"Hahaha, cough, cough, cough!" Guo Chong drank the wine in one gulp, and the hot wine made him cough violently.
"You bastards, we agreed to use water instead. Who gave the emperor the wine to drink? The emperor has been unable to drink for a long time. I will settle the score with you later." Qian Delu cursed several chamberlains in a low voice.
Several chamberlains were silent. They had prepared water, but the road was very bumpy just now and the water bottle was broken. They had to replace it with strong liquor.
Guo Chong recovered quickly and laughed loudly: "Good wine. After drinking this bowl of wine, you will work hard to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. I hereby promise that as long as you fight bravely, I will promote you."
I will give you an official position to commend you for your heroic deeds. Don’t worry, if you win, I will reward you heavily. If you are injured, I will treat you. Even if you are killed in battle, I will give you generous sympathy. Your wife, daughter, parents, I
It must be raised. You can go to war with peace of mind and don’t have any worries. I have arranged everything for you. Do you understand?"
"Long live, long live, long live!" the soldiers shouted. After drinking, they were provoked by these extremely inflammatory words. All of them blushed and had thick necks, and looked extremely excited.
"...I wish you immediate success and a triumphant return. I am waiting for you in the capital to bring back the good news of victory." Guo Chong ended his passionate speech with inflammatory words.
Under the stage, Lin Jue stood quietly in the queue on the north side. He was impressed by Guo Chong's eloquence and passion. Although he didn't know Guo Chong very well, and he didn't think he was superior. But Guo Chong's words of encouragement,
It is true that the person who said it was enthusiastic. Despite the hypocrisy in his words, in terms of eloquence, Guo Chong is still quite extraordinary.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I would like to confer flags on the soldiers who are going out on the expedition." Yang Jun bowed and said to Guo Chong.
Guo Chong waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "That's right!"
Yang Jun thanked him, turned around, and gave orders loudly. For a moment, cannons were fired continuously, and drums and music were blasted. Yang Jun stood on the stage and said loudly: "In the name of the Privy Envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I present flags to the soldiers on the expedition. On this expedition, the soldiers
Divided into two routes, one went east to quell the chaos on the east and west roads of Beijing, and the other went north to quell the chaos in the five counties north of Beijing. The two princes, King Jin and King Huai, even personally led the army and did not avoid danger. The emperor had an edict and appointed the king of Jin as the general to suppress thieves.
The King of Huai is the general who fights against thieves. The two generals have no distinction in rank. They will automatically step down after suppressing the rebellion. Now, I will award the two generals the Blue Dragon War Flag."
Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, two war horses slowly came out from the side of the high platform, one on the left and one on the right.
Coming out of the first platform on the left was a group of black horses. The man on the horse was wearing a silver helmet and a scarlet cloak. He was holding a golden spear in his hand. His whole body was shining with light under the setting sun. But when he saw him urging the horses, he suddenly
The horse galloped straight out. The horse was as fast as lightning, and it rushed across the center line in front of the stage in an instant. The man on the horse suddenly pulled back the reins, and saw the black horse standing upright, neighing, and spinning in the air.
When the front hooves fell, the horse's head was already nailed to the ground facing the direction of the reviewing stand. It was really a horse like a dragon and a man like jade, extremely neat and strong.
"Okay!" There was a burst of warm applause and cheers from both the stage and the audience. The people on the horse smiled and said nothing, and bowed their hands to the stage.
This person is the second prince Huai Wang Guo Xu. This move not only shows his superb riding skills, but also shows his handsome and strong figure. It is really eye-catching and stunning. Guo Chong saw what Guo Xu did on the stage.
He was acting cool, stroking his beard and smiling, and felt very comforted in his heart. From Guo Xu, he saw the shadow of himself in the past. Once upon a time, when he was young, he was also riding and shooting. He was superb and high-spirited. Guo Xu was simply a replica of himself when he was young.
Dede! There was the sound of horse hooves. People's attention was drawn to the white horse trotting on the right. The white horse was obviously very handsome, but the rider's poor riding skills made such a magnificent white horse useless.
The eldest prince Jin Wang Guo Mian who was riding on the horse nervously pulled the reins and pulled the white horse's head to one side. One person and one horse came trotting in a deadlock. The horse rolled its eyes, and the people on the horse were panting from exhaustion.
Don't come awkwardly in front of everyone.
Guo Mian's armor is also very gorgeous. It is actually golden armor. Unfortunately, it looks awkward when worn on Guo Mian. It looks like it was stolen and does not fit at all. Guo Mian cannot hold a weapon at all.
A big knife hung on the victory hook and swayed back and forth. He held firm with all his strength, holding on to the reins with one hand and the wood on the front of the saddle with the other, fearing that he would fall off the horse.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of soldiers and Guo Chong's ministers, Guo Mian finally came to stand in front of the high platform. When he stopped his horse, there was a burst of low laughter. It turned out that he had stopped in the wrong position, with his horse's butt facing the platform.
Guo Chongjun and his subjects.
Guo Chong had a gloomy face and let out a displeased snort from his throat. Lu Zhongtian, Wu Chunlai and others on the side covered their mouths with their sleeves to hide their uncontrollable smiles.
Guo Mian also knew that he had stopped in the wrong direction, and tried his best to turn the horse's head. However, his riding skills were not good, and the horse spun in front of the stage, neighing violently, but could not stop the horse's head facing the high platform.
At this moment, Guo Mian turned the divine white horse into a living donkey.
"Brother Imperial, let me help you." Guo Xu said with a smile, leaned forward and grabbed Guo Mian's horse rein, shaking his wrist to control the direction. The white horse finally stopped with its head facing the high platform.
