Cui Pinhua said excitedly: "Some of them are good. Thank you Brother Huang for taking care of me! Brother Huang saved my life again. I'd like to give Brother Huang a drink!"
Brother Huang clinked a glass and said, "Where do you start talking about this?"
Cui Pinhua briefly explained the lurking situation at that time and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, at that time, I thought to myself, I'm done! This time I'm going to die for my country! Who knew that the goddess's divine beast Fire Phoenix flew over, and there was also a message coming from above Brother Huang’s words and my little brother’s shock at that time are really extraordinary!”
Everyone laughed.
Huang Xiao said: "Supervisor, generals, Reporter Cui was able to brave the severe cold, take extraordinary risks, and lurk nearby for an hour to record the evil deeds of the slaves. Such a feat is really amazing! We respect you One drink for him!”
All the generals stood up suddenly.
Cup until the wine is dry.
Cui Pinhua was elated and in high spirits.
Huang Xiao said to Sun Chengzong: "Supervisor, this is my old friend in the capital. I neglected you earlier..."
Sun Chengzong laughed loudly and said: "Don't say that, Mr. Hou has a true temperament! Reporter Cui is also a good man, and he will sit at this table in no particular order!"
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "Many of you are meeting me, Huang Xiao, for the first time, but I respect you so much! Yuan Chonghuan is brave and resourceful, General Mangui serves the country bravely, General Zhao is also brave, and so are the rest of the generals. What a man! I’d like to toast you all.”
Mangui and others were overjoyed and stood up to clink glasses with Huang Xiao.
The three of them were extremely happy to be praised by the Exalted Immortal Zhongyi Marquis himself.
The atmosphere at the scene became even more lively, with people coming and going. Seeing that Sun Chengzong was almost drunk, he did not dare to let Huang Xiao drink more. Several people personally sent Huang Xiao back to the other garden to rest.
The generals dispersed, and Sun Chengzong approached and whispered to Huang Xiao before leaving.
Sun Chengzong returned to the Yamen and stopped Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui.
Sun Chengzong said: "Tomorrow's trip of the empress and the Marquis is related to our Ming Dynasty Zuo, so we have to pay great attention to it. There were many people at the banquet just now, so I didn't say much. I value you two very much, and I have nothing to say about your loyalty. explain.
In front of the banquet, I have already asked people to set out overnight to go to the forts, keeping an eye on the beacon towers and messengers. I must pay attention to the empress's trip tomorrow. "
Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui were both shocked.
Yuan Chonghuan praised: "The supervisor is flawless in everything he does, and he will finally be taught!"
Mangui said: "Whatever the supervisor has ordered, it doesn't matter if you say it!"
Sun Chengzong nodded.
"I just discussed with Marquis Zhongyi to delay his departure tomorrow. On the one hand, I said it was not safe for Marquis Zhongyi to be drunk today. On the other hand, I wanted to ask Marquis Zhongyi for advice on the new policy, and Marquis Zhongyi agreed.
I have other plans, but if I tell them, Marquis Zhongyi and the empress will definitely not agree. Therefore, I can only kill them first and then report them!
The governor decides! Our Liaodong Army sent two teams of elite soldiers to arrive nearby to ambush in advance to prevent any unexpected events!
I’ll leave this matter to you two! If nothing happens, I'm just worried. If something happens, I hope you will issue a military order. How about that? "
Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui knelt down on one knee!
"The final general will definitely live up to the trust entrusted by the governor and swear to defend the empress and Marquis Zhongyi to the death!"
Sun Chengzong helped the two of them up and said, "I am just preparing for a rainy day. It's best if nothing happens. It's just a hard trip for you."
The two generals nodded in understanding and discussed the details.
Yuan Chonghuan sighed: "Yuan thinks very highly of himself. Today he can see the empress and the Marquis, two saints. He is really emotional!
I was deeply moved by what the empress and the Marquis said and did. Supervisor Man Gui is not afraid of their jokes. Now that I think about it, I will shed tears! I, Yuan Chonghuan, am so lucky to meet such a wise king in this life, so-and-so! You must serve your country loyally and die! "
Mangui also said loudly: "Yes, in order to prevent us and others from being sacrificed, the empress and the Marquis decided to take the risk themselves. This is so kind. The lives of our soldiers are so important to the Empress and the Marquis." , It’s really touching!”
Sun Chengzong sighed and said: "At that time, His Majesty was seriously injured in the attack, and I was really anxious! At this time of internal and external troubles in the Ming Dynasty, something happened to Your Majesty, and the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos in the blink of an eye! One mistake will lead to the collapse of the country!
However, Mr. Huang was the first to turn the tide, and the empress was behind to turn things around! I really didn't expect that the empress, as a woman, could take on such a responsibility! What a great blessing! "
Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui thought so.
Yuan Chonghuan said: "What the Superintendent said is absolutely true! Although the empress is young, she is calm and calm in everything, which is really rare!"
Mangui said: "Marquis Zhongyi is also such a talented person! Alas, it's just a pity that we can't see the two saints often and listen to their teachings!"
Sun Chengzong laughed and said: "Didn't Marquis Zhongyi say that? Will he and the empress come here again in the spring? What we have to do now is to implement the New Deal. Previously, because of the tense war, we couldn't do anything, but now Jiannu is scared out of his mind. , I can’t wait any longer, otherwise, what will Marquis Zhongyi and the empress think of us?”
Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui responded loudly.
Sun Chengzong said: "You all should have experienced the previous achievements and elites of Wang Ergou's troops! Compared with our Liaodong Army, both in terms of discipline and combat power, they are many times stronger!
With such elite men, Marquis Zhongyi has established a new army in Dahuangzhuang, Tianjin Wei, Yansui Town, and Zhangjiakou in Xuanfu, while Xiong Tingbi has established the Huaiyuan Army in Huaiyuan County! "
"If I don't step up my study and training, within a few months, our Liaodong Army will be reduced to a third-rate army. In the end, not to mention assisting the empress and the Marquis, we may even be dismissed.
You know, Chen Jiawu in Yansui Town just laid off 30,000 garrison troops at once. If that happens, even if you wait to fight bravely..."
Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui were shocked and stood up suddenly.
Yuan Chonghuan said: "What the supervisor said is absolutely true! If this is true, the general will be really ashamed to see others!"
Man Gui also said excitedly: "Superintendent, although Wang Ergou's tribe only has more than forty people, everyone is capable of literary and military skills. Even if they are sent out to lead troops, it will not be a problem! They are really elite! But we also have some If you follow the example with your heart, you will not get the right way!"
Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "You can think so. I am very pleased. Didn't Marquis Zhongyi arrange for Wang Ergou's troops to be stationed in various ministries as quartermasters? You can ask for advice with an open mind! Take advantage of the new policy reforms to get rid of the old and weak and eliminate empty pay. , from now on, the evils of eating empty pay and drinking soldiers’ blood will definitely never happen again. Please pass on these words and strictly control them. If you commit any offence, take them down and kill them!"
Both of them's eyes lit up when they heard this.
"Please don't worry, Inspector!"
Sun Chengzong nodded.
"So, you go back, count your troops, take your brave soldiers, and set off overnight!"
…
"I knew you knew how to drink. Come here, sit down, and drink hangover soup."
Zhang Yan personally delivered the sobering soup, which flattered Huang Xiao.
She said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are so good to me!"
Zhang Yan glared at Huang Xiao: "Are you going to drink?"
"drink."
Huang Xiao drank the bowl of hangover soup.
