Zhang Fei had already poured the wine for the four of them, and he looked intoxicated when he smelled the aroma of the wine. He praised: "You are really a wine drinker! I, Lao Zhang, have been drinking wine for half my life, and this time I have taken advantage of you, Lord Marquis. Don’t just eat or drink, that’s so boring!”
After saying that, he couldn't wait to raise the wine bowl. Qin Ge and the other two picked up the wine bowl, and the four of them touched it lightly.
Zhang Fei couldn't wait to drink it down, and Guan Yu also tasted the wine and kept praising it. He ate dry biscuits with the royal wine, not to mention it was really delicious.
At Zhang Fei's urging, Mi Zhu stopped drinking because she had something to do.
Qin Ge and the others exchanged cups. In less than a quarter of an hour, not a drop of the three jars of wine was left. Zhang Fei smashed his mouth and said, "This emperor is a dim-witted man, but the wine he makes is so damn delicious. Our Lao Zhang’s tongue almost didn’t swallow it!”
Qin Ge also regretfully took out Qilin City's Piaoxiangzui. Although this wine was already famous and opened up the market in Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou, it was far inferior to Yujiu.
"Master Hou! I don't know why you evolvers call our brothers Second Master and Third Master. Those little minions are shouting to give them face. You, the Champion, are shouting like this one after another. We brothers are embarrassed!" "Zhang Fei drank liquor and began to become talkative.
Qin Ge laughed and said: "You two are loyal and courageous heroes, and your reputation is famous in China. We came from later generations and have become gods and saints. This is an honorific title! Get used to it!"
Zhang Fei was confused after hearing this, while Guan Yu and Mi Zhu seemed to know about this and acted relatively calmly.
"This time, Third Master, you are here. I asked the brothers of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry to come over and get together. They have made great contributions in this national war. If it weren't for them, my entire army would have been wiped out long ago. Brothers are also always thinking about San Master..." Qin Ge thought of the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun. It had been several years since Zhang Fei asked them to follow him to the border to kill the enemy.
These brothers all grew up with Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei valued friendship and summoned them to come and get together with Zhang Fei.
"What are you doing seeing them! It's their blessing that they follow the Marquis and make contributions to the country. They live a more majestic life than me, Lao Zhang! Lao Zhang, I don't have the face to see them!" Zhang Fei sighed after being silent for a while.
Guan Yu changed the subject and said: "I heard from Mr. Xu Shu that Mr. Hou and the Liangshan bandits have ceased war and are preparing for strategic defense! Recently we have heard a lot of rumors. The nobles in Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou are very dissatisfied with your passive suppression of bandits. Hou I’m afraid the reputation you established during the national war will be affected!”
Qin Ge heard Guan Yu's remarks, and he had also heard some rumors recently. Some people in the court even used this to criticize, but they only complained a few times, and no one dared to stand up and object openly.
After all, only Qin Ge can hold up this part of Qingzhou. It is already a miracle that Qin Ge united hundreds of thousands of state soldiers and conquered some counties without the Han court sending troops.
He just complained about Qin Ge's attitude towards the Liangshan bandits. In addition, He Jin was now awarded Jiuxi and controlled the military power of the world. The Han clan, nobles, etc. felt the threat of dictatorship and wanted to use Qin Ge as a breakthrough point to criticize. Just He Jin.
"Fame and wealth are just fleeting. I took the initiative to fight against the bandits in Qingzhou, not to gain an official position. Let them say whatever they want! It is my lifelong wish to make the people here live and work in peace and contentment, with adequate food and clothing! As for now My fame and title were earned with the blood and sacrifice of countless brothers. They were buried in the ice and snow to protect this land. I have earned money by being able to survive now! Why are my brothers fighting? Are they those who are as greedy as jackals? The nobles who are as ruthless as wolves, or the officials who are ruthless and mediocre? They are here for their families and homes. I once swore to them and promised to lead them to defeat the enemy and rebuild their homes. This time, there are refugees from Youzhou who followed me to Taishan County. Five to six million, as long as these people can rebuild their homes, Qin will have no regrets in this life!" Talking freely with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Qin Ge thought of the Snow Wolf Valley that day and the faces that fell in front of him, and felt sad Feelings also opened up the conversation.