Guo Mian was sweating all over. His back was sore from the weight of the heavy armor, and his helmet covered his eyes. He was in an extremely embarrassed state. But he still scolded: "Who wants your help? I can do it myself."
Guo Xu smiled, didn't care, and bowed his hands to the stage. Guo Mian also bowed his hands to the stage.
Above the stage, Yang Jun shouted loudly: "Give the flag."
Dozens of riders came galloping carrying two green dragon flags. Amidst the sound of drums, the two big flags were handed over to Guo Mian and Guo Xu respectively. Guo Xu held the flag with one hand and resumed, hunting with the dragon flag, which was quite majestic. Guo Mian
He dared to wave the big flag, and held the Qinglong flag pole in his arms and carried it on his shoulders. The flags were twisted together, which was extremely embarrassing. Everyone couldn't help but buzzed and laughed.
"From now on, the two generals will lead their troops to the battlefield to quell the rebellion of the religious bandits. As your superior officer, I will supervise your actions throughout the process. I hope that the two generals will live up to the trust of the court, the expectations of the emperor, and
Wherever the people look, wherever the horses' hooves tread, the religious bandits will be wiped out." Yang Jun said loudly.
"We will never let down the emperor's trust and live up to the expectations of all the people." Guo Mian and Guo Xu shouted loudly.
"Okay, let's move on with the army!" Yang Jun ordered loudly.
The "Dong Dong Dong" cannon sounded loudly, and the two princes returned to their troops. The troops and horses slowly set off, one army headed north, the other east, rolling away.
…
The 10,000-strong army on the North Road set up camp ten miles away from Beijing. The so-called expedition oath was just a formality. The army set off before dark, indicating to the outside world that the court had begun to counter the rebellion. But by choosing this time to set off, it was obvious that the army could not leave.
How far.
After setting up camp, Guo Mian held the first military advisor meeting at Guo Kun's suggestion. At the first watch, the magnificent tent decorated by Guo Mian was brightly lit, and more than a dozen leading generals arrived one after another. Guo Mian had already changed his command.
He took off his heavy armor and wore a light robe and sat in the big tent. There were wine and food in front of him, and he was feeling dizzy from drinking.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they entered the big tent. Guo Kun even frowned.
"Come, come, come, sit down, sit down. Lin Jue, come and do it by my side. I never have the chance to talk to you more, but now I can finally see you every day. Come here, serve wine to all the generals."
Guo Mian greeted warmly.
Guo Kun finally couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "General, there is military discipline in the army. How can you, as the commander, break it? Drinking in the army is a taboo. It is even more inappropriate to ask the generals to drink with you.
Already."
Guo Xu frowned and said: "Why are you so annoying? We are only ten miles away from the capital, and there is not going to be a war soon. What's the matter with a few drinks? My bones are falling apart after these ten miles. I drank some wine to relax.
?Besides, who said you can't fight after drinking? Why are you generals so unbearable? I think back then Taibai wrote hundreds of poems about drinking wine. If generals like you were like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to write even a single line of poetry. Comparing scholars
You warriors are much more powerful."
Everyone was stunned and speechless. The emotional general regarded himself as a warrior and regarded himself as a scholar. Didn't he know that he was now the general leading the army? Many people secretly cursed in their hearts, and at the same time they were also faintly worried. Originally, with an army of ten thousand,
With such a good configuration, it is very difficult to exterminate the religious bandits. But with such a leader, I am afraid there will be big trouble.
Guo Kun frowned and said: "The laws and disciplines in the army cannot be violated, especially if you are the commander-in-chief, you cannot break the laws and disciplines. Otherwise, the generals and soldiers will follow suit. Without the restraint of military disciplines, the army will be in disarray. How can we fight this war?"
Guo Mian said angrily: "I said Guo Kun, what's the matter with you? Why are you still lecturing me? Who is the coach, you or me? You can't do it, but I can. I didn't want to fight in the first place, but the court insisted on it.
To catch a duck, do you think I want to be the coach? I am most annoyed by these fighting and killing things, but you want me to be the general. I only drink some wine, and you keep talking. Lin Jue
, please comment, these people who have never read books don’t understand the taste at all. I also plan to drink some wine and write a poem about going on an expedition. They don’t understand the taste of us scholars at all.”
Lin Jue sighed in his heart. The eldest prince Guo Mian can be said to be the best. He grew up in a honey pot, danced and wrote all day long, and thought he was elegant and uninhibited. But in fact he is a playboy. I am afraid he will also be a "why not eat minced meat" character in the future.
He didn't know the seriousness of it. But he still had a bad temper. Guo Kun tried to persuade him, but he was still not happy. According to this attitude, the general had deserted him before the war started.
"General, drinking may not be a big deal, but it is really not appropriate to drink now. This place is only ten miles away from the capital, and the news will be sent to the capital in an hour. If the emperor learns that the general is drinking in the army, I am afraid he will issue an edict to blame him. I think
"It's better not to drink this wine. As for talking about poetry, I can accompany you. After the military meeting is over, it's okay for the general and I to discuss it in our free time." Lin Jue said with a cupped hand.
Guo Mian was startled. Lin Jue hit his weak point with just one sentence. He might not care about military discipline or the opinions of Guo Kun and the generals. But he did not dare to ignore his father's feelings. He was so close to the capital.
The news will soon spread to the capital. If someone files a complaint, why don't my father scold him? He doesn't dare to anger Guo Chong.
"Father, it's not necessary to make a fuss out of a molehill." Guo Mian argued forcefully, but pushed the food and wine aside. Lin Jue waved to the handyman and took the food and wine away.
