I’m The King Chapter 1163: : Carry on the past and open up the future (fifty-three)
With Ning Xin, the God of Dionysus, everyone is honest. Even He Lanxiong, who has heard Ning Xin's name for a long time and wanted to compete with her in drinking capacity, saw Gao Yuan's determined face, and he was also halfway through. After retreating, he knew exactly what kind of capacity he was. Since he was so confident, he decided not to provoke this woman. What's more, what he heard about Ning Xin's drinking capacity from Xu Yuan and the others was a bit creepy. In addition, He Lanxiong also had something on his mind, so he was really not very happy with the wine, and he didn't see his sister attending the banquet, presumably because what he said this afternoon made her feel unhappy, so he took this opportunity to suffocate with himself Woolen cloth.
This silly girl is still as scheming as before, but she doesn't know that what she does is for her benefit, Ming Zhi's benefit, and the Helan clan's benefit. Besides, it's not a bad thing to retreat bravely.
The academic master I invited had a very deep research on the history of the Central Plains, and the sentence that impressed He Lanxiong most was what the old gentleman said: the most ruthless emperor's family.
He Lanxiong still remembers the in-depth conversation that night, it was the eve before the old gentleman decided to travel far away. Under the reflection of the crackling and burning firewood, amidst the hazy smell of wine, the old man raised his glass to himself: "Dong Weng, thank you for taking care of me over the past year, now I am leaving, leaving When I left, I had a piece of honest advice, but it was **** my ears, I wonder if Dong Weng would listen to it?"
"Of course, sir, please advise."
"Dong Wenggui is now the commander of the Dahan Group Army. Looking at the entire Dahan military, even if Ye Chonggui is the Minister of the Ministry of War, his influence in the military may not be as good as Dong Weng. I don't know if I am right or not? "
He Lanxiong nodded silently. From the beginning of the partnership with Gao Yuan to the end when the entire Xiongnu joined the East Conquering Army, he was one of the founders of the entire Han army from beginning to end. As for Ye Zhong and other generals. It's just that he joined later. When it comes to the strength in the military, it is far inferior to himself.
"It would be fine if Dong Weng was only powerful in the military, but Dong Weng has a very special status. Hundreds of thousands of Huns only follow you. In their eyes, you are their Hun King, Dong Weng's relative My younger sister is also a princess, and I gave birth to Lin'er for the king. It can be said that in the entire Han Dynasty, there is really no one who can be more powerful with Dongweng's family."
"Dong Weng has reached the pinnacle of life. Is Dong Weng satisfied?" The old man narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully.
"Of course I am satisfied!" He Lanxiong replied casually, then suddenly realized, and looked at the old gentleman vigilantly, "What do you mean, sir?"
The old man smiled: "The heights are extremely cold, Dong Weng has already stood on the top of his life, and there is little room for improvement. It can be said that he is under one person and above ten thousand people. What will happen after that?"
He Lanxiong said in a deep voice: "I am loyal to the big man. I am loyal to the king. The king naturally understands my heart."
"Of course, the king definitely understands, but it's not likely that others think the same way. Dong Weng, before you. At that time, he was still a big man who conquered the Eastern Army, and the Cao family was the most powerful. Cao Tiancheng controlled the lifeline of the economy. , son-in-law Sun Xiao holds a heavy army. Son Cao Tianci controls the entire dark forces for the king, but what happened later?"
He Lanxiong remained silent. Later, Sun Xiao quit the military, Cao Tiancheng quit politics, and devoted himself to being a businessman. Cao Tianci was the only one left.
"The Cao family has always been the king's subordinates, so the king's treatment of them can be described as a quick cut, and they will not have any dissatisfaction, but what about you, Dong Weng? Your identity is different from them, so the king Even if you know Dong Weng's strength on paper and his strength on paper, he is still cautious and dare not act rashly, so I guess the king is waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
"I'm waiting for you, Dong Weng, to solve this problem yourself!" The old gentleman smiled and said, "This is also the kindness of the king. In this way, you can protect your brotherhood, and you can treat the princess and the princess." The little prince has great benefits. The most ruthless emperor's family, if Dong Weng you don't stand up and wait until the king has to solve this problem by himself, I'm afraid the friendship will be lost."
He Lanxiong was taken aback by someone's sudden slap on the shoulder. Huo Di raised his head, only to see Gao Yuan holding a wine glass and looking at him with a smile on his face: "He Lan, what are you thinking? Trance? Come, let us have a drink."
He Lanxiong quickly stood up, "I respect the king."
"Your Majesty, at this banquet today, we are all brothers. Have you forgotten those years when the two of us were sitting by the campfire with a Pi Xiang, did you take a sip and I took a sip?"
He Lanxiong grinned, "But your alcohol capacity has always been poor, every time I take a big sip, you just take a small sip."
Gao Yuan laughed, "I will drink this cup with you today."
Looking at the wine glass raised by Gao Yuan, He Lanxiong said with a smile: "I'm done, the king can do whatever he wants."
"No, you are different." Gao Yuan raised his glass, "The friendship between the two of us is different, I must drink this glass." He raised his neck, drank it all, and said with a smile: " What did you do to Swallow today? After you came back, you closed the door and couldn’t come out. You hid and sulked, and you didn’t even attend the dinner.”
"Swallow has been pampered by me, please forgive me, Your Majesty." He Lanxiong also drank it down.
"Go and see her after dinner, we need someone to tie the bell to untie it. Then we two brothers will have another drink." Gao Yuan patted He Lanxiong's shoulder with a smile, and took a flagon from the table , walked to another table of generals.
