Listening to the cheers of the surrounding soldiers, Xiao Yuan stepped out of the car and raised his hand slightly.
With its prestige, everyone was instantly silent.
"Tonight, there will be an open-air feast in the camp!"
"I want to reward the three armies and have a good time with the soldiers. I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Qin army burst into cheers again, the sound was like a wave, and the scene was grand and spectacular.
In this joy and excitement, Xiao Yuan also smiled gently and got out of the car.
Ning Zhan quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Your Majesty."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan patted his shoulder and led the generals into Northeast Pass.
This expedition not only pacified the ghost tribe, but also brought back huge wealth. Not to mention the emeralds and jade treasures, the gold and silver from the ghost tribe's treasury alone filled countless carts, almost equal to what they had gained from their previous invasions of the Central Plains. Called back in full.
After returning to the commander's tent, Xiao Yuan also called the grain officer and asked directly: "Is the army's reserve of wine and meat enough?"
"Your Majesty, there is no problem in rewarding the three armies tonight, but if you let us eat and drink, we may consume all the meat." The grain officer returned.
"No matter how much the consumption is, take out all the wine and meat." Xiao Yuan said neatly: "The soldiers followed me on expeditions, traveled long distances, and fought in foreign lands. It was so hard. All this is for the stability and prosperity of the country. How can I treat the soldiers of Great Qin badly?"
The grain official felt deeply: "Your Majesty, the Mingjun and the Holy Master, how lucky the Qin Dynasty is."
"Okay, you go down and get ready."
"Yes, I will take my leave." The grain officer saluted respectfully.
Xiao Yuan looked at Peng Shuang again: "Go and pass on my military order. There will be a banquet tonight. Drinking is allowed. The soldiers can eat and drink freely."
Without wine, it wouldn’t be a celebration party.
When Peng Shuang heard this, he immediately became excited. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "I have the order!"
With that said, he left in a hurry.
Xiao Yuan looked at his back and smiled.
Most of his generals are lovers of twosomes, especially Xu Hu, who is addicted to alcohol.
That night, the bright moon was in the sky.
At the open-air banquet, Xiao Yuan was sitting directly above the main seat, with a group of generals, counselors and civil servants on both sides below him. Each had a case in front of him, and the food and wine had been served.
Below, there were Qin army officers and soldiers gathered in small groups.
Before the banquet started, Xiao Yuan picked up the wine bowl and stood up, walked to the front, faced the soldiers, and said in a loud voice:
"Soldiers!"
The crowd fell silent, and all eyes were focused on him.
Xiao Yuan held the wine bowl in his right hand and glanced around:
"The war has been won!"
"It's all up to you and other warriors to fight with blood, so that we can eliminate evil and violence and wipe out foreign troubles!"
"Without my soldiers, how could the Great Qin be so powerful and glorious!"
Hearing this, Wang Su hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Without Your Majesty, where would the Qin State and the world be today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to shout in unison: "Without Your Majesty, there would be no Great Qin—"
The shouts shook the sky and lasted for a long time.
Xiao Yuan said again in a shocked voice: "Pour the wine!"
Following his order, the wine jars were opened one after another.
When the wine was filled, Xiao Yuan raised the wine bowl in his hand and shouted: "All officers and men drink from this cup!"
"Your Majesty!!!"
People shouted in unison again, picking up their wine bowls and drinking down the wine in one gulp.
"My great Qin soldiers are so magnificent!"
Xiao Yuan was overjoyed. The strong wine was like a knife, burning down his throat. A random trace of the wine stains made him feel proud.
"All officers and men are at the table! Be sure to eat and drink freely, and drink and talk happily!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!!"
Xiao Yuan returned to the main seat and extended his hands to the civil servants and generals: "Everyone, please don't stand around. Please take your seats quickly."
"Your Majesty, please—"
Next, the whole place was crowded and lively. I don’t know how many people there were. I couldn’t count them. As far as I could see, there was laughter and the sound of glasses and cups being exchanged everywhere.
Xiao Yuan also received repeated toasts from Peng Shuang and others.
The wine was very strong, and he could not withstand it: "Lao Peng, if you keep doing this, I will fall drunk here."
Peng Shuang smiled heartily and said: "I know that your Majesty has a good drinking capacity, so he would never do this. Your Majesty, please."
Xiao Yuan waved his hands repeatedly: "You ladies should drink together, you should drink together."
The atmosphere of this banquet was undoubtedly extremely good. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the soldiers were almost done drinking. Many people gathered together to drink and brag.
There are also people wandering around, looking for drinks with colleagues who live and die on the battlefield.
Xiao Yuan also drank heavily with the generals, including Jia You, Wang Su and other counselors. They did not escape the generals' drunkenness. Everyone's face turned red and their tongues were tied after drinking.
After Lou He drank to his heart's content, he even aroused some emotions and said with tears: "Your Majesty, it is the greatest honor for me to meet you and follow you."
"Lou Qing, don't say this, come on, have another drink." Xiao Yuan was also dizzy.
"I respect your Majesty."
The next morning.
When Xiao Yuan woke up, he suddenly felt dizzy. This was the state after being drunk. He couldn't help but think of Gu Xue's gentle fingers. She would always say drink less while gently squeezing him.
He stood up in his middle coat and said, "Here comes someone."
"Your Majesty." The guard immediately entered and ordered the sergeant to bring toiletries.
Xiao Yuan said while putting on his clothes: "Inform the generals that the army will rest at Northeast Pass for a few days, so that the soldiers can relax."
"No." The guard took the order and left.
On the other side, Chang'an.
The news that Xiao Yuan had pacified the ghost clan had been sent back. Upon hearing this, all the ministers in the dynasty were very excited and their joy was beyond words.
Yao Tingyu immediately asked to see Lu Yunyan to report the good news.
The latter received him in a pavilion in the palace garden.
Seeing his appearance, Lu Yunyan felt something in his heart. This veteran had always been steady. The last time he showed such a gaffe was when Xiao Yuan defeated Dong Ling.
She couldn't help but ask: "Yao Qing, is it possible that your Majesty has wiped out the ghost clan?"
"The empress is virtuous and wise." Yao Tingyu said with unconcealed excitement: "A letter has just been sent back. Your Majesty spent half a year, after the decisive battle in the Nali Plain, defeated the ghost army, pacified the ghost clan, completely eliminated foreign troubles, and took the head of the ghost king. class."
"In this battle, our army annihilated all the military forces of the ghost tribe and gained countless gold and silver. In a few days, your majesty will return our troops to the court."
"Okay! Okay!" Lu Yunyan clasped her white fingers, and her beautiful face was no longer cold: "Your Majesty's expedition has been away from the capital for nearly a year. I have been worried about it every day, but now I am finally free from worries."
He stood up and said: "Preach this good news to the world. This is a moment worthy of celebration by the Chinese people!"
"Yes, veteran, take your orders." Yao Tingyu said with a smile on his face.
After he left, Lu Yunyan also went to Gu Xue and the others to share the joy with them.
Soon, officials came forward to announce the news, even to various counties and villages.
And this matter is undoubtedly a bombshell.
Those are the ghost clan that invaded the Central Plains several times.
The people rushed to tell each other, beat gongs and drums, and the whole people cheered.