Guan and Zhang were very interested in the national war, and the three of them drank wine and talked about some thrilling things on the battlefield.
Qin Ge's words were filled with excitement, and Guan Zhang's words were filled with emotion. In the blink of an eye, it was almost dusk, and the soldiers had finished their work. After washing, they were sitting not far away, wolfing down the food and water sent by the villagers.
After Guan Yu heard many deeds that had been deified for a long time, the reality was even more thrilling to him. He raised his wine bowl and said: "The champion is right, those brothers who died in the war fought for the billions of people of the country and the nation. This is the real truth." National justice, Mr. Hou! Your words of willingness to hunt with the heroes of the world in the forest of nations are truly heroic and courageous. Only those with such a mind as Mr. Hou can be worthy of being an unparalleled hero. I would like to give you a drink, Guan. In this life, I have the opportunity to ride on the battlefield with the Marquis and hunt among the nations of the world. Guan will have no regrets in this life!"
Guan Yu was so angry that he lost his arrogance and held Qin Ge's hand to toast him.
Qin Ge also had a very lively chat with Guan and Zhang, and toasted: "The neighbors around the Chinese civilization are all like wolves and tigers, and many civilizations regard us as meat on the chopping board. I think the Goryeo invasion is just the beginning, maybe Soon, the crisis will come again. China is really lucky to have such heroic Second Master and Third Master to protect it!"
After talking and having a drink with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei on the side also picked up his glass and said: "Me too!"
Hearing this, Guan Yu poured out a bowl and said: "Guan had little knowledge in the past. Lord Marquis did this not only for the common people, but also for the future of the entire Chinese nation. If the bandits in Qingzhou are not eliminated, how will China be able to recuperate and recuperate? The world's human, material and financial resources will be lost." There will be internal strife, which will eventually lead to another foreign invasion, and there will be no resistance like last time. In this way, the entire nation is in danger of being destroyed in an instant. The Marquis does not care about his own honor and disgrace, but for the sake of the future accumulation. Guan Mou is so embarrassed, we should take Mr. Hou as a role model, Guan Mou will give you another drink!"
Zhang Fei's blood boiled when he heard this: "Me too!"
Qin Ge heard that Guan Yu was able to point out his own strategy. Qin Ge admired such a wise and brave hero even more, and raised his glass to have another drink with Guan and Zhang.
Guan Yu finally picked up a bowl of wine and said: "When the Marquis knelt in front of the General's Mansion in the rain in Luoyang to beg for war, the common people said that you were shameless for the sake of high officials and rich salaries, but your courage in national war showed your great wisdom and courage! You You are right, the righteousness between brothers and sisters is a personal righteousness, the righteousness between the honor and disgrace of the monarch and his subjects is a small righteousness, and only the patriotic righteousness of the nation and state can be called a great righteousness. For the sake of the great righteousness of the Marquis, I will toast you again!"
Zhang Fei also nodded deeply and said: "Me too!"
Qin Ge drank Guan Yu's last bowl of wine and felt a little dizzy. He waved his hands and said: "Second Master and Third Master are drinking too much. I really can't do it anymore. I have a meeting tomorrow morning. If I drink like this today, I have to drink it." I have been unable to get up for a few days. As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, I have to share the joys and sorrows with my brothers. My brothers have not had a drink for a long time. I am so happy to see you two today that I have broken the military rules and can't miss anything anymore!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were only three-thirds drunk and did not enjoy themselves at all.
Seeing that Qin Ge was already a little unconscious, he laughed. The two brothers had not drank so happily for a long time. If Qin Ge stopped drinking, they picked up the wine jar beside them and started drinking by themselves.
Mi Zhu blinked almost blindly, and kept hinting to Guan and Zhang to talk to Qin Ge about business, but in the end they just drank, and Liu Bei didn't mention a word about being the prefect of the prefecture.
Mi Zhu came up to Qin Ge and said with a smile: "Champion Hou Hailiang, I'm here to discuss important matters!" Guan Zhang looked at each other and drank in silence.
