"The military buildings in the city are too small. There are too many soldiers and horses. The captains can't use them. They all went to find a place to camp outside the city. They went to train soldiers and horses."
Liu Zhixing knew this very well and said with a smile.
Wu Nian smiled and nodded.
Now he has seven captains under his command, each commanding three thousand households. Now Long Qie is in Ding County, Zhang Jin is in Yuan County, and Liu Wu is in Beishan Fort.
There are four school captains stationed in Jiang County, plus a general named Feng Chong.
Although Jiang County is large, it is still a bit small compared to so many soldiers and horses.
I can't use my hands and feet.
In particular, Feng Chong's cavalry required quite a large space.
"Gather them all here. The matter of the celebration banquet will be left to you, Lao Li." Wu Nian nodded with a smile, and then said to Li Yong.
"yes."
Li Yong nodded in agreement.
immediately. The two of them left. Wu Nian asked his soldiers to help him take off his armor and went to rest in the bedroom of the county government house.
He didn't even eat lunch and fell into a deep sleep.
By the time the soldiers came in to wake him up, it was already evening.
"Are all the captains here?" Wu Nian asked the soldiers beside him while washing himself with hot water.
"All the captains in Jiang County are here." the soldier replied.
Wu Nian nodded and finished washing up very quickly. Wearing a purple brocade robe with narrow sleeves, a silk ribbon of the same color on her bun, and a black jade belt around her waist, she looked both imposing and noble without a sword.
Surrounded by his soldiers, Wu Nian walked out of the bedroom door, walked along the corridor, and reached the outside of the main room.
He stood at the door and looked inside, his eyebrows slightly raised, showing a look of surprise.
This is no ordinary banquet.
It's a banquet with separate meals.
All the chairs and coffee tables in the main room were removed. A unicorn screen is placed in the north, with a long black table in front. Food and wine are placed on it.
Between the two, there is a black soft cushion.
There are eight slightly smaller long tables placed on the left and right below, and the civil and military officials are sitting on their knees respectively.
Liu Zhixing and Li Yong were two important ministers who assisted the Han generals.
Chen Jiagui joined the army.
Currently in Jiang County, Xiaowei and Qianhu.
Tieniu, Wei Ru, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Feng Chong.
Seeing this display, Wu Nian was stunned for a moment. I remember that when I attended banquets in the past, there was always a round table, and everyone ate together.
Of course, stage fright is out of the question.
Wu Nian walked in with his head held high, and under the attention of everyone, he came to the main seat and knelt down. He had never specifically learned to sit on his knees, so his posture was certainly not standard, but his waist and abdomen were straight, extremely upright, and full of momentum.
"General."
Wenwu waited for Wu Nian to sit down before bowing to Wu Nian.
"No courtesy." Wu Nian waved his hand, then turned to look at Li Yong with a smile and said, "Old Li. Why did you do this?"
Immediately, Wu Nian looked up at everyone and said with a smile: "How is it? Is everyone used to it?"
"I'm not used to it. They're all country bumpkins. Just share a table to eat. I don't know why Lao Li did this." Tieniu was the first to complain.
"Hahaha. That's right. I was really shocked." Wang Gui laughed and shook his head.
Except for Liu Zhixing, who came from a good family, and Wei Ru, who came from the top Wei family among the generals, the rest were all country bumpkins.
This incident really embarrassed them.
"Haha. It's true that we were country bumpkins before, but we can't always be country bumpkins, right? We confiscated half of Zhang's mansion, and there are a lot of ornaments in these cases."
"This celebration banquet is of great significance. I was thinking that it should be more grand." Li Yong himself is also a country bumpkin. His sitting posture is not standard, but he is very calm and said with a smile.
"Hahaha. That's true." Zhang Sheng nodded and laughed.
"Well said. Princes, generals and ministers would rather have their own kind. It's true that we were bumpkin before, but we can't stay bumpkin forever. There is a first time for everything. It's quite comfortable to sit like this."
Wu Nian nodded, feeling very encouraged.
This kind of banquet, just this kind of banquet. We are all people who have been through strong winds and waves, so why can’t we let go?
But before the banquet. Wu Nian still has one thing to do. He raised his head, glanced at Feng Chong, then looked around at everyone, and said: "This battle. Everyone, whether they went out to fight or stayed behind, all contributed."
"But I am just a general supporting the Han Dynasty, so I can't give you any official title. So I only gave you some fields and houses."
"But one person must be sealed."
After saying that, Wu Nian looked solemn, raised his hands and clapped them.
"Pop."
A soldier came in carrying a square plate wrapped in red cloth, with a seal wrapped in red cloth placed on it.
Carrying the seal, the soldier came to Wu Nian and knelt down on one knee.
Everyone knows what is going on. They all turned their heads to Feng Chong, their eyes barely friendly.
Feng Chong has a bad temper and can't talk to anyone.
Not to mention that everyone dislikes him, at least he is disliked by everyone.
But Feng Chong is very capable.
Their team needs people like Feng Chong. Everyone pinched their noses and recognized Feng Chong.
For example, Tieniu called Feng Chong "Niao Si" in private.
Feng Chong, a member of a thousand households, sat at the end and was originally unhappy. But when I saw this seal, I immediately became energetic, held my head high, and became so powerful.
"Feng Qianhu. If you hadn't worked hard with me in this battle, I wouldn't have been able to kill Jin Huanshan. You have done a great job. I now worship you as the school captain."
"Together with the other seven captains, you will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army. I hope you will continue to fight hard to drive out the Tartars and regain Liaodong for our Yanhan people."
Wu Nian stretched out his hands and solemnly took the plate from the hands of the soldiers, stood up, and said to Feng Chong.
At this solemn moment, Feng Chong did not cause any trouble. With a red face, he stood up from his seat, knelt down on his knees, raised his hands above his head, lowered his head and responded loudly: "Yes."
Wu Nian nodded with a smile and handed the plate to Feng Chong. Feng Chong put down his hands and held the plate in front of his chest, bowed to Wu Nian, then stood up and returned to his seat and sat down, head held high and chest high, very arrogant.
Like a peerless swordsman, he drew his sword and looked around.
You are all rubbish.
Although this guy is annoying, he does have skills. Everyone was unhappy, but they tolerated it.
Wu Nian also returned to his seat and knelt down, looking up at the civil and military personnel present, plus Zhang Jin, Long Qie, and Liu Wu who were guarding the field.
One long history, one Sima.
One joins the army.
Eighth Colonel.
Although the sparrows here are small, they have all the internal organs.
The future is promising.
Wu Nian's heart was surging. He took a deep breath to calm down. Then he picked up the wine glass with his right hand, held it in front of him, and said to everyone: "Respect the Yanhan."
"Respect the Yanhan."
All the civil and military officials also picked up their wine glasses and their voices were loud and loud.
A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face, and he raised his head and drank the glass of wine together with the civil and military officials.
A sip of old wine goes down your throat for thousands of years.
