Cheritsu raised his glass to Yuan Shu. Hua Xiong and Guan Yu were also pulled to sit down by him. According to Cheritsu's words, they are brothers in the army and are brothers on weekdays. There is no need to restrain Yuan Shu.
There was no objection, so Hua Xiong sat down with Guan Yu. Cheli was currently serving as the general protecting the Qiang, and in terms of military positions, he was superior to Yuan Shu.
He is also the Qiang with the highest military position in the entire Han Dynasty. He once served as a military marquis under Zhang Huan and participated in the Guzang Campaign. He had many military exploits in the battle against Tanshihuai and fought bravely.
However, he never retreated even half a step. Later, despite the objections of the officials, the emperor appointed him and dismissed him as the captain of the Qiang Guard, and later he was promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General.
He did not live up to the emperor's love. During his many years of military service, he appeased the Qiang people throughout the Northern Han Dynasty. In foreign battles, the Qiang soldiers he led were also brave and unstoppable, fighting repeatedly.
Sheng, Yuan Shu respected him very much and had always wanted to make friends with him. When Zheng Xuan found out, he summoned Cheri and introduced him to Yuan Shu.
The two became good friends as soon as they went back and forth. Qierize admired Yuan Shu, a general who started from the bottom of the soldier, because he himself was the same. From a barbarian who was despised by others, he became a famous Han lieutenant.
Later, Yuan Shu introduced him to his two subordinates, Hua Xiong and Guan Yu. Hua Xiong was a rough man, while Cheri was a generous person, so Hua Xiong quickly got to know him.
Although Guan Yu had a lot of disdain for scholar-bureaucrats, he still had great respect for such warriors in the army.
This time, Chelishe suddenly came to talk to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu had just returned from the Western Regions and had four days to rest, so he found fine wine and hosted a banquet in honor of Chelishe. Chelishe chatted and laughed with them, but suddenly he frowned again.
He nodded and pursed his lips, but soon, he hid this uneasiness again. Only Yuan Shu and Guan Yu noticed the uneasiness in his heart.
"Zhonglang...you and I are good friends?"
"Of course we are friends..."
"What can't you tell us about?" Yuan Shu asked.
Hua Xiong was a little confused, smiled, poured them more wine, and said with a smile: "What can happen to the Zhonglang? He is the Zhonglang General. In Liangzhou, even Duke Zheng in our country does not dare to cause trouble with him.
..."
Yuan Shu turned his head and glared at him fiercely. Hua Xiong immediately said nothing and concentrated on pouring the wine.
Cheriza smiled without saying anything, picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and said: "Don't say more, come on, drink again..." Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said: "Zhonglang drinks.
It's water. We're drinking. You're not afraid of drinking water, but we can't drink anymore..."
"Who said we can't drink..." Hua Xiong just started to speak, and he noticed Yuan Shu's cold eyes. He immediately swallowed the next words, nodded, and said: "It is true that we can't drink anymore..."
Chelishe smiled awkwardly and said: "The water makes my belly bloated..." Strangely enough, as a Qiang people who are famous for their boldness, Chelishe is not good at drinking. Whenever he drinks, he only takes one sip.
He also had a flushed face and an unbearable headache at night, so he never drank alcohol. When he came to Yuan Shu's residence, he would drink water instead of wine. This became an excuse for Cheri. Whenever there was a banquet, Hua Xiong and the others would always use this as an excuse.
Laugh at him.
"If Zhonglang has any worries, just tell us..." Guan Yu said.
"Oh... don't mention it, it's just a trivial matter at home. My father wrote a letter and asked me to go and see him... But..." Cheriza shook his head and was speechless. When Yuan Shu heard this, he immediately understood.
Hua Xiong and Guan Yu were a little confused, but they saw Yuan Shu's solemn expression and did not ask. Yuan Shu knew that when Tanshihuai invaded in the past, Cheli's father forcibly wanted to take him away.
