prime Minister Cui in the court, and finally he still retains some dignity as an imperial soldier. Otherwise, the imperial court will
It became a trick in the hands of Prime Minister Cui.
However, there is one thing in the world that he cannot defeat, and that is time. Of all the people in the world, no one can escape the word death.
General Yuchi, who is old and frail, is indeed no longer qualified to compete with Cui Xiang.
"Seventh brother, what are you going to do next?" Baili Wuchang asked.
"After the charge from Langshan Pass, only 800 of the 30,000 brothers are left. I want to go to Chang'an to seek justice for the dead brothers. They are already dead, and they should not bear the bad name of colluding with the Rong clan after their death."
Baili Sheng gritted his teeth as he spoke, but Baili Wuchang showed no reaction on his face. He picked up the wine bowl and said, "Seventh brother, third brother gives you a bowl."
"It's not the third brother this time. My life has been pledged. I should drink this wine."
"Each generation in the Baili family is not as good as the last. Without the seventh brother to go far away to Liangzhou, I would not be able to sit back and enjoy happiness as a brother, and I would respect you again as a brother."
"Brother, these words are far away. Although we are not from the same mother, what is the difference between us and biological brothers."
"Here, I'll serve you another bowl."
Baili Sheng was already a little drunk now. He said with drowsy eyes: "Third brother, I'm drunk. I can't drink this wine anymore."
After finishing the last bowl of wine, Baili Wuchang also drank all the wine in front of him. He suddenly stood up and the wine bowl in his hand fell heavily to the ground.
There was a clang sound, the wine bowl was smashed to pieces, and two teams of people poured out from the flower hall and pavilion, surrounding Baili Sheng's men.
Bailisheng's drunkenness disappeared instantly. He stood up in embarrassment, staggered back a step, and said: "Third brother, what do you mean?"
Baili Wuchang had a livid face and said coldly: "Seventh brother, don't say that I am a ruthless brother. After three bowls of wine, third brother personally sent you on your way. I only hope that you will not be a member of the Baili family in the next life."
The eight hundred remnant soldiers were also in a hurry. They went to grab the weapons and found that the weapons had been taken away by Baili Wuchang just now. Now everyone was bare-handed and could only dismantle the table and pick up the tray and cups. Some were drunk and staggered.
He fell down, cups and saucers flew around, and soup spilled all over the floor.
Faced with this situation, what else did Bailisheng not understand? The expression on his face froze and he said: "Third Brother, I call you Third Brother again. Before you send me away, can I ask why?
"
Baili Wuchang shook his head: "Some things under the table should not be brought to the table."