"The two of us are different!" He Lanxiong chewed Gao Yuan's words, and sat down slowly.
Seeing Gao Yuan approaching, all the generals at that table stood up suddenly.
"Sit down, sit down!" Gao Yuan laughed, pulled a stool casually, sat between them, glanced at them, and said with a smile: "Basically, they are all old people, I am not familiar with Cui Chengxiu. What's the matter, you're still feeling sad about Pengcheng's defeat?"
Looking at each other, she gestured for everyone to bring their cups closer to her. Gu Li at this table was quick in her hands and feet, and her eyes were good. As soon as Gao Yuan's hand signaled, she had already stood up . Gathering everyone's cups together, Gao Yuan filled the cups one by one. Gu Li handed the cups to everyone one after another.
Cui Chengxiu said with shame on his face: "Pengcheng's defeat is indeed our fault."
"Of course, the generals have unshirkable responsibilities, but it's unfair to put all the responsibilities on your shoulders. Strictly speaking, this battle is up to me, down to every member of our Han army. Everyone has to take responsibility." Gao Yuan shook his head slowly, "There is nothing terrible about losing a battle, what is terrible is losing your aggressiveness and losing your spirit. I will tell you here without any hesitation. I am very dissatisfied with Zhang Hongyu, not because he lost the battle, but because he took such a way to take responsibility for the war. Does he think that he can take this responsibility? Wrong, if he I will be more happy if I live alive, sum up this defeat well, realize my shame and then be brave."
"Commander..." Cui Chengxiu raised his head, his eyes were red.
"Okay, Commander Zhang has already gone, and death is the most important thing. I won't say anything more, and I won't lose him for his mourning, but every general of your new army should Remember. I do not like this kind of method, I hope Zhang Hongyu will be the first one and the last one." Gao Yuan raised his glass, "Chengxiu, when I was inspecting Jishicheng Military University. I still hear the words you shouted. As for you, you have lived up to my expectations. Now that you have become an important general in the military, since Zhang Hongyu has entrusted you with the new army, then you should bring this army out in a good manner. With the new weather, there will still be battles to be fought in the future, and the New First Army wants to regain their dignity, so there are plenty of opportunities.”
"Chengxiu will live up to the king's entrustment." Cui Chengxiu excitedly picked up the cup, raised her neck and drank it all.
"Okay!" Gao Yuan nodded with a smile, and turned to look at Gu Li beside him, "Gu Li, you have gone home so hard, but you can't get home. You won't be angry, right? Bring the wine with you later. Give him the bottle to dispel his grievances."
"He won't be angry!" Gu Li smiled, the wound on her face was pulled apart by this smile, and she looked a little hideous, but the one sitting here was not scarred, but she didn't show any strangeness because of it. Rong Rong said, "It's just that the two sons have recognized their birth. The older one is better, but the younger one doesn't recognize me at all. I want to hug him and avoid me!"
"It's hard for you!" Gao Yuan nodded, "I can stay at home for a while this time, and compensate them well. If you don't want to lead the army, just tell me."
"That can't be done, if I really quit, the first one to turn against me must be Dayou." Gu Li laughed, "Wait until I help the king wipe out all the enemies , and spend the rest of my life with him well."
"It won't take long." Gao Yuan smiled and looked at Agu Wynn on the other side: "Wynn, I heard that your Agu family has won a mine in Liaodong this time. , that’s a lot of money!”
A Gu Huai'en hurriedly said: "This is the kindness of the king. When we went to the king, the family was still poor in assets. The king always said that we should not let the money rot in the cellar, so Wynn thought about what to do. Your Majesty is doing something, isn't it that no one dared to buy those mines at that time, they were all waiting and watching, and Wynn came to take the lead, but I really didn't expect to make such money."
"That's what good intentions are rewarded with." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Since you, the mines there have been in short supply. I am a businessman, and I want to ask him to unlock a few more mines. Come, for your vision, let’s have a drink, come, come, everyone, raise your cup.”
Everyone raised their glasses excitedly and drank it down. Gao Yuan just took a sip as usual and stood up, "Everyone is free, but there is one rule, you are not allowed to drink Guli's wine, hahaha!"
Back to the chairman, Ye Jinger left the table with a few children, and only Ning Xin was left with everyone. It's too much to drink. There were only two people with bright eyes during the dinner, one was Ning Xin and the other was He Lanxiong.
"Infantry, I heard that you married a wife in Yuyang. This time, when you come back, don't bring it back for me to have a look. Isn't that okay? And Xiao Yanzi, the boss is not young, so don't rush to find a wife , are you waiting for me to find one for you!" Gao Yuan sat down with a smile.
The foot soldier's tongue was knotted, "The one in my family is not on the stage. I originally wanted to bring her back, but when she heard that she was going to see the king, her legs became weak, and she was pregnant again. I didn't bring it back, and I will definitely bring her to meet the king and concubine next time."
Yan Haibo stood up, twitching his body, and filled Gao Yuan's glass with the jug, "Qin Chu's future, what is the family, I will wipe out all these jumping clowns for the king, and then marry a whole house of wives , give birth to a lot of boys, then teach them martial arts, teach them to lead soldiers, and when they grow up, they will take care of the king's house."
Everyone laughed loudly when they heard Yan Haibo's words, and praised him repeatedly.
"It seems that I really want to find one for you. If you are here, if you have a suitable one, you have to pay attention. Among us old brothers, you are the only one who is still single!" Gao Yuanyao Nodding, said. (to be continued)