Qin Ge was already a little confused. He patted Mi Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Compared with Zifang, you are always a little less heroic. You are too calculating and I don't like it! I am happy today. If you have anything to say, just say it!" "
Being almost knocked to the ground by Qin Ge's slap, Mi Zhu saw that Qin Ge was about to lose consciousness and secretly scolded Guan Zhang for insisting on persuading him to drink and making Qin Ge drunk. Wouldn't this delay the important matter?
"General Liu also has great righteousness. Only Chengyang County was saved from the banditry after the fall of Qingzhou. This is General Liu's great contribution! Unfortunately, there is no one in the court, and General Liu's achievements cannot reach the heavens. I also hope that General Qin can be among the great generals." A few kind words in front of me! I asked General Liu for the post of Chengyang County Governor, and General Liu will definitely remember the champion Hou Daen!" Mi Zhu said and clapped his hands, and several military warriors opened several large boxes of rare treasures.
Qin Ge shook his head and laughed: "Xuande is looking down on me. Since I can recommend the merits of the second and third masters, how can I miss Xuande? I mentioned Xuande's merits in the memorial. This is what I want to do." If you don’t believe me, please read it yourself!”
As he said this, he handed a request for merit to Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu read it once and said, clasping his fists: "Of course we are impressed by the justice and strictness of the champion, but now that traitors are in power, it is common for people to have merit but not be honored. What Xuande Gong meant was that he hoped that the marquis could follow the path of a general and introduce him to the court! After that, Xuande Gong heard that the champion was forming a blue-scale army, and the state government could only allocate 30% of the troops from the county. Spiritual energy, and Duke Xuande can donate another 20% of the spiritual energy of the military government for the champion to train troops! And in the future, he can transfer 10% of the spiritual energy and the right to mobilize the territory's money and food to the state capital every year! I heard that the champion is suppressing bandits in Le'an, all The warships were civilian ships and could not maintain their advantage in water battles. Xuande Gong accidentally obtained the production manual for a type of ship called Feilang. Although this ship had a smaller draft than ordinary ships, it was as fast as the wind on the water. The sailing speed is several times that of ordinary civilian ships!"
Qin Ge fell silent after hearing this. Now the entire Qingzhou Prefecture can only rely on Chengyang County controlled by Liu Bei. Liu Bei's troops and the Beitang family have made great efforts to resist the Liangshan bandits this time.
Moreover, there will inevitably be another war with the Liangshan bandits soon. Qin Ge wants to use Liu Bei's power to contain the Liangshan bandits.
Now Qin Ge's only hope is to pacify Le'an County as soon as possible, restore the stability of people's livelihood in Le'an County as soon as possible, and form two poles with Taishan County, so that he can gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou.
In the past few days, 50,000 silver-scaled soldiers and a group of Qingzhou-born troops who could meet the transfer requirements have all been transferred to 100,000 blue-scaled soldiers.
Since the silver-scale armored soldiers were a special type of unit that existed before Qianye, they were ordinary bronze-grade units, and their entry requirements were relatively low.
Moreover, he was originally a sailor, but his combat effectiveness in the water has been qualitatively improved by the green scale soldier who was transferred from the silver scale armor soldier.
The ordinary Qingzhou county soldiers who were transferred to the green scale soldiers needed a lot of water combat training. In view of this, Qin Ge expanded the scale and transferred all the sailors from Le'an County to the silver scale soldiers.
Let them participate in the bloody battle of water bandits. After growing up, they will be transferred to Green Scale Soldiers and gradually create a powerful navy.
One hundred thousand Qinglin soldiers and one hundred thousand Changshui battalion cavalry were fully deployed in Le'an County, and the effect was immediate. In addition, the Evolver navy unit, combined with Yanhuang City and Xuanyuan City, experienced several water battles with Liang Shanshui Army, forcing Liang Shanshui Army to force The troops were reduced to around Shouguang County.
The two naval forces of Zhenhai and Weihai took advantage of the situation to sweep away the water bandits entrenched in Le'an County, and now control 70% of the territory of Le'an County.
