"My father-in-law has worked hard in the southern expedition. On behalf of all the officials, I would like to drink a glass of wine to my father-in-law." Liu Chan raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it down in one gulp.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly raised his glass and said, "I am sweeping Nanzhong for your majesty. It is only thanks to your majesty's grace that I have achieved success immediately. I dare not mention the hard work." He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
All the soldiers also gathered together happily, raised their glasses together, and drank the wine in one gulp. Li Xian finished drinking and secretly smacked his tongue. Although this kind of rice wine is said to be good wine, there are indeed some impurities in the wine. The wine is not strong and has a lot of impurities.
All the soldiers started talking to each other during the banquet. These rough guys were just talking about whose girl was pretty and who had more money. Only the civil servants on the side looked a little reserved.
But Guo Youzhi raised his glass and said: "Prime Minister, although we are civil servants, our poetic talent is far inferior to that of General Jin Shu, whom Your Majesty personally conferred. Why not ask General Jin Shu to compose a poem for such a grand event to reward the soldiers of the three armies?" "
"That's right! Why don't the Prime Minister call General Jin Shu up? His poems and prose may be handed down to the world for generations to come."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Han Xing, your majesty ordered you to write poetry, do you have poetry?"
When Li Xian heard this, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the last general... I have the last general."
Zhuge Liang was also very happy when he heard this and said: "Write it quickly."
Li Xian also took out the jade-haired gold pen given by Liu Chan and slowly wrote: "Full of rage, leaning on the railing, the misty rain stopped. Looking up, looking up to the sky and roaring, with strong feelings. Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds. Heyue. Don't wait and see. The young man's head has turned white, and he is so sad.
Jian'an is a shame, but it has not yet snowed. When will the hatred of the ministers be destroyed? Driving a long car, tramping through Helan Mountain Note 8. The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty. Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que. "
Li Xian also knew this well, and he deliberately paused when he wrote Xieque. He understood that the two characters "Jingkang" had to be changed, otherwise it would not make sense, so he put the reign name of Jian'an in it. To his surprise, he found that this plain name actually They were all closed, and I let out a long sigh of relief.
"Wonderful!" Zhuge Liang immediately touched his palm and said, "General Jin Shu has great ambitions. If he can really assist your majesty in reviving the Han Dynasty and restoring the old capital in the future, this poem will be an eternal masterpiece."
When Liu Chan heard that Zhuge Liang was so happy, he even ordered someone to read it out in front of everyone. After listening to it, Liu Chan had a lot of thoughts, but when these thoughts came to his lips, he could not express them. He could only keep saying: "What a poem, what a poem!" "
After the banquet was over, each party received their rewards. Among them, Zhao Yun was granted the title of General Zhendong, and the leader of the Central Guards was granted the title of Marquis of Yongchang Ting. Immediately afterwards, Li Xian no longer used the general title given by the emperor, but was granted the title He created a general who conquered the east, only under Zhao Yun. Among them, Wei Yan was also promoted to the general of Zhenbei, and Wu Yi was appointed governor of Guanzhong.
This reward seems to be a reward for returning from the Southern Expedition, but in fact it is also a signal that the Northern Expedition is imminent. No one needs to point it out, someone will understand the reason.

Zhao Mansion.
"Disciple, come and have a few drinks with me!" Zhao Yun obviously couldn't conceal his excitement, and Li Xian didn't know that the two masters and apprentices had finally changed from miscellaneous generals to important generals. Once they did such an important job, General No. 1 must be used in the Northern Expedition. The only difference is that Zhao Yun's General Zhendong is a higher level than General Zhengdong.
"Disciple, here's a toast to Master, but Master, I don't want to get drunk this time, lest I tell nonsense again and make Master laugh." Li Xian quickly picked up the wine glass.
"Throughout the ages, generals of the Han Dynasty have regarded the title of marquis as an honor. Today, my disciple takes this cup to congratulate the master on the title of marquis. I hope that the master will be victorious on the day of the Northern Expedition and will be successful!" Li Xian said and drank it all.
Zhao Yun sighed and said: "What you said is right, don't wait any longer. I'm so sad when my head turns gray. I'm afraid that a person of my age will only be able to survive for another two or three years? What if I can really see the recapture of Chang'an?" , I will be satisfied. It will be a blessing for future generations whether they can see the revival of the Han Dynasty."
"Master, back then I wanted to attack the Central Plains and was so proud and happy. Why did I suddenly become so arrogant today?" Li Xian couldn't help but wonder.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "I have already passed the age of my destiny. Fortunately, I have you as my disciple. Although my martial arts skills are a bit unsatisfactory, I am fortunate to be quite clever. I can be six or seven, which is not bad."
"Master must not be depressed because of age. Your Majesty gave Master the Zhendong General today just because he wants to use you as the forward general!" Li Xian was also helpless. For some reason, his master suddenly began to feel depressed.
Zhao Yun then smiled and said: "Frontguard general? When the second and third brothers were there, I had never been a forward general. Later, Wen Chang came. This man was brave and resourceful, and he was also a forward general. In the Northern Expedition, of course he was With General Zhenbei as the forward, I'm afraid we still won't be able to grab this position."
Li Xian was also silent when he heard this. He didn't know how heroic his master was when he was young. With a spear in his hand, he could stir up chaos in the opponent's army, rushing left and right as if he was in an uninhabited land. He didn't expect that today because the vanguard was not him, he was silent. However, he was a little depressed for a while, and coupled with his old age, he seemed to be so old and depressed. Even though he was granted the title of Marquis, he actually seemed depressed and unhappy.
"Master, you must not think like this. According to my guess, the Northern Expedition should be considered next year. When all preparations are complete, it will not be more than a year at the latest. As for the Northern Expedition, I think according to the Prime Minister's intention, it should be It is divided into two groups, and one of them, the master and the prime minister, should lead one group." Li Xian said with relief, how dare he say that, in fact, the army led by Zhao Yun was not a large army at all, but a suspicious army. If he said it at this time, it would only be He was afraid that his master would be so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. After all, he was a veteran general in his seventies and a veteran of two dynasties. Even if he personally handed over a hundred thousand troops to his leadership, he was completely qualified.
Zhao Yun's expression softened slightly, and he asked again: "By the way, where did you get the poisonous arrows that day?"
Li Xian was startled by the question and said: "To be honest, as soon as General Zhao left the camp, Sun Zusong came back with the Prime Minister's military order. These poisonous arrows were all used by the local powerful to defend themselves against wild beasts. The Prime Minister immediately I ordered my archers to change their quivers and prepare kerosene, and come to help you."
Zhao Yun nodded: "The prime minister is the prime minister. He has clever calculations and predicts the enemy's plans first. Zilong is ashamed."
"Master!" Li Xianben wanted to give some words to persuade, but he was interrupted by Zhao Yun, saying: "No more words, let's drink! After drinking, I will compete with you in archery."
"Disciple, I obey!" Li Xian then picked up his wine glass and began to drink.
