This woman is Lian Shuyuan, the only female general in Da Qi!
Everyone smiled at each other and responded in unison: "I will punish myself with three cups of wine."
Lian Shuyuan raised the corners of her mouth, and a smile flashed in her eyes: "This is what you said yourself. Okay, let's each drink three cups of fine wine first."
Lian Shuyuan was born with a cold face and did not like to joke. She was extremely cold and solemn in the military camp, and the soldiers all respected her.
If they saw this scene, their eyes would probably fall down in shock.
In today's palace banquet, Lian Shuyuan was the absolute protagonist. Everyone stepped forward to greet her like stars holding the moon. Even Xie Mingxi could not take away the grace of General Lian who had returned from a great victory.
Lian Shuyuan smelled of alcohol, and it was obvious that she had drank at the celebration banquet at noon.
Xie Mingxi smiled and joked: "How much wine did Master drink today?"
She was used to hearing the title General Lian, and when she suddenly heard the word Master, Lian Shuyuan felt familiar, warm and friendly. She couldn't help but laugh: "Today is the celebration banquet. The Emperor personally raised his glass and gave me three toasts."
.All the generals in the army also came to propose a toast. Fortunately, someone stood up for me, otherwise I would have been drunk long ago."
Who took the initiative to stop General Lian's drinking?
No need to ask too much, you can get a glimpse of it just from Lian Shuyuan's rare gentle expression.
She must have a good husband.
The couple spends less time together and more time away from each other. Even when they get together, they don't look as clumsy and loving as a young couple. When outsiders see them, they often have to secretly criticize them. This is probably the most unlikeable couple.
Only those close to them know that the relationship between their couple is deep and intimate. It's just that the way of expressing it is different from that of ordinary couples.
Gu Shan smiled and asked: "Where is Commander Zhou now? You might as well invite him to have a few drinks with you."
Lian Shuyuan smiled calmly and said: "He kept blocking the wine for me. He was so drunk that he was carried back to the house to rest."
Everyone: "..."
Well done to Commander Zhou for sacrificing his life to protect his wife!
…
After chatting and joking, everyone took their seats one by one.
Lian Shuyuan sat down next to Chief Gu. Everyone was not in a hurry to toast and drink, but they all asked about the previous war.
Lian Shuyuan's glorious achievement of killing King Zhangde with her own hands has long been known to everyone. However, hearing it from Lian Shuyuan's mouth gave a different taste.
"...I was actually quite lucky to have killed King Changdeok in one battle that day."
Lian Shuyuan recalled the situation that day and her brows widened: "King Zhangde thinks very highly of himself. From the very beginning, I made a plan to show weakness, which made King Zhangde feel arrogant and looked down upon me.
.However, I did not expect that King Changdeok would personally lead his troops out of the city."
"I can't miss such a good opportunity. Hundreds of soldiers around me are shouting invitations to fight at the same time. King Changdeok has the best face, how can he refuse?"
As a result, because of this impulse, King Changdeok was killed by her sword.
After the death of King Zhangde, the morale of the troops in the city was greatly lost and chaos broke out. The subsequent siege battles were also extremely smooth. Within a month, Zhangde City was completely defeated.
Everyone listened with great interest, and Yin Xiaoxiao looked fascinated. She imagined that she could lead troops into battle to kill the enemy and achieve military exploits like an honest man, and become the second female general of Daqi. How satisfying it would be... I could only imagine.
Just think about it.
With her current status, she could not even leave the capital, let alone enter the military camp.
"It is not difficult to attack the city, but the subsequent pacification is difficult." Lian Shuyuan's voice became slightly darker: "King Zhangde has been the vassal king for decades, and the people in the vassal area only know King Zhangde and don't know the current emperor.
There is fear and resistance towards the imperial army. If they cannot be appeased, I am afraid that civil unrest will arise."
"After I led the Shu soldiers to garrison in Zhangde City, I ordered the Shu soldiers to maintain order in the city and strictly ordered them not to disturb the civilians. If there is burning, killing, looting, they will be killed without mercy."
"After the siege, the victorious Shu soldiers were quite complacent. Thinking that they had won the battle, they should grab some gold, silver and women."
"To tell you the truth, there are more than fifty people in the Shu army who have been beheaded by my personal order. In this way, the Shu soldiers were restrained by strict military orders."
Speaking of this, Lian Shuyuan sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
She recruited and trained all the soldiers of Shu. They were brave and fearless, and they sacrificed their lives when attacking the city, and they all achieved great military exploits. They did not die under the swords of the feudal soldiers, but they were executed by her military law.
Of course, these dark things did not appear in military intelligence reports, and were only mentioned once in a private letter to the emperor and empress.
…
Everyone was in awe after hearing this.
Yes! War has always been so cruel. As a good general, you must not only be ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to soldiers who violate military discipline.
Xie Mingxi comforted her softly: "Master, there is no need to worry about this. Everything you do is done openly and openly, without any selfish motives. Look up to the sky, and you are worthy of the earth."
Lian Shuyuan took a deep breath and smiled: "You are right. I am not ashamed. Everything is for the sake of pacifying Zhangde City as soon as possible."
Xie Mingxi stood up and said with a happy smile: "Master returned from a great victory and made great military exploits for the Qi Dynasty. We are all students of Master, and we are all proud of Master. Let me first offer you a glass of water and wine."
After saying that, raise your glass and drink the water and wine.
Lian Shuyuan also smiled and raised her glass to drink.
Lin Weiwei immediately stood up: "I also toast you, Master. As a woman, you are a general and lead the army to conquer the vassal, which is an example for us. I toast you, Master."
Lian Shuyuan smiled and raised her glass again.
Gu Shanchang smiled and said: "Don't just toast, let Shuyuan have a rest and eat more dishes." As he said this, he personally served Lian Shuyuan.
"The mountain chief is so kind to me, but I am disrespectful." Lian Shuyuan showed no coyness and smiled.
The banquet quickly became lively.
Of course, a banquet like this cannot be complete without someone who loves to join in the fun.
Half an hour later, someone changed into his regular clothes and showed his face with a smile: "My classmates, friends and teachers are gathering together, how can I be missing?"
Lin Weiwei and others have long been accustomed to the emperor's shamelessness, and boos and boos are everywhere, all in jest and laughter: "There are all women here, and the emperor is also present, I'm afraid it will be a lot of inconvenience!"
"Exactly. Our classmates are gathering with my master, why would the emperor join in the fun!"
Xie Mingxi did not help him, and just stood by with a smile on his face.
In terms of shamelessness, no one can match Sheng Hong.
He blinked and said with a smile: "I was also a student of Lianchi Academy back then, and was a disciple accepted by my master. How can this celebration banquet be done without me?"
Lin Weiwei continued to boo: "Speaking of which, we also miss the 'Sixth Princess' back then. Why don't the Emperor wear women's clothes again, so that we can relive our friendship as classmates in the past, and we can also enjoy ourselves."
