"Qin Shubao! Cheng Yaojin!!!" Xiao Han's hands trembled with excitement. He went up to grab their hands and shook them hard! History is not kidding me after all! What was supposed to come came, but it came with perseverance!
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao, who were already worried, were confused by the sudden appearance of this young man. Cheng Yaojin pulled his hand a few times before taking his hand back, clasping his fists and asking Xiao Han doubtfully: "This young master knows me and my uncle." precious?"
"I know, I know!" Xiao Han laughed loudly. How could he not know him? It is estimated that every Chinese knows about Cheng Yaojin, the devil incarnate!
Looking at Xiao Han who was obviously nervous, Cheng Yaojin became more and more strange. He touched his head and then turned to look at Qin Shubao next to him in confusion.
When Qin Shubao saw Cheng Yaojin looking at him, he could only shake his head with a wry smile. He really couldn't remember where he had seen this young man.
At the critical moment, Li Shimin pointed at Xiao Han and coughed softly: "Ahem, this is the person who suggested that I write to you. He is the Marquis of our Tang Dynasty, Xiao Han!"
"Oh~" Several people were in awe after hearing this! Although I don’t know how this person thought of surrendering, he still quickly raised his hands and saluted: "I have met Mr. Xiao! Thank you Mr. Xiao for surrendering!"
Xiao Hanle can no longer see his eyes! He quickly helped a few people up and laughed: "Thank you! We will all be brothers from now on! Haha..."
"The grace of knowing someone! This is the kindness of knowing someone!!!" Xiao Han thought in his heart.
Move the army back to the division! Since they don't fight, Li Shimin will not chase them to fight. To the east is the great city of Luoyang. Li Shimin never thought that he could win that city now!
The army slowly returned to Xiazhou City. Those who stayed behind had already received the news and opened the city gates to welcome the return of the army.
Daqing! Must celebrate! What are you waiting for if you don't fight to defeat the enemy and don't have a great celebration?
Although it’s not yet dinner time, the smoke from cooking pots is rising all over the city, and the smell of rice is everywhere!
The chubby gang leader danced his spatula like a hot wheel, causing the soldiers waiting aside to cheer from time to time! Celebrating today! Countless food supplies are open! Feel free to eat whatever you can!
At Li Shimin's residence, generals from all walks of life gathered together. Xiao Han, as a minister of great merit, sat safely in the upper position, exchanging cups with other generals, and drank with great enthusiasm!
I don’t remember how much I drank, but it was already dark when I got off the banquet!
After drinking, Xiaodong and Lengzi carried him back to the room to sleep. Anyway, Cheng Yaojin at the table had already vomited while holding the vat at the door. As for Qin Shubao, who had always looked like a gentleman, he was sitting behind the door with dull eyes. , I can’t understand why this wine is so strong!
On the second day, the weather was calm, and Wang Shichong, who suffered a dumb loss, miraculously did not come back to call for formation! This somewhat surprised the people in Xiazhou City.
In the small courtyard, Xiao Han woke up with a splitting headache! My brain feels like it's about to split! No way, this quick steamed wine still needs to be improved...
After enduring the pain and washing, my groggy head felt better. When I went out, I looked up and saw Cheng Yaojin walking out of another yard with his head covered! But for some reason, when he looked at Xiao Han, he turned a 180-degree turn and walked straight back, as if he had seen a ghost!
"Brother Cheng!" Xiao Han couldn't let him run away, so he quickly shouted at his back.
Cheng Yaojin complained in his heart, but he couldn't pretend not to hear. He could only turn around and pretend to be surprised when he saw Xiao Han and said: "Ah, Brother Xiao! Good morning!"
"Morning!" Xiao Han laughed, walked over and pulled Cheng Yaojin out, saying as he walked: "You haven't eaten yet! Come on, come and eat with me!"
Cheng Yaojin was dragged by Xiao Han and said in embarrassment: "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, it's okay to ask me to eat, just drink to relieve the hangover!"
"Eh? How did you know that wine can cure hangover?" Xiao Han asked in surprise.
Cheng Yaojin pointed to the back and said with a grimace: "This morning, someone told us early! They said that Brother Xiao's wine is too powerful for hangovers, and it is not something we ordinary people can bear..."
"Haha, okay, just eat and drink tea, no hangover!"
"This is so disrespectful..."
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin was also a cultural person, and that’s right. Both he and Qin Shubao were born in Shandong, and their ancestors also came from official families! He is not the robber described in the novel at all.
Xiao Han is happy, but Cheng Yaojin is confused.
He and Qin Shubao had long been prepared to be bullied or made things difficult for them. As a surrendered general, it is possible to receive a killing blow! But I didn't expect that after entering Tang Fang, everything felt comfortable. And all of this is related to this strange Lord Marquis in front of him.
I asked a few people casually in the morning to know about Xiao Han's deeds. Unexpectedly, everyone who was asked would give a bunch of different answers with respect on their faces.
This kind of reverence is sincere, Qin Shubao and the others can see it! They originally thought that Xiao Han was able to reach a high position at his age because of his family's blessings, but they didn't expect that this person had worked completely by himself until now.
Miracle doctor? Master craftsman? Doesn’t it take time to accumulate? The table in the room, the tea in the mouth, and yesterday's wine were all made by this person?
This is an amazing person! Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao both thought so.
Luoyang City was quiet, there was no sound, even the scouts who had been extremely active in the past few days disappeared. This change left Li Shimin and Changsun Shunde scratching their heads. They could only continue to strengthen the city's defenses and send agents to find out the news.
It was quiet for a whole day. On the third day, someone reported that an old friend came to visit.
Xiao Han hurried to the city gate, only to find that the city gate had been opened long ago, and many people were standing at the door waiting to see the messenger.
This is the second time Zhou Yong has come to Xiazhou City, but the purpose this time is completely different from the last time. This time he is here to negotiate peace!
Perhaps the escape of Qin Shubao and others was a huge blow to Wang Shichong, or perhaps he had no choice in the face of Xiazhou City with more than 40,000 people.
After thinking about it for a day, Wang Shichong finally decided to give up the idea of capturing Chang'an and instead develop eastward and southward.
This is a great thing! The way things went was even more perfect than Li Shimin imagined! Without the pressure from Luoyang, Xiazhou City can mobilize a large part of its troops, and even recruit more people to mine salt mines and transport salt to Chang'an and other places in the future!
The arrival of Zhou Yong and others was solemnly welcomed, and the two parties signed an agreement together. Burn the sacrifice table and tell God that we have formed an alliance and can no longer fight! To show his sincerity, Li Shimin also deliberately took out Yin Shijie and a group of prisoners and handed them back to Zhou Yong. Zhou Yong also presented treasures to symbolize the eternal friendship between the two parties.
Everyone knows this is just a show! The two parties wanted to kill each other as soon as they turned around, but now, they did this with such seriousness that even God believed it to be true and shed "tears" of emotion.
It rained heavily, and the candles and incense were extinguished. The prisoners outside were soaked in the rain while cursing Zhou Yong in their hearts. Why isn't the damn ceremony over yet? If it continues like this, instead of fighting to death, it will freeze to death!
