"Oooh!"

The rooster crowed, awakening the people of the city. It also awakened Wu Nian.

In the bedroom, Wu Nian opened his eyes, but he was not as energetic as before and felt a little dizzy and weak. This time he was not seriously injured, but the wound was infected. Fortunately, the condition was not serious.

"Huh." Wu Nian didn't want to get up, but he was really hungry, so he called his soldiers in. He got hot water, washed up, and then went to the outhouse to have breakfast.

I don’t dare to eat any big fish or meat for breakfast, only rice porridge, vegetables and other light foods.

This thing is useless after eating, so I have to take two more meals in the morning, and by the way, I have to take a piece of Chinese medicine.

But after eating the porridge and having something in his stomach, Wu Nian felt warm all over and felt much better. After a while, he came to the study to read. After reading for a while, he felt sleepy and sat on the chair.

Fell asleep.

Until Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng walked in from outside.

"What's going on?" Wu Nian opened his eyes, braced himself, and asked.

"General, are you okay?" Wang Gui asked cautiously without saying anything.

"Yes. General, does it matter if you want me?" Zhang Sheng also asked nervously.

"I'm strong, nothing's wrong." Wu Nian cheered up and said with a smile.

Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng was still worried, and after carefully observing Wu Nian's face, he felt a little relieved. The two came to the left and right seats and sat down. Wang Guicai said: "General, we have taken stock of the Goguryeo prisoners.

There are more than 18,000 people. Including the five or six thousand people who surrendered in the previous battle, there are at least 23,000 people."

Wu Nian laughed when he heard this, nodded and said: "Let's put it this way. The number of soldiers who escaped back to Goguryeo is only over 10,000 at most. Goguryeo's vitality is seriously damaged."

"Yes." Wang Gui nodded in unison and showed joy. This battle is really of great significance.

"Do as before. Move these Goguryeo captives to Nanhai Prefecture, Guangchuan Prefecture, and Yingqing Prefecture. Send people to teach them Chu Mandarin, and organize them to build bridges and pave roads on a daily basis."

Wu Nian said without thinking.

Wang Gui raised his voice but did not answer, with a troubled expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Wu Nian asked confused.

"General, let's just forget there were five or six thousand people before. Now there are at least 23,000 people. This is not a small number. It consumes a lot of money and food every day, let alone sending people to teach them to speak Chinese."

Wang Gui shook his head and sincerely expressed his opinion.

"There is no way. I can't kill them, nor can I train them into an army. They won't be determined to help me fight. Let alone let them go back to Goguryeo. I can only feed them. Besides, I have said before

Let them learn the Mandarin of Chu. Unify the written language and unify the Mandarin. It will be of great benefit to us when we occupy Goguryeo in the future."

Wu Nian's idea was very correct, he shook his head and said.

"Yes." Wang Gui looked at each other and said nothing more.

After saying these few words, Wu Nian felt weak and looked sleepy. Seeing this, Wang Gui Zhang Sheng was about to get up and leave.

At this moment, Tieniu's loud voice rang out.

"General. I'm back."

Wu Nian raised his voice and Wang Gui's face suddenly showed joy. Wu Nian cheered up and stood up, walked to the door, looked at the red-faced Tieniu, and said with a smile: "You are back now, which makes me really worried.

"

After a pause, Wu Nian said: "How is it? When you meet Li Yunchong, will Zhao Man become a success?"

"Anyway, we didn't bring the heads back." Zhang Sheng said with a smile when he found that his good brother had empty hands.

"Haha." Wang Gui chuckled.

Tieniu raised his hands to show that he was indeed empty-handed. Then he shook his head and said, "Don't talk about bringing back the heads. If you come back alive, I will be Amitabha."

He recounted his encounter with Zhao Mancheng in detail. At the end, he said to Wu Nian: "General, I am incompetent. Let the tiger go back to the mountain."

After hearing this, Wu Nian and the other three broke out in a cold sweat. They looked at each other with expressions of fear and joy.

"What do you mean by letting the tiger return to the mountain? You are safe and sound, which is better than anything else." Wu Nian said sincerely, regardless of whether he was being pretentious or not, he spread his arms and gave Tieniu a bear hug.

"Yes. Saving the dog's life is better than anything else." Zhang Sheng nodded repeatedly.

Wang Gui stretched out his right foot and kicked Zhang Sheng.

"Yeah. I'm really happy to have saved the dog's head." Tieniu nodded heavily, showing a look of joy. The four of them talked at the door, came in and sat down.

Wu Nian recalled what Zhao Mancheng said before leaving, and praised: "I have my ambitions. He has his own way to protect his family and country. Although we are hostile, we all do our best."

"But." At this point, Wu Nian sneered and said, "It's just that he wants to keep Goguryeo, but it's not that easy."

"Soon. I will cross the Yalu River and march to Goguryeo. I will capture the Queen Mother Jin and make her kneel in front of me. I will capture the King of Goguryeo alive and destroy their ancestral temple."

Tienniuhu's eyes flashed, and he raised his head and said: "The general is right. This boy is arrogant. He thinks that if he defeats me, he will be invincible. There are many among us who can control him."

"Kill them."

He clenched his right fist and punched it heavily on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair.

"Hehehe." Looking at his energetic look, the brothers all laughed.

"Okay. You are tired too. Go down and rest. In a few days, Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu will be back. I have prepared a celebration banquet. You will not come back until you are drunk. You must be in high spirits. Don't go without food.

After a few ounces of wine, I got down."

Wu Nian said with a smile.

"Okay." Tieniu responded. Then he, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng went down together. Wu Nian was also tired, so he went back to the bedroom to catch up on his sleep.

........

Lunch time.

In the hall in the front courtyard of the county government office, all the imperial chairs have been removed, and a round table is placed in the center. Various dishes are placed on the table.

Four maidservants stood in all directions, ready to serve at any time.

Wu Nian, Guan Jinhan, Huang Hu, Zhao Yanting, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Long Qie, Cheng Yulian and other eight people sat around the round table.

Wu Nian sat in the main seat as a matter of course.

Today he is wearing a purple robe and a golden crown on his head, looking majestic and noble. After these days of cultivation, he has also cultivated enough energy and spirit, and his face is rosy.

He wanted to get drunk, so he picked up the wine bowl in front of him, raised his eyes to the brothers in front of him, and said: "Brothers, this battle has been full of twists and turns, but the result is gratifying."

"Goguryeo was half disabled after the First World War, and I am afraid that it will never dare to cross the Yalu River again. There are 32 counties in Liaodong's five prefectures, and now there are 26 counties in five prefectures in my hands."

"There are six counties left, are they still far away?"

"He Dasheng."

After saying that, Wu Nian picked up the wine bowl with both hands, raised his head to the sky and drank it all. This was strong alcohol.

When strong liquor enters the throat, it is like burning.

It's exactly like Wu Nian's mood now.

Passionate as fire, I will not return until I get drunk today.

"He Dasheng."

Everyone did not hesitate and celebrated together, then also raised their heads and drank.