Halfway through the journey, Cherizu realized that he had been deceived, so he led his descendants to support him. They fought bloody battles with Xianbei, but failed to retrieve Zhang Huan's body. He cried with blood, while his biological father led the rest of the Qiang people and walked out.
Liangzhou waited outside for the war to end, and Tanshihuai was defeated. However, Liangzhou was still plagued by plague, and they did not dare to come back. They stayed like this for several years.
During this period, the relationship between Chelishu and other tribesmen was also completely broken, so they lived in the outer areas of Huangzhong. In order to stabilize the situation of the Qiang people, Chelishi specially recruited them into the list of righteous followers in Huangzhong.
Those who were righteous followers were those who had converted to the Han Dynasty, such as the Huns cavalry under Dong Zhuo, who were righteous followers. However, when Liangzhou suffered a disaster a few years ago, these people actually fled their homes.
Fleeing to the wilderness to invade Liangzhou, Cheri retreated with great shame. These were all his tribesmen, or followers appointed by him personally. Their betrayal caused the general in his prime to turn gray overnight, and he personally led his troops to annihilate them.
, has not been able to be eliminated, and now it seems that it has long lost the strong physique it once had. If his father wants to see him now, then Cheri will have no choice but to go outside the Great Wall...
"Zhonglang, if you would like to see your father, you can lead your elite troops there..."
"If I lead a large army there, how can the rats in my clan dare to meet me..." Cheriza smiled helplessly.
"Stop talking, come and drink!"
"drink!"
Several people began to drink, and their bodies were a little warm after drinking. Hua Xiong pestered Cherize and asked him to tell him something about the Battle of Guzang in the past. Cherize thought about it and slowly began to talk about the bravery of General Zhang.
, talking about Captain Bao's unyielding character, Cheli looked at Yuan Shu in front of him again. He was once an infantry battalion captain. He led the Northern Army of less than three thousand, and actually fought with one hundred thousand elite Xianbei soldiers.
The confrontation lasted for more than ten days.
By the time General Duan came at the end, there were less than a hundred people left in the infantry battalion. When Colonel Bao saw the reinforcements coming, he had no energy left and died. Speaking of these things, Cheritsu always had tears in his eyes.
, Zhang Huan regarded him as his disciple and taught him personally. He regarded him as his master, and Captain Bao and others were also his colleagues. In that battle, the only remaining generals in the army were
He alone.
Hua Xiong and Guan Yu clenched their fists. Hua Xiong even shouted, "If I had been born ten years earlier, I would have died with many heroes." Guan Yu deeply agreed and drank with him again. Yuan Shu remained silent. This may be the first time he felt this.
, the meaning of the infantry battalion flag fluttering outside the camp. With his eyes closed, he could still hear from the flag the scene of Captain Bao leading the Northern Army roaring at the top of the city.
Seeing that everyone was a little sad by what he said, Cheriza smiled and told interesting stories about that time.
"At that time, I was stabbed from behind. I thought I was dead. Suddenly, I saw a man rushing from behind and beheaded the thief with one sword. Do you know who it was?"
Yuan Shu and others shook their heads.
"Mr. Zheng, hahaha, Gong Zheng was such a gentle person, but you could never imagine how ferocious he looked at that time. If he hadn't led the knights and knights in the city to rush to the top of the city that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here now.
It’s not safe either…”
"Also, we caught a thief in the wild, and the man was taken into the city. He claimed that he was a descendant of General Zhang... As a result, it was later discovered that he was not at all, and he even shamelessly lied that he was.
Duan Gong's grandson has been saved many times, but now he is also gaining power in the temple. Do you know who he is?"
"Such a shameless person..." Hua Xiong thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Could it be Situ Wang Jiexin?"
"You bastard, Wang Situ was still governing Yangzhou during the old war, how could he be in Guzang County!" Yuan Shu cursed.
"Oh...I don't know..."
"Haha, you don't know that that man has now become the Crown Prince and Tutor, and the minister in charge is Yilang...it is none other than Yilang Jia Xu!"
"well...."
Several military generals shook their heads in disdain and raised their glasses again.
